The Amber Sword: Act 136 Darkness Falls

Ciel climbed up the stairs of the lighthouse, and looked up to see Brando and three ladies chatting at the railing on the sea side of the lighthouse. Romaine Young Lady was snickering, and Fina was covered with gloom. It seemed to be a little bit heavy, Nemesis dressed in a suit, leaning on his back against the railing to look at the scenery on the sea, with long black hair rising with the sea breeze, and the sky and sea in the distance, the clouds seemed to rise and fall like white mountains.

Female Knight‘s meticulous and meticulous character, others have already seen it strangely, but they have not seen the shadow of the Sifah Little Princess who likes to make fun, it seems that they dragged the little elf to go shopping in the port, the two young ladies are now already Become the best friends to talk about, of course, in fact, they do have common topics and hobbies — that is in the ability to cause trouble.

“Lord Thane.”

Brando hit the black Knight windbreaker, Earth Sword was hanging obliquely on his waist, the black rhino leather and silver scabbard almost pointed down to the ground, and when he looked back, he noticed that the one’s own wizard attendant already had arrived, and he smiled and moved: Just right, what do you think of the scenery here? “

Ciel for a moment: “It seems Lord Thane really likes the scenery here?”

Brando smiled and shook his head, extend the hand patted the ancient and mottled outer wall of the lighthouse: “Do you know the origin of this lighthouse?”

Ciel subconsciously looks up at this lighthouse. This ancient lighthouse looks like already, but it looks like an old lighthouse that can be seen everywhere in the lofty inland sea. I don’t know what else this lighthouse can have Moral.

“Fatham Port has a long history, but Lord Thane, I have never been here, and I do not know what historical monuments there are,” he replied.

“Ha ha,” Brando ha ha smiled, proudly toward Miss merchant extend the hand beside him. The latter put out his tongue and reluctantly put a gold coin in his hand, lamenting and complaining: “Ciel you are really useless.”

“This lighthouse is the famous Tumen lighthouse,” Brando reached out to harbour area: “Fattan was built in Year of Returning Glory. The founder of the port is Kirrlutzian‘s famous Scholar Fattan. Freeman, the latter is Tumen Descendants, also inheritor with few respectable Miirna bloodlines in the mortal world. But unfortunately, this family did not escape the trial of time and eventually dissipated in the long river of history. This lighthouse was built to commemorate them, Tumen After all, it is the Fire of Civilization‘s messenger, the wise man who gave the light of inspiration to Black Iron races in the dark. Unfortunately, few people in already can remember this history now.

He looked softly towards the pier. He passed through this place when he left Aouine and went to Faanzan in the last life. He remembers that there is a emblem of Fattan Port on the gate of this lighthouse. Although it is dozens of times earlier than that time Years, but the emblem on the door is still the same. It’s just a lot brand new; this feeling is very wonderful. The port hasn’t changed much in the past two generations. He can even find out details about every few decades, and past memories are integrated into these details. Let the heart give birth to a strange emotion.

Ciel was crying and watching one’s own Lord Thane betting himself, but the words Brando’s also caused curiosity in his heart. He looked up at the lighthouse —, the ordinary lighthouse and the lighthouses in other areas of the lofty inland sea. The difference — stands between two headlands. Looking at the blue sea and blue sky outside the Port of Fattan for thousands of years, it seems like a lonely old man. After experiencing wind and rain, he watched the passage of time silently and wisely, leaving only mottled algae green and white paint on his body.

History has formed a huge coincidence, and a cycle has been completed here. It has witnessed the decline of the last Miirna bloodline, but now it is necessary to watch them return to the world.

“It turns out that this lighthouse has such a history.”

“It’s not the original one.” Fina suddenly raised his eyelids, and replied with a little pride: “The earliest Tumen lighthouse was destroyed by the one by one four-year fire, and later it was rebuilt again. The reconstructed lighthouse was damaged during the July war, and the already you see is being renovated for the second time. “

Brando glanced back at her. The worried light flashes passed by the dark brown eyes. Although the Fina looks much better today after a night’s rest, and put on the dress and long skirt again, the glorious damsel seems to really recover the eldest daughter who belonged to Duke. He was proud, but he knew clearly that perhaps only by personal experience could he understand what this past month meant to her. Obviously, the shadow was not so easily wiped out from spirit / mind.

In Faithwind Circle, the Duke, which is unknown to the world, is no longer visible at already.

