A group of guards wearing red robes hurried through the downtown, the metal trim of the cloak collided with the breastplate and clinked like a whirlwind on the ground. Antitina followed them across the entire market, the guards of the temple disappeared on the other end, and the sound of footsteps disappeared. She turned her head and felt that the tension in Amperisel was greater than it had been two days ago.
"I didn't expect the Lionheart Sword to be in the hands of Her Royal Highness, but the aristocrats in the north may not be willing to just give it up?" There were only two people in the carriage, and there was a slight bump as the carriage progressed—the space covered by the curtains was filled with Bran. The smell of perfume on Duo's body made the lady of the staff a little uneasy, and she asked in a low voice.
"So they postponed the next meeting for two days." Brando replied with his eyes closed slightly. The subtle changes in the meeting of the nobility made him abandon his original plan. Duke Anlek seemed to abandon the alliance with the royal party because of the pressure of the Cruz people, and instead remained neutral. Then some of the original arrangements would not be available—at least until the true intentions of the temple were figured out.
The intervention of the temple made everyone unexpected, but it was expected. The temple certainly does not want Eru to split or fall into civil strife, but what if civil war is already inevitable? Just like what has happened in history—the key is that there are still a few months before the Lions of Toquinin have enough food and grass. It is not impossible to make a time difference between the north and the south—as long as the princess shows sufficient strength. , It is not impossible to turn the Temple of Flame to support the South.
But Brando guessed what caused the Temple to be so eager to intervene in Eruin's affairs. It was not just a coincidence that Muros arrived nearly a month earlier than in history. History is secretly changing in unknown places, making him feel that everything is not as he expected, and some things may not be as simple as he thought.
The atmosphere in Amperel is a bit subtle now, and Brando has to suppress his willingness to move around, and is ready to observe it before talking; anyway, he has other things to do today.
"They will be able to find evidence in two days that the holy sword in the princess's hand is not the lion heart sword?"
"It might not be so easy to prove that it is not the Lionheart Sword. Although the sword is indeed different from the previous Lionheart Sword, after all, the Knights of the Swordkeeper Lake are genuine, and the Earl of Yanbao can prove this too. Brando let out a sigh of relief, and decided that he didn't want it if he couldn't figure it out. Anyway, there is the priest Wood on the temple, as well as the people he is going to meet today, he will always figure out what happened to make the temple so impatient.
"Yanbao?" Antitina looked at her lord with some curiosity.
"Hehe, I didn’t expect that you did not know. The first generation of Yanbao family ancestors was Eke’s attendants. Before the death of King Eke, he made a will to let them guard the holy sword for generations. Therefore, Yanbao was able to stay in Egypt. Lu Yin is so aloof. And the guardian of the Lionheart Sword should be the knight beside Eke—" Brando replied.
"How is it possible!" Antitina widened her eyes: "Then he is several hundred years old?"
"The knight of the lake is not originally a human being, but an existence contracted on the sword. He dedicated his life to the sword. From the state of existence, it is more similar to the undead." Brando chose reliable ones from his memory. To answer the rumors, he is not completely sure, after all, all this information comes from the forum where dragons and snakes are mixed.
"Isn't it very powerful, the princess has got a strong boost again." The thinking of the lady of the staff immediately returned to politics, and Brando couldn't help being a little funny, "Not as terrible as you think, Knight of the Lake. It has the strength of civilized elements, but because of the lack of a body, it is slightly worse than Veronica of the Cruz Empire." His subtext is that the knight of the lake is fifty-seventh level, and Veronica is fifty-ninth level. The later period of the elements of civilisation is coming.
Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles must have the strength of the 60th level of the pinnacle of cultural elements, and above that is the ultimate realm of controlling the elements. The dragons are born with such power-but Eluin does not currently exist. After the peak of gold, mankind manifests the elements, then breaks through the walls of the elements to enlighten the power, and finally reaches the ultimate state of completely controlling the elements. It takes a long period of cultivation, but for the blood of gold and silver, it is like eating and dressing. simple.
