Silver handed the recast faith to the girl. "You saved the children of the Gale Regiment, and I was wondering how to thank you. Since this sword was left behind by your father, I think it's better to return it to you. "
When Luo Luo received the sword, the scene seemed to appear before her eyes once again. On the black altar, the man had set himself on fire in the most resolute manner, all for the sake of his revenge.
The girl stretched out her hand, wanting to grab the corner of the man's clothes, but there was nothing in the air.
"Oh, by the way, I can repair the broken sword you're carrying," the old man said. "I didn't mean to refuse before, but personally, I don't like blacksmithing very much. My father used to be a great blacksmith, but he put all his energy into blacksmithing and neglected his family. I don't want to become like him, so I only forged weapons for a period of time when I first moved to Armored Rock City to support my family. As my husband's business got on the right track, I closed my blacksmith shop and swore never to forge weapons again. However, I made an exception for your father's sword once, and since that's the case, there's no reason for me to refuse another sword that shares the same origin as it."
Silver opened the tarp and examined the fracture on the blade. "This sword was broken in the middle, so it's easier to repair. Fortunately, there's still some leftover materials. It'll only take about a month and a half to completely repair it. You can stay in the city for a while. There's a guest room upstairs."
Lolo shook her head. "We don't plan to stay in Armored Rock City for too long. Please send this sword to the Bretton family in the north after you've repaired it."
Vengeance and Faith were different. Vengeance was the sword of every master of the Bretton family. When Lolo relinquished the position of master, she had thought about it.
She had given this sword to Onsai, but it was accidentally broken on the peak of Anarep. Now that Silver had promised to repair it, Lolo did not plan to keep it anymore.
As Karov's last sword, Faith was undoubtedly more meaningful to her.
Lolo solemnly thanked the old man again.
Silver waved his hand. "You don't have to thank me. I just happened to pass by. I should thank your father instead. You know, he disappeared when I was very young. I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate him, but after seeing that sword that day, I understood many things. Some people don't come back not because they don't love you, but because they can't come back for some reason."
Luo Luo thought of Constantine. The reason the latter had been imprisoned in the secret prison of Orgreenwich was because he had made a deal with the Temple. He was using this method to protect his daughter from harm by the Church.
Constantine had exhorted them not to speak of him to his daughter; but neither Rob nor Lolo wished to see the tragedy of Silver's continuing hatred of her father; and it now appeared that their fears might have been superfluous.
Some love transcended words and time. No one had told Silver all this, but somehow, she had already touched upon the truth.
Under Silver's insistence, Rob and Lolo had dinner at the old man's house. They even met the old man's son and Lulu, who had just returned from outside.
Lulu was very excited when she saw the two. Although there had been an accident on the way, the members of the Gale Group had persevered and completed the expedition. Lulu had returned three months earlier than the two.
The bracelet on her hand was the spoils of war she had brought back. It was impossible for it to be a secret treasure. After such a long time, most of the treasures on the first floor had been plundered by the adventurers. The girl had found this bracelet in a ruin in the inner city. It was probably left behind by some unlucky person.
Although it was not worth much, it was still a reward from their first adventure. Lulu treasured it very much and wore it on her wrist.
After dinner, the two declined the old man's invitation to stay and left the house. By now, the outside of the house was filled with stars.
Armored Rock City was indeed one of the largest cities in the north. Even at this late hour, there were still many people running small businesses on the streets. Luo Luo blew on her hands and raised her head to look at the street lights and the passersby in a daze.
"Are you sleepy?" asked Rob.
The girl shook her head.
"Then let's take a walk." The future Supreme Magister Your Honor said, "Speaking of which, this should be your first time here. I can show you around."
Lolo nodded and hugged Faith in her arms.
Luo Bu led the way in front. After taking two steps, he asked again, "Have you changed your mind?"
"What?"
"We agreed to find a place to live in seclusion after this matter is over. Do you still think so?"
The girl was silent for a long time before she spoke again. "Father never wanted me to get involved in this matter, so he kept his investigation from me. I always thought that it was the work of the Temple of Light, but I didn't expect him to be so close to the truth. I was just thinking, what was going through his mind when he found the murderer?"
Rob listened quietly.
Lolo paused. "Deep down in my heart, of course I hope that he can still live in this world, because he is my father. His blood flows in my veins. But isn't this a little too selfish? I've seen how he was tormented by hatred. Perhaps such an outcome wasn't too bad for him. After his mother died, his heart died along with her. The only thing that kept him going was his obsession to swing that sword. "
"That sword was indeed very courageous." Rob said. "The thing in the blood cloud is very likely different from the one we encountered on the mountain top. It's not just a clone, it's very likely that it's that bastard's main body. I don't know how your father did it, but I've never seen that black altar in any ancient records. Perhaps this explains why its clone was so angry when it saw the Vengeance in your hand. It was because its main body was heavily injured by Faith of the same origin."
