The Amber Sword

Something big happened? Brando heard the words of his wizard's servant. Is there something wrong with Kurul, or is something wrong with Sister and Metisa? Charles' voice continued in the subpoena crystal: "Lord, you'd better go out and see.” Go out and take a look? He raised some doubts in his heart, but finally let go of his mind. At least it didn't seem like a big problem. He grabbed Roman's small hand next to him with his opposite hand and drove the ‘space-time’ element. The line of law retreated as if he were submissive. He flashed twice and came outside the castle. Behind him, Black Wolf Coward glanced at Merietra on the ground, opened a light door and followed him out.

Coming outside the castle, Brando finally understood what Charles meant by "something big". It was only around 1: 00 or 2: 00 p.m., but outside the castle was already dark, looking up at the sky, the real city of Fatan seemed to be covered under a thick screen, the sky had no clouds, black paint paint was like a dark hole with no stars, no moon, no fingers around, darker than midnight before dawn.

Looking away, Far from the port of Fatan, the starlit lights have begun to rise, and the whole port seems to have boiled down, surrounded by the noise and screaming.

“This is...” Brando looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

“Everlasting darkness has come.” Coward's voice appeared behind him.

……

Constance, the silver queen, slowly opened her eyes and reflected them in her curtains as if they were melting silver balls unlike human eyes. Those eyes belonged to a middle-aged woman sitting opposite her in an ice-blue dress. The woman also looked like she had just woken up from a dream with long hair spread, but she seemed to have a nightmare, holding her eyebrows tight and a confused look on her face. By that woman, four people on the couch opened their eyes one after the other.

Among these four women are the Everlasting Dark Witch Agatheris, whom St. Mayfist of the Grey Sword had previously met, and a pair of twins, aged around sixteen, with a freckle on their face, and an old woman with a turban.

“How about that?” asked the Silver Queen.

“Unfortunately," the middle-aged woman in an ice-blue dress still frowned and shook her head: “I didn't do my best.” She turned around and was apparently empty of two positions on the sofa surrounded by a circle. “When Anvil died, Merietra could not return, the Talking Star lost its star, and the Sage Seal swayed, and Kurul voluntarily handed over her powers, so the Sword Seat also extinguished...”

“I got the power of the Winter Moon 'Odyssey',” said the little girl, who looked smaller among the twins, "Alijelli, she was old and unwilling to be part of the fight again, I killed her and helped her to finish her wish.” She glanced at the girl who was sitting beside herself and looked exactly like herself, smiling slightly: "Sister Vivian gave me the power, so now I have the power of two moons, my lord, am I good? ”

“Merietra's power came back to me.” The little girl called Vivian frowned and replied calmly.

“You're doing great, Roya, Vivian.” The frown of the middle-aged woman in the long, icy blue dress widened slightly, smiling praiseworthy, and she looked at the shady old man next to her: “Rhodeta, what about you? ”

“I did not find Essoli, and I heard that she had appointed a little girl 10 years earlier as the heir to the month of death; as for Yalo, who had died three years earlier, she had not had time to appoint a heir, and her inheritance was still asleep, which I had acquired.” The old man replied briefly: "It is the power of the month of decay. ”

A middle-aged woman in an ice-blue dress nodded: “Nor did I get the power of the month of the cup. Someone intervened in the line of fate. I suspected it had something to do with the crazy woman Yuvkilea, who is said to have taken the alias Asgard to look for something in the Aruche generation over the past 30 years. She is most likely looking for the next heir. I have heard that she is very dissatisfied with Anvy. The witches in their line are all madmen, but they are powerful, and Anvy is certainly not worthy of the month of the cup.”

“As for the legacy of the Moon of Swords… there has been a slight deviation.” Her face became difficult to see: "Your Majesty, the young man did not seem to be the heir of my king, but he had another fate, and it was definitely not easy. I felt a very mysterious breath on him. I couldn't see his future through that breath, and I couldn't cut the line of destiny on him. When Merietra confronted him, her line of destiny was clearly deflected, which was like... like...”

