The golden flames in the white eyes split into layers of flame streaks, like flowing lava. She squeezed a few words out of her throat: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Because of this." Brando raised his hand, and a crystal slashed in a graceful arc, striking the ground with a crisp sound, and then rolling to his white feet. Bai hesitated for a moment before leaning over to pick up the thing, it was a dark crystal with no brilliance, exuding a cold aura in the palm of her hand, and the color of its center was removed, revealing an ugly blank space.

Shiro looked closely for a moment, and finally recognized that this crystal was one of the culprits who had plotted against her before, and her brows furrowed deeply. "This is a soul crystal?"

"This is the Soul Crystal." Brando replied, "It used to store a spell called the Soul Spike, which was a dark magic. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

Brando looked up at the empty rotunda. The towering vaults are carved with thorns, light and shadow, and gargoyles stand gloomily on top of stone pillars, each of which is said to be topped with a blessing such as 'Atshsvon' (The Radiance of Kings) in praise of the glorious Lord and the sun god Perkin - the building is a testament to the time of the era to which it belongs, and this hall is filled with centuries of history. "It really shouldn't have been related." He said, "But how could a believer in the sun god perform black magic and hide such evil in his sanctuary? ”

There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and she saw Bai Jia walking out behind Brando. Bai Jia smiled politely at her, and took Brando's words in a gentle tone: "Sir Rorison was a true devout believer in his lifetime, he was an upright and noble knight, but he also had his own story. Many people may not believe that this upright knight never had any connection with the word cultist in his life, but it is true. He was also exiled because of this stain and was not allowed to return to his homeland and family for the rest of his life. Of course, this is a deeply buried secret, outsiders think that this knight ran away because he was tired of fighting for power and profit, and the family he came from will naturally do everything possible to cover up the truth that has brought shame to the family. As a result, true history is forgotten day after day, like this hall, which seals all the past in the dust. But history is silent, but time will tell a qiē, no matter how deeply buried the secret, there will be times when it inadvertently reappears. ”

"Much later, a ranger named Verdant found a diary in the ruins of a castle in Granu. He opened the diary, which was covered with crimson sheepskin, and on the first page of the diary was written the name of the journal's owner in Juanxiu's words. Her name is Grasse. Petty, whose real identity is none other than Rorison's former wife, is a tree shepherd. ”

She paused at this point, not intending to continue. Brando continued, "I've been thinking about it before, how can Perkin tolerate so many undead in his sanctuary, no matter how roaring and roaring the tide of magic may be and how many waves of the sea may be? But when I saw the rotunda, I understood. This hall is not Perkin's prayer hall, but a sacred vault. Perkin's followers used it to seal evil monsters in an underground shrine. That's why the undead exist here for such a simple reason, because they've been here for a long time—"

"Even so, it doesn't mean anything."

"That's true, but the problem is that you're showing your tail yourself, and don't forget that you used Spirit-Enlightening Witchcraft on Rorison."

"It's not surprising," said White coldly, "I am the Dark Lord of Madara. It's all too normal to search for powerful undead as your henchmen. ”

"Then you can use the command of the necromancy, why bother to turn on the wisdom for Rorison."

"That's because the high-level undead with intelligence are more powerful."

Brando shook his head. "Theoretically, though, Rorison's undead still retains the heart of a saint, a true sage revenant, even if it wakes up and is too powerful to attack you by the power of the Spirit-Enlightenment. But it also chooses to self-destruct, and what you get is not a powerful retinue, but a pile of dry bones. The Spiritual Enlightenment Scroll is worth a lot of money, and the Madara Empire is not strong enough to squander it at will, and the reason why you dare to do this is because you need Roresson to restore the memories of his lifetime, and only as the designer and builder of this Vault himself, is it qualified to provide you with what you want - that is, a way to unlock the seal of this Vault and release Grass. Petty's soul. ”

