"So you're agreeing?" Brando didn't care about Dark Ko Hua's temper. Instead, he saw that her tone had softened. It seemed like the Heart of Disaster was an unexpected gain for her. Even the frustration and anger from the failure in the Deadly Frost Forest no longer showed on her face. Dark Ko Hua hesitated for a while before hesitantly saying, "I have a request." "Speak." "You have to promise to protect me during this period of time. If anyone wants to harm me and my sister, no matter who the other party is, you have to do your best to ensure our safety. Moreover, when I feel that I have the ability to protect myself, I can choose to leave on my own. You can't stop me. Only then can I consider reluctantly agreeing to your request." Brando looked at Dark Ko Hua's blood-red eyes and didn't comment. He replied, "The last condition needs to be changed slightly. When you can defeat me, you can choose to leave on your own."
Dark Ko Hua gritted her teeth and couldn't help but reveal the sharp fangs unique to the Dusk Wolf Clan. "When I can defeat you, I'll definitely cut you into pieces, you bastard." She thought to herself, but still nodded and reluctantly agreed to Brando's condition. Originally, the last condition was just her being unreasonable and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Brando. She didn't expect that he would see through it so quickly, so she didn't want to be thick-skinned and continue to pester him.
Brando pushed away the breastplate on the table and asked calmly, "What's the origin of this breastplate?" Dim Korfa's request for protection came as no surprise to him. He could tell that she was still feeling insecure about her current situation. Although he promised Milos not to kill her, it didn't mean that he wouldn't hand her over to someone else. In the civilized world, there were organizations like the Four Holy Cathedrals that pursued the power of order. If the Holy Cathedral of Fire found her and asked him to hand her over, there was no reason for him to harm his own interests for a potential enemy. Brando knew that even though Dark Ko Hua was stubborn on the surface, she actually cherished her life a lot.
Furthermore, she was very greedy for power and authority. To the kind Ko Hua, he could only reason with her, but to the dark Ko Hua, it was too easy to catch her tail.
Dark Ko Hua looked at the breastplate unhesitatingly and unwillingly replied, "This breastplate is called Ronia's Crevice. It is a hero's armor tailor-made for the Supreme King of the Dazzling Light, Ronia. It is only a part of it. This set of armor is called the Logical Sin in our era because it can distort the laws of nature. When normal law threads hit it, the effect will be completely distorted and lose their effect."
"Then isn't it invincible?" Brando looked at the breastplate with some surprise. This effect was at least at the level of a Divine Artifact. "It's not that exaggerated. Don't open your eyes so wide. It will make people think that you're just a country bumpkin," Dark Ko Hua replied in a disdainful tone, "It's just a distortion. It's still far from being able to completely isolate the laws of nature." Brando didn't wait for Ko Hua to finish speaking and checked the armor himself. The original attribute of the armor was' Breastplate (Ancient) ', but after Dark Ko Hua described it, it became:
Ronia's Crevice (Breastplate). Defense 5. Strength + 15. Vitality + 75. Gate of Law: Weakens law attacks by one level.
This was indeed an ancient item. Brando understood when he saw the strange attribute ratio. And this breastplate was not invincible in Ko Hua's words? He couldn't help but gulp. Weakening law attacks by one level meant that the Lines of Law had no effect on the existence of Elemental Awakened and him. The Lines of Law attacks of Elemental Awakened opponents were as weak as the peak of Gold. The only drawback of this breastplate was that its ability was basically useless against opponents below Elemental Awakened. However, this only drawback was basically insignificant compared to its advantages. This was because he had improved the toughest defense against the Lines of Law after Elemental Awakening, and this was only one of the accessories of this set of armor. Brando couldn't imagine what the attributes of the full set of Ronia's Crevice were.
"The Dazzling Light are of the Dusk species?"
"No," Ko Hua shook his head, "They are Gold Folk."
"Gold Folk?" Brando suddenly realized that this armor might have once been Ko Hua's spoils of war. Sure enough, she replied proudly, "I did pluck this from Ronia's corpse. It's of no value. I just kept it as a souvenir, so I only kept the breastplate with his emblem." "What a wastrel …" Brando finally understood how terrifying Ko Hua was in ancient times. No wonder she didn't care about mortals at all. Now that she had fallen to this state, it was difficult for her.
"Then what about this?" Brando moved his hand away from the breastplate and placed it on the demonic longbow. The classification of ancient items was very vague. The Ronia's Crevice had the strength of a mythical item. In fact, in a sense, it was close to a subdivine artifact, but it did not have the ability to instantly change the situation of a battle like a subdivine artifact. Moreover, most subdivine artifacts had extraordinary origins and were not comparable to mythical items.
"Bow of Retribution."
"What's the use of it?"
"Hmph, it has another name. It's called the Bow of Retribution. It means a life in exchange for a life. This bow was made from the head of a Balrog Lord in the lower layer of the Sulfur River. In my opinion, it's just a very interesting toy."
Brando frowned. Ko Hua's description gave him a bad feeling. He searched for the attributes of the bow. After Ko Hua's simple description, the attributes of the bow became visible:
Bow of Retribution. Attack Power 75-105. Retribution: At the cost of one soul, draw the bow once.
