Act 524 The Throne of the End I

Thunder that did not belong to this season flashed in the heavy clouds on the sky, and fell one after another. Under the light purple skyline, there was an endless wilderness plateau.

"They are coming!" Someone shouted in the wind as the flag blew in the turbulent wind. A tiny spot appeared on the horizon, then a second, then a third, and more and more spots, gradually forming a bright line. Like the rising tide, a thin line of water has appeared between the sky and the sea.

Then came the majestic sea.

On that jagged line stood tall figures that had never been seen before - the crystal cluster lords. The projection of Leviathan's children appeared on the sky, and the tail of a swimming whale floated up and down in the clouds. After the clouds parted, a huge black sphere was revealed, like an empty eye, staring at this desolate highland.

Everyone fell silent.

The crowd suddenly parted ways. Freya, wearing a white lion armor, walked to the top of the city accompanied by the knights. The sharp turbulence blew the mane on her collar, and the white lion's mane stood up one by one and flew back; the girl's dark eyes reflected purple electric light, one after another, as if her eyes were lit up. Eyes.

The hair is flying on her snow-white forehead, and the softness in her eyes is a bit more charming and gentle than that of the heroic female knight in the past. Everyone felt the change in their commander's temperament. Freya was like a newlywed wife, holding the ring tightly and pursed her lips as she watched this scene.

A few kilometers away, the trembling of the earth could be heard.

The cold wind comes from the plateau of Karasu and blows all over the southern border along the Tuosangkad Forest. Everything is withered and covered with frost, and the world is covered with silver. Brando stood in the biting wind, and the wind seemed to carry the atmosphere of that distant plateau, a hint of warm familiarity. He looked down at the strand of silk fluttering in his hand, with a ribbon tied on it, and he couldn't help but feel lost. .

The beauty has gone, but the fragrance still lingers.

Outside the fir castle, snow fell quietly in the pine forest, and the cold wind swayed the branches. Under the tall black pine, Haruze stood next to his sister, and the rolled up snowflakes pulled his long cloak flying, but this young man The king said nothing, looking at his teacher with bright eyes shining with crystal tears.

"After seeing you for a thousand miles, we must say goodbye eventually." Brando turned around, carefully put away the strand of silk close to his body, and said with a smile: "Let's stop here. After all, in this war, we will eventually embark on each other's journey. Different battlefields. I don’t want to say anything to encourage morale. I just want to say that let’s wait for each other in this battle that determines the future destiny. There is hope in the end. Maybe one day, everyone can reunite here.”

The people who stood proudly in the cold wind were King Solomon, the dwarf king Carifon, the archdruids Grayfury and Funya, and then the residents of the Fir Territory. The staff lady stood in front of everyone. Behind her were Fern, Kerenthia, the dwarf Odum, Kuran, Leto and Tamar. The caveman king Tajib passed away a few years ago, and his son Takoub stood behind everyone, standing with Uriel, who had retired from the White Lions for a year.

Then came the nobles of Eruin, already Overwell, followed by Count Odin, who had gray hair on his temples, Marjorie and Oni, who had been married for two years, and the fat man Avram - it is said This guy actually got together with Yi Deni recently and won the favor of the Earl of Gray Mountain - Beside him, Yi Deni still looked at their 'leader' with some worry. She was still the timid and kind-hearted person from the beginning to the end. Girl. Levin's maid Adesha was wearing a black dress and stood with Chiara.

Finally, Delphire and her father, the Earl of Yanbao, and the cow knights Nia and Ronin, who Brando had met once in Ampelsel, were among them. Adni and Naquil are also among the crowd. They have been staying in Eruin for half a year, and will return to Rubik again to lead the desert people to the Great Plains - to build a new one there. home.

All eyes fell on Brando.

"Teacher..." Haruze choked up several times and was almost speechless.

"Haruze, put away your tears, His Majesty the King of Eruin cannot cry easily." Brando said with a smile.

"But..." Haruze looked at him with tears in his eyes and said with a cry: "...Teacher, I want to go with you."

Brando couldn't help but feel funny. He looked at Princess Griffin, but found that Her Royal Highness turned her head away.

