On the return journey, Old Qin approached the silent Necromancer and asked softly:
"I just heard your great-grandson mention that it's the shame of your life, and even the shame of your family. Did you lose it?"
"It's a sword."
The voice of Necromancer Baldwin sounded as usual, devoid of any obvious emotional fluctuation.
He gazed at the Polluted Swamp stretching to the horizon and said:
"It was a war sword bestowed upon me by the God of the North Wind during my campaign to conquer the Great Wilderness as a follower of Hero King Boris. Forged from the holy wolf's fang and carrying the fury of the Wolf God, it symbolized the Baldwin family and was one of 'The Three Sacred Relics of Nord.'
