Looking for Mom

After Big Babylon recounted everything he knew, Dina, who had been listening with her head bowed, was already in tears. The sealed memories of the past seemed to have opened a floodgate, pouring out.

Combining what Big Babylon had said with Dina's recollections, the poor maid finally filled in the missing blanks in her life.

Even the old Butler, who had already experienced countless joys and sorrows, sighed sadly with his head bowed.

As Allen had expected, Dina was indeed a barbarian, also known to the outside world as a savage.

Furthermore, Dina was a mixed-blood. Her father was the previous Chieftain of the Bloody Hoof Tribe, Bloodhoof, and her mother, Helen, was an ordinary Holy Light Priestess in the Heretic Extermination Legion.

Melodramatic wartime romances never had happy endings. Bloodhoof, who led the tribal warriors in resisting the Papal Legion, was ambushed by the three great Magus of the Papal forces. To cover the retreat of his tribesmen, he fought to the death and was captured, severely wounded.

At that time, the Bloody Hoof Tribe was known as the Heroic Tribe of the Savage Plains. Dina's father's fame resounded throughout the plains, and he was the spiritual leader of all barbarian warriors, even being called the Incarnation of the God of War.

If the leader of the political hierarchy was the Great Chieftain Tribe, then the folk hero was Bloodhoof, a tribal chieftain dedicated to the rise of the barbarians.

The capture of such a legendary warrior of the plains was of great significance to the Extermination Legion. The Holy See, which preached inclusivity, did not publicly execute Bloodhoof. Instead, they prepared to offer him countless benefits to recruit him into the Holy See's service, even planning a Saint Cassis version of Infernal Affairs to use Bloodhoof to completely overthrow the ruling class represented by the Great Chieftain Tribe.

Under these circumstances, Dina's birth mother was assigned by the Holy See to carefully care for Bloodhoof.

Bloodhoof was severely injured, with residual magical elements in his body constantly ravaging his tenacious life force.

Helen, as kind as her daughter Dina, did not despise Bloodhoof's barbarian identity at all. As they spent time together day and night, she developed a deep reverence for this barbarian who bore the heavy responsibility of the barbarian resurgence.

To completely control Bloodhoof, the Holy See employed a very despicable tactic. The two of them accidentally ingested a potent aphrodisiac, which ultimately led to Dina's birth.

When the Holy See withdrew from the Savage Ancient Plains, Helen was already pregnant.

Upon returning to the Savage Ancient Plains, Bloodhoof discovered that due to his disappearance, the Bloody Hoof Tribe had transformed from its former heroic status into a precarious small tribe in decline. Out of nearly a thousand elite warriors, only over two hundred loyal tribesmen remained, struggling to survive.

Missing his beloved from afar every day, Bloodhoof was in unbearable pain. After entrusting his tribesmen to the current Chieftain, Old Zak, he resolutely returned alone to the human kingdom, preparing to rescue Helen, who was about to give birth.

Alas, fate was not on his side. The former Number One Warrior Under the Stars of the plains, Bloodhoof, no longer possessed his former ferocity after being severely wounded, and he died under the arrows of the Locke Kingdom border army.

With the target dead, the Holy See had no interest in keeping Helen idle and simply branded her a heretic, exiling her to Outpost County to become a lowly freeman.

At that time, Outpost County was a crucial stronghold for the Locke Kingdom's border army. Lacking medical supplies, the border army suffered constant casualties. As a freeman, Helen, carrying the infant Dina, treated the wounded soldiers and took meticulous care of them, all to prevent those fierce border soldiers from looking at her little Dina with different eyes.

Childhood Dina grew up on the charity of many. After Helen's life force was depleted from repeatedly using Holy Light magic, her body finally collapsed and she was bedridden. Dina, who had learned to identify herbs from her mother since childhood, inherited her mother's kindness and took over her mother's mantle.

Dina was very grateful. Following her mother's example, she rode a pony, her tender shoulders bearing herbs, constantly rushing to the front lines to deliver them to the border soldiers every day.

The Locke Kingdom's border army not only bore the heavy responsibility of resisting the Barbarians of the Wasteland but also had to guard against scattered Behemoth Orc armies. Some Wasteland Bandits even attempted to breach the defenses and enter the heartland of the Kingdom of Locke to plunder.

The Behemoth Orcs, disguised as multiple Wasteland Bandit groups, then gathered their forces and launched a large-scale invasion of Outpost County.

The border army suffered heavy casualties and fought desperately. Dina, inside the military camp, was also innocently caught in the crossfire. Witnessing the familiar elders being brutally slaughtered, Dina's Titan Bloodline finally awakened, becoming the most crucial factor in the battle and completely turning the tide in favor of the Locke border army.

The halo battle songs of several Behemoth Shaman Priests suddenly lost their effect, and they were eventually defeated and fled.

Dina, accidentally injured in the head, suffered a severe trauma and simultaneously lost her childhood memories.

The Grand Duke arrived at Outpost County with a Royal City commendation order. Thousands of border soldiers knelt before the Grand Duke, refusing all rewards, only hoping that the Grand Duke would take little Dina back to the Royal City and allow her to live a normal life away from the constant warfare of Outpost County.

This was because, at that time, Helen had already been snatched away by the Behemoth Orcs amidst the chaos, and no one knew whether she was alive or dead.

