The Amber Sword

“I say!” replied Andersa, suddenly biting her teeth, before Bran made the last count. Brando looked at her quietly, as if to see the true thoughts in the face of a woman known for her cunning history, as if she were about to tell a lie.

“You know what happens when you cheat on me, and I don't want to repeat it a second time, if I doubt what you're saying, then I will order Eroma immediately. ”

“You can't be so unreasonable.” Andersa revealed her pointy white dog teeth, staring at Brando in anger.

“Of course I can be so unreasonable.” Brando interrupted her impatiently, his inner anxiety was beyond imagination at this moment, and he didn't want to waste another word: “Now it's up to me, your answer must satisfy me, and my criteria for satisfaction are up to me, and I don't care what you think, just tell you the consequences first. ”

Andrea shut up wisely and poked Brando in the face with his eyes. If it were two swords, Brando's eyes would be a hole between them.

“What was Gwendolyn's plan?” Brando asked.

“To bring the dragon of dusk down and kill it… everything we do is to save the world, but the world cannot understand, any war requires sacrifice…”

“I didn't ask you to say the second half.” Brando interrupted her without mercy.

“I…”

“You're talking nonsense again, I didn't ask you to explain, you don't seem to understand - I'm a very impatient person and I have a bad temper.” Brando looked up at the sky.

Eroma was connected to his heart and immediately lowered several golden columns of light in the dark night sky, flashing several blocks of explosions.

The flash of the explosion reflected deep in Andersha's pupil, and the woman was finally deeply frightened. The world thought that the herder was crazy, but Brando seemed like a complete lunatic.

And the latter is completely unreasonable, and he doesn't seem to care about life or death in the world.

She stared in fear at Brando's dark brown eyes and saw that there was a demon living there, with a thick, bloody smell in her nose and some loss of blood on her lips so slightly that her hair was slightly white.

“Why would Gwendolyn do that, the dragon queen, and you want to say that she has a habit of being a savior? ”

“This is not her idea alone, just because she is the head of the herder, a plan that the herder has been fighting for for for hundreds of years.” At the end of the day, this tall woman added very weakly: “Everything I said is true...”

Brando was ungrateful: "I didn't ask you if it was true, if it was false. I made my own decision. Are you stalling? ”

Andersa immediately shut her mouth and closed her eyes, feeling humiliated inside.

“What are the details of this plan and what does it have to do with Roman?” Brando jumped directly to his most important concerns after confirming that Andersa had completely succumbed.

“… the little girl's soul seals a will of the Dusk Dragon, the dragon queen hopes to guide the Dusk Dragon to come upon her and defeat the Dusk Dragon completely. ”

“Kill the Dragon of Dusk. What's she going to do? ”

“In the past, the dragon of dusk projected its will to Warnde, and we are convinced that once it materializes in this world, we will find an opportunity to truly kill it, thus ending once and for all the confrontation between civilization and dusk. ”

“On your own? ”

“While the Dragon of Dusk is powerful, the power it can withstand in the world's carriers is limitless, and even if it disregards the dead and alive of the carriers, it cannot grow to its limits at the moment of its coming. Moreover, our preparation for thousands of years has been so simple that the shepherds have been searching for power in the blood of God, not to rebuild the gods, but to create a medium. ”

“Some kind of medium? ”

“A lost vein of God that can be absorbed and purified by the divine people, so that the pureblood gods possess the power and authority of the ancestors. So if the Dusk Dragon wants to devour that little girl completely, it has to face the highest authority in the world, which is tantamount to rivalry with the orderly forces of the entire Vaughn and the laws of Tiamat. ”

Brando understood that it was the idea that the pastoralist had fought, and that the Dragon of Dusk had always fought the whole of Vaughn against the laws of Tiamat, but that was under its full strength; but according to Andersa, when it came to the world, there would be a period of weakness, at which point the Dragon Queen would find a way to purify the blood of Roman and force the Dragon of Dusk to fight the whole of Vaughn against the laws of Tiamat in a state of weakness.

“The blood of the lost God is the blood of Alvers, the dragon of rage? You spent thousands of years planting trees in Warnde to find them? ”

“To find Gaia's blood. ”

“Gaia's blood?” Brando squinted his eyes and remembered Eloma's words...

‘Fredrich is a monster born from the blood of Gaia's mother, immortal as long as he comes into contact with dirt rocks, and it is not that easy to die. But these people didn't summon it the right way, it was weak, much less my current opponent. ’

But he remembers that Friedrich was born of a distortion in the blood of Alvers, the dragon of rage, and that Gaia's blood was not the progeny of Felidos, the evil god most studied by the herders?

It's like seeing his thoughts in Brando's eyes, and Andersa replies, “The Tree of Demons, Fenridos, has long been completely extinct, and we are called the Herdsman, because we want to recreate this vein, and unfortunately we have all failed. The bloodline of the Golden Tree was too thin to even call it the Messenger of God. A year ago, I went to the Ring of the Wind, and one of the aims was to find the legendary Valhalla, and we always suspected that the Tree of Demons was originally a tree of the world. ”

Brando realizes that the herders have always known Valhalla, but it's not surprising to think that Valhalla was originally named after Babel.

