The Amber Sword: Act 81 The Story of Turbulence and Fish (3)

The 81st turbulence and the story of the fish (3)

The battle seemed to end as soon as it began.

Ike can almost be sure that those guys under the black robes also have at least the strength of high-tier silver, but he expected things to happen, but did not expect the results --

He almost believed that a few people in Cabot wanted blood to splatter on the spot, and finally couldn't help but rush the blood and pulled out his sword to stop it.

But the old man with all white who came out from behind Cabot just clicked on it a few times, and a few gray rays flickered a few of --'s guys whom he regarded as a nightmare into a pile of dust.

youngster opened his mouth wide, and for a moment he wondered if he was dreaming.

When the elderly spellcast, Holy Sigil of Earth showed -- on the palm of his hand, and wizard -- Ike, which holds the power of element, is ignorant, and knows that the entire Aouine does not exceed ten people. Among these ten people, either the long-established senior wizard or one party Thane, and the rest are only the owners of Black tower and Council of the Stars and the Moon.

Who is he?

Then he saw Cabot stoop down and said respectfully to the old man: "Master Lockwood, it's hard."

This sentence is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, keeping Ike for a moment from the back of the sack. In Aouine, there are many people called Lockwood. But there is only one who is qualified to be called a master.

Lockwood Hadvila Gummel.

Aouine's Chief Court wizard, assisted the three dynasties of the Anson VII.

Ike for a moment has some confusion in his head. He really can't figure out why he would see such a big man in such a remote place. And it looks like he's here to help them.

"This ... this ..." youngster pointed at the old man with a stupid expression: "You, you are ..."

The old man nodded, acknowledged his guess, and replied: "It's a long story, Mr. Ike, let Knight Cabot take us to a safe place. Let me explain to you in detail."

"Cabot ... Knight?" Ike looked at Cabot and felt that the world had been subverted.

...

Brando and his team walked up the quiet mountain forest in the east, and the sound of footsteps of 15 people's team rustling through the dense wormwood, like a shadowless and invisible long snake gliding over and reaching out The five fingers were dark; but looking backwards, my eyes occasionally separated from the blades of grass, and I saw the flickers of light in the forest below the mountain. There was originally a brightly lit camp, but at this moment only the embers of the charcoal fire in the darkness were left.

"Our horse is still in the camp, Brando."

This is already. This is the third time she has been here to ask this question. Brando knows that Romaine is hurting her little colt. She can't help but shake her head with a smile.

"They'll go back, right, Brando?" Miss merchant's eyes shone with the fire of the mountain, and she looked back, raising her white chin, and asked.

She knows Brando's.

But Romaine is just a soft-hearted little girl after all. Just as though she knows that she and her aunt are not necessarily popular among the villagers, the land that can be raised is called hometown after all.

So she is still willing to help Freya and rebuild Bucce --

"Only Mother Marsha knows," Brando replied. Whether Grey Wolf Mercenary Company will follow in the footsteps of history, the decision is not in him, but whether he can influence the views of ‘Maned Wolf' Makarov.

"However, they clearly perceive this as a trap and should be alert to Ah––" Romaine asked: "Brando, aren't you the Makarov a clever guy?"

"It's too smart." Brando knew that before Makarov became free mercenary, this 'Maned Wolf' was known as crafty fox. He was the chief think tank of the royalist reformists, if not the time before 11 The failure of the political struggle will not end here.

"So they are calculating each other." Amandina asked.

"Almost."

"I don't understand, why they did this." damsel couldn't help but put forward another hypothesis: "Is there really a secret in this forest that is tempting?"

Brando smiles, the secret is there, but it is not enough to make people tempted. Not to mention that the two sides in the fight are not concerned about this, they are concerned about another thing.

His smile fell into the eyes of Amandina, and the girl immediately asked: "Do you know anything right, sir?"

Brando nodded.

"We saw that youngster the other day, do you remember?" He said, "His real name should be Ike Lantolian Ophelia."

"This name is familiar."

"Naturally, you should have heard of Canon Lantolian Ophelia."

Romaine is okay with other Mercenary, but damsel can't help but cough violently. It took a long time for her face to pale raises head, and she gasped and asked, "Archduke of Lantolian?"

"Ike also has a title, Count of Merak, this is a title of possession." Brando narrowed his eyes, "I'm afraid he doesn't even know it."

"This is ..." Amandina couldn't help asking: "Related to the political struggle eleven years ago? By the way, Archduke of Lantolian's son is not already missing --"

She suddenly shut up and looked at Brando with a strange look.

"Lord Thane, how did you know so clearly."

"Public secret forget it/that's all." Brando opened the mouth of the river.

"So, this is ..."

"It is still an open secret. Aouine already is not the Aouine in the past. Its high-level already is too old to be repaired. Even go one step further and already are sick." Brando looked at the damsel and intentionally said these words in front of her. .

"It's not just us who perceives this. You are optimistic, Amandina Young Lady. Within three months, this country will be torn apart. What you see now is just the struggling forget it/that's all before it was temporary."

Although these words are not inconsistent in this world, the ambitions contained in them are still obvious.

"Can the Corcova dynasty be saved?" Amandina asked, still thinking about the name that had brought glory to Aouine.

"Maybe there is." Brando thought of Princess-Regent.

"What should we do, Lord Thane?" Amandina interrupted his thinking and asked in a low voice.

"Let's find Sage's Stone Tablet first." Brando watching the undulating mountains -- mountains intersect with each other, forming dark silhouettes -- with different layers in the night, but the eyes of youngster seem to be able to pass through these obstacles, as if he were already Seeing that goal, he answered concisely and forcefully.

youngster has taken everyone to the top of the mountain. The wind rushes forward and suddenly becomes a lot larger, as if the flowing air from the southern mountain stream whistled through the forest and lifted his cloak.

