Act 162 War Tablet: Dragon Skin VIII

The golden flames in the white eyes split into layers of flame patterns, like flowing lava. ..xstxt.. She squeezed out a few words from her throat: "What are you talking about?"

"Because of this." Brando raised his hand, and a crystal drew a beautiful arc, hitting the ground with a crisp sound, and then rolled to Bai's feet. Bai hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to pick it up with difficulty. It was a pitch-black crystal without any brilliance, exuding a cold aura in her hand. The color in its center was removed, revealing an ugly piece of crystal. Come blank.

Bai observed it carefully for a moment, and finally figured out that this crystal was one of the culprits who had previously plotted against her. She frowned deeply. "Is this the soul crystal?"

"This is the soul crystal." Brando replied: "It once stored a spell called soul spike, which is a black magic."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Brando raised his head and looked at the empty round hall. The towering vaults are carved with thorns, light and shadow, and gargoyles stand gloomily on the stone pillars. It is said that the top of each stone pillar will be engraved with prayers such as 'atsh s von' (the glory of the kings), praising the glorious Lord. , Sun God Perkin - the building can show the time accumulated in the era it was supposed to belong to. This hall is filled with the history of the past hundreds of years. "It really shouldn't matter," he said, "but how could a believer of the Sun God use black magic to hide such an evil object in his sanctuary?"

There was a thoughtful look in Bai's eyes, and she saw Bai Jia coming out behind Brando. Bai Jia smiled politely at her, and took over Brando's words in a gentle tone: "Sir Luo Risen was a true believer during his lifetime. He was an upright and noble knight, but he also had his own story. Many people Maybe you don’t believe that this upright knight has never lost contact with the word cultist throughout his life, but it is a fact. He was also exiled because of this stain and was not allowed to return to his homeland and family for the rest of his life. Of course, this was deeply Outsiders thought that the knight ran away because he was tired of fighting for power. Naturally, the family he came from would do everything possible to cover up the truth that embarrassed the family. Therefore, the real history is forgotten day by day. Just like this hall, all the past has been sealed in dust. But history is silent, but time will tell everything. No matter how deeply buried the secrets are, they will reappear inadvertently."

"A long time later, a ranger named Cang Cui found a diary in the ruins of a castle in Granu. He opened the diary with a crimson sheepskin cover, and Juanxiu's words were written on the first page of the diary. The name of the owner of this diary was revealed. Her name was Glass Petty, and her true identity was Rowerson’s wife during his lifetime. She was a tree shepherd.”

She stopped here and had no intention of continuing. Brando continued: "I have been thinking about this question before, no matter how the tide of magic roars and roars, setting off thousands of waves on the sea,

But how could Perkin tolerate so many undead running rampant in his sanctuary? But when I saw this rotunda, I understood. This hall is not Perkin's prayer hall, but the holy cellar. An altar used by Perkin's followers to seal evil monsters underground. So the reason why the undead exist here is so simple, because they have been here for a long time——"

"Even so, it doesn't mean anything."

"That's true, but the problem is that you exposed your own tail. Don't forget that what you used on Luo Risen was spiritual enlightenment witchcraft."

"This is not surprising," Bai said coldly: "I am the dark lord of Madara. It is normal to search for powerful undead as my subordinates."

"Then you can just use it to command the undead. Why bother to open wisdom for Lorison?"

"That's because high-level undead with intelligence are more powerful."

Brando shook his head. "Theoretically, this is true, but Luo Risen's undead still retains the heart of a saint and is a true saint's undead soul. Even if it wakes up and is subject to the powerful magic of the spiritual enlightenment and cannot attack you, it will also choose to self-destruct. , what you can get is not a powerful follower, but a pile of dead bones. The scroll of spiritual enlightenment is valuable, and the Madala Empire is not strong enough to squander it at will. The reason why you dare to do this is because You need Lawson to restore his memories of his life. Only as the designer and builder of this holy vault, he is qualified to provide you with what you want - that is, the way to unlock the seal of this holy vault and release Glass. Patty’s soul.”

