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

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

"No...Mr. Rhine, the problem lies with myself...Mr. Rhine, it's obviously hard for you to trust me so much, but...but I don't have the cemetery lily of the valley in my hand..." ."

While speaking, Roderica's little face also fell, full of frustration.

If you want to adjust the souls stored in the ashes, the cemetery lily of the valley is a necessity, just like forging weapons requires forging stones, otherwise no matter how superb your skills are, there will be no way.

However, Roderica was stunned the next second.

In front of her were small white flowers, full of a dreamlike feeling, and the number was so large that she was stunned.

"Mr...Rhine, is this...?"

"Lily of the Valley in the Graveyard, Roderica, aren't you a spiritualist? Don't you even know these people?"

How can it be?

Of course she knew the lilies of the valley in the cemetery, but why were there so many of them?

There are even a few large lilies of the valley in the cemetery, which have been used to comfort heroic spirits since ancient times——

Offer flowers to the greatest death and pray that the hero will eventually become a myth.

She was a little curious about where Reinhard picked these.

You know, there are very few places on the ground where cemetery lily of the valley can grow.

Roderica had all her inner surprise and confusion written on her face, and he could see them all.

So he smiled and explained: "Don't be so surprised. These cemetery lilies of the valley were all picked when I went to the Eternal City some time ago."

Although there are none above ground, there are many underground.

During the days when he and Asumi temporarily stayed in the Eternal City of Nokron, he was not idle very much. When he had time, he would pick some cemetery lily of the valley. By the time he left, he had already picked all the cemetery lily of the valley in the Night God's Domain. Seven, seven, eight, eight.

I still have a lot in my pocket.

"Yes... is it?"

Even with such words, Roderica couldn't suppress her surprise.

This was the first time she had seen so many lilies of the valley in the cemetery since she started learning the spirit-adjusting technique. Even her little heart beat a few times more than expected.

For a spirit tuner like her, the cemetery lily of the valley is the greatest treasure and the most valuable thing in their eyes.

"I didn't expect Mr. Rhine to be able to bring out so many cemetery lilies of the valley in one go. Then I have to work hard and repay Mr. Rhine's kindness!"

Roderica encouraged herself in her heart and vowed to him: "Mr. Rhine, please rest assured that Roderica will definitely live up to your expectations and will definitely work hard!"

Her look reminded him of Kurala.

The two are exactly the same.

At the same time, Roderica carefully collected the cemetery lilies of the valley and was always vigilant about her surroundings, as if she was afraid that others would stare at her most precious treasures.

This made him cry a little.

Is this thing really precious?

He also has a lot of them here. If he takes them out, he will probably scare this cute little red riding hood to faint on the spot.

"By the way, Mr. Rhine, can I ask you to help me with something?"

After putting away all the lilies of the valley in the cemetery, Roderica suddenly asked him and looked at him expectantly.

This made him feel a little puzzled.

"Can you please go and see Mr. Xiugu? Recently, Mr. Xiugu has always muttered some strange things. When I asked him, Mr. Xiugu just said that it was a prayer, but I didn't know the content. I don’t think it’s a prayer…”

"Oh?"

After what Rodrika said, he subconsciously looked towards Xiugu.

Just like what was said, Xiu Gu put down the hammer he had been holding tightly all the time. At this time, he was pressing his hands together on the blacksmith's table, buried his head deeply as if praying, and was still muttering something, but the distance was too large. Far inaudible.

"No problem, leave it to me."

He stroked Rodrika's small head, and then walked towards it.

"...Ah, please forgive me, forgive me. It is not enough to touch the gods. But I will, absolutely will grant your wish...."

As soon as he got close, he heard Xiugu muttering these words.

very familiar.

This is Xiugu confessing to Malika who has disappeared.

Based on all the words Xiugu said to him, Malika once commissioned Xiugu to make a god-killing weapon.

Moreover, only Xiu Gu in the entire border area can use the ancient dragon rock forging stone to forge god-killing weapons.

I remember that for this achievement, he specially collected a set of eclipsed forging stones for Xiugu to forge.

At this moment, Xiugu seemed to have noticed his arrival, stopped praying and raised his head to look at him.

"...Oh, oh, long time no see, haven't you died at the hands of the enemy?"

"Thanks to you, I was lucky enough not to die."

