Act One Hundred and Eight: Emblem of Natural Affinity VII
The emblem of natural affinity, or the seal of the earth.
Brando's knowledge of it was limited to the fact that it was a token of Elranta, and that the emblem had been given by the Sage to several people close to her - including several of the Grand Druids of the World Ring - and other than that, the rumors of it in Vawend's world were more like ethereal legends. Some say it's a holy relic like the Queen's Ring,
Others say that it is just a special symbol, which only has a role in reputation and status.
But now it seems that the brooch-like emblem is definitely more powerful than any rumors about it.
Just in front of Brando, he saw a green light spread out from the elf, forming a light mask, pushing away the silver light in Tiamat's grip from the inside out, he only now saw that the silver light was originally a disembodied light chain, but it was now under the confrontation of the natural affinity emblem, it was being blocked outside the light mask, this scene has been very clear, the natural affinity emblem is positive
Protecting the elves.
In Vauld's world, there are many trigger-type protective items, and there is a very high-level one of them, which can even actively 'resurrect', 'teleport' or temporarily shelter the protector in the half-plane of other dimensions.
The problem was that the mask was blocking a real artifact, even the ancient artifact recorded in the myths and legends of the Cruzians, Tiamat's Grip, which was also inaccessible outside the light curtain produced by the Natural Affinity Emblem.
In fact, the power of the natural affinity emblem is far from as simple as it seems.
At the same time that the green aura spread outward, Brando also vaguely felt the vibration produced by another line of law, this vibration was so familiar to him, because it should be a certain kind of spatial law, this vibration was very vague, when he was still wondering if he had made a mistake in perception. And the dragon queen on the opposite side, Gwendolin's feeling was actually more obvious, she was anxious
The drastic change in his face quickly answered the question that Brando was thinking about.
"Why is this thing here-!" The dragon queen exclaimed.
Then, under Brando's astonished gaze, the dragon queen suddenly withdrew the attack of Tiamat's grasp, and she glanced up with some trepidation—and at the same moment, an inexplicable force spread over the big hive, calm and composed. But with an inviolable majesty, it is like a pair of calm and simple eyes, condescending to the darkness
What happened underground, under this gaze, no one could afford to resist.
Whether it is Brando, who can face Malthus and Gwendoline, or the dragon queen herself-
Brando instantly understood who this gaze was coming from.
I'm afraid there is only one person in this world, who can make the dragon queen Gwendoline show such a look with just one look.
The Dragon Queen Gwendoreen frowned, a look of chagrin and regret. She glanced at the elf hatefully, then at Brando. But his lips moved, and he didn't even have the courage to say a cruel word, so he turned around and shot into the depths of the cave, and when Brando and Chiara reacted, the dragon queen was only left with a back in the dark, only
In a matter of moments, she disappeared without a trace.
The darkness of the cavern was eerily quiet for a moment.
Dragons' coercion. The terrifying deterrent power of the artifact, and the oppressive feeling of imminent death—these senses, which were real until a moment, are now like an illusion. All of a sudden, it vanished.
Brando vaguely understood in his heart why Gwendorin left suddenly, and her jealousy was not only a natural affinity emblem on the elf's body, but the message that the natural affinity emblem sent to the unknown space later, if he guessed correctly, the final destination of that message was in the World Tree Hall of the World Ring - that is, the sage Ellantazi
He has never left a single abode since the Great Holy War.
And then there was a moment when that terrible aura belonged to it, and it was self-evident.
Gwendoline's sudden retreat was not an indication that she was timid. On the contrary, in Brando's opinion, this choice is very wise and reasonable, she obviously recognizes the natural affinity emblem on the elf, and also clearly knows the role of this emblem, so she will have such a big reaction.
Brando vaguely guessed the origin of the emblem.
It should indeed be a token of Elranta.
But it's not.
Because they are the leaves of the World Tree.
The Nature Affinity Emblem turned out to be the leaves of the World Tree - the leaves of the legendary World Tree had a permanent connection to its trunk, no matter where they were scattered in the world. But where the leaves come from, where they end up - Brando knows that there's a saying in the game that in Amber Sword, players are keen to find out how to improve with those games
The method of the relationship between the legendary NPCs in the play, because most of the tasks related to these NPCs are some hidden high-level, even epic quests.
But of all the NPCs, the most difficult to approach and figure out is undoubtedly the sage Elranta.
