"What is 'wolf blood'?"
On the way back, Lao Qin approached the silent corpse witch and asked in a low voice:
"I just heard your great-grandson say that it is a shame for your life, and even for your family. Did you lose that thing?"
"That's a sword."
Corpse Witch Baldwin's voice was no different from before, and there were no obvious emotional fluctuations.
It looked at the filthy swamp spreading to the horizon not far away and said:
"That was the sword given to me by the God of the North Wind when I followed the hero King Boris to conquer the wilderness. It was made of sacred wolf fangs and swayed with the fury of the wolf god. It was the symbol of the Baldwin family and also the symbol of 'No.
One of the Three Artifacts of Germany.
The remaining two items are the 'White Frost' scepter currently held by the Wolf Girl and the 'Winter Scripture' placed in the Great Temple of North Wind Castle. Both are gifts from the God of the North Wind and are the heroes of King Boris.
The most legitimate source of dominion over the Great Wilderness is his descendants.
I still remember the glorious war that I followed him in the wilderness. It took us many years to complete the conquest. And in the cold wind of the far north, one night, the God of the North Wind came to us in person.
The camp recognized the rule of the Hero King.
He gave Boris three artifacts, and the Wolf Blood Sword was worn by the King of Heroes. When the second black disaster came, Boris personally gave it to me to command his vanguard army.
The scale of that black disaster was not large, it was just an echo of the first black disaster.
Our war was going very smoothly until we entered the swamp, where I and the heroes of other races established a camp, which is now ordered to be 'Wolf's Castle'.
The Supreme Lord of the Silver Dwarves, Orfgor, built the mage tower, and I was the first owner of that tower. Unfortunately, I was so high-spirited that I did not realize that I had reached the end of my life.
We had already won by then.
I let my guard down and strayed into a side road in the swamp while chasing a group of gnoll remnants with my soldiers.
It’s really embarrassing.”
The old corpse witch sighed and said:
"I didn't even die on the battlefield, or at the hands of the enemy. I was too arrogant and was defeated by this swamp. When I realized that I could no longer escape from the malice of the swamp, I threw the Wolf Blood Sword to me.
The attendant asked him to bring this artifact back to Beifong Castle.
I don't know what happened after that.
It seems that my attendant also encountered an accident and lost the Wolf Blood Sword.
The artifact that belonged to Su must have been picked up by the defeated jackals. Alas, I originally wanted to rest in peace, but now it seems that fate is not kind to me. Even after I come back from the dead, there are still regrets waiting for me.
I'm going to finish it."
"Sounds like a fairy tale."
Lao Qin commented bitterly:
"Whether it's the process of getting that sword or your destiny, it's full of tragedy. But you should have been very powerful when you were chatting and laughing with so many heroes. Why are you so weak now that you can be defeated by cannonballs?
"
"I can't answer this question for you."
Old Baldwin shook his head and said:
"I don't know why I, a gold-level psionicist, have fallen into such a weak state after hundreds of years of resurrection. Maybe it's because those jackals' resurrection methods are too rough, or maybe it's because the swamp mud has been polluted for hundreds of years.
Years of covering have robbed my remains of their strength, leaving them unaware that they had dug up the heroes of the past from the mud.
But these no longer mean anything to me.
I was resurrected as a dead soul, and death changed me forever, causing my strength to slip to the limit of silver, not even one-tenth of what it once was.
But that doesn't stop me from fulfilling my responsibilities.
I want to get the wolf blood back!
Alas, it seems I have to serve that cunning vampire."
Having said this, the old corpse witch looked back at Lao Qin in a way that a human being could never do, and said:
"But maybe I have a second option. General from another world, are you interested in accepting a down-and-out veteran as your assistant?"
"ah?"
Of course Lao Qin understood what the Corpse Witch meant, but he blinked and asked:
"But I am not a necromancer, and I have no plans to change my profession to a coffin bearer. Finally, why me? If you serve Governor Murphy, your strength recovery speed should be faster, right?"
"Indeed, serving Governor Murphy is the best choice at the moment, but I don't like that vampire."
Old Baldwin said bluntly:
"He is not a soldier, he is more like a lord. As a Nord who has met the gods, I do not want to serve a vampire. You see, death took away my glory, but I retained myself
dignity.
I joked with Boris that I would only serve those who had beaten me.
Boris was the first.
You are the second one."
"Wow, I'm so honored."
Old Qin curled his lips, stared at the old corpse witch, and said:
"But you didn't tell the truth. You were just flattering me and trying to change the subject. Look, Lao Luo, although I am also a veteran, I was given another responsibility after I retired. I must know the real reason.
Otherwise there will be no place for you in my team."
