The Amber Sword

Chapter 34: Before the attack

Brando glanced at the steep mountain wall as sharp as a knife in the distance, and turned his head to let Roman put on the ring of spiderwebs. He found that the merchant lady's perception was surprisingly sensitive, and this ring just can further strengthen her ability.

Roman has been coveting this beautiful black and white patterned ring for a long time. He is naturally full of joy at the moment, but he still asks curiously: "Is this also a magic ring, Brando?"

"Well, it can make you hear more clearly. You pay attention to the underground, and remind Freya if there is any movement. I will be back soon." Brando knew that there was one other side of the valley besides the golden magic tree. Stone Trypanosoma, that thing also came from the elemental plane of the earth, it was a rare elite in the game, and once suddenly appeared and he was almost messed up.

"Are there any other enemies?" the two girls said together.

"It may be, but you should be prepared, isn't it?" Brando was too embarrassed to pretend to be a prophet. The key is that it is difficult to explain later, so he can only answer vaguely.

Freya nodded in understanding, holding the sheathed sword in both hands and protecting him in front of Roman, and said: "I will protect Roman, please go back quickly."

"En?" Brando gave her a surprised look. When did this girl cooperate so much, it made him feel a little at a loss, but it didn’t look like there was any conspiracy—he hesitated, put down the backpack, turned out a roll of rope and hook from it, and looked again. After a glance at the two girls, they crawled out carefully.

"Freya, is it okay for Brando to go out alone?" Roman asked in a low voice.

"Brando has his own plan, we can't help much, only let him not worry about this side."

"Freya?"

Freya shook the long ponytail behind her head, and a serious look appeared in her bright eyes. She didn't admit defeat, but she could only do so much with her own strength. The future Valkyrie thought seriously that her strength might not be enough. To become the captain, she must demand herself more severely.

She exhaled, held the sword close to her chest, and made up her mind.

On the other side, Brando was walking along the steep mountain wall with a rope on his back. He should be several tens of meters away from the gap in the rock wall in his impression. He couldn't help taking a breath and looked behind him. Fortunately, the Golden Demon Tree and its demon servants and heirs all relied on sound and magic fluctuations instead of sight to find the target, otherwise his position would be very conspicuous.

He grabbed a protruding rock, and the sand fell along the gap between the stones, but the sound was nothing. He was only worried about making a big move, so he tried his best to lighten up his movements.

It's less than thirty meters, it's coming soon.

No soul crystal was dropped along the way, but Brando knew he had one last chance. There is a treasure in the gap in front—no, it is not correct to say that there are some treasures. Although the player calls all hidden places that provide items and resource rewards as treasures, he knows that the treasures there are actually some relics.

According to the plot in the game, it was about ten years ago that a young adventurous noble named Borg Nasson came to this canyon. He and his companions got separated in the attack of the Demon Tree, and they were lucky. Escaped and hid here, but in the end it was hard to escape and died of severe injuries.

He left the belongings and tokens he carried with him, and with the tokens he could go to Braggs to complete a mission. Although the reward was meager, it was at least better than nothing for Brando at that time.

But the belongings left by the little nobleman are very interesting, because they are random, and everything can be found out with luck. Brando's best character was a rough amber. Of course, he didn't expect this thing this time, as long as the soul crystal could be opened, it would be good, because in his memory, the chance of soul crystal being released here was quite high.

He quickly crawled into the gap, which is actually very shallow, but it is hard to find from the outside. As soon as he touched it in, he saw the bones of the hapless nobleman leaning to one side. Surprisingly, every detail was the same as in the game, which almost gave him the illusion that he was still in the past world.

But Brando calmed down quickly, and he carefully walked around the skeleton and his eyes fell on a small pocket next to him. But he was taken aback for a moment, because he saw a piece of dusty, dry and crunchy parchment gently placed on the cloth bag.

There is no such thing in the game.

He picked up the parchment gently and found that it was actually a suicide note with only a few paragraphs written on it:

'Martha is here, I may die soon. If I pass away and someone is lucky enough to see this page of suicide note, I would like to legally transfer all my belongings to this person. In addition, I have a secret ancestral property. I would like to divide this wealth into three, one for this person, one for my wife, Saidi, and one for my daughter (the latter The words are ambiguous)...

If you see this suicide note who is interested in this wealth, please forward this suicide note and my tokens to my wife, and tell her'Date at the Baden Ball', she will understand what I want to express.

Finally, I am sorry to Saidi, and may Master Martha punish me—

Brando couldn't help being taken aback when he finished reading. He became more and more sure that he had never seen this thing before. The previous quest line was just to remove the seal from the nobleman's finger bones and hand it to the Citizens Registry of Braggs to receive a bonus. The task line is now over, and there is no follow-up.

