Act 190: Final Hour (6)

Fayna tugged at his sleeve suddenly, and Brando looked back, "Where do you want to go from there?" The aristocratic daughter asked, gesturing to the vine-clad street in the center of the ruins.

Brando nodded.

"You're crazy," Faina looked at him in disbelief, "Wait, are you going to use that cloak?" ”

The cloak will be used if it can be used, Brando couldn't help but think. But a certain Alzheimer's patient didn't even leave him to activate the spell, and the ghost knew how to use it.

He shook his head.

Faina looked at him puzzled, but the young man had already raised his hand and gestured for her to stay. Then he lowered his body, turned his head and crawled out.

This action startled Faina's eyes, and she saw Brando crawl to a stop less than ten feet away from the ruins, and she couldn't help but open her mouth but didn't dare to make a sound.

But Brando, of course, didn't go crazy, he knew exactly what was going to happen if he was so lurking. Although he has some experience in stealth, he also understands that he is far from being as good as those really high-end nightingales and rangers.

Even those people who are below level ten may not be able to guarantee that they will not be 100% undetected in front of the monster Andersa, especially in the forest, let alone him.

Brando has always been self-aware, he's just looking forward and observing. In the forest, he could not see a conclusion from afar, and he did not have the habit of wasting time, so he had to choose to take risks.

He hesitated under the bushes, his eyes beyond the heather branches to the dead ruins not far away, and the thought of how to get through here safely raced in his mind.

But it's a bit whimsical, Andesa is not stupid, she's here, at least it shows that there is a 100% chance that she can find him. Brando stared out at nothing, and couldn't help but have some unrelated thoughts running through his head.

He thought that if this was still a game, then there must be a way to accomplish the task in the game, right?

Thinking of this, Brando suddenly felt a flash of inspiration flash through his mind, and he remembered some things from the game in the past for a moment; I vaguely remember when Amber Sword was first put into beta, the game caused a stir because it was so different from the traditional game.

Because in the average game, most game design concepts are designed to test the player, but no matter how difficult a mission is designed, it still leaves a path for the player to complete.

In a simple game, the road is smooth. In the midst of a difficult game, the road is full of thorns.

But a road full of thorns is always at least one road.

Amber Sword, on the other hand, uses a completely different design concept, and the game pursues maximum realism. The designer once had this famous quote among players:

There is no road in the forest, and it is up to you to open it up with courage and wisdom.

As such, there is no 'inevitable mission' in Amber Sword, just like the Emerald Top joke - 'The design team actually designed a drop list for the Verdant Dragon, which they could have omitted altogether' - because the Verdant Dragon has been known as the world boss that can never be killed since the beginning of the game.

(Note: Because of the fact that it has the only top-level 'eternal' element in the entire Vaynd world, the Emerald Dragon is defined as having an infinite number of parallel universes at the same time, so it cannot be killed individually in any one place or at any time - this is almost equivalent to immortality, so in Amber Sword it is called the Immortal, that is, the boss that cannot be killed, so it makes no sense to be laughed at by the player as the drop list, because it will never be used)

But the idea of the Amber Sword is like this, and the designers gave what is called the real possibility xìng. Although players initially called this realism difficult, they eventually accepted the design idea.

'If Amber Sword wasn't the only virtual reality game in the world at the time, I'm afraid it would have been abandoned by players a long time ago, and players have always pursued the game xìng instead of logical xìng' Brando couldn't help but think about it.

It was in this way that he suddenly felt that he had grasped the train of thought.

If the original intention of the game is to provide a possibility that can be called real, it may seem like a problem for the player, but in fact it is to abandon the 'only or only way' of the games of the past.

If there is no so-called 'Raider', then open up a 'Raider' yourself, which is the jīng god of the so-called Amber Sword.

Brando took a deep breath, and he finally thought of a solution. If he can't complete the task perfectly, then abandoning the pawn to protect the car may not be an option, his gaze turned to the side, and then calmed down, and returned the same way with his heart.

But as soon as he exited the bushes, the first thing he saw was that Faina was looking at him with a pale face, as if he had done something heinous.

"I'm going to have a short life of at least ten years with you!" She glared at him.

"If you have a short life of ten years, I'm afraid you'll die later." Brando glanced at her and replied.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Do you see that ruin, we'll sneak through behind it with the help of its cover later, I took a closer look just now, and that is probably the biggest road in Xìng, and the others are basically dead ends."

