(Hey, hey, hey!) ~~）

In the pitch-black hall, only a beam of white light shone down on the cold marble floor of iron casting, and the corpses of several black-robed people were scattered on the floor, and the piercing blood flowed from the sword wound on their necks, injected along the circular groove on the marble floor, and then formed a strange symbol, and the crimson blood flowed slowly, making this scene resemble the evil rituals that summoned demons in legends.

When the blood was completely fused, it squirmed as if it had suddenly become alive, and it flowed upstream, extending towards the center of the circle, merging into the graceful body of the creature above the circle. The next moment, the white wolf seemed to gradually wake up from a long sleep, and its body began to move, and then starting from the head, the snow-white fur rolled back, as if peeling off a fur coat, first revealing the head of a beautiful girl, dazzling long hair like ebony, and then the soft shoulders and snow-white skin like milk, and the delicate curve of the stunner appeared in front of everyone little by little as the fur fell off.

The girl's flawless keto body was finally presented to everyone, her eyes closed as if her soul was trapped in a permanent dream, and only the slight heaving of her chest proved that the eldest daughter of Isis had not really died. There was quite a commotion in the hall, and even some people were breathing a little heavier.

Kou Hua's eyelashes swayed slightly, like the stamens of a budding flower. Then the eyes opened, revealing a pair of silver eyes, and the mist in the eyes was hazy. She got up from the ground a little lazily and weakly, and the long hair that had been scattered on the ground was also retracted, like a black waterfall going upstream, and the girl raised her head and looked at the people in front of her with some confusion.

"Who are you?" The voice is cold and charming, but it is a little cold.

The faint Kou Hua. The eldest daughter of the legendary Isis, the ruler of the Pride Moon, and one of the twelve wolves running under dusk, a beast from before the Age of Chaos, she was rumored to have died in the Battle of Babbel Fortress, but at this moment. The famous name of history was no longer a symbol that made a child cry, and she returned to the land of Vajnd, resurrected from her eternal sleep.

An Rick took a breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stepped forward: "Lord Kohua, we are all followers of the truth. ”

"Oh," Kou Hua chuckled softly, "I see, you welcome me back." You want to reopen the dusk, right? ”

"Exactly."

"But I'm still very weak, so I can't help you."

"It's okay, my lord, we have time. Once you break free from the seal, under the influence of the Great Demon Tide, your power will slowly return to its heyday. ”

Kou Hua was a little embarrassed: "But I don't want to." ”

An Rick and the high-ranking members of the All Things Convergence Society around him were all stunned, and looked at her with some suspicion.

The girl lowered her eyelids slightly, as if she was a little afraid. "I don't want to be involved in the war anymore," he replied crisply, the queen mother promised me. That was the last time I ran before dusk. I gave my life for my mother, and now I should be free? She looked up and looked at the others with misty silver eyes, "Can I leave?" ”

There was a deathly silence in the hall.

……

'Fourth Seal: 'Fidesor's judgment is not necessarily accurate, but it is always our only reliable option from the day it is signed-' The Fourth Seal increases the bearer's bloodline stat by 5% of a stat. ’

When the frozen stone door is pushed open. A cold wind rushed in, making everyone can't help but shrink their necks. Brando's came back to his senses, the fourth mark was the skill he had acquired from the second seal of the Fool's talent, from the Wisdom Dragon Crystal, which was a bit of a chicken for him. Bloodline is the caster's primary attribute, but his profession is a warrior, and advanced Templars and future Frost Guards have nothing to do with magic.

He looked up, and there was a valley of ice and snow in his vision, the cold wind howling in the valley, and the snow blowing up made the visibility no more than five meters, this was the lower area of the White Gorge, and inside was a glacier from the Twilight War era created by the body of the falling Milos, the habitat of the frost-eating giant worm. However, Brando immediately felt a little strange, it stands to reason that as soon as the Twilight Twins die, the king of the frost-devouring giant worms, 'Frostfang', should appear nearby, which is the setting in the game, but it is not the same here.

Outside the valley, the north wind was bitter, but there was no sign of any living thing.

"Be careful." Brando tightened his cloak and had to warn everyone to be vigilant.

The exit of the Drifting Walk was halfway up the mountain, and the team slid down the steep ice wall to the bottom of the valley, but the imaginary monster did not appear, and the valley seemed to be empty, except for the snow-covered world and the whirring wind. Veronica, who had been warned in advance, looked at Brando, as if asking, which made him a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to justify, so he had to keep silent.

"Most of the things recorded in the literature have a certain age," Veronica took the initiative to explain to him, "The location of the monsters' nests is not static, and thousands of years are enough time for them to wander elsewhere." ”

"Yes, that's the case in the literature." Shiduo nodded, she was an expert in this area.

