Under the rolling hills and hills of East Metz, under the mist of low clouds and forests, deep underground caves are intricate, and there are countless ruins in the dark. Numerous creatures and dead are entangled in the meantime, night and day. About their ancient legends, their own folk songs and stories have been passed down from generation to generation in the folk of Metz. Old people will occasionally mention these creepy legends. Husbands use them to teach their wives and mothers to frighten their sons. The horror and forest in the night Zhong Xuxu's whispers follow the wind of summer and autumn, lingering for a hundred years.
This dark power is only in the hands of the most powerful dark lords-the existence known as the'Grand Duke'. In history, Metz once had three "Grand Dukes". The first was Baron Snowway of Oveshin. He had mastered the dark world for thirty years before his death and thirty years after his death. He was once ordained as a saint. He is also a profound necromancer. He deceived the world and robbed his name until he was dug out from the grave sixty years after his death. His bones and ashes were burned to the torch, and his authority was sealed in a crown by the temple. Underground in the Prison Island, it was stolen during the turbulent years, and then completely lost. The second is the famous Ludwig Witch, who spreads believers in the forest of Silver Creek Valley and attracts dark wizards. , Robbers and mercenaries joined the cult that it carefully managed. In that era, everyone knew that Ludwig’s day belonged to the Lord Duke, and the night belonged to the King of Witches. Even the whispers of the breeze passing through the forest did not whisper. Travelers kept silent about names that they dared to mention, and merchants and knights did not even dare to approach the forest in the dark. The witch finally died in the hands of the paladin Luther. Her heart was nailed into the Perkin Church in Sweet Harbor with a wooden thorn. The holy flames on it burned all year round. It is said that there are still screams from it. The perennial wind and wind around the sanctuary make pedestrians detour, and the statue of the paladin Luther still exists in the three ports of East Metz. Respect; the third is the master of Baria, the Duke of Golden Flame. His power in the mortal world is equivalent to that in the dark world. His life is extremely extravagant and degenerate, selfish and narrow, extremely greedy for beauty, and cursed by passers-by. The Demon Duke, his favored courtier Victor, is actually Roclair, the bloody lord of the tree shepherd. He has repeatedly provoked the majesty of the Temple of Flame and preached heresy in public, and finally died on the torture rack. After his defeat All his close ministers could hardly escape death, and Victor-Croller was still imprisoned in the most severe dungeon in the empire. And his authority was stored in the underground holy cellar of the Great Sanctuary of Oveshin, and was sealed by the four saints. A knight of the Flames swore to take care of him for life.
"The so-called authority is actually the power of the Dark Orb." The underground world is silent, and the light beam hanging from the top of the head seems to be the only light source in the dark, and the flickering light spots are flying in the dark, enveloping a layer of floating mist. Bai's voice echoed in the empty hall, and a layer of sand fell on top of his head from time to time, but no one cared:
"An explorer found this treasure in the labyrinth of caves under the Fawn Woodland and brought it out. The treasure was then lost in the hands of a businessman named Rodrian. He later brought it all together. The Dark Orb was acquired by the high-level wizard of, and the Dark Orb was acquired by that wizard. The latter used the power of the Book of Eternal Evil Maviskart to extract power from the Dark Orb and made a skeletal scepter, a ring and a The crown, these three treasures have the power to command the undead. They are the treasures of the undead world. They were later obtained by the above three people respectively. Among them, the bone crown has long been lost and the amethyst ring was destroyed by the paladin Luther. , Only the skeletal scepter was sealed under Oveshin’s holy cellar."
It turned out to be the Dark Orb, Brando suddenly realized that, like the Frozen Orb, the Dark Orb is the sacred object of the dark element. It is the source of all negative magic powers, so it can order the undead formed by the negative magic power. However, the high-level wizard who turned everything into one was able to draw power from the Dark Orb with the help of the Book of the Eternal Evil Mavekart. Obviously, he was not a general one, it was probably someone in the history of this organization. Famous people.
"You are here for this?"
"To be precise, it came for the Bone Scepter. I killed the Fireborn Knight. The Bone Scepter is now in the hands of Duke Ambnar."
"The commander of the White Legion?"
White nodded.
Brando suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Amman transformed himself into an undead, does it have something to do with you?" He asked: "Amman has access to the book of the eternal evil Mavekart. For a while, high-level leaders will never accept an undead. He should only become an undead after that." At this point, he couldn't help but cast a deep glance: "You tree shepherds can infiltrate everything for a while. ?"
