The Amber Sword Vol 3 Chapter 191

Chapter 191

Chapter 191 – The final moment (7)

Professions like Magic Swordsman and Rune Knight were indeed capable of identifying items . Rune Knights were able to use magic, but their true skillset was to analyze magic and fight wizards . They were greatly specialized in anti-magic and well-versed in dealing with Chants .

The words to form a Chant were typically fixed . The only ones who were exceptions to this rule were powerful wizards who could bend the rules . Witches who resided in rivers of concentrated Mana, believed there were thirty-six thousand words in this world that had mysterious power in them .

These words made up the rules of all Laws, Runes and Holy Words . and they were frequently used to activate magical artifacts . The most common words to activate old artifacts were the following .

Eaam was earth, Oss was wind, Vo was water, and Flamme was fire .

But they were not going to work for the cloak .
The magic artifacts created from the Golden and Silver Lineage were indeed old, but the earliest magic artifacts were taken from the Elemental Planes .

Faena sensed the cloak had a powerful Earth Element leaking out from it . She first tried the words that were from the races of the great earth, the Poem of Titans .

There were twelve hundred words in it . Trying them out one by one was nearly impossible, but she was experienced enough to choose the suitable words for activating a magic artifact . It was narrow enough to test them out .

After several tries, she moved on to the tale of ‘Yara’s teeth’, which represented the Shadow Element and the Vibration Rune . Her eyebrows were lifted slightly up and looked up with an air of triumph as she passed the cloak back to Brendel .

Her sky-blue eyes were full of pride and her pursed lips were slightly curved upwards . Brendel eyed her for a second as he took over the cloak .

Once a magical artifact’s known usage and activation word was discovered, the game recognized it as ‘identified’ .

Green words immediately flashed in his retina:

– King Bruni’s invisibility cloak .
– Magic Resistance: 30%
– Activated ability: Enters a Shrouded state for a hundred and twenty breaths . The user would be as if they have disappeared from this world .
– Activation keyword: Far

[Oh, it’s identified . Wait, the description for this……!]

The corners of Brendel’s eyes twitched . The game explained that the world was comprised of seven layers . There were four Element Planes, two Energy Planes, and a Physical Plane . One’s existence was anchored to one of these seven Planes .

An invisibility spell utilized the Air or Water Element to distort light and deceive the eyes, but it was just a type of an illusion, and the caster could still be seen, heard, and even be touched .

A Shrouded state was significantly stronger . The most common use for this state was to pass through walls . Under it, there were no ‘walls’ in this world .

[A hundred and twenty breaths . That’s about five minutes, but it’s just the right amount of time to escape . This cloak is a god-tier item for those who need it . A 30% magic resistance is definitely a mythological treasure . It definitely doesn’t bring shame to the King of Titans and is a fitting collection for his vault . ]

Brendel unfurled the cloak to its fullest and covered both Faena and Sifrid .

“Far!” He said .

The cloak became invisible in an instant . The feeling that came from it was incredibly intriguing . It felt like there was a layer of shimmering water all around them .

Sifrid’s eyes went wide and looked around her surroundings, before she turned to the youth with a revered expression . Brendel was always capable of doing something miraculous or unexpected things .

He also took a while to get used to the Shrouded state . There were a few famous solo players who had this equipment, but he had never seen one in action before .

“……Why do you know the activation keyword, I haven’t told you yet!” But Faena was completely shocked and stared at Brendel .

The youth also stared back vacantly .

Then he realized he made a serious mistake . Gamers could directly see the activation keywords once the artifact was identified, but he forgot he was not in a game .

An NPC would have to prove that they had the bloodline of a Star Seer who could see the future . But if they were a practitioner of Black or Blood magic, it was highly probable they would be burned on a stake .

Brendel stiffened and was a loss of what to say . It did not make sense for him to say that he had the abilities to identify an equipment, since he had brought the two girls to a point where they were close to their enemies . Why did he have to wait before Faena volunteered to identify it?

[Shit . I can’t say I don’t know about it, it doesn’t make sense . How do I know how to activate it?]

“Erm……” Brendel coughed once and his mind spun quickly: “Well…… You were muttering words from the Poem of Titans! There’s a section within the Poem of Titans that are related to the Shadow Element, and it’s either Yara’s Teeth or the Rune Words related to the Vibration— In any case, I tried one of them……”

“And you got it on the first try!?” Faena’s jaws dropped . She was supposed to the expert here, but this person had managed to solve it before her with a simple guess . Her confidence was greatly shaken and her eyes trembled .

