The Amber Sword

Chapter 944: War Slate Dragon Skin (5)

Views:

The gray fragments of the law dissipated like withered petals behind Brando. He glanced at Bai who was unconscious on the ground, and silently retracted the sword of the earth into its sheath. Another battle also came to an end at the same time. Andrrig and Mordfess each held a pitch-black rapier pointing at the position of the burning soul fire in the hollow chest of the Dead Moon Knight, one left and one right. Standing by its side—Although the former is far stronger than either Andriguez and Modefice, it is not the opponent of the two together after all, not to mention there is a Hippamira holding the power of mountains and rivers next to it. .

Brando turned and walked towards the dead moon knight-he knew that Bai would wake up soon, the undead would not really be unconscious, Bai's current state was just a state of suspended animation in which the soul fire was too weak. , This state will not last too long, it will either recover quickly or die completely. He has dealt with the black knight of Madara more than once, and he is well aware of each other's difficulties. The many things she said before are obviously intended to attract his attention, and he will do it. It may not be in ten sentences. Believe it. However, at least it is certain that Bai should be a silver elf and is familiar with Medissa.

Although Medissa mentioned that this woman had used mind-reading on her, mind-reading can only read the superficial thoughts. These deep memories cannot be stolen. That is the domain of the gods.

But as to whether she is the princess of the Silver Elf Empire, it remains to be verified.

After all, this woman is very good at bewitching and shaking people's hearts, letting you fall into anger or confusion before you do it. She especially likes to use spells like mind reading, and her nickname besides the black knight-the "just judge" is also very good. Can illustrate this point. A fair judge is fair and unjust, but she claims to be a judge, torturing people's sins, shaking people's unsteady beliefs, and being good at exploiting the fragility of human nature.

He must get useful things out of the Dead Moon Knight as soon as possible, otherwise he would never want to get the slightest news in front of this woman, unless he is going to torture separately, but there is no such condition and no time here.

Luo Ruisen's undead still stood in the hall, motionless, like a stone statue.

Brando came to the dead moon knight, and soon discovered that the opponent was still an old acquaintance-the decaying knight Crotte, one of the three declining knights, it and its bone knights in the first and second Black Rose wars Zhongdu once invaded Eruin and died under the sword of Freya at the end of the Second Black Rose War. In the middle of the Second Black Rose War, he once did a mission about this guy, but at that time there was a large army around it, so it can only be said that he had a face-to-face encounter from a distance. Crot is a dark noble of the Dead Moon Sea. He was born as a mercenary. Unlike Kabais, he is a relatively good warrior of the undead lord. However, he is not the loyalty of the undead lord holding the mercury rod. At best, he is only Can be regarded as a fencer.

He changed his mind and then he was relieved. Which undead lord is he unfamiliar with Madara

Thinking of this, he glanced back, and he knew all the bones lying on the ground:

Grey Rod Terraza, commander of Lift Greycastle, most of his men are corpse witches, good at blood rain, political stance is on the fence.

Boneeye Karen, the lord of the dry woodland, has an army of pale hunters under his hand, specializing in the tactics of the undead cavalry, the famous trellis cavalry faction.

Buchan, the fencer.

All are on the fence.

Although the decaying knight Crotte had died a long time ago, he was still very afraid of death, or to put it in terms of undead, afraid of'real eternal sleep', in other words, the tone was not very tight. Brando threatened slightly, and it confided the truth. Tiamas-Tiamas Juyue, or Bai Tiamas Juyue, this is the real name of Black Knight and White. This name is actually the same. It sounds like the name of an elf. In the previous life, some players speculated that she might be a wind elf or a wild elf, but she never thought she was a silver elf, because there are so many bad ages—sure enough, they lied, they came here. The purpose was not for the undead of Lorisen—but for the slate of war.

But it is not easy for the undead to enter human territory, let alone in the current situation without alerting the army to pass through several lines of defense. According to Crot, they took a boat out of the port of Everest and landed in Yinsha Bay. , When they got off the boat, humans arranged the itinerary. They arrived in the four-leaf clover field in a carriage, and there were also people on the way to arrange them.

Brando immediately guessed that these people were from the Cruz Empire, and even from Crote’s description, they were from the White Legion, or, one step closer, from a certain high-ranking knights in the White Legion: White The Legion has three directly subordinate knights, the gray-winged knights riding on gray griffins, the white dragon knights and the silver pegasus knights riding the ground dragon, and the people who receive these undead should be the white dragon knights. , Because Crote once saw the emblems under those human cloaks, which was a white dragon head emblem, which was a typical emblem of the White Dragon Knights.

Although the possibility of putting on blame is not ruled out, it is not very likely. After all, the Cruz people don't know that Crot will fall into his hands.

The White Legion is the most steadfast supporter of Constance, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in history are also the most loyal supporters of the Mercury Rod and the backbone of the reformists. In other words, these undead entered the empire to seek war slabs. With the double instruction of Stance and the dark monarch, Brando immediately felt a strong scent of conspiracy permeating it.

He looked at Bai Jia who was listening quietly next to him, and the same look appeared in the eyes of the senior sister.

