Act 159 Tablets of War: Dragon Skin V

The gray law fragments dissipated behind Brando like withered petals. He glanced at Bai who was unconscious on the ground, and silently sheathed the Sword of the Earth. Another battle also came to an end at the same time. Andrigg and Morpheus each held a dark thin sword and pointed at the location of the burning soul fire in the hollow chest of the Death Moon Knight, one on the left and one on the right. Standing next to it - although the former is much stronger than either Andrigo or Morpheus, after all, he is not an opponent for the two of them together, not to mention that there is also Hipami who holds the power of mountains and rivers next to him. pull.

Brando turned around and walked towards the Dead Moon Knight - he knew that Bai would wake up soon. The undead itself would not be truly comatose. Bai's current state was just a state of suspended animation caused by the too weak soul fire. That's it, this state will not last long, it will either recover quickly or die completely. He has dealt with the black knight of Madara more than once, and he is well aware of how difficult the other party is. The lot of things she said before were obviously intended to attract his attention, and he also took advantage of them. Believe it or not. But at least what is certain now is that Bai should be a silver elf and familiar with Medisa.

Although Medissa mentioned that this woman had used mind-reading skills on her, mind-reading skills could only read superficial thoughts. These deep inner memories could not be stolen. They were the domain of gods.

But as to whether she is the eldest princess of the Silver Elf Empire, it remains to be verified.

After all, this woman is very good at bewitching and shaking people's hearts, making you fall into anger or confusion before taking action. She especially likes to use mind-reading spells. Her nickname besides the Black Knight is also the 'Just Judge' It illustrates this point very well. Whether a fair judge is fair or unfair is another matter, but she claims to be a judge, tortures people's inner sins, shakes people's unsteady beliefs, and is good at taking advantage of the fragility of human nature.

He had to get something useful out of the Dead Moon Knight as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would never get any information in front of this woman, unless he was prepared to torture her separately, but he didn't have the conditions or the time here.

Lorison's ghost still stood in the hall. Motionless, like a stone statue.

Brando came to the Dead Moon Knight and soon discovered that he was still an old acquaintance - the Decay Knight Croat, one of the Three Knights of Decay. He and his Skeleton Knight had the first and second Black Rose They had invaded Eruin during the war, and died under Freya's sword at the end of the Second Black Rose War. In the middle of the Second Black Rose War, he also conducted a mission about this guy, but at that time it was surrounded by a large army for protection, so it can only be said that he met it from a distance. Croat is a dark nobleman from the Sea of ​​Dead Moon and a mercenary. Unlike Kabasi, he is an undead lord who is relatively good at fighting. However, he is not a die-hard loyalist to the undead lord holding a mercury staff. He can only be regarded as a fence-sitter at best.

He thought about it and was relieved. Which undead lord was he not familiar with Madala?

Think of this.

He looked back and saw that he recognized all the skeletons lying on the ground:

Terrassa the Gray Staff, commanded the Gray Castle of Lifte. Most of his subordinates were corpse witches, who were good at the blood rain technique, and their political stance was that of a fence-sitter.

Bone Eyes Karen. The lord of the withered woodland has an army of pale hunters under his command. Their specialty is undead cavalry tactics, and Troll established the famous wall-riding faction.

Buchan, the fence-sitter.

They are all fence-sitters.

Although the Decay Knight Croat has died once a long time ago, he is still afraid of death. Or to put it in terms of the undead, they are afraid of 'real eternal sleep'. In other words, they are not very tight-lipped. After Brando threatened, it revealed the truth. Tiamas——,, this is the real name of Black Knight Bai. This name sounds like the name of an elf. In the previous life, some players also speculated that she might be a wind elf or a wild elf, but they never thought of it. The silver elves, because there were too many different dates - they lied as expected, and their purpose of coming here was not for the undead of Lorison - but for the war slate.

