The forest is very quiet. Brando rarely hears any sound when he opens the bushy vines and walks through the woods. Sometimes even birds rarely fly over them.
Looking forward from the direction where he is now, behind the layered leaves is the open basin vista. The dense forest is like a dazzling jasper lying among the mountains, and the terrain is gradually low towards the center, forming an inner trap.
Looking further away, the very center of the basin is the magnificent tree. The root system of the tree expands in all directions, forming mountain-like undulations, and the nearest one extends in this direction to a place less than Richu.
Andesa and her accomplices should have already arrived there, he didn't dare to follow too close, after all, Lord Blight is half a druid, and has many advantages in any forest.
He took the two women along a path—in the grass, traces of the path once existed can be seen vaguely, although it has long been lost in time—but the artificially carved slate fragments scattered among the dense forests spoke silently. Everything in the past.
Brando raised his head, and now only the dense aerial roots hanging down from the towering ancient trees and the thick bushes under his feet are left. Gray-green plants cling to the waxy white rocks on both sides of the road, only occasionally passing through those roots. Only in the gaps between the branches can you see traces similar to writing from the flat side of the rock.
However, they have long been eroded to a disastrous level.
If Brando didn't guess wrong, those words should belong to the people of silver. Of course it is not ancient Elf language or wizard language. The ancient people living in Valhalla should have been annihilated in the long river of history. There is no word or phrase that mentions who they are.
However, Brando guessed that this group of silver people may have an inseparable relationship with the children of the forest, and now Eluin has their legacy in the entire southern border.
But for some reason, there is no description of Valhalla's past in the silver elves. In fact, the silver elves and Valhalla almost share the same place of origin; Brando also asked the silver elves little princess, but the answer was not Nothing beyond what he originally knew.
Medissa said that Valhalla should be much older than the silver elves. The three silver elves, the silver elves, the fog elves, and the moon elves, and their common fairy king Alfheim appeared after the split of the world tree. In the age dominated by the dragon of darkness.
Valhalla has been a legend long before the history of the Twilight War. In the current Vaughan, the Dragon of Twilight is already an illusory symbol. Most ordinary people know this great demon, but they also know that it is dead.
The story that happened in that myth—
Only the monks and players in the temple know some of the forces of Chaos, but in comparison they are only dealing with cultists who act in the name of dusk.
Not to mention that the battle between heaven and earth in the sacred covenant, that is, the battle with the dark saints is an unattainable history.
Not to mention those legends that existed at the same time as the Dragon of Twilight, such as Valhalla, such as the azure knight and the Epic of the Blue, have long become the ballads and stories in the bard population.
"If I read correctly, are those words?"
Faina asked in a low voice behind him, since this noble daughter had never dared to go back alone, she simply fell on Brando. She could see it, although Brando didn't treat her like other noble youths, and always had trouble with her, but at least she wouldn't really take her seriously.
"Don't you see it for yourself?" Brando replied grimly.
"But I remember that the last time the Eruin pioneered the wilds was fifty-three years ago. It was Baron Ruman from the Vieiro family. He was also the last pioneering knight of Eruin. The book says that it was before that. To the south of Denel is the real Black Forest, a land of no owner, no civilization has ever owned this place... But if these are really words and prove that there was a civilization here, then the ring of trade winds has declined. Land instead of the natural black forest. Isn't that wrong in the book?"
"Don't look at me like that. My empire chronicle is excellent, and I have been awarded by Master Feng? Hain!" Faced with Brando's gaze, the noble daughter replied uncomfortably.
"Is that the dwarf master who claims to be able to interpret "The Poem of Blue"?" Brando asked.
"It's part of the interpretation. Besides, Master Feng? Although he is a dwarf, he has joined the nationality of the empire." Faina lifted her chin somewhat contentedly, and unconsciously revealed her identity tag.
"But he didn't know that the moral Ruiy lived in the Black Forest five hundred years earlier than the Eruins. What does it mean to make the land of no owner south of Dnell?" Brando sneered.
"Hey! Well, that doesn't count, the druids have no demand for land!"
"Yes, don't the Cruz people dare to use this as an excuse to expel all the druids on their borders? Wouldn't the empire's territory have expanded again? Congratulations!"
"you you-"
Compared with this, what really caused Brando's dissatisfaction was that Faina's chronicle of the empire actually included Eruin's history, which is why this daughter knows Eruin's past so much.
