Scene 357 Requiem VII

Although he was curious about why the caveman appeared in this underground ruin, Brando calmly put down this curiosity and buried it. He silently glanced at the direction where the caveman left, and he inevitably wondered maliciously in his heart whether they would be torn to pieces by the furious mother of spiders, but that was all, and then he calmed down his nerves Nervous, he turned his head and gestured to the others to let the team move on.

In consideration of the possibility of encountering enemies, no one spoke anymore, but lowered their footsteps. The rustling sound traveled through the dark underground, making the surroundings feel quiet and peaceful. But this is just the appearance. Everyone understands the danger lurking beneath the surface. Although the knights are not familiar with the creatures from the dark underground, they have at least heard of their hearing that is generally different from ordinary people.

Nobody wants to get in trouble at this time—

The cracks in the rock wall began to narrow, but gradually there were periods of artificial tunnel interludes. Ancient ruins appear frequently on this part of the journey, and it feels like these broken walls are interspersed between natural rocky walls. The subsidence of faults caused by earthquakes often leads to such results, but the powerful magical power in the magical world can also create the same scene - Brando carefully observes the surrounding scenery soaked in darkness quietly - He doesn't need to guess all this himself, because past players have already discussed it.

In fact, there are players who are obsessed with exploring the history and background of the game no matter where they are. They tirelessly dig out the other side under the cold rules of the game, looking for the details of those masterminds.

They have indeed achieved a lot. "Amber Sword" is undoubtedly an excellent game. It has countless history and details. It is so complicated that it is impossible to believe that this is really a game. Those histories strictly follow the laws of history, and suddenly they can achieve perfect self-consistency. Players rarely find loopholes, just like a real world.

Brando himself has read many such documents, but he is not a so-called plot party or background lover. He simply felt that some tasks related to the ancient times in the game were closely related to the background, and knowing more would help him better realize his game goals.

He considers himself a centrist, but it seems that because of this, he has not been considered the top first-line player. Although he puts in far more time than others.

But since he traveled to this world, this experience and knowledge, whether it is game or background, has provided him with an amazing advantage. He led the team forward through the fragmented tunnel for more than ten minutes, and then Babasha stopped in one place.

Before that, Brando felt that they had walked into a smaller hall, which was completely made of blue granite. This feature is very distinct in the game, and it is precisely because of this that he found such a name from his vague memory-Losom Meditation Hall.

The reason why it is said to be blurry is because this place does not occupy a very conspicuous position in this copy in the game. This was supposed to be a side hall in this underground ruins, a place for its residents to meditate and pray. In fact, there is a fountain on the side of the granite hall, and there is a statue on the fountain, but unfortunately it has already collapsed. I can't tell which god it is.

Brando looked in that direction subconsciously, and he saw the fountain in his memory, but the spring had dried up.

There are only sinks that look like layers of stairs. In "Amber Sword", this place should provide players with a temporary rest place, because such large-scale dungeons in the game are generally not huge dungeons, and players may have to stay in the dungeon for a few days or even longer. It takes a long time, so designers must design some places for them to rest offline.

The underground ruins of Ampersel are divided into two parts, the upper level is the ancient temple, and the lower level is the lair of the Mother of Spiders. The scale of this dungeon is not the largest that Brando has ever seen, so it only has two rest houses, one in the direction of going deep into the Hellek Mountains in the north, and the other is this.

Because of this, Brando could barely remember the name of this rest house. If it was replaced by those large and super-large ruins in the later stage of the game, there are dozens or hundreds of rest places in a dungeon. It is strange that he can remember the name of such an ordinary rest point.

However, this palace has long been studied by the pioneers, and every inch of its ground has been printed with the footprints of players. Witches, black tower wizards, star warlocks and even dwarven rune mages, all background-related professions have been tried and tested here, and there can no longer be any secrets here.

So Brando couldn't help looking at the old witch Babasha curiously, wanting to see what tricks she could conjure up. A secret that players in the Land of Order haven't discovered yet, just putting this title in his world is already an explosive news——

Then he saw Babasha walking towards the fountain, and couldn't help frowning. As the only conspicuous and iconic decoration of this meditation sanctuary, it naturally received the most attention from the players. Players have even taken down the fountain and opened up the wall behind it, but to no avail.

"Is there something here?" Under the trend of curiosity, he couldn't help asking. "But there should be no mechanism here, just an ordinary wall."

"Your Excellency's eyes are burning," Brando would probably have thought it was a disgusting flattery if he didn't know the meaning of Babasha's words. However, the faces of many Lantonilan knights inevitably showed hesitation, and Her Royal Highness also frowned, but more than half of her frowns were doubts.

Saying so, Babasha had already walked to the fountain. She explained respectfully: "My lord, you are very accurate. There is indeed no mechanism behind the wall here, and there is no secret passage behind it. But for us witches, does this pool itself record something?"

