The Amber Sword

The wind blows across the wilderness, it's the sea breeze Casa from Silver Bay, or the mountainous white mountain summer breeze. The airflow flows over the sky, pushing the cotton-like clouds towards the north slowly, and closest to the skyline, the clouds are like a goddess, reaching from the clouds down to the distant and undulating hills.

As the wind blows over the hills, the meadows undulate in turn, forming deep, shallow patches. Located in the south of the Winton region, the forest is like an inky green shadow with thick leaves and Elsenheimson and many other tree species. The gray and white tree trunks are hidden under shadows like toothpicks.

Forests form a clear border with alfalfa tributaries beneath low-lying river cliffs, and to the east lies the kingdom of the elves, overlooking the Allied Rivers of the Temple of Fire.

“Mr. Darius, have you ever seen such a magnificent view in your hometown? ”

“The wilderness of the Four Realms is the only place in Warnde to speak of magnificence, and even the White Plains cannot compare to it, Your Highness.” The horse-dressed generals looked out onto the horizon and tried to find traces of the elves' actions, but nothing was gained - the Arkash Mountains drowned like shadows from the sky, clouds on the summit of the tsunami lingering all year round, and several eagles soaring in the sky.

He turned back to the princess of the Empire, whose face was like a knife-cut axe, full of fortitude, somewhat similar to that of Brando, but with thinner lips and deeper brows, full of highlanders.

A pair of brown eyes gleaming with godliness, as if nothing else could sustain its master's powerful will.

“But Eluín has the beauty that belongs to him, just like the Empire, the mountains of Charlope, the pine needles of Elsen, the ruins of the tall towers that rise on the highlands. ”

“I understand that Eru is the only place of civilization, order and glory that the Sages opened up after the glorious return of the year. There is no more glorious land than it is. The people on its land are hard-working and brave and the nobles who lead these people are excellent and glorious. ”

The princess looked at the knight beside herself without turning a blind eye.

“You're falling for it. ”

The princess smiled and turned her eyes away. She looked in the direction of the horizon, her eyes tenderly resembling water, "That is the kingdom of the elves. ”

“The wind elves turned their eyes to the north after the whole summer, and they didn't seem to intend to fight us to the death in the Four Realms, perhaps they would enter the mountains. ”

“Before the Battle of the Saints, and for quite some time after the end of the war, my ancestors Gilt, St. Osor, Fanzan and the four saints of Ellanta established their kingdoms close to each other, but now we look at each other as enemies. ”

“Is that why Her Royal Highness runs for peace in the Empire? ”

“Yeah, but the jihad was too harsh to wash away the blood. But I know in my heart that killing each other to compete for a living space is nothing more than killing each other. In my position, I cannot accuse my fatherland and my allies, and so can the elves. The pioneers used to expand the land, but since the end of the chaotic years, the pioneering knights have become almost extinct, not because people have stuck to their own assertions, but because the power of order is in decline. Fewer and fewer sparks are produced each year to replace those dying of old age, and the House of Lords has even legislated to limit the number of newly opened territories each year in order to avoid the failure of those mature places of order to be replenished. ”

The princess said softly: "But we would rather not tell the people about it than be afraid to cause panic. What are we supposed to say? Tell them Lord Martha is abandoning us? But I firmly believe in the power of my mother, but the status quo is still disturbing, and people are panicking inside the temple. Last month, my teacher Walla and the Grand Holy See discovered that there were people in the upper echelons of the temple who had joined together to reunite. Although only an archbishop, the significance behind it was disturbing, indicating that our faith was receding and that people were becoming increasingly confused. If the momentum could not be contained, the consequences would be unthinkable. ”

The general listened quietly.

