Brando was stunned when he saw the crystal teardrops rolling down from Qian's face:
"What's wrong?"
But the girl let her tears slip in a daze, as if she hadn't heard it, and it took a while to react. She sucked her nose first to stop the emotional collapse, and finally realized her gaffe, her cheeks became hot and blood red for a while.
"It's nothing, because it hurts too much..." Qian turned her head away, and replied somewhat reluctantly, "Lord Lord..."
Brando burst into tears in his heart, thinking that this excuse is too awkward-does it seem to cry because it is too painful? Rather, it is more appropriate to cover up that you have panicked!
He is not a fool, he has vaguely guessed what the girl is thinking. Although he didn't know what Akane thought of the other members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, Macaro, and herself, he could see that the apparent taciturnity could not conceal the girl's escape from all the past.
It is not so much that she has accepted everything, as she is still staying in the memories of the past—she seems to have an instinctive fear and distrust of the external world—if she leaves all familiarity, she will be affected by a huge Surrounded by a sense of isolation.
Brando didn't know what Akane had experienced in the past, but he knew that the behavior of "Maned Wolf" Macaro must have caused great harm to the girl.
"Can you stand up?" He put aside these thoughts and asked.
Akane nodded weakly, but she tried several times, even if she held Brando's hand, the severe pain still made her sob and kneel down.
Brando couldn't bear to see the red-haired girl crying while gritting her teeth and working hard. Although it's not that I haven't seen a woman crying, he appreciates Akane's strength even more than those daughters in the game whose eyes are flushed at every turn.
Besides, he is still a man.
"Don't insist anymore, let me carry you!" Brando said.
They can't stay here for long, although they don't know the situation of Kuran and Medissa who are sealed on the other side. However, if the old man is allowed to return to the surface before them, then their action will completely fail.
Therefore, every minute must be raced against.
"Then how... OK?"
Akane was stunned, but how could a lord do such a thing? Maybe Macaro would do it, but she now knows that it is to buy people's hearts—just as the head of the group used to be indifferent to her in the past—she didn’t understand why this was, no matter how well she did it. Not so many eyes like Eco.
But then she finally understood that even if it is to buy people's hearts, it needs the qualifications to be bought. Akane certainly wouldn't be jealous of the one she loves, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed in her heart.
A guy who didn't even have silver strength, maybe he was inferior to Reddy in the head of the group. The red-haired girl couldn't help feeling disgust at the thought of the white-haired young man who had been killed by Brando.
But what is this young lord for
She has no power at all now, and she has no reputation among the rest of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, and she is not as good as Sandford. To say that the lord spied her body, but she also believed that she was not as beautiful as the merchant lady who was declared to the outside world to be Brando's fiancée.
Brando even limited the latter to physical intimacy, not to mention himself.
"No need..." She thought for a moment, and shook her head vigorously: "Lord Lord, you go first, wait until you control the mining area, and then come to rescue me..."
She paused and said hesitantly: "I am a mercenary, and I won't be too scared by myself. At most, at most adults, you can leave me a lighting crystal..."
Brando couldn't laugh or cry as she watched Akane's face clearly scared, thinking whether she could find her way out is still a problem, but even if luck is good, everything goes well, it will be at least a few hours before she comes back. Not to mention that there is no danger in leaving a girl with no defense ability here, the most important thing is that maybe he is in danger of becoming enchanted as soon as he stays away from Akane.
But he thought for a while, and instead of speaking directly, he replied tactfully: "You have lost too much blood. It would be dangerous to stay here."
"It's okay," the red-haired girl shook her head: "This is also Master Martha's will. Besides, there is no need for you, your lord, to bring a drag—"
She paused, and her voice became weak: "Actually thank you, Lord Lord, you don't want to leave Akane, this is enough..."
The girl took a breath, and suddenly smiled with some effort: "So... I can't be so selfish, am I?"
Brando was shocked when he heard this.
He looked at Qian's eyes that were as beautiful as amber-there was even a hint of mist in them, but in the end it was still dim and dull, and he suddenly understood in his heart.
Such an excellent girl would at least not suffer such a fate in the age of stability in Warnder—
But does Warend have a time to settle down
Amber Sword sets this world as a disputed and turbulent world, because a game requires a chaotic environment to compose an epic-like chapter, but what is an epic? For this world, it is nothing more than flames burning the earth, bones piled up, and blood flowing into rivers.