"I almost admire your wonderful hypothesis, human being. I didn't expect you to know about the saintly undead. Your understanding of the world of the dead is indeed deeper than I imagined. I am very curious. You are only about twenty years old. Age, what motivates you to understand the secrets of the dead? I believe you are a wizard who specializes in necromancy and black magic, but you are just a swordsman, and you are the youngest swordsman in this thousand years. ." Bai said lightly: "Unfortunately, a hypothesis is still a hypothesis. It may have many coincidental similarities with reality, but after all, it is just a subjective speculation. You still don't have any evidence to support everything you said."

"When do human aristocrats need evidence when they convict people?" Andrigg suddenly spoke and said impatiently: "In my opinion, these are all nonsense. You can't resist anyway. This human wants you to be hanged." It's just a matter of one sentence to make love or go to bed, so why are you wasting your time so pretentiously. So your understanding of human beings is only that, far inferior to mine."

Brando almost choked to death at this sentence. He really didn't know whether this sentence was a compliment to himself or an opportunity to speak ill of himself, but the vampire princess looked serious and seemed to take her own words seriously. Bai Qing smiled and sneered: "Others may do this, but I know your lord will not."

Brando knew that he was irritating himself in vain, but he didn't care. He shook his head: "I have reservations about your opinion. In certain situations, I don't care about the means, otherwise I will never listen to a cultist like you say more than a word. But in some cases, I don't care about the means. At the moment, I won’t lower myself to your level. If I say you are a tree shepherd, I will naturally have accurate evidence. Having said that, this evidence was actually given to me by you yourself."

Bai's face looked a bit ugly, anyone would be angry if he was described in such a vulgar way. What's more, she is such a proud person, but she is not angry yet, at most she is just a little dissatisfied.

Brando continued: "Miss Tiamas, do you remember what you said to me before?"

"This question sounds familiar," Bai replied, "and my answer is similar. I have said many things to you. I wonder which one you are asking about?"

"The sentence itself is not important, but you mentioned Amman when I took out the God-killing Demon Cone."

Bai Bai's face changed. "So what? Speaking of which, you killed the high-ranking priests of the temple and still dared to appear openly in the empire. You are really bold."

"Why go around in circles, Miss Tiamas, since I mentioned this name, you should understand that I have already known about Amman's other identity. He is a high-ranking member of the Union of All Things. I dare say that the world also knows There are no more than ten people with this person's dual identity, including me. But the fact that you can call out his name immediately shows that you knew that he died in the Ring of Trade Winds, and that he was in the Ring of Trade Winds. What is the Ring of Trade Winds doing?”

Madara's black knight's face was as sinking as water. "That idiot!" She cursed in a low voice, while readily admitting everything Brando had assumed. Her pride did not allow her to continue denying it, because she understood that it was meaningless. Some things could be called coincidences, but coincidences could not explain all problems after all. Bai looked at Brando with golden eyes. He asked curiously: "I have another question that I am a little curious about. Amman is a member of the All-Union Society. Why do you insist that I am a tree shepherd and one of the twelve patriarchs?"

Brando hesitated for a moment, but replied: "Actually, the reason is relatively simple. It is because the All-Union Society does not accept the undead. Members of the All-Union Society have always looked down on the undead and necromancy, thinking that they are just bewitched by dark magic. The path of depravity. What they pursue is the truth of chaos, the true eternity, and it is by no means comparable to the skeletons of Madara. The state of Shi Anman makes me suspicious, although that can only mean that it is secretly cultivating the undead. A forbidden technique that transforms oneself into an undead before death. But it was enough to attract my attention. Later, I always thought that Anman went to the Ring of Trade Winds for the inheritance of the Dark Dragon, until you called out his name before, It suddenly dawned on me that I understood something. His purpose was the same as Andersa's. He came for the blood of God in the Dragon of Darkness. That is the blood of the true descendants of the people of the gods. It is different from the garbage gods you cultivated. Blood is never the same."

There is one thing Brando didn't say, that is, he has experienced it personally and definitely has more say than anyone else. As for why Bai is said to be the Patriarch, that is another story. A person can hide a secret for a while, but it is difficult to conceal it for a lifetime. In fact, many players in "Amber Sword" suspected that Bai was a Tree Shepherd. He is the god of death, Juka, among the twelve patriarchs, the patriarch who controls the power of life and death. Although Bai, as the Black Knight of Madara, has shown her superb skills in the realm of the dead most of the time, it is known that she has many trump cards that have never been revealed, including the ability to manipulate people's hearts. Xia, whose strength is at the bottom of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse but can maintain this position, is enough to explain a lot of problems.

