The Amber Sword

And the heroes of these mortals, in that era of the wind and the clouds, were nothing. The dragon king cavalry of the silver elves recorded in history had a record record of success, while the heroes of mankind, the only Great Plains battle was won by the power of the silver elves, and it was already the most glorious.

The names of these people can be preserved more because of the propaganda of national temples and royalties or because of the biased record of history.

So when the Silver Pokémon, the Bukas, the legends of that era, and the mighty army names - Dragon King's Cavalry, War Giant Statue, Phoenix Guard - all disappeared into the world, it gave the world the illusion that the level of power of Warnd had been decreasing for a thousand years.

And in fact, in the world of mortals, since the Battle of the Saints, there has been tremendous advances in technology and magic, as can be seen from the gap between Tonigle and the most prosperous areas of Cruz before Brando became Lord. In the border areas of small States such as Eruin, the level of civilization is roughly equal to the average of Warnde a hundred years ago, and the gap between the centuries can be so great, not to mention that the Battle of the Saints has been around for nearly ten centuries.

In other words, the world of mortals is recovering. It is also logical that it adhered to the six recessions that preceded Warnde, arguably building a new kingdom on the ruins of past civilizations.

But the problem is that, in Brando's view, there is a clear fault between the two veins.

Theoretically, the age of mortal man was brought about by the knight Tianqing who broke the heavens and caused the stars to fall. That was actually the sixth invasion of dusk documented in the epic of the heavens - in which the fortress of Babel crashed because of the last blow of the dragon of dusk, and after the fall of the fortress, the divine people fell apart and the inheritance was lost, except for the army of the earth.

It was also the Dark Age when the people of God wandered over the earth.

In that last era, led by the dragons of darkness, Odin, the last generation of the Golden Ethnic Minors built their own empire, the last between the ages of mortals and gods.

Later, at the end of the Imperial era, four wise men were born who, with the help of the Silver People, overthrew the cruel rule of the Minors and established four kingdoms that truly belonged to mortals.

These four mortal kingdoms can be said to have been built on the ruins of the Minor Empire, or on the ruins and ruins of civilizations of the past six eras. But its development veins, with the Minors and the civilizations of the gods of the past, present two parallel lines that are completely irrelevant and have no intersection whatsoever.

Andrea, as a goddess of war, belongs to the Legion of the Earth, which is still in the hands of the Dark Dragon Odin, even at the end of the Minor Empire. But the power shown by the goddesses of war is quite different from any system of power known to Brando in this day and age.

Not to mention the more ancient ones, like the miracles he saw in the ruins of the gods, like Valhalla, and the silver plains about the mystery of Princess Magdalene, the hidden power of which seems to differ from what it is today.

All the signs show that the system of power and order of the past era is a system of power that is very different and distinct from the system of power that mortals of this era possess, a system of power and order that is more akin to what he sees outside the boundaries of the elements.

Those strange assembled matrices, the tens of millions of 'satellites' that float over Warnde, are the systems of power that are homologous to those of the past, the heritage of another era, and they are not fundamentally different from each other.

Why is this happening?

In this day and age, all the power that people are familiar with - the power of magic and law, even the magic technology of the Hazers - is very rough, and there are not many traces of the past era on them. Because people use chaotic magic from the sea of magic in a way they understand, whether it's elemental messengers, law wizards, or any other profession, let alone witches who communicate with dark magic by directly bypassing the forces of order and law.

These forces, which belong to this era, are almost primitive in comparison to the laws that Andrea has in their possession - or to higher levels of authority and power, such as the power of a brigade magician - as if they were a contrast between the machetes of the Stone Age and modern firearms.

Brando himself holds such power that he can understand it more deeply. His Magic Loss card makes it easy to suppress all spells in the world and suppress all practitioners, which is the highest priority. This is why Tumen and Fusia, as well as the Deer Body Girl, refer to the power of the Brigadier Master repeatedly:

Only a travel magician can fight a travel magician, which is one of the fundamental principles of the world of order created by Martha.

And neither the power of the brigade magician nor the power of the goddess of war is without a doubt the legacy of the last era.

These legacies, as if they were obscured by an invisible force, are isolated from this era. So that no man can stand above its height but struggle out of obscurity on a path that belongs only to him, above the wilderness of darkness and thorns.

So when the will of the Dragon at dusk was outside the boundaries of the elements and possessed by Roman, he said to Ellenta and Dragon Queen with disdain, 'Your inheritance is not necessarily inherited from the people of God.’ In that case, come.

Brando recalled that this tendency had actually begun with the first Dark Dragon of the Minors.

There is no doubt that the Legion of the Earth was the heir of the last era, and that the empire of the Minors was the heir of the civilization of the last era, so what about the kingdom of the four mortals? It should be the heir to the Dark Empire.

In fact, there's a lot of inheritance from the Minor Empire, whether it's Cruz or Fanzan, or Ellanta or St. Osor ——

The magic system of this era stems from the Minor era.

Law Magic, Elemental Magic, String Magic, Witchcraft, Writing Magic, Sacred Word, Astrology, Psychic and Magical Array Magic, Magic The classification of the nine faction and faction magicians began in the middle and late Minor dynasty.

The system of sword art, sword saint and extreme sword saint was also established by the Minors.

Tumen also created the post-chaotic elemental matrix.

