Orc Knight

Ivan never thought that one day he would become a magic stick.

Of course, you can’t say that, after all, every successful person hopes to reach the highest state—the state of God, but that’s just a goal after all. This goal is too far away, and generally no one really puts all their efforts into it. To achieve it, the illusory goal of becoming a god is not as real as becoming a sword master.

Even if it is a sword master, there is no one in a billion. Most of them stop at the top sword master. This is the ultimate goal of ordinary people's career.

Therefore, when Ivan discovered that he could actually become such a nonsense creature as a god, he was really horrified.

It just so happened that he was still sick, so Ivan simply stayed in the cave every day, drinking strange potions, while thinking about the shiny net in his head.

Before he could think of anything, one day the gray back wolves all howled towards the sky.

Only then did Ivan know that Gretel's mother-in-law died.

Ivan has mixed feelings.

After learning about Gretel's story, he felt that he and Gretel were like two opposite sides. They encountered similar situations, but the measures they took were exactly the opposite, and the results they got were completely different.

Ivan was sent to the knight order by his biological father as a deal, which caused Ivan to be bullied, but Gretel's mother-in-law regarded Gretel as the child of the previous patriarch, so Gretel got all the love of the previous patriarch.

Immediately, Ivan stepped into a high position on his own and became the Eternal Night Paladin in the Temple of Light. In the process, he did not receive any help from his family.

And Gretel was drugged by his mother-in-law, stepped on the body of his most beloved father, and stepped on the throne of the patriarch, feeling extremely remorseful.

Ivan also hated his father, but was imprisoned by the gods he believed in, so he could only keep all his hatred in his heart and watch from the sidelines.

Gretel had no one on his head, and directly killed his mother-in-law, doing what Ivan had always wanted to do but never did.

So... what would it be like to kill Gretel, who first killed his most beloved father, and then killed his hated mother-in-law?

Ivan wanted to know.

So he put down the optical domain network in his mind, and walked out of the cave where he had recuperated for a few days, as if he had recovered from his illness.

As soon as you go out, you can feel the sad atmosphere in the whole tribe. Fukes is helping out. The old priest of the Gray Back Wolf Clan is getting old. Fukes was originally the head of the clan, and he can also serve as a priest in times of crisis. So at this moment, he is discussing with Patriarch White about dealing with the Gray Back Wolf Clan, and occasionally helping the old priest perform sacrifices.

Since the death of Grete's mother's father, Grete had knelt in front of his mother's father's body in a daze. After hearing the news, White saw Grete with a dull face, and began to help the old priest deal with it without saying a word. With the addition of Fox next to him, the gray-backed wolves did not appear to be in confusion.

Ivan waved his hand towards Fukosi with a solemn expression, "How is Gretel?"

Fu Kesi said helplessly, "What else? He has been like this since the death of his mother's father. After all, the relationship between him and his mother's father is very good. He doesn't seem to hear what we say, and has been talking I'm in a daze here..."

Ivan sneered in his heart, is the relationship good?Yes, okay?

He turned his face slightly, showing a sad smile, "Forget it, Fukes, you go and help, I'll go and see Gretel."

"But you're still sick..."

"It's almost done, and at this time, I also want to help." Ivan pointed to Blair who was comforting the little wolf not far away, "Even Blair is busy, I can't always watch..."

Fukes frowned slightly, glanced at Blair with dissatisfaction, and said worriedly, "Then be careful..."

"I see."

◇◇◇

Ivan walked towards the direction where Gretel was kneeling, and the busy clansmen around him walked around Gerrit far away, leaving him a space to grieve. When Ivan walked over, many gray-backed wolves They all nodded slightly, and when they were approaching Gretel, one of the wolves in the gray-backed wolf tribe, at the same time, they went to attack the Violent Lion tribe with Gretel last time, and it was because of Ivan's existence that Kamart recovered his life Stopped Ivan.

Kamat's voice was deep and powerful, and his gray eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, "Priest Ivan, please persuade the patriarch, if this continues, he will collapse first."

