Eight pieces!?When Fidel heard Russell's words, he couldn't believe it. If one life weapon can easily turn any battle around, then eight life weapons will plunge the world into endless chaos.

"Only Russell Senior, you can awaken the power of one of these weapons, no wonder the people of the entire continent are looking for you. Fed's heart was already a little flustered, if what Russell said was true, then the middle-aged man in front of him would definitely have a pivotal position in the world pattern, and there were so many weapons of life, the arrival of the era of peace would only be a luxury.

Russell suddenly took off his serious expression and laughed, "I thought your face was like wood, but I didn't expect to have a surprised expression, it's really funny!" He threw the moon shield in his hand and threw it back on the bed, as if to tell Fede that what he just said was a story he had just made.

Fidel sat upright and didn't respond to the other person's jokes.

"Actually, when I first heard that Siwell had made eight life weapons, my expression was even more exaggerated than yours, but this should be the truth," Russell said with his hands on his thighs, "and the reason why the Duke of Pobo owned one of the life weapons was because he had provided a lot of money for Siwell to forge those weapons, and Siwell gave him one." If Josephine hadn't lied to me, Duke Pobo's weapon of life would have been a short crossbow. ”

Fed: "Isn't Josephine your wife? How did she know that?"

"You can't guess, can you? Josephine is Sivel's daughter, and the moon shield she got in Honor City is indeed a real life weapon. ”

"And where is she now?"

The relaxed expression on Russell's face disappeared, he walked to the bedside, picked up the moon shield again, and said, "She used to be here, but now she doesn't exist in this world." He looked at the moon shield with eyes like looking at the person he was most worried about, infinitely affectionate.

Fed sat there and began to listen to the other party tell the secret of the moon shield.

Before Josephine appeared, Russell was a mercenary squadron leader who could only kill enemies on the battlefield. However, when he saw Josephine for the first time, he was attracted to this plain and elegant woman.

At first, Russell didn't care about the so-called life weapon in Josephine's hand, after all, everyone else thought it was just a tool used to deceive the Senate. It's just that during that time, Russell even forgot about the mission of the mercenary and was completely fascinated by Josephine. Despite the advice of Alain and Bisluves, Russell threw his new head of the regiment away from his responsibilities and pursued Josephine.

Russell cared more about the four-year-old boy who followed Josephine than she called a "liar." Josephine's hair is not blonde, but she insists that André is her child, and if Russell does not accept André, then she will not consider Russell.

In order to make Josephine pay attention to him, he changed the name of the mercenary group to the Moon Shield mercenary group, and changed his dislike for children, and took great care of the little boy Andre with golden hair. He arranged for him to have a school in the City of Honor, and personally arranged a place for Josephine and his mother and son to live and provide all the necessities.

Originally, Josephine wanted to get a seat in the Senate, but everyone in the Senate thought she was a liar. There were some wealthy merchants who planned to pay a high price for the Moon Shield, the life weapon that Josephine claimed, but they were all refused.

Russell didn't tell Feld how he ended up chasing Josephine, but when he told about it, the former head of the regiment always had a smile on his lips and didn't seem to be a made-up story.

The rest of the story is much the same as Alain's version. Russell and Josephine were indeed together, and that Josephine's son Andre was also treated by Russell as if he were his own son. And Russell also told Josephine that he didn't need children, and he was willing to educate and protect André wholeheartedly so that he could grow up healthy.

Josephine was moved by Russell's sincerity, and the relationship between the two grew better. With Russell's marriage, the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment also went through the difficult period of the first few years and began to become famous in the Republic of Marvil. A few years of life also made Josephine no longer plan to exchange the moon shield for the status of the Senate, or she just wanted to live with Russell for the rest of her life.

But things don't always go your way.

That day, Josephine held the moon shield, the weapon of life she said, and sat in the corner of the back garden to watch Andre and Captain Bisluvis practicing swords. At this time, Russell walked from behind Josephine and planned to give her a hug from behind, but she didn't expect Josephine to turn around alertly and block her chest with a moon shield.

Russell hugged Josephine, but they touched the shield at the same time. At this moment, Russell actually felt that his consciousness had shifted to Josephine's body, and he could clearly feel everything about the other party, but his own perception began to become weak and blurred. Of course, Josephine, who was being held, also felt the same feeling, she also felt Russell's body and consciousness, and even some Russell put it in her heart, and what she had been trying to say to Josephine was also discovered by her, as if she had dug out the other party's heart and seen through everything.

This strange feeling surprised both of them, and Josephine immediately pushed Russell away and returned to his room with the shield.

