Act Eleven: Into the Night

Act 11 Nightfall

All the way back to the refugee team, Brando learned that Tamar had been looking for him after waking up from a coma in order to thank him for the rescue last night. At that time, he saw Brando, Charles, and

The rider left the refugee team together and followed him all the way. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into Brando performing a forbidden spell.

However, Brando was not worried that Tamar would turn around and report him to the Temple of Fire. On the one hand, he felt that this tough middle-aged man did not look like that kind of person, and on the other hand, Tama could not provide any evidence.

But what Brando didn't know was that he was surprised by Tamar's identity, but the other party also found him mysterious. The middle-aged man had only seen descriptions of the forbidden art of blood magic circle in some parchment documents. In fact, even

He didn't know how to use this access control technique - at that time, he just deduced that the other party was using this access control spell based on the backlash effect of the magic circle that Brando might have suffered.

But I have to say that even so, he guessed right. Such acumen and talent are really not something ordinary people can possess.

However, Tamar has no prejudice against the forbidden arts. Now, which of the nobles does not violate the forbidden arts? The Temple of Fire also strictly prohibits the sale and smuggling of slaves, but this dirty business is not as prosperous in the border areas.

, and even clergy in some places are complicit.

In comparison, he now hopes to discuss the other party's alchemy skills with the young noble. The middle-aged man thought about it again and again before asking: "Sir, what do you want to create?"

When Brando thought that the future master of alchemy would actually call him "Sir", he couldn't help but feel a little carried away: "I need to synthesize a batch of soul crystals. The materials are the remains of high-level undead. I want to use them to make a soul statue."

In fact, what he wants to do is a soul statue (white deer). This thing is a relatively simple type of soul statue. It can summon the soul of a white stag. In the ancient legend of Warnd, the white stag

Living in an ancient oak forest, the quiet sunshine shines on the island in the middle of this grove, symbolizing the resting place of the soul - so the white deer is very sensitive to the soul, and Brando will use it to smell out the soul hidden in the forest.

Ghosts in the spiritual world.

That may be the first mid-level undead unit they are about to encounter, the most terrifying killer and informant of the undead wizard in the night.

"Soul statue?" Tamar couldn't help but be a little surprised. The soul statue is just a simple alchemy product. Its only difficulty lies in the difficulty of obtaining the materials. It is hard for this middle-aged alchemist to imagine that Brando would use a door lock.

To practice the art of becoming a soul statue?

"Mr. Tamar, you don't have to be confused. It's actually because of the lack of alchemy tools on hand..." Brando saw through the other party's doubts and replied.

Tamar almost fell to the ground after hearing this. One of the reasons why the Blood Refining Technique is so powerful in the records and is called a Forbidden Technique is because it can be used on the battlefield through quick and concise means, which is unmatched by ordinary alchemy techniques.

Advantages. However, the blood alchemy activates the advanced magic circle, and the backlash on one's own body is also terrifying.

In the past wars between the light camp and the dark kingdom, alchemists used blood magic circles to sacrifice themselves to summon powerful artifact creatures to turn defeat into victory - but all in all, the core of this technique lies in sacrifice, which is different from the general light doctrine.

It's completely contradictory, so it's banned.

But now this young aristocratic young man actually regards it as a substitute for 'alchemy tools'. After all, a professional alchemist must carry the tools with him even if he loses his life.

"Well, sir. In fact, I also have tools at hand. If you don't mind, you can use mine. Forbidden spells like blood magic circle, which are very harmful to your body, it is better to use them sparingly." It took Tamar a long time to react.

said.

"Of course I don't mind, then I'll trouble you -" There are ready-made alchemy tools that Brando can use. Of course, Brando will not bleed himself stupidly. Although No. 5 Holy Water is not as powerful as No. 7 Holy Water, it is

Being able to save it is also a precious medicine that can save someone's life at a critical moment.

