Vol 5 Chapter 125

The great Emperor Grantorto had a lifetime, leaving countless children and descendants. Among these large and small princes and princesses, who really had inheritance rights, were only the sons and daughters of Queen Ophelia, of which the Queen of Silver was the Queen. The third woman is deeply loved by Her Majesty and the Queen. There are countless princesses in dozens of large and small countries in the south of Warnd under the rule of the Flame Temple. If you compare these princesses to the stars in the night sky, then among the hundreds of millions of stars, There are always one or two of the brightest stars, like the nun princess Magdale and Brandon's pearl Griffin, as Brando knows. But sixty years ago, the night sky of that era was only Belong to one person.

That's Princess Silver, Constance--

Constance can be said to be the type born with a golden spoon. As the daughter of Emperor Grantor and Empress Ophelia, she has a very noble birth. As she grew up day by day, her beauty gradually spread beyond the empire, even in St. Osor, where the wind elves lived, in Faenza in the north, and in the ten years ruled by free mercenaries and merchants. In the city area, people are discussing Her Royal Highness the Cruz. And Constance was the apocalypse. When she was born, she had a part of the blood of silver-this is also the origin of the title of princess. In her girlhood, Master Cruz, the chief court wizard of the Cruz Empire, asserted that she would become The most outstanding wizard of the future empire is just like the scholarly girl Shido. The outstanding talent of Constance soon attracted the attention of the Bugatti. Ajani, the wizarding leader of the Silver Society, once taught Girls' Generation Her Majesty the Queen for quite some time.

But that's all. Not enough to make her the successor of the Empire, don't forget that she has two older brothers. Although the grandson of Emperor Grantordi was wounded in the Northern War. Since then, his injuries have continued. His 27-year-old died young early, but his second son was gifted and intelligent, and was not inferior to his elder brother. He also received the support of the prime minister. The best candidate. For Emperor Grantor, the best option was to let the second son inherit the throne. For the younger daughter Constance to become the court mage or to enter the temple of Yan, this is undoubtedly the best of both worlds.

Brando knew that the development of the last thing had gone so far-the Silver Queen eventually took over the throne, and there must have been some earth-shattering accidents-these accidents were obviously the war in Alqash Happened on top.

He asked, "What exactly did they encounter there? And what does it have to do with my grandfather? Was the trial of my grandfather meant to cover up the truth?"

"Don't worry, take your time. Little guy. They walk through the fog, guess what they saw there" Turaman looked at Brando with interest: "They found the heritage of the Dark Dragon."

"Legacy of the Dark Dragon?" Brando was startled, shook his palm with a guilty conscience. In today's Warnd, the relationship with the Dark Dragon is basically the same as the mouse crossing the street. It can be understood by looking at the situation of the witches. They are only suspected by the world to be infected with the Dark Dragon. And the Dark Dragon's former servant, the Miner, was even expelled from the civilized world and disappeared in the large glacier for thousands of years; the last human in the world to possess the blood of the Miner was Grexiu six hundred years ago Dubd, the great knight of the Knights of the Knights, was found to have a quarter of Miner blood. And when he was burned to death on the torture column, the dark ages were really shuddering.

It is not as harsh today as it was hundreds of years ago. However, it is impossible for the Silver Queen to inherit the crown because of the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. Not to mention the throne, it is more likely that the imprisoned scandal will be permanently imprisoned. But the development of history is bizarrely contrary to common sense. At least everyone in the world knows who is the supreme emperor of Cruz now.

"It was the heritage of that man. When Constance found them, they were sealed in two pieces of broken crystal."

"Two broken crystals?" Brando's heart beats a lot faster, isn't this the soul gem?

Turaman nodded: "The legend that has been circulating among the mountain people of Varachi has been that the Dark Dragon sealed a part of its soul seal in a gray gem before the decisive battle. The gray gem was discovered by a team of explorers in the Baishan Daxi Valley. It is called the Grey Valley Crown. The Grey Valley Crown was artificially divided into several parts after the final battle. The legendary craftsman with a quarter of the mountain people's blood, he completed the work in a valley in Valladung, many mountain people were arrested for labor, most of them were killed afterwards, but A small number of people still survive, so this legend has been passed down by word of mouth from the surviving population to the present day. "

"And Constance found two of the crests of the Ash Valley divided into six. The Miner called these broken crystals called soul gems."

