Passing through the rain and misty woodland, Brando met Wood accompanied by Freya. This was the second time he had seen the chief priest of the Temple of Flame since he was in Ampersel. Seeing Mephistopheles standing beside Wood, Brando hurriedly saluted: "Teacher."

Although St. Ossor told him that he was in the wake of the wind, Mephistopheles also taught him a lot of practical skills. In name, they also have the status of a teacher and a student. The Elf Sister does not object to this.

Wood glanced at Mephistopheles in a little surprise, "So that's it, you accepted a good student."

"indeed."

Brando raised his head and saw several Templar knights in red robes behind them. He couldn't help narrowing his eyes to figure out Wood's intention. However, Wood suffered a big loss in the name of Tulaman, and Brando would never forget this lesson.

Seeing Brando’s expression, the chief priest of the Temple of Flame smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Mr. Brando has a deep prejudice against me." He suppressed his surprise, and Williams brought ten saints. The Knights of the Temple, even if the Konoria fleet is blocked by the Royal Fleet of Eruin, it will not be completely destroyed immediately, not to mention the White Wing Knights assisted, but what he saw was Cruz, who was restrained and dejected. People, and the White Wing Knights flag thrown into the mud.

I don't know if the temple has been too coveted for a long time, or its enemies are too strong, Wood looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was deeply disturbed.

"The master priest knows the proverb of elves, "everything does its own thing," Brando replied.

"Haha," Wood smiled bitterly, "So the bitter fruit I planted at the beginning, I will taste it today. But Mr. Brando knows in his heart that this is not a prejudice, the temple always needs a stable Eruin."

"So you chose the nobleman in the north?" Brando was aggressive, even raising his eyebrows. Wood was right. From the point of view of the Cruz people, he didn’t have to put himself in the position of the enemy. He didn’t have that kind heart. , Must honor the glory. The Sifah royal family has long lost their throne. After the Okisi brothers and sisters lost the Lionheart Sword, everyone knew about it. The nobles vowed to abdicate Hessian I. He promised his heirs not to covet the throne anymore, so Eluin has no second heir today except Prince Haruze."

"I admit that the temple was ill-conceived in this matter, and Murros went too far on his own. I couldn't stop him." Wood replied with a sigh.

This guy, Brando watched as Wood buckled a shit bowl on the head of Muros who was already dead. Wood and Williams are not the same, they are a typical pragmatist, but the other party's saying that is already a concession. This made him feel a little alert, because the Temple of Flames compromised almost unnecessary.

He stared at Wood warily.

The chief priest of the Temple of Flames smiled bitterly again: "You don't have to doubt, I am here instead of Temple of Flames to request peace from Princess Griffin."

"Ah." Freya behind Brando couldn't help but let out a soft whisper.

Brando was really surprised this time. Is it just for the Konoria fleet, but isn't the face of the empire more important than a local fleet? If the Cruz people really think so, it would be a terrible opponent. But Brando thought of another possibility, "Williams is dead."

"He died in your hands?" Wood was startled.

"Exactly." Brando nodded. This is a secret that can't be covered. Besides, Mephistopheles is on the side, and he is not worried that the Cruz people will turn their faces and deny them.

The chief priest of the Temple of Flame remained silent, "This is indeed a trouble," he muttered to himself, "but Williams has a grumpy temper and an aloof personality. It is not unreasonable that he will die in his own way."

"What?" Brando almost thought he had heard it wrong.

"Brando, the Cruz people don’t have the time to bite people everywhere. Just like the dog that fell into the mud puddle to fight for bones, they cannot protect themselves. But we also have a problem, but you can tell them now. Conditions." Mephistopheles finally spoke, and when he spoke, the knight behind Wood turned at him glaringly.

"Unable to help themselves?"

"Mr. Brando, I hope the princess will give up pursuing the Conoria fleet." Wood said.

"It's impossible," Brando refused violently, but he paused and asked, "What about the conditions?"

Wood smiled, and as he expected, the real mastermind behind the princess was this young man. But what makes him feel uneasy is that the other party and him are the same kind of people, and the temple is afraid that it will bleed greatly this time. "We can let the nobles in the north surrender Amperthel."

"Do you mean that we still have to live in peace with these usurpers? After annihilating the Konoria fleet, we can also take advantage of the momentum to go north."

Wood already knows the way people like Brando behave. They must have considered the result before issuing such an order. Therefore, he will not use the flame temple's revenge to intimidate him by intimidating. It is meaningless to do so. He considered for a moment, and said: "As you said, the Corcovado royal family should continue to hold the throne, but there are still many nobles in the north, and it will take time to calm their suspicions. It is better for Eruin to be able to reunify peacefully than confrontation. ."

Brando looked at the chief priest of the Flame Temple in surprise. He heard his overtones. Wood meant to recognize the orthodoxy of the Corcovado royal family, so that the North would have no de facto support. , The kingdom’s civil strife died out.

But this is too easy. Will the temple compromise so thoroughly? It is not that the remaining forces in the north do not have the strength to fight the princess, even if it fails, the Cruz people can be stubborn. Or that this was another trap, he couldn't help but deeply doubt it.

