Scene 53 The Long Road, Fragments of the Past VII

As if by mistake, Brando obeyed Niemesis's instructions and issued the order to camp on the spot. However, he did not take Charles, Medisa or Hipamira with him, but chased Niemasi alone. Mesis entered the forest of Anlaser. The two war horses walked through the forest at night, passing by a gentle hillside area - this is the Weller hillside north of Qianshui Town, which Brando is familiar with - but soon the woods gradually became sparse and open, and in Brando's field of vision In the middle, a path like silver is paved between the woods. That is actually the reflection of the moonlight. The silver moon is in the sky, depicting the jagged treetops of cedar trees, with dead leaves piled up in layers below.

The back of the female knight Miaoman was always in front of Brando, maintaining a slow speed, not speaking, and just moving forward silently. But Brando finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart. He pulled closer to the two of them and said, "What exactly do you want to do, Ms. Nimesis——"

The female knight slowed down her riding speed and replied without looking back: "Didn't I tell you before, I know where the Crystal Deer is." Her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, flowing gurglingly.

This is not the answer Brando wants. The answer he wants is another: "But how do you know...?"

This place was very close to a valley he remembered called Holy Silver Valley, where there were many moonflowers in bloom. But more importantly, there is an even more beautiful and fascinating creature that lives there.

According to folklore in Anlaser, there is a charming crystal stag living in the forest. Whenever the moon is full, it will walk in the forest and swallow the moonlight. Few people have seen it, but any hunter who encounters it by chance will have good luck within the next month.

Legends are just legends after all. The crystal stag in "The Amber Sword" is actually just an elemental creature from the water elemental plane, existing in small amounts in Warnd. In Eruin, they mostly inhabit the Anlaser Forest and the Needle Hills in the south of the Frost Forest. Their food is pure magic. Therefore, when the Magic Moon is full, these charming creatures will migrate in the direction of the flow of magic in the forest.

This is a level 55 elemental creature with simple 'healing' elements. It is worth mentioning that. They are not as peaceful as in the legends. Crystal stags have a strong sense of territory and will often take the initiative to attack intruders. And they will also act together with the frost demons in the forest. Therefore it is not a suitable prey to capture.

However, there is often only one elemental civilization task in the area north of Manowell, and that is to obtain the crystallized blood of the crystal stag.

The crux of the matter is, how could she know all this.

The female knight turned her head sideways, and the milky moonlight outlined the curves of her face; she looked at him, with bright reflections in her eyes, but she was very calm: "I also know that what you want is crystallized blood."

Brando's knuckles holding the reins turned white: "Who are you?"

"Equivalent exchange,

Before answering your question, I want to ask you a question first. "Nimesis turned back and continued to move forward slowly on the horse. Her voice was very soft and smooth, as if she was describing an insignificant matter.

"..." Brando was silent for a moment, his mind a mess. He tried to sort out a clue. But all the questions focus on one point. He hesitated and said, "...you ask."

"Some people are racing, and at this time a rider has surpassed the original second place. May I ask where he is now."

Brando didn't expect Nimesis to ask such an incomprehensible question. Without thinking about it, he blurted out: "First place?"

Nymesis smiled: "I understand, you are Sophie, right?"

Brando was frozen on his horse like a stone statue. He stared at the female knight, his teeth chattering. The name seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat: "Bai Jia...senior sister?"

Nymesis stopped and glanced at him.

"I'm not her."

"This is impossible!" Brando was a little restless. He almost recognized the other party - otherwise, why would Nymesis not exist in history, why would she look exactly like the senior sister, and why would she know who he was? ?

But why doesn't she admit it?

"But I know she-" Nymesis replied calmly.

Brando was slightly startled. Nimesis's tone was very quiet, which seemed to calm his restless heart. He looked at this woman - this familiar figure with some confusion: "What on earth is going on?"

"I don't know either..." Nymesis sighed faintly: "But I'm glad I guessed it right. If you don't find it boring, I can tell you about myself -"

"Please tell me." Brando tried his best to suppress his emotions. He felt that he was going crazy.

