The morning sun rises behind the gaps between the branches of the canopy of the trees, and the dew on the leaves reflects the colorful light in the morning light. A group was trekking through the woods, led by a young man dressed in a black woolen coat soaked with overnight dew, with a fir insignia on his neckline and a sword in his hand, frowning at the densely forested valley ahead, none other than Brando, who was leading the Eruin and Cruz through the hills north of the Rokozi Heights, and was now approaching Port Rune, less than a day's journey.

As expected, there has not been much trouble along the way, only occasionally encountering scouts from the Jogandigans, and the army of Jogandigan seems to be really bent on going to Asaph in the north, and has not spent too much attention on the port city in the south, but I don't know what the situation is on the plains, and the large and small villages and settlements distributed outside the port of Rune have not been attacked by the Jogandigans, but the sky in the north does not have the black smoke columns that are common in the Varges area, and the situation is fine.

Brando was waiting for the scouts ahead to return, and his gargoyle was hovering above the clouds, but the intelligence in the mountains and forests still relied on the scouts with their feet, and this was the limitation of flying creatures.

But the White Lion infantry were not professional scouts, and Rogers and his knights were also half-hearted, so it was natural that it would take more time, and Brando became a little restless while waiting, but he didn't dare to show this anxiety on his face, he knew that the Cruz people and the rest of the legation were more dependent on him than ever before, so they had to be more composed. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the hilt of his sword—this sword was not the sword of the earth, and while the dragon queen might not dare to risk attracting Elranta to deal with him, he didn't want to expose his position to the people of Jorgande—as he thought about something inconsequential.

In fact, he'd been thinking about what Magdal had said to him these days.

"The Temple of Flame will not take that queen lightly."

"I don't know exactly why, but this was an agreement made with the Temple when the last emperor of the Cruz abdicated, and the dragons were involved. Perhaps the lady knew better. ”

But Brando knew that Mithriel would never tell him, and the question seemed to come full circle back to square one - what happened at that time when the son of Grantody appointed the Silver Queen as the next emperor of the empire, the answer to this question must have something to do with the last holy war, but the question was precisely the biggest mystery for him. Brando was keenly acute. This time the holy war began on the great plains south of the Four Realms, and St. Osore and Cruz seemed to have deliberately avoided the Alkashi Mountains and the surrounding area, which was the origin of the last holy war.

It seems that this secret can only be known to the parties in the princess's mouth.

Brando shook his head slightly, banishing the idea of a dead end from his mind, and since he couldn't determine the true relationship between the Temple of Flame and the Queen, he had to consider it from this aspect. He sighed slightly, the Silver Queen's completely different actions from history completely disrupted his plans, he had planned to use the lion people as a stepping stone, so that he could be shrouded in the aura of a Cruz hero. Attract the attention of the queen, and then find a way to rescue Akane, if you can not tear your face with the other party, this is naturally the best, even if it is not successful, you can retreat to the line of the emperor's eldest son.

But now, at first, when Qiao Gendigang made a horizontal bar, he could only change the target. Let the cavemen act as stepping stones instead of the lionmen, as long as you hold on to the port of Rune. In the end, the goal can be achieved, although the army of Qiaogendigang people is fierce, it is nothing more than a few difficulties to rise. But I didn't expect that Her Majesty, the queen of the Cruz people, still secretly had a connection with these Qiaogendigan people, and it was even very possible that she was the main messenger behind this qiē, so what was her real intention. Brando was a little confused. ninety

Since it is impossible to confirm what Her Majesty really wants, how can it get her attention?

Especially now the problem is not even just a matter of attention, if it has the opposite effect and arouses hatred, it will be troublesome.

He looked back. Seeing that Kiara was boredly spinning the shiny thing in her hand - it was a ring, typical of the underground style in terms of ornamentation, it was the trophy she had taken from Shagoth, but Brando was unaware of this, and could not help but remind: "Be careful, the people of Georgantigan always like to do things that are harmful to others, they like to use their hands and feet on their equipment, beware of the poisonous needles hidden in the ring, or the poisonous snakes in the armor." ”

The daughter of the Sifah family was obviously startled by his words, and hurriedly stopped what she was doing, staring at the ring with a suspicious look in her blue eyes.

"Don't worry about this ring, you're lucky, this ring happens to be one of the few pieces of equipment that hasn't been tampered with, if it were, you'd have been cold for several hours."

"Do you know this ring?" Chiara didn't feel that Brando was threatening her, and the little girl asked the girl as she raised her ring to the sunlight that passed through the branches.

