Act Twenty-Four: The Lionheart
Xiang didn t mean to bring it to you, but I think you can do it, he was silent for a moment, raised his head to look at the young man, and said.
Brando sat on his horse, grasping the reins with one hand and hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.
Alberton knew he wouldn't trust himself, but he didn't care. The Undead Knight puffed up his chest and raised his sword and pressed it in front of his left knee, kneeling on his right knee, placing his hands on the sterling silver gauntlets of Pale Fang, and read: "The two moons shine together, the king sleeps in the valley, the shadow of the holly tree points to the northwest, the stars fade, and the morning sun descends to power."
Brando's face remained unchanged as he sat down on his horse and passed by Alberton. Then turn the horse's head around and go back. There are also many of these specious puzzles in the game, but he has not been a master of this before, and the two moons shine together, so it is natural to say that the moment when the two moons of Tiender appear in the sky together, the king is sleeping in the valley, and the first thing that makes him think of is the place of the bones of the saint, but then he thinks that it may also be the tomb of a former king of Eruin.
The shadow of the holly tree pointed to the northwest, and Brando's brow furrowed slightly, Eruin seemed to have no holly species, was it just a metaphor? Or is it a reference to the insignia of some nobleman? But the holly tree represents the sacred in Vajnd's heraldry, and there are not a few noble families who have holly leaves on the Eruin family coat of arms.
As for the fading stars and the authority of the morning sun, Brando couldn't guess at all.
Alberton deliberately left him time, and he saw Brando raise his head again before he said again: "The double-sided stone statue is silent, has the sage's oath ever forgotten?" The Emerald Lake, the Holy White Mountain, the Stone of Stones, the Sword of Swords"
"Wait!" Brando suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement, a sword in a sword? Could it be that Alberton is talking about the real Lionheart?
The Lionheart was the first king of Eruin, "Ek the Merciful." A sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in the family. But the Lionheart is not only a symbol of the Lion Dynasty, it was also one of the four sacred relics of Cruz, but since Ek brought it out of the Empire, it has become a symbol of the Eruin royal family.
However, what everyone knows is that the Lionheart Sword was lost as early as the civil war in Eruin, and each subsequent king has only held a quality, but the number of people who know this secret is extremely limited, and once it is stabbed, it is estimated that it will cause a big wave.
It was only after the fall of Eruin that East Brandoe learned of this.
If Alberton was indeed talking about the Lionheart, then the second half of this riddle makes sense. The Sage's Oath is supposed to be Ek's holy knighthood vow at the Lionheart to lead the people of the southern empire away from the arrogant and greedy aristocracy, and he rose up against it, hence the benevolent meaning of the title.
But what does the Emerald Lake, the Mountain of Sacred Self, and the Stone of the Stone mean? Brando couldn't help but be puzzled for a moment.
Legend has it that the true Lionheart has the power to control the rise and fall of the kingdom, and it seems to be the case, since Eruin lost the true Lionheart, it has declined from generation to generation, and finally perished. However, Brando does not believe this theory, the rise and fall of a kingdom is tied to a sword, and no matter how legendary such a sword is, it is just a way to shirk responsibility.
But he must have wondered where the legend of this sword was, and why it was so widely spread in the story of the bard. According to the above, this sword is at least a gold-level fantasy weapon.
Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the Emerald Lake?" ”
Unexpectedly, Alberton shook his head: "I don't know either." It's just that I often think about it, I often remember these two sentences, and there is even a sacred oath that binds me. But I don't know where these memories come from or why they are always pervasive. ”
"Not every undead likes to reminisce." Brando replied, and it suddenly occurred to him that Alberton might not have been such a simple person during his lifetime, at least in his memory, Alberton had nothing to do with the royal family.
"I'm special, and I know it myself," replied little Alberton, who straightened his helmet and continued, "Most of the undead who live in darkness have intelligence, but I am not like them, so I do not trust them, but when I see you, young man, I think maybe you can help me solve this puzzle." ”
Concubine Bran did not answer. He saw what Alberton said as if it were true, but he wouldn't be gullible either. He was thinking about what the Emerald Lake, the Holy White Mountain, and the Stone within the Stone were.
He suddenly noticed that the double-faced stone statue was silent, and he couldn't help but shudder.
The double-sided stone statue is silent, could it be that the stone sage in the southern basin of Jean Denel is being spoken? The more Brando thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, if the revelation was revealed to the stone sage, it would be a bit troublesome, and it would take at least the sage slate to get the stone sage to speak.
But where do you want to go and get the Sage Slate? The nearest Sage Slab should arrive in Pragues in half a month, and the black market price is half a million tors, which is not a small amount of money.
The only consolation is that the basin where the stone sage is located is in the same direction as what he is going to do next, which can save a lot of time, and Brando's time is really not much.
With this in mind, he sat down on his horse and asked, "That's all you have to say?" ”
Alberton nodded: "I have one more request. ”
"You say."
Brando glanced back, and the battle in the valley was nearing its end under the command of Leto and Mano.
