The Amber Sword - 975. Chapter 975

The great emperor Grantodi had a romantic life, leaving behind countless descendants. Among these princes and princesses, only the sons and daughters of Queen Ophelia, the Queen of Silver belonged to the Queen. The third woman, loved by His Majesty and Queen. There are countless princesses in dozens of large and small countries in the south of Warnd under the rule of the Temple of Flame. If you compare these princesses to the stars in the night sky, then among the hundreds of millions of stars, There are always one or two brightest stars, just like the jewel Griffin of the nuns and princesses Magdal and Eruin that Brando is familiar with. But sixty years ago, the night sky of that era was only Belong to one person.

That is Princess Silver, Constance–

Constance can be said to be the kind of person who was born with a golden spoon. As the daughter of Emperor Grantodi and Queen Ophelia, she has an incomparably noble origin. As she grew up day by day, her beauty gradually spread outside the empire, even as far away as St. Osor, where the wind elves lived, in Farnzan in the north, and in the tenth place ruled by free mercenaries and merchants. In the city area, people are discussing the Princess of Cruz. And Constance is still the Apocalypse. When she was born, she had a part of the bloodline of silver. This is also the origin of the princess title. In her girlhood, the chief court wizard of the Cruz Empire, Master Geralt, asserted that she would become The most outstanding wizard of the future empire, just like the scholar girl Shiduo, Constance’s outstanding talents quickly attracted the attention of the Buga people. Ajani, the wizard leader of the Silver Society, once taught Girls’ Generation Her Majesty the Queen for quite a while.

But these alone are not enough to make her the successor of the empire, don’t forget that she has two elder brothers. Although the eldest son of Emperor Grantotti was wounded in the Northern War and has been injured and ill since then, he died young at the age of 27, but his second son was gifted and intelligent, and was not inferior to his elder brother. He was also the prime minister. No matter from which point of view, the support of the People’s Republic of China is the best candidate for the successor. For Emperor Grantodi, the best choice is to let his second son inherit the throne, and let his youngest daughter Constance become the palace mages or enter the temple of flames. For the royal family, this is undoubtedly the best choice of both worlds.

Brando knew that there had been such a big deviation in the development of the last thing-the Silver Queen finally took over the throne from the emperor. Some earth-shattering accidents must have occurred-these accidents were obviously the war in Alkhash. Happened above.

He asked: “What did they encounter there? What does it have to do with my grandfather? Was the trial of my grandfather meant to cover up the truth?”

“Don’t worry, take your time, little guy. They walked through the mist, guess what they saw there.” Turlaman looked at Brando with interest: “They found the inheritance of the Dark Dragon.”

“Inheritance of the Dark Dragon?” Brando was startled and shook the palm of his hand with a guilty conscience. In today’s Warnd, the relationship with the dragon of darkness is basically the same as that of the crossing mice. It can be understood by looking at the situation of the witches. They are only suspected by the world to have an affair with the dragon of darkness. The former servants of the Dragon, the Miner, were expelled from the civilized world and disappeared in the glacier for thousands of years; the last person in the human world to have Miner blood was the Knight of Grace 600 years ago. Dubd, the great knight of the regiment, was burned to death on the stake because he was found to be a quarter of Miner’s blood. That dark age is really chilling to mention.

Although it is not as harsh as it was hundreds of years ago, the Silver Queen is definitely unlikely to inherit the crown because of the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. Not to mention the throne, the greater possibility is that the royal family will be regarded as an ulterior scandal. Be imprisoned forever. But the development of history is bizarrely contrary to common sense, at least everyone knows who the supreme emperor of Cruz is now.

“It is the inheritance of that man. When Constance discovered them, they were sealed in two broken crystals.”

“Two broken crystals?” Brando’s heart beat faster, isn’t this a soul gem.

Turlaman nodded: “There has always been a legend among the mountain people living in Wallachian: According to legend, before the decisive battle, the dark dragon sealed part of its soul mark in a gray gem. The Grey Gem was discovered by a team of explorers in the Daxi Valley of the Baishan Mountains. It was called the Crown of Ashenvale. After the final battle, the crown of Ashenvale was artificially divided into several parts. The person who divided the gem was Conrad. The legendary craftsman with a quarter of the mountain people’s ancestry. He completed this work in a certain valley in Varach. Many mountain people were captured as coolies. Afterwards, most of them were killed, but A small number of people still survived, so this legend has been passed on from the surviving population to the present day.”

“And what Constance she found were two of the crowns of Ashenvale that were divided into six. The Miner called these broken crystals soul gems.”

