Act 28 The Bronze Key

"Crack-!"

The bright ice blade hit the mast with a strong wind, and immediately exploded into pieces of ice and wood chips all over the sky. But Root's reaction was also very quick. It had jumped up from the mast crossbar long before that, dodging the blow.

Then Brando heard a series of whooshing sounds of the cables breaking. He watched the cables tied to the crossbar bounce off one by one from the position where the ice blade hit, and then the huge sail made a rustling sound from the mast. Drooping down - like a lowered white flag, covering everyone on the deck.

Baiwu let out a low roar, and the hair on her body stood up like needles. She was about to launch a second attack, but at this time Brando groped from under the sail and grabbed her.

"Don't be impulsive, Ms. Baiwu!" he shouted loudly.

"Get out of the way, I have to kill this damn bug today!" Baiwu let out a series of low roars.

This adjective seemed to anger the arrogant elf gentleman in the air. "Who are you calling a mosquito?" Root replied angrily. He held his hands empty, and an elemental sword burning with flames appeared in his hands.

"I'm talking about bed bugs!"

"That's enough, you two!" Brando opened the canvas and freed Miss Goblin from the cable. He looked up and saw the flaming sword in Root's hand, and finally got angry.

This is no joke. Although the people on the boat will not be injured with his sword, the boat will probably not be saved.

Brando said angrily: "Baiwu, you are the Saint of Ancient Witches, and Mr. Root, you are a dependent of Fusedes, please show the minimum tolerance!"

Of course, he wasn't just talking. The power of space law instantly filled the air. Bai Wu groaned and the magic power gathered around his body dissipated, while the fire element in Root's hand fell apart. The sword can no longer maintain its shape.

"This is... the power of Jin Yan!" He couldn't help showing a surprised look.

Bai Wu curled her lips. She didn't know whether she was subdued by Brando's violence or was moved by the word "magnanimity" in Brando's mouth. She snorted softly and jumped to the mast base aside, turning her head away. , no longer pay attention to other people.

"I'm so sorry." Brando had time to apologize to the elf lady beside him. The latter's hair was a little messy, but she just straightened it up with a calm expression. Then she glanced at Brando, shook her head and replied, "It doesn't matter."

Soon other Tilmose people also crawled out from under the sail. In response to Brando's apology, most of these wise men from various ship groups shook their heads to show that they didn't care.

Only the sea people of Roas seemed a little unhappy - because this ship was their ship - but they didn't show it.

Root flew in the air for a while, and after confirming that the white mist no longer paid attention to him, he flew back and landed on the mast. He frowned and felt a little annoyed. In fact, he thought that he was not a troublemaker - in the name of the golden flame, he didn't think anything he said just now was inappropriate at all - at least that's what he thought. of.

So he felt very angry that he was being attacked. He moved his mouth and wanted to retaliate against Bai Wu, but he looked at Brando who was angry and finally endured it.

After a while of chaos on the ship, it was reorganized. The Tilmers rolled up the canvas and put it back in the hold. Brando raised his head to look at the little goblin and asked him: "Mr. Root, can I do this?" Call you?"

"You can just call me Root, or whatever you want." The little goblin replied, "Because you are the favored one of the Flame Blade, you can call me whatever you want."

Brando was a little speechless. I really want to explain to the other person that this is a polite question, rather than a serious discussion about what I want to call him.

He thought for a moment and then said: "So Lute, I am very concerned about the previous question. You said that there are seven elemental orbs, which means that the natural orbs are real?"

In fact, ever since Sidney told him the meaning of the Elemental Orb in East Metz.

He has always been very interested in this topic. The power of the Fire Orb and Dark Orb in his body once showed extremely high-level power in the Battle of Rushta. He doubted that this power might be related to the legendary existence. The power of sex—even the way the Black Iron people truly perfect their bodies.

But unfortunately, ever since he felt the power of the Fire Orb at Cold Dew Manor, Odyssey's will seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep again, and no matter how he mobilized it, he could no longer activate it at all. In addition to being able to use the power of the Flame Blade. He could no longer feel the presence of the flame orb in his body.

So now he is eager to know all the information related to it.