But what is the reason? Is it because it is different from the game? Brando shook his head, he instinctively didn't want to believe this judgment, at least everything he found before was completely consistent, didn't it? There is no reason to make an exception here. So what is the reason

He thought for a while, and suddenly thought that the first person discovered had such a task? There are many unique missions and first missions in Amber, but this is also the case in the dungeon? No one has ever mentioned this.

He hesitated for a long time, only to carefully fold the suicide note and the signet ring together, and then put them next to him. He felt that this task seemed familiar, maybe someone did it back then-but unfortunately the section on the other's daughter's name and home address in the suicide note became vague, otherwise the task would be simple and straightforward.

But Brando doesn't care about this. The more troublesome the task, the richer the reward. The big deal is to start with the citizen registry of Braggs. At least he knows two clues—the name of the nobleman and the name of his wife. And that's all in the future, and now he has to face his own problems.

Collected the suicide note, and then he began to examine his spoils. There are two rubies in the cloth bag, and some coins are worth about thirty silver coins, which is a lot of money. There is also a pipe, a dark gray stone, and a glass bead. Brando poured out these things, turned over it carefully, and was disappointed to find that there was no soul crystal, which made him sigh.

If it is in the game, these gains are already quite good, but now what he needs is not materials or money, but items that can immediately increase his strength. But disappointed to disappoint, Brando still swept all these things into his pockets. He didn't have time to check that they were useful. Those were just decorations and sundries. In short, let's get down to safety.

After cleaning the trophies, Brando took another look at the skeleton and then went back the same way. Everything went well. When he returned to the crack in the rock where Roman and Freya were, he obviously saw the two girls breathe a sigh of relief. .

"Brando, you are finally back. You are not here. Freya and I are nervous to death, and there is no sound around, quietly." Roman patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't get involved with me—" Freya blushed.

"I'm going to check the surroundings. There is only a patrol team outside. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible."

"Are we going out?"

"We don't need to go out and wait until we leave from the exit on the other side of the mountain trail later. That way, fighting can be avoided, but time may be tight." Brando replied.

"How tight is it?" Freya asked.

"It's about two hours late."

The girl was stunned: "How far is it from here to Ridenburg?" She was the furthest away from home when she was a child, and that was about Wibbing. Although Ridenburg was often mentioned by the general population, it was only one. It’s just an impression.

"Let's put it this way, if we are two hours late, we will have to race against Madara's undead army." Brando looked at Roman: "We may arrive at Ridenburg first, but not the rest of the time. too much."

"Will we go out and kill that tree faster?" she asked.

"There is a secret road behind that, which was previously excavated by merchants to avoid the switch card. I have read it in the municipal literature of Braggs. When I was in Braggs militia before—"our protagonist was not enthusiastic. Jumped to the ground and lied. However, he didn't lie to Freya about the secret path, it's just that he knew it in the game.

Freya glanced at him suspiciously.

"Is that tree dangerous?" She pointed out.

"Very dangerous, we have half the chance to fail." Brando replied solemnly. Although he wanted to gamble to kill the Golden Devil Tree-but he also told himself that he must truthfully tell Freya how much risk they need to take, because He must be responsible for the lives of three people.

In a team, everyone has the right to make choices for their lives. This is the basic rule of the Amber Sword. No one can force anyone.

Freya was silent.

"Roman, how about you?" she asked.

Roman shook his head: "I like taking risks. My life is to do meaningful things."

Freya then retracted her gaze, and she nodded: "I understand, Brando, please take us to defeat it. If we fail, I won't regret it."

Brando smiled, he did not expect Freya's reaction to be so big: "It's not that serious, I will tell you how to deal with it. But let's solve the patrol team, the six demon tree people, you are already very I'm familiar with them, but this time we will end the battle in an instant."

Then he led the two to the edge of the stone crack, and looking out, he could clearly see the children of the golden magic tree team. Brando gestured a range: "We lurked from here, watched my gestures launch a surprise attack, and tried to be as slow as possible before starting the battle, and we must not let them discover our voices."

"We have at least half an hour, so don't worry."

"Freya."

"exist."

"Roman and I attacked from the right. You hid under the rock on the left. When we launched the attack, you attacked the last two-do you remember their weaknesses?" Brando made Romain and himself actually It was to protect her and to relieve Freya's pressure. After all, the merchant lady had no fighting power.

Freya nodded. The weakness of the Demon Tree lies in the limbs, because their sensory organs are all on the limbs, and they are completely safe if they lose their limbs. However, she became a little nervous. Before they dealt with the Demon Tree people through some unexpected strategies, such as falling rock traps. arrive.

Can you do it yourself? Freya is not sure.

Brando glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. Every novice has this kind of problem. Although Freya should be regarded as an'NPC', I think it should be no exception. He thought for a moment, and encouraged: "Don't worry too much, your back wind armor is very restrained against them, you should let go of your hands and feet to attack—"

Freya nodded.