Elranta's reputation, needless to say, the entire Vaughn, all the players, no one will not know, if there is a human in this world - whether it is the Silver People or the Black Iron Race - if this person can be called the apex of the world, then she must be Elranta.
Both in the early and late stages of the game, there are countless people looking for ways to get close to the Sage.
But without exception, they all failed.
In fact, since the Great Holy War, the Sage Elranta lived in the courtyard of the World Tree, the center of the World Ring, and has not set foot outside of it, except for the sage's stars that twinkle in the night sky, which proves that she is still alive, no one has seen the Sage for a thousand years.
But the wild elves could not and would not put the sage under house arrest, so the only plausible reason was that the sage himself had closed himself off.
But is she really ignorant of the outside world?
Players speculate that this may not be the case, otherwise in the fourth chapter against the head wolf Isis. The druids of the World Ring would not have made such a proper move, and although the sage still did not show up in the end, everyone was speculating whether the sage had secretly participated in the tragic war.
Now it seems.
The answer is yes.
The reason lies in the leaves of these World Trees.
These World Leaves are the eyes of the Sage Elranta, and there may not be many of them in the world, but every single one. They are all kept by the people closest to Elranta, who on the one hand protect these people, and on the other hand, they also observe the world through them. Although he didn't understand why the other party would do this, Brando was almost willing
Certain, who is this little elf in front of him.
She couldn't be a druid, of course.
Therefore, it must be inseparable from the royal family of the wild elves.
He was thinking about this when the voice of St. Osor after the wind rang in his head: "Brando." ”
"Lady of the Wind?" Brando was slightly stunned, and then understood why this queen of wind, who had always been elusive for a while, suddenly appeared, obviously. She felt the familiarity, too. For them, the Sage was nothing more than an unattainable being, and for this one who was stored in the Ring of the Wind Queen
As far as your soul is concerned, it was once her closest comrade-in-arms, her old friend in the past.
"Do you feel it, Lady Queen?" Brando asked.
"You guessed it right, it was her," replied Saint-Osor, "and she was aware of my existence as well." ”
Brando was slightly stunned. He hadn't thought about it, but since Elranta had sensed the presence of the wind. That should obviously have noticed him, too.
Noticed by a sage, he really couldn't say whether it was good or bad for a while.
After all, no player in the last history could have done such a thing - such an opportunity was a dream for players, but they would never have imagined that the opportunity would be on top of the Ring of the Queen of the Wind and the Affinity of Nature Emblem, and either of them alone would probably not cause this story. It's a rare opportunity, but for that
Engraved Brando is not necessarily a good thing. When it comes to the relationship with the higher the level of existence, in addition to the interests, there are often greater troubles hidden behind it.
According to the game's parlance, this task is likely to be difficult.
However, Brando didn't think about it for the time being, and Elranta couldn't come to him for a while anyway. However, the other party did help him scare away Gwendoline, at least relieving the urgent need. What's more, Lord Fenghou took the initiative to come to him, and I am afraid that he also came to mention Jian Yì to him - you must know that even when facing the Dragon Queen, this sage Lord was too lazy to pay attention to his half a sentence, according to
Her theory is that she is not Brando's babysitter, but her teacher, so she can impart Brando's knowledge, but she will never protect him at such a time.
Brando, though sometimes found this a bit annoying, anyone would have hoped that a sage would always be available to help him—both in terms of her experience and practical abilities, but he understood the painstaking efforts of the other man.
Of course, the elven royal sister is not always silent, watching Brando's good show, and when the time comes, she will always mention this 'proud protégé' in her.
"She did notice you, but not because of my existence, the secret of the Ring of the Queen of the Wind, which Elranta knew back then, and it wasn't even a secret to her - and the reason why she noticed you, I'm afraid I don't need to say more." Saint-Osor said to Brando.
"What is the reason?" As soon as Brando spoke, he suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question, but he couldn't help but frown: "...... Did she see it? ”
"More or less, he and we are old rivals after all, and we are both very sensitive to his heritage." Saint-Osor replied.
Brando's face changed, although St. Osor's attitude towards Odin made him have some different speculations about the relationship between these sages and the dark dragon - in the general historical definition, the relationship between the four sages and the dark dragon is naturally not the same, but it turns out that it may not be so unbearable. Thinking about it, the four sages were students of Tumen after all. And the Atlas Gate
The relationship with the Dark Dragon, their relationship with the Dark Dragon may not be as bad as the official mouth.
