In the Weissbach Palace.

After receiving the latest information, the Duke left in a hurry.

The content of the Order of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group has also changed.

There is no need to escort the "escort legation", the envoy is already dead, and Viscount Heinrich does not know if he has escaped. However, even if he managed to escape, the Wolfs would treat him as if he were dead, and use this to attack the Weissbachers.

"Discover and thwart the enemy's plot" The conspiracy has been discovered, and it is surprisingly large. The Black Death was no such thing, and the Weissbach family would soon be in full swing with the goal of stopping and killing the man behind it.

Strictly speaking, the Duke was still very satisfied with entrusting the Azure Sword. You must know that the Berg Village that suffered a rat plague, but not a single living person escaped, if the Azure Sword did not survive the disaster of the destruction of the envoys, and came to Mingxing City as soon as possible to report the news.

Then I am afraid that the Weissbach family is still in the dark, and knowing about this matter for a few minutes every night may add hundreds or thousands of casualties.

Eleanor sat there in disbelief, her eyes fixed on the floor, still in her mind of Hood and Maria's corpses embracing.

"He could have been immortal." She muttered.

"A lot of people could have been immortal." Aske replied.

Eleanor was silent for a while, and said with difficulty: "If we hadn't chosen to take on this mission in the first place, but had told our father the information......

"It's not going to get much better." "At the time, we could only be sure that the person behind the scenes was a high-level transcendent, but we didn't know what sequences and abilities he had. ”

"Considering that every time a demigod casts a high-level ability, it is equivalent to consuming lifespan. Before you know that the other party has the terrible ability to destroy on a massive scale like the Black Death, even if your father reports to the demigods, they may not be able to do it. ”

"Indeed." A voice sounded in the corridor in the distance, "So little Eleanor, don't blame yourself anymore. ”

The Duke of Bavaria was followed by a middle-aged man dressed casually, wearing a straw hat who appeared to have just returned from fishing, carrying a fishing rod and bucket in his hand.

"Help me get the fish to work, little Otto." The middle-aged man handed the bucket to the duke.

"Okay." The Duke of Bavaria looked helpless, took the bucket and left.

"Are you, Ancestor?" Eleanor said in amazement.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man took off his straw hat, revealing dark red hair, "I have the same name as your father, also called Otto. But in my day, they used to call me 'Otto the Redhead'. ”

Having the same name as her ancestor is also a traditional art of the nobles of the HRE Empire, so Eleanor quickly accepted this identity. Instead, Asker thought for a moment and asked:

"Why do I think your premise is a bit familiar?"

"Hahaha." The middle-aged man smiled heartily, "Have you ever heard the legend of the battle between me and Duke Henry the Lion before?" ”

Eleanor suddenly realized and said in surprise: "You are the first Duke of Bavaria of our Weissbach family!" The one who defeated Henry the Lion! ”

"That's a long story." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "However, let's get rid of the rats scurrying around outside first." ”

He led the two out of the palace and joined the girls who were waiting outside.

Mia, for her part, had already caught a rat in the city and sent it to the red-haired Otto. The latter stared at the mouse for a moment, then said:

"It is indeed the ability of the 'Rat III', and he planted a brand in the body of this rat to ensure that the spirit can be transformed at any time."

"There should be thousands of such rats in the country." Asker said.

"Not bad." "But it's also a double-edged sword, he can use these imprints to move at will, and we can use it to lock the position of the opponent's body, and even reverse interference through the spirit connection, so that he can't switch for a while." ”

"Is it similar to the power of a seal?" Noe asked.

"Yes, Arnold." Red-haired Otto looked at her with a smile, "Your beauty is very similar to that of your great-grandmother, we once met more than seventy years ago. ”

"Thanks, thanks......" Nuo was a little speechless.

"So Ancestor, now are you going to take us to find each other's main body location?" Eleanor was very helpless about this ancestral demigod who didn't know how many years he had lived and was still sultry, and hurriedly asked eagerly.

"Hmm." The red-haired Otto said, "In the current state of the Demon Tide, I can only use the ability of no more than LV.10, and exceeding this level will hurt me, so I try not to make a move, and the specific tactical actions are up to you to execute." ”

"I'm only responsible for helping you find the other person's true nature and interfere with his ability to switch between rats. As long as you can kill him together, then the deal and reward that the current Duke negotiated with you will still be valid, how about it? ”

"Yes." Asker nodded.

"Okay." The red-haired Otto said approvingly, grabbed the squeaky mouse with his left hand, and stabbed his right hand into it like a knife.

Some strange red symbol gushed out along the skin on the back of his hand, quickly burrowing into the rat's body.

"In Bernried." He pulled his fingers out, and a flame rose from his skin, burning away the flesh on it, "Let's go." ”

A military car drove from the opposite side and quickly picked up the crowd and drove out of the city.

As she passed the village of Berg, Eleanor looked into the distance, where the flames had been extinguished, and all that remained was ruins and a cemetery.

"Your territory is the village of Berg, Captain Asker?" The red-haired Otto turned his head from the seat in front of him, "That place is so polluted by the plague, there may not be a new village in the future, and I will ask little Otto to change your fief in the future." ”

"No need." Asker smiled and shook his head, "There's no need to change places. ”

"Because I have a friend buried there."

"Aske......" No, biting his lower lip, immediately felt the urge to cry.

"Friend." Red-haired Otto sighed, "I don't have many friends anymore. ”

"After all, the longer you live, the less you see the emotions between people. When people come to the world alone, although they will make a lot of friends and even lovers, they will eventually return to loneliness. This is the fate of our transcendentals, you know, Asker? ”

"Hmm." Aske understood that the red-haired Otto was subtly reminding him not to indulge in the so-called affair between men and women.

After all, what really determines how long you can live is your own transcendent level. The rise and fall of the magic tide has its cycle, if your lover's level is lower than yours, then when the magic tide falls, she will never be able to rise again, and will eventually exhaust her lifespan before you.

Rather than reciting the pain of separation between life and death, it is better not to seek this short-term happiness in the first place.

Because of this notion, it is difficult for most transcendent beings to form long-term relationships with others. The lifespan of mortals is too fragile, and the life spans of their transcendent companions vary in rank and level, and they are destined to be unable to get together with others.

Choosing the extraordinary is the same as choosing loneliness.

However, Asker's fundamental purpose was not to become transcendent in the first place. He just wants to return to the original world, and to return, he must defeat the dragon copy on Mont Blanc, and he must first become a transcendent.

Of course, he couldn't explain to the red-haired Otto that "I didn't build this group to open a harem", otherwise the girls would be so embarrassed! Therefore, he could only keep his mouth shut.
