"Nothing, Senior Sister Nimesis."
Nimesis smiled, but immediately became serious again: "You have been a little more careful recently, that kid has recently become restless again. But they did it quite concealed this time, and I can't grasp their handle for the time being—"
Freya raised her head and looked at her worriedly.
"It's okay," the black-haired female knight took a breath: "I'm here, just be careful."
After speaking, she raised her head to look at the sky in the direction where the carriage disappeared. The northern sky is a bit gloomy, as if a terrible storm is gestating.
Is it just that this storm will come before deep winter
no one knows.
Nimesis only knew that the academy had begun to become panic. Perhaps the last territory of this kingdom was not a haven, but the center of a huge vortex in the future. As for this short peace, it was just an illusion of the silence before the storm.
At least the female knight understands that in the north, in the free port of Ampersel, a war without gunpowder is about to begin.
She turned her head and glanced at Freya deeply.
"Are you competent?" she asked.
"What?" Freya was dumbfounded.
The future Valkyrie laughed at Nimesis with a dazed look. She hid her mouth slightly, and replied somewhat interestingly: "Nothing—"
…
And in the last days of this complex and complicated frosty moon, everything seems to be gathered together. When the situation in the north becomes shaky, the same time flies, only the blink of an eye is photovoltaic, Schafflund Two weeks have passed since the mine—
The incident that caused everyone's anxiety turned out to be a farce. This farce was widely circulated in the town at first, but it was quickly forgotten by people.
People are always forgetful. Except for the families of the wounded and deceased who will remember this day forever, most people have returned to their original life trajectory in just a week.
The Schafflund mine seems to be unchanged on the surface, maintaining its old look for decades. But below the surface, something slowly changed.
First, since Brando and others left the underground, Kuran's actions have been restricted. At Brando’s sign, the old man announced that he would temporarily transfer all duties in the mine to Okins, and then healed behind closed doors—and as for the timid clerk—in fact, he broke into Brando and Medissa. When he was in his office, he completely surrendered.
Nowadays, Uta took the disguise of more than 20 mercenaries from the Black Iron Pinnacle and followed him closely for 24 hours. Even with his 100,000 courage, he did not dare to play any tricks.
In fact, contrary to Brando's expectation, Okins seems to be more cautious and diligent than ever, so that he has won some praise among the civil servants who don't know the truth.
Those deputies thought that after their adults had stirred up the entire mining area on one shoulder, they finally regretted renewing themselves and became pragmatic and willing to work.
Even those scouts who had been sent by Count Denell to secretly monitor the performance of this young man had already written positive reviews on the report for two consecutive weeks.
Of course, each of these reports passed Brando's hands. When Brando showed these reports to the timid clerk, the young man named Aukins scolded his mother for the first time.
Of course, after cursing, he looked around carefully, as if he was afraid of being heard by the eyeliners around the disrespect of Earl Dernell.
This is the so-called mud can't support the wall-Brando shook his head involuntarily.
However, in order to appease the timid and lofty clerk, Brando made a promise to him, promising that he would not disclose the details of his work for them to anyone afterwards, only that he would be imprisoned and another Replaced him with someone similar to him.
Although this lie seemed to be put through as soon as it was opened, it at least gave our clerk a psychological comfort. Now he is often worried all day long, so he lives with this psychological comfort.
As for Kuran being sent to Fir City the next day, when the old man saw Shire, he knew that he could not run. However, he refused Brando's intentional or unintentional gestures, but asked the latter to keep his promise and let him go as soon as the time was up.
When he saw this report, Brando smiled and shook his head at the desk in a room in the Trout Inn in the woods in the town of Schafflund.
Kuran is obviously related to his grandfather, but the old swordsman has become silent since he left the underground.
The young man deliberately found out the truth about this secret from the other party, but he wasn't in a hurry for his temperament. Anyway, he had a way-and now he has more important things to be busy with.
So he put the matter aside first, turned around and looked at the petite back of the merchant lady who was buried in the pile of account books-after leaving the ground, he reprimanded the disobedient lady. .
However, he originally thought that Roman would ignore him for several days, but when he left the mining area, the girl who pretended to be a big businessman still grabbed his hand tightly-as if holding some important treasure, accidentally For fear of losing it.