The Corpse Witch was silent for a moment, and then it replied:
"First of all, judging from the current situation, there will definitely be a battle between Transia and Nordtov. Those military leaders who are ready to move will definitely provoke disputes, and the wolf girl is too young and she lacks sufficient prestige in the army.
Although I look down on those idiots, I don't want to go against the kingdom that Boris built, so I can't serve Governor Murphy.
Secondly, I am very curious about you ‘devils from other worlds’.
I used to be a spellcaster, and I also know about alien creatures, but you are completely different! Your form and your behavior surpass the definition of all alien creatures I know.
I hope to contact you to know more mysteries. This is the curiosity of a psionicist.
Finally, you are going to fight the gnolls, and I am going to take back the dignity I lost from the gnolls, which is the only thing I have left after I come back from the dead.
I can't do it alone, I need powerful helpers.
And you are the most powerful alien devil leader I can find so far. Other little devils just have courage, but you are different! You smell of iron and blood, you are a real warrior and commander.
If I don’t cooperate with you, who else can I cooperate with?”
"Emmmm, that makes sense."
Old Qin rubbed his chin and glanced at the Corpse Witch Baldwin again.
He said:
"Then I'll change my job to a coffin bearer now?"
"I can teach you. Although I knew nothing about necromancy when I was alive, I have gained some experience thanks to serving those jackals and dog thieves in the past few years."
The corpse witch waved his hand and said:
"You don't need to be a coffin bearer. That profession doesn't match your fighting style. You just need to be a summoner, just like your Governor Murphy. But you don't need to ask for power from the star realm, but to step in
Enter the majesty of Hades and become an orthodox summoner of the undead.
This profession is different from both the Necromancer and the Coffin Bearer, but I will teach you."
"You want to teach me how to control you and then turn you into my summon?"
Lao Qin widened his eyes and said:
"This is the first time I've seen your method of trapping yourself. I'm beginning to feel that you must have gone crazy."
Old Baldwin did not answer, but shrugged in a very humane manner.
It held the computing orb it was given, and after a few minutes of clumsy operation, with a soft ding, a hidden mission called "Looking for Wolf Blood" was triggered on Lao Qin's character interface.
In front of Baldwin is a gold-level psionicist. Although it may be a little watery, and although most of its power has been taken away by death, it does not lack wisdom. It was also taught by Bella during the time in the Blood Vulture Corridor. It knows
How to deal with these "devils from another world"?
Lao Qin stared at this hidden mission that came to his door.
This mission has three tags: [Extremely Difficult], [Epic Story] and [Nordtov Kingdom Main Line], and it can only be shared with 25 people, which is the number of people in a standard strategy group.
"Ah, I have a headache."
Old Man Qin really didn't expect that he, a retired veteran cadre, could encounter such a bizarre story in this bizarre game, but he did not refuse but chose to accept it.
In the words of those little kids on the forum, if you don’t answer the mission, are you still a qualified player?
And Lao Qin didn’t pick it up by himself. He knew very well that good things should be shared. So after more than ten seconds, the young players in the back discussing joining Mrs. Adele’s Shadow Expedition let out bursts of exclamations.
.
Obviously, they also saw the epic mission that Lao Qin shared with them.
"Damn it! Mr. Qin is awesome! This is the first time I've seen this kind of mission with the label [Epic Plot]. I have to go to the forum and post it!"
"You want to find one of the three legendary artifacts of the Nordtov Kingdom? It is also related to the general family of the Winter Wolf Legion. That guy is a relative of the emperor? Oh, this mission is really awesome! As expected of Master Qin, just do it casually
We did things we never dared to think about.”
"When you have time to flatter people, you might as well think about how to get 25 people together!"
"Hey, it's a trivial matter. It's hard to find a three-legged toad. There are so many little three-legged players. Mr. Qin, wait for me to go to the forum and shout out. Isn't it easy to gather 25 people? Mr. Qin, just tell me.
Human conditions!
Do you want to be powerful or have potential?"
"As long as you obey the command! If you are disobedient, don't come. It will take ten years off my life if you bring these little bastards with me. If you bring a bunch of disobedient little kids, I will go crazy."
"Okay, I'll go recruit people right away!"
——
"Ms. Adele, the recruitment of warriors you requested has been issued. Foreigners are very enthusiastic about signing up. Even if you only require black iron-level warriors according to your request, they are already overcrowded. I have to say that you are really popular among them.
Terrifyingly high.
Even if we don't prepare many rewards, these guys are willing to follow you."
In the small conference hall dedicated to the Shadow Intelligence Bureau in the Blood Vulture Corridor, Dorothy, the "Sewer Sister/Blood Rat Gang Boss", was holding a notebook and reporting to her superiors like a decent person.
arrive:
"I gave those guys a specific time and will start the selection tonight. Your expedition team will be ready to set off by midnight tomorrow at the latest."
