Act XIX The Firmament I
The world called him the Silver Storm.
One of the twelve leaders of the wizards of Dlora, his fame spread on the earth before Eruin was established, and his legend was even older than the bard's ballads.
The kings of the mortal world trembled before him, and the four temples had to retreat in the face of this gray-haired old man, who was the pinnacle of the Silver Mountain, and even the dragon bowed down in front of his pride.
If there is such a person, his name must be William? Pister.
The image of the archmage is depicted in a folk engraving, dressed in a silver robe of the sky with wavy edges, holding a staff 'draka', the scepter of the runic word for 'ruler of the sky', and reading the twelve articles of Buga to the monks of the Sanctuary in the Lion's Heart Sanctuary today.
Macarlo and everyone froze, for the nobles of Eruin, like the Emperor of the Cruz, he was supreme, and he was a breathtaking man. But William? Pister, that's only in the storybook, the legendary zài.
In the Year of the Apocalypse (Chaos 1517), the Templar of Light threatened wizards not to participate in the Holy War, and although the Bugas were already isolationist, the threat from mortals provoked their anger. Three months later, during the Fire Moon War, the Bugas returned with three floating cities.
The folk engraving depicts the outcome of that battle, when a silver storm swept through the Templars' highest fighting power, the White Book Knights, who entered the Lion's Heart Palace alone and read the twelve Buga articles to the seventh pope, forcing Faenzan to confess his mistake.
The deterrent power of that war has remained in the hearts of all people for a long time and continues to this day.
"I didn't expect it to be you. Master William. Brando stood up and smiled wryly. It was as if he was the only one left to speak. He joked, "It's really unexpected, hasn't the Silver Candle Society been monitoring the movements in the wilderness south of Madara, I thought the wizards wouldn't be so idle." ”
William paused. Looked at him deeply. Then he smiled slightly: "Brando, it seems that you know the scene above the sky of Vaurd, you know very well; It is a shame that my pedantic men thought that mortals knew very little about them, so that they could maintain that ridiculous mystery. ”
The arrogance of the Buga wizards. Claiming to be the Overseer and Master of the Vaughnd Sky, William's runic staff symbolizes the Mystic Staff of the Silver Alliance, Draka, one of the Silver Alliance's supreme powers, and its fundamental meaning is the authority to rule the sky.
Mortals can't touch the sky, and naturally they won't offend these silver people. Dragons may have a lot of complaints about this, but this naturally lazy race may not come to the door for a title.
Moreover, the people of silver will not be afraid of them.
"You are indeed mysterious to mortals." Brando replied with a smile, "It's just that I happen to know a little bit about the wizarding world, and I've heard that the Silver Candle Society has built a fortress south of Eruin to keep a watch, and it's called Naoqi, right?" Are you going to do anything to Madara? ”
"You little one, you don't have to beat around the bush to trick me. The Silver People will not intervene in mortal warfare. We're watching something else, and those skeletons don't have to be hard for you. William wasn't really angry about Brando's temptation. Instead, he smiled and replied positively, "...... This time I'm here for the reason. It's just because you've unearthed something amazing. ”
Speaking of the Azure Spear, Brando also fell silent. Something terrible. The Holy Spear Firmament is indeed a piece of artifact used by the azure knight to shatter the firmament, and the folk and even the players have always thought that it is just a legend, but who would have thought that it really exists in the world.
But Brando knew better than anyone else present that the leader of the Wizards of Droora probably hadn't come here because he was interested in the Azure Spear itself.
Sure enough, William continued, "But I'm more concerned about why it appeared. Mercury rod...... Forget it, and the reactions you cause. Ancient artifacts appeared on the earth one by one, which has attracted the attention of many people. ”
Brando listened silently, for he knew that the future era of turmoil was coming, and that starting with the rise of Mardara, Vaulnd would fall into an era of long-term war.
The qiē he made in the Ring of the Trade Winds was a preparation for the coming war. Many people, including the princess's followers, complained about the compromise they had made to the king's eldest son, but Brando appreciated it.
Her Royal Highness, like him, seemed to have seen the war clouds rolling in at the edge of the sky.
If the eyes were only on the civil war in front of them, Eruin would be completely overturned in the ensuing storm. This is a lesson of history, and Brando certainly does not repeat it.
"Huh?" William seemed to see Brando's thoughts, and asked with some surprise, "Little one, do you know something?" ”
Brando glanced at William. This was his second meeting with the silver-robed archmage leader, and in his past impressions, the leader of the Wizards of Delora, the Silver Storm, was an image of an NPC with incomparable majesty, but in actual experience, William? Pister left the impression on him as a very kind elder.
Although he had never known each other before, this archmage leader was of great help to him. The last time he fought with Andessa, and this time he won the war of Ampesel, he also benefited from the help of the punic's cloak given by the other party.
Of course, Brando knew that William's affection for his former friends and Eruin was in it, but he had always been a reciprocating man, and he was not used to owing favors to others. In the future, the Buga people will also be involved in that protracted war, the Slate War is involved in too many forces, too large, even the people of silver have to suffer, thinking of this, he raised his head and reminded in words:
"The holy war is coming, and the earth will be in the dark clouds of war. At the same time, the wizards of Buga must have observed the coming great demon tide. Master William, the ebb and flow of magical tides have affected the ups and downs of the Vaynd continent for thousands of years, and this time will be no exception. Turbulent times must be preceded by their harbingers, and I think history is already sounding the alarm bell for the world. ”
When Brando spoke of mortal jihad, William was unimpressed. The mortals and the people of silver are two worlds. Except for the arrogant provocation of the Year of the Apocalypse. The Holy War between the Four Great Temples and the Earth Temple has never affected Buga. However, it wasn't until the former mentioned the Great Demon Tide that the mage leader's brows gradually furrowed.
