After a group of people entered the forest, the blue light curtain slowly closed behind them, as if it was alive. They soon discovered that there were two completely different worlds inside and outside the light curtain. It was still after noon outside, but inside the light curtain it was already.
It was dusk, and there seemed to be a blue curtain hanging in the sky, with a few stars hanging in the distance, like a scene after dusk.
But a hundred steps away, there was darkness in the forest.
The huge contrast made everyone alert. Nymesis and Freya gently pulled out their swords and looked around. There seemed to be some kind of uneasiness hidden in the air, which made people feel chills in their chests.
Brando looked at the forest land full of strange shadows. This place was already in a valley, and the overlapping hills in the distance were immersed in the night. In the north, the sky was as dark purple as a silent night. These hills were in
It was called the 'Twilight Hill' in "The Amber Sword", and in his memory it should be the southwest corner of Breath of Milos.
At the entrance to this area, there should be a lair of the Dusk Dog, which is an ancient subspecies of canid terror. It has long been extinct in Warnd, but it is still distributed in small numbers in some black forests.
"My Lord Earl, as you said, which direction should we go now?" Laurenna interrupted his thoughts and asked.
"The guide mentioned that there should be a path leading to the 'Atrium' here," Brando silently recalled the words in the guide: "The Hill of Dusk is the best entrance to Milos, and the gatekeeper's lair is a dangerous place."
The beast's Dusk Dog, the passage passing through the Dusk Dog's lair extends to the north, leading to the 'Atrium'. There is a treasure hiding place at point a and point b. These two locations were called 'Fei' in 385 and 387 respectively.
The Wing Brigade and the Crystal Apple guild explored. If this dungeon was explored for the first time, then the treasure location mentioned in the guide might still exist. His eyes searched the forest,
Suddenly, he discovered that this endless valley was just a passage. Brando's gaze extended forward, and the dark green hills on both sides snaked towards the north, which was consistent with the description in the guide.
After confirming this, Brando made a plan: "Let's move along this valley. Be careful of the demons swimming on the road. Try not to use magic or activate magic props. Use open flames for lighting. Illuminating crystals are prohibited.
use."
Although the demon spirit is not a difficult creature to deal with, once a battle begins, the dissipated magic power will attract more monsters. Some players once said that the demon spirit is the siren in the Breath of Milos dungeon. This statement is not true.
Out of nowhere.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
Brando was somewhat satisfied. Although his understanding of this copy only limited to the strategy. But he knew that in an unknown environment, people are always willing to trust people who seem to have a good idea. As the most experienced person in the team
As a person, he shouldered this responsibility without hesitation.
He continued to order: "Qian, Medissa, you two open the way. Ms. Laurenna, please stop the rear."
"Okay, Lord Lord." Medisa nodded on Akane's behalf.
"No problem." Laurenna also raised her sheathed sword and put it on her chest. This was Cruz's knightly etiquette - which meant she was willing to take orders.
Since no one had any objections, the team quickly divided up the work. Qian and Medisa walked at the front as the eyes of the team, both holding spears and walking through the dense coniferous forest. Soon they noticed
As the team went deeper, the sky seen through the gaps between the layers of branches became darker and darker.
From the light red in the evening, it turned into light blue, then dark blue, and gradually became filled with stars. It became a scene of silent night. It was as if after walking in the forest for more than ten minutes, the sky changed from evening to dark blue.
late at night.
In fact, this is exactly the characteristic of Dusk Hill. This is the transition area of the Evernight Forest. It is not until you get deep into this area that you truly enter the center of the forest. The surrounding area gradually becomes dark, but Akane lit the torch.
It extends in all directions, dragging out long shadows in the forest from the densely packed cedar trunks around it, but where the light does not shine, the darkness appears to become deeper and deeper.
The team advanced for about half an hour, when Medissa suddenly noticed that dots of light began to appear in the deep darkness, and she immediately recognized that it was the demon spirit floating in the forest.
She grabbed Qian and raised her finger to make a 'careful' gesture to her.
"What is that?" Qian also noticed the light spots in the forest and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe it's a demon."
"So many!" Qian was startled. In her opinion, the number was indeed too much, and there were at least hundreds if counted. She looked at those floating spirits and seemed a little nervous for a moment.
