The metal components of the two war horses were clattering as they walked through the forest one after another. The female knight on the horse held the reins tightly with one hand and turned her head to look at the surrounding scenery with some worry. The still forest was like a picture.
In the oil painting, refreshing greenery oozes from the depths of the background. Sunlight passes through the tree canopy, scattering bunches on the dead leaves like a curtain of light.
There was total silence in the forest, except for the soft rustle of horse hooves on dead leaves and the sound of metal clashing, which made people hair-raising.
Freya's face turned a little pale. Although the injury she suffered at Laurenna's hand was only a minor injury and was not serious after Melia's treatment. However, walking a long distance on horseback after losing blood still made her a little bit overwhelmed.
"Tired?" Brando looked back at her and asked with concern.
"No, but...but it's getting dark. If we go further, we won't be able to return to Saffrond." Freya said with a worried tone. She didn't know why Brando suddenly screamed.
Went with her to Schavlund, and also went deep into the Grahar Mountains.
——Further ahead is the Black Forest.
"It's okay," Brando smiled on the horse and didn't seem to care: "When it gets dark, we can camp in the wild. Are you still worried when I'm here?"
But Freya's face immediately turned red: "But, but, we only have one tent."
Brando liked the look of the future Valkyrie, so he was not in a hurry to answer. He waited until the latter glared at her fiercely before he smiled: "Actually, I lied to you, she will be there soon."
Freya breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that she had been teased. She took a deep breath, and finally resisted the urge to punch the evil-smiling face - but she saw that the latter had already
He tightened the reins, let out a light sigh, and the seated horse stopped. Brando looked at the surrounding environment carefully, as if confirming something. Then he turned over and dismounted with a 'swish', holding his sword with one hand.
Handle slowly walked forward, dragging his cloak.
Seeing Brando like this, Freya had to put away her original angry look and became a little curious. She saw him stepping on dead leaves and walking to a tree - naturally she didn't recognize those trees among the scholars.
The scientific name is marked on the label in the thick document, but these giant trees with dark trunks are commonly known as ghost trees among the mountain people of Eruin, which she still knows. "Brando, what are you... looking at?
?”
Brando looked up at the ebony tree. He was very familiar with these tree species. It was like seeing him again after many years of absence. He felt a faint sense of intimacy. He was thinking about something silently. There were some things about everything in the past.
He can no longer remember it clearly, but the memory is still like shining fragments, occasionally flashing in his thoughts, like shells being picked up in a sea of sand.
Then he looked away and found the gray-white rock not far away from the place in his memory. The rock was like a giant egg stuck diagonally in the ground. His eyes looked up along the uneven surface of the rock.
, he stopped once every time he went up. After the third time, he saw the crack that looked like a bifurcated star.
Then he replied: "Nothing, we are here, Freya."
"Are we here?" Freya couldn't help but raise her head and look around. After half the afternoon, the light in the mountain forest became grayer. She could only see a dark green tree crown and twisted tree branches, intertwined.
From this angle, the forest looks more like a semi-enclosed cave, an empty space composed of tangled roots, with interlaced tunnels leading in all directions.
Unlike other places in Tonigel, the black coniferous forests common in the Golan-Elsen and Jeandener areas are rarely seen in the Kharagol Mountains. Instead, they are covered with large tracts of evergreen broad-leaved forests, which seem to have a mysterious atmosphere.
The magic nourishes this ancient forest underground here.
"What is this place?"
"This should be the border of the Black Forest in this direction," Brando took a few steps forward and pushed aside a large bush. He found that it was almost the top of the mountain. Looking east from here, the black ridges in the clouds and mist were formed by
Going south to north, like the backs of several looming giant dragons. He stretched out his hand and pointed in that direction with his five fingers, and said: "To the east, it is Yonge Forest. You should have heard of it, right?"
"The mountains of Chablis?" Freya asked curiously. The mountains of Chablis are a famous landmark in the southern border of Eruin. The beautiful Yonge Forest has always been a place that travelers yearn for, so even in Butchi
, she had heard about it a long time ago.
"Well," Brando nodded, "but to be precise, it should be the junction of Tosankad Forest and Yongsong Forest. Fang Fortress is located in that direction, and it is the southern border of Eruin."
After saying that, he stared in that direction and remained silent. Surrounded by clouds and mist was the vast mountainous land, with black forests scattered among them. It was the most rare scenery for explorers - any player would be surprised when faced with such a scene.
Birth of great ambition - just like a sailor conquering the mighty sea.
"But why are we here?...Bu, Brando, what are you going to do?" The knight girl felt a little baffled. She didn't understand why Brando would bring her to this inaccessible place alone, but she saw
Brando suddenly took off his cloak, took off his coat and walked back to her. He couldn't help being startled. His armored hand subconsciously clicked on the hilt of the sword, staring at the other party nervously.
