People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

However, deep in the city of Moren, after their continuous search, they finally found an exhausted knight on a tower on the city wall.

The man sat on the edge of the city wall with his head lowered, wearing the armor of a lost knight.

There were several hybrid corpses lying around him. The long sword he carried with him was thrown aside. The sword was full of holes and blood that had not yet dried was slowly dripping from it.

Seeing this, he stopped Melina and Irena, signaling them with his eyes to wait where they were while he went up to take a look.

Melina nodded slightly to show that she understood.

However, the moment he walked out, the alert man immediately noticed him, but after seeing that he was a human, he let down most of his vigilance.

"...Oh, stranger, I've never seen you..."

The man's voice was filled with weariness and fatigue, and the look in his eyes revealed a hint of numbness.

He looked like he was really tired, but he still introduced himself to Reinhardt.

"Hello, stranger, I am Edgar, and I am here to defend this city under the orders of Lord Greg..."

"...Hello Mr. Eggard, I'm Reinhardt."

"Reinhardt..."

Eggard lowered his head and chewed on the name for a moment, then slowly raised his head and asked, "I wonder what Lord Reinhardt wants to do with Morn City?"

"However, no matter what your problem is, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it now. You can see how embarrassing it is now."

"...the servants all rebelled."

"I gave them a stable life, thinking they would work well, but I didn't expect it was just a deception."

"He is truly a defiler, even his heart is filthy."

At this point, a hint of anger appeared on Eggard's face.

Originally, those hybrids were the losers and were reduced to slaves just like the mountain goblins.

But what he didn't expect was that he followed the example of the lord of Hyde Fortress and tried his best to give these hybrids a better life, but he didn't expect that these filthy hybrids would actually rebel.

When no one was paying attention, they rushed into the city of Morn and started a fight, even killing the residents of the Weeping Peninsula.

They were all captured and brought to the city of Moren, where they were either brutally dismembered and killed, or their dismembered bodies were thrown into the fire.

The sounds of the residents crying and wailing still lingered in his mind for a long time.

But soon, Egged realized that he seemed to have said too much, and there was no need to tell such a family scandal to an outsider.

So he said apologetically:

"...I'm so sorry to have let you hear about the scandal in Morn City."

"However, even if you have any requests, the current Morn City cannot respond."

"This is a small gift of apology. Please accept it."

After saying that, Eggard took out a thin branch from his arms and handed it to Reinhardt. Reinhardt looked down and saw that it was a dead branch so thin that it seemed to break at the slightest bend. It was stained with gold and was obviously part of the golden tree.

It was the sacrificial twig, the very branch Van Lei had used to escape from him.

It is said that those are branches left over from pruning in ancient times.

Able to avoid a fatal death on behalf of the master.

However, Reinhardt had no intention of accepting it, but just stared at Eggard quietly.

Eggard also noticed this, slowly raised his head and looked at Reinhardt in confusion, then seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile.

"...I'm sorry, for a distinguished guest like you, such a gift is indeed too shabby. However, you've seen the current state of Morn City, and we can't offer anything better."

"No, you misunderstood Mr. Eggard. I didn't come to Morn City for your gift, nor did I ask for anything. Instead, I was asked by someone to bring her here to see you."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Eggard raised his head and looked at him again, muttering in confusion: "...See me?"

Moen City is so miserable now, who would come to see me?

Lord Greg?

No, that's impossible. Lord Greg is already obsessed with limb grafting. How could he send someone to see me, especially when this person is a Faded One?

Then, at Reinhardt's beckoning, he finally knew who wanted to see him.

"...I-Irena?!"

Seeing his daughter, Eggard quickly stood up and went to greet her. As if to confirm, he held her arms tightly and stared at her for a moment.

"Father...."

"Great, Irena, you're still alive..."

Eggard immediately held her in his arms tightly and refused to let go. Irena also leaned tightly in her father's arms, as if feeling the only remaining warmth through the cold and hard armor.

But besides being happy and moved, Eggard was also a little surprised.

He didn't understand why his daughter appeared here. He had clearly told Irena that no matter what, she must not return to More City or the Weeping Peninsula.

It would be best to go to Hyde Fortress, where Lord Kenneth is his best friend and will definitely help take care of her.

"Father, I asked Lord Rhine to bring me back. I came back this time hoping that you could leave Morn City with me."

"I know that if I do this, my father will be branded a coward for abandoning the city, but I hope that he can survive. As long as he survives, we will be able to take back Moren City sooner or later."

Before Eggard could speak, Irena took the initiative to persuade him.

But Eggard shook his head and rejected Irena's request, "No, Irena, I haven't finished what I want to do yet, so I can't leave for the time being."

"W-why? Is there anything more important than your life?"

Irena's voice suddenly rose a few notches, and she was no longer like the quiet lady from before. Instead, she sounded somewhat like the crazy Haida.

She couldn't understand why her father was so obsessed with Moren City.

What is it all for...

However, even though his daughter yelled at him, Egged remained calm. He stretched out his big hands tightly wrapped in arm armor and gently stroked Irena's little head, with infinite fatherly love in his eyes.

"Irena, you don't understand. Morn City isn't actually that important. But there's one thing that absolutely must not fall into the hands of those hybrids. It's proof that the Golden Tree has defeated the hybrids."

