The Amber Sword

“Of course, but the Moon Lane isn't really a world, at best it's a half side of the law that's incomplete.” Ruth looked up at the world and then said: "This may have been part of the frontier of the element of stagnation, but it was completely destroyed in the war, leaving only this fragment behind, and the Bukas forged it into what we saw before us, which was accomplished through the power of powerful spells...”

When it comes to this, Ruth's face also shows a dark glimmer, because he suddenly thinks of Warnde's elemental boundaries - and so does his hometown at this moment - that have become torn apart.

His people, Miss Tata's people, don't know where they're going at the moment.

He stopped and continued: “Modern Bukas do not necessarily have the means to do this, and I suspect that there may be gods who helped them accomplish such great works, and of course in those days everything was possible. ”

Brando prevented the little fairy from further explaining the theory, saying only: "The void between the world and the world, as the magicians have long argued, is in fact part of the sea of magic, which we call the Ethereal Face and the Star Realm, which is filled with magical forces that are more powerful than our world, and between the two worlds, such spaces are often closed, so what Ruth says is possible. ”

“So," Ruth nodded, happy with Brando's intervention, honestly, the fairies are all professional elements of the magician, although his duties are swordsman, but magically far more talented than mortal. For a professional magician, it would be difficult to explain one thing so easily, compared to a half-hung like Brando: “I think we can choose a simpler approach, which is to simply bypass this seal and go into stagnation. ”

“Around the seal?” Everyone was surprised.

“Yes, there is an additional benefit to doing so, as the Moon Passage completes its historic mission when the line of stagnation opens and disappears completely. In this way, the seal of Arkentu flows into the gap between the voids, and its sheep-shoulder servants may not find that empty seal for tens of thousands of years, not to mention that entering the void is itself a time-consuming and extremely dangerous thing. ”

In other words, ”Princess Magdalene said with surprise:" It amounts to a disguised strengthening of the seal on the Lord of Purgatory, right? ”

“Yes.”

“That's great.” Even Mr. Liu's face revealed a colour of interest, "he echoed. ”

“No.”

The young dragon shouted out loud, causing everyone to look at her in dismay.

“Why, Miss Aroz?” Magdalene looks at the dragon strangely: “Is there anything wrong with the plan? ”

……

“Are you saying that those mortals would bypass me and open the line of stagnation? ”

Arkentu's voice thundered in the void, as thunder rolled in the cloud, and its power as the main demon was fully manifested in this sealed space. Even the dragons such as Frofa were unstable, let alone the houses in the crowd, already pale and sweaty.

At this time, he felt that his consciousness had begun to shake a little. Although the dragon had shielded the spirit of his heart with dragon spell, that spell was only for Arkentu's split body, and for a demon lord, the spell was a little too little too much to read.

Fortunately, Arkentu no longer values such a mortal person who has little use for him, but in his eyes, the life of Fanch is just a demand, and there is no need to waste any spirit on such a worm.

At this moment, it's like hearing the funniest thing, scorning: "No, they won't. The leading young man, though extremely powerful, is a woman's benevolent, indecisive man," Arkentu said, referring to Fanche: "With this guy, they will never banish this seal into the void, or they will never see their companion. ”

When Housch heard this, the whole person was struck by a lightning bolt and his face became ugly.

If it was someone else on the team, he believed that Brando might really spare no effort to unwrap the seal and fight Arkentu. But unlike him, he understood that he was forced to join the adventure team, but in fact he had never reached a settlement with Phoenix Fire and the Eruin.

Ultimately, it was just that he was less powerful than others and had to obey Brando's orders.

In such a situation, would Brando risk releasing a demon lord to save him? Housch felt that he would not have made such a foolish choice if he had been in the right place.

Not to mention how risky it is to do so alone, but simply to reincarnate Arkentu, which is a terrible drain for Vaughn.

The more Fancy thought about it, the less hope she felt, she couldn't help but lose face and thought that this time she chose to mix water was a complete failure.

