forest.
The figure behind the bushes is basically the same size as Link guessed, about 1.6 meters tall, petite, with a simple and neat ponytail on his head, and a pair of pure and big eyes with complex expressions, as if with a trace of Ignorant, but also seems to have the fatigue and vicissitudes of seeing through the world.
She is wearing a simple and neat leather armor. The style and color of the leather armor are very strange. It doesn't look like the style of Ferroman's world, nor the style of the plane of Agura that Link has experienced. There is a sword pinned to it, the hilt of the sword is very worn out, and there are still many small gaps on the guard of the sword body.
Link has sharp eyes, and he can tell at a glance that this sword must have gone through countless battles. These gaps are left after colliding with the opponent's weapon, and from the runes on the hilt, it can be seen that this is the sword he once fought for Nana. Crafted Main Hand Weapon: 'The Last Nightmare'.
"Master." The woman had already said aloud, and at the same time, she took a step forward and knelt down in front of Link.
"Master?" Milos was very surprised. The change was a bit big, and he couldn't react for a while.
Ailette on the side knew Nana, he explained softly: "She is the legendary puppet who once killed the first holder of the Dark Artifact: Nana."
"Ah~" Milos was even more surprised when he heard the name. Didn't he remember that Nana stayed in the plane of Agura? Why does it appear in Ferroman now
Link ignored his surprise. Through the puppet contract between him and Nana, he had already confirmed that this was still his Nana. He stepped forward, bowed to help Nana up from the ground, and asked, " How did you come back?"
Nana stood up and pursed her lips in a very humane way: "Princess Mirda found out about Avril Lavigne, and she finally agreed to the fusion of planes. At the same time, she also sent two 5th-level... that is, 14th-level flame warriors. Dawn Island. She is now a holy priest of the Fire Cult, and there are a lot of Pyro Warriors around her, and she no longer needs Nana's protection, so Nana came back."
Her tone of voice still had a slight sense of machinery, but it was so slight that ordinary people could hardly hear it, let alone tell that it was a puppet.
Link looked at Nana's arm, then at the sword at her waist, and frowned slightly: "You are injured, who did the injury on your waist?"
The leather armor on Nana is not damaged, but Link is so sensitive. He is a master of martial arts, especially since he has been practicing the martial arts Soul Furnace learned by Amanda recently, he is surprisingly sensitive.
Just now Nana knelt down on one knee, and was supported by her to stand up again. In this movement, Link could see that there was a flaw in the power flow around her waist.
Nana lowered her head and said nothing.
Link didn't need her to say that, with a slight movement of his mind, a pure power of plane essence appeared, condensing into a light spot in the air, and this light spot quickly circled around Nana's body. Three seconds later, it It submerged into Link's body again with the detected information.
Link already knew Nana's physical condition. Nana's power level should be at the peak of level 13, which shouldn't be particularly strong in Aragu, but her power is very pure, only slightly inferior to the power of his plane essence That's all.
It purely represents a high degree of control. Nana's martial arts must be very terrifying, but there is a trace of intrusive alien power on her waist.
"This is a knife wound. There is a trace of flame power on the knife. This power level is very high, with a level of 19, but it is very thin. Was it the flame warrior of the Agni Cult who injured you?"
"Yes." Nana nodded.
Link's thoughts changed, and he had already guessed the general truth: "You and Mirdad had a falling out... No, you wouldn't do this, it was Mirda who objected to your coming back, but she couldn't persuade you, so she sent someone to destroy you ,Right?"
The expression on Nana's face was a bit sad. She sighed and nodded lightly: "I can't hide it from the master, she...she is no longer what she used to be. After 113 years, she has already been completely thrown into the fire." She has become the mortal spokesperson of Raging Fire God, she... is intoxicated by the supreme power, and has already forgotten her master."
"Oh~" Link nodded. This change was expected. Not to mention Mirda, if he had left Celine and hadn't seen her for more than a hundred years, he might have forgotten her. It's just human nature.
Well, since Mirda is already the spokesperson of the Agni Cult and has held the Agni Cult for more than a hundred years, she should already be a very mature old politician. It would be ridiculous to talk about the relationship between men and women with such a person (see A certain hope in the United States).
Then it is not difficult to understand what she did to Nana.
Thinking of this, Link asked, "Did someone follow you through the plane?"
Nana shook her head: "No, all the trackers were beheaded by Nana... Nana's current weakness is caused by crossing planes, and resisting the energy turbulence of the sea of void consumes a lot of Nana's strength... The entry fee After Roman, Nana appeared in the Hengduan Mountains and rushed all the way here, but she didn't expect to meet her master here."
Having said that, Link already has a complete understanding of Nana's situation.
