Sword of Daybreaker

Yes, how many twists and turns will happen in the middle of this, so that a former empire duke, a blessed God of War knight, and a wolf general with superior combat effectiveness will eventually become a man who is obsessed with research in the laboratory. Scholar"? Moreover, this scholar can give his daughter a whole day's math papers at a rate of 30 questions per hour-the nickname is "mental entertainment"...

  Andesa suddenly felt cold on her body, and she shivered twice subconsciously, before she began to consider what kind of sentences should be used to tell her grandfather what happened to her father as concisely as possible.

"This matter... should have been talked about from the blizzard in Winter Wolfsburg in the year when my father disappeared." In the end, the young Wolf general slowly opened his mouth to break the silence. "Father did not fall into Anzu that year. Surrounded by people, they encountered the Cultists who are moving at the foot of the Dark Mountains..."

The warm wind blows from the plain, turning over the luxuriant flower fields and woods in the Changzhi Manor. The pool in front of the main house is shimmering, and the blades of grass and petals blowing from nowhere fall on the water and spin. Swinging a circle of subtle ripples, the maid in the manor bent down and reached out to pick up a beautiful petal floating by the pool, but the petal suddenly trembled and curled, as if being burned by invisible power, wrinkled into a ball quickly Drifted in another direction.

  The maid raised her head in surprise and nervousness, subconsciously glanced at the direction of the main house, but found nothing.

The sound of insects passed through the open window, and the heat of early summer noon had gradually passed in. Pei Dinan reduced the power that accidentally escaped. He quietly listened to Andesa’s narration, and his brows sometimes wrinkled and calmed. After the ups and downs of his mood, all his thoughts and thoughts finally turned into a long sigh.

Captured by cultists, washed away from faith, distorted flesh and soul by dark mystery, fallen into the dark sect, infected with sin and depravity, and finally turned allegiance to a foreign country... If he hadn't heard Andessa's words with his own ears, he I couldn't believe that these things happened to the illustrious new star of the empire, and happened to his most proud son.

The old duke couldn’t help but imagined that if he was younger, in his harsher and harder age, how would he react after learning about these things, he would first grieve in Bard’s position as his father. Those sufferings were the first to be angry with the dust of family honor as Duke Wendell. He found that he could not imagine anything-after witnessing the greatest darkness and malice in the depths of the world on the battlefield of Winterhold , Too many people have undergone permanent changes, including Pei Dinan Wendell who was once known as the "Steel Duke".

  The old duke sighed again—he felt that he was old after all.

"Father said... he did a lot of wrong things, and he didn't intend to use the so-called'involuntary' as an excuse. He said that he had a lot of crazily and depraved evil things that he did on his own initiative with a clear mind. Yes, because at that time he was completely obsessed with the savior-like self-movement and false enthusiasm brought about by the idea of ​​the end of all things. Although he has been forgiven today, he still has to use the rest of his life to atone for his sins on the land he has hurt. "Andersa watched the change of grandfather's expression a little nervously. After the other side sighed twice, she still said what Bud had said to her. "In addition, he said that although he has been loyal to Emperor Cecil , But he has never done anything to harm Typhon’s interests, including leaking any military and technical secrets-he just wants to be a conscientious researcher."

   "Conscientious researcher..." Duke Perdinand murmured softly, "So, he won't be back-did he mention anything to tell me?"

"He asked about your physical condition in detail, but he didn't ask me to tell you anything," Andesa shook her head. "I asked him about his expression at the time, but he had something to say, but... but he In the end it didn't say anything."

"I see." The old duke shook his head lightly. He didn't seem to be surprised. He just sighed. "When he still needs to rely on his father, I only treat him as the empire's soldier and the heir of the family, and he is now I have already left these two identities...I shouldn't be surprised by this result."

"Grandfather, father..." Andesa hesitated. In fact, she didn't quite know how her grandfather and father got along. The long childhood memories were blurred in her mind, so at this time she too Not quite sure what to say, "He actually remembers you very much."