"Well, let's do it tomorrow."
Adele, who was looking through the secret information everywhere in the Scarlet Castle and looking for some information, said without raising her head:
"I will personally lead them through the swamp and search for the 'Shadow Valley'. Dana will go with me as my adjutant. You stay in Scarlet Castle to recruit good people. Once I send back the message, you must go as quickly as possible.
The speed to get to my location and accept that territory.
There are at least 3,000 half-elves like me there.
They all have the blood of shadow elves and are very good at covert operations. They are the candidates most needed by the Shadow Intelligence Bureau. Once their recruitment is in place, we will no longer be troubled by lack of manpower."
"Okay, ma'am."
Dorothy recorded this order, but the cunning leader of the Blood Rat Gang did not leave in a hurry. She looked around and asked in a low voice:
"Ma'am, I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask."
"You said that as my heir, you have certain privileges."
Adele folded the information briefing in her hand.
She raised her head and looked at Dorothy, waiting for the other person's question.
As the current leader of the Shadow Intelligence Agency who specializes in intelligence collection, Dorothy is obviously the most capable officer under Adele. As Adele watched, Dorothy said cautiously:
"Why did you suddenly decide to launch such an operation? I am not questioning your decision, ma'am.
I'm just curious. Your original plan for the Shadow Intelligence Bureau was to be a small but sophisticated organization, positioned as a functional small force of the Blood Vulture Clan. But this time after you returned from Bataxin City, your
There seems to be some change in thinking.
I can feel that the adjustments you have made in the past few days are obviously to expand the scale of the Shadow Intelligence Agency, and judging from your attitude of taking 3,000 half-elves into consideration at one go, I have reason to believe that your plan
The Shadow Intelligence Agency will become one of the largest organizations in Transia.
Of course, this does no harm to Governor Murphy's rule, and the administrative office does not hinder your expansion. Obviously, the Scarlet Archon also hopes that you can bring more information to the administrators.
But I just don't understand.
Why?
What made you change your mind almost overnight and embrace a new future so proactively?
With all due respect, ma'am.
You used to be very, well, very Buddhist!
Those words created by foreigners are really suitable for who you used to be, like a boat, drifting with the current, just doing what you should do but not caring much about future changes."
Faced with Dorothy's inquiry, Adele did not answer immediately.
She just crossed her hands to support her chin. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Dorothy and said:
"Do you find this change difficult to accept? Do you think my planning changes are good or bad?"
"Of course that's great!"
Dorothy showed a big smile and praised from the bottom of her heart:
“I hope our organization will be bigger and stronger, the better!
Although the number of people does not represent strength, let alone deterrence, it is impossible for an organization with a small number of people to make a breakthrough.
I have already seen the bright future of the Shadow Bureau. As long as we survive the Black Disaster, we can soar into the sky! Maybe in the future we can become a powerful organization like the Royal Intelligence Service of the Yankees or the King's Eye of the Plantagenet Kingdom.
It can even be on an equal footing with the Thieves Guild.
Frankly speaking, your plan has fulfilled my long-cherished wish, and I respect and love you even more.
But I still want to know why."
At this point, the sewer girl glanced at Mrs. Adele's low neckline. She plucked up the courage and lowered her voice again and said:
"Is it because of the Governor?"
Adele looked at Dorothy faintly, and after a few seconds, she said:
"In your eyes, am I stupid? Why can you all catch my thoughts so easily?"
"Ha, that's because women in love are always different. I've seen a lot of them before."
Dorothy knew she had guessed correctly.
She grinned and said:
"Your reaction in front of others is still perfect, but the way you behave when you are with the Governor, you can recognize that feeling even if you are not blind.
This is not a bad thing, mistress, don't feel ashamed about it.
An organization like ours that walks in the darkness must rely on the protection of the strong to live stably. There is no problem with your choice. In fact, it is a very smart strategy.
But you'll need some advanced wisdom to get a leg up on the competition.
For example, pull up your collar. Even a woman like me who has never been in love knows that this suggestion is too obvious and childish. It will only appear that you are too straightforward and have no connotation. A character like Mr. Murphy is not suitable.
You will love this kind of 'delicious food' delivered to your door.
Men all like to do something challenging!
For example, my excellent apprentice Yaya has no interest in those simple treasure boxes. He likes to challenge himself.
Considering that Sir Murphy has many similarities with foreigners, you should learn to draw strength from the outside. My suggestion to you is that you should probably go to Mrs. Water's shop to talk to her and seek her advice.
That perfect woman among the foreigners is definitely a ‘master’ in this field!
For example, your pair of shoes.
Didn't you notice that unique pair of shoes provided to you by Lady Water? Every time you put them on, you always attract the attention of many men.
Well, I shouldn't say any more.
Please allow me to excuse myself, madam."
