The Amber Sword: Act 144 witch Rebellion VII
In the hall of Valhalla tree, the hall is quiet for a while --
Amandina slowly lowered her hand, the prismatic crystal exuded a faint light in her palm, and Miss Adviser's eyes also exuded a dim light without saying a word. . . Her Highness the Princess watched her aside and asked softly: "What's wrong, what did Count of Tonigel say? Empire ... What's going on with Metz, are they Mr Count okay? Is the situation already irreversible?"
Amandina's eyes returned to clear for a moment, she seemed to return to her head, suddenly stunned: "What ...? No, nothing, Lord Thane. The situation on their side is okay, there are some minor accidents, but the situation is still Under control. "She said silently, and Brando rarely talked to her about her father, but had previously solemnly asked her about her father.
Amandina, there is one thing about your father. I want to talk to you. Are you familiar with your father's life? ’
‘Familiar? ’
‘I mean, your father was passionate about adventure, but do you know where he ’s been during his lifetime, I mean, what ’s weird? ’
‘It ’s heavy either, Lord Thane? ’
‘-- is very important. For now, Amandina, I suspect your father ’s death is not that simple. ’
Amandina was disturbed. She clenched crystal silently, and the sharp tip penetrated into the skin without any notice. The death of her father may not be an accident, but a conspiracy. Conspiracy, the word jumped in her mind, her childhood memories are very simple, when she lived with her family in Dendrobium -- was not a noble area, at most it was a place where the middle class lived in Bruglas city, childhood Life at home was pretty good, and it was a carefree time. In the impression, his father is a respected gentleman. People call him jazz. According to his mother's description, their origins are indeed noble. The family once had a glorious time. The ancestor was once the kingdom of Knight. And made great achievements.
But that's it.
My father is really keen on adventure. He spends most of his time outside. He has been to many places. Aouine has almost covered his footprints. He has even been to foreign countries such as Empire, Great Horned Deer Principality, etc. But to say exactly which places have been visited, Amandina is not clear, she remembers that her father especially liked to tell them the story of her travel. But because of a kind of rebellious psychology, she never deliberately remembered, just remembering that these travel diaries are not too special, nothing more than where they have been, what kind of beautiful scenery they have seen, and he has encountered danger on several occasions. , But they are very common things.
My father has a few friends, but most of them are not fixed. However, it is a relationship like a donkey friend, and it seems impossible to say what traps will be caught. I have to say that one's own father has something special. Amandina remembers that he seems to be particularly interested in collecting stones from various places. From agate, obsidian, chalcedony to all kinds of rough stones, he doesn't care about the value of these stones themselves. What's more, they are buried underground and see the sun again Process:
‘Nobody knows what a thrilling beauty hidden in these ugly stones, Amandina. They may be worthless or worth thousands of dollars, but they are not important. The important thing is that every stone, they are buried deep and they see the sun. They have witnessed a period of history. Compared with this long period of time, our life is just a short moment. ’
She remembers that her father is a devout believer in Gaia monk. This monk will not only believe in Marsha, but also believe in Marsha's slave god, the goddess of the earth Gaia. His father is keen to discover those buried in the land Gems are meant to feel the history and feelings of the earth contained in these stones. This was the beginning, but then there were some changes. Amandina suddenly remembered that one day, my father came to her with a gem she had never seen before:
'Amandina, this stone is called amber, I found it from a strange place, you look at its beauty, but it is more than just a gem, Amandina, you know, there are many gems in this world It contains the unimaginable Mana, and Amber is the best among them. ’
‘Mana? ’
‘It ’s the driving force of our world. With it, people can drive the Familiar method, soar in the sky, and even change the world. ’
‘With it, can I be wizard, Dad? ’
‘No, Amandina. For wizards, Magic is the privilege of a few people, but this stone is not the same. The Nazaires invented the Magicite device. This stone will eventually change our world. ’
‘This is -- Amber? ’
'Hehe, this is amber stone, Amandina, it is far from being amber, but it doesn't matter, these amber stone contain a huge secret, it is like a key, and one day we will meet To true amber, Amandina. "
‘Well, Dad. ’
Suddenly, a door opens in the dark, and memories flow like silent water.
Amandina slowly open your palm, lower your head, and the diamond-shaped crystal is shining in the gloom. This is a long-range projection crystal made of Mana Moonstone. It is a real Magic gem, but it is far away. Not as long as the amber stone that her father gave her in the afternoon that year was beautiful. The Magic gem is the crown among gems, and the amber is the brightest star on the crown.
Since then, my father has become increasingly obsessed with adventures, and he spends less time at home every time. Every time, he takes a lot of money from his home. The neighbor said in private that his father was With a lover outside, my mother became more melancholy day by day. Correct At that time, she gradually changed her impression of her father, from the original admiration, to resentment, to indifference, and finally seemed to forget such a person existence until Brando sent his death news to her.
At that time, Amandina felt that she didn't seem surprised at all, because sometimes, even she couldn't help wondering if her father had another woman outside, but Brando gave her at least a negative answer.
At least, he hasn't deceived them.
But that's not why she forgives him.
‘This stone is called amber. ’
‘It will provide endless power to the Magicite device. ’
‘Someday, it will change our world. ’
Amandina stands silently. The breeze blew in from the arch window of the hall of Valhalla tree, flipped the drawings on the desk, and the afternoon sun tilted into the hall, forming a ray of light column. Princess Gryphine looked at Miss Adviser's face and suddenly there were some glittering things, as if bead strings, crystal bright. After a while. Amandina sucked one breath deeply, retreat smiled, wiped his eyes and said, "Sorry, I'm out of shape, Her Highness the Princess."