And now he's going to pay for that failure.

“Humph," Frofa dismissed Arkentu's words: "Mortals are often so changeable that anyone must know what it is to them to rescue their companions and unleash a demon lord. No one with an IQ would make that judgment in order to save a man and put millions of people in danger. ”

“That's true in theory," Arkentu said, not nervously: "But the other person in the team who has a voice, he looks like your companion, right? ”

The demon lord looked closely at Frofa's expression and seemed to want to see from the dragon girl's face a mixture of consternation, anxiety and regret. Unfortunately, Frofa only frowned.

“That was my former companion, but unfortunately he was not loyal to his master. ”

Arkentu was somewhat appreciative of the coldness: “Perhaps so, but I don't think that's what the little girl thinks. She knows you're here, and I'm afraid she won't allow anyone else to make that decision. ”

“So you think we're chips, too?” Frofa replied coldly.

“It's an honor. ”

The more Frofa didn't want to talk to this guy, she hid that it wasn't that simple, so she stopped talking and watched.

And on the other side, in the valley...

Brando shook his head at the same time: "Aloz was right that apart from Miss Frofa, Archie was among them, and we couldn't do that. ”

He glanced at the phoenix fire and thought about it and explained: "Whatever his previous camp was, he was captured by mistake in our team, and we are responsible for any companion in this team. In the ranks of adventurers, no one is abandoned. ”

“I understand, teacher,” the phoenix nodded calmly, and the ghost car and Yufeng were avenged, but she didn't despise falling downhole at a time like this.

“I have heard similar vows in some mercenary groups in the north," Mr. Liu was somewhat surprised by what Brando said: “I heard it was an ancient agreement between mercenaries, but it had expired for a long time, and I heard it had something to do with the sacred covenant? ”

Brando nodded, and this was the covenant of the Grey Mercenary, which was in itself an oath of partition from the sacred covenant. This vow was widely disseminated in the Ten Cities area, but in modern times it has lost its rightful utility.

Instead, in the game, this covenant became one of the conventions that players adhered to together and one of the cornerstones of the players' guild in The Sword of Amber.

The first time he heard this vow, he learned to speak to him himself.

But he quickly omitted to talk about it. The current situation was similar to the worst he had anticipated. At the previous festival, he had guessed that something like this might happen. The power Arkentu had gained from the festival was obviously being used for his seal.

But not to reinforce the seal, but to accumulate the power of the seal, which may not be enough for this enormous seal, but if it is loosened with an external seal - enough is enough.

And it may be far more than that, and the Buga seal should be multidirectionally closed - that is, either the seal of the Moon channel to Arkentu or the seal of the Moon channel to the Moon, to the line of stagnation or vice versa - completely closed.

But Arkentu should use the power of the Easter ritual to open one of the one-way passages, the Moon Passage, to its sealed portal - much easier than breaking the seal itself.

But then they had to throw a mouse whiskey.

But Brando has a long history of judgment about this. “We must enter the realm of stagnation," he said, silencing everyone at the same time, "if we have to open the seal of Arkentu, we must at least guarantee the integrity of this matrix. ”

“What does that mean, Brando? ”

“Let me explain," Lute answered, understanding what Brando meant. "This seal array is multi-directionally closed, it shuts down multiple exits from the Ethereal surface where the seal is located from the magical architecture, and if we have to open this seal, we have to lead Arkentu through the exit that it doesn't want to flush out to mitigate the damage. ”

“Like what? ”

“What we need is an exit that goes one-way into the stagnation so that we don't have to open the stagnation to the Moon Passage or the exit to the Green Sea outside, and vice versa for the seal. ”

“I understand," others also understood at this time: "That is, the direction in which Arkentu broke through the seal was the line of stagnation, so that even if it broke out, arrival would only be the line of stagnation, and the line of stagnation sealed by this court would not open the same way as Warnd's connection. ”

Ruth nodded.
