Brando glanced at the knife-sharp mountain wall in the distance, and turned back for Roman to put on the Ring of the Web. He found that the Merchant's perception was surprisingly sensitive, and this ring could further enhance her ability.

Roman had coveted this beautiful black and white ring for a long time, and was naturally full of joy at the moment, but he still asked curiously, "Is this also a magic ring, Brando?" ”

"Well, it allows you to hear better. Keep an eye on the underground and alert Freya if there's any movement. I will be back soon. "Brando knew that in this valley there was a stone cone worm in addition to the Golden Demon Tree, which also came from the earth elemental plane, and was a rare elite in the game, and once suddenly appeared and made him almost scramble.

"Are there any other enemies?" The two girls spoke together.

"Possibly, prepared, isn't it?" Brando was also embarrassed to pretend to be a prophet, the point was that it was difficult to explain later, so he could only answer vaguely.

Freya nodded understandingly, holding the sheathed sword in front of Roman with both hands, and said, "I will protect Roman, please go and come back quickly." ”

"Huh?" Brando gave her a surprised look. He felt a little overwhelmed when the girl had been so cooperative, but it didn't look like there was some conspiracy - he hesitated and put down his backpack, pulled out a roll of rope and hook from it, looked at the two girls again, and then carefully climbed out.

"Freya, is it okay for Brando to go out alone?" Roman asked in a whisper.

"Brando has his own plans, and we can't help much, we just need to let him not worry about this."

"Freya?"

Freya shook the long ponytail at the back of her head, and her bright eyes showed a serious look. She didn't admit defeat, but she could only do so much with her own strength - the future Valkyrie seriously thought that her strength might not be enough, and that she had to be more strict with herself to become a captain.

She let out a sigh of relief, clenching her sword close to her chest, making up her mind.

On the other side, Brando was walking along the steep mountain wall with a rope on his back, and he should still be dozens of meters away from the gap in the rock wall in his impression. He couldn't help but take a breath and look behind him, fortunately, the Golden Demon Tree and its servants and descendants all relied on sound and magic fluctuations rather than vision to find their targets, otherwise his position would be very conspicuous.

He grabbed a protruding rock, and the sand rustled down the gap between the stones, but it wasn't a sound. He was only worried that he would make a big move, so he tried to slow down his movements as much as possible.

There are less than thirty meters left, and it's almost there.

He didn't drop any more soul crystals along the way, but Brando knew he had one last chance. There's a treasure in the gap up there - no, it's not quite right to say that there's a treasure too. Although the player refers to the hidden places where Qiē provides items and resource rewards as treasures, he knows that the treasures there are actually relics.

According to the plot of the game, about ten years ago, an adventurous young nobleman named Borg Nesson came to this canyon, and he and his companions were separated by the attack of the Devil Treemen.

He left behind the belongings and tokens he carried with him, and with the tokens, he could also go to Pragues to complete a mission, although the reward was meager, but it was at least better than nothing for Brando at that time.

However, the property left by the little nobleman is very interesting, because it is random, and if you are lucky, you can open anything. The best of Bbrande's best was the rough amber ever opened. Of course, he didn't expect this thing this time, as long as he could open the soul crystal, it would be good, because in his memory, the chance of the soul crystal coming out here was quite large.

He quickly crawled into the crevice, which was actually very shallow, but it was difficult to spot from the outside. As soon as he touched it, he saw the unlucky nobleman's skeleton lying to the side, and surprisingly every detail was the same as in the game, almost giving him the illusion that he was still in the same world as before.

Brando quickly calmed down, though, and he carefully walked around the skeleton, his gaze resting on a small pocket next to him. But he was slightly stunned, for he saw a dusty, dry, brittle piece of parchment lightly placed on the sack.

There's no such thing in the game.

He gently picked up the parchment and found that it was a suicide note, on which only a few short paragraphs were written:

'Martha is above, and I may die soon. If I pass away and someone is lucky enough to see this page, I would like to legally transfer all my belongings to this person. In addition, I have a secret ancestral property, which I would like to divide into three, one for this man, one for my wife, Sadie, and one for my daughter (the following words are indistinct)......

If the person who sees this testament is interested in this wealth, please pass it to my wife along with my token, and tell her 'a date at the Baden ball', and she will understand what I mean.

Finally, I'm sorry for Sadie, and may Lord Martha punish me—'

After reading it, Brando couldn't help but be stunned. He became more and more sure that he had never seen this thing before, and that the previous mission line was just to remove the seal ring from the nobleman's finger bone and hand it over to the citizen registry office in Pragus, and he would receive a bounty. This is the end of the questline, and there is no follow-up.

But what is the reason for this? Is it because it's different from the game? Brando shook his head, he instinctively didn't want to believe this judgment, at least every point he had found before was perfectly matched, didn't it, there was no reason why there was an exception here. So what is the reason?

