The Amber Sword: Act 47 The long road, the past fragment I

(.) Go north through the Kurk Fort, the capital of the province of Golan-Elsen, and enter its intersection with Lantolian and Viero. Since the year of revelation was established for Hardinger Count, the shallow water town has been quiet for centuries. Located on the west bank of Lake Warren. (Search Wo ..)

The coniferous forest that Golan-Elsen stretches to the north presents a completely different scene. There is a large area of ​​cedar in the woodland. Although it is near the summer season, the treetop is thrown away when the horses cross the forest road. Frost.

The closer to the town of Shallow Water, the more so-called 'late spring' signs in the northern part of Viero become apparent. The hot summer can not be found here, but the signs of the recovery of all things are coming late in this area.

The air in the forest is still wrapped in the coldness at the end of winter, and the sky is gray and stuffy, as if mountain people is in charge of the sky. deities Gister stirs a layer of lime above the clouds; Brando sits Looking up on the horse's back, the forest was bare, and the thin branches between the trunks were like spider webs reaching out to the sky. The buds issued in the new year were also covered with a thin layer of fluff. At the end of the previous year The remaining dead leaves hung quietly under these tender buds, and looked far away from the dryness shaking slightly in the cold wind.

But this is not Month of Recovery, but the scene of hot August in late summer.

This wonder is so amazing that everyone in the team is tut tut. It is obviously Month of Flowing Fire in time, but it seems like a turn of winter and spring here. Philas was riding the horse at the front of the team, and sighed tut tut said, "Is the scenery like that caused by the so-called Frosted Forest?"

His loud voice echoed repeatedly in the forest. The gray deer in the forest startled, which made the front guides unhappy. According to legend, in the forest, those Holy Spirits who like quietness are unlucky. These noble children are so ignorant and reckless.

However, these local hunters are not so concerned with the noble theory for such a thing, so they can barely cope with each other along the way.

For Philas, the good-fortune Mr. Knight from Kirrlutz Empire has now finally got rid of his status as a prisoner, and his ten-day prison life can be regarded as boring. However, he did not care about the previous experience, only if it was a misunderstanding. This open-minded character made him win the favor of everyone, because after being released from the cage, he was regarded as a guest.

But the other Delphine Young Lady was more stubborn, although she was eventually unable to be put in the water prison -- under the persuasion of Freya. Or maybe because he was not allowed to make enemies on all sides, Amandina secretly locked the prime minister's money in the upper layers of the black prison and separated it from other prisoners.

She was taken away by Veronica one week later. But before leaving, the lady didn't feel any remorse and broke through Brando curse.

For such a stubborn lunatic, Brando really has nothing to say. It can only be left to Veronica to handle. If the legion lady is smart enough, he thinks that she should be sent back to her country.

Philas looked around and suddenly tightened bridle to stop. He turned back and asked, "Lord Count, how far is it from Frosted Forest?"

Laluna frowned, Brando replied in one step: "It's still far. I checked the map. At least one week's journey,"

"So far!" Philas was surprised: "According to our itinerary, this is almost the distance from Floral Leaf Shire to Plain of Alfalfa. Is it equivalent to saying that the change in the four-leaf clover forest can affect the guy in Fina?"

He made a lame metaphor first, and then sighed: "It is possible to change the climate at this distance. Doesn't the center of Frosted Forest even freeze the trees into ice crystals --?"

"Almost," Brando replied. Although he has only been to Frosted Forest once, he is still impressed there. In addition, I saw a lot of related strategy guide later, so I can barely understand it.

Frosted Forest Although the name carries a forest, it is actually a glacier, or an ice cave. Those cold monsters are more than what he saw in Saers and Faanzan later.

"It's terrible," Philas can't help but fight the chill: "could it be that, we want to plunge into the snow-covered forest over there? Don't buy some warm clothing along the way?"

"already is here. Mr. Philas." Medissa rode unicorn behind Brando and replied with a smile. She also glanced at the only carriage in the middle of the team, which was full of supplies.

Little Prince was dispatched to run next to the truck, and worked with the hired local drivers to keep the carriage moving smoothly on the pothole road. Everyone heard him use crisp sound to face four horses there. The short-haired heavy horse in thick hair shouted, but the four beasts ignored him, and the eight eyes looked at him with a look of contempt.

This scene is really funny and sympathetic.

Fortunately, Halutz already began to get used to it, he raises head wiped a sweat, his face flushed, and he wore a brand new leather armor with his sword behind him. It looks like a young Knight who served as a servant to a big noble family. There is also the image of Little Prince in a previous Jinfu robe.

