The Amber Sword

When the dragon of darkness reached the generation of Odin, the Minor civilization and rule reached their peak, but under prosperity concealed a note of discord: at that time, the protagonists on the earth were not the people of the black iron that now reigned in Warnd, they were barbarians in the mountain forests, and the main members of the black iron people - humans and dwarves of the mountains - were the subordinates of the Minor. Minor's attitude towards the people of Black Iron was cold, especially when the Dragon of Darkness arrived in Odin's generation, the empire was rampant and more demanding for its subordinate peoples. Odin had once conquered mankind on the Great Plains to build a flock of glaciers and migrated dwarves into the Misty Mountains. Just two major migrations had cost the dwarves and humanity nearly half of the population.

This is true of the Minors vis-à-vis their own subordinate nation, not to mention the other Black Iron people, who are often bloody repressed. And for other races besides the Black Iron people, they didn't see it. By then, the Silver and Fog Pokémon had their own kingdoms. Although most of them were extinct, they were still inevitable to deal with the outside world, but the Minors were high and ignored the Silver people. They only took a look at the Bukas who built cities on the flash coast at the time - the wizards were said to be the guardians of the Tower of Heaven, the descendants of the Auchidu scholars.

As for the dragons, that era was in the famous Otto mess, and he had no time to think about it, let alone deal with the outside world.

The Minors were more proud of each day than they were of each other, and their reign was harsher every day. One day, the clash of contradictions erupted like volcanoes. As has been documented in history, the opportunity comes from Odin's order that the Fog Pokémon, in collaboration with the Minors, go to the Great Glacier to fight against the Barbarians, a command that deeply damages the sensitive and arrogant self-esteem of the Fog Pokémon, and so they rightly reject this unwarranted demand without mercy.

Odinburst into fury and immediately ordered Sebastian to lead his army into the Laurel Forest, where the Fog Elf Kingdom is located, the spark of the Saints' War, which began the Moon War between the Minors and the Fog Elves.

“He had to be angry," the wind said, sighing at himself: "Odin is a smart man, he sees contradictions within the empire, he wants to deter others by subjugating us, but what he didn't expect is that we dare refuse. ”

Odin was too impatient to act, and Brando frowned, thinking that in accepting the inheritance of the Dragon of Darkness, he had seen the Emperor of the Minor once in his dreams. The impression he had given him was not the kind of person who had just taken his own life, but he made a huge mistake in mocking the minds of the Pokémon clan - the Silver People also had their own pride, and the Pokémon were not the subordinates of the Minor, how could he bow to the Minor?

When St. Osor saw his face, he knew what he was thinking, and she shook her head: “The will of the Dark Dragon is not so easy to reject, you can't imagine how powerful the Minors were in those days, Brando, you know the Silver Pokémon fought bravely, but they may not be able to win, let alone ours, even in the face of one side of the Minors. ”

“Then you…” Brando asked puzzled.

“We were prompted beforehand.” The wind answered word for word.

“What!? ”

“We got promises from the Bukas,” the wind slowed down and said slowly: "In fact, the discontent with the Minors on the mainland has been around for a long time. There is no need to say more within the Empire. Outside the Empire, the Silver Pokémon are good, the Fog Pokémon are good. In fact, no one is willing to be on the brink. The Buga promises were an opportunity for us, and very soon the Silver Elves joined the secret covenant, coincidentally, as if they had their own destiny in the underworld, at a time when the human resistance, repressed by the Minors, had also crossed the wilderness under the leadership of Gilt, the King of Fire, and returned to Warnd--"

“We have signed today's White Stone Wilderness the covenant that has been circulating to this day, the oath of what you call the sacred covenant. After that, the battle of the saints began, and what happened after that, you know. ”

When Brando heard about it, he didn't ask, because he knew that it was a familiar history, and what this Elf Mistress was going to tell him today must be another, unknown secret. Indeed, after a moment of silence, the wind opened its mouth: "But in fact, there are a few doubts throughout the Saints' battle, the biggest question being - and we have since privately confirmed to the Bukas - that the reason for their participation was because they were promised dragons, and that they had not issued any invitations to us until then. ”

“… as for the dragon, the situation is similar. ”

Brando's eyebrows picked up, and he smelled the conspiracy in this passage.

“Gilt, the king of flames, was guided mysteriously through the dark wilderness. Early on, I, Gilt and Fernzan risked together on the continent, and although we lost touch after he became leader of the Resistance Army, I am sure he would not lie about it - not to mention that Fernzan and Ellanta had similar experiences. ”

“In other words, is there actually a force behind the Battle of the Saints that is being driven, and that does not belong to any human, elf, sorcerer, or dragon?” Brando finally couldn't help but stop and ask.

