Beneath the rolling hills of East Mez, under the low clouds and mist, there are countless intricate and dark ruins of caves buried deep underground, and many creatures and dead people haunt in the middle of the night. Their old legends, ballads and stories have been passed down from generation to generation in the folk of Metz, and the old people occasionally talk about these creepy things

However, the legend is that the husband uses it to teach his wife, and the mother uses it to deter her son, and the terror in the night and the whispers in the forest are scattered with the wind of summer and autumn, lingering for a hundred years.

This dark force is in the hands of only a few of the most powerful dark lords, the Cunzài, known as the 'Grand Duke'. Metz has had three 'Grand Dukes' in history, the first being Baron Snowway of Ovesin, who mastered the world of darkness for thirty years before his life and thirty years after his death, and was once canonized as a saint, and at the same time

A profound necromancer whose name was not dug up from his grave until sixty years after his actual death, his bones burned to the ground, his authority sealed in a crown by the Temple, stored beneath the prison of Thorn Isle, and then stolen in the turbulent times, and then completely lost; The second is the famous Ludwig Witch,

She spread her followers in the forests of Silver Valley, attracting dark-minded wizards, robbers, and mercenaries to join her cult, and in those days, it was known to passers-by that Ludwig's day belonged to Lord Duke, and at night belonged to the Lord of Witches, and even the name of the whispering of the breeze through the woods, the travelers were silent, merchants

And the knight did not even dare to approach the forest in the dark. The witch died at the hands of Paladin Luther, and her heart was nailed to the Perkin Chapel of Sweet Harbor by a wooden thorn, where the flames burned all year round, and it is said that a terrible scream can still be heard from it, and the perennial wind near the sanctuary causes pedestrians to bypass. And the statue of the paladin Luther

To this day, it still exists in the three ports of East Mez, and in the Golden Square of the Port of Fatan, travelers can still see the dignity of this heroic knight; The third is the lord of Barya, the Duke of Golden Flame, whose power in the mortal world is equal to that of his position in the dark world, and his life is extremely extravagant and depraved. Selfish and narrow-minded, extremely greedy for beauty, cursed by passers-by as a demon duke, he

The favored vassal Victor is actually the shepherd of the blood lord Roclery, who has repeatedly provoked the majesty of the Flame Sanctuary in public and preached heresy before finally dying at the stake. And his

Authority. Stored in the underground vault of the Great Sanctuary of Ovehin, it was sealed by four saints, and a knight of the Flame swore his life to care for it.

"The so-called authority is actually the power of the Dark Orb." The underworld was silent, the beams of light hanging overhead seemed to be the only source of light in the darkness, flickering flickering flickers of light dancing in the darkness, and a layer of floating mist was filled. Bai's voice echoed through the empty hall, and from time to time a layer of sand fell overhead. But no one cares:

"An explorer found this treasure in a cave labyrinth beneath the young deer woodland and brought it out. The artifact then fell into the hands of a merchant named Rodrian, who later murdered a high-ranking wizard of the Order of All Things, and the Dark Orb was acquired by the wizard, who used the power of the Book of Mavikart, an ancient evil spirit

Measure extracted power from the Orb of Darkness and made a bone scepter, a ring, and a crown. These three treasures all possess the power to command the undead, and are the treasures of the undead world, and they were later obtained by the aforementioned three people, among which the white bone crown has long been lost and the amethyst ring was destroyed by the paladin Luther. Only remained

The Scepter of Bones is sealed beneath the Vault of Ovekhin. ”

It turned out to be a dark orb, and Brando suddenly realized that like the Ice Orb, the Dark Orb is a holy relic of the dark element, and it is the source of a qiē negative magic, so it can command the undead formed by the negative magic. However, the high-ranking wizard of the All Things One Society was able to use the power of the Book of Mavikart, an ancient evil thing, to move from darkness

The power extracted from the orb is obviously not an ordinary person, it is likely to be some famous figure in the history of this organization.

"That's what you're here for?"

"To be exact, I came for the Bone Scepter, I killed the Flame Knight, and the Bone Scepter is now in the hands of the Duke of Ambunar."

"Captain of the White Legion?"

Shiro nodded.

Brando suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Amman's transformation into an undead spirit has something to do with you?" He asked, "Amman has access to the Book of the Ancient Evil Thing, Mavikalt, it should be a genuine high-level of the Society of All Things, but the high-level of the Society of All Things will never accept an undead, he should have become after that."

