Act Eighty-Seven: The Dead and the King

Brando smiled, thinking to himself that of course you don't understand the value of the Ghost Knight Crystal, which was hyped up to 300 million tors in the 'Amber Sword', and until the middle of the Second Age, only a few RmB warriors could afford to use the equipment to engrave the 'Ghost Knight Crystal'.

However, it seems to be wishful thinking to get the engraved crystal. In other words, it's like a cloud on the horizon, beautiful to look at, but it's meaningless.

Because even Brando himself never took this sentence seriously.

Engraved crystals are the product of the sublimation and purification of the attributes of the monsters themselves, or dark, or evil, flying, or floating - any kind of engraved crystals only have a very rare chance of being generated, not to mention the Ghost Knight Crystal, which has a drop rate of about seven decimal places.

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

He picked up his crossbow and asked, "Is there a magic arrow?" ”

"Yes." The two elements of the Lubis mercenaries immediately scrambled to answer. The two girls were twins, with long gray-brown hair tied into thin braids around their long ears, but they were actually wild elves from the mountains of Olkash. When Brando became a member of the Divine Force in his last life, he had fought against the undead in Olkash for quite some time, and was no stranger to this people.

The wild elves are actually the children of the goddess Gaia, so they are closer to the dwarves of the Stone Clan. There is often a tradition of intermarriage between the two ethnic groups, and the customs and habits are very different. However, the wild elves are still martial, rich in hunters, elemental envoys and chasseurs, these three classes are quite offensive professions, and their folk customs can be seen.

When the fourth king of Cruz, Harson the Longblade, invaded the Lubis states, he suffered a great loss at their hands. Although it was ultimately victorious, it also paid a heavy price.

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

And it is such a strong and open folk style that has allowed many wild elves to enter the human world. Their chosen profession is also very strong - mercenaries. At this point, the declining people were in agreement with the Lubis, so the Lubis mercenaries were in fact a combined army of wild elves, mountain dwarves, and Lubis.

Therefore, it was not surprising to hear that there were two elemental envoys from the wild elves in this group of mercenaries. If there were two war priests (*), that was what surprised him. The Rubis and the Cruz are old and dead.

(*War Priests are elite clerics trained by the Cruz, an organization formerly known as the Imperial War Mission.) The headquarters is the King's Temple, located in the mountainous plateau of the Haruli region, which produces a steady stream of young and excellent priests for the eagle-emblem-marked empire every year; ）

"My lord, may I ask which one of you?" The older sister with a sharper face and fairer skin asked in a sweet voice.

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

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

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

"That's enough," Brando interrupted, "give me seven of each, and the rest as two guiding arrows." ”

The two sisters looked at each other, each a little strange, and they looked at their captain again. In the end, my sister whispered, "My lord, we can still understand the arrow of wind binding and the arrow of ice cracking, and the arrow of guidance ...... Isn't the arrow of guidance generally used alone? ”

They weren't lying, the arrows of guidance were generally used to make expensive double or even multiple magic arrows, after all, high-grade magic arrows were too expensive to recycle, but magic arrows would only have an effect if they hit. It's like if someone misses a dragon-slaying arrow, it's a big loss.

Hence the so-called Twin Arrows, also known as Guiding Magic Arrows, was born. But I've never heard of the arrows used alone, and it's not those princes and nobles who use this thing to cheat on hunting.

But Brando had other plans. He smiled, "It's okay, you just have to do it." You don't need to keep your mana, after completing my task, you can go to the back with Roman and Antitina to rest, and leave the rest of the battle to the others. ”

The elder sister nodded, although she was still skeptical, but she also knew that the human lords were often stubborn, so the mature elf girl wisely chose to keep her mouth shut. However, her sister frowned and continued to ask, "But, Lord Lord......"

"Tia." She shouted sternly.

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

Brando was stunned. He couldn't help but think of Charles, sometimes it was really hard to believe that these people with their own judgments, memories and feelings could summon life from a card, and if it was someone else, I am afraid it would be impossible to tell at all.

But he smiled bitterly, didn't he look like a ruthless lord? Although he was a little unsmiling in front of these mercenaries, it was just a matter of character, so it wouldn't cause such a big misunderstanding, right?

He turned around and saw that Antitina was clearly smiling, and Roman was also looking at him with a smile, as if he was watching a good show. "I say, am I still your lord, you don't have a good attitude," Brando sneered, but he still had to squeeze out a smile on his face.