He sighed, walked to Haruze in the snow, raised his hand, and tapped his crown with his knuckles. The little prince raised his head and looked at his teacher. His silver eyes were filled with water, and his eyelashes were long and dense, blinking with a little confusion.

Brando tapped three times and asked, "Do you feel the weight?"

"The weight is on your head."

"Authority, duty, responsibility."

"Don't live up to it."

Crystal tears rolled down from his eyes.

Brando turned back and looked at Antitina: "Tonigel will trouble you."

The staff lady didn't even look at him. She lowered her head and just nodded silently.

"your Highness."

"I don't want to hear it," Griffin said calmly: "But I order you to come back alive and marry me."

Brando was startled.

Then smiled.

He bent down and straightened Haruze's collar, and straightened the shimmering silver lily brooch on the collar for the little prince. He straightened up and took one last look at everyone - especially the citizens of Tonigel. His eyes swept over the faces of those familiar people one by one.

Then turned around.

The wind and snow were rising all over the sky, as if only a lonely figure was left.

There is a silent silence in the snow shadow.

…

The faint winter sunshine slants into beams and shines in the corridor.

The sound of pattering came from far to near. Su held a pile of changes of clothes in his hands and walked expressionlessly in this deserted corridor. The sun casts interlaced light and shadow on her face, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and her appearance has become more and more picturesque over the years. Due to her tall height and slender figure, this daughter of the copper dragon has already grown into a fir-collared figure. A beauty known far and wide.

Many aristocratic children have expressed their admiration for her overtly or covertly, and even many people in the White Lions have expressed their love for her. Manrique, the young commander of the Silver Fleet, is one of the many suitors. But the girl refused without hesitation, and for many years she has been quietly leading the role of head maid in Fir Castle, actually taking over Fro's job in the past.

She stopped in front of a door, knocked, then turned the handle and pushed the door open.

"Miss Juta, change your clothes."

But the situation inside the room made Su stunned for a moment - the snow-white bed was empty, with only the scattered sheets proving that someone had been here. The window on one side was open, and the cold wind poured into the house from the outside. The curtains were flying, and the snow even fell on the desk, and then melted into ice water and dripped on the wooden floor.

"Miss Juta?"

…

Walking silently in the wind and snow.

In my memory, the entrance to the tomb is near the bottom of the valley, and the broken pillars are still standing there - among the bushes, covered with a thick layer of snow; the stone pillars have not been well maintained and are in worse condition than before. Worse, the text on the surface has also been smoothed out a lot.

After arriving here, Brando stood for a moment.

The scene when I found this place that day seems to be still before my eyes. Although some details have long been blurred, the memory of people and things is more profound. He seemed to still be able to remember the knights of the White Lion Legion, and could call out the names of those people one by one. Some of those people later died in Ampelser, Mintai or Cruz, and some were injured and left the White Lions. The legions have already married and have children; and some of them are still fighting on the plateau of Karasu, fighting for the future of mankind.

Brando pressed his heart gently with his hand. His heartbeat was slow and strong, but the thoughts in his heart were very complicated. He could always vaguely see a businesswoman with raised eyebrows and raised eyes appearing in front of him. He frowned and looked at her. He stretched out his hand to pinch her face. The delicate touch is still there in his fingers.

"Brando, I tied myself to the horse, how about it, it's awesome, hahaha!"

"There's nothing wrong with me looking like this."

"Wow, it hurts so much——"

Then it all fell away.

Brando smiled slightly, put away his thoughts, lowered his head and entered the tomb. In the darkness is a dim corridor, with the smell of dust, mold and earth floating in the air, and simple stone pillars supporting the four walls of the tomb passage - Brando recalled as he walked. There was originally an agate-colored light barrier here, and behind it was a tomb, where they encountered the ghoul attack for the first time.

He saw a stone platform and remembered that there was originally a Fire Crow's Tongue, which was a brass-grade magic sword. That sword is still Yuta's sword.

Further back is the big sarcophagus.