After the wind also stopped, the former sage looked out of the corridor at the vast and azure surface of the lofty inner sea, with an unknown glimmer of light purple eyes: “Yes, in fact, I met that man later, her name was Sophia, a witch. ”

“Woman... witch?” Although various answers had appeared in Brando's mind before this, how could it not have been thought of as a special group of witches who were faithful clusters of the dragons of darkness and who, even today, even in flagrant opposition to the world of order, had not renounced their faith, let alone the king of witches, who was once the host of the Minor Empire, a group that could betray the Minors?

The wind nodded: “This witch is the witch of the Pharaoh, and they and the witch of the 13th Dark Moon are the two most unique witches in the world of witches. Sofia is not her name, and their Orthodox heir of every generation is called Sofia, just like the Dragon of Darkness. After the Battle of the Saints, she herself found me and told me all about it. ”

“Why?” Brando asked, quite incomprehensibly.

“Because of the prophecy of darkness. ”

“Black prophecy? ”

But the wind skipped the question and asked herself, "Brando, do you think someone as smart as Odin would get his hands on it? Is it because he trusts the witches too much? No, it wasn't, and then I thought about it, and I'm afraid he knew all about it. At the time of our uprising, even though mankind, the dwarves, the elves and the Bukas, as well as a handful of other nations such as the dwarves and the skinheads, were united, we feared that there would be no bottom line in our hearts to truly defeat the Empire. The power of the Minors is unimaginable today --"

This is the second time she has said this, but in the aftermath of the wind St. Osor sees it as a matter of course, because the Minor Empire ruled by the Dragon of Darkness is so frightening. “But after all, they were defeated.” Brando consoled. “No," the wind shook his head resolutely, "it's not as simple as you think, Brando. The Minors have been involved in suppressing our uprising with only Cybers and Tumen's legions. Cybers belongs to the forbidden army of the Dragon of Darkness, and Teacher Tumen's is just some militia. There are seven Legions of the Minir, which have never appeared throughout the Battle of the Saints. ”

“What!?” This time Brando was really surprised that if the seven armies of the Minors had not appeared before the Battle of Saints, it could be interpreted as not attracting attention, but until after the Four Wise Men and Seibers' showdown, one could see that the Minors' dynasty had come to an end and even the Dark Dragon Odin himself had to join the battle, in which case the possibility that the Minors were still hiding was too small, unless it was said that the seven armies of the Minors were nothing more than a complete con. But is that possible?

"In fact, until we invaded the Arkash region, we thought that the Dragon of Darkness had set up a trap that convinced us that we had won, and the only question that was in most people's minds, more or less, that our power might not necessarily make Odin so aggressive," he continued. It was not until Odin himself fought and defeated the final war that we could believe it was true, and in fact, until the last war, Odin did not use his strongest strength. ”

Speaking of which, she paused: “You're also a travel magician, Brando. Do you know what power a real travel magician holds? It's extraordinary power. It's the power of a world. This power is self-contained in the world of the Brigadier Master, and what we have, whether magical or physical, is fundamentally a two-tiered force, and unless we can use the power of the entire world against the power of the Brigadier Master's self-contained world, we will not be victorious. Simply put, the Master himself is actually a god, he is like a god who came here from a distant world, he holds all the rules of that world, the creatures and forces of the whole world are unconditionally obeyed by His command, to confront Him, unless first he becomes the god of our world. But as we all know, the gods of our world are long gone from the strife of the world. So, theoretically, we can't beat Odin...”

“But the brigade master also wanted to seize resources, and he could not squander his power unlimited. Odin merely transformed a way to seize power from this world to support his power in that world. All you have to do is find a way to defeat him from this source, and there is no hope of victory. In fact, isn't that what you did, Lord Windy? ”

“You, like us in that era, think too simply of the problem, but the question is, there is not only one Dark Dragon, he can take power from us, he can take power from others, an emperor of the Hall of Fame, there are so many who support him, will he really come to fight us alone?” St. Osor seemed prepared to ask this question calmly.

Brando was stuck, and he remembered that the adult didn't say that after the last wind. Besides, he didn't describe it that way in history: “But is it because he came alone to challenge you? Is it because he's too confident? ”

“Odin is no longer a hairy boy, he is the supreme of a vast empire, he could not have done reckless things for such a fiction… In fact, I and Finn Zan saw a number of things in the battle, and then asked us to keep a secret for Odin before he died, confirming my speculation. ”

“He asked you… what are the secrets of the four wise men who keep secrets for him?” When Brando asked this question, he noticed something was wrong and hurried to remedy it: “I'm sorry, I mean... if it's inconvenient, forget it.” He suddenly thought that since the wind said this, it must have been that the four wise men had agreed to Odin's request at the time, and that some of the things Tulaman had said to him earlier proved this from the side. Since that was the case, he could not let the wind speak after the wind and not trust people, not to mention heroes like the four wise men, who are unlikely to go the other way.

