The Amber Sword - 570. Chapter 570 Act Three Hundred and Four Maelstrom VIII

The silver lightning outside the window occasionally glided across the dark sea, lighting up the sky like a beam of dazzling fire. Brando sat silently beside the bed, and not far away, Princess Magdal lay flat on the bed, as quiet as a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale that fell asleep.

After a while, Otales’s voice sounded in his heart: “Brando, you guessed it right, this little girl is not human, and even—”

“Not even a creature.” Brando’s tone was calm.

“So you guessed it.” Yu Jie’s hoarse voice was slightly surprised.

“The scriptures of the creation of the world, the Cruz people’s epic poem “The Poetry of Blue” said:’The life of the mortal world was born from the water, multiplied on the earth, blessed by the wind, and endowed with wisdom by the flame’. In the beginning, a lofty kindness walked on the surface of the water, giving the humble, tiny creatures that float on the water spirit, so life became’, but light and darkness complement each other, and there are both positive and negative, so above the gods The man decided that’the end of life is the kingdom of the dead, where the dead gather and are governed by a god (1)’, but beyond the boundaries of life and death, there is a third camp, namely stone, Metal and other’things without souls’.”

(Note: The god of the dead, the darkness under the light, the monarch of Eternal Death, Coss)

“I don’t see that you still have a lot of research on “The Poem of Blue”. I probably know that few people can read the ancient scriptures in this era. And in the age of the war of the saints, these scriptures are in contrast to prophecies and contradictions. For us, it is no less than a lighthouse in the dark.” Although he can’t see it, Brando still feels Otales turning his head and looking out the window, he can’t help but look over there too——

A lighthouse stands on the cape of the stormy sea, and a beam of light in the darkness pierces the deep sea like a sharp sword, as if the only truth between this subverted heaven and earth lies.

The magical storms that occurred on the edge of the world of order are converging, affecting the civilized world more or less. This year’s storm off Ampersel is more fierce than ever before, but few people have noticed this anomaly. Sailing boats all buckled their sails and entered the port. The owner of the ship waited for the first time out to sea after the storm subsided. .

“I have a very close relationship with the mage in the tower. Master Otales, you know, in a sense, I am a half mage. I am very interested in history, not just the poetry of the Cruz people. , Even I have read some fragments of the black prophecy.”

“Although you are reasonable, I always feel that you are hiding something from me,” Otales said with a small smile, and Brando could even feel the narrow eyes of the wind elf mistress in this tone. ” Also, I wish you could call my sister instead of’Master Otales’.”

“Then I can’t say it.” Brando replied embarrassedly.

Otales chuckled.

“Then you are my student, there is always no problem calling me a teacher.”

“Teacher.” Brando exclaimed respectfully. Otales was not related to him, but he had given him a lot of significant help, and even saved him more than once; this kind of care is like Brando didn’t say anything about the love of an elder for the younger generation, but he was always very grateful in his heart.

Otales laughed: “Okay, then, what are you going to do next?”

She wasn’t the only one who asked this, but there were a lot of people in the house. Freya, who stood side by side with Little Roman, didn’t know that Brando was talking to a hero, but when she saw Brando’s face move, she hurriedly asked: “How about, Brando?”

Brando came back to his senses.

He glanced at the other people in the room. Sue, Antitina, Charles, Tabby, Flor and Tina, and the rest of the Rubys mercenary group. In the distance, there are also red-haired girls who have been silent by his side, who are basically the core of his small group.

“Princess Magdal’s wound passed through the heart. I said that if it were a normal person, it would be an irreparable fatal injury.”

“Ah…” The silly girl Freya was stunned for a while, she couldn’t help but shivered and pointed to Brando: “But…Coco…Brando, you said clearly…”

Brando couldn’t help but smile, “I said, if it is a normal person, this is an irreparable fatal injury.”

“Oh, Brando, you mean this little girl is not a normal person, right?” Among all the people, Roman reacted the fastest and called out immediately. The others also reacted immediately and couldn’t help but look at him suspiciously.

“Don’t forget that you are also a little girl!” Brando glared at the merchant eldest, then he nodded, “I hope you will not spread the word about this. Princess Magdal has not been fatally injured, because she It’s not human.”

“Not a human? Is she a half-elf like Princess Griffin?” Freya asked puzzledly, and couldn’t help but look at the ears of the princess lying on the bed-but she was still the same as ordinary people.

“No, to be precise, she is not even a creature.” Brando replied word by word.

“what!?”

Everyone was taken aback.

Brando was silent for a moment, in fact it was difficult for him to accept this fact at first. However, when checking the opponent’s injury, he realized that there was something wrong. First of all, when he opened the opponent’s’status’ window, the name and other statuses were all clear at a glance.

Magdal’s real name is’Magdal Armandro Dour de Antobreu”, Armandro Dur is the surname of her matrilineal family, and Antobreu is his fief name. The naming rules of this name are completely in line with Antobro is the local custom.

At the same time, it also fits Brando’s memory.

The name, as well as information such as gender, are all known to Brando, so it will be displayed on the status. But there is one detail that caught his attention, that is, what is Magdal’s race:? ? ? .

This is very unusual. In theory, Magdal is a human being. Not to mention human beings, even some common races are easy to distinguish. This is common sense, so theoretically it is impossible for him to distinguish between them.