But it is not easy for the undead to enter human territory, let alone pass through several lines of defense without alerting the army under the current situation. According to Crotter, they took a boat out to sea from Yongan Port and landed at Silver Sand Bay. 6. As soon as they got off the boat, there were humans to arrange the itinerary. They arrived in the four-leaf clover field in the carriage, and there were also people to take care of them along the way.

Brando immediately guessed that these people were from the Cruz Empire, and even from Crote's description, they were from the White Legion, or more recently, from a high-level knight order of the White Legion: White The legion has three directly affiliated knights, the gray winged knights who ride gray griffons, the white dragon knights who ride the earth dragon and the silver pegasus knights. The people who receive these undead should be the people of the white dragon knights. , because Crot once saw the emblem under those human cloaks, which was a white dragon head emblem, which is the typical emblem of the White Dragon Knights.

Although the possibility of setting the blame cannot be ruled out, this possibility is not high. After all, the Cruz people did not know that Crote and the others would fall into his hands.

The White Legion is Constance's staunchest supporter, and historically the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are also the most loyal supporters of the Mercury Rod and the backbone of the reformists. In other words, these undead who entered the empire to obtain the war tablets probably obtained Constance's support. With the dual instructions of Stans and the dark monarch, Brando immediately felt that there was a strong smell of conspiracy.

He looked at Bai Jia, who was listening quietly beside him. The senior sister also had the same look in her eyes.

It is not surprising that the monarch holding the mercury staff knew the existence of the War Slate in advance. He was originally the emperor of that world who came out every thousand years. The mercury staff in his hand had the supreme ability to predict the future. The mercury staff predicted something for it. With these fragments of the future, it may have seen the day when the War Tablet was born. As for the Silver Queen, as the Dark Dragon of this era who has received most of Odin's inheritance, the Black Prophecy originally mentioned that the Dark Dragon has the ability to be nearly omniscient and omnipotent. Through some ancient knowledge and inheritance, she knows about The information from the War Tablets doesn't seem surprising either.

The strange thing is that these two people are now together. Throughout history, the only opportunity that can turn enemies into friends between countries, forces and forces is nothing more than common interests or enemies. As for Her Majesty’s enemies, in addition to the dusk army and monsters she identified, it seems that there are also Only you can be considered the opponent's enemy. But Brando didn't think he was worthy of letting the two empires join forces to deal with him.

Then the only thing left is profit.

Madara's interests are predictable. Being able to seize the stone slabs from the empire is naturally beneficial to them, but what benefits can the Silver Queen get from it? Luring the wolf into the house? Just in exchange for Madara's support? It seems that there is no need, not to mention that Madara herself is still unjust and unjust, and the four major temples except for a few people from the Temple of Flame. Constance didn't seem to have any objections to what she did. She didn't have to find anything to do with these skeletons.

Brando firmly believes that if something seems ridiculous and illogical on the surface, and it exists in fact, then there must be an unknown truth hidden behind the incident.

A terrifying possibility suddenly occurred to him.

In history, the empire allowed and even encouraged Madara to attack Saint Osor and Eruin. Will such a thing happen again today? Although it was an event that happened at the end of the First Era, in this world, even the Great Demonic Tide was so far ahead of schedule, and Queen Constance was completely deviant from common sense. There is no reason why this event could not have happened or appeared in advance.

"What are you looking for this thing for?" Brando suddenly asked, pointing to the war slate suspended at the tip of the pile of rubble.

as expected. The undead knight showed a blank look, and nothing could be seen in the soul fire beating in its eye sockets. Crotter obviously knew nothing about it. This is not beyond Brando's expectation. The war slate began to come to the world only half a month ago, and the rule fragments appeared only one day ago. These undead didn't know what this thing was at all, but the being holding the mercury staff might have described the appearance of this thing to them and asked them to come and take it, so they came and took it.

Everyone knows the power of the mercury rod, so even such a request will not arouse anyone's suspicion. The undead have long been accustomed to their monarch being one step ahead in everything.

