Vol 5 Chapter 136

Charles stepped up the stairs of the lighthouse and looked up to see Brando and three ladies chatting by the railing on the sea side of the lighthouse. Miss Roman was snickering, and Faina covered her eyes. The layer was gloomy and seemed to be a little bit heavy. Nimesis wore a suit, leaning back against the railing to look at the scenery on the sea. Her long black hair lightened with the sea breeze, and the sea and sky were in the distance. The clouds seemed to rise and fall like white mountains. .

For the taciturn and meticulous personality of the female knight, others have already seen it, but they haven't seen the shadow of the little princess Shifahe who likes to make fun, it seems that she dragged the elf to the port for shopping. The two young ladies now It has become a close friend who talks about everything, of course, they actually do have the same topic and hobby-that is, the ability to cause trouble.

"Lord Lord."

As soon as Brando struck the black knight trench coat, the sword of the earth hung obliquely around his waist. The black rhino-skin inlaid scabbard almost pointed to the ground. He turned around and noticed that his wizard attendant had arrived. He smiled and started. Road: "Just here, what do you think of the scenery here?"

Charles shuddered slightly: "Lord Lord seems to like the scenery here?"

Brando smiled and shook his head, stretched out his gloves and patted the lighthouse's ancient and mottled outer wall: "Do you know the origin of this lighthouse?"

Shire subconsciously looked up at the lighthouse. This ancient lighthouse looks like it has been in the old age, but it looks like an old lighthouse that can be seen everywhere in the lofty inland sea. I don't know what else this lighthouse can have Moral.

"Fatham Port has a long history, but Lord Lord, I have never been here and I don't know what historical monuments there are," he replied.

"Haha," Brando Haha smiled, proudly reaching out to Miss Merchant beside him. The latter put out his tongue and reluctantly put a gold coin in his hand, lamenting and complaining, "Char, you are really useless."

"This lighthouse is the famous Tumen lighthouse," Brando pointed out in the direction of the port area. "Fattan was built in the glorious return year. The founder of the port is the famous Cruz scholar Fattan Freeman. , The latter is a descendant of Tumen, and is also the inheritor of the venerable Miner blood line in the mortal world. Unfortunately, this family eventually failed to escape the trial of time and eventually dissipated in the long river of history. This The lighthouse was built to commemorate them. Tumen is the passer of the fire of civilization, the wise man who gave the light of enlightenment to the people of the black iron in the dark. Unfortunately, few people can remember this history now. . "

He glanced softly towards the pier. He passed through this place when he left Eruin and went to Faenza in the last life. He remembered that there was a sign of the port of Fattan on the gate of the lighthouse. Ten years, but the emblem on the door remains. It's just a lot brand new; this feeling is very wonderful. The port hasn't changed much in the past two generations. He can even find out details about every few decades, and past memories are integrated into these details. Let the heart give birth to a strange emotion.

Charles watched with sorrow and watch his Lord Lord bet himself, but Brando's words also caused his curiosity, and he looked up at the lighthouse, this unremarkable lighthouse and other sublime inland seas. The lighthouse makes no difference-it stands between two headlands. Looking at the blue sea and blue sky outside the Port of Fattan for thousands of years, it seems like a lonely old man. After experiencing wind and rain, he watched the passage of time silently and wisely, leaving only mottled algae and white paint on his body.

History has formed a huge coincidence, and a cycle has been completed here, which has witnessed the decline of the last Miner blood, but now it is necessary to watch them return to the world.

"It turns out that this lighthouse has such a history."

"It's actually not the original one." Faina suddenly raised her eyelids and replied with a little pride: "The earliest Tumen lighthouse was destroyed in a fire of one or fourteen years, and then it was rebuilt again. The reconstructed lighthouse was damaged during the July war, and what you see is already being renovated for the second time. "

Brando glanced back at her. The worried light flashed in the dark brown eyes, although it said that after a night's rest, Faina looked much better today, and put on a dress and a long skirt to look glamorous again. The pride of Duke Mosaic's eldest daughter, but he knew in his heart that perhaps only by personal experience could he understand what this past month meant to her. Obviously, the shadow was not so easily wiped out of his heart.

In the ring of trade winds, the duke, who knows no sorrow on earth, can no longer be seen.

