Act XXIX: Eruin's Past
Let the gods return to the earth.
Brando's heart tightened suddenly, and if others understood this sentence, they might think that this was a secret to return to the age of the gods.
But for players, it's very different -
This is a slogan in The Amber Sword - to return the gods to the earth, not to bring the gods of Martha back to earth, but to usher in a new era for mortals to ascend to the gods.
When the player can perfect the Silver Body, the gods will return to the earth, only this time they will no longer be the gods of Martha, nor the genealogy of Tiamat, but the gods of mortals.
Brando suddenly felt that he had grasped the secret, but before he could speak, Fias, who was sitting above him, couldn't help but ask curiously, "But where is that door?" β
The question made Brando almost happy to pick up the leprechaun and kiss it so hard, it was so timely that his fear of making people see his intentions vanished.
It's not that he's cautious, it's that it's so big that it's too big for him to keep it a secret.
He has not forgotten the tragedy of the slate war, and the wizards have put down their reserve in order to compete for the ultimate secret of the world.
But this time Rout still shook his head: "Maybe no one knows." β
"Nobody knows?" Fias was a little disappointed: "That's not fun. β
"History itself is strict," Root frowned at the feeling that his authority was being questioned, and he exclaimed, "And it's not all clueless, at least I know that someone knows the secret." β
"Who?"
"A Miner named Odin, but unfortunately he died early."
"That's not dead." Fias pursed her lips.
But Brando interrupted her and said, "Dark Dragon? β
Rutter was annoyed that the damned ice goblin was working against him, and he replied indignantly, "It's him, and I know that he keeps this secret. It is also known that he gave the secret to another person before he died. β
He continued: "I don't know who that man is, but I do know that he is a mortal and has built an empire on the earth, and then this mortal died, and he gave the secret to one of his henchmen before he died. β
"This man must be one of the four sages, and it won't be Elranta." Brando muttered, and he asked again, "What is the name of that empire, Faenzan or St. Osor?" Or Cruz? β
"I don't know, but I do know that this empire has some connection to the fire elemental's kinship."
"That's Cruz," Brando immediately decided, "Root, how do you know all this?" β
"This knowledge was born in my memory, and we goblins all pass on knowledge in this way, and if you know, you will know; I don't know. I don't know. If you ask me where I know, I can't say, but I know my memories don't lie to me. Rout explained earnestly.
Bloodline inheritance, Brando's heart was clear, and he asked again: "After that, do you know who that henchman is?" β
"I know this, because the patron of the previous generation of Fusedes once summoned him, and that human is called Vante."
"That's the head of the first generation of Flame Knights. It is rumored that he is missing, and his legacy is still incomplete in the Empire. β
A voice came from another boat.
Brando looked back. He frowned when he saw Andesa appear in that direction, he didn't want to see this woman, and he didn't want her to know these secrets.
"You can go under the cabin," he said to Andesa, "Lady Andesa, wait until the mountain where the storm has stopped." I'll let you know. You don't have to worry about me leaving you, I still need you. β
It was an obvious threat, and Andesa heard it, gritting her teeth. But this time he didn't compromise, but stood there fixedly: "You'll be able to use me right away." Lord Count, you'd better let me stay. β
Brando looked at her silently, then stopped insisting.
"And then, Root," he asked. β
Root only glanced at Andesa and quickly looked away disinterestedly, and he continued to reply, "I only know that after about four elemental epochs, this man's descendants left the empire with this secret. β
An elemental era is one hundred and fifty years, Brando silently calculated the time, and suddenly asked in his heart, "Where did the descendants of Jean go?" β
"I don't know."
"Where's the direction?"
Rout shook his head.
Brando was frowning when Andesa said, "He's gone to Eruin." β
Brando abruptly looked back at the woman.
"He went to Eruin," Andesa continued, "and at that time the place was not called Eruin, which was a foreign noun in the Cruz language, and at that time it was called Valhalla, which was a mountain man's word, meaning the resting place of heroes. β
"Eruin," the Ice Sea Sage of the Tirmothians munched on the word, and suddenly spoke, "I think I've heard it there." β
"It's not a noun," Miss Tata shook her head, "it's an adjective that means solemn, sacred, and is generally used in sacred places like burial grounds or halls." β
She paused for a moment before continuing, "This is the language of the Matatanians. β
"The language of the Matatanians." Brando subconsciously repeated.
