Chapter 1211: 409. Insight of the Wolf God’s Eye_3
"Twilight again?"
The Valande Knight furrowed his brow.
He was one of the few in Transylvania who knew about Twilight and had directly faced the Twilight forces. In the shattered castle of Westerburg, he had seen the old Earl transformed into a Netherworld Lord by Twilight.
For this rough yet clear-hearted Knight, Twilight was the enemy he must track and defeat.
The two entered a cave.
The ancestral bones of the First Generation Count of Xike, which had been retrieved by minor players, were temporarily stored here. Ellen intended to transfer the remains into the renovated mausoleum afterward.
Upon seeing the reorganized bones, Turner immediately stepped forward, reciting the name of the God of the North Wind to obtain the "special vision" granted by the Divine Spirits.
His eyes shone green in the darkness, like those of a wild beast, and as Turner reached out to touch the bones that had weathered over three hundred years, the hidden details quickly revealed themselves.
"The mark of ’Twilight Servant’ has been stamped; only the resurrection ritual of the deceased is needed, then the First Generation Count Xike will become an Undead servant controlled by Twilight.
Fortunate that you reclaimed him, otherwise we’d face another ancient Fury of the Gold Stage, which would have turned into a disaster."
A few minutes later, Turner said in a low tone,
"It might be the work of Tomb Robbers, but I lean more towards the idea that those fools sent to their doom didn’t understand the implications of their actions.
The remains of the First Count need to be purified! There’s no doubt about that."
He turned back to the Valande Knight and asked,
"Will you use the Power of Nature, or should I request eternal ice from the God of the North Wind here?"
"Count Ellen has already made a decision. The ancestral bones need to be sent back to Wam’s Temple in Ice Bay, where the Berserker Priests will cleanse the remains of the First Count."
Valande gestured with his hand,
"It’s not just because the First Count was a Berserker of Wam his whole life. Count Ellen also wants to use this incident to inform the Barbarian Priests in the Ice Bay Area about the presence of malevolent spirits.
We Xike People have blood ties with them; it’s a warning we must give."
"Hmm, very cautious thinking."
Turner did not reject the response; he said,
"Then I must erase the breath of the North Wind God left here, otherwise the Wam Priests might consider these remains ’contaminated’ by the North Wind God."
Turner was referring to the conflict between the Berserker Wam and the North Wind God, Su.
It was a clash between Divine Spirits, for Wam and Su both shared aspects of "war" and "hunting" in their divine roles, leading to a tense relationship between the two gods.
This conflict, born of tremendous power, cast its impact onto the material world as a centuries-long feud between the Winter Wolf Religion and the Wam Priests, affecting the territorial disputes between the Nord and West Sacha people as well.
The Nordtov Kingdom, although it had conquered the Great Wilderness, faced a ’Savage Land’ to the north nearly as vast as the kingdom itself—unspoiled by civilization and ruled by West Sacha Barbarians and fierce northern creatures.
Although the Barbarians had never established their own nation, the collective number of their tribes was enough to send chills down the spine of even the bravest Nord.
One significant reason the successive kings of Nordtov Kingdom did not advance the war further into the Continent was the ongoing standoff and war along the border with the West Sacha Barbarians.
Even the wise and decisive Wolf Queen could not devise a strategy to crush the Barbarians in one fell swoop.
The vitality of those Barbarians was as resilient as the Perpetual Winter Land they trod upon.
"Hm, Lord Turner, you have arrived quite early."
As Iron Fist Tenna and the Valande Knight were exchanging bits and pieces about the twilight, with the crimson screen drawn aside, Murphy leaning on his staff-sword and Triss also appeared in the guarded cave.
Upon seeing Murphy, Valande and Tenna ceased their exchange to salute His Excellency, Governor. Murphy waved his hand, also having a purpose for his visit.
The Vampire Lord glanced at the skeleton that had already been inspected and asked,
"So, has it been confirmed?"
"Yes."
Tenna adjusted his hood, saying,
"It’s confirmed to be related to the twilight, the remains already bear the mark. I must next visit the Kafuhoka Plains to inquire into the Snegov family who sent out the Tomb Robber. If they have succumbed to the lure of twilight, then in the name of the North Wind God, I will grant them freedom from the abyss."
"It’s necessary."
Murphy nodded, then added,
"But you can’t go alone, I know you’re confident in your strength, but facing a mafia family with underhanded methods, you as an upright Martial Monk could easily be led into a trap.
Especially with the background of the suspects joining the twilight.
Someone from the Thorn Clan will accompany you, Kafuhoka is now under the Wolf Queen Majesty’s domain, her shadows have forces that will assist us.
Additionally, the warriors of the Shadow Trace Sect will also accompany you to Kafuhoka."
The Vampire Lord emphasized,
"You were friends with them, you should be able to trust the ’honor’ they hold in their hearts, and the warriors’ fearlessness of death means they can play a crucial role in the pursuit against twilight."
Tenna remained silent for a moment, then asked,
"So, in your plan, will the Shadow Trace Sect become your force in hunting down twilight?"
"I haven’t decided yet whether to bestow them with this heavy responsibility."
Murphy stroked his chin, replying,
"However, they chose that name themselves, didn’t they? In their legends, the Shadow Trace Sect’s duties in another world are closely related to curbing malevolent spirits.
This might be a twist of fate.
Still, I must request of you, Lord Tenna, please take good care of my ’heroes.’ This is their first time traveling far, and it’s good for them to broaden their horizons."
"Yes, I will do that."
Tenna solemnly agreed, but then added,
"However, there’s also the shadow of the Thieves Guild in this matter, so this thread..."
"Count Andrei will handle it; his Thorn Clan has always had a significant standing within the Thieves Guild."
Murphy glanced at the skeleton of the First Generation Count of Xike, sighing as he said,
"Today is a time of many affairs, everyone must perform their duties, but the good news is that Black Disaster is coming. Even if the twilight forces are great, they must focus on this affair that will decide the continent’s fate.
This means we still have a bit of time to uproot their stakes in Transylvania one by one, but the time left to us isn’t vast.
So, let us hasten, gentlemen."
