The Amber Sword

The Blade of Fire, Orphis, hung high above the lobby of the Temple of Fuchsia, the faithful in the lobby and Yorf even saw a phantom emerge behind the sword, which held the sword in its hand and wore a long dragon flame cape with its back to the crowd.

A strong emotion suddenly and irrepressibly swept into Yolford's mind, as if he had seen the magnificent times of the past, yet the protagonists and heroes were turning away from them and gradually moving away. With regard to the beliefs and pursuits of childhood, the worship of heroes and the unwavering faith in the Temple of Fire were recollected as if they were a voice flowing in the field of hearts, bitter and regrettable after decades of fermentation and treasure. Yorf's legs softened and he knelt down, as did the many junior monks behind him.

The two Master of the Sutra also knelt down, and in front of Wang Jilte, one of the four wise men of the Cruz people, they were sweating cold and could not say a word.

“We have made sacred covenants. How are our covenants? Thousands of years ago, we defeated the Dragon of Darkness and liberated Vaughn from tyranny. We are not saviors, but we are just pursuing freedom. Yet a thousand years later, the Minor Empire ceased to exist in this world, and are we qualified to say that we are a glorious people? ”

The fiction of Gilt, the King of Fire, is silent in the middle of the air, yet for the faithful followers of the Temple of Fire, the blame is in their hearts, except for those who have truly abandoned their faith.

Far away in the holy palace of Fernzan, the great shore and tall figure emitted a long sigh, her green eyes as if she could see through the infinite time, see under the lightning interwoven sky, what happened at the same time as the past, present and future, the rise and fall of the Minors, the tearing of the covenant between humans and elves, attacking each other, as if it were a millennial circle, only this time the liberator became the oppressor.

In the Spirit Court, after the wind, Saint Osor also felt her heart rise from a rock in the forest, and both the hunter's sisters and many knight spirits looked up at her, and she frowned slightly, looking in some direction to the west.

“Gilt, whether it was a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, you are still so just right. Everyone has changed, but you are always...”

Temple of Fuchsia, where everyone kneels down, Sidney looks down on the altar and looks at these people —— these people who atone for their hearts, they are not at fault, they just forget their vows. She turned back and said to Roman, "Well done, Miss Roman, you didn't let them get the message out before. Otherwise, there will be trouble. Now please open the front door. I need to announce this to everyone immediately. The Army of the Dead is approaching the port of Fatan. If we don't move fast enough, this port will face the scourge of extinction. ”

“The Army of the Dead?” On his knees not far from here, Yorf heard the word. He looked up in awe. He had two obvious tear marks on his face, but the cleric was too embarrassed to rush to ask Sidney: “Madam Sidney, what are you talking about? How can there be a dead army near Port Fatan? ”

“You should know the history of East Metz," Sidney glanced at him and said coldly: "This army of the dead began to gather before the eclipse, this moment should arrive to the east of the Golden Needle Valley, not too far from the port of Fatan. If you don't want to see the port of Fatan become a human hell, hurry and gather all the followers of the entire parish. ”

Yorf's face changed dramatically, and he said, “How did this happen? I see, Ms. Sidney, please leave this task to me. This lady was born in the parish. Leave this to me. I can do better! ”

“Count me in!” Alamov in the crowd stood up, and he looked at Roman first, and found out that the latter had no intention of blaming him, before saying out loud: "I am a priest of the third block, my name is Alamov, Alamov. Chandler, Ms. Sidney! ”

Sidney glanced at them, nodded, and the two immediately turned away to arrange the matter.

The statue of the Virgin of the Lion's Sacred Palace retracted her gaze and laid eyes on the two Sutra Masters on her knees, and Yalford et al. could say that they were unaware of the whole plan, but they certainly knew the consequences of everything that had happened today, including the collusion of the Silver Queen and the Dead. However, her gaze only lingered on these two shivering men and moved away in a chilling manner. To be honest, she had no interest in the internal struggle of these temples if the situation did not compel her.

“Sidney... ma'am?” This is when Roman finally had time to intervene, and she was already curious: “Is this the blade of flames, Orphis?” She stared blindly at the blade of flame in the middle of the sky, Odyphus asked.

“This is the blade of flames, Orphis. ”

“But I heard it was damaged. Did you fix it? ”

Fix it? Sidney shook her head, and Odyphus the Blade of Fire could fix it. The sword's soul recognized Brando and merged with the latter. Only the latter truly endorsed the idea of Gilt the King of Fire could this sword be repaired. For now, the sword is only temporarily activated.

She couldn't help but think about what happened a few hours ago.

“Ms. Sidney, now that we are allies, I am about to wage war with Her Majesty, and as an ally, I would be remiss, and there are some things I may need to entrust to you right away.” In the Imperial Army camp, Brando turned the handle of his sword and knocked the Cruz officer unconscious before turning back and saying this to her.

Sidney nodded: "Go ahead. ”

“As you should also know, the Silver Queen is collaborating with Madara, and there is an army of dead spirits marching towards the port of Fatan, and I need your help to destroy it. ”

“Do you want me to go to the port of Fatan to gather the middle- and lower-ranking priests of the Temple of Fire and form a group of priests to defend against the dead? ”

Brando nodded: “The sacred art of the Temple of Fire and the sacred art of Fernzan are the stars of the dead. Although there are many dead spirits, most of them are low-level ones this time. I think it is easy to deal with them as long as the middle and lower priests of the Patriarchate of Port Fatan are not united by each other. ”

Sidney thought for a moment: "Nevertheless, if the army of the dead is too large, it will only have a chance to win when the power of daylight golden flames is most abundant, but the dead cannot fight us in the middle of the day. ”

“That's not necessarily true.” Brando took out a gem shaped like an onion and shook it in front of her: “They will surely attack Port Fatan during the day, I assure you. ”

Sidney frowned and nodded silently.

