Act 11 The Possession of the Mountains and the King of Sylman

"So you said yes?" Brando ignored Dark Coward's petty temperament, but instead saw the loosening of the other party's tone, and it seemed that the heart of calamity was an unexpected gain for her, and even the frustration and anger caused by the defeat in the Dead Frost Forest were no longer visible on her face. Dark Kou Hua hesitated again and again before he hesitated to speak, "I have a request. "Say." "You must promise to give me shelter during this time, and if anyone wants to harm me and my sister, whoever the other party is, you must do everything in your power to keep us safe, and, and I can choose to leave after I think I have the ability to protect myself on my own, and you cannot stop me, so that I can consider reluctantly acceding to your request." Brando looked at the dark Kouhua's blood-red eyes, noncommittal, and replied, "The last one needs to be changed slightly, and when you can defeat me, you can choose to leave." ”

Dark Kou Hua gritted his teeth and looked at him, and couldn't help but show the sharp canine teeth characteristic of the Dusk Wolf Clan, "When I can defeat you, I will definitely dismantle you bastard." She thought to herself, but she nodded and reluctantly agreed to Brando's conditions, the last one was actually that she was unreasonable and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Brando, but she didn't expect to be seen through by others at a glance, and she was embarrassed to be cheeky and entangled.

Only then did Brando push out the cuirass on the desk first, and asked calmly, "What is the origin of this cuirassy?" Dark Kohua's request for asylum was not unexpected, he could see that she had always had a sense of insecurity about her current situation, and although he promised Milos not to kill her, it did not mean that he would not hand her over. In the civilized world, there are also organizations such as the Four Great Temples that seek the power of order, and if the Temple of Flame finds out about her, he will ask him to hand her over. If there is no relationship of interest, he has no reason to compromise his interests because of a potential enemy. She would definitely think so, and Brando understood that Dark Kohwa, despite his hard mouth, actually cherished his own life.

And she is also very greedy for power and high power, for the good Kou Hua. He could only understand it, but it was too simple for Dark Kou Hua to grab the other party's little tail.

Dark Kou Hua looked at the breastplate with a hesitant face, and replied a little unhappily: "This breastplate is called Lonia's Rift, it is a heroic armor tailored for Lonia, the supreme king of the people of the dawn, it is only a part of it, this armor is called the sin of logic in our time, because it can distort the law, and the effect will be completely distorted when the normal law thread hits it." Thus losing the effect. ”

"Isn't that invincible?" Brando glanced at the breastplate in some surprise, the effect was at least the level of an artifact. "It's not that exaggerated, don't have to stare so wide, it will make people think that you are just a hillbilly," the dark Kou Hua replied in a disdainful tone, "It's just a twist, and it's still far from completely isolating the law." "Brando didn't wait for the dark Kouhua to finish speaking, and he checked the armor himself, and the original attribute of the armor was originally 'Breastplate (Ancient)'. But after being described by Dark Kouhua, it became:

Lonia's Gap (Breastplate), Defense 5. Strength +15, Constitution +75, Law Gate: Weakens Law Attack by one level.

This is really an ancient item, Brando understands when he looks at the strange attribute proportions, and this cuirass is not even called invincible in Kou Hua's mouth? He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, weakening the law attack power by one level. It means that the existence of the manifestation element and his effect on the line of the law of the upper time are equal to nothing, and the opponent of the element of civilization has the attack power of the line of the law in front of him as weak as the level of the peak of gold, and the only drawback of this cuirass is that its ability is basically useless against the opponent under the element of civilization, but this only drawback basically does not count compared to its advantages, because he has improved the defense against the line of law that is the most difficult to improve after the element is civilized. And that's just one of the accessories for this armor, and it's hard for Brando to imagine what the full set of Lonia's Rift looks like.

"The People of Twilight are the Twilight Species?"

"No," Kou Hua shook his head, "they are the people of gold. ”

"The People of Gold?" Brando suddenly realized that this armor might have been Coward's trophy at one time, and sure enough, she replied proudly, "This is indeed what I plucked from Lonia's corpse, and it is of little value, but it is just a memento, so I only kept the breastplate with his insignia." "Loser......" Brando understood how terrible Kou Hua was in ancient times, no wonder mortals were not in her eyes at all, and now that she has fallen into this field, it can be regarded as embarrassing for her.

"And what about this?" Brando removed his hand from his breastplate and placed it on the demonic longbow again. The classification of ancient items is very vague, and the Gap of Lonia has the strength of mythical items, which is actually similar to a sub-artifact in some senses, but it does not have the ability to instantly change the battle situation like a sub-artifact, and most of the secondary artifacts have extraordinary origins, which are by no means comparable to mythical items.

"The Bow of Retribution."

"What's the use?"

"Hmph, it has a nickname, it's called the Death Bow, which means one life for one life, this bow is made from the head of a fire demon lord in the lower layers of the Brimstone River, and it seems to me that it is just a very interesting toy."