Brando stood there, silent, before continuing to ask for a long time: “What then?”

Turlaman smiled slightly, before turning his words: “Everyone knows that Odin, the dragon of darkness, is the source of all evil and a tyrant. However, the envy of mortals towards the Miner and their coveting for the power of this tyrant has not stopped for a moment. Over. Why are people so keen to find the battlefield of the final battle, because the legendary dark dragon will keep the inheritance of the Miner people-the only inheritance of the golden blood since the mortal era after the dragon clan- On the battlefield.”

“The Dark Dragon left the Miner heritage on the battlefield of the final battle?” Brando frowned: “How can anyone believe such ridiculous rumors, if Odin left that heritage on the battlefield, four How can a sage be indifferent, besides, aren’t there still people of silver participating in the war?”

“You think this reason sounds ridiculous,” Turalman asked Brando with a smile, “Actually, it is not without a reason why this kind of rumor has spread. For thousands of years, people have tried everything. The way to find the glorious inheritance of the Miner people, but nothing was gained, and the only place left was the battlefield of the final battle. However, the four sages were the only ones who remained tight-lipped about the outcome of the final battle after the battle of the saints. Even the people of silver vowed to stick to a certain secret in accordance with the sacred covenant. In fact, everyone knows what that secret is about.”

“The inheritance of the Dark Dragon is too sensitive. If you want to get it, it will be difficult for the world to circumvent the justice of the war of the saints, but the knowledge and civilization of the Miner people are not. Constance is an imperial princess, of course. Knowing this, in fact, her goal was the latter from the beginning. If the empire can inherit the golden civilization, it will surely surpass Saint Osor and Faenzan, and it will also enable the emperor to surpass the temple of flames. Constance knows very well in his heart that now that the inheritance of the Dark Dragon is here, then the rumor is likely to be true, and the inheritance of the Miner is also here.”

“But she also knows that it is unrealistic for her and Gwendolyn to search the entire battlefield thoroughly—” Tulaman paused: “Of course, she didn’t know about Gwendolyn and theirs at that time. For her true identity, all she could think of was to turn to Darus and me for help, that is, your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather was the marshal of the Allied Forces of the Temple of Flame, and Constance was your grandfather’s deputy, but in fact it was nothing more than One of them, after all, to command such a large coalition army, your grandfather’s staff cannot have only one capable officer. At that time, he had several important deputies. One of them was Marshal Darren Hill of the Duchy of Antobro, and the other was me. .”

Darren Hill, Brando has heard of this name for the first time, but most of the top ranks of the coalition forces are appointed by the temple of flames from the best and outstanding soldiers from various countries. This marshal is probably also the Principality of Antobro. An incredible figure. As for this small country located in the southeast of the Cruz Empire, all he could think of for the first time was the nun princess.

Thinking of Magdal’s pure appearance like a goddess, and that firm and kind heart, Brando couldn’t help but feel in a daze. Such an excellent princess is naturally worthy of the world’s pursuit, even the Temple of Flame is no exception, but How many people know that there may be an inhuman soul hidden in the body of this princess.

He shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind. He listened to Tulaman continuing to say: “After she returned to the coalition army, she immediately ordered your grandfather as an imperial princess to send an army into the final battlefield, looking for information about the Miner people. Inheritance. But Constance is a very shrewd woman, even when she was the princess of the empire, this kind of extraordinary wisdom has already emerged. She knows the relationship between me and the Buga, so she privately begs me not to disclose this secret to The Silver Society, she also knows the feelings of Darus and I towards Eruin, so she made an oath that if one day the empire gets the inheritance of the golden civilization and stands on the top of the world, it will surely make Eruin permanent and true. Independence, the oath she made in the name of Gilt, the ancestor of the Cruz people, is naturally true and credible, so your grandfather and I were moved from the beginning.”

Speaking of this, Tulaman sighed: “This is because I know very well that this little princess of the empire is outstanding, sensible and sober, and will never covet the inheritance of the dark dragon. And the inheritance of the golden civilization is for cloth It’s not a taboo to be added to others. Civilization is passed down. In fact, it’s what we like to see. So I agreed to your grandfather.”

“Where is my grandfather?” Brando couldn’t help asking.

This question caused the elder of the Silver Alliance standing in front of him to pull his snow-white eyebrows and look at him a little weirdly. Gradually, the Great Emperor Grantodi even deliberately let him join the empire, and also treated him as a marshal, but was rejected by the old guy with the unique stubbornness and pride of the Eruin.” That said, but the old man’s wrinkled face couldn’t help flashing a hint of admiration and appreciation. This is his old friend and the backbone of the Eruin, but the color of pride quickly replaced desolation, and he shook it. He shook his head and said: “Girls have admired heroes and knights since ancient times, and a woman as outstanding as Princess Constance has naturally even higher eyes. Under the rule of the Temple of Flame, she can take a high look, probably There is only your grandfather.”

