“It's okay, let's go, go find the steam lords and continue working, and you didn't hear anything just now! Unless you are willing to meet Lord Paying with the holy spear on a sleepless night to discuss the harsh agreement to keep secrets.”
“ah? what are you talking about？”
Captain Paula asked with clear eyes：
“I seem to have suffered from intermittent deafness or was too nervous just now. In short, I don't have time to pay attention to you at all, okay? This sewer is so dangerous. There seems to be something terrible hidden in the darkness. It almost scares me to death..”
“Okay, I just wanted to thank you for your help..”
Murphy raised his eyebrows and blinked, and followed Paula along the sewer to the central area of the city. At the same time, he felt in his heart that the resonance of ancient memories this time was quite serious..
Although he watched the awkward story between Edward and Ms. Constance, at least he didn't cause the dilemma between himself and Shani. That's good. If he continues to be entangled like this, Murphy will have more than ten mouths to explain..
This made him feel strangely better.
However, there is still a little weird regret. Speaking of the first three embarrassments, Shani's emotional changes are quite interesting, from anger and shock at the beginning, to resistance and resistance, to despair the third time.
Oops, I can’t think about it anymore, Murphy, Murphy, you are a vampire lord with status! He is a gentleman who respects women very much. You are so disgraceful that you are full of pornographic waste.！
He warned himself like this and followed Paula up the sewer escalator..
As a result, just halfway through the climb, a weird dizziness emerged from his brain. Murphy felt bad and cursed how there was a second half of this memory resonance.！
He had already guessed what was going to happen next. As Captain Paula screamed, the vampire lord fell down the escalator and hit the ground with a thud..
The memory scroll in front of me slowly unfolded, and it unfolded from Edward's perspective..
At this time, Edward, who was carrying two gifts, was walking vigorously in the cabin of the Scarlet Dawn, intending to give the fine protective gear he made to Salokdar and his wife Oksana as their gift for this trip. A reward for transporting the craftsmen of Eden District to the Creation Engine, and improving his relationship with Sarokdar..
The conflict between the two of them has been going on for a long time.
Before the vampire's home planet was destroyed, the two men and their respective clans had been hostile for thousands of years..
Edward and Salokdar were contemporaries, and there was always some kind of competition between the two geniuses. Coupled with the cumbersome, ancient, and sinister cultural promotion of the vampires, this competition gradually turned into hostility..
However, those past grudges have disappeared like smoke from the past after the explosion of the mother star..
The vampire's master craftsman walked to the bridge where Sarokdar was. He was about to call the door when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside..
Edward's expression suddenly changed slightly.
He already guessed what Salokdar and Oksana were doing inside..
This guy showed a weird smile, put the gift box in his hand at the cabin door, and then turned around to leave..
He was not a sultry guy like Charlemagne and liked to listen to the wall. However, just when Edward took a few steps, he saw Ms. Constance wearing "simple clothes" leaning against the door of her cabin, holding a folder in her hand. smoking an unlit ladies cigarette.
She said to Edward with a complaining look on her face：
“The sound insulation of this spaceship is also very poor. I really shouldn’t have chosen this place. Those two guys were particularly excited today. They were so noisy that I couldn’t sleep. You just happened to be here.”
“Well, the craftsmen are still waiting for me to go back for a meeting..”
Edward smiled awkwardly, but in the next moment, Ms. Constance grabbed his tie and pulled him into the cabin..
Well, this Ancient Memories is actually a linkage between the first and second episodes..
But Murphy has no time to pay attention to this anymore..
Because of some special "memory meme" properties of ancient memories, when Edward intervened in that incident, his mind was also pulled back into Salokdar's body, and the Scarlet Dawn switched to the luxury of autonomous driving. In the bridge, he looked at Ms. Oksana riding on him through Salokdar's eyes..
The complex look in the other person's eyes means that there is another "implicated" soul in this tempting body at the moment..
“This time it was really an accident.”
Murphy used the resonance of his soul to convey his sincere apology, he said：
“You believe me! I really didn't mean it.”
