After Baldwin Sr.'s soul left, the body of the deceased burned and dissipated at a faster rate in the active solar psionic energy, and within a few minutes it turned into a cloud of smoke and dust that was collected by General Baldwin with his broken marching cloak.

He handed the ashes to the guard beside him, the Undead Sword Saint Lady Irina, who had been following Baldwin Sr. all this time.

After Baldwin Sr. left, the lady wanted to follow her superiors with a resting death, but her sister grabbed her wrist and forbade her to leave without saying goodbye a second time.

This embarrassed Irina.

However, the second death of Baldwin Sr. stems from the fact that he has fulfilled his obsession, and Lady Irina's undead body is still stable and shows no signs of dissipating, which means that her second life is far from over.

In the words of the little mummy, if the dead want to rest in peace, they must first find the duties that they need to perform after their resurrection.

General Baldwin was willing to re-admit Lady Irina, who had proven her loyalty, to join the Winter Wolf Legion, but now was not the time to say this, the general wiped his eyes and tidied up his military appearance, and then picked up the wolf blood holy sword that was only half cut off.

He strode up to Lao Qin, raised the broken blade with both hands and handed it to him.

The general said:

"This is my grandfather's last wish, and he wants this sword to be gifted to his otherworldly friends to receive it, Lieutenant Colonel Qin."

"But this is your Nordutov's national treasure."

Lao Qin was willing to accept it in his heart, but he hesitated a little and said to General Baldwin:

"The legend of the Wolf Blood Holy Sword has spread all over your realm, and now that you have finally taken it back and have to give it away, will it cause trouble for you and your family? As a friend of Lao Bao, I probably can't be so selfish. ”

"The fact that the god of the north wind destroyed it with his own hands in the presence of countless warriors proves that this sword is no longer Nordtov's national treasure, it has fulfilled its historical mission, not to mention, it has been completely destroyed and has lost all magical powers.

Today, it is just a remnant blade carrying legends and a heavy past. ”

General Baldwin explained:

"For the Nords, seeing the gods walk their kingdom is better than all treasures, and your sacrifices and assistance in the war against the wolf gods are kindness that must be remembered by us, and giving them to you is a sign of our sincerity.

I don't think Her Majesty Angelina will punish me for my choice at this time. ”

"Alright then, you're welcome."

Under the excited gaze of the surrounding players, Lao Qin reached out and took the broken holy sword.

It is really broken, after all, it was destroyed by Su himself, so that all the magic inside has dissipated, even if it is reforged, it is difficult to restore it to its former edge, but the excellent material and background color of this thing are still there, and finding a blacksmith with good skills to repair it can definitely become a famous weapon in the mainland.

Just as Lao Qin was about to open the item identification to take a look at the remnant blade attribute, a task was quietly triggered in his adventure assistant:

【Ding! Obtain the key mission item "Damaged Sacred Sword", and the epic quest chain "Recover Wolf Blood" enters the final stage!

Description: After an unexpected battle, you have finally helped Baldwin Sr. wash away his shame, and although the ending was not happy, you still recovered the legendary Wolf Blood Blade, which endured too much intrigue and malice, and was destroyed by the blow of its owner after witnessing the fall of a god, however, this is not the ultimate fate of this sword.

It can also take on a more important mission in the following wars.

The myths of the past have come to an end, and perhaps you can write a new legend for it?

Mission Requirements:

Visit Su, the god of the north wind, with your ruined sword, and try to find the right way to reforge the blade from the latter.

Prompt!

This quest is optional, and players can also rely on themselves to complete the reforge of the damaged holy sword without Sue's prompts, but this choice will most likely cause a serious decline in the quality of the weapon, so please choose carefully.

Mission countdown: seven days

Reward: Reforged Wolf Blood Blade of unknown quality. 】

Lao Qin blinked, and then shared this task with his companions, so that a group of players wanted to go to Lao Sutou to fight the autumn wind now, but unfortunately the god of the north wind would be very tired.

They had to wait until Old Su Tou recovered a little before asking.

But since this quest can be triggered, it means that Murphy, who has followed Trith into Cadman City, is actually paying attention to the situation here, and in the high altitude that players can't see, the Vulture Revenor is faithfully fulfilling his duty as the "Eye of Murphy".

