Although he kept saying that time was tight, Brando's team ended up wasting another day on the banks of the Nugan River. Fortunately, the huntress Peya's physical fitness was excellent, and the fever quickly subsided, and the recovery of her wounds was amazingly fast.
Brando didn't know if this was a hunter's special talent, but on the morning of the third day, the team had to set off at his request anyway. He summoned a black wolf as a mount for the huntress who had just recovered from a serious illness. As for the others, they had to get off the ground and walk. The carriages and horses were left in the temporary camp on the banks of the Nugan River, because the rest of the journey was no longer suitable for these things to join.
After a day in the forest, the coniferous forest quickly became dense, and the layers of snow on the branches sometimes even blocked the sun, making the ground in the forest gloomy and cold. The team creaked forward on the snow and broken dead branches, and soon some steeple-shaped white rocks appeared between the woodlands, and then a light blue curtain of light was reflected in everyone's vision. It was like a thin wall of light. This translucent wall of light towered into the clouds, enveloping the entire forest, and connected with a white stone steeple not far away.
Everyone couldn't help but stop and watch this spectacle. But only Brando knew that this light blue curtain of light was the entrance to this prequel dungeon – Milos's Final Breath. In the game, this light curtain was called the "Binding of Mana," and was a symbol of the level 80 dungeon (character level).
Behind this curtain was the famous giant dungeon group.
Speaking of which, apart from the time with the Golden Demonic Tree, this was the first time Brando had seriously challenged this dungeon in the world of Wohnde. In The Amber Sword, the way dungeons operated was actually very different from most games of the same period, and the players used such a name, but it was just a common habit.
In The Amber Sword, rather than being called a dungeon, it would be better to call it a scene area. Because only this word could accurately define it.
There were several ways in which the dungeons Brando was familiar with operated. The first was a one-time quest dungeon, and only the players who challenged it first had the chance to get the quest. For example, the Forbidden Orchard of the Golden Demonic Tree was such a model. Although the latecomers could repeatedly kill the boss through the fragments of time, they were destined to have no fate with the plot.
The second was a typical scene area with the giant dungeon group they were facing now. The operation of such a giant dungeon group was very classic, and it could be said to have created a precedent in the gaming world at the time. Although there were still only one or a few fixed main quests in other prequel areas, it was not the "monsters – boss in the path – monster – boss" single progression mode that the average player was familiar.
On the contrary, dungeons like Milos's Final Breath were actually divided into two areas. Each area was made up of points and faces. Points were the monsters' nests in the area, while Faces were the special areas in the dungeon. In the dungeon group's dungeon group, and the dungeon group's dungeon, the dungeon group's was that the dungeon group dungeon group's dungeon was the dungeon group 'dungeon group's dungeon.
In this way, as long as the main plot of the Stained Frost Labyrinth was not activated, the players would have to face a completely real area every time they entered the prequel dungeon. What difficulties they would encounter in this area depended entirely on the system's calculations and the changes their behavior brought to the area.
This kind of game mode could be said to have started an era, and it was the real reason why The Amber Sword beat other games. A world that was infinitely close to the real world. In fact, since the first version of level 70, every dungeon that appeared in the game used a similar concept, and The Amber Sword began to reach its peak from then on.
Brando himself was naturally impressed by this epoch-making dungeon.
Fortunately, although the dungeon group's existence was constantly changing, at least there were still traces to follow. Especially before entering for the first time, the monster's nest would not disappear into thin air, and the dungeon's terrain would not change much. There were some small secrets that only he knew that could help him a lot.
Because of this, he could be confident.
The only variable was probably Arreck's men who entered the dungeon first. Brando looked back and saw that most of the people who followed him were stunned — the Mana Binding was indeed spectacular. It was said that most of the reasons for generating such a light curtain came from ancient seals, which was the same principle as the accuracy of time.
The magic wall outside the Stained Frost Forest was, according to legend, a self-seal laid down by the God of Giants at the last moment to protect his remains and the divine fire. But over thousands of years, it had long been eroded by the dark magic and riddled with holes.
