The Amber Sword

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

In the pitch-black lobby, only a ray of white light shone down the remaining dome, illuminated on the iron-cast cold marble floor, on which several bodies of black robes were poured vertically and vertically, the gleaming blood poured out of the sword wounds on their necks, injected along the circular grooves on the marble floor, and then formed a strange symbol, the bloody red blood flowing slowly, making the scene resemble the legendary evil ritual festival that summoned the devil.

When the blood was completely fused together, it seemed as if suddenly it had a life-like peristalsis, backflowing up, extending into the center of the Falls and into that elegant living body above the Falls. The next moment, the white wolf seemed to wake up gradually from a long sleep, the body began to move, and then, starting with the head, the white fur rolled backwards, as if stripping a fur coat, first revealing the head of a beautiful young girl, the sandalwood like bright long hair, then the soft shoulders of skin as white as milk, the fibrillation of the existing curve of the object appeared in front of everyone a little bit as the fur fell off.

The girl's flawless ketone body eventually appeared in front of everyone, closing her eyes as if her soul were trapped in a permanent dream, and only slight ups and downs in her chest proved that the eldest daughter of Essex had not really died. There was a lot of commotion in the lobby, and even some people breathed heavily.

Coward's eyelashes swayed slightly, as if they were the first flowers. Then he opened his eyes and revealed a pair of silver eyes, which were foggy. Some of her lazily and powerlessly climbed up from the ground and her long hair, originally scattered on the ground, was converging, as if it were a black waterfall up against the current, the girl raised her head, and some looked at the people in front of her confused eyes.

“Who are you?” The sound is cool and charming, but it's a little too cold.

The bleak Coward, the legendary eldest daughter of Ashes, the master of the proud moon, and one of the twelve running wolves under dusk, comes from a vicious beast before the chaotic era. There have long been rumours that she has fallen prey to the role of Fortress Babel. At this moment, however, Herr's famous name in history is no longer a symbol to stop the child, but she has returned to the land of Warnde and recovered from her eternal sleep.

Alec took a breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart, taking a step forward: "Lord Coward, we are all followers of the truth. ”

“Oh," Coward said softly, “I get it. You're welcoming me back, trying to reopen the dusk, right? ”

“Exactly. ”

“But I'm weak and I can't help you much. ”

“It's okay, my lord, we have plenty of time. When you disengage from the seal, under the influence of the Great Tide, the power slowly returns to its full height. ”

Coward was a little embarrassed: "But I don't want to. ”

Alec returned to his neighborhood with all the high-ranking members, some of whom looked at her with suspicion.

The maiden's eyelids dripped slightly, seemingly frightened, and crisply replied: "I don't want to be in the war any more. My mother promised me that this would be the last time I would run before dusk. I gave my life for my mother and queen. Should I be free by now?” She raised her head and looked at the others with foggy silver eyes: "May I leave? ”

death-like silence in the hall.

……

‘Fourth mark:‘ Fidsor's judgment is not necessarily accurate, but from the date of signing it remains our only reliable choice - ’the fourth mark improves the holder's blood attribute, which is equal to 5% of the attribute. ’

When the ice-covered stone door was pushed open, a cold breeze came in, causing everyone to shrink their necks. This brings Brando back to God from his own mind. The fourth mark is the skill he acquired from the second seal of the talent of the fool, from the dragon crystal of wisdom. This skill has some chicken ribs for him. Blood is the main attribute of the practitioner, but his profession is that of a warrior, an advanced chapel knight and the guardian of the frost earth of the future cannot relate to magic.

He raised his head and a snowy valley appeared in his field of view, and the cold breeze in the valley gave him visibility of no more than five meters. This is the lower part of the White Gorge, which is home to a glacier, frost-phaged giant bug, created by the falling body of Milos during the Dusk War. But Brando immediately felt a little strange, and according to reason, once the Twins died, Frost Phagocyte's ‘Frost Tooth’ should have appeared in the neighborhood, a game setting, but not here.

Outside the valley, the north wind is brisk, but no sign of any living creature can be seen.

“Be careful.” Brando tightened the cape and had to warn people to be vigilant.

The exit of the cold corridor is halfway down the hill, and the team slides down the steep ice wall to the bottom of the valley step by step, but the imaginary monster does not appear, and nothing in the valley seems empty, except the world covered with snow and the sounds of shouting. Veronica, who had been warned beforehand, looked at Brando as if he were asking, which made him a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to argue, so he had to shut up.