This blood-eating vulture had really gone crazy in the previous battle, and its claws would have been stained blood-red.

As a companion creature that regularly inherits one-third of Murphy's total attributes, Refno's strength has made a new breakthrough after Murphy's promotion, and in the previous battle, the eyeballs of those astral wolves alone were gouged out I don't know how many pairs.

However, it will be watching the silly George take trembling steps to the old Su Tou to receive the "hadith", this lucky dog thing is probably going to pick up a big leak this time.

This made Refno quite unhappy.

Why is there not a single god represented by a flying eagle among the many new gods? When will you play a god and let yourself pick up a leak?

Murphy didn't have time to pay attention to what was going on in his blood-eating vulture's little brain, his attention was on the vampire elder in front of him, who was welcoming Grand Duke Triss to Cadman City to inspect and guide the work.

Although the other party was quite respectful, I don't know if it was an illusion, Murphy could always taste a hint of awkwardness from this guy, and from Tracey's frowning brow, it could be judged that Tracey should feel the same way.

"I'm a little tired after a big fight."

Faced with the vampire elder's offer to lead the Grand Duke and Count around the city as a guide, Tris shook her head and said:

"Let's prepare a room for me to rest and get through this difficult morning."

"Oh, it should, it should."

The vampire elder was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Today's sunshine is extremely vicious, I was negligent, Your Excellency, please come with me, I have prepared two common rooms for the two of you in the Vulture Tower."

"Why two?"

Tracy shook her head, grabbed Murphy's arm affectionately as the elder stared at him dumbfounded, and said:

"One is enough."

What's that?

What the hell!

The vampire elder's forehead suddenly wrinkled into a Sichuan shape.

According to the information he just received, isn't this Lord Murphy the heir of Grand Duke Trissy? That's why you're in the New Blood Vulture Clan, right? My dignified Blood Vulture Clan has been pure for thousands of years, why did you two demons come out!!

Well, the Vampire Elder is clearly a "traditionalist".

He has quite opinions and opinions about Tracy and Murphy's behavior of messing with men and women, but when Triss looked at her with cold eyes, the elder who had experienced the heyday of the Scarlet Witch bent down respectfully and said:

"Come with me, then, you two."

They were quickly sent into the specially packed room in the Vulture Tower, and the moment Murphy closed the door, he heard Triss say:

"Something is wrong here!"

"Of course something is wrong, especially with these vampires."

Murphy locked the door and said:

"I used to think that the incongruity in them was due to the physiological modification of them by the astral forces, but now that I got closer to them, I realized that things were not so simple. The other vampires are fine, this elder gives me a feeling of something special.

I can't say what the problem is, but he's just weird.

Doesn't look like a serious vampire, you say?

Well?

What are you doing? ”

He turned around and saw that Tracey had taken off her coat and threw it aside, which made Murphy raise an eyebrow, no, Tracey still has that "desire valve" around her neck, and now she should be in a conservative witch state.

"My mind is a little messy, and my heart is very annoying."

Tris rubbed her forehead and said with a hint of irritability that she couldn't hide:

"I can hear those voices again after entering the city, but this time it's a little different from the manic and crazy sounds I've heard before, and I think I know where these vampires are changing."

"Then we should leave now."

Murphy said solemnly:

"I don't want to risk this kind of thing, we can go back to the swamp and wait for you to feel better before visiting the secrets here, or you can go back first, I can be here alone."

"I said, Murphy, this time it's a different sound! It's important that I figure out what's different. What's more, my little Murphy became the victor, and the goddess of victory always rewarded the warrior for his feat. ”

Tracy stepped up to her little Murphy, opened her arms to Murphy, and said:

"Here, help me."

"It always feels weird."

Murphy spat out a groove and grabbed the small box pendant around Trace's neck and removed it.

As soon as the "limiter" was removed, Trissy's eyes immediately turned red, and she pounced on him with a snort and threw him down on the luxurious carpet, like a hungry tigress.

Well, now even Murphy sensed that things were really not so right.

But.

That's not bad either, right?

The winner always needs to be rewarded with some status.

