The Amber Sword

Scene 87 The Dead and the King (2)

Brando smiled and thought that of course you would not understand the value of the Ghost Rider Crystal. This thing was once hyped to a sky-high price of 300 million Thor in the 'Amber Sword'. Until the middle of the Second Age, there were only a few. RMB warriors can afford equipment engraved with 'Ghost Rider Crystal'.

But wanting to get the engraved crystal seems a bit wishful thinking. In other words, just like the floating clouds on the horizon, they look beautiful but are actually meaningless.

Because even Brando himself never took this sentence seriously.

The engraved crystal is the product of sublimation and purification of the monster's own attributes. It may be dark, evil, flying, or floating. Any kind of engraved crystal has only a very rare chance of being generated, let alone the ghost knight crystal. The probability of falling is approximately seven decimal places.

The chance of getting this thing by chance is only slightly higher than the chance of traveling to another world.

He picked up the heavy crossbow and asked, "Do you have a magic arrow?"

"Yes." The two elementalists among the Lubis mercenaries immediately responded. The two girls are twins, with their long gray-brown hair tied into thin braids around their long ears. In fact, they are both wild elves from the mountains of Orkash. When Brando became a member of the Force of God in his last life, he fought with the undead in Orkash for a long time and was no stranger to this nation.

Wild elves are actually children of the goddess Gaia, and are therefore closer to the dwarves of the Stone Clan. There is often a tradition of intermarriage between the two ethnic groups, and their customs and habits are also very different. However, the wild elves are martial, and are rich in hunters, elementalists, and chasseurs. These three professions are quite offensive, which shows that their folk customs are tough.

When Cruz's fourth human king, Longblade Halson, invaded the Lubis States, he suffered heavy losses at their hands. Although he ultimately won, he also paid a heavy price.

So much so that the Cruzes and the wild elves are still hostile to each other to this day.

It is precisely such a strong and open folk custom that allows many wild elves to enter the human world. The profession they chose is also very tough - mercenaries. On this point, this prosperous nation has reached an agreement with the Lubis. Therefore, the Lubis mercenaries actually refer to the combined army composed of wild elves, mountain dwarves and Lubis.

Therefore, Brando was not surprised to hear that there were two elementalists from wild elves in this group of mercenaries. If there were to be two war priests (*), that was what surprised him. The Lubis and the Cruzes have been feuding for ever.

(*The War Priests are elite priests trained by the Cruz people. The predecessor of this organization is the Imperial War Mission. The headquarters is the Temple of the King located on the mountainous plateau of the Haruli region - this temple holds an eagle as its emblem every year. The empire has cultivated a steady stream of young and outstanding priests;)

"grown ups,

Which one do you have? "The sister with the sharper face and fairer skin among the two asked in a sweet voice.

"Ice and wind, how many can you make in total?"

"If I don't retain my mana, I can make ten."

"I can make six." The younger sister replied crisply.

"That's enough," Brando interrupted them: "Give me seven of each type, and use the rest as two guiding arrows."

The two sisters looked at each other, each looking a little strange, and then looked at their captain. Finally, my sister asked in a low voice: "Sir, can we still understand the Wind-bound Arrow and the Ice-Cracking Arrow? The Guiding Arrow... the Guiding Arrow is generally not used alone?"

They didn't lie. Guiding arrows are usually used to make expensive double or even multiple magic arrows. After all, high-end magic arrows are expensive and cannot be recycled, but the magic arrows have to hit to have an effect. Just like if someone misses a dragon-slaying arrow, he will suffer a big loss.

Therefore, the so-called double magic arrow was born, also called the guided magic arrow. But I’ve never heard of the Guiding Arrow being used alone, and it’s not like those princes and nobles use this thing to cheat when hunting——

But Brando had other plans. He smiled: "It doesn't matter, you just need to do it. There is no need to reserve mana. After completing my mission, you can go to the back to rest with Roman and Antitina. The rest of the battle will be left to others. ”

The elder sister nodded. Although she still had doubts, she also knew that human lords were often self-willed, so the more mature elf girl wisely chose to keep silent. However, her sister frowned and continued to ask: "But, Lord..."

"Tiya," she shouted sternly.

The younger sister glanced at her elder sister in surprise, understood what she meant, and shut up in aggrievedness.

Brando was startled. He couldn't help but think of Ciel. Sometimes it was really hard to believe that these people with their own judgments, memories and feelings could be the beings summoned from a card. If others were to tell the difference at all.

