Weapon possession is not uncommon in this era, but it is limited to magical weapons. Like Allen's slaughter in the past, the assassination now. The Rubik's Cube sequence is activated by inputting the source force, so that the weapon has the ability of a certain nature. Demon Salute was definitely not a magical weapon, and in the few days he spent in Sanda Town, Alan had examined the dagger in his spare time.

It doesn't have disassembled components like magic weapons, so naturally there won't be a Rubik's Cube sequence. What's more, this dagger is all in one. The blade, the grip, and even the demonic gem at the end, Eren couldn't find a single seam to connect, which made the boy unable to imagine how it was forged.

Going back to the ability aspect, at that time, Eren and the killer were desperate, and the spirit was basically focused on the combat aspect. Therefore, many details of the past were ignored before, until the killer caught the demon and saluted, Alan could clearly feel that the killer's blood and qi source power was absorbed by the dagger, and channeled a trace of pure life source power into his body in some way of knowing it.

It is a power that has no attributes, and is infinitely close to the origin of life. It was full of life, and as soon as it entered Allen's body, it eased his injuries. That feeling, like Eren directly using a dagger to extract the other party's life force, is full of evil flavor.

The dagger is like a mystery, and the man who praised the devil to his mother is a huge mystery.

Who is he? Was the demonic praise his own, or did he get it from somewhere? A series of questions almost burst little Allen's head, and a wave of exhaustion hit him, and he yawned and finally fell asleep.

Alan slept deeply, and the night fell quietly outside the window, and the boy still didn't know anything. The room was softly lit, the Demon Salute rested quietly on the table, and the picture in the room seemed to freeze at a point, no more time passed, and the picture did not change at all. Until the demon gem at the end of the dagger suddenly flashed with a reddish light, and at the same time, the door quietly opened.

Horn walked in, his footsteps silent. Gently setting his felt hat and cane aside, he sat down in front of Alan's bed and looked at the sleeping boy on the bed. The contour of the side face made Horn seem to see his daughter Lanny, and his chest ached slightly for no reason.

The patriarch of Bethcord sat quietly and did not wake Alan.

Alan woke up suddenly, and by the time he rolled over and sat up, Hoth had already left. On the bedside table was a glass filled with warm water and a faint heat of smoke was rising. Looking at this cup, Alan seemed to understand something.

During his hospitalization, Allen had quite a few guests. Adele and Regis are mostly regulars, and the former never forgets to remind Alan how timely her bombardment was and how badly the killer hung up. At the end, he would look at Alan with sparkling eyes, and then point to a certain product on some fashion e-magazines to show how much he liked it. So today, Allen's e-bill has some more gadgets that Adele likes; As for Regers, he is very concerned about Allen's body, but every time after the greeting, it is inevitable to add something like "I really want to fight with you again", so Alan will inevitably guess the real meaning behind his greetings and concern.

There were a few other members of the family who had visited Allen, and Kodorf had come quite often. And every time he came, Alan noticed that he was carrying a different female companion, and Kodoff was equally concerned about Alan's body. Slightly different from Regers, he always said, "Brother, get better soon." It's not easy for you to meet girls. ”

Barney, the captain of the guard, also came once, and it was a solemn meeting. That day, Alan took two nameplates from Barney, with the names of Arnold and Diman on them. In the attack that day, Arnold was killed instantly. Diman was shot in the chest and died on the spot, but he could not survive to reach the hospital and died on the way.

Barney told him that the family had just paid a pension to the families of the two deceased. But for him, it was the return of these two nameplates to his family that really saddened him.

After Barney left, Alan didn't say a word for an entire afternoon.

Back at Ugal Fort, it's already a month after the attack.

"Young master, I'll put your things here for you." The housekeeper Helsing asked several male servants to neatly arrange Allen's clothes and armament boxes in the living room, and said, "The master asked me to tell you that you will have a good rest this week." Next week, you'll get a report from Dawn's Blade, and the lord has already taken care of the formalities for you to enroll. ”

"I see, thank you, Mr. Helsing." Alan nodded.

"Then it's okay, I'll take my leave first."

