The Amber Sword

Brando glanced at the far side of the mountain where the knife was sharply cut, turning around and letting Roman put the spider web ring on. He found the unexpected sensitivity of the businessman's sister, a ring that could further enhance her ability to do so.

Roman has been admiring this beautiful black and white patterned ring for half a day, naturally happy at this moment, but still curious to ask: "Is this also a magic ring, Brando? ”

“Well, it makes you hear better. Keep an eye on the basement and alert Freya if anything happens. I'll be back soon.” Brando knew that in addition to the golden demon tree, there was a stone cone worm in the valley, and that the thing came from the face of the local elements, a rare elite in the game, and there was one sudden appearance that almost made him busy.

“Any other enemies?” Two girls talk together.

“Probably. Be prepared, aren't you?” Brando is also embarrassed to pretend to be a prophet. The point is that it will be difficult to explain in the future, and he can only answer vaguely.

Freya nodded with a good understanding of the place, holding the long sword with sheath in her hands in front of Roman and saying, "I will protect Roman, be sure to return soon. ”

“Hmm?” Brando glanced at her in surprise. Since when did the girl cooperate so well, he felt a little overwhelmed, but it didn't look like a conspiracy - he hesitated to put down his backpack, flipped out a roll of rope and hooks from inside, and looked at the two girls, which led him to climb out carefully.

“Freya, is it okay for Brando to go out alone?” Roman asked quietly.

“Brando has his own plans, and we can't do much about it, just so he doesn't have to worry about this side. ”

“Freya? ”

Freya dumped the long ponytail behind her head and her bright eyes revealed a serious look. Instead of admitting defeat, she can only do so much of her own strength - the future goddess of martial arts may not think seriously enough about her own power, and to become captain, she must ask more severely for herself.

She took a breath, held her sword close to her chest and made up her mind.

And Brando, on the other side, with the rope behind him, was marching along a steep mountain wall, and he should be dozens of meters away from the crack in that impressive stone wall. He couldn't help but take a breath and look behind him. Fortunately, the Golden Demon Tree and its servants and sons relied on sound and magic fluctuations rather than vision to discover the target. Otherwise, his position would be remarkable.

He grabbed a protruding rock, and the gravel sand fell down the gap between the rocks, but that was not a sound. He was worried about making a big move, so he tried to lighten it up.

Less than 30 meters away.

There were no more soul crystals on the way, but Brando knew he had one last chance. There's a treasure in that gap up ahead —— no, there's something wrong with saying treasure. Although the player calls all the hidden places that offer items and resource rewards treasures, he knows that they are actually relics.

According to the play in the game, it was about ten years ago that a young adventurous nobleman named Borg Nathan came to the canyon, and he and his companions scattered in the demon tree attack, and a man luckily escaped to hide here, but eventually died from a recurrent wound attack.

He left behind his possessions and correspondence, which enabled him to complete a mission to Prague, although rewarding was insignificant, at least better for Brando at that time.

But what the little nobleman left behind was interesting, because it was random and lucky enough to get anything out. The best of Brando's personalities ever drove an amber stone. Of course he didn't expect it this time, as long as he could open the soul crystal, because in his memory the chances of the soul crystal coming out here are quite high.

He quickly climbed into the gap, which was actually shallow, but hard to spot from the outside. When he touched in, he saw the bone skeleton of the unlucky nobleman crooked aside, surprisingly every detail was the same as in the game, almost creating the illusion that he was still in the world of the past.

But Brando calmed down quickly, and he carefully bypassed the skeleton, staring into a small pocket next to him. But he was slightly stunned because he saw a piece of dusty, dry, crispy parchment on the cloth bag.

There's no such thing in the game.

He picked up the parchment and found it to be a suicide note with only a few words on it:

‘Martha on, I may not be long before the world. If I am deceased and someone is fortunate to see this suicide note, I would like to legally hand over all my personal belongings to this person. In addition, I have a secret ancestral estate, which I would like to divide into three parts, one for this person, one for my wife, Sadie, and one for my daughter (the following words are vague)...

If you see this testament interested in this fortune, please pass it along to my wife along with my letter and tell her about the 'date at the Baden Ball' and she will understand what I would like to say.

Finally, I'm sorry, Sadie. May Lord Martha punish me-- ’

Brando couldn't help but read it. The more he confirms that he has never seen this before, the more the mission line was to remove the seal from the fingers of this nobleman and hand it over to the civil registry in Pragues, where he would receive a bonus. This is the end of the mission line and there will be no follow-up.

But what's the reason? Is it because it's different from the game? Brando shook his head, and he instinctively didn't want to believe that judgment, at least everything he'd discovered matched perfectly, didn't he? There's no reason for an exception here. So what's the reason?

