Chapter 1418 1415. Beware of Murphy the Dog Playing the Undead Card

"What? Heather was detained when she went to negotiate? And the other party specifically asked to see me by name?"

Murphy, who was resting in a house on the defense line to relieve the weakness after the first embrace, soon received the news, because Adele and Shani were both sent to Abyss City to check the situation, so the news was sent by Maxim's wife, Ms. Lionnia.

This lady currently serves as the Ranger Commander in the Holy Blood Legion and is a direct subordinate of Ms. Philosier, the former Ranger General of the Kingdom of Castile. In this war scenario, she is also responsible for some intelligence gathering missions.

However, when she delivered the news from the tunnel, she also gave Murphy a suggestion:
"Ms. Ferosir has already known about this. She suggested that you do not keep the appointment. She will lead the fallen sons of God to launch a surprise attack on the sinful dwarves."

Leonnia says:
"Although we cannot annihilate more than 30,000 Sinful Dwarves, rescuing Lord Heather is not a problem. Such a decapitation operation can also effectively deter the enemy's arrogance. After all, in the current situation of fighting against the Zerg, the Sinful Dwarves' arrogant behavior is already an obvious declaration of war. It is reasonable for us to counterattack."

"No, no, no, please don't take any action yet, Ms. Fei Luoxier. There is obviously something wrong with this matter."

Murphy rolled his eyes, waved his hands and said:

"Heather is a warrior of the Astra Militarum who has been implanted with a symbiotic organism and a chaos core and has completed the strengthening of all her organs. The combat power that a 'downgraded version of Astartes' can unleash in a critical moment is not enough to make her unable to deal with the remnants of a group of sinful dwarves.

With her outspoken temper, if she were really ambushed, she would have thrown a fuss!
But now he's staying with the sinful dwarves, which is obviously a problem.

I don't expect the sinful dwarves to give me any surprises, but now is the time, any force should be used for the right things, since they want to see me, then go and see me."

After saying that, Murphy stood up with his cane and motioned for Leonnia to lead the way.

When they were leaving his residence, they happened to meet Lord Paying riding a unicorn and appeared in front of them. The Lord looked at Murphy and said:

"Are you going to keep an appointment with the dwarf?"

"Oh, how come a busy man like you has heard about this?"

Murphy said in surprise:

"A mere sinful dwarf shouldn't affect your current decisions, right? Or do those guys have some important secrets?"

"Yes, and it's a big one, Murphy, but it's not the secret you think."

The Lord got off the horse, patted Uncle Aurora and told him to go find a fat bug in the insect swarm for dinner, then followed Murphy to the airship waiting ahead and whispered:
"The city of the Sinful Dwarves is the closest civilized area to the Gray Desert. If there is anyone in this world who knows the most about the mysteries of the Gray Desert, it is definitely them. In fact, the source of the Sinful Dwarves' series of engineering is likely to be in the ruins of the Creation Land in the Gray Desert.

I was working on various strategies for Hive Zero, and I realized that we might need some guidance, not only for Hive Zero in the Gray Desert, but also for the Greenhouse of Life."

The Lord frowned and said:
"The location of the Life Greenhouse recorded in the Eden District has been invalidated. Aurora and I went there in person a few days ago, and there was nothing at the original address. The location provided by the nun is also deserted.

Although it is not possible to run away in such a large area, I suspect that the Greenhouse of Life may have some advanced terrain concealment functions. It would be a waste of time for us to find it by ourselves, so it would be best to have a guide who is familiar with the environment there.

And I strongly suspect that the Sin Dwarves have been near the Greenhouse of Life."

"What's the reason?"

Murphy asked, and the Lord hesitated for a moment and said:
“Their numbers!

In fact, there have been discussions about this matter over the years, but they are limited to some psionicists who are familiar with the sinful dwarves.

You see, it's a simple truth, Murphy.

The Sinful Dwarves are a force composed of criminals exiled from the three tribes of dwarves, but the dwarves are not a prosperous race, and the number of their criminals is not exaggerated. Even after the Brass Fortress was corrupted by the influence of Burning Gold, the exiled criminals could not possibly support a city as big as the Castle of Sin.

