The Amber Sword

Act 40: The Nexus

The girl's answer made not only Brando stupid, but even Bartom and his sister looked up at her.

Antitina stared at the young man and replied, "Sir, you can rest assured, whether it is out of fulfilling my father's promise or my personal thanks, I will fulfill this request."

Brando was taken aback. He couldn't help looking at the aristocracy, answering as if he wanted to tell whether the other person was proud or stubborn. However, he read the mixed information from his firm, clean face, and even some confidence. Where does her confidence come from? Brando was at a loss for a moment.

The development of this matter is somewhat out of his expected direction.

"How are you going to do it, little girl?" Bartom asked later, and he looked at Antitina up and down, and couldn't help answering with the usual vulgar and mocking tone of their mercenaries: "Although it looks like It's a pretty little girl, but our adults already have fiancees, little girls. "

Antinina, as a nobleman, was in a daze at the moment, but she had been so embarrassed that she had heard such vulgar words. She was pale and reddish because of her anger, but disdain for peace A vulgar guard could only look at Brando-his eyes were filled with disappointment. Then she turned around, turned to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a scroll from it-hesitated, but eventually came over to Brando: "I believe it will not be less valuable than you expected Come on, sir. "

She thought for a moment and replied so simply.

"What is this?" Brando asked.

"My work." Antitina was a little hesitant to say this, but immediately became confident again.

The sister-in-law snorted aside. Bartom looked at the guy and couldn't help stunning him. He whispered, "How much money do you think this little girl should owe us?" The sister-in-law stunned and couldn't help looking up at the guy- Although Bartom's long hood obscured his appearance, the short **** 'Lorne' could still see the bearded face of the other side. "Don't you know?" He asked back.

"Of course." Battom whispered, "Why should I know."

"I thought you knew," the sister-in-law gave him a glance, and then immediately calculated for him one by one: "Nobles like Borg, even if downcast, can leave at least a thousand or two thousand Thor annuities. .In terms of conversion, there are also close to 100,000 Tor. This money is not much, not too much, old man. "

"That is indeed a lot of money." Bartom nodded. "You mean the scroll in the adult's hand is worth 100,000?"

"I haven't said that, but if the paintings of famous artists are possible, it is not surprising that some masters' works are worth millions. Just-that little girl already said, that's her work. Tell you Honestly, I don't think any of her works are worth the price, otherwise this little girl will still live in such a place? "

"You look down on people."

"It's just reasonable speculation, sir."

Antitina couldn't help but clenched her fists when she heard the conversation between the two of them.

Brando held the scroll in one hand and did not stop the conversation between Bitch and Bartom. He wondered for a moment, what exactly was the scroll: the magic recorded on the long parchment? Or transcribed ancient documents? Or, as the sister-in-law said, a painting by Antitina? He had encountered many of these scrolls in the last life, some were worthless, some were worthless, so he stared at the roll of parchment paper that was browned on the surface-it should be a thick stack of paper The quality is not good, but in the hands it has a more heavy feeling-he was also not sure for a while, what exactly Antitina's confidence came from.

"Can I open it for a look?" He asked.

"It's yours."

Brando then nodded and carefully opened the scroll. What caught him was a complex line drawing. A large number of lines constituted a mechanical pattern. The mysterious pattern and the magic circle filled the drawings. Each blank space was made a series of notes with Juan Xiu's handwriting. . Brando felt a whirlwind after just glancing at it, and it didn't seem to be a surprise-but suddenly realized, as it was-he immediately closed the scroll with a heartbeat.

This is the design drawing of the most primitive magic transmission device.

The drawings are quite rough and can be said to be inferior to most mature products of this era. It can be seen from the drawings that its designers can almost say that they don't have much talent in this area, and even that they are clumsy. It is exactly this, this is a clumsy work.

But Brando's heart was clear now.

It turns out that--

How did the "Origin" of one of the top ten player forces in the "Amber Sword" from the production and design of the magic transmission device monopolized by the royal empires at that time, and opened the The prelude to the 'independent' era of players?

It turned out to be here.

Brando had no idea that he would encounter such a thing before he came here. He never connected this fragile girl with the top ten puzzles of the last 'Amber Sword', which looked like For two completely unrelated things, he didn't even consider a little possibility in that direction. To describe his mood at this moment, it should be without warning and caught off guard.

It turned out that the head of the ‘staff’ of ‘Origin’ had never infiltrated any empire at all, and he had completed this hidden task line at the beginning.