"I'm sorry to say that," Her Highness the Princess looked at her a little puzzled: "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing, just think of my father."
"Sorry ..."
"Don't be sorry, Her Highness the Princess," Amandina smiled. Pear blossoms with rain: "Lord Thane has made us a little more vigilant during this period. The tide of Mana is approaching, and many abnormalities have occurred everywhere."
"It's true," Gryphine sighed. "But what really disturbs me is something else, Undeads is starting to get mad again."
Amandina is about to leave, and after hearing this, he stopped again: "Her Highness the Princess, royalist doesn't seem to be quite right."
"The reform of Trentheim hurts the interests of Dukes. But our power is far better than them, so don't worry about --"
Amandina seems to know this Princess again.
"What's wrong?"
"Her Highness the Princess. Those I told you last time, I hope you think about it."
Princess Gryphine flushed slightly: "I will seriously considered it."
...
Amandina's father is a believer in Gaia monk? The light of the projection crystal flashed twice, then dimmed, and Brando lowered his hand silently, and frowned. Gaia monk will? Is there such a church in Aouine, and it is still near Bruglas. Why has he never heard of it? There are many churches that believe in the goddess of Gaia at Aouine. Among them, Silver Lily Church and the Holy Cross of Gaiasut are more famous, but never heard of an organization called Gaia monk. existence. What is the cult of could it be that? But it doesn't look like it. Collecting stones is not uncommon.
Amandina's father found the amber stone in Swallowburg, but what can amber stone have to do with this thing? Brando took out the taupe stone tablet from the other pocket. This thing did not seem to be related to any rough stone. It was like some broken pieces of shale.
amber stone contains a huge secret?
Brando shook his head. It seems that Amandina's interest in Magicite devices still originated from her father, but whether her father was only interested in the endless power provided by Magic gems, or was he looking for other secrets, There is also the secret of this brown stone tablet, it is estimated that only God knows it. If even Amandina is not clear, the only clues remaining are estimated to be only those of her father's friends during his lifetime, and that strange Gaia monk.
Amandina said that her father didn't know many friends during his lifetime, and most of them were not fixed. This sounds like no problem, but it is strange to think about it carefully. If her father is just an noble who is keen on adventure, that's okay to say, but he is also a devotee of the Gaia monk society, then the question is -- his church members? could it be that, the so-called Gaia monk, is similar to some strange retreats in Aouine. Most members of the church do not know each other and never come and go.
It sounds like a cult.
It is a monster that is abnormal, and it seems that the clue is about to fall on it.
He stopped suddenly.
"Brando?" miss merchant is a little puzzled.
Brando This is the glimpse of one's own's thoughts. He raises head, his eyebrows frowned deeply, his eyes fell on the front and scanned what was left and right, one hand held the Count coat placket, the other hand reached into Among them, he quietly held Earth Sword with a icy hilt; beside him, Flo also frowned, holding a large roll of parchment paper in his left hand, extending his right hand, a silver Staff already emerged out of thin air and landed firmly on her. Hands.
"Manipulating dreams?"
There is an empty walkway ahead. This corridor connects the front hall. At this moment, the lights are bright and the torches are shining on the walls, but there is no one in the corridor, and there is a weird silence.
"Giggle, Lord Count is very keen." A sound of coquettish laughter rang and she clapped her hands gently. Four witchs in white robes appeared as if out of nowhere, suddenly emerged from the empty corridor, sealed Dead road. Between the two witchs in front, the air oscillated slightly, and a witch with a glorious age came out slowly.
This is a beautiful and mysterious woman. She has an impressive pair of lake blue eyes, and the diamond crystal on her forehead flashes a strange light.
She is also witch.
"Merrittra, the Isis eldest daughter -- faint Kouha believer, inherited witch in the month of the month of lies," witch smiled slightly, and this made everything lose its color. She lightly opened her lips and said, "Cheat witch, come Borrow Lord Count for the first use. "
"Lord Thane --!"
Brando reached out to stop Flo, who was looking for make a move, and signaled that she and Romaine stepped back. He raises head faced the five witch: "I heard that among the twelve generations of this generation that inherit witch, except Witch Queen, the strongest is Gimhae. The believer, witch in despair, followed by witch, the first fraud in December, Ms. Merrittra, presumably this one. "
"It is indeed a human who claims to be Dragon of Darkness inheritor and knows us quite well." Merrittra applauded with a smile.
"Self-confidence?" Brando shook his head: "I have never claimed anything about Dragon of Darkness, I have seen Odin, but it does not mean that I agree with him."
"Have you seen my king?" Merrittra raised a slight brow and immediately responded: "Yes, after all, there is a legacy of my king in your body, but it doesn't matter if you like or disapprove of my king's path , supreme one does not need the consent of mortals. "
"So, are you guys making trouble behind your back?"
"Oh," Merrittra laughed: "make a move is An Wei, witch of the Cup Moon is good at changing people's hearts, and those nobles are born with a ghost in mind, and my strength comes from integrity and wisdom, so I don't disdain These trivial matters are only a trifle after all, but the order and destiny of this world are indispensable. Do you understand, Lord Count? "
"So, you are your partner."
Merrittra frowned slightly, and the voice cooled down: "Have you ever figured out the situation, Lord Count, you have only just begun to enter Realm of Element. In my field, no one can save you." She Miao Turning around, his eyes fell on Romaine and Flo, and he grinned: "Your hope will not be those outside, oh, you can rest assured, in this fascinating dream we woven for you, must not Will alarm anyone, I will will let you die quietly. "
"so that's how it is, I understand about --"
Brando pulls out Earth Sword, hands to his right hand, sword tip is down, lightly touch the ground. He fought with his sword in one hand and grinned, "My head is here, so you can come and try."
