"Squeak!"
There was a sound, and the door of the next room opened, and Brando, who still didn't know what was going on, poked his head out.
Seeing the black heavily armored soldiers entering Miss Anne's courtyard, he curled his lips, looked at Richard, and said with some schadenfreude: "Ha, these idiots will definitely be scolded to death if they wake up Miss Anne. "
After hearing this, Richard said noncommittally, "I can't say for sure."
"What?" Brando was confused, stretched his neck, and looked towards the courtyard where Annie was.
What happened next was completely beyond his expectation. He saw the heavily armored soldier walking straight to the door, knocking on the door, and walked in. He was not scolded or reprimanded.
After a while, the eldest lady Anne came out with the heavily armored soldiers. She was wearing yesterday's clothes and looked like she had not woken up. However, after rubbing her eyes, she showed an unusually serious expression.
Walking up to Brando and Richard, Annie ordered: "You two stay here first. Something happened at home and I need to rush over to discuss it."
"Miss, let's go, we're all waiting for you." The heavily armored soldier urged.
"Got it." Annie said, followed the heavily armored soldier and walked into the distance, turned a corner, and disappeared from the eyes of Richard and Brando.
At this time, Brando slowly came back to his senses. His eyes stayed for a moment on the extra guard soldiers nearby. He noticed that the situation was abnormal, frowned and looked at Richard and asked: "What's going on? I'm just like Miss Anne." I slept in and didn’t leave the house all morning, why is it like this? Could it be that the Soma Alliance is coming?"
For the current Pangbo family, maybe it would be better if the Soma Alliance really comes to fight... Richard thought in his mind, but did not say it out loud. He looked at Brando and replied with a straight face: "I'm just like you, I don't have anything." Know."
"Is that so?" Brando scratched his head in distress, looked at the surrounding soldiers, crouched down and thought hard, "Then what's going on? What's going on..."
Brando thought hard for almost an afternoon, even pulling out more than a dozen hairs, but he still couldn't figure it out.
When he was about to continue thinking, the eldest lady Anne came back.
But he didn't come back alone. There was a large group of people behind him. In addition to the black heavy-armored soldiers before, there were also many blue heavy-armored soldiers. At the end was the magic knight who was holding the war horse and ready to fight at any time.
"This..." Brando looked at the huge team in surprise and wanted to ask Anne, but saw Anne ignoring him and walking towards the courtyard where he lived, her eyebrows lowered, looking like she was deep in thought.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta."
Heavy footsteps sounded, and a knight in golden armor and magic armor came over, pulled off the face shield of his helmet, looked at Richard and Brando and said seriously: "You two are Miss Anne's wizard apprentice guards, you will return home from now on." I'll take care of it, and from now on, I'll be responsible for all Miss Anne's safety matters."
"True or false?" Brando looked at the other party suspiciously.
At this time, the eldest lady Anne, who was walking in front, paused slightly, turned around and said: "What he said is true. You two can just listen to his instructions from now on. If you have any trouble or problems, we will talk about it after this night."
After saying that, he turned back and walked straight into the courtyard where he lived and into the room.
Brando looked back strangely, looked at the magic knight in front of him, and said incomprehensibly: "Well, can I ask, what the hell happened? Why did it happen all of a sudden? I don't know anything. Woolen cloth."
"It's best not to know." The magic knight said solemnly, "Don't ask, and you are not allowed to ask. Just listen to my command."
Brando: “…”
"Is there any problem?" The magic knight looked directly at Brando and Richard and asked.
Brando was still hesitating, but Richard was the first to answer: "No problem."
"That's good." The magic knight stepped forward.
"Who is this? He looks so stinky. No matter what, I am still a wizard apprentice. Can't you respect me?" Watching the magic knight walk away, Brando muttered to Richard with a bit of dissatisfaction.
Richard looked at the back of the magic knight going away and replied slowly: "It seems to be West, the deputy commander of the magic knight of the Pangbo family."
"Sid?" Brando's eyes flashed and he said quite well-informed, "Is it him?! Before I hired him, I heard that he was severely punished by Miss Anne because of his poor performance. , have been dismissed from their posts. This... why are you suddenly responsible for Miss Anne's safety? It doesn't make sense at all."
"Yes, it doesn't make sense." Richard agreed without saying anything more.
Brando couldn't help but start thinking distressedly again, pulling his hair and saying: "What's going on?"
…
When Brando pulled out his thirty-eighth hair today, night fell.
The entire Pangbo family garrison was flooded with several times as many soldiers as during the day, all armed to the teeth, and no one knew what they were guarding against.
The residence of the eldest lady Anne is even more protected by soldiers and magic knights. Richard Brando has been assigned corresponding tasks and is responsible for personally protecting the eldest lady Anne - this is also the original responsibility of the two of them.
In the room, oil lamps and candles were lit one after another, making it brightly lit.
The eldest daughter Anne sat on the cushion in the living room with her hands on her knees, leaning against the wall and saying nothing.
Richard stood guarding silently, observing the actions of the others calmly, while Brando continued to think hard about the truth of the matter, and slowly pulled out the thirty-ninth hair.
West, the deputy commander of the Magic Knights, bent over and stood in front of a wooden table. On it was an unfolded topographic map of the surrounding area of St. Louis and a structural diagram of the Pangbo family's residence. He squinted and studied it.
Many soldiers and magic-equipped knights were standing there like iron spears, waiting for something.
waiting…
Brando pulled out the fortieth strand of hair and was trying to braid all the hair together into a small braid when a huge roar suddenly sounded in the distance outside the door, like an explosion.
"boom!"
Brando's hands shook, and all his hair fell to the ground. He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound reflexively, and then turned to look at Sid and Anne, hoping that they could explain something.
But Anne continued to sit on the cushion with her knees crossed and didn't move.
Sid moved, but did not speak to Brando. He just pressed his hands downward toward the men in the room and said: "Calm down!"
Then he opened the door and shouted to the soldiers outside the room: "Be alert, stay vigilant, and be ready to fight at any time."
"Yes." came the response from everyone outside the room.
After hearing the response, Sid walked back, walked to the wooden table again and began to study the map. This made Brando choke so much that he almost vomited blood. If he could beat West Germany, he could jump up and grab West Germany's ears and ask what happened.
But he couldn't beat him after all, so he pulled his hair again.