A middle-aged woman in an ice-blue dress remembers the crystal ball she broke in her hand, her face grew heavier and her tone became more and more uncertain: “Just as the whole world changed at that moment. ”

Silver Queen Constance stretched out her hand and patted her hands lightly - I'm afraid only Her Majesty would dare to do this in this world, and anyone else would have been bombed by the woman in front of her for the first time - but at this moment the latter felt nothing wrong, but rather some sincerity and fear. “Esmeralda, don't worry too much, at least half of our plan has succeeded, especially now that I know this little guy is not easy, we underestimate him, but I won't give him another chance. ”

“Your Majesty…" Esmeralda-Bonosson's generation of witch kings lowered his head deeply.

“I am not going to play with that little guy anymore. It seems to me that the nobles of Ludwig are not worried enough. The White Legion has arrived near the port of Fatan, and I decided to kill him first. Next, I will order the White Legion and the mountain folks to turn their spears and attack Fatan, so as to relieve those in the north who panic for an indestructible day. It is just right that my dear son can also fight all over the net beside him.” Constance replied confidently: "Esmeralda, the twelve powers of the witch, have reached my hands seven times, and when the little one is destroyed, the recovery of Bunorthon will be ready. There are things that cannot be done all at once. You are too anxious. In fact, the situation is similar to what I had anticipated beforehand, and even better. After all, it is the grandson of Darius. It cannot be that simple. ”

“What His Majesty said.” Esmeralda replied with some concern.

Constance stood up and looked at her, knowing that this setback had cast a shadow on the other party's heart. She had a little shame in her heart. The performance of the Witch King had disappointed her. In her view, what kind of trouble was this? People who really made a big deal wouldn't even care about the difficulties and momentary setbacks in front of them. Hey, these witches played tricks all day long and never saw a big scene.

All of a sudden, she was admiring that unmet little opponent, at least she had the temperament of a superior, so that someone like Mayfist would be willing to work with him.

She walked up to the window, and the curtains seemed magical, automatically splitting to the left and right, but outside the window was not a sunny view, but a darkness. As dark as the pitch over the port of Fatan, the capital of the Cruz Empire is at this moment in infinite darkness, and the entire sky is as if it were a giant black vortex, greedily sucking in all the light, as if the end had come, and the stars of the sun and moon were no longer rising.

I don't know when the emperor had raging north winds over the sky, and the north wind was filled with ice, snow and rain, falling from the sky.

“Everlasting darkness has come," the Silver Queen sees this scene, seemingly without any surprise: "Just as the prophecy describes, Esmeralda, I heard that on a day like this, the thirteenth moon will rise in the sky, the black moon 'Cassandra’, but no one has ever seen it, and mythologically, ‘the thirteenth moon cannot be seen by mortals’. But as witches, you must be able to see the moon, Esmeralda. I don't think I've ever heard you talk about the moon. Does the moon inherit the witch? ”

Esmeralda shuddered slightly, as if she had heard something horrible, but she answered honestly: “Yes, Your Majesty, the 13th Moon's legacy is called the Witch of Nothingness, but unlike us, her power does not come from Ashes and her twelve daughters, but from the sea troll Leviathan. Leviathan is the incarnation of the Sea of Magic. In the Battle of Dusk, one of its teeth pierced the Sea of Magic and the elemental barrier of the present world. After breaking, it formed the Mountain of Storm Rest, and when it turned over in the Sea of Magic, it formed a massive tide of magic. Our power, the twelve reflections of the Magic Sea in this world, is said to be the power of the thirteenth witch, the Magic Sea itself. ”

“So she must be strong? ”

“Strong...” Esmeraldayton said: "I have not seen them. The legendary heirs of the witches in this department are called Sofia. Their last generation was handed down at the end of the Saints' War, when the twelve witches were beside my king, but they were all defeated by the thirteenth witch. ”

Constance turned around and her fine eyebrows frowned: “Isn't she a witch too? Why is she standing in opposition to you? ”

“I do not know, Your Majesty, that this family of witches is mysterious, and there are few rumors about them, even in Buenos Angeles. ”