"Don't worry," Medissa said softly: "Although demons are scary, they are notoriously blind. As long as they don't use magic, light is invisible to them. As long as we pay attention, it shouldn't be
There will be problems.”
Akane nodded doubtfully. In fact, Brando asked Medisa to be the team's spy, because he actually wanted to use her rich combat experience and the elf's natural acumen, and Brando's intention of arranging Akane as his partner was actually to protect the former.
After he advanced to the formal planeswalker position, Medissa was washed down to level one along with Ciel. Although they can now upgrade by gaining experience like him, they have only experienced less than a month, and their current strength is
It has only just returned to the initial level of Silver.
Since the planeswalker creature has the flaw of being unable to be resurrected, Brando has to be careful.
Akane glanced in that direction again, and when she looked back there was some confusion in her eyes, which seemed to mean - "What should we do now, Medissa?"
The little silver elf princess understood and reminded in a low voice: "Qian, see if you can go around on both sides."
Akane was slightly startled and looked at her suspiciously. Theoretically speaking, although Medisa was inferior to her in terms of strength, she was not unable to see clearly from such a long distance. But she seemed to be aware of the suspicion of the mountain girl.
, Medissa hurriedly explained: "This place seems to have some restrictions on us heroic spirits——"
After saying that, her face turned red. If it weren't for the fact that her 'level' had been wiped out, it was too difficult to explain, and she was really not good at lying. But to be honest, even she hadn't figured out what this level was yet.
Why are things closely related to one's own strength?
Fortunately, under the firelight, Akane didn't notice the slightest blush. She nodded and turned back, but her eyes swept across the valley and found that the demon spirits in the forest seemed to have blocked all the paths ahead.
After looking at it carefully for a while, she shook her head slightly.
"Isn't it possible?" Medisa pondered for a moment, and she immediately opened the spiritual connection and sent a message to Brando behind. Not long after, the bushes behind the two girls were separated with a 'crash', and Brando
A group of people had already walked out from there.
"Medissa, Akane."
After Brando got the news from Medisha, he probably guessed what was going on. He parted the bushes and walked out of the forest behind. When he looked up, he saw the dots of light in the darkness.
The Evernight Forest is a huge area, and the distribution of monsters in this area is very random. However, through exploration by players, many of the patterns have been found. Before that, the path he guided for Medisa and Akane was actually
There is a very remote trail up there. According to the guide above, most unnecessary battles can be avoided.
Since he wasted a lot of time in the Anlaser Forest before, Brando had to choose this road. But this road is not safe. There are two obstacles that cannot be bypassed on its only way.
Monster nodes. One of them is a place called the Pond of Demonic Spirits, and the other is stuck at the last pass before leading to the atrium, where they have to face the Dusk Dog and the Hick Demon.
Brando took a look at the astonishing number of demon spirits in the forest, and roughly determined the location here - the pool of demon spirits. Although it is not the lair of demon spirits, in some aspects it is actually better than a lair.
Demon spirits are real gold-level monsters in "Amber Sword". Normally, players in two groups would not even think about killing so many of them. But Brando happens to know an abnormal way to do it.
To deal with these monsters, in a dungeon that has been thoroughly explored by players in the later stages of the game, there really aren't too many weird strategies.
But he glanced over there, and then looked back. Before he was ready to pass here, he still had two things to do.
Brando judged the direction and glanced somewhere in the darkness, where he saw a huge cedar that required two or three people to surround it.
"Medissa, how tall are you?" he whispered.
The Silver Elf Princess was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that her lord would ask such a strange question. She hesitated for a moment, and then told Brando the answer in a spiritual connection with some embarrassment.
Even so, she still heard Charles chuckling on the side. Brando glared at that side, and then he said: "It's almost time, come next to me."
"Huh?" Medissa was a little confused, but she still did as she was told. Everyone had no idea what Brando was doing, and could only watch in confusion as the little silver elf princess walked up to Brando with some curiosity.
, "Lord, do you have any orders?"
"Now you are facing me." Brando said, looking at the cedar.
"Brando, what are you doing?" Freya was a little strange. In fact, everyone was as strange as him. If she hadn't asked, Feras who was eager to try would have already planned to speak.
"You'll find out later." Brando replied.
Medissa hesitated for a moment before taking a step closer. She was now almost face to face with Brando, and could even feel the faint breath coming from the lord. She blushed. Since being summoned by Brando, she
He has never been so close to his master and at such an ambiguous distance.