Brando almost squirted out a mouthful of water. He was so violently thundered that he couldn’t help but blurt out: “You mean my grandfather and Her Majesty the Queen…” The words got stuck behind the words, let his imagination go any longer. Rich, can’t believe that his grandfather almost became the silver queen’s man. And that woman is now the master of such a vast area as the Hazel Plateau in the west, the four-leaf clover field in the east, the mountains of Amman in the south, and the Ellanta Sea in the north, the supreme one of the empire, Cruz. His Majesty the Emperor of Man.

Sometimes the reality is even more absurd than the most bizarre knight novel, but it is also too outrageous, making him a little unacceptable for a while.

Tulaman nodded solemnly: “Although this love affair never surfaced, at that time the relationship between your grandfather and His Royal Highness the princess was actually an open secret within the coalition forces. Therefore, both public and private, your grandfather must Promise your Royal Highness.”

“Unexpectedly, two days after the incident, an unexpected turn occurred for all of us. Unexpectedly, the news spread quietly that night and reached the wind of St. Osor. In the ears of the elves and the Faenza people, when we reacted, the whole thing was completely messed up. In order to get ahead of us, the Faenza people and the wind elves took the lead in sending troops to the end despite the opposition of the Bugans. Because of this incident, Her Royal Highness was extremely disappointed with your grandfather. That night, I knew this secret. Only me, your grandfather and Gwendolyn and the other three. Gwendolyn and the three of them were the servants of the princess. , There is neither opportunity nor time to pass the message, and I have half the blood of the people of silver, nor do I have this motivation, and if you exclude it, only your grandfather is the most suspicious.”

Brando didn’t interrupt, but he knew in his heart that if he was the first to suspect in that environment, he would definitely be his grandfather. If he changes his position and he is in his grandfather’s position, he might also consider spreading the news. If personal feelings are excluded, for Eruin, the best situation on the continent should be that the Saint Osor, Faenza and Cruz empires contain each other and maintain a balance of power, so that a small country like Eruin can survive. Although it is said that the oath made by the Silver Queen is true and credible, it is only her oath after all. Let’s not say that she was not the emperor of the empire at that time. Even if she was, what about her hundred years later?

Therefore, the best way is to spread the news, muddy the water, let the Buga intervene, and let everyone lose their chance.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help asking: “Is it really my grandfather…”

“当然不是。”图拉曼断然摇头：“你祖父是什么人，岂会在他的女人面前两面三刀，他是顶天立地的英雄，即使是有正当的理由，他也不屑于使用这些阴谋。可是那时候公主殿下根本听不进他的解释，她直接行使帝国公主对于联军的监督权力，剥夺了你祖父的指挥权，将他软禁起来，然后自己率领军队进入了最后的战场。”

老人叹了口气：“其实以你祖父当时的威望，要想反对康斯坦丝是非常容易的，她虽然名义上有监军这重隐藏的身份，但联军中毕竟不只有克鲁兹人，何况仅仅凭借怀疑就剥夺联军元帅的军权，这于情于理也说不过去。可惜你祖父不愿意与公主殿下翻脸，这也酿成了后来的悲剧。”

“后来的悲剧？”布兰多忍不住皱着眉头，小心翼翼地问道。他只知道那后来自己的祖父受到了炎之圣殿的审判，而公主殿下在那之后不久就继承了皇位，格温多琳等三头龙现在看来是被龙族驱逐出境，放逐入乔根底冈的地下，勒令不得踏入沃恩德一步。但这其中究竟发生了什么，尽管众说纷纭，却始终没有一个定论，传说自己的祖父在深入阿尔喀什山脉时受到了来自于背后的攻击，这究竟是因为圣殿的迫害和阴谋，还是别的什么原因，就不得而知了。

“你也应该猜到了，现在看来，将消息传递出去的其实正是格温多琳他们三个。作为公主的内侍，他们自然没有机会，也没有动机和理由，然而若是作为龙，他们的行为就可以理解了。他们蛊惑康斯坦丝去寻找敏尔人的传承，但他们的真实目的其实正是黑暗之龙留下的灵魂宝石，既然他们已经找到了灰谷之冠的碎片，又岂肯轻易放弃？”