“Stop talking, I believe you are not in Transia at all now, and there is no way you can do bad things..”
Shani's heartbroken voice came from the other side, she asked：
“So who did you meet that activated the memory resonance? Let me guess, old Edward didn't actually have amnesia and you just met him, right?？”
“Um? how did you”
“Ms. Oksana discovered this secret more than eight hundred years ago. What I didn’t tell you is that of the six times she went to the ruins of the Eden District, the last two were with Edward. Don’t worry, Murphy.
Edward is not a bad person.
At least he's not the kind of bad guy who needs all our attention..
Damn it！
Hurry up this time, okay?？
I'm in a meeting with the wolf girl. You'd better not make me too embarrassed in front of my juniors.”
——
At the same time, on the position in the outer city of Port Chardeau.
Lord Paying put down the psychic whetstone in his hand, touched the sharp blade of the holy spear with his fingers, then stood up and prepared to end the matter, but at the same time, a knock on the door sounded..
“Come in.”
The Lord said something.
The next second, old Edward pushed the door in and closed the door smoothly..
Lord Paying stared at him, his eyes complex and with a hint of severity that could not be ignored. Edward knew that if he didn't come up with something real today, I'm afraid his thousands of years of life would end here..
Paying is really angry.
Such murderous intent reminded him of the years before the fall of the Land of Glory, the last fortress on his home planet. Ah, the blood-stained "Lord of Discipline" is still as impartial, indifferent and inviolable as in those faded memories..
Under the stern gaze, Edward took out the diary that he never left behind, turned to the first few pages, and handed it to the Lord..
The latter took it in his hand and glanced at it. There were more than fifty names written on it..
More than 40 of them are marked with red lines.
“I've killed them myself, on every hunt over the past thousand years.”
Edward moved his wrist and said hoarsely：
“Searching day after day, tracking day after day, and seeking day after day, we pulled out those bastards who killed Constance from the nooks and crannies of this chaotic era, and then gave them to her in the most terrifying way. their most painful and prolonged death.
I didn't tell you because the secret department is still operating secretly..
Compared with their long-standing threat, Dusk is nothing more than a group of clowns under the guise of destroying the world..
The hunt continues, Paying.
I now formally invite you to complete it with me. There are not many left, and I will willingly accept your judgment when the last one howls to death..”
“What I'm more curious about is why Constance did that！”
Lord Paying looked at the bloody records in the diary. He looked at Edward and said：
“And, why are you doing this?？”
“I don't know and I don't care, I just know that Constance was killed by them.”
Edward lowered his head and touched the well-maintained but very old pair of gauntlets on his hands. He said in a choked tone.：
“As for why I am. You see, after losing the focus of my life, I have to find something to do for myself to avoid being swallowed up by the endless emptiness. I am not as selfless as you, Paying. The life and death of other people has nothing to do with me..
However, in this ruin where joy is gone, endless waiting is more unbearable than eternity..
So I ask you one last time.”
Lord Wolfsbane grasped the hilt of the thorn of fear at his waist.
He stared at Lord Paying and said in a deep voice：
“You were the last person to see Constance, tell me! Paying, is she really dead?？”
“She's dead, Edward.”
The Lord said coldly：
“It disappeared in front of me. It was just a clone that accompanied us out of the Eden District, and she eventually embarked on the road of self-destruction..”
“I don't believe it! A person as wise as her will always leave a way out for herself. She must still be waiting for me somewhere in this world.！”
Edward took a deep breath, released his weapon, and said to the Lord：
“If you don't plan to kill me today, then please forgive me for resigning. I will continue to walk and search every corner of the world..
I will meet her again.
I promised her I would find her in the next life！”
“Explain things clearly before leaving！”
“It's all in the diary. You can read it yourself. I know why you are so angry, but even if I say it, I can't save those who should have died. The destruction of Eden District represents the end of an era. We, the remnants, They should all die with that era.
That's our final outcome.
You and me.
Paying, we will all die miserably in a pool of our own blood like them, but this time, I will not allow myself to set foot on that road alone.”