But after the wind, I shook my head without thinking, “Actually, it's nothing. I came out today just to tell you the truth. I thought about it. Since you're the one Odin chose, there's something you should know. ”

Brando shut his mouth, but he frowned, and suddenly he heard a farewell from this elf sister's tone. He felt that the wise man who had been with him for such a long time, like his elders, was afraid to leave. St. Osor sank for a moment before slowly answering: “He made it simple for us to keep the secret that the outcome of the Saints' battle had become a fait accompli, in fact he had anticipated it all, and he told us something that the Dragon of Dusk had never really died, and that the first generation of the Dragon of Darkness - the Horseman of Heaven and Blue - had seriously wounded it and returned it to the sea of chaos, but the clock of the end of the trial had never slowed down. ”

“There is a legend in the prophecy of darkness that says that a hero will be born from among mortals, with the key of destiny in his hand, opening another door to the future of this world, a new creation of order on the ashes after the twilight of all things and the gods. After the tragedy of Fort Barbell, civilization was once lost to the earth, and many - including our generation - believed that the hero among mortals was the knight of the sky and the blue. For He caused the stars to fall and opened the age of mortals. ”

“However, fate has made a cruel joke to us, a secret known only to a few who, since the establishment of the Minor Empire, have fought a fierce war in the Dusk Regiment outside the boundaries of the elements, giving Vaughn a brief respite. ”

The Elf Mistress smiled slightly and smiled a little tired: “We thought we were doing the right thing. The Battle of the Saints was just a war against oppression, but from the beginning, we guessed the beginning, but did not guess the outcome. It was our own man who gave the dragon of darkness a deadly blow behind his back. At the last moment of the dynasty's collapse, Odin ordered the seven legions to stay permanently outside the boundaries of the elements, and he joined forces with several other brigade magicians to seal Warnde's passage to the sea of confusion, which was his last gift to us, he was a fool, but this gift was precious enough to exhaust his power and that of all those around him, so it became a reason for his inevitable failure. ”

The wind sighed softly: "In fact, that's why the witch betrayed him. Odin didn't believe in destiny, and all he wanted to do was prove that what was said in the black prophecy was not necessarily right, that the world did not have to be destroyed before it could be reborn, and that there would never be a savior. But the witches believed in the power of prophecy, and the end day would come, and Odin had proved that he was not the one in the prophecy, so the Minors must give way to a stage for the Black Iron People, who await the final prophecy on the Black Prophecy. The Witch of the Moon of Law is the executor of this prophecy. ”

For how long Bran was speechless, he actually guessed part of the truth long ago, but today it has only been proven: this is the inheritance of the fool, an insane struggle of a man of his own strength, ridiculous but worth remembering forever.

Because people never bow to fate...

Everything was so clear, he couldn't help touching his chest, and in a sense, he was the one who couldn't help himself. Whether in the eyes of the nobility of Eruin, in the eyes of His Highness the Princess, or in the eyes of someone else, perhaps even those who support him behind his back, the Buga, may not understand his ideals, and he knows that many will stand beside him only because they are convinced that he can change something, without necessarily agreeing with those real thoughts deep within him.

What exactly does he want the world to look like? Brando did not answer, except that his gaze had already crossed the lofty inner sea, and he knew that there were countless untapped lands beyond the boundaries of civilization, that civilization was unnecessarily trapped in one place, and that the power of dusk was not invincible.

These ideas are somewhat out of line, or even too far away, with this deeply trapped world, as if the Krutz could never work with the Finns, nor could the Pokémon integrate unreservedly into the human world, let alone the dead, with countless troubles and contradictions. But will I be as foolish as Odin? Brando felt that he had not been able to answer the question he had asked for a moment, and that he might or might not, just as he did not agree with all of Odin's ideas.

“Perhaps the problem is not here.” He said slowly.

“The glorious story of the four wise men, the covenant of the hundreds of the continent, is not necessarily a mistake. Odin, he may be doing what he thinks is right, but there are so many ways to do one thing, and he believes that fate can change, but he sees himself as the Savior--”

Brando looked at the magnificent landscape beneath the fleet, and the thick clouds scattered like cotton flocks blown by the wind, revealing the glittering surface of the sea, but more was in his mind.

……

(The hard-working little black and black book is out again, to recommend it to everyone, it feels like a lot more progress than the last book.