On the frontier of civilization, Warnd is constantly being eroded, and wars are becoming more frequent. On the one hand, human beings have become more collective due to the need for survival, but on the other hand they have become more utilitarian and practical.
The consequence is that the existence of the individual becomes insignificant.
The warmth between people has long since disappeared, and the whole society was filled with an icy taste when it was formed, cold and efficient.
Although in Eluin, because the incompetent aristocracy holds the ruling power of the country, there is more and more resistance, but this resistance is not to overthrow the world's system. In the final analysis, it is because the people at the bottom generally doubt the legitimacy of the ruler—this legitimacy has nothing to do with blood or origin. The only criterion for judging is power.
The strong are respected, and the weak seem to be supposed to fend for themselves.
As a modern person, Brando does not oppose the former, but he disagrees with the latter.
It’s like he knows that Akane’s story is not an individual case in this world—there are thousands of Akane—just like there are thousands of Fonia. If it weren’t for him, then the Green Village The fate of the little girl is estimated to be no better than the red-haired girl in front of her.
Is not it
What's more, there are far more unfortunate people in this world than them.
He is powerless to change all this, which is different from changing the fate of Eruin's kingdom. It is a resistance to the will of the world itself. This will not only represents the power of a huge society, but also the natural law that forms this power itself.
After all, this is a different world from the earth.
Brando’s selfish desire is to save the kingdom. As for whether this desire will hurt more people—these people may come from other countries in the world, whether Madara or Cruz—or even for The oppression of the kingdom itself is the same, he didn't think much about it.
Brando only hoped that the people he was familiar with, whether the princess, the Valkyrie, or more people who gave their lives for this kingdom, would not repeat the tragedy that happened to these people.
Rewriting history, nothing more.
When a tragedy like Akane happened around him, he didn't think he could turn a blind eye.
Therefore, Brando shook his head after hearing the girl's words, slightly startled, "You think too much, am I such an incompetent person?"
"But..." Qian was still hesitating.
"An excellent team leader will not leave any of his team members—" Brando felt that at this time he should say something similar to this looking handsome. He remembered that this sentence was when the senior sister handed over the team to the team. I told him when he got it.
However, he found that he opened his mouth and said that he couldn't be serious at all, and finally shook his head and made a botched joke: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you."
But Brando was about to cry after saying this, and felt that he had lost the face of the traveler.
Qian couldn't go there as well, her face was completely red, and she shook her head quickly: "Of course not, it's just..."
"It's not just anymore." Brando felt that he was going to be mad if he continued speaking. He simply copied Akane with both hands without saying a word, ignoring the latter and let out a cry of fright.
Qian was completely stunned.
She never dreamed that Brando would come hard, and thought in a mess: "He, he, he just said that he won't take advantage of me!" But the girl immediately buried her head down on her chest like an ostrich. The red ears were pounding in his heart, and he couldn't say a word.
Does she think this is the legendary princess hug
When she was in the mercenary group, she had wondered more than once whether Eco would hold herself to the temple in this way one day in the future, but this little extravagant hope had long since turned into a beautiful fantasy after Yura appeared. That's it.
But this red-haired girl would never think that one day someone would really hold herself like this. It's just that this person is not the one she imagined, and the dark mine tunnels around it seemed a bit too weird.
But when she leaned her head on Brando's chest like an ostrich, although her heart was beating fiercely, she felt a sense of stability inexplicably.
"Lord Lord is different from most of the people I have seen," she thought, "different from Eco. By his side, people have a strange sense of relief and trust. This kind of feeling must be Antitina. It’s the same, and Miss Romance is the same, you can feel it..."
Akane suddenly understood why more and more people gathered around Brando in just a few months, although this has something to do with the young man’s personal abilities—but in Warnd, he has more background and ability than him. There are also many people.
But today she finally found the reason.
She gave a soft "cut", thinking that it would be a blessing to be able to follow such a lord. It seemed that Lord Martha did not completely abandon her.
It's just that the prospect of losing her strength still makes her feel a little bleak. Akane knows that she is not a genius. It may not be that simple to regain that kind of strength.
But she shook her head to throw away the thought, and let her go for a day. Brando's every move has completely relieved her.
But when the girl thought this way, she didn't know that she might only have a few days or even a few hours of life.