The empires never regarded Eruin as an independent country. In fact, he knew very well that in the view of the Cruz Empire, especially the nobles with imperial political views, Eruin was not as an overseas territory of the empire.
It is this arrogance that makes every Eruin player unbearable.
Of course, Brando wouldn't have trouble with a little girl who didn't understand anything. He was just stepping back on the little tail of the noble daughter who had just raised it, so as not to get overwhelmed. Then the young lord turned his head and looked at the dense green forest.
This path in the forest does not exist independently—
Roads have always been used to connect other parts of the "city" that originally existed in this forest. Although Brando didn't know which area the road led to, they didn't take long to realize this.
After separating the bushes, the road leads to a ruin abandoned in the woods. The tall rock-stacked buildings that first caught their eyes. These buildings are surrounded by a quiet green, standing silently on the open space here. .
But Brando just emerged from a bush when she felt Funiya pull her hand.
He immediately retracted vigilantly, and then asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"There are bad guys." The little girl verbally replied as she looked at him.
"there?"
Fonia pointed outside, Brando followed her hand to look out and found that she was referring to the tallest building in the ruins. Brando looked carefully, and immediately noticed the anomaly.
The bunch of plants on the roof of that building seemed a bit weird.
Brando suddenly took a breath-because he realized that it was not a plant at all, but Andesa. That woman was so well concealed, it was hard for anyone to notice that she was half-druid talent blending into the forest.
It's just a pity that this time her opponent is the daughter of the forest, Fonia, who is favored by the goddess Niya—
But even so, Brando was still in a cold sweat, and now he realized that it was a wise choice not to send Funya back, and the benefit of having the forest goddess's daughter in the forest was too much to help.
"Shh!" Brando immediately gestured to Faina, who was following.
Then he looked out again. This should be a bazaar. Brando recognized this from the circular layout. The tallest building is undoubtedly the temple of the god of trade. In the past, the gods returned This temple must have been quite prosperous in its existence.
And at this moment Andessa was standing on the roof of that temple.
You have to know that as a qualified cultist, you have always had no favor with any gods, and you don't have to have the most basic respect-although the gods of Vaughan have been blessing mankind in the history before the war of the saints.
Faina also saw Andessa, and she was shocked: "Why is she here?" The noble daughter hurriedly looked at Brando and asked with her mouth.
"If you have a bit of IQ, you know she must be looking for us." Brando replied with gestures.
The girl took a breath and complained, "I blame you, so I said we should turn around!"
Brando gave the woman an angry look, thinking that I didn't stop you from leaving. But he didn't bother to pay attention to the fellow who had a relapsed temper, and simply replied with his mouth:
"Sorry, I can't understand such a complicated dumb language."
Faina suddenly stayed.
However, unlike this eldest lady who felt worried and uneasy, Brando felt that this was an opportunity instead. If Andesa was always in front, he really couldn’t find any chance to reach the core area of Valhalla first, since the other side stopped. Come down.
Then it is his chance to compete for the first hand.
Brando raised his head and looked around. He didn't see the woman's companion, but he must be in this market. He looked far away and noticed the exit on the other side of the market. At this moment, he suddenly realized why Andesa chose to stop at this place.
Because he discovered that there was a tall city wall in that place—the city wall was made of rocks of the same quality as these buildings, and it was also covered with vines and roots. Most of it was submerged in the canopy of trees, so it was seen from a distance. Can't notice it at all.
But Brando couldn't help taking a breath after carefully observing the wall.
If he guessed correctly, the tall wall should encircle the World Tree in this direction. Its two ends are connected to the root system of the two mountains of the World Tree, forming a natural arc.形protection ring.
And behind that wall, there are several inner walls. Inside it should be a fan-shaped city. The idea of building a fortress under the world tree based on a huge tree root is extremely ingenious.
If Brando is now the lord at this moment, he must be extremely satisfied, but now he only feels bitter when he sees this scene.
Because the only exit of the wall is at the other end of the market.
If nothing goes wrong, Andesha should be monitoring that direction. Although this woman doesn't understand what this place is doing, she is obviously not too simple to be one of the twelve patriarchs of the tree shepherd.
At least her current judgment is the most accurate, and if it weren't for Funia, he might have been discovered by this woman at this moment.
But history has no ifs. Now that Brando has discovered Andesa first, then he has at least some hope of defeating the other side.
But how can one pass through the bazaar
Brando had a headache.
