"Because the fall of mortals is almost inevitable." White Mist continued, "The Black Dwarves are creatures that fell into the mortal world. That's why they are so heavily influenced by the dark magic. The weak and powerless mortals are the most ambitious and greedy among the descendants of the gods. The numerous Holy Wars in their history and the change of power in the kingdoms built by the Four Sages all prove this —"
The Sprite nodded.
"What is he worried about? The descent of the Twilight Dragon? Why is he in such a hurry to find someone to inherit his path? "White Mist asked." But civilization has existed for six eras, and we even achieved a rare victory in the last war. Why is he in such a hurry? "
"I don't know," Tata replied. "Maybe it has something to do with the war outside the Elemental Barrier, or maybe it has something to do with Lady Martha's oracle. Like the other sages, Ellanta and I are actually very clear about the problems that mortal civilization may face, so we agreed with Lord Odin to become the Holy One and stay to inherit his path."
Brando silently listened to the conversation between the two before asking, "Is the Flame King also a Holy One?"
"Lord Flame King is not," Tata replied. "Among the four sages, only Lord Ellanta stayed to protect the world they created, but Lord Gretel understood that the Holy One only existed to deal with the enemies outside the Elemental Barrier, and the civilized world must ultimately rely on itself."
"In fact, he was also very clear about the bad habits of humans and elves, and also knew that Lord Odin's words might eventually come true, so he left a will before he died — if one day the successor of the Empire could not inherit his beliefs and will, then the family guarding the Holy Sword would take the Holy Sword out of the Empire and go to a pure land to build a new country."
"This country is Erouine?"
Tata nodded.
"But Erouine can't escape the cycle of the mortal world, can he?" Brando even recalled Erouine in "The Amber Sword". The once glorious kingdom was even reduced to ashes under the ravages of the undead.
On the surface, it looked like it had fallen into the hands of foreign enemies, but in reality, it had also fallen into the corruption of the nobles within the kingdom. In this era where elite politics dominated everything, the elite nobles were often the first to fall into self-destruction, causing the entire kingdom to be on the verge of collapse.
In this case, wouldn't the Flame King's efforts be in vain? He might be able to lead Erouine's glory for hundreds of years, but the faith of the Golden Flame would one day be covered in dust.
History was undoubtedly the best annotation in "The Amber Sword".
But this time the Sprite gently shook her head.
"I don't think the Flame King simply wanted to continue the faith of Cruz in a new land. Erouine built the kingdom for the Holy Sword Oderfeiss, and the Lionheart Sword that sealed its soul is its faith. The kingdom will fall, but this sword will stand on this land."
"What's the difference? Oderfeiss stays in the Cruz Empire, and it won't be harmed in the slightest."
"The difference is the land." Tata corrected him, "This land is special. Not only the Holy Sword Oderfeiss, but also the Halran Gaia, the Frost Chant Cinna, and the Azure Lance. Aren't they all sleeping on this land?"
"And the will of the mountains and rivers." Brando thought and added silently.
"So what's so special about this land?" He asked again.
The Sprite looked at him and did not answer the question.
But Brando understood what she meant. "You don't know either, Miss Tata?" He asked.
"Indeed."
"Perhaps," Tata said. "I only know that Lord Odin has entrusted this secret to a group of reclusive Silver Folk. Maybe you'll have a chance to get the answer to this question from this group of Silver Folk in the future."
"The reclusive Silver Folk." This sentence could only make Brando think of a name, and that was the Silver Elves. Shortly after the War of the Holy Saints, they suddenly escaped into the mountains and forests.
He asked carefully, "Are they the Silver Elves?"
This time he got an affirmative answer.
Brando felt a little thirsty. He did not expect this secret to involve the Bugas and the Silver Folk. All the abnormalities of these two Silver Folk after the war seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
It was just that he did not know the explanation yet.
He seemed to see a huge ice floe floating on the surface of the water. When he thought he knew enough, he found that it was only the tip of the iceberg.
He finally calmed down, but felt that the answers to all the puzzles seemed to have finally come back to the original point —
Originally, he just wanted to find the door to the true perfect body through the secret of the Seven Elements Scepter, but now it was obviously a little beyond Brando's expectations.
He found that the Holy Sword Oderfeiss, the Sword of the Earth, the Frost Chant Cinna, and the mountains and rivers seemed to have some inexplicable connection with Erouine, his second homeland.
— — Perhaps it was more than that.
Because he also knew that not only did Erouine have the above holy objects, but the Dark Orb hidden in his body at the moment was also one of the components of the Seven Elements Scepter.
These components were inexplicably gathered in this small kingdom.
