After entering the underground from the broken corner of the ruins, what appeared before his eyes was a huge underground world. Long and thin corridors connected one after another to warehouses, hideouts, and war preparation fortresses. This was obviously the defense line of the underground city on the surface. He had seen such a defense line in the Kirrlutz's Laonte Mountain Fortress and the Elves' underground ruins, but it was far from being as perfect as this one.
The walls of the corridors were made of the toughest rocks, and the crystalline patterns on them extended all the way to the deepest part of the underground. This style of architecture was incompatible with Wohnde's aesthetic standards, as if it was the legacy of a prehistoric civilization that had been dormant for eons. It gave Brando a sense of familiarity.
If the surrounding rocks were replaced with metal, Brando would have thought that he was walking in a huge underground research center. Weren't the crystalline networks used to transmit energy? The futuristic style combined with the thick historical aura of the eroded rocks gave off a sense of sacredness. He could not help but sigh. The designer of The Amber Sword's setting was indeed a world-class master.
Brando appreciated everything from the perspective of a player. It was a completely different feeling from the others. Scarlett and Sifrid, who were following closely behind him, were stunned speechless. It was as if they were holding their breaths. They were deeply shocked by the ancient civilization. Mephisto, the Ash Sword Saint, was in a slightly better state. However, as he observed his surroundings, his gray eyes flashed with surprise from time to time.
Brando's carefree attitude surprised Orthlyss. It was the first time she had seen such a well-preserved Silver Civilization's ruins. It was as if the people were gone, and the ruins still had the aura of the previous era. Brando, on the other hand, seemed to be used to it. She noticed that his gaze was filled with appreciation and familiarity. It was an expression that transcended others.
In fact, that was indeed the case. There was a soul in his body that transcended this world. Coming to the ruins of the ancient civilization, other people would feel sacred, solemn, and shocked, but Brando felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if he had returned home.
It was as if a few players were greeting him with a smile. "Hey buddy, wanna join us for an adventure?"
Brando's lips curved into a smile. Yes, I can't go back to Earth anymore. But the world of Vaunte, which was interwoven in his dreams, always reminded him of what had happened.
"Kid, tell me seriously. Are you one of Erouine's people?" Orthlyss suddenly asked.
"Eh?" Brando snapped out of his daze. [Why did she ask that?] Could it be that Orthlyss had discovered his true identity? It seemed impossible at first, but Brendel could not help but feel a little guilty. "Why do you ask?"
"Look at the difference between you and them," Orthlyss pointed at Scarlett and Sifrid, who were completely dumbfounded: "How can a normal person be like you? Even if scholars have read similar descriptions in books, shouldn't they be in awe when they see the real thing? But Brando, you're just admiring them. It's as if you're a master leading a guest around his luxurious villa. Tell me honestly, are you a descendant of the Silver Clan? "
Orthlyss's eyes flashed with suspicion. It was obvious that she had been suspecting him for a long time. But Brando did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not think that Orthlyss would think of something like this. [What the hell is going on?] But he immediately shook his head: "Of course not. I'm a descendant of Erouine. My ancestors were even nobles."
"Does Erouine's nobility mean anything to me? What a joke! " The Wind Empress glared at him. Although Brando's words had dispelled her doubts, she had not completely given up: "But even if you're a descendant of the Silver Clan, it doesn't matter. The more powerful the successor, the more gratified I will be."
Of course, he wouldn't say that he didn't want to become a Silver Person because he didn't want to be too different from Freya and Roman. He looked back at Scarlet again, and the others around him did the same.
They passed through layers of defense and gradually went deeper into the underground. Deep in the rock formation, the sound had become extremely slow. The temperature had risen a little, but the surroundings were quiet. After a while, Brando heard the sound of water dripping in the distance. He estimated that there were at least three lines of defense near the surface. It was built like a maze, and thanks to his experience, he was able to pass through it without wasting time.
After passing through the stronghold system on the surface, they should be in the living area of the underground city. The underground city was similar to the city on the surface. There were residential areas, commercial areas, meeting places, temples, palaces, and a huge drainage system. He had seen such cities in the hometown of the Mountain Dwarves. He also knew that the monsters in the underground drainage system would occasionally come to the upper areas and become the mission targets of the players.
However, the underground city had water for a long time. Other than the drainage system, underground rivers, underground streams, and seepage ponds, there was only the auditorium. The so-called auditorium was equivalent to the square on the surface. In the middle of the square, there were usually seepage ponds and springs. The auditorium connected the residential area and the commercial area, providing water for a considerable area nearby. Therefore, when they heard the sound of water dripping here, it meant that they were not far from the central area of the underground city.