Brando explained his judgment in quick succession, but Faina followed his gesture and opened her mouth:

"It looks good over there, but hillbilly you didn't notice that the last section wasn't covered at all, and it would definitely be discovered anyway!?" She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and objected: "I said, that NV is one of the twelve patriarchs of the shepherd, don't take her for a fool - her appearance here must mean that she is sure to catch us!" ”

"Of course I knew, and I noticed it." Brando shook her head and replied, "But I know, and she must know, that she will not take us for fools after the previous experience, and in that case, she will not pay too much attention to that direction." ”

"I understand the opposite," Faina frowned, "but what's the use of only diving through the first half, the second half is a flat square, and she'll find us even if she doesn't pay attention." ”

Brando didn't answer, he certainly knew that there weren't so many things that were perfect. But at least find a way to solve half of it first, and the rest will have to rely on your own desperate efforts.

At this time, it is impossible to think of not taking any risks at all, not to mention that he does not have much time to delay, although William helps, but it is still a question of how long the druids outside can last.

So he shook his head.

"Hey!" Faina almost made a sound in a hurry, and she grabbed Funya next to her: "Funia, please quickly persuade this big brother of yours, this madman wants to commit suicide, I don't want to accompany him!" ”

Funya looked at the two of them and shook her head, meaning she wasn't going to object—Brando's decision was hers.

The aristocratic daughter was speechless all of a sudden.

"You stay." Brando said that he had no reason to take the nobleman's daughter with him, especially since it looked like he was going to die.

But at this time, the princess from Huā Yeling hesitated, and for some reason she felt a little flustered. It stands to reason that she should agree, but she looked at Brando and Funia, and lost her temper for no reason.

"No, you have to take me!" She raised an eyebrow and said angrily.

Brando couldn't understand the train of thought of this big xiǎo sister for a while, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I said, don't you feel like a drag?" ”

"Whoever told you to forget to keep me at Mistress Veronica's earlier, hillbilly, you're responsible for bringing me here. Do you want to leave me and walk away, still a nobleman? ”

I'm not a nobleman in the first place, Brando almost couldn't help but shout. However, he looked at Faina's serious appearance, as if he would follow her himself as long as he didn't promise her, and couldn't help but have a little headache.

He looked at Funia again, and finally compromised - one is a belt anyway, and two is a belt, isn't it? What's more, Brando couldn't help but think a little maliciously that he was going to follow him to death, and even if something happened, he couldn't blame him.

So he sighed, reluctantly agreeing with Faina.

The aristocratic sister glared at her—she was also relieved at this time, as if she had finally gained the upper hand for the first time in the long struggle.

"Shall we go at once?" She asked.

Brando was tempted to say it was me, not us, but at the moment he could only nod his head. What's more, after convincing this big xiǎo sister, it was indeed time for him to start taking action.

But in fact, if he were the only one, he would have had no effort to get through the ruins of Guò - although the square behind it was still a big problem, of course.

But now that Fayna and Funia are brought in, the problem is much more complicated. He didn't dare to let Fayna and Funia follow him, but carried them back and forth twice.

It's a bit funny to say, but the truth is that Brando's stealth skills are much better than Faina acting alone, even if he is holding a person.

The first time he carried Funia through the ruins, he walked out of the jungle from the leafy side, and then burrowed into the half-stone house under the cover of a broken wall—and as he had judged before, this direction was facing away from Andelsa, and the NV didn't pay much attention to it, because in fact she only had to stare at the square over there, and she was sure that Brando's ability would be discovered.

Once Phonya had settled, he turned around and went back to pick up Faina. His movements were so swift that he barely made a sound as he walked through the bushes, and his skill almost stunned the aristocratic sister from Cruz.

She was also very knowledgeable, and knew very well that only the most brilliant scouts in the army could do such details, and the average nobleman would not actually learn such things, except for those with special status.

Let's say a spy of the royal family.

Faina had also fought with her father's spies before, but their level was like a huā shelf compared to Brando at the moment.

However, the aristocratic daughter didn't know that in fact, Brando herself didn't care about her stealth skills at all, and she couldn't imagine how terrible the stealth skills of those professional nightingales and rangers in the game were.

When the stealth skill reaches level 10 or above, it can even achieve visual deception, which means that you may not be able to detect it when he is standing in front of you.

And reaching level fifteen or above is mastering the legendary vision hiding skills, and disappearing in front of people, it is almost already an effect that can only be achieved by magic.

But magic can dispel, but stealth cannot.

The skill of eating a high-level nightingale is naturally not so simple.

