The Amber Sword

The whining cold wind swept in, and Antitina was born into a cold war.

Tony Gehl's winter, though cold, is nothing compared to here. Rin winds like knives cut human skin, deep into the bone marrow, freeze souls, instantly formed a layer of white frost on long lashes, exhaled hot air formed a white mist, and turned eyes into the misty fog around them.

Utah walked her through the light door and stopped to gauge the place with her spare time. Eyes are full of foggy ice and snow. In the distance there seems to be a staggered glacier. Under the fractured rock hanging ice prisms and columns, the wind whistles, but the fog can't be blown away. The fog is pouring, as if it were a living monster.

Utah didn't feel cold in the cold wind and smiled back and asked: "Do you know what this place is? ”

Antitina slowly moved her gaze and shook her head.

Utah smiled, “This is the land of fog. ”

“Fog country? ”

“Man also calls it the Ice Country," Utah said, looking up at a pale ice field and picking up a snowflake, the snowflake disappeared in her hand: "It is above the gray and cinematic realms, but it is still part of the lower realm. The Fog Nation rules the cold, and the snowflakes scattered here are not real snow, but shallow water is a projection here. ”

She pointed over her finger: “There, the shallow sea. ”

Antitina raised her head and could not even speak of the existence of the sky. Utah seemed to be very interested in her behavior, and made a joke: “You can't see there. After all, the fog country and the water element world are two worlds. Because of the absence of the law, you can't see the shallow water here, you can only see the ice and snow. ”

“Is the seat of the end here?” Antitina asked.

Utah shook her head: “I guess Martha put it where it all came from. ”

“Where it all came from? ”

“The light floats in the water, the spirit comes out of the water, and that's where all of your worlds are born and where she awakens," replied Utah —— or the dragon of dusk, “but I've never found it in ages, and it's as if it never existed. ”

“Don't you have something you can't find, Dusk Dragon? ”

“It's perfectly normal, because I'm missing the most important key, in my capacity, and I can't possibly get the approval of seven swords.” Utah replied softly.

Antitina was silent for a moment and asked: "Where is everything born, right here? ”

Utah shook his head again: "I think its entrance, in the land of the dead - the Dark Elements Realm. ”

“Then why did you bring me here? ”

Utah turned around and looked at her: "Because the Heim underworld is indeed bordered by the Fog Nation, in such a big circle, naturally you don't want to alarm Martha. ”

“Lord Martha? ”

Utah pulled a dagger out of her sheath and gently cut a mouth on her hand as if she didn't feel any pain. She turned her hand and let the blood drip over the snow. Strangely enough, in such cold weather, the bleeding on her wrist meant nothing to solidify, and fell a little on the white snow.

Her eyes flashed with a golden light, watching herself bleed, softly answering: "We've been too familiar with each other for seven eras of war. I think she might have guessed that I would end up with something that happened in the stagnation world that taught me a lesson, and that woman was really tough to deal with--”

Antitina frowned: “What are you doing? ”

Utah did not answer the question, and she stepped forward in the snow, drawing a matrix of blood; the blood in the matrix creeping like it was given life, approaching the center and gradually connecting with each other.

Antittina saw the scene and suddenly understood her intentions.

She suddenly struggled and rushed over to try to stop Utah. But the head of the female mercenary took a step back. When the sword appeared in her left hand, she grabbed the handle of the sword and swept it over the small belly of the lady of the staff. Antina felt only a flinch in her belly and fell on her knees in the snow.

Looking at her, Utah smiled and said: "Your goddess has reconnected with Tony Gerb, and I cannot penetrate this land sheltered by the remains of seven saints with the fall of the Black Moon - although the so-called insurmountable fortress is often disintegrated from within. Look, what you're doing now is just a waste of time. ”

Antitina frowned painfully, almost biting a bite of silver teeth, and she looked at her with hatred in the cold snow, silent.

Blood in the snow, it's starting to light up a little bit.

……

The last festivities a few days ago left a mess that gradually became obscured by the wind and snow. In the silence of Dailinger city, men have long worn armor and picked up their weapons to fight against dusk. There is only a depression left on the street, and there are still a few pieces of broken cloth floating with the wind in the square.

The magical brilliance of the sky from time to time, the explosions fluctuated and the city seemed to tremble irresistibly.

But in the lonely streets, there was a young girl walking in the snow and the chilly wind, as if it didn't stop her from happening. She wore a leather dress that was common among traders in the Golan Elson area, satchel bag, backpack her hands, and kicked the snow troupe of the street with a round toe of leather shoes with interest, as if naive, swinging left and right curiously to gauge the surrounding scenery.

“What is this place? ”

“Why did you come here? ”

The girl muttered to herself, not a word like who she was talking to. But all of a sudden, she stopped steadily - there was a shop in front, the roof twisted in half in the snow, and the interior looked like a grocery house, dim, with only one candle.

But at least this is the only open shop on the street, and the owner is a middle-aged man, limping around the house carrying things. The city was empty and he had no business. He seemed to be about to close, but turned around and saw the girl standing in front of his shop.

The man was stunned, and he had a visible scar on his face, which seemed a little sluggish in the dark light. His leg seemed to have been injured and he had some inconvenience walking. He looked at the young girl in confusion and asked: "What family are you? Why haven't you escaped? ”

The girl crooked her head and replied, "I don't have a family. My name is Roman, by the way. Uncle, haven't you left yet? ”

The man laughed bitterly: "You see how I can walk like this? It sucks anyway. At most, it's just sitting here. It would be a shame if you stayed here. ”

As he said, he moved his body forcefully and let Roman walk into the house.

With curiosity, the merchant lady weighed the setting in the store. There was a familiar feeling in her mind, as if she remembered bargaining with others in a store like this, and a young man with a sad face stood beside herself.

