If Chongshan's trial is a dream, then for Brando, this dream is gradually collapsing at this time.
After the rift in space that he and Bai had seen before swept through the sky, the entire trial became unstable. There were many blank areas in the space, and the broken ice and rocks screamed at them. Rolling down in the rift, the glacier quickly split in four or five, and waves of avalanches that were a hundred times more spectacular than he had experienced before surged, as if to completely crush the world.
In the collapsed world, there is no longer a passage that can be called a'road' to go on. If he is still in the previous state, I am afraid that he is already dead at this moment without a place to bury him, but the fact is that his current state is better than It was much better before.
Bai's words have given him immense help, already knowing that this is a spiritual world, then no matter how terrifying the scene is staged in front of his eyes, Brando only needs to be firm and unwavering, so he is naturally harmless.
He moved forward step by step, as if he had made a way out of this frantic scene—at this moment, even the white mist attached to his spiritual world did not dare to speak cynicly and sarcastically. She was frightened, although she was better than the former. She knows the nature of this world better, but she doesn't have the outrageous will attributes of Brando. Even if she understands it, she still can't avoid being affected by everything right now.
She can only wait nervously for the result—whether Brando conquered this trial, or lost everything with her.
But Brando saw a strange scene at this moment—
He saw that a wide avenue appeared in this collapsed world. Although it was also a snowfield, it was not affected by the surrounding glaciers. Everything collapsed and collapsed on both sides of it, disappearing side by side on both sides of it, but it remained motionless, like a completely silent world.
Also in Brando’s spiritual world, Bai Nature, who used Brando’s eyes to observe the world, also saw such a scene. She lost her voice and made her debut: "The sage leads the way..."
Brando raised his head, and a back figure was deeply carved into his eyes.
It was an emerald color that was very different from this snowy world. He could not even see the thin figure walking deep and shallow in the snowy field, but only a cloak was flying around, like a banner.
"This is… "
Brando’s pupils shrank in circles—
In this world, there was once an epic: the knight named Azure, shattered the sky, attracted stars to fall to the ground, and announced the end of an era.
He holds the holy spear in the sky, guarding the dark night of mortals.
But he is not an extraordinary person.
"So are you a mortal, Brando?"
"I'm."
"Then are you a mortal, Sophie?"
"..."
Brando was silent, as if two voices were asking and answering in his heart.
"Come on!"
"Come on, Brando!" Bai's voice yelled anxiously in his mind.
But he turned a deaf ear.
He suddenly saw the Silver Queen standing in front of him, looking at him in horror, the hope in his eyes was extinguished a little bit, and finally turned into endless despair.
"Your authority comes from the Truth Society!" Ovena looked at him on the other side, saying every word, firmly.
He stepped forward, and the phantoms of the two of them shattered into fragments behind him.
"Who are you?" Princess Griffin crossed her brows and stood in front of him: "My engagement partner is Brando Cardilloso, not you!"
Brando took a step forward, and the phantom of the princess turned into nothingness.
But he stopped.
He saw Brando, the self who died in Butcher’s old house, looking at him quietly.
"where u from?"
"I… "
Brando's heart trembled slightly.
The greatest secret in that soul finally loosened at this moment.
"Actually, you all know it, right?" The other'him' smiled at him slightly.
"I am a mortal, the son of Darus, the Sword Saint, and my grandfather's expectation of me is to live and not be involved in this whirlpool of right and wrong."
"But after sixty years of that war, who can see the future? Perhaps all of this is already doomed. As a mortal, how can I control my own destiny?"
"I am you, Brando," Brando replied, "We are not different."
"But I'm a mortal, are you?" Brando replied the same: "You understood when Ovena said that to you, right?"
Brando was silent.
Indeed, there was no doubt in his heart.
He has the blood of black iron, but he has the inheritance from the ancestors. In fact, certain facts are already self-evident in silence.
It's just that as a player Sophie, how can he have the blood of the ancestors, in reality, he is just an ordinary person.
