The Amber Sword: Act 35 Phantom of the Past
Act 35 Phantom of the Past
Under the clear sky, it is the brightest sunshine since spring.
On the Bruglas river, it should be such a scene in April and May. The green meadow continues to the end of river bank, the forest is lush trees, and a watermill or sawmill is faintly seen where the golden river turns.
The flowing water is clear. The river passes through the pebbles on both banks and is sent to the downstream Viero area with the wind from the Usson mountain. But to the native people, this river is like a stream of endless poems, which contains the wisdom of the years.
Brando thinks so, he walks along the river bank, listening to the sounds of the forest. There are bears in the forest, but it is not easy to see. In one of his memories, this was the place where his grandfather loved to bring him. But in his other memory, this area is the zone he is most familiar with. The forests are small animals of several levels. The bear is a local Boss, and it drops a piece of good-quality leather.
The two memories are fused and intertwined in his mind.
The third memory is about the -- of Golden Demonic Tree
Looking at the familiar scenery, his thoughts could not help returning to a few minutes ago:
"Freya, Romaine. To make a long story short, you should be aware of already. The real ability to control so many magic servants and children -- Golden Demonic Tree through spirit / mind is the power of spirit / mind."
"The power of spirit / mind?"
"Romaine, don't interrupt."
"Sorry, Freya."
"Yes, the power of spirit / mind. Penetrating thoughts, remotely controlling the human heart, creating the illusion of Mysterious, detaining the soul." Brando replied: "In fact, when we deal with the magic dryad, Golden Demonic Tree began to affect our thinking on already , Because it has been dreaming a long dream, this dream will soon be integrated with you and me. "
"Dream?"
"Well, we will soon enter our respective dreams separately. You will see some incredible things there, but before that I have some points I must tell you ..."
Brando to the valley The middle finger, where Golden Demonic Tree is becoming more and more beautiful in their eyes. Its branches seem to stretch out in all directions, exuding a vivid expression of the vitality --, Correct Golden Tree, which extends to the real world.
In game, Tree Shepherds gives Golden Tree's Godsblood to awaken it, but also makes these elf holy trees fall into eternal dreams. These dreams are all about the fragments and words of an Dark World, and mortals will be insane even if they only glance at them.
Only one of these dreams is quite deadly to the player, and once involved, it may be lost at any time. To fight Golden Demonic Tree, you have to enter its dream.
This will be the first stage of battle with Golden Demonic Tree, Wonderland. The battle at this stage was considered by players to be the most difficult in game, but the guild called ‘Meta’ used a clever method to solve the problem.
This method was a little-known secret earlier, but Brando comes from the era when already was widely spread among players.
Coincidentally, his resources are just enough to complete this plan.
But these are not enough --
Because when the first stage is over, the next stage of battle in reality will depend on real strength to determine the outcome. This stage was relatively simple in game, but the opposite is true for the original Brando team. It is a bit difficult to complete.
Without him, most players in game enter this Instance with an average of level Level 25 or more. However, the Brando with the highest level among the three is only Level 10. Even with the help of the best equipment, it is difficult to wither in 15 minutes The herd arrived before ending the battle.
This is why as soon as Brando mastered Cards of Fate: Holy Sword, scheme hit Golden Demonic Tree immediately. Because as long as Cards of Fate is used, it seems that all conditions for killing Golden Demonic Tree are ready.
"The main point?" Freya's's voice pulled him back to reality.
Brando hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Because it is Golden Demonic Tree's dream that entered our dream, you must remember that you are the leader of this dream. So no matter how it constructs this dream, how ferocious beasts it creates , But none will exceed your limit -- "
He remembered that in game, in this scene Golden Demonic Tree should release some of the strongest monsters the player has ever encountered in a single player in a dream, and then reproduce that scene. But it's not just that simple. -- here the player will get a negative emotional value. When he makes mistakes and is injured more, the negative emotional value will increase and the monster will become stronger.
As a result, the battle is often over because the monsters are getting stronger and stronger, the players are getting weaker, and finally enter a vicious circle where players ca n’t resist and end.
Brando doesn't know how this negative emotion value will behave in reality, but there is only one core. That is to be confident in yourself and try to ensure the best state of combat, so that you can win.
He pointed to one's own's forehead and looked at Romaine and Freya seriously: "Concentrate your attention and ensure high morale. Human Will Attributes --"
"Will Attributes?"
"Don't interrupt, Romaine!" Brando replied angrily: "I mean willpower, human willpower is not fixed. He will float up and down according to your status, focus on it, and ensure high morale. Keep your willpower at its peak. The firmer the willpower, the harder it will be for Golden Demonic Tree to mobilize your negative emotions. Do not be controlled by negative emotions, or the consequences will be serious.
"How serious?" The future miss merchant looked at him with bright big eyes.
Brando did not answer, he was afraid that one's own would make them too nervous, and nervousness is also a negative emotion. Because failure means that the soul will be locked in the trunk of Golden Demonic Tree forever, and it will not be released until Golden Tree is burned into ashes, but the release is also death.
already gradually became hazy around.
