The Amber Sword

Foggy streets.

The young girl at the candle store was walking slowly with a bundle of sheep oil candles. The white rose avenue in the Grey Capital was recovering in the early morning light. Maperi, the owner of the Tetu grocery store, was opening the store door and greeting the young girl when she saw her:

“Seti, so early? ”

“Good morning, Mr. Maperi!” Setti replied with a smile: "Because of the rush in the palace, it's natural to be early. ”

“I saw you busy late yesterday, too. Isn't that too hard? ”

“Ah, because Father's legs are not easy, as a daughter, that's what I should do. ”

“Old Chris is so blessed to have such a good daughter.” The owner of the grocery store complained angrily, "Unlike that bastard in my house. ”

The girl held the candle and smiled with a smile. She was about to answer. Suddenly, a burst of rain and horseshoe sounded on the avenue leading to the St. Silver Palace. Everybody shut up unconsciously, the pedestrians on the street backed off to both sides, Seti stood in the crowd with candles, and frowned and looked south of the avenue ——

The fog rolled up.

A dark carriage floated like a ghost at the end of the horizon, dozens of knights dressed in grey capes, as if they were mercenaries in a whirlwind, opening their way, the horses seated by the knights were black as ink, and the armor on them was like a flame.

Grey Knight of the Temple of Fire.

The wagon slowly passed before people started talking again.

“It's the Kirk family,” said the grocery store owner, Maperi, looking in the direction of the wagon's disappearance. He turned back: “Seti, I heard the nobles fought a defeat in the south, your brother he...”

“My brother, he must be fine. ”

The Rose Garden Gate at St. Cantipe's Palace is opposite, and the pure white avenue leads to the shady lands of the royal gardens.

In St. Cantipe's Palace, the black marble seemed to strike the carpet, and the silver-torn rose stretched out along the dark, sunken ground; the supreme of the empire sat on the famous stone throne with its narrow back, cold, slightly overhead, listening to the temple monks of flame ring the gold clock seven times.

The famous motto was engraved three inches above her head - there must be thorns beneath the rose - the silver queen of the Cruz, their supreme queen, His Majesty, Constance had a doll face and her body was maintained as it was when she was young for special reasons, a long blonde hair almost as low as her waist, looking like a fine doll, but in fact the queen like this young girl was already the mother of seven children and a typical Cruz.

In the eyes of other peoples, a typical Cruz means arrogant, eye-catching, imperial. Within the political map of the Empire, this represents a strong and iron arm, which is particularly evident in Her Majesty.

The Queen's gaze is flat in front of her. In view of the scenery she has seen day in and day out, the Golden Palace has no gates, and the Emperor's power is unlimited. The sight is everywhere, both within the boundaries of the Empire and in the backyard of the Empire's conquerors.

But there, the sky clouds in the north of the palace are rolling low, as if they were breeding a rare storm that Vaughn has never experienced in a thousand years and that no one has necessarily seen retroactively, so no one will understand at this moment how it will unravel a magnificent era for the world.

Looking straight ahead, the Silver Queen's eyes never fell on her own prince, but she suddenly waved her hands a little irritated, interrupting the words of the next dynasty.

“I don't want to hear you talk about what's going on in the south. The Ashley family, your empire's oldest daughter, has provoked Druid in the ring of the wind, and I can forgive you. ”

“The Ruperts, Williams, lost the war in the hands of the Eloins, but he is dead, and the dead are not guilty. ”

“I just want to know two things. One, who gave Williams the power to mobilize the Border Fleet? Two, who defeated our Eruin, who was the new Count Tonigle, and whether he would arm the kingdom of heaven, what was his relationship with the uninhabitable knights of the North..."

Constance's calm and waveless voice had just fallen, and Williams' family occupied the hall in the direction of a sweaty old man who crawled out on his knees: "Your Majesty, give us this opportunity with mercy, and we will find out who he is. He is not only an enemy of the Empire, he is also an enemy of our family. ”

Constance just glanced at Duke Cecil--

She raised her head: "Eruin is no longer important to today's empire, I just want them to agree to participate in jihad in the name of the Temple. Now that the wizards of Buga are getting involved, tell them to take it away, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the elves of St. Osor. ”

“But, Your Majesty, Eruin has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Temple of Fire.” A voice came, and the queen moved her gaze that way and found herself interrupted by the High Priest, Quick. She didn't change her face, she just floated and asked, "Master Quick, are you talking to me about teaching or government? ”

Quick's face changed, even silently.

“I was very concerned about the rumors that the Tianqing gun had been excavated in Eruin, and this matter was left to Zhuqing. ”

Constance stood up from the throne, short, but nobody dared. No one dared to breathe in St. Cantipe's Palace for a moment, and the Queen looked around before leaving accompanied by her inner waiter.