It’s not surprising that the monarch holding a mercury rod knew the existence of the war slab in advance. He was originally the emperor who was born in a thousand years in the world. The mercury rod in his hand possessed the supreme ability to predict the future. In some future fragments, it may have seen the day when the war slab was born. As for the Silver Queen, as the dark dragon of this era that has received most of Odin’s inheritance, the black prophecy originally mentioned that the dark dragon has the ability to be almost omnipotent. Through some ancient knowledge and inheritance, know about The message of the war slab does not seem surprising.

The strange thing is that these two people have come together now. Throughout history, the opportunity for countries and countries, forces and forces to turn enemies into friends is nothing more than common interests or enemies. To say that Her Majesty’s enemies, in addition to the twilight army and monsters she identified, seem to be also Only oneself can be regarded as the enemy of the other side. But Brando didn't think he was worthy of letting the two empires join forces to deal with him.

Then there is only interest left.

Madara's benefits are predictable. It is natural for them to grab stone slabs from the empire. However, what benefits can the Silver Queen gain from it? Lead the wolf into the room? Just in exchange for Madara's support? It doesn’t seem to be necessary. Let’s not say that Madara herself is still not righteous, and the four temples, except for a small number of people in the Temple of Flame, do not seem to mention what Constance has done. What kind of objection, she doesn't need to find out whether she has anything to do with these bones.

Brando is convinced that if something seems more absurd and illogical on the surface, and it exists in fact, then there must be an unknown truth behind the event.

He suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

In history, the empire has allowed or even encouraged Madara to attack Saint Osor and Eruin. Will this happen again today? Although it was an event that occurred at the end of the First Age, even the Great Demon Tide has advanced so much in this world, and Queen Constance does not play the cards according to common sense. It is impossible for this event to happen or appear in advance without reason.

"What are you looking for for this thing?" Brando asked suddenly, pointing to the war slab suspended at the tip of the pile of rubble.

Sure enough, the undead knight showed a dazed look, and there was nothing to be seen in the beating soul fire in its eye sockets, and Crote obviously didn't know anything about it. This is not beyond Brando’s expectations. The slate of war began to descend on this world only half a month ago, and the fragments of rules only appeared one day ago. These undead didn’t even know what it was, but Perhaps the existence holding the mercury rod once described the appearance of this thing to them, and asked them to take it, and then they came to take it.

Everyone knows the power of the Mercury Rod, so even such a request will not arouse anyone's suspicion. The undead have long been accustomed to their monarchs to be one step ahead.

"Did you think of the war in 422?" Bai Jia suddenly asked in a low voice.

Brando nodded. The heroes saw the same thing. The war of 422 was an event that happened before the Battle of Sifah. In that year, the Empire signed a secret agreement with Madara’s envoys. This agreement is essentially It was an agreement that caused trouble to the east. It was an agreement that the empire would not send additional troops or even withdraw troops in the Sedar region—in fact, it would allow Madara to attack Eruin and Saint Osor. Soon after that, Madara entered its heyday, too. Because of the prelude to the demise of Eru, even the wind elves of St. Osor were greatly injured in the war, so there was the subsequent battle of Alkhash.

Unexpectedly, the history is so similar. Although the emperor of the empire is no longer the taciturn Lenaret, Constance also made a surprisingly unanimous decision. Brando couldn't help but think that this was really a pair at this moment. Mother and child.

But Brando still didn't understand why Constance would let the undead go deep into the Metz area to grab the slabs. What was the meaning of her doing this? The territory of the empire is so vast. There are rule fragments and war slabs on this land. Why is it the Port of Fattan? Was it the request of the existence holding the mercury rod, or was it the Queen's own idea? Could it be that the woman could foresee that he could come to this place? This sounds too creepy.

A somewhat weak voice interrupted his thoughts: "Remember that I once said a word to you, human lord."

Brando looked back abruptly and found that Bai had woke up, earlier than he thought. The metal mask on the black knight’s face had already been shattered by the impact, revealing her beautiful half of her face. The silver hair proved her pure silver elf lineage, but the eyes were no longer like Metissa. Those beautiful silver jewel eyes were replaced by a pair of eyes beating with golden flames.

But these eyes have lost the vivid look that was used to deceive him, and they have changed back to an indifferent and ruthless look. Her voice no longer fluctuates, full of hollow metal echoes, and can't even tell that it is a woman. sound.

In fact, this is the white that Brando is familiar with. The origin of Tiamas Qiuyue is a mystery in Madara. She appeared in Madara about one hundred and fifty years ago (the first recorded in the literature). One sighting, perhaps earlier, but it is unknown), no one knows where she came from, and no one knows why she appeared in Madara, but she was already a person as soon as she appeared in Madara A powerful undead lord.

When the player is familiar with the undead lord, she has already received the blood of the evil dragon of the bone dragon Olxin, and she is named one of the four knights of the apocalypse by the mercury rod. In the history of the white, every time he played, he always added a heavy robe like the present. Although the style and pattern of the robe may change, in most cases it is painted with patterns such as crosses and scales—unless she wants to When you want to hide your identity. But in either case, she wears her iconic building—that is, a metal mask that is half crying and half laughing.

