Scene 304: The Vortex VIII

The silver lightning outside the window occasionally skimmed over the dark sea, lighting up the sky like a beam of dazzling fire. ￠￡e￠￡Novel￠￡Net, www.ExiaoSHUO.COM￠Brando sat silently by the bed, not far away, Princess Magdal lay flat on the bed, as quiet as a sleeping fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.

After a while, Otales' voice sounded in his heart: "Brando, you guessed right, this little girl is not human, even—"

"Not even a creature." Brando's tone was calm.

"So you have already guessed it." Sister Yu's hoarse voice was slightly surprised.

"The scriptures of creation, the epic poem "Poetry of Cang" of the Cruz people said: 'The life of the mortal world is born from the water, multiplies on the earth, is protected by the wind, and is given wisdom by the flame' In the beginning, a sublime kindness walked on the surface of the water, endowing the humble, tiny creatures floating on the water with spirit, so life became "However, there is light and darkness complementing each other, there is both positive and negative, so the gods above the gods The man decided that 'the end of life is the kingdom of the dead, where the dead gather and are governed by a god(1)' but beyond the boundary between life and death, there is a third camp, which is stone, metal, etc. 'Everything without a soul'."

(Note: God of the Dead, Darkness Under the Light, Kos, Lord of the Land of Eternal Death)

"I don't see that you still have a lot of research on "The Poetry of Cang". I probably know that very few people in this era can read the ancient scriptures. In the era of the War of the Saints, these scriptures are related to prophecies and For us, it’s like a lighthouse in the dark.” Although he couldn’t see it, Brando still felt that Otales turned his head and glanced out the window, and he couldn’t help but also looked there——

A lighthouse stands on the headland with turbulent waves. In the darkness, a beam of light pierces straight into the deep sea, like a sharp sword, and also like the only truth between the overturned heaven and earth.

The magical storms born on the edge of the orderly world are gathering. More or less affected the civilized world. This year, the storm off the coast of Ambersea was more ferocious than ever before. It's just that very few people notice this abnormality. The sailboats all furled their sails and entered the port, and the owner waited for the first time to go to sea after the storm subsided.

"I have a very close relationship with the mages in the tower, as you know, Lord Otales, in a sense. I am half a mage. I am very interested in history, not just the Cangzhi poems of the Cruz people .Even I read some fragments of the Black Prophecy."

"Although what you said makes sense, I always feel that you are hiding something from me." Otales said with a slight smile. Brando could even feel the narrow eyes of the wind elf sister from this tone. "Also, I wish you could call me sister instead of 'Master Otales'."

"Then I can't say it out loud. ∮ E∮ Novels∮ Net,

www.exiao shuo.C∮O∮M∮" Brando replied shyly.

Otales laughed.

"Then you are my student, so it's okay to call me a teacher."

"Teacher." Brando called respectfully. Otales was not related to him, but he gave him a lot of significant help, and even saved him more than once; this kind of care is like An elder's love for a younger generation. Brando didn't say anything, but he was always very grateful in his heart.

Otales laughed: "Alright. Then, what are you going to do next?"

She wasn't the only one asking this question, there were quite a few people gathered in the room. Freya, who was standing side by side with Little Roman, didn't know that Brando was talking to a heroic spirit, but seeing the expression on Brando's face, she hurriedly asked, "How is it, Brando?"

Brando came back to his senses.

He glanced at the other people in the room, Su, Antitina, Ciel, Huque, Flo and Tina, and the rest of the Rubis mercenary group. Medfis and Metisa stood by the door. In the distance, there is the red girl who has been silent by his side all the time, basically the core of his small group.

"Princess Magdal's injury went through her heart. As I said, if it is a normal person, this is an irreversible fatal injury."

"Ah..." The silly girl Freya was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help pointing at Brando tremblingly: "But... Coco... Brando, you clearly said..."

Brando couldn't help laughing, "I said it, if it's a normal person, it's an irreparable and fatal blow."

"Oh, Brando, you mean this little girl is not a normal person, right?" Among all the people, Roman reacted the fastest and called out immediately. The others also reacted immediately, and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

"Don't forget that you are a little girl too!" Brando glared at the business lady, and then he nodded, "I hope you don't spread the word about this matter. Princess Magdal was not fatally injured, because she was not fatally injured. Not human."

"Not a human being? Is she a half-elf like Princess Griffin?" Freya asked puzzled, and couldn't help but look at the ears of the princess lying on the bed—but she was still the same as an ordinary person.

"No, to be exact, she's not even a creature." Brando replied word by word.

"What!?"

Everyone was startled. ￠￡e￠￡Novel￠￡Net, www.ExiaoSHUO.COm￠

Brando was silent for a moment. In fact, he had a hard time accepting this fact at first. However, when checking the other party's injuries, he realized something was wrong at that time. First, when he opened the other party's 'status' window, the name and other statuses were all clear at a glance.

Magdal’s real name is ‘Magdal? Armand Laudur? de Antobro" Armand Laudore was the surname of her matriarchal family, and Antobro was his fief name, and the naming rules of this name fully complied with the local customs of Antobro.

At the same time, it also conforms to Brando's memory.

Information such as this name and gender are known to Brando, so they will be displayed on the status. But there was one detail that caught his attention, and that was Magdal's race: ? ? ? .

This is very unusual, in theory, Magdahl is human. Not to mention human beings, even some common races are easy to distinguish. This is common sense, so it is theoretically impossible for him to be unable to distinguish.

The first time he saw Magdal's body, Brando was in a mess and hadn't noticed this detail. But looking back, he immediately felt something was wrong.