"I guess I know each other." Brando replied.

"Acquaintance?"

"I'm neither a professional appraiser nor an alchemist, but I've seen this ring before."

"I really can't see it, you're actually quite modest, what does it do, is it a magic item?" Kiara asked curiously.

"Stone Rings, a symbol of the status of the priests of the underworld, some of these high-level goods have magical powers, and can draw the power of earth elements from the dirt to summon small earth elemental golems." Brando looked at the ring on the little girl's hand and introduced her.

"And what about me?" Chiara looked at Brando expectantly.

"It's premium."

"Wow!" Kiara exclaimed in surprise, "How am I going to use it?" ”

Brando gave her a strange look, in the era of Amber Sword, where the player's level was generally between thirty and forty, this ring was very popular, because the small earth element summoned was almost equal to the combat power of a player of the same level, and this thing was equivalent to a personal and absolutely loyal knight of the Silver Guard for an ordinary nobleman who lasted six hours a day. But for Chiara, who was born into a big family like the Sifah family, it seems that she can't be so happy, if she wants it, she can say how many such things are there.

Chiara saw through his thoughts at a glance, and was also very disdainful of this mortal vulgar idea, and snorted softly: "Hmph." Why are you looking at me like that, you know, this is my trophy, and it means a lot different from those things that are taken casually. ”

Then she carefully wiped the ring, then held it up to Brando, "Hey, how am I going to use it?" ”

"Put it on your index finger and use its face to the dirt to say the incantation 'Eaam-'."

Chiara had studied magic herself, and was familiar with these elemental spells, and she recited them in silence. Then he put on the ring and did as he was told, and sure enough, within a moment, he saw the soil layer under the little girl's feet arch slightly, separated, and finally crawled out of a mud-like monster of unknown shape that was about the height of an adult - this was the primary form of the earth elemental puppet, exactly the same as Brando's impression, and he also knew that the more advanced this thing was, the closer it would be to the human form, and after reaching the elemental elder stage, it would become a real giant.

Kiara saw her summon crawl out from beneath the soil. Surprised, she studied it with great interest. Only then did he raise his head and sighed: "I can't see that your guy's knowledge is quite extensive, I thought the rumors about you were all self-boasting!" By the way, are you familiar with magical items, but you said you're not an alchemist, you're obviously familiar with this ring, aren't you? ”

Brando heard this and thought to himself, are you praising people, but the problem is that the person being praised doesn't seem to be happy at all.

He replied truthfully, "I said it." I've only seen this ring by chance, I'm in—"

"Then maybe you've seen something else, I have another thing here, I can't figure out what it's for, or you can help me see it." With a willful wave of her hand, Kiara interrupted Brando's words. It seemed that the latter had seen the ring somewhere, and it didn't matter to her at all.

Brando was about to explain that he was not a jewelry appraiser, but he was stunned when he saw the little girl take it out of her fanny pack.

The golden card in Chiara's hand glittered in the sun, and Brando was sure that he would never be mistaken, it was a fate card, and it was a rare golden rare card, a land card: Halloween's Peak, tapped, and chose to add any element of three points to the elemental pool, and when he saw this card, Charles not far away couldn't help but whistle. Chiara suddenly looked back at him, and then at Brando: "I didn't expect you all to really see this thing, can you sue me, what is it?" ”

This is a land card, and it is also a rare land card that can add any element, and the traveling mage can freely build their own deck - each traveling mage will create their own exclusive creatures, artifacts and powerful spells, but the source of their power, the land card, is derived from thousands of real worlds, except for Vaynd itself, most of these worlds are suspended outside the world of broken planes, from which the traveling mage draws the power of wind, water, fire, earth, light and darkness, and nature to show the world they have built, all the elements, are the cornerstones of the world of the traveling mage.

Therefore, the traveling mage is unable to create zào land cards on his own, unless he can find the real ownerless world during his long journey between worlds, so that he can seal this world into his own cards and become one of his many sources of power, so for the traveling mage, in addition to increasing the number of controllable cards and the capacity of fate cards, an important way to become stronger is to get more land cards.

A traveling mage who directly draws the power of others as a source of his own strength through guò like the dark dragon is an outlier in the world of traveling mages after all.