“Oh, I remember. "Philas is now stunned, and nodded to himself.

"Philas." Brando came back at this time, and asked, "Have you been winter hunting in your hometown? I heard that near the Barano area are the most well-developed areas of the empire, Pesa and Buddha Lier is a major business town. There are few such forests in your father's area. existence? "

"Lord Count is really knowledgeable." When someone heard about himself and his hometown, Philas immediately added a bit of affection to this Count of Tonigel. -- What's more, Brando was right, obviously he knew geography and humanities very well. He immediately opened the box: "Correct is like this, but I have not participated in winter hunting. On a few occasions, my father and I were invited to Floral Leaf Shire to participate in winter hunting held by Archduke of Floral Leaf. After all, winter hunting is a part of noble. A very important event is both a tradition and an important social event. I was there to meet -- of Laluna "

"so that's how it is." When Brando saw that Female Knight flushed, she knew that Philas was true. He also sighed in so that's how it is. It turned out to be a sweetheart. No wonder Philas can defeat many challengers and win the beauty. Coupled with this guy's character is really not bad, barely can be considered to have some personal charm, at least compared to noble sons and daughters, so no wonder Laluna will choose him.

He nodded on horseback. As if pretending to say unintentionally: "In fact, Mr. Philas can think of our operation as a hunting, but our opponent is more dangerous."

"Really?" Philas seemed to be in the spirit: "Did Lord Count say this, I seem to be eager to try."

"That's good." Brando smiled slightly, and when Ciel saw his Lord Thane smile, he understood that some people were about to fall into the pit. He couldn't help but glanced at youngster with some sympathy. Please. If Mr. Philas does not dislike it, the quest / mission that cleans the battlefield and organizes the loot will be handed to you. "

“Ah？ ”Philas showed an overjoyed look. In the etiquette of noble, only the most distinguished guests have the right to first contact and distribute prey. He never dreamed that the legendary Thane deserved him so much. -- must know that it is unlikely that the other party would care about his identity, because just half a month ago, Brando had mercilessly imprisoned him and the imperial prime minister. It is obvious that the name Kirrlutz Empire is in this Lord Count is worthless in the eyes. But because of this contrast, Correct feels somewhat flattered and replied with surprise: "Since Lord Thane carries love, then it is better to respect it. "

youngster for a moment is obviously being held by Brando a little unknowingly.

Laluna looked at the one's own fiance and couldn't help shaking his head. Then he looked up and said to Brando, "Thank you very much for your attention, Lord Count."

"it doesn't matter."

Brando looks polite and courteous on the surface, and the expression on his face is light and light. In fact, he was laughing and blooming in his heart. He brought this couple not to meet with Veronica, but in the final analysis, he liked the other party's luck as if he was the Marsha's own son. Compared with the luckiest Mr. Knight in the history of Kirrlutz, Flo's red hand is estimated to be nothing, --, not to mention that the sister in Wild Elf does not seem to be willing to help him with this.

He can almost imagine that already will have a lot of money in the future. If Philas is not the eldest son of Prince Kirrlutz Empire, he estimates that he will detain the other party permanently.

Of course he doesn't have that mind now.

With this conversation before Brando and Philas, the atmosphere in caravan immediately became harmonious, and the conversation gradually became more casual. However, Brando still notices an exception. He turned around and walked along the road with -- caravan with the voice of ding ding, the figure swelled, and the noon sunlight passing through the branches after noon dyed the whole woodland into a dreamy color. But among the people, Freya rode a horse at the very edge of the team, as if in a ** world, she lowered her head and looked at the slate in her hands.

It's a weather-stained slate with a brownish-yellow surface covered with coarse grains, similar to those of weathered granite on the Kelamasu Great Plain. On the front and back of the slate, a mysterious symbol was painted with white paint. The paint itself looks like lime that is very easy to fade, but it has been proved to be the opposite by wiping it with your hands. In addition to this, Freya has not changed from See above for any abnormalities.

She doesn't know why Brando gave this slate to her, and also said that this is what belongs to her. Someday she will find some inexplicable words like the above. But these days, slate is still slate, there is no change. The girl could not help frowning slightly, but there was no doubt in her heart that this was another Brando's prank, --. He always seemed to like to make fun of one's own.

But the girl from the Bucce countryside hesitated again and again, and eventually she was not willing to throw away the slate. What if it's true? This is what Brando gave her personally. For this reason, they also ran so far -- both of them.