So saying that Bai is the Patriarch is just his tentative guess. Now this guess seems to have been confirmed. Brando can imagine that this title must also be inherited from the blood of the evil dragon. It can be known from the inherited name. That is also a kind of blood of God.

Bai fell completely silent. It was probably one of the rare times when her trump card was completely exposed, which made her a little at a loss. She was silent for a long time, and then slowly asked: "Since you already know my identity and I choose to cooperate with you, can you Will you set me free again?"

"Of course not." Brando replied frankly: "But you told me so much before, just because you wanted me to cause some trouble for Constance and that one, because 'you' don't want to see civilization and order." Reunify under the name of an empire. Only chaos meets your demands. You are paving the way for the Dragon of Twilight, so why not reunite all things. In this case, why not be happy? You want me to become the Maldos Empire. A stumbling block to revival, why not expect me to do more.”

Bai looked at him with a complicated expression: "Do you think you can compete with those two people? One of them is the incarnation of the Dark Dragon reborn on this earth, the worthy master in the prophecy, and the other is Madara Millennium The king who has come to wait will definitely bring about an era that belongs to the dead moon. The two of them are the echo of the order of this era. This is the general trend of civilization. Except for dusk, no one can be an enemy. Don't you think you are too much? A little cocky, human.”

"The more arrogant I am, the better it is for you." Brando replied.

"That's true."

"So if you want me to cause Constance enough trouble, please tell me in detail."

"Very good," Bai sneered, "What do you want to know?"

"I said, all of them."

"Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, human being. The Silver Queen has not yet planned to mobilize the undead in the Alkash Mountains, and she does not have the ability to do so for the time being. However, in the eastern area of ​​​​Metz, there have been shepherd trees from hundreds of years ago to the present. Human beings’ traditional sphere of influence hides huge dark forces here. Lawson is just a victim of the struggle between dark forces and the church in the past hundred years. The relationship here is too complicated, so I won’t repeat it one by one. You It's enough to know one thing. There is by no means just one person like Rorizon's wife in this place. They have many identities, such as dark wizards, cultists or other things. A hundred years ago, the church suddenly launched a The final result of this great purge was that our power here was uprooted, and the Union of All Things was severely damaged. However, we did not allow the temple to be reconciled. After that, the disputes that lasted for decades and the subsequent three empires The holy war between them was all initiated by us." Bai said proudly. But the audience next to them felt a chill behind them. This dispute between light and darkness eventually caused the entire continent to flow into rivers of blood. But behind this was nothing more than the ambition and revenge of a few people. Brando had secretly made up his mind, This woman and the tree shepherd must not be allowed to exist anymore.

Even if she might really be related to Medisa.

Bai may have seen his plan, or she may not have noticed it at all, but she didn't care and continued: "Going back to the great purge a hundred years ago, a small number of people among the dark forces who were uprooted at that time were They were executed, but most of them were secretly imprisoned or sealed. For example, the Blood Lord Roclair was caught and imprisoned at that time. The reasons for this are very complicated, but the main reason is because the dark forces have completely eroded the aristocratic class of the empire. , if this scar were to be completely uncovered, the empire would not only become scarred, but might even bleed to death. As a result, the church's willful actions caused a backlash from the nobles. At that time, there were overt and covert struggles within the empire, and the truth and lies were intertwined, leading to even Few people really understand what happened in the empire during this period. In short, the final result was that the influence of the church plummeted, and the imperial power returned to the ecclesiastical power with the support of the aristocratic forces."

Only then did Brando understand the truth behind the battle between religious power and royal power. Perhaps from that time on, the Cruz Empire began to inevitably go downhill. Only when all things were united could it unscrupulously penetrate into the nobility and even the church. , everything in this world must have its cause and result, and nothing is exception.

"...In short, the final result is that most of the dark creatures are buried deep underground - together with the secrets of the nobles that cannot be seen from the light, just like this holy cellar. And these people who are corrupted by the darkness are still There are those saints who fell in the struggle. After their death, they are the most vulnerable group of people to be transformed into undead by dark magic. The Silver Queen obviously knew this. I am here to regain her authority on the order of that person. of."

"authority?"

Brando doesn't quite understand this word.