“No, no,” Brendel hurriedly shook his head and said . Faena was actually being useful for once and did well, and he did not want to break her confidence and become more of a baggage than before: “You were the one who confirmed the scope . I can’t sense the particular brand of magic Element that’s exuding from the cloak…… I’m just slightly better in the knowledge of myths and legends . ”

“…… Really?”

“Of course . I’m an Elementalist and even I’m unable to discern that the cloak is giving off the Earth Element . ”

“What kind of Elementalist are you when your swordsmanship skills reach the level of a Gold-ranker?” Faena could not help but snicker with a disbelieving look: “The famous Grandmaster Makaine said this, human lifespans are severely limited, and if we don’t put our fullest focus into a single thing, it’s unlikely that we will be good at it—”

“Really? Did you forget that I beat you by using magic in the Green Tower? I took the Rock Key away from you . ”

“You’re such a rude lout! How reprehensible are you to snatch something away from a lady!” Faena was angry that she made a tiny squeak of noise even though she knew where she was: “…… I thought you were a fake noble at that time, hmph, but it seems like you’re a real one . Still, the nobles from Aouine are indeed a rude bunch . ”

Brendel grabbed the cloak’s fabric with his hands and rubbed against them to remove his sweat . He was really a faker .

[Yes, it’s rude to fight something over with a girl, but honestly, you needed to be taught a lesson . You were the one who started it first by stealing my bargained item . And the Rock Key is something that I needed to . ]

“Well, it’s an event that’s in the past, and I don’t want to discuss who’s at fault right now . ”

Brendel was in a great mood . He led the girls out leisurely while he tracked Andesha and the robed figure’s movements .

Andesha was still staring out at the forest on top of the building . She did glance at the courtyard several times but did not see the trio walking across it .

On the other side of the courtyard, Brendel found that there was a man’s figure wearing red robes standing there . The latter did not detect their presence as well .

[This man’s figure seems a little familiar . ]

Brendel felt a prod on his arm and found Faena mouthing words: “Hey, that person looks familiar . ”

He was surprised .

There were many Tree Shepherds that he came across in the game, and it was reasonable to feel some of them appear familiar, but for an aristocrat to know a member from an evil cult?

“Ah . Isn’t that Bishop Amman? My father and I had seen him many times when he was the regional priest in our territory . He and my father got along with each very well . But why is he here?”

“Amman?”

Brendel nearly spat out the word ‘impossible’ .

[Didn’t he die hours ago from the fake Lernaia Hydra’s fangs? One of them went through his heart . And the only people who can survive that are people from the Golden Lineage . Even an angel cannot revive him . ]

But Faena cast a veil of doubt on him . The more Brendel stared at the figure, the more he looked like Amman . He felt that was something wrong but did not think up wild theories just yet .

“That’s really Amman? You’re certain of it?” Brendel could not help but ask .

But Faena cast a veil of doubt on him . The more Brendel stared at the figure, the more he looked like Amman . He felt that was something wrong but did not think up wild theories just yet .

“That’s really Amman? You’re certain of it?” Brendel could not help but ask .

“Why are you acting so strange? How can I be sure of it? He’s so far away and his figure is all unclear, not to mention his face is under his hood . I only feel that he appears to be Amman, and it’s just a passing remark . Why are you acting so serious?”

Faena grumbled but added another remark:

“But if he’s really Amman, then it’s truly shocking news . Think about it, a Bishop from the Cathedral of Flames and a member of the Tree Shepherds working together!”

She even licked her lips, as though she found a piece of juicy gossip .

But Brendel’s facial muscles only tightened further .

[If this is really him, then it’s not as simple as a juicy gossip to be discussed over tea . There’s no legitimate way to come back from the dead . But evil spells relating to necromancy…… I would have never associated Amman with that . Yet, to work with Andesha…… Which means he’s a spy? Amman is a Tree Shepherd?]

All sorts of information were popping up in his mind . This piece of information was just too stunning . Even the game did not leak out any information about him, and he thought that no secrets from an NPC would be kept hidden from the gamers .

While he kept thinking of wild theories, a loud voice suddenly called out and echoed in the forest:

“Who’s over there? Stop hiding and come out!”

Brendel’s arms jolted . The sudden voice was a little hoarse, and it was so chilling that he felt like his bones were cold .

Indeed, it belonged to Andesha .

But how was it possible for her to detect them?

Brendel’s eyes subconsciously looked to Faena and found her staring back at him in terror . Both of their faces were pale .
