Amber Sword-Chapter 877 - 170: Destiny Talent (2)

"Why don't we start by asking why you're here, little guy?" the person's voice said, leaving no room for doubt.

"Me?" Brand was taken aback for a moment, "I'm sorry, I have no idea. After offending a woman and then taking down a priest, I ended up here somehow."

He answered with a touch of self-mockery.

"Well, that's interesting," the person across from him said.

"Hmm?"

"Little guy, do you think just anyone can come here?" the person pressed a fist to his chin, seemingly casually staring at Brand as he answered, "Let me guess, are you of the Golden lineage?"

Brand's heart skipped a beat. Although unsure of how he ended up in this place, he was already certain it was definitely a mission. He thought for a moment and answered without hesitation, "Sorry, not even of the Silver Clan."

"So, just a piece of trash?" the person responded.

Brand was taken aback, baring his teeth—not out of frustration but because it was too familiar. In the past, he had heard this phrase countless times while playing the game.

In Amber Sword, only the truly powerful NPCs would refer to the humans of this era as the Black Iron People. For all players, they were almost all considered of the Black Iron clan.

"Anyway," the person waved a hand dismissively, "I'll ask you, before coming here, did you ever come into contact with a Sealing Rune?"

"Sealing Rune?" Brand suddenly realized—that's not one of the Four Saints' holy relics, is it? He suddenly thought of a possibility, staring wide-eyed at the person across from him.

Could this guy be the Heroic Spirit of Fanzan?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Since both the Wind Queen and the King of Flames left ways to pass down their legacies, it was impossible for the Great Priest not to do the same.

"You are..." Brand stammered a bit as he asked, thinking his luck couldn't be this good, accidentally stumbling upon another of the Four Saints' legacies.

In fact, at this point Brand already remembered Anman's gemstone. If he had any chance of encountering a mysterious magic item before, it must have been that gemstone.

A light suddenly flashed in Brand's mind—he recalled that Otarais also mentioned the gemstone looked familiar.

If it's from the same era, then wouldn't it be familiar?

However, what left Brand puzzled was the recollection of having seen Fanzan's holy relic 'Sealing Rune' once, and that was on a background introduction from some event on the official Amber Sword website. He remembered that holy relic as a staff, so how did it suddenly become a gemstone?

The only possibility he could think of was that, like Gilte's Flame Scepter and the Wind Queen's Ring of Saint Ausor, the Sealing Rune was also split into several parts.

And that gemstone happened to be a part of the Sealing Rune.

While he was lost in wild thoughts, the person on the other side of the hall let out a cold snort, interrupting his train of thought. "Who I am is not important," the voice answered coldly, "but you should have realized the reason you came here—"

"Lord," Brand's tone became a bit more respectful, "do you mean that gemstone?"

"That's not a gemstone; it's a Destiny Seed."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing the name, Brand almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Are you kidding me, aren't Destiny Seeds essential for awakening Destiny Talents?

In fact, Destiny Seed is a general term. The Golden Apple is also a Destiny Seed, as is the Poem of the Goddess, each corresponding to different Destiny Talents. The Golden Apple corresponds to Fairy's Whisper, the Poem of the Goddess corresponds to Martha's Son, and each Destiny Seed corresponds to a unique Destiny Talent.

But what Brand didn't expect was that after just handing over one of the top seeds, the Golden Apple, to Qian, he immediately got another Destiny Seed.

He couldn't help but touch his face—when did his luck get so good? He couldn't help but glance at Fanzan, wondering what Destiny Seed it could be. Could it be the Twinborn Contract?

But wait!

He remembered that during his lifetime, Fanzan happened to be a follower of the Twin Goddess, and the Twinborn Contract Destiny Talent also happened to be from that era—a bonus reward from the Great Guardian's Staff of Fanzan.

Thinking of this, Brand's eyes immediately lit up as he asked, "The Destiny Seed, what kind of destiny?"

"Oh?" The person across the hall was slightly taken aback, "You actually know about Destiny Seeds."

"Very well," he nodded, "you saved me a lot of explaining—the Grey Gemstone carries my destiny. Whoever accepts this destiny must also accept the ancient legacy."

"Ancient legacy?" Brand was slightly taken aback—it shouldn't be a destiny legacy, should it? The Twin Goddess is one of Vorn's Destiny Twins and controls the direction of fate.

Feeling something was off, he asked, "Then what is the name of this legacy?"

By asking this, Brand was actually inquiring about the name of the Destiny Talent.

The other end of the hall fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"'Fool'."

Fool?

Brand froze for a moment, feeling as if he'd been punched in the face—what was that? The types of Destiny Talents are not many, and truly excellent ones are even rarer, but he had never heard of something called 'Fool.'

And just by the name, it sounded pathetic!

This damned talent better not be something that lowers one's intelligence by a third or something, Brand couldn't help but complain in his mind. He grinned and immediately, instinctively, responded in the manner of a game:

"Um, can I refuse to activate this talent?"

But Brand didn't expect after saying this, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Then that person let out a cold laugh, "Give up?"

He looked at Brand and shook his head slightly, "Little guy, do you understand your situation?"

"Situation?"

"What situation?" he responded.