After carefully inspecting the other party's body, he immediately discovered another problem. The field ambulance told him that Princess Magdal had died at least two hours ago. However, a few minutes after death, the muscles begin to relax, the skin changes color and hardens, and this change will be quite obvious in the previous hour. But Her Highness the Princess at that time could not see this sign.

The key is. Although her skin is cold, it has always maintained a moderate elasticity, and it looks as if it is in a healthy state. In Warnd, most injuries and diseases are done through herbalism and magic, so most people don't have these common senses of biology known to modern people. However, in Brando's view, these details are very unusual.

So he quietly checked the pupils of the other party. There was a sudden shock in his heart, and the pupils of Magdal in the dead state were dimmed, as if the originally bright flame had been extinguished. It looks like the eyes of the dead. But the pupils are not dilated. And most importantly, there was a ray of afterglow like an extinguished spark in the depths of his eyes.

In Brando's memory, there is only one kind of existence that will show such a sign after 'death'.

That is the embers of the core of the soul, and there is only one kind of 'life' that needs to be driven by it - the puppet.

At that time, he almost didn't cry out in fright. His first reaction was whether this was the double of the princess, but then he realized that it was impossible. Because he immediately found the "silver ornament of the wind elves" from the dead princess. This ornament was given to the other party by himself at the auction in the afternoon.

If this doll is a substitute for Princess Magdahl. Then she didn't need to keep this thing at all, so as not to draw out the meeting between her and Brando.

Moreover, Her Royal Highness Antuburuo's princess may not be too delicate as a puppet. Except for the only evidence of pupils, there is no trace of inanimate features in the whole body, flesh and blood, just like ordinary people. Whether it is wisdom, personality or emotion, they are completely indistinguishable from normal people.

It was hard for Brando to believe that the girl who had discussed with him how to help her best friend and had a firm belief and a pure heart was a puppet, but after Otales checked carefully with his hands , and finally came to the conclusion that the other party is indeed a special existence that is very different from ordinary life.

To be exact, it is a very special doll. At least with Brando's knowledge, he has never seen such a wonderful life form. Her Royal Highness is obviously not the kind of soulless, hard-bodied creature.

Brando is more willing to agree that she is a very special 'race'. In fact, Otales also agrees with this. In the memory of the wind elf Yujie, she has actually seen such an existence. They used to be puppets, but later Endowed with intelligence, they formed a race of their own.

This race is the rune dwarves.

Since there is the same existence, then the existence of Magdal may not be so strange. But what Brando was curious about was the identity of the other party. As a princess of the principality, Magdahl was not an unknown person who existed out of thin air like him, but she didn't know her parents—whether the Duke and Duchess of Antobro knew this? One fact - it's interesting if you don't know it.

At least for now, it seems that Magdahl herself is unaware, and she has always believed that she is a human being. Even in history, Brando has never heard of any rumors in this regard. Instead, he remembered something. It was rumored that this nun and princess had a very miserable life after marriage, and even disappeared in the end...

It was originally just a gossip like an unofficial history of the aristocrats, but now it seems a bit subtle.

Brando shook his head, throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind. After he explained his thoughts in detail to everyone beside him - of course, except for the last paragraph of guessing - everyone couldn't help but stare wide.

"Wait, Brando, are you saying that Her Royal Highness Princess Magdal is a puppet?" Not to mention Freya, even Antitina was a little dumbfounded, "But...but..."

"No, in fact, Her Royal Highness is not a puppet, this is just a metaphor." Brando shook his head and explained: "Simply put, Princess Magdal's vital signs are different from what we know, She has no blood circulation, is not a carbon-based creature, but a constructed life, but like us, she also has her own soul."

"What is blood circulation, and carbon-based organisms? Is that the vocabulary of a mage?" Antitina asked puzzled.

"Ahem" Brando immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, but with the difference in his knowledge system from these people, this problem is really difficult to explain, so he could only cover up: "That's a professional term, just listen to it , in short, it's like..."

"It's like a rune dwarf, right? Brando said it, but was Uncle Odum really a puppet before?" Roman couldn't help but ask curiously, this young lady's thinking is always different from ordinary people .

"No." Brando replied angrily: "That was tens of thousands of years ago. If it is a puppet, it must be that Odum's ancestors are puppets, and it has nothing to do with him!"

"oh!"

"But... Her Royal Highness didn't know anything about this matter. Could it be that Princess Magdal has been lying to Princess Griffin?" Although she only spent a short time with the future Princess Regent, Freya has already Started to think about each other.

Brando's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately winked at the other party, shaking his head: "No, I suspect that Princess Magdalene doesn't even know about it."

"I don't even know?" Freya was slightly taken aback, and wanted to ask again, but when she saw Brando's wink, she immediately closed her mouth obediently. Immediately, she also realized that if Princess Magdal didn't know about it, there would be a big problem.

She thought for a while, then changed her words: "Then how can we save her?"

"To be precise, Princess Magdal is not dead at all. As for how to wake her up, I need to consult some information—but right now, we have more important things to do."

Brando glanced out the window.

There is hardly any ray of light before dawn between the dark sea and sky, but the hourglass has finished its final journey, and the most important day in the history of Amperexel is approaching.

But when things came to an end, he hesitated.

What made Marquis Youxi and others kill a princess and a high-ranking priest of the temple next time? It has too much to do with it. What did Princess Magdal see at the end.

The originally clear history seemed to be becoming darker, as if a huge vortex was forming in front of him.