It now appears that the dispute between the two sides is mostly a moral one, not a matter of personal disgust. However, the Four Sages are four different individuals after all, and Saint-Osor's views do not speak for the others, and legend has it that Geert is the most radical of the four. Elranta has the most generous personality, and the question is who can say for sure after a thousand years. If someone can say it accurately, estimate
There is only this old comrade-in-arms of the sage.
Therefore, Brando humbly asked the elven maiden, his teacher, for advice, "What does Lord Elranta think, she will not come to kill your only student, will she?" ”
Saint-Osor smiled slightly, thinking that Brando's statement was somewhat interesting: "That's not true, but if it had been put in the early days, I'm afraid it would not be easy to say, the death of a few of us will be a big blow to Sister Ellanta." I'm afraid that she won't let you go at that time. But now, after all, a thousand years later, our eyes are long since the same as when we were younger, and she didn't get it right just now
If I say more, she will naturally not go too far with you and me, the 'only' students. ”
Brando breathed a sigh of relief, then replied, "But there must be something else to say, right?" ”
Of course, he knew that even if the Wind Queen was in a particularly good mood today, he would not come to him for no reason to talk so much nonsense.
Saint-Osore nodded.
"She saw Gwendoline."
"The dragon?" Brando was slightly stunned: "Didn't you see it too?" ”
"I'm not like her." Saint Osor replied angrily: "Sister Elranta has been able to live until now, in fact, it is through the agreement of the four of us. What her mission is, I'm afraid you can guess without me saying more. She has monitored the world for a thousand years, and she knows better than I do what has happened in this world over the past thousand years. Gwendoline
and the appearance of Joe Gen Digan. It seemed strange to me at best, but it was different to her. ”
"What's the difference?" Brando was a little curious, this was what he had always wanted to know, but he didn't expect to get an answer from this sage.
The elven royal sister shook her head.
"I can't say it either, we don't have direct communication after all. But I can sense some of her thoughts, and I'm afraid this has something to do with you, Brando. ”
"It's about me." Brando frowned slightly, the first thing he thought of was his grandfather, and it seemed that the only connection between Gwendolin and him was this mysterious grandfather. In addition to this, there is the holy war, and the three originally independent kingdoms of Eruin, Jorgandegan and Cruz are now completely entangled because of this holy war, no
The only connection between Eruin and this holy war fell on him, and this can also be regarded as a place related to him.
What else is there?
Madder?
Or is it Her Majesty the Queen herself?
Brando shook his head, there were too many clues, and he wanted to go to another thing, before Chiara told him that Gwendoline was on the side of the Silver Queen, and the situation was too critical before, and he didn't have time to investigate it in detail, but now that he thinks about it, this is too big a problem, on the one hand, it represents Jogandigan, and on the other hand, it is the supreme of the empire, that Rogers They have always been
The judgment of the search turned out to be Her Majesty the Queen?
That's a bit too much of a joke.
"What should I do?" Brando couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and asked directly - this is a good habit of his, in short, lazy, and the wind queen glared at her 'good' student angrily: "This is also what Elranta wants you to help, the situation in the Cruz Empire is very unusual, and it seems that it has exceeded her expectations - or."
Said that Gwendoline's presence had alerted her. ”
Brando suddenly thought of something, and he rarely interrupted the wind and said, "Doesn't the Sage also want me to inform the dragon clan?" ”
"Hey, how did you guess that?"
"Damn," Brando replied angrily, "It's still a guess, she must know the agreement between the dragons and the Cruz Empire, and this agreement is now hidden from me alone, Martha is on top." ”
Feng Hou smiled slightly: "There is one more thing, that little girl." ”
Hearing this, Brando was slightly stunned, in fact, he didn't need to be reminded by the elf royal sister, he also remembered this most important problem at the moment.
Brando turned his gaze to the elf standing uneasily beside Chiara, who was now like a child who had done something wrong, with his head bowed and his hands stirring the corners of his clothes, not daring to even look at them. Brando couldn't help but be angry and funny when he saw her like this, he was obviously pretending to be like this, he was obviously like that before, but he immediately turned into a lady at this moment
Miss.
Who believes this?
He couldn't help but ask with a little cry and laughter: "This little lady, it's all come to this point, you have to introduce yourself." ”
"I—I'm an elf."
The elf replied in a trembling voice.
But alas, this answer obviously does not satisfy Brando.
