The Amber Sword

Chapter 989: The Flame of Dawn (5)

Brando and Charles seem to be walking aimlessly on Fragrant Street. This is the most prosperous commercial area in the Imperial Capital. The high-rise buildings on both sides of the street hung curtains representing the celebration early, and the craftsmen are making tables on which It was filled with flowers and wine from the outskirts of the manor.

The whole block seems to be immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming celebration, but careful observation can reveal the out of place details. There are few smiles on the faces of pedestrians, except for the carefree children, almost everyone's face There is a more or less sad color on it.

It seems that the heated discussion about the marriage of the Countess of Varach did not make people really forget the war that took place on the front line. For people with certain assets, this war was manifested in the decrease of the money on their books. For those who live in the imperial capital—and even the entire Banker area to the bottom of the Cape Bay area, this war has made their already embarrassing life even more difficult.

Prices have skyrocketed, supplies have decreased, men have been forcibly transferred to join the army, and it is almost difficult for the rest to survive.

The cost of war is inevitably passed on to these people, and only a few people can benefit from it, or realize their ambitions.

"It seems that the life of the Queen of the Cruz people may not be too good either." Shire looked around and couldn't help commenting.

Brando nodded silently.

However, their presence here is not just to evaluate the situation of the Silver Queen at the moment.

Under his suggestion, everyone started to split up. Faina, Delphine, and Roman pretended to be businessmen together. The Mehtophan family had a lot of influence in the Imperial City, and their secret remnants of influence were in recent months. I have been trying to rescue Grand Duke Huaye. What Faina has to do is to contact these people; Delphine’s situation is similar. The enemies of the Niederven family are all over the ruling and the opposition, but there are also many staunch allies. Some suffered losses during the blow, and some avoided the limelight but were not trusted by the Silver Queen. They could always find a trustworthy person, and the prime minister must identify them one by one.

Their task is to distinguish the enemy from ourselves and draw potential allies over. This task is dangerous, but if done well, they will not be deaf and blind in this huge city.

As for Metis and others, the task is to contact the envoy of the Duchy of Antobro, who entered the city one day earlier, to confirm whether Princess Magdal has contacted the envoy. This is a dark move. Because Eruin’s envoys fell to the side of the eldest son in this civil war, their mission ended after the war in Metz, but it had nothing to do with Princess Magdal. Relationship, she is the representative of the Principality of Antobruo, the Principality is still on the side of the Silver Queen at least so far, so after the war, she will continue to go to the imperial capital to join her envoys.

However, the nun princess did not actually support the Silver Queen in her heart, because her religious stance was a firm temple tradition. With the direct successor of the Great Holy See Sidney on Brando’s side, she naturally fell to the cloth. Lando's side, not to mention the latter is her savior.

Of course, she cannot betray the interests of her motherland, but on this basis, she can provide Brando and others with some help within her capacity, at least to be their other eye, in case the two-sided Cruz nobles They deceived them and at the same time provided cover for them to enter and leave the city.

Although it is impossible for the Silver Queen not to watch the nun princess who is very close to the Eruin, it is not important. The city is full of her eyeliner. If you are afraid of being caught, what can it be? Can't do it either. In fact, Brando, who is very experienced in this kind of infiltration task-don't ask where his experience came from-is very clear that it is not terrible to be found by Her Majesty the clues, but the terrible thing is that the information is not equal.

As for himself and Shire's mission, he did not say it, but it was very important.

He first walked around the city by himself, and explored the places in his memory with hidden events and props. After all, it is rare to visit Rushita. Will he come to this place again in the future? He didn't plan to leave the treasures to the Cruz people. After half a day, I bought a lot of messy things. Among them, I bought dozens of bottles of holy water on the 2nd and 3rd, because most of the hidden places near the imperial capital are places like tombs or shrines. These places are the most The easy things to get started are all kinds of holy water and holy objects. Although he inherited a lot of holy water from Amman's heritage, after many battles, he has actually used a lot of high-end goods for a long time. The harvest this time has greatly supplemented him. After all, the imperial capital is also the center of the Temple of Flames. How can the holy water produced in these places be mortal.

As for holy objects are relatively rare inside the Temple of Flame, so most of the things he gets are the most common things, such as blessed rosary beads, sacred skeletons or similar things. These things can be used against demons and undead. Holy spells provide a lot of bonuses, but they have no effect on weekdays. The only thing that makes Brando more gratifying is that he obtained the armor of Gandu and the wings of angels from the tomb of St. Flirva; St. Flirva is a famous saint in the history of the Temple of Flame, but about him Where the Eucharist was stored is an eternal mystery. This mystery was finally solved by a Cruz player from Cloak Bay. He accidentally found this in the public cemetery of the Lion’s Palace that no one could have imagined. The saint’s tomb, from which he obtained the sacred armor of Gandu and the angel wings of the sacred robe used by the saint.

