He had seen the same necklace on Amandina's body, but there was no pendant on the necklace. Amandina said that it was a relic left behind by her father. During the Battle of Ampere Seale, Amandina unexpectedly came back from the dead. He had thought that he was hallucinating, but now that he thought about it … Everything was clear now.
Brando was speechless for a moment.
"… … Count Brendel, the lady beside you … …"
Tirste's words from the night in Amandina's old house still rang in his ears. He remembered that when he first met Amandina, the bandits that he and Batom took care of claimed that Amandina's father owed them money.
Amandina denied it at that time. Brando knew her better than anyone. Amandina would never lie, so there was something fishy behind this matter.
[Now that I think about it, Tirste is a member of All For One. If Amandina is a descendant of Seifer's Royal Family and has Seifer's Heart on her, and she might be related to the Fragment of the Eternal Relic, then the reason why All For One is looking for trouble with a poor noble's daughter is obvious.]
"But Amandina obviously knows about the power of Seifer's Heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lied to me after the Battle of Ampere Seale. How much does she know about her bloodline? Why didn't she tell us about it … …" He thought that he knew Amandina well, but now he wasn't sure.
"Why are you spacing out?" Haku was getting impatient when Brando was spacing out. She realized that she wasn't afraid of Brando's threats. Instead, she was worried that he wouldn't say anything because she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Brando stopped. He had already climbed to the top of the ice cliff. There was a narrow crack above his head, and he could see the gloomy sky from above. The ground was almost within reach.
He took a deep breath and continued forward while holding onto the cold wall. He answered Haku's question: "Do you know what kind of place Osopal is, Lady Tiamas?"
"How would I know? I've been to the Wilderness of Four Territories and was almost discovered by the spies of All For One. But that place used to be called Osopal is now just a small hill. There's nothing there."
"Then I have a suggestion." Brando said: "You want the Relic of Eternity, but I'm interested in this place. If you can gather all the fragments, I'll go with you."
"Don't!" Haku replied very vigilantly: "You're pushing your luck. I want the Relic of Eternity, and I won't allow any unstable factors."
"I said, the Relic of Eternity doesn't belong to anyone for the time being. Don't treat it as something that belongs to you. If I don't agree, you'll never get it." Brando didn't care about Haku's rejection and replied coldly: "But if you agree, you can at least bet that I'm really not interested in the Relic of Eternity. Aren't you doing that now? You're not even afraid that your life is in my hands, so why would you be afraid that I'll break my promise?"
Haku was silent. She actually understood that Brando's words made sense, but it was a difficult choice for her. She was a person with a strong desire for control. She could easily give up her own life, just like how she didn't care about the lives of others. But she had a strong sense of purpose, and she would not allow the plan to develop in a direction that she couldn't control.
Brando pretended to be indifferent, although he was very curious about the gift that Tuman left for him. Besides, there might be more important secrets behind this treasure, whether it was the origin of Amandina or the abnormality caused by the gray stone pieces in Fathom Harbor.
He still couldn't forget the scene at that time. It was clearly the will of the Twilight Dragon that descended from outside the elemental barrier. How could a fragment that could alarm an existence of this level be taken lightly?
However, he didn't show this attitude. He only walked along the small radial path between the glaciers. Soon, bright light filled his vision, causing him to almost squint his eyes. His vision was filled with white glaciers and snowy plains. This was almost a nightmare to him before, but after experiencing the darkness of the underground, he felt somewhat familiar with it now.
At this time, Haku finally spoke, "Then you have to do your part …"
"How do I do my part?" Brando asked as he looked around.
"In addition to the Dragon Queen, I, and one fragment in your hand, there should be four more fragments. Among the remaining four fragments, we will each take two and investigate separately. You have to use your power. You are a noble of Erouine, a close vassal of the Regent Princess, and also helped Cruz's eldest son to seize the throne. You already have a lot of power in the mortal world. I believe you can give me a satisfactory answer. "
Brendel did not comment on Haku's condition. He thought for a while and changed the question. "I have one last question. Is this the Shard you're talking about?"