But there is still a Laws in Brando, because there is such a Laws in this battle. When the first person wakes up, he can enter the dream of the next person, pass on a belief for the one's own companion, and let the other party Nightmare can be defeated more easily.
But everyone in the team has only one such opportunity, so guild at that time will generally arrange a wake chain; the strongest person first enters the dream, then the second strongest, and then strong again, so that when guild is the most powerful When the person first wakes up, they can help the people below in a timely manner. This sequence can make the team's downsizing in the first stage not too serious.
Brando now intends to change this order.
"I was the first to dream." He said, "then Freya, and finally Romaine."
"How to enter the dream?" Freya asked.
"Just close your eyes. I'll close my eyes first, then you, then Romaine --." Brando almost bit his tongue at one's own. He immediately reached out and held down the Romaine's eyelid because he saw The miss merchant actually planned to close his eyes and try it.
“Ah!” Romaine was held by Brando's's hand while holding his forehead, lowly could not help but cry.
"Curiousness killed the cat, ojou-sama!"
"Sorry, sorry."
"The world of Magic and spirit / mind is very dangerous. Be cautious about everything." Brando sighed, his plan is like this. I have the best ideas, of course, I should be the first to enter a dream. And Freya is behind him because he thinks that the future Valkyrie is the hardest to defeat one's own -- among three people. Because of too many heart obstacles, the danger is even greater.
But if he is assisted by someone like experience, it is probably not too dangerous. On the contrary, Romaine with a simple mind should be easier to escape from the control of Golden Demonic Tree, and with the help of Freya's, success is a matter of course.
The duration of the first phase is five minutes, which is extended to half an hour in a dream. If they do not leave within this time, they will also be confined by Golden Demonic Tree forever because they are lost.
It looks like a very successful project, at least Brando didn't find any problems on it. If they succeed, in addition to the considerable rewards, the activity time at Rydenburg will become quite abundant. What is the situation of Rydenburg now and what will become in the future, no one of these people knows better than Brando. To find Romaine's aunt there and successfully evacuate, you have more hope every time.
He patted Thorn of Clear Light around his waist and took a breath. The dream of Golden Demonic Tree is very real. When he took a deep breath, his lungs seemed to be full of Aura with the wet soil on the side of river bank.
But what does it mean that Golden Tree Boss dropped him here? could it be that Does it think that the strongest monster he encountered was the old brown bear in this forest?
Dare to love, 1Level 6's rare Elite, now he can easily solve it.
But in Brando's memory, Golden Demonic Tree is not so kind. On the contrary, these creatures which are distorted by the so-called 'Godsblood' are the purest evil creature, and their evil is not even justified.
But it ’s time, it ’s almost time to trigger the plot, right? Although it's been a few days in this world, Brando still uses subconsciously to trigger the story, without him, it's just a habit.
At this time, he heard a sound of metal clashes, Brando's ears moved, and for a person who is familiar with Swordsmanship to a certain degree (level 3 Military Swordsmanship), the sound alone can tell that this should be Two people are duel.
But it's not intense, it looks like practice.
Brando did not choose to avoid, because he knew it was meaningless to avoid in dreams. And avoiding danger means flinching, this is a negative emotion, maybe it was used by Golden Demonic Tree. He followed the source of the sound, and found that the sound came from behind the watermill in the sawmill nearby, but approached, looking around the tall vertical waterwheel, he saw two unexpected Person --
An old man with a pile of snow and silver hair, wearing a dark blue uniform with a sword in his hand, standing there naturally gives a towering temperament, like a mountain. But what made Brando jump in his heart was the look of this old man, and he had a sense of indignation and prestige in his solemnity. If someone with a ghost in his heart saw it, he would probably avoid his gaze guilty immediately.
The other is a little boy holding wooden sword. It may not look any different from other children, but it means differently in the eyes of Brando.
He recognized the Correct Brando at a glance, which should be Brando when he was young. He was taken aback, raises head, and immediately realized who the old man was. That must be Brando's grandfather, veteran of November War, and winner of Candlelight Medal. Obediently, that ’s incredible. Although Aouine already is old and young, Holy Cathedral of Fire ’s medal is not so easy to get --
But this time Golden Demonic Tree The dream set seems to be the same as game It ’s a little different, Brando A tight heart. But he was so hesitant that he felt immediately Brando's Grandfather's momentum became more and more stable, but some began to affect his mood.
"Negative emotions!" Brando immediately realized that he was unknowingly affected, which is different from game. After all, the system in game cannot manipulate human thoughts, but it is completely different here.
This way, the battle will be more difficult than in game!
Brando couldn't help but deeply breathed in, according to the one's own pockets, fortunately, he still has the biggest reliance. Although somewhat unexpected, the situation is at least under control.
Thinking of it, he calmed down.
The old man's gaze also stopped on him, and he took a moment to think, then he said, "Boy, are you qualified to inherit everything from my grandson?"
This sentence makes the Brando body slightly shake.
