"Why not …" Haku was surprised. She seemed to have never considered this question because countless legends and epics clearly wrote such words.
It was a sword that could change the fate of mortals and the world. As long as one held it, there would be infinite possibilities.
It could even completely kill the Twilight Dragon and end all wars.
The legend of the Azure Knight seemed to have proven this legend from another perspective.
But Brendel quietly opened his mouth and asked a question in return.
"This is a sword that can change fate. In the Azure Epic, its existence symbolizes that everyone can control their own fate, isn't it?"
"Of course, what are you trying to say?"
"But how can the fate of mortals be entrusted to a sword? If such a sword really exists, then can it still symbolize that every mortal can control their own fate? Isn't our fate already controlled by a sword and the person holding it?"
"Don't you think this is a paradox, Miss Tiamas?"
"You …" Haku was speechless for a moment.
"I think Lute is right. It's just a key." Brando then replied: "It can only symbolize what we choose. Our ancestors have walked this path before, they chose it, and now it's our turn –"
The Azure Knight held a long sword and looked at him silently.
Then he gently nodded.
He stretched out the tip of the sword and placed it in front of him –
Then suddenly, all the illusions turned into nothingness, as if countless butterflies were fluttering and dissipating in the surrounding void.
What appeared in Brando's eyes was an altar. It was a black hexagonal altar. It was neither gold nor iron, about the size of two football fields, and it was suspended in space.
Around the altar, stars were shining, and the bright galaxy was like a hanging chain above his head.
"Ah, Mr. Brando!"
Brando heard a surprised voice and saw a familiar little guy appear beside him. It was the little prince of the Fire Fairies, Lute. He was staring not far away, frowning as he let out a low cry:
"Flame Scepter!"
In fact, Brando had already seen the scepter.
It was not a physical object, but a golden red scepter formed by the golden red lines of the law. It was suspended in the position where the Azure Knight had placed the long sword. At this moment, Brando seemed to be within reach.
But Brando did not grab it immediately.
Instead, he asked: "Lute, I forgot to ask a question before."
"What question?" The Fire Fairy turned his head and kept hinting Brando to quickly pick up the scepter with his eyes. When he was teleported in from the outside, the mountain where the storm had stopped had completely collapsed. Although he did not know where he was, the space here was unstable.
From time to time, stars would be extinguished and fall. Large areas of lightless darkness would appear in the galaxy.
Even the edges of the altar beneath their feet were crumbling and breaking apart, turning into tiny fragments that dissipated into the universe.
But what made him a little anxious was that Brando didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
In fact, Haku didn't say anything at this time. She didn't even mention anything about Brando helping her to get something. She seemed to be still immersed in the conversation with Brando and had not recovered from it.
Brando thought for a moment before asking: "What exactly is The Amber Sword?"
"What?" Lute was stunned.
"I passed the Chong Mountain Test in order to gain the recognition of the Scepter of Fire. This test was originally prepared for the candidates, right? And the candidates are actually people who get the recognition of the seven holy swords, right? "
"Of course." The latter nodded: "What are you trying to say, Mr. Brando?"
"And in history, besides me, there was at least one other person who got the recognition of more than two holy swords, right?"
"Yes, that was the Knight of the Azure Sky. Isn't that clear?"
"But the Knight of the Azure Sky in the Majestic Mountain Test was to get the Holy Lance of Heaven. And now that I think about it, the legendary Amber Sword was indeed his sword. So, what does the Azure Sky and the seven holy swords have to do with The Amber Sword?"
"You're thinking about this, Mr. Brando?" Lute was stunned: "I don't know about this, but when you put it that way, it's a little strange. In theory, this test should indeed exist to get the recognition of the seven holy swords, and the person who gets the recognition of the seven holy swords will naturally get The Amber Sword. That's what was written in the prophecy. As for why, I'm not too sure."
"The reason is very simple." Haku's voice finally rang out: "Because the Holy Lance of Heaven is The Amber Sword."
"What!" Brando and Lute blurted out at the same time.
"The main principle of the Holy Lance of Heaven actually comes from the power of wind and thunder. It's a manifestation of the Holy Sword of Wind, but it's not entirely the power of the wind, because it also has the power of the Halran Gaia."
