The one hundred and forty-eighth act goes deep into the spine
Scene 148: Deep into the Thorn Ridge (Second Update)
At the same time that Tiya entered the cemetery, Brando's team was entering the outer area of the Ring of Trade Winds - the previous incident of the so-called disappearance of Faina and others was just a small episode for him - although
Among the missing is Tia, but the wild elf sister itself is a card creature. Brando can make her appear beside him at any time by resetting the Lubis Mercenary card.
Therefore, from the beginning, Brando had no intention of going back to find someone.
However, his decision to go deep into the Ring of Trade Winds aroused strong opposition from the Eruin mission, and Count Odin almost sternly asked him to go back to find people.
Indeed, if Brando was a real Eruin, he might take into account the great impact that the disappearance of the daughter of Grand Duke Cruz would have; unfortunately, Brando's way of thinking, where two souls are fused together, is itself affected by
Sufi influence on modern people.
What are the Cruzes?
Even Veronica may not be able to completely protect herself from this wolf disaster, not to mention that returning the same way at this time is purely an act of seeking death. If it is for her companion Brando, she may fight to the death, but
It's really not worth it for a few strangers.
What's more, those Cruz nobles had deliberately plotted against him before. Brando considered himself not a villain, but he was also not a humble gentleman who repaid evil with kindness.
As for what the Eruin envoy thought, Brando once again told them through actions that he didn't care at all about the opinions of these guys under the banner of the royal party.
Brando was still sneering in his heart. These guys would always use the name of the Kingdom to make things happen. When he got impatient, he would just scare these guys to death with the silver brooch of the Kingdom Knights.
Most of the ordinary emblems of the Kingdom Knights are made of brass. Only captain-level figures can have silver brooches, while the captain's is gold-plated. In fact, even captain-level figures are at least valets of the royal family.
Compared with the relationship with the royal family, it is much closer than these guys who are neither above nor below in the royal party.
Of course, Brando also knew that it was just a thought. Although Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin secretly gave him this brooch, Brando knew very well that the other party was not necessarily willing to expose his relationship with him. If he took this brooch,
Brooches are used everywhere, and they may leave a bad impression on the future Princess Regent.
With Brando's current strength, he actually doesn't care what impression he will leave in the other person's mind, but as a former admirer, he still doesn't want to do this in his heart.
So he simply ignored the nobles, knowing that those guys didn't dare to leave his team at all. There were more than twenty of them wandering around in this black forest just to deliver food. The monsters in the black forest were not just wolves.
Just as he expected.
Although Count Odin's position was unacceptable to Brando, he was still clear-headed. Seeing that the young man was determined to go his own way, he did not simply return the same way as Roberon clamored, but followed him shamelessly.
He knew very well that if he chose to return the same way, it was very likely that his team would never be able to go back.
Brando looked back from a distance on the mountainside at the Eruin envoy following below. The young lord had an enigmatic smile on his face. He raised his head again and looked across the dark night.
Quietly staring at the undulating mountain shadows in the distance——
In that direction, the Thorn Ridge forms an open range of hills to the south and east of the Wall of Roses, and as long as you cross these hills, you will truly begin to penetrate into a branch of the Kalanga Mountains to the north.
Brando has forgotten the name of that branch, but even the Thorn Ridge area is considered to be outside the Ring of Trade Winds.
In fact, looking around, one can already see a thin layer of white gauze-like mist permeating the dark mountains and forests. This is because the cloud wall of the Ring of Trade Winds has opened a path in the clouds. On weekdays,
Here, it is already filled with heavy fog.
Whether you look to the southeast or southwest, you can actually see the wall of clouds towering into the sky. The dark clouds even cover a few stars - because it is too high, it creates clouds on both sides when looking up.
The illusion of bending towards the center - being on this path in the clouds gives people the illusion of being included in it.
Even a casual glance is enough to shock people.
Brando took a breath, and he saw the dots of blue light flowing above the canopy of the black forest - that was the purest magic, unaffected by any kind of power.
However, these magical powers quickly sank and turned black in the wild land, and then formed monsters in the forest. The tide of magic has come, and this smell seems to be permeated in the air.
A silver moon illuminates the mountains and dense forests.
But then he was slightly startled, and the green light network in his retina changed, finally forming a line of small words projected on the infinity focus.
"Lubius mercenary, Tia enters the graveyard."
Brando said "Huh" and immediately stopped to get in touch with the little wild elf girl. To be honest, being killed in the black forest was not beyond his expectation, but it still surprised him so quickly.
You must know that Tiya is a silver-level elemental user. Even if she encounters a small group of wolves, she will at least have the ability to escape. Unless she encounters a male wolf.
Could it be that there is a third wolf pack in this area?
This made Brando a little wary.
He comforted the little girl for a few words first. It was funny to say that this was the second time that the little girl had entered the cemetery alone. He didn't know why this cute little girl always had such bad luck - could it be?
