The Amber Sword

They stood on a cliff and looked at a quiet valley.

“Down here is the Holy Ink Valley. Do you remember the exact steps of capturing crystal stags?” Brando looked down, and the valley was covered with dense cedar groves, but there was a starlit light between the woodlands, the light of moonlight grass.

“Down.”

“Grab it. ”

Brando turned around and looked at a calm lady knight. This is really like Sister Bai's answer, simple, clear, without any ambiguity.

“It's no trouble to look at what I'm doing and catch it with your current abilities. All I remember was that this valley was a concentric circle, with frost demons in the outermost surroundings, and then there was a lake, shallow water, and many places could get past it.” Nimaisie's face was calm in the night breeze.

“Get this information even from the geography of the kingdom…”

“You're right, Mr. Brando. I did learn this information from Manowell Geography, published in 355, and my dream memories were shattered, and sometimes I had to correspond from the literature.” Nimaisie replied softly.

“But you told me you could find the crystal stag! They will only appear at 3 or 4 o'clock on the full moon tonight, looking for the river of magic, but I have never found the river of magic...”

“I do, but you need to take me down first. ”

Brando took a sigh of relief and looked back at the pitch-black forest and nodded: “It's not a problem. ”

The distance from the outskirts of the valley to the central lake is a sloping slope towards the centre, sparsely scattered over a vast array of cedar forests, embellished with moonlight grass and luminous light, which looks like a burning meadow in the distance. This is also the scent of Frost Demon, a secondary element creature that looks a bit like a flat ice sheet man, whose power is about the same as that of three Skeleton soldiers, and whose vitality is far more resilient than that of the latter, although there are no special methods of attack, apart from a spell called "Cold Ice Knife".

As a low-order monster, Frost Demon also lacks intelligence, and action depends entirely on the instincts of the beast. So hunters can trap them, and they can catch them. The core of the Magic Core Frost in their bodies, as an inferior quality magic crystal, can also be sold at a good price at the market.

But Brando doesn't intend to provoke these things - most frost demons love group action, especially near their habitat. He doesn't want these demons to attack.

This is the first test of the mission.

This test is quite a hassle for the average player, Brando can imagine, unless he is a master at this task. Most of the average player's choices are presumably Hooper Summoning Friends, killing them all the way in from the periphery.

But the task was extraordinarily simple for him, and he took everything from the backpack to cover the cloak, and opened it up and stood down. And he looked up at the knight next to him: "Come in. ”

Nimaisie hesitated a little and went into the cape, squeezing with Brando.

“I warn you, do not fly near me.” She exhaled as Randy said.

Brando nodded slightly embarrassed and closed the cape with his hands. Inevitably, the distance between them was a little closer, and Nimaisi grunted softly, but she also knew that Brando was not intentionally taking advantage of her and could only ignore it.

With the cloak of everything, crossing Frost Demon's territory becomes a very simple thing, without even having to consider a detour, and Brando runs straight through the first half of the valley. Soon he saw a silver spot in the forest, a lake. Silver sparkles because mirrored lakes reflect continuous moonlight grass.

Brando approached the lake and finally lost his magic when the cloak he was holding up turned into an old rag after flashing twice.

And that's when Brando heard a sharp 'squeak’ behind him. He doesn't know. Hurry to put away the cape and pull out the sword of the earth. Looking back, you can see a clear, icy creature not far from the shadow of the tree looking at them there.

That thing was like a thin ice man, only half the height of a normal human being, barely able to see where the head was, and there was a bright red light, like an eyeball. But Brando knew it was just the core of each other's magic.

That's Frost Demon.

“Looks like your cloak lasted a little longer than you expected, back off, Brando.” Nimaisie turned around, pulled out her sword and stood back to back with Brando.

Brando was a little embarrassed at the moment, traveling all the way to the world, because his attention was filled with other things, and his acumen as a player was, indeed, much slower.

Immediately after a scream, twenty or thirty similar monsters emerged in the Cedar Forest, surrounding them in the centre.

“How?” Brando asked.

“I can handle seven or eight heads.” Nimaisie looked calm.

“Then you protect yourself, I'll take care of the rest. ”

Nimaisie nodded and she knew exactly what Brando was capable of. With her strength, it's only a drag, so all she has to do is protect herself from Brando.