"It is the language of the Matatanians, they are the first generation of Vaughnde's traveling mages." Miss Fairy confirmed, "Although I have not dealt with these great beings, I have memories of their language and knowledge in my memory. β
"The language of the Matatanians, the language of the traveling mage......" Brando repeated.
He only felt his heart pounding.
In fact, in Amber Sword, players have always known that 'Eruin' is a foreign word in Cruz, but they don't know which language family it comes from or what it means.
But today he understands that it is a word from the Matatanian language family.
It means sacred.
And the Matatanians are traveling mages.
The name was chosen by Ek the Prophet, but Ek was by no means a Traveling Mage, and there is no record of him wielding the powers of a Traveling Mage - he was not even a wizard or an Elemental Envoy - even if he was friendly with the Silver Wizards of Buga.
There is such a huge secret hidden in the name Eruin.
Brando felt dizzy.
He suddenly realized that perhaps this name was not chosen by the ancestor Ek, and if the latter had left the empire with the secret of the Fire King, then as a descendant of Vante, he should have some kind of mission on his shoulders.
The mission may be more than just the creation of Eruin.
Why did Ek take a part of the Holy Sword Odysseus with him when he left Cruz? Just to represent Jin Yan's will to resist the oppression and decay of the empire?
And he always understood that the holy sword Odysseus was actually the Scepter of Flame.
I don't know why, but for a moment, Brando suddenly remembered a lot of things, the many relics of the Sage in Eruin, the many underground ruins, and even the many top-level dungeons in the game, as well as the Azure Spear buried under Ampesel.
and Essis, Valhalla, who sleeps in the Ring of the Trade Winds.
There's also the time of passage under Tonigel and the crystal that sealed the witch queen.
This qiΔ is concentrated in the small territory of Eruin.
He inexplicably remembered what had happened when he had returned to Pragus for the second time, and he remembered the strange meeting he had with Viscount Tayster, the things he had seen at the time between the disgraced and the ghost.
He vaguely felt that the secret that the other party wanted to tell him at that time might be close at this moment.
There may be a big secret behind the name Eruin.
"What do you know," Brando suddenly understood Andessa's previous words, and he asked coldly, "Lady Andessa." β
"It's as you guessed," replied Andelsa, "Lord Earl, Eruin's existence is very special. It's not just us who know this, but 'them' as well. β
Brando knew that the 'they' in her mouth were actually the One Things.
"That's why you're so active in Eruin?"
"Almost, that's just one of them," Andesa replied cheerfully, "and sometimes we operate there, not to subvert, but to find the secret." In fact, at this point, 'they' are progressing much faster than us, and you should be aware of the infiltration of 'them' into the nobility. β
Brando didn't care what would happen when everything came together, he only asked, "What's that secret?" β
Andesa shook her head: "Who knows, maybe the Bugas will know better, they have a large number of observation points in Eruin, and there is a floating city of silver people in the north and south of Eruin, and the meaning of its surveillance is self-evident. And they began to dabble in every aspect of the kingdom at the very beginning of the establishment of Eruin, and even their remnants in Karasu-"
"You're saying that the wizards of the Tower, as well as the Buga, know about this secret?"
Andesa nodded.
Brando frowned, he didn't expect such a relationship, but Charles should know about the composition of the Tower Wizard, but he never told him about it.
The conversation between the two was fast and urgent, and everyone else around them fell silent.
"You've been there for hundreds of years, and you've ended up with nothing?"
"It's not for nothing, we guess what is sealed underneath Eruin, we found an entrance to Swallow Castle, and the Society of All Things One found an entrance in Anlek and Pragus."
"Yanbao?" Brando's mind immediately conjured up Dilferry's face, and he remembered the qiΔ that had happened in Ampeselβcrystallizationβa term that flashed through his mind.