The Grand Duke's broad palm took the ignorant little Dina from the hands of the border army's Legion Commander, completely altering her life's trajectory.

When the Grand Duke brought little Dina back to the Royal City, Allen was still a notorious hooligan in the city. The memory-wiped Dina also met her first playmate.

Ten years later, when Dina followed the old Butler and returned to Outpost County with Allen, Outpost County was no longer the scene of constant warfare it once was.

And Dina had forgotten everything that happened here.

As Big Babylon recounted the past with a sorrowful expression, Dina was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Dina finally recalled the fragments of her childhood in Outpost County, remembering the familiar smiling faces of the border soldiers, her mother Helen's kind face, and her father Bloodhoof, who stood unyielding under the city walls, pierced by countless arrows.

Allen walked up to Dina and wrapped his broad arms around his crying personal maid, feeling deeply moved.

Can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

"Overgod, my almighty Holy Father, is blood and fire the only way you spread your faith?" Allen looked up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, emitting an eerie red glow.

The old Butler looked at Big Babylon with a grave expression and said unpleasantly, "According to you, your Bloody Hoof Tribe is already in decline and can barely protect itself. If Nana returns to the Savage Plains, how will you protect her? Or will you send Nana to the Great Chieftain Tribe, letting her become a pawn for others to exploit?"

"Screw you guys. I knew you barbarians had no good intentions. You only come looking for her now, after Dina's special abilities awakened. Do you think we're stupid?" Allen berated Big Babylon fiercely.

Big Babylon glanced at Little Zack and finally sighed helplessly. He couldn't make grand promises like he had just done.

He knew very well that if he hadn't rashly gone to Outpost County, Miss Dina might still have been that carefree Papal Candidate Saintess, with a warm house for shelter, delicious food to eat, and countless important figures protecting her openly and secretly.

Miss Dina couldn't choose her birth, but couldn't she choose her life?

Big Babylon hesitated. He knew that Little Zack, like him, was starting to waver. However, with the Bloody Hoof Tribe in turmoil, if Dina didn't return, the Bloody Hoof Tribe would cease to exist.

Before coming to Outpost County, they thought Miss Dina was living in dire straits. But after seeing and experiencing it firsthand, they realized they were terribly wrong.

Big Babylon only knew about the events before Dina's birth. After hearing about Dina's tragic life after birth, the honest Big Babylon could no longer bring himself to say he would take Dina away.

Dina tilted her head up and softly said to Allen, "I miss my mother."

Big Babylon sighed. He didn't want to provoke Dina further. Although his mind wasn't sharp, he knew that in that situation back then, even if Helen had miraculously survived the severe illness, she would have been captured as a slave by the Behemoth Orcs. A human slave, even if they miraculously crossed the Savage Ancient Plains, often wouldn't survive more than a few days in the Behemoth kingdom.

Allen wiped the tears from Dina's eyes and gently said, "Second Young Master will take you to find her, no matter where she is."

Dina nodded, tears turning into a smile, her signature innocent grin reappearing on her face.

"Waaah... sob!" A cry, as if a father had died and a mother had remarried, erupted from the nearby bushes, startling everyone.

Before Allen could even start cursing, several perfunctory cries followed.

Sakre, with a face full of tears and snot, crawled out from the bushes. Behind him, a few lackeys, with red eyes, followed suit, trying their best to act along with their master's performance.

The old butler, Laixi, shook his head with a wry smile.

Walking up to Dina, Sakre, with his missing front tooth, opened his mouth, imitated Allen's gesture, and put an arm around Dina's shoulder. He cried, "Wuwuwu~~~~ I'll go too. Don't worry, as a noble knight seeking justice, wuwuwu~~~ I will protect you all the way until we find that great mother. I can't, I feel so bad!"

After speaking, Sakre slumped onto the table, wiping his tears incessantly.

Allen kicked Sakre lightly and said unhappily, "Do you have money? You want to tag along on our trip just to freeload."

"Huh?" Sakre looked dumbfounded.

"What about the Holy See? Aren't you a lackey of the Papal Legion?"

Sakre's eyes rolled back. "To hell with the Holy See! I've wanted to quit for a long time. Those scummy bastards."

"I don't believe you. What if you're a spy sent by the Holy See to monitor Dina?"

Sakre said dismissively, "Nonsense. I am a noble, a Count, a noble knight."

"Then give us some proof of loyalty."

"What do you mean?"

Allen said with a playful grin, "Then go and stab the local lord, Wood, to death."

Without a word, Sakre drew his sword from his waist and said fiercely to the lackeys behind him, "Let's go!" He led the way and left the small garden.

Allen was stunned. He hadn't expected the guy to take him seriously.

Old Laixi, angry at his lack of ambition, chased after them, raising his cane.

Hundreds of years later, historians on the Saint Cassis Continent would bestow many titles upon His Excellency Allen, who had stirred up the world.

The Number One Warrior Under the Stars, the great leader who unified the Wasteland, the great leader who led all races to resist the Demon Race, and so on.

However, these historians endlessly debated the original reason why His Excellency Allen transformed from a decadent noble into a dazzling figure like the scorching sun.

If they could travel through eternal time, perhaps they would discover that it all began simply because Allen wanted to take his maid to find her mother!
