Act 118 Eternity XIX
Under the uneven light of the torch, the dark blue ice formed an arch-shaped cavity. The low temperature caused the water to form a thin mist, which seemed to freeze the sound.
"Brando" Veronica's voice had a buzzing echo, and the lady turned back, her emerald green eyes reflecting the flickering light of fire: "How long do you think it will take for Enlek to reach the center of this temple? "
"Half a day, or forever, it depends on how much Enlek knows this place." Regarding Veronica's question, Brando was clear in his heart. He looked deep into the ice cave with the light of the torch, his eyes silent: "However, Anlek's cunning can be proved by the poet's songs. He exercises his iron-fisted rule on the plateau. Will such a person seek death?"
"The fanatical belief in the unity of all things will make him act like this, but it may not be stupid. I have dealt with those guys and I know them very well." Veronica looked at him, replied.
"So we have half a day?"
"The worst plan is this, maybe more, but it's not worth counting on." Brando replied.
"Can we make it before then?"
Brando did not answer this question. He turned back and his eyes were fixed on someone - wrong, a certain dragon. Star, who was attracted by his gaze, looked unhappy. The little fat man wiped the honey from the corner of his mouth, frowned and muttered: "Don't look at me with that look, this road must be faster, I swear --"
"What do you swear by?" Brando asked carefully: "For example, swear by the third golden scale under Bahamut's neck?"
"Ah, you guy!" Star yelled. In the second war with Dusk, Jormungandr, the snake of the atrium, bit Bahamut's neck, and the third golden scale fell off and was lost, just like a warrior's scar is a badge, maybe Out of the same mentality, the dragon tribe regards this lost scale as a symbol of eternal courage and honor.
Use this golden scale to swear an oath, an oath made. They are all Dragon Scene 118 Eternity The most sacred oath of the xix clan. Even for a cynical guy like Star, he dare not disobey at will.
"Do you know what you are talking about? You actually asked me to make a sacred oath!?" The little fat man shouted angrily.
"But what's more unfortunate is me, isn't it? You work for me, but I have to make my employees swear an oath to believe you. Is there a more unfortunate boss in the world? Martha is watching this world from heaven. Everything that happened. But nothing could be more ridiculous.
Star, someone told me not to believe you easily, you understand why -" Brando glanced at the little female dragon, and then slowly answered.
Star opened his mouth, and then replied naa-naa: "That's for the enemy, that's not a lie..."
"Since it's not a lie, then taking an oath will not damage anyone's honor, right?" Brando smiled slightly, and Shi Duo and Qian standing next to him felt that at this moment, the earl's smile really looked like that of a nobleman. A lord.
Confidence, hidden cunning——
"Okay. Okay" Star replied frustratedly in front of everyone: "I swear on the third scale of the Dragon God, all this is true, this road will definitely be the fastest shortcut, I bet we'll get ahead of that old human man. As long as-"
"if only?"
"As long as you don't go the wrong way..." Star muttered quietly.
"You're not going the wrong way on purpose, are you?" Brando looked at him.
"That's enough, I know!" Little Fat Dragon was almost made nervous by Brando, and couldn't help but scream angrily.
Brando turned back to Veronica, meaning that this was the answer to this question. The lady gave him a reproachful look. In her opinion, offending a giant dragon for such a trivial matter was a bit too much. .
Although this giant dragon is still very young. And the behavior is a bit weird.
"We must stop Anlek." She replied, which made Shi Duo and Laurenna behind her nod.
But Brando remembered a question. He raised his head and looked at Shi Duo: "Miss Scholar, what prompted you to use magic moonstone to activate those liquid monsters?"
Shiduo was startled by Brando's gaze. Her slender eyebrows trembled slightly, like moth feathers, but she quickly calmed down: "I, I really just want to try to activate them."
"Count Tonigel" The eldest son of the emperor had been silent at this time. Lenaret glanced at Brando and reminded lightly: "Miss Shiduo is a descendant of the Thun family. Please let me remind you. How do we, the Cruz people, defend our honor?”
Brando turned around: "It used to be Iron and Blood, but now it's Pride and Prejudice?"
"Okay, stop arguing." Shi Duo called out softly, interrupting the two of them: "Mr. Earl?"
Brando shook his head: "I'm not doubting you, Miss Shiduo, my question is, why did you suddenly think of using magic moonstone to activate them."
Shiduo's eyes lit up slightly, and the fire of memory inside her flashed away. She looked up and said, "Yes, that's right, I discovered something."
"something?"
"Some... very weird discoveries, you must want to take a look." Shi Duo paused and said, "I'm sorry, I was too nervous before and forgot to mention it for a moment."