Brando frowned, Kou Hua's description gave him a bad premonition, he retrieved the attributes of the bow, and after Kou Hua's simple description, the attributes of the bow really became visible:

Bow of Retribution, Attack Power 75-105, Reward: Burn a bow once at the cost of a soul.

There is no attribute bonus, and this attack power is ridiculously high, almost close to the Holy Spear Firmament, and he can understand that this is a complete demonic item when he looks at the attached skill. Brando has always been shy away from demonic items, but he still adds, "This bow requires the wielder to consume life to open the bow?" ”

"Of course not, otherwise who would use such a stupid thing? This bow consumes human life, and it can easily kill an elemental civilized being, according to your words, no different from pinching an ant to death. Kou Hua replied.

Brando was taken aback: how powerful this bow was? Although sacrificing a life in exchange for the opportunity to open the bow sounds evil, if it is likely that there is more than one enemy in a battle, he can kill those weak opponents first, and then exchange it for the opportunity to open the bow to deal with those Elemental Cultivated Cunzài, you must know that Elemental Civilized Cunzài is a noble and high-ranking figure in any region. This bow is a bit too outrageous.

But Dark Kou Hua seemed to guess what he was thinking when he saw his expression: "Don't dream, hillbilly, how can an ordinary soul drive it, and the soul that drives this bow must at least have the seed of law." ”

"Seeds of the law?"

"According to you, there must be at least elemental civilization."

"Holy." Brando immediately lost interest in the bow, and the demonic item was indeed the demonic item. It is full of the smell of chicken ribs. "And what about this thing?" He took out the heavy stone scepter again and asked, but he didn't expect the dark Kou Hua to glance at this thing, and his eyes flickered slightly: "This thing has some origins, I'll tell you about it later, I'll tell you the origin of the last cavalry sword first." ”

Brando was slightly stunned and nodded unhurriedly. She looked at the cavalry sword with a pod gauntlet—it was a one-handed sword, a bit like a command sword, and the whole sword was quite delicate, a bit like a ritual artifact. "This is the work of the Fire Elves. They forged this sword out of a melting pot, I love its shape, and it's my trophy. Still with some hatred, Dark Korhua replied, "It's called the Fire Realm." ”

When Brando heard this name, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Senior Sister had a similar weapon, called the Wind Realm, and that staff was also an ancient item, and he only remembered now that the staff was very similar to this cavalry sword. Similarly, there is a statue of the King of the Wind Elves at the head of the staff.

He subconsciously glanced at Nimesis and noticed that the female knight was also looking at the sword with some strange feeling. It apparently brought back memories for her, too. "Could it be that this sword and that staff are one and the same?" Brando took the sword:

Fire Realm, Attack 55-87, Bloodline/Strength +100, Fire Bloodline: The Fire Realm converts its increased stats into strength when in flames, and when the sword wielder comes into contact with the flames, it does not take damage, but instead converts damage into healing. When the swordwielder casts a spell described as fire-related. Cast Speed +3.

Such an extreme attribute, Brando first sighed, the extreme attribute of ancient items is really rare in contemporary magic items, and this sword is a typical magic sword, and the magic swordsman is like a fish in water when he uses it. But Brando still said the same thing, but unfortunately he didn't follow the path of a magic swordsman. He looked at Nimesis before lowering the sword before looking up for the final explanation from Dark Kohua.

Undoubtedly, the most valuable of the five pieces of equipment is the stone scepter.

Sure enough, Kou Hua glanced at the scepter, sighed, and said, "Actually, you should have heard the name of this scepter, it is the meaning of the mountain range." "The Mountains?" It was Nimesis who spoke, and the female knight frowned and asked, "Is it the holy relic of the goddess Gaia?" ”

"It's that thing!" After being reminded by Nimesis, Brando also remembered for a moment. To this day, on the southwestern frontier of the Cruz Empire, on the Great Plains bordering Eruin, the region known as the Benin Steppes is still the traditional sphere of influence of the Earth Temple. To the north, a steep mountain range covered in snow, the land of the mountain dwarves dividing the southern frontier of the empire from the Beninese steppes is home to the kingdom of the Tokunin Lionmen, who have historically been disgraced by their evasion of the Holy Covenant. The exclusion of Toquinine and the Earth Sanctuary from the victory in the War of the Sages fueled hatred between humans and the lionmen, and to this day, the Toquinine lionmen continue to violate the borders of humanity, as if only to reclaim their lost glory.

Before the fall of the fortress of Babel, legend has it that in the northern mountains of the Benin steppe, there was a temple belonging to the goddess of the earth, and three artifacts were housed in the temple. One is the sword of the earth, the other is the holy spear firmament, and the rest is the will of the mountains.

Of the three artifacts, the Sword of Earth was the sacred sword given to the giant hero Miguel, who was later defeated and died in Miguel, and the sword was also lost in the mortal world. The Harangea in Brando's hand is this thing, but this former holy sword was irreversibly damaged along with its owner in the war with Dusk, and so far only the power of a fantasy-level weapon remains, so it can be said that its symbolic significance to the Earth Temple is far greater than its actual utility.