"What does this mean?" Brando became more and more confused as he listened.
"The meaning is very simple. You just have to hold the Scepter of Fire and you'll understand." Haku replied: "Because to be precise, the Firmament is just a part of The Amber Sword. It can show different forms. To be precise, as a sword, it's a conceptual existence."
"Otherwise, how do you think the Firmament could hurt the Twilight Dragon? The only weapon in this world that can hurt the Twilight Dragon is The Amber Sword. "
Brando looked at the Scepter of Fire in front of him and murmured: "In other words, as long as I get the approval of more than two Holy Swords, I can get The Amber Sword — or at least a part of it?"
"Just a part, unless you can get the approval of all seven Holy Swords." Haku narrowed his eyes: "But now I feel that it's not impossible for you. You already have the mark of Gaia in your body, and the Flaming Blade and Orb of Fire are also in your soul. As long as you pick up this scepter, you'll understand."
Brando couldn't help but take a deep breath. The altar was rumbling, and at this time, its edges began to fall off in large pieces.
He finally reached out and gently grabbed the Line of Law that made up the Scepter of Fire.
At that moment —
The Law of Tiamat, which was behind the entire world of Wohnde, suddenly shook.
Hipamira looked up at the Will of the Mountains floating in mid-air. The light emitted from the warhammer was getting brighter and brighter.
Meanwhile, in the streets around her, meteorites were falling from the night sky. Amidst the smoke and dust, countless crystal clusters crawled out of the craters. Although they did not have a unified command, they quickly discovered the young lady who was in the ruins.
These Twilight species immediately screamed and gathered in her direction. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of crystal creatures of different sizes surrounding Hipamira.
But Miss Priestess did not seem to see them at all. She only stared at the Will of the Mountains in mid-air. Her face was full of surprise, as if the threat around her was not worth mentioning at all.
The crystal clusters got closer and closer until they let out a shrill shriek and suddenly pounced towards Hipamila with bared fangs and brandished claws.
But time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The Will of the Mountains suddenly shone brightly. Countless silver lines extended from an unknown space and pierced through the crystal clusters that were still in mid-air.
These silver lines were densely packed, and in an instant, they formed a bright silver pillar-shaped light curtain, as if everything was falling straight down from the sky. In the next moment, all the crystal clusters were cut in half at the waist, turning into countless crystal fragments that fell to the ground with a clatter.
Then, the silver line extended out in all directions. In the blink of an eye, all the streets near the December Square were swept by an invisible force. Wherever it passed, all the Crystal Clusters were met with a calamity.
In just a few breaths, half of Rushta City fell silent.
But the place where Hipamira and the Will of the Mountains were originally at was now empty.
At that moment, Brando just happened to hold the Scepter of Fire in his hand.
A strange, indescribable feeling responded from his heart. He looked up instinctively and saw a few rays of light rising from the space in front of him.
First was a ray of azure light. It crossed the endless void and arrived in front of Brando in the blink of an eye. But it did not stop and immediately merged into his body.
"The Sacred Sword of Wind!" Bai could not help but cry out.
But Brando closed his eyes.
Because he felt a deep sense of longing from this ray of light. He understood where it came from the moment this ray of light merged into his body.
Then he heard Ovina's voice.
"Congratulations on passing the trial of the Chong Mountain. My master and I are waiting for you to create a miracle. The era of the Azure Lance has passed. What will the future hold? Perhaps you will need to open that door —"
"Scarlet." Brando could not help but mumble to himself.
"The third sword!" Lute almost jumped up. "This is the reaction of the Holy Relic. Mr. Brando, what have you done? The Knight of the Azure Lance has acknowledged you!"
But Bai kept his mouth shut.
Of course he knew what Brando had done —
Then the second ray of light came in front of Brando. It was a ray of grey light. Lute and Bai did not have time to identify what it was, but Brando had already recognized it.
"My Lord," Hipamira's voice rang in his mind. "Thank you for allowing the Goddess' Sanctum to reappear in the world. This is the Goddess' wish —"
The ray of light also merged into Brando's body in an instant.
"The Orb of the Earth!"
Only then did Bai cry out.
She looked at Brando as if she was looking at a monster.
