Vol 5 Chapter 144

In the hall of the Valhalla Tree, the hall was silent for a moment--

Antinina slowly lowered her hand, the prismatic crystal glowed a faint light in her palm, and the clerk's eyes also glowed quietly, without a word. . . Her Royal Highness watched her aside and asked softly, "What's up, what did Earl Toniger say? What's going on with the Empire ... Mez, are you okay, Mr. Earl, is the situation irreversible? Anymore? "

Antinina's eyes returned to clearness for a moment. She seemed to be returning to her head, suddenly stunned: "What ...? No, nothing, Lord Lord. The situation on their side is okay. Something unexpected happened, but the situation Still in control. "She said silently, Brando seldom talked to her about her father, but asked her about her father seriously.

‘Antitina, there is one thing about your father. I want to talk to you. Are you familiar with your father ’s life? ’

'Familiar with? ’

‘I mean, your father was passionate about adventure, but do you know where he ’s been in his life, I mean, what ’s weird? ’

‘It ’s heavy either, Lord Lord? ’

‘It ’s important — for now, Antitina, I suspect your father ’s death is not that simple. ’

Antinina's heart was disturbed, she clenched the crystal silently, and her sharp tip penetrated into the skin without any notice. The death of her father may not be an accident, but a conspiracy. Conspiracy, the word jumped in her mind, her childhood memories are very simple, at that time she lived with her family in Dendrobium area-not aristocratic area, at most it is a place where the middle class live in Prague. As a child, life at home was pretty good, and it was a carefree time. In the impression, his father was a respected gentleman. People called him a jazz. According to his mother's description, their origins were indeed nobles. The family had a glorious time, and their ancestors were knights of the kingdom. And made great achievements.

But that's it.

My father is really passionate about adventure. He spends most of his time outside. He has traveled to many places. Eruin has almost covered his footprints. He has even been to foreign countries such as the Empire, the Great Horned Deer Principality, and so on. It's not clear that Antitina has been to those places. She remembers that her father particularly liked to tell them the story of her trip. But because of a kind of rebellious psychology, she never deliberately remembered, just remembering that these travel diaries are not too special, nothing more than where they have been, what kind of beautiful scenery they have witnessed, and he has encountered danger several times. , But they are very common things.

My father has several friends, but most of them are not fixed. However, it is a relationship like a donkey friend, and it seems impossible to say what traps it will fall into. Have to say something special about his father. Antitina remembered that he seemed to be particularly interested in collecting stones from various places. From agate, obsidian, chalcedony to all kinds of rough stones, he did not care about the value of these stones themselves, but more importantly they were buried underground. And see the process of the sun again:

‘Nobody knows what a thrilling beauty hidden in these ugly stones, Antitina. They may be worthless or worth a thousand dollars, but they are not important. The important thing is that every stone, they are buried deep and they see the sun. They have witnessed a period of history. Compared with this long period of time, our lives are nothing but transient. ’

She remembered that her father was a devout follower of the Gaia monk. This monk would not only believe in Martha, but also the follower God of the Martha, the goddess of the earth Gaia. The father was keen to discover the gems buried in the land Is to feel the history and feelings of the earth contained in these stones. This was the beginning, but then something changed. Antitina suddenly remembered that one day, her father came to her with a gem she had never seen before:

'Antitina, this stone is called amber, I found it from a strange place, you look at its beauty, but it is more than just a gem, Antitina, do you know that there is in this world Many gems contain magical powers that we can not imagine, and amber is the best among them. ’

'magic? ’

‘It ’s the driving force behind our world. With it, people can drive magic, soar in the sky, and even change the world. ’

‘With it, can I be a wizard, Dad? ’

‘No, Antitina, for wizards, magic is the privilege of a few people, but this stone is different. The Nazaires invented the magic guide, and this stone will eventually change our world. ’

‘This is—Amber? ’

'Hehe, this is the amber rough, Antitina, it is far from becoming amber, but it does not matter, these amber roughs contain a huge secret, it is like a key, and one day, We will meet the real amber, Antitina. "

‘Well, Dad. ’

Suddenly a door opened in the darkness, and memories were flowing like silent water.

Antinina slowly opened her palm and lowered her head. The diamond-shaped crystal was shining in the gloom. This is a long-range projection crystal made of magic moonstone. It is a real magic gem. But it was far less beautiful than the amber rough that his father had given her in the afternoon. The magic gem is the crown among gems, and the amber is the brightest star on the crown.

Since then, his father has become increasingly obsessed with adventures. He spends less time at home every time. Every time, he takes away a lot of money from his home. The neighbor said privately that his father was outside. Lover, my mother becomes more melancholy day by day. It was at that time that she gradually changed her impression of her father, from the original admiration, to resentment, to indifference, and finally seemed to have forgotten the existence of such a person until Brando sent his death news to her.

At that time, Antitina felt that she should not be surprised at all, because sometimes, even she couldn't help wondering if her father had another woman outside, but Brando gave her at least a negative answer.

At least he hasn't deceived them.

But that was not why she forgave him.

‘This stone is called amber. ’

‘It ’s going to provide endless power to the magic wizard. ’

‘Someday it will change our world. ’

Antitina stood silently. The breeze blew in from the arch window of the Hall of the Valhalla Tree, flipped the drawings on the desk, and the afternoon sun tilted into the hall, forming a beam of light. Princess Griffin looked at Miss Staff's face and suddenly there was something shiny, like a string of beads, shining. After a while. Antitina took a deep breath, stepped back, wiped her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, Her Royal Highness."

