The Amber Sword

“It's not that I don't want to go out with you, it's that I can't leave,” Elaine looked at him with a smile and put something gently in his hand: “It's a gift for another time, little one. ”

That's a stack of cards.

Brando held onto this set of cards in his hand, and he didn't understand: "Honestly, I... didn't really understand?” As far as he is concerned, of course, I hope that the sister-in-law of the deer body can walk with him. The other side has not seen the outside world for thousands of years. Smart people and little reliance are a rare help. He has at least 90% certainty that the royal sister will join him. The strength of the deer witch is only slightly worse than that of the clock pendulum according to herself, but it is definitely one of the most powerful beings Brando has ever seen at this stage, at least not less than Andersha in wolf scourge.

But Mistress smiled and didn't say a word. She turned her hair up and revealed her clean back naked. Yet just between the smooth shoulder blades, Brando sees an eye-catching wound that does not appear to have been caused by external forces, or rather grown inward or outward, and surprisingly, a crystal emerges from the wound that separates the skin from what he sees on the pendulum and the crystallized BOSS in the sarcophagus.

“What's going on?” Brando was shocked.

“As you can see, the quartz sand below appears to have infectious properties and will crystallize from within if you stay here too long.” Elaine put down her long hair and looked back at him. "I saw with my own eyes that the young nobleman had this disease, and when his guts were all crystallized, he slowly became weak until he died. But even when you die, the crystal doesn't stop growing, and it ends up in the same shape you see. ”

Brando was silent, and the strange symptoms were somewhat similar to those he had seen in crystal mines in the dark forest before, but far less severe and harsh. Crystallization is formed by a magical infiltration, which is equivalent to a layer of crystalline shell on the epidermis, but your sister says this is more like a parasitic state, which doesn't even end when the host dies.

He thought of the behavior of some parasitic bee larvae in nature, but the idea made him a little chilly and couldn't help but stop wanting to.

He was silent for half an hour and a half before asking, "Can't you do something? ”

Her Majesty smiled and said nothing.

“Finally, there's a little time left for me to tell you more about the adversity paradise set.” She doesn't care about her condition, she changed the subject: “You have this set of cards, 32 cards in total, including one Eklonia's Adverse Furnace, one Glorious Martyr, four Glorious Handlers, four Angry, four Lightning Storms, one Accelerated Mind, four Night Furnace Components, six Defeated Guards, one Anjodo's Sacred Ring, one Bible of Life, four Dawn and one Endangered Trojan Horse. ”

“You should see, this is not a complete adversity paradise. For the sake of complete adversity paradise no longer exists, they are sealed underground here and used to construct this vast array of laws. And what I used with that wooden head was actually just a projection of the rules. In short, he and I are a brigade magician only on this battlefield. ”

"So at first you asked us if we were traveling magicians," she shook her head. “In fact, we're not even traveling magicians, not even apprentices like you. It was this formation that gave us the ability to play cards, and I and one of them had half the authority, and it was pitch-black adversity, and I had pure white heaven. ”

“But you have this set of cards, but it is a physical existence, a legacy left to his heirs by the master, which, though incomplete, has the most basic loop of this set of cards for adversity paradise. As long as you hold on to this set of cards, then I think one day adversity paradise will always come back to you. ”

“So the cards of fate that appeared in the tomb outside were also deliberately placed by you?” Brando suddenly thought of that, asked.

“Nor can it be said that it was intentional that me and the pendulum would not leave this hall. But it seems like a hundred or two years ago, a few grave thieves came in here, and I deliberately asked them to steal a few cards in hopes of attracting a true travel magician, but that wooden head didn't seem to agree with me, and it ordered Ledell to kill those grave thieves.” The deer shemale thought and answered.

Brando remembers the scene outside, almost confirms it with his sister's statement, but the Bell Pendulum did not ask Leddle to retrieve the cards, even though he killed the tomb thieves, indicating that it should not oppose Elaine's plan altogether, but only with his own considerations. If not, Brando wouldn't be here today.

The confusion in his heart was explained slightly, he nodded and listened to the deer witch Mistress go on.

