Act Twenty-One: The Firmament III
(This is the third update!) Written in the front, I didn't pay attention to the first two more, please flip to the front! οΌ
"Owena?"
Even Brando's brains struggled to figure out the origin of the name from memory, let alone anyone else. Only Roman asked tremblingly, "YouβHow are you impersonating me!?" β
Owena glanced at Roman and was slightly stunned: "I see. β
"Huh? What do you mean? Miss Merchant was stunned.
The lightning girl turned her head and looked at Brando on the ground with a frown: "The authority on your body seems to be inherited from the Truth Society, but you obviously have higher authority, inexplicable...... I'll see, it's strange, you have the breath of Gaia's will in you. β
She turned back and looked around at everyone, but only stopped at William. The Silver Alliance archmage frowned and didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something. However, Ovina's eyes lit up slightly when she saw Freya.
"The descendants of the Goddess of War Guard, I didn't expect this bloodline to still exist in the world." She said with a slight admiration.
Brando, of course, heard the words of the lightning girl, but he completely felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. He had never heard a word in Owena's mouth, not even a word about it from his past experience in the game.
He frowned, "Ma'am, who are you?" You are a heroic spirit, whose will do you represent? β
"Me?" The Lightning Maiden took a step forward, her chin raised, "Humans, according to the way you record me, should call me the Knight of Azure Azure. β
The knight of the azure.
These five words echoed in Brando's mind, and he opened his mouth, but for a moment it seemed that he had lost the ability to speak.
Others were probably no better, or worse, than him. MΓ©disa almost let the spear in her hand slide to the ground, and the Makaro people behind Her Royal Highness the princess muttered to themselves, "This is impossible...... It can't be ......"
in front of them. It was the one who shattered the sky. Let the stars fall to the ground, the Azure Knight who brought the mortal era.
If you have to ask what is the most famous heroic epic in the history of Amber Sword, it must be the Poetry of the Firma. And if you want to ask which passage in the poem of Cangzhi is the most widely circulated, it must be the legend of the Azure Knight.
It was the originator of a qiΔ knight epic, and later generations invented countless stories based on this legend. Almost all knights have the shadow of this legendary figure in their fantasies.
But she's a woman?
Everyone couldn't help but be a little unacceptable for a while, only Roman asked curiously after figuring out that the other party was not pretending to be her, "But why do you look exactly the same as me?" β
"The time of history flows quietly like a long river, and among the billions of stars, there are always two that are so similar, which is just a coincidence." The Lightning Maiden replied in a deep voice.
Brando thought the lady was talking nonsense, and he asked, "Lord Knight, may I ask what you mean by those words you said earlier?" β
Owena glanced at him and replied, "What I said." If you hear it, you hear it. I didn't say it, and I won't rashly tell you about this world. Every secret comes at a price. β
"And at what cost?" Brando asked, frowning. During the game, players are constantly trying to solve a puzzle. That is, the ultimate path to the power of existence. Apparently no one had ever succeeded, but Brando had a vague feeling that the term that Owena had mentioned earlier was probably related to the final door.
Because since the fall of the fortress of Babel, ancient knowledge has been lost to the earth, and there is no record of the power of existence zΓ i. Since then, neither the people of gold nor the people of silver have ever really opened that door.
Even the dragons who are high above have stopped at the pinnacle of their golden bodies.
Brando looked at Owena seriously, but the female knight of lightning shook her head: "You can't afford them, human, well, sue me, what is the purpose of your here?" β
"Purpose?" Only then did Brando come back to his senses and remember the purpose of their trip: "My lord, we have stumbled upon the Azure Spear you once used, and we want to gain its approval. β
"I see." The lightning girl nodded, and she glanced up at the entire hall, "This should be the remains of the Barbad Hall, you probably haven't heard of this name." So what is this place for you guys, and the outside world has come to that year? β
"Now this is the territory of the Kingdom of Eruin, and it is the underground of a trading port of Ampesel, Lord Knight," came Princess Griffiin's voice, "This is the First Age, 376 years. β
"Is the Age of Chaos over?" The lightning girl muttered to herself, "Are there still gods and people on the earth?" β
"God's people?"
Everyone looked at each other, what kind of term is this? Even for the player, it's a legendary background.
Owena looked at their faces and understood what was happening. But there was no sadness or joy on her face, she just replied, "I see, I see." β
She looked up and replied, "You said you want to get the approval of the Azure Spear, it's very simple, just defeat me. β
Beat you?