“Most of the things documented in the literature are for a certain period of time," Veronica said to him voluntarily, “and the location of the monster's lair is not immutable, for thousands of years, enough for them to swim elsewhere. ”

“Yes, this is indeed the case in the literature.” The poet nodded, and she was an expert in that regard.

Brando nodded yes, but in fact he knew that he was not literary, but Veronica's words gave him another possibility. Contrary to their guess, Frost Phage was not leaving, but might not have come here to nest. After all, this is game time, and before this copy opens, the Black Firemen have not yet begun to invade the temple, and in fact very few people in this era know this relic.

If that were the case, the road would be much safer. In other words, Brando still has a hidden sense of insecurity.

The lower level of the White Gorge was not the first area to be discovered in the game, and the players first defeated the Stars from the main entrance into the Temple of the Hibernates, beating the Black Fire Teacher according to standard procedures before exploring the distractions in the Temple. Then the spiral lobby was discovered, and in turn they entered the glacier, and finally found the cold corridor and the underground entrance to the temple, where something could be permanently changed, and the challenges might not be the same as the order of entry.

He was thinking about it, but there was a disturbance behind the team, and he turned around and found out that it was the Hunter Girl, Paia, who woke up with her brother.

“Brando.” A voice comes from the heart, needless to say, which is naturally the voice of Lady Pokémon Saint Osor. When Brando frowned, he felt that St. Osor was not the only person in the spiritual world.

“Huh?" St. Osor's voice was a little surprised: “Did you notice that? Looks like you're much more acute than you were then, and your mental strength and blood potential have slowly been tapped out, which has changed a lot compared to that stunning blue one at the beginning. ”

Brando knew what she was saying about leaving Butch, and from then on until what happened under the silver mine in Schafflund, he didn't realize that there was another soul in his spiritual world, and it was too dull to say.

“So who are these two?” There should be two spiritual forces beside St. Osor, but even without asking, he can implicitly guess who he is.

“It's Angeline and Ivan, and I don't have to introduce them to you. ”

Anquilli and Ivan are both close knights of St. Osor, the former known as the Dragon Queen, the famous female dragon knight in the history of the Fog Elves and possibly throughout the history of the long river, and the latter the commander of the Fluttershy Forest Guard, unlike the imposter Otales, who is a true bow expert.

“Hello, my name is Brando, and I am currently heir to Lord St. Osor. ”

“Hello, Mr. Brando. ”

“Hello.” The first two voices responded, "The first voice is a gentleman, while the second voice is a cold woman, and the answer is concise; the voices of the two people are full of character, as if they could be approximated at a moment's notice.

Brando suddenly remembered that St. Osor had said that the hunter's brother had her letters, so he had one for each sister and one for each brother. That's strange. How many wind rings have flowed into Eruin? Even if this thing is lost as the national treasure of St. Osor, it should flow to powerful countries like Cruz and Fanzan, because only the nobles in these countries have the means and the treasure to collect this level of artifact.

“A little strange. ”

“Strange? ”

“How many wind rings have flowed into Eruin, and with this one in my hand, there are already three. ”

“You forgot the Williams one, and now you have it too.” St. Osor whispered.

“That doesn't count.” Brando shook his head.

"I asked Evan," Ms. Elf explained, "that the two brothers should be descendants of the Minors and Mountains expelled from St. Osor. ”

Brando suddenly made sense that the Minors had a lot to do with the Fog Elves, or stole the ring to escape, which of course was difficult to find out, after all, a thousand years ago.

“So she and her brother are your heirs?” He asked.

“Mr. Brando, they have this potential, but for the moment, it's too weak for my brother. We would not have woken up if His Majesty had not been here today.” The answer was Ivan, but Brando felt Anquilli nodding beside him.

“Unless they're in danger? ”

Evan didn't answer this time, only Angeline nodded again. With Brando in mind, Paia was lucky not to die in the glacier, which seemed to be the dragon queen's pen. But where's her brother Aruta? Metisa, they've checked, and Aruta's been hurt pretty badly, and hopes of survival won't exceed 30%, even if she gets prompt medical attention. But what's amazing is that the wound was left at least a week or two ago, and the appearance of not receiving any healing is natural healing. Is this also the credit of these elf foremen?

It is not impossible, of course, after all, that he had experienced it once in Butch, when he was suddenly in a coma with his indomitable talents on, which should have been necessarily fatal, and yet St. Osor saved his life after the wind.

But there is still a question.

“Paia, why is her brother under the glacier and he's not with them? ”

“That's exactly what I'm going to tell you, Brando," replied Lady Pokémon, "I'm afraid nobody understands what he's been through. ”

“What?”