Because the red-handed girl took all the good luck by herself?
Tia was stronger than he thought. The little girl first complained to him about how painful it was to be stabbed to death by a sword, and that the lord must avenge her, and then briefly described the situation at that time.
When Tiya talked about the ability to turn weapons and magic into dust and disappear in the wind, Brando's heart suddenly jumped. As far as he knew, there were many spells that could cause this effect, but if paired with the unique purple
If you look at the effect of the withered roses.
There is only one kind.
In Brando's view, the corrosion element is not a very powerful element, but the person who masters this element makes him unable to help but feel frightened. Wither Lord Andesa - one of the twelve patriarchs of the tree shepherds
1. Martha is on top. That is almost the second-most cutting-edge force in Warnd today.
Why did that woman come here? Brando's heart was pounding for a moment. He thought that it was outrageous enough to attract the Cruz people, Buga's wizards and the Temple of Fire all at once by creating an artifact reaction.
Unexpectedly, the tree shepherds are now involved. Is the charm of the Lion Heart Sword that great?
He reacted immediately, but if the Lion Heart Sword is really part of the Scepter of Fire, then it is understandable that the Tree Shepherd appears here. The Four Sages were one of their major enemies back then, and they were one step ahead.
The weapon that prevents the Four Sages from reappearing.
This explanation seems acceptable.
And knowing that Andesa, the witch, was here, Brando was not surprised at all by the death of Viscount Elman and the genius alchemist boy. He didn't think it was them, even if he added ten of them, he estimated
It's not enough for that woman to hit with one finger.
But what makes Brando feel slightly relieved is that, at least judging from Andersa's behavior of kidnapping Faina, her target should be Cruz's envoy and his party.
That’s fine.
Among the Cruz people is Veronica, the goddess of war from the Blue Legion of the Sky. At this time, Veronica's strength should be around level 70, which is the peak of the Law Wall (elemental field), although she is probably not Ender.
Lisa's opponent, but Veronica will not be the only one in Cruz's mission.
Brando knew very well that the Cruz people were divided into several systems. In addition to the knight force represented by the legion, there were astrologers, court magicians, and the temple force.
Since we are going to the Temple of Fire alone this time, the Cruz people's envoy should at least include people from the great mage Madlan's group.
After listening to Tia's description, Brando calmed down and thought for a moment. He thought that the Cruz people's operation might be led by Veronica, so according to their rules, there should be at least two senior wizards with the group.
yes.
With the two high-level wizards plus Veronica, it's no wonder that Andesa didn't dare to act rashly. However, the encounter between the two would inevitably trigger impulses. When Brando thought about this, he couldn't help but start to move in his heart.
Two high-level NPCs collided, and the strength of the two sides was almost the same. What did this mean in past games?
Brando's eyes are a little bright, this is simply the best opportunity to pick up a bargain. If he didn't even think about it in the Amber Sword in the past, he would probably turn around immediately to see if he could get any benefits out of this muddy water.
The wild goose is plucking its feathers, which is one of the basic attributes of the player.
But he calmed down immediately and suddenly remembered that he was no longer a player. The fight between NPCs at the level of Veronica and Andersa was not something he could get involved in now. If he was unlucky, he would die more than ten or twenty times.
It's also understandable.
In past games, no matter how many times you die, you might be able to get something back in the end, but it's different here - Brando quickly forced himself to throw this terrible thought out of his mind, for fear that he would lose it in a moment of heat.
His life was lost.
He took a breath, and suddenly felt a little happy in his heart - No matter how strong Andesa was, she probably couldn't figure out Tia's identity, so I'm afraid that woman would never have thought that her whereabouts had been exposed.
But now that we know that the old witch is already operating in this area, her threat is much smaller. Brando, the twelve tree shepherd patriarchs, knows it very well, and he has even fought with some of them personally.
As for the habits and behavioral styles of those guys - he also knows them very well.
"Is it okay?" Tiya asked in confusion in his mind: "That woman looks very powerful."
"Don't worry, she may still be in danger in the dark, but thank you, Tia."
Tia smiled sweetly.
At this time Brando raised his head and immediately heard a familiar voice asking: "What's wrong?"
Brando was stunned, and then he saw Antitina looking at him with concern - her eyes shining brightly in the dark made Brando couldn't help but think a little uncomfortably - why does this noble daughter seem to be all the time?
Do you seem to be focusing on yourself all the time?
"Nothing, what are you doing?" Brando asked.
Antitina replied angrily: "Elder Huade has been looking for you for a long time, and you have been distracted. I told him that you were thinking about a problem, but he didn't dare to disturb-"
The noble girl paused for a moment: "It seems that there are other adventurers ahead. You'd better go and have a look."
"Ah?" Brando was stunned.
