There was no sound on the long street, and Brando among the crowd seemed to be still immersed in the memory of a long-standing history.
Sword Master Darus, this name is both strange and familiar to him. Since the second revival, this name once belonged to one of the three important ministers who supported the Kingdom of Eruin. When he was active, he was still Eruin.
century ago, but in The Amber Sword, that is just an era with the same background for players.
Historically, the kingdom lost its spirit. It is said that Guleikes left, Turaman also returned to Mithril Castle, and the sword master also lived in seclusion. Some people say that he is still alive, and some say that he is dead, but
In Brando's own memory, he still remembers the moment when his grandfather held his hand and died.
He was just an old man describing dry grass. Although his eyes still burned with a steadfast flame far beyond ordinary people, he had finally reached the end of his life; and in another memory of him - Sophie and Brando -
, in the dream of the Golden Tree, an old soldier from the November War holds a long sword, nodding and smiling.
That was a world composed of Brando's memories, and nothing in the world would deviate. He could even clearly feel that expectation, but it was only today that he understood that the old man was treating something more than just the elders.
The expectations behind him were placed on Brando.
However, in real history, Brando himself may have died in Butcher's old house at that time.
In this case, why didn't he tell Brando the secret of the Wind Queen Ring at that time? What was the historical sword master hiding in the end?
"My grandfather was the general marshal of the Flame Temple Alliance in the last Holy War?" After a while, Brando suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Ah, I thought Lord Lord, you would be more surprised by the identity of the Sword Master," Charles was slightly startled: "That's true, the Lord once served as the marshal of the Flame Temple Alliance."
No, no. In Brando's memory, in the history of another world, Sword Master Darus has never served as the Grand Marshal of the Temple of Fire Alliance. Either history is lying, or Charles is lying.
, Brando looked at Charles and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Princess Griffin also looked at him, but there was an additional sense of recognition in her silver eyes.
Sword Master Darus was also a royalist, not even a new royalist. He was a true royalist. But why did he leave the center of power and the declining Corcova royal family at that time.
The look in the eyes of Charles and Her Royal Highness the Princess told him that they were not lying - or perhaps they were telling lies to the extent that they could only tell the truth. But unless that person was a cunning noble, the Princess was only sixteen years old this year.
.
"But this has never been recorded in history." Brando pretended to question.
"Because historically, the Temple of Fire has always kept the files of every holy war secret."
Lies, Brando exposed Charles's lies mercilessly. No matter how the files of previous jihads are kept secret, a few words will still be circulated, not to mention that such a prominent position as the marshal of the coalition forces will not allow the entire
The upper-class nobles of Eruin seemed to have forgotten.
What's more, in another history, in order to investigate the death of Her Royal Highness, Brando had the opportunity to 'check' the secret files of the temple. Regarding the history of the November War, Sword Master Darus did not appear at all. Unless
Either history has changed, or all the information related to Sword Master Darus has been deleted or sealed.
There is another secret.
The part of Brando's soul that belonged to the game suddenly awakened, and the memories in his mind seemed to come alive in an instant, like a river flowing with language and words, emerging one by one from the depths of his thoughts.
In the year when the Sword Master Darus lived in seclusion, in the First Era 325, the Year of the Castor, a number broke into his thoughts like a bolt of lightning.
That time point...
In the Year of the Gathering of Stars, on the 17th of the New Moon, Count Artania led the White Lion Infantry Regiment westward into the Haggang area, supported the operations on the flanks of the Cruz people, and launched an attack on the Black Tooth Tribe of the Toquinin Lions.
Since then, the Earth Temple has been defeated all the way, and the four major temples have also concluded reconciliation agreements within four years; four years after the Year of Stars Gathering, the Holy War ended.
Brando clearly remembered that the Year of the Stars Gathering was the 321st year of the First Era. It was interesting that the two time nodes overlapped, and there was indeed a problem here.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, and the flashing river of time emerged in front of him one by one:
Battle of Changhe.
Bleeding Gintins.
The Temple of Fire moves eastward.
Attack the Alfalfa Fields.
Then came the beginning of the long and brutal November War. The Holy War had never become so bloody. Brando suddenly realized what made the war so cruel. Those veterans who had been in the war for more than ten years came to the rescue.
It was rapidly consumed in the war that followed in less than a year...
surrounding……
A series of tug-of-wars in the extension of the Alkhash Mountains.
The historical record is...
Four holy temples entered this area at the same time, and then there was a protracted, dark and bloody meat-mincing war, a year-long meat-mincing war. Almost every person like Eruin who was vassal to the four saints was drained.
The little principality of the temple and the kingdom of blood.
The shadow of that war continues to this day, and Eruin lost an entire generation or even two generations of young people.
Brando suddenly felt a tremor, how similar the history was. In another war a hundred years later, the Knights Kingdom Gracius, Faenzan, Airanta, the Temple of the Wind Queen and Madara once again met
Entered this area.
It was also a brutal battle.
He still remembers the overwhelming army of undead, and everything seemed to be plunged into darkness.
But the Alkhash Pass does not seem to have such an important strategic position. Why do several major temples fight here again and again? It is said that the Alkhash Mountains are the traditional territory of Faenzan, but it has always been
In later generations, the undead armies of the Cruz people, wind elves and Madara were all stationed here.
