Brando looked at the grayish-brown stone on the table and was at a loss of what to do.
Just three days ago, this inconspicuous thing almost caused a disaster. Just after the unknown pressure above Fathom Harbor disappeared, an earthquake occurred at the bottom of the sea not far from the harbor. The earthquake caused a small-scale tsunami, but fortunately, it did not cause too much chaos. Although it was very likely to be a coincidence, Brando knew that it was more likely to be caused by the previous tremors in the Sea of Magic. After all, this world was created by the elements bound by the law in the Chaos of Magic. It would really show the subtle changes in the Sea of Magic.
But now, it was lying quietly on the walnut wood desk. It was plain, rough, and did not have any magical reaction. No matter what method was used to examine it, there would not be any reaction unless you took out a few other pieces of it. Other than that, it was just like a normal rock on the roadside. If he had not seen its outstanding performance a few days ago, he would have thought it was just a normal rock by the roadside. If he had not seen its outstanding performance a few days ago, he would have thought so.
All signs indicated that the pressure that appeared above Fathom Harbor three days ago was likely related to the Twilight Dragon. Although the pressure only appeared for a moment and did not appear again after that, Brando had experienced the later events of the Twilight Wolves in the game. He was very sensitive to the doomsday-like aura in the Twilight. Although it was only for a moment, he was still keenly aware of the existence of this aura.
Previously, when the three fragments resonated, they formed something similar to a broken map. But why would there be such a big reaction when the four fragments resonated? What was this thing? Why would it attract the attention of the existence in the Chaos? Generally speaking, only the appearance of a divine artifact could cause such a big shock. Perhaps these fragments were related to a certain divine artifact? However, there were only so many famous divine artifacts in Wohnde. The Scepter of Mountains and Rivers, the Blade of Supremacy, the Holy Book of White, the Glorious Holy Sword, and the Eternal Holy Spear. Brando eliminated all of them one by one. Even when the Azure Knight used the Azure Lance to pierce the heart of the Twilight Dragon, it did not cause such a big reaction, nor did it attract the arrival of the Twilight Dragon.
Logically speaking, the Twilight Dragon should be more wary of the Azure Lance, shouldn't it? In other words, these three fragments belonged to the Twilight Dragon. However, the Twilight Dragon did not have a physical body in Wohnde. Its body only appeared in the chaos, and it was impossible for it to leave any relics in the material world. It did not use weapons, and the Twilight Dragon did not have any famous divine weapons. Brando was puzzled. Even the knowledgeable Silver Elf Princess didn't know the origin of these stone fragments. Senior Maynild also didn't have any impression of it. He even asked the Silver Dragon Lady from the dragon race, but unfortunately, he still got a negative answer.
This gray stone fragment seemed to have never existed in the history of this world.
However, it was found by an unknown person.
Brando remembered how he got the first fragment. It was next to the body of Amandina's father. It was placed in his belongings, together with the letter to Amandina. This was enough to show that Amandina's father was likely to know the value of this stone fragment. However, Amandina's father was born in a small noble family in Braggs. His ancestors made military contributions in the war against the barbarians in the Year of the Croaking Frogs. As a result, he was titled as a Knight. Later on, there were several outstanding heads of the family. When the family's status was at its highest, it was once a baron. However, when it came to Amandina's father's generation, the family had already fallen. In the background of the game, Amandina's father was an adventure enthusiast, and also a part-time archeologist. He was out exploring all year round and rarely returned home. When he died, it just so happened that in the process of an adventure, he was killed by the Golden Demonic Tree.
"The Amber Sword" was a game that paid great attention to details. If you looked carefully, you could dig out the story behind many quests. However, Amandina's father was considered ordinary in the huge background of the game, and could not even be considered detailed. Those well-known quests, which one of them did not have a background story behind it, were unearthed bit by bit by the players, and not a single detail was left out. In the background of these quests, Amandina's quest line could only be considered ordinary at best. Even in the game, Amandina's own story line was much more detailed than her father's. After all, she was one of the main NPCs in Erouine's later game.
