Act Fifty-Seven: Elements of Civilization II

Click, click.

Brando and Nimesis walked slowly through the crystal forest, frozen branches turning into flying snow under their boots. The two of them looked up at the strange forest, the snow-white world seemed to turn into a palace of ice, and darkness seeped from between the trees, swallowing up the sounds, leaving only a dead silence.

"It seems a little weird." Brando stared at the dead forest, and the white mist quickly dissipated into the air.

"I don't feel any traces of life, is this a dead forest, frozen to death?" Nimesis pressed one hand to her sword, looking around with the same vigilance as ever.

"This is the legendary Tree of Mist, the fantasy forest that coexists with the crystal stag, how could it freeze to death." Brando raised his hands to his palms and sighed, rubbing his hands: "The task is not so simple, let's be careful." ”

Nimesis grimaced, and pulled her sword out of its sheath - but Brando turned around and held her hand, "Don't be in a hurry to show hostility, in such a place, be careful to invite the attack of dark magic-"

But the knight gently opened his hand, slowly drew her sword, and replied, "Don't worry, I can feel the flow of dark magic. ”

Brando watched as she drew her sword.

"Can you feel the flow of dark magic?"

Nimesis was expressionless, "Everyone has some special abilities, magic is tangible in my eyes, they are all over the world, and they are restrained by invisible forces. ”

"That's the law," Brando took a light breath, "Son of the Moon, your talent is better than that of Senior Sister Bai Jia, it's a pity that you don't choose the path of a wizard." The magic of the dragon, which shapes the magic, is simply made for you-"

The female knight snapped back to the blade of her sword and pointed the tip of her chilling sword at his neck: "I said, I am me. She is her. I don't want you to talk to me about this again, I hope you learn to be a little more respectful. ”

After speaking, she slowly withdrew her sword. There was a soft buzz, and the ripples on the blade of the sword vibrated slightly, as if an invisible air flow surrounded the long sword.

Brando was slightly stunned when he saw this scene. The aura that was wrapped around the sword was clearly the flow of dark magic—the Black Swordsman—and he couldn't help but glance deeply at Nimesis.

"I'm sorry—" he replied.

But Nimesis turned and walked forward.

Brando saw the straight figure of the female knight in the snow. There is a stubbornness and pride that belongs to her in her bones.

He thought for a moment, and quickly followed. He didn't expect that Nimesis actually had the talent to see the flow of dark magic, the son of the moon, the wizard bloodline talent second only to the blue scourge. It's no wonder she dares to say she can find the Crystal Stag.

The flow of dark magic was tangible to her. The river of magic in the forest was like a real river to her.

The two of them walked slowly through the forest, through the dead forest path - this rime forest was not large, but it gave Brando a very strange feeling, because he also had the dark detection attribute because of the flowing fireflies. But for some reason, he always felt that the magic in this forest was always strong and weak, and it was erratic.

Finally. He asked, "Do you feel the magic flowing in that direction?" ”

"I don't know." Nimesis's answer was simple.

"What?"

Brando thought the knight was joking, but when he looked back, he saw Nimesis with a stern expression: "The magic of this forest seems to have completely died down, but it is not the kind of dead silence, they seem to have flowed through these withered paths—"

The knightess pointed to the forest paths in the forest: "But now. All that remains is the traces of dryness. ”

"What, you say the magic of this forest is drying up—or is it already depleted?" Brando looked at Nimersis in disbelief.

Vaynd is a magical world. Every plant and tree in this world, which is made up of them -- not atoms, or some other finer substance. For the world under Martha's Tiamat Law, its foundation is built on the four elements

Fire, water, wind. Earth. As for light and darkness, they are not elements in themselves. It's just a manifestation of energy.

According to the agreement with Martha, the four elven kings continued to build the edge of Vaynd on the border of the world, and the whole world was built on this basis.

However, beneath the elements, the world of Vaynd still has a most primordial power—the magic of darkness. Whether it's the elements or the laws, it's just the bricks and blueprints of this world.

But the foundation of the whole world is magic.

Without magic, there would be no zài in this world, or a dead silence. Like this forest, it withers and dies down, eventually turning to dust.

However, this assumption does not exist in fact, because the whole world is floating in the sea of magic, and the magic is full of any part of the world, and it is absolutely impossible to exist in the natural black hole area of zài.

Unless there is some man-made reason.

Brando thought of this, and suddenly reacted: "Wait, what do you mean is in the center of the forest?" He narrowed his eyes and picked up the scabbard of the Earth Sword with a thud, then pulled the dark blade out of it.

But it was at this time that a pile of ice chips suddenly fell from the trunk above the two of them.

