Act 10 The daughters of Isis
"She must be judged, Milos Lord, hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost because of her, in Toquinine, Lozca. They have nothing to do with me, because I can't even empathize with their grief without seeing them with my own eyes, but I think if I have such an opportunity in front of me and do nothing, then I am an accomplice, and I can't accept that emotionally as a human being. It's not about revenge, it's just about seeking justice, because no one can make a mistake without being held responsible. Brando, lying in Freya's arms, looked up at the tall phantom in front of him, and replied calmly. The platform was suspended in a pure black world, surrounded by a square moment of light, and the flickering blue lightning separated the inside and outside into two worlds, and the violent energy turbulence raged in the outside world, but it could not affect the world within the light moment in the slightest. When it comes to the purity of divine power, Milos is ten thousand times better than Dark Kohua.
Milos shook his head in a deep voice, and said in a rumbling voice: "If you kill her, another Kouhua will also die because of it, she is innocent." ”
Brando frowned, wondering if this was true, the Dark Kouhua was unforgivable, but it wasn't unreasonable to say that what she had done had to be held responsible for another Kouhua, but it was a bit too barbaric. The swords of the two were thrown aside, the Lionheart Sword overlapped on the sword of the earth, the dark blade and the silver blade light reflected each other, Brando turned his head, and saw Kou Hua a little farther away, lying weakly in a pool of blood, her long ebony hair spread out on the platform, like a sacrificial sacrifice, she seemed to have foreseen her end, but a pair of blood-colored eyes looked at him with self-hatred, and the resentment contained in it was too deep to be resolved.
Veronica's weak voice came: "But she is not innocent, she and this guy are one and the same. She should have realized this when she separated her dark soul, and it would not be counterintuitive if she were to be judged one day for the deep sins of her other side. Her voice was deep, and there was burning anger in her tone, Rodzka, which was destroyed by Dark Kohua himself, was a city under the rule of the Empire, and no country could remain calm when it was attacked like this. Not to mention such a person as the female corps leader.
"Indeed," replied Milos's rumbling voice, "but she is not guilty of death." ”
"Sin does not unto death?"
"She's just doing my thing, and if it's me, not her, it's not going to change. She is a willful little girl, and although she has done some wrong things, she is not guilty of death. ”
"Then those hundreds of thousands of lives deserve death, Lord Milos!" Veronica asked angrily, and Brando couldn't help but glance at the Legion Leader with some admiration. You must know that this person in front of her is a real god, she dares to ask the other party with such a tone, the so-called imperial soldier's demeanor is probably nothing more than that, the female god of war of the Cruz people has never failed those who trust her.
Milos sighed.
"Bringing the gods back into this world is a mistake in itself, and perhaps it seems to you to be a little too cold. But the awakened must fulfill that promise. Mortal feelings are precious, but unfortunately I can't understand them. I cherish the ordinary, so I don't want to see that happen, but since it's already happened, someone has to be held accountable for it. But that person is not Kou Hua, and anger is pointless, and it does not allow the deceased to truly rest in peace. ”
Brando didn't answer. He had already expected it in his heart.
"This new world is humble, obscurant, full of error and uncleanness in my eyes, and it is not as glorious as the order of the ancients. Nor is it as singable as the Golden Age and the Silver Age," replied Milos's rumbling voice, "but it is precious in your eyes, and that is enough." You still have tomorrow, this is hope, so cherish it and warn others not to repeat the mistakes of the past, to bury the old and the order and the gods forever in history, you no longer need us. ”
His voice grew louder and louder, like thunder intertwined in mid-air, but the thunder rolled and eventually faded away.
Some kind of law in space completely collapsed and disappeared.
"Milos-sama?" Veronica frowned, sensing something.
He approved of Freya's choice. Brando replied softly that mortals could not kill gods after all, but Milos kept that promise, and when Enlek and his party made a choice, he returned to this world, forced to destroy the existing order and reconstruct the glory of the classical era. Whether it is in the hands of Kou Hua or in the hands of others; But there was another myth in Milos's mind, one that had been thinking for thousands of years was more akin to that of a mortal, and he might have seriously thought about what Crystal had said in the Sanctuary in the Clouds, and had agreed with it.
So when Freya made another choice, it responded, disintegrating itself and dissipating from the world.
It's like an azure knight piercing the sky.
This time-
Mortals killed the gods.
Milos says that there must be someone to blame for the mistakes of the world, and that person is it, and it has forgiven Kohua. Although Brando still didn't understand why the two sides who had been on opposite sides understood each other, he looked at the dark Kouhua, the she-wolf no longer looked at him, but looked up at the violent energy turbulence in the darkness, Brando saw her blink vigorously, her eyes were clearly red.