Around the corner of the Palazzo San Cantipe, the Kirk family and the Ashleigh family are almost together. The Duke of Helix and Count Rodney sent the queen away, who couldn't help but whisper: “Before you made contact with His Majesty, it was hard to imagine a woman who had mastered the empire for forty years, in shame, and when she was young, I used her as an object of fantasy. ”

“Your Majesty was merely stumbling through a special experience that kept her appearance constant at a young moment. Seriously, when I was your age, Her Majesty was already like this.” The Duke of Helix is white with gray eyebrows inserted straight into his face, the old nobleman is covered in frost, but there is no shelf when talking to Count Rodney, a lifetime younger than him - the Flower Leaf Collar Kirks are known to be very close to the Ashlicks, and Veronica, the contemporary parent of the Ashlicks, is even the swordsmanship teacher of his granddaughter under Helix's knees, "Her Majesty's body hasn't been the same in recent times, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to let the princes of this generation go out to practice. ”

Count Rodney nodded, and at the same time he looked mercifully at the Grand Duke of Cecil, who had been left alone by the Silver Queen, and said, "The Cecil family is in bad luck this time, Williams has really left them in a lot of trouble. ”

“Don't be too happy,” the Duke shook his head unexpectedly. At his age, he had actually seen too many ups and downs: “Don't look at Cecil, the old man was fearful in the face of His Majesty, but there was still room for me to deal with you. ”

“Against us?” Rodney's a little confused: “Why is he dealing with us? We're not messing with him. Is he crazy? ”

“You're about to ask your sister what she did in the ring of the wind, Your Majesty, and we all know that. You'd better persuade her not to get too close to those Eruins and listen to Her Majesty and not necessarily be satisfied with what she did before.” The Duke of Helix replied.

“Hey," Count Rodney sighed, apparently remembering Veronica: "How can I persuade her that she has her own thoughts? But I don't think Her Majesty would be too flirtatious if he made her his grand prince's teacher. ”

The Duke patted this young man on the shoulder, "So we're not necessarily in a better position to get there than Cecil, only you and I were unlucky at this time, and Eruin were involved at this time. The other day Veronica sent the Chancellor's precious daughter back, offending one of the most powerful people in the King's capital, and the last trip to the Wind Ring, the parents of the deceased family may not be satisfied with us. ”

“What are we going to do now?” Rodney suddenly felt a little creepy.

“Find someone. ”

“Looking for someone? ”

The Duke of Helix nodded. “Forget the attitude of others, what we need to do is change His Majesty's logging of us. And what His Majesty meant was obvious. She didn't care about Eruin's position, she just wanted the Tianqing gun. ”

“Wait, Tianqing's gun… you mean the Count Toniguer? ”

‘Book Roll of the Moon, 22nd, Sunny--

As a result of the guide's efforts, our carriage passed through the mouth of Fort Blanc on schedule. It is said that only on the side of the Anlek mountains close to the sea of the Dead Moon can we see the marvel of the carriage paralleling the sailboats on the surface of the sea, but unfortunately the heavens failed to get us what we wanted, because of the season after the summer, because of the wind direction and the current, there were very few boats close to the surface of Del Del Tal, and this afternoon we finally said goodbye to several days of trekking and arrived in Ranto your land -

Luther, remember Odapei.

Brando obviously had no idea that someone was still talking about him a thousand miles away, and all he had to do now was answer Veronica's question.

“Gods of awakening? ”

Surash, the god of awakening, has been a legend in Amber Sword.

In the game, the Dead Frost Forest Center team has a copy of eight BOSS: Essex's little daughter, the bleak Coward; and the twins of the Dusk Wolves disaster - Mayne and Mel. The Ice Phagocyte of the Palace of Lower; Eric the Dark Fireman's chief wizard, the 'Illusionist'; Milos' Heart's autonomous defensive weapon, the core of the frost. The Black Fireman's bishop, Roderick the Head of the Black Fire, and now he's with them —— the Goddess of the Gates, Frost Dragon, Starr.

In fact, however, there has always been a rumor among players that there should still be a hidden BOSS in this temple. Almost awake, Sulash.

This rumor begins with a series of task chains that exist in Northern Way Nzan: there is a diary at the Knights of the Far Eagle headquarters in White City that triggers a mission, and the owner of the diary is the former head of the Far Eagle, an identity that is not unique in itself, but the contents of the diary are strange.

Brando went to the Knight Nation of Gracius before and after and did this assignment on his way, so he also remembered the contents of the diary fresh.