The method of permeating everything together is a must in "Amber Sword". An organization with such a strong penetration force is naturally not as good as that of reverse osmosis, and may even be stronger. Therefore, he is very It's hard to be surprised by this.
"Penetration? That's not enough," Bai replied very self-knowingly. "It's just my personal act to confuse Amman. That person wants to pursue immortality. I can persuade him to join us by seeing his ambitions." A sneer appeared on his pale face: "Eternal and immortal. Only a madman can be eternal and immortal. A sensible person will never chase such a vain thing."
The black rose of Bromanto is said to be immortal and eternal. Brando felt a bit interesting to hear such words from a dark nobleman in Madara. "So, it's no wonder Andesa can recognize him, but they didn't seem to deal too much at the beginning. Amman didn't join the tree shepherd?"
"He has no interest in the shepherd. That person is the kind of truly selfish maggot. All he does is based on his own interests and lives only for himself. He simply cannot understand our pursuit. We I won't accept such a person either." Bai said lightly.
"What about you, are you bewitching him for the book of the eternal evil Maviskart?"
"Yes, I exchanged eternal and immortal secrets with him, hoping to get a counterfeit of the Book of Mavikart from him." Bai lifted his eyelids and glanced at him with golden eyes: "As far as I know Back then, the high-level sorcerer who was in the same world used the fake Mavekart's book as a medium to extract the power of the Dark Orb."
"You seem to be very obsessed with the power of the Dark Orb -" Brando asked suspiciously, "Wait, you said that the high-level wizard used the fake book of Mavicart as a medium to extract the power of the Dark Orb. Yes, and you want to get a fake Mavekart Book from Amman. Could it be that you have found the Dark Orb?"
The golden flames in Bai's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't answer this question.
"It seems you are right, Brando. Not only did she find the Dark Orb, but it also seems that the Dark Orb is probably in this place-this hall." Bai Jia smiled slightly, and said.
Bai suddenly turned her head and stared at the female knight very resentfully, but she understood that this was of no avail, and could not help but sighed slightly: "Yes, I am sure that I have found the Dark Orb."
Brando and Bai Jia glanced at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes from their respective eyes. The dark orb disappeared without a trace after the high-level wizard of the unity of all things, and they were made by drawing power from it. The three treasures have been transferred for hundreds of years and fell into the hands of three different people. After a hundred years, the crown of bones is missing, and even the amethyst ring is completely destroyed. I did not expect this woman to have such ambitions. , She even looked down on these three treasures and turned her gaze directly to the Dark Orb.
And listening to her, she didn't know how long ago she started to make this plan. Judging from the information Brando knew, it was at least earlier than the time he traveled.
This woman's scheming is too deep and calm, if they hadn't been too familiar with her, this time might not be able to make her suffer so much.
"If I'm not wrong, the Dark Orb should have been acquired by Lorisson's wife," Bai continued, "It's just that at that time the power in the Orb somehow left the Orb itself and was injected into her body, like the blood of God. The same. This can only be the handwriting of the tree shepherd. You guessed that Grass was a tree shepherd, and you also applied for my guess. I think it should be a high-level tree shepherd who extracted the power from the dark orb. , Made into a kind of pure blood of God, and Luo Ruisen’s wife is probably just a middle-lower believer of a tree shepherd, a divine envoy, an experimental product."
"Blood of the Dark God." Brando said suddenly.
Bai gave him a glance: "Did you see it from Andesa?"
Brando didn't say that the blood of the Dark God was on him, he just nodded silently.
"That should have something to do with the Dark Orb, but it's not pure. It should be a secondary product derived from the experiment of Grasse. There is only one true Dark Envoy in this world, and that is her." Bai contemptuously said: " Her power is so pure and powerful, otherwise you think that with the consistent behavior of the Temple of Flame, how could it be possible to only seal her up, and being on the torture frame is her only end."
"This is the real purpose of your coming here?" Brando looked at Lorison, who was standing aside, with pale light shining on its phosphorous bones, carving a dark as ink shadow between the bones, with golden eyes in its eye sockets. The flames were burning, and there was no reaction to their words. He didn't know if it could hear the conversation between them, but the knight must have loved its wife deeply before his death, otherwise it would not be able to sacrifice its reputation and everything, and even endure endless after death. Pain is here to guard her.
This is truly noble and sincere love, transcending life and death, and above everything in this world.
But good things are often easy for evil to take advantage of, just like now. Brando stared at the undead knight for a while, then turned around and asked, "Are you going to make a deal with him and take the power of the Dark Orb from his wife?"