Players—even those of Madara, have never seen the knight’s true face, nor can he tell her gender—though it’s no different to the undead—but the player still relishes guessing this. Of course, judging from the name, the player still prefers the latter kind of guessing.

And the facts have proved so-

After hearing the words of the black knight, Brando asked, "This is not the first time I have dealt with you, Miss Tiamas Joyue, obviously you have said more than one thing to me. I don't know what you mean by that. A word?"

"Ancestors—"

"You are an ancestor, a human being, you and I understand this deeply."

"What is an ancestor?" Brando frowned. This was indeed the second time this woman had mentioned this word, and it was also referring to him. But he is very puzzled. Brando’s origins are very clear. Neither he nor his grandfather is an ancestor. Although the sword sage Darus is famous, the ancestors of this family are just ordinary Eru. It depends on the person.

"Your understanding of us is beyond the limits of human knowledge, just like you know my real name, know my origins, even if I didn't tell you this when we first met, but I know you already know everything. Two Months ago, I was secretly sealed in the Temple of the Dead Moon. This secret has never been out of Madara with long legs, but you already know it. I believe you even know why I was sealed, knowing that my power comes from the spider mother Sele Silk-"

"Cerace, the spider mother? Your strength does not come from the bone dragon..." Brando was taken aback, and suddenly realized that it was not good. He really saw the woman looking at him with a sneer, and said with his mouth:

'The lord of darkness will return, he has insight into people's hearts and clarifies all things—'

"Put away your playful tricks," Bai Jia interrupted her coldly: "I will kill you at any time, if you dare to do it again."

Brando patted the senior sister's hand and prevented the other person from continuing. He asked with such an expression as expected: "So you said that Metisa told me before. Is this also to lie to me?"

This time there was no answer for nothing.

But Brando didn't care, and continued to ask: "Do you still think I am the Dragon of Darkness? However, time has passed, and now others don't necessarily think so. There is someone in the Empire who deserves this title more than me, right?"

"Darkness will be born out of inhumans, and honorable people will disappear from flames."

This sentence is the original word in the black prophecy.

Bai Jia shook his head: "A person who is permanently fixed at fifteen years old can still be considered a human. It is a human being and is inhuman. The Silver Queen Constance is obviously more satisfied with this point. She is on the final battlefield. Seeing some secrets, inheriting the power and will of the Dark Dragon, with the blessing of these powers, she has already become an inhuman existence."

"I didn't grow up," Bai replied, "The wisdom of mortals is always limited to this. I never said that you are the dragon of darkness. It was just a self-righteous misunderstanding by that little girl of Metisa."

Brando had lost interest and continued to listen to her mystery. He asked: "What is the relationship between you and Metisa."

"I have nothing to do with that bastard." This time he replied coldly.

Hearing this sentence, Brando was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the woman dumbfounded. Hearing this sentence, he instead confirmed the identity of this woman. She is indeed Medissa's sister—like Mei. As Tisha described in that dream. He turned his head and stopped looking at the woman. He had received enough information. He looked at Crotte: "Crote, as far as I know you are not the most trusted courtier, why does it You are delegated to perform this task."

This is just a euphemism. In fact, it's not as simple as not getting close. The so-called wall-riding faction is simply because of the power of the mercury rod and succumbed to the dark nobles under the supreme. These old nobles are in this new empire. China is the most underwhelming group of people. It is absolutely impossible for them to take their turn for an important mission of the Cruz Empire.

In fact, Crotte didn't know this, but he glanced in fear and didn't want to answer.

From this simple glance, Brando and Bai Jia had already got what they wanted.

"If I'm not wrong, she asked the one who allowed you to join, right?" Brando asked.

Clot's beating soul fire was clearly filled with consternation.

Brando thought that it was true. The few followers brought by this woman were all riders on the fence, but she herself was the most loyal knight of the existence with a mercury rod. What a coincidence. Generally speaking, people are gathered in groups. If he is replaced by him to perform this task, then he will definitely choose a few like-minded helpers who he believes to be trustworthy; or that these people are hand-picked by the one who has not spoken. There is room, but this is obviously impossible. Why should that person offend his most reliable subordinate for a few riders? This is obviously unreasonable

And when he asked, he found something unusual in it.

Why does Bai Pian choose a few wall-riders who have no loyalty to the Mercury Rod as his teammates? Others might think that she was trying to cultivate her cronies and circles and buy people's hearts, but Brando was very familiar with this woman. She was alone in her life except for the bones she had no wisdom to speak of. Any party members.

Although the world has changed, Brando has never seen a historical figure whose temperament has changed drastically because of changes in the context of the future.

He believes that Bai will never be an exception.

He wanted to ask something more, but the lady black knight had interrupted him angrily: "Stop asking, what do you want to know, human lord, let's make a deal."

Sure enough, Brando couldn't help but took a deep look at Lorison's undead standing on the side. The tall skeleton knight has remained motionless so far, like a stone statue.
