The Amber Sword - 1353. Chapter 1353-Act Two Hundred and Forty-fourth The Undead Moves North, The Slate War (Part 1)

Madara’s eternal death is a city established in the center of the place where Rothacher meets the river of sudden death. Rothacher represents the meaning of “eternal eternity” in the ancient sayings of the mountain people. The surface runoff flows southward for more than 700 kilometers, and then flows into the sea of eternal death in the Tauchik area.

The area where the two rivers flow is the most prosperous and prosperous area in Madara. Even in this land, there are many human beings; for example, in the capital of the undead, there were close to 120,000 people living before the turmoil. The population of humans, elves, or other species of creatures are permanent, but the number of undead populations is relatively small—unless the low-level undead without wisdom are also counted.

There are living creatures, there are the necessary survival supplies. What’s more, the necromancers also need all kinds of materials. The dark nobles also need minerals, armors, weapons, and various materials, and commercial activities arise from this. Therefore, Madara’s eternal capital is not actually the dark, dead, cold, or even depressed city that the world imagined.

This city is also full of its unique life breath. You can see shops, workshops, even mills and bars, as well as public buildings such as libraries and bathhouses, which are full of urbanization in this era. It’s not much different from what you see in the big cities of.

However, unlike the human cities in the southern border of Eruin and the Cruz Empire, the cities of the undead are often solemn and quiet, and the buildings they build are mostly tall, majestic and generally full of religious colors. Such buildings often use obsidian and The construction of cold materials such as marble creates an atmosphere of seriousness and clear lines.

Because of the well-known reasons, the undead advocate order, they are mad believers of Martha. Therefore, in this city, the streets and lanes are vertical and horizontal. You can’t see random objects, disorderly alleys, hawkers or illegal buildings built randomly. The whole city reveals. A faint militarized atmosphere.

Moreover, there are very few pedestrians on the street. If it is not necessary, the residents of this city rarely go out and do not chat. You rarely see idlers, because those without jobs will be transformed into undead and cast into the barracks. Here, women’s job is to give birth, men must work for the prosperity of the black rose of Bromantra, everyone has something to do-in short, Madara does not raise idlers.

As a traveler with a modern soul, Brando is not interested in this atmosphere. The diversified modern society advocates freedom and individuality. Although he is not a radical libertarian, he is more or less influenced by it. Influence, do not like this kind of extremely conservative and militarized closed society.

But the destruction of order is always easier than construction. Since the arrival of the goddess of the dead moon, the society of the undead has collapsed before his eyes.

At the moment he is walking on a street with others. My gaze swept across the ruins of the buildings on the street, where I could see, the streets in the early morning were covered with a layer of mist, which mixed with the dust on the ruins to form a haze.

Visibility on the street was extremely low. He did not use his special perception ability, and could only vaguely see people walking around in the fog in the distance, rumbling through the ruins for valuable possessions.

This street used to be an orderly artisan district a week ago. The bear goblin craftsmen allied with the undead built weapons for the necromancers, but in that disaster, the buildings collapsed one after another, leaving this devastated scene. The streets are also covered with horrible cracks, and occasionally lava can be seen gushing out of them.

There are granite deposits formed after the magma has cooled down. The order of the undead has long since disappeared, and now there are not many people left here. The dark nobles withdrew as early as three days after the disaster. After leaving the city, the army continued to stay in the city to fight against the evil god’s heirs, and then Queen Madara evacuated most of the civilians. After that, the necromancers and the army under their command began to withdraw from each city gradually.

Now that they are still in this city, most of them miss the best time to evacuate, or are people who have been abandoned. The undead can not give any guarantee to their people, they only make the most efficient choice.

Seeing this group of people marching towards the center of the city from a distance, the refugees in the mist became agitated and began to move closer here. Most of these people are humans and elves in the city. They hope to be taken out of the city, at least Avoid those terrible heirs of evil gods.

But it was obvious that their hopes fell through. Before they could get close, the black knights on the periphery of the team rushed over, raising a chilling sword to drive these people away. Seeing the black knight, these people showed a look of despair in their eyes. The black knight is the most indifferent and ruthless creature among the undead. What’s more, the people who can control them must be the great figures of the dark nobles. How can the great men care about their life and death?