"I almost have to praise your wonderful hypothesis, human, I didn't expect you to know about the Sage Undead, your understanding of the world of the dead is really deeper than I imagined, I'm curious, you are only about twenty years old, what prompted you to understand the secrets of the dead? If you were a wizard who specialized in necromancy and dark magic, I believe you, but you were just a swordsman, and the youngest Juggernaut in a thousand years. Bai said lightly: "Unfortunately, hypotheses are hypotheses after all, and there may be many coincidental similarities between them and reality, but after all, they are just subjective speculations, and you still don't have any evidence to support what you say." ”

"When do the human nobles need evidence to convict people," Andreg suddenly opened his mouth and said very impatiently: "In my opinion, this is all nonsense, you can't resist anyway, this human wants you to go to the gallows or go to bed is a matter of one sentence, why do you waste time so pretended." So your understanding of human beings is nothing more than that, far less than mine. ”

Brando almost choked to death by this sentence, I really don't know if this sentence is praising herself or taking the opportunity to say bad things about herself, but the vampire princess looks serious, and seems to be deeply convinced of her words. Bai smiled and sneered, "Others may do this, but I know that your lord will not. ”

Brando knew that Shiro was deliberately provoking himself, but he didn't care. He shook his head: "I have reservations about your opinion, and in some specific cases, I won't care what the means are, otherwise I will never listen to a cultist like you say more than half a word." But at the moment, I won't lower myself to the same level as you, and if I say that you are a shepherd, there will naturally be accurate evidence. Having said that, this evidence was actually handed over to me by your own hands. ”

Bai's face was a little ugly, and anyone who was described as so vulgar would feel angry. What's more, she is such a proud person, but she is not angry, at most she is just a little dissatisfied.

Brando continued, "Miss Tiamas, do you remember what you said to me before? ”

"This question sounds familiar," Bai replied, "and my answer is pretty much the same, I've had a lot to say to you." I wonder what you are asking? ”

"That sentence itself doesn't matter, it's just that you mentioned Amman when I took out the God-Killing Cone."

Bai suddenly changed his complexion. "So what, it's really bold to say that you killed the high-ranking priest of the temple and dared to appear in the empire in a grand manner."

"Why bother going around in circles, Miss Tiamas, since I mention this name, you should understand that I already know another identity of Amman, a high-ranking member of the Order of Oneness. I dare say that there are no more than ten people in this world who know this person's dual identity at the same time, and that includes me. But you can call his name in the first place, which means that you already know that he died in the Ring of Trade Winds, and what he is doing in the Ring of Trade Winds. ”

The Black Knight of Madara's face sank like water. "That idiot!" She cursed under her breath, as she happily admitted what Brando had assumed. Her pride did not allow her to continue to deny it, because she understood that it was meaningless, that there were some things that could be said to be coincidences, but that coincidences could not explain everything. Shiro looked at Brando with golden eyes. Curious, he asked, "I have another question that I am a little curious about, Amman is a member of the One Everything. Why do you insist that I am a shepherd and one of the twelve patriarchs? ”

Brando hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Actually, the reason is relatively simple, that is because the Society of All Things is One does not accept the undead, and the members of the Society of All Things have always looked down on the undead and spiritism, thinking that it is just a path that has been bewitched and degraded by the magic of darkness. What they are seeking is the truth of chaos, the true eternity, and it is by no means comparable to the bones of Madara. I was suspicious of Amman's state, although that only meant that he was secretly practicing the forbidden art of the dead, transforming himself into an undead spirit before he died. But it was enough to get my attention. Later, I always thought that Amman was going to the Ring of Trade Winds for the legacy of the Dark Dragon, until you called his name before that, and it dawned on me that I realized something. His purpose is the same as that of Andelsa, to go for the blood of the gods in the dark dragon, which is the blood of the true descendants of the gods, and it is not the same as the junk blood of the gods you have cultivated. ”

There is one more thing that Brando has not said, and that is that he has experienced it firsthand and definitely has more say than everyone else. And as for why Bai is the Patriarch, that's another story, a person can hide a secret for a while, but it is difficult to cover up for a lifetime, in fact, in "Amber Sword", there are many players who suspect that Bai is a shepherd, the god of death among the twelve patriarchs, Joka, the patriarch who holds the power of life and death. Although Shiro, as the black knight of Madara, has shown her superb skills in the realm of the dead most of the time, including her ability to manipulate people's hearts, the world knows that she has many hole cards that have never been revealed, and her strength as a lone ranger is at the end of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse but she can keep this position, which is enough to say a lot.

