Amber Sword
Chapter 80 - 80 Scene 33 Before the Attack

80: Scene 33: Before the Attack 80: Scene 33: Before the Attack Brand glanced at the steep, knife-cut mountain wall in the distance, and then turned back to let Romantic wear the Spiderweb Ring.

He found that the Merchant Lady’s Perception was unexpectedly sharp, and this ring could further enhance her ability.

Romantic had been coveting this beautiful black and white ring for a long time and was naturally very happy at the moment.

However, she still curiously asked, “Is this also a Magic Ring, Brand?”

“Yes, it can help you hear better.

Pay attention to the ground, and if there’s any movement, alert Frey.

I’ll be back soon.” Brand knew that apart from the Golden Magic Tree, there was also a Stone Cone Worm in this valley.

That thing also came from the Earth Element Plane and was a rare Elite in the game.

Once, it suddenly appeared and almost caught him off guard.

“Are there other enemies?” the two girls asked simultaneously.

“Maybe, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared, does it?” Brand didn’t want to act like a Prophet, mainly because it would be hard to explain later, so he replied vaguely.

Frey, however, nodded understandingly, gripping the sheathed Longsword in front of Romantic and said, “I will protect Romantic well, please hurry back.”

“Huh?” Brand looked at her in surprise.

When did this girl become so cooperative?

It made him a bit at a loss, but it didn’t seem like there were any ulterior motives.

He hesitated for a moment, put down his backpack, pulled out a coil of rope and a hook, gave the two girls another look, and then cautiously climbed out.

“Frey, will Brand be okay going out alone?” Romantic asked softly.

“Brand has his own plans, we can’t help much, we just have to make sure he doesn’t worry about us here.”

“Frey?”

Frey flicked her long ponytail and her bright eyes showed a serious expression.

She wasn’t giving up, but realized that her Strength could only do so much.

This future Valkyrie thought seriously that her Strength might not be enough and to become the leader, she must be more strict with herself.

She took a deep breath, gripping the Sword near her chest, and made up her mind.

On the other side, Brand was climbing along the steep mountain wall with the rope on his back.

He was still several dozen meters away from the fissure in the rock wall that he remembered.

He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and look behind him.

Fortunately, the Golden Magic Tree and its Demon Servants and offspring relied on sound and Magic Power fluctuations to detect targets rather than sight, otherwise, he would be very exposed here.

He grabbed a protruding piece of rock, and the gravel fell through the gaps in the stones with a rustle.

But this little noise was nothing.

He just worried about making a big noise, so he moved as lightly as possible.

Less than thirty meters left, almost there.

There had been no Soul Crystals dropped along the way, but Brand knew he had one last chance.

In the fissure ahead, there was a treasure—no, calling it a treasure might not be quite right.

Although players would call any hidden place providing items or resource rewards a treasure, he knew that the items there were actually relics.

According to the game’s storyline, about ten years ago, a young nobleman named Bog Neson who loved adventure came to this canyon.

He and his companions got separated under the Magic Tree People’s attack.

He escaped alone and hid here but eventually died from his injuries.

He left behind his belongings and token, with which one could go to Brags to complete a quest.

Although the reward was meager, for Brand at that time, it was better than nothing.

However, the belongings left by that little nobleman were interesting because they were random.

With good luck, one could get anything.

The best item that Brand once got was a raw piece of Amber.

Of course, he didn’t expect that this time; as long as he could get a Soul Crystal, it would be great, because he remembered that the odds of getting Soul Crystals here were quite high.

He quickly climbed into the fissure.

This rock crevice was actually very shallow, but it was hard to spot from the outside.

As soon as he got inside, he saw the bone skeleton of the unlucky nobleman lying crookedly to one side.

What surprised him was that every detail was just like in the game, almost making him feel as if he were still in that past World.

But Brand quickly calmed down.

He carefully bypassed the skeleton, his gaze falling on a small pouch nearby.

However, he paused for a moment because he saw a piece of parchment covered with dust and dried out with age lightly resting on the bag.