“And the second thing, Ms. Sidney.” Brando said again.

“What is it?”

“This is about you. Did Her Majesty know that you took the shards of the Holy Sword Orphis?” Brando asked.

“That's exactly why she wanted to keep me,” Sidney replied softly, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with herself: "I know what you're trying to say. Are you asking if she would send someone to Port Fatan to intercept me? ”

“Exactly, because the temple of fire still holds the secret of the door of fire, doesn't it?” Brando nodded.

“I think she'll send someone. ”

“Who do you think it will be, the Temple of Fire, who can suppress you, no more than ten? Among them, the Great Sacred Throne of Walla is to be ruled out. Caesar is on your side, and it should be ruled out. If the Knights of Fire fail, then there should be only two or three choices left.” Brando immediately began his analysis.

Sidney looked at him with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to know so much about us, it seems Her Majesty has underestimated you. ”

“Ms. Sidney, you and I are not people who like to talk nonsense,” Brando interrupted her. “Who do you think will come? ”

“Rodrick. Rodrick. Barbarossa.” Sidney answered with certainty.

Brando was slightly stunned, his heart locked on the person was actually Roderick, and there was another Maddy the ‘Most Holy', but not so sure of Sidney, and he looked at the statue of the Virgin of the Lion's Sacred Palace with some curiosity. The latter seemed to see through his thoughts, explaining: "By Her Majesty's side, the most loyal person for her, Rodrick, is a matter of great importance, and she will certainly let Rodrick do it. Besides, Roderick is good at hymns, and the department's sacred spells are very restrained for me. ”

Brando nodded, Sidney inherited the blood of an angel, good at melee, and the hymns with more control were indeed highly restrained for her.

“What are you going to do with him?” He asked again.

“As long as the Lord now informs his men and orders them to keep the Temple of Fuchsia under close surveillance, they will not be given the opportunity to open the doors of flames.” Sidney replied, "If I'm not mistaken, St. Mayfist the Grey Sword should also be in Port Fatan. ”

Brando shook his head: "No, Ms. Sidney, he is no longer in Port Fatan, not to mention that this option is not good enough, and if you believe me, I suggest you send Rodrick to Port Fatan and kill him, and I can provide you with proof that he will collaborate with everything. ”

Brando remembers that in history Roderick was discovered to collaborate with all things after the Wolf Accident. Although he himself was not a member of the All Things Return, he used his cooperation with the All Things Return to clear the Temple of Fire. He was confident that this cooperation would never begin after the Wolf Accident, and that some traces of spider silk could be found in this era.

But Sidney interrupted him and said, "No need. You want to kill Roderick? ”

Brando looked at her with a slight glance, some surprise: "So you already knew? ”

Sidney had no choice but to answer the question, just to bluntly say: "I have no difficulty in dealing with Roderick, but it is unlikely that he will kill him. Besides, it is certainly unlikely that he will come alone. The flame door at the first level of the Temple of Fire will convey two people almost as powerful as Roderick, and he may bring with him two high ecclesiastical clerics. ”

“It's not that easy to kill him...”

“But it's not impossible, is it?” Brando heard what she was saying.

Sidney nodded his head: “I need your help. ”

“I?”

“I need you to share the soul of the Holy Sword with me. ”

“The soul of the sword?” Brando reacted: “Are you going to fix Orphis? ”

“Restoration is untouchable," Sidney shook his head: “But as long as there is a part of the soul of the Holy Sword, I can temporarily activate it. The Holy Sword Orpheus and Gilt, the King of Fire, are the source of the faith of the Temple of Fire, the supreme things, and with them, no sacred art of the Temple of Fire can defeat me. ”

Brando was silent for a moment and whispered, “I've never felt the presence of the soul of Odyphus. Can I do that? ”

“You can do it. ”

“Then I understand...”

……

Creaking, the main entrance to the Temple of Fuchsia was pushed from the outside, which brought Sidney back from her meditation, and then she heard the crisp voice of Roman: "Marjorie, are you here? ”

“Miss Roman, what are you doing here, what's going on?” It was Sergeant Marjorie who walked in from the front door, Sidney, who saw the young man for the first time, but she immediately saw Yorf and Alumov outside the front door, many believers gathering behind them, who seemed to be doing quite well and had been informed of what she had ordered.

“Marjorie, this is Ms. Sidney," Roman thought, probably wondering how to introduce the statue of the Holy Virgin of the Lion's Palace: “- she's amazing! ”

But Marjorie had long learned from Charles and Brando that this goddess from the upper echelons of the temple, in fact, knew much better than the businesswoman, who nodded at the latter and looked around to find that the situation in the temple was not out of control, before relieving herself: “Ms. Sidney, did you bring these believers together? ”

Despite a slight deviation from his imagination, Sidney did not deny it, but nodded: "Yes, I'm sure you understand the situation, I'm going to take these followers away immediately, no problem? ”

Marjorie shook her head: "No problem Lord has already told us, but do you need any help, ma'am? ”

“No,” replied Sidney, "all you have to do is do your own thing, guard the gates, and don't let any of the dead into the city. ”

“I understand. ”

Roman measured the two men with some boredom, and she turned her eyes to one side, surprisingly discovering that the gateway to the revitalization of the Temple of Fuchsia was being made difficult by His Royal Highness the Little Prince of Eluin.

“Hey, buddy, you got the answer to that question? You don't look so stupid, do you? Are you saying your brain melons are filled with moldy flour? ”

“No,” Haruze frowned and mumbled. “Mr. Daimon, it's because your problem is too tough. How do I know what you're thinking? ”

“Well, let's change the question. ”

“Then ask the question, Mr. Gateway...”

“Guess what my name is? ”

“ …… ”
