The Amber Sword

“I will.”

Freya slowly went back to the chair and grabbed her knee with some anxiety. Half a tongue, she whispered, "So what do we do, what do we use against the Dragon of Dusk? This time, the Golden Nation is no longer around us, not even the Silver People can escape. Without a hero like Tianqing's Knight to lead us, we will still be in battle with each other with our bare hands. When dusk comes, will we have a chance? ”

Milos did not answer, and a spark exploded in the bright flame of the fireplace.

Time is like sand in a hourglass, dotted and quietly echoing that boring buzz in space.

“With regard to the way forward, the future is as foggy for you and me as it is for me, not just me, not even a wise man like Crystal, not to dare say that he knows all the secrets of the universe. ”

“Not even the gods? ”

“Not even an adult mother knows. ”

Freya opened her mouth.

“But as long as you remain in charge of your destiny, there is still a chance that the Black Iron Generation must hold its destiny firmly in its own hands, which is the last blessing the Lord Mother has bestowed on you. ”

“This is the age of mortals. Neither the gods nor the dragons of dusk can intervene. The future, good or bad, is up to you to decide -”

“Is that why you chose us here, Lord Milos?” The Knight Girl took a gentle breath and finally realized the purpose of the father of the Frost Giant. In such an age, for whatever reason, an awake deity will no longer be needed, because the deity has long gone and is in a long roll of history.

“You're smart.” The voice repeats itself.

“What should I do?” Freya asked softly.

“Kill it with your long sword, as I said--”

Freya's eyes widened slightly, and she always thought it was a joke, but this time, that voice was serious. “But how could I have killed a god?” She couldn't help herself.

“Little girl, in your time, no longer has a god, no matter how it is resurrected, no matter what its identity is, when it appears in this world, it is destined to be just a pseudo-god.” The voice sighed and stopped slightly: “And you, Freya, this is your time...”

Freya looked across the table, empty in a chair, and seemed to be sitting on a wise elder, who had told her a long enough story for a short time.

And a lot of things she didn't need to know --

‘Clicking’ suddenly a long crack appeared on the floor of the room, and the constantly low buzz finally converged into a tsunami roar, the whole mountain vibrated, as if it were slowly sinking, tilting the floor of the whole room. Freya was almost thrown out of her position, and she hurried to hold the table and looked in that direction with amazement.

“This place seems to be disappearing...”

The voice stopped slightly and smiled gently.

“Lord Milos? ”

“Freya, remember my words, I'm waiting for you. ”

Freya suddenly held her breath, perhaps unwilling, or deliberately ignored it, as if it was not until this moment that she suddenly remembered that the father of Frost Giant wanted her to kill him. In the roaring noise, this cabin in the glacier has become increasingly leaning, as if it were a cabin before sinking, even the four walls began to crack like a spider web, and the ground collapsed, as if it were going to disappear completely between the eyes. Freya grabbed the edge of the table and stared dead at the empty chair.

“Lord Milos! ”

“Are you going to say goodbye, little girl? ”

“No, no,” Freya shook her head, struggling to keep her balance, and she got up straight and bowed deeply to the chair. She wanted to say thank you, but sometimes it was unnecessary to say it, in a thousand words, rather than in silence.

A crack across the ceiling appeared on top of the girl's head, and the ground beneath her feet began to settle freely, tearing apart, protruding and revealing the underlying ice.

“That's not necessary.” The voice smiled slightly, as if it was shaking its head: "That's not necessary. ”

“But before the children go on their own, they must always be at peace with their elders. ”

The knight girl stood up straight and rubbed her eyes, smiling and answering.

“Thanks.”

“See you in history, then. ”

The sound went silent and a circle of white halo spread over Freya, and this faint light bounced off all the ice falling on the girl as if she could stand high in this collapsed house. And right in Freya's field of view, the round table was sliding to one side, and across from it, that empty chair suddenly fell backwards and was swallowed by the broken ice, disappearing.

“Thank you…”

She answered quietly in her heart, and the next moment, the collapsed ice slanted down, burying everything that was there in the dark.

……

I don't know how long it's been in the dark.

Brando lay quietly on a glacier like a blind and deaf man, responding cold and wet beneath his body, telling him that there was a thick layer of ice on his left and right, and maybe some snow, but besides that, it was pitch-black and there was a slight breath about a few feet away, which, in addition to his own breath, seemed particularly stinging in the silence.