"Wait a minute." Alan stopped him, "Can you help me get Barney?" ”

Helsing looked at him, nodded and said, "In 10 minutes, you can see him in the training area." ”

When Alan came to the family training area, he hadn't seen Barney yet, and he bumped into Regers. Seeing him scream with joy, Regis ran over and dragged him by the hand and said, "Go, Alan." Let's go and see if lying in the hospital for a month will rust your body. ”

"Another day." Alan grabbed him and said, "I'm here to find Barney." ”

Seeing this, Regers had no choice but to let go and say, "Then I'll practice by myself." ”

After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Allen, they are family warriors. From the moment every samurai joins the family, they are ready to sacrifice for the family. Correspondingly, the family will provide them with promotion channels and give their families a good living environment. If they die in battle, the family will give them a subsidy and take proper care of their family. So, you don't have to worry too much. ”

With that, Regis walked straight away. Alan smiled bitterly, he didn't know this. But for Regis, Arnold and Diman were just family warriors, and it was a matter of course to sacrifice for their masters if necessary. But he was never born into this ancient family, and could not share the same ideas as Regess.

For Allen, it was a killing game against him. Arnold and Diman are innocently involved, and they will die because they are with them. So for Allen, he felt that he had indirectly killed two fighters.

"Master Regis is right." Barney's voice sounded behind him: "Young Master Allen, you don't really have to worry too much about Arnold and Diman. ”

Alan turned around and asked, "Did you return the nameplate to the family?" ”

Barney smiled bitterly, "I was just about to send it." ”

"Take me, then."

Like the other family guards, Arnold and Diman's family is in the small town of Lewin. Barney took Alan to visit two families, and Alan watched silently throughout the whole process. Arnold is the father of three children, the youngest of whom is only two years old and is still held in his mother's arms. When the mother took Arnold's nameplate, she cried silently.

As for Diman, he has not yet started a family. There was only one elderly mother in the family, and when he received the Diman nameplate, the old man did not cry, but only sighed.

For Bethcord, it may just be the lack of two slightly more powerful guards, but judging from the huge number of family guards, the death of two people is actually an inconsequential thing. However, for the two families, they can no longer see their loved ones, and they can only remember them through photos or memories in the future.

And this is only a guard who died in a surface mission, and looking at Bescord's family history, how many guards should have died for this family? Alan thought it would probably be a suffocating number, whether there were bones buried under the foundations of Ugal Castle. And in the conquest of the outer lands, how many sacrificed warriors could not return to their hometowns?

On the way back, Alan was silent. When he saw Ugal Castle again, he had a whole new idea of his family.

"Young master, are you alright?" Barney looked at Alan with some concern, he looked too different from the young masters of other families, big and small. At least, Nick had never seen a young master personally return the nameplate of a dead guard to his family. But I have to say that this young master's approach has won his respect, not to mention that the emotions in his eyes along the way are not contrived, but sincere.

Alan shook his head and took a deep breath: "I'm fine, thank you for involving me in these things today." These things have taught me a vivid lesson, and at least I have understood what kind of responsibility I should bear for every command and every action in the future. ”

"As for Arnold and Diman, it's not going to be left at that. They are warriors, and even if they have to die, the battlefield is their home, not inexplicably dying under cold guns. Alan raised his head and looked up at the towering castle: "I know that my ability is limited now, and I can't respond. But no matter how much time passes, I'll give them an answer. The person who instructed this qiē behind his back, one day, he must pay with blood! ”

Barney's body shook slightly, looking at the still slightly thin back of the young man in front of him, but he seemed to see another Horn. At that time, Horn was able to go on an expedition to Joton, leaving behind an immortal reputation and pushing Beth Kod to the top in one fell swoop. Being able to do this, Horn and his Thirteen Secret Warriors naturally took great credit. But the key lies in Horn's way of domination.

He didn't see the family warriors as just consumables, or even just numbers, like other family patriarchs. Horn regarded each samurai as a comrade-in-arms and a companion, and even more so with the thirteen secret samurai. It was with these close ties that Horn's family army at that time could exert its extraordinary combat power and plant Bethcord's Lion Eagle Banner in the chaotic battlefield of the Yotun Star Field!

For a family warrior like Barney, there is no regret in dying for a confidant. I1387
