Each of the twelve witches stood under a hazelnut tree and began to chant an old song, when seven stone pillars suddenly broke through the ground in the meadow of the forest, and a huge holy white rock rose from the earth in the middle of the stone pillars, and there was a crack in the rock, and the black hole seemed like a gate to hell......

The stone door and pillar were easily recognizable as having been carved out of natural rock, and there were some crooked words on them, eroded and blurred, and Brando could barely make out that it was supposed to be an ancient dwarven script.

"My lord, this door will only last for half an hour, please decide who you want to bring with you." As soon as the white rock appeared, Babasha said in a hoarse voice.

Brando had already decided in his heart that he would be a good candidate, "Babasha, you pick five reliable subordinates to go in first with me." Count Outin, you lead the knights into the ensuing quarters, and the rest, protect Your Highness the Princess, and I want you to swear to the Pillars of Purgatory. ”

"Rest assured, Mr. Brando." Count Outin gave a knightly salute and replied. His relationship with Brando seemed to have naturally become a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but the Count was not narrow-minded, and understood that Brando was far more qualified to give orders here than he was, so he did not feel anything wrong.

The witches did as they were said and done, and Count Outin sighed again, although the witches occasionally made some deals with worldly power, they would never be so respectful. He didn't really believe the old witch's claim that Brando had helped them, but he did suspect that Brando's story was another story: he already knew that Brando was a descendant of the Sword Saint Darus. Knowing that Brando had studied wizarding under a very powerful 'reclusive wizard', Count Outin was very suspicious of Tulaman, so he subconsciously attributed the witches' relationship with Brando to the fact that they might have benefited from the lord of Castle Mithril.

"Mr. Brando—" The half-elf girl had just finished speaking when she was interrupted by Brando, "Your Highness Princess, please stay here and let me feel at ease." Because whether it's you or me, Eruin always needs someone to know how it should go in the future. I may be a little arrogant when I say that, but I don't want my efforts to be in vain. ”

Princess Griffiin looked at him carefully. "Then I order you to come back, can you do it?"

Brando didn't answer. How do you tell him to answer? He didn't know the bottom of his heart. Perhaps Jogandegang was a group of brainless cavemen who had no idea that there would be a secret passage into the hills north of Ampesel. So they poured out of the nest, or left only one reserve. Let him easily dismantle the Gate of Flames.

Of course, he also hoped so. But he knew in his heart that it was more likely to be the opposite, the demons were heavily guarding the portal, and they had only one chance of success. He didn't know what he was up against, and even when Buchi was out of the encirclement, he didn't have such a bottom in his heart.

History had completely changed, and for the first time he could not see the inevitable results behind the fog. But he was surprisingly free of fear, his mind was clear, and he knew exactly what he was going to do......

"Then that's it," Brando smiled. "If I'm unlucky enough to die, I'll have Count Outin bring my body back."

The joke was not very clever, and Her Royal Highness the princess frowned and looked at him and said only two words: "Alive." ”

“…… I'll do my best, no one will want to die, Your Highness Princess. ”

Princess Griffiin just looked at him quietly. This made Brando feel very strange. He thought that this ambiguous "answer" would be reprimanded, but no matter what, he had already made a decision.

Babasha had already chosen a candidate, and she brought the five witches to meet him. One of the five witches is said to be Babasha's niece, a middle-aged woman in her sixties who is thin and thin, and the other three are also close to Babasha. The last one surprised Brando slightly. It was a little girl holding a jar of honey, less than half his height, with some faint freckles on the tip of her nose, and a pair of amber eyes looking at him curiously.

Brando asked her what her name was, and the little girl replied crisply, "Sugar Pot." ”

Good name. Brando couldn't help but glance at the honey jar she was holding, and thought to herself that this little girl must be very fond of candy, but she didn't know if the witch would have tooth decay, maybe not.