"oh?"

"Your Excellency must be very clear that before the statue on the pool was damaged, it was the icon of Odin, the Dragon of Darkness. This place has a great relationship with us witches, but not every witch has the ability to unravel it." The secret here." Babasha replied mysteriously.

Brando frowned when the old hag mentioned the Dark Dragon. However, there have been discussions on the forum, and there is also a possibility that this statue may come from before the Battle of the Saints. Although there is not much history before that, the Dragon of Darkness once ruled the land. His statue is here. Not surprisingly.

He nodded, and when he heard Babasa mention that 'not every witch has the ability to unlock the secrets here', he subconsciously turned his gaze to the sugar bowl who looked dispirited—that little girl, the witch, since she cast the spell Since then, he has always looked limp, as if he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. It is said that she will continue to look like this for a while, and she can only cast the spiritual spell like just once a day-but the reason why Brando looks at each other is because of his long-standing suspicion.

He doubted that the Sugar Bowl was the purest descendant of the witches who lived and died.

As we all know, each of the twelve branches of witches has only one descendant with the purest bloodline. It seems that the inheritance of the witch queen is now on Roman, and he once suspected that Roman's aunt, Aunt Jenny, is the inheritor of the eternal witch inheritance.

Seeing his eyes, Babasha admired him even more. "As expected of the Lord Dragon of Darkness," Brando heard such a voice in his heart, and the old witch smiled with satisfaction. "Indeed, the Sugar Bowl is needed here."

Brando thought sure enough, but asked again: "Is she okay?"

"What are you talking about?" Princess Griffin couldn't help asking when she heard them playing riddles again; her tone was slightly dissatisfied, and there is no doubt that Her Royal Highness did not like the feeling that Brando put her aside like this , She told herself in her heart that she should be Aruin's eldest princess and should have more active rights.

But in fact, it was difficult for the half-elf girl to admit that she just vaguely didn't want Brando to treat her as an outsider. She faintly felt that Brando was different from ordinary nobles. The people gathered around him had formed a force completely different from the ancient nobles in the kingdom. The students are slightly similar, but not identical.

The young people of Wangli Knight Academy inherited her confusion. Together with her, they seemed to be able to walk one step at a time in an invisible net. She could feel that kind of despair. But people like Caglis and Antitina she saw were full of confidence in the future, as if they already had a definite goal.

In any case, this was enough for Her Royal Highness to notice the difference between the forces around Brando and the traditional nobles. That seems to be what she has always yearned for, because of all these appearances, she has faintly begun to reject the original power structure of the kingdom-nobles like Makaro, Lewoods, or Grand Duke Anlek, and instead hope to join the Burundi By Lando's side, even if not as a princess.

She has such an impulse, but Griffin will never admit it. She even had a contradiction that she herself was ashamed to talk about.

Therefore, Her Royal Highness kept a cold face and locked the secret in her heart, not revealing a word. She looked at Brando and Babasa with silver eyes, as if to get an explanation she wanted.

Brando's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the old witch. Babasha didn't take it seriously, and smiled dryly: "It's actually very simple, Your Highness, this pool is actually a teleportation array."

"Teleportation array, it's impossible!" Brando replied immediately. He has ten thousand reasons enough to convince him that this is nonsense, the reason being that the players have discussed this long ago, but found nothing. He has a kind of blind trust in the information that later generations are ahead of this world, and those guys will never make mistakes on such a naive question again.

"Your lord is right. This is indeed impossible to be a teleportation array. But in fact it does leave some kind of message that allows us to have a teleportation array immediately." Babasa was not in a hurry, but rather replied appreciatively.

Brando was startled slightly, and then his eyes lit up. "You mean, this fountain is actually a drawing of a teleportation array?" He immediately asked.

"Exactly."

"This teleportation array won't require witches to use special methods to draw it? Wait, this is not enough, blood refining, I understand!" Brando suddenly reacted, and suddenly realized: "The blood of the sugar bowl can be drawn Get out of this teleportation array, right?"

"It's exactly as you expected." Babasha looked completely convinced. But Brando didn't bother to take care of her anymore, he yelled in his heart, "Damn", these grandchildren are absolutely dead. The designer of "Sword of Amber" is simply a bunch of scum. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. This is obviously a series of quests. To open the third part of the underground ruins of Amber Sear, it is obvious that the witch needs to be opened. reputation.

But the problem is, there are Cruz people, wind elves, and Eruin people in the game, but there are no Miner people. Even Madara, who was originally a follower of the Dark Dragon, looked at odds with the witch. The only place where the witch had the best reputation was probably the underground of Jogendigang, but unfortunately there was no player influence there.

In other words, if you want to open up the prestige of witches, you have to take the risk of going against the 'government'. Although it is better than participating in a cult organization like the Return of Everything, it is basically the kind that is not welcome.