   "I know, Andesa, don't worry-I know all of them," a smile appeared at the corner of Pei Dinan's eyes, "I am his father after all."

  Andesa nodded slowly, and then couldn’t help asking: "Will you blame him for the decision? He has given up his identity as a Typhon... and may stay in Cecil forever."

Pei Dinan didn’t answer for a while, but just pondered quietly. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the dreams he had had, the omens that he had seen in the indistinguishable illusion that seemed to reveal the fate of Bud. "He was confused and disturbed by it, but now... he finally knows the truth behind these "omen".

  A moment later, the old prince suddenly asked: "Do you think he is doing well over there?"

"He's doing well," Andesa said with little hesitation. She recalled the time she spent with her father in Solinburg-even though the other party's work seemed a little incomprehensible to her. The fullness and relief she saw from her father's face is not false, "He has a new lifestyle and a new social life. I can see that he enjoys his current state very much."

   "Then I have nothing to complain about," Duke Pedinan whispered, "After all these years, he should live for himself."

   "Grandfather, your majesty is over there..."

Duke Pei Dinan shook his head slowly, he was about to say something, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted the old man's next movement-the grandfather and grandchildren looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, one of them The attendant opened the door and entered the hall, where he bowed and saluted: "My lord, the hostess, a royal messenger is visiting."

  "Royal messenger?" Andesa confirmed in surprise. She looked at her grandfather subconsciously, but saw that the old man's face was calm. Duke Pei Dinan nodded slightly to the attendant: "Please come in, messenger."

But for a while, the royal messenger who suddenly visited appeared in front of Andesa under the guidance of the attendant. This is a calm and confident middle-aged man wearing a dark blue jacket with delicate silver edges and red patterns. Two more followers followed him, each holding a long ornate wooden box.

Andesa couldn’t help guessing with some guilty conscience about the purpose of Emperor Rosetta’s sudden messenger. At the same time, he received the visitor from Obsidian Palace according to the standard ritual. After a few simple greetings, Duke Perdinand Asked about the messenger's coming, the man in the dark blue coat smiled: "Your Majesty knows that General Andesa has returned to his territory today. The general has made great contributions to the empire, and it has been a whole day. A winter confinement, so I ordered me to send a gift of condolences—"

He turned around and pointed to the gorgeous wooden box held by one of his entourages: "This is a knight's long sword enchanted by the president of the Royal Wizards Association, Ms. Windsor Mapel. You can manipulate the powerful winter power or Change the gravity within a certain range, and protect the user at a critical moment, making him immune to a legendary fatal injury. His Majesty named it "Winter". Now it is yours, General Andesa."

"Thank your majesty for the gift." Andesa said immediately, and then ordered the attendant to take the gift representing a high honor. After opening the gorgeous wooden box, a sword was sharp, and the surface seemed to be condensed. The knight's sword of never-melting ice came into her eyes-it was indeed a good sword.

  Even though the era of traditional warfare has passed, in the face of powerful cluster artillery, this individual weapon no longer has the ability to control the entire battlefield, but it is still a good sword.

  While ordering the attendant to collect this gift, Andesa and Duke Perdinand couldn’t help but fall on the wooden box carried by another royal attendant.

  "This second gift is for you, Duke Perdignan." The messenger turned to Perdignan Wendell, and there was a seriousness in his smile.

"Since General Bud Wendell died outside Winter Wolf Castle, the Wendell family has been dedicated to their duties for two decades and made indelible contributions to the Empire. Now General Andesa is in danger again, keeping the empire precious. The elite force of, avoided the previous Winter War from falling into an impossible situation-the entire empire should thank you and your family for your great dedication and sacrifice.

  "Here is another sword. Although it is not a powerful legendary weapon like'Winter', it has an extremely important meaning: it is the sword of your Majesty in the past two decades, and its name is'Trust'.