Not knowing how long he had been lying down and how many attempts he had made, he was surprised to find himself finally able to barely control his numb limbs, first pointing to his head, then to his wrist, and finally to his entire arm; he bit his teeth and sat up with his arms behind him barely, so he tore them for minutes before finally regaining consciousness. Then he tried to climb up from the ground, but just raised his head and hit his head on the ceiling.

It's a narrow space--

This is Brando's first thought.

What is this place?

This is his second thought, and the ability to think seems to be gradually returning to his frozen brain. He gradually remembered what had happened before his coma. Coward seemed to wake the god of awakening with his dark side of his soul. The key to all this was the purple crystal suspended on the platform, and then the whole spiral hall collapsed. This was something that had never happened in the game, and now this place...

This place should be beneath the abyss of the Spiral Hall, right?

By the way, where's Frost Fang? He remembered the giant bug, and he thought it would be eaten by the other party if it fell like that. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to escape another life.

Too bad the lights weren't on him and he ran out of magic when he got tangled up with Dejar. Otherwise, he could at least do a spell to see what was going on around him now, instead of even guessing here. Brando thought about it and decided to see what it was before he remembered another breath not far from where he was lying on the ground, so he buried himself immediately and strolled over there, but walked a few steps, his hand immediately touched a soft human body, and a little temperature.

“Fine, it doesn't seem dead.” Brando grabbed the other body for a while and suddenly found something wrong. He grabbed it with his hand and finally confirmed that it seemed like a woman. The discovery surprised him and was about to stop, but the other person seemed to wake up and make a slight ‘hmm’ sound. It's a strange girl's voice. Brando had a slight flash in his heart, let go of his hand, and asked vainly: "Miss Poetry? ”

But in the darkness, Brando only saw each other open his eyes.

Don't ask him why he knows they opened their eyes.

Because it's a pair of silver eyes gleaming in the dark.

At that moment, Brando's cold sweat fell on his forehead, "Silver folk, Golden folk? Shit, no way. Is it Aloz? Was it such a coincidence that the first one touched her?” Brando couldn't believe what that little dragon would make of him if he touched Aloz, or maybe some kind of hungry ghost or something. And second of all, what if she gets angry again? Or what if you cry? Aloz was impressed with that performance in the Hall of the Spirals.

But he shook his head right away, no, it's not Aloz. Aloz 'eyes are the kind of golden pupils with a light silver color, typical of the golden ethnicity. And this pair of eyes, which is said to be the eyes of the people of silver, is a little different, but because the eyes of the people of silver are not as pale, these eyes are a little like the eyes of Princess Griffin. But of course Princess Griffin isn't here, is she a little prince? Brando was sweating a little bit more. He had let the little prince wear a lady's costume, and now he's making this joke. I don't know what they'll think of him as a teacher.

But no. How could a little prince have breasts? Brando immediately found himself distorted, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have caught a girl before he fell, that he had begun to think it was a poem, but now it seemed that there were some mistakes in his assumptions.

With this in mind, Brando took a step back and looked at each other quietly, unable to confirm whether they were friends or whether it would be better to wait for the other to react first.

The clinker, who had just left, heard a voice that looked like an empty valley orchid and asked, "Why did you recognize me then? I mean, how did you recognize my human form? ”

The sentence seemed like a lightning bolt, and the impartiality hit Brando right over the head, causing him to freeze directly there.

“The slight... the dim Coward? ”

“Mmm.” The silver eyes blinked slightly, as if they had disappeared for a moment in the dark and reappeared: “That's my old name, which I haven't used in a long time. My name is Coward, you can call me Coward. ”

That's not true. Brando thought, no. Shouldn't the first running wolf, the eldest daughter of Ashes, who appeared in the twilight, as a dusk wolf tribe, have a pair of blood-red eyes, and the voice should be the cold, icy voice that he was familiar with before, and what's going on in front of him? Is it a prank of Aloz, no, definitely not, if it was that little dragon, would never make such obvious mistakes in the pupil color, it's not that difficult to change the pupil color with spells.

He frowned and couldn't help but ask: "You... are you really Coward? Eichs' eldest daughter, the first running wolf in the twilight, one of the most exalted monsters? ”

Silver eyes moved up and down, for nodding reasons.

Brando sucks in a breath of cold air.

Now he's finally reacting. It's not Coward, it's the good side of Coward. But this cognition has led him into confusion. What is this? Coward's dark side has become the god of awakening, and her body leaves only the good side, which means that this Dusk Wolf lady is not a dual character, but a true dual soul. He remembered what she used to call that Coward —— sister.

