The queen raised her head, her eyes were like a purple electric light reflected in the depths of her eyes, and she replied softly: "That's why you see the descendants of the gods on the one hand, the people of gold and silver hand over power to the mortals, on the other hand But the tree shepherd is recreating the blood of the gods, as lonely as my father, hesitated in this plan, and eventually lost to the hands of four sages."
"..."
Brando only understood what was going on, but he still couldn't understand the logic. It was ridiculous that he had to disperse the limited power when his own strength was insufficient to resist foreign aggression.
The queen turned her head and looked at Brando: "Do you find it difficult to understand, Mr. Earl?"
"From the perspective of ordinary people, it is true, but really the ancestors and sages are so ignorant? The problem is that if we choose a wrong path, the more we advance on this path, the closer we are to destruction. , We can’t judge whether we are right or wrong, so when one party chooses this path, the other party is obliged to observe and evaluate the plan that will eventually take us to that point, and at the same time, they must also make two-handed preparations To suspend the whole plan at any time—"
"It sounds ridiculous indeed, but this ridiculousness is based on our humble perplexity and anxiety, just because we can't see hope."
"Think about it. Everyone is preparing for a defeated war. We must bet on multiple sides to carefully maintain the continuity of this world. So I really envy you mortals who don’t know anything about it. Ignorance, you can go on fearlessly. As if there will always be a sunrise tomorrow, hope is always there, but in fact it is not the case, the sun has already gone out, maybe tomorrow, it will never rise again ."
"For those who know all this, this is a desperate thing, but they cannot make these things public. They are like fathers and mothers in a family. They must support the family alone and protect their children. My father, and my mother, they have such a responsibility, and I have been surrounded by this nightmare from the moment I was born, Mr. Earl, can you understand the feelings of a group of us? "
Her Majesty stopped, and then spoke again:
"Mr. Earl, I'm sorry to let you know these things. I didn't want to disturb your dreams, but like I said, since you have chosen this path, you must take on this responsibility—"
Brando took a breath.
He was silent for a long time.
Until aftershocks swept through the Sanctuary of Silent Death, a temple not far from here collapsed in the tremors of the ground, and the roar of the collapse of the building was still clearly audible a few hundred meters away. It seems that there are many descendants of Claes descending on this world, and there is a sound of fighting in the distance. It should be the undead black knights who have entered the temple and encountered it.
A shadow monster rushed in from the corner of the wall, Brando stretched out his hand and strangled its throat at a distance of several tens of meters, crushing the monster to pieces.
When Queen Madara saw this scene, her eyes brightened. The young earl was only one step away from the sage. On the battlefield of Finhotos, he opened Tiamat's authority to him. It does seem to be of great help to it.
"There has never been a beautiful dream in this world. You think mortals are too weak, Your Majesty," Brando opened his palm and replied faintly: "I was born in a remote country in Eruin, so remote that you might I had never heard of the name of this place before I planned to invade this kingdom, but before I became an adult, I lived in the shadow of your army. Maybe I was carefree when I was young, but I can get from the people around me. In his eyes, they felt their fear and hatred for the undead."
"Since the blood rod swept across the eastern part of Karasu, do you know how many years the Eruin have succumbed to the cruelty and majesty of the mercury rod? Since the Black Rose War, do you know how many Buchi people have been displaced and how many have been? Did they lose their relatives in this war?"
"For those children's fathers and wives' husbands, there is no essential difference between the despair and fear in their hearts who died in this final war and died under the butcher knife of your army."
"During those dark days, everyone had to struggle to survive, where is their hope?"
Brando turned his head and looked at the Queen: "Just like the monarch of the mortal world, he must always be careful to add a sharp blade to his body, or be killed by a glass of poisoned wine, mortal farmers, also need time. Always worry about their harvest in the coming year, as well as wars and various man-made disasters. In this world where we can only survive, who can be left alone?"
"I regret what happened to you, Your Majesty, although I admire Lord Odin very much, this does not mean that we are weak people-yes, I am just a mortal lord, even in the eyes of the farmer in my domain. , I’m above the top, but in your eyes, maybe I am no different from them. Everyone is more or less arrogant and proud. Occasionally, I also have such thoughts."
Brando took out a handkerchief from his pocket and unfolded it: "We don’t know much. The legends of the past are as far away as myths to us. We don’t know that some people in this world are carrying them. A lot of things are fighting for us, like Miss Andrea, and Lord Odin. They are the most noble people in the world, but—"
He handed the handkerchief to Queen Madara.
