Act XIV - Girant's Tomb

Act 14: The Tomb of Guirandre ()

When Freya and the two disappeared completely, Brando also calmed down. Unlike sneaking into a pasture from another direction and using the cover of a beautiful forest, from here to the bushes below, you almost have to bear the burden of a forest.

The sight of the entire team of skeleton soldiers.

Taking risks is essential, but there is no need to take unnecessary risks. He decided to wait until it gets later in the day before taking action. Although the undead can look directly at the energy of life, their search range is also limited at night.

But Brando was not without work. He was observing the patrol patterns of the skeletons below. Soon he found a gap in the opponent's patrol. About between the two scattered teams passing by, he could get

An interval of ten seconds.

He looked at the terrain - there was a distance of twenty meters from here to the bushes below. He had only two levels of dexterity, but when he was weak, his attributes could not be fully activated. He had to complete a four-level task within ten seconds.

Walking ten meters back and forth to dig out the key buried under the tree seemed like an impossible challenge.

He decided to find another way.

The sky quickly darkened.

It's time to take action. He said to himself in his mind, his whole body melting into the dim environment, but in fact he was so nervous that his heart was beating fast.

This is a game where you are risking your life. What other game has a more exciting death penalty than this one?

He stared down with bated breath and silently counted fourteen times - just the time it took for the two pairs of skeletons to pass by each other. Then he first threw his sword in that direction. This was the first step.

Twenty meters away, the sword was thrown into the soft leaves and made a soft clang. Brando waited in fear for a long time. When the second patrol passed by for the second time, he was relieved and confirmed that everything was normal.

Next was the focus of the plan. Brando counted silently for the second time, and when the two teams of skeletons passed by each other for the third time, he took a sharp breath and rushed out. At that time, his mind was almost blank and he could not think.

, there is nothing to worry about, there is only one goal - that is speed, speed up.

Three seconds.

Brando arrived and let out a long breath. He squatted down, dug away the fallen leaves, grabbed his sword and started digging, but the efficiency was very slow, much beyond his expectation. As he dug, he counted silently in his mind, one,

Two, three.

Six seconds.

He gave himself an extra second, then dropped his sword and started running back. The scenery around him was almost moving at lightning speed. He suddenly got into the bushes and stopped, feeling that his heartbeat was about to stop.

The skeleton soldiers passed by each other for the fourth time, but did not find his presence. Brando took a deep breath, feeling that the excitement made his hands and feet weak, but the accelerated secretion of adrenaline also made him unable to help it.

Get deeply excited.

Then he retracted and continued to wait for the second round. Brando calmed down a lot in the second attack, but this time it was also in vain.

The third time he only dug for two seconds because he already felt his physical strength drop obviously. Then the fourth time, he finally came into contact with the cold square foreign object under the soil. Brando had never seen this thing before.

, but at this moment his heartbeat still increased uncontrollably.

This is it.

Brando felt certain in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't help but want to dig this thing out, but he knew that there was not enough time. He took a breath to calm down, put down his sword, and ran back.

The fifth time, Brando had completely calmed down. He ran to the tree, picked up the sword and started to pry the square stone slab. The thing immediately became loose, but at this time Brando's ears

Moved - wait, the sound is wrong, the patrol route of the skeletons below has changed.

Impossible! Our protagonist feels cold in his heart. He doesn’t know if God is playing this malicious joke on him. Madara’s skeleton soldiers lack basic wisdom. It is impossible for them to adjust their patrol plans on their own, unless there is someone behind it.

The corpse witch's intention - but the corpse witch will not change his original intention without any reason.

Unless there is an external invasion.

Brando's past experience in the game became extremely clear at this moment. He couldn't help but glance in the direction of the pasture. Could it be that Freya and Essen were exposed? But looking down from the hillside, everything was calm in that direction. The young man

This idea was immediately overturned.

The footsteps of the skeleton soldiers behind him became closer, and those monsters should have seen him. Brando felt that his blood had coagulated, what should he do? Below are six skeletons, any one of them can be used

Put him to death now.

Use the Wind Queen Ring? No, not to mention that too much sound will cause trouble. With the size of the wind bullet, it is already very good to hit three skeletons. What to do with the rest?

Brando felt that his scalp was getting more and more numb. He kept reminding himself to stay calm and think about what he usually does at this time in the game. By the way, taking advantage of it, every attribute point in the player's hand is related to

All skills can be used to survive in desperate situations.

Just use your imagination.

He immediately thought of a possibility, but this crazy idea also frightened him. This is not a game, Brando, can you afford that price? He couldn't help but ask himself, but the skeleton soldiers were getting closer and closer.

, he must make a choice.

He took a breath and immediately pierced the long sword across his abdomen.

The tearing pain came from the abdomen, and the intense feeling was ten thousand times more intense than in the game. Brando groaned and almost fell to his knees. He felt that he was going crazy, and big beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

Emerged, but at the same moment, the clicking footsteps of the skeleton soldiers also stopped.

Successfully, the unyielding skill had an effect, and it deceived those skeletons without wisdom.

