The two of them walked in the dark tunnel, with only the dim light from the illuminating crystals illuminating the path ahead. The collapse did not only happen in the area where they fought. Brando saw signs of the collapse everywhere. Piles of earth and rocks blocked most of the tunnel.
Some places were completely blocked off. Even though he could break through the rocks in these places, he still chose to take a detour in order to not cause a second collapse.
Scarlett leaned on Brando's body, clearly feeling the young lord's strong heartbeat. She felt her own heart pounding as well. The red-haired girl's face was a little hot. She felt that she should say something to break the awkward silence, but she did not know where to start.
She thought for a while and decided to change the topic: "Where are the others?"
Brando shook his head. He remembered that he, Scarlett, Kodan, and Metisha were separated. Jutta was even further away, and he did not know where she was now.
He searched for Metisha's card in his mind. The silver card did not turn grey, which meant that the Silver Elf princess was not in any danger.
"I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like a big problem." He recalled that when the collapse happened, Metisha and Kodan were sealed together. Since she was not in danger, it was very likely that Kodan was in trouble.
Brando knew that Metisha alone was no match for Kodan.
"Hmm," Scarlet replied.
"Is your wound okay?" Brando asked. He was worried that the red-haired girl was suddenly so talkative. He was worried that the Blood of God would act up prematurely.
"No," Scarlett quickly changed the topic: "But it's a little strange."
"What's wrong?"
"We had just started fighting. Now that I think about it, it didn't seem like it would cause such a large earthquake —"
Brando fell silent. In fact, he had been wondering about this ever since he woke up. Although it was dangerous for four Gold-tier fighters to fight in the mine, they had only fought a few times. Other than his first White Raven Sword Style, he had not used any other powerful skills.
Even if he was a Gold-tier swordsman, he would be no different from an ordinary person. It was not as if such a person would cause an earthquake when he walked into the mines.
It was just that he didn't have time to think too much about it back then. Now that he looked back, he found many suspicious points.
He wondered if he was unlucky enough to encounter an earthquake. If that was the case, then Lady Martha's joke was a bit too much. However, regardless of whether it was an earthquake or not, this doubt could only remain at the level of speculation for now. They could only come to a conclusion after they reached the ground and learned how big the impact of the collapse was.
But now, Brando had no choice but to weave through the dark, crisscrossing underground tunnels like a mole.
As time passed, he began to suspect that the area he was in had been sealed off. However, when he came to a dead end for the third time, Brando finally confirmed it.
However, after such a long search, it was not all for naught. At least he found out that the elevator he used to go up to this floor could still be used. The only bad news was that the elevator could only go up to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor of the mine was connected to the third floor, but the fifth floor was connected to the beehive. It was a complicated cave system, and from there, one could enter the fourth floor. Perhaps, one could enter the third floor from another area.
Brando had asked Jocah before he entered the mine. There were a total of five elevators from the third to the fourth floor. Although the area he was in was sealed off by the falling rocks, the other areas on the third floor might not be the same.
He made a decision in a short time and brought Scarlet to the fourth floor to try his luck.
The elevator hit the rock and stopped with a heavy thud. Brando was no stranger to this floor of the mine. In fact, he came up from here before. The fourth floor was also dark, but under the light of the illuminating crystal, Brando immediately noticed that the fourth floor had also collapsed.
He looked up at the loose rock at the top of the tunnel and the dirt on the ground. However, the rock here was more solid, so the tunnel suffered less damage than the previous one.
Brando was more and more confused. He was more and more certain that the earthquake he encountered before was a coincidence.
But how could there be such a coincidence?
If this was really an earthquake, then it should have happened in The Amber Sword in the past. In the game, Tónigel was considered a low-level area in the transition to a mid-level area. Based on the game's timeline, some players should have just arrived here.
He couldn't help but recall the posts related to the earthquake. These posts should be more common in Erouine, but they were relatively rare in Erouine. Something like this should have left an impression in his memory.
But when he thought about it, he couldn't remember seeing any posts related to it on the forum. But he suddenly remembered something. There was indeed something related to Tónigel on the forum during this period.
It was a strange post.
Brando remembered that the post was a post asking for an appraisal. The appraisal was Cold Iron Ore and two other unknown items. When the words Cold Iron Ore flashed through Brando's mind, it immediately alerted him.
