When recovering from the drowsy state, Freya blinked with some effort. In her still somewhat blurred vision, the first thing she saw was a blood-red sky. The field of vision gradually enlarged, and there were smoke pillars that soared up into the sky hung on the border of the sky curtain, and the crystal clusters passed overhead, occasionally one or two firelights lit up the deep eastern sky.
The brilliance of stars has appeared in the sky, and the stars are shining on the lavender sky of the east.
Occasionally, a bright flash of light will explode in the sky, or a battleship is opening fire, or it is falling. Then she could see a little closer. Ms. Yinlong looked at her eyes with some concern. The latter's left eye was closed tightly, and silver blood kept flowing from it.
Freya was in a daze for a moment before finally remembering what had happened before. She asked hoarsely, "Ms. Misril, your eyes?"
Misril shook her head to indicate that she was not in the way.
"I'm sorry..." Freya said softly.
"It's none of your business," Misril replied. "You have acted well enough."
"Have we succeeded?"
Misril nodded seriously.
Freya felt herself dizzy happily, she stared at the golden clouds in a daze, the light of the setting sun seemed to make the entire sky burn. After a while, she regained her strength and asked softly: "Did we win?"
"We won a part." Misril replied.
"Part of?"
Ms. Yinlong stepped away silently, allowing Freya to see the sky on the other side. Above the golden clouds, there was a light cloud in the center of the battlefield, and the huge portal had long since disappeared. Freya's gaze remained motionless, and Xue Bai gradually climbed onto her cheek.
In her brown eyes, a golden flame was reflected at some point.
It was a bright golden thread, which lay quietly on the sky, with endless flames gushing out of it, and it was slowly opening. Freya finally saw what it was. It was an eye that was opening-golden red eyes, vertical pupils, above the sky, overlooking the earth.
The flame-like clouds were hanging low, and countless meteors were slowly descending from the clouds and falling to the ground.
That is a dragon that traverses the world.
That is, dusk.
Freya opened her mouth slightly and said hoarsely: "It, wake up..."
"Yes, it's awake," Ms. Yinlong also stared in that direction, with a layer of fire reflected in her silver eyes, and replied softly: "After an era, the nightmare of our world has once again come to this land. Above."
"Is it all over..."
"No, we still have hope."
"hope?"
Ms. Yinlong shook Freya's hand and replied: "Did you forget, Freya, our battle is over, but another battle has just begun."
The Valkyrie suddenly fell silent.
She quietly listened to the sound of her heartbeat, pounding, calm and powerful.
That was his war—
…
This is an ancient and verdant dream. When Brando stopped and looked at the crystal forest in front of him, such a thought arose in his heart. The clusters of crystals, exuding emerald green light, are shining with each other, and the holy ancient trees surround this peaceful holy place.
He raised his head, and the countless trees in the world above his head—roots rose from the darkness and mist, intertwined with each other, gathered here, and formed the base of a giant tree.
The top of the emerald, countless times ago, people used to describe the word for this place-it is the pinnacle of the lower realm, connected with the country of mist, the country of death and the river of Jiao, and in the previous life, the players are from Jiao Found the entrance to this place in the river of heat.
And here, it is the nest of the strongest man in the world, the green dragon.
Although named Cui Cui, Nieder Hogg is a genuine black dragon, and it is named here because of its jade-like holy blood. Brando didn't realize until this moment that it was not because Niederhogg was special, but because it was originally a bronze clan.
Because that blood is the blood of bronze.
He also understands why Nidhogg has to hide here endlessly gnawing at the foundation of the World Tree-the ambiguous background story in "Amber Sword" has finally turned into here for thousands of years. Made a clear answer.
Because the purpose of the green dragon here is the ultimate throne.
The eternal time did not dissolve the hatred of the gods in its heart. It wanted to avenge everything that Martha had created and completely destroyed the world that she personally guarded. Brando just dreamed and didn't expect that the undefeated world BOSS in "Amber Sword", after the end of everything, in this world, his goal returned to the original point.
He still came here.
He looked at this place, as if there was a strange feeling in his heart, a connection from another world, and the souls of countless people were entangled with him.
But Brando didn't know whether he really wanted to face the eternal dragon.
Everyone was cautiously advancing in the crystal woodland, and everyone cautiously did not speak, after all, the owner here is a mythical existence. Its subordinates, Garm, the vicious dog, are all prestigious existences in the battle of Gods, not to mention the owner himself.
