As if by a ghost, Brando obeyed Nimesis's orders and gave the order to camp in place, but instead of taking Charles, Medisa, or Hipamela with him, he chased Nimesis into the Forest of Anlath. The two horses marched through the nocturnal woodland, over a gentle hillside - this was the slope of the Weller hill north of Brando's familiar town of Shallow Water - but soon the woods thinned out and opened up, and a silver path paved between the woodlands in Brando's vision. It was actually the reflection of the moonlight, the silver moon in the sky, depicting the jagged treetops of the cedars, with dead leaves piled up in layers below.

The back of the female knight Miaoman was always in front of Brando, maintaining an unhurried speed, not speaking, just silently moving forward. But Brando finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and he pulled the distance between the two of them, "What do you want, Lady Nimesis—"

The knight slowed down and replied without looking back, "Didn't I tell you, I know where the Crystal Deer is." Her voice was like a spring in the mountains, flowing like a clear spring.

This wasn't the answer Brando wanted, the answer he wanted was another: "But how do you know ......?" ”

The place was already close to a valley he remembered called the Valley of the Holy Silver, where there were many blooming moonlight flowers. But more importantly, there is an even more beautiful and fascinating creature inhabiting there.

According to the folklore of the Anlather area, there is a charming crystal stag living in the forest, which wanders through the forest on a full moon night and devours the moonlight. Few people have seen it, but any hunter who encounters it by chance will have good luck in the following month.

Legends are just legends after all, and the crystal stag in "Amber Sword" is actually just an elemental creature from the water elemental plane, and a small amount is stored in Vaund. In Eruin, they mostly inhabit the Anlather Forest, south of the Frost Forest, in the Needle Hill area. Their food is pure magic. Therefore, when the moon is full, these fascinating creatures will migrate in the direction in which the magic flows through the forest.

It is a level 55 elemental creature with a simple 'healing' element. It is worth mentioning. They are not as peaceful as the legends suggest, and the Crystal Stag is very territorial and will often attack invaders. They also act alongside the Frost Demons in the forest. Therefore, it is not a suitable prey to catch.

However, there is often only one elemental civilization mission in the region north of Manowell, and that is to obtain the crystallized blood of the Crystal Stag.

The crux of the matter is how she would have known about this qiē.

The knightess turned her head sideways, and the milky moonlight outlined the curves of her face; She looked at him, a bright reflection in her eyes, but calm: "I also know that you want crystallized blood. ”

Brando's knuckles clutching the reins turned a little white: "Who are you?" ”

"Equivalent exchange, before I answer this question of yours, I want to ask you a question." Nimesis turned around and continued slowly on horseback. Her voice was soft and steady, as if she were narrating an inconsequential matter.

"......" Brando was silent for a moment, his mind a mess. He tried to sort out a clue from it. But all the doubts are focused on one point. He said with some hesitation, "...... You ask. ”

"There were some people who were racing, and there were riders who were overtaking second place. Pls how many is he now. ”

Brando didn't expect Nimesis to ask such an inexplicable question, he didn't think about it, and blurted out, "First place?" ”

Nimersis chuckled, "I see, you're Sophie, right?" ”

Brando froze like a stone statue on horseback, and he stared at the female knight in a daze, his teeth chattering. The name seemed to be squeezed out of the depths of his throat: "Bai Jia...... Senpai? ”

Nimesis paused and glanced at him.

"I'm not her."

"It can't be!" Brando was a little restless, he had almost recognized the other - otherwise why would Nimesis not exist in history, why would she look exactly like her senpai, why would she know who he is?

But why didn't she admit it?

"But I know she—" replied Nimesis faintly.

Brando was slightly stunned, and Nimesis's tone was very quiet, as if to calm his restless heart, and he looked at the woman, this familiar back, with some confusion: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I don't know......" Nimesis sighed faintly, "but I'm glad I guessed correctly." If you don't find it boring, I can tell you about myself-"

"Tell me." Brando tried his best to suppress his feelings, and he felt like he was going crazy.