“I have a plan, and I hope that St. Osor and Fernzan will be sent after this jihad, on the one hand, to quell hatred and, on the other, I believe that the confusion must go beyond the temple of fire, and that all civilizations should be in the same trouble, and that a thousand years ago we could enter into a sacred covenant to fight together for a goal, and a thousand years later we could do the same. ”

“If I cannot persuade the temples of St. Osor and Fanzan, then I will go to the circle of the world and find a way to seek the consent of the wise man, Lord Ellanta, who will stay and guard the world, and she will not sit idly by. ”

“As the princess of the Empire? ”

The princess nodded: "Will Mr. Darius be my companion? ”

“It's an honor. ”

The princess smiled: “This is my dream, Mr. Darius, and I have never told anyone. I hope that the four temples will be able to return to the era of glory, and that in the more distant future we will be able to expand our vast territory and thus eliminate the civil war among civilizations. I want to prove that what the four saints did was right and that once we succeed, people will not be lost. ”

The General nodded softly, thoughtfully: "If that were the case, I would be honored to be your knight, Your Highness. ”

“But it's hard, and maybe we won't see it for the rest of our lives. ”

“It is difficult, but there will always be a successor, and no noble ideal will ever lack a successor to his former servant for this purpose. ”

The princess nodded.

Constance looked at the face as if it were in the mirror. She stood face to face with her. The soft face was filled with goodness and perseverance. The light silver eyes flashed with vision and hope for the future, but it was not just naive, but stronger and unyielding.

That face made her feel familiar and strange.

She had a pale face, tight muscles on her face, stiff as a stone, "Enough.” She growled low, her hands clutching her hair tightly, her bones protruding, her ghost claws like.

The picture became fragmented and blended into the darkness of the study. The thick edge of the curtains reflected the lights of the distant city. The tall bookcase stood still in the shadows. The desk was lit with parchment paper literature. The signatures on it seemed to be written in blood and appeared remarkable in the microlight.

Outside the study door, the dragon queen Gwendolyn silently retracted her gaze and shook her head.

“This is destiny, ridiculous and real, but it's not worth pity, because everyone has to face it, and nobody is nobler than anyone. On the day the Tower of Babel was destroyed, they felt equally deeply this bitter pain. ”

She turned around and walked out of the corridor.

In the living room, a knight has been waiting for more than a few moments, looking a little restless.

Gwendolyn looked at each other's performance and said openly: "Your Majesty does not want to meet us for the time being, he has entrusted me with the authority to deal with the emergency situation on her behalf. Say, what is it? ”

“My lord, please do not contact the Marquis Baroque, who, before leaving yesterday at noon, sent His Majesty's orders strictly ordering the city guards of Ginkgo Castle to leave the garrison. But before the evening, sources reported that cults had fomented riots in the city, and now thousands of people had gathered in the Golden Calabash business district and Silver Horse Square, with unimaginable consequences if not stopped in time. ”

“Is this news before you left the premises or is it the latest? ”

“Before leaving the compound, my lord. ”

“How long has it been? ”

“Half an hour. ”

“Where's the Ranger? ”

“I don't know, my lord, I didn't see them on my way here. ”

“That's good. ”

The knight looked up slightly and saw a strange smile on the face of the Countess in front of her - Gwendolyn's bright face.

Before he could react, consciousness was overshadowed by endless darkness.

Gwendolyn looked coldly at the corpse crawling on the ground, the young man fell on the carpet without meditation, his head and headless body side by side, the blood in the dark revealed a dark color, the shadow image of the corpse was alive and peristaltic, turning it into nothingness for a moment.

She looked at the carpet that broke a big hole, unfortunately, as if she had spoken to herself: “The Marquis Baroque will not come to give you an order, but you will not hear it anyway. ”

Her body melted a little bit in the dark.

……

Brando's view was rapidly shifting, and the forest was pulled behind him at speeds beyond light, a strain of oak trees, goose palms, and Oasis nan hidden beneath the rocks. Because of the speed, the trunks and branches were almost in a straight line until they could not distinguish each other, as if they were pigments that flowed into the palette.

Then a light spot appeared in front of him, the light spot instantly came to him, the scenery inside stretched out and became a quiet night view along the eastern bank of the Golden Calendula River, the river water under the moonlight sparkling light, an ancient bridge spanning the waterway between the cold dew forest and the commercial district, the scaly roof of the city a faint silver light in the distance.