"Hopelessly, the weaker the weaker, the stronger the strong, this is the true meaning of the world, these guys do the opposite, that's why they fail again and again, this is the hypocritical order." She said coldly: "Or if you don't come to war with us with dignity as you did back then, see who is right and who is wrong, who insists on the truth, compromise and retreat, and what kind of hero is a hero." ”
"So isn't it worth rejoicing that you have one less enemy, one step closer to your truth?" Brando glanced at her and replied lightly. The Father of the Frost Giants had chosen to take responsibility for this, and it was impossible for him to hold Dark Kohua accountable, as Milos had said, and although she was at fault, she was not guilty to death. But this guy's attitude and way of speaking is really annoying. I really don't know how her character was developed.
Kou Hua sighed faintly: "My enemies, at least once were righteous men and gentlemen, and it was an honor to fight them, but now there are only you despicable villains left, and I feel unworthy for myself. ”
"yes, and the scumbag is coming to kill you now." Brando couldn't help but threaten angrily.
"You, you dare. You promised Milos! ”
Dark Kou Hua's eyes widened, and his beautiful blood-colored eyes stared at him in surprise and inexplicably, exactly the same as the look he had at that time. But now it is no longer under the beneath the Dead Frost Forest, nor under the divine power of Milos, but in the Hall of Trees of New Valhalla, the sun is shining, and through the tall arched colored windows, warm but mottled colors blend into the atmosphere of the whole hall, and dust settles up and down under the beams of light. Brando put down the Wen Jiàn in his hand, raised his hand and nodded his forehead, and then pointed to the other party's snow-white forehead: "That's it?" ”
Dark Kou Hua's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Brando: "You, you are embarrassed to say, do you know how painful it was when the stab came in, I didn't understand girls at all, and I lost so much blood, and I died of disgust." ”
Nimesis and the kind-hearted Kouhua were inexplicably surprised to hear this. The two of them looked at him at the same time with a serene gaze that made Brando feel creepy, as if they had reacquainted themselves with the lord.
"Your Excellency. What did you do to my sister? The kind-hearted Kou Hua was still menacing in the previous sentence, but he lowered his head in the second sentence, as if he was a little embarrassed, and his face was red to the base of his neck: "I'm sorry, I mean, if you want to do anything to my sister before." Please ask for my permission first...... It's a bit embarrassing to say that, but because I'm a twin with her, I'll feel the same way. ”
Brando was almost choked to death by the pair of singing and harmonizing sisters, and glared fiercely at Dark Kouhua, "Don't talk nonsense. It's really in your body right now, and you're going to have to work for me until then, unless you think about digging it out and giving it back to me. Dark Kou Hua's face turned pale, she subconsciously gestured with her hand on her forehead, after losing Milos's godhead, the power of the Moon of Lies (1) was on the kind Kou Hua again, at this moment she was actually no different from an ordinary human girl, to dig out such a thing from her forehead, wouldn't it be directly killed. But she hesitated, but still asked weakly, "Dig that thing out, will you let me go?" "No, it won't." "Then die!" Dark Kou Hua replied through gritted teeth.
She replied with some bitterness: "I have no strength, no different from a mortal, what is the use of you asking me to come?" Dark Kou Hua seemed to suddenly think of something, his face changed, he looked at Brando with eyes as beautiful as agate, opened his mouth slightly and said in horror: "You won't be really greedy......" "Shut up!" Brando interrupted the whimsical creature angrily: "What I need is your knowledge, I don't think anyone else in this world can match your knowledge of things and history before the era." ”
"You mean ancient things?" Kou Hua's face changed, and his expression turned cold: "You want to get the secret about Dusk from me, don't you think, even if you kill me, I will definitely not betray Lord Dusk Dragon." ”
Brando looked at the somewhat resolute dark Kou Hua, he didn't expect her to have such a side, but he shook his head: "I'm not that interested, I only care about the moment, I have something here, please help me identify it." As he spoke, he took out a few items from the dimensional cave and put them on his desk. Kou Hua's face changed when he saw the first thing, it was a pair of gloves. The silver silk gloves were inlaid with pearls, and on the back of the hand was a strange circle surrounded by blood-red gemstones, and the silver thread extended to the tips of the five fingers. Then she turned her gaze to something else, and couldn't help but bite her lower lip as she watched the anger in Brando's eyes.
A cuirass with a relief of a double-headed eagle etched on the surface of the armor, the peculiar thing is that this armor does not seem to exist in the present world, its state always seems to be constantly switching, obviously placed in front of the eyes, but it gives people a feeling of being far away in the sky.
Then there was a bow, the grip of the bow was the head of a demon, and the four pairs of long horns of the demon extended to the sides, forming the bow arms, the bow did not have strings, but there was a faint light purple mark interlaced between the bow arms.