After bidding farewell to the princess, he led the witches into the cave, followed by twelve knights. In the crevice of the rock is a small space, about three people can sit side by side, and the traces of artificially carved steps can be clearly felt on the ground. At this time, someone in the back lit a torch with flint, and the smell of pine nut oil immediately filled the cave, but everyone also saw the surrounding environment clearly.

The rocks on both sides were like knives, and a staircase carved out of the rocks in the middle led straight to the ground, which was not much different from what Brando remembered, but the dust was very thick, and he scratched a mark on the wall with his finger, and Brando thought that the first player who found this place must have felt the same way.

But then there was a sudden exclamation from behind. Brando hurriedly turned around, and then he saw a familiar slender figure walking in from the outside, the crack in the rock closing behind her, naturally blending into the surrounding rock walls, leaving no trace.

That's Princess Griffyin.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, you ......" Brando was so hung in front of him. He finally understood what the princess's last quiet glance meant, and it was to tell him to let his guard down, but tragically, he fell headlong into the trap.

"Mr. Brando, you're not smart."

"Well, I'll admit I'm stupid...... But I will order Babasha to take you out of another secret passage, Your Highness Princess, you will not trouble me. Brando replied angrily.

"Unless you kill me," replied Princess Griffiin coldly, "no one can take me away, and you may try, Mr. Brando." I dare to practice my every word with my actions. ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... You don't ...... that," Brando was tempted to say stubborn. But he suddenly remembered that in history, Her Royal Highness was known for her stubbornness, and she might really do what she said.

He was suddenly two heads old, and he suddenly missed Antitina who was obedient to him, or at least Akane and Medisa were much more worried than the princess.

"Mr. Brando, I said you weren't smart, not because I lied to you" Her Royal Highness saw the hesitation on his face. The tone softened a little: "Have you ever thought that if you fail, there will still be Eruin?" The devil will ruin this qiē, haven't you already sued me? I'm going to be with you. Watch your hands save this ancient kingdom. ”

"If you fail," Her Royal Highness looked at him quietly, "I will die with you for this kingdom." I will at least bury our ideals under the dust with my own hands. I'm going to die by my knight's side. ”

Brando felt his heart skip a beat.

He didn't know if the princess meant to say this, he saw the half-elf girl's extremely serious eyes, and suddenly felt that he was being seen through by the other party.

But I have to admit that he really didn't think of this. If he fails, Eruin will be wiped out by the demons, and after losing him and Valhalla, it is still unknown whether the Eruin will be able to rebuild a kingdom from the ruins, and whether the rebuilt kingdom will carry the same beliefs.

Even whether the Eruin will survive the calamity is a question. After losing those familiar names on the land. Is this kingdom still the Eruin he was familiar with?

I'm afraid it may not be.

Her Royal Highness saw it far better than he did, and perhaps that was the difference between him and her. After all, she was a native of this kingdom, and no matter how much he knew about the history of this ancient kingdom, he only carried half of Brando's feelings.

He sighed, "Your Highness the Princess. You and I will be with you, and since you have acknowledged that I am your knight, then I will take responsibility for your protection, and you must not be so obsessed with doing so in the future. He said half-grumbling and half-admonishing.

Princess Griffyne's eyes softened slightly.

"Babasha, you lead the way." Brando said angrily.

"Yes, my lord." Babasha glanced at the princess. Smiled mysteriously, picked up the torch and walked forward.

The light of the torches stretched down the downward corridor, and the air quickly broke away from the moist breath outside and became dry. Occasionally, a spark or two erupted from the pine torches and landed on Babasha's witch's hat, and there was hardly any other sound to be heard in the silence of the earth.

Except, of course, for the rustling footsteps of a group.

Brando felt that Her Royal Highness the princess beside her was a little nervous, and it was not surprising that although she was born with various aristocratic educations, she must remain calm and calm at all times; But after all, she is still a noble girl born in the royal family, and she is afraid that she has never had the experience of exploring in the wilderness in her life, let alone exploring deep into the underground of the ancient castle, and anyone will inevitably have some strange hallucinations in their minds, and the princess will not be an exception.

