Act 128: The Dragon and the Journal

Fog filled street.

The girl in the candle shop walked slowly forward holding a bundle of suet candles. The White Rose Avenue in the Gray City was reviving in the first light of the morning. The owner of the imperial capital grocery store, Ma Perry, was opening the door and saw

Say hello as a girl:

"Seti, so early?"

"Good morning, Mr. Mapelli!" Setitian responded with a smile: "Because there is a rush in the palace, so naturally it will be earlier."

"I saw you working very late yesterday. Isn't this too hard?"

"Ah, because my father's legs are not very flexible, this is what I should do as a daughter."

"Old Chris is so lucky to have such a good daughter like you." The owner of the grocery store complained angrily: "Unlike that bastard boy from my family."

The girl held the candle, pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to answer when suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves on the road leading to the Holy Silver Palace. Everyone closed their mouths subconsciously, and the pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides.

, Seti stood in the crowd holding a candle, frowning and looking towards the south of the avenue.

The fog rolled up.

A dark carriage appeared at the end of the field of vision like a ghost. Dozens of knights in gray cloaks galloped past like a whirlwind, clearing the way for it. The horses the knights sat on were as black as ink, and the armor on their bodies was as black as ink.

Like a flame.

Gray Knights of the Temple of Fire.

The carriage passed by slowly, and people started talking again.

"They are from the Kirk family," the grocery store owner Ma Perry looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared. He turned back and said, "Setti, I heard that the nobles lost the battle in the south. Your brother..."

"My brother must be fine."

Opposite the Rose Garden gate of Palazzo San Conti, a pure white avenue leads to the tree-lined area of ​​the Royal Garden.

In the Palace of San Cantibe, the black marble is like a carpet, and the roses made of silver extend outward along the dark ground; the supreme emperor of the empire is sitting on the famous stone throne with a long and narrow backrest, and is slightly sideways.

Go too far and listen to the monks of the Temple of Fire ring the golden bell seven times.

The famous motto is engraved on her head. Three inches below the rose there must be thorns. The silver queen of the Cruz people and their supreme empress. Constance has a baby face. Her body is also maintained for special reasons.

In her original appearance when she was young, she had long blond hair that almost reached her waist and looked like an exquisite doll. But in fact, this girl-like queen was already a mother of seven children and a typical Cruz person.

In the eyes of other ethnic groups, a typical Cruz means arrogance, arrogance, and imperialism. Within the political territory of the empire, this represents toughness and iron fist, which is particularly prominent in Her Majesty the Queen.

The queen's gaze was straight ahead, and in her field of vision was the scenery she had seen day after day. There was no gate to the Golden Palace, and the emperor's power had no limitations. Wherever she looked, there was not only the territory of the empire, but also the rear of the empire's conquerors.

garden.

But there, the clouds in the sky north of the palace were low and rolling, as if a rare storm was brewing. This storm has never been experienced by Warnd in a thousand years, and no one may have seen it even further back, so it is not possible at this moment.

Someone will understand. What a magnificent era it will usher in for the world.

Looking straight ahead, the Silver Queen's eyes never fell on her courtiers, but she suddenly waved her hand irritably, interrupting the words of the courtiers below.

"I don't want to hear you discuss what happened in the south. The Eshric family, the eldest daughter of your empire who is well known to everyone, provoked the druids in the Ring of Trade Winds. I can forgive that."

"The Rupert family, Williams suffered a defeat at the hands of the Eruin people, but he is already dead, and the dead have no sin."

"I just want to find out two things. First, who gave Williams the power to mobilize the border fleet? Second, who is the Eruin man who defeated us, the newly promoted Count Tonigel?

, will he use the weapons of heaven, and what is his relationship with those arrogant knights in the north?"

As soon as Constance's calm words fell, an old man sweating profusely knelt out from the direction occupied by the Williams family in the hall: "Your Majesty, please kindly grant us this gift."

Given the chance, we will definitely find out that person. He is not only an enemy of the empire, but also an enemy of our family."

Constance just glanced at Duke Cecil

She raised her head: "Eruin is no longer important to today's empire. I only want them to agree to participate in the holy war in the name of the temple. Since Buga's wizards want to intervene, let them take it away. As long as they don't

It will be fine if it falls into the hands of the elves of Saint Osol."

"But Her Majesty the Queen, Eruin has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Temple of Fire." A voice came, and the Queen moved her eyes over there, and found that the person who interrupted her was the chief priest Quik. She was faceless.

His expression changed, and he just asked lightly: "Priest Quaker, are you talking to me now about academic affairs or government affairs?"

Quick's expression changed, and then he remained silent.

"I am very concerned about the rumors that the Azure Spear was discovered in Eruin. I will leave this matter to you."

Constance stood up from the throne. She was very short, but no one dared to underestimate her. For a moment, no one in the Palace of St. Cantibe dared to take a breath. The queen looked around, and then she was accompanied by the chamberlain.

leave.

