The Amber Sword

Chapter 520: Self-conflict

Views:

Nimesis and her knights are at war, but no one in the hall has noticed yet. Her Royal Highness Eruin’s princess has come to the countess. She smiled at Dilfieri, who looked at the most beautiful princess in Eruin, frowned and nodded slightly, but her eyes There is a touch of imperceptible loneliness hidden in it, but no one notices it. Princess Griffin and Dilphary clearly knew each other, and the presence caused a small whisper-Yanbao is the same old family as the Corcovado royal family, and the histories of both have almost continued since the birth of the kingdom. It is not surprising that its members met the royal heirs.

It's just a rumor that the royal family maintains a mysterious connection with some ancient traditional families, and now it's finally settled. The actions of the princess immediately aroused the vigilance of several powerful figures present. Only Marquis Youxi watched this scene with a smile but a smile. He stood aside, raised the wine glass filled with blood-like liquid, and said softly. He said, "Viruy satt (Elvish language: the show just started)—" But at this time, the movement outside the manor finally reached his ears. Before, he stood alone by the window after greeted Brando. , So he first noticed the movement outside. He looked back and just saw the movement of the royal knights, his complexion changed drastically.

Griffiyin turned his gaze to Brando again, "It seems that Yanbao's past glory can be further improved. I really envy you fortunately. In addition, Dilphary. Is this your knight, last time I Why haven't you seen it?" There was a trace of envy and regret in her silver eyes, but her voice was calm and full of sincere blessings.

Everyone present knows why the princess would say that.

A young man who has entered the field of gold at the age of twenty is not unreasonable even if it is regarded as the power of elemental civilization, because a genius like this will definitely reach that point in the end. The element-level powerhouses are powerful existences that can change the balance of power no matter which country they are in. The Corcovado royal family originally had superior power over the many princes under the rule of the dynasty, but after the division of the North and the South, Griffith Because it is very clear that the power he has in his hands may not be more than that of the dukes. In fact, it is not the cross-handed Buga joining, her situation is even more bleak.

But Buga did not serve the royal family after all. Her Royal Highness of Eruin knew this in her heart better than anyone else. Looking at Brando, she couldn't help being both sad and jealous for a while, why God is always reluctant to favor Cole. The Kova royal family, even at this moment when the dynasty is crumbling. Obviously, she can even sacrifice everything for the future of this country and her younger brother, including her life and body. Can she even dismiss such a determination

But Dilphary's face darkened, and she nodded: "Because my father hadn't considered whether to arrange a knight for me last time, so sister, you haven't seen him."

Brando couldn't help but glanced at the Countess, probably not expecting that she could lie without changing her face.

"That's it," Griffith seemed to have noticed something. She raised her head and suddenly narrowed her eyes to look at Brando. "I don't know why, although I have never seen you, but I always feel that you are very familiar... It's weird."

Brando immediately felt two sharp gazes falling on him. His body was slightly taut, but after looking along his gaze, he found Macaro and Liwoods standing behind the princess, these two treacherous old foxes. Obviously recognized him. But Brando was not nervous, but relaxed. He didn't do makeup today, just wanting Macaro and Li Woods to create an opportunity for him to meet the princess.

Brando knew that neither the Sifah royal family nor the Corcovado royal family would give up the whereabouts of the Lionheart Sword. When he triggered the artifact reaction, Li Woods and Macaro were also present. He believed Eli Woods’ Knowledge will certainly quickly determine that the movement he caused at the beginning must be related to the Lionheart Sword. In fact, the appearance of Eruin’s envoy in the Green Tower shows that Obergus VII may have been aware of it. And as his only favorite daughter, Brando didn't believe that Princess Griffith would be ignorant of this matter.

Now the parties involved in this matter are in front of them, and he believes that the royal party will do something.

But Brando still didn't know that the Lionheart Sword had already appeared, and it was in Freya's hands now, otherwise he would not have come up with such an idea. It's just that the royal party blocked the news too well, and there are not many people who know the Lionheart Sword. At the beginning, Freya's performance in the Knights Conference attracted attention to her, not the sword in her hand, because of this. Various reasons led to Brando's misunderstanding today.

