The Amber Sword

Brando's eyes crossed Francis's grip and stayed on the fourth item. It's a tiny mirror with a silver handle with a very beautiful wave-like pattern engraved on the frame, sort of like a ladies' item. There are hundreds of millions of pieces of equipment in Amber, and he can't possibly know them all, except for some very famous ones or those he's used. He picked up the mirror and a light green light screen spread over it. At first glance at the text above, Brando could not help but gently pick a brow.

“Turns out this is the thing...”

“What is this?” While Brando's eyes fell on that little mirror, Phyllis noticed the most exquisite little thing in all of this. As a nobleman, he still instinctively gives priority to the gorgeous appearance.

Brando, lift that mirror--

Valora's dresser.

Triple Chop Level +1

Additional Skills:

The Shadow of Reality — Valora's dressing mirror replicates all lies, and using Valora's dressing mirror to select a target replicates its ability to use it last. This capability is stored in the mirror in a real-life illusion, and the user can use it once to pay for one-tenth of its consumption. (Cooling time, one day)

Night Goddess dresser, this mirror is a very interesting item in Amber. It can replicate, but the ability to do so is presented in illusion, only that the illusion is a real illusion - as long as the surgeon believes it to be real, he has to bear all the corresponding effects.

But if he doesn't believe it, the spell is simply an illusion for him.

So using this mirror is very skillful. If your copying skills are too bizarre, most people won't believe it. But there are also people who go the other way, specializing in some very strange skills —— skills made possible by swordsman elements, often when you don't believe it, control spells like Cold Ice Claws really fall on you.

Brando had heard the name of the mirror in the past, but had never seen the object. He took the mirror and explained it to Phyllis, of course, not in so much detail as to say that it was a relic of a beautiful knight who had the ability to replicate illusions.

I didn't expect to hear that in the eyes of the latter, I couldn't help but ask: “Wait, may I have this mirror please, Count? ”

Phyllas, although ostensibly hung, still received a noble education in his bones. In terms of aristocratic etiquette, they found this skeleton together, but Phyllis knew it was just a case of Brando selling him.

For the aristocrats, inviting each other to look at the spoils during a winter hunt is already a privilege of the highest standard. Ferris didn't naively think he was really eligible to share the trophy, and he could see that Brando could find it even if he didn't have to bring it with him; however, he didn't mention the word 'buy', and in their circle, such an interview was undoubtedly very disrespectful or even insulting.

Especially Brando, who is now taller than him.

When Phyllis talks like that, it means he's going to pay him back in the future. Brando also heard the unexpected words, some looking at each other unexpectedly. He doesn't understand how important this mirror is to each other and needs to be repaid with one person.

The higher you know, the less you like to owe. Phyllis himself is but a trainee knight, but don't forget that in the future he will be a prince on the side of the Cruz Empire.

Seeing Brando is a little confusing, Phyllis explains: "Count, you mentioned that this is a beautiful woman's lifetime relic. I think it must be worthy of Laurena, and I've always wanted to give her a gift. ”

“So that's it.” Brando, that's how I reacted. I didn't know this guy was romantic. He looked at the silver mirror in his hand —— to be honest, it was a wonderful magic wonder that could do a lot of good even if he used it himself. But, on the other hand, it's certainly a good option to get the fondness of Laurena and Phyllis.

He had offended a number of people in the Cruz Empire, especially the killing of Williams, although Woodcover described the deputy chief as having died in a covert attack with the devil. But these statements can only fool the general public; after Cruz himself was a big family, his relatives and friends were extremely powerful people, and even if they didn't bother him for a moment, they inevitably took offense behind his back.

Not to mention the fact that a prime minister's gold has been surprisingly added to the blacklist recently. The prime minister's grand gold had never been seen by Brando in Amber, but the famous Imperial prime minister was a fighter in the game. And his faction is completely different from the Temple of Williams, so he says he offends both forces of the Empire at the same time.

