Yes, how many twists and turns will happen in the middle of this to make a former empire duke, the blessed god of war knight, and the wolf general with superb combat effectiveness eventually become a "scholar" who is addicted to research in the laboratory? Moreover, this scholar can also give his daughter a whole day of math papers at a rate of thirty questions per hour - called "brain entertainment"...

Andesa suddenly felt cold in her body, and she subconsciously shivered for a few moments before she began to consider what sentences should be used to tell her grandfather what happened to her father as concisely as possible.

"This matter...it should start from the blizzard at Winter Wolf Castle when my father disappeared," in the end, the young wolf general slowly spoke and broke his silence. "That year my father did not fall into the siege of Ansu people, but encountered all things that were moving at the foot of the dark mountains..."

The warm wind blew from the plain, turning the lush flower fields and woods in Changzhi Manor. The pool in front of the main house was rippling and rippling. The grass leaves and petals that were blowing from somewhere fell on the water, rotating and spreading a circle of slight ripples. The maid in the manor bent down and reached out to pick up a beautiful petal that floated to the edge of the pond. However, the petals suddenly trembled and curled, as if they were scorched by invisible force, wrinkled into a ball and drifted quickly to another direction.

The maid raised her head in surprise and nervousness, subconsciously glanced at the direction of the main house, but found nothing.

The sound of insects passed through the open windows, and the heat at noon in early summer had gradually been transmitted. Pei Dinnan restrained the power that accidentally evacuated. He listened quietly to Andesha's narration, his brows sometimes frowned and sometimes calmed down. After several mood fluctuations, all his thoughts and thoughts finally turned into a sigh.

Captured by cultists, washed away from faith, twisted flesh and soul by dark secret techniques, fell into the dark sect, contaminated with sin and depravity, and finally turned to loyalty to foreign countries... If he had not heard Andesha's story with his own ears, he would not have believed that these things happened to the former prominent star of the empire, and to his most proud son.

The old duke couldn't help but imagine that if he was younger and at a more severe and hard age, he would react after learning about these things, whether he would be saddened by the sufferings he suffered as his father, or he would be angry with the dust of family honor as Duke Wendell, he found that he could not imagine anything - after witnessing the greatest darkness and malice in the depths of this world on the battlefield of the Winter Fort, too many people had permanent changes, including Pei Dinnan Wendell, who was once known as the "Grand Duke of Steel".

The old duke sighed again - he felt that he was old after all.

"The father said... he did many wrong things, and he did not intend to use the so-called 'selflessness' to justify it. He said that he had many crazy and depraved evil things that were indeed taken the initiative in his rational and sober, because at that time he was completely addicted to the concept of the end of everything, the self-movement and false fanaticism of the savior. Although he was forgiven today, he still had to atone for the rest of his life on the land he had hurt." Andersa was a little nervously concerned about the change of grandfather's expression. After the other party's two sighs, she still said what Bard had said to him. "In addition, he said that although he was loyal to Emperor Cecil, he had not done anything to harm the interests of the Flourish, including the disclosure of any military and technical secrets - he just wanted to be a conscientious researcher."

"Dudean researchers..." Duke Pedinan murmured softly, "So, he won't come back-had he mentioned anything to say to me?"

"He asked about your physical condition in detail, but he didn't ask me to say anything to you," Andesha shook her head. "I asked him, his expression had something to say at that time, but... but he didn't say anything in the end."

"I get it," the old duke shook his head slightly, not seemingly surprised, but just sighed, "When he still needs to rely on his father, I only regard him as a soldier of the empire and the heir of the family, and he has now left these two identities... I should not be surprised by this result."

"Grandfather, father he..." Andesha hesitated. She was not very clear about how her grandfather got along with her father. The long-standing childhood memories were already blurred in her mind, so she was not very clear about what she should say at this time. "He actually still cares about you very much."

"I know, Andesha, don't worry - I know," said Pei Dinnan's eyes, "I'm his father after all."

Andesa nodded slowly, then couldn't help asking: "Will you blame him for the decision? He has given up on his identity as a Fengren... and may stay in Cecil forever."

Pei Dinnan did not answer for a moment, but just thought quietly. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the dreams he had had, and what he had seen in the illusion that was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, as if revealing the "osteroids" of Bard's fate. He was confused and uneasy about it, and now... he finally knew the truth behind these "osteroids".

After a moment, the old duke suddenly asked, "Do you think he is doing well there?"

"He was doing well," Andersa said with little hesitation, recalling the days she had been with her father in Solinburg - although the other person's work seemed a bit difficult for her, the fulfillment and comfort she saw in her father's face was not false. "He had a new lifestyle and a new social network, and I could tell that he was very happy with his current state."

"Then I have nothing to complain about," Duke Pedinan whispered, "After so many years, he should live for himself."

"Grandfather, your Majesty's side..."

Duke Pei Dinnan slowly shook his head. He was about to say something, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted the old man's next move. The grandparents and grandchildren looked in the direction of the sound at the same time. A servant pushed the door and entered the hall, bowing there: "Duke Duke, mistress, a royal messenger is visiting."

"Royal Messenger?" Andesa confirmed in surprise. She subconsciously looked at her grandfather, but saw the old man's face calm. Duke Pei Dinnan nodded slightly to the servant: "Please come in."

But in a moment, the royal messenger who suddenly visited appeared in front of Andesha under the guidance of the attendant. This was a middle-aged man with a peaceful temperament, wearing a dark blue jacket with exquisite silver edges and red patterns, and two followers followed him, each holding a long ornate wooden box.