Brando stood still, silent, before continuing to ask, "What then?"

Turaman smiled slightly, and the front of the conversation turned: "Everyone knows that Odin, the dragon of darkness, is the source of all evils, and is a tyrant. However, the jealousy of mortals towards the Miner and the rampant of the power of this tyrant has not stopped for a moment. Why are people so eager to find the battlefield of the last battle, because the legendary Dark Dragon has left the legacy of the Miner-the only one in the mortal era to inherit the blood of the golden blood-beyond the Dragons-left That battlefield. "

"The Dark Dragon has left the Miner legacy on the battlefield of the final battle?" Brando frowned. "How could anyone believe such a ridiculous rumor, if Odin left that heritage on the battlefield, four Is it possible that the wise men remain indifferent, besides, are there not the silver people who participate in the war? "

"You think this reason sounds ridiculous," Tulaman asked Brando with a smile and said, "In fact, otherwise, there is no reason why this rumor has spread. For thousands of years, people have tried everything. The way to find the glorious inheritance of the Min'er people, but found nothing. All that can be left is the battlefield of the final battle. The four sages were kept secret about the outcome of the final battle after the battle of the saints. .Even the people of silver have vowed to keep a secret in accordance with the Holy Covenant. In fact, the world knows what that secret is. "

"The inheritance of the Dark Dragon is too sensitive. If it is to be obtained, it will be difficult for the world to bypass the justice of the Holy War, while the knowledge and civilization of the Mines are not. Constanta Gui is an imperial princess, naturally Well aware of this, in fact, her goal was the latter from the beginning. If the empire can inherit the golden civilization, it will be above Saint Osor and Fazan, and it will also allow the imperial power to be above the temple of Yan. Constance knew very well that now that the Dark Dragon's heritage is here, the rumor is likely to be true, and the Miner heritage is also here. "

"But she also knows that it would be unrealistic to rely on her and Gwendolyn to thoroughly search the entire battlefield—" Turaman paused: "Of course. At that time, she was not clear about Gwendolyn's. For her true identity, all she can think of is to ask me and Dalus, that is, your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather was the marshal of the Alliance of Fire Temple, and Constance was your grandfather's deputy. One of them, after all, must command such a large coalition. Your grandfather can't have only one capable general. At that time, he had several important deputies. One of them was Marshal Darren Hill of the Principality of Antobroz, and the other was me. . "

For the first time, Darren Hill, Brando has heard of the name. However, most of the senior members of the coalition forces were appointed by the Temple of Fire from the best and outstanding soldiers from various countries. The Marshal Lord was probably an extraordinary figure in the Principality of Antobra. And mention this small country located southeast of the Cruz Empire. The first time he could think of it was the nun princess.

Thinking of Magdale's pure appearance like a goddess, and that firm and kind heart, Brando couldn't help but have a while. Such an excellent princess is naturally worthy of the world's pursuit, even the Temple of Fire is no exception, but How many people know that the princess's body may hide an inhuman soul.

He shook his head to throw the idea out of his mind, listening to Turaman continuing: "After she returned to the coalition, she immediately ordered your grandfather to send an army into the final battlefield as the imperial princess, looking for information about the Miners. Inheritance. But Constance is a very savvy woman. Even when she was the princess of the Empire, this extraordinary wisdom has come to the fore. She knew my relationship with the Bugatians, so I begged me in private not to disclose this secret to The Silver Institute, she also knows Dalus and I very much about Eruin, so she vowed that if the empire would inherit the golden civilization and stand on top of the world, Eruin would surely get permanent and real Independence, she vowed in the name of the Cruz's predecessor, the King of Fire, Gilt, which is naturally true and credible, so I and your grandfather were moved from the beginning. "

Speaking of which, Turaman sighed: "This is because I know very well that this little princess of the empire has a good mind, is rational and sober, and will definitely not inherit the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. The inheritance of the golden civilization, for cloth It ’s not a taboo for Canadians. Civilization is passed on, but it ’s exactly what we love to see, so I said yes to your grandfather. ”

"Where's my grandfather?" Brando couldn't help asking.