Because of this, she was holding the stone with a little embarrassment. for a moment couldn't help it. He didn't even notice someone approaching her. Brando touched the elbow of this future Valkyrie from the side, "Freya?"

"Huh?" The familiar voice made the girl turn back with a stir. Startled and asked, "What's up, cloth, Brando?"

Brando frowns at this future Valkyrie. Of course her panic attitude cannot hide from anyone, "What are you thinking?"

"I ... I'm just trying to find out the secret of this stone, Brando, what exactly is this?" Freya's face turned red slightly, of course she was embarrassed to say that already had crooked before. Fortunately, the country girl was a little anxious. Busily holding up the slate in his hand, asked in doubt.

Brando glanced at the slate in her hand, which was called the key on some occasions in Amber Sword. But in fact, it is just an imitation of war slate. Most of these slabs of -- were spread among Miirna or older prehistoric civilizations to record the real war slate information.

But there are also some ancient secrets, some of which are information about history, humanities and war before War of the Holy Saints. Players unearthed many of these slate fragments that year. A large part of those background records about Tumen, Dragon of Darkness and War of the Holy Saints were deciphered by players through such text.

It's just that he gave Freya a very different piece of --

In game, this slate has deep roots with Freya.

In that turbulent history, -- Valkyrie, this title representing the recognition and praise of the strength of Freya is not the title given to this Valkyrie by Aouine's players, or even the title of the kingdom's self-proclaimed. Kirrlutz to Saers, even her enemies at Madara -- donated this title to her.

Of course, it's not just about personal charm. Most of these factors are due to the Valkyrie mark of Freya.

The mark on her forehead that looks like a holy flame, it will appear whenever Valkyrie is in a critical moment or when it is doing its best, with a huge light wing attached. In this state. The strength of Valkyrie tends to show a geometric progression.

About this symptom, it is said that it first appeared in a contest of Royal Knight Academy --. This is also a main reason why he insisted on letting Freya go to Royal Knight Academy. After that, the Valkyrie mark appears more and more frequently, and in the battle of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, it is obviously impossible to conceal this secret.

In the original history, the earliest outbreak of this power in Freya was announced by players in the first battle against the North. After that, the title of Valkyrie followed her. But beyond that, more players are looking for the hidden secrets.

The player who finally deciphered this secret was the player who found the slate. Brando even already still can't remember the id of that player, but clearly remembers the whole event.

That should be shortly after the second War of Black Rose. More and more copies of the war slate are widely found from all over the place, and players are spontaneously deciphering the content on the slate. same level's history of War of the Holy Saints is also becoming more and more clear to everyone.

But from this slate found from Trentheim, the players found have completely different records. It does not say about the history of the War of the Holy Saints era, nor does it describe a certain war or a myth, but it repeatedly mentions the Valkyrie mark existence.

And at the end of the slate, there is a vague reference to a method for activating Valkyrie blood vessels.

The player who found this slate initially thought it was a Quest Item with advanced blood, but after trying all kinds of methods and still couldn't get next step quest / mission content, he finally thought of the Aouine's Valkyrie. So he posted the one's own experience and the content of this slate to the forum. Soon after that, the slate was bought by others at a high price, and then he came to Freya.

Brando remember that it should be the year of silver of First Era, not long after that, the Aouine's Valkyrie has mastered the ability to enter the Valkyrie state freely.

-- until she died

But seriously, Brando doesn't actually know how to use this slate. He just learned the original location of the slate and some experiences after it based on the news circulating on the Internet.

But at least he is convinced that this is the thing, it will definitely have an effect on Freya. He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you believe me, Freya?"

"I ... Of course I believe in you, Brando." Freya took a moment's glance, and then seemed to understand the meaning of Brando's; she looked at the slate in her hands and nodded helplessly: "I understand, I will take it well Put away. "

"You don't have to think too much, maybe at some point, you will naturally discover its secrets." Brando grabbed the reins and kept pace with Valkyrie, but he could only comfort him with the troubles of Freya.

"Brando ... you speak more and more like Romaine's aunt."

"You said directly that I am more and more like psychic, I can accept it." Brando reluctantly replied.

Freya glanced at him and smiled slightly at him, "But it's good, you haven't changed at that time. Sometimes I'm so afraid that you will become noble, and it will no longer be that Brando." The girl from the Bucce countryside turned back and said quietly.

"I haven't changed, but you have changed," Brando nodded: "Become more mature."

"Where ... where?" Valkyrie blushed a bit.

"You couldn't say such a thing before, most of you would say, Brando, how did you become weird!"

"Brando ... you, you are too much ..."
