The double coercion pressed Brando at the same time, almost making him unable to move, but his mind did not stop, racking his brains to find the possibility of escape.
What they were looking for was indeed the sword of the earth—
He thought to himself, but after all, it was just a damaged weapon, although it was claimed to be the only important symbol of the Earth Temple among the three divine tools—but that was after all something that happened nearly a thousand years ago, in this thousand years , The decline of the Earth Temple was not because of the loss of the three artifacts, but because of the violation of the sacred covenant. In this case, even if the Earth Sword Harangea returned to the Earth Temple, it would not help.
Besides, the dragons do not believe in Gaia. They are citizens of the sky. If these three-headed dragons were expelled into the ground and became believers in the Earth Temple since then, Brando would never believe it. .
But in that case, why would they go here to find the sword of the earth in person, and even leave Qiaogendigang without hesitating to violate the oath of the dragon clan.
Finally, is this sword the reason why the Qiaogendigang people started the war
Brando now wants to determine how important the sword of the earth is to these giant dragons, and whether it can be used to coerce each other. After all, the sword of the earth is still in his dimension hole. If he dies, the dimension Although the hole itself is difficult to annihilate in the passing of magic, the contents inside may not be able to be kept. If one or two of them are thrown away in the vortex of space, if there happens to be the sword of the earth, it must be impossible for the other party. Accepted.
The key question is whether the opponent dare to gamble, if the sword of the earth is not so important to the opponent, then they may not care about this risk.
But Brando thinks this possibility is very small.
"Should I call you Gwendolyn, or Fusia, respectable Dragon Lady?" These thoughts were spinning in his mind, but he didn't show any signs on the surface, and he calmed down without even frowning. Asked.
"You know a lot. I have a relationship with Fuxia, but it's not her." The dragon queen didn't seem to care about this little secret, and squinted her eyes and answered bluntly.
Is it a descendant of Fusia
Brando was startled slightly, thinking that this statement might be more reliable. After all, the evil dragon Fuxia was sealed a thousand years ago, and it is impossible to sneak outside without the dragons noticing it, let alone participating in the sealing. There are also Bujas. These craftsmen and wizards who claim to be non-interfering in mortal affairs can set up various monitoring points throughout the world to observe the world of mortals.
He didn't know why the evil dragon Fuchsia was sealed back then, so he couldn't confirm Gwendolyn's attitude, but it didn't matter to him at all. He considered for a moment before continuing to speak:
"What you are looking for is called Harangoa, or the sword of the earth, according to the terms of mortals and dwarves. It is indeed on me. But the sword of the earth was permanently damaged as early as a thousand years ago, and Although it is known as the symbol of the Earth Temple, it seems that this is not the original meaning of its existence, rather than the meaning that future generations will add to it. It is in this world, like many famous swords that are known as holy swords. I don’t think it’s worth seeing the Queen of Dragon in person..."
"Boy, you are so much nonsense." Modesty interrupted him impatiently, "You are still delaying time, do you think you still have a chance to comeback."
"No, it's just the curiosity of mortals." Brando was taken aback and explained quickly.
"Boring curiosity," Modesty replied.
Brando looked at Gwendolyn. What he cared about was not the answer to the question, but the attitude of the latter. Regardless of whether the latter answered him or not, as long as the other party made a statement, it was enough.
Gwendolyn, as always, did not care about his careful thoughts, as if she had an infinite amount of time, and did not mind Brando's delay for a while, so she replied coldly: "How can the artifact be destroyed so easily? , They are the symbol of Tiamat. Every artifact corresponds to the most basic law in the world. Their appearance symbolizes the turbulence of the world and the change of order. Among these changes, the ultimate change is mortal. destiny."
"Although the sword of the earth is broken, the law it represents still exists. It reappears in the world through your hands, which means that it has a mission that must be completed." The corner of the dragon queen's mouth rose slightly, as if it were a silent sarcasm. : "Unless Tiamat wants to change the world, artifacts will never appear easily. They are the keys to change the future, and you actually think it is broken copper and iron."
Brando's heart jumped.
It's not that he hasn't heard of this statement. Among players in another world, this statement is also very marketable. Because it is very difficult to destroy an artifact in, it is often necessary to meet various conditions to destroy an artifact, and the condition for destroying the sword of the earth is to throw it into the initial lake in the depths of the earth-but It is not an ordinary lake, but a sea of magma in the center of the earth. Only people have ever heard of it, and no one has actually seen it.
Therefore, the sword of the earth is always broken, not destroyed, and then there is a problem with the rescue.
