The Amber Sword

The queen raised her head and looked deep in her eyes like a purple electric light, softly answering: “So you see that on the one hand the descendants of the Gods, the people of gold and silver, hand over power to mortals, and on the other hand the shepherd is rebuilding the blood of God, and the loneliness of my father, wandering in this plan, eventually falls into the hands of four wise men. ”

“ …… ”

Brando understood what it was like to come here, but he still couldn't understand the logic, and it was ridiculous to disperse a limited amount of power when his own strength was not enough to resist external insults.

The queen turned around and looked at Brando: "Do you find it difficult to understand, Count? ”

“In the eyes of the common man, yes, but are the true ancestors and the wise so ignorant? The problem is that if we choose the wrong path, the more we go along it, the closer we are to destruction, and we cannot judge whether we are right or wrong, so when one side chooses this path, the other is obliged to observe and evaluate the plan that will eventually take us to that step, and at the same time they must be prepared with both hands to suspend the entire plan at any time -”

“It does sound ridiculous, but it is based on our humble confusion and anxiety, just because we do not see hope. ”

“Think about it, everyone is preparing for a war that must be defeated, and we must wager so that we can carefully preserve the viability of the world, so I envy you mortals who know nothing, and it is because of ignorance that you can go on without fear. As if there would always be sunrise tomorrow, hope would always be there, but in fact it was not, and the sun would be gone long ago, perhaps tomorrow, and it would never rise again. ”

“How desperate it is for those who know all this, yet they are unable to disclose it to the public, as if it were a father and mother in a family, who must support the family alone and protect his children. My father, my mother, they have this responsibility, and I, from the moment I was born, have been surrounded by this nightmare, Mr. Count, can you understand the mood of a group of us? ”

Her Majesty stopped and then said again:

“Mr. Count, I'm sorry to let you know this, but I didn't want to disturb your dreams, but as I said, since you chose this path, you have to shoulder this responsibility...”

Brando exhaled a long breath.

He was silent for a while.

Until an aftershock swept through the sanctuary of solitude, in the tremors of the ground, a temple not far from here collapsed, and the sound of the collapse of the building, hundreds of meters apart, remained clear. As if many more descendants of Chris had arrived in the world, a sound of slaughter had been heard from afar, and it should have been the Black Knights of the Dead who had invaded the temple and encountered it.

A shadow monster came in from the corner of the wall, Brando reached out and squeezed the monster to pieces, strangling its throat by dozens of meters.

When Queen Madara saw this scene, her eyes lit up deeply. The young Count, who was only one last step away from Saint Hyung, opened Tiamat's authority to him on the battlefield of Finhotos on that day, seemed to have helped him greatly.

“There have never been beautiful dreams in the world, and you have weakened the minds of all people, Your Majesty," Brando answered with a palm of his hand, “I was born in a remote countryside in Eruin, far away from where you may not have heard the name before you intended to invade this kingdom, but before I became an adult, I lived in the shadow of your army, perhaps with no worries for teenagers, but I could feel in the eyes of those around me their fear and hatred of the dead spirit. ”

“Ever since the sceptre swept eastern Karasu, do you know how many young Eruins have succumbed to the ruthlessness and majesty of the mercury sceptre? Since the Black Rose War, do you know how many Butches have been displaced and how many have lost their loved ones in this war? ”

“For the fathers of those children, the husbands of their wives, dying in this final war is no different in nature from the despair and fear in their hearts when they die under the knife of your army. ”

“In those dark days, all must struggle to survive, and where is their hope? ”

Brando turns around and looks at Her Majesty: “It's like a monarch of the human world, who needs to be cautious all the time, or be robbed of his life by a glass of poisonous wine, and the farmers of human beings, who need to be constantly worried about their harvest next year, about war and man-made disasters, who can be alone in this world where we can only survive? ”

“I regret what happened to you, Your Majesty, although I admire Lord Odin very much, it does not mean that we are weak people - yes, I am just a lord of mortals, even if I am high in the eyes of the farmers in my territory, but in your eyes I may not be any different from them, and everyone or more proud, and occasionally I have the same idea. ”

Brando pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and unfolded it: “We don't know much. The legends of the past are as far away from us as mythological stories. We don't know that some people in the world are carrying a lot of things, fighting for us, like Miss Andrea and Lord Odin, who are the noblest people in the world, but...”

He handed the handkerchief to Queen Madara.