"It doesn't matter." As expected, Brando turned back, frowning, and his eyes followed the direction of the torch light spreading along the ice wall into the darkness.
He seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted.
…
The other side of the ice cave——
The young lord's eyes swept over these skeletons half immersed in the darkness one by one. The skeleton was a little more than five feet tall, and the others were no more than six feet - this was obviously not the remains of the frost giant.
He lowered the torch, and the beating light rippled along the ice like water ripples, reflecting the entire skeleton. The first skeleton was wearing a robe. The robe was frozen on the ground like a piece of paper. Brando squatted next to it. When I tore off a piece with my hands, I found that the fabric was a bit strange, not like cotton.
"This is Lunsha linen." Shiduo's voice, she had obviously already inspected these remains: "The sloping texture is their most striking feature -"
"Are you familiar with it?" Brando asked without looking back.
"No, Mr. Earl, the development of the textile industry and clothing materials is not within the scope of my knowledge, it's just..."
"It's just that it's very famous." Brando took her words confidently.
Shi Duo looked at the Earl with some surprise.
"Are these dead humans?" Veronica suddenly asked.
"But why do humans appear here?" Laurenna asked a little strangely.
"Perhaps they are explorers." Ferras put forward his opinion confidently: "These people are very famous everywhere. The mysterious unknowns lost in ancient ruins are like deadly poison, attracting them like moths to the flames. , I have read many such stories.”
"This is not a story." Laurenna bluntly shattered his illusions.
"But……"
"Miss Lorena is right. It is wealth that attracts explorers, and it is greed rather than dreams that keeps these people coming." Medissa replied in a calm voice, smiling as always: "In our time . There are many explorers who are not separated from tomb robbers, and their reputations are not good."
"It's the same now." Laurenna rolled her eyes at her fiancé.
Ferras curled his lips and shrugged helplessly.
"These people are not explorers, right?" Veronica didn't need to participate in the young people's argument. She came to Brando and asked in a low voice.
"Don't the same style of armor on their bodies explain everything?" Brando turned around and looked at Veronica who knew what she was asking in a funny way: "I don't believe you, sir, can't see this?"
"They are soldiers, but which side? The Eruin people, or the Highland knights?"
"neither."
"neither?"
"Did you see this?" Brando picked up the rag in his hand. Shake.
"Linen?" Veronica frowned. The legion leader seemed to be thinking, but a page of linen seemed to have little association with her, and could only trap her in a maze of thinking.
Fortunately, Brando didn't intend to waste any more time. He just gave the answer and replied: "Lunsha flax is only grown in the north of Silver Bay. The fabric it makes is no longer the mainstream today, but it is indeed a A very famous plant."
He placed the piece of fabric on the page of the book that Shiduo held in both hands. "Miss Shiduo, answer it."
"I...Lunsha flax is famous because the Min'er people once widely cultivated it, and the fabrics made from it were once the main material for clothing in the Min'er dynasty." Shi Duo was stunned for a moment, but answered immediately.
"Miner?" Veronica raised her head. Somewhat unbelievable: "Brando, you mean these people are Miner people."
"The Min'er people are originally human beings, and modern humans are their descendants. Whether they are the Cruz people, the Eruin people, or the mountain people, in fact, in terms of appearance and height, they are no different from the Min'er people - ―If they all become skeletons." Brando replied.
"Are you saying that the legend that the Min'er people once came here and that they crossed the glacier is true?"
"Who knows..."
Brando suddenly recalled the previous dream in his mind. The huge chasm appeared repeatedly in his mind, as clear as if he could reach it at his fingertips. The Miner people wearing black linen robes danced weirdly on the edge of the chasm. dance, and then a team of priests came up carrying a golden box.
They were chanting something loudly, but the sound could not penetrate the dream and was vague. Finally, those people shouted in unison and dropped the box into the chasm.
Brando shook his head before driving this illusion out of his mind.
He instinctively felt that these Miner people who died here might have some mysterious connection with everything he saw in his dream. But he didn't want to think too much. After a moment of silence, he turned around and asked, "Shi Duo, what else did you find in these people?"
"I found that their armors and weapons have lost their magic power, and this..." Miss Scholar walked over and took out a small bag from each corpse. Those things should be their money bags, and Shi Duo took them one by one. The money bag is opened and the contents are poured out.
There were many small diamonds, but they were dull and looked more like glass products.
"The Miner people use magic crystals as currency, but the magic power in these crystals has long since escaped." Brando took a look at these diamonds and understood what Shi Duo meant. He replied: "No, these magic powers should It was absorbed, so you suspect——"
He raised his head and glanced at the pools of silver liquid in the east and west of the ice cave.
Shiduo nodded. ! ! !