After more than a hundred years in the Alagu Empire, Mirda has changed, Nana has changed, both of them have changed a lot, but there is only one thing that has not changed, that is, Nana still belongs to Link, in her heart , Link has always been her master, so Mirda sent the Pyro Warrior to deal with Link, she did not hesitate to turn against Mirda, and immediately rushed back to Ferroman.
But judging from Nana's performance, Mirda also holds a lot of weight in her heart, but it's a pity that what Mirda did violated the highest principle in her heart.
Thinking of this, Link sighed softly in his heart, the vicissitudes of time, all human hearts are untrustworthy, the only thing that can be trusted is the puppet he created.
Patting Nana's shoulder lightly, Link smiled and said, "It's good to be back, your protection mission is over, follow me now."
"Nana understands." Nana stood behind Link, in exactly the same position as a hundred years ago.
Now that Nana is back, she is a very good helper, but her strength has not yet fully recovered, Link is about to take a rest, and it happens that the Orida Fortress is nearby, so he said: "Let's go to the Orida Fortress now. "
Ailette and Milos had no objections, and Nana naturally had no objections, so the group turned to Orida Fortress.
Because Nana was weak, Link walked slowly all the way. Along the way, he learned about the situation of the Alagu Empire with Nana, and Nana naturally knew everything.
From her mouth, Link knew the situation of the Alagu Empire in the past hundred years.
In the past hundred years, the Alagu plane has not been peaceful, and it has also experienced drastic changes. The formerly powerful Alagu Empire collapsed fifteen years after he left, and it was divided into two parts. And other races formed a new empire with the fire religion belief as the core: Yan. Another part of the Aragus inherited the imperial tradition and continued the glory of the Aragus Empire.
The two empires are now in a state of fighting against each other. There have been wars and chaos for a hundred years, and the peace lasted no more than two years. The Alagu plane is also scarred.
These scars were caused by the magician's forbidden spell. After several forbidden spells, perhaps the will of the plane was offended. Maybe the forbidden spell changed the rules, or there may be some other unknown reasons. In short, the concentration of magic energy in the plane has dropped. Many, now less than one-fifth of what it was a hundred years ago!
A direct change of the drop in magic power is that there are fewer strong people, and the promotion speed has also slowed down greatly. In addition, many strong people of the old school have fallen in the war. Now the strongest person in the Alagu plane is the god of fire. , followed by the Snow Mountain Dharma God of the Alagu Empire. These two 19th-level masters exist at the guardian level. If they go down, there will be a fault in their power, and they will drop from 19th level to 16th level.
There is also a hidden change that the flow of time has slowed down greatly. Of course, only a few people know this. The current flow of time on the Alagu plane is only about 1.5 times that of Ferroman.
Mirda is now a level 16 powerhouse. Apart from the two level 19 Dharma gods, she is one of the strongest in the world. He is the Black Flame Emissary of the Fire Cult and the commander of the Flame Legion.
In a hundred years, more than 50 million people died under her and the Flame Legion she led. In Alagu, Salvini also has a title called Black Blood Rose.
Hearing this, Ailette on the side suddenly asked: "Nana, you have never talked about yourself. What is your status in the Yan Empire?"
"Nana's identity?" Nana smiled wryly: "My strength is improving too slowly. In the beginning, Nana was Mirda's guard captain. As Mirda's cronies increased, Nana became marginalized. When Nana came back, she was just one of Mirdad's twelve holy warriors."
"Isn't it?" Milos heard something was wrong: "Since you are marginalized, if you want to leave, why would Mirdad send someone to hunt you down? This shows that she thinks you are important."
"Perhaps, she is afraid that Nana will send news to Link?" Nana said.
It makes sense for her to say that, Milos and Ailette believed it, but Link's heart moved slightly. He felt that Nana seemed to be hiding something. No, it should not be said to be concealed, but that she might not think it was important. , so did not say.
Link feels that Nana's status in the so-called Agni Cult may not be as low as she said. Of course, this is just an intuition, and there is no direct evidence.
Thinking of this, Link didn't ask. Now that Nana is back, she has nothing to do with the Fire Cult. She is just his Nana now.
He said, "The Orida Fortress is just ahead. I just went to see Marshal Canoxiu... Nana, I think your recovery speed is a bit slow."
Nana nodded: "This is also Nana's major shortcoming. After all, I am not a life of flesh and blood. My body is not perfect. After my energy is exhausted, it will take a long time to recover."
Link thought for a while and said, "It's easy to handle. I'll check your body and maybe I can find a way to improve it."
Ailette laughed when she heard this: "Be careful that Celine finds out and troubles you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Link, and he hurriedly changed his mouth and said with a smile: "Nana, you are blessed. In the past few years, Link's magic has reached an incredible level. I doubt that he can use magic directly. Make a man, he will definitely solve your troubles."
Nana smiled: "Nana's master has always been the most powerful magician!"