But it was this person who was evaluated as ordinary by all the players, now that he was connected to this fragment that was very likely to be related to the Twilight Dragon in some way, and he did not casually put this fragment in his belongings. Amandina's father was very likely to have realized the value of this fragment.
This was strange, how did he recognize it?
Brando himself had the experience of two lives, and as a player, he had traveled extensively in the game, and boasted that he was knowledgeable, and compared to the average person in this world, he knew more about some of the ancient documents. The little Silver Elf princess Metisha had experienced the War of the Holy Saints, and was a witness and witness of that great history. She had a wealth of knowledge and experience. Senior Maynild's experience in the game was not inferior to his, except for the fact that she was slightly shorter than him in the game. She was even better than him in the game, unlike him who could only be considered knowledgeable after transmigrating to this world. She was famous for being a moving database in the game. In addition to the Silver Dragon Lady from the Dragon Clan, the Merchant Lady who had inherited the Witch Queen's knowledge, and one of the Four Sages who had left not long ago, the Wind Empress Saint-ausol, none of them could recognize the value of this inconspicuous fragment.
But Amandina's father had recognized it.
Brando couldn't help but deeply suspect the identity of Amandina's father. In the background of the game, he was just an ordinary fallen noble, but now it seemed that everyone had underestimated this NPC who did not leave behind a single line in The Amber Sword, and only left behind a letter that was passed down from his family. Brando suddenly remembered that even though he had talked to Amandina about her father a few times, he had never delved too deeply into it, mainly because he did not want this ill-fated girl to remember those sad memories, and also because he did not think that there were any secrets that could be uncovered from Amandina's father.
"Ah, I was careless …"
Brando couldn't help but nod his head. He raised his head and shook the bell on the desk. The door opened, and Felaern walked in with a straight face. Ever since she became Metisha's Knight Card, she was even more rude to her previous master, Brando, but she was still able to fulfill her duties as Brando's personal secretary. Brando saw that there was a little tail behind Felaern. It was not her sister Tia, but the Roman lady. The merchant lady was used to coming uninvited, and she winked at Brando. Before Felaern could speak, she spoke first: "Brando, I have something to talk to you about."
"What do you want this time?" Brando asked with a frown. It was not that he was not happy to see his fiancée, but the Roman seemed to be particularly interested in the stone fragments that could cause the sky to change colors. There were a few times when she wanted to trick him into giving it to her. How could Brando be at ease with giving her this thing? Wouldn't that be the same as giving a time bomb to a terrifying breakup? He would definitely not do such a stupid thing, but the merchant lady's ability to pester people was unparalleled, to the point that he would have a headache whenever he saw her face.
"This time it's official business, Brando," the Roman said with a smile: "The witches seem to be saying some strange things."
Brando's face became serious when he heard this.
This day had finally come.
The Wind Empress had already told him that there was more than one inheritance of the Dark Dragon, and the witches only listened to the legitimate heir of the Dark Dragon. However, there was still a huge disagreement in the witches' kingdom about who was the legitimate heir. The witches in Erouine's territory were more inclined to Brando's side. One should never underestimate the witches' influence in Erouine's territory. In the game, Erouine had another name, which was known as the Kingdom of Witches. Although Erouine was small, there were several important witches in its territory. For example, the legitimate heir of the Dead Moon branch, Aifeiro, the legitimate heir of the Dead Moon branch, Sugar Pot, the legitimate heir of the Dead Moon branch, and the successor of the Dead Moon branch, Supreme Witch Mikaya, who was also the little loli Brando met in Shallow Water Town. In addition to the legendary witch of the Harp Moon, there were four legitimate inheritances of the witch branches in this small kingdom. The strength of the witches in this kingdom was evident.
