Chapter 2681 - 894: Victory Is Something Worth Celebrating
Now, the simple and naive Biqi also has to bear such a heavy burden."
"You’re in this state because you haven’t grasped the correct method. You should have become Ao’s priestess from the moment you were summoned by them, reflecting on Ao’s teachings daily to adapt to that purifying power, rather than continuing to play knight games with Biqi."
Triss said with a pout:
"I’ll teach you later. I know Calum’s Dragon Sons and Dragon Ladies have special ways to conceal their transformations, and I’ll do my best to teach you to become a qualified ’Exotic Dragon Lady.’ But you need to understand that Biqi’s situation is entirely different from yours.
You’re too emotional right now to see what a great opportunity this is for Biqi.
The Holy Light has only just been born as a symbol.
It’s a seed that can even be guided by Biqi in its growth and emergence in the future. You upright folks find it hard to imagine what a disaster it would be if such an opportunity fell into the hands of villains...
Felix’s relationship with The Master of Hunting is the most illustrative negative example, and now, what Biqi has to do is what King of Bone Biting did to The Master of Hunting a hundred years ago.
The best part is, with such a brutal example before us, even if Biqi wanted to take the opportunity to do something evil, she’d have to consider the consequences.
Oh, if I wasn’t an abhorred vampire, I’d probably want to get baptized and join the ranks of the Holy Light by now."
"Alright, ladies! Let’s not let these unworthy arguments ruin our friendly relations."
Murphy spoke up to halt them at that moment:
"This tough battle was won, but there are many things left to do. Let’s pause these debates. The soldiers await rest, and the position needs re-fortification. Once Biqi wakes up, we’ll discuss this issue further.
Triss, could you announce the victory of the lord’s position to the other positions?
The collapse of over a hundred thousand Wolf People will be a real boost, enough to make the entire Maginot Line steady once more.
Kudell, I need you to join me in patrolling the battlefield. The injured soldiers also need consolation. The spirit summoning ritual hosted by Little Mummy has been running overloaded for three days. These are all issues we need to address."
After speaking, Murphy and the other two took action. As they left, LiWen gazed at Biqi in her arms with a complex look. She stroked Biqi’s face, still stained with blood, and whispered:
"For both humans and Wolf People, that scene was the darkest moment. They want to see that beam of light... You’ve become that light, Biqi. You’ve fulfilled your wish to become the hero you wanted to be in Transylvania, and your story will be told across the continent.
But what about the price?
Your whole life will never know freedom again."
"But don’t you still have me? LiWen."
With her eyes closed, Biqi whispered in a voice as faint as a mosquito:
"I don’t know if this is good or bad, but you said that if I encounter problems, you would help me think, right? LiWen, whatever trouble I face, you’ll be there to help me—I trust your wisdom more than my sword.
Ah, being a hero is so tiring. No wonder grandpa doesn’t want to talk about the story of the Nantes Ranger anymore...
You’ll always be by my side, won’t you? LiWen."
"Yes, I’m right here."
The Exotic Dragon Lady leaned down and kissed her friend’s forehead, softly saying:
"Rest now, as the great hero. Rest in the name of the victory you just personally won. We can discuss those annoying matters later."
Meanwhile, outside the door, Murphy, who hadn’t gone far, looked at Kudell’s clenched fist and spoke:
"I know what you want to ask, I even guess what you want to say. But before you hit me, let me ask you this, Kudell: do you think the Transia People and the Goldenrod Kingdom can coexist peacefully?"
"Impossible!"
The Civilian Protection Officer suppressed his anger, glaring at Murphy, and said in a deep voice:
"As long as East Prussia and Sax remain in King Louis’s hands, the two countries can never have peace. And you’ve personally put my granddaughter on that stage, forcing her to make a difficult choice between two nations and her own aspirations."
"Alright, I admit, when Biqi was sent to the Torrent Knights, I had already scripted her future."
Murphy said quietly:
"But I’m not such a cold-blooded lord, not willing to use a pure maiden’s life as a bargaining chip in such a war. I’m curious as to why in your plans for your granddaughter’s future, she must choose a side to become a participant and propeller in the war, rather than the one who ultimately ends the war on her own?"
"Hmm?"
Kudell blinked.
He waited for Murphy’s explanation. The Vampire Lord sniffed, glanced at Biqi’s Golden Radiance Battle Flag nearby, and said:
"King Louis personally abolished the Old Avalon Religion, leaving the Spiritual world of the Ceylan People barren like a wasteland. There, people yearn for the comfort of faith as arid lands long for the cleansing of spring rains. Biqi will inevitably become the leader of those in need during a turbulent time...
Mmm, ’Saintess of Light leads the way to freedom.’ What a beautiful slogan!
Kudell, I know you have always worried about me using your granddaughter as a tool for achieving objectives, so I will entrust the leadership of this matter to you.
You will plan Biqi’s future path, and once you’ve decided, I won’t interfere.
But you must understand, whether it’s luck or fate.
Holy Light chose her!
Whether you like it or not, your granddaughter will become a faith leader who will shake the continent’s future. You must help her choose her path carefully.
As I said, don’t force her to join a side in the inevitable war. Instead, from the perspective of Biqi and the Church of the Sacred Light, become a defender of peace and a mediator of conflict."
Murphy extended his hand to Kudell and said:
"If you need assistance in this endeavor, I’d be happy to offer my support... I’m being so honest here, so can I escape this beating? Please understand, I don’t want to face my courageous soldiers with panda eyes.
After all, I am a lord. Maintaining a perfect and excellent personal image is a baseline I must always uphold, just as you must watch your own words and deeds in your vow to protect... As I said, if you are not comfortable entrusting your precious granddaughter to me, then you are welcome to become her ’manager.’
Look, what a perfect actor I am."