"Miss Faina--"

"You want to comfort me again," Fayina stared back at him with a sharp brow, "I don't want to fight with you, Country Guy, I'm not as fragile as you think."

"Also," she corrected seriously, "call me Fayina."

Brando stared at the young lady and frowned, thinking that there was no essential difference between the toughness of this costume and that of the Trade Ring, but it looked silly and cute.

Seeing this scene, Charles smiled secretly, but had not forgotten that he still had business, and quickly reported: "Master, the torture is almost over there."

"Oh?"

Brando frowned slightly before turning to realize what news his wizard attendant had brought. In fact, it was not difficult for him to pry open Rodney's mouth, but the key question was— — How much secret does this guy have of Her Majesty? "What did he say?" He asked.

Charles replied hurriedly: "Unsurprisingly, the main purpose of Rodney's trip was to Miss Fayina, and the Silver Queen hoped to pass the testimony of Miss Fayina and the Duke of Helix father and son. Persuading Miss Fayina's sister to submit to achieve the purpose of mastering the Grand Duke of Flowers and Leaves. "

"My sister, she's clever, and she won't be controlled by that vicious woman!" Faina chilled coldly, her fists clenching with trembling anger, Brando patted her thin shoulder gently, "Apart from that, how did the Miner around the Silver Queen come, and what was she going to do. Apart from the Miner, what secret powers did she have?"

"Uh," Sher shrugged. "These Rodneys don't know much, but Her Majesty seems to be particularly interested in Al Kashi. Her purpose of going east is not only to subject the military aristocrats in the north of the Empire. Another purpose is to open the way to the Al Kashgar. "

She still misses the last battlefield? Brando froze, but he immediately saw the duke around him a little bit, only to remember that there are two main roads from East Metz to the Alkash Mountains, one in Ludwig and one in flowers. Leaf collar.

"Why, what ... why is the Queen so interested?" Miss Merchant blinked dark brown eyes and asked curiously.

Regarding the question of the fiancee of the lord, Shire did not dare to neglect, and quickly answered: "There are many reasons. Maybe it is related to the secret on the battlefield of the last battle, or it may be because Her Majesty the Queen particularly likes that place, not to mention the Alkash Mountains The location is very strategic, in the central area connecting Faenza, Saint-Osor and Cruz, you can attack and retreat. "

"What about the miners who are rumored outside, I never believe they came back from the glacier as rumored."

"Lord Lord, I've asked it clearly. The Min'ers around the Silver Queen are mainly widow's widows. She mobilized the mountain people."

"Shanmin?"

"Exactly, it is a branch of the mountain people. The branch of Senia ..."

"Werewolf." Brando took a breath of air, and the mountain people lived in the mountains of Valachi, south of the flower collar, but in fact, it was a thing before the last era. For various reasons, the mountain people left their homes. Branches and leaves, like Akane, are mountain people born in Eruin. The mountain people themselves have an unclear relationship with the Miner people, which is why they have been generally discriminated in this world. Among the mountain people, there are still several blood lines from the people of the Miner people. The Seniyas are one of them. Today, the Seniyas have left their hometown like other mountain people. They settled in the south of Cape Bay, in an unknown branch of the Broken Sword Mountains, where they are the Queen of Silver. The sphere of influence, she really has the possibility to find these survivors of the last era.

"Lord Lord, and this, from the knights, I remember correctly ..."

Charles reached out, spread his palms, and laid a flaky rock flat in his palm, then he looked up and looked at Brando with a strange look.

Brando had narrowed his eyes.

This thing--

Lying flat in the palm of the young wizard's attendant was a gray, flat stone like a chisel, but there were no traces of artificial carving on the surface, as if the pieces were naturally peeled off from a huge rock. It's not the first time he has seen a fragment. This is the gray shard. The first time something like this was found was in the relics of Antitina's father; the second time was in the funerary of Triciman's grave; and the third time, It is the relic of the crystal elk before his death.

"Well, this is ..." Roman also opened a small mouth and gave a soft exclamation.

"This is the fourth one, right?"

"This is the fourth."

"What the **** is this, Lord Lord?"