Andesha couldn't help but guess the purpose of the sudden sending messenger to the Great Emperor Rosetta, and at the same time, he received the visitor from the Obsidian Palace according to the standard ritual. After a few simple greetings, Duke Pei Dinnan asked about the messenger's purpose. The man wearing a black blue coat smiled: "Your Majesty knew that General Andesha returned to his territory today. The general made great contributions to the empire and experienced a whole day of winter imprisonment, so he ordered me to send a gift of condolence-"

He turned around and pointed to the gorgeous wooden box held by one of the minions: "This is a knight's sword enchanted by Ms. Windsor Mapel, the president of the Royal Mage Society, which can control the powerful winter power or change the gravity within a certain range of the range, and can protect the user at critical moments to immunize a legendary fatal injury. His Majesty gave it the name "Winter". Now it is yours, General Andesha."

"Thank you for your gift," Andersha said immediately, and then ordered the attendant to come forward and take the gift of great honor. After opening the gorgeous wooden box, a sword was sharp and the surface seemed to condense a layer of ice that never melted into her eyes - this was indeed a good sword.

Even though the era of traditional war has passed, in the face of powerful cluster artillery, such individual weapons no longer have the ability to influence the entire battlefield, it is still a good sword.

While ordering the attendant to collect the gift, Andesha and Duke Peidinan's eyes could not help but fall on the wooden box carried by another royal entourage.

"This second gift is for you, Duke Peidinan." The messenger turned to Peidinan Wendell, and suddenly there was a solemnity in his smile.

"Since General Bud Wendell's death outside Winter Wolf Castle, the Wendell family has been loyal to the power for twenty years and has made indelible contributions to the empire. Now General Andersa is in danger again, keeping the empire's precious elite power and avoiding the previous winter wars falling into a situation of no return - the entire empire should thank you and your family for their great dedication and sacrifice.

"This is another sword. Although it is not a legendary weapon as powerful as 'Winter', it has an extremely important significance: it is His Majesty's sword for the past twenty years, and its name is 'Trust'.

"It originally had a sister sword called 'Loyalty', which was General Bud Wendell's sword back then, but unfortunately it was lost after General Bud died twenty years ago. Now His Majesty has given this sword to His Excellency the Duke. First, thank the Wendell family for their long-term contributions, and second, to send a memory. I hope you can treat it properly."

Andesa listened nervously, and suddenly took a light breath. She realized a very critical detail in the messenger's words-

Since a unit led by his father lost traces at the foot of the Dark Mountains twenty years ago, although almost everyone believes that the wolf general is no longer alive, all the official calibers of the empire have been missing over the years, especially the royal family. In this matter, in formal occasions, the word "dead" has never been used!

The young wolf general quickly realized something. She looked at her grandfather and saw the old man stunned for a moment, then his lips trembled slightly, as if he had taken a lot of effort to finally speak: "I... thank Your Majesty for your grace..."

"Please accept this gift," the messenger smiled and signaled the follower behind him to step forward, "This is your Majesty's wish."

"Okay, of course." Duke Pei Dinnan said immediately, and ordered his servant to come forward to take the long wooden box. After opening the lid, a protective sword with a sky blue gem inlaid at the hilt of the sword appeared in front of him.

"What else did Your Majesty say?" the old duke raised his head and looked at the messenger, asking quickly.

"It's only a very simple sentence," the messenger looked at the old man solemnly, "he said: 'Everyone is well'."

"Everyone is well..." Duke Pei Dinnan subconsciously repeated this sentence softly, and after a long time, he nodded slowly, "I understand, please allow me to express my gratitude to Your Majesty again."

The messenger shouldered his mission and did not stay in Changzhi Manor for too long. He quickly left the place with his entourage. In the hall of the main house of the manor, only Andesha and Pei Dinnan were left again.

The two long swords with special meanings have been put away by the attendant and sent to the nearby weapon display room.

Andesha finally couldn't help but break the silence: "Grandfather, his majesty..."

"Don't speculate on your Majesty's thoughts, especially when he has given you room to turn around," Duke Pedinan shook his head and interrupted Andersha's words, "Child, remember, your father is no longer alive, from today onwards, he died twenty years ago."

Andesa looked at her grandfather and then nodded slowly: "Yes, I understand."

"... Let's go to the cellar to get a bottle of wine," said Duke Pei Dinnan for a moment, "Let's drink together... There are so many things to celebrate today."

...

The long-lost sunshine shines on Aldernan. After the fog dissipates, the city finally embraces the clear blue sky. On this summer's first visit, the whole city will usher in a few rare clear skies in the year - the musty smell accumulated in the long foggy seasons in the past will quickly dissipate on these warm days.

In the study on the upper floor of the Obsidian Palace, Diana, the chief maid of the royal maid, pushed open the door and came to Rosetta Augustus.

Emperor Rosetta raised his head from the book and looked at Diana: "It seems that the gift has been delivered?"

"Yes, the messenger just sent a message," the dark-haired Diana nodded slightly, "Duke Pedinan and General Andesha have accepted the gifts, and the whole process is very smooth."

"Is that... then they must have understood my intentions."

Speaking of this, the empire ruler couldn't help but smile a little strangely, and shook his head in a complicated expression: "But then again, I really can't imagine that Bud is actually alive... Although Pei Dinnan mentioned his dreams and premonitions, who would have thought that these perceptions from the extraordinary would be confirmed in this form..."

More than one Commander Tifen was captured with Andesha, and several of them were seriously injured were transferred to the Solin area for rest. Although the information these people had received was very limited, the name Bad Wendell was still heard and after returning to the country, it was spread to the case of Emperor Rosetta's Great.

This is a very simple and direct information transmission line, so simple that it can be seen at a glance that it has not been kept in any confidentiality or disguise.