In response to Brando's question, Root nodded: "Because it was never a legend."

Brando nodded, without questioning or asking the question where the natural orb should be born if there is no natural plane in this world. Because such a question is even more ridiculous than asking why the goblins know the names of other people of the same race. Although there are only four worlds in the elemental barrier: the Mountain of Calm Storm, the Stone Pivot, the Scorched River, and the Shallow Sea, light and darkness are the same as the natural elements. There is a place where they are abundant. In a world where these three elements originate, there is nothing surprising about the existence and birth of natural orbs.

"You said they were keys before?" Brando asked again: "But I have never heard of this statement. What kind of keys are they, Root?"

"This involves a secret—"

"If it's inconvenient," Brando said quickly, "we can skip this topic."

"No," the little goblin shook his head seriously: "I mean, although this is a secret, if you want to know, Mr. Brando, I will tell you."

"Why do you say that?" Brando was a little strange. He always felt that this little goblin was inexplicably close to himself. When he used the power of law to interrupt the other party's spell, he felt that the other party's power level was not lower than his own. How much, but unusually obedient.

Root thought for a moment before replying: "Probably because you are the favored one of the Flame Blade, I feel that I cannot hide anything from you - Odysseus, the Scepter of Fire, is the supreme leader of the fire element world. Although I don’t know yet whether you have the ability to inherit the golden flame will, I will examine you.”

Brando had just become fond of this little goblin, but now he was dumbfounded by the word "inspection". He smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, as you wish - then please continue to talk about these seven orbs - or scepters. I have also heard similar statements, but I am not as sure as you are."

"Those are the seven scepters," Root replied affirmatively. Just like the common characteristics of the goblins, his voice seemed to be singing a brisk song: "And they are not just scepters, but Created as keys, they are called 'Bronze Keys' in Cangzhishi."

"Key?" Brando recalled the name 'Bronze Key'. He quickly remembered a legend, which was part of the mountain folk's legend. Mortals called it the Ochen Epic, which told the story of a mortal hero. .

This hero is not well-known in Warnd, but he is the greatest hero among the mountain people-because he is the first king of the mountain people. Legend has it that he opened the treasures of Wallach - the treasures of the mountains, and used his extraordinary wealth to establish the kingdom of the mountain people.

Most of the mountain people of this era have inherited the memories of that era, even the descendants of the mountain people like Qian who are far away from their homeland are no exception.

During that period of history, the glorious country was destroyed by greed, and the hero eventually fell due to old age. Legend has it that he was cursed by the gods and sank into the ground together with his treasures. In the long period of time that followed, imperial people, mountain people and even foreign adventurers searched for the treasure trove of this king of mountain people more than once, but found nothing.

Brando clearly remembered the key he used to open the treasure door mentioned in the epic, and it was described like this——

A rusty copper spoon.

Rust is patina, but the modifications in Cang Zhi's poems often describe history in a metonymic way, so its meaning cannot always be understood from the surface. Cang Zhi's poem says that this is a bronze key, which is probably a metaphor from the side that it has some secret connection with the word "bronze".

"Is it Aochen's epic?" he asked.

The little elf nodded.

Brando suddenly realized that in fact, he, like most players, had studied the Epic of Blue in depth in his previous life. After all, it was a masterpiece that completely recorded the endless secrets in Warnd's history. Although what mortals could get was just a fragment, it was still worth reading. Put in the time.

He was able to understand Root's words so quickly now because of this.

"Those keys are only used to open Aochen's treasure house?" he asked again.

This sounds a little ridiculous. Ao Chen's epic is just a fragment of the history of the mountain people, and its level is obviously not as good as the myth of the elemental scepter.

You must know that the Earth Sword Harangya is one of the most important legends of the Earth Temple, but it is only a part of the Earth Scepter.

But Root still nodded: "Aochen's treasure house is only part of this legend. He only got the Dark Orb."

"So that's it," Brando nodded: "Then what will happen if we collect seven keys?"

"I don't know," the gods buried their secrets here - it was a door, and behind the door was the secret that allowed the gods to return to the world. "

Let the gods return to the world.

Brando's heart tightened immediately.