What did this mean?
Brando felt his mind in a mess. The answers to the questions that he thought were simple and clear suddenly seemed to have become a little complicated. It was as if he had vaguely grasped some of the questions, but they were scattered and independent, like fragments that were difficult to understand.
He was silent for a while before he finally came back to his senses.
In any case, this was not his main concern at the moment. The situation on the Roman side was still unclear, and there was still a Dragon Queen to deal with in Shi Shu. Brando felt that he had to put other things aside and focus on the problem at hand.
After all, if dusk came, no matter how big the secret behind the Kingdom of Erouine was, it would be meaningless.
After figuring this out, he recovered from the previous shock and quickly sorted out his thoughts. He glanced at Miss Sprite and Lute, and said with a dry mouth:
"I have one last question about the Scepter of the Elements."
"Just say it, Mr. Brando." Miss Sprite's emotions seemed to be unaffected by the previous conversation, and her voice was as calm as warm water.
"As far as I know, the seven Scepters of the Elements were lost on the earth, and most of them did not maintain a complete form. Among them, the Scepter of the Mountains was divided into two by Himilud and turned into two sacred artifacts of Gaia — Halran Gaia and the Scepter of the Mountains. The latter included the scepter and the Orb, while the former was damaged thousands of years ago."
"Oderfeiss was also divided into three. The Orb of Flames and the Flaming Blade were still in a broken state until not long ago, and until I repaired it, in fact, it was still missing the scepter part."
He paused and continued, "… What I want to ask is, were they separated by someone, or were they scattered and lost due to forced reasons?"
"I'm not too sure about the specific reasons, but I can be sure that it was both," Lute answered him. As she had returned to her area of expertise, the little sprite spoke quickly, "Perhaps it was related to the war of the last era. In some of the recovered documents, there were actually some relevant introductions. For example, as you said earlier, the Scepter of the Mountains was divided into two by the Temple of the Earth due to an oracle of Goddess Himilud and was hidden in the mountains."
"So, this legend is true?"
"It should be credible. I also have relevant information in my memory."
Brando nodded silently, a little excited in his heart. "So, since these sacred artifacts were separated by someone, does it mean that they can be reassembled and repaired under certain conditions?"
"Maybe, but it's difficult," Miss Sprite said. "Mr. Brando, didn't you also repair the Holy Sword Oderfeiss?"
That being said, Brando actually did not want to hear the answer, because repairing the Holy Sword Oderfeiss was not so much a repair, but a recasting. After he got the approval of the Orb of Flames and the Golden Flame, he recast the precepts of the sword.
But this kind of thing was too illusory, and in The Amber Sword, there was a saying that the divine artifact and the player were compatible. His beliefs and ideals may just be compatible with the Flaming Blade, but it was too outrageous for a person to be compatible with two precepts.
Not to mention the fact that ice and fire were two completely opposite extremes.
"Well," Hao Ren thought for a while and replied, "But the way I repaired the Holy Sword Oderfeiss is a little special. I mean, is there a more 'physical' way?"
His words finally made the others on the ship react.
Almost all the Tyrmosians looked over. Even Tata's eyes lit up slightly. It was the first time her expression had changed. She looked at Brendel with some surprise, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she was pleasantly surprised.
"Mr. Brando … You, you mean?" Her voice was a little unsteady.
"What's wrong?" Brendel was taken aback by her sudden change of attitude.
"What I mean is," Miss Sprite Tata was a little incoherent. She replied while gesturing. "You have another Holy Sword on you, other than the Holy Sword Oderfeiss and the Sword of Earth, Halran Gaia, the components of the Elemental Scepter?"
Tata took a deep breath and looked at him steadily. She added, "Please answer my question seriously, Mr. Brando, because this is very important."
Brando felt the gazes from all around him. He was confused, but he knew how to answer at this time.
He thought for a moment, and then silently pulled out the Frost Chant Cinna from the cave.
After a moment, he heard the sound of gasps around him.
"Cinna —"
"Sword of the Shallow Sea!"

(PS: I've been writing a little late recently. I've watched too much of the TI5 competition. But stepmother and VG are really awesome. I'm so happy. Tomorrow's IG Battle of Life and Death. If nothing goes wrong, Secret should win with a score of 2: 0. I'll commentate the finals with the strength of Acting Emperor.
Also, there's a small bug in the previous chapter. A reader reminded me that the meaning of the name Erouine was mentioned in the previous chapter. But I remember that I made the relevant settings at that time, but I don't remember the specific details. But it's not a big problem. The meaning should be about the same because the plot was buried long ago. I'll go back and make some changes tomorrow.)