Brando stopped and looked at the future Valkyrie inexplicably: "What are you thinking about?"
"You, you, why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Of course I'm going to climb down from here, where did you think you were going," Brando replied angrily: "Am I so unworthy of your trust? Come here and get my clothes and wait for me here, idiot.
"
Freya's face suddenly turned as red as blood. She lowered her head, as if she wanted to find a gap in the ground to crawl through. However, after hearing Brando's request, our Valkyrie waited for a long time before getting off the horse.
She unfastened various leather buckles on her back and climbed down. If she dismounted at this speed in the academy, she would have received a negative mark on the riding test. Then she took the hand from Brando with a trembling hand.
Take the coat.
"...Where are you going?" She held up a piece of clothing blankly and asked cautiously like a clumsy maid.
"You'll find out later."
Brando replied. Then she looked up and saw him walking to the side, dragging the rope out of the bag on the horse and tying it to the 'ghost tree'. She saw him let go little by little.
He slowly walked towards the edge of the mountain wall over there, then glanced down and threw the second half of the rope down.
"Brando, where is that place down there?" Valkyrie was stunned for a moment, and finally realized what Brando was going to do.
Brando raised his head and glanced at her in that direction. He put his finger to his lips and shook his head at the girl from the Butchi countryside. Then he grabbed the rope with one hand and jumped down suddenly——
"careful!"
Freya couldn't help shouting.
But the shouts seemed to be stretched out in Brando's ears, getting further and further away. The biting cold wind on the cliff made him couldn't help but squint his eyes. After he finally distinguished the scene in front of him,
I felt that the clouds and mist below the cliff were suddenly close to me, just like the illusion of being close to the water when diving.
Then with a cry, he felt himself falling into the clouds. Brando quickly grabbed some ropes. With his gold-level strength, he naturally didn't have to climb down the ropes bit by bit, but the last time he came to this place was at least ten years ago.
, in the game for nearly a hundred years, he was afraid that he would remember the wrong location, so he brought a rope for insurance.
After all, he can't soar in the sky without the elements of true enlightenment.
Brando stared at the mountain wall. Within a few seconds, a platform protruding from the bushes passed by his sight. He reacted very quickly, tightened his palms, and the rope in his hand immediately
There was a loud bang - the powerful reaction force pulled him back and forth in mid-air, and there was a smell of burning on the rope, but Brando didn't feel anything strange in his hands.
The physical fitness of the gold level has long been beyond the range that normal people can imagine.
He raised his head and looked up. The location of the platform was not much different from that in his memory. There was a height difference of more than ten meters from him. But this distance was almost non-existent to him. Brando gently swung the rope and approached the mountain.
Then he grabbed the jagged rocks and climbed up as nimbly as a monkey.
The bush-covered platform was almost exactly the same as in his memory. Brando looked around. The rock protruding from the mountainside was about the size of half a basketball court. But it was actually much wider. It was just that the dense trees and
The vines obscured most of his sight. He followed his memory and carefully walked in one direction, and then pulled apart the thick and intertwined vines.
With a crash, accompanied by the sound of sand rolling down, Brando did not use much strength to tear open the dead branches and leaves. Sure enough, a conical stone slab was exposed underneath. This stone slab was almost the same size as him.
High and two people wide, it looks a bit like the Wisdom Stone Statue (1) that is common in forests everywhere. However, what is drawn on it is not the image of Misoke, the weaver of magic and storms, but a black moon.
The Moon of Silence, the seventh moon of Eruin. This lightless moon can never be observed in the sky, but it does exist in history.
Without saying a word, Brando cleared the vines on the platform one by one, and then revealed another eleven similar stone tablets below. On each stone tablet, there was a moon, which in turn represented the moon above Eruin's sky.
The source of flowing destiny and magic.
This place is the palace of destiny.
Or what players call the job transfer station.
Brando has checked the information and found that these stone monument arrays were built by people older than the Miner people. The purpose of their construction seemed to be to stabilize the original law of Martha's tiamat on the entire Warnd continent.
, such formations of stone tablets exist in many places, but they are all built in extremely secretive places.
For example, the one in Tonigel was built on the border of the Black Forest of Grahar Mountain and has been buried for unknown years. However, when Brando went to these places in the game, these stone formations had already been cleared by previous players.
It's clean, so I won't waste so much time on it like today.
He carefully looked at the thin veins on the ground in the center of the stone tablet array, then raised his head and followed them to the center of the platform. These rune lines and veins with metallic light made him feel very familiar, and they were with him.
The energy transmission array seen underground in Valhalla is very similar, as if it was made by a civilization.
This doubt flashed through Brando's mind. Then he put away his mind and walked towards the center of the platform. Although these stone formations in Warnd contain various secrets, they only have one function in the game.
That is to allow players to receive their own elemental civilization tasks. (To be continued)