Can the broken sword of the earth bring so-called sacred weapon missions like other sacred tools
According to the game, the artifact task is an advance reward task—the artifact is the final reward of the task, but you can get it first—because of the special nature of the artifact (the secondary artifact does not have this feature), so The tasks that follow are often surprisingly difficult and involve a wide range of issues, and often even permanently change the history of a region or even a country. Just like the twenty-four rings of the queen of the wind, or the collection of the fragments of the blade of flame, it is a mission that can definitely generate an earthquake in Saint Osor or the power core of the Cruz empire.
But the problem is that the sword of the earth is a broken artifact. Its power is actually only considered to be the upstream level among fantasy-level weapons, and it is not even comparable to most ancient-level equipment—for example, the powerful Tumo. gun.
Therefore, if the sword of the earth also has to bring difficult tasks and challenges to the sword bearer, this design is true, but it is a bit too inhuman.
Brando has rarely thought about the world from the perspective of games in recent times, but when Gwendolyn said this, out of survival instinct, he thought of this possibility for the first time. : Could it be said that all of this is the mission chain of the Earth Sword at the moment? No, it's impossible. He shook his head. The involvement was too broad. Qiao Gendigan invaded Cruz. This kind of historical change can only be the historical advancement brought about by the change of chapters in the game. It is like advancing from the legend of the stag and the empire to The era of war and chaos, and then the first excavation of the war slab, triggered the people of silver to return to the mortal world, and the second era came.
What's happening right now is just like that.
To say that the most likely cause of all this, Brando felt that the first and most important thing was the Azure Spear, not the Earth Sword.
He pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision. He slowly raised his hand and let a black line appear in his palm—at that moment both Gwendolyn and Modesty could see the thing clearly. "Dimensional hole!" Gwendolen obviously did not expect Brando to have this thing. This is not in the game. In the game, the dimension hole and the dimension bag are relatively popular equipment among players, because the former is a game. What the mall sells—game companies can’t make players really drive around the caravan and wander around with big and small bags.
But in fact, in the context of the story, Dimension Cave is still a relatively rare thing. Just think about its original owner, the high-ranking priest of the Temple of Flames, and at the same time a core member of the All Things Return. It goes without saying.
Dimensional Cave is not uncommon for the dragon clan, but what the Dragon Empress did not expect is that a little earl from a border kingdom would have such a thing in his body.
"No wonder it's the case," Modesty screamed: "Yesterday, Malthus and I clearly felt the breath of the Earth Sword, but it disappeared instantly. I want you to be the ghost of this guy!"
Gwendolyn interrupted her and looked at Brando with some surprise: "You felt Modesty and Malthus tracking the Earth Sword. How far were they from you at that time?"
Modesty also reacted: "No, no, he was not too close to us at the time, otherwise Malthus and I would not be lost. Even if he puts the sword of the earth into the dimension hole, we can still follow the earth. The breath before the sword disappeared found him, and he must have been quite a distance from us when he found us."
"It's really interesting," the female black dragon stared at Brando with scorching eyes: "Little bug, it seems that you still have a lot of secrets."
Gwendolyn frowned and asked only one question: "Are you the offspring of that human?"
Brando was startled slightly, and instinctively realized who the other party was asking, he raised his head and looked at the legendary dragon queen in disbelief.
"What!" Modesty was taken aback: "He has something to do with that guy?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about, ma'am." Brando said in a deep voice.
At this time, he realized that he could no longer run away, so he also put down Qiara and the elf in his hand. They didn't know if they were frightened or cold, and the two of them shivered constantly. However, the businessman who jumped off his shoulder looked very energetic. She looked at Gwendolyn with a mixture of fear and caution, and with a curious look, and then at Modes behind her. carry.
Then she quickly discovered that the eyes of the two dragons that had been falling on Brando turned to her.
At this moment, even the heartless merchant lady couldn't help being a little unbearable, and hurriedly hid behind Brando.
Modesty and Gwendolyn glanced at Roman together, and the latter reopened his mouth and said: "You know who I am asking, human beings, your grandfather, you humans call him the Sword Saint Darus, and we Call him the Dragon of Harrasg. If I say this, you should understand."
Although Brando had anticipated it, his heart couldn't help beating fiercely at this moment. The dragon of Harrah's-he vaguely remembered that he heard the name there: "Do you know my grandfather?"
He asked this verbally, but in his heart he had vaguely connected the fragmentary clues from this period of time into a complete line.
Both the Princess and Ms. Veronica mentioned that there was a shadow of dragons behind the changes that occurred in the jihad, and the two dragons in front of them—plus Malthus, are clearly the truth. The reason why they were exiled is self-evident. Although he still doesn't know when they were exiled, he can completely guess that the three-headed dragon was exiled for a short period of time. In history, Qiao roots. The lack of mention of their names in the underground war proves this from the side, and if they were expelled within a hundred years, then the most likely point in time is obviously sixty to forty years ago. period of time.
That happened to be the time period when the jihad took place.
