The emblem of natural affinity, or the seal of the earth.
Brando's knowledge of it is limited to the fact that it is a token of Ellanta. This emblem was presented by the sage to several people close to her-including several archdruids in the Ring of the World -In addition, all the rumors about it in the world of Vaughan are more like illusory legends. Some people say that it is a sacred object similar to the Ring of the Queen of the Wind, while others say that it is just a sign with a special meaning and only has the function of reputation and status.
But now it seems that the power of this brooch-like emblem is absolutely beyond any rumors about it.
Just in front of Brando, I saw a green light spreading out from the elf, forming a light mask, pushing away the silver light in Tiamat’s grip from the inside to the outside. Only now did he see the silver light clearly. It is a chain of light with no physical substance, but it is now being blocked by the outside of the mask under the confrontation of the natural affinity emblem. This scene is already very clear, the natural affinity emblem is protecting the elf.
In the world of Warend, there are many trigger-type protective items, and one of them is very high-level, and it can even actively'resurrect','teleport' or temporarily shelter the protector in the half of other dimensions. In the face, the trigger-type protective props that he saw that automatically generated protective shields were actually very low-level.
But the problem is that what this light shield blocks is a real artifact, even an ancient thing recorded in the myths and legends of the Cruz people-the grip of Tiamat-it is outside the light curtain produced by the sign of natural affinity The same is not allowed.
In fact, the power displayed by the natural affinity emblem is far from being as simple as it seems.
While the green halo spread out, Brando also vaguely felt the vibration produced by another line of law. This vibration was so familiar to him, because it should be a law of a certain kind of space. The shock was very cryptic. When he was still doubting whether he had perceived something wrong, Gwendolyn, the dragon queen on the opposite side, felt even more obvious. Her rapidly changing face quickly answered Brando's thoughts. problem.
"Why is this thing here!" The Dragon Empress exclaimed in shock.
Then in Brando’s surprised gaze, the dragon queen suddenly withdrew the offensive of Tiamat’s Grip. She clearly looked up with some lingering fears—and at the same moment, an inexplicable force was in force. The sky above the hive spreads, calm and steady, but with inviolable majesty. It is like a pair of calm and simple eyes, watching everything happening in the dark underground from a high level. Under these eyes, there is no life. Resist the heart.
Whether it's Brando, who can face Malthus and Gwendolyn without changing his face, or the queen dragon herself—
Brando understood in an instant who this gaze came from.
I am afraid there is only one person in this world, it is possible to make Dragon Queen Gwendolyn show that look with just one look.
Dragon Queen Gwendolyn frowned, showing an expression of annoyance and regret. She gave the elf a hateful look, then looked at Brando. But his lips moved, and he didn't even have the courage to utter a cruel word. He turned around and shot into the depths of the cave. When Brando and Qiara reacted, the dragon queen was in the darkness. Only a back figure remained, and she disappeared without a trace in just a moment.
The darkness in the cave was a little quiet for a while.
The coercion of the dragon clan, the terrifying deterrence brought by the artifact, and the sense of oppression that was approaching death—these senses that existed in real moments before seemed like an illusion at this moment, and suddenly vanished.
Brando vaguely understood why Gwendolyn would leave suddenly. The nature she was afraid of was not just a natural affinity emblem on the body of the elf, but the natural affinity emblem spread to an unknown space afterwards. The message, if he guessed correctly, the final destination of the message is in the World Tree Hall in the Ring of the World—that is, the sage Ellanta has never left a residence since the Great Holy War.
It was self-evident who belonged to the terrible breath that appeared for a moment.
Gwendolyn’s sudden retreat did not mean she was timid. On the contrary, in Brando’s opinion, this choice was very wise and reasonable. She obviously recognized the natural affinity emblem on the elf, and she knew clearly. The role of this emblem, so there will be such a big reaction.
Brando vaguely guessed the origin of this emblem.
It should indeed be a token of Ellanta.
But it's not.
Because those are the leaves of the tree of the world.
The emblem of natural affinity is actually the leaves of the world tree—the leaves of the legendary world tree have a permanent connection with its trunk, no matter where they are scattered in the world, but the fallen leaves return to their roots and where the leaves come from, they will eventually return to Where-Brando knows that there is a saying in the game, in which players are keen to find ways to improve the relationship with the legendary NPCs in those games, because most of the tasks related to these NPCs are hidden Advanced and even epic missions.