"Mr. Brando, what the hell is that!" Firas looked up at the light curtain that reached into the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"It looks like a magic barrier," Laurenna murmured.
"It doesn't look like, it is." Charles also raised his head and clicked his tongue in amazement. "This must be a creation from ancient times. After the War of the Saints, there hasn't been such spectacular magic again."
But Brando didn't answer after listening to them, and instead glanced back at Peya sitting on the black wolf's back. The hunter girl was in better spirits this day, but her voice was still a little weak, "Father's notes mentioned this curtain wall, but it should be harmless. They also passed through the light wall at the time — but be careful, the forest behind is the real dangerous area."
"What's behind it?"
"Father mentioned that the forest is immersed in the night all day, and there are some glowing pale people under the night who will lurk in the trunks and attack travelers who pass through it. My father said they are the ghosts of those lost, searching all day for victims who can replace them — "Peya replied in a small voice.
Almost all right, Brando was a little surprised. It seemed that the hunter girl's father had really entered that forest. The first area of Milos' Final Breath was the Night Forest. Just as she had described, there was only night in the forest and no day. There were all kinds of dangers lurking under the night sky.
But this was the easiest area in this pre-dungeon. There was no specific plot in this area, and there were many monster lairs and some special random events. What they encountered was all up to the player's luck.
He was familiar with the forest — from the guide. But Peya's father's notes could help him understand the forest from another perspective, and Brando suddenly realized that his decision seemed to have paid off again.
"Can we find them?" The little prince seemed to have a natural lack of resistance to these mysterious things, and he gripped his sword tightly and asked with a pale face. "I, I have a gem that can detect the undead ahead of time."
"The Occult Gem." Laurenna seemed to know quite a bit about magic items and immediately realized what Haruz was talking about. "Your Highness, it would be great if you had that thing. Spirits and ghosts are unpredictable and dangerous, and the Occult Gem can make it impossible for them to hide. "
"My opinion is the opposite, you'd better put that thing away." Brando interrupted their conversation, and he turned back to Peya and said, "What your father saw was not a ghost, although it looked like one. It was a demonic spirit, very sensitive to magic items and used to killing travelers who carried them and robbing them of their equipment. "
"Demonic spirit?" Firas was a little puzzled.
"It's a very cruel monster; you've heard of the wizards who went crazy in pursuit of the mysteries of magic. Some turned to studying how to control dark magic, but most of them failed. The surging dark magic would tear their bodies apart in an instant, but their purest souls would survive and merge with the magic they loved most in life. Of course, at this point, these wizards could no longer be called human, and all that was left in their minds was their addiction to magic. Other than that, they were like beasts. "
Brando explained calmly.
His words sent a chill down the spines of most of the people present.
Only The Shire nodded, "What the Lord is saying is not the bedtime stories you've heard, and I can testify to that. There are indeed many such people in the history of wizards, but why are there so many demonic spirits here, how strange. "
"It's simple, you'll understand when you enter." Brando replied.
In fact, the group had already approached the light curtain at this moment, and it was only when they got closer that they could see the true face of the light wall. It looked like a flowing wall of water, and the water elements were confined to a thin layer of surface, flowing with light. As everyone approached it, the smooth surface reflected their grotesque image of being stretched.
Brando reached out and touched the light wall – this was to gain the approval of the Mana Binding. A seal was a seal, after all, and only the people of Order could pass through it safely and without worry, while those monsters would be bound inside forever.
The ripples on the light curtain flickered, and then the ripples retreated to both sides. This scene was exactly the same as what Brando had seen in his previous life – soon, a hollow area about two people high and five people wide appeared on the blue light wall. The hollow area revealed a corner of the Forest of Night behind it. Brando narrowed his eyes and looked inside, the dark forest was exactly the same as what he had seen in the guide.
However, even though it was a pitch-black forest, there were still specks of light floating in the air. But it wasn't anything good, because Brendel knew that most of the living creatures in this forest didn't have good intentions.
He took a step inside, one step into the forest that was always shrouded in the silence of the night, then he turned around and said to the people outside, "Come in.
"Please come in. Welcome to the Evernight Forest."