The fourth item is a walking stick, which looks a bit like a mace, as its head is a stone cross with a statue of the goddess Gaia. This thing is very common in the Earth Temple, and it is the scepter commonly used in the Earth Temple's sacrifices, but this one is very different. Because there are four glittering runes on the cane, which Brando happens to know, the original runes called the law of the earth, and these runes don't look like fakes, then the origin of this cane is very doubtful.
Finally, a cavalry sword. The structure of the entire sword is simple, and it looks like the work of the elves, but the pod gauntlet of the sword has a relief of the king of the fire elves.
Of the five pieces of equipment, Brando only recognized one of them, and that was the glove, the Dragon's Mystery. The glove has almost the same effect as Bahamut's Blessing, except for a lady's item, but the difference is that Bahamut's Blessing is more defensive, while Dragon Mystery's role is more offensive. In addition to being able to complete instant alchemy like Bahamut's blessing, the mystery of the dragon can also be called the magic circle spell instant formation, the magic circle spell is the strongest effect among the magic of all elements, but the most inflexible and cumbersome spell, because almost all the magic circle is a ritual spell, not only need to draw the magic circle in advance, but some also need multiple people to complete the ritual, and the mystery of the dragon. It happens to be called the magic weapon of the magic circle.
Therefore, Bahamut's blessing is only a fantasy piece of equipment, while the dragon's mystery is an ancient artifact. There is only a thin line of difference between it and the secondary artifact.
Kou Hua looked at these things, as if a raging fire burned in her chest, and she looked at Brando as if she was about to breathe fire: "These are my things!" ”
"Now it's my booty." Brando replied.
"You expect me to tell you how to use them?" Dark Kou Hua gritted his teeth in anger, as if he was squeezing this sentence out of his teeth.
"Kou Hua, you're not willing to be a mortal, are you?" Brando suddenly asked, "Even if I let you go, with your beauty." Outside, he can only become the plaything of the powerful. I believe that you will never be reconciled to this, you are a person who has the ability to control your own destiny, and you will never be willing to send people under the fence, you were once high, and mortals are like ants in your eyes. I believe that once someone has tasted that sweet taste, they will not be willing to be lonely. ”
"Aren't I sending people under the fence now," Dark Kou Hua replied hatefully, but then her eyes rolled slightly, and she smiled charmingly: "But I have heard of the history of your human race, and there are many demon queens who have played with power in history, and I believe that with my qualifications and wisdom, it seems that it is not difficult to do that." Hehe, when the time comes, I will fight against you and see how you can perform this play. ”
Brando was a little speechless for a moment, he thought about it, it seemed that there was really such a possibility, he couldn't help but wonder if this woman had been specially sent to oppose him, at least until now, she had caused him a lot of trouble. But he immediately realized that this was impossible, because the dark Kou Hua was not that kind of person, if she wanted to flatter and please men, it would be better to kill her, seeing through this guy's trick, he calmed down again, shook his head and replied: "Why bother, Miss Kou Hua, the heart of calamity is in you, in fact, it can be regarded as the return of things to its original owner, with it, you can also regain the power to create a legend." ”
"Calamity?" Kou Hua was slightly stunned, and looked at Brando inexplicably: "What kind of calamity heart do you say?" ”
"Nature is the heart of Esis's calamity."
"You mean the heart of Aesi's calamity, Lord Count?" It was not the dark Kou Hua who spoke, but her sister, the kind-hearted Kou Hua, the girl who had been watching her sister and the Count Toniguel fight without opening her mouth, and for the first time there was a look of surprise on her face. Brando looked at her with some confusion, wondering how this thing had caught her attention again.
"Ahh Dark Kou Hua suddenly sighed, as if she realized something, only to see her frown, as if sensing something. When Brando saw her expression, she knew that she might not have even explored what the thing on her forehead was, perhaps because she subconsciously thought that it was just a trap that Brando had planted for her, or because she had lost her strength, she had no thoughts at all.
But for a moment, she raised her head and stared at Brando with blood-colored eyes, her eyes extremely complicated.
"Mother's key...... Mother's key......" she muttered to herself, as if both happy and a little strange, "You actually gave me this thing just to harm me?" ”
The girl couldn't help but look at Brando playfully: "Mortals are really stupid, you actually gave me this thing." Do you know what this is? Mother shepherds wolves and under the moon, this is the key to the door to that world, you actually handed it over to me with your own hands, giggles, Brando, this time you are dead! ”
Brando was slightly startled, thinking that he had been surprised by his estimation of the potential of Isis's Calamity Heart.
"Sister, the key doesn't make sense until it grows up, it's a long process, don't scare the earl." The kind-hearted Kou Hua hurriedly reminded kindly.
"Don't demolish me, stupid!" Dark Kou Hua shouted angrily.

Notes: The power comes from the Moon of Lies, 'Kohua', who is the eldest daughter of Isis.
