Act 152 Beneath the Ice
The magic ball of light reflected the surroundings brightly, and the white light outlined the uneven zigzag lines of the ice surface, forming an inverted bowl-shaped ice cavity, narrow and quiet. To Brando's question, Kou Hua just looked at him, smiling slightly, his eyes calm, neither arguing nor refuting; On the other side, Anlek was half-leaning against the ice wall without saying a word, he had broken his forehead, his wrinkled face covered in blood, and he looked extremely wolfish.
This made Brando difficult, did she really want to stab her with a sword, it was okay to want the other party to be a vicious monster, without any psychological burden, but the other party now seems to be just a harmless little girl, although her existence may lead to a very bad future, displace many people, and make many people lose friends and relatives, but after all, it is only a possibility. If the girl was in a hurry to argue, he might have thought that the other party had bad intentions, but Kouhua was very clever, and she didn't say a word, but seemed calm, so that Brando had no idea what to do.
Brando had a sword in his hand, but he finally sighed and put down the dark blade, he couldn't kill because of a false possibility.
I'm still too soft-hearted.
Brando couldn't help but shake his head, if Antitina saw it, he would definitely have to warn him in private that a person who has achieved great things should not be too mother-in-law. However, he didn't know that Antitina had always been loyal because of his mother-in-law, who was different from other nobles, and that Miss Staff was not hard-hearted after all, but she was afraid that he would be calculated by those cold-blooded nobles and would never recover.
A disdainful snort came from behind him.
Brando looked back and saw Enleck's unkempt beggar-like face, but his expression was full of contempt, as if he had a disdain for his woman's kindness. He was suddenly furious in his heart, and said to the side of the bold, I can't take Kou Hua, I can't help it, I can't take you? You have the blood of the Eruin on your hands. In Ampesel's actions, he completely pushed him to the opposite side of civilization, and under the rule of the Flame Temple, it is a felony for Eruin to simply collude with demons, not to mention luring the demon army to the ground, and at the same time stealing the portal of the Flame Temple, almost destroying Ampesel, a port of hundreds of thousands of people. Any one of these is enough to die 10,000 times, and there is more than enough to die.
Brando stared coldly at the Duke, who had once dominated the world in Eruin.
An Rick also looked up at him at the same time, his eyes moved under his long eyebrows, and he only said one word, and immediately fixed Brando there: "Dark Dragon? โ
Brando gasped, and almost couldn't resist stabbing this guy directly on the ice: "What did you say? โ
"As far as I know, there is only one person who can see through the fog of history," Anlek replied slowly, "and that is the dark dragon that the witches foresaw." โ
"Fighting against people who are ahead of history, I am not unjustly defeated." He closed his eyelids. It's like resigned to fate.
This guy seems to have decided that he is the Dark Dragon, Brando is a little speechless, thinking to himself whether those gods and gods in the Snow Country of Bunosson still have a sense of secrecy, why does their prophecy seem to be known to everyone, aren't they afraid that the Flame Sanctuary will find out the inheritor of the Dark Dragon and kill it first?
But he immediately realized that there was something wrong with thinking so, and in the Black Prophecy stated that the dark dragon that had returned to Vaynd was as bright as a torch, omniscient and omnipotent. Being able to see through the fog of history is so awesome. Naturally, he will not be killed by the Temple of Fire, and if the Dark Dragon dies, it can only prove that he is not the real Dark Dragon, this Nima is a paradox. Brando now finally understands the strength of these prophecy writers, anyway, it makes sense to say both the pros and cons, it's just up to you how you want to interpret it.
Just like Enlek at the moment. Brando suddenly understood the other party's thoughts, the duke was arrogant and unwilling to admit that he had lost to a mortal, and simply decided that he was the Dark Dragon, anyway, this was the only way to explain his previous conversation with Kou Hua.
Of course, this stubborn conjecture is nothing more than a joke to the average person. Just laugh at it. But for Brando, it's a bit crooked, first of all, he himself has the inheritance of the Dark Dragon, although this thing is very hidden, but if the Temple of Flame wants to check, it is not completely impossible to find out. Secondly, he showed that kind of judgment about the future, which seems to be explained only by the rumors of the Black Prophecy, although he knew that the reason for this was not because of any omniscient omnipotence, but because he had traveled from the future in the first place.
But the question is, who would believe it?
Another thing that made Brando wonder was what was going on with Enleck's resignation, in his perception, the Duke was definitely a guy who didn't let go until the last breath, not the image of a loser who seemed to be discouraged at the first time he had been hit. As far as he knew, the Archduke of Enleck had a rich life, and it was not all smooth sailing from his birth to today, and he encountered countless setbacks, large and small, and even lost his most beloved woman in his youth because of the struggle for succession, and Brando once suspected that it was precisely for this reason that drove him to madness and paranoia, and let the good Grand Duke not do it, and wanted to run away to become a cultist.