This script isn't right, Brando screamed, the dark side of Coward became the god of awakening, and the good side of Coward survived, which is different than in history. Brando remembers the history of the game, where the dark side of Coward and the good side came to an end, and after this copy of the Temple of the Hibernate, the identity of Essex's eldest daughter ceased to exist.

But now what's going on, history has changed somehow.

Is this the original setup in the game? If the Resurrection will resurrect the Awakening God, then enter this History Line, if the Awakening God cannot resurrect, enter that History Line in the game. Brando was suddenly a little sudden, no wonder no one in the game had ever seen the God of Awakening again, which was why history had long changed and the results had been written down.

But now there is a problem.

No, it's probably a big problem.

Brando realized that their pedestrian appeared to have inadvertently changed history, and that it was not just a change in the history of the Eruin, as Ambethel would have done. The difference between such an existence and the aristocratic council of an Eruin in the district, Elysis' eldest daughter, the dim Coward, does not need to be repeated, but understands the lesser weight. And if Brando remembers correctly, the next big chapter after the Empire's birth is the return of Essex.

This will be a process that can even affect the entire Great Devil's tide, and even change the course of Vaughn's future, shaking the foundations of that terrible war in the future.

More importantly, this change, unlike Ambethel, was triggered by accident, even completely beyond his expectations, and nobody knew if the change was good or bad. Brando can only be certain that in the game, Esis was killed by the players, because all twelve of her daughters were killed before Esis was resuscitated, almost as if he had killed Coward in this copy of the Temple of the Hibernate.

And now that Coward's alive, what about Essex? And what would Warnde look like if Essex didn't die?

Brando can only think of five words.

Dusk of the world.

He looked at Coward with such indignation that he kept thinking back in his head, forgetting even if he returned to the other party for a moment. After a while, Coward opened his mouth to break the silence and she said softly, "I think I scared you, right? ”

Brando's heart snapped slightly and shook his head quickly.

“So why have you been stuck? ”

'Cause I'm trying not to kill you. ”Brando replied seriously.

“Ah!” Coward frightened, but seemed a little confused: "Why did you kill me, Mr. Humanity? ”

Brando was silent for a moment, and he wasn't kidding, but he did have this idea in his heart: "Because you are the daughter of Essex, the first wolf in the twilight, and your mother will be resurrected again in the near future. And if you were alive at that time, it would be unfortunate news for humanity. If you live, a lot of people will die. ”

Coward blinked.

“You seem like a prophet, but you can't hide anything, Mr. Humanity," she stopped: “My mother once told me that in the darkness that no one could see, there was a river flowing quietly towards an unknown future. Anyone who can see that river can see the end of the future. Mr. Humans, can you tell me why you seem to see everything after the fog? ”

Brando clasped his lips: "For some special reason. ”

His mind was already killing, so he stopped hiding it, and lying all the time was a very tiring thing, and talking to Kowal at this moment made him feel very relaxed. He exhaled, the kind Coward was very popular among the players, and he had no aversion to this seemingly simple little girl, but her very existence was a threat to Warnde, and she obviously understood it herself, so it didn't seem surprising.

And the more so, the more nervous Brando was, because it proved that his guess might be right.

“You're telling me these secrets, aren't you, Mr. Humanity,” replied the girl in a haunted manner, "and you're telling me this because you know I can keep your secrets, right? ”

Brando nodded, kindly Kowalski was smart and had guessed what he thought.

“But what if there's a third person here who hears our conversation?” Coward asked again.

Brando was frightened, knowing that he would never be intimidated by empty words, and since Coward had said that, he must have meant something. He hurried back, when Coward had recited a spell, and suddenly, the dark underground light appeared, and Brando squinted his eyes under the sudden light, and then he finally saw the wolf sitting on the other end of the iceberg not far from here.

“Alex! ”

Brando had this weird feeling in his heart that Coward, Anrek, with him, in this tiny space, so many people, it really wasn't the wrongdoers who didn't come together. But he immediately felt a little strange that the place was so big that, at such a close distance, he could not perceive the breath of a third person, even if he had not noticed it before, there was no reason not to notice it when he woke up.

With that in mind, he turned around and saw some naughty little cunning in Coward's eyes: "I used some tricks, Mr. Humanity, you don't blame me? ”

Played by a true demigod, Brando was almost not laughed at. He pointed at the wretched Alec and simply asked: “Do you expect him to save your life? If the others are okay, but this guy, he seems to be my enemy, doesn't he? ”

What about today's tickets?
