As if it was a messenger, Brando obeyed Nimesis' orders and gave the order to camp in the same place, but he did not bring Shire, Medissa or Hippamilla, but chased Nimies alone. Mesis entered the Forest of Allathir. The two horses crossed the woodland at night and passed through a gentle hillside—this is the Ville hillside to the north of the shallow town familiar to Brando—but soon the woods gradually became sparse and widened. In Brando’s vision, A silver-like path was paved between the woodland. That is actually the reflection of the moon, the silver moon is in the sky, depicting the jagged treetops of cedar, and the dead leaves are piled up on top of each other below.
The female knight Miao Man's back is always in front of Brando, maintaining a steady speed, without speaking, just walking forward silently. But Brando finally couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and he drew close to the distance between the two, "What do you want to do, Ms. Nimes—"
The female knight slowed down and replied without looking back, "Didn't I say that, I know where the Crystal Deer is." Her voice was like a spring in the mountains, gurgling.
This is not the answer Brando wants. The answer he wants is another one: "But how would you know...?"
This place is very close to a valley in his memory called Holy Silver Valley, where there are many moonflowers in full bloom. But more importantly, there is a more beautiful and fascinating creature inhabiting there.
In the folklore of Allath, there is a charming crystal stag living in the forest. Whenever the full moon night, it will walk in the forest and devour the moonlight. Few people have seen it, but any hunter who encounters it by chance will be lucky in the next month.
The legend is only a legend after all. The Crystal Stag is actually just an elemental creature from the Elemental Plane of Water, and a small amount exists in Voend. In Eruin, most of them inhabit the Anrath Forest and Needle Hill areas to the south of the Frost Forest. Their food is pure magic, so when the magic moon is full, these fascinating creatures will seek the direction of magic flow in the forest and migrate.
This is a 55-level elemental creature with a simple'healing' element. It is worth mentioning that they are not as peaceful as in the legends. The Crystal Stag has a very strong concept of territory and tends to actively attack the invaders. And they will also act with the frost demon in the forest, so they are not a suitable prey.
However, there is often only one elemental civilization mission in the area north of Manowell, and that is to obtain the crystallized blood of the Crystal Hart.
The crux of the matter is, how could she know all this.
The female knight turned her head, the milky moonlight outlined the curve of her profile; she looked at him with bright reflections in her eyes, but she was calm: "I also know you want crystalized blood."
Brando's knuckles holding the reins turned white: "Who are you?"
"Equivalent exchange, before answering this question of yours, I want to ask you a question first." Nimesis turned her head and continued to advance slowly on horseback. Her voice was very soft and gentle, as if she was narrating. A trivial matter.
"..." Brando was silent for a moment, his mind was numb, and he tried to sort out a clue from it. But all the questions were concentrated on one point, and he hesitated and said: "... You ask."
"There are some people racing horses. At this time, a rider has surpassed the original second place. May I ask where he is now."
Brando didn't expect Nimesis to ask such an inexplicable question. Without even thinking about it, he blurted out and replied: "Number one?"
Nimesis grinned: "I see, you are Sophie, right?"
Brando froze on his horse like a stone statue. He stared at the female knight, his teeth rattling. The name seemed to be squeezed from deep in his throat: "Bai Jia... Senior Sister?"
Nimesis stopped and glanced at him.
"I'm not her."
"It's impossible!" Brando was a little anxious, he almost recognized the other party-otherwise why would Nimesis not exist in history, why would she look exactly like the senior sister, and why would he know who he is
But why didn't she admit it
"But I know her—" Nimesis replied flatly.
Brando was startled slightly, Nimésis's tone was very quiet, as if to calm his restless heart, he looked at this woman-this familiar figure in confusion: "What is going on?"
"I don't know..." Nimesse sighed faintly: "But I'm glad that I guessed right. If you don't feel dull, I can tell you about myself—"
"Please tell me." Brando tried to suppress his emotions, he felt that he was going crazy.