Brando nodded yes, but he knew that he didn't get any information from any literature, but Veronica's words gave him another possibility, contrary to their suspicions, the Frost Eater was not gone, but probably hadn't come here to nest yet. After all, this was before the game time quest began, and the Blackfire cultists hadn't yet begun to invade the temple, and in fact, very few people in Eruin knew about the ruins in this era.

In that case, the road would be much safer. That being said, Brando still had a vague sense of instability in his heart.

The lower level of the White Gap is not the first area to be discovered in the game, and the player is the first to defeat the Tower to enter the Hibernator Sanctuary through the main entrance, and follow the standard process to defeat the Black Fire Leader before exploring the paths within the Sanctuary. Then the Spiral Hall was discovered, and in turn they entered the glacier, eventually discovering the Wandering Walkway and the underground entrance to the Temple. There are some things within a dungeon that can be changed permanently, and the challenges may vary depending on the order in which you enter.

He was thinking about it when there was a commotion at the back of the group, and he turned back to find that it was the hunter girl Peya and her brother who had woken up.

"Brando." A voice came from my heart. Needless to say, this is naturally the voice of the elf lady St. Osor. Brando raised his eyebrows, and faintly felt that St. Ossol was not the only one in the spiritual world.

"Huh," Saint-Osor's voice was a little surprised, "you noticed?" It seems that you are much sharper than you were then, and the potential in your spiritual power and bloodline has been slowly discovered, and you have changed a lot compared to the stunned young man at the beginning. ”

Brando knew she was talking about the days she had only left Butch, and he had not been aware of the presence of another soul in his spiritual world until what had happened in the silver mines of Shavlund. It's too dull to say.

"And who are these two?" There should be two spiritual forces next to St. Osor, but even if he doesn't ask, he can vaguely guess the identity of the other party.

"It's Anquili and Aven, I don't need to introduce their identities to you."

Anquiri and Evan are both among the personal knights of St. Otor, the former was once known as the Dragon Queen and is the most famous female dragon knight in the history of the Fog Elves and possibly throughout history, and the latter is the commander of the Whispering Woodland Guard, unlike the impostor of Otares. This is a true connoisseur of the bow.

"Hello both, my name is Brando. He is currently the heir of Lord St. Osor. ”

"Hello, Mr. Brando."

"Hello." Two voices responded, the first was gentle and a man, while the second was a cold woman, and her answer was concise and to the point; The voices of the two were full of character. It's as if you can get a general idea of their character at the first glance.

Brando suddenly remembered that St. Osor had said that the Hunter siblings had her token on them, so that the elder sister and the younger brother each had one each. It's wondering, how many of the Queen's Rings have flowed into Eruin? It stands to reason that even if something like the Ring of the Wind is lost as a national treasure of St. Osor, it should flow to a strong country like Cruz and Faenzan. Because only the nobles in these countries have the financial resources and the resources to collect artifacts of this level.

"It's kind of weird."

"Strange?"

"How many Queen-Wind Rings have flowed into Eruin, and with this one in my hand, there are already three."

"You forgot Williams, and now it's in Nimesis's hands." Saint-Osall teased.

"That doesn't count." Brando shook his head.

The elven lady explained, "I asked Aven that the two ancestors of the siblings should be descendants of the Miner and the mountain people who were expelled from St. Osor. ”

Brando suddenly, this makes sense, the Miner people have a lot to do with the fog elves, or it is not necessary to steal the ring and escape, of course, this is difficult to investigate, after all, it was also a thousand years ago.

"So, she and her brother are your heirs?" He asked.

"Mr. Brando, they have such potential, but for now, the strength of the siblings is too weak. If it weren't for His Majesty here today, we wouldn't have woken up on our own initiative. It was Evan who answered, but Brando felt Angelie nod as well.

"Unless they're in danger?"

This time Evan didn't answer, only Angeli nodded again. Brando knew in his heart that Peya was lucky not to die in the glacier, and it seemed that it was the dragon queen's handiwork. But what about her brother Yaruta? Medisa and the others have examined it, and Yaruta is quite badly injured, and even if she is treated in time, her hope of surviving will not exceed 30%. But the miraculous thing is that the wound was left at least a week or two ago, and it seems that it has not received any treatment, it is naturally healed, is this also the credit of the heroic souls of these elven sages?

Of course, this is not impossible, after all, he experienced it once in Butch, when he broke through to a coma with the unyielding talent of indomitable, and he should have died, but Saint-Ossor saved his life after the wind.

But there is still a doubt.

"Why is Peya's brother under the glacier, isn't he with Enlek?"

"That's what I'm going to tell you, Brando," replied the elf lady, "I'm afraid no one can know what happened to him." ”

"What?"

"Aven's perception was cut off for a while. Until just now. ”

"What does it take to isolate Lord Aiwen's perception?" Brando asked keenly.