Brando's voice had just fallen, the blade of the sword of the earth slammed downwards, and a loud bang sounded, as if something had risen from the ground. Only two sharp rock pillar teeth pierced the surface and flew towards the two frost demons. Before the latter could react, they were nailed raw on the cedar trunk behind them.

A click broke Cedar's waist, and the two frost demons were completely smashed into a pile of ice crystal fragments.

This is just an instant thing, so many ice monsters haven't reacted yet, they're already missing two of their kind. But it is well known that the sword of the earth will not be activated until it has been waved, not that it has been emptied, but that Brando has not yet arrived.

Brando's figure is fading.

But on the other side of the battlefield...

The black blade is showing itself in front of a frost demon - the demon raising its head and watching the sword of the earth sweep through its own body, like breaking glass and breaking the body size of an ice crystal.

Brando's sword seemed to cut through the gap, waving a huge arc, and the three-headed frost demon turned into countless scattered pieces with his sword.

A broken frost demon in a half-space melts at visible speeds, and the shattered body can land in the future, turning into a light blue crystal and falling to the ground.

This is the nucleus of frost, a very poor alternative to magic crystals, but barely a renewable resource —— if it had been a precious asset to Brando when he first arrived in Tonigale, but now the chicken ribs -- he didn't even look at these falls, killing into the Frost Demon like a cyclone, and for a moment it seemed like four or five Brandos were on the battlefield at the same time.

Nimmasis soon joined the battle, and the battle was basically overthrown, with only the last few frost demons causing a little scratch to the female knight with a cold ice knife on her deathbed. And it's basically impossible for these monsters to pose any threat to Brando.

The last frost demon also turned into ice scum under Brando's sword, and the battle ended in just a few minutes, and Brando didn't even feel warm. But Nimmasis took a lot of energy, and she tried her best to push away the cream and finally kill it, causing the corpse to ‘boom’ to fall to the ground, shatter into thousands of pieces, then hold the sword and look very laborious.

Brando turned around and looked at the head of the blushing knight, laughing: “You've regressed a lot, too. ”

“Don't compare me to her, I'm not her.” Nimaisie took a gentle breath and looked up at him hatefully.

Brando smiled lightly. He also knew that Nimaisi was not a white sister, but they seemed to influence each other, and from her he could always see her in detail. He now finally knows why, apart from her appearance, she always gives him a friendly feeling.

Perhaps it was because of this feeling that he had difficulty disgusting each other and even having some natural intimacy.

At this time, the body of the frost demon that Nimaisi killed was melting, as if it had infiltrated the meadow with snow, leaving a dark blue hexagonal crystal. Brando's smile stuck to his face.

“Hmm...” Nimaisie also found what was on her feet, and she picked it up gently: “This is...”

“Frost Heart!” Brando barely screamed.

“Martha, how did your face get better?” He stared at the female knight and said, “This thing has only a 0.003% drop rate! ”

Nimaisie looked at him with hatred and replied, "I told you, I'm not her.”

“But it's not as dark as it gets.” Brando couldn't bear to defame his belly, and he felt a little palpitated when he thought about the experience of the knight driving his body several times before he grew up.

“What did you say? ”

“No, just a sigh...” Brando shrugged.

Nimaisie glanced at the gem on her hand and looked a little confused, but she obviously knew this thing. She raised her heart of ice: "Do you want this thing to work for you? ”

“It does a great job.” Brando took a deep breath and replied in confidence.

“But you're not made of elements, are you? ”

“I know, but it's more useful to me than the elements,” Brando replied.

Listening to his answer, Nimaisi did not hesitate much, as if what she had was garbage for her, she looked at the stone again and threw it at her hand. “Remember, don't compare me to her, I'm me, my name is Nimmasis.” Along with this action, the female knight commanded coldly.

Brando flashed slightly, and suddenly he thought: “Is that why you don't want to learn magic...? ”

But before I could finish the sentence, I was stared back by a Lensen's eye. “I'll go clean up the wound.” The knight left this sentence and disappeared behind the woods.

Brando actually had the answer, but he stayed a little while before bending over and picking up the frost. Open the panel and a familiar attribute immediately appears in his field of view:

Frost Heart

Wind and water element pool capacity +5%
