The Amber Sword

Act 54 Crystal Stag

The two stood on the cliff, staring at the silent valley. "More and more complete"

"Going down from here is the Holy Seal Valley. Do you remember the specific steps to capture the crystal stag?" Brando observed the situation below. The valley was also covered with dense cedar forests, but there were stars between the woods. Dots of bright light, that is the light of moonlight grass.

"Go down."

"Catch it."

Brando turned back and stared at the calm female knight. This is really like Senior Bai Jia's answer, simple, clear, without any ambiguity.

"Look at what I do. It's not troublesome to catch it with your current ability. I just remember that this valley is a concentric circle, with frost demons living on the outermost periphery, and then there is a lake. The water is very shallow, and it can be caught in many places. Wading through the water." Nimesis bathed in the night breeze with a calm expression on her face.

"Even getting this information from the kingdom's geography..."

"You guessed it right, Mr. Brando. I did learn this information from the "Geographical Chronicles of Manower" published in 355. The memory in my dream is fragmented. Sometimes I have to retrieve it from the literature. Correspondence." Nimesis replied calmly.

"But you told me you could find crystal stags! They will only appear at three or four o'clock tonight during the full moon, looking for the river of magic. But I have never found the river of magic..."

"I do, but you need to take me down first."

Brando breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the dark forest, and nodded: "That's not a problem."

The distance from the outer edge of the valley to the central lake is a slope that slopes toward the center, sparsely dotted with large tracts of cedar forest. The forest is dotted with moonlight grass, which shines brightly. From a distance, it looks like a piece of grass on fire. Dian. This is also the aura of the frost demon. The frost demon is a secondary elemental creature. It looks a bit like a flat ice man, its power is about the same as three skeleton soldiers, and its vitality is far more tenacious than the latter. However, there are no special attack methods, except for a spell called 'Ice Flying Knife'.

As a low-level monster, the frost demon also lacks intelligence. Actions rely entirely on the instinct of the beast. Therefore, hunters set traps to catch them. The magic core in their bodies, the frost core, is a low-quality magic crystal that can be sold at a good price in the market.

But Brando doesn't intend to provoke these things - most frost demons like to move in groups, especially near their habitats. He didn't want to attract these monsters to attack him.

This is the first test of this mission.

This test is a big trouble for ordinary players. Brando can imagine that unless a master completes this task. The choice of ordinary players is probably to call friends and fight all the way in from the outside.

However, this task was extremely simple for him. He took out the Punic King's all-covering cloak directly from his backpack. Then open it up and stand down. He looked up again at the female knight beside him: "Come in."

Nymesis hesitated for a moment before getting into the cloak. Huddled together with Brando.

"I'm warning you. Don't take the opportunity to get close to me." She said with a clear breath.

Brando nodded slightly awkwardly, and then closed the cloak with his hands. Inevitably. The distance between the two got closer, and Nymesis snorted slightly, but she also knew that Brando didn't mean to take advantage of her, so she could only ignore it.

With the All-Shielding Cloak, passing through the Frost Demon's territory became a very simple matter. There was no need to consider detours. Brando passed through the first half of the valley in a straight line. Soon, he saw a silver spot in the forest, which was a lake. The reason why the silver light shines is because the mirror-like lake surface reflects the continuous moon grass.

Brando approached the lake, and the sheltering cloak he held up in his hands finally lost its magic power. After flickering twice, it turned back into an old rag.

It was at this time that Brando heard a sharp cry from behind. He knew it was bad. He quickly put away his cloak and pulled out the Sword of the Earth. When he looked back, he saw a transparent ice crystal-like creature under the shadow of a tree not far away looking at them.

The thing looked like a thin iceman, only half the height of an ordinary human being. It could barely be seen that there was a red light on the head, which looked like eyeballs. But Brando knew that it was just the opponent's magic core.

This is the frost demon.

"It seems that the duration of your cloak is shorter than you expected. You have regressed, Brando." Nymesis turned around, pulled out her long sword, and stood back to back with Brando.

Brando was immediately embarrassed. Since he traveled to this world, his attention has been occupied by other things, and his sensitivity as a player has indeed slowed down a lot.

After a scream, twenty or thirty monsters of similar appearance immediately emerged from the cedar forest, surrounding the two of them in the center.

"How to fight?" Brando asked.

"I can deal with seven or eight heads no problem." Nymesis looked calm.

"Then you protect yourself and leave the rest to me."

