Act Ninety-Eight: The Two-Headed Dragon? (Above)
Ice and snow are like the tip of a knife, flickering coldly, freezing to the bone Demon Chief, don't mess around. The trees on both sides of the glacier are shaped like ice crystals, and the cold wind passes through the woodland, with the sound of a small breath undulating. Freya clasped her hands and stared at the white glacier below, scattered with sparse black spots, a procession of about hundreds of people struggling to move forward, the scene looming in her vision, obscured by the rolling wind and snow from time to time, the future Valkyrie frowned, her eyebrows were full of snowflakes, and she was draped in a thick cloak that almost completely concealed the fur-covered armor underneath, looking like a hunter hidden in the mountains and forests.
The field of view stretched outward, and hundreds of soldiers dressed in the same silver cloaks were hidden in the bushes, motionless, almost the same color as the snowdrifts from a distance. Nimesis looked at the time, and the watch was almost rattling from the cold, but the hands were the same, and she handed it to Freya. "Is that them?" "That's them." Freya nodded in affirmation, seeing that those people were almost identical to what Brando had told him, and that there should be no third force in this place.
"Luckily, it was guessed by their half-tone lord." Not far behind Freya, several Cruz nobles crouched together, whispering and discussing. Beneath the white cloak was a pale, overindulgent blond young man, no more than twenty-one or two years old, but the insignia on his collar proved that he was already a formal chief knight, and he said this with a look of disapproval and amusement, which caused a low laugh. The other laughed, "But Lord Veronica actually listened to that guy's slander." It was unbelievable to have that little girl in full control. ”
Others shrugged their shoulders in response. "Look, she doesn't know how to command at all, how can we charge at this distance, this is glacial terrain, not hills or plains." The blond young man shook his head.
"Browder, I heard that they are non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Knight Academy of King Eruin."
"I see." Browder raised an eyebrow. This distance is the same as the distance specified in the discipline, but the Eruin soldiers must not have had the experience of fighting on the snowy fields, and the tactics should be adapted to local conditions. In his opinion, this woman is rigid dogmatism.
"Let's wait and see the show." He glanced over there, they were good soldiers. It wasn't to act disobediently, but he decided that the other party would definitely fail, and he couldn't help but glance in that direction with some disapproval. "Let's all be ready, they may find us first, but we are just some private soldiers of the Eruin nobles, chickens and dogs. The earth bun lord judged that there was some truth, and it was likely that the following was just a cannon fodder team, and we shouldn't be in any trouble. ”
"He's probably trying to train his commander, and he's just making us unlucky." Behind Browder, a tall man. But the female knight, whose cheeks were a little too thin, judged.
"He's also made us disguise the dragon's momentum, woo-woo-" one of the men teased, putting his hands to his cheeks to imitate the dragon's roar, "Hahaha......"
The low laugh finally caught Freya's attention. She took a light breath and glanced back with some dissatisfaction, but looked back with a frown. "Leave them alone." Nimesis glanced at her and reminded. "I know." Freya nodded, this was the first battle she had ever commanded, and she would not take it lightly. She looked up. The light brown eyes reflected the traces of those noble private soldiers through the wind and snow, and I couldn't help but think of the question that Brando had asked him.
……
"Please stop laughing, Legionnaire." Shiduo looked very embarrassed with a red face in the wind and snow. "I'm sorry, Shido, but you really shouldn't think of the Eruins as savages...... Hehe, hehe......" Veronica squinted, but couldn't help but show an arc at the corner of her mouth. She saw that the senior girl turned around a little embarrassed, and then explained: "Their ancestor Eke is also a nobleman of our Cruz, in fact, the Eruin and the Cruz have always been of the same origin, but they also have their own culture. You're following those guys in the Imperial Capital,...... What has been learned is really biased. ”
"So only when you go out the door can you see the real world." Shiduo held the book, stood in the pure snowflakes, and glanced in the direction where Brando was: "Lord Earl, will he be angry?" ”
"No, he's not that stingy. Let's go over and take a look, and the thing in front of it is estimated that only he will recognize it. Veronica replied, pressing the fur around her neck, grasping the hilt of her sword in one hand, and creaking over.
"You don't even know you, Legionnaire?" Shiduo was a little surprised.
