Act 189: Final Hour (5)

The forest was quiet, and Brando rarely heard the sound as he lifted the clumps of vines as he walked through the trees, and sometimes even the birds rarely flew over their heads.

Looking ahead from the direction he was now in, behind the stacked leaves was an open basin vista, a dense forest like a dazzling biyù lying in the midst of the mountains, the terrain gradually lowering towards the center, forming an inward.

Further afield, in the center of the basin was the magnificent tree, whose roots expanded in all directions, forming a mountain-like undulation, the nearest of which stretched in this direction to less than a mile.

Andesa and her accomplices should have already arrived there, he didn't dare to get too close, the withered lord was half a druid after all, and had many advantages in any forest.

He took two NVs along a xiǎo road—the traces of which had been left in the grass, and although it had long since been lost in time—the artificially carved slabs scattered in the dense forest silently told of the past.

Brando looked up, and all that was left was the dense aerial roots hanging from the towering trees and the thick bushes beneath his feet, and the gray-green plants clinging to the waxy rocks on both sides of the road, and only occasionally through the cracks in the roots could there be traces of words on the flat side of the rock.

But it's all eroded to the point where it can't be seen.

If Brando is not mistaken, those words should belong to the people of silver. Of course, it is not the ancient jīng language or the shaman's language, the ancient people who lived in Valhalla should have long been annihilated in the long river of history, and there is not a word about who they really are.

However, Brando guesses that the Silver People may be inextricably linked to the Children of the Forest, and that Eruin now has their legacy throughout the South.

But for some reason, there is no description of Valhalla's past, and in fact Silver Jīng Ling and Valhalla almost have a common place of origin; Brando also asked Princess Yin Jīng Ling Xiǎo, but the answer he got did not go beyond what he originally knew.

As Medisha said, Valhalla's age should be much older than the Silver Jīng Spirit, and that the Silver Jīng Spirit, the Mist Spirit, and the Moon Jīng Spirit, along with their common Jīng Spirit, appeared in the era dominated by the Dark Dragon after the split of the World Tree.

And Valhalla was already a legend long before the history of the Battle of Dusk. In the current Vaughnde, the Dragon of Dusk has long been an ethereal symbol, and most ordinary people know about this big devil, but they also know that it is dead.

The story that happened in that myth --

Only the Templar monks and players know a bit about Hún's forces, but they are only dealing with cultists acting in the name of Twilight.

Not to mention that the battle between heaven and earth in the Holy Covenant, even the battle with the dark sage, is an unattainable history.

Not to mention the legends that existed at the same time as the dragon of dusk, such as Valhalla, such as the knight of Azure Sè and the epic of the firmament, have long become songs and stories in the mouth of Yín's poets.

"If I'm not mistaken, those are words, right?"

Faina asked in a voice behind him, since this noble daughter didn't dare to go back alone, she simply relied on Brando. She could see that although Brando was not submissive to her like the other aristocratic youths, and always had trouble with her, at least he wouldn't really do anything to her.

"Won't you see for yourself?" Brando replied angrily.

"But I remember that the last time the Eruin opened up the wilderness was fifty-three years ago, it was Baron Rumman from the House of Vieiro, and he was also the last pioneer knight of Eruin. The book says that before that there was a real Black Forest south of Denel, the Borderlands, where no civilization had ever owned...... But if these are really words, and prove that there was once a civilization here, then the ring of the trade winds is the land that once declined, not the natural Black Forest. Isn't that wrong in the book? ”

"You don't look at me like that, my Imperial Chronicles subject is excellent, and I have even won Feng? Master Hain's commendation! Facing Brando's gaze, the nobleman's daughter replied a little uncomfortably......

"Is it the dwarven master who claims to be able to interpret the Poetry of the Firmament?" Brando asked.

"Is it part of the interpretation, and in addition to von? Although Master Hain is a dwarf, he has become a citizen of the Empire. Faina lifted her chin a little smugly, unconsciously revealing her identity tag.

"But doesn't he know that the Druids lived in the Black Forest five hundred years before the Eruins, so what does it mean that south of the Denel is borderland?" Brando scoffed.

"Hey! That, that doesn't count, the druids don't have a need for land! ”

"Yes, would the Cruz dare to use this as an excuse to expel all the druids on their borders? Isn't the territory of the empire expanded again, and congratulations! ”

"Y-you-"

Compared to this, what really caused Brando's displeasure was that the imperial chronicles in Faina's mouth actually included the history of Eruin, which is why this sister Xiǎo knew so much about Eruin's past.