"It's not hard, that teacher of yours can do it."

"In other words, at least the power of the Extreme Realm is needed?" Brando's heart sudden, the entire Hibernation Templar shouldn't have such a powerful existence, "Does he know anything himself?" This time he was asking.

"I asked, but the kid didn't know. Or maybe he felt as if he had a dream, half-asleep and half-awake, he vaguely remembered a voice guiding him forward or something. Saint-Osor hesitated for a moment: "But he has mentioned the shadow of blue." ”

"Blue shadows?" Brando's eyes narrowed slightly: "Médisa told me the same thing." ”

"Huh?"

"Those Cruz people sued her, or they sued Freya." Brando muttered, looking up, the snow in the glacier in front of him, but the faint feeling hidden behind the fog was a thousand times clearer at this moment. He was almost certain that something was leading them here.

But it's not the King of the Frost Knights.

……

In the dark hall, you can hear a pin dropping.

Until Enlek broke the silence. He replied:

"I'm afraid not"

"Why?" Kou Hua looked at the people in front of him, and was a little puzzled: "Obviously, the queen mother has already promised me, why are you stopping me?" ”

Enlek's brow furrowed, he had never expected to encounter the current situation, the eldest daughter of Isis, the ruler of the Proud Moon, the first wolf to bring disaster and war, was here to bargain with him like a naïve little girl. Why did he start a war? Shouldn't that be her duty? If it weren't for the fact that there was no hint of hypocrisy in the other party's pure and immaculate silver eyes, he would almost have thought that this adult was joking with him.

But the plan has come to this point. Don't back down or give up.

Anlek exchanged glances with the believers of the One Formation around him, then turned back and replied, "For you are the daughter of Isis, and it is your duty, and the day of judgment is approaching, and you are the first wolf to awaken from the twilight." ”

"But I don't want to." Kou Hua replied timidly.

"I'm afraid I can't help your temperament. Lord Kohwa. Anlek sighed and replied gloomily.

The girl was frightened by him and took a step back, but a red web of light immediately flashed behind her, and she was caught off guard against it. It was some kind of magical forbidden, and she struggled a little in panic. found that she couldn't break free, the long-term seal made her strength drop by many notches, and in the past, she could collapse with just a breath of Cheng Dù's prohibition, but now there is no way to do it.

She turned her head and looked at the others with some fear: "What do you want to do?" ”

But by this time, Anlek had already taken out a black crystal ball from under his robe. "I didn't expect it to come in handy, to be honest, I don't want to owe the guys down there." Lord Duke shook his head and held up the crystal ball. When Kou Hua saw the thing, he immediately changed color. She stared at the nasty human in front of her with wide eyes and shouted in a panic, "That's my soul fragment, why is it in your hands!?" The girl's face was pale, and she almost trembled.

Enrik's face did not change, but replied respectfully, "Please forgive your offense, Lord Kouhua. ”

"Don't!"

……

Brando was talking to St. Ossol when something suddenly came to mind. He stopped talking, as if suddenly caught up in his own thoughts. The elven lady in his spirit world was keenly aware of this silence and asked, "What's the matter, Brando?" ”

"Nothing, just remembering one thing." Brando groaned for a moment before replying.

"What's the matter?"

"One of Isis's daughters is buried in this temple."

"Faint Kohua, eldest daughter of Isis, didn't you mention it?"

"Really?" Brando shook his head disappreciatively, but something else was on his mind. Kou Hua has a ' in the game' The title of the two-faced goddess, because the player and her battle will go through two phases repeatedly, in these two stages, Kou Hua's temperament will also repeatedly switch between the character of a simple and pure girl and the evil eldest daughter of Isis, to be honest, the kind Kou Hua still has a lot of fans among players, but this in itself is not surprising, most of the boss battles in Amber Sword are strange, and there is more than one boss with dual personalities, but the reason why he recalls this is because some people think that Kou Hua in the evil state is not her nature。

There is a saying among players who have experienced Kou Hua's battles that when Kou Hua is on the evil side, the whole person is actually manipulated.

But this argument has little merit, and Brando once thought it was nothing more than a self-deception of the fanatical lovers. It's just that he suddenly thought of the voice that had been leading everyone to the temple, the blue shadow, and he couldn't help but feel creepy. That thing had signed some kind of contract with Starr at some time, but even Starr himself couldn't say what kind of existence the other party was. Who is it and what is its purpose?

Brando can only think of the title of the Awakened God.

But what are the Awakened Gods, and why are they summoned here?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it might be a trap.

It's just a pity that there is no room to retreat now, otherwise as long as Anlek activates the star-shaped gem in his hand, everyone will be reduced to ashes along with this forest.

"What kind of bad luck is this?" Brando was a little speechless.