The Magic Fourteenth Ring System was born in the Agate of Agatu, the last dragon of darkness, the former three emperors of Odin.

This era of alchemy, puppet technology, produced the mid- and pre-war period of the Saints.

The Hazel's magic technology, in fact, was first conceived by Tumen.

There is no doubt, however, that these are not the only inheritances of the Minors, and that an empire with a brigade magician, even if the legacy of the last era was lost in the Sixth War, cannot be completely lost.

Not to mention the Land Corps, if Brando didn't know about the Land Corps before, and thought it was just a traditional force, then when he witnessed the presence of Andrea and others, he would also understand that the Dark Dragon Odin must have inherited from the last era.

But why is the kingdom of mortals, taken from the empire of the Minors, only created by themselves?

Where's the legacy of the last era?

Brando can't help but think about the history of the Minors, who were once the most powerful of the Golden Nation - what is the Golden Nation? Warriors of the gods. Just look at the dragons and you can see how powerful the Golden Nation really is.

But in the Battle of the Saints, the level of power displayed by the Minors can only count as slightly stronger than that of the Silver People. It can be a powerful Silver Empire, but it is far from the kingdom of the Golden People.

But there is no doubt that in the days of the Tianqing knights, the Minors were definitely of the golden ethnicity, because the Tianqing knights themselves - the Minors.

In other words, the level of power of the Minor Empire, from its inception until the end of the empire, is decreasing.

But...

If the kingdom of the Gods and the subdecline of civilization before the Six Wars was due to an invasion at dusk.

If the decline in the power level of the human world since the Battle of the Saints is due to the chain reaction caused by the untold death of the Silver People.

So why is the Minor Empire fading?

Although the Minors have been fighting Chaos Legion outside the Elemental Barrier since the late Middle Ages, when the will of dusk began to awaken, until then the Empire has been proud, with no external enemies or divisions, and has gone through quite a long period of peace.

In an era like this, empires are not only at the power level, but even science and technology and civilization are regressing.

This is not necessarily in keeping with the pattern of things.

There is only one possible explanation for this in Brando's heart - the Gods and Martha's plan:

The age of mortals--

This is the only reason why the Minors consciously renounced their civilizational heritage from the last era and began to chart a path to their own.

It is only this reason that explains the invisibility of the people of silver and the reason for concealing the truth from all people.

But for the time being, it was just a speculation in his mind, which actually existed in him from the moment he reached the boundary of the elements, and only became more entrenched when he saw the goddesses of war, such as Andrea, who confirmed the true identity of the army of the earth.

But that's not enough.

He implicitly felt that he had caught something, but needed further evidence, and that too many necessary links were missing from these speculations. He had a premonition that there might be another truth behind this secret, but Andrea had limited memories, that the goddesses of war were actually manufactured as weapons of war, and that they had little memories of their birthplace, the Silver Plains, or anything about the past.

But in their mouths there is another tribe that, for some reason, has fallen into Warnd, which is undoubtedly the ancestor of Freya, a bloodline passed down from generation to generation in the human world, clearly more likely to have memories of the past.

That's why Brando cares so much about this issue, not least because he wants Freya to solve her own mystery, but because of this speculation.

He had this idea that it might have something to do with that final answer —— what is the age of mortals, what exactly do the gods and Martha want to do?

Brando walked down the corridor courtyard, telling Freya about this idea, and of course omitting the most bizarre and farcical part of it. Because he couldn't explain to Freya what the so-called ‘technology’ was and what he had heard and learned in his past life.

He just told Freya that her birth might have something to do with the Minor people and the secret left behind by the Dark Dragon.

Freya revealed herself in contemplation, and she thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something: "I know very little about my parents, Brando, and everything about the past is just hearsay. Her Royal Highness once suggested that I have the opportunity to visit my mother's family in Farnon. She has mountain blood, and most mountain people have a long record of their own people and history...”

“And this,” said Lady Wushu, removing a necklace from her neck: "This is what my mother left me. My uncle and aunt handed it to me during my bar mitzvah...”

“Is this the relic of your parents?” Brando was surprised: "… this is too expensive, Freya. ”

“Nothing, Brando,” Freya shook her head: "I have very little memory of my parents, and if it helps you find clues about my mother, it means a lot more than it does itself, and besides, there are more important reasons, isn't there? ”

Brando took the necklace with a little girl's temperature and held it in his hand, which was a beautiful silver pendant with a very ordinary moonstone on it.

Freya looked at him holding the necklace in his hand and his face was slightly red, thinking about where the necklace had been placed.

Brando checked the necklace, neither of them spoke for a while, and there was silence in the corridor, only a faint moonlight.

Miss Wushu took two steps and suddenly slowed down her steps, stopping and shouting softly: "Brando. ”

Brando stunned, and he hadn't found anything suspicious about the necklace, which seemed like an unusual relic carrying the blessings and sympathy of a mother for her daughter.

He heard Freya screaming her name behind him, just wanting to turn around, suddenly feeling slightly tight, his arms coming from behind him and hugging him tightly in the chest.

Brando shut his mouth.

“I'll be waiting for you in Eluin," Freya said with her cheek on her back, almost shaking softly. “Everyone's gonna be fine, right? ”

Brando nodded.

Yeah, it's gonna be okay.

Whether it's the world or whoever he wants to guard.
