Although the monster had not yet run up the wall, the young man immediately broke away from the monster that was entangled with him and jumped to her side:

"It's very dangerous here, go to the beacon tower."

Then he looked at the soldiers on the wall and said, "Focus on defense and protect the young lady."

After saying that, he jumped off the city wall again and joined in the siege of the monsters.

Ms. Xilin looked at the young man who jumped into the group of monsters in panic, and opened her mouth to say something that made Louis' body pause for a moment: "Rudelson!"

He felt his head buzzing and almost thought he had heard it wrongly.

With a blank mind, he looked at the young lord who had left, and his thoughts were like a tangled mess that he couldn't sort out.

Is Xilin's husband Lu Ersen?

Is this a coincidence?

still……

No! No matter how you look at it, this can't be a coincidence.

The timing is right.

The period when Mad King Rudelson was active was exactly 100 years ago.

Ms. Xilin also became famous 100 years ago.

This time period is too precise.

And everyone knows that Rudelson is a necromancer that only appears once in a thousand years.

Just now, Rudelson's way of traveling was to use the bone spear directly.

All this was consistent with the image of the Mad King in his memory.

This is not the most important thing.

As the lord of Byron Territory, Rudelson's family should have great reputation in the local area.

As Rudelson's fiancée, it is impossible that Ms. Xilin is unknown in the local area.

The biggest problem is that locals know Xilin’s former residence, but they don’t know the owner of the residence.

This means that the news of the existence of the original lord of Byron Territory was artificially erased from top to bottom.

The only people who could do such a thing in the Enther Empire, and who could do it so cleanly, could only be the royal family.

Considering that the original Lord of Byron was Rudelson...

This way, everything makes sense.

He slapped his head and said:

"In fact, I should have noticed something unusual a long time ago."

The background of the painting "Snow Country Border" was originally that Ms. Xilin watched her husband fighting on the city wall, and then painted the pale wall of Byron County.

He originally thought that Lady Silin's husband was a noble knight who participated in the defense.

But therein lay a detail which he had never thought of.

Ms. Silin depicted most of the city walls.

It is said that the painting originally included a scene of soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

Considering the size of the painting, it is impossible to make out the people in it.

If Ms. Xilin was just a wife who missed her husband, then what she should have depicted was her husband's brave figure on the battlefield.

But what Ms. Celine depicted was a large stretch of city wall.

This shows that in her eyes, this long city wall is equivalent to her husband.

Or rather...

It was her husband's mission to guard the entire wall.

If Louis didn't know that the young man was Rudelson, it would be difficult for him to deduce this conclusion from such subtle thoughts.

On the city wall, a soldier said to Xilin: "Miss, come over here."

"Don't worry, sir. You are the pride of our city."

Louis looked down.

Rudelson was fighting with the monsters that were besieging the city.

He didn't even use his staff. He summoned a large number of bone spurs with just a wave of his hand, mowing the field.

Until he faced the huge bull-headed chief.

A soldier sighed:

"That is the most troublesome monster that has appeared recently. Its strength far exceeds that of our regular soldiers."

"Because it's so strong, we can't hurt him."

"And its recovery ability is too amazing. Even you, the Excellency, cannot kill it with one blow."

Xilin on the city wall watched this scene quietly. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and took out a booklet from her backpack.

She picked up a pencil, looked at the monster below, and began to draw quickly.

On the battlefield below, soldiers and monsters were fighting.

Above the fireworks stand, a girl is painting.

When it was all over, Rudelson checked on the soldiers below.

The soldier on the wall who had been focusing on defense finally took a breath and looked at Xilin beside him: "Miss, we will take you to see the Excellency, eh? Miss?"

Xilin had already run down the city wall and out of the city gate.

She came to Rudelson, panting.

Rudelson was talking to the soldiers at this time.

"Are there any wounded?"

"A dozen soldiers were slightly injured."