Brando was slightly stunned, and subconsciously raised his head vigilantly. Then he saw an ice elf about two or three inches tall with two pairs of ice crystal wings standing there, looking at them with the same wary look.

"Who are you, stop!" The fairy girl stood on the trunk of the tree and shouted to them with righteous words.

"Who are you?" Brando was stunned, he didn't expect that there were goblins in the forest, which was not the same as what the strategy said: "Aren't you going out to grab honey?" ”

"I'm ......" The fairy girl visibly wavered, but she quickly wiped her mouth: "I'm not like their idiots, I'm the guardian of the forbidden land. It is my duty to protect this place, Lord Malocha...... I—I'm not going to be swayed by the slightest benefit! ”

"It's kind of interesting." Brando couldn't help but be intrigued, he had never seen such a special goblin. "You mean you're not going to let us in, are you?"

"Nature."

The fairy girl jumped down from the tree, floated not far in front of the two, and patted her little breasts. With a serious face, he replied, "Listen, I will never let you go unless you step on my corpse." ”

"Everyone is responsible for what they say," Brando had not yet spoken, and Nimesis had already raised her long sword with a click, she took a step back, her weight sank, and she had already made a military swordsmanship gesture: "In that case." Just speak with the sword—"

"Wait."

Brando doesn't want to start it as soon as he comes up, and there is a situation where there is a discrepancy in the strategy, which can only show that there may be another hidden reason for this mission. But he was about to hold Nimesis on the shoulder beside him, but the female knight was even more determined than he had imagined. In a flicker, the figure had already shot arrows at the little goblin, leaving Brando scratching into the air.

"Nimesis!"

"Ahh The fairy girl was also taken aback by Nimesis's fierceness, but she immediately raised her hands and sang in a shrill voice, "Azure Dragon." Give me the blade to cut the enemy! ”

She pointed forward, and three circular circles with a diameter of nearly two meters appeared behind her. The three runes of 'Vir', 'Oar', and 'Meem' flashed on the circle in turn, and the high-level spell, Brando was startled - this is not an ordinary ice goblin, this is an elven messenger.

Dense, bright blue ice crystal fragments like blades appeared in large numbers behind the little goblin. Suspended in mid-air.

"Attack, Blizzard!"

"Nimesis. Come back! ”

The wind swept out from behind the fairy girl, forming a terrifying storm of ice crystals in the direction of her outstretched hand, and countless blade-like ice chips swirled in front of her, breaking countless trees with a 'brush'.

Nimesis was swept into the wind almost instantly, and normal people should choose to protect themselves first and avoid the edge in such a situation, but the female knight has her own fierceness. She gritted her teeth. Hands staggered in front of him, and there was a 'bang'. The flying snowflakes immediately froze a thick layer of ice edges there, and at the same time, the flying ice crystals instantly severed her arms, dragging long blood flowers to spin and fly backwards.

The Eruin uniform on Nimesis' arms hissed and turned into strips of cloth, but she still moved forward, stepping heavily into the snow and leaping forward with one lunge. At that moment, the fairy girl's eyes could not help but widen, for she had already seen Nimesis come to her—the female knight gritted her teeth, and the fighting will burned in her eyes so hot that she almost burst into flames.

The black hair fluttered wildly in the wind, and Nimesis parted her arms that were almost frozen, and then smashed her fist into the elf girl, sending her flying like a shooting star.

Brando watched in amazement as the leprechaun flew out and crashed into the snow on the ground, bouncing and rolling on the ground like a ball of yarn for a few laps before stopping.

"Woo, it hurts, mom ......"

The fairy girl groaned in pain, but she was beaten and cried, and got up and sat on the ground and cried.

The cry was so miserable that Brando, who was watching the battle, was a little embarrassed. But he turned his head to look at Nimesis on the side, only to see the woman who looked like a senior sister smearing her hand on her arm with a cold face, and the ice edge that was almost frozen with her skin fell down with the blood flower.

Brando couldn't help but hiss softly in his heart, and he didn't know if this woman felt pain, anyway, he looked a little painful.

"Alright, let's move on." Nimesis looked up and said to Brando.

"You're not going to take all your anger out on her, are you?" Brando asked, a little reluctantly.

The female knight stopped, glanced at him, and replied lightly, "I'm not as boring as you." ”

With that, she put away her sword and continued on her way. But it was at this time that the fairy girl, who had been crying very sadly just now, stumbled up from the ground again, and raised her hands with a blue nose and swollen face while sobbing:

"I ...... I said, you are not allowed to come! ”

She whined back.

Brando and Nimesis stopped together and looked at the inexplicable little goblin.