Of course, no one would expect this host to be warm and hospitable—
Quietly in the woods, Tia and Hippamira turned their heads to look at the reflection on the crystal bark, and they could actually reflect their faces. It's just that on the divided mirror, the reflections are larger or smaller, and some are distorted and exaggerated. Tia was taken aback, and the lady priest showed an interesting look on her face.
Except for the two of them still paying attention to these details, the others' expressions are more or less severe.
"I finally understand," Charles finally couldn't help but said, and he whispered to Mordefense, "Why is there a Bronze Clan here? It turns out that their boss is here."
Mordefense nodded and agreed.
Elaine, the deer banshee, was walking at the forefront of the team. She was lonely in the dark for thousands of years, and she was most suitable for adapting to the loneliness here, not to mention the kindness of Crystal Jungle to her at home.
She looked around and said, "It doesn't look like an outsider has broken in here."
"You mean we're already in front of dusk?" Aloz asked.
"It's hard to say," Elaine replied, "The road to the top of the emerald is not only a jump in the kingdom of death. I remember the legend that Niederhogg himself arrived here from the snow and ice world of the country of fog. "
"But at least you can't see the corpse of the dusk planted here, right." Charles took the conversation: "And the most important thing is that we are not on the same road with the green dragon, so you may not believe it. Let me breathe a sigh of relief."
Brando looked back at Tia. The little elf girl was still holding the ball of light in her hand, and the light on the ball of light pointed straight forward. Although he has not been to this place himself, he has watched a lot of related videos, and he quickly estimated the direction in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, there were several world tree roots staggered in front, and the gap between the roots formed a huge valley. Players call it the Altar Valley, because there is a cone-shaped altar in the middle of the valley.
Brando had a vague guess when he thought of the altar.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the group of them to walk out of this crystal forest, the vision in front of them suddenly opened up, and a beautiful valley jumped into everyone's vision. Everyone couldn’t help but stop—the valley in the distance was actually a sea of grass, dotted with crystal trees far and near, a waterfall fell from the roots of the world’s trees, and after flowing through the entire valley, it injected a sparkling sky into the horizon. In the lake.
Tia opened her mouth wide when she saw this scene, not just this little girl. In fact, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that in such a lower world, there would be such a beautiful place.
Only Brando had anticipated it, so he saw the tall altar in the valley at a glance.
It was a pyramid-shaped altar standing in the sea of grass. The whole body was made of obsidian-like material, so it was particularly conspicuous in a green field. Brando noticed that on the black body of the altar, the sea was covered with dense crystal grids. He saw many things of this form in the Dead Frost Forest and the Ring of Tradewinds, and he knew at a glance that this thing must be the same as Tiamat's. The network can't get rid of the relationship.
Brando walked forward, but behind him Qian asked worriedly: "Will the green dragon be in this place?"
Brando shook his head, not particularly worried about this. Although the Emerald Summit is Niederhogg’s lair, the green dragon does not always stay in this place. It often gnaws on the foundation of Tiamat’s Law on the top of the world tree. There are often only a few of them in a year. Only then will I return to my lair to rest.
Of course, the explanation in "Amber Sword" is that players can only challenge this eternal dragon for a few times a year-if someone will come to challenge it.
Therefore Brando explained to the mountain girl: "Niederhogg has been fighting with Tiamat's law for a long time, and he has always fought with it until he is completely wounded before returning to the top of the emerald. This kind of battle has lasted for thousands of years. In time, it lasts almost endlessly, so it doesn't take much time to return to the top of the emerald."
"But I don't understand," Qian frowned. "Why does it do that?"
"Naturally because of hatred for the gods," Aloz said, "The Bronze clan hates everything created by the gods, even our world itself."
"Sadly," the little mother dragon continued: "Even though it represents eternity, it is impossible to bite the foundation of Tiamat's law, so for it this battle is destined to continue endlessly."
"It's a sad fate." Charles shrugged.
During the conversation, everyone had reached the edge of the altar.
Brando raised his head and stared at the tall altar. On the ball of light in Tia's hand, the light was almost connected to the altar. "It looks like we are in place," Charles saw the light and said, "What are we going to do next?"
"Who is holding the Lionheart Sword?" Brando asked.
"Here with me." Metisa hurriedly replied. She lowered her head to get the Lionheart Sacred Sword hanging from her waist, but at this moment, the entire valley suddenly shook slightly.
At that moment, everyone subconsciously stopped their movements. Tia was so scared that she ran behind her sister in the first place.
Others raised their weapons one after another, but Brando looked around carefully, only to find that after the sudden shock just now, nothing seemed to be abnormal in the valley.
"The vibration came from above." Elaine raised her head cautiously and took a look, then pointed to the top of her head: "It should not be too close to here."