Hearing the footsteps, Rudelson turned his head and looked towards the city gate: "Xilin, why are you here instead of staying upstairs?"

Xilin took out a handkerchief from her bag and gently wiped his bloody cheek.

Seeing Xilin's worried eyes, Rudelson's expression became much gentler.

"Okay, I'm fine now."

He reached out and grabbed Xilin's wrist.

After a moment he frowned and said, "Xilin...why are your hands so cold? Did you just lose your shawl there?"

The knights standing by stared at each other in amazement.

It was obvious that he had never seen Rudelson take care of a woman.

Or rather... I won't take such care.

Xilin raised her head and said weakly, "I don't feel cold either!"

Rudelson frowned and searched:

"Here, a gift for you."

He put a necklace made from the hard bones of a monster on the girl.

"This..." *NThe soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield nearby opened their mouths so wide that eggs could be stuffed in.

"How is this possible!!!" Rudelson's face quickly darkened.

"The guy who just screamed, go run 50 laps on the training ground."

There was screaming at the scene.

Xilin tilted her head and looked at the necklace in front of her. The monster's bones were extremely hard and looked like white jade.

At the bottom of the necklace hung a polished dark green stone.

"What's this?"

She asked curiously. Rudelson replied: "The magic cores of the northern characteristic monsters came from the same dungeon. After that dungeon was destroyed, some monsters flowed into the northern border and multiplied and grew."

"If you kill them, there's a chance you'll find this thing in their bodies."

"But this thing is also a rare item among the monsters that are subjugated, and it is rarely circulated in the market."

Xilin held the magic core tightly in both hands and said hesitantly: "It is a rare item that can only be found when defeating monsters. Can you really give it to me?"

Rudelson: ...

He covered his face, glanced to the side and said:

"I don't know where to start explaining to you... Well, in our Byron Territory, there is a custom that people with weak bodies can wear this kind of magic core to recuperate their bodies."

"ah……"

Rudelson smiled and said, "Xilin, I hope you will always be healthy."

Xilin showed a warm smile on her face, but her eyes darkened.

But she still smiled and said, "Thank you for your gift. I am very happy."

Louis grumbled to himself.

Even though he was so tired, he still knew how to express his feelings.

What a pity.

The friendship of the tsundere boy happened to run into Xilin, a girl who didn't quite understand human nature.

But Ms. Xilin was too stupid to see it.

Forehead……

Not necessarily.

Louis sighed.

Ms. Celine's story is a thing of the past.

History told him that Ms. Xilin died of illness at a very young age.

Even Rudelson, who claimed to be able to resurrect the dead, was unable to save his lover.

Louis paused.

Suddenly I felt a bone-chilling cold.

"Why did Rudelson start the plague of the living dead?"

At its peak, the plague of the living dead affected an area that occupied one-fifth of the continent's land.

It is for this reason that Rudson is called the number one villain in the new millennium.

In the Enther Empire, the name of the Mad King is more effective than a water monkey in stopping a baby from crying at night.

The reason why the Mad King frantically summoned the living dead was that he wanted to take back his lover who was taken away from Slaanesh.

He knew about this.

But at that time he didn't know that his lover was Ms. Xilin, the first genius in the art world of the new millennium.

Ghost.

If that's the case, then there's a big problem.

He sorted out the timeline.

About a hundred years ago, Ms. Silin and Rudelson met.

They had a great time together.

However, due to unknown reasons, Ms. Xilin fell into the abyss.

Later, in order to bring back his wife who had fallen into the abyss, the Mad King launched the infamous "Bloody Ten Days" in an attempt to counterattack the abyss.

Later, Rudelson was attacked by the Church and the Emperor intervened in the war.

In the end, the Mad King died under the Emperor's hammer.

There is a doubt here.

If Ms. Xilin's genius disease is really incurable, then she will inevitably die.

Even if Rudelson rushed into the bottomless abyss, it would be of no use.

Because his lover had died long ago, the best he could do was bring back her soul.