"Don't worry about ......"

He replied with a dry smile.

……

Fourteen magic arrows were quickly handed over to him, in fact, according to the level of Brando's peak, he estimated that only half would be enough at most. However, this time is not as good as before, and he is not the one hundred and thirty level warrior, so if he can prepare more, of course, he will try to prepare as much as possible.

Anyway, the elemental envoys of the two rings (downstream of the black iron) will not be of much help in the next battle.

One by one, he inserted his bolts into the clasps of his armed straps for easy access. Then he looked up and saw that the mercenaries in the forest were also in place. This made him feel a little more relieved - but the mood that had just become a little more relaxed became more and more unhappy after seeing the face of the middle-aged man next to him who was full of vicissitudes.

"I said, no problem. Captain Tiger Sparrow. ”

Brando sighed, no matter how he explained, the tiger sparrow guy still stayed with a look of unease, the reason for this middle-aged mercenary captain was simple: like Charles, he knew their relationship with Brando, and naturally he would not let him risk his life.

"It's okay, my lord. You just let me stay, anyway, I can be resurrected if I hang up, so you should leave a knife blocker. Tiger Sparrow replied indifferently.

Why is this so familiar? Resurrection is possible, but it will not be until tomorrow morning, and there will be an additional maintenance fee, Uncle Tiger Sparrow

Brando, who listened to the reason of the tiger sparrow angrily and amusedly, looked back at the forest, and made sure that Roman and the noble daughter had gone away, and then asked, "They are all gone, could it be that you are the only one among the twelve mercenaries who understands this?" ”

Tiger Sparrow nodded, not denying: "Every summoning fate card has a core, which can also be said to be a leader. Other than that, everything else is called a derivative. In this card, I'm the core—the core canon is the traveling mage's second-in-command, helping him manage the tokens that come from this card, or the other cards or sorceries that are attached to this card. ”

"And this setting?" Brando was stunned for a moment, and he remembered one more thing: "In this way, the knowledge that each core has is also different. ”

"Of course, it has to do with the cards themselves." Tiger Sparrow replied.

"And what do you know, do you know how to fish a card out of the graveyard?" He asked jokingly.

"The black card is mysterious and changeable, life and death are transposed, and if you want to use the tactics of the cemetery, I am afraid you must first collect a dark element land card. These lands tend to spawn in swamps, graveyards, and places where the undead gather. Tiger Sparrow replied.

Brando nodded, took a breath and looked ahead. He picked up his crossbow, "Then you stay, just don't mess with me." His gaze swept over the shrine in front of him, standing alone in the middle of the clearing in the cold moonlight—

It's been probably two centuries since the Eruin people left here, and no sapient beings have ever entered the ruined temple.

He thought about these irrelevant things as he counted the time. In the past, it was a technical job to attract monsters, and a real master could make the opponent appear in the desired direction along his intended route.

For low-level aI, it is necessary to remember the opponent's decision. And for high-level monsters, it's a confrontation between people's hearts.

Brando didn't lose any of these things, although he wasn't a hunter in charge of attracting monsters in the past, but the average team was so sound, as a warrior, this was also one of the usual part-time jobs.

Eight, seven......

Brando whispered, the mercenary captain clearly not understanding what he was calculating. After all, the way the aborigines fight is very different from the way the players fight.

For players, the world is digital no matter how real it is, and a qiē speaks with a number of jù, and Brando is the same. Their minds inevitably transcend the game, recording every movement of numbers like a sophisticated machine.

A qiē is regular.

He counted the time, then pulled the trigger. The first arrow attached to the crossbow string was a hollow arrow, which immediately flew out with a sharp chirp, and the white air currents on both sides of the hollowed-out arrow cluster burrowed into the shadow of the shrine with an arc.

Sixth, fifth......

The shrill sound alerted the hostile undead, and the glowing knight soon appeared on the side of the shrine. came, the tiger sparrow pressed one hand on the crank of the flying axe, and the whole person tensed.

But Brando immediately threw away the heavy crossbow and removed his own short bow from his waist, which he had bought after the Highlands had entered the graveyard from this card. It's not as good as Charr's Constructed Bow, but it's better than nothing.

Brando gestured to the Sparrow.

Stand back, immediately