Andersha looked at Brando with hatred: "Unfortunately, that opportunity was destroyed by you, and we had to try the option. Although Fredrich was created by the blood of Alvers, he also had part of Gaia's blood in him, which was born of two kinds of divine blood. ”

“So you already know that Friedrich exists, but why didn't you act until now? ”

“We've been searching for the legendary baby girl, the last pureblood goddess created by the gods, the one who sleeps in the will of the dragon at dusk, your fiancée. ”

“You're lying. You found the baby girl 60 years ago. ”

“I'm not lying. Don't turn around!” Andersha shouted in panic, grieving in her voice: "The shepherd actually knew a hundred and thirty years ago that the baby girl had finally gone there, but did not have a chance to enter the final temple until sixty years ago. But the dragon queen entered the final temple 60 years ago and saw the baby girl, but that was not the best time to bring her out. We must avoid the attention of the Bukas and the dragons, and the mediocrities will not allow us to carry out this crazy plan. ”

“You know it's a crazy plan. ”

“But it worked! ”

“Whether it worked or not, to continue with the previous question… you and Her Majesty the Queen, and my grandfather played together and fooled everyone, even if it took me 10 years, you waited 60 years, 10 years more than half a century, which is not a time to pass. ”

“Sixty years can only be a blink of an eye compared to our whole great plan, and it took us thousands of years to get to this point...”

“Since your whole plan is so long, can you abandon it for sixty years? ”

“Of course not. The Dragon Queen's arrangement is purposeful, avoiding the Bucca and the Dragon's gaze is just one of them, and the Empire layout, in preparation for today's perfect ceremony. Some of us are still searching around the world for the whereabouts of Fenridos the Tree, and Friedrich is just a must-have option that only applies to situations like today, and we have a lot of plans in place to make sure it doesn't fail. ”

“It won't take 60 years. ”

“… everything was premeditated, and the Dragon Queen and we were prepared for the day when we first met the Silver Queen. She deliberately seduced the queen to unseal the baby in order to borrow half her soul to seal it in the body of the baby, and then we needed to wait for her to grow up and fully integrate the two souls. Although the little girl was not the Silver Queen, her soul and personality were affected by Her Majesty's influence. ”

“So what? ”

“Because we need a purely virtuous soul to carry the dark side of that baby girl, when she merges with Fredrich's bloodline, unaffected by the evil god's killing and chaos * *, Her Majesty is the most suitable candidate, and the Dragon Queen chose her from the beginning. ”

Andersa's chest tumbled slightly. “Just as the Black Firemen completed their summoning ceremony, the Dragon Queen sacrificed her last soul, bringing the evil god Fredrich to her, the Silver Queen. Her Majesty's dark side is now perfectly integrated with Friedrich, and when it meets that baby girl, the two of them actually share a common soul...”

“So they'll fuse? ”

“The dragon queen will not actively integrate, but the dragon queen will prompt it to happen. The pure blood of the baby girl will give her absolute initiative in the process of integration, and the pure goodness of the silver queen will suppress her dark side. In the process, the little girl will escalate into a presence like that of the ancestors, which in turn will compete with the will of the dragon of dusk who competes for control of her body...”

“In the process of materialization, the power of the Dragon of Dusk rests on Roman's body, but if it does not get this body for a while, it is tantamount to isolating itself from the passage of power, Roman's body is like a cage, trapped inside it, is that your intention? ”

Andersha looked at him stunned: "Did you guess? ”

“I'm not a fool. Maybe you like to think of people as fools. The Silver Queen has faith in you. Is that how you repay her? ”

“We don't need trust, we just need to execute the plan perfectly, and someone always has to sacrifice for it. ”

“Shut up," Brando interrupted her coldly: "If the Silver Queen is voluntary, then this is sacrifice, but now I see only deception and exploitation, you make her lifelong ideals and devotions a ridiculous joke, you trample on the dignity and life of others, but you call yourselves saviors? ”

“But if we succeed...”

“You can't succeed.” Brando replied without mercy.

Andersha's eyes were filled with anger.

Brando looked at her with a little pity, but without pity.

The shepherd's head struggled as hard as if he had been greatly insulted, almost breaking Brando's hand, and the blade of flame drew several blood marks on her snow-white neck, but the latter seemed unaware.

Two bright columns of light fell in the pitch-black night sky, and Andersa whimpered like an injured beast. “Stop it!” She shouted, "I was wrong. Stop it! ”

“How does the dragon queen intend to kill the dragon of dusk?” Brando asked indifferently.

“The gods have left the last authority in the world, which is our last hope. As long as the Dragon of Dusk is trapped inside that little girl, Gwendolyn will activate that authority and kill the entities of the Dragon of Dusk in this world.” Andersa shouted out loud.

“What happens to Roman after that?” Brando looked at this woman and asked her one last question.

Andersha opened her mouth and didn't make a sound.

Seeing this scene, Brando realized he didn't need an answer. He threw Andersa forward, the latter banging into the ruins and making a terrible scream.

Brando slowly lifted the blade of flame, stepping through the broken wall, and Andersha shivered up from between the broken brick beams, with the cold tip of her sword against her forehead.

Brando looked at this woman coldly.

“Where are Dragon Queen and Roman? ”

“You killed me,” the shepherd closed his eyes, shivering and screaming. “You killed me, I would never tell you. ”

“I'm not gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill Friedrich.” Brando replied.

Andersa opened her eyes and there was a great deal of hate in her eyes: "You can't do that, you'll ruin our hopes, our only hope. ”

“You have ruined the hopes of countless people, look at the city, and the millions who died in this war. ”

“If we don't do that, they'll die, too! ”
