Each of the twelve witches stood under a hazelnut tree and began to sing an ancient song. Seven stone pillars suddenly broke out of the ground quietly on the grass in the forest. Between the stone pillars
Another huge holy white rock rose from the soil. There was a crack in the rock, and the black hole looked like a door to hell.
It was easy to tell that the stone gates and stone pillars were artificially carved from natural rocks. There were also some crooked words on them, which were blurred by erosion. Brando could only barely tell that they should be ancient times.
dwarven writing.
"Sir, this door can only last for half a quarter of an hour. Please quickly decide who you want to bring with you." As soon as the white rock appeared, Babasha said in a hoarse voice.
Brando has already decided on the candidate in his mind, "Babasha, you choose five reliable men to go in with me first. Count Odin, you lead the knights to go in later. The rest of you, protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. I want you to
Swear to the goddess of the Pillars of Purgatory."
"Don't worry, Mr. Brando." Count Odin made a knightly salute and replied. The relationship between him and Brando seemed to have naturally become a superior-subordinate relationship, but the Count was not narrow-minded and understood that
Brando was far more qualified to give orders here than him, so he didn't feel anything wrong.
The witches followed the instructions respectfully, which made Count Odin sigh again. Although the witches occasionally made some deals with secular powers, they would never behave so respectfully. He did not really believe that the old man
The witch said that Brando had helped them, but she doubted Brando's other experience: He already knew that Brando was a descendant of Sword Master Darus. He also knew that Brando had once worked under a very powerful man.
The 'hermit wizard' had learned the knowledge of wizards. Count Odin was very suspicious that it was Tullaman, so he subconsciously attributed the relationship between the witches and Brando to the fact that they might have benefited from the castle of Mithril Castle.
host.
"Mr. Brando -" the half-elf girl just started, but was interrupted by Brando, "Your Highness, please stay here to make me feel at ease. Because whether it is you or me, Eruin always needs someone.
I know how it should go in the future. I may be a little arrogant to say this, but I don’t want my efforts to be in vain.”
Princess Griffin looked at him carefully. "Then I order you to come back. Can you do it?"
Brando didn't answer. How could he answer? He didn't know in his heart. Maybe the people from Jorgendigon were just a bunch of brainless cavemen, and they didn't even expect that there would be a secret passage leading to the north of Ampelsel.
In the hills. So they came out in full force, or only one reserve team stayed behind, allowing him to easily demolish the Flame Door.
Of course, he also hoped so. But he knew in his heart that it was more likely to be the opposite. The demons were heavily guarding the portal, and they had only a slim chance of success. He didn't know what he was going to face, even if he was killed in Buqi
When he came out of the siege, he never felt so uncertain.
History had completely changed. For the first time, he could not see the inevitable result behind the fog. But he was surprisingly free of fear, his mind was clear, and he knew clearly what he wanted to do.
"Then it's agreed," Brando smiled slightly. "If I'm unlucky enough to die, I will ask Count Odin to send my body back."
This joke was not very clever. Her Royal Highness frowned at him and said only two words: "Alive."
"...I will try my best. No one will want to die, Your Highness."
Princess Griffin just glanced at him quietly. This made Brando feel very strange. He thought that this ambiguous answer would definitely be reprimanded, but no matter what, he had already made his decision.
Babasha had already chosen a candidate, and she brought the five witches to meet him. One of the five witches was said to be Babasha's niece, a thin middle-aged woman in her sixties, and the other three were also
Babasha has a close relationship. The last person surprised Brando a little. It was a little girl holding a honey jar, less than half his height, with some light freckles on the tip of her nose, and a pair of amber eyes looking curiously
He, Babasha, introduced her as her adopted daughter. Although she was only fourteen years old, she already had silver-level strength.
Brando asked her what her name was, and the little girl replied crisply: "Sugar Bowl."
What a good name. Brando couldn't help but glance at the honey jar she was holding, thinking that this little girl must like eating sweets, but she didn't know if witches would get cavities, maybe not.
After bidding farewell to the princess, he led the witches into the cave, followed by the twelve knights. There was a small space in the crevice of the rock, which could only accommodate three people walking side by side. You could clearly feel the presence on the ground.
