Brando glanced at the sharp mountain wall in the distance, and turned back to let Roman put on the spider web ring. He found that the merchant's eldest daughter's perception was surprisingly sensitive, and this ring could further strengthen her.
This ability.
Roman has been coveting this beautiful black and white patterned ring for a long time. He is naturally very happy at this moment, but he still asked curiously: "Is this also a magic ring, Brando?"
"Well, it allows you to hear more clearly. Pay attention to the ground and alert Freya if there is any movement. I will be back soon." Brando knew that in addition to the golden magic tree, there was another tree in the valley.
Stone Cone Worm, that thing also came from the earth elemental plane. It was a rare elite in the game. It suddenly appeared once and almost made him panic.
"Are there any other enemies?" the two girls asked together.
"It's possible, so you're prepared, right?" Brando was too embarrassed to pretend to be a prophet. The key was that it would be difficult to explain later, so he could only answer vaguely.
But Freya nodded with understanding, holding the sheathed sword tightly in both hands to protect Roman, and said: "I will protect Roman, please go back quickly."
"Huh?" Brando glanced at her in surprise. When had this girl been so cooperative? He felt a little at a loss, but it didn't look like there was any conspiracy - he hesitated.
He put down his backpack, dug out a roll of rope and a hook, looked at the two girls again, and then climbed out carefully.
"Freya, is it okay for Brando to go out alone?" Roman asked in a low voice.
"Brando has his own plans. We can't help him much. We can only let him not worry about this."
"Freya?"
Freya shook the long ponytail behind her head, with a serious look in her bright eyes. She was not admitting defeat, but her own strength could only do so much - the future Valkyrie seriously thought about herself.
The strength may not be enough. To become a captain, you must demand yourself more strictly.
She let out a breath, held the sword close to her chest, and made up her mind.
On the other side, Brando was carrying a rope and moving along the steep mountain wall. He should be still dozens of meters away from the gap in the stone wall in his mind. He couldn't help but take a breath and looked behind him, and
The Golden Demonic Tree and its demonic servants and descendants all rely on sound and magic power fluctuations instead of vision to find the target, otherwise his position would be very conspicuous.
He grabbed a protruding rock, and the gravel fell down along the gaps between the rocks, but the sound was nothing. He was only worried that it would make a big noise, so he tried to move as gently as possible.
There's still less than thirty meters to go, so it's almost over.
No more soul crystals were dropped along the way, but Brando knew that he had one last chance. There was a treasure in the gap in front - no, there are some treasures that are not correct. Although the player provides everything,
The secret places where resources are rewarded are called treasures, but he knows that the treasures there are actually some relics.
According to the plot in the game, about ten years ago, an adventurous young noble named Borg Nathan came to this canyon. He and his companions were separated during the attack of the demon tree people, and one person was lucky enough to survive.
He escaped and hid here, but in the end he was seriously injured and died.
He left behind the belongings and tokens he carried with him. With the tokens, he could go to Prague to complete a mission. Although the reward was meager, for Brando at that time, it was at least better than nothing.
But the property left by the little nobleman is very interesting, because it is random, and with good luck, anything can be found. Brando's best character was when he found an amber rough stone. Of course, he didn't expect it this time.
As long as this thing can produce soul crystals, it would be great, because in his memory, the probability of soul crystals being produced here is quite high.
He quickly crawled into the crevice. This rock crevice was actually very shallow, but it was difficult to find it from the outside. As soon as he touched it, he saw the skeleton of the unlucky nobleman leaning to the side. Surprisingly, every
Every detail was the same as in the game, and for a moment he almost had the illusion that he was still in the past world.
But Brando quickly calmed down. He carefully walked around the skeleton and his eyes fell on a small bag next to him. But he was slightly stunned because he saw a dusty sheet gently placed on the bag.
Dry and brittle parchment.
There is no such thing in the game.
He gently picked up the parchment and found that it was a suicide note with only a few paragraphs written on it:
'My dear Martha, I may die soon. If I die and someone is lucky enough to see this page of suicide note, I would like to legally transfer all my belongings to this person. In addition, I also have a secret ancestral property.
, I would like to divide this wealth into three parts, one part will be given to this person, one part will be transferred to my wife, Sadie, and the other part will be left to my daughter (the following words are unclear)...
If anyone who sees this suicide note is interested in this wealth, please pass this suicide note to my wife along with my token, and tell her 'date at the Baden Ball', she will understand what I want to express.
Finally, I'm sorry to Sadie, and I hope Lady Martha will punish me——'
After Brando finished reading, he couldn't help but be stunned. He became more and more convinced that he had never seen this thing before. The previous task line was just to remove the seal from the noble's finger bone and hand it over to the Citizen Registration Office in Braggs.
You will receive a bonus. The quest line ends here and there will be no further follow-up.
But what is the reason for this? Is it because this place is different from the game? Brando shook his head. He instinctively did not want to believe this judgment. At least every point discovered before was completely consistent, right? It makes no sense to appear here.
Exception. So what is the reason?