In any case, compared to these experiences, this defeat did not seem to be a huge setback in Enlek's life, and to whom did the Duke make such a appearance? There are only two people here, he and Kou Hua, Kou Hua will definitely not be able to save him, and if he shows him, does he want to retreat as advance?
Could it be that this Duke really thinks that he is too soft-hearted to kill?
Brando frowned, this is definitely not that simple. He couldn't help but take a closer look at An Lek, his gaze quickly condensed slightly, and stopped at An Lek's hand, the hand of the Grand Duke of An Lek did not look like a duke's hand at all, as if it had been weathered, but it was consistent with his military status, but these were not the point, the focus was the ring on the index finger that shimmered with a faint light - a ring in the shape of a snake like an Ouroboros.
Ring snake ring.
It turned out that the key was here, and Brando said that it was so dangerous that he almost forgot about it. This thing had caused him great trouble when he first came to this world, and he hadn't forgotten the purpose of this ring - if he 'missed' and killed An Rick here today, the news that he was the Dark Dragon would soon be known to the higher-ups of the All Things to One, and the Dark Dragon was the sworn enemy of the Four Great Sages. However, the idea that the enemy of an enemy is a friend is not universal, and the relationship between the Dark Dragon and the Cultists of Twilight is also very similar, and the One Thing Society will surely be happy to see him fight with the Temple of Fire.
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this guy had this idea, and he put the ring in the most conspicuous place. I think it was just to warn him.
"How?" Seeing Brando's face change, Enlek asked, "Could it be that the dark dragon is too soft-hearted to kill?" โ
"Not really, it's just that I like your ring. Why don't you take off the ring and give it to me, and I'll give you a good time, and reluctantly arrange for you to meet your master, the Dragon of Dusk. Brando replied angrily.
An Lek smiled, as if he had finally recovered from the embarrassment of the wolf bรจi before: "There is no need to be so troublesome, this is just an ordinary ring, there is no problem of dissolving the magic of zร i." You could have killed me with a sword. Then pick it up yourself. โ
"Old fox!" Brando scolded in his heart, this is a typical cheap and obedient person.
"Little slippery!" Enlek was also cursing, and he couldn't help but rejoice that thanks to the presence of an eldest daughter of Isis, he had finally been able to catch the other party's handle. Otherwise, with his current state, maybe he would have given Brando the Fa here on the spot, but Brando's sharp reaction also made him secretly frightened, originally he thought that he had to make a threat in person, but he didn't expect that the other party would understand the cause and effect just by looking at his ring. It doesn't just take a mind, it also requires a good understanding of the internal structure of the One Society.
Such a monster from there. An Lek couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
An Lek naturally couldn't be killed, but fortunately, as long as he was still in his hands, he must not dare to reveal the secret lightly, otherwise his only reliance for survival would be gone. Brando already knew that this Grand Duke of Anlek would never be willing to die like this, if he hadn't seen the ring before. Then the other party will most likely take the initiative to remind him, or simply threaten him directly, his purpose is to live, not to reveal the information of who is the dark dragon.
Now the two can be said to have mastered each other's weaknesses and ideas, and they are also afraid of each other for a while. On the contrary, a certain balance was reached, although it was not said in the mouth, but it was also tacitly understood.
Brando simply ignored the old fellow Anlek, and besides, there were still empty seats in the dungeon of Fort Fir, and when it came to his territory, he had a way to invalidate the ring. As for what thoughts are turning in Anlek's head, he can't control and doesn't bother to care, anyway, Anlek believes that the dark dragon is his biggest reliance, but in fact, Brando's hole cards are far more than that, since Anlek is willing to go all the way to the black, he might as well give the other party a ride.
The two of them had their own ghosts, and Brando looked back at Kouhua, and the girl was lying on the ground, watching the scene with interest. Brando asked, "What do you want me to do with you, Miss Kouhua, Your Highness the Princess of the Dusk Clan?" โ
"You don't have to call me that," Kou Hua smiled slightly, and replied wisely, "Since you didn't kill this gentleman, then you won't kill me before he dies, right?" โ
Brando sighed, and was seen through again, not to mention that he was brainless, why could Kou Hua be an exception, was it because of the different physiology of the Wolf of Twilight and humans. He couldn't help but glance at the other party, the girl was lying quietly on the ice, just wearing a thin robe, but she didn't feel cold, her chest rose and fell slightly with her breathing, if you ignore her identity, this eldest daughter of Isis really looks like a goddess, at least her figure is flawless, even the loose black robe can't hide the graceful curves of her body, and even the real goddess will be jealous.
Brando looked at it, and suddenly recalled the previous feeling, his brain was hot, and he hurriedly pressed his nose, for fear of making a fool of himself.
Kou Hua smiled, looking girlish, as if he didn't care.
Since there was no way to solve any problems here, Brando had to find a way to figure out what this was first, and he only remembered the scene when he fell from the Spiral Hall. But no one knows what is below the abyss, and it seems that there are players in the game who have gone down, but there are glaciers crisscrossing it. In the heart of the Dead Frost Forest, such glaciers are everywhere, and no one has the leisure to visit them, large and small. And now it seems that he should be between these glaciers.