He took out the stone pieces from his arms, one of which was like a chisel, which was found in the coffin. Brando gently put the stone piece back into place - there was no need for it now. He raised his head and saw that the collapsed part under the tomb had long been re-excavated. Below was the place where he and the deer-shaped banshee Yujie fought against the Pendulum Man.

A graceful figure stepped out of the darkness.

After being cured of the crystallization disease, Elaine looked at him charmingly, with a lazy smile on her face: "You're here."

Brando nodded: "Where are the others?"

"It's all ready."

"You don't have to go, Miss Elaine."

"Sister Elaine," the banshee corrected, "it's pointless to stay outside. Everyone is participating in this war, so how can I stay out of it."

Brando nodded silently.

The two walked down the stairs, entered the caves, passed Enol's labyrinth again, and then the endless crystal distribution belt. Brando stopped again in front of the huge crystal. Trishman, the Witch King, and the middle-aged swordsman were still lifelike, as if the crystal seal banned their lives and also stopped time for thousands of years. of erosion.

Brando silently saluted the three of them, then crossed here and continued moving forward. The deer-shaped banshee looked at his figure from behind, saying nothing, but there was also a trace of respect in her eyes.

Mysterious magic patterns began to appear on the crimson surface, and the signs of magic erosion became more serious in the past five years. Purple light even seeped out of the cracks in some places. Brando looked at these details and understood that five years was just a blink of an eye for a seal that had lasted for thousands of years. The continuously rising tide of magic was the culprit of all this.

Just like the wall of the world in the elemental realm, with the awakening of the Dusk Dragon, the seal is on the verge of collapse.

But what exactly is underneath?

Just the final throne?

The two finally came to the gate - the cave area became extremely open here, with circles of golden ripples rippling in the space. When approaching these ripples, people could see each one slowly rotating like a clock. A golden translucent magic circle that looks like a pointer. It seemed that even the flow of time was accelerated here. Brando seemed to be able to see the passage of life through the flowing gravel, but he immediately shook his head and understood that it was just an illusion caused by the distortion of huge magic power.

This is the ultimate copy in the world of Amber Sword, accurate over time.

Brando saw other people here. Standing in front of the gate were Charles, Medissa, Medphis and Hipamira. Huque and his team, Marocha and Ropar were standing there. Somewhere further away. When he arrived, there was a cheer of joy in the darkness, and the little female dragon emerged from the other side of the darkness. Frofa stood not far from her, and Aloz's golden pupils seemed to be burning. Circle Flame looked at Brando: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Brando looked at everyone first, and looked at each of his subordinates one by one, responding to each other's eyes. Then he replied to Aloz: "Aloz, thank you for coming."

The little female dragon raised her chin: "Of course, it is enough for the mortal battlefield to have Mythril, but this war is equally important to us. After all, this is a direct battle with the Dragon of Twilight. Solomon hopes that the Dragon Clan can also Work hard for this, we are the last golden race after all, of course, the key is that I can't worry about you."

"The key point is the last sentence." Frofa said.

Aloz glanced at his partner angrily.

Brando smiled slightly, but his eyes fell on one person in the crowd.

"Akane."

The mountain girl's face turned slightly pale, and she subconsciously took a step back - no matter what, this was the first time she had disobeyed the lord. But she held the spear in her hand tightly, and she understood what this battle meant. No matter what, she would never leave Brando again.

The girl had already made up her mind.

But Brando looked at her, but did not say the words she expected. He just said very seriously: "Follow me later, your strength is slightly weaker."

Akane looked up in disbelief.

Brando smiled at her: "If I fail, there is no point in staying anywhere. If you want to stay by my side, just do what you want."

Akane's eyes turned red almost immediately, but she quickly looked away and wiped her eyes.

Brando walked past her gently, raised his head and looked at the huge light door - everyone fell silent. Because everyone present knew very well what it would mean once they stepped through this door. After Brando was silent for a moment, he turned back and asked everyone:

"Although the purpose of each of us coming here is already clear. But at this moment, I still want to ask each of you, everyone - are you ready?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then, come on." Brando took a deep breath: "Facing the throne of the end, facing the dusk -"

…(To be continued.)