He thought for a moment, and suddenly thought that he was the first person to discover such a task? There are many unique tasks and first tasks in Amber, but there is also such a situation in the copy? No one has ever mentioned this.
.
He hesitated for a long time, and could only carefully fold the suicide note and the seal ring together, and then put them close to him. He felt that this task seemed familiar, maybe someone had completed it back then - but unfortunately, there was something about the other party's daughter in the suicide note.
The name and home address are blurred, otherwise the task would be straightforward.
But Brando doesn't care about this. The more troublesome the task, the richer the reward. The best way to start is from the citizen registration office in Prague. At least he knows two clues - that is, the name of the nobleman and his wife.
’s name. And that’s all in the future. Now he still has to face his own problems.
After putting away the suicide note, he began to look at his trophies. There were two rubies in the bag, and some coins were worth about thirty silver coins, which was a lot of money. In addition, there was a pipe, a dark gray stone flake, and a
A glass bead. Brando poured these things out and turned them over carefully. He was disappointed to find that there was no soul crystal, which made him sigh.
These gains would have been quite good in the game, but now what he needs is not materials or money, but items that can immediately enhance his strength. However, he is disappointed, and Brando still puts all these things into his pocket.
He didn't have time to check which ones were useful. Those were just decorations and sundries. In short, he had to be safe first.
After cleaning up the trophies, Brando took another look at the skeleton and then returned the same way. Everything went smoothly. When he returned to the stone crevice where Roman and Freya were, he clearly saw the two girls heaving a sigh of relief.
.
"Brando, you are finally back. Freya and I were so nervous without you, and there was no sound around. It was quiet." Roman patted his chest and let out a breath.
"Don't get involved with me -" Freya blushed.
"I just went to check the surrounding situation. There is only one patrol outside. We need to kill them as soon as possible."
"Are we going out?"
"We can also not go out and wait until later to leave from the exit on the other side of the mountain road. That can avoid fighting, but it may be tight on time." Brando replied.
"How tight is it?" Freya asked.
"About two hours late."
The girl was stunned for a moment: "How far is it from here to Ridenburg?" The farthest she has been from home since she was a child was to Webbing. Although Ridenburg is often mentioned by adults, it is just a story.
Just an impression.
"Let's put it this way, if we are two hours late, we will have to race against Madara's undead army." Brando looked at Roman: "We may arrive at Fort Lidenberg first, but the rest of the time will not be the same.
too much."
"Would it be faster if we went out and killed the tree?" she asked.
"There is a secret passage behind that, which was dug by businessmen in the past to avoid the checkpoint. I have read it in the municipal documents of Prague. When I was still in the Prague militia——" Our protagonist looked red-faced.
He lied without jumping. But he didn’t lie to Freya about the secret passage, it’s just that he learned about it in the game.
Freya glanced at him suspiciously.
"Is that tree dangerous?" She pointed outward.
"It's very dangerous. We have half a chance of failure." Brando replied seriously. Although he really wanted to take a gamble and kill the golden magic tree - but he also told himself that he must truthfully tell Freya how much risk they need to take.
Because he must be responsible for the lives of three people.
In a team, everyone has the right to make choices for their own lives. This is the basic rule of the Amber Sword. No one can force anyone.
Freya was silent.
"Roman, what about you?" she asked.
Roman shook his head: "I like taking risks. I want to use my life to do meaningful things."
Only then did Freya retract her gaze and nodded: "I understand, Brando, please lead us to defeat it. If we fail, I will not regret it."
Brando smiled, he did not expect Freya's reaction to be so big: "It's not that serious, I will tell you how to deal with it. But let's deal with the patrol team first, the six magic trees, you are already very
We are familiar with them, but this time we have to end the battle in an instant."
Then he led the two of them to the edge of the stone crevice. Looking out, he could clearly see the group of descendants of the golden magic tree. Brando gestured to a range: "Let's lurk from here, watch my gesture initiate."
The surprise attack must be as slow as possible before starting the battle, and we must not let them detect our voices."
"We have at least half an hour, so there is no need to rush."
"Freya."
"exist."
"Roman and I attack from the right. You hide under the rock on the left. When we launch the attack, you attack the two at the back - do you remember their weaknesses?" Brando asked Roman to side with him.
In fact, it was to protect her, and also to reduce Freya's pressure. After all, this business lady did not have much fighting ability.
Freya nodded. The weakness of the Demonic Trees is their limbs, because all their sensory organs are on their limbs. Without their limbs, they are no threat at all. But she became a little nervous. They used to deal with the Demonic Trees through
Some unexpected strategies, such as rockfall traps and so on, this time they have to face a head-on confrontation, and the battle must be ended in an instant - she is not worried about whether Brando can do it.
But can she do it? Freya is not sure.
Brando glanced at her and understood what she was thinking. Every novice has problems of one kind or another. Although Freya should be considered an 'NPC', she should not be an exception. He thought for a moment and encouraged:
"Don't worry too much. Your wind-back half-body armor is very effective against them. You should let go of your hands and feet to attack——"