He thought for a moment, and suddenly it occurred to him that it was the first person who discovered that had such a mission? There are many unique quests and first quests in Amber, but this is also the case in dungeons? This has never been mentioned.

He hesitated for a long time, so he could only carefully fold the suicide note and the seal ring together, and then put them close to his body. He thought the task seemed familiar, and perhaps someone had done it back then—but unfortunately the part of the suicide note about the other person's daughter's name and home address had become obscure, otherwise the task would have been simple and straightforward.

However, Brando doesn't care about this, the more troublesome the quest is, the richer the rewards. It would be better to start with the burgher's registry in Pragues, at least he knew two clues - the name of the nobleman and the name of his wife. And that's all for the future, and now he has to face his own problems.

Putting away the suicide note, he began to examine his loot. There were two rubies in the bag, and some coins were worth about thirty silver coins, which was a lot of money. There is also a pipe, a dull gray stone flake, and a glass bead. Brando poured out these things, flipped through them more carefully, and was disappointed to find that there were no soul crystals, which made him sigh.

If it was in the game, these gains would have been quite good, but now he needed not materials or money, but items that could instantly increase his strength. But disappointed to disappointed, Brando still swept all these things into his pocket, he didn't have time to check what was useful, those were just decorations, sundries, anyway, he was safe first.

After cleaning the booty, Brando glanced at the skeleton again and then went back the way he came, and when he returned to the crevice in the stone where Roman and Freya were, he was visibly relieved to see the two girls.

"Brando, you're finally back. You're not there, I'm nervous and Freya, and there's no sound around, quiet. Roman patted his small chest and let out a sigh.

"Don't get involved with me—" Freya blushed.

"I'm just going to check the situation around, there's only one patrol outside, and we're going to do our best to kill them."

"Are we going out?"

"We can also wait until it's a little later and leave at the exit on the other side of the trail. That would avoid fighting, but it might be a bit of a time crunch. Brando replied.

"How tight is it?" Freya asked.

"It's about two hours late."

The girl was stunned: "How far is it from here to Lidenberg?" The furthest she had ever been away from home since she was a child was to Webin, and although I often heard it from adults, it was only an impression.

"Let's put it this way, if we're two hours late, we'll have to race against the undead army of Madara." Brando looked at Roman: "We may get to Reedenberg first, but there is not much time left." ”

"Shall we go out and kill that tree faster?" She asked.

"There's a secret passage behind there, which was dug out by merchants in the past to avoid checkpoints, and I've read it in the municipal literature of Pragues, when I was in the Pragues militia regiment—" Our protagonist lied without blushing or beating his heart. However, he didn't lie to Freya about the secret passage, but he only learned about it in the game.

Freya looked at him suspiciously.

"Is that tree dangerous?" She pointed outward.

"It's very dangerous, we have a half-chance of failing." Brando replied sternly, though he was eager to take a gamble to kill the Golden Tree - but he also told Sù that he had to tell Freya how much they had to risk, because he had to take responsibility for the lives of three people.

In a team, everyone has the right to make a choice for their own life, which is the basic rule of Amber Sword. No one can force anyone.

Freya was silent.

"Roman, what about you?" She asked.

Roman shook his head: "I like to take risks, my life is to be used to do meaningful things." ”

Freya withdrew her gaze and nodded, "I see, Brando, please take us to defeat it." If I fail, I won't regret it. ”

Brando smiled, he didn't expect Freya's reaction to be so big: "It's not so strict, I'll tell you how to deal with it." But let's deal with that patrol first, the six Devil Tree Men, you're already familiar with them, but this time we're going to end the fight in an instant. ”

Then he led the two of them to the edge of the stone crevice, and when he looked out, he could clearly see the heirs of the Golden Demon Tree. Brando gestured a range: "Let's sneak through here, watch me gesture to launch a surprise attack, and try to be as slow as possible before starting a fight, so that they don't detect our voice." ”

"We have at least half an hour, so there's no rush."

"Freya."

"Yes."

"Roman and I attacked from the right, you ducked under the rock on the left, and when we attacked, you attacked the two at the back - do you remember their weakness?" Brando let Roman and himself side in order to protect her, but also to relieve Freya's pressure, after all, this businessman lady has no combat power.

Freya nodded, the weakness of the Demon Tree People lies in their limbs, because their sensory organs are all on their limbs, and without them they are completely threatened. However, she was a little nervous, they had used some unexpected tactics against the Demon Tree people before, such as falling stone traps or something, and this time they had to go head-to-head, and they had to end the battle in an instant - she wasn't worried about whether Brandor would be able to do it.

But can you do it yourself? Freya wasn't sure.

Brando glanced at her, knowing what she was thinking. Every newbie has one kind of problem, and although Freya should be considered an 'NPC', she should not be an exception. He thought for a moment and encouraged, "Don't worry too much, your Wind Back Body Armor is very restrained against them, you should let go of your hands and feet to attack-"

Freya nodded.