But those memories were vague and distant, and even she didn't know what was real or what was fake.

“Never mind, don't say those bad things, little girl. What do you want to buy?” The man walked limply to the counter, asking.

Roman's eyes fell on an old canister on the shelf that was somewhat old, a beautiful glass canister filled with colorful sugar paper, but with a slightly smudged surface and a well-preserved lid with a golden buckle.

It was like a dream that reflected the past, and she looked at the can and stunned for a while.

“Brando, I want that sugar can. ”

“But we don't have that kind of money. ”

“Hey, hey, when I get the money in the future, I'm gonna have to buy it - by the way, why don't we go and borrow some from Freya. ”

“Don't even think about it. ”

The man looked at the past with her eyes and pointed at the canister and asked, "Do you want this?” He looked at the canister and gently picked it up, revealing some nostalgia: “This is my daughter's birthday present. ”

“Birthday present? ”

The man nodded silently.

“Where's your daughter? ”

“She died in the First Black Rose War. ”

“The First Black Rose War?” Roman blinked slowly.

“What?”

She shook her head gently: "What a terrible war, I escaped so easily. ”

This sentence actually made the middle-aged man stay for a while. After a long time, he replied naughtily: "Yeah, if she could escape, she'd be almost as big as you. ”

“Can you sell it to me? ”

The man looked silently at the canister and nodded: "If you like. ”

The merchant lady took out her purse, but couldn't help but look up a little embarrassed: “Can I credit you? I took all my money for the wicked woman. ”

The man stared at the lady.

“Can't you? ”

He shook his head helplessly and smiled and put the canister in front of her: "By the way, what's the use of money in this mouthful right now? If it satisfies you, it's enough. ”

Roman held the canister in his hands and nodded in a row: "I'll keep it safe.” She glanced out at the snow and slightly wrinkled her little brow.

“Are you going back, little girl?” The man suddenly asked, “Where is your home, or should I take you back? ”

Roman nodded and shook his head again.

“I don't have a home.” But I really have to go, "she replied." That bad woman is calling me. ”

“Bad woman? ”

Roman smiled sweetly at him.

Then she took a slight step forward, as if an optical door had been opened in front of her so that the businesswoman could step in. In a blink of an eye, the girl disappeared without a trace with the sugar canister in her hand, and the middle-aged man stood staring at her, unable to move for a long time.

……

Yuta slowly closed her eyes and the golden light in her eyes gradually faded.

Antitina stared closely at the array, and the light in it was getting brighter and brighter, and suddenly a page of black light doors gradually opened. Roman walked out of it gently with a canister of sugar and stepped on top of the snow. The soft snow couldn't let her fall for half an inch.

She looked at the staff lady with some surprise: "Hey, Antina, what are you doing here? ”

“Roman?” Antitina looked at Miss Merchant in shock: “You… you are back? ”

The look on Roman's face was restrained and he smiled coldly: "Of course not. ”

Then, in the gaze of Antina, she threw away the canister in her hand. The glass jar rolled twice in the snow, both lids knocked open, and the sugar paper decorations in the jar suddenly scattered with the cold wind and fell to the floor.

Roman took a gentle sigh of relief and said, "Ah, this body is getting really hard to use.” She looked back at Utah and the head of the female mercenary had passed out due to excessive blood loss.

She just turned around and laughed, “Well, I'm here anyway. Do you really think it's futile for me to let the Sassards cause civil strife in Eruin? Though the dog was a little silly, it still worked a little. ”

The Dragon of Dusk looked into Antina's eyes, and under her pressure, the Lady of Staff felt only a moment of darkness in front of her eyes, and soybean sweat seeped out of her forehead. She gasped and replied with a slight amount of effort: "You seduced the Salads... to start the civil war in Eruin, only for this purpose? ”

Roman shook his head: “That's not necessarily necessary, but my body is still awake. If you hadn't moved too fast, I wouldn't have to be in such trouble. ”

“What exactly do you... want? ”

“I knew the beacon was in the guy's hands, but it's okay, Kwon, when he was leading the way for me —— but you're more important, my dear Antina, the beacon can have a lot, but there's only one key. ”

“Never mind, uh--” Antitina suddenly opened her eyes.

Because the businesswoman leaned up almost face-to-face and stared at her eyes. Under Roman's long lashes, his beautiful eyes stared at him, and the dragon of dusk opened his lips slightly, exhaling as Randy said: "Not necessarily, my dear Antina, have you forgotten that we are friends...”

At two o'clock, the golden light penetrated deep into the lady's heart, but for a moment Antina fell heavily on the ground.

Roman smiled and clapped her hands, and she glanced at Sleeping Antina with satisfaction, slowly reaching the edge of the fractured glacier. Another unusual sound came from the cold wind, and suddenly, only a giant crystal claw, like a mountain, suddenly rose from beneath the cliff and grabbed the edge of the cliff.

A giant beast is slowly exposing all of its body, compared to a merchant lady standing on the edge of a glacier who looks like a piece of sand.

But before Roman, the crystal giant slowly lowered his head.

The Dusk Dragon smiled at his men and said softly, "Astony, can't wait for 10,000 years? ”

The King of the Cluster made a low roar.

“Don't worry," she replied with a smile, pointing to Antina and Utah: “Take them. ”

Astony, king of the clusters, looked at her in confusion.

“How dare you disobey my orders? ”

Astony answered with a low voice and retreated slightly to show his yield. It lifted its paws, swung an invisible ripple in the air, and the dark magic surged from the sea of elements, lifting Antina and Utah into its palms.

“Protect them," replied the Dragon of Dusk. “Especially the little girl, they still work for me. ”

Astony nodded.