Facing Xiugu's unique way of asking questions, he responded with a smile.

Xiugu said that he could completely understand. On the one hand, the faded people in the Round Table Hall were indeed facing this situation, and they died somewhere in the border area without knowing when.

On the other hand, it is also because Xiu Gu is a hybrid and a captive who does not want to have too many interactions with other people and create too many bonds.

Moreover, with his appearance, many faded people looked down upon him.

"Well...what we have to do is still the same, take out your weapons quickly."

Xiu Gu picked up the forging hammer at hand again, hunched over and started tapping on the anvil, urging him.

The hard old hammer fell on the red-hot iron sheet and splashed out a large number of sparks. However, he remained the same, letting the sparks temper him as if he was feeling the drizzle.

After a long time, he slowly said:

"...Well, I'm not forging weapons today, I just came to see you, Mr. Xiu Gu."

He waved his hands indifferently, then found a shield as a cushion and spread it on the ground to sit on it.

"By the way, do you still have the habit of praying to Malika?"

"....Eavesdropping is not a good habit."

"Although I am a captive of your faded ones, it does not mean that all the time for prayer is deprived."

Although he said this, Xiugu didn't seem to care that much about his offensive eavesdropping.

"You're right."

Reinhard shrugged: "But it was Roderica who was worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you."

"...oh, that kid. Do me an apology to her, old man, for worrying her."

"You can tell it yourself. She would prefer you to say it than me. In little Roderica's mind, Mr. Xiu Gu occupies a very important position."

"..."

When Xiu Gu heard this, his tapping action suddenly slowed down, as if hesitating, and then resumed his original speed and strength.

"...Are you serious? An ugly bastard like me who can only forge weapons is not worthy of anyone's attention."

"What's more, although her name for you has not changed, she treats you as a king in her heart. Shouldn't the king do this kind of job of comforting the people?"

"It's also..."

The Faded One slapped his butt and stood up.

"But, I have too little time to stay in the Round Table Hall, so I hope you can take good care of this little girl on my behalf."

"She respects you very, very much."

I respect you so much that even if the Round Table Hall is about to be burned down, I will die with you...

He said silently in his heart.

"..."

Xiugu stopped the blacksmithing action in his hands, raised his head and looked at him with his slightly golden eyes for a moment, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.

After a long time, he sighed:

"...Well, since you have said so, I, an ugly bastard who can only blacksmith, have no other choice but to agree."

"Thank you, Master Xiu Gu."

"Stop saying unnecessary thanks. If you really want to thank me, then take out your weapon."

"Of course, no problem." A faint smile appeared on Reinhard's face, and he mentally called Melina, who was attached to him, to ask her to hand over the big sword to him.

With a burst of blue particles gathering, the great sword he had obtained in Moren City appeared in his hand and was handed over.

The moment he took the sword, Xiu Gu's movements obviously slowed down, as if he was frozen.

Although this process only takes a short second.

"...Does this sword need to be forged?"

As if he was asking himself, Xiu Gu muttered silently, then threw the sword to the side and heated it in the burning stove.

After it was red-hot, it began to be hammered and tinkled.

Reinhardt was watching from the side, looking at the big sword, observing Xiugu, and asking him the doubts he had always had.

"Master Xiu Gu, don't you think this sword looks familiar?"

"...Nothing looks familiar. Like other weapons, this is just an ordinary sword."

"Really? But I heard that the origin of this big sword is not that simple." He carefully recalled the past of this big sword, and added: "The current Lord Edgar of Moren City gave it to me. He once said to me when he was——"

"It is said that this skeleton sword was once made by a hybrid, and it was a sword of revenge that carried countless lamentations and anger."

"In the past, heroes who lived alone and subjugated their country collected all the weapons of the warriors of their clan and continued to fight while carrying the hatred and ideals of their fellow clansmen. "

His words caused Xiu Gu to pause for a moment, and then he continued to bang, and said dullly: "Really? Then the hybrid who built this weapon is too narrow-minded..."

"Hate will only breed endless hatred, and it will be meaningless in the end."

"Well... what you said makes sense, Mr. Xiu Gu." He nodded in agreement, but then changed his tone: "However, I think this man is a hero among hybrids, a hero worthy of admiration. What do you think? Isn’t it?”