Brando did not intend to answer the question of Her Royal Highness. He is now acting as Dilphary's retainer. Although the princess asked him questions, he is not qualified to speak here yet. He turned his attention to Dilphary, and the latter replied with a little embarrassment: "your Highness… "

Griffith smiled: "Dilphary, are you still worried about me digging your corner?"

"Of course not." The countess said that it is not necessarily true. In fact, the world does not know that the Corkova royal family and the Yanbao family have always had close personal relationships. This is one of the royal family's greatest secrets. She and Griffith knew each other since they were very young. , She knew everything about the competitive character of the princess. It's just that if Brando is really her subordinate, she will definitely not be at ease with this'sister', but anyway, she knows Brando has nothing to do with herself, so she just perfunctory.

At this time, a slender figure separated from the crowd and came to the princess. Brando saw that it was a middle-aged man with a slightly long face and sharp eyes in a black dress. He must be able to get in and out of here, but his identity was not low, but what made him strange was that he felt a little familiar with the other party, so he couldn't help it. One more glance; his attention caught the other person’s attention, Overwell turned his head, and then slightly startled-Brando did not recognize him, but he recognized Brando-he was in Reeden. The wolf Sir Overwell, who had a relationship between Fort and Brando, once praised Brando’s talent in front of Griffith, but he couldn’t help but stayed for a while when he saw Brando here today. .

"Why is this guy here?" The nobleman who is known for his shrewdness frowned, and the first thing he thought of was the identity of Brando Highland Knight.

"Qing Overwell, what happened?" The princess noticed Overwell's look and couldn't help but reminded.

Sir Wolf took a deep look at Brando-the wolf will always remember its prey-Brando frowned because of the look in Overwell's eyes. He didn't know where he had met this guy, but the other party obviously recognized him, but he still wanted to confirm that Overwell had turned his head-Brando only saw the other party and the princess have a fight Wink.

"Something happened outside, let everyone avoid it." Overwell's voice was not high, but it unexpectedly overwhelmed the whispering voices in the hall and silenced everyone.

"What's the matter?" Griffith frowned because of his beautiful brows. This is the site of the temple. If something happens, it won't be a trivial matter.

"Hearts appeared outside," Overwell replied.

pagan

With a bang, the entire hall seemed to be lit. The Temple of Flame is not exclusive. Except that the five temples do not interfere with each other, some small sects or mysticism are mostly allowed to spread between countries, but among the five temples There is often only one heretic, and that is the cult following the Dusk or the Dragon of Darkness. Regardless of how the cultists may appear in the central area under the jurisdiction of the temple, it is said that most cultists are cruel, evil and crazy people. Of course, most of the nobles present are not willing to be buried with these lunatics, so for a while, some noble women even Screamed.

Not to mention these ordinary nobles, even Griffin and Brando couldn't help being surprised. Her Royal Highness Eruin's princess was surprised how cultists could get into the venue, but Brando was surprised that such an incident had never happened in history, so the latter seemed even more shocked by comparison.

"What the hell is going on?" Griffin saw that the monks in the temple had begun to maintain the order of the scene. They were all in the center of the meeting place. Even if they wanted to look outside, they couldn't see the outside of the manor. She knew this very well, so she asked directly.

But this lone wolf, who is always known for his shrewdness, also shook his head this time.

Don't talk about him, in fact even Nimesis, who first discovered these cultists, doesn't know what happened at this moment. The information she had obtained from Freya inferred that Brando and others must have been unkind to the princess, and immediately ordered the knights to protect the royal party in the hall, but she did not expect that she had just issued the order. As soon as the knights drew their swords, the entire manor was suddenly chaotic.

The cultists seemed to have appeared suddenly. They had previously disguised themselves as various characters, some were entourages of nobles, and some were even guards of the manor. As soon as they saw the princess’s knight drawing his sword, they immediately did it. Followed by drawing the sword, and then as if premeditated, the soldiers were divided into two groups to kill the royal knights. The soldiers and horses directly entered the manor. The monks and soldiers in charge of the security work in the manor did not expect the nobles to bring it. The guard would be the enemy, so there were heavy casualties in a single encounter.