Brando's heart was pounding, and he realized that he might have grasped the center of gravity. He clearly remembered that after the November War, the Holy War basically came to an end. His grandfather also lived in seclusion at this time, as if there was a
A keenness unique to players told him that if there was a problem somewhere in this plot, it must be in the November War.
That tragic war was in the memory of all the veterans. Brando also remembered a detail, that is, during that war, the temple awarded the precious Candlelight Medal to many veterans with outstanding performance.
This is unprecedented.
He opened his eyes, and there was a breathtaking light flashing in them.
"Are you okay, Mr. Brando?" Princess Griffin asked.
"Why are you telling me now?" Brando shook his head and asked.
"I'm sorry," Charles sighed: "If I can not tell it, I would rather keep this secret forever. Being able to silently protect the Lord, who is the descendant of Marshal Darus, is already the best wish. .”
Brando glanced at him, as if he wanted to see through this guy. But Charles was still the same Charles, a young man wearing the robe of a master with a confident smile on his face.
Ciel returned the smile.
"This cunning guy," Brando thought to himself: "For another question, why did my grandfather end up living in seclusion in Prague? You know, I didn't even know that he was a Highland knight. Did my father also live in Prague? In the dark?”
"No, your father should know some inside information, Brando," Her Royal Highness the Princess replied: "Actually, I don't know much, but I at least know that your father had grown up when Lord Darus left the army; He also made a marriage arrangement that day, and according to the tradition of the Highland Knights - the other party is also a noble of Cadrego."
"That's my mother, but my grandfather never taught me about the traditions of the nobility. Until I grew up to a certain age, I never thought - and I didn't know - that there was any relationship between the Cadrego people and the Highland knights." Lando replied.
"Ah, Master Darus is like this... Then did he teach you swordsmanship?" Princess Griffin was slightly surprised.
"My grandfather taught me some swordsmanship, but it was all about military swordsmanship." Brando replied.
"Ah..." The half-elf princess was really surprised this time. She couldn't help but raise her long eyelashes and look at Brando curiously: "Mr. Brando, your swordsmanship..."
"There is another hidden secret," Brando replied: "Including the knowledge I have now, in another experience of mine, I once studied with a wizard."
Brando thought that he was not lying. His swordsmanship did have another origin. It was the improved military swordsmanship modified by the player from Sword Saint Darus. He also studied under a wizard, but that was in the past game. middle.
"That must have been a tortuous experience." Griffin was somewhat impressed.
"Yes, so twists and turns..." Brando sighed in a different way, but the meaning was very different from what Her Royal Highness the Princess had imagined. At least he had never heard of it, let alone experienced such a story personally. Since Butcher After his escape, the two worlds overlapped in his life.
"So, what is going on," Brando sighed and continued to ask. He pretended to be eager to know the answer, but the answer was actually vague in his mind. He just needed confirmation. "I think there must be something hidden in this."
"Sir, I said that I will keep the secret." Charles replied, "In fact, the past is meaningless. We only need to know that fate still favors some people. Your appearance here today, sir, is Prove that the boss is right——"
No, Brando may be the only one present who understands that all this is not a connection of fate, because history has changed long ago - only he knows the real future - and he is here, which just proves this fixed destiny. Everything was already in turmoil.
Because Brando should have died in Butchi, and Eruin should have embarked on the trajectory destined by history.
However, fate handed over the present world to Alice, but handed over history and the future to the blind goddess Elaine. The present world was connected by an invisible line, which is cause and effect. However, history and future showed infinite possibilities on the playing cards. Unknown and possible.
It is precisely because of this infinite possible future.
Only mortals can control their own destiny.
Brando firmly believes in this, so what exactly is the problem? There must be such a line - a line that Brando neither died nor crossed. In which world, and how?
What a scene. What is the mission entrusted to Brando?
"What a loser." Brando couldn't help cursing secretly. After being a majestic swordsman, he died in the hands of a skeleton. This is probably the biggest black joke in Eruin's history, but in the game
It was completely buried without leaving any trace.
But it doesn't matter, he has at least guessed part of the answer. Brando glanced at Charles and asked: "If I guessed correctly, in November of the Year of Star Glory, the coalition forces of the Temple of Fire - Eruin
The Royal Regiment must have been attacked by friendly forces from behind in the Alkhash Mountains, right?”
"Let me guess, but what the Temple of Fire didn't expect was that Sword Master Darus was so powerful that he led Eruin's legion to fight his way out alive."
"Is it right?"
His voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, and every word fell to the ground with life. Brando seemed calm and composed, while Her Royal Highness the Princess bit her lip. Charles seemed to have seen a ghost. Everyone was stunned by these treasonous words.
Already.
Only then did Brando suddenly laugh, but the light in his eyes seemed so wise and confident to others at that moment.
"ha……"
Brando almost wanted to laugh loudly: "So that's it, that's how Madala's undead army came to attack us from behind. Those bastards of Thorn Flower Fire, haha, I really blamed you wrongly at that time.
…”
"The Temple of Fire and the Temple of Light are really interesting."
"It's a pity..."
"I am actually a player, and a time-traveling player."
This is really a surprise, Brando gritted his teeth and smiled.
…