Brando used almost all his willpower to keep his face unchanged. The drawing in his hand can be said to have epoch-making significance-

There are three forces in this world.

The first kind of force is called the element, or the higher-level being force. Fire, wind, water, earth, truth and law, time and space, and even matter itself are all beings. Those who can master this power are called warriors, elemental enemies, wizards, and all powerful ones. Different forces have different traits in them, but they have a common measure, which is 'oauth'-energy level.

The power of the element is hidden in different people, until the power he has bred exceeds 500 energy levels (oz). In the description of the Temple of Fire, the person calls it the element of enlightenment. Since then, these talents will be titled Templars.

This will be a long and even unreachable process, because in Voend, most people have only 0.3 energy levels (oz) in their body when they are born, and they cannot reach such a height even after spending their entire lives. But God always cares for some people. There are no shortage of such people in this world. They are born with such qualifications, so they are called natural candidates.

The second kind of power is the power of non-human beings, which is called 'the power of God' and also the power of faith.

The gods of Warnde have long been divided into two deities of Hilma and Ainka. Hilma is secular and Ainka is proud, but the gods have the rule of the sun, moon, stars and everything on the earth, so they are called It is God. Their existence relies on this world, or the projection of the rules on the sky. They do not need people to worship, but small mortals have faith in these powerful beings because of their fear. God also responded to theirs. People.

This response is 'the power of the gods'. The power held by the priests—the source of power is God ’s willingness to transform this world, and it is the care of his children in a supreme existence.

It is for this reason that there are many denominations on the earth day and night. The dispute between them comes from the world's misinterpretation of God's will, or the perplexity of the Gods themselves in transforming the world.

As for the third power, it is the power of wisdom and the power of mortals to transform the world.

Brando's magical transmission device is also called 'Magic Hub', it is the source of all magical power in this world. Transform the energy in the magic / elemental crystals non-artificially (mechanically) to power small to magical muskets, as large as battleships, and even floating cities-it originated from the ideas of cloth craftsmen and wizards, and soon Secretly held by the royal families of the major empires.

This new, mortal-created power quickly changed the landscape of the world. Beginning with the rapid development of productive forces, the resulting huge changes, as well as the ensuing forces and resource conflicts, as well as the decades of jihad and November war, have made the world turbulent for the past 100 years. stand up.

And Brando now holds the source of this turbulence-

Even further, the significance of this drawing is that although it is not technically ahead of most of the same type of magic hub in this era, it can even be said that it is greatly behind, and the conversion efficiency is at least 30 years behind— -But it changed the essence of the "Monster" secret monopolized by a few people.

In the 'Amber Sword', this magic hub named 'Stars' designed by Antitina was first made in the player's territory after twenty years, and it was later that the player rose logo under npc.

At this moment, the sign was in his palm.

He couldn't help taking a deep breath and asked, "Did you design?"

Antinina had a few nagging faces on her face, but she was surprised when she heard such a question.

"You, can you understand?" She could not help asking.

All her knowledge comes from writing, although for a long time all her interests and energy have been invested in the design of magic guides-although her past mentor also told her that her talent is not in this. Going down this path, I'm afraid her achievements are bound to be limited. But Antitina still devoted all her money and energy to this path, especially after the death of her parents, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it-she sold her family property and even almost fell in love with a fancy businessman Now, if it wasn't for her protection as an aristocracy, I am afraid she is now a plaything for others.

But Antitina didn't give up.

In particular, she insisted that she might have found a way to the 'Magic Hub'. She designed many drawings, which is just one of the ideas. It has a fatal flaw, that is, it consumes so much that it even makes the finished product look a bit unrealistic. But the little girl still stubbornly thought that her design was worth the price.

But she was ready to be ridiculed by Brando and gathered courage, but it was such an answer.

Can he understand?

"It's rough, but at least it's a finished product," Brando replied.

"No, sir, you don't understand," the girl coughed, and replied, "This design is actually a semi-finished product, and its input and output are simply disproportionate--"

"What? You dare to use a semi-finished product to pay off the debt!" The sister-in-law jumped up immediately after listening.

But Brando motioned for Bartom to stop the guy, and then looked at Antitina and replied: "It doesn't matter, in my opinion this sale is a good deal. You fulfilled your words, Miss Antitina- You did pay enough, or even more. "

He didn't lie, it was more. This is more of a windfall than Borg's treasure.

The girl couldn't help staring--