The diary records the story of the young age of the great leader, when he was just an ordinary mercenary, unrelated to the famous Knights of Mercenaries Faraway Eagle, and he wrote about his adventures around the world with an archaeological troupe, which the owner was proud of, because it was rarely heard by ordinary people, but there were also things that the owner of the diary could not understand.

One of the most famous is the mystery of Odapei.

The diary says that in the summer of 312, the year of Thunder, more than half a century ago, when Anson XI of Eruin had just taken office, a militia training decree had been promulgated, and the Middle Age of Eruin had just begun, and the owner of the diary followed his archaeological regiment to this small kingdom on the edge of Cruz.

They crossed the plateau along the Eruinkruz border, visited the remains of the Minors there, then went south, crossed Ambesseur, and arrived at a fishing village in Odapei, where the owner of the diary described an interesting thing they saw.

They found that the inhabitants were worshipping a god with a specific image.

‘This is a very interesting thing, the local people describe the God as having a thunderous look, his eyes flaming, his skin shining like silver, he comes from the south every night, he drives the flame, he patrols the sky and then he returns to the south. But as far as I know, since the knights of Tianqing broke through the dome and led to the falling stars, the arguments of the gods have subsided, and since then the gods have left Warnde with the gods, and although their laws remain to shelter our world, the figurative gods have long ceased to exist on this land. ’

This is how it is described in the diary. But surprisingly, in the days that followed, the owner of the diary also witnessed the coming of the god himself:

‘The red columns rose from the south, and the flames seemed to burn through the night sky in that direction, and the whole night sky was flaming red. I then witnessed with my own eyes the miracle that there seemed to be a path in the sky that did not exist, a god with a specific image strolling along it, circling the sky for a week before returning to the pillar of fire. To prove that I didn't make it up, I'm recording here the face of the god I saw, his skin was made of shiny metal, and his body flowed with silver light, surrounded by lightning, and his eyes were sprayed with a thin golden flame. ’

Subsequently, the Archaeological Corps left for the south to investigate the matter. Unfortunately, they were attacked by a dragon passing through the twin woods town between Bidavernon and the Golden Forest, which did not kill them but took all their supplies and had to cancel the temporary trip.

After returning to White City, the owner of the diary had been preoccupied with the matter, but unfortunately the trip was his last long trip. Shortly thereafter, he joined Far Eagle for compelling reasons, and although his brilliant insights and talents quickly placed him at the top of this cavalry of mercenaries and at the centre of power, the news of the fishing village in Odapei remained an unresolved question in his mind.

This question lasted until after the diary owner passed away, but did not follow until the player discovered the diary.

The fishing village of Odapei was expanded as Fort Violet for the Count of Odapei in the year of the Hydrocarbon, becoming the centre of the Odapei region, and today the south of Fort Violet is the Death Frost Forest.

According to historical literature, since the Forest Shadow years, local residents no longer see visions in the night sky. Although the incident once struck the Haveland Church in Lantoniland (an autonomous sect of the Temple of Fire), the adventure groups organized by the Church have not been able to make their way and the number of visions has been decreasing after about a year and a half.

Therefore, there is also a very scarce written record of this god, who has historically appeared, which creates enormous difficulties for the players to investigate later. Even though the player's strength has since grown to be able to enter the Death Frost Forest unaccompanied, it has still failed to solve this unresolved puzzle.

The question in the mind of the Faraway Eagle Commander has since become the most mysterious legend among players.

“So if Alex is really looking for that thing, that's fine.” Brando skipped the players' part and explained the diary a little bit to Veronica and others: "If Cybers, King of the Frost Knights, really wanted to remind us of this, it might save us a lot of time. ”

“What do you mean, Count?” Veronica hasn't spoken yet, and the scholarly lady poet standing next to her couldn't help but wonder, “Did the journal record some important information? ”

That's not true.

Brando thought that, if that were the case, the mystery would not be one of the biggest questions that the players had left unresolved.

But the problem is, now they have an unexpected harvest.

In fact, Brando and Veronica's eyes fell on Starr.

Before they were robbed, the first one to ask was Little Mother Dragon Aloz.

“Tell me exactly what's going on," Aloz stared at his own kind with golden eyes, revealing his little white fangs as a threat: “Don't tell me you didn't hear what that guy just said, or I'll rip your ears off. ”

“No!” Little Fat Dragon wretched his ear, screaming, “I don't know, I've been here a long time, but I've been sleeping a long time, and you know it, Sister Aloz. ”

“Really? So you robbed someone's motorcade while sleepwalking?” Little Dragon snorted, suddenly pounding over Starr's ear, making the latter scream like a pig. She said viciously, "Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth! ”

“Whoa, whoa, easy, sister! I said, I said!” Starr screamed.