“She defeated you once, the Queen of Witches, if I recall correctly, in the days of the Battle of the Saints, were you witches still ruled by the Supreme Queen of Witches? Isn't she even the rival of the thirteenth witch? ”

It is slightly offensive to hear this question, Esmeralda: "The witch has never been ruled by any witch queen, Your Majesty, and we obey her orders because every previous generation of witches was the master of the winter kingdom and the queen of my king. By contrast, the second identity binds us more, and the masters of the winter kingdom are not irreplaceable. ”

“Really?” The Silver Queen looked back at her: “I heard the Witch Queen was the founder of the Land of Witches. ”

“It is true that the first generation of witches, and it is she who stole the power of the Moon of Magic from Essex, and since then every generation of witches has been the followers of Essex, and their inheritance is the Witch of the North Wind; in ancient mythology, the North Wind is the source of magic, because we witches believe that all the North Wind in the world comes from the Mount of the Storm of the Stopper, and the Mount of the Holy Wind is the source of the magic of the present world, so the title of the Witch of the North Wind is already very noble, but, like the inheritance of the thirteenth round of the Moon, both inheritances have long been lost in the Battle of the Saints.” Esmeralda explained in detail.

Constance listened to the story and was silent for half a minute. "Are you sure it's broken? ”

“At least on the face of it, but...” Esmeralda hesitated for a moment, as if she was remembering something in her silver ball-like eyes: “But a few decades ago, a witch had been searching for these two legacies, and her name in the witch was Knudel, a weirdo, and, by the way, she was the legacy witch of the Moon of Qin - but we had lost her whereabouts for at least 20 years. ”

“Heritage witches of the Moon of Qin, I hardly seem to hear you speak of the inheritance of this system. ”

The Silver Queen suddenly looked up and asked with great interest.

……

The deceased's country, south of Buenos Sons, is a lifeless forest--

One and two young witches watched silently in front of the cabin in the forest the stars above their heads crumble, burn and fall, and countless new stars lit up again on the ruins of the disintegrating old stars, as if within a few decades of the district, the view of the entire night sky had completely changed. The Talking Star fell to the west, the Sage was dimly lit, and eventually completely extinguished. Under the shadow of the breakdown of the Sword's Throne, it gave birth to an invisible dark star, and countless other stars, as if they had become meteors, dancing aimlessly in the night sky.

After a while, the old witch suddenly returned to God, and she patted herself gently on the shoulder of the little girl next to her and said, "Come on, Effilu, a new era has arrived, and this is the prophecy I told you about, and the prophecy of sainthood is about to come, and it is time for you to leave this forest. ”

“Where am I going, teacher?” The little girl known as Effilu asked softly.

“Go where you belong. ”

……

Port Fatan, in a private library of a nobleman. The black-haired knight shouted and closed the book in his hand. Through the cold light of the crystal lamp columns placed between the rows of bookshelves, he could see the words "Black Prophecy" on the written seal. This book is a forbidden book designated by the Temple. It is a sacred object of a vein of witches. It was originally placed in the lobby of the Winter State Column. Currently, this book is naturally a counterfeit. There is no powerful force that could have insight into the future, but the Black Prophecy contains a lot of history and secrets about witches, which is the best literature that people can use to study witches and even Minor people.

Nimatis put down the book, Sifah's little princess Chiara was arguing with the elves and the latter's pseudo-dragon next door, and during that time was filled with the difficult persuasion of Count Qianjin Enid of Grey Mountain, but it was not these noises that brought the knight back from her mind. She clearly felt the changes in the world around her as she read the book in her hand, the light dimmed, but not the changes in the magic column light. She looked up and saw behind the window on one side.

The outside world is turning dark.

It was not the gloom of the dark clouds before the thunderstorm, but the hands could not see five fingers, a pitch-dark, artificial flame in the distance of the city was like a star in the dark, shining on the earth.

Not knowing when, the noise of contention in the library also stopped, Nimaisi rarely heard the breath of the two little girls, but she didn't care, she rarely heard a buzzing sound rising from behind herself.