Elaine went on to talk about the adversity paradise set, and she said, "Every set of cards has its core tactics. This set of tactics will vary according to the thinking of each brigade magician. Some brigade magicians admire offense, and their team of cards can often form a strong fighting force in a short period of time. For example, they can use some direct attack spells and quickly summon biological armies into the field to form suppression, and simply destroy the enemy directly. However, there are also brigade magicians who prefer the post-mortem, who are good at controlling his team, and establish victory through defensive conversion advantages. Most of these groups are more stable, first standing on undefeated ground, then defeating the enemy. ”

“But adversity paradise is somewhat different from both of these, with both the means to form a quick offensive and the hindhand to defend against a counterattack.” The Deer Body Girl can't help but be a little proud when she says here: “There are two cards in Adverse Paradise, Night Furnace and Lightning Storm, Night Furnace and Furnace are both artifact creatures and spiritual figurines, they are considered dead on the scene, immune to all imminent effects, and at minimal cost, they can quickly go on the field; and Lightning Storm, a spell that can replicate a lightning bulb for each Night Furnace assembly on the field, the more number of Night Furnace assemblies, the more powerful the Lightning Storm. Nightingale assemblies, on the other hand, can multiply themselves and quickly form a scale. ”

(Night Furnace Assembly (Adverse Paradise IX), 1 Dark; [Treasure - Artifact Bio Night Furnace Spiritual Furnace, Lv26 Biology]; Effect: Pay 1 Light to copy one's own derivative. ‘In every little container, there is a real soul crying. ’

(Lightning Storm (Adverse Paradise VI), 4 Energy; [Magic - Immediate]; Effect: All Nightingale Assemblies on the Horizontal Field, Target Deals 5 Real Damage per Nightingale Assembly. Enter the cemetery after use. Shoot them all! - Commander of the Ekronian Legion, Tyreen ')

“This spell often works in a matter of minutes, and in fact it is not all it has.” Sister is somewhat proud: “You are lucky that only a card of pure daytime paradise can provide enough light elements for nightmare self-reproduction, plus the owner did not seal this card of anxiety disorder into the matrix for some reason. Otherwise, with previous repeated filtering spells, 'anxiety disorder' can quickly replicate dozens of lightning storms simultaneously on the scene, which is one of the real kills of adversity paradise. ”

When Brando heard about it, he suddenly sweated cold. The lightning storm, he saw with his own eyes that the pendulum had been repeatedly applied, was powerful and frightening. But at this moment, he realized for the first time that it was because they didn't have this anxiety disorder in their hands. He could totally imagine how anxiety disorder replicated dozens of lightning storms simultaneously appeared on the battlefield, killing the Buddha!

“This is the first kill in adversity paradise, but like all fast-track teams, it has obvious weaknesses. The spell is easily countered, and the Nightingale assembly itself is too fragile, and once the kill tactic is countered, the Pokémon Paradise set will turn into a process of adversity.” Sister Deer Witch continues: "Because the cards still contain the core card of the Trojan Horse of Defiance, which was prepared for this counterattack. ”

“The role of the Trojan horse is to filter out four biological cards from the cardholder's podium and remove them from the battle until, in the event of the death of more than forty non-black creatures on the field, the biological cards removed from the battle are placed on the field free of charge. You might think that 40 for 4 is a bit of a bargain, but just think, what if the four biological cards in your hand are expensive and powerful, like the trauma of all ages?” The Sister of the Deer Witch smiled mysteriously, "so Adverse Paradise is one after another, each of which is almost a must kill method, it is with this set of cards that my master is composed of the top 13 travel magicians, only a few after Tumen and Odin. ”

(Desperate Trojan Horse (Adverse Paradise I), 25 Dark; [Treasure - Artifact]; Effect: This card needs to be placed sideways. Review your card library, search your card library for four biological cards and move them out of battle. Then shuffle your card bank. Horizontal, pay any 40 ~ (0) (There are forty count indicators on this card. Every time a non-black creature dies on your field after playing this card, remove a count indicator from it. When you remove the last indicator, use it without paying for the spell) and place the card out of the match on the field. ‘Hidden opportunities in storms, hidden hopes in despair. ’

Brando couldn't help but hear God. He had never thought that fate cards could support each other in forming tactics before. The cards he received were scattered and basically irregular. Sometimes he used the Brigadier Master System purely as a summoning system, but he didn't think there was so much learning in it. But at this time, he grabbed a question, and he couldn't help but ask: "You said that the Trojan horse of despair needed more than 40 non-black creatures on the battlefield to be released, so before we fought with it, it seemed like we had been stopping the increase in the number of nightingale creatures? ”

“Of course," sighed the deer. "Little guy, are you nuts? The only non-black creatures in the pitch-black adversity are nightmares, which themselves are regarded as spiritual figurines. Simply put, they are a state of death. With forty nightmare assemblies present, conditions can be reached by the trojan horses. This is also the strength of a desperate Trojan horse, which is often triggered simultaneously when the Nightingale assembly triggers a lightning storm. ”

“So killing the Nightingale constructs, in itself, does not mean that they die on the ground?” Brando asked again.

