"your Highness."
The footsteps stopped outside the walnut door, and then a woman's voice sounded. It was the female knight that Brando had seen that day that looked like a senior. "Nimesis?" Griffiy held her hair in arms and smoothed the long skirt that had been crumpled in the previous dispute.
"There is also the old minister, Your Royal Highness." A low and neat voice replied.
"Master Overwell." Griffith sighed slightly, and in just a few seconds, she recovered as usual, "Please wait a moment, I'm about to go to bed... Okay, please come in, two of you." The door pushed in response. Open, there are cold-faced Nimesis and Overwell standing outside the door. Sir Wolf seems to be wet from the rain or just returning from the outside.
Nimesis closed the door easily, and Overwell immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, Macaro and the others are going to meet your Majesty—"
"Needless to say, I know everything, Qing Overwell." Griffith interrupted him, raising his head to look at his two close ministers with bright eyes. Nimesis and her have met since childhood. The relationship between the two is not so much as a close friend and sister. Nimesis once vowed to become her knight-she is fulfilling her promise, the princess of Eruin. She kept pursing her lips, wondering if her sister still remembered the vow that she had been ignorant to.
She turned her gaze to Overwell again. Although Lei Woods was nominally her and the little prince’s teacher, in fact she was taught by the lone wolf as a lone wolf in her swordsmanship and politics. "Teacher, Sister Nimesis, please prepare, and we will leave Amperexel at once."
Overwell was startled slightly, and couldn't help raising his head. He had prepared a long story to cheer up the princess, but he didn't expect that the endurance of his students unexpectedly exceeded his expectations. He was very familiar with the character of the princess, and immediately keenly guessed whether or not what happened during this period of time.
Thinking about this, the kingly party's backbone took a suspiciously look in the room, and his gaze quickly fell on the open window.
"Teacher, you don't have to guess. I have figured it out. I can't give up Eruin's future, nor can I allow Grand Duke Lantonilan to divide the kingdom. You said that the glorious banner is still there. Eruin, but can I pick it up again, no matter how difficult and dangerous the future is?" Griffin asked.
"Don't try to know the result, Princess." Overwell looked back and looked at the princess approvingly.
"But the first task now is to return to my territory, where I will launch a war against the Sifah family and the temple. I believe that the people will stand with us. The Eruins have never forgotten that they had been with The Cruz people have fought bravely, and only those who have forgotten the vows of the nobles are forgotten." Princess Griffith nodded.
Overwell bowed slightly in agreement. He opened his mouth and said: "Then the temple must have learned that we have a disagreement within us, but it must not have expected that we will break so quickly. This happens to be our only opportunity." He turned his head, "Nimesis, how many royal knights can you mobilize?"
The Grand Captain of the Royal Knights, Kadler, is a student of Lewoods and a diehard of the royal party. He will definitely not be on the side of the princess at this season; Overwell previously arranged Nimesis to enter the Royal Knights just to To contain the power of this large commander, but so far, Nimesis has only enjoyed prestige among the young knights.
Nimesis lowered her head and groaned, and replied with a cold face: "No more than 30%, and they are all non-commissioned officers who graduated from the Knights Academy and lack actual combat experience."
"Less." The princess frowned.
"We may be able to seek help from outside." Overwell smiled slightly.
"External help?" A panic flashed under Eruin's princess hall, and he couldn't help but look at the closet.
"Earl Odin seems to appreciate His Royal Highness's actions against splitting the kingdom very much. I sent him out earlier, and he intentionally stood by our side in words. He has a mercenary under him who returned from the Black Forest with him. If he can be persuaded to join us, it will not only be helpful to our current situation." Sir Wolf then slowly said the origin of his wet clothes.
"Teacher, can you persuade Earl Odin?" Griffiy's eyes flashed with surprise, not only because of this unexpected foreign aid, but also because his own ideas were recognized by the traditional aristocracy. Although Brando's forces on her side had already emerged in Tonigel's war, in the final analysis, the princess still didn't think that an emerging power could have any strength.