These crevasses in these glaciers, which have existed since ancient times, are large and small, and the large ones may stretch for miles, and the small ones are like the ice cavities where he is now.
"Can I borrow your magic?" Brando turned back and asked Kouhuadao.
Kou Hua nodded, and the ball of light quickly flew to his shoulder.
Brando groped along the ice wall for a while. This long, narrow ice cavity stretches for tens of meters and is made up of a dark blue ice surface, which sometimes refracts and reflects light, making the entire cave look strange. But Brando walked around, but couldn't find a way out, the entire ice cavity was completely sealed, and there was no way out even above his head. He confirmed it again and again, and finally gave up, and couldn't help but go back to his place with his head a little dejected. I wondered if this place was a closed space, so how did they get here? Or is it a landslide caused by the collapse of the Spiral Hall?
If it was the second possibility, then it would be a big problem, he clearly remembered that it was half a mountain wall, and who knew how thick that thing would be when it collapsed?
And it's hard to say how much air is in this ice chamber.
Kou Hua watched him return and asked in a soft voice, "Mr. Human." Are you trying to find your way there? โ
Brando looked up suddenly, looking at the eldest daughter of Isis. Asked, "Do you know what this place is?" โ
Kou Hua nodded: "This should be below the Hall of the Spiral, the Eternal Sleep of the Gods." โ
"God's Eternal Rest?" Brando chewed on the noun and suddenly reacted, "This is Surash's sleeping place?" โ
"Surash?"
"I mean the God who will wake up." Brando replied.
Kou Hua nodded again.
"So here," Brando snapped, he looked at Kouhua, "You seem to know very well?" โ
"I've always known it, Mr. Human." Kou Hua replied, "Actually, the god who will wake up is Milos. Although we fell into eternal sleep after that battle, it was just a statement, as if I could wake up, and so did Milos-sama. โ
"No," Brando was a little puzzled, "shouldn't Milos be on our side?" So what do you mean by going to great lengths to resurrect it? โ
"Ignorance." Enlek's voice interjected.
Brando glanced back at him. He understood that there must be something going on here, but he didn't expect the Duke to take the initiative to sue him, so he simply turned back to look at Kou Hua. Kou Hua smiled slyly, "The fact that gods are born on the earth again after the mortal era is indeed not good news for you. And the crux of the matter is that it is the other side of me who is now controlling Milos. โ
Brando frowned, he knew all this, but he always felt that the other party was hiding something: "There is a problem here, if I remember correctly, although Milos is only a god of the frost giant, he is at a level that is not inferior to your mother." And this is his home turf, and it shouldn't be possible for your other soul to occupy the magpie's nest, even if Milos has just woken up. Not to mention, Miss Kouhua, that's only half of your soul. โ
"Normally, that's true," Kouhua replied, "but Milos Milos's consciousness is not within his body. โ
"What!" Brando was taken aback: "Are you saying that the god of giants has only awakened in the body?" โ
Kou Hua nodded.
This is a big problem, doesn't it mean that this so-called Surash is actually very similar to the dark side of Kohua, but a resentful descendant of the twilight is in control of the corpse of a real god, this is not a joke, if Milos's body only has its own strength, it is fine, if it also comes with the functions and fields of the gods, it will not be fun. However, Brando feels that since this is the boss of the Hibernation Temple, the strength should not be too outrageous, of course, this can only be a good wish, after all, history has changed, not to mention that this is not in the game, who knows what will happen?
"I remember you calling the other side of you your sister?" Brando suddenly said with palpitations: "Your sister doesn't seem to have a very good personality. โ
Kou Hua glanced at him with some embarrassment: "Mr. Human......"
Brando, of course, understood why Kouhua was embarrassed, because around this time, he was the only one who was most familiar with the two sides of the same coin.
The kind-hearted Kohua is a pacifist through and through, and the forum says that her greatest wish is to be a gardener, of course, this strange statement does not come out of nowhere, but it also has some credibility. And Kou Hua's 'sister' is a real war maniac, and the dark side of Kou Hua itself is the reason why this boss exists, and he is bent on resurrecting the Dragon of Dusk, which coincides with An Lek.
However, Kou Hua on the dark side occasionally has a good mood, and maybe she doesn't seem so manic, for example, like the table she started in the hall just now. But this kind of thing is too illusory, Brando doesn't dare to gamble with this kind of thing, he looked at the sealed space, and now the first task is naturally to find a way out, and the only way is about to dig a way out. He could only pray that the ice above his head would not be too thick, or that he would be lucky enough to dig into a crevice in the ice, and since he didn't know how much air was in the ice cavity, he had to do it right away.
But this obviously cannot be done by him alone.
He glanced back at Enlek and Kohua and asked, "You don't want to die here together, do you?" โ