In a corner of the Palais de San Canti, the Kirk family and the Ashrico family were almost together. Duke Helix and Count Rodney watched the queen leave. The latter couldn't help but smacked his lips: "You have no contact with His Majesty.

Before, it was really hard to imagine that such a woman had controlled the empire for forty years. It is shameful to say that when I was young, I regarded her as an object of fantasy."

"Your Majesty just accidentally changed her appearance to her youth due to special experiences. Seriously speaking, when I was your age, Your Majesty was already like this." Duke Helix's temples were gray and gray.

With his eyebrows straight into his temples, this old aristocrat's face was full of wind and frost, but he had no airs when talking to Earl Rodney, who was a generation younger than him. Everyone knew that the Kirk family and the Ashrico family in the flower-leaf collar had a close relationship.

Very recently, the contemporary head of the Ashrico family, Veronica, was even the swordsmanship teacher of Helix's two granddaughters. "Your Majesty's body has not been as good as before in recent times, otherwise she would not agree to let this generation

The princes are going out for training."

Earl Rodney nodded. At the same time, he looked at Archduke Cecil, who was left aside by the Silver Queen, with some pity. He gloated: "The Cecil family is going to be in trouble this time. Williams really left them behind."

What a big trouble."

"Don't be too happy too early." The Duke shook his head disapprovingly. At his age, he has seen too many ups and downs: "Although that old guy Cecil is trembling in front of His Majesty, he is afraid of you and me.

There is still room for improvement.”

"Against us?" Rodney was a little confused: "Why would he want to deal with us? We didn't provoke him. Is he crazy?"

"You have to ask that sister of yours. Your Majesty and we both know what good things she has done in the Ring of Trade Winds. You'd better give her some advice. Don't get too close to those Eruin people.

Judging from His Majesty's tone, he may not be satisfied with what she did before." Duke Helix replied.

"Hey," Earl Rodney sighed, obviously thinking of Veronica: "How can I persuade her? She has her own ideas. But I think His Majesty has asked her to be the eldest prince's teacher.

I’m sure you won’t be too merciless.”

The Duke patted the young man on the shoulder, "So our situation may not be that much better than Cecil's. We can only blame you and me for our bad luck. At this time, we got involved with Eruin. A few days ago, Vero

Nika has offended one of the most powerful people in the royal capital by sending back the Prime Minister's precious daughter. In addition, during the last trip to the Ring of Trade Winds, the parents of those whose descendants have died may not treat us well.

satisfy."

"It's that serious. So what should we do now?" Rodney suddenly felt a little creepy.

"Find someone."

"Find someone?"

Duke Helix nodded. "Don't worry about other people's attitudes. What we have to do is to change His Majesty's attack on us. And His Majesty's meaning is already obvious. She doesn't care about Eruin's position. She just wants that.

The azure spear."

"Wait a minute, Azure Spear...are you talking about Count Tonigel?"



‘Scroll Moon, 22nd, sunny

Thanks to the efforts of the guide, our carriage passed the White Rose Castle Pass as scheduled. It is said that only on the side of the Anlek mountains close to the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon can we see the carriage and the sailboats on the sea in a line

Parallel wonders, but it is a pity that God did not allow us to do so. Since it was the season after summer, due to the relationship between the wind direction and ocean currents, there were very few ships on the sea near Derdetar. On this afternoon, we finally

Saying goodbye to the pain of trekking for several days, we arrived in Lantouniland.

Luther, recorded in Odape’

Brando obviously didn't expect that someone was still discussing him thousands of miles away. All he had to do now was answer Veronica's question.

"The awakening god?"

The awakening god Sulash is a legend that has always existed in "The Amber Sword".

In the game, there are a total of eight bosses in the team copy in the center of the Dead Frost Forest: the little daughter of Isis, the dim Kou Hua; the disaster twins Mayne and Mel of the Twilight Wolf Clan. The Ice Devourer who occupies the Luohua Hall

The giant insect; the chief wizard of the Black Fire Cult, Eric the 'Illusionist'; the autonomous defense weapon of the Heart of Milos, the Core of Frost. The leader of the Black Fire Cult, Rodrik the 'Head of the Black Fire', and now...

They are together with the Door God, Frost Dragon, and Star.

However, in fact, there has been a rumor circulating among players that there should still be a hidden boss in this temple. The god who is about to awaken, Sulash.

This rumor started from a series of quest chains that existed in Faenzan in the North: There is a diary that can trigger a task at the headquarters of the Far Eagle Knights in White City. The owner of the diary is the former Grand Master of the Far Eagle.

, the identity itself is nothing special, but the content recorded in the diary is very bizarre.

In his previous life, Brando later went to the Kingdom of Knights, Gracius, and did this task during the journey, so he still remembered the contents of that diary.

