Act Ninety-Four: Rest in the Woods
Compared with the turmoil of the whole world, the silence of the Frost Forest is more like a pool of waveless backwater, and the inner and outer worlds seem to be separated by an invisible wall, leaving only the latest chapter of the Red Mansion Idler who spreads through the dark night sky.
The knights made their way through the forest, the pine trees rattling in the night wind, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that they found some of the missing people one after another. However, to Brando's greatest surprise, Freya and Laurena find the sleeping Hunter Maiden in a grove.
Peya was also the last to return to the team, and her return can be said to be unexpected by Brando. The more confused the dream, the greater the seductive power, and everyone knows the nightmare in the heart of the Hunter Maiden, and it is said that it should be impossible for her to break free from her terrible dreams.
But she succeeded, and when she was found sleeping quietly in a mossy field, her face looking like that of a sleeping princess, completely devoid of the wildness of a hunter as she usually sees, except for a little tear on her face.
Brando asked Nimesis to check on the other party's condition, and after making sure that there was no serious problem, she asked the others not to disturb her. Peya's dream has reached the final stage, all that remains is to wait quietly for her to wake up, as long as she appears outside the misty world, it means that she will definitely wake up.
Don't worry too much about the rest.
The knights scattered among the woods for a short rest in accordance with Brando's orders, and Brando sat down against a cedar tree, and the little prince came to ask for his sword with a red face, and then ran away.
Not far away, Nimesis gave him a strange look, and Brando was a little distracted. Although he didn't know why Nimesis appeared in his and Haruzer's dreams, she must have seen Haruzer's women's outfit.
"I hope that guy doesn't say it to Her Royal Highness the Princess, probably won't say it, Nimesis doesn't seem to be the kind of gossip woman." Brando thought to himself that he suspected that if Princess Griffien knew about what he had done, he might have stabbed him to death.
Thinking about these messy things, he took out the equipment that had been dropped by Viscount Kader's negative feelings from the previous one from the dimensional cave to identify.
He wrung the glittering thing out of it. It was a necklace. He placed the necklace in the palm of his left hand, and the chain shimmered with a faint sheen, like silver. The pendant was a wrapping heart, and he vaguely felt like he had seen it there.
He thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that thing?" Brando's heart flashed with joy. Hurry up and open the properties panel:
Atoya's determination
【Magic】
Strength +20
Gain +20 Constitution
Wind Resistance +5
Fire Resistance +5
Water Resistance +5
Gain +5 Earth Resistance
"Sure enough, it's this thing." Brando had a strange surprise in his heart, he subconsciously lifted the necklace and reversed it, and sure enough, he found that the pendant was engraved with such a simple text:
‘T’yaOssEaamFlame――’
Meaning 'all the elements are for my use', this ancient text is the magical runes that preceded Vajnd's birth, and it exists even older than the witches' written history, but these words have now lost their magic and have become mere tools for storing information.
The literal meaning actually refers to the azure dragon, the ruler of the elements. Atoya was her name in her own right, only after the fall of Babel Fortress. Mortals prefer to call it just a scourge.
This necklace is only average at this level, but it has a special meaning for Brando, as it is actually a quest item, just like the Queen's Ring.
'The end of the calamity, the jewel of the crown of the dragonborn'. This unique item is the final reward for this series of quests. It can expand the four-series elemental pool at the same time, it is one of the god-level necklaces of the elemental envoy, and it is also something that Brando is now bound to obtain, originally Brando planned to find a way to acquire this task necklace, but he didn't expect it to take no effort to get the Sixth Realm.
It's just that Atoya's determination itself is not an uncommon thing, and the difficulty of this task lies in the process. Not a means of triggering.
Brando removed the Flame Star from his neck, the necklace that had followed him since the Forest of Eternal Song, but the ruby on the pendant had long since been shattered and destroyed during the last Ampesel War. He cherished the Flame Star by his side, and then took with him Atoya's determination, which was not the best, but it was always better than nothing.
Then Brando took another look at the dimensional cave that was divided into two lines, and there was a large pile of loot from the Ring of the Trade Winds, armor, magic cone, holy water, and Brando had never thought of tidying up, and between these messes there was a barrel about an arm's length in which a dim light flickered.
He was slightly stunned, and then remembered that it was the spoils of the demon's battle, which Antitina had possessed at first, and then passed it on to him, and he still hadn't figured out what it was for.
However, there is really nothing to understand about demonic things, and they are not possessions that mortals can grasp, most of them have side effects of one kind or another, and the end of using them without permission is generally not good. For example, Countess Delferry, who had not been able to walk in bed for too long, and the priests of the temple had said that she had a hidden illness, for which Brando had always felt guilty.
However, this is relatively light, and it is not uncommon for people to die and even have their souls imprisoned forever because of the use of demonic items.
Brando's thought of Dilferry and he lost interest in it, and although the witches of the Cyncieri region were good at checking demon items, he didn't need to make a special trip there.
After examining what he was doing, his heart inexplicably calmed down with the forest, and the morning breeze began to blow through the canopy, making a sound so soft that it almost made one want to fall asleep.
But no one could sleep, because as soon as they closed their eyes, they would think about the nightmare they had before.
Brando felt someone sit down next to him, and it was Akane. She didn't even need to ask her lord's permission to sit next to Brando. She turned her head and watched Brando's movements quietly with her beautiful amber eyes.
"Something?" Brando asked.
Akane took out a ring and handed it to Brando.
Brando saw the ring in her hand—it looked strange on the surface, a bit like someone had made a pebble perforation, and it was very smooth and unpretentious—but he was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a magic ring.
"This is your trophy?"
Akane nodded.