"Mr. Brando, who are these tunnels built for?" Seeing this mysterious tunnel under Ampesel with her own eyes, Princess Griffiin was intrigued. As if to get rid of that faint uneasiness, she asked in a low voice.

"It's supposed to be a dwarf, but I don't know which one." Brando replied casually.

"It's supposed to be a rune dwarf, lord." The old witch Babasha replied in front.

I see, Brando didn't expect this to be another rune dwarf ruin. However, there is almost no detail in Amber Sword about the background of this tunnel, and it seems that the key to the core is still in the secret passage that players have not discovered.

After a brief conversation, there was a quick silence all around. The corridor began to become narrower, allowing only two people to walk side by side. Brando and Her Royal Highness had to get closer. The knights also noticed that the staircase beneath the ground began to seep water, and the traces of the carving had become very blurred from here, and the surrounding stone walls had been washed back to their original state by the groundwater seeping from above.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the artificial corridor disappeared completely, and a cliff appeared in front of it, and a crack inserted at an angle cut off the corridor, and when the torch was raised, you could see a natural stone wall as smooth as a mirror in front of it.

Brando motioned for Babasha to extinguish the torch, and then he pulled out a lighting crystal. This crystal is basically one of the kind of bargains that can be found everywhere, and the light emitted is very dim.

It's not that Brando doesn't have a better choice, it's that it's deliberate. He hadn't forgotten that under this cliff was the spider mother's nest, and if she used a heat light source, she would be throwing herself into a net.

After changing the light source, Brando blessed everyone with the spell of Wind Wings. His Wind Wings, an elemental in his early 20s, weren't enough to fly, but it was enough to use it as a slow fall technique, and the group slowly descended from the cliff for a few minutes to descend to the bottom.

Beneath the cliffs was a completely different landscape, and the knights soon discovered that there was an underground river below. The pebble beaches on both sides of the river bank are covered with layers of white spider webs, and countless spider eggs are clearly visible under the webs, and even a spider the size of a fist can be seen crawling between the cobwebs.

Brando subconsciously glanced up, and saw that the sloping cliff was full of dense black balls of flesh-like spiders, stacked on top of each other, and his scalp suddenly exploded. He couldn't help but secretly scream for the rest of his life, which was really exactly the same as when he was in the game.

When they came here to venture out, he just subconsciously glanced at the top of his head, and as a result, he screamed in fright. At that time, the spider mother was lured out, and the result was that the group was wiped out. This matter was repaired by his senior sister once, and now he still blushes when he thinks about it.

But it's a little disgusting, with a wall of floating worms above your head, it feels like it's going to fall on your head at any moment. Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still creepy.

"Listen, everyone, don't look overhead." Retracting his gaze, he immediately admonished.

The knights did as they were told, but Princess Griffiin was astute enough to seem to have guessed what might be above her head. Brando felt her face a little pale, and touched his hand a few times, but immediately put it back.

He didn't expect the princess to be so afraid of spiders, and he knew that maybe he should let her look overhead, maybe Princess Griffiin would be so frightened that she hugged him. Brando inevitably thought so wickedly, and of course, it was just a thought.

"Mr. Brando, there must be some origin for these spiders." Princess Griffiin asked with a pale face. She knew that it was impossible for so many spiders to gather together inexplicably, and the only possibility was that there was a monster's lair here.

Brando nodded: "It is said that the owner of this place is the mother of spiders called 'Annalons', that monster has the terrifying strength of the element of civilization and even the side of truth as early as one or two hundred years ago, and it is said that its element is 'web' has the meaning of both bondage and connection, and it can control every silk thread here-"

"By the way, don't touch those nets, not a single one." Brando reminded. He's not here to farm copies, so it's better not to provoke the terrible mother spider.

Hearing him say this, everyone is in the same air. But it was at this time that Brando heard the sound of rustling in one direction.

It didn't sound like a spider's voice.

"Huh?" He was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head in that direction. ()