"Have you thought about the war in 422?" Bai Jia suddenly asked in a low voice.

Brando nodded, the hero saw the same thing. The war of 422 was what happened before the Battle of Sifah Shelin. In that year, the empire signed a secret agreement with Madala's envoys. This agreement was essentially an agreement to divert disaster to the east. In the agreement, the empire was not in the territory. The Dar area sent more troops or even withdrew its troops - in fact, Madala was allowed to attack Eruin and Saint Osor. Soon after that, Madala entered its heyday. It was also the prelude to the demise of Eruin. Even the wind elves of Saint Osol were seriously injured in the war, so there was the subsequent Battle of Alkash.

Unexpectedly, history would be so similar. Although the emperor of the empire was no longer the taciturn Lenaret, Constance also made a surprisingly unanimous decision. Brando couldn't help but think at this moment that this was really a mother and son.

But Brando still doesn’t understand why Constance let the undead go deep into the Metz area to seize the stone slabs. What is the deep meaning of her doing this? The empire's territory is so vast, and this land is filled with fragments of rules and war slates. Why is it Port Fatan? Was it the request of the being holding the mercury staff, or was it Her Majesty's own idea? Could it be that that woman could foresee that he would come to this place? This sounds a little too creepy.

A weak voice interrupted his train of thought: "Do you remember what I once said to you, human lord?"

Brando turned around suddenly and found that Bai had woken up earlier than he thought. The metal mask on the Black Knight's face had already been shattered by the impact, revealing half of her beautiful face. The silver threads proved her pure Silver Elf bloodline, but there was nothing like Medissa's eyes anymore. The beautiful silver gem eyes were replaced by a pair of eyes dancing with golden flames.

But her eyes had lost the lively look they had when she was trying to coax him, and had returned to an indifferent look. Her voice no longer fluctuated, but was filled with hollow metallic echoes, and she couldn't even tell it was a woman's. sound.

In fact, this is the Bai that Brando is familiar with. She appeared in Madala about one hundred and fifty years ago (the first sighting recorded in the literature may be earlier, but it is unknown). No one No one knew where she came from, and no one knew why she appeared in Madala, except that she appeared in Madala. He is already a powerful undead lord.

By the time the player becomes familiar with this undead lord, she has already obtained the evil dragon blood of the bone dragon Orshin, and is sealed by the mercury staff as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Historically, Bai always wore a heavy robe like he does now every time he appeared. Although the style and pattern of the robe may vary, in most cases it will be painted with decorations such as crosses and scales - unless she wants to hide her identity. But in either case, she wears her trademark—a half-crying, half-laughing metal mask.

Players, including Madara players, have never seen the true face of this knight, and there is no way to tell whether she is male or female. Although this makes no difference to the undead, players still enjoy guessing. In this regard, of course judging from the name, players are still more inclined to the latter guess.

And the facts prove this -

After hearing what the black knight said, Brando asked: "This is not the first time that you and I have dealt with each other, and you have obviously said more than one sentence to me. I wonder which sentence you are referring to?"

"Ancestors——"

"You are an ancestor, a human being. You and I both understand this deeply."

"What are ancestors?" Brando frowned. This was indeed the second time this woman had mentioned this word, and it also referred to him. But he was very puzzled. Brando's origins are very clear. Neither he nor his grandfather are ancestors. Although Sword Master Darus is famous, tracing the ancestors of this family back is just an ordinary Eruin.

"Your understanding of us goes beyond the boundaries of human knowledge, just like you know my real name and my origins, even though I didn't tell you this when we first met. But I know you already know everything. Both of you. Months ago, I was secretly sealed in the Temple of the Dead Moon. This secret has never left Madara, but you already know it. I believe you even know why I was sealed, and that my power comes from the Spider Mother Serai. Silk--"

"Spider Mother Seles? Your power does not come from the bone dragon..." Brando was stunned. Suddenly he realized something was wrong. He saw the woman looking at him with a sneer on her face and mouthing:

‘The Lord of Darkness will surely return. He can see into people’s hearts and make everything clear——’

"Stop your tricks of playing with people's hearts." Bai Jia interrupted her coldly: "I will kill you at any time if you dare to do this again."

