The Amber Sword

The stars and nights were silent and the woods were silent. The two dark shadows crossed the forest one after the other and descended into form on the grass under the moonlight. It was Gwendolyn, the dragon queen, who fell as if she were a lady, followed closely by Modesty, who seemed to want to ask questions, but she looked at Gwendolyn, who looked at her face and took it back to her mouth. This subtle change in expression fell into the eyes of the dragon queen, and she said, "Say what you want. Are you as afraid of me eating you as those mortals are? ”

Modesty blushed and was a little angry. Of course, she wasn't afraid of being eaten. She was afraid that the former was stronger than she was, but that was the fact that she was arrogant as she was ashamed of herself; Modesty was angry at Gwendolyn's straightness and had to answer: “I just wanted to ask, why did you let them go? ”

“Because I felt a human presence, I was afraid to draw her attention," Gwendolyn replied, "so I had to let go of those little mice. ”

“Who?”

“Ellanta. ”

Modesty was shocked and screamed, “How could it be her? Isn't that woman still in the World Tree Court? ”

“The elf was carrying the leaves of the world tree, and Ellanta was always watching the world through her flowers and grass, and I shook her with Tiamat's grip. ”

“Damn it, did she find us? ”

“I don't know, but don't get lucky. From now on, we have to get rid of the mess in Anzlova as soon as possible. You tell Marsus that he doesn't have to go back to Anzlova; all he has to do is help Natasha take down Fortress Cui Claw and put the lions in, and I doubt our secrets can be hidden for long, and he has to take the lead.” The dragon queen looked at the forest of the black hole, and her eyes seemed to reflect the same shady light, answering softly.

“Are we going to do this?” Modesty was slightly surprised.

Gwendolyn nodded slowly.

“But what about those little mice, don't forget that Misserille is with them, and if she goes back to Dragon Valley, we're in trouble. ”

“I know they intend to go to Rune and sail from there, you just have to burn the boat in that port one step ahead of time, and after Moshak's capture of Yassar, the lizards will naturally be able to pull out the siege of that port without the support of the sea, and they won't be able to hold it for long. ”

“Me?” Modesty answered with some awe, "But what if Ellenta comes along? ”

“She will not appear, as long as we do not personally participate in this war, and this is the dispute between the Jogentigans and the Cruz, she will neither and there is no reason to intervene. ”

“But didn't we already get her attention?” Modesty asked cautiously, frightened that it was a trap to let her face the wise man who had lived more than a thousand years.

“She has motive, but there is no reason. This is Cruz, not Ellanta, and the Cruz will not sit idly by, not even need us, and the Temple of Fire will naturally protest. We also have Her Majesty the Little Queen, who has her own way of dealing with this wise man, even if he is of the highest rank, and who must obey the rules of mortal man, cannot be reckless.” Gwendolyn replied quietly: "Of course, this is all premised on the assumption that before we finally do it, and after that, the barrier between this mortal and ‘God' will lose its meaning, so you have to hurry. ”

Modesty looked a little ugly and said reluctantly, "Shall I go to Malthus first, or to Rune first? ”

“You go to Marsus and let him lend you the Dragon Beast Army. ”

Modesty only realized what it was like to come to each other - they couldn't do it themselves, so the dragon beast was the best alternative.

“Huh, sneaky guy!” The dragon whispered herself in her heart.

……

“So say...”

In the open south of the Silver Valley, the hills began to soften, but along the northern edge of the Rokozy Heights, there were still undulating hills and vast forests. At this moment, Eruin's mission hid in such a forest. After nearly a day of flight, everyone was exhausted and had to pause for a short break and enjoy an inexpensive breathing opportunity and a dinner. But let's not think about the fire. At this moment, the northern plains are filled with areas occupied by lizards, and if we do not pay attention, we will attract a large army.

In the middle of a simple camp —— in fact, clearing out a few open spaces in the woods —— a large group of people surrounded a little girl, as if watching something rare. The latter looked at the human man in front of her with great fear and did not understand why the other person knew so much, she only said one thing. Only the latter said, "- You're Aquisa's daughter, right? Is your name Phoenix or Mullin? ”

“Mullin is my sister...” replied the elf in a fine voice.

“So you're Phoenix? ”

Pokémon drummed up the parchment.