But if the soul cannot be reincarnated as soon as possible, it will soon become an undead.

It is hard to say whether the undead can still be called human beings.

so……

"So it's really as everyone guessed, Rudelson really has mastered the method of resurrecting the dead and can reverse life and death?"

Louis' eyes widened.

This possibility is very high.

He had previously speculated that the news about the former lord of Byron Territory was blocked because Rudelson was an Enther.

But now that I think about it, this statement is strange.

Because there are many forces on the continent who know that Rudelson is an Enser.

Even many people among the people know about it.

Is it necessary to hide the identity of the former Lord of Byron County for this? But if it is because of the Book of the Dead that can perfectly resurrect the dead, then it is different.

There are too many tragedies caused by "The Book of the Dead".

If the relationship between Rudelson and Lady Sirin were exposed, smart people would soon speculate that Rudelson really had a glimpse of the power of the God of Death.

The fight over "resurrection" will inevitably sweep the whole world.

This is a temptation that no one can resist.

If one could be resurrected at will, then it could be said that the door to eternal life had been opened.

Even among the top strong people, there are many pitiful people who have lost a large number of relatives, lovers and close friends in the process of their growth.

Just look at himself and you will know.

If Beatrice died, he would set off a wave of destruction on the world and turn her into a member of the Cursed Legion to accompany him forever.

Forehead……

It would seem the same if something went wrong with the little swan.

Alice is his good friend, so she has to be resurrected after she dies.

Grace is such a well-behaved girl, and if he really has the chance to revive her, he will not miss it.

What about William?

Where is Qian?

Where is Mr. Gino? Louis rubbed his brow.

If something happened to these people, he couldn't guarantee that he would not do the same thing as Rudelson.

...At the very least, you have to make the same choice as Mentor Rogge.

So what would those crazier people do? This may be the truth behind why Rudelson's real name has been buried.

Even the Emperor doesn't want a group of mad dogs staring at him and demanding that he hand over the Book of the Dead.

But for some reason, he always felt that there were some hidden factors that he was not aware of.

Just as he was lost in thought, a carriage slowly approached on the desolate main road in the distance.

The carriage stopped in front of Rudelson and Ms. Celine.

"Long time no see, Rudelson... and this lady who is blessed by God."

The carriage door was opened and a priest in a white robe stepped out.

Louis saw the emblem on him.

That is the pastor of the Church of Love.

But after paying a few more glances, he sensed something was wrong.

First of all, the aura hidden in this pastor is quite powerful.

"Legendary priest?"

Gui Gui, this was the first time he met the first legendary priest other than the Pope of Glory.

Rudelson was also curious and asked, "Archbishop, why are you here?"

"As a cardinal, it's not a good idea to leave your diocese at will, right?"

Louis suddenly realized.

If it is a cardinal, then there is no problem with this strength.

It is normal for the first-tier pastors under the Pope, or for a large sect like the Church of Eros, to be legends.

The cardinal apologized, “You should know that believers in the God of Love will always fight for the good of the world.”

“So, I came here today.”

His eyes turned to Xilin.

Rudelson's face darkened visibly, and he protected Xilin behind him: "What do you want to do?"

Seeing his protective expression, the cardinal's curious look became even more intense.

"You kid...haha, not bad, not bad."

Rudelson looked at him with a dark face, as if he was looking at a lunatic.

Bishop Eros didn't care and said with a smile:

"I hope I can be your witness at your wedding."

"The combination of love and beauty, nothing can make me happier than this!"

Xilin tilted her head, looking like a fool who didn't understand.

Rudelson coughed and quietly turned his head aside.

The base of the ears looks a little red.

Although no one could see Louis, he was eating the melon happily.

Pure love!

This is real pure love! Damn it, what are you two still doing there? Hurry up and get married! Just when he wanted to eat more, time began to speed up again.

Just reminding you if there are any typos. I will correct them tomorrow. I am not feeling well, so I am going to bed first.