Brando sniffed the smell of the wind. He stared at the dark, quiet valley on the other side of the hillside, and a little flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then this surprise turned into nature. These guys still didn't joke with me -- "

When everyone else heard the exclamation, they all stared at him.

"Have you seen the valley below?"

"Any questions?" Romaine asked curiously.

"En ..." Brando reached out a hand from under the cloak, his index finger pointed at the valley -- far away, but looking in the direction he pointed, the crowd only saw the forest spreading along the mountain walls on both sides It's just a dark carpet. But youngster turned back, a light flashed in his eyes: "Have you heard of the altar?"

"Altar?"

"If it's an altar," Romaine replied solemnly: "When I was a kid, I saw the altar in the temple of Yan with my aunt, was it like that?"

"Naturally."

"Then 'lair', you should have heard it?"

Everyone is silent, this is natural.

"There should be a lair in that valley."

"What?"

The Mercenary Captain standing behind him was startled, and everyone knew that lair was the war potential of a country. However, few people understand that except for the artificial creature lair, wild lair is a dangerous restricted area of ​​--. In fact, humans often pay a great price to purify a lair.

"How many lair is that?" he asked immediately.

"Don't be nervous," Brando signaled him to be quiet. He looked at the whole valley and paused. "It's a Altar of Order. If I read it correctly, it's Holy Cathedral of Truth."

"Altar of Order?"

"Have you heard of Heaven's Gate?"

mercenaries took a sip of cold air, Mercenary of Lopes came from Kingdom of Knights Grace, naturally understand what this term signifies. ‘Tiger Sparrow’ saw a puzzled Amandina and Romaine, and then whispered: “Angel of Thrones.”

Amandina ‘ah' made a sound, and immediately looked at Brando with an unbelievable face; Kingdom of Knights Grace was less than one-fifth the size of Aouine's, but its combat power was the highest in Church of Light countries. For no reason, Correct had two Vaunde continent On top-notch legion.

Knights of Fanaticism and Throne of Splendour Legion.

In the last Holy War, Aouine, which is a subordinate force of Holy Cathedral of Fire, did not eat less of the losses of these two armies.

'Tiger Sparrow' also looked at him a little bit strangely, stuttered and asked: "Lord Thane, you mean, there is an Heaven's Gate in the valley?"

Brando shook his head immediately. Jokingly, there is a Heaven's Gate in this valley that he can find by turn. Heaven's Gate is also called the angel's step. The creature born from it is Construct 'Throne Angel', which is known as the strongest fighting force of the bright forces. And whenever there is a Heaven's Gate within a hundred miles, there will be an abnormal sign, such an obvious sign, unless the local Holy Cathedral of Fire braindead has reached the limit, otherwise he will not be able to take a share.

"No, there is just an Altar of Order similar to Heaven's Gate," Brando replied.

"Similar?" Mercenary Captain for a moment, although he is the most legendary mercenary concept collection in history, but after all is not a knowledgeable Scholar. The major creature lair in this world are in the hands of those in power or local large nobles. Most people have only heard relevant rumors. However, it should be said that most people have neither this qualification nor this opportunity.

"You mean, it was lair sheltered by Mother Marsha?" Amandina keenly grasped the meaning of Brando's.

Brando is stunned. Although he clearly has the concept in his mind, he still can't help but use the game when he speaks. It can only be said that in terms of quest / mission and plot, the Sophie's personality has always taken the initiative.

He smiled bitterly and nodded.

"That would be a big discovery, too," ‘Tiger Sparrow’ said immediately. Because wild lair is too difficult to purify, transforming a lair infected by Mana is often not overnight. The whole process sometimes takes up to ten or twenty years.

But the creature lair sheltered by Marsha is different. It is a gift from God to the world. The order creature born in it is an intelligent ally born ally. Often only with daily expenses and very little remuneration, the master of lair can get a powerful army from Altar of Order.

So in any country, as long as you file any Altar of Order to Holy Cathedral of Fire, you will almost immediately get a territory with rich output, close to three to four knight's shire.

Also it is a hereditary territory.

Thinking of this, Amandina, who has always been calm, has become very hot. She looks at Brando.

But Brando waved his hand: "You think more, it's just an abandoned altar."

"Abandoned?" Amandina froze, but then asked: "How do adults know?"

Brando didn't answer. He already knew that there was a Altar of Order in this direction, but he didn't know the exact location. And with his experience, it is not yet possible to determine this at this distance, then he was really lived in vain before.

He once joined Kingdom of Knights Grace as a player, even until he came to this world. Therefore, he is too familiar with the sacred and quiet Aura permeated in a certain range around Altar of Order.

Also, a light screen popped up in his field of view to remind him that he was in the 'Sanctuary' range.

As for why he knew it was ‘abandoned’, was n’t it written on strategy guide?

...

Pedestrians descended into the valley. The hillside on which they slid down before seemed to cut off all sounds on the other side. Silent in the valley, you can't even hear the most common bugs throughout the summer.

By starlight walking in the lacquer Black Forest, there is no obvious road in the woodland between the valleys; everyone walks in the rugged, mossy forest, looking around, and occasionally can see the fluorescence of flashes in the dark.

Those are fireflies, or just the eyes of animals.

Amandina and Romaine already is not the first time to hurry at night, so although nervous, it is not too scared. Mercenary of Lopes is even more at ease, if the legendary mercenaries born and dying will be afraid of black, it would be too funny to say it.

It's just that the environment here does feel a bit unusual.

"This altar was not actually what I found." Brando said through the dim starlight that some artificially carved rock fragments gradually appeared on the ground in the criss-crossed, mossy forest floor.
