Although Brand remained skeptical about what the Limp Man said, it at least indicated that, even if this thing had something to do with Wind Sage Saint Ausor, it had nothing to do with Tu Men.
The next suspect was the mysterious stone shard obtained from the corpse of Bog Nesson. Brand always suspected that the background of this minor noble wasn't simple. How did Antitina, as a noble daughter, coincidentally learn the design and production of Magic Devices? This wasn't an ordinary thing in Erune.
Moreover, Brand believed that if he could perceive this, others could too. Viscount Test must have also understood this.
He now began to doubt the Viscount's motives were not pure.
And now it seemed, this stone shard was the most suspicious. But then he shook his head and remembered another matter. Before entering this world, he had touched another unknown item — the Elemental Revelation Scroll. Brand recalled the situation clearly; he distinctly remembered the imprint of the Crystal Forest and the unique numbering of the Elves on the Elemental Revelation Scroll.
This meant that the scroll itself was not problematic.
But he had already realized the trigger for activating this Spell: opening the Elemental Pool.
But what was the connection? Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI~Fire.net
He immediately thought of the Destiny Cards. Yes, he had always considered these mysterious cards as Skills rather than items, which is why he hadn't thought of them initially. But looking back now, Brand found these cards increasingly suspicious.
Firstly, these cards had never appeared in 'Amber Sword.'
Perhaps Brand hadn't heard of certain Magic Items in the game, which wasn't suspicious. But if a series of Magic Items had never appeared in the view of a veteran player, it was quite dubious. Imagine this: if someone hadn't heard of a Mage's Profession Equipment in the game, and assuming the world was vast, it wouldn't be so surprising. But if he had never heard of the concept of 'Mage's Profession Equipment,' it seemed rather odd.
You might say that he must be a newbie.
But Brand was not a newbie.
Moreover, these cards were not insignificant or trivial. The immense freedom they offered could even allow a warrior to freely wield magic. One could say that they themselves constituted a complete profession system.
Such a set of Magic Items, it was impossible for Brand to have never heard any rumors about them.
Furthermore, these items didn't appear in some distant land, like in Madara where Brand might have fewer opportunities to know about them. But on the contrary, the places where these cards appeared were areas Brand was most familiar with.
Jirande's Tomb, Golden Magic Tree Valley, Ridenburg, Brags.
These were regions Brand had explored countless times and knew every corner and detail by heart. He could even describe every famous player's rumors and actions in the first three years of the game, he loved this world so much that he empathized with everything in Erune.
But the issue now was, he indeed had never heard of these cards. He even doubted how he had so easily overlooked these suspicions initially — of course, he hadn't realized that when he first encountered these cards, he was in a situation where even survival was not guaranteed. In such an environment, anyone would be overjoyed to receive some assistance — rather than be suspicious. This was human nature.
However, once he reacted to it, the suspicions deepened instead.
He couldn't help but touch his chest, instinctively recalling the concept that flashed through his mind earlier: 'They themselves constitute a complete profession system.' Brand was shocked, instinctively raised his head, and asked in disbelief, "Did you say Travel Mage is...?"
Tu Men smiled, "You're quite right; there is indeed an inseparable connection between the Destiny Cards and the Travel Mage."
Brand immediately fell silent because he knew that Tu Men, from this youthful era, would tell him everything.