This makes Brando have to sigh.
"I understand, the northern nobles intend to delay time and find a justifiable excuse for starting the war." Antitina reacted.
Brando nodded, very satisfied with the reaction of his lady of the staff. In fact, the North and the South had no intention of peace talks at all. Both sides came to the attitude of Ampersel and the Temple. Now the attitude of the Temple is clear, and there is only one battle left between the two sides. But I didn't expect such an accident at the meeting. The princess side actually took out the Lionheart Sword. Presumably, Duke Sifah was worried about how many hairs were lost at this moment.
Princess Griffin is as clever and sensitive as the rumors, she definitely did not take out the Lionheart Sword to make the nobles at heart, but on this highly visible occasion to declare the royal party's legality of the right of inheritance; there is no doubt that she succeeded. , Lionheart Sword in Elu's prestige among the people can be imagined, under the oppression of the temple, the princess can even fight back calmly, this is indeed unexpected.
But as Antitina said, the northern nobles will not let go, and Brando's purpose in this trip is to inquire about the news. Of course, there are incidental purposes.
"Your Royal Highness is really clever." Antitina couldn't help but complimented.
At this time, the carriage stopped. The carriage paused slightly, Brando raised the curtain and saw his carriage parked side by side with another carriage. He carefully observed the other party's carriage, then knocked on the window twice, and the door of the carriage opened, and a person walked from inside, who immediately got into Brando's carriage again.
"Mr. Brando, I—" Magdal said as she jumped into the carriage with her skirt in her dress and looked at Brando; the nun princess was wearing a light white dress today, she looked gentle and quiet, but she looked a little nervous , His chest is slightly ups and downs. After getting in the car, she looked out nervously before closing the door.
But Brando interrupted her, shook her head, and made a silent gesture.
Magdal looked at the two of them puzzledly.
"When will the auction start?" Brando asked.
"The auction... We are almost in the past; Mr. Brando, my friend is a very reliable person. Don't worry, he will arrange your lot. But unfortunately, the people of Ampersel have been worried recently, no Few people are selling art and collections. Originally, the manager planned to use Mr. Brando’s auction as the finale.” Magdal understood Antitina’s gesture-Brando asked her not to mention it for the time being. 'Those things', be careful that there are ears in the wall-the nun and princess are also smart and human, and immediately reacted.
"It's okay," Brando replied. In fact, this is better. After all, the paintings of Princess Anyao in his hand are stolen goods, and it is not good to be too conspicuous.
Magdal took a breath and suddenly raised her head, making a group of gestures to Brando somewhat anxiously. It was a dumb speech, Brando was slightly startled, thinking it was not good, and he couldn't understand dumb speech—but this princess was really versatile. Historically, she was a linguistic genius, and she was a diplomatic envoy to the temple many times before getting married. It made other countries, but I didn't expect to understand even dumb language.
While he was slightly startled, he felt that Antitina was holding her hand. Brando turned his head and found that his lady of the staff had opened his hand and gestured with a finger on the palm of his palm. He stayed for a while and realized that Antitina was helping him translate:
"Priest Wood is under house arrest—"
Brando raised his head and stared at the nun princess in the Temple of Flame in surprise, only to see the latter nodded seriously. The news quickly made Brando frowned. To say that Wood and Murros are still colleagues under the same organization, there is no personal enmity between the two, and at best they are somewhat disagreeable. To say that Wood reached a compromise with Murros under the pressure of the temple, he can believe it, but Murros actually put the former under house arrest.
This is tantamount to turning a face.
is this necessary? Or is the temple urgent to this point? What was the reason that made the temple so eager, he thought for a moment, and suddenly turned over his hand to grasp Antitina's soft hand—the lady of the staff had never expected this change in her dream, and her face flushed, but She was still calm, only trembling slightly-Brando was unaware of this, and just wrote in her hand:
"Is there any news about the temple?" Antitina gestured, biting her lower lip.
