Act 163 War Tablets: Dragon Skin IX
Under the rolling hills and hills of East Metz, under the low clouds and mist, there are intricate caves buried deep underground, and there are countless ruins in the darkness. Many living beings and the dead linger among them, emerging at night and hiding in the day. . ybdu. There are ancient legends about them, and their own folk songs and stories have been passed down from generation to generation among the people of Metz. The old people occasionally mention these creepy things.
According to legend, husbands use it to teach their wives, and mothers use it to scare their sons. The terror in the night and the whispers in the forest are dispersed by the winds of summer and autumn, lingering for hundreds of years.
This dark power is only in the hands of a few of the most powerful dark lords - the existence known as the 'Grand Duke'. Historically, Metz has had three 'Grand Dukes'. The first was Baron Snowy of Auvershin. He controlled the world of darkness thirty years before his death and thirty years after his death. He was once canonized as a saint. , and at the same time
A profound necromancer, he deceived the world and stole his name until sixty years after his death. He was dug out of the tomb, his bones were crushed and ashes were burned, and his power was sealed in a crown by the temple and stored in Thorn Island Prison. Underground, it was later stolen during the turbulent years and then completely lost; the second one was the famous Ludwig Witch,
She spread her followers widely in the forest of Silver Valley, attracting dark-minded wizards, bandits and mercenaries to join her carefully run cult. At that time, passers-by knew that Ludwig's day belonged to the Duke, and his night belonged to him. The Queen of Witches, a name that even the gentle breeze whispers through the forest dare not mention. Travelers remain silent, and merchants remain silent.
The knights didn't even dare to approach the forest at night. The witch finally died at the hands of the Paladin Luther. Her heart was nailed with wooden spikes in the Sweet Harbor Perkin Temple. The holy flames burned on it all year round. It is said that there are still shrill screams coming from it. There is always a strong wind near the church, causing pedestrians to take a detour. And the statue of Paladin Luther
To this day, it still exists in the Three Ports of East Metz. In the Golden Square of Fatan Port, travelers can still see the face of this heroic knight; the third one is the master of Baria, the Duke of Golden Flame, who was in the mortal world. His power in this world is equivalent to his status in the dark world, and his life is extremely luxurious and decadent. Selfish, narrow-minded, extremely greedy for beauty, he was cursed by passers-by as the devil duke.
The favored and powerful minister Victor was actually Roclair, Lord of the Blood of the Tree Shepherd. He had repeatedly challenged the majesty of the Temple of Fire and promoted heresy in public, and finally died on the stake. After his fall, those close to him All the ministers could not escape death, and Victor Crorel was still imprisoned in the most severe dungeon in the empire. And his
authority. It was stored in the underground vault of the Great Cathedral of Ovehin, and was sealed by four saints. A Knight of the Flame swore his life to protect it for the rest of his life.
"The so-called authority is actually the power of the dark orb." The underground world is silent. The beam of light hanging from the top of the head seems to be the only light source in the darkness. The flickering light spots are flying in the darkness, and there is a layer of floating mist. Bai's voice echoed in the empty hall, and a layer of sand fell from time to time above his head.
But no one cares:
"An explorer discovered this treasure in a cave maze underground in Fawn Woodland and brought it out. The treasure then fell into the hands of a businessman named Rodrian, who later worked for a man who would unite all things. A high-level wizard conspired to kill him, and the dark orb was obtained by that wizard. The latter used the power of the eternal evil object Mavicart's book to obtain the Dark Orb.
He extracted the power from the dark orb and made a skeletal scepter, a ring and a crown. These three treasures all have the power to command the undead and are the most precious treasures in the world of the undead. They were later obtained by the three people mentioned above. Among them, the Bone Crown has long been lost and the amethyst ring was destroyed by the Paladin Luther. only left with
The Scepter of Bones is sealed beneath the Holy Crypt of Ovehin. "
It turned out to be the Dark Orb, and Brando suddenly realized that, like the Ice Orb, the Dark Orb is a sacred object of the dark element. It is the source of all negative magic, so it can command the undead formed by the negative magic. However, the high-level wizard who unified all things was able to use the power of the eternal evil object Mavicart's book to escape from the darkness.
The power extracted from the orb is obviously not an ordinary person, but probably a famous figure in the history of this organization.
"Is this why you came here?"
"To be precise, I came here for the Skeleton Scepter. I killed the Flame Knight, and the Skeleton Scepter is now in the hands of Duke Anbunal."
"The commander of the White Legion?"
Bai nodded.