But among all the NPCs, the most difficult to approach and figure out is undoubtedly the sage Ellanta.
The reputation of Ellanta, needless to say, the entire Vaughan, all the players, no one will not know, if there is a human in this world-whether it is the silver people or the dark iron race-if this person Can be called the apex of the world, then she must be Ellanta.
Whether in the early or late game, there are countless people looking for how to approach this sage.
But without exception, they all failed.
In fact, since the Great Holy War, the sage Ellanta lived in the center of the world ring-the world tree courtyard, and never stepped out of it again, except for the sage's stars in the night sky that proved her Apart from being still alive, no one has seen this sage sir for a thousand years.
But the wild elves cannot and will not put the sage under house arrest, so the only credible reason is that the sage himself has closed himself up.
But is she really indifferent to the outside world
Players guess that this may not be the case, otherwise, in the fourth chapter of the fight against the wolf Esis, the druids of the world ring will not be so appropriate, although in the end the sage still did not show up, but all Everyone was speculating whether this sage was secretly involved in that tragic war.
Now it seems.
The answer is yes.
The reason is actually on the leaves of these world trees.
These world leaves are the eyes of the sage Ellanta. The number of them in the world may not be much, but each piece is preserved by the closest person around Ellanta. The sage lord She shelters these people, and on the other hand, observes the world through these people. Although he didn't understand why the other party did this, Brando was almost certain who the elf in front of him was.
She naturally cannot be a druid.
So it must be inseparable from the royal family of wild elves.
While he was thinking about this question, it happened that Saint Osor's voice rang in his mind after the wind: "Brando."
"Master Fenghou?" Brando was startled slightly, and then he understood why the Master Fenghou, who had always been fascinating for a while, suddenly appeared. It was obvious that she also felt the familiar breath. For them, the sage is just an unattainable existence, and for this noble soul stored in the ring of the wind, that was once her closest comrade-in-arms, she Old friends in the past.
"Do you feel it, Master Fenghou?" Brando asked.
"You guessed it right, it was indeed her," St. Ossor replied. "She also noticed my existence."
Brando was startled slightly, he hadn't thought about it, but since Ellanta had noticed the presence of the wind, he should obviously have noticed him.
When noticed by a sage, he was really hard to say whether it was good or bad for a while.
After all, in the last history, no player has ever been able to do such a thing-such an opportunity is a dream for players, but they would never think that the opportunity was actually in the ring of the wind and the emblem of affinity with nature. On the other hand, and the existence of either of the two alone probably won’t trigger this plot. This is a rare opportunity, but it may not be a good thing for Brando at this moment. It has something to do with the more advanced existence. In addition to benefits, there are often greater troubles hidden behind it.
According to the words in the game, this task may be difficult.
But Brando didn't consider this matter for the time being, anyway, Ellanta couldn't come to him for a while, but the other party did help him scare Gwendolyn away, at least relieved his urgent need. What's more, Master Fenghou came to him on the initiative, and I am afraid he was also here to give him advice-you know, even when facing the Dragon Queen, this sage is too lazy to pay attention to him, according to her theory-she is not Brando's nanny is the latter's teacher, so she can teach Brando's knowledge, but she will never protect him at this time.
Although Brando sometimes finds this kind of statement a bit annoying, anyone would hope that there will be a sage who can stand for him at any time-whether it is from her rich experience or practical ability, he also understands the other party after all. Some painstaking effort.
Of course, the Elf Yu Jie didn't always keep silent, watching Brando's good show, and when the right time came, she would always mention this "proud student" in her.
"She did notice you, but it was not because of my existence. The secret of the Ring of the Wind Queen, Ellanta also knew it back then. This is not even a secret to her—and she noticed you. The reason, I am afraid I don't need to say more." Saint Ossore said to Brando as expected.
"What's the reason?" Brando opened his mouth and suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question, but he still couldn't help frowning: "... She can see it?"
"More or less, he and us are old rivals after all, and we are all very sensitive to his inheritance." Saint Ossor replied.
Brando’s face changed, although St. Osor’s attitude towards Odin gave him some different guesses about the relationship between these sages and the Dark Dragon—in the general historical definition, the four sages The relationship with the Dragon of Darkness is naturally unshakable, but the facts have proved that it may not be so unbearable. Think about it, after all, the four sages are students of Tumen, and based on the relationship between Tumen and the Dark Dragon, their relationship with the Dark Dragon may not be as bad as the official mouth.