You haven't been there, but I have!
It was an area that was slightly smaller than the Brass Fortress but could also be called a giant city. Conservative estimates showed that apart from the huge number of slaves, there were at least 600,000 dwarves in the city!

There is no way the dwarves have so many criminals, and the Sinburgh has only been established for six hundred years at most. Given the dwarves' reproduction cycle, this number simply doesn't match up. Do you understand what I mean?"

"hiss"

Murphy took a breath and said:
"You mean, the Sinful Dwarves not only went to the Greenhouse of Life, but also used the equipment there to expand their own tribe?"

"Well, there is a possibility."

The Lord nodded and said:
"But the most likely possibility is that they have found the broken zone and instruments outside the Greenhouse of Life. After all, even the scholars in the dusk cannot completely restart the Greenhouse of Life. I don't think the Sinful Dwarves have such ability.

After all, they are just a group of criminals who stick together for warmth.

However, considering their technology which is completely different from the engineering of the Halflings, the Sinful Dwarves must have some secrets related to the Creator. If we can figure it out, it will definitely be of great help to our subsequent actions. So, I will go with you.

Embracing Shani for the first time is not an easy task. Even if Shani cooperates wholeheartedly, you will still need to pay at least half of your blood.

I thank you for sparing her life, but your weakness worries me. Perhaps I should lend you the Holy Lance for a long time to keep you safe."

"Come on, my Lord, you almost have the word 'handover' written all over your face. I know you are very tired, but can you please stick to your last shift? As for my weakness, well, those who have strange ideas about me can try.

If they can kill me with the help of the Sentinels of the Order and at least one Iron Primarch protecting them, then I'll accept it."
-
The arrival of Murphy and the Lord made the Sinful Dwarves somewhat worried. They knew that it was impossible for them to fight at the moment, so they could only hope that the two lords could take some correct countermeasures at this time.

However, since the social system of the sinful dwarves is based on slavery, don't expect much democracy. The dwarves' inherently stubborn and conservative character enables them to implement this rigid system flawlessly, allowing these fierce and rebellious guys to miraculously maintain the bad system for hundreds of years without causing any major chaos.

For Murphy, the moment he saw the Burning Heart of Sin, he knew why Heather was trapped here and what this guy wanted to talk to him about.

"Your son is dead, but it has nothing to do with me. Well, who am I kidding? I forced Shorty Loren to death, and he deserved it!"

Murphy leaned on his cane and said to the Sin Lord in front of him, who was wearing a black robe and had various red tattoos on his face:

"But apart from those irreconcilable and fatal contradictions, Loren and I actually still maintain a correspondence between friends. I also know something about his family background. I once fought on the battlefield with his grandfather, your father, and we were pretty good friends.

Only you, sir.

Only you never seem to appear in any description of the Short Marshal!"

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Before Burning Sinheart could say anything, Fenris Wildfist beside him couldn't stand it anymore. The burly fellow smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground and cursed:
"How dare you say such damned filth in front of the dwarves! Apologize! Apologize to the hurt hearts of all the dwarves!"

"Come on, Fenris, the big shots are talking about something, so just be quiet."

Lord Heather cursed:

"Murphy can shout whatever he wants. He is the chosen one of the Creators and also the trainee Creator. He kept calling the Mother Goddess a 'short man', but the Mother Goddess didn't use the power of mountains and rivers to smash his head. Do you know the weight of this?
You idiot!

Be careful Murphy uses his strange powers to rewrite the rules of the material world, or everyone will call us "short people" from now on.

Damn!

Don't irritate him, okay?"

"Can this still happen?"

The grumpy slave owner looked at Murphy in astonishment. Murphy gave him a perfect smile and said in his heart with the power of desire:

"Sure, Mr. Manquan, not only can I let everyone on the continent call you 'short people', I can even change your own ideas and let you call yourselves 'short people'."

"That's enough! You evil tall vampire, you can say whatever you want. I'll just pretend I'm deaf today!"

The great slave owner said viciously:
"But only for today."

While the slave owner opened a bottle of wine and pretended that he heard nothing, the Burning Sin Heart, who was sitting in the cave in front of Murphy, raised his head and stared at him with his slightly cloudy eyes.