Brando suddenly remembered something. "By the way, does Anman transforming himself into an undead have something to do with you?" He asked: "Aman has access to the book of Mavicart, an eternal evil object. He should be a genuine high-level member of the Union of All Things, but the Return of All Things The higher-ups will never accept an undead for a while. He should become a soul after that.
Undead. At this point, he couldn't help but give Bai a deep look: "You herdsmen can actually penetrate all things and unite them?" "
The method of infiltration used by the All In One Society is one of the best in "The Amber Sword". For an organization with such strong penetration, its ability to reverse infiltration is naturally not that bad, or even stronger, so he is very It's hard not to be surprised by this.
"Infiltration? That's hard to say," Bai replied with full self-knowledge: "Bewitching Anman was just my personal behavior. That person wanted to pursue immortality. I saw his ambition and was able to convince him to join us." She A sneer appeared on the pale face: "Eternal immortality. Only madmen can be immortal. Reasonable people can be immortal."
People would never chase such illusory things. "
Bromando's black rose is known as immortality and eternity. Brando found it interesting to hear such words from a dark nobleman of Madara. "I see. No wonder Andesa could recognize him, but they didn't seem to be too confrontational at the beginning. Didn't Amman join the tree shepherds?"
"He has no interest in the Tree Shepherd. That person is a truly selfish maggot. Everything he does is based on his own interests and lives only for himself. He cannot understand our pursuit at all. We I won't accept such people." Bai said calmly.
"What about you? Are you bewitching him for the Book of Mavicart, an eternal evil?"
"Yes, I exchanged the eternal secret with him, hoping to get a counterfeit of Mavicart's Book from his hands." Bai raised his eyelids and glanced at him with golden eyes: "As far as I know The high-level wizard who brought all things together used the counterfeit of Mavicart's Book as a medium to extract the power of the Dark Orb."
"You seem to be very obsessed with the power of the Dark Orb -" Brando asked doubtfully: "Wait a minute, you said that the high-level wizard of the All-Union Society used a counterfeit of Mavicart's Book as a medium to extract the Dark Orb. Of power, and you want to get the counterfeit of the Book of Mavicart from Amman, could it be said that you have found the dark treasure?
Pearl? "
The golden flames in Bai Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer the question.
"It seems you guessed it right, Brando. Not only did she find the Dark Orb, but it seems that the Dark Orb is probably in this place - in this hall." Bai Jia smiled slightly and said.
Bai suddenly turned around and stared at the female knight very angrily, but she understood that this was of no use and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Yes, I am sure that I have found the Dark Orb."
Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. The dark orb disappeared without a trace after the high-level wizard who reunited everything. Even the three treasures made from the power extracted from it passed through the hands of three different people for hundreds of years. After that, another hundred years passed, and Bai Bai...
The Bone Crown was missing, and even the amethyst ring was completely destroyed. I didn't expect this woman to be so ambitious. She even looked down on these three treasures and turned her attention directly to the Dark Orb.
And from what she said, she had started making this plan no matter how long ago. Judging from the information Brando knows, it is at least earlier than the time he traveled through.
This woman is so scheming and calm. If they hadn't been so familiar with her, they might not have been able to make her suffer such a big loss this time.
"If I guessed correctly, the Dark Orb should have been obtained by Luo Risen's wife," Bai continued: "It's just that at that time, the power in the orb somehow left the orb itself and was injected into her body, like the blood of a god. Same. This can only be the work of a tree shepherd. Your guess that Glass is a tree shepherd also agrees with my guess.
To recruit each other, I think it should be a high-ranking member of the Tree Shepherd who extracted the power from the dark orb and made it into a kind of pure blood of God, while Luo Risen's wife was probably just a middle-class and lower-level believer of the Tree Shepherd. He is a divine messenger, an experimental subject. "
"The blood of the Dark God." Brando said suddenly.
Bai glanced at him: "Did you see it from Andesa?"
Brando didn't say that the blood of the Dark God was on him, he just nodded silently.
"It should have something to do with the Dark Orb, but it's not pure. It should be a secondary product derived from the experiment on Glass. There is only one true messenger of darkness in this world, and that is her." Bai said scornfully: " Her power is so pure and powerful. Otherwise, how could you think that with the consistent behavior of the Temple of Flame?
All he could do was seal her, and being burned at the stake was her only fate. "
"Is this the real purpose of your coming here?" Brando looked at Lawson standing aside. The pale light shone on its phosphorus-like white bones, carving dark shadows like ink between the bones, and the golden eyes in its eyes. The flames were burning, and there was no reaction to their words. He wondered if it could hear what was going on between them.
Conversation, but this knight must have loved his wife deeply during his lifetime, otherwise he would not have sacrificed his reputation and everything, even enduring endless pain after death to protect her here.
