"I'm looking for an answer, my Sophia, why did she die, but I won't have an answer."

The old man sitting in front of Marin sighed, in Marin's opinion, the old man had completely lost his confidence, he was sadly coming to an end, Marin didn't know whether to tell him the truth about the girl - she, like Colin, was just the test subject of the place.

She is an adopted daughter, a child who was picked up, and her father has a relationship with the founder, which is what makes the Michelle family brilliant.

In the end, they chose to completely throw themselves into the Forge, which was not considered a betrayal in Marin's eyes, but the other families were surprised by the change of the Michel family, and they instinctively sensed the danger, thinking that the Michel family had thrown themselves into the arms of chaos, and finally chose to be bloodbathed.

Speaking of which, Sophia is a very good girl, but unfortunately, she still can't escape the fate of the test subject after all.

She died, the cause of death is very strange to outsiders, a teenage girl, it is impossible to die suddenly, Marin's stepfather is looking for the murderer who killed her, but he didn't expect that he couldn't find the murderer at all.

He was even absorbed by the forgers and became their assistant in collecting materials.

He still doesn't understand that he's been working with the real killer and what he's done...... It's just creating more suffering for the forgers.

So Marin finally failed to tell the truth, and understood why the elder Hoffman sighed when he mentioned his adoptive father—he should have understood something, knowing that it was impossible for Gayat to find the truth.

Considering his father's poor state, Marin specially entertained him with breakfast made with powder from the World Tree acorns, and stopped him from wanting to leave.

"Father, don't go, stay at Fort Carter."

"Silly boy, stay here and let you end me in the end."

The old man looked at Marin and shook his head: "It's too cruel, whether it's for you, or for me, my child, I picked you up because I wanted Maya to have a companion, she is already with you now, let me go, don't make Maya sad." ”

"Father, where can you go, you said that your transcendent sequence is disintegrating, the sequence called truth...... Can you strip it off, maybe strip it off, and you'll be able to live for a long time. Marin looked at the man in front of him and said—he really wanted to save this man, just like Marin when he reached out and picked up Marin from the corner of the street that year, when he was a child.

A drink and a peck, this is fate, if you can't save this father, then how can Marin be able to accept Maya.

"This is impossible, child, the sequence of truth can indeed be stripped away, but it is a sequence of uniqueness, if you can't choose a new master for it immediately, then it will soon disappear, and then choose a new master on your own, we are the owners of the truth, in fact, it is also the cage of truth."

The old man then fully explained to Marin the peculiarities of the Sequence of Truths—the owner of which the Extraordinary Sequence is called a special transcendent sequence, but is more like a cage in which it is imprisoned.

The owner of the Sequence of Truth will lose all additional lifespans, leaving only the life cycle that his own race can have, three hundred years in the case of elves, and only a hundred years or less in the case of humans. It is true that the purification of the bloodline can bring additional life, but there is another peculiarity of the Truth Sequence, that is, when you have this sequence, you must choose for yourself the truth of the event that needs to be chased.

Marin's father did not hesitate to choose to pursue the murderer of Sophia.

But he was destined not to find the murderer, because Sophia died at the end of her service life.

Although it is not good to say this, this is the reality, no one poisoned her, and no one cursed her.

Therefore, when the owner of the truth sequence is unable to complete the pursuit of truth and truth, then the sequence no longer strengthens its master, but begins to eat the owner's body.

That's why this man is only in his sixties, but he is as old as Hoffmann.

"My child, I can't hurt any of you, Maya has become a legend, she can live for a long time, so long that you can't accompany him through this life if you don't promote to legend, so, I don't agree to your request, my idea is like let me go, I will pick an apprentice and pass on my witcher sequence and truth sequence together."

What stubbornness this man is, Marin finally saw it today, he didn't want to pass on the truth to Marin anyway, and even forced him to die, Marin finally had no choice but to agree, but on the condition that his father could not leave Fort Carter.

He will choose a child from among the apprentices at the orphanage to pass on.

"Since you want to pass on your sequence, you must do all this at Fort Carter, we can't let you leave here and go into the wilderness, if you die outside, or if you become a xenomorph, then in the end, I must purify you with my own hands."

In the face of Marin's insistence, the old man also took a step back.

After completing the negotiation, Marin took the old man to the Church of Mercy for a check-up, and the priests said that Marin's father was in good health, although he was very old, but the experience of being promoted to the Silver People in his early years made him in very good physical condition, and he would not be able to die for a while.

And they also confirmed that Marlin fed the old man the fruit powder of the World Tree, although the old father did not agree with Marin so wasteful, but after Marin took out a box of fruits in one go, he still acquiesced to Marin's 'waste'.

But the father decided to go back to his small house to live, he said that he was not used to living in a big house, Marin had no choice but to contact the old lady's granddaughter-in-law, the old lady Malmore Kachev died last year, she gave the original 418 Karfa Avenue to her grandson's family to use, Marin re-rented the second floor, Poblan knew that it was Marin who wanted to rent, very readily agreed.

Marin gave him two potions, as well as a newly mass-produced semi-automatic rifle.

Poblin was very happy, and Marin was very satisfied, all for the sake of the old father.

And he was very happy when he looked at the second floor, which had barely changed.

"It's like a home." Standing in the living room, the old man smiled like a child.

He sat on the sofa and looked at Marin and Maya: "In the blink of an eye, my daughter and son have grown up and can already change on their own, which is great." ”

"Father." Maya sat down beside her: "Marin and I are busy sometimes, but when I have time, I will come to see you. ”

"It's okay, young people have something to do, it's normal, don't waste time on me, an old man, and live well."

With that, the old man began to catch up with Marin and Maya.

He was kicked out of the small building, and Marin and Maya stood in the doorway.

"Marin, do you remember, that year, when we first went shopping."

"Remember, we're standing here like this, I don't know where we're going, the way you're leading."

"Hmm...... Marin, let's go. Maya smiled and stretched out her hand, waiting for Marin.

Marin nodded, placing his hand in her palm.