Brando patted the senior's hand and stopped the other party from continuing. He looked as if that was the case and asked: "So you said that Medisa told me before, and this is also to lie to me?"

This time Bai didn't answer.

But Brando didn't care and continued to ask: "Do you still think I am the Dragon of Darkness? But times have changed, and now others may not necessarily think so. There is someone in the empire who deserves this title more than me, right?"

"Darkness will be born from the inhuman, and honorable peoples will perish from the flames."

This sentence is the original words in the Black Prophecy.

Bai Jia shook her head: "Can a person whose age is always fixed at fifteen still be considered a human being? He is a human being, but he can be inhuman. Constance, the Silver Queen, is obviously more satisfied with this. She was on the final battlefield. She saw some secret and inherited the power and will of the Dark Dragon. With the blessing of these powers, she has already become an inhuman existence."

"No progress," Bai replied: "Mortal wisdom is always limited to this. I never said you were the Dragon of Darkness. That was just a self-righteous misunderstanding by that little girl Medissa."

Brando had lost interest and continued to listen to her pranks. He asked, "What is the relationship between you and Medisa?"

"I have nothing to do with that bastard." Bai replied coldly this time.

Hearing these words, Brando was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the woman with a sullen expression. Hearing these words, he confirmed the identity of this woman. She was indeed Medisa's sister-Yi Ru Just like what Medissa described in that dream. He turned back and no longer looked at the woman. He had already received enough information. He looked at Crotter: "Crote, as far as I know, you are not the most trusted minister. Why is it so?" You are assigned to carry out this task.”

This is just a euphemism. In fact, it is not just as simple as not being close. The so-called fence-sitters are, to put it bluntly, the dark nobles who succumbed to the Supreme Being due to the power of the mercury staff. These old nobles are in this emerging empire. They are the most disadvantaged group of people, and it is absolutely impossible for them to take on such an important mission as an envoy to the Cruz Empire.

In fact, Croat himself was at a loss about this, but he rolled his eyes with some fear and was unwilling to answer.

From this simple glance, Brando and Bai Jia already got what they wanted.

"If I guessed correctly, she took the initiative to ask the one who allowed you to join, right?" Brando asked.

The beating soul fire of Krote was clearly filled with shock.

Brando thought that it was indeed the case. The followers brought by this woman were all wall-riders, but she herself was the most loyal knight of the mercury staff. It would be unreasonable to say that there was nothing fishy about it. Too much of a coincidence. Generally speaking, birds of a feather flock together. If it were him to perform this task, he would definitely choose a few like-minded helpers who he believed were trustworthy; or in other words, these people were hand-picked by the person, Bai Ye said nothing. There is room for this, but this is obviously impossible. Why would that person offend his most reliable subordinates for a few fence-sitters? This is obviously not consistent with common sense?

When he asked, he discovered something unusual about it.

Why did Bai choose a few fence-sitters who had no loyalty to the mercury staff as teammates? Others may think that she is trying to cultivate her cronies and circle and win people's hearts, but Brando is very familiar with this woman. Apart from the bones and skeletons of her men who have no wisdom at all, she has been alone in her life. Any partisan.

Although the world has changed, Brando has never seen a historical figure whose temperament has changed drastically due to changes in the context of the future.

He believed that Shiro would never be an exception.

He wanted to ask more, but the black knight lady had interrupted him angrily: "Stop asking, what do you want to know, human lord, let's make a deal."

Sure enough, there was something fishy, ​​and Brando couldn't help but take a deep look at the undead man of Rorison standing aside. This tall skeleton knight has remained motionless so far, like a stone statue.
