Part 1 The Promise Under the Stars 31 The Resurrection of the Undead

31 The resurrection of the dead

It took three days for Milo to let the cramping in his heart slowly disappear before he was able to get out of bed, walk, and exercise, and in three days, his mind did not struggle or struggle anymore, and he was probably relieved, at least he would not do stupid things again.

As stated in the dream, he has always missed Heidi, occasionally seeing her in his dreams, and always waking up to find that his cheeks are full of tears.

For three days, he was taken care of by the wind chimes, so he was able to know what else had happened during his coma.

"The Count died at noon the day before you woke up, he had woken up twice before, and I had been with him when I woke up, and he knew that the Praetorian Guard had been teleported somewhere else, so he could go steadily." Wind Chimes said to Milo slowly, "He is in no pain when he leaves, he is very peaceful, and you should not be too sad." I don't know if it's an illusion, but Milo found that the wind chimes showed an expression of envy and longing when he said this, but it was only for a short moment.

The day after Milo woke up, the Viscount came to visit him. Milo expressed his condolences to Count Lee and thanked him again for all he had done for him and Heidi. The Viscount also thanked Milo for his kindness to Windwalk and their father and son, and he tried his best to avoid talking about Heidi, but he was relieved to see that Milo had relieved himself of the burden in his heart.

"The one who brought you back...... The man whose name is Parrett Chevalier, that is his name," continued the wind chime, after the Viscount had left, "and he was relieved to see that you were only unconscious, and uninjured. Seeing that the Praetorian Guard was teleported away, he said goodbye to the viscount and returned to his own country, and before leaving, he came to ask me to take care of you. When Milo heard this, he was very grateful to Parrett, they had not known each other for a long time, but he deeply felt the sincerity and enthusiasm of the other party, although he seemed rough and bold, but his heart was very delicate.

"A lot of the residents in the town have also moved away, and about fifty or sixty people have left with their families and large bags. The viscount did not stop them, but gave them a lot of money and food...... There are such lords who are willing to leave, and these people are really blind. Wind Chimes said with a hint of mockery. But Melo understands these people, they just choose to run away, that's all.

As for the crisis in Windtown, only the Viscount, the Night Sparrows, and Milo knew that the Wind Chimes had solved it through a large-scale teleportation magic, and neither the militia nor the residents knew about it, and even if some people saw the Janissaries disappear with their own eyes, they still called it a miracle from above heaven in word of mouth. There are also many people who saw Milo once walking towards the camp of the Praetorian Guard, thinking that he was a hero in solving the crisis, and specially came to visit him in the fortress. Melo wanted to say that Wind Chimes was the real hero, but she stopped her.

"I still have some minor grudges with the Spreet Empire, don't let them think of me." Wind chimes explain.

The original "Ghost of Tum City" has regained its reputation and has become the current "Hero of Windwalk".

Now, Milo can finally move freely, and her body has a long-awaited sense of comfort. He walked out of the fortress and felt the biting cold, he was used to the winter in the town, but his body still needed to adapt to it after being reborn.

Nightfinch and Snow Dog were busy rebuilding the fortress and town, and they did not visit Milo during this time, but when they saw him walk out of the fortress, they also excitedly stepped forward to greet him. Snow Dog draped him over the saber-toothed tiger skin coat that belonged to Milo, and praised Milo's bravery with intricate gestures. Both of them already knew about Milo and Heidi, and like the Viscount, they kept silent, exchanged a few words, and went about their respective rebuilding work again.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the sky!" Melo lamented that even though it was only a few days, he thought the sky was so far away and strange...... Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked the wind chime beside him, "Wind chime, have you heard of the legend of 'Curse of the Stars'?" ”

After hearing this, Feng Chime put his finger on the side of his head and thought for a moment, and said, "I've heard of this name, but I really don't know the specific content." The last time I heard this word, it was a long, long time ago......"

Milo was slightly disappointed, not because the wind chimes didn't know anything, but because she was obviously hiding something...... But he quickly picked himself up. If the legend of "Curse of the Stars" is true and related to him, Milo can choose to wait for it to arrive at this time, because Milo is gradually mentally prepared to face this legend, and escape is no longer the initial option.

"How old are you? I always feel like you know the elders of our family. Milo half-jokingly said that he knew that it was rude to ask a woman's age, and that it was not easy for him to make a joke at this time.

