The Amber Sword - 1383
What appeared in front of Faina was an abyss. A long and narrow natural stone bridge held the two ends of the abyss. The gray bridge with a width of only two or three feet stretched straight forward until it disappeared in the shadow.
The cold wind blowing from both sides of the abyss has a visible shape, like a series of pale and cold ghosts emerging from the darkness, screaming from the stone bridge up and down, bringing Faina to the lace-rimmed placket and collar. The blow turned upside down, covering Gai’s pale face due to excessive blood loss.
The dim light of the torch flickered, and the girl’s blue sea-like eyes became deeper and deeper under the shining light.
A long line is advancing on the stone bridge, there are Cruz people, and there are also Faenza people. Walking in the forefront are Vala, Veronica, Sidney, and Rodriguez, head of the Knights of the Silver Horse. With several dukes, behind them are a group of knights, human soldiers.
Faina followed Andrrig and Modefice, and Modefice walked all the way to introduce this place to everyone. This was once the hometown of the Alka dwarves-Anlong Mine, where the dwarves established an ancient The kingdom of the dwarves, but then the deep underground tunnel opened up the connection between the big beehive and the surface world, and countless monsters emerged from the darkness. Soon after, the kingdom of the dwarves was wiped out by the invasion of the monsters.
Faina has heard of this terrible underground city, where wealth and danger coexist are buried in the darkness. Many adventurers came here through Mehhothoven, and then disappeared in this labyrinth-like underground cave system. Some people say that it was the ghosts of the dwarves who wandered in the mines that took their lives. These ghosts wandered in the dark corners, repeating the chattering and remorse day after day. Those voices lurking in the dark wind are chilling. .
Faina coughed a few times and couldn’t help but tugged at the wound, making her face pale. While covering her collar to prevent the cold wind from pouring into her neck, she whispered to the vampire sister and brother in front of her: “Andriguez, Mordefense, is Brando here too?”
Andrieg turned her head and glanced at her. There was an unpredictable brilliance flashing in her pure blood-like eyes, but she did not answer. Mordefense smiled apologetically at this report and replied: “Master is not here. We will be here because of an accidental reason.”
“Is it safe here?” Rodriguez, the chief of the Knights of the Silver Horse, asked.
“Don’t worry, this is under the mountains of Alkhash. It is unlikely that these monsters will find here easily. Moreover, this is also the ruins of the saints. There are two icons at the other end of the stone bridge. They will prevent the unpredictable invasion. By.”
“The ruins of the saint?”
“The dwarves have built defensive facilities at the entrance of their kingdom, which can dispel all evil creatures in the dark.”
“Unfortunately, they obviously didn’t expect that the destruction would come from the other side.” Andrique sarcastically said in a cold tone.
These words silenced the Cruz people.
“Where does this lead?” Rodriguez asked again.
“This underground passage has not been used for hundreds of years. It leads south to the southern foot of the Alkhash Mountains, where is the forest to the north of the Wilderness of the Four Realms.” Mordefeis replied.
“Is it reliable?”
“Quite reliable.”
Rodriguet fell silent. He was not familiar with the vampire siblings, but he could see that they knew these Cruz people, so he turned his questioning gaze to Veronica.
“Did Brando let you come here to guide us, Modeface?” Veronica finally spoke, with a low voice, just like her current mood.
Mordefeis shook his head: “No, Ms. Veronica, we have been separated from our master since we left Rušta. We came here by accident, knowing that you are trapped here because Some other adventures.”
“Adventure?”
Everyone walked along the stone bridge. On the platform at the other end of the long bridge, the outlines of two huge stone statues gradually appeared. In the darkness, two giant statues of dwarves, about sixty feet tall, were gradually appearing. Like ants, both statues hold warhammers high in their hands.
The edge of the warhammer exudes a hint of cold light.
Everyone was seized by this underground spectacle. No one, including Walla, thought that there would be such a place underground in the Alka Mountains.
“In fact, there is an adult who wants to see you.” At this time, Mordefense’s voice continued to ring: “He told us that there will be a war in the Odos Pass that will affect the future destiny of the Cruz people. But the future is hidden behind a lot of fog, and he asked us to come and guide you—”
“It’s a big tone.” Rodriguez was very dissatisfied with the remarks and snorted coldly.
But Veronica seemed a little surprised. She was able to predict this battle at Odos Pass, which was considered a top-notch existence among astrologers. She asked respectfully: “An adult, he had anticipated Odos. Is there a battle at Doss Pass? Has he already expected the origin of the monsters outside?”