The people of the Empire never regarded Eruin as an independent country, in fact, he knew very well that in the eyes of the Cruz Empire, especially the nobles who held imperial political views, Eruin was more of an overseas domain of the Empire.

It's this arrogance that makes every Eruin player unbearable.

Of course, Brando wasn't going to be overwhelmed with a xiǎonv kid who didn't know anything, he just stepped back on the nobleman's daughter's newly cocked xiǎo tail to prevent her from getting carried away. Then the young lord looked back at the lush green forest.

This xiǎo road in the forest does not exist independently.

The road had always been meant to connect the rest of the 'city' that had been in the forest, and although Brando didn't know that the road led to that area, it didn't take long for them to realize it.

After parting the heavy bushes, the road leads to a remnant abandoned in the woodland, and the first thing that catches their eye is the tall rock-heaped buildings, which stand silently in the clearing, surrounded by a quiet green sè.

But no sooner had Brando emerged from a bush than he felt Phonia pull her hand.

He immediately shrank back in alarm, and then asked in a loud voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"There are bad guys." The xiǎonv child looked at him and replied with a mouth shape.

"Where?"

Funia pointed outside, and Brando followed her hand and saw that she was referring to the tallest building in the ruins. Brando looked over and immediately noticed the anomaly.

The bunch of plants on the roof of that building seemed odd.

Brando gasped suddenly—for he realized that it wasn't a plant at all, but Andessa. That NV man is extremely well hidden, and as her half-druid talent is melted into the forest, it is really difficult for ordinary people to notice.

It's just a pity that this time her opponent is the nv of the forest, and Funia, who is favored by the god of Nia nv-

But even so, Brando was still scared into a cold sweat, and now he realized that it was a wise choice not to send Funia back, and the benefits of fighting in the forest with the help of the forest nv god were simply too many.

"Shh Brando immediately gestured to Faina, who was following behind.

Then he looked out again, it was supposed to be a bazaar, which Brando recognized from the circular layout, the tallest building was undoubtedly the temple of the god of trade, which must have been quite prosperous in the days when the gods still existed in the past.

And at this moment Andesa was standing on the roof of that temple.

You have to know that as a proper cultist, you have never had a good opinion of any god, and you don't need to have the most basic respect - although the gods of Vaughnd have blessed humanity throughout history before the War of the Sages.

Fayna also saw Andelsa, and she was startled: "Why is she here?" The aristocratic daughter hurriedly looked at Brando and asked with a mouth shape.

"If you have a bit of intelligence, you know she's looking for us." Brando replied with a gesticule.

Shao NV took a breath and complained, "It's all your fault, so I said earlier that we should go back!" ”

Brando glanced at this NV man angrily, thinking to himself that I didn't stop you from leaving. However, he didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who had a relapse in his temper, so he simply replied with a mouth shape:

"I'm sorry, I can't understand such a complicated mute language."

Faina froze.

However, unlike the big xiǎo sister who was worried and uneasy, Brando felt that this was an opportunity, if Andesa had been in front, he really couldn't find any chance to reach the core area of Valhalla first, since the other party had stopped.

Then it was his chance to compete for the first move.

Brando looked up, he didn't see the NV man's companion, but he must have been in the bazaar. He looked out and noticed the exit on the other side of the bazaar, and it dawned on him why Andesa had chosen to stop at this place.

For he found that there was a high wall in that place, which was made of the same stone as the buildings, and was also covered with vines and roots, and most of it was lost in the canopy, so that it could not be noticed from a distance.

But Brando, as he looked closely at the barricade, couldn't help but gasp.

If he guessed correctly, the tall wall must have encircled the direction of the World Tree, and its two ends were connected to the two mountain-like roots of the World Tree, forming a natural arc of protection.

Behind that wall, there were several inner walls, which were supposed to be fan-shaped cities, and the idea of building a fortress under the World Tree with huge roots was extremely ingenious.

If Brando was the lord at this moment, he would be extremely satisfied, but now he only felt bitter when he saw this scene.

Because the only exit from the wall is at the other end of the bazaar.

If nothing else, Andesa should be monitoring that direction, although this NV person doesn't understand what this place is for, but it is obviously not too simple-minded to be one of the twelve patriarchs of the shepherd.

At least her current judgment is the most accurate, and if it weren't for Funia, I'm afraid he would have been discovered by this NV man at this moment.

However, history has no ifs, and now that Brando has discovered Andesa first, then he has at least some hope of defeating the other side.

But how do you get through the bazaar?

Brando had some headaches.