The first time he saw Magdal’s corpse, Brando was in a mess, and he hadn’t noticed this detail. But looking back, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Examining the opponent’s body carefully, he immediately discovered another problem. The battlefield emergency told him that Princess Magdal died at least two hours before. However, a few minutes after the death of the person, the muscles began to loosen, and the skin became discolored and hard. , This change will appear quite obvious in the first hour, but the princess at the time could not see this sign.

The point is that although her skin is cold, it has maintained moderate elasticity, and it looks as if it is in a healthy state. In Warnd, most of the pain and illness are accomplished by herbalism and magic, so most people don’t have the common knowledge of biology, which is well-known in modern times. However, in Brando’s view, these details are very different. It’s normal.

Therefore, he quietly checked the opponent’s pupils, and his heart was suddenly shaken, and Magdal’s pupils in a dead state were dim and dull, as if the originally bright flame had gone out. It looks like the eyes of the dead, but the pupils are not enlarged, and most importantly, there is a ray of light like extinguished sparks deep in the fundus.

In Brando’s memory, there is only one kind of existence that will show such a sign after death.

That is the ember glow of the core of the soul, and there is only one kind of “life” that needs it to drive-the doll.

He almost yelled out of fear at the time. The first reaction was whether this was a stand-in for the princess, but then he realized that it was impossible, because he immediately found the Wind Elf from the dead princess. ‘Silver jewelry’, this jewelry was given to the other party at the auction in the afternoon.

If this doll is a stand-in for Princess Magdal, then she doesn’t need to leave this thing at all, lest she will be brought out of the meeting with Brando.

Moreover, the princess of Antobro might not be too exquisite as a doll. Except for the only evidence of the pupils, there are no features of inanimate bodies visible from the top of the body. There are flesh and blood, just like ordinary people. And whether it is wisdom, personality or feelings, they are completely indistinguishable from normal people.

Brando could hardly believe that the girl who had discussed with him how to help his best friend, and who had a firm belief and a pure heart, was a doll, but after Otales carefully checked it with his hands , Finally came to the conclusion that the other party is indeed a special existence very different from ordinary life.

To be precise, it is a very special doll. At least with Brando’s knowledge, he has never seen such a wonderful life form. The princess is obviously not the kind of soulless, rigid construction creature.

Brando is more willing to agree that she is a very special’race’, in fact Otales also agrees with this. In fact, I have seen such an existence in the memory of Wind Elf Yu Jie. They used to be puppets, but later they were endowed with spiritual wisdom and formed a race by themselves.

This race is rune dwarves.

Since there is the same existence, then Magdal’s existence may not be so strange. But Brando is curious about the identity of the other party. As a princess of the Principality, Magdal is not an inexplicable person who exists out of thin air like him. He just doesn’t know her parents-whether Duke Antobro and his wife knew this. A fact-if you don’t know, then it’s interesting.

At least it seems that Magdal herself has no knowledge, and she has always considered herself a human. Even in history, Brando has never heard of this rumors. But he remembered one thing. Rumor has it that this nun princess had a very miserable life after marriage, and she even disappeared in the end…

Originally it was just a piece of noble history-like gossip, but now it seems a bit subtle.

Brando shook his head and threw these messy thoughts out of his mind. After carefully explaining his thoughts to everyone next to him—of course, except for the last guess—everyone couldn’t help but stare.

“Wait, Brando, are you saying that Princess Magdal is a doll?” Not to mention Freya, even Antitina was a little stunned, “But…but…”

“No, in fact, Her Royal Highness is not a puppet, this is just a metaphor.” Brando shook her head and explained: “In short, Princess Magdal’s vital signs are not the same as we know. She has no blood circulation, is not a carbon-based creature, but a constructed life, but like us, she also has her own soul.”

“What is blood circulation, and carbon-based creatures? Is that a mage’s vocabulary?” Antitina asked puzzled.

“Ahem,” Brando immediately realized that he had made a mistake, but with the difference between his knowledge system and these people, this question is really difficult to explain, and can only cover up: “That’s a technical term, just listen to it. Well, in short, it’s like…”

“It’s like a rune dwarf, right? Brando said it, but was Uncle Oldham really a puppet before?” Roman couldn’t help but curiously asked. The young lady’s thinking is always different from ordinary people. .

“No,” Brando replied grimly, “That was tens of thousands of years ago. If it is a puppet, it must be Oldham’s ancestor. It has nothing to do with him!”

“Oh!”

“But… the princess has no knowledge of this matter. Is it that Princess Magdal has been lying to Princess Griffin?” Although she only spent a short time with the future Princess Regent, Freya has already Began to think about the other side.

Brando’s heart jumped, he immediately winked at the other party and shook his head: “No, I suspect that Princess Magdal doesn’t know it herself.”

“I don’t know it?” Freya was startled slightly and wanted to ask again, but she immediately closed her mouth obediently when she saw Brando’s wink. Immediately she also reacted. If Princess Magdal didn’t know it, the problem would be serious.

She thought for a moment, and changed her words: “Then how can we save her?”

“To be precise, Princess Magdal is not dead at all. As for how to wake her up, I need to check some information-but right now, we have more important things to do.”

Brando glanced out the window.

There is hardly any ray of light before dawn between the dark sea and sky, but the hourglass has finished its final journey, and the most important day in Ampersel’s history is still approaching.

But when things came to an end, he hesitated.

What caused Marquis You Xi and others to murder a princess and a high-ranking priest in the temple next time? The relationship here is too great. What did Princess Magdal see in the end?

The originally clear history seemed to be darkening, as if a huge vortex was forming in front of him.