Brando stunned for a moment before realizing he had reached the bottom of the Cold Lu Estate mountain.

“My lord! ”

Brando turned around and saw Metissa and Hippamilla with her, instead of opening his mouth, he waved instantly, opening several halfway doors in the air, Charles and Medfis fell out of it in turn, and finally Andrig fell heavily on the vampire pseudo-woman.

“Woo--”

Andrig stood up from his brother with his hand and pressed the latter's head into the dirt.

She didn't even look at the latter, photographed the dust on her dress, and then quietly stepped away from the river. Although descendants were not as afraid of water as the legendary story suggests, they didn't like it very much.

Brando watched as he climbed up from the ground and rubbed the sludge on his face against Medfis and shook his head helplessly, saying that while cards turned Medfis and Andrig into twins, the latter did not always seem to admit.

Chipamila also looked angrily at Andrig and walked over to help Medfis wipe his face clean, and the kindness and goodness of the clergyman was famous in the Cold Cedar Collar - although she always liked to raise some strange animals that were difficult to get close to.

“My lord,” said Metisa relieved, with some concern: "Previous battles…? ”

“A little accident. Where's Sidney?” As Brando surveyed the surroundings nearby, he asked that the river bank and forest quickly created an impression in his mind that this should be the edge of the Golden Calendula business district, close to the twelfth finger alley, and that the headquarters of the patrol cavalry was situated at the border with the Queen's Quarter.

“Did Ms. Sidney and Her Excellency the Legion Leader leave us step by step before they arrived? ”

“It seems they have been intercepted, and in addition to Cairoyer, Saipan and their extremes, the Cruz do have room to do so," Brando thought. "Indeed, the Silver Queen is not defenceless. ”

He replied, "Don't wait for them, Ms. Sidney and Ms. Veronica have their own way out. I don't know when the Silver Queen will catch up, but the ability of the Brigadier Mage should entice them for a moment, but Royer and Saban, the top wizards in Cruz, must have their own means to see where I'm going. ”

He looked to the West Bank of the Calendula River.

“We continue along the canal waterway between the Golden Calabash Business District and the Queen's District, before heading directly to the west of Rusta on King's Street. Though it was the headquarters of the patrol cavalry, the cults were instigating riots in the city, and it was no surprise that the attention of the city guards and patrol cavalry should have been drawn to them, at a time when it was safer to choose this route. ”

“Lord. ”

Brando turned around and said, "What's the matter, Metissa? Do you have anything to add? ”

Silver Elf Princess frowned and hesitated for a moment, appearing somewhat restless.

But she finally made up her mind and said, “We ran into Andersha earlier. ”

“Who?” Brando stunned: "Andersa, her? ”

“She did it to you? ”

Metissa shook her head: "No, but she looks a little strange. Have you heard of the secondary fouling, Lord? ”

“Secondary contamination, you mean she looks like a second infusion of God's blood?” Brando reacted immediately: “It's impossible unless she doesn't want to live. ”

Metissa looked at her lord with surprise. Though in the eyes of ordinary people the shepherds and all things are united members and sheep and chiefs alike are cults, few know that the former Druids, who called themselves the withers, have actually been secretly studying the power of divine blood for more than a decade.

Even many people simply do not understand what divine blood is and confuse it with the demonic sacrifice of the shepherds, but the fact is that Metisha knows that, while the shepherds are acting crazy, the divine blood in their hands is true divine blood, not the blood of the rumored demons or from the power of hell.

But not only did her lord have a clear understanding of divine blood, but she also spoke of the nature of secondary contamination. She was very curious in her heart. The other side was young and learned this secluded knowledge from there.

Brando had no idea what the little princess of his own was thinking. He just frowned deeply. It was not surprising that Andersa appeared here. She was in Tidu, perhaps the mob had attacked the Imperial Prison, but the secondary fouling seemed unusual.

“I hope there will be no connection between the two.” For some reason, he always felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.