He thought about it and suddenly thought, is it the first person to discover this kind of mission? Amber has a lot of unique tasks and first tasks to say, but is this also the case in the copy? And nobody ever said that.

He hesitated for half a day and had to carefully fold the suicide note and the seal ring together before putting it close together. He felt that the task seemed familiar, and perhaps someone had done it that year - but unfortunately the passage in the suicide note about the other's daughter's name and family address had become blurred, otherwise the task would have been simple and straightforward.

But Brando doesn't care, and the more cumbersome the task, the richer the reward. Big deal. Start with the civil registry in Pragues, at least he knows two more clues - the name of this nobleman and his wife's name. And that's all going to happen later, and now he has to face his own problems.

Put the suicide note away, and he starts looking at his trophy. There are two rubies in a cloth bag, and some coins are worth about thirty silver coins, which is a lot of money. There's also a pipe, a dark grey sheet of stone, a glass bead. Brando poured these things out and flipped them over again, disappointing to find that there was no soul crystal, which made him sigh.

If these gains are already pretty good in the game, what he needs now is not material or money, but something that can boost his strength immediately. But disappointed, Brando swept them all into his waistbag, and he didn't have time to examine them, they were just ornaments, clutter, just to be safe.

After cleaning the trophy, Brando glanced at the skeleton and went back the same way, everything went smoothly, and when he returned to the stone seam where Roman and Freya were, he noticeably saw two girls relieved.

“Brando, you're finally back. You're not nervous about me and Freya, there's no sound around, quietly.” Roman patted his little tits and took a breath.

“Leave me alone -” Freya blushed.

“I'm just going to check what's going on around here, there's only one patrol out there, and we're going to get rid of them as soon as possible. ”

“Are we going out? ”

“We can also not go out until later by taking the exit on the other side of the hill. That would avoid fighting, but time might be tighter.” Brando replied.

“How tight is it?” Freya asked.

“It's about two hours late. ”

The girl stunned: “How far is it from here to Riedenberg?” The furthest she's been from home since she was a child is probably to Webin, and although Lidenburg often hears about it from a large population, it's just an impression.

“Let's just say, if we're two hours late, we'll have to race Madara's army of the dead.” Brando looked at Roman: “We may arrive in Lidenburg one step at a time, but we don't have much time left. ”

“Would it be quicker if we went out and killed that tree?” She asked.

“Behind that is a secret passage that merchants used to dig up to avoid the gates, which I read in Prague's municipal literature, before I was in the Prague militia -" our master lied unheartedly. But the secret passage part, he didn't lie to Freya, it's just what he knew in the game.

Freya looked at him skeptically.

“Is that tree dangerous?” She pointed out.

“Very dangerous, we have half a chance of failing.” Brando replied with seriousness that while he wanted to gamble to kill the golden demon tree - he also told himself that he had to tell Freya honestly how risky they were because he had to take responsibility for the lives of three people.

In one team, everyone has the right to make choices about their lives, which is the basic rule of the Amber Sword. No one can force anyone.

Freya is silent.

“Roman, what about you?” She asked.

Roman shook his head: "I love adventure. My life is about doing something meaningful. ”

Freya just retracted her gaze and nodded: “I see, Brando, please take us to defeat it. If it fails, I won't regret it. ”

Brando smiled, and he didn't expect Freya to react so much: "It's not that bad, I'll tell you what to do with it. But let's take care of that patrol, the six Demon Trees, and you're very familiar with them, but this time we're going to put an end to the fighting in a flash. ”

Then he took the two men to the edge of the stone seam and looked out to see clearly the children of the golden demon trees. Brandobie drew a range: "We lurked in from here, watched my gestures raid, as slowly as possible before the battle began, and they must not be allowed to see our voices. ”

“We have at least half an hour, so there's no rush. ”

“Freya. ”

“In.”

“Roman and I attacked from the right, you hid beneath that rock on the left, and when we attacked, you attacked the last two —— their weaknesses, remember?” Brando let Roman and his side actually protect her, but also to relieve Freya's stress, after all, this businesswoman has little fighting power.

Freya nodded her head, and the tree man's weakness lay in the limbs, because their sensory organs were all on the limbs, and they were completely free of threats if they lost them. But she was a little nervous, and before that, they were dealing with demon trees through some unexpected tactics, like a rockfall trap or something, and they had to face each other this time and put an end to the fighting for a moment - and she wasn't worried about Brando's ability to do it.

But can't you do it yourself? Freya's not sure.

Brando looked at her and knew what she was thinking. Every rookie has a problem like that, and while Freya should be called 'NPC’, it should be no exception. He thought about it and encouraged him: "Don't worry too much, you have a lot of restraint on them in the back of the wind, you should let go of your hands and feet to attack them...”

Freya nodded.