"Brando, do you think Vaulnd will repeat the history of the Battle of the Sages?" He looked back. Asked seriously. Brando's title has also been upgraded from 'little one' to his real name, which means that at this moment, the mage leader sees Brando as an equal object of discussion for himself, at least in a sense.
Actually, the reason is very simple, about the approaching magic tide itself. The astrologers of Buga have only recently realized how extraordinary this magic tide is. And just like Brando said, the rise and fall of the magic tide has affected the historical changes of the continent for thousands of years, and any sudden monster attack has the potential to completely change the course of Vaughn's history.
Even William had to think carefully about this.
"It doesn't have to be a repeat of history, it can be a new danger." Brando thought for a moment, and described it somewhat euphemistically.
"Haha," William suddenly laughed, "You really say this like the witch of Bunosson," he suddenly saw Roman beside Brando, at first stunned, and then a little abrupt. "Little one, you've been studying astrology lately?"
What a hell of this, William's joke made Brando cry and laugh. The old wizard probably thought Brando was joking with him. But sometimes you have an ambiguous picture of what is going to happen in the future. It sounds like a prophecy from those witches and gods, but to put it bluntly. I'm probably going to be treated like a magic stick.
"The dark dragon has long since died, but the chaos on the frontier of civilization may be a trouble." William then continued.
Brando's heart moved when he heard this. It turned out that this was the concern of the wizards of Buga, and that the Flying Fortress built by the Silver Candle on the Sea of Eternal Gloomy to monitor the borders south of Eruin was meant for this purpose.
But unfortunately they are looking in the wrong direction.
Brando recounts the history after the two wars of the Black Roses, 1st.385 in the year of silver, the poem of the sky says that after three days and three nights, the eternal night comes, the law of Tiamat is completely changed in the midst of the demon tide, the slate of war comes to the surface, the wolf plague is rampant on the earth, and the era of war is completely coming.
However, he could not say any of these things, and could only hope that William would draw enough attention from his previous words.
This conversation can be said to confuse others, only Her Royal Highness the Princess and Antitina, who knew the inside story in advance, understood some of it. However, as for the prediction of the future of the mainland, it is really not something they can figure out, in fact, as far as Brando is concerned, this insight itself is already a bit extraordinary.
The nobles were concerned about the interests of their own lives, and even Princess Griffiin was only concerned with the rise and fall of the Eruin Kingdom; The survival of the continent and the vicissitudes of history do not seem to be something that mortals should care about.
Fortunately, William doesn't seem to have delved into this issue.
Macaro seemed to finally react, and he could barely tell from William's words that the famous archmage had come for something important. And he had never heard a word about this important thing from any party before today.
He looked at Her Royal Highness the princess with great dissatisfaction.
Princess Griffiin seemed to be prepared, and replied lightly: "Overwell, Makaro, let you come here today, I won't hide it from you." However, this matter is very important, and everything needs to be careful, please understand. ”
Hearing this answer, Macaro frowned slightly.
"Mortals, put away your grievances. She's right, for the miracle you're about to see, your selfishness is nothing more than dust floating on a gem. William suddenly glanced over to this side and reminded coldly.
His words immediately silenced everyone.
The majesty of the leader of the Silver Alliance mages was on full display at this moment.
Brando then ordered Babasha and his party to take everyone to teleport into the underground ruins, and they walked through the long corridor, and this time in the darkness the spider queen seemed to feel William's presence, like an animal instinct, and it allowed these uninvited guests to walk around its tunnels without appearing, which made Brando very depressed.
It's like you have to understand the annoyance of a player with a high-level NPC who wants to go to the boss with his hands, but the boss is cunning and hides.
The team did not move fast in the dark.
Since they weren't on the run like the last time, everyone was free to take a closer look at the scenery. The underground tunnels spread through a criss-cross of crevices, some man-made and some of them natural masterpieces, spreading in all directions, making the entire underground ruins itself look like a giant spider web.
In this respect, it is a perfect complement to the owner of the place.
Half an hour later, the crowd finally arrived at the prayer room for that day. The prayer room was still as it had been that day, immersed in darkness, and even the circle remained intact on the ground.
William? Pister only glanced at the circle, and then sighed softly: "This is the inheritance of witches, and they really have something to do with that thing." Rumor has it that the Miner brought it into the glacier, but in fact the history of witches predates the Miner. ”
Of all the people, only Brando and Tanya, the goblin behind the old mage, understood this, and the white cat's eyes in Roman's arms also flashed. The archmage is talking about the history before the fall of Babel Fortress, which is related to which bloodline the azure knight inherits.
The archmage put his hand on the teleportation array, frowned and took it back: "This magic circle is also a bloodline inheritance, and it can almost be regarded as the strongest precautionary measure. He looked back at Brando and asked, "But you should have prepared a countermeasure, right?" ”
"Of course," Brando turned back, "sugar pot." ”
