Brando's gaze moved beyond Francis' grip and rested on the fourth object. It was a small mirror with a silver handle, and the frame was carved with a very delicate wavy pattern, a bit like a lady's item. There are hundreds of millions of equipment in "Amber", and he can't know all of them except for some very famous ones or those he has used before. He picked up the mirror, and the pale green screen of light unfolded on the mirror. Looking at the text on it, Brando couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"It turned out to be this thing......"

"What is this?" As Brando's gaze fell on the small mirror, Filas noticed the most delicate of all the items. As a nobleman, he still instinctively prioritized his gorgeous appearance.

Brando held up the mirror—

Valora's vanity mirror.

Shadow of Truth - Valora's Vanity Mirror is a copy of a qiē lie, using Valora's Vanity Mirror to select a target can replicate its last used ability. This ability is stored in a mirror in the form of a real illusion, and the user can cast this ability once, paying one-tenth of its cost. (Cooldown, 1 day)

The Goddess of the Night's vanity mirror, this mirror is a very interesting item in Amber. It can copy abilities, but the ability to cast is in the form of an illusion, except that the illusion is a real illusion - that is, as long as the recipient believes that the spell is real, then he must suffer a corresponding effect.

But if he didn't believe it, the spell would be as simple as an illusion to him.

Therefore, the use of this mirror is very skillful. If the skills you copy are too bizarre, most people won't believe them. But there are also people who do the opposite, specializing in some very strange skills - such as the skills of the swordsman to learn the elemental envoy, and often when you don't believe it, the control spells such as the claw of ice really fall on you.

Brando had heard the name of this mirror in the past. But I have never been able to see the real thing. He took the mirror and explained it to Firas. Of course, it is not so detailed, only that it is a relic left by a beautiful female knight, and the mirror has the ability to copy illusions.

Unexpectedly, hearing these words made the latter's eyes sparkle. I couldn't help but ask, "Wait, there's a reluctant request down there, Lord Earl." Can you give me this mirror? ”

Although Filas looks like a child on the surface, he still has an aristocratic education in his bones. In terms of aristocratic etiquette, the skeleton was found together, but Firas knew very well that it was just a show for Brando.

For the nobles, inviting the other party to inspect the loot during a winter hunt is already the highest level of courtesy. Firas wasn't naïve enough to think he was entitled to share in the spoils, he could see that Brando could find it even if he didn't need to bring himself; However, he did not mention the word 'buy', which is undoubtedly very rude and even insulting in their circles.

Especially Brando's current status can be said to be higher than him.

Filas spoke. In fact, it means that he will return a favor in the future. Brando also heard the implication of this sentence, and looked at the other party with some surprise. He didn't understand what this mirror was important to the other party, and he needed to repay it with a favor.

To know that the higher the status, the higher the person. The less you like to owe favors. Firas himself was just a trainee knight. But don't forget that in the future, he will become a prince of the Cruz Empire.

Seeing that Brando was a little puzzled, Firas explained, "Lord Earl. You mentioned that it was a relic of a beautiful lady from her lifetime. I felt that it must be worthy of Laurenna, and I always wanted to give her a gift. ”

"I see." Brando reacted at this time, thinking that he didn't expect this guy to be quite romantic. He looked at the silver mirror in his hand—honestly, it was a nice magical artifact, and even if he used it himself, it would be useful. But on the other hand, it is indeed a good choice to gain the favor of Laurena and Firas.

He offended many people in the Cruz Empire, especially the killing of Williams, although it was covered by Wood, describing the death of the deputy head in a sneak attack with demons. But these rhetoric can only fool the general public; After Williams became a big family in Cruz, his relatives and close friends were all powerful figures, even if he didn't trouble him for a while, it was inevitable that he would have malicious intentions behind him.

Not to mention that there has been an inexplicable addition of the prime minister's daughter to the blacklist recently. The Prime Minister's daughter is not seen in Amber by Brando, but the famous Imperial Prime Minister is a hand-eyed figure in the game. Moreover, his faction is completely different from Williams's Templars, so he can be said to have offended the two major powers of the empire at the same time.