The question made the elders of the Silver Alliance standing in front of him frowning snow-white eyebrows, watching him a little queerly and answering, "Little boy, your grandfather was very strong and handsome at the time, prestigious in the Temple of Fire Gradually, Emperor Grantorto even intentionally let him join the empire, and also treated him as a marshal, but he was rejected by the old guy with the unique stubbornness and pride of the Eruin. " That being said, but the old man's wrinkled face couldn't help flashing a little praise and appreciation. This was his old friend and the Eruin's backbone, but the color of pride was soon replaced by loneliness, and he shook Shaking his head: "Since ancient times, girls have admired heroes and knights, and a woman as outstanding as Princess Constance naturally has her eyes higher than the top. Under the rule of the Temple of Fire, she can give her a high look, probably It's just your grandfather. "

Brando almost spit out water, was thundered lightly, couldn't help but blurt out and said: "You mean my grandfather and queen sire her ..." The words got stuck behind this word, let him imagine again Rich, can't believe that his grandfather almost became a man of the Silver Queen. And that woman. It is now the master who ruled such a vast area from the Hazel Plateau in the west, the Clover Field to the east, the mountains to Amman in the south, and the Elanta Sea in the north, the highest of the empire. Her Majesty the Cruz Emperor.

Sometimes the reality is even more absurd than the most bizarre knight novel, but this is too ridiculous, making him unacceptable for a while.

However, Turaman nodded solemnly: "Although this relationship never surfaced, at that time, the relationship between your grandfather and His Royal Highness Princess was actually an open secret within the coalition. Therefore, your grandfather must do it publicly and privately. Promise Your Royal Highness. "

"Unexpectedly, two days after the incident, an unexpected turn took place for all of us. No one expected it. Just that night, the news was quietly circulated and passed to the wind of St. Osor. In the ears of the elves and Fazan, by the time we reacted, the whole thing was completely chaotic. In order to grab the front of us, Fazan and the Elves ignored the opposition of the Buga people. They first sent troops into the end. The battlefield. Because of this incident, Her Royal Highness was extremely disappointed with your grandfather. That night, I knew that this secret was only me. Your grandfather and Gwendolyn were three of them. There is no chance. There is no time to deliver the message, and I have the pedigree of half the silver people, and I have no such motivation, and if you rule it out, only your grandfather is the most suspect. "

Brando didn't interrupt. But I also knew in my heart that if he was the first one to doubt in that environment, he would certainly be his grandfather. If you change positions. He is in the position of his grandfather, and maybe he will consider spreading the news. If you exclude personal emotional factors, for Eruin, the best situation on the continent should be St. Osor, Faenza, and the Cruz Empire to restrain each other and maintain a balance of power, so that a small country like Eruin can survive. Although the vows given by the Silver Queen are true and credible, it is only her oath, after all, not to mention that at that time she was not the emperor of the empire, even if she was, but what happened to her a hundred years later?

Therefore, the best way is to spread the news, stir the water, let the Buga people come in, and let everyone lose the opportunity.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Is it really my grandfather ..."

"Of course not." Turaman shook his head flatly: "Who is your grandfather? He would be stabbed in front of his woman. He is the hero of the day. Even for legitimate reasons, he doesn't disdain using these plots. But that At that time, Her Royal Highness could not listen to his explanation. She directly exercised the imperial princess's supervision over the coalition forces, deprived your grandfather of command, placed him under house arrest, and led the army into the final battlefield by herself. "

The old man sighed: "In fact, with your grandfather's prestige at the time, it was very easy to oppose Constance. Although she has a heavily hidden identity as a prisoner in the name, after all, the coalition is not only Cruz, let alone It is unreasonable to deprive the Marshal of the coalition if you doubt it. It is a pity that your grandfather was not willing to turn his face with His Royal Highness, which also caused a later tragedy. "

"Later tragedy?" Brando asked, frowning, cautiously. He only knew that his grandfather had been tried by the Temple of Yan, and His Royal Highness had inherited the throne shortly after that. The three-headed dragons such as Gwendolyn now seemed to be deported by the dragons and exiled to Qiaogendi. Underneath Gang, it was forbidden to step into Vond. But what happened here, despite the divergent opinions, there is still no conclusive conclusion. It is said that his grandfather was attacked from the back when he went deep into the Alkash Mountains. Is this because of the persecution and conspiracy of the temple, or something else? The reason is unknown.