It now appears that most of the disputes between the two sides are due to morality, rather than personal aversion. However, the four sages are four different individuals after all. St. Osor’s views cannot represent the others. According to legend, Gilt is the most radical of the four. Ellanta has the broadest personality, and the problem is a thousand years. After that, who can be sure. If anyone can say accurately, it is estimated that there is only this old comrade-in-arms of the sage.
Therefore, Brando humbly asked the elf royal sister-his teacher for advice: "What does Ellanta-sama think she will never come and kill your only student, right?"
Saint Ossor smiled slightly, thinking that Brando’s statement is a bit interesting: "That's not enough, but if it’s a while earlier, I’m afraid it’s hard to say. The deaths of the few of us would have dealt a big blow to Ellanta’s sister. , I’m afraid she won’t let you off at that time. But now, after a thousand years, our eyes are already different from when we were young. She didn’t say much to me just now, for you and me.’ The only student, she naturally wouldn't be too much."
Brando breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied, "But there must be something else, right?"
Of course he knew that even if Master Fenghou was in a particularly good mood today, he would not come to him and talk so much nonsense for no reason.
Saint Osor nodded.
"She saw Gwendolyn."
"The dragon?" Brando was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't you see it too?"
"I'm not the same as her," St. Osor replied grimly, "Sister Ellanta was able to live until now, but it was actually agreed by the four of us. What her mission is, I'm afraid I don't need to say more about it. , You should be able to guess. She has monitored the world for a thousand years, and she knows better than me about what has happened in this world over the past thousand years. The appearance of Gwendolyn and Qiao Gentigang, in my It seems strange at best, but it seems to her to be different."
"Where is the difference?" Brando was a little curious. This was something he had always wanted to know, but he didn't expect to get an answer from the sage.
Elf Yu Jie shook her head.
"I can't say that, after all, we don't have direct communication, but I can feel some of her thoughts. This matter is probably related to you, Brando."
"It's related to me." Brando frowned slightly. The first thing he thought of was his grandfather. At present, it seems that Gwendolyn and their only connection with them is this mysterious grandfather. In addition to this is the jihad. The three originally independent countries of Eruin, Georgentican and Cruz are completely entangled with each other because of this jihad, but the only connection between Eruin and this jihad has fallen. For him, this can also be regarded as a place related to him.
What else is there
Akane
Or Her Majesty herself
Brando shook his head, there were too many clues, and he wanted to do another thing. Before, Qiara told him that Gwendolyn was on the side of the Silver Queen. The situation was too critical before, and he still It’s too late to study, but now that I think about it, the problem is too big. On the one hand, it represents Qiao Genjiang, on the other hand, it is the supreme one of the empire. That Rogers has been looking for the judgement that the Queen turned out to be Her Majesty
This joke is a bit too big.
"What should I do?" Brando couldn't figure it out, and simply didn't want to, and asked directly—this is a good habit of him, which is simply laziness. After Feng, he glared at her, a'good' student: "This is what Elranta hopes you can help. The situation in the Cruz Empire is very unusual. It seems to have exceeded her expectations-or the appearance of Gwendolyn and the others has caused her to be alert."
Brando suddenly thought of something. He rarely interrupted Fenghou and said, "Sir Sage also wants me to inform the Dragon Race, right?"
"Huh, how did you guess it."
"Damn," Brando replied grimly: "It's still a guess. She must know the agreement between the Dragon Race and the Cruz Empire. This agreement is now hidden from me. Martha is on it."
Fenghou smiled slightly: "One more thing is that little girl."
Hearing these words, Brando was slightly stunned. In fact, he didn't need the Elf Yujie to remind him. He also remembered the most important problem at the moment.
Brando turned his gaze to the little elf who stood restlessly beside Qiara. The latter was like a kid who had done something wrong at the moment. He lowered his head and stirred the corners of his clothes with his hands. He didn't even dare to look at them. At a glance. Brando couldn't help being angry and funny for a while when he saw her like this. It was obvious that he was pretending to be like this. Before, it was obvious that the bear was like that, and he immediately turned into a lady lady.
Who believes this
He couldn't help but laugh and cry and asked, "This little lady, it's all here, so I have to introduce myself."
"I, I'm an elf."
The elf replied with a trembling, weak voice.
But unfortunately, this answer obviously does not satisfy Brando.