But he smiled bitterly. Could it be that he looked like a ruthless lord? Although he was a bit unsmiling in front of these mercenaries, that was just due to his personality, and it wouldn't have caused such a big misunderstanding, right?

He turned around and saw that Antitina was obviously holding back laughter, and Roman was also looking at him with a smile, as if he was watching a good show. "I said, am I still your lord? Your attitude is not very correct!" Brando cursed in his heart, but he still had to squeeze out a smile on his face.

"do not mind……"

He replied with a dry smile.

Fourteen magic arrows were quickly handed over to him. In fact, according to Brando's peak level, he estimated that at most half would be enough. But now he is no better than before, and he is not the level 130 warrior, so of course he should prepare as much as possible.

Anyway, the two two-ring (downstream black iron) elementalists will not be of much help in the following battle.

He inserted the crossbow arrows into the buckles of his armed belt one by one for easy access. Then he raised his head and saw the mercenaries in the forest taking their positions. This made him feel a little more at ease - but his mood, which had just become more relaxed, became even more uncomfortable after seeing the face of the middle-aged man next to him that was full of vicissitudes of life.

"I said, no problem. Captain Huque."

Brando sighed. No matter how he explained, Huque still stayed with an uneasy look on his face. The reason for this middle-aged mercenary captain was simple: like Charles, he knew their relationship with Brando. Relationship, naturally he will not be allowed to put himself in danger.

"It doesn't matter, Lord Lord. Just let me stay. Anyway, I can still be resurrected after death, so just think of it as staying behind to block the sword." Huque replied calmly.

Why do these words sound so familiar? However, you can resurrect, but that will have to wait until tomorrow morning, and you will have to pay an extra maintenance fee, Mr. Tiger Bird!

After Brando listened to Huque's reasons in an angry and amused tone, he looked back at the forest to confirm that Roman and the noble daughter had gone far away, and then asked: "They are all gone. Could it be that they are among the twelve mercenaries?" Are you the only one who understands this?"

Huque nodded without denying: "Every summoning destiny card has a core, which can also be said to be a leader. In addition to this, the others are called derivatives. In this card, I It’s this core—the core is designed to be the planeswalker’s deputy, helping it manage the derivatives generated by this card, or other cards or spells attached to this card.”

"And this setting?" Brando was stunned, and then he remembered something: "So, the knowledge possessed by each core is also different."

"Of course, it has something to do with the card itself." Huque replied.

"So what do you know? Do you know how to fish a card out of the graveyard?" he asked jokingly.

"The black cards are mysterious and changeable, and life and death change. If you want to use the cemetery's tactics, you may have to collect a dark element land card first. This type of land card is generally easy to produce in swamps, graveyards, and places where undead creatures gather." Tiger Bird replied.

Brando nodded, took a breath and looked ahead. He picked up the heavy crossbow and said, "Then you can stay and don't cause any trouble for me." His eyes swept across the front of the temple, which stood alone in the middle of the open space under the cold moonlight -

It has probably been two centuries since the Eruin people left here, and no intelligent being has entered the ruined temple.

He was thinking about these irrelevant things and counting the time. In the past games, attracting monsters was a technical job. A real master could make the opponent appear in the expected direction along the route he expected.

For low-level AI, it is necessary to remember the opponent's judgment. For high-level monsters, it's a battle between hearts.

Brando has not lost any of these things. Although he was not a hunter specifically responsible for attracting monsters in the past, the average team is so sound. As a warrior, this is also one of the regular part-time jobs.

Eight, seven...

Brando whispered, the mercenary captain obviously didn't understand what he was calculating. After all, the way aborigines fight is completely different from how players fight.

For players, the world is digital no matter how real it is, and everything is spoken by data. The same is true for Brando. Their thinking inevitably goes beyond the game, recording every change in numbers like a sophisticated machine.

Everything is in order.

He counted the seconds and then pulled the trigger. The first arrow installed on the crossbow string was a hollow sounding arrow. It immediately let out a sharp scream and flew out. White airflow was drawn on both sides of the hollow arrow cluster, and it penetrated into the shadow of the temple with an arc.

Six, five...

The sharp sound alerted the hostile undead, and the fluorescent knight soon appeared on the side of the temple. Coming, Huque pressed one hand on the crank handle of the flying ax, and his whole body tensed up.

But Brando immediately threw away the heavy crossbow and took off his own short bow from his waist-he bought this bow after the Highland Regiment card entered the graveyard. Although it's not as useful as Char's Structure Bow, it's still better than nothing.

Brando made a gesture to Huque.

Back away, immediately! (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