Undead. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Bai deeply: "You shepherds can actually penetrate all things into one?" ”

It's hard not to be surprised that an organization with such a strong penetration is naturally inferior to its anti-osmosis ability, and it may even be stronger.

"Infiltration? Not to say," replied Byaw, very self-awarely, "it is only my personal act to bewitch Amman, and I can persuade him to join us because he wants to pursue eternal immortality." A sneer appeared on her pale countenance: "Eternal immortality, only a madman can be immortal and sensible."

People would never chase such an ethereal thing. ”

The Black Rose of Blomanda is known as immortal and eternal, and it was interesting to hear such words from the mouth of a dark nobleman of Madara. "I see, no wonder Andesa recognized him, but they didn't seem to be too much of a deal at first, and Amman didn't join the Tree Shepherds?"

"He has no interest in the shepherd, that person is the kind of maggot who is really selfish, everything he does is based on his own interests, he lives only for himself, he can't understand our pursuit at all, and we won't accept such people." Bai said lightly.

"What about you, you bewitched him for the sake of the Book of the Ancient Evil Thing Mavikart, right?"

"Yes, I exchanged the secret of eternal immortality with him, hoping to get from him a fake of the Book of Mavikart." Bai raised his eyelids and glanced at him with golden eyes: "As far as I know, the high-level wizard of the All Things Return to One Society. It is to use the forgery of the Book of Mavikalt as a medium to extract the power of the Dark Orb. ”

"You seem to be very attached to the power of the Dark Orb—" Brando asked suspiciously, "Wait, you said that the High Wizard of the All Things Are One used the forgery of the Book of Mavikart as a medium to extract the power of the Dark Orb, and you want to get the fake of the Book of Mavikart from Amman, do you have found the Dark Orb?"

Beads? ”

The golden flame in his white eyes flickered slightly, and he did not answer the question.

"Looks like you guessed right, Brando. Not only had she found the Orb of Darkness, but it looked like it was probably in this place—in this hall. Bai Jia smiled slightly and said.

Bai suddenly turned her head and stared at the female knight with great resentment, but she understood that it was useless, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Yes, I am sure that I have found the Dark Orb. ”

Brando and Bai Jia glanced at each other, and saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes, the Dark Orb disappeared after the High Wizard of the One Thing. Even the three treasures made from the power extracted from them have been in the hands of three different people for hundreds of years, and after that, it has gone through another hundred years

The Bone Crown was nowhere to be found, and even the Amethyst Ring was completely ruined, but she didn't expect this woman to be so ambitious, she didn't even look down on these three treasures, and turned her gaze directly to the Dark Orb.

And listening to her, she didn't know how long ago she had started planning it. Judging by what Brando knew, it was at least earlier than he had traveled through.

This woman's scheming is really too deep and calm. If they weren't too familiar with her, they might not have been able to make her suffer such a big loss this time.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Orb should have been obtained by Rorison's wife," Shiro continued, "It's just that at that time, the power in the Orb somehow left the Orb itself and was injected into her body, just like the blood of a god. This can only be the handiwork of a tree herdsman. Your guess is that Grasse is a shepherd, and that's what I guess

I think it should be a high-ranking Shepherd who extracts the power from the Dark Orb and makes it into pure divine blood, and Rorison's wife is probably just a mid-to-lower class of the Shepherd. It is a divine envoy, a real yàn product. ”

"The blood of the dark gods." Brando said suddenly.

Shiro glanced at him: "What you saw from Andresa?" ”

Brando didn't say that the blood of the dark god was on him, he just nodded silently.

"That should have something to do with the Dark Orb, but it's not pure, it should be a secondary product derived from the real Yàn of Grass, there is only one true Dark God in this world, and that is her." Bai said contemptuously: "Her power is so pure and powerful, otherwise you think that with the consistent style of the Flame Temple, how can you."

can only seal her, and being burned at the stake is her only fate. ”

"That's what you're really here for?" Brando looked at Rorison standing beside him, the pale light shining on its phosphorus-like bones, carving inky shadows between them, the golden flames in its eyes burning in the sockets, and did not react to their words. He didn't know if it would hear it between them

Talking, but this knight must have loved his wife deeply during his lifetime, otherwise it would not have been able to sacrifice his reputation and a qiē, and even endure endless pain to protect her here after death.

This is truly noble and sincere love, which transcends life and death, and is above the one in this world.

