Act 24: The Lionheart Sword

Act 24 The Lion-Hearted Sword

"This sentence was not originally brought to you, but I think you can do it." Alberton was silent for a moment, raised his head and looked at the young man, and said.

Brando was riding on the horse, holding the reins with one hand and hesitated for a long time without answering.

Alberton knew that he would not fully believe in him, but he didn't care. The undead knight puffed up his chest - raised his sword and pressed it in front of his left knee, kneeled on his right knee, and placed his hands on the pure silver gauntlet of the Pale Fang.

Above, read: "Two moons shine together, the king sleeps in the valley, the shadow of the holly tree points to the northwest, the stars fade away, the morning light descends the authority——"

Brando's expression didn't change after hearing this. He passed by Alberton on horseback, and then turned the horse's head and circled back. There are a lot of these specious puzzles in the game, but he was not in this area before.

The master of "Two Moons Glowing Together" naturally refers to the moment when Warnd's two moons appear together in the sky. The king is buried in the valley. The first thing that makes him think of is the place where the saint's bones are, but then he thinks that it may also be the place where the remains of the saint are.

The tomb of a certain late king of Luyin is located.

The shadow of the holly tree points to the northwest, and Brando frowns slightly. It seems that Eruin does not have a holly tree species. Is it just a metaphor? Or does it refer to the emblem of a certain noble? But the holly tree is in Warnde's heraldry.

Representing holiness, there are many noble families with holly leaves on the Eruin family emblem.

As for the stars fading away and the morning light descending the authority, Brando couldn't figure it out at all.

Alberton deliberately left him time. It saw Brando raise his head again, and then read again: "The double-sided stone statue is silent. Have you ever forgotten the oath of the sage? The Emerald Lake, the Holy White Mountain,

A stone within a stone, a sword within a sword—"

"Wait!" Brando suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it. He suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement. The sword in the sword? Could it be that Alberton was talking about the real Lion Heart Sword?

The Lion's Heart Sword is a sword passed down from generation to generation by the family of the first king of Eruin, the 'Merciful Ek'. But the Lion's Heart Sword is not only a symbol of the Lion Dynasty, but also one of Cruz's four sacred objects at that time——

But since Ek brought it out of the empire, it has become a symbol of the Eruin royal family.

However, what is not well known is that the Lion Heart Sword was actually lost during the civil war in Eruin. After that, every king who succeeded to the throne held nothing but a fake. However, the number of people who knew this secret was extremely limited. Once it was revealed,

It is expected to cause a huge wave.

Brando only learned of such a thing after Eruin's demise.

If Alberton is indeed talking about the Lionheart Sword, then the second half of this riddle makes sense. The Oath of the Saints should be talking about the Holy Knight's Oath that Ekko swore in the Lionheart Sword to lead the people in the southern part of the empire.

Breaking away from the arrogant and greedy nobles, he rose up in rebellion, hence the benevolent meaning in his title.

But what do the emerald lake, the holy white mountain, and the stone within the stone mean? Brando couldn't help but be confused for a moment.

It is said that the real Lion Heart Sword has the power to control the rise and fall of the kingdom. This seems to be the case. Since Eruin lost the real Lion Heart Sword, each generation has declined and eventually perished. However, Brando does not believe this statement.

The rise and fall of a kingdom is linked to a sword, and no matter how legendary the sword is, it is just a way to shirk responsibility.

It's just that he must be curious about where this sword is legendary and why it is widely circulated in the bard's stories. According to the forum, this sword is at least a gold-level fantasy weapon.

So he couldn't help but ask: "What is the Emerald Lake?"

Unexpectedly, Alberton shook his head: "I don't know either. It's just that I often think about and remember these two sentences, and there is even a sacred oath that binds me. But I don't know if these memories ever come from

Where did it come from and why is it always so pervasive?"

"Not every undead likes to reminisce." Brando replied. He suddenly felt that Alberton might not have been such a simple person during his lifetime. At least in his memory, Alberton had nothing to do with the royal family.

"I am special, and I understand this myself." Alberton replied. The undead knight adjusted his helmet and continued: "Most of the undead living in the darkness are intelligent, but I am different from them.

, so I don’t trust them, but when I saw you, young man, I thought maybe you could help me solve this mystery.”

Brando did not answer. He thought what Alberton said seemed true, but he would not believe it. He was thinking about what the Emerald Lake, the Holy White Mountain, and the Stone within the Stone were.

He suddenly noticed that the double-sided stone statue was silent, and couldn't help but shudder.

The double-sided stone statue is silent. Could it be that it is referring to the stone sage in the southern basin of Denel? The more Brando thinks about it, the more likely it is that it is possible. If the revelation is in the stone sage, it will be a bit troublesome. Let the stone sage

If you want to speak, you will at least need the Philosopher's Slate.

But where do we go to get the Philosopher's Stone? The nearest Philosopher's Stone should arrive in Prague in half a month. The black market price is 500,000 Tor, which is not a small sum of money.

The only good thing is that the basin where the Stone Sage is located is in the same direction as what he is going to do next. This can save a lot of time. Brando really doesn't have much time.

After thinking about this, he sat down on the horse and asked, "That's all you have to say?"

Alberton nodded: "I have one more request."

"you say."