In comparison, Griffiy pays more attention to the use of many of Bran as a golden-rank swordsman. Indeed, compared to Earl Odin's battle-hardened mercenary who can return from the Black Forest, it is now playing a much greater role in the current stormy situation in Ampersel.
What's more, there is an ancient family behind Earl Odin, and a large number of nobles who share the same political demands as him, which is a huge help. The goodwill of this power is really precious to the power of the precarious princess.
However, Brando, who was hiding in the closet, sneered at this. Overwell and the princess still wanted to rely on the power of the nobility. Of course, this is understandable. The ideological shackles are not so easy to break. Moreover, the kingdom does need capable people to govern. Brando also has to admit that there are many more knowledgeable and talented people among the nobles in this world. .
Obergusi VII established the Youth Guard and established an academy to select talents from the local area to break the old aristocracy's monopoly on power, but all of this has just begun and Eruin is caught in the flames of war. However, the future Eruin will still benefit from this. A large number of outstanding talents selected from the youth security team will enrich the kingdom, bringing the ancient country to Eruin a period of more than ten years of revival.
Had it not been for the Second and Third Black Rose Wars to interrupt this process, perhaps the Princess Regent would be able to slowly put the derailed wreck of the Kingdom of Eruin back on the right track.
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but sighed slightly.
He continued to listen to Nimessi’s cold voice outside: “The secret road leads to the outside of the city, but the area around the road is under the control of the temple, and further south is the territory of Grand Duke Anlek. A student of the Knights Academy We planned an escape route in advance, and the only conclusion was that only by water can we have a chance to escape from Ampersel."
"But we don't have a boat." Overwell replied.
"It doesn't work if you have a boat. The storm on the sea of the new moon is coming, and you can't go out to sea at this time." Nimesis added.
"No, we may have a ship." Griffiy suddenly remembered something. With a hesitant look on her face, Nimesis and Overwell looked at the princess in a strange way. The royal family arranged spies and some secret retreats everywhere. If there is a merchant ship here They would not find it strange that it was the hidden child pre-arranged by the royal family-there is a saying among the people in Elu that the king has the most secrets-although not completely correct, it also revealed a three-pointer.
It's just that Griffith hesitated for a while and suddenly said, "Let me introduce you to a guest."
"A guest?"
Nimesis was startled slightly, but after a start, Overwell showed a dazed look. Princess Griffin bit her lip, bent her fingers and knocked on the wooden table and said: "Come out, Mr. Brando, I hope you will live up to your promise and help us get out of this place wholeheartedly."
Brando did not expect that Her Royal Highness would push himself out at this time, but he was only surprised and soon returned to normal. The two outside seem to be Princess Griffin's close ministers, and she is willing to let herself appear at this time, which means that at least the princess has recognized him as a member of this circle.
He exhaled, opened the closet door and walked out.
"It's you!" Nimesis raised her eyebrows slightly.
Overwell also raised his eyebrows, but he didn't rush to speak. Brando is a bit embarrassed, why not, because he is a lone man and a princess in the same room, it is inevitable that outsiders will have any guesses—not to mention that he did something that was not so fair and honest before, although it was just impulsive—but Brando couldn't help blushing because of his guilty conscience.
He couldn't help but said haha, "Sir Overwell, I've met again. I heard you have seen him before, but unfortunately, he never met with Sir Sir before he came down." He said naturally the wolf. Sir secretly followed them. This incident was not what the princess told him, but a reminder of the little dragon. Coupled with some details that the princess accidentally revealed in the letter later, Brando can guess who he met with just a guess.
In fact, these are the only people who can move freely around the princess. Macaro was still a mercenary leader in the mountains of the south, so naturally it was impossible to appear in Rideenburg.