When this scene happened, everyone couldn't help being stunned. Only Nimesis believed that this was the plan of Brando and his party was revealed, so she jumped the wall in a hurry—she was a qualified soldier, and without a trace of panic at the moment, she immediately drew out her long sword and issued an order to everyone around her: "Don’t get entangled with these guys. , Their target is the nobles in the hall, all the knights follow the order, immediately open an opening, and come with me—"

After she finished speaking, she pierced the heart of a cultist who leaped at her with a sword, and then pulled the sword back in an instant. There was not even a trace of blood on the sword. The action was so fast that even the people around him hadn't had time to see clearly.

There were a lot of noble guards on the scene at this moment, but they were shocked by the scene before them. At this moment, hearing such a calm and firm command from the scene, an energetic spirit reacted immediately and pulled out their weapons and killed them. ; It’s not that Nimesis can order these guards with the prestige of the royal family. It is entirely because most of the nobles who can participate in the Anlek meeting are of extraordinary identities. The price of starting.

After all, the cultists who stayed outside were a minority. As more and more noble guards joined the battle, they suddenly opened a few long holes in the temporary defense line built on the periphery. But the aristocratic guards were not at all happy. These cultists lived up to their murderous reputations, and in the last moments often had to fight back to death. There was no one who fled, thinking that such murderers had also killed many and entered the manor. Everyone present couldn't help but feel heavy.

Due to the strength of the temple, the nobles were ordered to leave most of the guards outside the manor, and at this moment an accident happened suddenly, and everyone present could not help but curse the bastard behavior of the temple of flames.

Nimesis is no exception. Her brows are frowning. Although her Royal Highness is next to Woods, the wizard is still inferior to the warrior when he is close, especially the young man who is still in the golden rank and may even have the strength of the elements. , In the case of being close enough to the princess, Master Lewoods may not have time to stop it. She pressed the long sword in her hand, and even the knuckles turned white, and when the royal knight broke through the direction of the cultist, she immediately attacked the manor.

The black-haired female knight couldn’t help looking around with some anxiety, but at this moment she found Freya was in a daze, "Freya!" Nimesis seemed to have found a place to vent her anger; she was a royal party. Among the few who know the true background of this young girl from Buche, Everton is one of the real pride of the royal party. It can be said that without Everton there would be no royal party today, and for this Everton's only blood relative, Nimesis, has a complicated relationship.

Freya does not always satisfy her. Although she appreciates the other party's efforts, looking forward and backward, hesitating is not the quality that a general should have. How can such a person hold up the honor of the "scepter of fire" ? Besides, about that dream...

Nimesis shook her head and threw her nervous thoughts into her mind. She looked at Freya sternly, and the latter seemed to have reacted.

"You have died ten thousand times in a daze like this on the battlefield." Her tone became cold involuntarily.

"Sorry, Senior Sister Nimésis." Freya was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "I was distracted by other things..."

"Your explanation had better convince me." Nimesis replied.

"Guards of Grand Duke Anlek," Freya frowned and looked at the side of the carriage, and whispered: "Sister Nimesis, although they are attacking... but they are located next to the carriage—it is clearly a tactical lesson. What we talked about above is closer to the defensive tendency. This is the basis we have learned from the Eruin infantry code. The guards under Duke Anlek should be of military origin. They don't know this, right? "

Nimesis' eyes lit up slightly, and she heard Freya's words and immediately reacted. It is impossible for there to be so many cultists inexplicably within the control of the temple, especially if these cultists have mixed into the guards with such a big hand, they must have reached a deal with some monstrous figure behind them-the guards of the nobles are not so good. Instead, there is a strong stench of conspiracy behind this.

"Be careful with them." Nimesis replied coldly, but she frowned secretly. Her Royal Highness is negotiating with Duke Anlek, and what is the intention of the other party's move? Framed or framed

Thinking of this, she was silent, but she didn't know that Freya who was on the side was greatly relieved. This girl from the countryside of Buche was very happy, thinking Brando would not be against the princess.
