Chapter 84 Otto the Red-haired

In the Weissbach Palace.

After learning the latest information, the Duke left in a hurry.

The commission content of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group has also been changed.

"Escort the envoy" - there is no need to escort, the envoy is already dead, and Viscount Heinrich does not know if he has escaped. But even if he escapes successfully, the Wolfe family will treat him as dead, and

Use this to attack the Weisbach family.

"Discover and thwart the enemy's conspiracy" - the conspiracy has been discovered, and it is surprisingly big. The Black Death is not a joke. The Weisbach family will soon launch an all-out effort to prevent it.

And kill the mastermind behind it.

Strictly speaking, the Duke was quite satisfied with entrusting the Cangqing Sword. You must know that the village of Berg suffered a rat plague, but not a single living person escaped. If the Cangqing Sword had not escaped from the disaster of the mission's destruction,

Survived and came to Mingxing City as quickly as possible to report the news.

So I'm afraid the Weisbach family is still in the dark. Knowing this for a few minutes every night may lead to hundreds or even thousands more casualties.

Eleanor sat there in despair, staring at the floor, with the image of Hood and Maria's bodies embracing each other still in her mind.

"He could have survived," she murmured.

"Many people could have survived." Ask replied.

Eleanor was silent for a while and said with difficulty: "If we had not chosen to take on this mission, but told our father the information..."

"The situation will not improve much." Asker said, "At that time, we could only confirm that the man behind the scenes was a high-level transcendent, but we did not know what sequences and abilities he possessed."

"Considering that every time a demigod uses a high-level ability, it is equivalent to consuming his lifespan. Before knowing that the other party has the terrifying large-scale destructive ability of the Black Death, even if your father reports the demigod, they may not take action.

"

"Indeed." A voice sounded from the distant corridor, "So little Eleanor, please stop blaming yourself."

Following the Duke of Bavaria, a middle-aged man dressed casually and wearing a straw hat seemed to have just returned from fishing, holding a fishing rod and a bucket in his hand.

"Help me handle the fish, little Otto." The middle-aged man handed the bucket to the Duke.

"Okay." The Duke of Bavaria looked helpless, picked up the bucket and left.

"Are you an ancestor?" Eleanor said in shock.

"Yes." The middle-aged man took off his straw hat, revealing a head of dark red hair, "I have the same name as your father, also Otto. But in my time, they usually called me 'red-haired Otto'."

Giving the same name as one's ancestors was a traditional skill for the nobles of the Shinra Empire, so Eleanor quickly accepted this person's identity. But Asik thought for a moment and asked:

"Why do I feel that your setting seems familiar?"

"Hahaha." The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Have you ever heard the legendary story about the battle between me and the Lion Duke Henry before?"

Eleanor suddenly realized it and said in surprise: "You are the first Duke of Bavaria of our Weisbach family! The one who defeated Henry the Lion!"

"That's a long story." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "But let's get rid of the rats scurrying outside first."

He took the two of them out of the palace and joined the girls waiting outside.

Mia had already caught a mouse in the city and brought it to red-haired Otto. The latter stared at the mouse for a moment and said:

"It is indeed the ability of 'Rat III'. He planted a brand in the body of this mouse to ensure that he can transform into a spirit body at any time."

"There should be tens of thousands of rats like this in the country," Aske said.

"Yes." Red-haired Otto said, "But this is also a double-edged sword. He can use these marks to transfer at will, and we can also use it to lock the position of the opponent's body, and even counterattack through spiritual contact.

It interferes with the direction and makes him unable to switch for a period of time."

"Is it similar to the ability of sealing?" Nora asked.

"Yes, little Nora." The red-haired Otto looked at her with a smile, "Your beauty is very much like your great-grandmother. We met once more than seventy years ago."

"Thank you, thank you..." Nora was speechless.

"So ancestor, are you going to lead us to find the location of the other party's body now?" Eleanor was helpless to this ancestor demigod who had lived for an unknown number of years and was still flirting with others, and asked urgently.

"Well." Red-haired Otto said, "Under the current demonic tide state, I can only use abilities no more than Lv. 10. Anything above this level will hurt me, so I try not to take action. Specific tactical actions

It’s up to you to execute it.”

"I am only responsible for helping you find the opponent's identity and interfering with his ability to switch between rat swarms. As long as you can work together to kill him, the deal and reward negotiated by the current Duke and you will still be valid, how about that?"

"Okay." Asik nodded and said.

"Okay." The red-haired Otto said in approval. He grabbed the squeaking rat with his left hand and stabbed it in like a knife with his right hand.

Some kind of weird red symbol surged out along the skin of the back of his hand and quickly penetrated into the rat's body.

"In Bernried." He pulled out his finger, and flames rose from his skin, burning away the flesh and blood on it, "Let's go."

A military vehicle drove over from the opposite side and quickly picked up the crowd and drove out of the city.

When passing by the village of Berg, Eleanor looked into the distance. The flames there had been extinguished, and now only ruins and a cemetery were left.

"Your territory is Berg Village, right, Captain Aske?" The red-haired Otto turned his head from the seat in front, "That place has been severely polluted by the plague, and there may not be a new village built in the future. I will come back later."

Let little Otto change your fiefdom for you."

"No need." Ask smiled and shook his head, "There's no need to change places."

"Because I have a friend buried there."

"Asker..." Nora bit her lower lip and immediately felt the urge to cry.

"Friends." Red-haired Otto sighed, "I don't have many friends anymore."

"After all, the longer you live, the less you see the emotions between people. When a person comes to the world alone, although he will make many friends and even lovers, he will eventually return to loneliness. This is also the fate of us extraordinary beings.

Do you understand, Aske?"

"Yeah." Ask understood that the red-haired Otto was implicitly reminding him not to indulge in so-called personal affairs between men and women.

After all, what really determines how long you can live is your own extraordinary level. The rise and fall of the demonic tide has its own cycle. If your lover's level is lower than yours, then when the demonic tide goes down, she will never be able to rise again.

level, it will eventually run out of life before you do.

Rather than suffer the pain of separation between life and death, it is better not to look for this short-term happiness in the first place.

Because of maintaining this concept, it is difficult for most extraordinary beings to establish long-term emotional relationships with others. The lifespan of mortals is too fragile, and the companions of extraordinary beings have different levels and life spans, which means they are destined to be unable to get along with them.

Others come together.

Choosing transcendence is equivalent to choosing loneliness.

However, Asker's fundamental purpose was not to become a transcendent from the beginning. He just wanted to return to the original world, and to return, he had to defeat the copy of the Dragon on Mont Blanc, and he had to become a transcendent first.

Of course, he couldn't explain to the red-haired Otto, "I didn't build this group to have a harem", otherwise the girls would be embarrassed! So he could only keep silent.