——

At the same time that the Goddess of Victory was harshly rewarding the warrior who pulled the corner of her skirt, in an alley in the lower part of Cadman, the old Norman, who had just finished his patrol, was a little tired, and he disbanded the militia that followed him and stepped into his own residence in the city for this time.

It's not a good place to live, but it's actually an uninhabited shop, the owner of which is long gone, and its proximity to Fink Street makes it easier to monitor the movements of the cultists, so old Norman has also set up a bunch for himself here.

He was alone in the garrison, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he realized that something was wrong, and there were other people in the room.

"Huh"

The hunter's sword was unsheathed in his hand, and in his other hand he had pinched a natural seed, ready to summon the bloodthirsty tree man to help him fight, but the moment he kicked the door open, he was greeted by two "old acquaintances".

Potter and Ambo!

Looking at their dusty appearance, they must have rushed here from the filthy swamp after learning the news of Cadman City's return to the material world, and it should have been a happy thing for old friends to meet after the catastrophe, but Norman was a little embarrassed to face Old Potter who stood up and Amber who had red eyes.

This embarrassment is manifold.

The most important thing is that he has set a death flag in front of his old friend, but not only did he not die, but he became a hero of Cadman City by mistake.

After all, when I parted at that time, I said so hard, and I deceived a lot of tears, and it would be a little rude not to die now.

Just when old Norman was entangled in his toes to the ground, old Potter didn't have so many ideas, he strode forward and laughed and gave Norman a bear hug with his mechanical hand, he said:

"I knew it! The god of Avalon will not allow a bastard like you to die in the astral plane so quietly, your mission is not over, Norman, we have done a lot of wrong things in the past, and we are destined to continue to live and suffer, you know, so a generous end does not belong to us. ”

"I was really determined to die, and I stepped into the kingdom of God with half a foot, but Avalon didn't want me."

Norman said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm sorry, Potter, and Amber for worrying you."

"It's not us who you should apologize to, Norman."

Amber wiped her eyes and stepped forward, and gave Norman a hug, and she said with a hint of reproach:

"You should apologize to Natalie, after she learned of your death, these days fighting like crazy, she seems to feel that your death is her fault, but we all know that it is no one's fault.

And Dr. Raven

Niu Niu told me that after learning of your death, Dr. Raven was so disappointed that he didn't even go online for a day, and he felt that he couldn't cure you. ”

"No, he's cured, better than he thought."

Norman smiled, put down his huntsman's sword, and sat down at the table with his companions, and said:

"The moment I jumped into the astral plane, the moment I faced death, I finally understood what he had been telling me that I should reconcile with myself, and I completed a real goodbye with my daughter and my family, knowing that they had forgiven me and allowed me to finally abandon the cowardice in my heart and make up my mind to return to earth.

Potter was right.

For those of us with complicated pasts, a merciful and happy atonement does not belong to us, and it does not change anything that has already happened, and the only thing we can do is to help those like us in the rest of our lives.

Ah, it's a great feeling to finally let go of the past, and I finally know what I should do in the future. ”

"Ha, if you want to open it, nay, your sword."

Potter took out the scabbard "Scarlet Lady" from the psionic bag, handed it to Norman, and said:

"You owe Archon Miriam a response, and while we don't know if the strong lady wept when she heard of your death, there is no doubt that she is a good person who truly cares about you, and you should apologize to her personally."

"I will! I will. ”

Norman put the sword away and put it on the clasp of the weapon at his waist, and he looked out the window into the shadows, and turned back to the two old friends:

"I have decided that I will live in this city for the rest of my life, and I have found here for my God my fellow citizens who have remained faithful in the midst of the calamity, and I will continue to protect and guide them as I have done for the past few days.

The situation in Cadman City is complicated, and ordinary priests are not suitable to come here, but I have also been changed by the astral plane, and this may be the mission given to me by my god. ”

"Ha, when Natalie comes over, you're going to have to apply to her in person."

Potter shrugged his shoulders and said:

"But no matter what you decide, we'll support you, brother, but don't say anything so scary next time you die, okay? Amber and I were really freaked out by you. ”

"Potter, I'm really embarrassed, so please don't talk about it, okay?"