"It's not quite clear, but ..." Brando frowned slightly. When there were more than three such gray fragments, he would put them together and they would resonate clearly, forming something similar to a map. This time, there should be a response too. He showed his intentions to the Char, who understood it and sent it forward gently. The stone fragment seemed to be pulled by some invisible force. It stood upright in the palm of his hand. It glowed a faint blue light. Slowly floated towards Brando.

Brando immediately felt restlessly restless in the other three pieces, although they were still in the dimension hole.

Then space resonated.

Nimesis, who was leaning on the railing, seemed to feel something. She turned her head and saw at a glance that the space between Brando and Shire was dimming slightly, as if collapsed inward under great traction. Can't help but hesitated slightly: "This is ...?"

"Master Lord!" Sher suddenly changed his face and shouted.

"this is……"

It was like a drop of water falling on the calm water surface, and at that moment, Brando felt the existence of the sea of ​​magic.

The sky suddenly darkened, and across the lofty inner sea, the sky was fading rapidly from west to east, and the clouds seemed to be driven by an invisible force and gathered in all directions. Lightning shuttled above the clouds, and the roar of thunder rolled from the sky. For a while, a new storm seemed to form over the Xinhai Sea, and the resonance of space became more and more obvious. Even the ground shook, and small stones and gravels danced with it. The snow-white wall of the lighthouse creaked and cracked a startling rift, and Faina screamed and supported the railing.

"It's getting dark, Brando!" Roman glanced at the sky with a terrified look, a huge vortex was forming over Fattan, and a horrible eye opened in the thick clouds.

After a cold sweat, he slipped, and Brando felt sweat-stained on his forehead. "Retract!" He growled.

Charles didn't want to, and grabbed the gray stone suspended in the air. Strange to say, the moment he grabbed the gray stone, all the scenes calmed down in a moment: the clouds no longer converged, the lightning disappeared, the thunder went away, and the tremor of space stopped instantly. The sun once again radiated many facets of luster in the sky, and the sea was no longer howling. What happened before seemed like a terrible illusion.

But the huge rift on the lighthouse proved that everything that happened a moment ago really existed.

It just came and left.

The direction of the dock was noisy. From time to time, shouts floated over there: Is there an earthquake? Is there an earthquake? But these voices soon drowned in crying.

Brando, Shire, Faina, Nimesis, and Roman, five people stood beside the lighthouse, keeping their previous movements motionless, like puppets, and everyone was frightened, after a while. Brando was the first to return to God, and asked a bit dryly: "Before ... what was that?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Lord Lord."

"You don't have to say it," Brando interrupted his wizard attendant dryly. "I feel it."

"That's ..." But Charlie was a little worried.

"It's the tide on the sea of ​​magic ..." Brando recalled the terrible sense of advent before and replied word by word: "No ..."

"It's dusk." The chilling voice of the horsewoman sounded in time, Brando stunned slightly. Looking back at her, the latter was also pale, but at least she remained calm. She hesitated before answering with certainty: "It is the dragon of the dusk, at least for a moment, I felt it came from this Peeping from outside the world. But it will never be a demon. I have a hunch in my heart that it is there-- "

Brando didn't say a word. In fact, he also felt the terrible sense of depression, even if he had never been in the game before.

"Is this thing calling it?" Shire carefully glanced at the gray stone in his palm, sweating, as if holding something terrible: "What the **** is this?"

"I think ... it shouldn't." Brando frowned, and he faintly recalled the feeling of being peeped before, and the huge power seemed to instantly penetrate the sea of ​​magic and Warnde. Barriers descend over the port of Fattan. However, this channel is not opened by the resonance of these gray fragments in their hands. It is not so much a call as--

A forcible advent.

...

On the outskirts of Nazaire-

A pair of gold-like eyes opened slowly in the darkness, and the owner of these eyes hidden under the branches suddenly rose from the bush and made a thumping sound. This was the third day after leaving the imperial capital. Sidney touched her chest subconsciously. This movement affected the wound, making her unable to bear a frown. The statue of the maiden in the Lion's Palace is no longer graceful and ordinary as usual. Calmly, her face was covered with dust mixed with blood, but fortunately, at least the thing was still hidden under the thick clothes, which gave her a little peace of mind.

She lifted her head subconsciously, looking suspiciously in the direction of the coastal area east of Mez.

Why does the sea of ​​magic suddenly become turbulent?

What resonates with this thing?

A hint of doubt came to her mind.