Ivan promised earnestly, "I will, please rest assured."

Kamat nodded, and took a few steps back. Ivan turned his head and found that many gray-backed wolves looked at him with a kind of begging look, which made him feel quite emotional.

No matter what Gretel did, he was still loved and recognized by the gray back wolves.

Oh, this is different from him, Ivan rolled his eyes, and remembered that when he was tricked by his boss to charge, the only ones who really cared about him were those few loyal knight attendants behind him.

"Grete?" Ivan stood beside Grete and said softly, "Do you regret it?"

Gretel shuddered.

"The old priest told me." Ivan looked at the corpse on the high altar. The funeral tradition here is to put the dead corpse on the altar for prayer, and burn it three days later to let its soul return to the beast god. embrace.

"You killed your mother, didn't you?"

Gretel spoke slowly, with a low and hoarse voice, "It's really hard to imagine that the old priest will tell you something. You are a foreigner, but he will tell you the secrets of our family. Your own old priest?"

Ivan raised his eyebrows, looked away from the high platform, and fell on the high and far sky in the distance, "Ah, he said he regretted it, it doesn't matter what the gray-backed wolves do, wolves are free, and the so-called tradition It should maintain the nature of the wolf clan itself, so he wanted to say it, and then he said it."

"It's really free." Gretel's tone contained strong sarcasm, "When you think you should maintain it, you must maintain it, and when you say you want to restore your temperament, you will be the first to indulge..."

He suddenly laughed, his voice was as cold as a knife, "It's really in line with the nature of the wolf clan."

He turned his head sharply, and those wolf eyes stabbed at Ivan like sharp swords, "What about you? Why are you standing here?"

Ivan tilted his head, "Because I, like you, have extremely unreliable parents."

Gretel froze.

After Ivan recounted his tragic past, he said, "To be honest, I learned something later, and when I gained power, I really wanted to shoot my father to death, but... like Just like you believe in beast gods, I believe in a god called the God of Light. According to the teachings of that god, patricide is an unforgivable crime, so he doesn't allow me to do it, even if I want...he will Imprison me directly with a bright cage, and after a few times in a row, I restrained my thoughts and treated my parents as passers-by."

He withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon and looked at Gretel, "So... After I know about you, to be honest, I admire you very much."

"What I admire is that you can do it, so... I want to know, if I did it back then, would I regret it?"

"This is an unsolvable question." Ivan said firmly, "So Gretel...can you tell me, do you regret it?"

Gretel was silent for a long, long time before he said flatly, "I don't know."

Ivan didn't speak, he could tell that Gretel only needed a listener at this moment.

"I hated him at first, but then it became a habit. If I didn't hate him, I wouldn't be able to bear the regret and guilt of killing my father." Gretel spoke slowly, word by word. , and said while thinking, "But when I really killed my father, I felt very at a loss. I have lived to kill him for so many years, so... what should I do after that?"

"I do not know."

Ivan thought for a while and said, "Don't you...don't you feel guilty? After all, killing your father is the deepest sin..."

"...No." Gretel said frankly, "Father Mu hated my father for decades, and he still hated my father even after his death. I killed Father Mu, on the one hand to help my father avenge him, on the other hand... ...and get rid of Father Mu, and the orcs will return to the embrace of the beast god after death, and the grievances between them will be handled by the beast god!"

So crisp!

Ivan blinked and was a little dazed. For some reason, all the heaviness and complexity in his heart disappeared completely. Yes, after death, people are handed over to the world after death, and the living must always look forward.

And now that he has moved away from the human continent in the past, and has come to a place full of orcs, he has already made a clean break with the past, so is it silly for him to worry about his father?

Ivan laughed, he seemed to always forget that he was no longer the original Paladin of Eternal Night at this moment, he was just an ordinary human being now, ah, ordinary, a human being who was moving towards becoming a god.

Yes, everything in the past has become the past, and he has been reborn.