Huang Huo, who was walking by Brando, frowned when she saw this scene. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn’t seem to say anything because of some concern.

Brando noticed the look of his student, turned his head and said to Queen Madara who was aside: “Those people are your people.”

“In the kingdom of the undead, there is no concept of people,” Queen Madara said lightly: “Only value, they used to be valuable, so they can survive here, but now they have lost the value of existence. So it can only fend for itself.”

It is difficult for Brando to imagine that such a country would have cohesion, but there is no doubt that the people who live here have accepted this logic from the very beginning. And those who came to Madara from the outside world are all people who escaped into the darkness and were exiled. Since they have chosen this path, they must accept all the rules in the dark world.

“Bringing these people out is just a small effort for you.”

“I never give alms.”

“This is not charity, but I ask you to do it.” Brando replied categorically.

Queen Madara frowned: “Reason?”

Brando looked at Huang Huo next to him, and replied, “Because this is my student’s choice. As a teacher, I don’t want her to scrupulously express her ideas for other reasons.”

As he said, he said to Huang Huo: “It is not wrong to be compassionate. You are my student. You don’t have to worry about anyone. If you think it is correct in your heart, then you should express it and be firm. Your position and will.”

Huang Huo was a little moved, and she bowed deeply, “Teacher, Huang Huo has been taught.”

“A pointless move,” Queen Madara replied, “but I promised it. It depends on your value. When I leave this city, I will take these burdens with me.”

In addition to the black knight who was accompanying him, Fang Qi and Mr. Liu were among them. Princess Magdal was among them. Mr. Liu didn’t have much empathy for these Madara people, and he didn’t have much expression on his face. And Fang Qi obviously didn’t agree with Brando’s view, and he even curled his lips. Only when the nun princess heard Brando’s statement, her frowning brows relaxed.

Indeed, for Brando, this action itself is really meaningless, or can save a few more people, but for the rest of the people, it is just a drop in the bucket. And it has nothing to do with his sympathy, because he can’t confirm whether these are worth saving, and he doesn’t have time to distinguish between good and bad, but he must tell his students that if he thinks the right thing, he must stick to it and shrink his feet. , Is it what the soldiers did?

Fortunately, it was obvious that Huang Huo himself seemed to be aware of this.

After this episode, the group continued to move forward. Their destination is the meditation shrine in the Temple of the Dead Moon, to be exact, the teleportation formation that has been built there. Since the fall of the Goddess of the Dead Moon, the most severely damaged Temple of the Dead Moon has long been turned into a forbidden zone. Now the Black Knight Guards, who belong to Her Majesty the Queen, are firmly guarded there. On the one hand, they are guarded against people with unpredictability Entering, on the other hand, is also to prevent the son of the evil god who escaped from the rift from destroying the magic circle.

According to the agreement between Brando and Queen Madara, they will be teleported to the central area near the Inner Sea of Death Moon to find the legendary stagnant world, solve the mystery of emerald and retrieve the natural orb. After sending them away, the undead will completely abandon the city, and the undead will complete an unprecedented migration under the will of the mercury rod. They may end up in two ways: one enters Eruin or Cruz, the other enters St. Osor eastward-if the information about peace that Freya brings back can be recognized by the wind elves.

Freya had already left the Land of Eternal Death by flying dragon earlier in the day, accompanied by her, the former Marshal of the Duchy of Antobro, Frank and Ms. Baiwu. Brando knew that what she brought back to Eruin next might not be a mild reform, and with the protection of a master like Frank, then the personal safety of the Valkyrie could at least be guaranteed. Moreover, for the alliance between Tonigel and His Royal Highness, the White Wolf Sword Saint is also the top combat power that the alliance urgently needs.

Because Brando had learned from Freya before that, Mephistopheles, Saint Grey Sword, did not return to Eruin, it is possible that, like Metisa, there was a problem with long-distance teleportation.

And Ms. Baiwu’s knowledge of the secrets of the era before the battle between the Dragon of Twilight and the Saint is sufficient to help Her Royal Highness and Antitina clarify their ideas on how to deal with the next war against the Dragon of Twilight. Besides, she herself is also a powerful magician, although she rarely shows it.