The three of them were witnesses to the incident that year, and they may even be key figures in it. What mistakes did they make and they were expelled
But this time Gwendolyn fell silent and replied only briefly: "It's not familiar, but it's really an acquaintance."
"What happened back then?" Brando asked tentatively.
"It's better not to know some things," Gwendolyn said in a mild tone: "We owe your grandfather a favor. For the sake of this favor, today you hand over the sword of the earth, and we can let you go. Yima—As long as your people leave Cruz immediately, everything that happens here will have nothing to do with you from now on."
She raised her head and looked at Modesty who was directly opposite: "Modesty?"
The female black dragon replied unwillingly: "Well, I will listen to you."
Brando never dreamed that his grandfather was so awesome—even the Dragon Clan owed him a favor! But on the one hand, he felt a little upset. The dragons also owed the Silver Queen a favor, and then they helped the latter ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor—this is not a simple task, because it not only involves the replacement of the throne of such a huge empire as Cruz, but also involves When it comes to the balance between the forces of the mortal world, the Buga will never stand idly by. The People of Silver and the golden race of the year have agreed in the sacred covenant that they will no longer be involved in mortal affairs. To do this, the Dragon needs to persuade Buga at least. People and silver elves, you can imagine how much they paid.
The dragons paid such a high price to pay back the favor of the Silver Queen, and his grandfather was not only criticized and wronged, he was a great sword sage, and he was a miller who was an unknown lifelong, and his grandfather's level In the end, the life span of the character was similar to that of ordinary people. You can imagine how much he paid at the beginning, and the difference in treatment between them is a bit too big.
The most deceptive thing is that the grandson of Brando, the sword-sage Darus, who was supposed to be born in a prominent position, was going to be a militia in a place like Buche where birds don't lay eggs.
This is just kidding.
Of course, Brando's heart is just such a slight exposure, after all, if history really develops like this, he may not be able to come into this world.
What he was really upset about was the attitude of Gwendolyn and Modesty at this moment—
He shook his head slightly: "Ms. Gwendolyn, I don’t expect any favors from you. Although I really don’t have any intentions to wander into the muddy waters of the Cruz Empire, it’s better to listen to my request before you ask me to leave here. ."
"Oh?" Modesty was stunned. She didn't expect that this little bug-like guy would dare to ask them on the other hand, and asked a little amusedly: "What are your conditions, let's listen to it?"
"My request is very simple. I came to the Empire just to bring back one person." Brando replied.
It’s not that Brando can’t turn around and leave. The so-called envoys, both he and the princess know well, but they are selling dog meat. As long as he can bring back Qian, he doesn’t bother to go to Rusita to see the queen. . But as long as Qian stayed in the empire for a day, he would never look back, whether it was a dragon or something else, it didn't make any sense to Brando.
After thinking about it, Gwendolyn understood what he was referring to. The dragon queen seemed to know everything that had happened in the empire during this period of time. She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. It is not important, but the important thing is the Azure Gun. You should know her value to the Cruz people. The Silver Queen is unlikely to let her go. This woman is a dangerous trouble for you. I advise you to leave her Further."
Brando could still maintain his calm, but he couldn't help being angry when he heard these words. Mortals are afraid of dragons, but he is not afraid. He coldly corrected Gwendolyn and said: "She is my friend, and It's not a trouble. The so-called trouble was imposed on her by Cruz's robbers."
"So what?" Gwendolyn looked indifferent: "The empire is stronger than you, and you can only accept this fact in front of them."
Brando took a deep breath: "But the empire is also your enemy, isn't it? The Azure Spear is not important to me. I only want people. You are determined to win the Earth Sword, and I will definitely not let it go. The Azure Spear."
Gwendolyn shook his head without hesitation.
"That's impossible."
"Why?" Brando was a little confused, wondering if these dragons were neurotic, the way they acted can be called incredible. In his view, since everyone’s enemies are the same and they have common interests, not to mention that they owe his grandfather a favor. They are both reasonable and sensible, and they can cooperate. But the other party refused, and refused so much. Definitely.
"Because it's too much trouble," Gwendolyn replied, "We don't lack helpers."
"So this is how you return the favor? It's really unique!" Brando replied coldly.
"Whatever you think," Gwendolyn remained indifferent: "I said, because we are stronger than you, you must accept this fact."
Brando sneered, thinking that when he dared to love these two female lizards, he was begging them: "It seems that you think it is inevitable?"
"Isn't it?" Modes replied sharply, "I can't think of any other tricks you can play."
"That's because your brain is too dull," Brando replied mercilessly: "The sword of the earth is placed in the dimension hole. You think it is inevitable. You can come and kill me and take it away myself. Two ladies might as well give it a try."
Gwendolyn and Modesty were shocked.