Nymesis nodded, she knew Brando's abilities very well. With her strength, she can only be a drag on the opponent here, so she only needs to protect herself and prevent Brando from being distracted.

As soon as Brando finished speaking, the blade of the Earth Sword swiped downwards, and there was a loud bang, as if something rose from the ground, and two sharp rock fangs were seen piercing the surface and flying. He aimed at the two frost demons and nailed them to the cedar trunk behind them before the latter had time to react.

With a click, the cedar was broken at the waist, and the two frost demons were completely smashed into a pile of ice crystal fragments.

This just happened in an instant, so that before the many ice crystal monsters could react, there were already two less of the same kind. But as we all know, the Sword of the Earth will not be activated until the sword is swung. It is not that the sword was swung empty, but that Brando has not arrived yet.

Brando's figure is gradually fading.

But on the other side of the battlefield——

A black blade appeared in front of a frost demon - the monster raised its head and watched the earth sword sweep through its body, as if breaking glass, and the ice crystal body broke inch by inch.

Brando's sword seemed to cut through the gap and spread out a huge arc. The three-headed frost demon turned into countless flying fragments along with his sword.

The frost demon was shattered in mid-air. Melts at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before the broken body could hit the ground, it turned into a light blue crystal and fell to the ground.

This thing is the core of frost. A very inferior substitute magic crystal, but it can barely be regarded as a renewable resource - if Brando had just arrived in Tony Geer, such a substitute would still be a valuable asset to him. But it was useless now - he didn't even glance at these drops, and rushed into the frost demon like a whirlwind. In an instant, it seemed that four or five Brando appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

Nymesis soon joined the battle, and the battle was basically one-sided. Only the last few frost demons used ice flying knives to cause a little scratch on the female knight when they were about to die. It is basically impossible for these monsters to pose any threat to Brando.

The last frost demon also turned into ice slag under Brando's sword. The battle was over in just a few minutes. Brando didn't even feel that he had even warmed up. However, Nimesis spent a lot of energy. She used all her strength to push away the frost and finally killed it. Let the corpse fall to the ground with a 'crash' and break into thousands of pieces, and then hold the sword. It seems very laborious.

Brando looked back. Looking at the blushing female knight captain, she teased: "You have also regressed a lot."

"Don't compare me with her. I'm not her." Nymesis breathed out lightly, raised her head and glared at him hatefully.

Brando smiled faintly. He also knew that Nimesis was not Senior Bai Jia, but they seemed to influence each other. From her, he could always see the shadow of Senior in the details. He finally knew now why, apart from her appearance, she always gave him a kind feeling.

Perhaps it is because of this feeling that it is difficult for him to have a bad feeling towards the other person, and he even has some natural closeness to him.

At this time, the body of the frost demon killed by Nimesis was melting, as if it had turned into snow and seeped into the meadow, leaving behind a dark blue hexagonal crystal. Brando's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"Well..." Nimesis also found something at her feet, and she gently picked it up: "This is..."

"Heart of Frost!" Brando almost screamed.

"Martha, how come your face has improved?" He looked at the female knight dumbfounded and blurted out: "The drop rate of this thing is only 0.003%!"

Nymesis was startled for a moment, then looked at him hatefully, and replied word by word: "I said, I'm not her -"

"But it's not as black-faced." Brando couldn't help but complain. Thinking of the knight chief's experience of opening corpses several times before, he felt a little frightened.

"What did you say?"

"No, just a sigh..." Brando shrugged.

Nymesis glanced at the gem in her hand, her eyes a little confused, but she obviously knew this thing. She held up the Heart of Ice: "Do you want this thing to be useful to you?"

"It has a great effect." Brando took a deep breath and answered honestly.

"But you're not an elementalist, right?"

"I know, but it is more useful to me than to the elementalist-" Brando replied.

After hearing his answer, Nymesis didn't hesitate much, as if the thing in her hand was a piece of garbage to her, she took another look at the gem, then threw it away. "Remember, don't compare me to her. I am me, and my name is Nymesis." Along with this action, the female knight ordered coldly.

Brando was slightly startled. He suddenly thought of something: "Is this why you don't want to learn magic...?"

But before she could finish her sentence, Nymesis stared back with a cold look. "I'm going to take care of the wound." The female knight dropped these words and disappeared behind the woods.

Brando actually had the answer in his mind, but he stayed for a while before bending down to pick up the Heart of Frost. Opening the panel, a familiar attribute immediately appeared in his field of vision:

Heart of Frost