Therefore, he had to consider wooing the moderates in the empire. After all, there is a sage in Eruin who once said that when it comes to Eruin's politics, you can't avoid the empire and the wind elves, although it is a little helpless to say this, but it is a true portrayal of this ancient kingdom. Not to mention that the princess's party has not yet unified Eruin, even if it is fledgling, Eruin's geography makes it impossible for Brandor to completely free this kingdom from the influence of the Cruz people and the wind elves.

Although he kept saying that he wanted to break with the Flame Temple, Brando knew it very well in his heart. Eruin's best bet before becoming an empire is to remain neutral between the Wind Queen Sanctuary and the Fire Sanctuary.

His views also come from that sage.

The sage's name was Varatillan, and he was Tulaman's mortal teacher. The Kolkova dynasty was established, and the 'White King' Edward ascended the throne to the early Anson XI for nearly a hundred years of the kingdom's important ministers. He was also the founder of the Zhongxing era, and it is said that Tulaman and his own grandfather Daurus were only in the shadow of this sage.

Brando's promise to help Veronica is not without consideration, and the families of Laurena and Filas also have a lot of influence in Cruz. The point is that Firas's family has a good relationship with Faina's family, and if these two big families can be co-opted at the same time, the empire will have the power to counterbalance those potential enemies.

Of course, the most crucial point is: Brando's impression of Firas and Laurena is not bad, although both are descendants of the great nobles. But the table is not arrogant. Compare these two. He had to wonder about the so-called family education between the Imperial Prime Minister and the Grand Duke of Mohama.

Fortunately, although Faina is rude, her essence is not bad. The prime minister's daughter, he really didn't dare to compliment.

Brando, on the other hand, has always believed that personal qualities can determine many things, if Filas and Laurena are the same as the unsightly noble heirs. Even if the family behind them is powerful in Cruz, he will probably disdain it. Although he has long said goodbye to his past self, Brando has always maintained the loneliness and pride of the last line of the dead game house in his heart. Otherwise, if he had compromised, he wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble today.

At the end of the day, Eruin has nothing to do with him per se.

He glanced at Filas and tossed the mirror over. "You are the guest, I am the host, and the host should give the guest gifts, so you don't have to be so polite. What's more, these are ownerless things in the first place, and maybe Lady Laurena is the master it chooses. ”

"That's right." Firas's eyes lit up: "But Lord Count, you are really the most generous gentleman I have ever met, please come to the Cruz Empire when you have the opportunity." I will definitely treat you as my most distinguished guest. ”

Brando smiled slightly, this guy said this, basically treating him as someone who could be worth associating. But he nodded unconcernedly. This is just an opportunity. In order to truly produce a close connection, it is still necessary to have interests.

But he had a chance. Therefore, there is no rush for a while. Brando had the idea of exploiting the Black Forest, which had the most precious commodity in all of Vaughnd, and with a hard-to-find specialty, he didn't believe that the Cruz nobles could sit still. Even the nobles of the empire have to support their families, and the larger the family, the more amazing the expenses. Did the imperial nobles have their own estate? Especially in the upper class of Cruz, who pursued a luxurious life, what he had in his hands would definitely arouse the interest of the other party when the time came.

As a nobleman, he certainly understood the value of the Goddess of the Night's dressing mirror, but when he put it away, he didn't care as if it were an ordinary mirror. Then he looked at the other things on the ground, and asked, "What about these things, Lord Earl, you should know them too, right?" ”

Brando nodded lightly and introduced him to the Ring of the Rings and the Grip of Francis. But of course, he didn't go into that much detail, just pointed out the approximate value and history of the two magical items. In fact, he knew very well that the children of nobility like Firas were not likely to be interested in the practical use of these things, but the background of these magical items attracted them even more.

After telling the story of Francis's grip on the 'unjust knight', Brando's eyes fell on the last thing. It was the tooth he had seen before, it was a bit like a wolf's tooth, but when Brando looked closely, he found that it was actually a bone dragon tooth.