Moreover, these four witches' inheritances were not ordinary inheritances. Almost all of them had the highest status in the Kingdom of Witches. Among them, the witches of the Dead Moon were the guardians of the kingdom's law. Their status was second only to the Witch Queen and the witch of the thirteenth moon, the Black Moon, which only existed in myths. The witches of the Dead Moon were known as rebellious witches. The ideology of this inheritance was often contrary to other witches, and could be said to be deviant. However, there were often shocking experts in this inheritance. For example, Mikaya, who later became the Supreme Witch, and her teacher, 'False Queen' Asca.
As for the witches of the Harp Moon, the most mysterious prophet, Brando once suspected that they were likely to be his Roman aunt. This inheritance was not famous in history, but it was very famous in the Kingdom of Witches because they were the earliest followers of the Dark Dragon. Finally, there were the witches of the Dead Moon. Brando witnessed the battle of Sugar Pot with his own eyes. This witches' inheritance was already the worst in Erouine's territory.
Not to mention, Brando later found that the Witch Queen's inheritance was still in Erouine. In fact, he even suspected that the inheritance of the Four Witches in Erouine was most likely arranged for the Witch Queen's inheritance.
In this life, Brando obtained the Dark Dragon's inheritance relatively early. In addition to his previous performance, the voices of the witches in Erouine's territory had the upper hand in the Kingdom of Witches. Because of this, many witches from other countries even came from afar to seek refuge with Brando's forces. Some of the witches he later accepted came from Fanzin and even the edge of the Great Glacier. For example, the bloodlines of those remote inheritances. However, the voices of the witches in Erouine's territory had the upper hand, but it did not mean that there were no other voices. In fact, when Brando's power was at its peak, most of the forces in the Kingdom of Witches were still conservative. After all, the Dark Dragon's inheritance was divided into several parts, and Brando only obtained one part of it.
In addition to the conservative forces, the biggest voice of opposition came from the witches in Cruz's territory. These witches had obviously followed the Silver Queen long ago, and they obviously believed that the person they followed was the true orthodox.
But before this, the conflicts between the witches were still lurking under the surface. However, it could only be regarded as a turbulent undercurrent. On the surface, at least, they had not fallen out with each other. But this superficial peace only lasted until the Silver Queen revealed her true identity. Just a few days ago, Brando had heard about the Jorgendy Ridge's army and the Lion Men's army changing flags. A thousand years after the War of the Holy Saints, the flag of the Miirnas was once again flying on the earth. This incident had obviously given the witches in Cruz a shot in the arm. Moreover, there were various signs that indicated that the Silver Queen was likely to be the true orthodox Dark Dragon.
First of all, this queen held at least two inheritances in her hands, and there might be more. Even the current Brando was only on par with her. But the key was that the Silver Queen obtained Odin's inheritance from the battlefield of the final battle. She knew more about the history of the past, and the path she was taking was obviously the one that Odin had taken.
And all of this showed the legitimacy of this queen.
These days, Brando had learned from various sources about the surrounding areas of Fathom Port. There were many suspicious people who had appeared. Most of these people were the mountain people, the Senia people, and even some people had seen the legendary black-haired, golden-eyed Miirnas. These people mostly came from one place – the great glacier. They only went to one place – the capital of the Cruz Empire. There were various signs that indicated that the Dark Dragon had revived. The empire that was once above the entire Wohnde was reviving.
This was undeniable legitimacy, just like the black flag that the Silver Queen, Constance, had raised.
Such changes would naturally have an impact on the witches' kingdom. The biggest change was that the witches' support for Brando had gradually begun to lean towards the queen's side. Even many of the previously conservative forces had begun to make a choice. This was news that Brando had already known. In fact, Sugar Pot and Babasha had already warned him.
And now, from what Miss Merchant said, even the witches who had originally sought refuge with him had begun to waver.
This was not a good sign.
Brendel furrowed his brows.