"This is no different to us. It is not as complicated as you think. It is just a war. Anyone can die in this war, including me, including you, but at least I can tell you Make a promise, I will die before you, Her Majesty—wipe your face."
Queen Madara looked at the white handkerchief in Brando's hand in amazement, then raised her head to look at him, Brando looked serious and serious.
"You are right, the sun may not rise again tomorrow, or our world will be destroyed in the next moment, but there is nothing to worry about-I am ready to fight for this and die for it, as long as I don't Leave regrets and regrets, then it will not be as terrible as imagined, is it?"
Queen Madara hesitated for a moment, and silently took the handkerchief from his hand, but she did not move, just tightened the veil.
"Okay," Brando looked at the Queen and replied, "I believe what you said is true, but then it's your turn to make me believe it, Your Majesty."
"About me and Bai's plan?"
"About everything."
Her Majesty frowned, and Philip stood beside her with a dull face. She hesitated for a while before she replied: "It's like the principle I told you, the agreement between Odin and the four sages, If there is an executive, there will naturally be a supervisor, and I am the supervisor."
"This plan was not born in a day. It has existed a long time ago. My father, Odin, represents the will of the Council of Truth. In fact, it is a continuation of the age of the gods, with the powerful Miner The human empire rules the world and resists the dragon of twilight with the power of the people of gold and silver, and the shepherd's plan goes further, to recreate the gods and return to the age of the people of gods."
"After the battle of the saints broke out, because of the agreement between the gods and the gods, my father did not want to sever the hope of mortals, so he finally failed, but he made an agreement with mortals and shepherds, that is after a thousand years. This big bet."
"Or is it because of that principle?"
Queen Madara nodded: "The reason why I have to wait until a thousand years later is because my father hopes to give the mortal world a chance to thrive. They were too weak at the time. My father revealed a part of the past to the four sages. In the fragments of the future, after understanding the fate of Vaughan, the sages agreed to this agreement, and as the appointment party, Ellanta chose to become the Most Holy One."
"And Gilt left behind her holy sword and took it out of Cruz, and Saint Ossor after the wind turned into a hero," she glanced at Brando: "What you accept is the inheritance of Saint Ossor. Well, if I’m not mistaken, Mr. Earl."
Brando was horrified, and this was the first time anyone had seen this secret in him, but he did not deny it, but nodded silently.
"Fa Enzan should have left something, but the wise man among the four sages has always been taciturn, and we have no way of knowing what he left behind. I heard that in the last part of his life, He seems to have seen something. Some people say that he has left this world and went to a very far place. They don’t know if it’s true.”
Hearing this, Brando had already understood most of it, and he said: "So you and Bai knew about the Dragon Queen's plan a long time ago, but they didn't stop her. They just made some preparations outside of this plan. That's it. ?"
"Yes, because I must represent the other side of this principle. When the Dragon Queen’s plan fails, I must guarantee the feasibility of another plan."
"what's the plan?"
"I don’t know. This plan was born out of the establishment of Warnd’s mortal era. Warnd’s mortalization was first proposed by the Council of Truth, but the Council of Truth was eventually split as a result. I only know its name. Its name is Wo. Ende Project—"
"Project Warnd..." The fragments of Brando's memory seemed to be floating upwards, like dots of fire.
"The second half of this plan was actually out of the control of the gods and people. Another great will took over it, but it did not leave a name. I think it may be Martha, but it may also be some other god. —Because this plan was carried out in secret, and even its executors did not understand what it represented. Because of this, it was placed after all the plans. Even if it was my parents, it was only in accordance with the oracle. It leaves a glimmer of hope."
"The silver lining is Roman, your merchant lady."
"what?!"
"So do you understand? It is precisely because of the existence of that great will that the body of the dragon of twilight in the mortal world—that is, your fiancee—was not killed. She survived until the generation of my father and mother."
"But why..."
"I said, I don't know. It is only related to a promise left by Martha. My mother has left a hope for all of us."
Brando raised Odyssey in his hand: "Is this all?"
"That's all," Queen Madara replied: "So Bai went to the Metz area. In addition to fulfilling the agreement and monitoring the Dragon Queen and the White Queen's plan, he was looking for the legendary Dark One that was lost in East Metz. Orb."
She looked at the hand towel in her hand, picked it up, and gently wiped the blood off her face: "So because of the Dragon Queen’s plan, she will definitely go outside the elemental territory. For us as monitors, we It only counts the failure of the plan, and does not consider what will happen after it succeeds; but as for why I met you, Mr. Earl, maybe this is the hope that Master Martha has left us—"
"Because this is our destiny—"