He immediately recalled the title of the post. He remembered that the title of the post was: 'A large number of Cold Iron Ore for sale, and also asking to appraise two items that have never been seen before.' To be honest, there were at least 800, if not 1000, posts like this on the forum during that era. After all, players had only been in the game for a few months, and there were too many new things that the players had not seen before. It was difficult for Brando to remember such a post.
But in that era when players did not have any high-level materials, the sudden appearance of a large number of Cold Iron Ore made this post popular. At that time, some people even doubted the authenticity of this post, but it also made Brando remember this post.
But his memory of this post was quite vague. He had already forgotten most of the main post's content. He could only vaguely remember that the poster seemed to have received a mission, and then found two strange items in a Cold Iron Ore vein when he was mining.
As for why he accepted the mission to mine, Brando could not remember. But he remembered the strange items clearly. The first item was the Diagonal Quartz. That was the first time the Magic Eye Stone appeared on the forum as a material.
And the second item, from the picture, he remembered that it was a silver ball. In the end, the discussion of this item did not reach a conclusion. But it did not disappear from the public's sight. In fact, later on, there were people who found and learned about the origin of this silver ball from other places.
Silver Legacy.
In the Pale Poem of the Cruz people, there was an era before the Age of Chaos, before Martha created the world. It was called the Age of Dusk.
Legend has it that in that ancient era, there were Gold and Silver people living in the Age of Chaos, and there were even legendary 'Divine People.'
There was a saying that Martha was one of the Divine People, but there was another saying that Martha was created by the Divine People. But what kind of existence the Divine People were was long unknown. In fact, except for ancient myths like the Pale Poem, they had never appeared in the world of The Amber Sword. Even the widely spread bards on the continent, and most of the half-true rumors were not mentioned in the slightest.
So, similar to how Martha was referred to as a reference to the rules, the Divine People were referred to as a reference to reality. Players usually thought that the Divine People referred to the game designer. So, in contrast to Martha's half-reality and half-virtual existence, the Divine People should be completely realistic and synonymous with 'non-existent' in the game.
But one thing was very clear. Historical records did say that the Divine People led the first Gold and Silver generation to create the first Sage's Sanctuary. Then, Martha used these 'points' to create the world of Wohnde with the support of the Elemental Code.
The formation of the world took a long time. The first Gold and Silver people relied on the Sanctuary to resist the attack of the Twilight Dragon. Until the last Sanctuary recorded in history, the Babel of Babel, was destroyed.
Then came the era when the Gold and Silver bloodlines were scattered across the land, which was the beginning of the Age of Chaos.
History before and after that had been buried in the dust. The Gold and Silver bloodlines had also wandered the land for countless years and almost disappeared. But the ruins of the Sanctuary were not completely destroyed.
Just like the Fairyland of the King of Knights that Brando led the refugees of Fortress Riedon into when they fled, the ruins of the Sanctuary were widespread in this world.
Some were half-physical, such as hidden in the crevices of space and time, such as the Fairyland.
Some were completely imaginary, such as the legendary Babel of Babel, the unbreakable last fortress that existed at the top of the world.
But there were also some that were the most physical, and most of these were the Silver Folk's Sanctuaries. These Sanctuaries were the most thoroughly destroyed in the war. For example, the Steel Plains sunk into the ground, and the Runic Dwarves were almost wiped out.
And some were left as ruins, becoming sacred places today. The most famous one that Brando knew was the Gate to Heaven in the Kingdom of Knights.
But there were also some that were unknown, such as the Dusty Kingdom and Valhalla.
But in any case, some of these shelters were not empty. Just like archeology, people who entered could often find something inside. This was the legacy of the Gold People and the Silver People.
In fact, the Golden Apple in Brando's hand was a kind of Gold Legacy.
In terms of quality, although the legacy of the Silver Folk was a little inferior, the effect would not be that bad.
Thinking of this, Brando could already guess that the previous earthquake was completely likely caused by the magical resonance caused by the unearthing of the high-grade holy object. The Magic Eye Gem, the Cold Iron Ore, he had almost confirmed where this mission was.
Just relying on the legacy of the Silver Folk alone did not seem to be enough to cause such a big commotion.
Brando was a little puzzled.