"I've been having dreams for as long as I can remember, weird, ridiculous dreams. Sometimes, in my dreams, I dreamed that the kingdom fell and everything was in flames. Sometimes, I dreamed that I became someone else— —In such a dream, I am like a bystander, but I am still struggling with the obscure destiny. In the end, history returns to the same path..." Nymesis slowly recounted her past, her The tone became a little lower: "...In that history, I know your senior sister."

Brando seemed to wake up from a dream, and his first words were: "This is impossible!"

"Among all her members, you are the stupidest. You are always wrong in all the quizzes. But her favorite member is you, because you are simple, ideal, and like a blank sheet of paper." Nymesis replied: "I more or less guessed your identity, but until today, I was not sure who you were - Sophie."

Brando held the reins tightly and stared at the woman.

"Since you are not her, why are you telling me this?" His voice sounded like his soul had been drained...

"Because I'm scared."

"Fear?"

"In my dreams, I have seen many bizarre scenes. I don't know which of them are real and which of them are fake. But until this dream started to come true one by one, I began to fear that the final outcome would finally come. I I gave myself a name - Nymesis. Among the few memory fragments I have about that dream, this word represents the meaning of revenge, and I hope to resist my own destiny."

"Wait..." Brando seemed to be listening to an incredible story. He found that he actually understood what Nimesis said. They corresponded to everything that happened in the previous world. But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the female knight: "Don't interrupt."

The female knight continued: "Because of this wish, I came to the princess. But I found that my idea was a bit wishful. I joined the royal party, but it was just like what I saw in my dream. The royal party could not stop it. When all this happened, Eruin was like a sinking ship that was caught in a storm, and everyone on board could only watch it being pulled into the center of the whirlpool..."

At this point, she stopped: "Do you believe what I said?"

Brando's feelings at this moment were no less than the day when Butchi traveled through the world, and his mind was also in the same state of confusion. He vaguely felt that there was some kind of connection between them, but he couldn't figure it out at all. Hearing the female knight's question, he nodded stiffly: "This is an incredible story, but..."

"But do you believe it, right? Because you have personally experienced part of it." Nymesis asked quietly, and this question made Brando tremble.

He stared at her.

"Because this has the same opportunity for me," Nymesis did not avoid Brando's gaze, "until one day, I found that everything began to deviate from its original trajectory."

"...Since which day." Brando actually guessed something, but he still asked in an almost ghostly tone, his voice trembling.

"Since the day Grudin died."

Brando shivered slightly.

The female knight seemed to have never said so many words in her life. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you understand, Mr. Brando? I know that you are the only chance to change all this. Only you can make Eruin not stop." Falling into destruction. Because I understand that you and I have experienced the same history——"

"Although I don't understand your origin, maybe you had the same dream as me, but I at least understand your thoughts." She turned back and looked at him with bright eyes: "You won't let it happen again. It happened once, right?”

Brando rode silently on the horse and did not answer for a while.

"Why are you telling me this?" After a while, he asked the same question as before.

"Because I want to help you-"

Nymesis replied.

"help me?"

"That dream was both clear and fuzzy, and it told me some trivial things. Although I can't even remember when the war between Eruin and Madara broke out, I can't tell who is the enemy and who is the friend. , There seems to be a barrier between history and me—" She paused slightly: "But, you know, she knows more than you. I can help you, Brando."

"Is it like now?" Brando took a breath. He knew that what Nimesis said was right. The senior knew more than him. Before Lin Mao's age, he was still a complete rookie. And much of his information about the era before this comes from the records on the forum after that.

But before the first Black Rose War broke out, the senior was already a senior regimental leader.

But he didn't expect that even in another world, she would still stand by his side as before.

Brando suddenly felt a little astringent in the corners of his eyes, and he blinked: "Can you remember everything, Ms. Nymesis?"

"I can't," the female knight replied calmly, "but I can remember at least part of it."

"That's enough," Brando smiled slightly, his mood completely calmed down. He stopped his horse and stretched out his hand to the other party: "With Martha as my witness, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Nymesis also stopped. This is a common form for players to form teams in the game. She was slightly startled, as if she felt like she was in another world.

But she just reached out and touched Brando's finger gently: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, but don't try to take advantage of me -"

Brando: "..." (To be continued) (Amber Sword)