“早先他们和公主殿下站在同一条战线上，然而现在，康斯坦丝想要控制事态，将一切控制在帝国可以承受的范围之内，从这一刻起，他们的目标便背道而驰了。因此格温多琳他们立刻将消息散播了出去，先将水搅浑，然后再伺机夺取灵魂宝石——它们的目的，自然是为了黑暗之预言上那个关于黑暗之龙回归的传说。”

说到这里，图拉曼大有深意地看了布兰多一眼，直看得后者额冒冷汗，才继续讲述道：

“Originally, their conspiracy almost succeeded, but who didn’t expect that the secrets on the final battlefield were far from simple as they thought.” His voice became a little distant, as if he was reminiscing about what happened at that time. Everything: “When the Cruz people, the Faenza people, and the wind elves all entered the fog-shrouded battlefield, terrible things happened. One by one, the soldiers lost their minds, as if they were controlled by invisible power. Fight against each other until there are fewer and fewer people who can remain clear and sane… What’s more frightening is that this situation spreads like a plague, and is no longer limited to the mist, even the coalition forces stationed outside the battlefield. The army has also begun to be affected.”

“Things turned out of control. The Buga wanted to intervene a step too late. As the contact person of the Buga in the Cruze Allied Forces, I naturally knew the news for the first time. I knew it at that moment. The trouble is here-there is only one possibility in this situation right now, that is, there must be a huge seal on the final battlefield, and there must be some kind of evil that we didn’t know underneath it-and now, someone has touched this seal. We. We immediately notified the headquarters of the Silver Alliance. After searching in ancient books and dictating some sages who survived the War of the Saints, we confirmed the news. The secretive secrets of the four sages of the last battle were indeed related to this seal. As for what this seal is, even the People of Silver did not record at all, only a text describing the situation at that time from the side…”

“That paragraph was actually written on the appendix of the Sacred Covenant, and it described it like this:’I, Elroy Mithril, swear on the Sacred Covenant in the name of the People of Silver, in the four wise men’s Witnessing, the people of silver will take on the responsibility of monitoring the entire world from now on and keep this secret until the prophecy is fulfilled.'”

“That prophecy?”

“The prophecy is also written at the end of the appendix, which is described above:”

‘XVI:THETOWER——

The lost moon took away the light

XX:JUDGEMENT——

The light is lost.

XVII: THESTAR——

The silver generation was lost on the earth, walking forward in darkness and ignorance.

VIII: STRENGTH——

The coincidence of the emperor and the fool.

IX: THEHERMIT——

The rusty clockwork is being restored.

XXI:THEWORLD——

The sword that changes fate.

With half silver blood flowing in his body, Tulaman’s memory was so good that he described the entire prophecy verbatim. Brando heard the whole prophecy and couldn’t help feeling horrified, because he suddenly realized that he had seen this prophecy. When he had just crossed into this world, in those consecutive dreams, he had witnessed the preceding paragraph of this prophecy more than once.

“What exactly does this language describe?” He couldn’t help but blurt out.

But Tulaman shook his head: “We don’t know that Elroy was the leader of the previous generation of wizards in the Silver Society. He never even mentioned what would add such a paragraph to the top of the appendix, not to mention that he himself was also there. Lv Zhinian died unfortunately in an accident, and it is impossible for us to ask him for confirmation.”

“Then what is sealed under the final battlefield?”

“It’s… crystal,” Tulaman hesitated: “Behind the mist there is a majestic temple. According to the description, the temple is sixty-six feet high, and the two sides are hidden in the mist. I don’t know how much. It’s wide, it looks like the place where the last battle took place. The temple is very badly damaged, and in the center of the temple, a huge purple crystal is inserted diagonally in the ruins. The crystal seems to have fallen from the sky. , Inserted directly into the solid marble floor of the temple, causing the slate and mud to arch up, and half of the crystal’s volume was buried underground. Anyone who comes close to the crystal will be assimilated by the crystal and become a monster…”

“Become a monster,” Brando frowned, feeling something in his heart, and asked, “Become such a monster?”

Tulaman patted the back of the neck lightly: “From here, flakes of crystalline keratin will grow, and then the whole person will be gradually assimilated by the crystal, turning into a monster similar to half human and half crystal. At this time He has completely lost his reason, becoming like a beast, ferocious and bloodthirsty, and extremely hate the original human being of the same kind-or the wind elves.”

Crystallization disease——

Brando already understood what it was, and he couldn’t help but think of the crystallized monster he encountered in Ampersel for the first time. There is only one thing that can cause crystallized disease, and that is the Somir crystal.

…