There were no attribute bonuses, and the attack power was ridiculously high, almost as high as the Holy Lance of Heaven. When he looked at the attached skills, he knew that this was a demonic item through and through. Brando had always kept a respectful distance from demonic items, but he still asked, "This bow requires the wielder to consume his life to draw the bow?"
"Of course not. Otherwise, who would use such a stupid thing? This bow consumes its user's life, and it can easily kill an Elemental Awakened being in your language, no different from squashing an ant. "Korfa replied.
Brendel was taken aback. [This bow is so powerful?] Although sacrificing a life in exchange for a chance to draw the bow sounded evil, if there was more than one enemy in a battle, he could kill the weaker opponents first in exchange for a chance to draw the bow to deal with the Elemental Awakened existences. After all, Elemental Awakened existences were highly respected figures in any region, so this bow was a little too outrageous.
However, Dark Ko Hua seemed to guess what he was thinking when he saw his expression. "Stop dreaming, country bumpkin. How can an ordinary soul drive it? The soul that drives this bow must at least have the seed of the law."
"Seed of the law?"
"According to you, it must at least be Elemental Awakened."
"F * ck." Brando immediately lost interest in the bow. A demonic item was indeed a demonic item, full of the taste of chicken ribs. "Then what about this thing?" He took out the heavy stone scepter and asked. Unexpectedly, Dark Ko Hua glanced at it and his eyes flickered slightly. "This thing has some history. I'll tell you about it later. Let me tell you about the history of the last cavalry sword."
Brando was slightly startled, but he nodded calmly. She looked at the cavalry sword with a pod-shaped guard. It was a one-handed sword, a bit like a command sword. The whole sword was quite exquisite, a bit like a ceremonial item. "This is the work of the Fire Elves. They forged this sword from a large furnace. I like its shape very much. It's also my trophy." Dark Ko Hua still answered with some hatred. "It's called the Realm of Fire."
Brendel's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name. He suddenly remembered that his senior sister had a similar weapon in his previous life. It was called the World of Wind, and that staff was also an ancient artifact. Only now did he remember that the staff was very similar to this cavalry sword, and there was a statue of the King of Wind Elves at the top of the staff.
He subconsciously glanced at Maynild and found that the female Knight was also looking at the sword a little strangely. Obviously, it had also evoked her memories. "Could it be that this sword and the staff are a set?" Brando picked up the sword.
[Realm of Fire] Attack 55-87, Bloodline Power + 100. [Bloodline of Fire]: When the Realm of Fire is in flames, the attributes increased by the user will be converted into strength. At the same time, when the wielder comes into contact with flames, the wielder will not be harmed. Instead, the damage will be converted into healing effects. When the wielder casts a fire-related spell, casting speed + 3.
"What an extreme attribute!" Brando first sighed. Such extreme attributes of an ancient item were really rare in modern magic items. This sword was a typical magic sword. A magic swordsman would be like a fish in water with it. However, Brando still had the same thought. It was a pity that he did not walk the path of a magic swordsman. He looked at Maynild, then put down the sword and looked up, waiting for Dark Ko Hua's final explanation.
There was no doubt that among the five pieces of equipment, the most valuable was the stone scepter.
Sure enough, Ko Hua looked at the scepter and sighed. "Actually, you should have heard of this scepter before. It is the will of the mountains." "The will of the mountains?" The one who spoke was Maynild. The female Knight frowned and asked, "Is it a sacred item of the Goddess Gaia?"
"It's that thing!" After Maynild's reminder, Brando also remembered. Today, on the southwest border of the Cruz Empire, on the great plains bordering Erouine, the area known as the Grassland of Benin was still the traditional sphere of influence of the Temple of Earth. In the north was a steep snow-covered mountain range. The kingdom of the mountain dwarves separated the southern border of the empire from the Grassland of Benin. It was where the Kingdom of the Lion Men of Toquinin was located. In history, the Golden Mane Lion Men had once escaped from the Sacred Covenant, which was a disgrace to them. After the victory of the War of the Holy Saints, Toquinin and the Temple of Earth were excluded, which aroused the hatred between the humans and the Lion Men. To this day, the Lion Men of Toquinin were still invading the borders of the humans, as if they were just trying to regain their lost glory.
In an earlier era, the power of the Temple of Earth was not as weak as it was today. Before the fall of Babel Fortress, it was said that in the mountains north of the Grassland of Benin, there was a temple that belonged to the Goddess of Earth. There were three divine artifacts in the temple. One was the Halran Gaia, the other was the Holy Lance of Heaven, and the last one was the will of the mountains.
Among the three divine artifacts, the Halran Gaia was a sacred sword given to the hero of the giants, Miguel. Later, when Miguel was defeated and died, this sword was lost in the mortal world. The Halran Gaia in Brando's hand was this item, but this sacred sword had suffered irreversible damage along with its owner in the war with the Twilight. Until now, it only had the power of a Fantasy weapon. It could be said that its symbolic significance to the Temple of Earth was far greater than its actual use.