This is a great thing, the bone dragon tooth is one of the most precious materials in Amber, and using it to forge armor can give you a special ability to resist the curse of aging. Insert it into your weapon to give it the special power of the Curse of Aging.

In the previous life, the price of the Bone Dragon's Tooth was as high as hundreds of thousands of tors. Brando had tried his best to get one, but at the time the weapon it made wasn't really very useful to him, as Amber was considered to be the best fit for it by players with the time element.

The reason is simple. The chance to trigger the Curse of Aging provided by the Bone Dragon's Fang ranges from a minimum of 1% to a maximum of 2.5%, depending on the effect of the forge, which can be said to be quite low. This trigger chance is a bit of a frustration for the average player, but it's not the same for players with the Time element, because having the Time element means having the active element effect of the Passage of Time.

The active element effect of the Passage of Time is described as 'As long as the line of the law tends to be stable, the user's attacks can affect the enemy and cause them to age rapidly', which is in fact actively triggering the Curse of Aging. And this effect can be stacked with the effect of the Bone Dragon's Fang itself, which means that in the case of having the Bone Dragon's Fang, the Aging Curse is basically doubled when the elapsed effect is activated.

As one of the few high-end items experienced in the previous life, Brando has always remembered the effect of this thing. And here, he has a higher level of space-time attribute than the time element. This thing was simply born for him.

When he picked up the tooth, the eyes of Firas couldn't help but soften a little. This is simply a God of Wealth. If you take this guy with you every time you get off the dungeon. Wouldn't it be long before I could graduate in disguise?

Of course, he also knew that this was just a thought, and it was unlikely that Firas and Laurena would stay in Eruin forever. Presumably, as soon as Anlek dies, they and Veronica will return to the Cruz Empire.

"Huh. This is the tooth of the bone dragon? Firas also seemed to recognize what Brando was in hand.

Brando was slightly stunned, a little surprised: "You know?" ”

"Ah, I guess I've heard of it." Firas replied with a slight smugness, "I heard that this thing is a tooth removed from the skeleton dragon of Madara, right?" ”

"That's not right." Before Brandor could speak, Haruzer on the side interrupted him, and he said in a childish voice: "The bone dragon of Madara is just a monster assembled from the bones of wurm, the real necromantic dragon is a dead adult dragon, and only a few dragons in the entire Vaughnder have been transformed into necromancy, and their strength is almost the same as when they were alive, even the emperor who holds the mercury staff has great respect for them-"

"Huh." Brando moved his gaze to the little prince, who blushed slightly. Her curly and soft hair was obediently attached to her forehead, and her eyes sparkled in the darkness against the light of the illuminating crystals, and she looked very feminine. But he insisted, "It was my sister who sued me for this." ”

"Your sister, Princess Griffine?" Firas reacted.

"My sister said it. Madara is Eruin's mortal enemy. You Cruz people have been trying to manipulate the authority of the kingdom. But after all, it will not plunge the kingdom into a sea of fire. For the undead, however, the line between life and death is easy to break......"

Haruzer looked at Firas as if holding his breath: "But I've always been weird. We're all human, so why can't we work together to deal with the monsters in the dark? ”

"Well......" Filas was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but scratch her hair.

Brando gave the guy a sympathetic look, and he couldn't explain to Haruzer that Madara's skeleton wasn't technically a monster. After all, the dead are also part of this world, they are not truly immortal, but just another way of being.

In fact, in Vaunde, the spirits of Mardala, like the humans of Cruz and the wind spirits of St. Osor, believe in Martha, a symbol of order. Just an order that worships darkness, a heart that turns to the light.

But it can't be said that Princess Griffi's words are wrong, the boundary between life and death is very fragile, but the two are completely different beings after all. There are many examples of undead invading eastern Eruin for thousands of years, such as Buch, and it is really difficult for humans to think about the problem from the perspective of the undead.

He sighed and rubbed the little prince's hair: "These are all your sisters suing you?" ”

"Mistress Nimesis has said something ...... too"

This is similar to Brando's conjecture. However, he did not intend to continue on this topic, and patted the little prince on the shoulder. Then he turned and pulled its armor from the skeleton with a thud, tearing the already rotten skeleton of bones apart.