Brando knew that her Royal Highness was Princess Griffin's true best friend, and he could believe it. Magdal had also heard of Brando's deeds, and had no doubt about the knight of her friend—in fact, she had been under surveillance now, and she couldn't see Griffin at all. But the outside world still doesn't know Brando's identity, so she rushed to find this mysterious young man from Tonigel.
In fact, she is still looking at Brando quietly. This young man who is rumored to be unruly from the outside does not look as brutal as the rumors. Some people say that he is the leader of thieves, but Magdal met Brando for the first time. Shi left a good impression of the other party, and he could even be said to be a model of gentleness and nobility-and not as hypocritical as Marquis Youxi.
Magdal nodded, she was about to make gestures, but Brando had already raised her hand to stop her.
"If you have anything, I'll talk about it when I get to the place, I don't know how to say it here." Brando said.
So there was silence in the carriage.
The carriage quickly passed the city center line of Amperexel. In fact, Brando had been to the auction house in Magdal's mouth before. He asked that before because it was not noticeable. This is a magical world. Although there is no bug, but some spells can collect the sound of the wind, he has to be careful. The carriage passed through Piazza San Binno in Amperexel and was very close to the auction house.
Brando even raised the curtains in his spare time to take a look at the scenery outside, but at this moment, the coachman screamed and the horse hissed in front of him, and then the carriage came to a halt from the rapid advance, and the carriage was horizontal. Almost flew off the road. The sudden change made the two ladies in the carriage unable to react. They rolled off their seats almost immediately, screaming. If Brando hadn't reacted quickly and hugged them with one hand and one waist, I guess. The two noble ladies are about to get in touch with the floor of the carriage.
The carriage shook violently, Brando held the two ladies against the side of the carriage wall, and managed to maintain his balance. But for a while, the posture of the three of them is inevitably a bit indecent. Brando embraces Antitina with one hand and supports the wall of the car with his elbow. The slender body of the lady of the staff seems to be strangled into this strong and powerful body. It was the same in the body, even the small breasts that were not well developed were tightly pressed against his chest.
Antitina's consistent calm kept her from being frightened by the sudden change, but instead she was clearly aware of her situation, and her face was dripping blood.
On the contrary, Princess Magdal was completely blank, completely shocked, so that she didn't realize she was hugged by Brando. This nun princess has no ability to protect herself at all, her body is soft and boneless, and it is light and fluttering, making Brando suspect that she is hugging a bunch of cotton, and she can't help but glance back. Seeing her pale, her eyes closed, and her pitiful look, he couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat.
After a while, the carriage stabilized and fell to the ground with a crash.
"Ah!" Magdal yelled uncomfortably, it turned out that Brando was pressing on her. This time the nun princess finally realized her situation and couldn't help struggling lightly, wanting Brando to let go of her. But Brando can’t manage that much now. Although I don’t know what’s going on outside, the horses are obviously frightened. If they are made to go crazy and drag the carriage on the ground, he’s fine, but Antiti Na and the nun princess will inevitably get hurt.
Brando reacted extremely quickly. He immediately drew the sword of the earth from the dimension hole and swung an arc upwards. With a loud crash, he cut a large hole on the side of the carriage, and then he grabbed Antitina and Margot. Dahl jumped out of the car. Brando is already close to the golden peak of strength, although it is only a momentary moment, this series of actions is not difficult for him. Passers-by on the street saw the carriage fall down, and there was a loud bang. Before he could see what was going on, a young man hugged two beauties on his left and right and landed steadily on the street.
'Wow, this guy is so Yanfu! '
This is the first thought of most people at the moment.
But Brando only felt full of anger. Cheng Antitina and Princess Magdal were still in shock. He looked up and suddenly saw that the two horses he was pulling had fallen in a pool of blood, and the coachman was also battered. He fell on the side of the carriage and moaned. Obviously the two feathered arrows on the horse's forehead were the culprit responsible for all this. Brando couldn't help raising his head with a sinking face, staring at a group of black-clothed and black-armored men and horses not far away. Asked:
"You did it?"
…