The diary records the story of the Grand Master in his youth. At that time, he was just an ordinary mercenary and had no connection with the famous mercenary knights Farland Eagle. The diary records that he went with an archaeological team to

The owner of the diary is very proud of his adventure travel experiences around the world, because these are indeed rare experiences for ordinary people, but there are also some things that the owner of the diary can't understand.

One of the most famous is the Mystery of Odape.

The diary states that in the summer of 312, which was the Year of Thunder, more than half a century ago, Anson XI of Eruin had just ascended the throne and promulgated a militia training decree. Eruin's renaissance era had just begun.

, the owner of the diary came to this small kingdom on the border of Cruz with his archaeological team.

They crossed the plateau at the junction of Eruincruz, inspected the ruins left by the Miners there, and then headed south, crossing Ampessel, and arrived at a fishing village in Odapé. There, the owner of the diary described something they

Interesting things to see.

They discovered that the local residents were worshiping a god with a specific image.

'This is really an interesting thing. Local residents described the god as having a face like thunder, eyes like flames, and skin shining like silver. He comes from the south every night, riding on fire, and patrols the sky.

After a circle, he returned to the south. But as far as I know, since the azure knight penetrated the sky and caused the stars to fall to the ground, the disputes between the gods were settled. After that, the gods and the gods left Warend together. Although

The laws they left behind still protect our world, but the concrete gods no longer exist in this land.'

This is described in the diary. But what is surprising is that in the following days, the owner of the diary and his party also witnessed the arrival of the god:

'A red pillar of fire rose from the south. The flames seemed to burn all over the night sky in that direction, and the entire night sky was red. Then I witnessed such a miracle with my own eyes. A road that did not exist seemed to appear in the sky. A man with a specific image

The god walked along it, circled the sky once, and then returned to the pillar of fire. In order to prove that I am not fabricating the facts out of thin air, I record here the face of the god I saw. His skin seemed to be illuminated by flashes of light.

Made of bright metal, silver light flows throughout the body, surrounded by lightning, and golden flames spurt out of the eyes.'

Afterwards, the archaeological team set off to the south, preparing to investigate the matter. But unfortunately, when passing through Shuanglin Town between Bida Vernon and Jinlin Forest, they were attacked by a dragon. The dragon did not kill them, but

All their supplies were taken away, and as a last resort, they had to cancel this impromptu trip.

After returning to Baicheng, the owner of the diary has always been worried about this matter, but unfortunately, this trip became his last long-distance trip. Not long after that, he joined the Eagles of the Far Land for unavoidable reasons. Although he was outstanding

His knowledge and talents allowed him to quickly become a senior member of the mercenary knights and rise to the center of power, but what he saw in the fishing village of Odapé has always been an unanswered question in his mind.

This question continued until the owner of the diary passed away, but did not return to dust until the player discovered the diary.

The fishing village of Odapé was expanded into Violet Castle for the Earl of Odapé in the Year of the Water Principle, and became the center of the Odapé region. Today, to the south of Violet Castle is the Dead Frost Forest.

According to historical documents, since the year of Lin Ying, local residents have no longer seen visions in the night sky. Although this incident once alarmed the Havilland Church in Lantoniland (an autonomous sect of the Temple of Fire)

, but the adventure group organized by the church never took off. After about a year and a half, the number of visions gradually decreased, and the matter was dropped.

For this reason, there are very few written records about this god who once appeared briefly in history, which brought great difficulties to the player's subsequent investigation. Even if the player's strength has grown to the point where he can enter death alone.

Frost Forest, but still failed to solve this unsolved mystery.

The question in the mind of the leader of the Far Eagle has since become the most mysterious legend among players.

"So, if that's what Anlek is really looking for, it would be easy." Brando skipped the player part and explained the diary to Veronica and others: "If

If Sebos, the King of Frost Knights, really wants to remind us of this, it might save us a lot of time."

"What do you mean, Lord Earl?" Before Veronica could speak, the scholar lady Shiduo standing next to her couldn't bear her curiosity and asked: "Is there some important information recorded in that diary?"

Not really.

Brando thought that if this was the case, this mystery would not become one of the biggest unsolved questions in the minds of subsequent players.

But the problem is, now they have an unexpected gain.

In fact, both Brando and Veronica's eyes fell on Star.

But before them, the first one to speak was the little female dragon Aloz.

"Let's tell you what's going on." Aloz stared at his kind with golden eyes and showed his white fangs as a threat: "Don't tell me you didn't hear what that guy said just now.

Otherwise I will twist your ears off."

"No!" Little Fat Dragon covered his ears pitifully and screamed: "I don't know, I've been here for a long time, but I've been sleeping for a long time, and you know that,

Sister Aloz."

"Really, so you robbed someone else's convoy while you were sleepwalking?" The little female dragon snorted coldly, suddenly rushed over and pinched Star's ear, causing the latter to scream like a pig.

. She said viciously: "Don't try to lie to me, tell the truth!"

"Wow, wow, wow, be gentle, sister! I said, I said!" Star screamed. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