"You should have also guessed. It seems that it was actually Gwendolyn who passed on the three of them. As the princess's housekeeper, they naturally had no opportunity, no motivation and no reason, but if they were dragons, their The behavior is understandable. They confuse Constance to look for the heritage of the Min'er, but their real purpose is actually the soul gem left by the Dark Dragon. Now that they have found the shard of the Ashenvale crown, what? Will you give up easily? "

"Earlier they stood on the same front with Her Royal Highness, but now, Constance wants to control the situation and keep everything within the limits of the empire. From this moment, their goals have run counter. Wendolin, they immediately spread the news, stir the water first, and then waited for the opportunity to seize the soul gem-their purpose is naturally for the legend about the return of the dark dragon in the prophecy of darkness. "

Having said that. Tulaman took a deep look at Brando and saw the latter sweating coldly before proceeding:

"At first, their plots were almost successful, but who did not expect that the secrets on the battlefield of the final battle were far from simple as they imagined." His voice became somewhat distant, as if remembering what happened at that time. Everything: "When Cruz, Fazan. After the wind elves entered the misty battlefield, terrible things happened, and the soldiers lost their minds one by one, as if they were controlled by invisible power. They first Fight each other until there are fewer and fewer people who can still keep their minds ... more terrible is that this situation spreads like a plague. It is no longer limited to the mist, even the coalition forces stationed outside the battlefield The army has also begun to be affected. "

"Things became overwhelming. The Bugatians were too late when they wanted to step in. As the Bugatians' liaison in the Cruz coalition, I naturally knew the news the first time. I knew it at that moment. Trouble is coming-at this moment there is only one possibility, that is, there must be a huge seal on the final battlefield, and the seal underneath is some kind of evil we did not know-and now, someone has touched this seal. We Immediately informed the Silver Alliance Headquarters, after searching in ancient books and dictation of some sages who survived the battle of the saints. We confirmed the news. The secret of the four sages in the last battle of the year was indeed related to this seal. As for what this seal is, even the silver people have no record at all, only a text description describing the situation from the side ... "

"That passage was actually written on the appendix to the Holy Covenant, so it was described: 'I, Elroy Mithril, swore on the Holy Covenant in the name of the people of silver, in the four wise men's Under testimony, the people of silver will thereafter assume the responsibility of monitoring the entire world, and keep this secret until that prophecy comes true. '"

"That prophecy?"

"That prophecy is also written at the end of the appendix, which is described above:"

‘XVI: THETOWER—

Lost moon takes light

XX: JUDGEMENT——

Light is lost.

XVII: THESTAR——

The silver generation is lost on the earth, marching in darkness and obscurity.

VIII: STRENGTH--

The encounter between the emperor and the fool.

IX: THEHERMIT——

The rusty clockwork is resetting.

XXI: THEWORLD--

Fate-changing sword.

With half a silver vein flowing in his body, Tulaman's memory is so amazing that he described the entire prophecy verbatim. Brando was terrified when he heard the entire prophecy, because he suddenly found that he had seen it. When he crossed into this world, he had witnessed the previous paragraph of this prophecy more than once in those successive dreams.

"What exactly does this language describe?" He couldn't help asking.

But Turaman shook his head: "We don't know, El Roy was the previous generation wizarding leader of the Silver Institute, and he never mentioned what would be added in the appendix, let alone he was there. It is unfortunate that he died in an accident in Lunian, and we can no longer ask him for verification. "

"So what's the seal under the last battle?"

"Yes ... Crystal," Tulaman hesitated. "Behind the fog is a majestic temple. According to the description, the temple is 66 feet high, and the two sides are submerged in the mist. I don't know how much Broad, like the place where the last war happened, the temple was very damaged, and in the center of the temple, a huge purple crystal was obliquely inserted in the ruins, and the crystal seemed to fall from the sky , Inserted directly into the solid marble ground of the temple, causing slabs and earth to arch, and half of the volume of the crystal was buried in the ground. Anyone near the crystal would be assimilated by the crystal and become a monster ... "

"Become a monster," Brando frowned, feeling intently, asking, "become such a monster?"

Tulaman patted the back of his neck lightly: "From here, crystalline cuticles will grow into pieces, and then the whole person will gradually be assimilated by the crystal and become a monster similar to a half-man and half-crystal. At this time He had completely lost his mind, and became like a beast, fiercely murderous, and extremely hated the original human beings of the same kind-or wind elves. "

Crystallization disease-

Brando had understood what that was, and he couldn't help but think of the crystallized monster he encountered at Ampelsel for the first time. There was only one thing that could cause crystallizing disease, and that was the Saumur crystal.

...