This discovery is also a widely circulated anecdote in "Amber Sword", because most of the hidden treasures and discoveries before this were found in places off the beaten track, and few people would look for them in Novice Village. What kind of lost treasure? After all, most people subconsciously think that there will be no hidden treasure in the birthplace — or even if there is, it will only be some trivial eggs.

But the discovery of the sacred weapon Gangdu's armor and the holy robe angel wings taught everyone a lesson—proving that the location of the hidden treasures in "Amber Sword" is only related to their history—in other words , In theory, as long as it fits the historical background of the game, you can even unearth the Azure Spear at the birth point. After that, there was an upsurge of investigating history and exploring the background in the game. It was also from that time that players like Brando began to deliberately record a lot of history and information. It is worth mentioning that Buche’s Ji The tomb of Rangde was also discovered in this context.

And the reason why Fuerhua’s tomb is so famous, besides being related to this background, the biggest reason is that the armor of Gangdu and the wings of angels that the player found, the two holy objects, are of low value. The armor of rigidity is fantasy-level equipment, while the wings of angels are authentic artifacts of ancient times, and even have the qualifications to be close to artifacts.

Although the name of Gangdu's armor is called armor, it is actually a pair of gloves, cast from unknown silver metal. In addition to its amazing properties (strength +35, physique +40, 10% light resistance) ), as a fantasy-level armor, it also has a special effect that everyone can envy—that is, as long as there is light, the holder can deploy the special ability of Gangdo’s Sanctuary. This ability is actually a An invincible barrier that lasts for five seconds and has a radius of about ten meters.

You read that right, it is immune to all damage and control effects. It lasts for five seconds. The charging time is about four hours. Although it can't move, it can be used well to turn defeat into victory in battle. At that time, "Amber Sword" was in the era of major dungeons opening up wasteland. It was once a recognized bug equipment. The guild of the player who owned it was far ahead of the entire world in terms of PVE progress. This once caused players to feel bad. Many protests, but later as more and more fantasy-level equipment appeared, after various BUG special effects emerged in an endless stream, the players were not surprised, and the voices of various controversies disappeared.

After all, BUG equipment can be called an artifact when one person owns it, but everyone has artifacts in their hands, that's nothing more.

But if the armor of rigidity is nothing more than this, the holy robe of Angel Wings is a bit unacceptable, especially since it was still in the early game-it was obtained by players almost effortlessly from a novice map. On the surface, this saint robe is a typical priest's robe. Because the version it was discovered has not yet opened the equipment of the level of ancient artifacts, it far exceeds the attributes of the general fantasy equipment level line (will + 21 , Bloodline +110, light affinity +10) was shocked by the players at that time as a heavenly object. Although players in that era could not clearly realize that there may be higher-level equipment after the fantasy-level equipment, they still gave it to An appropriate title for this holy robe-super fantasy equipment.

Later, as soon as the Legend of the Ancients opened, Angel Wings was promoted directly to Chuan Gu. It can be said that it is the only piece of early Chuan Gu equipment in the entire Amber Sword where players have witnessed the promotion process. It is in "Amber Sword" One can imagine the fame in China.

But this is not the point. The point lies in the special attribute of the sacred robe of Angel Wings—Light Illusory Feather: your light affinity attribute can be converted into wind affinity attribute. This attribute is not known to players in up to three versions, because in the early version, elemental affinity is actually similar to an attribute enhanced attribute, in short, it is to improve your training in casting a certain series of spells. Degree-including damage, casting speed, element penetration, etc., which sounds very powerful, but the specific effect is very cheating.

Because the attribute of affinity is calculated according to the affinity level, the affinity level has an experience slot, how many proficiency you achieve on this experience slot, the affinity level will be raised to the corresponding level, and the affinity practice The degree is derived from the elemental affinity provided by equipment or skills. In this way, the 10% damage, casting speed, and element penetration increase of each affinity level increase seems so tasteless. After all, a player can’t stack thousands of element affinity. In that case, he still Do you want other attributes

For this reason, and most of the wearers of the holy robe are priests, in addition to the Temple of the Queen of Wind, how many of the priests' holy spells require the affinity of the wind element? Even the priests of the Queen of the Wind, in fact, most of the time is mostly dealing with the light element. This is the basic principle of holy spells. Don’t think that the priests of the Temple of Flame shoot all kinds of flames, but they are actually just light. The elements are just the reproduction of the doctrines and laws of the Tao of Jinyan. In Warend, as long as it is a holy spell, it will definitely not be out of the category of light element.