"Mr. Brando, ......" Firas was startled, and Akane, who had been standing at the back, glared at her lord in surprise. The mountain people, like the nobles, had great respect for the dead.

But Brando looked at the armor and explained, "As you can see, people don't carry bone plates with words and cursed swords. Only one class can use them. ”

Firas was slightly stunned, but reacted extremely quickly: "Wait, Lord Earl, do you mean ......?"

Brando nodded, he could almost confirm that this thing was a skeleton 'in life'. More likely to be a Skeleton Knight. He was influenced by that player's strategy in advance, but now that I think about it, that strategy is a very early product, and things like the secret text bone plate are gradually known to everyone after the player's identity in the game has improved a little bit in the later stage, so it is entirely possible that the strategy is omission.

This incident reminded him that because of the different time periods, some strategies are likely to have limitations, and he must also show his own experience to judge.

Brando handed the armor in his hand to Firas: "This is a set of enchanted armor, the skeleton knight's magic armor has no special power, but the defense is amazingly high." You'll take it and replace it later, and there's more to it than just demons from here. ”

Filas frowned at the dirty, dusty armor in Brando's hand, magic armor was a very rare and precious magical item even in Amber, and of course he knew it. But it was a bit of a ...... for him to put on something that had just been plucked from a dead man

Filas swallowed and replied dryly, "Okay, I'll find a way to wash it." In fact, he also knew that he could basically be said to be the worst in the team on this trip. Brando gave him this suit of armor so that he would not be so dragged down by the team in the future.

Regardless, he gave Brando a grateful look, and then took the corpse-smelling armor with a bitter face.

Brando turned around again, and he estimated that the time outside should be almost up, so he quickened the movement of his hand. This time, he pulled out the Skeleton Knight's former weapon, a flame-shaped sword, from a pile of broken bones.

As soon as he pulled out the sword, Haruzer behind him couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Filas was already familiar with the little prince by this time, and immediately asked.

"It's ......"

"This is the lion's tooth," Brando said with some admiration as he looked at the sword in his hand, and with some surprise, "it is the companion sword of the guard of the ancestor Ek, and the method of forging it has long been lost for hundreds of years. Looks like our knight sir has a bit of a history—"

"Hmm." Haruzer nodded heavily.

"Is there anything wrong with this sword?" Firas couldn't help but be a little curious as he looked at the way Haruzer's eyes sparkled.

"No, that's perfect." Brando raised his sword in the faint light of the illumination crystal and smiled slightly: "The eleven knights around Ancestor Ek are all shining figures. Oh, by the way, the silent, silent Mr. Knight next to Freya, you see? ”

Filas nodded inexplicably, of course he saw the Knight of the Lake who had been out of the crowd.

"They're all legends......"

Brando sighed as he turned the blade of his sword and handed the hilt in the direction of Haruzer. He smiled at the little prince of Eruin and asked, "How is it?" ”

Haruzer watched in amazement as the Earl moved.

"Earl, Earl...... You're going to give it to me? "He was almost incredulous.

"Historical literature says that the tooth of a lion belongs to the truly brave. Your previous battles, though not very good fighters. But the one who can overcome himself is the real warrior—"

Brando replied, "Isn't it worthy of you?" His Highness Haruzer? ”

"No...... I, I'm just ......" Haruzer was both surprised and a little excited, his eyes were as bright as silver gems, and he couldn't help but blush with a little face: "But this is a hero's sword, I, I just think it's ......"

"You just don't think you deserve it?" Brando shook his head: "If you feel you need to be braver, then it's all the more important to take up this sword and prove yourself." ”

"Besides, you're not just going to prove for a sword—"

Brando handed him the sword: "This is your trophy, legend has it that the men of the mountain people declared adulthood when they got their weapons, so from now on this sword is your responsibility." ”

Brando said this, looking up and seeing Akane nodding slightly to him not far away.

"I—I see, Lord Earl......"

It was the barely audible voice of Haruzer.