Brando hummed softly, thinking that you guys did show up, you dead bear boy, and you wanted to fight me. In fact, he had returned to the mission a few hours earlier, and he had been trying to establish the identity of the elf, little Lori, but the latter would not tell the truth - this guy was a model for a bear child, and a little bit more pleasant to her, she started talking nonsense, as if lying didn't cost money, and just a little more vicious towards her, the latter immediately burst into tears, scared to say a word.

In the end, he had no choice but to test this little Lori under one name. Anyway, he had been to Finn Zan and was familiar with the Ten Cities area and Greyhews. The Wild Pokémon on the Emerald Coast east of Erlanta were extremely close to humans, and even many wild Pokémon had left the community to go to White City and Ten Arms Harbor as mercenaries. Therefore, it was no secret that some of the conditions in Erlanta were in Finn Zan. He was also more knowledgeable about the dignitaries of wild Pokémon.

Ultimately, when he spoke of Elder Wild Elf Aquisa's guardian, Fred Trika, the little Lori finally revealed herself, because he used the name Martina, and Little Lori quickly rebutted his words - ‘Mother Lord's guardian is not Martina. ’

In that sentence, she sold herself clean.

So there was the scene before.

Now Brando finally figured out who this little girl really is, Elder Wild Elf's daughter, Phoenix. When he analyzed this, he couldn't help but wait to realize that he was not the first to see this little Lori, a bear that was famous in the history of Warnde in the future. About sixty years later, in the history of the wolf, she went to the Plains of St. White as the representative of Ellanta to become the publisher of the mission to kill Essex. Few players in the entire Amber Sword who had experienced the first century did not know her.

But he couldn't help but look at this little Lori, how can he not connect this bear child to that gentle and noble elf girl in history, that's too far away, little Lori, how exactly did you go about your life?

He patted the elf on the shoulder and asked, "How old are you this year? ”

“Sixty-two.” The elf hasn't changed from Lori to a teenage girl, so she can't talk about the lady, so age doesn't seem like much of a secret to her, and she's straight up with her tiny tits, and she answers aloud - as if it's not age, but how important and sacred it is - if not the end of the sentence: “It's already big. ”

Elves are 120 years old, 62 years old. This is the proper rhythm for a bear child, which is a little younger than Chiara. No wonder she's such a bear. Brando couldn't help but think that Elder Aquisa was too irresponsible to let this little guy out. And the point is, wild elves are naturally curious —— except, of course, for Flora —— so they often integrate into human society to satisfy their curiosity, but the average wild elf, even an adult elf, moves around White City at most, and this dead bear child runs to Cruz in a single breath, which is thousands of miles apart. How the hell is this going to run?

He couldn't help but wonder, “How did you get here? ”

Pokémon didn't answer, just glanced at the sky.

Brando immediately thought of one thing, the path of the wild fairy cloud, which is sort of like the flaming door of the temple of fire, but in a different way, the path of the cloud is a true artifact that can take people elsewhere through the paths that have been left on the clouds by the god servants since ancient times, and this artifact has several fixed transmission points above Warnde, including the rings of the wind of faith south of Tonigal, but if he's right, this artifact has no coordinates in Cruz.

He couldn't bear to look at the latter.

Pokémon was uncomfortably staring at him. He replied, "It's all because of Shanny. He said he saw a three-headed dragon at war. If he wanted to pull me to look at it, we were shot down. ”

“You're the one who's going to see it, I'm just warning you not to hit them!” The fake dragon lady lying on top of her head screamed angrily: "Pokémon, if you drop the blame again, I'll ignore you! ”

Pokémon muttered, unhappy to stop talking.

Brando knew at first glance who was really responsible.

Nevertheless, now is not the time to pursue this responsibility, the key is to know the identity of little Lori, he finally relieved, Aquisa is one of the three elders of the wild elves and the closest person to Ellanta, the natural affinity and crest of little Lori still seems reliable, so to speak, with her, at least the dragon queen Gwendolyn and Modesty will not make a rash move.

Of course, this is not his biggest concern. His biggest concern is the unreliable little Lori, who is unidentified, and causes them new trouble. Anzlova is now a mess. There are wind elves in the north, lions in Toquinin in the south, the Jogentigans and the Temple of the Earth in the south, plus three dragons. If you mix up the Temple of Nature again, then this place is totally a powder keg. Although it's a good option to leave a powder keg inside the Empire, the problem is that next to this keg is Eruin, not to mention he's still here, Brando hasn't given himself a good habit of bombing.

