Brando thought that as long as Veronica blocked Andesa, he and Qian would have a chance to escape. But he found that he had thought of things too simply.
Akane and Faina, who were in a coma, had been walking around in the valley for less than half an hour. Suddenly, there was a sharp roar in the sky, Brando turned around, and a blue light flashed in the night.
Then there was a loud bang, and a figure fell down in front of him, crashed into the ground, and raised a cloud of smoke and dust. Brando could see clearly that it was Veronica.
He was startled and took a step forward, parting from the misty smoke and dust, and found the Cruz goddess of war lying in a large pit, covered in blood.
The original appearance of Ms. Veronica's shirt was completely lost, and the inner armor was exposed in many places. When the armor hit the ground, there was a huge amount of friction, which generated heat and caused white smoke to curl up at this moment.
Brando originally thought that Veronica had fainted, but when he took a step closer, the lady whispered and opened her emerald eyes:
"Get out of here quickly, cough... Andersa is catching up." Veronica's eyelids were drooped, but her eyes still looked tough.
She was covered in injuries and could barely move, but she still struggled to grab the sword on one side, but unexpectedly Brando had already picked up the Blue Sky one step ahead of her.
The lady was startled and raised her head to look at the young man in surprise.
Brando also has a headache. If Veronica still has the strength to fight, he will never meddle in her own business. But Veronica is obviously going to die like this, and he will never watch her do this.
——Even if Veronica was not kind to him in the past.
Brando knew that it was because of Faina and her group.
"For Freya's sake," he thought, and sighed: "You are no longer fit to fight, Ms. Veronica."
Veronica looked at the two girls that Brando was supporting on one side and the other on the right. Especially Brando did not abandon Faina, which made her relieved.
But she reached out to Brando:
"Give me the sword."
"Sorry, that's impossible, Ms. Veronica, you have to come with me now."
"You know that's Lord Wither. If we run together, you can't escape."
Veronica closed her eyes, frowned and replied.
"I won't say that if I can't escape," Brando replied: "Ms. Veronica, I like miracles, but I never expect miracles; I like gambling, but I won't go all-in."
Veronica opened her eyes and looked at him with deep emerald eyes, with a certain deep color.
"How are you going to take me away? I'm like this."
She looked at Brando's two girls on the left and right, smiled weakly and shook her head:
"Stop being brave, good boy, give me the sword quickly——"
Brando smiled confidently.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. When he lowered his head, he stretched out two fingers. The black smoke on his fingertips formed a card. Then Brando raised the card and flicked it forward.
Veronica watched in surprise as a black six-pointed star array appeared out of thin air on the ground. After the light faded, a girl wearing a black tuxedo, long face, and short sideburns walked out of the black smoke.
The girl with a pretty face came to Brando, put a hand - a woman's hand - on her chest, bowed respectfully and said: "In the name of respect in the darkness, I am Morpheus.
, come to serve the master and wait for dispatch——"
He paused and added solemnly: "In addition, I am a male."
The sound is soft and slightly neutral.
Brando looked at this guy with a strange expression and thought: "Yes, this time she is a real fake." But now is not the time to care about this, he immediately pointed at Veronica:
"Medphis, help this lady up and follow me."
Morpheus nodded respectfully, then came to Veronica's side, and easily helped the armored female general up. Although the vampire pseudo-mother looks weak, she is still gold-level in strength.
Being alone is not difficult for her.
Veronica seemed a little uncomfortable. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Brando: "Vampire, advanced black witchcraft, necromancer?"
"It's not some advanced black magic, it's just a family heirloom."
Veronica pondered for a moment: "Summon statue?"
Brando nodded.
The Cruzian goddess of war immediately fell silent. If a high-ranking necromancer could still compete with Andersa, it would be meaningless just to summon a statue.
Gold-level power is not enough for that woman.
The lady was silent for a while, then spoke weakly: "Andesa is right behind me. I managed to get away from the woman temporarily despite being seriously injured, but she will catch up soon. What are you going to do?"
Brando thought for a moment and replied:
"There is a way."
"kindness?"
"Ms. Veronica, do you know where the front is?"
"I don't know."
Veronica frowned and looked at Brando suspiciously: "You know?"
"Know something." Brando replied.
"There is a huge canyon, and it is also the center of the storm circle. Ms. Veronica, you must have never seen the scene of traveling through the vast sea of clouds..."
He raised his head and answered as if he had seen it with his own eyes: "Under the clouds and mist, the strong wind rushed along the gorge. The most important thing is that the terrain there is complicated. I can make it difficult for Andersa to catch up."
"But you can't get rid of her."
"I can't get rid of her," Brando replied, "but I can find a way to get rid of that witch."
Veronica raised her head and looked at Brando with an expression of "wanting to see if this young man had any whims". The Cruz female war goddess let out a breath:
"Have you thought of a solution?"
"Always there," Brando turned over his palm, and the gray gemstone shone brightly in his palm.
"There's just some danger."
It is no longer realistic to look back at this time, and the only way is to introduce Andesa into the center of the Ring of Trade Winds. Brando had thought it through from the beginning, and the plan in his heart was really bold:
If Andersa pursues her relentlessly, then he will lead her into the lair of the saint's hydrangea——
Provoking a fight between two bosses is the favorite thing for players to do in Amber Sword. However, the higher the boss level, the harder it is to win. This is the advanced wisdom that is different from low-level bosses, especially Andersa and
An existence at the level of the Saint Hydra.