There were traces of artificially carved steps. At this time, someone from behind lit a torch with flint, and the smell of pine nut oil suddenly filled the cave, but everyone could clearly see the surrounding environment.
The rocks on both sides were as sharp as a knife, and a staircase dug out from between the rocks in the middle led straight to the ground. It was not much different from Brando's memory, except that the dust was very thick. He scratched a line with his fingers on the wall.
There were traces of it, and Brando thought that the first player who discovered this place must have felt the same way.
But at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from behind. Brando quickly turned around, and then he saw a familiar slender figure walking in from the outside. The cracks in the rock closed behind her, naturally forming the appearance of the surrounding rock walls.
, leaving no trace.
That is Princess Griffin.
"Your Highness, you..." Brando was so suspense that his eyesight went dark. He finally understood the meaning of the princess's last quiet glance. It turned out that she wanted to tell him to relax his vigilance. The tragedy was that he actually ran into it.
trap.
"Mr. Brando, you are not smart."
"Okay, I admit that I am a fool. But I will order Babasha to take you out from another secret passage. Your Highness, you can't trouble me." Brando replied angrily.
"Unless you kill me," Princess Griffin replied coldly, "otherwise no one can take me away. You can give it a try, Mr. Brando. I dare to use my actions to practice every word I say.
talk."
"Your Highness Princess... don't be so..." Brando wanted to say stubborn. But he suddenly remembered that this Princess was famous for her stubbornness in history, and she might actually do what she said.
He was suddenly two and a half older, and he suddenly missed Antitina who had obeyed his every word. In other words, Akane and Medisa were at least much more worry-free than this princess.
"Mr. Brando, I said you are not smart, not because I lied to you." Her Royal Highness saw the hesitant look on his face. Her tone became softer: "Have you ever thought about what happens if you fail?"
Will Eruin exist? The devil will destroy everything, haven't you already told me? I want to work with you to see you save this ancient kingdom with your own hands."
"If you fail," Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at him quietly, "I will be buried with you for this kingdom. I will at least bury our ideals under the dust with my own hands. I will die beside my knight."
Brando felt his heart skip a beat.
He didn't know if the princess meant what she said, but when he saw the half-elf girl's extremely serious eyes, he suddenly felt that he had been seen through.
But he had to admit that he had never thought of this. If he failed, Eruin would be wiped out by the invasion of demons. After losing him and Valhalla, could the Eruin survive?
A kingdom was rebuilt on the ruins. Whether the rebuilt kingdom carries the same beliefs is still unknown.
Even whether the Eruin people can survive the disaster is still a question. After losing those familiar names on the land, will this kingdom still be the Eruin he is familiar with?
I'm afraid not necessarily.
Her Royal Highness the Princess sees far more clearly than he does. Perhaps this is the difference between him and her. After all, she is an aborigine of this kingdom, and no matter how much he understands the history of this ancient kingdom, he only carries half of Brando's feelings.
That's all.
He sighed, "Your Highness Princess, you are with me. Since you admit that I am your knight, then I will take the responsibility of protecting you. You must not act so insistently in the future." He half complained and half warned.
One sentence.
Princess Griffin's eyes softened slightly.
"Babasha, lead the way." Brando said angrily.
"Yes, Lord." Babasha glanced at the princess, smiled mysteriously, picked up the torch and walked forward.
The light of the torch extended along the downward corridor, and the air quickly broke away from the moist atmosphere outside and became dry. The rosin torch occasionally burst out one or two sparks, which landed on Babasha's witch hat. Other than that,
It is difficult to hear any other sounds in this silent underground.
Of course, except for the rustling footsteps of the group.
Brando felt that Her Royal Highness the Princess next to her was a little nervous. It was not surprising to think about it. Although she was born with various aristocratic educations that required her to remain calm and calm at all times; after all, she was still a noble girl born into the royal family.
, I'm afraid I have never had the experience of exploring in the wild, let alone exploring deep underground in the castle. It is inevitable for anyone to have some weird hallucinations in their mind, and the princess is no exception.