So he had to consider pulling the moderates in the empire together. After all, Eruin had said before that the politics of Eruin could not circumvent the Empire and the Wind Elves. Although that was helpless, it was the true picture of this ancient kingdom. Not to mention that the Princess Party has not yet unified Eruin, and even if its wings have been enriched, the geography of Eruin makes it impossible for Brando to completely isolate the kingdom from the Cruz and Wind Elves.

Although he spoke of breaking from the Temple of Fire, Brando's heart was clear. Before Eruin truly becomes an empire, the best option is to remain neutral between the Temple after the wind and the Temple of Fire.

His views also derive from that first philosophy.

His name was Valladillon, and he was Tulaman's teacher in the universe. The Korkova dynasty was founded, ‘White King' Edward Denki to the ministers of the kingdom in the early centuries of Ansen XI. He was also the creator of the Zhongxing Era, saying that Tulaman and his own grandfather Darus were nothing more than the shade of this ancestor.

Brando's offer to help Veronica was not without consideration, and the family of Laurena and Firas also had a lot of influence in Cruz. The key is that the family of Phyllas has a good family relationship with Fayna, and if both families can be pulled together, the Empire will have the power to counteract those potential enemies.

Of course, the most critical point is. Brando had a good impression of Phyllis and Laurena, both descendants of the great nobility, but not arrogant. By contrast, he had to question the family education of the so-called Imperial Chancellor and Grand Duke Hana.

Fortunately, Faina is rude, but not bad. The prime minister, Kim Kim, he was a little too brave to compliment.

And Brando has always believed that personal qualities can determine many things, and if Phyllis and Laurena had a virtue with the destructive noble offspring, even if the family behind them had become more powerful in Cruz, he would have despised them. Although he had already said goodbye to everything he had in the past, Brando's inner heart had always maintained the loneliness and pride of the last line of the Dead Game House, otherwise he would not have caused so much trouble today if he had compromised.

At the end of the day, Eruin had nothing to do with him.

He glanced at Phyllis and threw the mirror away. “You are the guests, I am the owner, and the owner should give the guests gifts, so don't be so polite. Besides, these are things that are inherently uninhabited, and perhaps Ms. Laurena in the midst of the underworld is the owner of her choice. ”

“Exactly.” Phyllas' eyes shine: "But, Count, you are truly the most generous gentleman I have ever met. When I get the chance to invite you to the Cruz Empire, I will surely treat you as my most honorable guest. ”

Brando smiled a little, and the guy said that, basically, he was treated as someone worth dating. But he didn't care too much about the location, it was just an opportunity to really make a close connection or to need a benefit.

But he had the opportunity, so he wasn't in a hurry. Brando had the idea of developing the Black Forest, the most rare commodity in the Black Forest for the whole of Vaughn, and with its incredible specialties, he did not believe that the Cruz nobility could sit down. Even the imperial aristocracy, the bigger the family, the more amazing the expense. Do the Imperial nobles have their own property? Especially the Cruz upper society, which pursues a luxurious life, when what he has in his hand will surely interest each other.

Phyllas did have the aura of an extended family, and as a nobleman, of course, he understood the value of the Goddess of Night's dressing mirror, but when he put it away, he didn't care as much as if he had put away an ordinary mirror. And he looked at the other things on the ground, and he said, "Where are these things, Count? Should you also know them? ”

Brando gently tapped his head and introduced him to the ring and Francis' grip. But, of course, he didn't go into so much detail, he just pointed out the approximate value and history of these two magical objects. In fact, he was well aware that noble brothers like Phyllis would not be interested in the practical use of these things, but rather that the background of these magical objects was more attractive to them.

After telling Francis the story of the ‘unjust knight’, Brando's eyes fell on the last thing. It was before he saw that tooth, kind of like a wolf tooth, but Brando looked closely and found that it was actually a bone dragon tooth.