This is truly noble and sincere love, transcending life and death, and above everything in this world.
But good things are often easily exploited by evil, just like now. Brando stared at the undead knight for a long time, then turned back and asked: "Are you going to make a deal with it and take the power of the dark orb from its wife's body?"
"Are you going to stop me?"
"Shouldn't I stop you?" Brando asked.
Bai smiled coldly. "But if I don't take away the blood of the Dark God, that poor woman's soul will be sealed here forever, enduring pain and suffering, and Sir Lorison, an upright and noble knight, will have to sacrifice the thing he hated most during his lifetime. In this state, I live in this dark underground, guarding silently all day long, but never seeing my lover.
Between them, two pure souls are bound here forever. Day after day, year after year, only darkness continues. "
"What does this have to do with us?" Morpheus had long been puzzled by this. He could not understand this kind of mortal emotion at all. For him, there were only differences between hunters and prey, masters and servants. for him. Apart from food, there is only the master. He has dedicated all the good things in his life to death and loyalty.
All it takes is one look from Lando to make him willingly die.
But Brando and Bai Jia fell into silence.
"My lord, there are many powers in this world. As long as you give up your principles, they are at your fingertips. For people like me. There is no difference between the power of the Dark Orb, the power of Mavicart's Book, or any other power. I will eventually Gaining power and doing evil in the world does not depend on the means I use to gain power. Right now
It is the best result, so why stick to tradition? What's more, only if I convince Luo Risen can you safely take away the slate from here. This is a win-win deal. You can deal with me at any time, right? "
Bai's voice echoed in the dark underground, like a devil's whisper. Full of charming magic.
"Since you know that I will kill you, why do you pursue these anymore?" Brando asked coldly.
With blazing golden flames burning in her white eyes, she smiled, revealing her white fangs. "I don't believe in inevitability. As long as there is a chance, it is worth my best efforts."
"In that case. Why should I give you this opportunity to turn defeat into victory?" Brando asked again: "Unlike you, I am a cautious person and I wish I could take everything in my own hands."
Bai didn't speak, as if she believed Brando would change his mind in the end, but this was the time. A deep and old voice sounded in the darkness:
"Send her over here, young man."
The three people turned back together. The golden fire in the eyes of the tall and pale skeleton knight was beating. It turned around creakingly and looked at Bai. A hollow and vicissitudes of voice seemed to come from its chest: " You said you could lift the curse on Glass and free her from this endless suffering?"
This is not an unintelligent undead—
"Sir Rorizon -" Brando was the first to react, and he hurriedly stopped her. This woman was too scary. Although she didn't look like she was lying, who could guarantee it? But the Skeleton Knight only waved his hand gently to him and interrupted him: "I have been listening here for a long time. The three of you know my life very well. So, would you like to sit down and listen to me, an old man? if?"
Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other in astonishment. Bai Jia didn't answer. His eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking. Finally, Brando nodded and replied: "Please tell me."
The undead knight was silent for a moment, and then a low voice echoed in the darkness: "I was born in the countryside of Granu, and I have experienced many people and things throughout my life. Some of those memories can be remembered, and some can no longer be remembered, but For me now, they only leave endless pain and suffering. My love for Grass now only has an oath and a bond. The human emotions have long since disappeared. But in the darkness. , but the thought often flashed through my mind, I want to see her again. Once this thought occurred in my mind, it took root and sprouted and could not be suppressed——"
"I don't know if this is love anymore, but I just want to see her. Young man, I may have experienced more in my life than you, but I don't dare to boast about myself in front of you at this moment. I just want to ask you, can you Fulfilling an old man’s wish.”
"I dedicated my life to Martha, but I never saw the light of day—"
Sighs in the darkness are like sand and dust in the wind. After the sand and gravel are dispersed, only endless vicissitudes remain.
Brando and Bai Jia couldn't speak for a long time. I devoted my life to Martha, but never saw the light of day in my life - but are the same pursuers of ideals, will they end up like this one day? In this world, do you really get rewarded for your efforts, or are they just well-intentioned comfort and lies, just whispers of desperate people comforting each other in the dark.
What if there was never light in this darkness?
"Then let me ignite this fire -" This uncontrollable thought silently rose in Brando's heart.
Bai hid in the shadow of the two people and remained silent, but Brando knew that she had succeeded. He sighed. There are some things in this world that you may know are wrong, but you have to do them because the power of humanity shines in the darkness together with the light of reason. "Perhaps what we need is not cold correctness, Senior Sister." He said softly to Bai Jia.
Bai Jia remained silent.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the empire called Maldos.