Feng Chime looked at the sky for a moment, and said slowly: "I did know a Entkoman before, he was a brave and loyal man, who made great sacrifices and saved many people. ”

Milo's body trembled at the hearing of the word "loyalty", and he wanted to ask a question, but before he could speak, he heard something that made him incredulous:

"It's time for me to leave." Wind Chime looked into the distance and said expressionlessly.

"Back to the fortress? Or go to town? ”

"Get out of here, out of Windtown." Wind Chime's answer surprised Milo, "The difficulty has been solved, there is no need for me to stay here." ”

"And what if Windrun is in danger again?"

"Here's this—" Wind Chime pulled out a yellowish piece of parchment, which was blank, "This is magic letterhead, if there's any request, just write it on and I'll know." Remember, it's the same spell stone that called me before, you can only use it once, so choose the right time. Only then did Melo remember that the spell stone had fallen on the Ryx altar, perhaps long since it had been hidden by the snow.

"However, I'll be leaving Windrun too...... I don't even have a place in Spellet......" Milo wanted to retort, though it had nothing to do with the presence of the wind chimes.

"Then you can take it too, I have a hunch that you won't leave here easily. Some precious memories take time to settle down. Wind Chimes insisted on shoving the parchment into Milo's hand, and the latter had to accept it.

"Are you going back to the Snow Mountain to live in seclusion?" Milo knew she couldn't keep her.

"This time...... No......" Wind Chime hesitated rarely, "I want to find someone." ”

"Can I help?"

Wind Chime shook her head and sighed again, as if this was something she found difficult for even her. Soon, the wind chime smiled again, as if to cheer up Milo, and said goodbye: "I'm leaving, you have to take care." Maybe I'll come back sometime. ”

With that, she turned into a canary, flapped her wings a few times, flew around Melo three times, and then flew west. Melo stared at the bird until he could no longer see it, he still looked at the western horizon for a long time, and then slowly lowered his head, carefully folded the magic letterhead, and put it in his pocket. He glanced again near the western horizon to make sure there was no movement before returning to the fortress.

The Viscount and the Nightsparrow were shocked to learn that Wind Chimes had left Windflytown, and although it was expected that Wind Chimes would leave Windwalk, they were sorry not to say goodbye properly. Night Sparrow is especially reluctant to ask the wind chimes for more magical knowledge.

What kind of secret does Wind Chime, a man who is full of mysteries from his appearance to his departure, have?

"What about you? Milo, do you want to stay in Windwalk? The viscount asked with concern and expectation.

"I'll stay." Melo replied in the affirmative.

On December 16th, a month after the defense of Windwalk, the viscount who had been waiting for news became more and more anxious day by day, Windwalker made such a big move with the Praetorian Guard this time, it was impossible for the Empire not to act. He had heard the rumors that an internal affairs official from the capital was already on his way to Windwalk, and he didn't know what kind of instructions he would come to bring, and what his fate would be after Windwalk.

During this time, Melo helped with the reconstruction of the town, and under his leadership, the enthusiasm of the residents was unusually high. He was so influential that many of the people who fled the area soon returned when they heard that he was leading the rebuilding effort.

That afternoon, Nightfinch found Milo, who was busy: "The messenger of the Imperial Capital has arrived!" ”

Milo looked up from his busyness, he seemed calm and calm, and he didn't intend to shy away.

"This messenger is an old friend of yours!" Nightfinch said.

"Old friends? It's mine? Milo was puzzled, and he searched his memory for people who could be called old friends, and in a moment he remembered two people—one was his father, whom he did not want to see; One was the dark-skinned man with blue eyes, and he didn't have a face.

In the council chamber, Milo saw this "old friend", and he was a little crying and laughing, blaming himself for thinking too much.

This messenger was none other than the Marquis of Risson, who had turned the tide of the battle in the Djinn Crisis, and he had already been promoted to duke. From a personal point of view, Duke Risen can indeed be called Milo's "old friend", and the two have communicated many times in the Djinn Crisis to discuss strategies.

The Duke of Risen was discussing with the Viscount, and when he saw Milo coming in, he immediately straightened his face and greeted Milo solemnly:

"Long time no see, Captain Milo. No, you should be called -

"Traitor: Milo Entekoman."