As he spoke, he took out the gray stone piece from the floating celestial sphere. It was about the size of a palm. It was a gray, flat stone piece that looked like a chisel. There were no traces of artificial carvings on its surface, as if it was naturally peeled off from a huge rock.
But at this moment, this stone piece was covered with all kinds of runes and secret runes, as if it was wrapped in all kinds of seals. It lay quietly on Brando's hand, and no aura could be felt from it.
"Clumsy seal," Haku said disdainfully, "This is the fragment you found from the Knight?" She wanted to say a few more words because the stone should have belonged to her. She had spent a lot of effort to find it and secretly took it from the hands of its original owner, but she did not expect it to fall into Brendel's hands because of her negligence.
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stunned, and all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her stomach.
Because she saw Brando take out another similar fragment.
"Do you think this is the same?" Brando asked, "Or is it a counterfeit?"
In fact, he already knew the answer in his heart. These fragments were most likely real. Otherwise, they would not have been able to trigger the mutation at Fattan Port. But for safety reasons, he still wanted to confirm it.
"How did you get this thing?" Haku was so surprised that she almost cried out, "Where did you get it? I understand now. That little girl, I should have known that she was the descendant of that bitch. Villefort, that bastard, really hid something from me! "
Brando heard the indignation and anger in her voice and could not help but shake his head. He thought to himself, "You killed them all. Who is the one who should blame whom?"
And Villefort might not have been hiding something, because he suspected that Amandina's father was involved in this series of events because he was investigating what happened to his grandfather. He just did not know how his grandfather, who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, was connected to this place called Osopio.
Amandina once said that her father had been collecting stone pieces when he was alive. At that time, he also left some of these stone pieces among the relics he left for Amandina. They were very different from the fragments mentioned by Haku, but they were similar in some ways. At least in terms of appearance, they were very similar.
Unfortunately, when he checked the stone pieces at that time, he found that they were just some very ordinary sandstone pieces, so he gave them to Amandina for safekeeping. He did not have them with him at the moment, otherwise he could have taken them to Haku to check. Maybe there would be some clues.
Borg Nesson obviously knew some of the secrets of his family. He had been searching for relevant information for a long time. Although his goal was not to obtain the Relic of Eternity, but to find another secret, it was a pity that when he finally found the fragment of the real Relic of Eternity, he had reached the end of his life.
[If I didn't have the memories and experience from my previous life, I'm afraid the secrets of my body would have been lost in the long river of history.]
He was still thinking about this problem when he heard Haku continue to ask nervously, "How many fragments do you have? Are you lying to me? You knew this secret long ago? "
"No, no," Brando shook his head and said, "You can rest assured that I did not know this secret until now. But how many fragments I have has nothing to do with you. You just have to fulfill your obligations, and our cooperation is still valid. "
"I want the Relic of Eternity." Haku replied, gnashing his teeth.
"That's yours. I can give you this promise."
Only then did Haku shut his mouth.
Brando ignored him. He looked up and tried to find a path in the snowfield, but it was at this time that both of them saw an invisible ripple spreading in the gloomy sky.
Then, a rumbling sound came from the horizon. It was as if thunder was rolling from the distant horizon.
"What is that?" Brando asked.
"That's a sign that the space somewhere is becoming unstable." Haku's voice was slightly uneasy. "The avalanche earlier should be caused by it. There might be some changes in the Wind Elemental Plane outside. I suggest you speed up because I don't know if this change is good or bad …"
Brando did not reply, but he felt that it might not be that simple. He had a faint premonition that the change might not be in the Wind Elemental Plane, but in the entire Elemental Barrier.

(PS: Yesterday when I was writing the title of the chapter, I subconsciously wrote 70 after 60. Hahaha, that's not a big deal, and there's nothing wrong with my mathematics. Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's all Dian Niang's fault because Dian Niang did not let me change the title of the chapter. Yes, that must be it …