This is great stuff. Bone Dragon's Tooth, as one of the most precious materials in Amber, uses it to cast armor to gain the ability to resist the curse of aging. Inserting it into a weapon gives it the special power of an aging curse.

In the last generation, the price of a dragon's teeth was hundreds of thousands of torres a piece. Brando had done everything he could to get one, but at that time, the weapon that this thing was made of was of little use to him, because it was recognized in Amber that the player with the time element was the best fit for it.

The reason is simple. The chances of triggering an aging curse offered by Bone Dragon's Fang range from a minimum of 1% to a maximum of 2.5%, and depending on the effect of the forging, the chances of triggering are arguably quite low. This trigger probability is somewhat chicken ribbed for the average player, but different for players with time elements, because having time elements means having the active element effect of passing away.

The passing active element effect is described as‘ as long as the line of law tends to stabilize, the user's attack can affect the enemy and cause it to age rapidly ’, in fact proactively triggering the curse of aging. And this effect can be superimposed on the dragon's teeth themselves, which is equivalent to basically doubling the efficiency of the aging curse when the dragon's teeth are turned on.

As one of the few high-end items of the previous generation, Brando has been remembering the effects of this. And here, he has a space-time attribute that is higher than the time element. This thing was born for him.

When he picked up this tooth, he couldn't help but look at Phyllis and soften his eyes. This is a god of fortune. If you bring this guy a copy every time, it won't be long before you can graduate.

And of course, he knew it was just a thought, and Phillas and Laurena were unlikely to stay in Eruin forever. I'm sure as soon as Alex dies, they and Veronica will return to the Cruz Empire.

“Hey, is this the Dragon's Tooth?” Phyllis also seemed to recognize Brando's possession.

Brando was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised: "Do you know him? ”

“Ah, I guess I've heard,” Phyllis replied with a little pride, "I hear this is the tooth removed from Madara's skeletal dragon, right? ”

“No.” Before Brando opened his mouth, Haruzer beside him interrupted him, and he said naively: “Madara's skeletal dragon is nothing more than a monster assembled with the bones of Aaron. The real dead dragon is a dead adult dragon family. Only a few dragons have been transformed into dead spirits throughout Warnde. Their power is almost as great as it was in his lifetime. Even His Majesty, the Emperor with the mercury wand, respects them.”

“Huh.” Brando shifted his gaze to the little prince, whose face was slightly red, with curly soft hair adhering obediently to his forehead, and his eyes glowing and gleaming in darkness, illuminating crystals, looking very feminine. But he insisted, “My sister told me that. ”

“Your sister, Princess Griffin?” Phyllis reacted.

“As my sister said, Madara is the enemy of Eruin's life and death. Although you Krutz have been trying to manipulate the kingdom's authority, you will not, after all, plunge the kingdom into flames. However, for the dead, the line between life and death is very easy to break...”

Haruze seemed to hold his breath and look at Phyllis: "But I've always wondered, we're all human beings, why can't we work together against the monsters in the dark? ”

“Well...” Phyllis was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but grab his hair.

Brando looked at the guy with some sympathy, and he wasn't good enough to explain to Haruze that Madara's skeleton wasn't technically a monster. After all, the dead are part of the world, and they are not real immortals, but just another way of being.

In fact, in Warnde, Madara's dead spirits, like Cruz's humans, the St. Osor wind elves, believed in Martha, a symbol of order. Just an admirer of the dark order, a heart to the light.

But it cannot be said that Princess Griffin was wrong, and that the line between life and death is fragile, but the two exist quite differently after all. There are not a few examples of the centuries-old invasion of the eastern border of Eruin by the dead, such as Butch, and as a human being it is really difficult to think from the perspective of the dead.

He sighed and rubbed the little prince's hair: “Did your sister tell you all this? ”

“Lord Nimmasis also said some...”