In this way, most players think that this illusion feather is just a useless ability, and the reason why Angel Wings has this ability is just to balance the super-high basic attributes of the holy robe of Angel Wings—in fact Until the end of the war and chaos, players still believed that the main strength of the holy robe of Angel Wings lies in its attributes far superior to Tongji.

After all, the title of'Whiteboard Artifact' is definitely not an empty name.

However, with the emergence of the ancient artifacts, more ancient artifacts began to appear in the player's field of vision. Players gradually began to discover that among the many ancient artifacts, the attributes of angel wings were actually not enough. In this way, it is not even a front line. In this way, players will inevitably question this-a piece of equipment with basic attributes can only be regarded as general in the same level of equipment, and equipment with special attributes that is so rubbish, is it really an ancient artifact

Some players think that this is a bug caused by the game company, while another part of the players begin to suspect that this so-called illusion feather has a mystery. As a result, they really asked them to study it out. In the era of slate wars, players began to master their extreme powers. After entering the world of their own laws, players began to be surprised to find that the laws are elemental tendencies.

This is actually quite normal. After all, the entire Vaughan was established on the basis of elements. Martha made a contract with the four elven kings to construct the world based on the elements, and then use it to restrict the flow of magic, so that all beings can multiply. Of this world. Therefore, the entire world and the laws built on it will inevitably bring various elemental biases, just like the temple of flames built by Gilt, the king of flames, and the temple of Fenghou built by Fenghou. Their teachings are all closely related to the elements, and the belief in the four temples that are nearly deified is one of the most rooted laws in this world.

Therefore, the law has an elemental tendency, and in fact it appears in the background of the game from the beginning.

This is not surprising, but what shocks players is that elemental affinity is also effective in the world of law. And this effect is not only reflected in increasing the strength of the element’s power, it can even change the nature of the element. In other words, if a player’s element’s power is breeze, or a similar wind-biased law, in the element Under the influence of affinity, it can even become a hurricane or hurricane. This improvement is not only a quantitative improvement, but also a qualitative improvement.

Under such circumstances, the illusion of feather appears extremely terrifying.

Because it can transform a light-biased element into a purely wind-biased element. Unfortunately, most of the priest's elements are actually more or less light-biased. In other words, when he got this holy robe, he was equivalent to mastering two elements at the same time, one element biased toward light and the other element biased toward wind.

This is simply against the sky.

It is equivalent to assuming that Brando’s space-time element is an element that is biased toward light. After the conversion of this saint robe, he can completely obtain a homogeneous element that is biased toward wind—for example, it is not inferior to the element of space-time. , The element of annihilation. Although these two elements belong to the same level, their effects are completely different. For those who master these two elements at the same time, the improvement of strength is by no means a simple matter of one plus one equals two.

As soon as this fact was exposed, Angel Wings immediately returned to the throne of the gods, and even won the title of something near gods.

The reason why it is not an artifact is because it has extremely high requirements on the quality of the wearer itself. This is easy to understand. A guy with only the most subordinate elements wearing this holy robe can only be a rookie no matter how he converts it. So this is an icing on the cake, and it can’t have the effect of sending charcoal in the snow.

In theory, this saint robe is indeed the most suitable for Brando, after all, what other element can be higher than time and space? Can it be more powerful than the homogeneous elements transformed from time-space elements? But it is a pity that the space-time element is a polarized element is just an assumption. In fact, it is a dark element in Vaughan, so this piece of equipment has no effect on it.

Brando got this piece of equipment, which was actually prepared for Hippamilla. There is no doubt that no one under him can be more suitable for this holy robe than Hippamilla. The essentials of Hippamilla are After the high-level polarized light and the laws of the earth-the land of the holy white, is converted into a homogeneous wind element, she is almost equivalent to having the three-attribute elements, and the main function of the land of the holy white is defense and assistance. Most of the elements of the wind system are offensive, which just complements them.

After getting these things, Brando summoned Charles out.

After all, he found a few hidden treasures in one place. This kind of bizarre thing is not easy to explain, so he had to find an excuse to send Shire to do something else, and wait until his personal affairs are done. Summon him. Anyway, there is almost no distance limit in the brigade mage system, only one command is needed, and the owner of the secondary authority can be summoned to him at any time.

His next destination is on Suman Street. At the end of this street there is a magic item shop called "Indulge in Roses", and this little-known little place is the final destination of his trip.
