In the years that followed, Lorraine became like an open-hearted elder, telling the two about their father's heroic story.

The father, Frey Hanowid, was once the undisputed hero of the Empire, and the Emperor bestowed upon him the title of "Sword of Glory", which means an incomparable imperial favor.

But with Frey's death in a ridiculous war and his body being taken over by the Demon Lord, the Empire sees him as a disgrace and a degenerate, destroying all records of honor for "Frey Hanoveld".

History may remember the glory of the heroes, but the Empire and the Church of the Gods will only remember the shame and depravity.

But Lorraine would not tell the truth of the matter, which would only spoil the current harmony, and Ulliel and Freya were skillfully manipulated by him.

At this time, the image of "Frey" in their hearts became more and more full.

Lorraine tried his best to describe a tall, majestic hero, a Thorn Knight who was only one foot away from a fifth-order legend.

Perhaps the real Sir Harnowid did not look like this in the past, but Lorraine cleverly added the subjective descriptions that many of the siblings wanted to hear, expressing her admiration and respect for their father in coldness and restraint.

Lorraine is not worried that the siblings will turn against her when they learn the truth.

Because now his character is "a mysterious person who does not know the full picture of the incident, is full of resentment towards the empire, and is cold but cares for the old teacher".

Coupled with the fact that the records of Sir Harnoveld had been almost completely destroyed, Lorraine would not have made any mistakes in his fabrication as long as he did not say it too much.

Unless the Abyssal Demon goes down and tells the true story to the child born to him and a mortal woman, and uncovers Lorraine's true identity.

In addition to this, it is also necessary to ensure that the siblings do not go crazy on the spot by looking at it directly.

Otherwise, Ulliel and Freya will probably remain in the dark until they die, or learn the truth.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go."

When the bell, which symbolized twelve o'clock in the night, struck her, Lorraine slowly got up.

"But, if it's so late......" Freya, who hadn't yet reacted, was a little dazed, "where are you going?" Lorraine. ”

"It is my duty to save the descendants of one of your father's comrades," Lorraine said calmly, "my duty. The descendants here actually refer to "Kagome".

What he said tonight was almost entirely mixed.

"I visited you this time because I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it...... Although I have a lot of regrets, I am still very happy to meet you. ”

"So, I'll ...... first"

"Please, please wait!"

Lorraine was about to say goodbye when Freya stopped him and pulled a wooden crate from under the bed.

"It's a relic of my mother...... Freya bit her lower lip and stared at Lorraine earnestly.

She said it was something her father had left behind...... He also said, 'It is destined that the right person will come and take it.'" I didn't understand it before, but I was thinking about it just now...... That person must be you, right? ”

"I'm not the right person, we haven't seen each other a lot. And I'm afraid it's a very expensive gift," Lorraine pondered, "what do you want?" ”

Lorraine didn't rush to open the box, but looked at Ulliel and Freya.

He should do something for the siblings.

As I told them just now, these two children deserve a better "life".

Here, after all, it is a slum.

As hybrids of the abyss, they possess corrupt spirits that can be activated at any time.

If not handled properly, Freya and Ulliel will sooner or later turn into monsters.

The slums of St. Louis have had the awakening of the Abyssal Heir, most likely because of the death of her brother, which caused Freya to lose her mind in despair.

Lorraine thinks that since she has given them new hope, they have given such a big gift...... It's hard for him to selfishly swallow it all.

Offering the help he can is what he should do.

The death of one of the siblings is likely to cause the other to be desperate, painful, and extreme.

Even if Lorraine had saved them and taken them out of St. Louis to start a new life, the city would still have been reduced to the brink of ruins by the birth of the Queen of Destruction.

The southwestern provinces fell into flames one after another, until the Queen of Pain was killed on the banks of the Emerald River.

But then the "Night of a Thousand Deaths" came, and the gods fell from the sky, starting a chaotic era of strife.

And all this is just a prelude to the destruction of Ashur's world.

Lorraine couldn't have sheltered the siblings all the time.

So he knew he had to do something, like a butterfly that could set off a storm.

He came to this world to change those tragedies and redeem those regrets.

St. Louis, Queen of Destruction, Sandrine Nightwind......

In just a few seconds, a tidal wave of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lorraine sighed in his heart.

The city could be rescued.

Although this "maybe" is very subtle.

However, he can magnify it infinitely.

"There is only one request...... Lord Lorraine,"

After a few seconds of Lorraine's brainstorming, Freya uttered the hidden request, her tone cautious and seemingly deliberate.