"Don't be curious, that little guy is a strange man, he said he learned these things from the files of the wizard of the Black Tower, hmph, I talked to William, and it seems that there is some knowledge that even he does not understand. There must be some secret in this little guy. Veronica replied.
Miss Scholar was slightly stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but look in that direction curiously.
Brando creaked across a thick glacier, and when he looked up, he saw something in the distance that seemed to stand at the corner of the sky—something that naturally attracted the eye, as if it were the corner of a huge structure, black as ink, and slanted into the glacier, revealing only a tiny part. The whole corner exudes a metallic luster, and the surface of the metal is covered with strips of pale blue veins, glittering, and the regular geometric shape hangs down from the top of the corner, densely covering the entire "body" of "this thing"; from a distance, it looks more like a temple sunken into the ground, but when you get closer, Brando feels very familiar, a bit like a Hazel creation, full of construction and industrial style.
He looked up, almost imagining the thing flying over the place. It fell from mid-air, slammed into the ground, and the instant burst of energy tore through the earth, leaving deep marks on the ground, and then 'it' slid into the distance until it lost all kinetic energy, and then slowly stopped, followed by a thousand years of ice, until it was rediscovered by them today. He walked slowly through the ravine-like valleys that had been formed by the impact thousands of years ago, where Milos, the father of the Frost Giants, was buried, and as evidenced by the ice and snow.
He's a little distracted-
"Mr. Brando?" Until a voice sounded behind him, he turned his head and saw Shiduo with a serious face: "Do you know what this is?" ”
She looked up at the great creature with some amazement.
"You mean that thing?" Brando's mind wandered, he glanced at the black square pillars in the distance that seemed to be plunging into the clouds, but his mind was not really on it. It's not a big thing, you can see it in many places in the glacier, it's like a background to the player, and it doesn't mean anything. But it was indeed imposing, and Brando looked up at the black spire, "That's Milos' body." ”
"What!?"
Shiduo froze, and she stopped: "That's the body of a god?" Inevitably, Miss Scholar looked at her with suspicion—she was well aware of her beauty, and some people often disguised themselves as knowledgeable in order to get close to her, and she knew from her time at the academy that many of the legends she had heard were fabricated. She now felt that the same was true of the Earl, because she felt that the other party could not look like a scholar, and even if he was a scholar, he might not dare to say such a thing.
She looked at the huge ruins, and she couldn't accept such an explanation in her heart.
"You think I'm lying?" Brando looked back at her, amused—at least the young scholar had always been interesting to him.
"No......" Shiduo hurriedly shook his head, "But as a scholar, you will definitely be responsible for your words, have you really confirmed your words, Lord Lord?" ”
Isn't that a suspicion, Brando thought to himself, "and that's not really my words, in the battle recorded in the witch's Black Prophecy, 'Milos disintegrated in mid-air, and the wreckage was scattered across the land, most of them fell into this glacier, but one still fell into the Sea of the Dead Moon. 'You must have heard of the Bugas who built a city on it called Ones? ”
"The remnants of the Sea of the Dead Moon are...... It's ......" Shiduo stared at the black 'building' in the sky.
"Pretty much, and in fact both the Buga and the Wizard of the Black Tower have confirmed this. Now that we see these things, they are the wreckage of Milos, and in the future, you may have the opportunity to enter the White Tower to study the files of the Silver Wizards, and you will have access to this precious knowledge, Miss Shiduo. When Brando said this himself, he also glanced at the black tower in the sky. Thank you—" Shiduo replied softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted your words." ”
"No need to apologize, scholars have heard the saying 'doubt is the gateway to truth,' right?"
"Ah, you know, Mr. Brando, are you really a scholar?" Shiduo asked in surprise as she held the book.
"Ahem...... I've only read the literature on this subject, but I'm not a scholar. ”
"That's a pity."
But Brando was a little absent-minded at this moment, thinking of the actions on the other side. He heard creaking footsteps coming from behind him, and he knew it was Veronica.
"Well, are you confident, little one?" She had obviously heard Brando's conversation with Shiduo, but right now, like Brando, her attention could not have been focused on the legends and myths.
Brando didn't look back, just nodded: "Don't worry." ”
"Why are you so sure that Enlek will really act according to this plan?" Veronica frowned, but she didn't distrust Brando, and if she didn't, she wouldn't agree to Brando's plan.
"It's simple." Brando replied.
He looked back.