For Brando, land cards, especially multicolor lands, are what he needs the most at the moment, and after he really entered the elemental realm and even approached the side of truth, the capacity of the library has actually increased further, and now he can find a way to make Andreg or Mordface ready-made real traveling mage cards, but it is precisely because he lacks more mana sources that he can't 'feed' so many cards that he has not taken action; And if a new Brigade Mage card appears, the new Brigade Mage will inevitably have to master more cards, which is undoubtedly a great burden for him.

But with this universal land, it's a lot easier.

Brando couldn't help but take a light breath: "How did you get this thing?" ”

"From someone else's hands." Kiara replied as a matter of course.

Brando mistakenly thought that someone else had given it to the little princess of the royal family of West Phah, and he nodded lightly: "Miss Chiara, if I tell you about its origin." And tell you that this card is very important to me, can you give it to me? ”

"Of course not," Kiara shook her head, "I'm not in the habit of giving things away for nothing," she shook the card in the sunlight and tilted her head to ask, "Is this really important to you?" ”

"Very important," Brando replied, "to put it bluntly, if you get this thing, although I dare not say that it will add some certainty to Rune's next trip, it will reduce the danger a little." But it can be done. ”

"Looks like this stuff is really important to you." Kiara couldn't help but be surprised and replied, "What the hell is it, such a powerful thing, but how come I've never heard of it." ”

Brando thought about it on the surface, but in fact he was mentally exchanging opinions with Charles—a card he and Charles had both heard of, and even discussed, because it used to be one of Tumen's decks, and Tumen's All Things Are One deck was a typical multicolor card, because it was one of his core cards. Most of Tumen's decks are missing from Eruin, and this card is just one of them. But he didn't expect it to fall into Chiara's hand, and to their surprise, the young wizard reminded him that he had to find a way to get the card.

This Peak of All Saints, in the history of the traveling mage, is also one of the most famous rare land cards, and is said to be the peak of all saints in a mature state. It can provide the Brigade Mage with ten points of any element per day.

Charles's answer gave him a reminder, and he thought for a moment before turning to Chiara, "It's a fate card, and few people know about its origins, but some people who practice special faction spells. You can show off the power on top of the cards. ”

The little princess of the Siphach family is very smart, and Brando is so bent on getting this card that he doesn't dare to lie in front of the other side, so he can only answer half-truthfully.

"So, you're the one who practices the spells of the special faction?" Kiara's blue eyes rolled and she asked curiously.

Brando nodded.

"What about me, can I show the power up there?" She asked again.

"Well, I'm afraid not." Brando replied, "Destiny cards are very special magical items, and for those who can't use them, they're no different from a piece of paper in other ways, except for being more tenacious. ”

"Hey, that's boring." Chiara replied a little disappointed, "Then you can take it." ”

Brando was slightly stunned, he didn't expect things to be so simple, and he didn't expect this tricky and eccentric little girl to be so easy to talk to, he couldn't help asking: "You just gave it to me, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" ”

"Two points," Kia stretched out her finger and gestured at Brando, and replied in a serious but milky voice, "First, although you are a bit hateful, you don't seem to be a person who can lie lightly, and if you lie to me because of this thing, then it must be extremely important to you." In that case, you will never be able to tell me the truth, and in the past few days I have not found a second person who knows anything about this thing, which shows that it is indeed very rare, and that I have given this thing to you so generously, and that a person like you must feel that he owes me a favor, and the more generous I am now, the more ashamed you will be in the future, and the more you will repay me—so you must remember that you owe Miss Chiara a favor, and you will repay it in the future. ”

Brando listened to her crooked reasoning with some tears and laughter, and then the latter continued: "Second, I am very happy that you gave me a ring that I like very much, and this card is even if I rewarded you, so you must remember that you will only be good when Miss Ben is happy." ”

Brando thought to himself, are you training a puppy, but for the sake of the cards, forget it, don't care about children in general.

Chiara handed the card to Brando, and then asked, "Can you teach me that spell?" ”

Brando was stunned for a moment, he had expected the other party to ask this question, but in his original assumption, Chiara would use this card to blackmail him, not now, if it was the former situation, he would have a way to deal with it, and now, he thought about the answer to this question for a moment, and decided to answer it truthfully. So he shook his head slightly, "Maybe you'll be one of us, but I can't, but if you can find this card, I think at least the fate card has some connection in the dark." ”

"Really?" After hearing this answer, Chiara couldn't help but sigh slightly like a child: "I've already handed over the card to you, you shouldn't have to lie to me, it seems that I really can't use this card, it's a pity-"

Brando looked at the little white fangs that the little girl showed when she sighed, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart—you had this idea!