Reinhardt, who was listening on the side, seemed to have thought of something after hearing what Eggard said.

As we all know, every time the Golden Dynasty occupied a piece of land, there would be corresponding proof.

For example, there is the Fire Giant guarding the Fire Cauldron on the Giant Snow Mountain, or the Crescent Moon Crossbow and Pyroxene Kris made for the marriage of Kalia and Rodel, and even the Golden Law Greatsword which was born based on the Moonlight Greatsword.

And if the Golden Tree's army conquers the hybrids, the only thing that can serve as proof is that sword, right?

A giant sword called the Sword Skeleton Greatsword.

According to the origins of the sword monument and the sword skeleton greatsword, we can know that the Weeping Peninsula originally did not belong to humans, but to hybrids.

King Gefulei led his army here and conquered the Weeping Peninsula, bringing it into the sphere of influence of the Golden Dynasty.

However, in that great war, the hybrid nation was destroyed, and a lone revenge hero stood up to fight.

The hero held a greatsword made from all the weapons of the tribe's warriors and fought the final battle with Ge Fulei.

And that greatsword was the Sword Skeleton Greatsword.

But at the end of that great battle, the hybrid hero who once wielded the Sword Skeleton Greatsword also disappeared.

No one could prove his death, but no one could prove his survival either.

"In that case, Mr. Eggard, I do have a suggestion."

"How about I help you get that great sword back?"

"Of course, the reward is also very simple. Just give me that Sword Skeleton Greatsword."

Reinhardt had some vague guesses. When the sword skeleton greatsword was mentioned, the first person that popped into his mind was Grandpa Xu Gu, the old hybrid who worked tirelessly in the Round Table Hall to forge weapons for the Faded Ones.

I always feel that this sword skeleton sword has some connection with Grandpa Xiu Gu.

What if it was Xiu Gu who wielded this greatsword?

Marika spared his life because of his talent in forging, and Xugu himself said that he was held there as a prisoner.

In this way, it doesn't make sense.

"You, how do you know?" Eggard was surprised when he heard this.

The story of the sword has been passed down through the generations in the city of Moren. Although it is not a secret, due to the passage of time, only the city lord remembers that history.

But the person in front of him was just a faded person who looked very young, so how could he know about this?

"Well, Mr. Eggard doesn't need to worry about this. You just need to refuse or accept this deal."

"Um...."

Eggard pondered for a moment, thought carefully, looked at his daughter in his arms, looked up at Reinhardt, and finally decided: "Okay, I agree to this deal."

"It's better to give it to you than to let it fall into the hands of those filthy bastards."

The most important thing is that after this matter is resolved, he doesn't want to continue to serve as the mayor of Moen City. He doesn't have the face to do so.

For the rest of his life, he will live for his daughter!

"That's straightforward. I like doing business with people like Mr. Eggard."

Reinhardt grinned and clasped Eggard's hand tightly.

The deal between the two was concluded.

Next, under the leadership of Eggard, while clearing out the hybrids blocking the road, they arrived at the rear of Morn City.

The beach on the seaside.

On the rocks and shallows floated countless huge, luminescent jellyfish, which appeared to be playing and chasing each other.

However, the arrival of these uninvited guests seemed to disturb the group of jellyfish, and they immediately slowly floated away.

Reinhardt looked at them curiously and even reached out to tease one of them.

The jellyfish that was teased seemed to sense his kindness and did not refuse. Instead, it stretched out its tentacles and lightly touched his palm. After finding that there was no danger, it slowly circled around him.

One, two, three.

Gradually, almost all the soul jellyfish came over, floating around and dancing.

It was as if a group of girls were dancing gracefully, performing a beautiful waltz for him.

"Mr. Rhine, these..."

"Needless to say, I know they are soul jellyfish."

He interrupted before Eggard could finish.

He knew these cute little creatures very well.

The Soul Jellyfish were actually a group of lovely stargazing girls when they were alive. After their death, they turned into jellyfish and stayed at the border area.

There are many of them, not just in the Weeping Peninsula, but also in Nimgefu, Lienia, the Yatan Plateau and the Giant Snow Mountain.

The most important thing is that these soul jellyfish are not as aggressive as other creatures in the border area. On the contrary, they are not only very cute, but also very kind. They have retained the nature and pure posture of a girl.

It can be said to be the conscience of the border area.

Of course, not all soul jellyfish are non-aggressive. Those soul jellyfish that emit red light must not be approached.

If you approach them rashly, they will spit venom at you.

However, if you leave, the jellyfish will not keep chasing you, but will just force you to leave.

However, the scene of Reinhardt playing with the swarm of soul jellyfish surprised Eggard very much.

In their understanding, although soul jellyfish will not actively attack humans, they will not be so close to humans. As long as humans approach, they will immediately disperse and move away.

The scene happening before our eyes has never happened before.

But his surprise was far less than Melina's.

She was a little confused. What kind of charm did this man have that could even conquer the Soul Jellyfish? And Torret was the same. He went to the Drifting Cemetery and chose him directly.

If one possesses the dignity of a king, he should command wild beasts, not this most intelligent creature.

This man seemed really different.