Being able to reduce the cost of alchemy and unexpectedly gain a future master of alchemy made Brando feel good. For the first time in several days, he felt relieved, which allowed him to easily communicate with Charles and Tamar.

Individuals walked while discussing alchemical techniques.

As a wizard apprentice, Charles has not yet truly mastered alchemy skills, but all the highland wizard mentors in Karasu Black Tower are masters of alchemy, and his familiarity with them can be considered extraordinary.

And Brando possesses level 5 alchemy knowledge. Even if he takes Eruin's formal alchemy exam, he can easily obtain the title of first-level professional alchemist; compared to this time, he is still a Tamar wandering outside the door, saying

To be honest, he is more like an alchemical genius.

Tamar benefited a lot from discussions with them, but this middle-aged man had some wild ideas that frightened Brando. He knew that the other party lacked opportunities and external environment, otherwise he would one day become the legendary

Grandmaster.

After all, alchemy is an extremely expensive skill: each of these intermediate-level corpse witch teeth like the ones he used before would cost more than three hundred tols on the black market or wizard market.

And a full thirty pieces are needed to make a simple white deer statue.

The three of them were discussing, but Brando saw Freya walking drowsily along the long line of refugees. What was going on? He was stunned, and couldn't help walking over and waving his hand in front of the other party.

After shaking, there was no response, so Brando had no choice but to pat the other person on the forehead——

Freya was startled and woke up suddenly: "You, what are you doing!" She saw clearly that it was Brando, and couldn't help showing a gnashing expression: "Brando! Where have you gone?

, so many people came again, I’m almost overwhelmed!”

Her voice became smaller and smaller, not as if she was complaining, but as if she was aggrieved. Brando asked her to lead these refugees, and she did her best, but as the number of refugees increased this day, she had already

She almost felt exhausted. In fact, like Brando, she hadn't slept once in the past few days. And compared to Brando, she was under a lot more pressure.

When Charles and Tamar saw Brando and Freya talking, they took a step back in a tacit understanding, and then continued the previous discussion. As for what happened between this young man and the girl with a long ponytail, they

Just pretend you didn't see it.

The so-called bystander knows that Brando was completely unaware of Freya's special dependence on him - but the young wizard retinue was interested in watching the show. As for Tamar, the honest middle-aged alchemist thought that this

The young lady is the fiancée of this young nobleman.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"There are so many people, how can we have time? Brando, you know, it seems that the White Mane Swordsmen regiment has been defeated. We just received a lot of soldiers who retreated from the Jianshi River Valley. It is said that many people died..."

Freya rubbed her eyes, which were as red as rabbits, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Brando was stunned, this silly girl couldn't do everything by herself. He couldn't help but help his forehead: "You don't want to do everything by yourself, right?"

"Then, what should we do?" Freya looked at him blankly.

"Isn't there Leto, Uncle Mano and the others? If it doesn't work, why don't you promote a few people from the refugees, give them power, and let them help you?" Brando felt that this pony-tailed girl was simply an idiot.

Root tendons.

"Ah, you, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Brando tapped her forehead: "It has nothing to do with me, it's because you are too stupid."

Freya blushed immediately and pushed his hand away: "I, I'll talk to you later -" After saying that, she turned around and ran away as if she was on fire, leaving only a turbulent figure behind. Bran

Duo saw the undulating ponytail from behind and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"How's it going?" As soon as Freya left, Ciel followed up from behind with a smile.

Brando picked up the water bag and was stunned: "What about it?"

"Freya, she is a very nice girl. She has a kind heart and is so serious and cute. Can't you see, Lord, she actually likes you." The young mage retinue replied.

Brando had just raised his head and drank a sip of water, and now he couldn't help but spurt it out.

"What did you say?"

"I said, Miss Roman and Miss Freya - this is a big trouble, Lord."

Brando spent the entire afternoon carving out a suitable container, because after all, it was the first alchemical work. At first, he had to complete the white stag base by himself, but after killing several pieces of fir

Kigo Brando soon discovered the gap between dreams and reality.