Overwell smiled when he heard the words: "Mr. Brando’s progress in swordsmanship is really unexpected. I heard that you have approached the element field and I still can’t believe it. I didn’t expect the facts to be in front of my eyes, so I believed this. There are indeed geniuses in the world." He complimented Brando, but immediately changed the conversation and asked: "But why is Mr. Brando appearing here at this moment? I really want an answer."
"Teacher," Princess Griffin's face was slightly flushed, of course not because of shyness, but because of the nervousness of being dismantled: "Mr. Brando has already become my knight. He is my spy. This time I come here. Ampersel is also to help us secretly. You have already known about this before, but I asked him to come here tonight because he has a ship in his hand, which happens to come in handy."
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Brando came to Amperethel on the boat led by Tonigel?" The half-elf girl glanced at him.
"When did I have a boat in my hand? I changed my job as the boss of the boat?" Brando was startled slightly. Of course he came by boat, but the boat was an authentic merchant ship. Now the storm is approaching, but no merchant ship dared to go to sea, and the relationship between Tonigel and the major chambers of commerce in Ampersel is not close to that level. He didn't expect that Princess Princess was justified in telling lies, but he did have a way to get the ship, not by buying, not by borrowing or renting, but by robbing. The Nagas are naturally good at doing this, they are. I ordered the bandit specialization—oh, it's a pirate.
He thought for a while, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and nodded. The rhetoric of the princess looks seamless, but in fact it is very flawed. Who would have thought that the royal party would split internally. What's more, the news that the Lions started the war in advance was only delivered to her desk an hour or two ago, and the statement she had arranged in advance was actually very easy to be self-defeating.
But at this time Overwell’s thoughts were still focused on Brando and the boat in his hand. He glanced at Brando, and reluctantly accepted what the princess said, and then asked: "But even if there is a boat, there are The storm can't go out to sea. Is your Royal Highness going to cross the Amperesel Strait to enter the Wall of the Dead, but the sea route over there is to pass through the sea in the province of Anlek, and Grand Duke Anlek will definitely use the navy to intercept us."
"No, no need." Griffin shook his head: "In the collection of the Temple of Andreux, there is a statue of the ship's head from the age of King Eck. It is said that it was made by the goddess Martha made from the teeth of a sea monster whale. The head of the ship. Legend has it that the ship with this head can calm the storm."
"This is a good way." Overwell's eyes lit up: "But it's not easy to get in the basement of the Temple of Andere Füller."
"I will ask Magdal for help. As for the person who sneaks into the temple..." Griffin cast his gaze to Brando.
"Me?" Brando was startled. He knew the legend of the head portrait, but he didn't know if it was true. Of course, it’s not bad if you can get this thing—it’s not to deal with the situation at the moment. There are sea whales that are so troublesome at the moment—but in the future, you can prepare for entering the land of storms. The land of storms is Martha, south of the ring of trade winds. In the sea area outside of the guardian land, there is a huge copy in which you can get the seventieth level suit and the task items for recasting the bronze body.
Magic storms have been plundered all year round outside of the village of storms, and it is a restricted area for the Naga people. Without Naga’s sea whales, the only way is to obtain items that can calm the storm. For example, the breath of tranquility in the holy water, the portrait of Martha's ship or the forbidden curse that can control the weather.
Brando certainly didn't want to branch out in this season, but silently wrote down the information, and then nodded.
Griffin seemed to be very satisfied with Brando’s attitude. She couldn’t help but comforted: “Don’t worry, Mr. Brando, Magdal, she can move freely in the temple, and entering the basement is not that troublesome. Things. Property is not an important thing for the saints, but it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. Your task is just to pick up her and bring things back by the way. Besides, now beside me, only you can move freely and have access to it. Magdal's trust."
Brando thought for a while, and found that what the princess said was really the case, so he pretended to nod his head, but thought in his heart that he just took the opportunity to take the lead with Magdal, that the nun princess should be in the saint Check the news in the hall.