“So, Miss Phoenix, how are you going to get back now?” Brando remembered another problem, and the way the clouds were floating seemed to be transmitted in one direction, and the little guy had actually snuck out by himself.

He thought this little Lori was going to panic for a while, but the latter replied with great dissatisfaction: “Pokémon are not going back, Mom is broken, we have to send Pokémon to class, Pokémon is going to be the best nightingale in the world, so don't go to class. ”

This answer made Brando realize that the bear child couldn't communicate normally, but since he didn't even care about the elf himself, he naturally didn't have to worry about it. In fact, Brando wanted the little Lori to stay. Of course, he knew why Gwendolyn had left after the dragon. The little Lori stayed in the team, which was a personal amulet. As long as she was there, the three dragons wouldn't show up easily.

After confirming the identity of the elves, the surrounding crowd naturally dispersed. Most of these people were Brando's own people. After all, he didn't want to reveal Phoenix's true identity for the time being to cause any trouble, but Chiara and Roman guessed the identity of the elves more or less as early as the Big Hive. Regarding the former, Brando was not worried. Chiara was as young as she wanted, but was very mature. The latter was confused. Brando was really worried about what the young lady would say wrong. He repeatedly cautioned until the latter glanced at him with great dissatisfaction, so that he understood that the businessman's sister knew what the priorities were.

After the others were removed, there were only a few people left in the open space.

These include the bored Sifah representatives - Sister Chiara, and the businesswoman who is quietly exchanging her experiences with the Shani Pokémon - as to what experience is, of course, between bear children. And what's left is what appears to be a genuine Charles, Yuta, a woman mercenary leader of weary colour, who almost relies on the woman's command for the day's escape. Although Nimatis and Metisa have also done their part, she is, after all, the captain of the Guard of the Embassy Corps, so she has done the most, almost at this moment to shake and fall asleep as soon as she closes her eyes.

And in addition to those who had not fled with Brando before to meet the dragon queen Gwendolyn, or Brando's subordinates, there were also Princess Magdalene, Delphiry, and other members of the mission - for example, the meat mountain, son of Grand Duke Carrassou; the Duke, Thousand Kingdoms, and Judy, Eckhart, Sergeant Marjorie from Janilassou.

And finally, the dragon lady Misserille.

Of these, only Chiara and Roman implicitly guessed what Brando was going to say, while Charles appeared here as Brando's staff and heart - although in Tonigal this position was usually held by Antitina - and Utah, as the guard captain of the Corps at the moment, Brando could not have avoided him, and as for the remaining two, Misriel, as a dragon, Brando had no fear of surprise in the affairs of these mortals, and because of the internal affairs of the Dragons, he had to ask her to stay for this secret meeting as well.

And in fact Brando knows very well that even if he doesn't invite Misserille, as long as the latter wants, no one in this forest can hear whispering.

And the other Eruin members of the mission, Brando, who had complex feelings for these people, also as noblemen, who had the closest relationship to the Cruz nobility, did need their help to appease the Cruz nobles who were at war at the moment, but on the one hand, he feared that what he was about to say would frighten these guys and lead them to do something extraordinary.

In that connection, he had considered repeatedly deciding to retain them.

Firstly, he thought that the Duke Kim Ohny was not making any sense, that he should indeed try to believe them, and secondly, that the war of the Krutz had nothing to do with the Eruins, that perhaps what he was about to say had not affected them as much as he had imagined, and finally that at this moment they, the Eruins, had to stand together.

In addition to those mentioned above, Brando retained Princess Magdalene exclusively -

Brando kept the nun princess for special reasons.

Much of this consideration stems from the special nature of the princess's identity - because he does not know how reliable Chiara's analysis is or, if it is true, what attitude the Temple of Fire holds, and as the person closest to the Temple of Fire and most familiar with the Temple of Fire in the Mission, it is certainly not Princess Magdalene.

Quiet was restored in the forest only after everyone left, Brando's eyes swept across everyone's face, and the one who left behind understood more or less what the Count must have said to them, because the vast majority of those present could see what kind of magic machine was contained in the one who left behind, except for Princess Magdalene and the elves: there was no Cruz present.

It is clear from this that what follows is certainly closely related, if not particularly important, to this war among the Krutz.

But there was something strange about the members of the Eruin Mission here, because theoretically, the Count rarely discussed these ‘secrets' with them, and he had a group of trustworthy people of his own.

It was at this time that Brando slightly coughed.