"I've been dreaming for as long as I can remember, weird, absurd dreams. Sometimes, in my dreams, I dream that the kingdom has fallen and every qiē is in a sea of fire. Sometimes I dream that I have become a different person—in such a dream, I am like a bystander, but still struggling with an obscure fate, and in the end history returns to the same path......" Nimesis slowly recounted her past, her tone becoming a little lower: "...... In that history, I know your senpai. ”

Brando seemed to wake up from a dream, and the first thing he said was, "This can't be!" ”

"Of all her members, you're the stupidest. In all the quizzes, you are always wrong. But her favorite member is you, because you are simple, full of ideals, like a blank sheet of paper. Nimesis replied, "I have more or less guessed your identity, but until today I am not sure who you are—Sophie." ”

Brando clutched the reins tightly and stared at the woman.

"Since you're not her, why are you suing me about this?" His voice was a bit like he had been drained of his soul......

"Because I'm afraid."

"Scared?"

"In my dreams, I have seen many strange visions. I don't know if they're real and what are fake. But it wasn't until the dream began to come true that I began to fear that the end would eventually come, and I gave myself the name of Nimesis. This word is one of the few fragments of my memory of that dream, a symbol of revenge, and I hope to rebel against my fate. ”

"Wait......" Brando seemed to be listening to an unbelievable story, and he realized that he had understood what Nimesis was saying, and they corresponded to what had happened in the previous world. But as soon as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by the female knight: "Don't interrupt. ”

The knightess continued: "Because of such a desire, I came to the princess. But I found my thoughts to be a bit wishful thinking, and I joined the royal party, but just like I saw in my dreams. The royal party could not prevent this from happening, and Eruin was like a sinking ship that had been swept into a storm, so that everyone on board could only watch it be pulled into the center of the whirlpool......"

At this point, she paused: "Do you believe what I say?" ”

Brando's thoughts at the moment are no less than the day he crossed over to Buche, and his mind is the same mess. He had a vague sense of connection, but he couldn't grasp the clue at all. Hearing the female knight's question, he nodded stiffly: "It's an unbelievable story, but ......"

"But you're right, because you've experienced a part of it." Nimesis asked quietly, and the question gave Brando a thrill.

He stared at her.

"Because it had the same opportunity for me," Nisthes did not shy away from Brando's gaze, "until one day I noticed that a qiē was starting to deviate from its original trajectory. ”

“…… From which day. Brando had already guessed something, but he asked in an almost ghostly tone, his voice shaking.

"From the day Grudin's death."

Brando shuddered slightly.

The female knight seemed to have never said so much in her life, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you understand, Mr. Brando. I know that you are the only chance to change this qiē, and only you can keep Eruin from falling into ruin. Because I know that you have been through the same history as me—"

"Although I don't understand where you came from, maybe you had the same dream as me, but I at least understand your thoughts." She looked back at him with bright eyes, "You're not going to let it happen again, are you?" ”

Brando sat silently on horseback, not answering for a moment.

"Why are you suing me about this?" After a while, he asked the same question as before.

"Because I want to help you—"

Nimesis replied.

"Help me?"

"That dream was clear and vague, and it made me know something trivial. Although I can't even remember exactly when the war between Eruin and Madara broke out, I can't tell who is the enemy and who is the friend, there is a barrier between history and me-" She paused slightly, "But, you know, she knows more than you do." I can help you, Brando. ”

"Like now?" Brando took a soft breath. He knew that Nimesis was right, the senior sister knew more than him, and he was still a complete rookie before Lin Mao's age. And much of his information about the era before this comes from the records of the forum after that.

But before the outbreak of the First War of the Black Roses, Senpai was already a senior regimental leader.

It's just that he didn't expect that even in another world, she would still stand by his side as before.

Brando suddenly felt a slight chill in the corners of his eyes, and he blinked, "Can you remember everything, Lady Nimesis?" ”

"I can't," replied the knightess calmly, "but I can remember at least part of it." ”

"That's enough," Brando smiled, his mood completely calming down. He stopped his horse and stretched out his hand to the other party: "With Martha as a witness, the cooperation is pleasant." ”

Nimesis also stopped. This is a common form of teaming up in the game, and she was slightly stunned, as if she felt a little different from each other.

But she just reached out and touched Brando's finger lightly: "Happy cooperation, but don't try to take advantage of me-"

Brando: "......"