“Fina Young Lady —”

“You want to comfort me again,” Fina stared back at him suddenly, his beautiful brows frowning deeply: “I don’t want to quarrel with you, Hunk, I’m not as vulnerable as you think.”

“Also,” she said corrected seriously, “call me Fina.”

Brando stared at this ojou-sama and frowned, thinking that there was no essential difference between the toughness of this outfit and the time of Faithwind Circle, it just looked silly and cute.

Ciel smiled secretly when he saw this scene, but he still hasn’t forgotten that he still has business, and quickly to report said: “Lord Thane, already torture is almost over there.”

“Oh？”

Brando frowned slightly, and then came back to realize what news the attendant one’s own wizard brought. In fact, it was not difficult for him to pry open the mouth of Rodney, but the key issue was —. Mastered many secrets of Her Majesty. “What did he say?” He asked.

Ciel replied in a hurry: “Unsurprisingly, the main purpose of the Rodney trip was to Fina Young Lady. The Silver Queen hopes to use Fina Young Lady, Helix Duke father and son to force the younger sister of Fina Young Lady as the quality, so as to achieve mastery. Archduke of Floral Leaf leads the purpose. “

“My sister, she’s smart, she won’t be affected by that vicious woman!” Fina coldly said, her fists clenched and trembling with anger, Brando patted her thin shoulder gently and asked: ” Besides, how did the Miirna around The Silver Queen come from, and what was she planning to do. Besides Miirna, what secret powers do she have? “

“Uh,” Ciel shrugged. “These Rodney don’t know much, but Her Majesty seems to be particularly interested in Alkash Mountain. Her purpose of going east is not only to surrender the military noble in the north of the Empire. Also One purpose is to open the passage to the Alkash mountain. “

She still remembers the last battlefield? Brando froze for a moment, but he immediately saw the Duke around him a little bit, only to remember that there are two main roads from East Metz to the Alkash mountain area, one in Ludwig and one in Floral Leaf Shire.

“wú, what … why is the Queen so interested?” miss merchant blinked dark brown eyes and asked curiously.

Regarding the issue of Thane‘s fiancee, Ciel did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied: “There are many reasons. Perhaps it is related to the secret on the Final Battle battlefield, or it may be because Her Majesty the Queen particularly likes that place, not to mention the Alkash mountain itself Is strategically located in the central area connecting Faanzan, Saers and Kirrlutz.

“What about the Miirna rumors outside, I never believe that they came back from the glacier as rumored.”

“Lord Thane, I have asked clearly. The Miirna around The Silver Queen is mainly the legacy of witch. She mobilized mountain people.”

“mountain people?”

“Exactly, it is a branch of mountain people. The branch of Senia …”

“Werewolf.” Brando took a sip of cold air, and mountain people lived in the mountains of Vala in the south of Floral Leaf Shire, but in fact, it was a thing before the last era. For various reasons, mountain people left his hometown. Open branches and leaves, like Scarlett, were born in Aouine’s mountain people. And mountain people itself has an unclear relationship with Miirna. This is the reason why Correct is generally discriminated in this world. Several of the mountain people come from the legacy of Miirna’s. Senian is one of them. Today, Senian has already departed from its hometown like other mountain people, settled in the south of Mantle Bay, and is in an unknown branch of Broken Sword Mountain Range. There is itself the sphere of influence of The Silver Queen. She might really find these Lost race of the era.

“Lord Thane, and this, I found from those Knight, I remember correctly …”

Ciel extend the hand came, spread out his palm, and placed a flaky rock in his palm, then he raises head came to Brando with a strange look.

Brando has narrowed his eyes.

This thing —

Lying flat in the palm of the young wizard attendant is a grey flat stone tablet like a chisel, but there are no traces of artificial carving on the surface, as if the pieces were naturally peeled off from a huge rock This fragment, he already was not the first time he saw it. This is the grey fragment. The first time it was found was among the relics of Amandina‘s father; the second time was in the tomb funerary of Guzman; and the third time was before the death of crystal elk Relics.

“Well, this is …” Romaine also opened a small mouth and gave a soft exclamation.

“Is this the fourth one?”

“This is the fourth one.”

“What the **** is this, Lord Thane?”