But good things are often easy for evil to take advantage of, just as they are now. Brando stared at the undead knight for a long moment, then turned back to the dialogue and asked, "Are you going to make a deal with it to take the power of the Dark Orb from its wife's body?" ”

"Are you going to stop me?"

"Shouldn't I stop you?" Brando asked rhetorically.

Bai Leng smiled coldly. "But if I had not taken away the blood of the dark god, the soul of that poor woman would have been sealed away forever in pain and torment, and Sir Rorison, an upright and noble knight, had to live in the darkness of the earth in the state of the thing he hated most in his life, and he would have been silently guarded all the days without seeing his lover

Two pure souls, bound here for eternity. Day after day, year after year, only darkness lasts. ”

"What does this have to do with us?" Mordface had long been puzzled, he could not understand this mortal feeling at all, and for him there was only the difference between hunter and prey, master and servant. In addition to food, there is only the master, who dedicates every good thing in his life to death and loyalty, cloth

Lando only needs one look to make him die willingly.

But Brando and Bai Jia fell into silence.

"My lord, there are many forces in this world, and as long as you give up your principles, they are at your fingertips, for people like me. It makes no difference between the power of the Orb of Darkness, the power of the Book of Mavikaert, or any other power, and I will eventually gain power, and I will be evil to the world, regardless of the means by which I obtain it. Right now

The scriptures are the best results, so why stick to tradition? Besides, only if I convince Roreson that you can safely take that slate from here, it's a win-win deal. You can deal with me at any time, can't you? ”

Shiro's voice echoed through the dark underground, as if it were a devil's whisper. Full of seductive magic.

"If you know I'm going to kill you, why do you pursue any more?" Brando asked coldly.

With a raging golden flame burning in her eyes, she smiled, revealing Bai Sensen's fangs. "I don't believe in necessity, as long as there is a chance, it is worth my best."

"That being the case. Why am I giving you this chance to turn defeat into victory? Brando asked, "Unlike you, I'm a cautious person, and I wish I could take everything into my own hands." ”

Shiro didn't speak, as if she believed that Brando would change her mind eventually, but that was the time. A low, old voice sounded in the darkness:

"Let her come, young man."

The three of them turned their heads together, and the golden fire in the eyes of the tall and pale skeleton knight pulsed, and it squeaked and turned its body, looking at Bai, a hollow and vicissitudes of life seemed to come from its chest: "You say you can lift the curse on Grasse and free her from this endless suffering?" ”

It's not an undead without wisdom –

"Sir Rorison—" Brando was the first to react, and he hurried to stop it, this woman was so terrible that although she didn't look like she was lying, who could guarantee it? But the Skeleton Knight only waved his hand at him lightly, interrupting him, "I've been listening here for a long time, and the three of you know my life very well, so would you like to sit down and listen to me, an old man?" ”

Brando and Bai Jia looked at each other in amazement, Bai didn't answer, his eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally Brando nodded and replied, "Please speak." ”

The Undead Knight was silent for a moment, and then his deep voice echoed in the darkness: "I was born in the countryside of Granu, and I have seen many people and many things in my life, and some of those memories I remember, and some of them can no longer be remembered, but they are only endless pain and suffering for me now. My love for Grasse is now only a vow and bondage, and the feelings that belong to humanity are long gone. But in the darkness, the thought often flashed through my mind that I wanted to see her again, and once it came to my mind, it took root and could not be suppressed—"

"I don't know if this is love, but I just want to see her, young man, I may have more experience in my life than you, but at this moment I don't dare to boast of myself in front of you, I just want to ask you, can you fulfill the wishes of an old man."

"I dedicated my life to Martha, but I never saw the light of day—"

The sigh in the darkness is like sand and dust in the wind, and after the sand and gravel are gone, only endless vicissitudes remain.

Brando and Bai Jia were silent for a long time. I've dedicated my life to Martha, but I've never seen the light of day—and yet I'm also a seeker of ideals, will they end up like that one day? Is there really a reward for giving in this world, or is it just a well-intentioned comfort and lie, just a whisper of despair comforting each other in the dark.

What if there was no light in this darkness?

"Then let me light the fire—" The irrepressible thought silently rose in Brando's mind.

Shiro hid in the shadows of the two of them, still not saying a word, but Brando knew that she had succeeded. He sighed, there are things in this world that you may know are wrong, but you have to do them, because the power of humanity shines in the darkness along with the light of reason. "Maybe what we need isn't cold and right, senior sister." He whispered to Bai Jia.

Bai Jia was silent.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered the empire called Maldos.