Brando is so hung that he choked on his own saliva, but the other party is the legendary classical hero-level who shatters the sky and brings a new era. Legend has it that the Azure Knight was a hero who lived in the era before the destruction of the Babel Fortress, and almost certainly possessed the power of the Existential Nature, and even in that terrifying era, her power was at the pinnacle.
From this, we can see how terrifying the power of this lightning girl is.
Although he knew that it would not be easy to obtain the Azure Spear - after all, Amber Sword is a game in the first place, and since it is a game, there can be no free lunch - Brando did not expect the conditions of this 'dungeon' to be so simple and demanding.
Defeating the Azure Knight's Heroic Spirit will do the trick.
The question is, is that possible?
Brando could roughly judge from the strength of the previous blow that even his heyday in the game, coupled with the help of other top players in the entire Knights of Grace, might not be able to fight the lightning girl in front of him.
He couldn't help but have a doubt, and asked, "My lord, can I know?" How much strength does your Heroic Spirit have in your lifetime? β
Owena smiled slightly: "You are very smart. Humans also know to find out the strength of their opponents first. But I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you, as long as I'm still in this hall. My strength is equal to the strength of my heyday. β
It was as if they had been punched in the face.
Macaro and the others couldn't help but look at the legendary mage from the Silver Alliance on the side, but William couldn't help but smile bitterly, although his strength was close to the peak of the mortal world. But it's not enough to see in the face of the power of existence.
He shook his head, there was no chance of winning at all.
"It's too much." Princess Griffiin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning and replied, "My lord, how can anyone defeat you?" β
"Half-elf girl, if you can't defeat me, who is qualified to use my weapon?" The lightning girl smiled and replied.
Brando, however, frowned, unlike everyone else, he immediately felt that there was definitely something wrong with this condition.
It is absolutely impossible for a game to set conditions that cannot be completed.
Her Royal Highness the Princess asked very well. Who can defeat the Azure Knight? Not to mention the people present now, even in his time, what player would dare to say that he could defeat the Azure Knight?
Or push it back. As long as you can't master the power of existence. There is no possibility of zΓ i victory.
He thought of the cat in it for a moment.
He looked up, only to see a pair of eyes looking at him. It was a pair of black eyes with a hint of purple sheen. Under the slender eyebrows, the beautiful black hair sets off the heroic face.
The female knight stared at him, the meaning in her eyes already obvious.
But she still reminded with a mouth shape: "Word trap." β
Brando reacted suddenly, and he didn't have time to think about why Nimesis had suddenly thought of it. But he had already raised his head and asked Ovina, "Lord Knight, are you saying that as long as you are in this hall, your strength is equal to the strength of your heyday?" β
The lightning girl was stunned and looked at him.
Brando already knew in his heart: "Lord Knight, as long as I defeat you, can I get the approval of the Azure Spear?" β
"Yes." Owena nodded.
"That's good." Brando suddenly jumped backwards and shouted to the charles, "Charles, dragon strikes!" β
The young wizard squire had already understood the moment his lord spoke, and since Ovina was invincible in this hall, it was time for a different battle. He stretched out his hand to the ground, and the aura of law magic gathered in the palm of his hand in an instant, and the brilliance was dazzling-
"What do you want to do!"
Owena's eyebrows made of lightning furrowed slightly, and then a wave of anger welled up on her face: "I hate opportunistic guys the most! β
As soon as the words fell, her figure completely disappeared from everyone's view, and then Roman's exclamation came: "Brando, behind you!" β
Brando's heart was cold, because ordinary people would definitely be the first to attack Charles in this situation to cancel the spell in his hand. But Owena clearly saw his relationship with Charles, in other words, she knew that he was a traveling mage.
Brando felt the cold in his vest, and he didn't even have any room to resist, a cold, as if it wasn't made of lightning at all, had grabbed the back of his heart.
"Order him to stop!" The voice of the lightning girl was frighteningly cold.
"No, Charles, throw the spell out! What laws are there here, she can't hurt anyone! Brando immediately shouted.
Owena was slightly stunned: "...... How do you know? β
Brando smirked: "Because you stabbed me just now, did you forget?" β
"Did you notice?" The lightning girl's almost white-gold eyes showed an incredible look: "You guy is still a little clever, but you think this will make me have nothing to do?" β
Brando saw a smug sneer on Ovina's face, and he knew it was bad. He followed her gaze, and in that direction, the pillar of light of the dragon strike technique in Charles's hand had already come out of his hand and hit the ground, this hall had been fragile after countless years, and the ground was shattered under this blow alone, and it was about to collapse.
But it was at this time that Owena said coldly: "The power of fate, the reverse current of history." β
Just eight words.
Then a miracle happened.