But Brando was not satisfied yet. He held her shoulders and adjusted her direction. Medisa was startled, and the tip of her nose touched Brando's chest several times.
"Brando!" Freya glared at Brando. If she hadn't considered that the enemy was nearby, she would have stabbed him with a sword.
But Brando didn't seem to hear it. Only at this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the game, the era of opening up wasteland dungeons with his trusted companions. He stared at the huge cedar and whispered to Medisha
:
"You start next to me now. Take ten steps back and tell me what you feel."
Brando's words sounded a bit like a riddle, but Medisa's trust in him had already reached the point where she could do everything without asking the reason. She was just slightly startled, then nodded and backed away slowly.
Everyone saw her take ten steps back and then stop.
"Tell me, what did you feel under your feet?" Brando asked.
Medisa's eyes lit up slightly. She looked very strange: "...I feel a weak magic power, like a magic mark. Lord, how do you know there is something here?"
But Brando obviously didn't intend to answer her question for the time being. He took the torch from Qian's hand and shined the torch at Medisa. The light of the fire immediately printed the shadow of the Silver Elf Princess to the ground, and the others followed suit.
Looking at Brando's eyes, he was stunned.
Because they saw the shadow behind Medisa clearly had a pair of translucent wings.
"This is...?" Ferras couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
But Brando secretly screamed 'Sure enough'. Among all the people, only Laurenna was keenly aware of the change in his expression. The female knight immediately asked: "Mr. Earl, do you know something?"
"
Brando breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and replied: "Demon spirits will not gather in a certain place for no reason. The origin of this place actually has some connection with the black tower wizard of Karasu."
"Black Tower Wizard?" Even Ciel was slightly startled at this moment. You must know that he was once a member of the Black Tower Wizard.
Brando smiled slightly. This time he was not lying. This can only be said to be a coincidence. The background of this place in the game does come from the Black Tower Wizard. "The Black Tower Wizard is the most powerful mage in Eruin."
Organization, like wizards in many other places, their curiosity for secrets and knowledge is unparalleled. Like the Buga wizards, in order to explore those lost secrets, the Black Tower wizards have also left their footprints all over every ruin in this kingdom. This area
The mysterious forest is no exception."
"Lord, you are saying that the Black Tower Wizard once sent an investigation team into this forest, and here..." Laurenna responded.
"It's almost as you guessed, but slightly different." Brando recalled the records of this place in the guide and replied: "The wizards of the Black Tower have entered this forest more than once in hundreds of years of history, except
The danger zone in the center. They kind of know this area already."
He looked at Laurenna and added: "You don't think that guy Anlek would rush into this forest rashly. Like me, there must be someone familiar with this forest around him. Maybe that guy
He is also a black tower wizard."
"But aren't the Black Tower Wizard and the Highland Knight allies? Brando..." Freya asked with some confusion.
"The forest is big, but there are all kinds of birds, and not all black tower wizards abide by the tower protocol." Charles immediately explained.
"That's right," Brando continued: "But this is not the main topic we want to discuss. Back then, the Black Tower wizards should have come here to destroy a very powerful demonic item. They hoped to use a certain
Formation to completely destroy the demonic thing from Jorgendigon——"
He paused for a moment: "However, there were traitors in the team at that time, and a wizard was tempted by the power of the devil. In the end, the entire operation fell short. It is said that the devil's items violently exploded on the magic circle, killing nearly a hundred of the Black Towers who were accompanying them.
The wizards and apprentices were blasted into ashes, and their souls were eroded by the dark magic, gradually forming demon spirits that lingered here."
"Nearly a hundred wizards?" Laurenna took a breath of air in disbelief. She could fully imagine what a tragic scene it was.
Everyone else also had a somewhat solemn expression on their faces.
But Brando just smiled. The whole incident was actually not as terrifying as they imagined. If the Black Tower Wizards had nearly a hundred official wizards at one time, the organization would probably not be far from falling apart. The official wizards that day included the traitor.
In fact, there are only twelve, and most of the others are apprentices.
But the demon spirit left behind is indeed a fact, he continued: "Of course, the demonic item is said to have been destroyed in the explosion, but the Black Tower Wizard still established an observation post here for insurance purposes. This post is said to have been used for nearly a hundred years.
