Amber Sword
Chapter 70 - 70 Act 28 Safe Haven

70: Act 28 Safe Haven 70: Act 28 Safe Haven “Wind Queen Half Armor!?”

Brand opened the heavy backpack and took a look.

He saw the complete set of copper-colored armor lying inside and couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

No wonder, no wonder that adult Withered Beast could only restrain Frey earlier, it was because of the protection of this thing.

“Why don’t you put it on?”

“That armor glows, I’m afraid Madara’s undead might see it.

I plan to wait until daytime, when the light is brighter…”

“Light?”

“The layer of green light surrounding the armor leaves.”

“That’s Wind Feather, not light.” Brand saw Frey’s puzzled look and couldn’t help but sigh.

This was the most basic knowledge in the game, but he hadn’t expected Frey to be completely unaware.

He had to pick up the armor and explain it to her piece by piece.

Wind Queen Half Armor is a creation of the Saint Orso Master, just like his Wind Queen’s Ring, it bears the Wind Queen’s Holy Mark.

However, there are many different types of Wind Queen’s Holy Marks.

For instance, the Wind Queen’s Ring is a token of trust from Durut, and the Holy Mark on it is Saint Orso’s national emblem.

But the one Brand had was just a replica, so it was of very low quality—probably from the clumsy handiwork of some human wizard.

Of course, clumsy or not, a 20Oz magic equipment was not something Brand’s grandfather should have owned.

The mystery of this didn’t provide any help from his memory, so he had to set it aside for now.

However, thinking in game terms, this might be a hidden quest line, but he needed to meet that Limp Man of Black Pepper Alley to find some clues.

On the other hand, the genuine Wind Queen’s Holy Mark from Saint Orso must be crafted by the elves.

Wind Queen Half Armor is military equipment of the Elf Guard, naturally pure-blooded; yet every year since the Year of Radiant Return, a few hundred sets would flow into other countries, so it wasn’t particularly rare.

According to Brand, in the game it’s just a 15Oz power level equipment.

And Wind Feather is the Wind Queen’s Holy Mark attached to the Wind Queen Half Armor, it’s actually a spell that reduces the force passing through it.

In other words, it reduces damage, and in the consistent style of the elves, this spell is particularly sensitive to plants, so it’s normal for the Withered Beast to be heavily restrained.

What Frey didn’t know was that Wind Feather is called a buff status in the game, and its glow is only visible to enemies at the moment it takes effect.

Listening to Brand’s explanation, Frey’s face was full of embarrassment.

It was too embarrassing, like a country bumpkin who’s never seen the world.

She couldn’t help but lower her head more and more, finally muttering softly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier—”

Brand thought, how could I know, my lady.

Of course, he subconsciously regarded some things as common sense, and he realized this might cause some misunderstandings, but having immersed in ‘Amber Sword’ for so long, it was hard to adjust from the player’s mindset instantly.

Seeing Frey’s face flush red, tightly holding that backpack, he thought there was no need to ask to know why she refused to let go of the backpack at that time.

So even the future Valkyrie has a maiden’s sentiment.

Although he didn’t point it out directly, the feeling of being trusted was quite nice.

Brand’s heart inevitably softened, and the words of reproach naturally couldn’t come out anymore—

“Items are dead, people are alive.

No matter how valuable this thing is, you must ensure your own safety first if you encounter such a situation next time, understood?” he said.

“I’m sorry.”

“What about the third squad?”

“I entrusted the captainship to Little Phinis.”

“Little Phinis?”

“Yes, Uncle Madden told me once that this kid could be the one with the most potential to make it out of Buqi.

I used to take good care of him, hoping one day he could bring honor to our village, but I think maybe you’re right, a man doesn’t grow without tempering.”

“You’ve figured it out, did Essen agree?” Brand sighed.

Frey finally stepped out of her own world.

He had thought this girl was still clinging to her innocence and naivety, but seeing that steady and bright gaze, he realized she had instead grown.

“Essen and I have the same thought.”

Brand nodded.

Having resolved the internal issues of the team, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it wasn’t a big problem.

Although Frey was stubborn and thin-skinned, she was a reliable companion at crucial moments.

Especially her act of not abandoning the backpack at the critical moment, while it made Brand angry, it also felt heartwarming—at least this friendship was heavy and sincere.