“I’m sorry,” Mordefense smiled. “Andrew and I don’t know this. In fact, we only know so much.”
“Mephistopheles…?”
“Master Juggernaut came here with us, but he seems to know the master, but he didn’t tell us.”
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who the mysterious man was.
“Mordface,” Faina said at this time: “On the battlefield before, your strength was much stronger than when you were in Rusita. It’s also because of that adult?”
She had fought side by side with Mordefice and others in Rusita. Naturally, she knew that the strength of the opponent was about the elements. However, when the opponent rescued her from the crystal cluster on the battlefield, the level of strength displayed was obvious. Not only that, but the other party also showed a peculiar power. She had only seen similar power in Brando in the past.
“Yes,” Mordefeis replied, “This is the encounter that the adult gave me and Andriguez. With this power, we can return to our master as soon as possible.”
说者无心,听者有意,法伊娜闻言不禁愕然,要素开化对于这个世界上许多人来说便是倾其一生可以达到的最高水准,而听墨德菲斯的话那位神秘大人物仿佛举手抬足间便可以将人提升到更高层次,这是什么样的力量水准?
一时间,早先对于这对吸血鬼姐弟有所了解的瓦拉、维罗妮卡和西德尼等人心中不禁掀起了惊涛骇浪,倒是之前没有见过墨德菲斯与安德丽格的一众克鲁兹贵族与罗德里格等人一脸平静,对此没有什么直观的感受。
法伊娜忍不住咬了一下下唇,心中隐隐默然,心想自己与布兰多的距离越来越远。在信风之环时,她还是帝国唯一一位女剑圣的学生,梅霍托芬家族最受宠爱的千金小姐,而顷刻之间,两人的身份地位便已经发生了交错,此刻连帝国都分崩离析,她的家族自然也无法幸免,如今她一点点变得成熟起来,却只能看着对方前行的背影了。
伊莉丝亦步亦趋地跟在自己姐姐背后,以她的年纪来说对于这些大人的话题并不是太感兴趣,虽然帝国崩灭,但至少家人还在身边,因此她并未感受到多少忧愁之情,反而眼珠子一转好奇地问道:“墨德菲斯,你们的主人是怎么样一个人,你之前怎么管我姐姐叫女主人呢——哎呀!”
她话还没有说话,便给自己的姐姐咬牙切齿地狠狠拽了一把。
“嘻嘻嘻,姐姐你是不是害羞了?”
“闭嘴,伊莉丝!”
经过两座矮人石像,众人穿过一段漫长的漆黑的过道之后,黑暗中逐渐浮现出一扇大门的轮廓。大门仿佛由整块的巨石雕琢而成,表面浮雕上覆满金线,上面的图案是矮人诞生的历史,火星从工匠之神伊姆的熔炉之中飞溅而出,落在白银平原之上,便形成了矮人的形象。
这是在苍之诗上记载的历史,众倒都也认得,事实上在断剑山脉的矮人王国中也有一座类似的地下城门,但那个规模比起这个来小得多,据说阿尔卡矮人继承了符文矮人的一部分文化,现在看来传闻所言非虚。
大圣座瓦拉在众人之中一直默默地没有开口,他的目光落在这两扇大门之上,心中一直在思索着某些事情,他回想起一些关于这座圣山的传闻,还有六十年前发生在这里的一幕幕。
The gate was tightly closed, and it was more than forty feet high, only inferior to the height of the two giants. You need to look up to see the whole picture. When everyone approached this door, the door automatically made a dull bang, and slowly opened inward, as if to welcome guests.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, only Rodnigue frowned and muttered: “Pretend to be a ghost.”
Behind the gate, there is a very wide hall. The hall seems to be immersed in the deep darkness. The square pillars stand under the light of torches, resembling the trunks of the dark forest, and the light of the fire stretches the dark shadows. , Sticking to each other.
The tops of these pillars are completely integrated into the dark shadows, and you can barely see part of the dome when you look up. This cave may be naturally formed, and the shadows are densely covered with upside-down stalagmites.
Deep in the hall, Faina saw a fire.
The fire is located in the center area guarded by dozens of columns, and it radiates from a silver candlestick on a low table of red pine wood. Next to that table is a bench, a man in a silver robe and monocle. The old man is sitting in a chair.
Before everyone arrived, the old man was holding a thick eight-size book in his hand and was reading attentively, as if he noticed Faina’s gaze, he closed the book suddenly, and raised his head, revealing a pair of bright red eyes like agate.
Miner–
Everyone trembled in their hearts.