That is the relic of the disgraced during his lifetime. Looks like Akane's luck is pretty good. He took the ring, and it was smooth to the touch, and the surface seemed to be satin. But I don't see any clues.
But Brando is in no hurry to guess its properties, this kind of stone work is very rare in Vaulnd, and some even bear witness to the first age of the entire world. He rubbed his hand on the inside of the ring, and sure enough, he felt a thin line of depressions.
It was the writing of the Marishes.
"It's an ancient thing!" Brando couldn't help but exclaim, "Akane, you're really lucky! ”
"Huh?" Akane looked at him puzzled.
"Most of the magic items after the destruction of the Babbel Fortress came from the discovery of the magic pattern by Tumen, but before that, there were actually all kinds of magic items." Brando explained, "These magical items aren't necessarily stronger than what we've seen now, but they're very peculiar—"
As he spoke, he held up the ring, and the shimmer of cyan light in the sky shone through the leaves and branches, casting through the hole in the middle of the ring, forming a beam of light, and the attributes of the ring also appeared in his field of vision:
Ring of Stone
【Fantasy】
Strength +75
Additional Skills:
Eternal Dependents - The one who bears the vows is on the ground. The Stone Ring doubles its stats.
A ring of about level forty plus one hundred and fifty strength, although it is only on the ground, such an extreme attribute is very rare among the magic items of the Demon Pattern Era. This is illustrated by its additional skills, as ancient magical items tend to focus on one aspect but have a variety of limitations.
In the game. Players say that they belong to a special class of cursed items, and Brando feels that this is not to be justified.
This ring doesn't have any special skills, but the added stats alone are amazing enough at this level. In particular, it occurred to Brando that this ring was simply tailor-made for Akane, because of the attributes of the Azure Spear and the Dragonborn's powerful body recovery ability, so she didn't need to pay too much attention to defense - and the Ring of Stone was undoubtedly the best annotation for her to be a full-attack warrior.
"This is Gaia's blessed ring." Brando lowered the ring and replied to Akane, "You're lucky, it's your spoils." ”
Akane was a little quiet when she heard Brando's answer, she could probably guess the preciousness of the ring, but she just replied, "I don't, my lord." ”
"Trust me, it's better for you than me." Brando smiled at the mountain girl: "Stretch out your hand, I'll bring it to you-"
Akane froze.
Brando is completely immersed in his own vision, and offensive flow fighters are rare in the game, because the way they fight dictates that the survivability of melee physical classes must be inherently stronger than other classes, and melee means that it is more difficult to avoid some area spells and attacks, and the necessary health and protection to survive these battles.
Classes like the Nightingale can be compensated for by high-speed movement and dexterity, but what does a warrior have? Warriors can rely on nothing more than strong armor and strong physique.
But there are no absolutes, and Brando's heart yearns for that indomitable spirit, because by focusing on strength, the warrior becomes like an extremely sharp and easily broken glass blade.
Brando felt that this was a very good fit for Akane's fighting style, and the girl inherited certain mountain folk traits, strong and unyielding in battle, preferring to bend rather than bend - so much so that when you look at such a lady in battle, you can rarely imagine her usual temperament.
But when Brando thought so, he didn't think at all about what his request meant to the mountain maiden, and according to the customs of the mountain people, only the closest lovers would give each other rings.
Of course, their rings don't have so much power, sometimes even just a wreath, but they symbolize each other's restraint and admiration.
Akane asked Brando to bring her the ring in a daze, and for a moment it felt as if time had stopped flowing.
"How?" Brando took her hand and carefully slipped the Stone Ring on before looking up.
"Huh?" Akane seemed to have just reacted, she tried to put aside those marginal thoughts, felt them carefully, and then muttered: "It's very powerful, my strength has increased by two or three percent at once, according to Miss Aloze, there should be the power of the dragon clan in the infancy-"
"That's the power of approaching the elements, but only the strength has this level, you can feel it carefully, it will be good for you to civilize the elements in the future. Keep in mind, though, that you only have this power when you're on the ground, and if you're fighting, try to avoid being led to other battlefields by others. Brando admonished.
"Hmm." Akane was silent and nodded, but asked in a low voice, "I can also civilize the element, Lord Lord?" ”
"You know more than anyone else, and the wall of elements will not be your threshold. Besides, you have golden blood in your veins, and you should be more proud than everyone else, and you don't have to be presumptuous, Akane. ”
Brando looked at Akane and whispered encouragement.
The mountain girl didn't answer, but just clenched the Azure Spear in her hand, and Brando, noticing this detail, probably guessed what she was thinking.
He looked back, and the task of the entire dream realm was a complete quest quest, and there were quests that were both experienced and quite few. He opened the panel and found that the addition of the remaining part was almost enough to raise the Templars to the next level, and that it was not the best choice to continue to increase the level of the Templars in Brando's plan, but since he found that his constitution had been further strengthened after the Elements of Civilization, he changed his mind.
Since it is the constitution that is strengthened, it seems that the tank flow route of the Templars is not unacceptable. He thought about it a little and chose to move up the ranks.
The attribute bonuses of the advanced class have become extremely high in the later stage, and after exceeding ten levels, with each level, Brando can almost feel that his overall strength has risen by a level, almost about one-third of the original.
In fact, the fastest time to level up after crossing the Wall of Elements is the fastest time to level up, as he knows well in the game, but once he passes through the Side of Truth, the rate of experience gain slows down a thousand times.
After that, it will depend on the slow accumulation.
Fortunately, in any case, players with a system are several times faster than the natives.
It didn't take long for the news of the Hunter Maiden's awakening to arrive, and Freya brought him the news, and when Brando and Akane went over to look, they saw the Hunter Maiden's thick eyelashes move slightly, and then opened their eyes.