But these are all off-topic, when Brando copied Faina up, the big xiǎo sister finally came to her senses, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed, if it weren't for Brando's alertness to cover her mouth.

Brando glared at her fiercely, reminding the big sister to pay attention to the occasion. Fayna blushed, and although it wasn't the first time Brando had picked her up sideways like this, the last time she had jumped down a bottomless cliff, and she was too frightened to think about it that much.

The second time was also to avoid the attack of the Sage Hydra, and it was basically the same fright.

Only this time, she was conscious—but Faina preferred to be less sober, at least not so shy, as if her face was about to burn.

By the time she recovered from her panic, Brando had placed her behind half of the wall.

By this point, Brando had moved Phonia and Fayna to the last section of the ruins, in front of which was the square, and the rest was as it had been said:

It's going to be desperate!

He woke up the nobleman's daughter and asked with a mouth, "You really don't stay?" Maybe I'll die later, huh? Brando planned to try to scare off the daughter one last time, but this time the answer was still no.

The NV man didn't know what was crazy, as if he had bitten him, and stared at him firmly and shook his head. It felt as if the Cruz people never abandoned their comrades, and it made Brando feel very strange for a while.

"Forget it," he sighed, "I'm pretty good." ”

Then he poked his head out to see how he was going to get through the square. But this time, his face changed suddenly, in fact, it was not just him, Faina who was with him almost screamed 'ah'.

Because he saw a figure in a red robe who happened to be on the other side of the square.

"Hell, I expected it—" Brando cursed in his heart, thinking that the other party would be at least a little negligent - even if it was not an oversight in the first place.

Unexpectedly, Andesa still didn't leak, and the accomplice was guarding the other side of the square, and they didn't even have a chance at all.

Brando stepped back, gritting his teeth, and couldn't think of anything for a while.

But at this time, Faina grabbed his hand: "This distance is already very short, why not try it with a cloak?" The duration should be sufficient! ”

Cloak? Brando was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that what Faina said should be the cloak given by William.

He was a little depressed for a while, and he wanted to be able to use it early, and if the cloak could really be concealed from the dragon king's perception as William said, then hiding it in front of Andesa was simply a piece of dish.

However,

There are not so many ifs.

He couldn't help but break away from Faina's hand, a little skeptical that this big sister was scared stupid because she was too scared, she should have known the reason - or William's Alzheimer's disease was still contagious?

Unexpectedly, Faina grabbed his hand again, and she asked, "Hey, don't you really think that thing can't start?" Have you forgotten what I do? ”

Brando was stunned: "What are you doing?" ”

"Noble big xiǎo sister?"

"Damn it," Faina glared at him through gritted teeth, "hillbilly, I'm a magic swordsman, and it's my old job to parse spells!" ”

"Huh?" Brando was really stunned this time: "Can you do it?" That thing is at least a strange thing in mythology, and the magic circle on it is very different from what we have now, if I'm not mistaken, this big xiǎo sister, you don't even seem to have a formal rank, right? ”

"That's because I'm a nobleman," Her Royal Highness the princess of Huā Ye's territory looked angry, "It's impossible for me to participate in the job evaluation of the Adventurers' Guild, and besides, as a nobleman, I can learn much more things than ordinary people." ”

Brando was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt as if this was really possible. He then stopped, and for the first time asked with some seriousness, "Really?" ”

"I don't know, I'm going to try." Faina didn't dare to talk too much, but when it came to her own business, she seemed much stricter, and she didn't look like she was putting on a show at every turn like before.

Brando nodded, and gave the cloak jiāo wrapped around his hand. Faina took the cloak and mō on it herself with her hands—it was a pure physical work, for the cloak was as large as William had said.

But after a few minutes or so, Faina suddenly screamed in surprise - the sound was so frightened that Brando almost jumped, and he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the ruins - but Andesa didn't even notice it.

He immediately turned his head and glared at Faina, if he wasn't convinced that it was impossible, he almost suspected that this big xiǎo sister was simply a standard internal response.

And this time, the aristocratic sister seemed to realize her mistake as well, and for the first time, she stuck out her tongue at him with an embarrassed god, but still said to Brando in chún with some joy:

"Hillbilly, I've learned the magic circle of this thing!"

"Have you studied?" Brando's surprise immediately turned to joy, he never dreamed of such a coincidence. If Fayna had ever learned this, it wouldn't have been too difficult to find its activation spell.

Martha was on top, and he immediately felt that luck didn't seem to be far away from him.
