"There seems to be something underneath the magic circle." Orthlyss whispered to Brando after a careful observation. She could vaguely feel a corrosive magic seeping up from the ground. Wind Elves were naturally sensitive to magic. Otherwise, they would not have been able to create magical sword skills. Brando nodded. Orthlyss led the way. After leaving the Cave of Crystals, they continued to go deeper.
After walking for a while, the walls of the underground chamber suddenly showed a strange dark red color. Upon closer inspection, the dark red color was actually caused by a kind of sandstone. The sandstone seemed to be embedded with quartz, and it sparkled under the light. Brando touched it with his hand. When he raised his hand, he was shocked to find that his hand was covered with crystal powder.
"What's going on?" He could not help but stop and ask.
"The rocks here have always been like this. It has been like this since the underground chamber was built." Orthlyss picked up the broken stones on the ground and looked at them. "But recently, the crystallization of the rocks has become more and more serious. The red sandstone did not extend to this position before."
Brando instinctively felt that something was wrong. "Do you know this kind of rock?" He bent down to pick up a broken stone and whispered to Orthlyss. Orthlyss looked at the stone in his hand and thought for a while before replying: "The characteristics of this rock are a bit like the Magic Quartz Sand from the Black Forest. Have you heard of it?"
Magic Quartz Sand was a kind of sandstone magic crystal ore that was formed when a region was contaminated by magic. It was often found near the streams in the Black Forest. It looked a bit like colorful sand. Most of these crystals were not pure. Travelers who came across them could make a small fortune, but it was not worth it to organize a team to mine them.
Brando of course had heard of this mineral. He picked up the stone and said: "We will know whether it is or not after experimenting with it." Detecting the distribution of magic elements was a basic task for any spellcaster. Brando was also an Elementalist, so it was not difficult for him to do this. He held the stone with his left hand and stretched out his right thumb, index finger, and middle finger. He aligned the Magic Triangle and chanted a mysterious rune. The stone immediately emitted a faint light.
"It is."
"It is." Orthlyss nodded. However, this level of Magic Quartz Sand was not even at the level of a normal mineral. The magic it contained was mottled and impure, and there was no value in mining it. Simply put, it was unnecessary to even bring a piece back home.
"That means this place is heavily contaminated by magic." Brando raised his head and looked around vigilantly.
"But this place is under the protection of Lady Martha, Brando."
"That's why it's suspicious." Brendel threw the stone away and raised his head, just in time to see Elaine stop. ......... to go in.... to go in..........................................
Brendel took two steps forward, wanting to see what was inside. But just as he lifted his foot, a golden ripple suddenly appeared ten feet in front of him. Then, a golden translucent magic circle appeared, spinning slowly like the hands of a clock. Brando originally wanted to go in and take a look, but when he saw the magic circle, he suddenly changed his mind.
"Let's go back."
"Eh?"
Orthlyss and the deer demoness were surprised. They thought Brando would definitely go in to take a look. Orthlyss was slightly startled. She seemed to have thought of something and quickly explained, "This magic circle is a seal set by Master, but it does not prevent me from bringing you in."
But Brando shook his head as if he had made up his mind, "No need. Since there is nothing to see, there is no need to trouble yourself. The fewer times a seal is opened, the better. "
"That's true." Orthlyss nodded, but she looked at Brando with some doubt. She had followed Kelsie for hundreds of years, and her knowledge was not inferior to Brando's. Of course, she would not believe Brando's excuse. But since Brando did not want to, she did not force him.
Orthlyss also had the same question, but she was much more direct. "Brendel, what's wrong?" She whispered to Brendel, "Brendel, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I instinctively feel that there is danger." Brando shook his head. Orthlyss understood. She knew that Brando trusted his own judgment. Although most young people his age did not have such experience and judgment, Orthlyss knew that Brando was an exception. His judgment was always relatively accurate, and was not inferior to a thousand-year-old monster like her.
On the other hand, the reason Brando did not want to go in was very simple. That was because the magic circle was the same as the seal outside. In The Amber Sword, the only function of the magic circle was to mark the level of a dungeon. The magic circle outside was called the Wall of Chaos, which was the seal of level 30 to 40 dungeons. The magic circle inside was called the Age of Time, which was the entrance to level 300 dungeons. So when Brando saw the seal, he decisively gave up on the idea. He thought that he had not lived long enough.
(Note: Brendel's level of 130 is a pure warrior's level. In reality, players usually have more than one job. Therefore, a level 40 dungeon is prepared for a level 30 group of players, and a level 300 dungeon is for a level 150 group of the world's top players.)
