Chapter 898 129. The Origin of Shadow Song
No matter how many demons you kill, it is better to cut off the claws of the demon king... Of course the Kingdom of Dimon understands this truth, but the vitality of the red dragon warlock exceeds their imagination.
"It has been seriously injured. Can't it be pursued by the legends of the mountain city?"
"Don't underestimate the legend's heritage. Even if they are seriously injured, they still pose a terrible threat..." Galkin The Grand Marshal said seriously.
Well, Annan lacks a clear understanding of the legend. Two legends can definitely kill one legend, and the one like the ancestors is also a legend.
"...In any case, this is the best opportunity to kill it. If you don't dare, I will do it!"
Marshal Galkin looked at Annan with a complicated attitude: "You shouldn't Adventure."
"Where did Nanazi escape to?"
"...The frozen soil in the north is a dangerous place for frost giants, white dragons, and rat people. , and there are demons everywhere. You want to kill the red dragon warlock, unless-"
"You want to say that there is a powerful rune sword in the northern frozen soil. I gained power after picking it up but was also killed. Cursed, he killed everyone around him. Although he killed Nanazi, he was still corrupted by the rune sword. Finally, he came back to assassinate the king at the celebration banquet and crowned him the king?" Annan interrupted him.
"No..."
Marshal Galkin opened his mouth and changed his attention, "You have a chance, Annan."
"The king will hold a celebration dinner tonight as a celebration of this. The biggest contributor to this operation, you will have the opportunity to speak on stage... It depends on you whether you can convince the king and the ministers.
Annan smiled and said: "It seems that you are also unwilling. "
Marshal Galkin revealed a trace of reminiscence: "I was just like you when I was young. ”
"What!?"
Marshal Galkin glanced at the shocked Annan expressionlessly: "I mean this kind of determination that once you make a decision, you must do it."
" Oh..."
"Young people are like this, regardless of the consequences, not knowing the cost, and will not stop until their face is covered with blood."
Annan was guessing that Marshal Galkin was boasting. I still scold myself...or maybe I just remember my past self.
But since Grand Marshal Galkin is also the main combatant, it is best to tie him to the chariot: "I am not enough on my own, and I will need your help when the time comes."
"Let's see how you perform."
Annan frowned: "Performance?"
"You have to prove your worth and let us be on your side."
Us?
Does anyone else stand with Generalissimo Galkin?
Annan's attention first returned to Marshal Galkin's words. Even if he killed Nanazi to achieve his goal, he was still dissatisfied: "You seem to have forgotten that the devil is threatening you. I just The kind-hearted lord passing by. "
"In addition to the king, the nobles thought so too."
Marshal Galkin walked out while Annan was stunned, and suddenly stopped behind the door. .
“Oh, I forgot, this is my home.”
...
"These nobles... just killed some demons and couldn't wait to hold a banquet."
On the way out, Annan became more and more angry.
They use the rise of the country to gain benefits for themselves, block other people's opportunities to come forward, and then leave when the country encounters a crisis...
"Olmedo, you My eldest sister and I must be careful of such guys appearing in Liberty City, otherwise I won’t mind hanging them from the street lights.”
Olmedo knew that he was complaining, but he still explained a few words: "Annan, you have to consider that the Kingdom of Dimon has been retreating steadily and has lost nearly half of its territory. This is a rare victory." "Are you coming? ? I guess I will see a lot of familiar people..."
Olmedo smiled: "I am destined to offend people tonight, so I won't go."
If Annan makes things too stiff, there is still a chance for Olmedo to step in and ease things up.
“Whatever you want.”
There was still some time before evening, and Annan tried to summon Della to no avail, so he returned to Liberty City to visit Shadowsong.
Itilia was right, there was something wrong with Shadow Song... When Annan came, she was talking to a skeleton.
Even though it was a skeleton soldier wearing plate armor, it was still weird for a living person to talk to a skeleton.
Dela wore a feather mask, and there was no sign of affection, but looking at her gentle whisper, Annan thought of a possibility: "Do you know him?"
"He is my brother."
"Sorry..."
Annan observed the skeleton. His pale bones were still tall. He should have been a tall young man in his lifetime. He was wearing fine plate armor with a faded sun pattern. The long sword placed aside was an ordinary knight's sword.
Shadow Song gently touched the mark on the skull's forehead: "This was accidentally left by me when I was a child. The arrow almost killed him..."
The mysterious identity of Shadow Song talked about his past for the first time.
It is more common than expected. After all, not everyone has a magnificent experience: Shadowsong’s father is a small lord-different from lords like Annan, who usually refers to those who have mages, Knighthood, a minor nobleman who had jurisdiction over a small area of land or estate.
As a son, Shadowsong's brother will actually inherit his father's estate, while the daughter will be married off or become a mistress to a powerful noble.
Then it was the same old development. Shadowsong refused to marry, she ran away, and her talent was discovered and absorbed by the Brotherhood of Shadows.
To be honest, Shadowsong didn't have any good memories of that home, with the only exception being her brother who took care of her.
And now, they thought their runaway daughter was dead, and the runaway daughter thought her family was still alive...
A sad story.
"Do you want to go home and take a look?" Annan's tone became gentle.
Shadow Song shook his head: "My home is in the north..."
There are only demons and ratmen there now... It is even sadder.
Annan comforted: "Don't give up. Many people in the north have fled to the south. There are many refugees in the mountain city. Maybe your family is here."
Shadow Ge was still hesitant, but Annan decided for her: "I'm going to attend a banquet held by the king tonight. What are your family's last names? I'll ask for you."
"...Felum."
Shadowsong looked at her brother sadly and decided to reconcile with the family.
Annan returned to the main palace of the city and found that they had already done many things that he had not mentioned, such as sending people to search for survivors along the Anna River.
But the daughter of Durikan and three other people have not been found so far. It seems that only Annan, Brinor Janna, and the Black Widow are not lost in the underground river.
This credit should belong to the daughter of Durikan...
There are still some things that they have not taken the initiative to do, such as the people of Janna's family, the Forgotten, and Tasia's people who have not yet taken over in the mountain city.
“I’ll give you half a day to bring them all back!”
Loxi quickly stood up straight: “I’ll go now!”