“Death is death, annihilation is annihilation. Have you ever seen a dead man die again? ”

Brando suddenly, but for the deer's sister-in-law's spitting trough was a white eye, who knew these things when they were born? The Brigadier Master system itself is strange.

At this time, however, he thought of another problem. Since Adverse Heaven is black and white with one offense, it looks so powerful and perfect, but he is not the opponent of Tumen. He couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he first met Tumen. He didn't really feel how powerful he was.

He thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "Is Tumen so powerful? ”

But Sister Elaine glanced at him: "Of course, Tumen was one of the best traveling magicians of his time, and I don't know much about everything, but the energy of the five-colour card system alone is unimaginable in the white set of cards. As you can see, most of the summoning creatures in the Alliance of Cities card set are mass shaped, combined with a variety of alliance effects, and the Golden Faith flag, do you think the card set is just plain common? ”

“You know, it's just Tumen's defensive card system, and his five-color card set is complementary, just like adversity heaven is black and white. As far as I know, few of all the magicians of the ancient past are rivals to his set of cards. ”

“Shit.” Elaine's addition made Brando cry out loud in his heart, and the Golden Fair flag is a little perverted indeed. He remembered that such a perverted card was only a protective series in Tumen's five-color card system, and was a little speechless. As if invisible, the charitable old man, who had seen him at the underground auction, suddenly grew taller.

But when Brando was speechless, Mistress continued: “Besides, don't be too happy too early. Although there is a basic cycle of adversity paradise, there are still a few flaws in this set of cards. ”

“Are you saying that in the absence of a powerful organism, the Trojan horse does not work?” Brando reacted immediately, and Traciman was traumatized, but he couldn't seal the rules of this thing.

“Well, that's just one thing, powerful creatures can be collected slowly. But secondly, you lack the means to filter cards, because there is only one card for each of the two cards of the Heaven of Adversity - the Bible of Life and the Trojan Horse of Defiance - and how to find them from the card library is only luck for you, and in fact your Golden Glory flag is the same. Thirdly, you lack a stable means of tomb fishing, you have a graveyard resurrection with an archangel, but this is not enough. Archangels can only be used as a way to keep the number of cards alive. After all, they can only reset the entrance once a day, and the graveyard resurrection will be attached to the resurrected cards and can only be used once. ”

“Simply put, you lack the conditions to cycle graveyards on the battlefield. Most magic cards used in adversity paradise enter the cemetery once, and most biological cards involve sacrificial effects, with the desperate Trojan horse demanding death cards. This is destined to keep a significant number of cards in your cemetery during battle, and if you can't get them out in time, you will lack continuity. ”

“In the end, your plaque is far from enough. Because ground cards are at the heart of the magician, they are often not easily handed over to others, such as my master's, and I will not give them to you, and it is now the power that sustains the operation of this court. So you have to find a way to expand your pool of elements, and as far as I can tell, it's a little difficult for you to run the base loop of the adversity paradise card set, you understand?” The deer woman Mistress bowed her head and asked.

Brando nodded, and the last time Tumen taught him these things, time was short, and many things were not too detailed. And the advice given to him by the deer witch, no doubt every one is a treasure, and some of it is also felt by Brando himself, such as the plaque, he never felt enough.

The two spoke for such a short time that the excavations above were becoming clearer and clearer enough to interrupt their conversation. Brando suddenly stopped, realizing that the moment of separation was near, and he quietly thought about it, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure you don't want to go out, Ms. Elaine? There is no constraint on you here, I can get help to guard this tomb outside, and the wounds on your back are not completely impossible to heal, at least I know that some kind of miracle should heal. ”

“Remember, little guy, the travel magicians don't believe in God because they own destiny ——” The deer shemale smiled and patted Brando on the shoulder: “But I'm happy you think so, I should be thanking you, but at least for now, I'm not leaving. Time is running out, I can answer you one last question. Do you have any more questions about the fate of the Brigadier Master? ”

Brando silenced down.