"Do you understand?"'Brando' asked again.
He nodded silently.
'Brando' also looked at him silently:
"... So, Brando, answer me... In this world, do mortals have their destiny in control?"
"I don't know," Brando shook his head. "But I believe that maybe one day."
"Maybe one day?"
This question suddenly made Brando's heart firm.
He raised his head, his eyes gleamed with a certain memory, and he replied softly: "...Perhaps I have seen all of this before, seeing a civilization that has experienced ignorance and barbarism, killing and disorder, even today, It is still greedy and indifferent, but I also see many mild and beautiful sides—I at least know that our history has not regressed, even if the process is tortuous and long, but I have reason to believe in tomorrow..."
"What you saw, I never knew, Brando..." The other'he' shook his head: "So this is our biggest difference. I ask you, Brando, you will decide for us. Is the future of mortals?"
Brando looked at him.
But did not answer.
He took a step forward, and his phantom returned to nothingness, like a rippling water.
"You are one of us, Brando." A gentle voice rang.
Brando raised his head in amazement and looked at the figure that appeared in front of him. The other party did not turn his head back, standing with his back facing him, a green and dreamy cloak hanging from his back and quietly falling to the ground.
It wasn't until this time that Brando discovered that the surrounding snowfields had disappeared, and the two seemed to be in a void of space.
Stars flickered all around.
Brando opened his mouth slightly in surprise, he didn't even know how the other party got to his side, and there was a faint feeling in his heart that the other party didn't seem to be a phantom, but actually existed here.
This illusion was so strong that it shocked him so much that he couldn't say a word.
Bai couldn't make a sound either.
The Azure knight slowly turned around, and Brando realized that the description of the former in various legends and myths was not fictional, but he couldn't see the other side's face.
The Azure knight held up a sword in his hand and said to him: "The people under your protection rely on you. This is a responsibility for you. And when you make this determination, it changes. The fate of others, although you do not answer this question, you understand it in your heart."
"I just do what I want to do," Brando retorted, "I didn't hurt anyone."
"In fact, not only did you not hurt them, you also protected them, just like Martha and the gods, but sometimes such kindness is unintentionally produced."
"This is not kindness, but mutual trust," Brando became firm in his heart, and he shook his head: "Even without me, people will fight for themselves and protect their homes and relatives. No one has Qualifications determine the fate of others."
"And what you are doing—"
"I'm just one of them, there is no difference, sir. Maybe my strength is stronger. I don't mind if someone supports me and moves forward with me. If one day I lose my strength, I will do the same. Because civilization and order are not a single individual in the first place. Our kingdom and society are established through mutual connections, and no one can be alone."
The Azure knight nodded, he took up the sword in his hand, "Then are you ready to take my sword?"
Bai became excited, and she looked at Brando with some disbelief—in fact, as a candidate, Brando didn’t seem surprising to her. Before the battle of the saints, although every candidate There are fewer eras than the previous era, but there are still some.
In fact, Brando is not the best candidate she has ever seen, and even seems a little clumsy. If it weren't for her reminder and rescue, the other party might have died in the glacier long ago. Before that, she could I have never heard of the candidate who needs help from others to pass the trial.
But the same—
She had never heard of anyone who could meet the Azure Knight's will in the trial. Almost irresistible, the words of the legendary black prophecy appeared in her heart, especially when the Azure Knight picked up the sword in front of her.
Because only she understood what the sword symbolized.
She finally couldn't help but yelled in Brando's mind: "Quickly, promise him Brando! That's the sword of amber! You may be the one Tata and the fire goblin said, quickly pick it up, Maybe you can really bring a glimmer of hope to this world!"
But Brando didn't stretch out his hand, he just stood there quietly.
"You're crazy!" Bai became a little angry: "If you don't understand what you are doing, how can you fail the hope of those who believe in you?"
"I'm not crazy," Brando shook his head, "Ms. Tiamas, do you think our world can really be saved with a sword?"