, was abandoned until the last century.”
"Observation post?" Ferras was stunned and couldn't help but look around: "Why didn't I see it? Has it been demolished?"
"Of course not. The wizards' observation posts will naturally not be the fortress towers you have seen on weekdays." Nymesis, who had been silent at this time, suddenly spoke: "Brando, you were looking for that post before.
location?"
Brando nodded.
"That magic mark is a guidance point. The wizards' documents say that the outpost should be next to the cedar, in the direction pointed by the shadow of the wings behind Medissa."
"But I didn't see anything." Ferras looked over there and asked, "Maybe that thing is in the sky."
Brando stared at this guy speechlessly, and now he began to believe in this guy's shitty luck. Unexpectedly, the other person said it casually, and actually got it right.
He raised his head and replied: "Yes, the real sentry tower is in the sky. We have to find a way to summon it down."
"Summon it?" Laurenna frowned: "I understand, it can help us deal with these demon spirits, right? Since the wizards built such a sentry tower, its function is to prevent these demon spirits."
"That's right," Brando said with some approval. However, he understood that the knight lady from Cruz was not entirely right. In "The Amber Sword", many plot areas often have more than one way to pass. He
There is also a way to sneak through the valley without attracting the attention of those demon spirits - but Brando does not intend to give up such a large amount of experience, not to mention if the records in the guide are not false, the sentry tower should be in this copy.
One of the treasure trove locations.
This task is inherently an additional reward.
But naturally he couldn't say these words. He turned around and said: "Char, you should know the spell used by the black tower wizards to summon the mage tower."
Ciel immediately nodded and answered in his mind: "I forgot a lot after changing jobs, but at least I remember one or two. After all, the Black Tower Wizard was originally part of the Buga people."
"That's good," Brando glanced at the demon spirits in the distance and began to give the order: "It takes a certain amount of time to summon the sentry tower, but once we start casting spells, the demon spirits over there will find us. Therefore, summoning in Shire
When he is in the sentry tower, the task of others is to protect him and complete the mission."
As soon as Brando's words fell, it was like a signal for battle. Nymesis, Freya, Laurenna and his wife and the guards immediately drew their swords, and Qian and Medisa also picked up their spears. Everyone
Subconsciously, a semicircle was arranged around the current position of the Silver Elf Princess.
Brando showed a satisfied look. He also pulled out the Earth Sword and reminded: "The attack method of demon spirits is very simple. They rarely fight hand-to-hand, but note that their attacks can penetrate the entity's armor; also be careful with them.
The spell, Medissa, Qian, you stay to protect the caster and Haruze. Others find ways to get close to them quickly."
"clear."
"Char, you start."
The young mage attendant nodded. He stood behind Medisa and felt the location of the magic mark. Then he raised his staff and began to recite the spell to summon the wizard tower. This low-pitched spell seemed to be in the darkness.
An eye-catching signal, suddenly, everyone saw the dots of light in the forest stop slightly.
Then they suddenly rose into the air, as if looking for the source of the spell, hovered in a circle over the forest, turned around and rushed towards this side.
"The literature says that although most demon spirits were outstanding wizards during their lifetime, they have long forgotten those esoteric knowledge. The spells they are good at are just the use of pure dark magic. These disordered magic powers will not last too long.
Distance, they usually launch the first wave of spell attacks a hundred feet away." Medissa looked at the light groups and was the first to warn.
The demon spirits floating in the darkness were extremely fast and were already close by. Only then did everyone see their images clearly. These light groups shining brightly in the darkness looked like a human or elf with an upper body.
They almost still retain their appearance in life, except that their faces and chests are covered with patterns eroded by dark magic, and there are no eyeballs in their eye sockets, leaving only darkness.
This terrifying appearance left a deep impression on everyone, and His Royal Highness the little prince even screamed in fright.
"To be exact, it's one hundred and forty-one feet." Brando stared at that direction, raised his sword, and "measure the distance yourself."
The demon spirits have stopped at the edge of the forest. The distance is exactly the same as in Brando's memory, which is also the farthest range of their spells. These twisted creatures raised their hands, and their hands became ugly due to the distortion of magic power.
Sharp and long, black flames suddenly shot out from these slender fingertips.
These tentacle-like black flames intertwined together, and at that moment it was like a big black net falling from the sky, about to envelop everyone in it.