"I have dreamed since I can remember, some weird, absurd dreams. Sometimes, in dreams, I dream of the overturning of the kingdom and everything falls into flames. Sometimes, I dream of becoming another person— In such a dream, I am like a bystander, but still struggling with an obscure fate, and finally history returns to the same path..." Nimesis slowly talked about her past, her tone changed It's a bit low: "... In that history, I know your senior sister."
Brando seemed to wake up from a dream. The first sentence was: "This is impossible!"
"Of all her team members, only you are the dumbest. In all the quizzes, you are always wrong. But her favorite team member is you, because you are simple, rich and ideal, like a blank piece of paper." Nimesis replied: "I more or less guessed who you are, but until today, I am not sure who you are—Sophie."
Brando held the reins tightly and stared at the woman.
"Since you are not her, why are you telling me this?" His voice was a little bit as if his soul had been taken away.
"Because I am afraid."
"Fear?"
"In my dreams, I have seen many bizarre sights. I don’t know if they are true or false. But until the dream began to prove true, I began to fear that the final outcome would come. I gave myself a name-Nimesis. This word is among the few memory fragments of that dream, and it represents revenge. I hope I can resist my destiny."
"Wait..." Brando seemed to be listening to an unbelievable story. He found that he actually understood the things Nimesis said, and they corresponded exactly to everything that happened in the previous world. But when he just wanted to speak, he was interrupted by the female knight: "Don't interrupt."
The female knight continued: "Because of this desire, I came to the princess. But I found that my thoughts were a bit wishful thinking. I joined the royal party, but just like I saw in my dream. The royal party can't stop it. All this happened, Eruin is like a sinking ship caught in a storm, so everyone on board can only watch it be pulled into the center of the whirlpool..."
Having said that, she stopped: "Do you believe what I said?"
Brando's feelings at the moment are no less than that of the day his Buche crossed, and his mind was the same. He faintly felt that there was a connection between these, but he couldn't grasp the clue at all. Hearing the female knight’s question, he nodded abruptly: "This is an incredible story, but..."
"But you believe it, right, because you have personally experienced a certain part of it." Nimesis asked quietly, and Brando was shocked by this question.
He stared at her.
"Because this has the same opportunity for me," Nimesis did not shy away from Brando's gaze. "Until one day, I found that everything started to deviate from its original path."
"... Since what day." Brando had actually guessed something, but he still asked in a nearly ghostly tone, his voice trembling a little.
"From the day Grudin died."
Brando shivered slightly.
The female knight seemed to have never said so much in her life. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you understand, Mr. Brando. I know that you are the only opportunity to change all of this, and only you can make Eruin not In the end of destruction. Because I understand that you and I have gone through the same history—"
"Although I don't understand your origins, maybe you had the same dream as me, but I at least understand your thoughts." She turned her head and looked at him with bright eyes: "You won't let it go anymore. It happened once, right?"
Brando rode on horseback silently, without answering for a while.
"Why are you telling me this?" After a while, he asked the same question as before.
"Because I want to help you—"
Nimesis replied.
"help me?"
"That dream is both clear and vague. It let me know some trivial things. Although I can't even remember when the war between Eruin and Madara broke out, I can't tell who is the enemy and who is the friend. , There is like a gap between history and me—" She paused slightly: "But, you know, she knows more than you. I can help you, Brando."
"Is it like now?" Brando took a breath. He knew that Nimesis was right. Senior sister knew more than him. Before the year of Lin Mao, he was a complete little rookie. And many of his information about the years before this are from the records on the forum after that.
But before the outbreak of the first Black Rose War, Senior Sister was already a senior regimental leader.
It's just that he didn't expect that even in another world, she would still stand beside him as before.
Brando suddenly felt a bit astringent in the corners of his eyes, and he blinked his eyes: "Can you remember everything, Ms. Nimesse?"
"I can't," the female knight replied calmly, "but I can remember at least part of it."
"That's enough," Brando smiled slightly, his mood calmed down completely. He stopped his horse and stretched out his hand to the other party: "Take Martha as a testimony, happy cooperation."
Nimesis also stopped. This is the general form of player team formation in the game, and she was taken aback for a moment, as if she felt like a world away.
But she just reached out and touched Brando's finger gently: "Happy cooperation, but don't try to take advantage of me—"
Brando: "..."