It's almost like Brando guessed. But he didn't intend to continue on the subject, patting the little prince on the shoulder. Then he turned around and pulled his armor from the skeleton and tore the already decaying skeleton into pieces.

“Mr. Brando, you...” Fellas surprised, and Shea, standing at the end of the line, stared at her lord in surprise. Mountain dwellers, like nobles, have great respect for the dead.

But Brando looked at the armor and explained: “As you can see, ordinary people don't carry bone plates with writing on them and swords with curses. There is only one category that will use them. ”

Fellas was slightly overreacted: “Wait, Count, you mean...”

Brando nodded, and he was basically able to confirm that this thing was a skeleton. More likely a Skeleton Knight. He was influenced by the player's strategy beforehand, but now he wants to come to the strategy is a very early product, and things like secret skeletons are gradually becoming familiar to everyone after the player's identity in the game has improved slightly, so it is entirely possible to make a slight omission in the attack.

This reminded him, on the contrary, that some tactics were likely to be limited due to different time periods and that he had to make his own judgement.

Brando handed Phyllas the armor in his hand: "It's an enchanted armor, and the Skull Knight's armor has no special power, but it's a staggering defense. You can swap it later, and it's not just the demons that go in from here. ”

Ferris frowned and looked at Brando's dirty, grey armor, which was very rare and precious, even in Amber, and of course he knew that. However, there are some things that he had to wear to pull out of the dead...

Phyllis swallowed his mouth and said dry, “Well, I'll find a way to wash it.” In fact, he also knows that he is basically the worst in the team on this trip. Brando gave him this suit of armor just to keep him from dragging the back legs so much later.

But anyway, he glanced at Brando with gratitude and then took over this armor with the stench of a corpse.

Brando turned around again, and he estimated that the time outside was almost up, so he speeded up the movement. This time he pulled out of a pile of bones the skeleton knight's lifetime weapon - a flame-shaped sword.

Once he drew the sword out, Haruze behind him couldn't bear it.

“What's the matter?” Phyllis was familiar with the little prince by now and asked immediately.

“This is…”

“This is the tooth of a lion,” Brando said, somewhat appreciatively looking at the sword in his hand, and somewhat unexpectedly, “it was accompanied by a sword from the guard next to King Acme, and the method of forging it had long been lost for centuries. Looks like we have a history of being a knight--”

“Mm-hmm." Haruze nodded heavily.

“What's wrong with this sword?” Phyllis looked at Haruze's eyes sparkling and curious.

“No, very well.” Brando lifted his sword in the slightest light of the illuminating crystal and smiled slightly: “Eleven knights, all of them sparkling figures, beside the first King Acme. Oh, by the way, you see that silent, unspeakable knight next to Freya? ”

Ferasmo nodded, of course, and he saw the knight of the lake, who had always been outside the crowd.

“They are legends...”

Brando exclaimed, turning the blade and passing the blade handle direction to Haruze. He smiled at the little prince of Eruin and asked, "How's it going? ”

Haruze watched the countess move.

“Count, Count... you're giving it to me?” He's almost incredible.

“Historically, the tooth of a lion belongs to a truly brave man. You fought before, though not as good a fighter. But only those who can defeat themselves are true warriors--”

Brando replied, "Isn't it good enough for you? Your Highness? ”

“No... I, I just...” Haruze was both surprised and excited. His eyes were as bright as silver gems. He couldn't help but hold a little face red: “But this is a hero's sword, I, I just think...”

“You just don't think you deserve it?” Brando shook his head: "If you feel you need to be braver, you should take this sword and prove yourself. ”

“Besides, you're not just trying to prove it for a sword--”

Brando handed the sword to him: "This is your trophy, and the legend has it that the man of the mountain declares adulthood when he acquires his weapon, hence the sword is your responsibility from now on. ”

Brando nodded at him not far away as he raised his head.

“I, I understand, Count...”

This is the almost invisible voice of Haruze.