Even though he really wanted to know what was buried underground, his life was more important. He decided to take a break when he saw the Magic Formation. When he had time in the future, he would return to this place.
"Then are you ready to go back?" Ina suddenly asked. "But I can't directly send you back to the surface. You may have to wait for your companions to dig a path."
"It's okay." Brando did not mind. He smiled. "I have some questions about Planeswalkers that I want to ask you."
"Then let's go back to the hall." Ina nodded and looked into the depths of the cave. "Actually, I don't really like it here."
"Me too."
Brendel took a deep look at the Level 300 Magic Formation and nodded.
… …
Time passed much longer underground than on the surface. It was as if the little Roman had unknowingly obtained a huge secret. The Shire was very busy, and it was not easy to wait for the great Silver Elf Princess and the Vampire Trap. It took them three to four hours to finally open a path, and then almost the same amount of time to dig into the tomb.
At this time, Brando had already gotten most of the answers he wanted to know from Ina.
"Last question." The information he got from Ina was completely different from Tuman's. It should be said that it was more detailed, plain, and rich in details. Brando only now understood that Planeswalkers were not separated from Wohnde's history. They had always existed, and once fought with the ancestors against the Twilight Dragon, and even played the role of a leader.
Brando even learned that the Darkness Dragon Odin was once a Planeswalker. This information was beyond his expectations, but it seemed to be within his expectations. With the Darkness Dragon's strength, it was possible for him to become a Planeswalker. Moreover, the Darkness Dragon often led his dark army into battle. It was hard to say if there were no summons among them. It was just that history was too long ago, and it was impossible to verify.
The only thing that puzzled Brando was that when Odin spoke to him in the Sealing Stone fragment, he did not mention a single word about Planeswalkers. He did not know if it was because the inheritance was not complete.
However, with so many Planeswalkers, it made him wonder how many Planeswalkers there were in this world. He could not help but ask this question, "Lady Ina, you once said that I was the last one. Then can you tell me, how many Planeswalkers are there in the world today? "
The deer demoness seemed to have expected him to ask such a question. She sighed and said, "In the earliest era of the Planeswalkers' history, that is, the Earth Slate was still in Ebabel Fortress. It had not been stolen by the traitor of the gods, Hodel, and was lost. The Planeswalkers formed a council, and this council had a total of 43 members."
"Later on, when the Twilight Dragon came, most of the Planeswalkers withered away in the war where the Gods fell. Until the darkness of the ancient epic prophecy descended upon the earth, only thirteen Planeswalkers' inheritances remained. My master, Kelsie, was one of them. As far as I know, most of these thirteen inheritances did not end well. Three thousand years ago, there were only six left. And among these six, there were almost no true inheritors. Therefore, if I am not wrong, among this generation of Planeswalkers, you may be the only inheritor. "
"You're saying that I am the only Planeswalker left?" Brando was speechless. He could not believe that such a powerful Planeswalker would wither away to this extent.
"Not necessarily. It is possible that there are a few old farts that still exist. However, the number of inheritors of Planeswalkers is decreasing. This is an undeniable fact." Ina shook her head, "I don't know why, but the requirements to become a Planeswalker are extremely harsh. Most people can't even come into contact with the laws of cards. Among them, there are a few who can cross this boundary, but most of them stay at the apprentice level their whole lives. "
Stay at the apprentice level? Brando frowned. He himself had not broken through the apprentice level yet. But just as he was about to speak, he saw Ina raise her index finger to her lips and say, "Shh!"
Brando turned around. He and Ina had been staying in the tunnel not far from the tomb above. Now that they had quietened down, they heard the sound of shovels digging from above. "Your companions are here," Ina said softly, "Alright, let's stop here. I don't want others to see us."
Brando was slightly startled.
Only then did he realize what Ina meant, "Aren't you coming with me? Lady Ina? "He could not help but look at her in surprise.
But Ina only smiled at him. She took two steps back and stood in the darkness. Those eyes that seemed to be able to speak flickered with an indescribable brilliance. Brando had seen the determination to never give up in those eyes, but now there was only gentleness and hope. At that moment, Brando understood that she was really going to leave him.

(PS: I drew some pictures in the afternoon to change my mind, so the update is a bit late. I drew some pictures of Amber's characters, mainly because the starting point is not very convenient. If I have time, I will put it in the public chapter.
Also, there has been a lot of discussion recently about the Planeswalker plot. Some people may think that this has nothing to do with the main story, but that is not the case. This plot is one of Amber's main stories, so I had to write this part. However, the plot doesn't progress as fast as everyone thinks. It will still be gradual.) (To be continued.