Smarter than even many humans.
It's not easy for them to fight.
But Brando knew that this was not impossible. He remembered that when he inherited the fate of the Fool, the gray gem had a great resonance with a certain existence in the center of the Ring of Trade Winds. As the successor of the gray gem, Brando also vaguely
Feel the familiar breath coming from the other end.
That was the aura of the holy multi-headed dragon from before.
Although the Dark Dragon did not tell him about the connection between the gray gemstone and the Saint Hydra, Brando was not a fool. He could fully imagine that this thing should have been obtained by the monks of the Temple of Fire through unknown means, which caused
He was hunted down by the saint's many-headed dragon.
With this explanation, the strange behavior of Priest Amman can be understood.
It is understandable why the Saint Hydra let him go and attacked Amman instead.
Brando has reason to believe that the other end of the resonance with the gray gem should be the lair of the Saint Hydra. Of course, he cannot say that he is 100% sure.
But now the bad situation doesn't allow him to think about it, so he can only take a gamble.
Putting away the gems, Brando took Medphis and moved forward.
And just as Veronica expected, Andesa quickly followed the clues left by a few people in the canyon and caught up with her. According to Brando, this woman was as sharp as a woman in tracking.
An experienced hunting dog.
But considering that the other party is half a druid, I feel relieved. The relationship between the tree shepherd and the ring of the sky is unclear, just like the two sides of light and darkness.
Brando and the others trudged in hiding in the valley, and their speed inevitably slowed down. Andesa passed by them several times, but Brando often avoided each other first through his familiarity with the terrain.
Veronica was so surprised by this ability that she even suspected that Brando was not the first time he came to this place. However, no matter how the female regiment leader asked, Brando refused to speak.
Later, she simply gave up.
After about a few hours like this, Brando and his team entered the ancient isthmus first. The ancient isthmus area is the last gate guarding the entrance to the ruins of Valhalla. It also goes deep into the depths of the Wall in the Clouds, and the entire isthmus is filled with clouds and mist.
It was so permeable that Brando and Veronica almost felt as if they had returned to the time when they met the Saint Hydra.
But the difference is that the terrain of the ancient isthmus is notoriously complex throughout the game. Winding valleys and criss-crossing canyons are all over this area. There are no plants, and the ground is covered with igneous rocks and obsidian formed by volcanoes.
Huge rocks formed various blind spots. In such an environment, it was much easier for Brando to avoid Andesa than before. But what gave him a headache was that the woman seemed to have an intuition.
He stayed close to them and almost spotted them several times.
The game of cat and mouse is not fun for the prey, especially when the game is a matter of life and death.
After walking along the canyon for half a day, Brando stopped to rest for the first time. Because they lost their backpacks, none of them brought food, and Veronica didn't know how to bring these things. The Cruz people's rations were all left in the team.
middle.
What's more, this female swordsman probably didn't expect this situation.
So Brando could only endure the feeling of empty stomach. Fortunately, after just absorbing the blood of God, the feeling of hunger was not that strong.
He sat quietly against a huge rock. Although he was a little cold, he still didn't dare to light a fire. Everyone knew that Andesa was still nearby.
After Veronica was put down by Morphis, she sat opposite him. The Cruzian goddess of war looked a little tired due to excessive blood loss, but she looked at Brando with admiration with her emerald green eyes:
"You know, little guy, because you are an Eruin, I won't say thank you to you."
Brando was startled:
"I don't need that thing either." He curled his lips in a nonchalant tone.
"Do you want to learn swordsmanship from me, Brando?" The lady closed her eyes, but smiled softly: "My swordsmanship, the wall of the sky -"
Ha? Brando looked at Veronica in confusion. He almost thought he heard wrongly and almost wanted to pick out his ears with his hands.
"Don't want to?"
"No..." Brando was a little stunned. Is this okay? You must know that he is not even a Cruz person: "I mean, I can't be a Cruz person. I said..."
But this time Veronica shook her head slightly and interrupted him. The lady sighed. She seemed to want to say something, but Brando didn't wait for the next step after sighing.
The young man waited for a long time, and when he was wondering, he looked at the other person carefully, only to find that the female swordsman had fallen asleep due to excessive exhaustion. Her head was lowered, and her breathing was long and even.
"I'm going to do it, right?" Brando suddenly screamed in his heart: "Sister, you can finish it all in one go, and there is still suspense! Don't do this!"
But while Brando was lamenting over the swordsmanship of the 'Wall of the Sky' that he had gained and lost, Morpheus, the only one who was still awake among the people on the side, looked at his master and said:
"Dear Master, I'm hungry."
Brando was stunned.
He looked at this 'Vampire Lady' who looked like a girl no matter how she looked, but was actually a male dressed as a noble. He thought for a moment and then replied:
"Well, sorry, there is no food anymore."
It's a pity that Morpheus just tilted his head, and then looked at him with eyes as clear as blood——
It was as if he was some kind of delicious meal.
But wait.
Brando's face suddenly looked a little uncomfortable.