"It originally had a sister long sword named Loyalty. It was the saber of General Bud Wendell. It was a pity that it was lost after the death of General Bud 20 years ago. Now his Majesty gifted this sword. Your Excellency, one is to thank the Wendell family for their long-term contributions, and the other is to place a memory on it. I hope you can treat it properly."

  Andesa listened nervously and suddenly took a breath. She realized a very crucial detail in the messenger’s words——

Twenty years ago, a force led by his father lost its track at the foot of the Dark Mountains. Although almost everyone believed that the wolf general was no longer alive, all the official calibre of the empire over the years has been missing. Especially the royal family, in this matter, in formal occasions, have never used the word "dead"!

The young General Wolf quickly realized something. She looked at her grandfather and saw the old man stunned for a short time. Then her lips quivered slightly. It seemed that it took a lot of effort to finally speak: "I... Thank you for your grace..."

  "Please accept this gift," the messenger smiled, and motioned to the entourage behind him to come forward, "this is the heart of your majesty."

"Okay, of course." Duke Perdinand said immediately, and ordered the attendant to take the long wooden box. After opening the lid, a handle was inlaid with sky blue gemstones on the hilt of the sword. It was exquisite and practical. His body sword appeared in front of him.

   "What else did your majesty say?" The old duke raised his head to look at the messenger, and asked quickly.

   "There is only one very simple sentence," the messenger looked at the old man solemnly, "he said:'Everyone is well.'"

  "Everyone is well..." Duke Pei Dinan repeated this sentence subconsciously, before nodding slowly, "I understand, please allow me again to express my gratitude to your majesty."

  The messenger had a mission and didn't stay in the Changzhi Manor for too long. He quickly left with his entourage. In the lobby of the main house of the manor, only Andesa and Pedinan were left.

  The two long swords with special significance have been put away by the attendants and sent to the nearby weapon display room.

  Andesa finally couldn't help breaking the silence: "Grandfather, your majesty, he..."

"You don't have to guess what your Majesty thinks, especially when he has taken the initiative to give you room to turn around," Duke Perdinand shook his head, interrupting what Andesa wanted to say, "Child, remember, your father is no longer alive. Now, he died twenty years ago from today."

  Andesa looked at her grandfather, and then slowly nodded: "Yes, I understand."

   "...Let’s let people go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine," Duke Perdinand was silent for a moment, and said leisurely, "Let’s drink together... There are so many things to celebrate today."

  ……

The long-lost sun shines on Aldernan. After the fog dissipates, the city finally embraces the clear blue sky. On the first visit in this summer, the whole city will usher in rare clear skies in a year-in the past The musty odor accumulated in the long dense fog season will be like snow in the sun, quickly dissipating in these warm days.

  In the study room on the upper floor of the Obsidian Palace, the royal maid chief Diana pushed open the door and came to Rosetta Augustus.

   Emperor Rosetta looked up from the scroll and looked at Diana: "It seems that the gift has been delivered?"

   "Yes, the messenger just sent a message," the dark-haired Diana nodded slightly, "Duke Perdinand and General Andesa have accepted the gifts, and the whole process went smoothly."

   "Really... Then they must have understood my intention."

Speaking of this, the empire ruler couldn't help showing a weird smile, and shook his head complicatedly: "But then again, I really can't imagine that Bud is really alive... although Pei Dinan He mentioned his dreams and premonitions, but no one would have imagined that these perceptions from the extraordinary would be confirmed in this form..."

There was more than one Typhon commander captured with Andesa, and several more seriously injured were transferred to the Thorin area for retreat. Although the information these people had access to was very limited, Bud · The name Wendell still passed into their ears, and after returning home, it was passed to the book case of Emperor Rosetta.

  This is a very simple and direct intelligence transmission line, so simple that it can be seen at a glance that it has not carried out any secrecy or disguise.

  In thinking, Emperor Rosetta couldn’t help muttering to himself softly: “From a certain angle, this news was actually passed on to us by Gawain Cecil...”