"I'm sorry to say that," Her Royal Highness looked at her a little puzzled: "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking of my father."

"very sorry……"

"Don't be sorry, Your Royal Highness," Antitina smiled. Pear with rain: "Master Lord made us a little more vigilant during this period, the magic tide is approaching, and many abnormalities have occurred in various places."

"It's true," Griffin sighed. "But what really disturbs me is something else, and the undead are starting to get mad again."

Antitina was about to leave, and when she heard this, she stopped again: "His Royal Highness Princess, it doesn't seem to be quite right for Wang Dang."

"Tony Gelber's reform hurt the dukes. But our power is far better than them. Don't worry--"

Antitina seemed to know the princess again.

"what happened?"

"His Royal Highness. The ones I told you last time, I hope you think about it."

Princess Griffin flushed slightly: "I will seriously consider it."

...

Antinina's father is a follower of the Gaia monk? The light of the projection crystal flashed twice, then dimmed, Brando lowered his hand silently, and frowned. Gaia monk? Does Eruin have such a church, or still operates near Braggs. Why has he never heard of it? There are many churches in Gaelin who believe in the goddess of Gaia, among them the Silver Lily Church and the Holy Cross of Gaiasiu, but never heard of a church called Gaia What kind of cult does such an organization exist in? But it doesn't look like it. Collecting stones is not uncommon.

Antitina's father found the amber rough in Yanbao, but what could the amber rough have to do with it? Brando took the gray-brown stone from the other pocket, and it looked like it had nothing to do with any rough stone. It looked like some broken pieces of shale.

There is a huge secret in the amber rough?

Brando shook his head. It seems that Antitina's interest in the magic guide originated from her father, but whether her father was only interested in the endless power provided by magic gems, or was looking for something else What secret, as well as the secret of this brown stone, is probably only known by God. If it wasn't clear to Antitina, the only clues left were probably those of her father's friends during his lifetime, and the strange Gaia monk.

Antitina said that her father didn't know many friends during his lifetime, and most of them were not fixed. This may sound like a problem, but it is strange to think about it carefully. If her father was just an aristocrat who was keen on adventure, that's okay to say, but he was also a devotee of the Gaia monk, then the question came-what about his church members? Could it be said that this so-called Gaia congregation is similar to some strange Hermitage congregations in Eruin, and most of the members in the church do not know each other and never communicate with each other.

This doesn't sound like a cult.

Anomalies are demon, and it seems that the clue is about to fall on it.

He stopped suddenly.

"Brando?" Miss Merchant was puzzled.

Brando had just returned from his thoughts. He raised his head, his brows frowning deeply, his eyes fell on the front and glanced left and right, holding one's coat of the earl's coat with one hand, and the other reaching out. Into it, he quietly held the sword of the earth with a icy hilt; beside him, Frow frowned, holding a large volume of parchment papers in his left hand, extending his right hand, and a silver cane had Appears out of thin air and falls firmly in her hands.

"Manipulating dreams?"

There is an empty walkway ahead. This corridor connects the front hall. At this moment, the lights are bright and the torches are shining on the walls, but there is no one in the corridor, and there is a weird silence.

"Giggle, Lord Earl is very keen." A sound of coquettish laughter rang, and she clapped her hands gently. The four witches in white robes appeared as if out of nowhere, suddenly emerged from the empty corridor, sealed. Way. Between the two witches in front, the air oscillated slightly, and a gorgeous and witch-like witch came out slowly.

This is a beautiful and mysterious woman. She has an impressive pair of lake blue eyes, and the diamond crystal on her forehead flashes a strange light.

She is also a witch.

"Mérieta, the eldest daughter of Esis, the faint Kou Hua believer, inherited the witch in the month of the month of lies," said the witch with a slight smile, which made all things lose its color. Witch, come here to borrow Lord Earl's item.

"Lord Lord—!"

Brando reached out and stopped Flo, who was about to make a move. He motioned for her and Roman to step back. He looked up and faced the five witches. "I heard that of the twelve inherited witches of this generation, except the Witch King, the strongest It is the believer of Gimhae, the witch of despair, followed by the deceitful witch at the head of December, Ms. Merietra, presumably this one. "

"It is indeed a human who professes to be the heir to the Dark Dragon and knows us quite well." Merrietra smiled and applauded.

"Suddenly?" Brando shook his head. "I've never claimed to be a dark dragon. I've seen Odin, but that doesn't mean I agree with him."

"Have you seen my King?" Meliertra raised a slight brow and immediately responded: "Yes, after all, there is a legacy of my King in your body, but it doesn't matter if you like or disapprove of my King's path , The Most High does not need mortal approval. "

"So you're playing tricks behind your back?"

"Oh," Merrietra laughed. "It was An Wei who shot. The Witch of the Cup Moon was good at changing people's hearts. Besides, the nobles were born with ghosts, and my strength came from integrity and wisdom. These trivial matters are only a trifle after all, but the order and destiny of this world cannot be changed. Do you understand, Lord? "

"That being said, that's the companion."

Merrietra frowned slightly, and her voice chilled: "Did you know the situation, Lord, you have only just begun to enter the realm of elements. In my field, no one can save you. She turned her eyes, and fell on Roman and Fro, and smiled happily: "Your hopes will not be those outside, oh, you can rest assured, in this fascinating dream I woven for you During this time, I will not alarm anyone, I will let you die quietly. "

"So that's how I understand it--"

Brando pulled out the sword of the earth, handed his left hand to his right hand, pointed down, and touched the ground lightly. He fought with his sword in one hand and grinned, "My head is here, so you can try."