“Evan's perception was isolated for a while until just now. ”

“To what extent does it take to isolate Lord Ivan's perception?” Brando asks sharply.

“It's not hard, your teacher can do it. ”

“That means at least we need the power of extreme boundaries?” Brando had a slight flash in his heart, and the entire Hibernate Temple should not be so powerful, "does he know?” This time he asked about Aruta.

“I asked, the kid didn't know, or he felt like he was having a dream, half a dream, half awake, and he remembered that there was a voice guiding him forward or something.” St. Osor hesitated for a moment: "But he mentioned the blue shadow. ”

“Blue shadow?” Brando closed his eyes slightly: "Metissa told me the same thing. ”

“Hmm?”

“The Cruz told her, or Freya.” Brando muttered, raising his head, the wind and snow in the glacier in front of him, but the implicit feeling hidden behind the mist made this moment hundreds of times clearer. He's almost certain that something is leading them here.

But not the king of the Frost Knight.

……

Smellable needles in the pitch-black lobby.

Until Alec broke this silence, he replied:

“I'm afraid not."

“Why?” Coward looked at the people in front of him, some of them didn't understand: “The Empress has promised me, why are you stopping me? ”

Alec's eyebrows were all wrinkled up, and he had no idea that he was going to encounter the situation at the moment. Ashes' eldest daughter, the master of the proud moon, the first wolf to bring disaster and war, was bargaining with him here like a naive little girl, asking him why he was starting a war? Shouldn't that be her job? Had it not been for the innocent silver eyes of the other party, he would have almost thought the adult was joking with him.

But the plan has come this far and must not be retreated or abandoned.

Anrek exchanged a look with the believers around him and then turned back and said, "Because you are the daughter of Ashes, it is your duty, and judgment day is approaching, and you are the first wolf to rise from dusk. ”

“But I don't want to.” Coward replied frighteningly.

“I'm afraid it's not up to you, Lord Coward.” Alec sighed and replied in a gloomy manner.

He frightened the girl back a step, but immediately behind her a red light net appeared, leaving her overwhelmed with protection against collisions. This is some kind of magic ban. She struggled a little panicked and found that she couldn't break it. The long seal had made her strength drop by a number of grades. In the past, to that extent, she was banned from breaking down with just one breath, but now there was no way.

She turned around and looked at the others with some fear: "What do you want to do? ”

But by this time, Alec had taken a black crystal ball out of his robe. “I didn't think it was going to work. To be honest, I don't want to owe the guys below.” The Duke shook his head and raised the crystal ball. And when Coward saw that thing, he immediately changed color. She glanced at the disgusting human in front of herself and shouted in panic, "That's a piece of my soul, why is it in your hand!?” The girl looked pale and almost shivered.

Alec's face does not change color, but he answers respectfully: "Forgive my offense, Lord Coward. ”

“No!”

……

Brando was talking to St. Osor, but suddenly he remembered something. He stopped talking as if he was suddenly in his mind. The elf lady in his spiritual world sensed this silence and asked, “What is it, Brando? ”

“Nothing, just remembering one thing.” Brando was silent for a while before answering.

“What is it?”

“This temple has one of the daughters of Esis sleeping here. ”

“Dark Coward, the eldest daughter of Ashes, didn't you ever mention? ”

“Really?” Brando shook his head unintentionally, but there was something else in his mind. Coward has the title of 'Goddess of the Two Sides' in the game, because the player and her battles go through two stages over and over again, in which Coward's personality also switches between the character of a simple and pure teenager and the character of the evil Elder Daughter of Essex. To be honest, good Coward still has a lot of fans among the players, but it is not surprising in itself that most of the BOSS battles in the Sword of Amber are strange and the BOSS of the Double Character is more than one, but the reason he recalls this is because some people think that Coward is not her nature in the evil state.

Among the players who have gone through the battle with Coward, there is a saying that when Coward is on the evil side, the whole person is actually manipulated.

But there was little ground for such a statement, and Brando thought it was just a self-deception by fanatical lovers. It was just that he suddenly thought of the sound that had led everyone into the temple, and the blue shadow had to feel creepy. That thing used to have some kind of contract with Starr at some point in time, but even Starr himself couldn't say what the other person really was. Who is it and what is its purpose?

Brando can only think of one name: the God of Awakening.

But what is the god of awakening, and why do we gather them here?

The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks it could be a trap.

But unfortunately, there is no room for retreat now, otherwise, as long as Anrek activates the star jewel in his hand, everyone will be ashed with this forest.

“What kind of bad luck is that?” Brando had a few words in his heart.