"Are you going to stop me?"
"Should I stop you?" Brando asked back.
Bai Leng smiled coldly. "But if I don't take the blood of the Dark God, that poor woman's soul will be sealed here forever, enduring pain and suffering, and Sir Lawson, an upright and noble knight, has to be in the state of what he hates most in his lifetime. , I live in this dark underground, guarding silently all day long, but I can't see the face of my lover all day long. Two pure souls are bound here forever, day after day, year after year, only darkness lasts forever."
"What does this have to do with us?" Mordefeis had long been very puzzled. He could not understand this kind of mortal feelings. For him, the only difference between the hunter and the prey, the master and the servant, the mortal things. For him, apart from food, there is only the owner. He dedicated all the good things in life to death and loyalty. Brando only needs a look in his eyes to let him die willingly.
But Brando and Bai Jia fell into silence.
"My lord, there are many powers in this world. As long as you give up principles, they are at your fingertips. For a person like me, there is no difference between the power of the Dark Orb, the power of the Book of Mavikart, or any other power. I will eventually Getting strength and doing evil for the world is not different from what I use to get strength. Now it is the best result, why stick to tradition? Besides, only if I persuade Luo Ruisen, you can take it away safely from here. That slate, this is a win-win transaction, you can deal with me at any time, right?"
Bai's voice echoed in the dark underground, like a whisper of the devil, full of charm and magic.
"Since you know I will kill you, why do you pursue these anymore?" Brando asked coldly.
With a raging golden flame burning in Bai's eyes, she smiled, revealing Bai Sensen's fangs. "I don't believe in inevitable. As long as there is a chance, it is worth my all-out effort."
"In that case, why should I give you this opportunity to turn defeat into victory?" Brando asked again: "Unlike you, I am a cautious person, wishing to take everything in my own hands."
Bai did not speak, as if she believed Brando would change her mind in the end, but at this moment, a low and old voice sounded in the darkness:
"Let her come, young man."
The three of them turned their heads together, and the golden fire in the eyes of the tall and pale skeleton knight was beating. It creaked around and looked at Bai. A hollow and vicissitudes of voice seemed to come from its chest: " You said you can lift the curse on Glass and free her from this endless suffering?"
This is not a dead soul without wisdom—
"Sir Lawson—" Brando was the first to react. He hurriedly stopped. This woman is really terrifying. Although she doesn't seem to be lying, who can guarantee? But the skeleton knight only waved his hand gently at him, interrupted him and said, "I have been listening here for a long time. The three of you know my life well, so would you like to sit down and listen to me as an old man? if?"
Brando and Bai Jia glanced at each other in amazement, Bai did not answer, their eyes flickered and they didn't know what they were thinking. Finally, Brando nodded and replied, "Please tell me."
The undead knight was silent for a moment, and his low voice echoed in the darkness: "I was born in the countryside of Granu, and I have seen many people and many things in my life. I remember some of those memories, and some can't remember them anymore, but For me now, they are all left with endless pain and suffering. My love for Grasse, now there is only a vow and bondage left. The human feelings have long since disappeared. But in the darkness. In my mind, such a thought often flashes in my mind. I want to see her again. Once this thought came into my mind, it took root and could not be restrained—"
"I don't know if this is love, but I only want to see her, young man, I may have more experience in my life than you, but at this moment I dare not pretend to be long in front of you, I just want to ask you, can I Fulfill the wishes of an old man."
"I dedicated my life to Martha, but I never saw the light in my life—"
The sigh in the darkness is like the sand in the wind. After the gravel is gone, only endless vicissitudes of life are left.
Brando and Bai Jia have been unable to speak for a long time. I have dedicated my life to Martha, but I have never seen the light in my life-but I am also ideal seekers. Will they end up like this one day? In this world, whether you really give will be rewarded, or is it just a kind of comfort and lies, but the whispers of desperate people comforting each other in the dark.
Suppose there has never been light in the darkness
"Then let me ignite this kind of fire—" Brando silently raised this uncontrollable thought.
Hidden in the shadows of the two, Bai still didn't say a word, but Brando knew that she had succeeded. He sighed, there may be some things in this world that you know are wrong, but you have to do it, because the power called human nature shines in the darkness together with the brilliance of reason. "Perhaps what we need is not cold and correct, Senior Sister." He whispered to Bai Jia.
Bai Jia was silent.
At that moment she suddenly thought of the empire named Maldos.