Brando looked back and saw that under the command of Leto and Mano, the battle in the valley was coming to an end.

Alberton took off the badge on his chest and said: "I hope to die like a real knight, at least let my sword and my armor accompany me forever - this badge is called the Lion Badge, and it has powerful magical power.

, it means nothing to me now, so I will pass it on to you - and this is my pocket, there are some things in it that may be useful to you."

Brando knew that as long as he was willing, in addition to these things, he could also get the White Fang. He originally wanted to give the sword to Freya. But he looked at the 'White Knight' and finally nodded.

Both of them knew that an oath was meaningless compared to a dead person and a living person. It was better to believe in each other's promises. The reason why Alberton said so much to him was probably because he believed in him. Based on this alone, Bran

If you do more, you won’t go back on your word.

certainly.

Alberton must die, the refugees will not tolerate an undead high-ranking general with them——

Brando took the badge and glanced at it. There was a lion's head engraved on the brass surface: "Lion badge, conflict aura +1." Skill badge! Brando almost shuddered and dropped the badge from his hand.

Going on, conflict aura is the core skill of the Templars, with a maximum level of twenty-nine. Non-professionals can only cultivate to level ten. It initially adds 1 point of protection. Each level before level ten adds an additional 0.5 point of protection. After level ten, each level adds an additional point of protection.

Each level increases the protection by 1 point, and after level 20, the protection increased by each level increases in an arithmetic sequence.

That is, the conflict aura at level 21 adds 2 points of protection, level 22 adds 3 points, and so on. Originally, this skill can add 10 points of protection when it reaches level 29, but adding an extra level to this badge will give you 11 more points of protection in vain.

ah.

What is the concept of 11 points of protection? It is almost equivalent to 14mm of frontal armor, which is almost equivalent to the defensive power of three sets of full-body plate armor.

The moment Brando took this badge, he decided on his own development route, Templar! Because he also knew that there was an all-steel armor with +1 conflict aura skill, and there was also a lion shield with +1

Conflict Aura. With this combination, he can get nearly 40 additional points of protection after advancing to the Templar level.

It was simply a mobile fortress, and it wasn't just him. All the soldiers within sixty feet around him were equivalent to tanks. So what was the concept of charging into battle on the battlefield?

Brando suddenly remembered that Alberton was wearing full steel armor back then. No wonder it was known for its terrifying defensive power among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the late Madara period. Alberton the Conqueror was worthy of being the Conqueror Aibo who charged into battle.

Burton.

However, although his heart was turbulent, his face remained calm. After days of life and death experiences, Brando felt more and more mature than before. If he wanted to get such a badge in the game, he would still have to do it.

I don't know how it will turn out.

He put away the badge and opened the opponent's pocket to take a look. However, he immediately discovered that the white knight's collection was not rich. It was filled with low-level materials. The most valuable thing was a few pieces of fine gold - which was used to make the entire collection.

The material of the steel armor, it seems that the future Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has already started making plans at this time, and it also knows the power of this badge.

Brando couldn't help but raise his head and glance at each other.

"No other requirements?" he asked.

Alberton shook his head: "Please do it."

Brando knew that it would be a disgraceful thing for him to let him die here alone. The knight must at least die in the hands of the enemy on the battlefield and return to the embrace of the earth. He did not have time to let Alberton

Return to the earth, but at least it can fulfill his previous wish.

Charles drew his sword and stepped forward, but Brando stopped him.

He himself pulled out the elf sword with a cold sweat on his head, and then looked at each other with Ebdon. Then he walked over on horseback, struggled to bend down and pierced the opponent's chest with his sword.

Alberton smiled widely, and the flames in his eyes flickered.

"I'm telling you this from the memory of my lifetime, young man."

"It's because I will still be Madara's Alberton until the moment I die."

"I should probably thank you for freeing me—"

The undead knight sighed: "But again, I died as a dark noble. The eternal death of Madara symbolizes the immortal flame. I just didn't expect that I would lose..."

The fire of the soul in its eyes finally dimmed.

The 'White Knight' Alberton was dead after all, and Brando understood that from this moment on there would be no more Madara's Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He looked at the wreckage of the other party quietly, and then watched the silver light in the sky coming from it.

The wreckage rose up and merged into his body. It was like a warm force evenly penetrated his whole body - he had never felt like this when absorbing experience before, but Brando understood at this moment that it was power.

, pure power of the soul.

He gained a total of 1,300 experience points from this column commander who was in his thirties, plus the sum of several battles before and after. In the few hours since killing Sasar, he had gained

I have already acquired nearly 2,000 experience points.

It seemed that upgrading was more than enough, but Brando did not do that. He suppressed this impulse and understood that he should reserve experience next. After all, he still had a lot to do after the war. He raised his head and looked at the sky

, the dark clouds dispersed at this moment, revealing the cross-shaped constellation behind it shining brightly on the dark sky.

Throne of Knights.

Then he raised the white deer statue in his hand and saw the graceful creature showing its form from the hilltop on one side, then turned around and disappeared to the northeast.

Brando turned around and saw Leto approaching on horseback.

"Many zombies were found on the hills to the left and right..." Leto said in a low voice.

"I understand, the time difference is not much." Brando replied equally calmly: "So let the refugees get on their way quickly, because in other words, we don't have much time to waste."