Brando regretted this a little, and wondered if he was too verbal.
Unexpectedly, within a few hours, this young lady would germinate and become swaggering again. It wasn't until the tiger bird arrived and Brando ordered Uta to copy the account book from the mining area and send it out, that little Roman really condensed his mind.
She has been working for two days, and the progress is incredible-businessmen do seem to have an innate talent in this area-can easily distinguish what she wants from the complicated numbers and abbreviations.
Fortunately, Warnd’s accounting method itself was quite simple and still in a very primitive stage. Roman quickly investigated and dealt with the shortfalls of Okins and others, and checked out some of the loopholes in the accounts.
However, Brando understands that it is not yet time to make drastic liquidation in the mining area. At least in name, this place is still under the jurisdiction of Earl Jean Dnell. He and Roman can only enter the mining area and meet Uta casually, which caused the mining area. Spy's attention.
In fact, the twenty-odd mercenaries who were newly installed were all borrowing the name of the soldiers killed and wounded in the mine disaster. These people will not take too long, so that Earl Dernell will not let too many appear in the area under his jurisdiction. Strange faces.
At most one month, new soldiers will be added-of course, Brando can still block it, but it will delay at most two months.
Two months is enough for Brando.
So he pressed this matter and waited for the later autumn to settle accounts. However, in addition to the most important thing at the moment, some small things also give him a headache.
For example, the teenagers who came out of the ground with them-Kewen, Joka, and Maher. Brando really appreciates that thin boy, or the future king of Jean Denel-because whether he knows it from Brando or has seen it, it proves that this boy will never be willing to do it. An ordinary person.
In fact, this thin teenager's performance in the underground also confirmed this.
But to Brando's surprise, Ke Wen refused his offer. The boy made it clear that he and his friends would leave this place—according to their original plan, to enter the outside world.
This news makes Brando a little pity, the King of Denel is not an ordinary person, but he also knows that such people cannot be forced to stay, and can only let them stay in Shavlund town temporarily, and wait until two months later. Choose to stay or leave.
On the other hand, Brando failed to stay who should stay. The things that shouldn't have stayed, but stayed.
The weird old dwarf, who claims to be the only descendant of the rune dwarf-and it seems that his performance in the underground world confirms this-of course this is not a big deal, what really makes Brando a little strange is that this guy seems In the past few days, he always appeared in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, the old dwarf with a bad temper didn't necessarily show him a good face for the nominal lord, but at least it wasn't as cold as before.
However, Brando quietly put away the sword of the earth for this reason. He was worried that the purpose of the old dwarf was actually this. He didn't expect that after he put away the sword, the other party would still be the same as before—as if he hadn't been affected at all.
Regarding this, Brando could only attribute the other party's behavior to neurological problems, and then turned his head to ignore this guy.
Because within a few days, another more important thing completely diverted his attention—
Tiger Sparrow led the people to the mine. They would find a way to secretly transport all the silver ore stored in the warehouse in Shavlund town, smelt it and send it to the fir collar, ready to be minted into currency.
At the same time, Tiger Sparrow brought good news for Brando.
In fact, on the third day of their departure, Shire found Grudin's private mint from a nearby manor. However, there was a small episode between this-the noble private soldiers hiding in the manor realized that their whereabouts had been exposed, immediately closed the door to prevent the mercenaries from entering, and clamored to resist until the last person.
Such behavior obviously angered the leader of a small mercenary regiment who had taken refuge in Brando who led the team at the time. That guy was called Madelan. Compared with his strength, his hot temper was more widely known. So at that time he was going to teach these mercenaries a lesson—
Since they are going to resist to the last person, then he must satisfy their wishes!
But just as the gunpowder keg was about to be hardened, our young wizard vetoed his request, and Shire had only one sentence for Madeleine: watch the change.
This sentence has a miraculous effect.
On the second day, the aristocratic private soldiers who were still invincible hit the white flag, opened the door griefly and surrendered. Although the mercenaries present at the time felt mysterious to the enigma of the wizard.
But soon, they realized that it was actually no big deal.
the reason is simple.
At this time, the news of Sir Mintai’s fiasco had spread throughout Tonigel—