The origin of the Holy Lance of Heaven was needless to say. It was a sacred object given to the heroes of the mortal world by Gaia. As for the last mountain, it was a sacred object of the Goddess of Earth herself. In the legends of the Origin, only her priests could pick it up, and the person who picked it up would naturally become the next master of the Temple of Earth, the Divine Chosen of the Goddess of Earth Gaia.
And Brando happened to have such a person under his command.
Himilud's shepherdess, Hipamira.
Priest Himilud believed in the eldest daughter of the Goddess of Earth Gaia, the Goddess of Tundra Himilud. In fact, she was also a follower of Gaia. The key was that the priests of the Temple of Earth in this era actually believed in the giant Miguel. Miguel was the creator of the dwarves and belonged to the dwarven gods. The real priests of Gaia had disappeared long before the War of the Holy Saints, and Himilud's priests were the ones closest to this pantheon.
Brando suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully picked up the scepter. The scepter was heavy and cold to the touch. Among the three sacred objects of Gaia, the Halran Gaia, the Azure Lance of Heaven, and the Mountain of Rivers were all true divine artifacts. Except for the Halran Gaia which was damaged, the other two were well preserved, so the scepter in his hand should also be a genuine divine artifact.
He raised the scepter and an attribute menu with dark golden pages appeared in his field of vision:
Mountain's Will (Divine Equipment), Attack 1-215, Strength + (1-400). The winner of Earth and Mountains: The one who picks up the scepter will gain a Warrior's level and battle experience equal to the Priest's level. The Priest can integrate the blessings of the earth into his or her battle style. The more blessings he or she receives, the higher the attack power and attributes of the scepter.
Special: Only priests of Gaia's will can use this scepter –
Brando looked at the attributes and could not help but be slightly startled. What the hell were these attributes? Attack power 1-215? The upper limit of the attack was almost twice that of the Azure Lance. One must know that the Azure Lance was already known as one of the most offensive weapons among the divine artifacts, and looking at this lower limit of attack again, he was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that this legendary scepter was actually a weapon that depended on one's looks? Looking at the attribute bonus again, he could not help but be even more confused. The attack bonus could be fluctuated, but how could the attribute bonus fluctuate?
He subconsciously looked at the additional skills at the back and suddenly realized what was going on. However, he still did not quite understand what this so-called Earth's Blessing was. The attributes of the entire weapon were unclear, and perhaps he would have to wait for Hipamira to come and try it out to understand what was going on.
He hesitated for a moment before putting down the divine artifact in his hand, because at this time, a small ball of light flew in from the skylight at the top of the hall and came in front of Brando, and then put down a letter. Brando looked at the letter and was immediately stunned. The emblem of a gray wolf was drawn on the letter.
This was not because he was confused, but because he was surprised. He did not expect that the opportunity would come at this moment, and the many days of waiting suddenly seemed to have paid off. "Carglise has finally arrived." He let out a long sigh and looked up at the kind Korfa. The latter had obviously read what she wanted from his heart. She smiled gently and said, "I've always heard that the Count is preparing for a war. It seems that the time has come. Unfortunately, Korfa is really not interested in these things, so I'll have to take my leave first."
Brando was a little embarrassed. Sometimes, divine power was an incredible thing in the eyes of mortals. Although he knew that Ko Hua would not use it to do anything bad, he still felt very uncomfortable. He could not help but explain. "This is not for war, but for peace." Brando answered, perhaps he did not want to leave a bad impression on her. Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head and said, "I understand, my lord. Not all battles are meaningless. For selfish desires, for justice, war has all kinds of goals, and some even have the attributes of evil and justice. I'm not against war, I just don't like fighting. My lord, you don't have to worry too much. "
After saying this, she bowed slightly to Brando and left. She did not behave like a demigod, but more like a well-behaved noble lady.
Ko Hua in the dark did not seem to hear the conversation between her sister and Brando. She stood there motionlessly until her sister left. She shook her head and said, "How naive."
Brando did not expect this girl to be so merciless to her twin sister. He could not help but look at her. But what he did not expect was that Senior Maynild seemed to agree with her sister. But then he understood that the kind Ko Hua was indeed too naive when she said that she wanted to stay away from war. Hating war wasn't a bad thing, but sometimes disputes couldn't be avoided just because you wanted to. Blindly avoiding war was actually just enjoying the protection provided by others.
But one day, everyone who was willing to fight for you would leave you, and you would not be able to avoid it. When Arreck forced her to intervene in the conflict, it was the dark Ko Hua who stood up for her sister. But what if the dark Ko Hua was no longer there?
Brendel shook his head and said to the little ball of light: "Can I trouble you to call Monica over for me?"
The light spirit nodded happily at him in the air and flew out of the hall in the blink of an eye.
Brando opened the letter. It was indeed a familiar name.
"I dare not forget your kindness. I await your arrival.
— Corwin. "
He looked up, and his gaze seemed to have passed through the stained glass arch of the hall. Under the blue sky, on the other side of the clouds, there were the mountains of Yu Song. The curtains of the Autumn War finally opened.