After walking in the dark for about a minute with the glowing gem in his hand, the light in Brando's hand suddenly scattered in all directions. The low rock walls around them suddenly disappeared, and they walked into a wide underground space. The light in front of them scattered on the ground, revealing a huge square paved with uneven stone slabs. In the middle of the square was a spring, and the spring water was still flowing slowly even after thousands of years. However, the rock platform around the spring had been eroded and riddled with holes. The water overflowed the top of the platform and overflowed into the square, forming a large area that was sunken and submerged.
"It's a square! It's just as you said, Brother Brando! "Sifrid exclaimed.
Scarlett also looked at Brando with admiration. In her eyes, even though he was young, he was a very knowledgeable scholar. Compared to the other nobles who only knew how to be jealous and indulge in sensual pleasures at this age, Brendel was already able to converse with the likes of the Ash Sword Saint and Veronica on an equal footing. He was even able to guide them in terms of knowledge.
"Yes." Brando nodded. He was also a little excited. If they found the auditorium, it meant that they were not far from their goal. Especially since the auditorium was so large, it must be connected to a palace or a temple. He looked up and looked at the dense holes in the walls, hoping to find the symbol he was familiar with.
He first found the holy emblem of the Holy Cathedral. Wohnde's belief in the past had not changed, and Lady Martha had always been protecting the intelligent beings of the land. Although the appearance of the holy emblem had more or less changed due to different aesthetic standards, the holy woman in the middle of the emblem was easily recognizable.
Soon, the group of people walked around the square once. At this time, Brando's eyes suddenly lit up. "It's here!" He found that the tunnel leading to the palace was on the opposite side of the central axis of the square. The palace was the core of the dungeon and also the center of defense. If the Fire Seed could exist in this dungeon, the ancient Silver Folk would definitely place it in the center of the city.
The goal of this dangerous trip was right in front of him. Even with Brando's experience, he could not help but feel a little anxious. Veronica and Mephisto only thought that this was a new place to guard, but Brando knew the true meaning of the Flame Seed's existence. Therefore, he could give up one-third of the land to the Ash Sword Saint without hesitation, but it was absolutely impossible for him to give up the biggest secret here.
That was his biggest hope of saving Erouine.
He took a deep breath, and couldn't help but walk up in quick steps. But at this time, Greysword Saint-mephistopheles suddenly grabbed him. A black shadow rushed toward them. Mephisto pulled out the greatsword on his back and slashed at the shadow. With a loud clang, Brendel saw that the black shadow that was sent flying was actually a giant scythe that came slashing down from the ceiling. The scythe was shining with a strange light, and it must have been imbued with a powerful spell. If it hit, even an Elemental Ranker would not be able to withstand it. He could not help but break out in a cold sweat. He was so excited that he forgot the most basic thing, a trap.
Of course, with his reaction speed, this thing would not hit him. But Mephisto's actions had won him over. This meant that the Ash Sword Saint was indeed planning to be on the same boat as him. He calmed down and nodded to Mephisto.
"Be careful," the Ash Sword Saint said calmly.
"Okay."
After avoiding the first trap, the path behind was indeed full of thorns. But then, it was Brando's own show. He was neither a Nightingale nor a rogue, so he did not have the special ability to detect traps. But even if he had not eaten meat, he had seen pigs run. Brando's experience as a Level 130 Warrior was rich. What kind of underground city had he not explored? What kind of trap had he not seen before?
He had even been to the ruins of the Gold Folk, let alone the ruins of a level 60 Silver Civilization. In comparison, Valhalla was just a little more well-preserved, but those traps were nothing new to him. With a casual glance, he could see how a trap worked. He led the group of people through the underground tunnel as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the park.
Mephisto was not familiar with Brando, so he naturally thought that he was an expert in mechanical engineering. But to Scarlett and Sifrid, it was a completely different story. In their eyes, Brendel's halo had increased by another ring. Orthlyss could not understand how a young man like him could be so proficient in everything. It also did not make sense based on the amount of time he had spent studying.
The underground palaces of the Silver Ancestors were distributed horizontally and vertically. They were not complicated or extravagant. The main structure was still made of stone, and the smooth surface of the floor was covered in a network of crystals that extended into the darkness. The only difference was that the interior of the palace was much larger and wider than the outside. There were even rectangular pillars in the middle of the palace that required a dozen people to wrap their arms around.
Energy transmission networks spread out between the pillars like a spider's web, and there were signs that they were getting denser. Suddenly, Brando's eyes followed the light from the gemstone in his hand. His vision went past about thirty pillars that formed a circle, and a huge 'lighthouse' appeared in the middle.
Brando had thought that it was a 'lighthouse' when he first saw it.
In the dark space, a huge pyramid stood quietly. However, at the top of the pyramid, there was a rather huge shuttle-shaped crystal floating. It was at least twenty meters tall, and the widest part was almost the same as the height. The crystal flashed like ripples, and soft light came out of these ripples. Although it was extremely weak, it could still illuminate the area around the pyramid.
"This … …" Everyone was speechless when they saw this scene.