And the origin of the Holy Spear Sky does not need to be repeated. It is a sacred relic given by Gaia to mortal heroes. As for the meaning of this last mountain range, it is the sacred object of the earth goddess herself, and in the legends of Zhuyuan, there is and only her sacrifice can pick it up, and the person who picks it up is naturally the next master of the earth temple in the legend. The divine elect of the goddess Gaia.

And Brando's men happen to have such a person.

Himerude's shepherdess, Hipamela.

The priest of Himilud believed in the eldest daughter of the earth goddess Gaia, the goddess of the tundra, Himilud, in fact, he was also the slave god of Gaia, the key is that the priest of the earth temple in this era believed in the giant Miguel, Miguel was the creator of the dwarves, belonging to the dwarf gods, and the real sacrifice of Gaia. It had disappeared long before the Battle of the Sages, and the priests of Himilud were the closest to this god line.

Brando's strong man suppressed the excitement in his heart, and picked up the scepter with some caution, the scepter was very heavy, and it was a little cold to the hand, among the three holy relics of Gaia, the sword of the earth. The spear of azure, the genus of mountains and rivers. They are all real artifacts, except for the damage of the Earth Sword, the other two are well preserved, so the scepter in his hand should also be a genuine artifact.

He held up the scepter, and a list of dark gold pages appeared in his field of vision:

The Meaning of the Mountains (Artifact). Attack 1-215, Strength +(1-400), Chosen One of the Lands and Mountains: The One who picks up the Scepter gains a warrior rank and combat experience equivalent to his Priest level, and he can incorporate blessing spells from the earth into his fighting style. The more blessings she receives, the higher the scepter's attack damage and stat bonuses.

Special: Only Gaia's preferred sacrifices can use this scepter-

Brando looked at this attribute and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. What kind of living attribute is this, attack power 1-215? The upper limit of the attack is almost twice that of the Azure Spear, you must know that the Azure Spear is already known as the most offensive weapon among the artifacts, and if you look at this lower limit attack, it is a little crying and laughing, could it be that this legendary scepter is actually a weapon to look at the face? And when he took another look at the attribute bonus, he couldn't help but be even more confused, the attack bonus can also float, how does this attribute bonus float?

He subconsciously looked at the additional skills behind him, and suddenly realized what was going on, but what this so-called blessing of the earth was, he still didn't quite understand, the description of the attributes of the whole weapon was not clear, and maybe he could only understand what was going on until Hipamela came to try.

He hesitated for a moment before putting down the artifact in his hand, for it was at this moment that a small ball of light flew in through the skylight at the top of the hall and came to Brando, and then put down a piece of letterhead. Brando was immediately stunned when he looked at the letterhead, which had the emblem of a gray wolf painted on it.

It's not because of confusion, it's because of an accident. He didn't expect the opportunity to come at this moment, and the days of waiting seemed to suddenly have paid off: "Calglis has finally arrived. He let out a sigh of relief, and looked up at the kind-hearted Kou Hua, who had obviously read what he wanted from his heart, and she smiled softly: "I have always heard that the Earl is preparing for a war, and it seems that the time has come, but unfortunately Kou Hua is really not interested in these things, so he has to take his leave first." ”

Brando looked a little embarrassed, divine power was sometimes an incredible thing to mortals, although he knew that Kou Hua would not use it for anything bad, but he still felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but explain: "It's not for war, it's just for peace." Brando replied, perhaps because he didn't want to make a bad impression. But unexpectedly, the girl shook her head: "I understand, Lord Earl, not all fights are meaningless, for selfish desires, for justice, war also has various purposes, and even has the attributes of evil and justice, I am not against war, I just don't like fighting." Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much. ”

After saying this, she bowed slightly to Brando before leaving, not like a demigod, but like a well-behaved aristocratic girl.

The dark Kou Hua didn't seem to hear her sister's conversation with Brando, she stood there motionless, waiting until her sister left, then shook her head and said, "It's naïve. ”

Brando didn't expect that this guy would be merciless to his twin sister, and couldn't help but glance at this guy, but what he didn't expect was that Senior Sister Nimesis on the side who came into view seemed to agree a little, but then he realized that the kind-hearted Kou Hua's so-called stay away from the fight was indeed too naïve. It's not a bad thing to hate war, but sometimes strife isn't something you can avoid if you want to, and to avoid war is just to enjoy the shelter that others offer you.

But one day, all those who are willing to fight for you will leave you, and you will eventually be avoided. When Enrik forced her to intervene in that dispute, it was the dark Kohua who stood out for his sister, but what if the dark Kohua was gone?

Brando shook his head, and then said to the small ball of light, "Excuse me, go and help me get Monica." ”

The light nodded happily at him in midair, and flew out of the hall in the blink of an eye.

Brando opened the letter, and it was the familiar name.

'I have never dared to be ungrateful, and I look forward to your visit.

- Kewen'

He raised his head, as if he had looked through the stained glass arch window of the hall, and saw under the clear blue sky, at the other end of the clouds, where were the mountains of Yu Song. The curtain of the Autumn War finally began.