"I want to get Yuri out of the slums...... I can also look at it with peace of mind. Freya said, "Whatever it takes, you can pay it." ”

"I can feel that the better life you are talking about is actually very difficult to achieve...... But I beg you, if there is hope, sacrifice me too. I just hope that Yuri can get out of this slum and become a healthy, upright child......"

"Sister!"

"Yes." Lorraine stared at Freya with a gentle gaze, "Who do you want to die?" ”

The girl's eyes are like still water in a lake, indigo and pure, containing condensed and indissipated strength.

If you want to get out of the blood pit of the slums, you must cut the chains that bind freedom.

It is worth naturally being the leader of the thieves, as well as the "big guys" who "care" about the siblings.

In a low voice, Freya uttered a few names.

Kahn, Joseph, Anthony......

Killing these people, killing these thugs who oppressed their siblings—the kind of thing she had never dared to think about before.

But as Yuri's health gets worse and worse, Lorraine's appearance is more like a light that smashes through the darkness...... Even if it's just a glimmer of hope?

She chose to believe in Lorraine.

Lorraine is likely to be a Knight of Thorns as well, but when a Knight renounces his allegiance to a monarch, the oath they renounce will cost them a lot of power.

However, even so, he may have second-order strength.

Second...... It is clear that most of the occupations in the slums can be crushed.

Freya had already made up her mind that if Lorraine failed, the siblings would die.

Ulliel is very sick, and she actually doesn't want to be abused, and if Lorraine misses, they are likely to be retaliated against.

Too late to escape St. Louis.

Freya clenched the purse in her hand, her eyes reddened.

It's better to be like my father, with the last nobility and honor, and leave this world of bastards who deserves to be cursed......

She may not realize that her heart has new hopes for "death" and "the future."

Facing such Freya, Lorraine nodded.

This means that he agreed to the deal.

"I'll help you kill those scum, and I'll keep you safe for a while......," he paused, "and as long as I'm alive, I'll not break my promise today." ”

"Plus, I'm not the right person."

Lorraine thought for a moment and added.

"Yes, it's you, I want you to take it...... My mother is a witch, so I inherited her abilities as well! ”

Hearing this, Ulliel was shocked, and in his incredulous gaze, his sister grabbed Lorraine's hand and said earnestly:

"I saw a man coming to our house, and I could vaguely hear him talk about my father's past...... Mr. Lorraine, that person, is undoubtedly you. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Judging from the future direction of the story, that mysterious man is probably the embodiment of the Abyss Demon.

This has been speculated on the forum, because if the mad mortal species is not spawned by the magic of the outside world, it should not be deformed into a real abyss monster, and then cause so many casualties.

It's just that what Lorraine didn't expect at all was that Freya actually inherited the blood of a witch, but she didn't seem to have fully awakened...... Did she foresee Ulliel's death in the future?

Despair, pain, reluctance...... Have these emotions been haunting her lately?

There is no doubt that if Ulliel dies, she will definitely have a nervous breakdown, and this is the perfect time to go crazy out of control.

Now it seems that everything she has done is trying to change her brother's ultimate fate.

Perhaps Freya didn't know that she was actually trying to save herself

Lorraine took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel heartfelt admiration for Freya's willpower.

In the complicated sight of the two siblings, he opened the wooden box that had been dusty for many years.

A dull leather hooded coat is stacked in a wooden box, on which are medals, a scimitar, and a crow mask.

Lorraine's eyes froze.

The set, titled "Blind Justice", is missing a pendant.

Normally, the set would have been scattered around the world with the destruction of St. Louis, and in some cases would have disappeared forever.

But now, when it appeared in front of Lorraine, a pendant was missing.

Lorraine didn't rush to put on the suit, but looked at Ulliel and Freya.

"There's one pendant missing," Freya told Lorraine, "and it'...... I mortgaged it to Joshua, Karn's boss in the Greyfangs, Joshua. ”

Lorraine nodded, this person happened to be on Freya's list for herself.

"You should know that what I'm going to do next is dead or dead."

"I didn't believe in fate before, but now I have to...... Thank you, Freya, it might save my life. ”

Freya's nervous expression turned into a forced smile, and she sat up from the bed, motioning for Ulliel to join her in putting on a leather coat for the "hero".

"Please be careful...... Lord Lorraine, please don't be afraid to be alone. ”

As she was about to leave, the blonde girl grabbed the black hero's wrist.

"May the fire always warm your heart."

Her tone was soft.

Like a candle flame in the dark.

Tiny, but with a soft yellow glow.