"Mr. Brando, who built these tunnels?" Princess Griffin was curious after seeing this mysterious tunnel under Ampelsel with her own eyes. And as if to get rid of that faint uneasiness, she
He asked softly.
"It should be the dwarves, but I don't know which one it is." Brando replied casually.
"It should be the rune dwarf, Lord." The old witch Babasha replied from the front.
So, Brando didn't expect that this was another rune dwarf ruins. However, there are almost no details in "Amber Sword" that mention the authentic background here. It seems that the core key is that the players have not discovered it.
in that secret passage.
After a brief conversation, the surroundings quickly fell into silence again. The corridor began to become narrower, allowing only two people to walk side by side. Brando and Her Royal Highness the Princess had to get closer. The knights also noticed that the underground stairs began to rise.
Due to water seepage, the traces of artificial carvings have become very blurred from here on, and the surrounding stone walls have been washed back to their original state by the groundwater seeping from above.
After walking like this for about a quarter of an hour, the artificial corridor completely disappeared, and a cliff appeared in front of it. An obliquely inserted crack cut off the corridor. When you raised the torch, you could see a natural stone wall as smooth as a mirror directly in front of you.
Brando signaled Babasha to extinguish the torch, and then he took out a crystal for lighting. This crystal was basically the kind of bargain that could be seen everywhere, and the light it emitted was very dim.
But it's not that Brando didn't have a better choice, but he did it deliberately. He hasn't forgotten that the spider mother's lair is under the cliff, and if you use the heat light source to go down, you will fall into a trap.
After changing the light source, Brando blessed everyone with the Wings of Wind spell. As an elementalist in his early 20s, the Wings of Wind were not enough for people to fly, but it was completely enough to be used as a slow fall spell.
The group of people slowly fell from the cliff, and it took them several minutes to reach the bottom.
There was a completely different scenery under the cliff. The knights soon discovered that there was an underground river below. The pebble beaches on both sides of the river were covered with layers of white spider webs, and countless spider eggs were clearly visible under the webs.
, you can even see fist-sized spiders crawling between the spider webs.
Brando subconsciously looked up and saw that the sloping cliff was covered with dense black flesh ball-like spiders, piled up in layers. His scalp suddenly exploded when he saw it. He couldn't help but scream inwardly for the rest of his life.
Damn it, this is exactly the same as in the game.
When they ventured here, he subconsciously glanced at the top of his head and screamed in fright. At that time, he lured the spider mother out, which resulted in the group being destroyed. He was severely punished by his senior sister for this matter.
I repaired it once, but I still blush when I think about it.
But this is really disgusting. There is a dense wall of floating insects above your head, and it feels as if it will fall on your head at any time. Even if he is mentally prepared, it still makes his hair stand on end.
"Everyone, listen up, don't look above your head." He immediately warned after looking away.
The knights did as they were told, but Princess Griffin was very keen and seemed to have guessed what might be above her head. Brando felt that her face was a little pale, and she touched his hand several times, but immediately
Put it back.
He didn't expect the princess to be so afraid of spiders. If he had known it, he might have let her look above her head. Maybe Princess Griffin would have been so scared that she would have hugged him. Brando could not help but think in such a wicked way, of course, then
Just thinking about it.
"Mr. Brando, these spiders must have some origin." Princess Griffin asked with a pale face. She knew that it was impossible for so many spiders to gather together inexplicably. The only possibility was that there was a monster here.
nest.
Brando nodded: "It is said that the owner here is the mother of a spider called 'Annalons'. That monster had the elements of civilization and even the terrifying strength of the side of truth a hundred or two hundred years ago. According to legend,
Its element is 'net'. 'Net' means both binding and connection. It can control every thread here——"
"By the way, don't touch those webs, not even a single thread." Brando reminded. He was not here to brush the dungeon. It would be better not to provoke the terrifying female spider.
Hearing what he said, everyone was stunned. But at this time, Brando heard a rustling sound coming from one direction.
That didn't sound like a spider.
"Huh?" He was slightly startled and couldn't help but turn his head in that direction.