So Bai is the Patriarch, it is just his tentative guess, and now this guess seems to have been confirmed, and Brando can imagine that this title must also be inherited from the blood of the evil dragon, and from the name of this lineage, it can be known that it is also a type of blood of the gods.

Bai was completely silent, about the time when the hole cards were completely exposed, which made her a little confused, she was silent for a long time, and then slowly asked: "Since you already know my identity, I choose to cooperate with you, can you let me go again?" ”

"Of course not." Brando replied frankly, "But you have told me so much before, just to make me cause some trouble for Constance and that one, because 'you' don't want to see civilization and order reunited in the name of an empire, only chaos is in line with your needs, you are paving the way for the Dragon of Dusk, and everything will be one." In that case, why not be happy, you want me to be a stumbling block to the revival of the Mardos Empire, why not expect me to do more. ”

Bai looked at him with a complicated expression: "Do you think you can compete with those two people?" One of them is the embodiment of the dark dragon reborn on this earth, the prophesied lord who deserves the name, and the other is the king that Madara has been waiting for for thousands of years, she will bring an era that belongs to the dead moon, and the two of them are the echoes of the order of this era, this is the general trend of civilization, except for dusk, no one can be invincible, don't you think you are too arrogant, human. ”

"The more arrogant I am, the better it will be for you." Brando replied.

"That's just as well."

"So if you want me to cause Constance enough trouble, please tell me more details."

"Very good," Bai sneered, "what do you want to know?" ”

"I said it, all."

"Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief for a while, human. The Silver Queen has not planned to mobilize the undead in the Alkasha Mountains, and she does not have the ability to do so for the time being, but in the eastern part of Mez, it has been the traditional sphere of influence of the Shepherds since hundreds of years ago, and there are huge dark forces hidden here, and Rorisson is just a victim of the struggle between the dark forces and the church in the past hundred years, the relationship is too complicated, I will not repeat them one by one, you just need to know one thing. People like Rorison's wife, there is not only one in this place, they have many identities, dark wizards, cultists or whatever, a hundred years ago the church suddenly launched a great purge, the end result is that our power here was uprooted, and all things will be one, but we did not let the temple curry favor, and then the decades-long strife and the holy war between the three empires were all provoked by us. Bai said with some smugness. But the audience next to him felt a chill behind him, this dispute between light and darkness finally led to the blood of the entire continent, and behind this was only the ambition and revenge of a few, Brando had secretly made up his mind that he would never let this woman and the shepherd survive.

Even if she might really have something to do with Metisa.

Bai may have seen his intentions, or maybe didn't notice it at all, but she didn't care, and continued: "Back in the Great Purge a hundred years ago, among the dark forces that were uprooted at that time, a small number of people were executed, but most of them were secretly imprisoned or sealed, such as the Blood Lord Roclere, who was captured and imprisoned at that time. The reasons for this are complex, but the main reason is that the dark forces have completely eroded the nobility of the empire, and if this scar is completely removed, then the empire will not only become covered in bruises, but may even die of blood loss. As a result, the obstinacy of the church caused a backlash from the aristocracy, and at that time, there was a fierce struggle within the empire, truth and lies were intertwined, and very few people really understood what had happened in the empire during this period, in short, the result of the church was that the influence of the church plummeted, and the imperial power returned to the church under the support of the aristocratic forces. ”

Only then did Brando understand the truth behind the battle between the clergy and the king, perhaps from that time on, the Cruz Empire began to inevitably go downhill, and all things could be unscrupulously infiltrated into the nobility and even the church.

“…… In short, the end result is that most of the dark creatures are buried deep underground—like this vault, along with the secrets of the nobles who have not seen the light. And these people who have been corrupted by the darkness, as well as the saints who have fallen in the struggle, after their deaths, are the group of people who are most vulnerable to being transformed into undead by the magic of darkness, and the Silver Queen obviously knew this, and I came here to restore her authority by order of that person. ”

"Authority?"

Brando didn't quite understand the word.