Later, Josephine confessed to Russell that she was actually the daughter of the master blacksmith Sivel, and that this moon shield was given to him by her father. It's just that she and her father have lost contact, and originally wanted to borrow life weapons in exchange for status, and then borrow the power of the republic to find her father, but unfortunately the other party didn't sell it.

Russell also immediately asked about the secret of the weapon of life, but even Josephine only knew that his father had mentioned the "Howler", not the "Resonator" circulated on the mainland. Her father, Sivel, was reluctant to tell his daughter the secret of the weapon of life, perhaps because of another matter, but Josephine had been reluctant to tell Russell, and Russell was inconvenient to ask about it.

"So you and Josephine are resonators?" said Fed, who had been quietly listening to Russell's story of the past, and only now did he ask the question.

Russell nodded and said, "It should be like that, that's right, after that serendipitous contact, we tried a few times when the two of us touched the shield at the same time, and we were indeed able to have a clear sense of perception, which also gave the two of us the idea of awakening the life weapon." ”

Russell goes on to tell about the past.

Josephine didn't know what the shield her father had given her was for, only that it was a legendary weapon of life. But she was a weak woman with a small child by her side, and even if she had a legendary weapon, it didn't mean anything.

After Russell realized that the weapon of life did indeed have mysterious powers, he began to try to do some experiments with the shield. But the iron-trimmed wooden shield only has a perceptual experience except when he and Josephine touch it at the same time, even if Andre and his mother touch the moon shield at the same time, nothing happens, and the rest of the time it is just a piece of wood. For a long time, Russell was also in distress, after all, the strength of his mercenary group was limited, and if he wanted to climb to a higher position, the life weapon was definitely the best ladder. But Josephine always comforted him that although his current life was dull, he was finally happy, and he didn't have to mind too much.

Until the appearance of the priest of that pillar broke the ordinary life.

At that time, it was about six years ago, and the leader of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment, Priest Pillar, had lost both arms, but his eyes had not yet been sewn with iron wire.

The Pillar Priest asks a friend of Russell to invite Russell, saying that he wants to meet with him, because he wants to see the rumored Life Weapon Moon Shield. Russell didn't think much of it at the time, because this friend had known each other for many years, so he went to the appointment with that shield.

When the pillar priest who had lost his arms saw the shield, he began to rub his face against the shield like a cat rubbing its own paws. Although Russell felt a little weird, he also knew the prestige of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Group in the mainland, so he didn't complain about anything.

Later, when the Pillar Priest left, he left Russell alone. He said that the shield was indeed a weapon of life, but it had not yet been awakened. The Pillar Priest asks if Russell has "resonance" with someone close to him, and Russell knows what the Pillar Priest means by resonance, and he just pretends to say no.

The Pillar Priest told Russell that only the "resonators" who resonated with him could awaken the Life Weapon, and if the Moon Shield was awakened, he hoped that Russell would be able to take the Moon Shield mercenary group to join the Mercenary Guild and create a career together. Eventually, the Pillar Priest told Russell how to awaken the shield, and Russell was shocked when he heard it.

When Russell returned home, he told Josephine what had happened, but kept the method of awakening that the Pillar Priest had said. Josephine resents the Mercenary Guild people, saying that she can sense the greed in their hearts and absolutely disapproves of Russell joining them. Russell also had no choice but to obey his wife's wishes and alienate his old friend and the Pillar Priest, but the method that the Pillar Priest said made Russell always care about it.

Realizing that the former head of the regiment was about to get to the most important point, Feder stood up and inspected the surroundings of the hut before letting Russell continue.

Russell sighed, "The thing I'm most sorry for Andre is to take the words of the Pillar Priest to heart, even if I do anything in this life, I can't make up for my Andrei's guilt." ”

"You killed your wife, Josephine, and sacrificed her to the moon shield?" Fielder asked.

"The method that the Pillar Priest said was indeed for me to kill my resonator, Josephine, and then soak the weapon with her blood, so that the weapon of life would be awakened, and Josephine would be reborn in the weapon. ”

"It's just that consciousness is reborn in weapons, right?"

"Yes, and the consciousness remembers everything in life. ”

"So you secretly killed your wife. Feder saw the sadness in Russell's eyes, but according to the current reasoning, this is the truth.

Russell looked at Andre in a wheelchair, not only in his eyes and heart, but also in every drop of blood on his body, full of remorse.

"No, it was Josephine who discovered my inner struggle and distress in a chance perceptual touch, and then she committed suicide with the moon shield in her arms. ”