The best finished product in his hands looked more like a carrot than a stag. In desperation, he had to entrust this work to Tamar. Most professional alchemists should actually be good at crafts and tailoring.

Painting and even blacksmithing skills - of course, except for Brando, who is half-assed.

When we stepped out of the carriage, it was almost evening, and the sun gradually sank beneath the undulating mountains to the west. The afterglow of the setting sun coated the mountains with a beautiful layer of bronze, and the tips of the fir forests in the distance shone like they were dyed with gold powder.

Same.

Brando held the carriage with one hand and looked at the sunset on the horizon. He couldn't help but think that if he kept heading west in that direction, he would eventually encounter a high mountain that stretched into the clouds - the Kalanga Mountains, a majestic mountain.

It continues to meander westward, forming a peninsula in the inner sea of ​​the Dead Moon.

He remembered that his first long-distance team adventure in the game was along that forest and finally arrived at the east coast of the Dead Moon Inner Sea.

This is the world, presented so truly before his eyes.

After leaving the carriage, Brando spent some time looking for Roman, but he searched for a long time and couldn't find where the future business lady had gone again. In fact, the business lady had been going on her own adventure all day long.

Most of the time you can't see her.

This young lady seems to have unlimited energy and always helps a lot in the refugee team. In fact, her enthusiasm has won her a reputation among the refugees. Brando can hear it everywhere she goes.

The people who fled were talking about 'that lady' or 'what about that lady'——

The last time he looked at the sky, it was starting to get dark.

At about half past seven, Brando ordered the refugee team to stop in a deep valley. The light here was even dimmer, and the mountain walls on both sides were dim and unclear. The shadows made it difficult to see what seemed to be under the shadow.

There is something hidden. When the fog begins to form in the mountains, the sound of the night owl in the distance is terrifying.——

But Brando knew that only in a place like this could he avoid the sight of Madara's skeleton vultures in the sky. At night, it was the time when ghosts appeared.

After settling the refugees, Brando asked the Self-Defense Group to cut wood on the nearby hillside. He asked them to make a batch of simple spears in a short time to supplement the newly added manpower.

His core strength is still the cavalry team headed by the security cavalry, Mano and others, which has now expanded to more than fifty people. Since this day, he has received nearly a hundred mercenaries and white-maned light infantry.

With the addition of militiamen recruited from refugees, this number can be doubled.

So now he has no shortage of manpower, but what he lacks is weapons. The self-defense group still has three people sharing a sword, which reminds him of the revolutionary ancestors of his own world.

On the other side, Brando asked Ciel to gather together some of his leading figures, such as Leto, Mano, Uriel, and the newly joined Bartome and others today - these people were respectively

He must explain to the few small circles that represent the strength of his men the plan that must be implemented tonight to avoid things going wrong.

At eight o'clock, the last trace of light sank below the horizon, and the twelve stars of the Witch Throne were the first to appear in the eastern sky——

Brando stood on the top of the valley with these people. While he looked at the refugees in the valley below who were busy setting up camps, he said: "You also saw the situation during the day today. The White Mane Legion and most of the refugees were in Jianshi."

The news of what happened in the river valley must have reached most of you. Madara's tactical intention is not just to drive us away. On the contrary, they want to kill us so that the news of the fall of Fort Reeden can reach the Vatican as late as possible.

Mir——"

"Then what are we going to do, sir? The number of the undead army at this time has far exceeded ours. Our riders said that they saw a large sea of ​​skeletons in the west. They move slowly during the day, but at night they will cover the mountains and plains.

"Mano raised his head and asked.

"And zombies," another added.

"Of course there is a way, but escaping is impossible. Because of Luc Besson's failure, most of the 'Dead Maggots' and Kabasi's elite have circled in front of us, and we must find a shortcut from the other side.

Brando replied: "So, have you ever heard of the Place of the Saint's Remains?"

Everyone was startled.