Facing Murphy's evaluation of Loren, he, as a father, did not react much, but just said in a cold tone:

"I have never even seen my son. Before he was born, I was exiled by my own father. I was forced to leave my beloved wife and embark on the most shameful path for all dwarves.

I once commissioned the shadow elves to go to my hometown to inquire, and learned that my wife died of excessive grief, and my child was fostered in an orphanage in the Kingdom of Xilan. I wanted so much to bring him back to me.

But unfortunately, Sinburgh is not a suitable place for children to grow up.

My child doesn't know that I have been collecting information about him in various ways.

I knew every piece of news about his growing up, joining the army, fighting, promotion, and victory by heart, until I heard that he was engaged to my niece. I thought my child's life was finally on the right track, but then I received the news of his death.

Sir Murphy, you really can't understand my anger at that time. I even secretly planned to attack Scarlet Castle to vent such anger.
I don't care if he deserves it or not.

I only know that my child died and it was related to you!"

"it is true."

Fenris Wildfist next to him complained:
"Old Loren's behavior during that period scared the other lords. He stockpiled so many explosives that people thought he was going to blow up the entire Sin Castle. But it's a good thing that Loren stockpiled so many explosives, otherwise we might not be able to escape when the bugs come." "So what do you want to do?"

Murphy shrugged, not shaken by the anger of old Loren Burning Heart, and asked:
"Kill me here to avenge your child?"

"I thought about it, but I gave up in the end. I can't defeat the people chosen by this world. Hatred is a real luxury for me now."

Sinheart put his hood back on and said:

"I want you to return my child to me. When the Castle of Sin is reclaimed, I can give him a new life."

"You think too much. Loren is a war criminal. His service in the Xike Underworld Army has just begun."

Murphy refused:
"Even if your Castle of Sin really contains treasures from the Greenhouse of Life that can bring the dead back to life, I will not give you this opportunity! I am Hades, old Loren, and your request just now is already a provocation to death.

I advise you to calm down.

Besides, he left behind descendants, don't you know that? You already have grandchildren.

You missed Loren's entire life, and perhaps this was one of the reasons for the tragedy of the Dwarf Marshal's life, but you still have a chance to leave your regrets to your loved ones, instead of continuing to provoke like you are now and ending up with a miserable end. "

"He left behind any offspring?"

Old Loren immediately looked up at Murphy, and then looked at Lord Paying.

He didn't believe Murphy, but hoped to get a credible answer from the Lord, who was recognized as a man of the scene throughout the continent.

"Yes, Marshal Loren left behind a bloodline."

The Lord nodded and said:
“I’ve been to the Silver Castle. Lady Livrosa is lucky enough to be pregnant with twins. The children are healthy and will be born in a few months. But even Lady Livrosa doesn’t know that you are still alive.

In fact, even your father, Lord Ofug, thought that you had died on the road to exile. It seems that fate wants to compensate you for the first half of your life. Therefore, I advise you, Lord Burning Sin Heart, to accept Murphy's advice and stop stubbornly pursuing the resurrection of Marshal Loren.

That was indeed what he deserved.

Finally, you just revealed a very important piece of information. There is indeed a cloning device in the Castle of Sin, right? Did you find it from the Gray Desert? "

"We didn't find it. It was already there."

Burning Sin's heart was a little agitated and excited, but more of it was apprehensive. He no longer had the indifferent look he had before, and walked around in the cave, and said anxiously:

"I can't tell you this! This is a secret that concerns the survival of the Sinful Dwarves. We must take back the Sinful Castle, otherwise the bugs will destroy those precious artifacts."

"I know you won't tell us this. I know the stubborn temper of dwarves best. The best thing is, I have dealt with dwarves many times, and I know exactly how to convince you."

Murphy clapped his hands, and as an invisible cold wind blew through the cave, the door to the underworld quietly opened beside him, and then a short and strong guy walked out.

He said to old Loren:

"You don't have to tell me that there is another Sin Lord here. I heard that Lord Fenris Wildfist is a true businessman, so the secrets in his hands always have a price. The rest of the time will be left to you two.