“Not yet too clear Chu, but …” Brando frowned slightly. Previously, when there were more than three grey fragments, he put them together, and an obvious resonance was formed, forming a map-like Stuff, this time, it should have the same response. He showed his intentions to Ciel, who understood it and sent it forward gently. The stone fragment seemed to be pulled by some invisible force. It stood upright in his hand. It exudes a faint blue light. Slowly floated over to Brando.

Brando immediately felt the other three pieces of his body restlessly, although they were still in Dimensional Hole.

Space then also resonance.

The Nemesis leaning on the railing seemed to feel something. She turned her head and saw at a glance that the Space between Brando and Ciel was slightly dimming, as if collapsed inward under the huge traction, and could not help but slightly.怔: “Is this …?”

“Lord Thane!” Ciel suddenly changed his face and shouted.

“This is …”

It was like a drop of water falling on the calm water surface. At that moment, Brando felt existence in the sea of ​​Mana.

The sky suddenly darkened, and across the lofty inner sea, the sky was fading from west to east, and the clouds seemed to be driven by an invisible force and gathered in all directions. Lightning shuttled above the clouds, and the roar of thunder rolled from the sky. for a moment, it seems that a new storm has formed on the new sea, and resonance of Space is becoming more and more obvious. Even the ground shakes, and the small stones and gravels are dancing. The light white wall creaking and grating of the lighthouse cracked a shocking rift, Fina screamed, and supported the railing.

“It’s getting dark, Brando!” Romaine glanced at the sky with a terrified look, a huge vortex was forming over Fattan, and a horrible eye opened in the thick clouds.

The cold sweat slipped down. Brando felt sweat stains on his forehead. “Retract!” He growled loudly.

Ciel thought about it, grabbed the grey stone tablet suspended in midair. Strange to say, the moment he grabbed the grey stone tablet, all the scenes calmed down in a hurry: the clouds no longer converged, the lightning disappeared, the thunder went away, the tremors of Space stopped instantly, and the sun went back Multi-faceted radiance was re-radiated in the sky, and the sea was no longer raging. What happened before seemed like a terrible illusion.

But the huge rift on the lighthouse proved that all the real existence happened a moment ago.

It just came and left.

Noisy towards the pier. From time to time, shouts floated over there: Is there an earthquake? Is there an earthquake? But these voices soon drowned in crying.

Brando, Ciel, Fina, Nemesis, and Romaine. Five people stood beside the lighthouse, keeping their previous movements motionless, like puppets, everyone was stunned, and after a while. Brando was the first to return to God, and asked dryly: “Before … what was that?”

Everyone looked at each other.

“Lord Thane.”

“You don’t need to say anything,” Brando interrupted the one’s own wizard attendant with a dry mouth: “I feel it.”

“That’s …” But Ciel was especially worried.

“It is the tide on the sea of ​​Mana …” Brando recalled the terrible sense of advent before, and replied word by word: “No …”

“It’s Twilight.” Female Knight‘s cold voice sounded in time, and Brando stunned slightly. Looking back at her, the latter was also pale, but at least she remained calm. She hesitated before answering with certainty: “It’s Dragon of Twilight. At least for a moment, I felt that I came from this world. Peeping outside. But it will never be a demon. I have a hunch in my heart that it is there — “

Brando didn’t say a word. In fact, he also felt the terrible sense of depression, even if it was in game before, he never felt it.

“Is this thing calling it?” Ciel carefully looked at the grey stone tablet in his palm, sweating all over, as if holding something terrible: “What the **** is this?” “

“I think … it shouldn’t.” Brando frowned, he faintly recalled the feeling of being peeped before, and the huge power seemed to instantly penetrate the sea between Mana and Vaunde Barriers descend over the port of Fattan. However, this channel is not opened by the resonance of these grey fragments in their hands. It is not so much a summon, it is better to say —

A forcible advent.

…

— outside Nazaire

A pair of gold-like eyes slowly opened in the dark, and the owner of these eyes hidden under the branches suddenly rose from the bush and made a thumping sound. This is the third day after leaving the imperial capital. Sidney subconsciously touched her chest. This action affected the wound and made her frown. The statue of the maiden of the Lion Palace is no longer graceful and calm as usual Her face was covered with dust mixed with blood, but fortunately, at least the thing was still hidden under the thick clothes, which made her feel a little relieved.

Her subconsciously raises head, looking puzzledly toward the coastal area east of Mez.

Why does the Mana sea suddenly become turbulent?

What is producing resonance with this thing?

A hint of doubt came to her mind.