Brando did not dare to neglect. He endured waves of dizziness and pulled out the sword. Although he had deliberately avoided the vital point, the blood spurted out and spread all over the floor. The young people did not dare to look at it. He almost

With difficulty breathing, he used his sword to pry out the square stone slab, then turned around and slid all the way down the hillside.

He had five minutes to save himself, and his life and death hung on a thread.

The soul fire inspired by the unyielding skill supported him as he stumbled all the way to the village. However, Brando was startled as soon as he entered the village. There were pieces of snow-white skeletons everywhere among the ruins of the building - those brand-new

The skeletons are the work of corpse witches. Under the influence of summoned souls, they crawl out of the cemetery, or tear their flesh and crawl out.

Under the gradually darkening sky, these white skeletons gave people a huge sense of depression. Fortunately, Brando was well-informed, otherwise he would have collapsed from fear.

He calmed down and counted the number. He saw more than fifty. This was not a small number. It meant that Madara's aggressive strength was growing with their progress. But the only thing that made people worried was

Fortunately, Brando knew that the combat effectiveness of these thin skeletons was not on the same level as their darkly refined counterparts.

Even slightly worse than an ordinary adult man.

Brando moved forward while watching. His goal was the small temple in the village, which should be in the due north - if his memory was not confused. Among the many disadvantages caused by death, there is always one advantage, and that is the street.

The undead wandering around the world all regard him as the same kind. Even if Brando bumps into these headless guys, the latter will probably adjust his balance and move on.

This is huge good news.

With this advantage, it only took him more than three minutes to find the temple of Kalidas - but it seems that the undead in Madara don't have much respect for the god of pottery in the game, because

They have already collapsed one of the walls of this shrine.

This provided Brando with a lot of convenience. He touched directly along the wall. It was pitch dark inside and he couldn't see his fingers. Brando remembered that this temple was later rebuilt, but after groping inside for a while, he found that

The internal environment was still the same, and he quickly found the way to the meditation room by relying on his memory.

To his surprise, there was a wandering skeleton in the meditation room. This shocked Brando in the dark. Fortunately, his nerves were tough enough. But he calmed down quickly and tried to take a deep breath.

Comfort yourself that this is just a puppet without any intelligence.

But breathing has become more and more difficult, and his vision has begun to become blurry. He still has almost one minute left.

Brando recalled that the entrance to the secret passage should be behind the podium. He groped there and found the square depression. At that moment, he really felt like Martha was on top, and he was almost trembling.

He kept pressing the stone slab in, fearing that God would play another malicious joke on him.

Fortunately, there was first a soft click in the dark silence, then a second sound, then a muffled sound from the ground, and finally a crash, and he felt a breeze blowing from behind.

Brando turned around and saw the downward tomb passage at a glance - there was light inside, and the walls of the passage were inlaid with purple shimmer crystals. This thing was not valuable - but the light was too dim, so it was not

widely used.

He shook his head, and the dizziness almost knocked him down. This is not the case in the game - the player will not feel any discomfort within the five minutes when the Unyielding skill in Amber Sword takes effect, but when the time is up, you

Even a man with nerves as tough as a cow would fall immediately.

Brando was almost relying on his own will to hold on, and his desire to survive prompted him to grit his teeth and move forward. As he walked, he recalled the origin of this tomb passage - the Templar knight buried here was a famous NPC

, that man was called Girende or something, he was a local born here, he participated in Eruin's War of Independence, and lived an upright life. After his death, people buried him back to his hometown according to his request during his lifetime.

It is said that this place used to be a forest, and later a temple was built on it. The people of the Temple of Fire modified the tomb of the Templar Knight so that he could sleep forever in the peace of the Kingdom of God. And what Brando is looking for is

The sword called the Thorn of Light was also the weapon used by the knight during his lifetime. The young man had no intention of disturbing the peace of the deceased, but he must not have wanted the undead to wreak havoc in his homeland.

The young man gradually began to pant. He struggled to hold on to the wall of the tomb passage and advanced twenty or thirty meters. The end of his sight gradually became brighter - such a long-lasting soft white light must be the effect of some high-grade shimmering gemstone.

, Brando refreshed himself and realized that he was close to his goal.

But before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a black shadow suddenly fell from the ceiling, and two steel claws grabbed his shoulders and suddenly lifted him up.

Brando felt a huge force penetrating through his limbs, like two iron ropes holding him immobile. He immediately realized that this was an absolute gap in strength. This power had at least four energy levels. He

Horrified, his experience in the game immediately made him realize what it was - a gargoyle. The guy who completed the mission before never said that there was a gargoyle in the tomb passage.

The gargoyle is the masterpiece of Buga Craftsman Wizard. It is a level 23 monster. Compared with it, the lower-level corpse witch becomes a gentle baby.

Before Brando could finish thinking about it, he felt himself rising into the sky. It was a foggy feeling - he felt that he had flown over a long distance, and then his back hit the cold tomb heavily.

On the wall, all the bones in his body groaned, as if they were breaking apart.

But our hero had no intention of worrying about this at the moment. He got up and shook his head, and saw that the gargoyle was already chasing after him like a ghost.

Is there still a chance?