"It should be the movement made by the green dragon." Brando thought for a moment and replied: "It may be attacking the tree of the world."
Tia couldn't help her tongue when she heard the words. She stuck her tongue out and asked in surprise: "It's not close to us, can it make such a big movement? How big is it?"
"Nature is not small," Brando replied, "After all, it is a perfect existence. It holds the only eternal element in the world of Vaughan. The verdant dragon is defined as existing in countless parallel worlds and parallels at the same time. Time, even if it dies at a certain moment in one place, it is also resurrected because of the existence of another moment in another place."
"My lord, can't we kill it?"
"That's why it is called immortality," Brando nodded and replied: "In another plan of the gods, it was originally the ultimate weapon against the twilight, but the world is unpredictable. Maybe people I didn't expect that what they created with their own hands would be a disaster."
"Fight against me?"
There was a sneer in the valley.
Brando suddenly raised his head, that voice—it was the voice that portrayed the deepest nightmare in his heart countless times when he dreamed back at midnight, and made him wake up from the nightmare time and time again.
That is Roman's voice.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the merchant slowly walked out of the sea of grass. She looked at the others and smiled slightly: "Ned Hogg is only worthy of being a watchdog. Its power is also called Is it eternal? Brando, in front of you, the so-called bronze king is not worth mentioning—"
Brando looked at Roman quietly, at this girl who escaped from Bouche with him and Freya, dreaming of a businessman. The faint smile on her face seemed to be the same, everything from six years ago was like a dream. And he had promised this girl's promise in the past, but it has become the biggest regret in his heart today.
He quietly said: "The Dragon of Twilight, since you are manipulating this body, we as enemies, I hope we can have a minimum of respect."
The smile on Roman's face gradually faded.
She looked at Brando: "If it wasn't for the complete destruction of your world, how can I use it to get here? Everything is just because of that damn woman, if it weren't for her to put Tiamat in chaos, I could easily You are turned into powder."
A voice rang.
"In the final analysis, it's just because you are just a consciousness born in the chaos. At dusk, although you are strong, you still cannot represent the world itself," a figure walked out from behind the mountain girl, it was Ovena, she Looking at the dusk coldly, he said, "If you didn't initiate the battle, how would we have come to this world? But it doesn't matter, the wars of several ages will come to an end at this moment, and that moment is you When it fails."
"Azure," Roman stared at Ovena bitterly: "Our account will be settled sooner or later—"
As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly the entire valley shook violently again.
So that everyone raised their heads subconsciously, because everyone clearly felt that the source of this shock was much closer than the previous one.
The Dragon of Twilight also raised her head and glanced over the dome of the World Tree, and she smiled: "It looks like Niederhogg has noticed your existence."
"Me?" Brando frowned.
"Don't you understand?" The Twilight Dragon smiled strangely: "Niederhogg exists in every time and every space, which is the so-called eternity, but there is a law in this world that can lock every time and Every space is destined to restrain this so-called eternity. Do you think it will not be aware of it?"
Brando suddenly realized.
Isn't his own time and space element the strongest nemesis for the green dragon? But what changed his expression drastically was that the Twilight Dragon said that Nidhogg had already noticed his existence, then isn't it coming to the top of the emerald
It was at this time that the Emerald Summit shook for the third time. The vibration was so violent that Tia hit her sister's body. Others were also more or less unstable and raised their heads subconsciously.
This time, everyone could clearly feel that a behemoth had come to the top.
"It's a great show," the merchant lady held her hands behind her back and looked at each of them with a smile: "But I'm afraid I don't have much time to waste here, Brando, don't you want to see your little lover?"
Brando was taken aback for a moment, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed in his heart.
I saw Roman raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. A person gradually appeared behind her. Isn't that exactly who Antitina is? Everyone saw the lady of the staff look dumbfounded, apparently controlled by spells.
"Miss Antitina?" Medissa couldn't help but yelled.
Brando’s eyes were even more angry. He stretched out his hand, and the holy sword Odyssey appeared in his hand almost instantaneously. When his figure moved, he didn’t even think about it, it was a flashing sword that pierced the dragon at dusk. . But Roman didn't move. The space in front of her was slightly curved, and a giant crystal claw tens of feet high emerged out of thin air, blocking Brando's offensive with a sound.
The merchant lady took out the saber in her hand in time, put the blade on the motionless Anttina's neck, and said leisurely: "Why, worry about your little lover? But forgot that I am the fir. Lead the real mistress, I am your fiancee, dear Brando."
Brando gritted his teeth and looked at her, and took a step back.