“It doesn't make any difference to us, it's not as complicated as you think, it's just a war, and anyone could die in it, including me, including you, but at least I can assure you that I will die before you, Your Majesty - wipe your face. ”

Queen Madara looked at Brando's white handkerchief with dismay, then looked up at him and Brando looked serious and serious.

“You're right, the sun may not rise again tomorrow, perhaps our world will perish in the next moment, but there's nothing to worry about - I'm ready to fight for it and die for it, as long as there's no regret or regret, then it's not as terrible as you think, is it? ”

Queen Madara hesitated for a moment and took the handkerchief from him, but she did not move, just tightened the pad.

“Well,” Brando looked at Her Majesty and replied, “I believe you're telling the truth, but then it's your turn to make me believe, Your Majesty. ”

“About me and White's plan? ”

“About everything. ”

Her Majesty frowned and stood beside her with a bright face of Philip, and she hesitated for a while to say, “Just like I told you about the principle, Odin promised four wise men that if there were an executor, there would naturally be an executor, and I was that one. ”

“This plan was not born one day at a time, it existed a long time ago, and my father, Odin, represented the will of the Truth Parliament, and in fact it was a continuation of the God-folk era, ruling the world with the empire of the mighty Minors, resisting the dragon of dusk with the power of the people of gold and silver, and the pastoralist's plan went even further, was to rebuild God and return to the God-folk era. ”

“After the Battle of the Saints broke out, my father did not want to cut off the hope of the mortal man because of the covenant between the gods and the Gods, so he eventually failed, but he made a covenant with the mortal and the pastoralist that this grand bet would come a thousand years later. ”

“Or because of that principle? ”

Queen Madara nodded: "The reason why we waited a thousand years later was because my father wanted to give the world of mortals a chance to reproduce. They were too weak at that time. My father revealed a part of the past and the future to the four wise men, who, after understanding the fate of Warnde, promised to become holy as a man of the covenant. ”

“And Gilt left his sword and took it out of Cruz, turning St. Osor into a spirit after the wind," she glanced at Brando: "You accept the inheritance of St. Osor, if I'm not mistaken, Count. ”

Brando was frightened, and for the first time anyone had seen the secret on him, but he didn't deny it, he just nodded.

“Fernzan should also leave something behind, but the wise man known as the wise man among the four has always been silent and we do not know what he left behind. I heard that in the last days of his life, he seemed to see something, and someone said he left the world, went to a very distant place, and didn't know if it was true. ”

When Brando heard about this, he understood most of it, and he said, "So you and Bai knew about the Dragon Queen's plan, but you didn't stop her, just a way to prepare for it outside of the plan, is that right? ”

“Yes, because I have to represent the other side of this principle, and when the dragon queen's plan fails, I have to guarantee the viability of another. ”

“What's the plan? ”

“I don't know, this plan was born out of the Vaughn mortal age, and Vaughn's mortalization was originally proposed by the Truth Council, but the Truth Council eventually split, and I only know its name, and its name is the Vaughn Plan ——”

“Warnde's plan…” Brando's memory fragments seem to be floating, like a starlit fire.

“The second half of this plan is actually out of the control of the Gods, and another great will took over it, but it didn't leave a name, I think it might be Martha, but it might be some other god - because the plan was carried out in secret, and even its implementers, don't understand what it stands for, and that's why it was put behind all the plans, even by my parents, just to leave a glimmer of hope for it, as God commanded. ”

“The glimmer of hope is Roman, your businesswoman. ”

“What?! ”

“So you see, precisely because of the existence of that great will, the dragon of dusk in the body of the world —— that is, your fiancée -- was not killed, and a divine message descended at the last minute, allowing the Truth Council to adopt a resolution to keep her until my father and mother were born. ”

“But why...”

“As I said, I don't know, it's only about one promise left by Martha, and Mother left us all a hope. ”

Brando raised his hand to Orphis: "Is that all? ”

“That's it," replied Queen Madara, "so going white to the Mets area, in addition to the plan to keep tabs on the dragon queen and the white queen, is looking for the legendary dark jewels lost in East Mets. ”

She looked at the handkerchief in her hand, picked it up, and gently wiped the blood stain off her face: "So because of the dragon queen's plan, she's bound to go beyond the boundaries of the elements, and for us as watchmen, we only calculate the failure of the plan and not consider what happens when it succeeds; but as for why we meet you, Mr. Count, maybe this is what Lord Martha left us hope--”

“Because this is our destiny...”