It's not that no players choose such a path, but the question is how many are really successful? How many of them happened to meet the Witch of Life and Death after success?

There are even rarer ones who have entered the dungeon of Amber Sear's underground, which was originally an early dungeon in Aruin's territory. Later, it was not occupied by Madara. You must know that although Madara was once on the same front as the witch, but later became a life and death enemy because of the Dragon of Darkness.

There is hardly a single well-known witch in Madara, which can explain a lot of problems.

Because of this, no one in the previous game discovered the secret here. Everything seems to be taken for granted, but Brando thinks that the designers are really a bunch of perverts. The purpose of game design is to let players solve the puzzles, but in his opinion, the puzzles in this ancient ruins are obviously infinite. solution.

If there is no his crossing.

But now this unsolvable question finally has an answer. It doesn't take much blood to draw a teleportation array, let alone slaughter the sugar bowl for a blood sacrifice - if a kingdom needs to kill a little girl to save it, Brando would rather go another path that is bound to fail.

And he believed that Her Royal Highness would support him.

In fact, the eyes conveyed by Her Royal Highness also meant the same. However, she showed greater curiosity about whether such a teleportation array can be used in other places. This statement has aroused great interest for Brando. Indeed, a teleportation array that can be temporarily drawn to take effect, even if it can only teleport ten A few people, but this thing is also more practical than the so-called Flame Door in the Temple of Fire.

After all, it's cheaper and easier to build. You must know that the Flame Gate looks like the Temple of Flame was built in minutes, but the result of the joint efforts of more than 20 elements of the temple, not to mention the astronomical amount of money spent .

If it weren't for the jihad, Brando estimated that even if he killed the temple, he would not be willing to throw himself into the Flame Gate for a mere civil war in Eruin.

There is nothing embarrassing about this. No matter how important the geographical location is, Eruin is an insignificant existence in the eyes of the whole. The only difference is how much it takes to appease its nobles, that's all.

But what made the two of them feel sorry was that Babasha said that this teleportation array was a directional teleportation array with fixed coordinates. In the past, its designers may have the ability to design similar teleportation arrays to other places, but this does not mean that they can.

The technology of the inhabitants of the ruins has long been lost to the dust of history, and what the witches have inherited is only a drop in the bucket.

Such a result can be said to be expected, and Brando is not too regretful. He comforted Her Royal Highness, but he just kept this teleportation array in his heart. This thing is also a magic circle, and it is also a work of alchemy. Maybe the alchemy masters under him can improve it in the future?

Don't forget that his subordinates have a future, possibly the most famous alchemy master Tamar in all of Warnd, and according to Tamar, Antitina also uses talent that is not inferior to or even surpasses his—although it is in the magic world. Design and manufacturer of guiding machinery. But with the existence of these two powerful parties, Brando felt that anything was possible.

He silently memorized the magic circle, over there Babasha and the sugar bowl had already drawn a huge magic circle on the ground. Although the magic circle needs blood from the sugar bowl, it is not all drawn with blood. Otherwise, it is estimated that even if the little girl witch drains all the blood from her body, she may not be able to finish the painting.

The witches do not allow outsiders to visit their process of making the magic circle - although Brando is an exception. However, Brando already had a faint feeling of Her Royal Highness's thoughts, so he didn't bother to watch a few old women draw maps. Anyway, he also knew what was going on. He might not be as good as Babasha in terms of alchemy, but in terms of blood refinement Technology, it is estimated that no one present here can surpass him as a player.

You must know that Tamar's blood refining technique was taught by him.

As soon as the magic circle was completed, everyone stood in the magic circle. Then the witches stood at the predetermined position and began to chant. What they sang was almost the same as in the forest before. It seemed that it should be a specific ancient rune here, like a password to open the door. Also part of the heritage of witches.

The singing had just begun, and Brando felt the surrounding scenery blur. He felt Her Royal Highness gently grabbing his sleeve, but immediately let go. His eyes blurred, and then he arrived at a completely strange place.

He looked up.

At that moment, he held his breath.

He suddenly realized that he had forgotten a very important thing. That is, before heading to this place, I didn't ask: "Babasha, have you been here before?"

This dry sentence was almost squeezed out of Brando's teeth.

Everyone—including the witches raised their heads dumbfounded.

They all stared wide-eyed and looked up the hall. "No... my lord." Babasa swallowed, this was probably the only time she showed anything other than a dry smile since she entered this underground ruins.

It was a huge hall.

In the center of the hall, above the dome.

A spear that radiated lightning in all directions was suspended in midair. The pattern of stars falling to the ground is painted on the blade of the gun, and the crooked characters on the body of the gun are exactly the characters of the Miner people. On it is written the most famous adage in Cruz's epic poem from ancient times to the present:

'The spear pierced the sky, and the stars fell—'