Looking into Elaine's eyes, he knew he couldn't convince each other anymore, and thought about it, "How exactly can I become a true travel magician? ”

“To be a true travel magician, it's not easy, you have to have your own rules first.” The Deer Witch Mistress looked at Brando and took it seriously: “I've heard you say the idea of your card group, although I don't know what it means to be a 'full-time professional hegemony’, but since you're starting out with your abilities, I think you should have as few biological cards as possible, you should probably think about what your card group should look like in the direction of 'alien’ 'magic’, which is my suggestion. ”

“For a travel magician, it's not the more cards the better, or the bigger the 'territory' the stronger, it's the rules that matter. Among the many traveling magicians I have seen, there are countless cards and ground cards, but they are not able to leave the apprenticeship stage and enter the ranks of official traveling magicians. My master became an official travel magician at the age of forty-five. He was one of the most talented of many travel magicians of the past year. Little fellow, I hope you can make it this far earlier. It's kind of a wish for me--”

Said here, the deer witch sister couldn't bear to smile.

“Thanks.”

When Brando whispered this, there was the sound of a sandstone collapse. The two raised their heads and looked in the direction of the ramp, only to see where Lopal, Lord of the Fire Claw Lizard, came down with a trident in his hand. He looked ridiculous in a tiny cave with his tall body, but Brando thought and wanted to know that Andrig the Vampire Girl was never going to walk down to tell his master.

Indeed, Ropal stood there bowing slightly to him and whispered: "Charles has dug a passage, Lord. ”

Brando looked back at Elaine, and he saw her determination in the woman's smiling eyes. “Go,” your sister said with a smile, like an encouragement: "The paradise of adversity will go further, and you will take it with you, and one day, I hope, after countless years, someone will be able to sing your words on the earth like I told you today about the legend of your master —— don't let me down, little one. ”

Brando clasped his lips.

“I know there's a place where there's a crystallizing sickness like this,” Brando thought of his past adventures in the Sword of Amber, but he wasn't sure what the connection was, but he said, "I'll find a way to get there and find a solution. Because you're right, Ms. Elaine, fate is in your own hands. ”

Deer body witch Mistress smiled silently.

Brando finished, turned around and nodded to Lord Lizard, ready to leave. But I didn't expect Mistress to call him behind him: "Wait a minute. ”

Brando felt that the deer girl had stepped behind him, and he thought he was turning his back. But when he turned around, Brando was shocked to see his sister, one head taller than him, suddenly lowered her head and bit him in the mouth. He couldn't react at all, and a pair of cold lips were printed.

At that moment, he and Elaine looked into the eyes as if they could touch the soul deep inside of each other - Brando was surprised, while the deer witch sister was laughing. In addition, she forcibly pryed open his mouth by virtue of her strength, and a clever tip slipped in instantly, licking his tip like a chestnut, entangling his tongue.

Brando couldn't escape, he was totally successful and could only passively smell the sweet, goddess-like taste on each other.

He's not just shocked, he's out of state. Brando was not shocked by being kissed, but by being kissed almost as hard as a robber, this damned female bandit. His masculinity instantly took the upper hand. Of course, he could not let this woman take such advantage. He held each other's waist and limbs and was about to fight back. But I did not expect that the deer witch sister had stepped aside and looked at him with a smile.

“Then I'll wait for your good news, little one. This is the reward we agreed upon earlier, no matter what the outcome of that wooden fish's head is, but thank you for meeting my wishes. Now we're done, but I'll wait for your next favor. ”

The Deer Witch Mistress smiled and said, what sparked Brando was that the woman even provoked her little tongue to lick her lips and looked like she had never finished.

“Ms. Elaine... you...”

Brando stared at each other so stubbornly that he couldn't say a word. After a while, he finally turned around and said to Lord Lizard, who was rude on one side, "You didn't see anything. ”

“Yes, my lord,” said Lizard lord Lopal, looking very honest, "I will not tell Lord Charles. ”

“Holy shit, you were gonna have a big mouth if I didn't say so?” Brandoton sweated a little, and this asshole you told Charles about. Shouldn't Roman be hidden in this situation? Charles, how much does that guy love gossip?

Brando suddenly felt it was necessary to teach himself that strange idea too many magician servants. But he seemed to hear Otales biting his teeth and denouncing himself.

“Shame on you, Brando. Go wash your mouth and talk to me! ”