Although I am Pluto, I also understand the feelings of separation between life and death. Just consider it as a good deed I did today.

Loren, your father is here, and you may have a lot to say to him, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

After saying that, Murphy made a universal gesture to Lord Fenris Wildfist next to him, who laughed and followed with a bottle of wine.

Lord Heather and Lord Paying also stood up. The moment they walked out of the cave, the Lord looked back at old Loren and the dead short man Loren.

The vampire lord who was once as cold as ice but gradually melted felt a wonderful desire to create. He wanted to paint this scene to commemorate the feelings that could transcend life and death, but he finally shook his head and turned away.

In this quiet cave, the short-man marshal who was temporarily recruited looked at the black-robed dwarf in front of him with a dead look.

He was wearing the armor of a grassroots commander of the Hades Army, carrying a pitch-black skull battle axe on his back, and had no helmet. But the blue spiritual fire in his eyes was quite creepy. He no longer had the hot temper he had when he was alive, and instead was as cold as a piece of ice.

"I finally see you."

Loren said in a dry and hoarse voice:
"If I were still alive, I would have given you a bullet to show my 'missing' for all these years, you coward! You abandoned her and left her alone in that city to die.

She is dead.

She died of a broken heart.

But you didn't even show up at her funeral, just because that old stubborn man exiled you, and you! The most promising earth priest didn't even dare to disobey the order. It seems that in your heart, the mother who loves you deeply is not as good as those damn traditions.

I guess my birth was a mistake, and your meeting with your mother was also a mistake.

I guess, if you were given another chance, would you choose to return to Silver Castle and become the successor of the Supreme Lord, rather than being reduced to a state where you are neither human nor ghost like you are now? "

"That's not my choice, kid."

Old Loren shook his head and said:
"You should not have been born. The tribesmen asked your mother to kill you, but she and I chose to refuse. I gave up everything in exchange for your survival and growth. Don't hate your grandfather. You can't imagine the pressure he was under at that time.

That's the person I feel most guilty about in my life, second only to your mother."

"I have forgiven him."

Loren shook his head and said:
“After I became a general, when I had to consider the soldiers under my command, I understood what he did, but understanding does not mean acceptance, and forgiveness does not mean that nothing had ever happened.

The arrival of death brought me to reason from my deep-seated resentment. I thought I would scold you and insult you, but when I really saw you, I knew that you had a terrible life these years.

You never forget that day, and you never forget your mother.

This is enough!

She did not entrust her passionate feelings to someone who was not worthy, and I do not want my children to suffer the life I once had, so. Father, I hope you can return to them. "

Loren says:
"Return to my grandfather, to my children, and take on the responsibility of teaching and protecting them, and fulfill that responsibility for me. Of course, this means that you have to give up the power you have gained from the sinful dwarves."

"I never cared about that, kid.

Of course I am willing to go back, even if it is just to watch my descendants from afar, even if it is just to stand guard beside your mother's tombstone and eventually die of old age there, and eventually go to the same place as you.

I’m willing to do that.”

Old Loren burst into tears at this moment.

He staggered forward and hugged his dead child, not caring about the cold aura around Loren at all, as if he wanted to make up for all the guilt he had felt over the years.

However, his children could no longer respond to him enthusiastically.

Loren knew he should respond.

But all he could do was raise his hand and pat his father's shoulder in a very rhythmic manner.

This is not Hades.

There is no way to give the dead souls more vivid emotions here.

"When I have done all this, child, when I have done what I must do, when I have helped the brass dwarves return to the arms of the Mother Goddess, I will definitely return."

Old Loren whispered:

"My former willfulness caused the Mother Goddess to lose a successor to the Supreme Lord. My misdeeds caused your grandfather to grow old and not be able to enjoy his old age, and he had to accept the blow of his grandson's death.

I must bring one back for Him!
Do not!
Two of you!

I must help the Landless King and the Brass Dwarves return to the embrace of the Mother Goddess, and I must also find the missing Balder. Only in this way can I make up for what I owe to the Mother Goddess.

After the bills with men and God are settled, whatever I have left will be given to my family.

I swear!
I swear to you, my child.

No one can hurt them anymore, and no one can hurt us anymore."