Alberton took off the badge on his chest and said, "I want to die like a real knight, at least let my sword and my armor stay with me forever This badge is called the lion badge, it has great magical powers, it doesn't mean much to me now, I'll pass it on to you and this is my pocket, there is something in it that may be for you."
Brando knew that he could get his hands on the Pale Fang in addition to these things if he wanted to, and he wanted to give the sword to Freya. However, he looked at the "white knight" and finally nodded.
Both men knew that oaths meant less to a dead and a living than to believe in each other's promises, and Alberton probably said so much to him because he believed in him. For that alone, Brando won't backtrack.
Of course.
Alberton must die, and the refugees will not tolerate an undead high-ranking general to be with them
Brando took the badge and glanced at it, the brass surface was carved with the head of a lion: "Lion badge, conflict aura." Skill Badges! Brando almost didn't shudder and dropped the badge from his hand, the conflict aura is the core skill of the Templars, up to level twenty-nine, and non-professional can only be cultivated to level ten, the initial increase in point protection, the additional point protection is added to each level before level ten, and the point protection is increased at each level after level ten. After level 20, the increase in protection increases in an equal series.
That is, the level 2 conflict aura increases protection by 2, the left level increases by 3, and so on. Originally, this skill could increase the old point protection when it reached the feather level, but this badge would be much more useless if it was added to an additional level. Point protection...... What is the concept of point protection, which is almost equivalent to frontal armor, almost equivalent to the defense power of three sets of full-body plate armor.
The moment Brando took the badge and set a course of his own, the Templars! Because he also knows that there is an all-steel armor that also clashes the aura skill, in addition to a fierce lion shield and a clash aura. In this way, after advancing to the Templars, he can gain additional protection points from the proximity.
It was a mobile fortress, and it wasn't just him, all the soldiers within sixty feet of him were equivalent to tanks, so what kind of concept was it to charge on the battlefield?
Brando suddenly remembered that Alberton was dressed in all-steel armor back then, no wonder in the later period of Madara it has always been known for its terrifying defense among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Alberton the Conqueror, worthy of it, is the Conqueror Alberton who charged into battle.
However, although he turned the river and the sea in his heart, he was silent on his face. After days of life and death, Brando has become more and more mature than before, and he doesn't know what he will do if he wants to get such a badge in the game.
He put away the badge and opened the other party's waist bag to take a look. However, he immediately found that the white knight's collection was not rich, and it was full of low-grade materials, the most valuable of which was a few pieces of pure gold, which was the material for making all steel armor, it seemed that the future Four Knights of the Apocalypse had already begun to make plans at this time, and it also knew the power of this badge.
Brando couldn't help but glance up at the other party.
"No more requirements?. He asked.
Alberton shook his head: "Please do it." ”
Brando knew that it would be dishonorable for him to die here so alone, and that the knight would at least die at the hands of the enemy on the battlefield. Return to the bosom of the earth. He didn't have time for Alberton to return to Earth, but at least he could fulfill his previous wish.
Charles drew his sword and stepped forward, but Brando stopped him.
He pulled out the elven treasure in a cold sweat, and then exchanged glances with Alberton. Then he walked over, bent down with great difficulty, and stabbed his sword into the chest.
Alberton cracked his mouth and smiled, the flame in his eye flickering.
"I tell you so much with my memories of life, young man." "It's because I'm still Alberton of Madara until I die."
"I should probably thank you for relieving me, little
The Undead Knight sighed, "But in the same way, I died as a dark nobleman. The eternal Madara symbolizes the flame of immortality, and I just didn't expect to lose."
The soul fire in Ann's eyes finally dimmed.
That "White Knight." Alberton was dead, and Brando knew that there would be no more Horsemen of the Apocalypse from this moment on.
He looked at the other party's wreckage in some silence, and then watched as the silver light rose from its wreckage and merged into his own body. It was as if a warm force had evenly soaked his whole body, and he had never felt it before before when he had absorbed the experience, but Brando understood at the moment that it was power, the power of pure soul.
He had gained 1,300 points of experience from this column commander of more than 30 levels, plus the sum of several battles before and after. In the few hours since he killed Sassar, he had already gained close to two thousand experience points.
It seemed like an upgrade would be more than enough, but Brando didn't do that, and he suppressed the urge to know that it was time for him to stock up on experience. After all, he still has a lot to do after the war. He looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds cleared at this moment, revealing the cross-shaped constellation behind him that glittered in the dark sky.
Knight's Seat.
Then he raised the statue of the white deer in his hand, saw the graceful creature showing its form from the top of the hill on one side, and then turned and disappeared to the northeast.
Brando turned around and saw Leto lean over on his horse.
A lot of zombies were found on the hills left and right, and Leto said in a low voice.
"I understand that there is not much difference in time." Brando replied calmly, "So let the refugees get on their way, because in other words, we don't have much time to waste." ”
Tian's question about the update time is generally updated in the evening