"Mr. Brando, you don't have to suspect this time and another deception. I will tell you the reason, and you will understand it just by listening. The reason is actually Murros."

"Murros?"

"You should know that he killed Princess Magdal."

"No, wait," Brando suddenly reacted, thinking of a terrible possibility. "Isn't Princess Magdal breaking through your secrets to be wiped out?"

Wood's face was a little ugly. "How could the temple do such a thing, not to mention that she didn't know the plan of the temple from the beginning to the end. The transfer of Williams from the main hall and the request for reinforcements from the empire were just temporary intentions after I read the letter from Muros. Except for Murros himself, no outsider knows about it."

"In other words, what is the secret that your Royal Highness broke through?"

"I'm afraid that's the case," Wood said with a solemn face. "Mr. Brando, Murros is probably the lurker who turns everything into one."

"Ah!" Brando couldn't help but cried out. "So you opened the flames of the Temple of Flames in the Port of Amperisel?" He saw that Wood was looking at him seriously, and he understood that there was no need to say anything else.

At that moment Brando felt as if a basin of cold water poured down his head.

The situation is serious.

He finally understood why Wood had come to him for peace. It turned out that the whole thing was a huge conspiracy. If Merros was a spy for the Unity of All Things, then he had known for a long time that the Temple of Flame would place the Flames in Amperisel, and he might even be guided by him, because the purpose of the Unity of All Things is those The door of flame.

The Flame Gate is a huge teleportation array, the core of the teleportation array specifies the target of the teleportation, but the teleportation array itself has no wisdom, as long as it is slightly modified, it can be used to connect to other places.

For example, the devil’s lair, the river of sulfur.

Brando suddenly felt a horror.

Brando, Roman said that she found a trap and she was going to help you. At the beginning, this was the first word Antitina brought him when they met. He thought she was talking about the trap of the temple and was angry with her childishness, but at this moment he suddenly realized that the merchant lady might have known what she was facing—she knew the conspiracy he didn't know.

Brando felt extremely uneasy for the first time, and even had a certain idea that he might lose the lovely person who was never afraid of him and stood by him forever.

Once this thought arises, it can't be suppressed, making him stand in the rain curtain and feel his body getting colder and colder. From Butcher, Brando knew that at least one person in the world would be with him forever. He could pinch her face unscrupulously, say she was a fool, and she would raise his eyebrows and raise her eyes at him. Petty.

But he will never forget the agreement, what she said to him that night.

"Why don't you go there?" The merchant lady seemed to be sitting on the rock, holding her bag in her hands on the knees of her leather skirt, a pair of round-toed leather shoes swaying back and forth in the air.

"They don't like me again."

"why?"

"My aunt and I are weird people in their eyes. Besides, there are ordinary girls who want to be businessmen. So it's normal not to please."

"I haven't seen them. Since I can remember, my aunt has been by my side. My aunt said, "Little Roman, I have to repay my aunt when I grow up!"

"That's why you want to be a businessman?"

"Yep."

"What a strange idea."

"It's ok-"

From that moment, he knew that he was deeply in love with that weird girl. Because they have some similar qualities, he is not a weird person in the eyes of others, but they both have the same pursuit.

She wants to become a big businessman, and he wants to save Eruin in his heart. These are all weird goals that ordinary people can't imagine, but it doesn't matter—

As long as the agreement is made.

"Brando, Roman, she..." Freya also reacted. This simple-minded girl from the countryside of Butcher even worried about her best partner earlier than Brando.

But Brando gave her a relieved look, although his heart was also cold, "Master Wood, do you think everything will be able to control those flames for a while?" He asked with the last fluke.

"Mr. Brando, there is no need to guess. We have lost them before we rushed here. The Return of All Things will connect them to the underground of Qiaogendigang. You should know what it is."

"The river of sulfur," Brando replied gritted his teeth. "So what should I do, order to stop pursuing the Konoria fleet, and then turn around to fight the demons of Qiaogendigang, here, on the land of Eruin?" He couldn't help but yelled, "Look at you guys." Good job, Cruz’s bastard! What a shit of Flame Temple!"

This was the first time Freya saw Brando making such a big fire, and her face turned pale with fright. The last time she was in Ridenburg, but she was not there.

"Good scolding," Mephistopheles replied, "That's a bit of a man."

Wood was speechless, it was an indisputable fact that the Temple of Flame—even the four major temples were infiltrated by cultists. It's just that the situation has never exceeded their expectations like today, this time the Temple of Flame has really lost a big face. Even bigger than the Cruz fleet defeated by Brando. "We will fight alongside you." He could only say that.

Brando snorted slightly, he didn't trust these Cruz people at all. If he knew that Murros was the lurker who turned everything into one, he might have guessed the other party's plan the first moment he saw those portals. It's a pity that Merros missed this opportunity in history, and there was no war in Ampersel, and the Cruz people did not build the Flame in Eruin until after his tenure.

Later Muros returned to Cruz, Brando also went north to Saint Osor and Faenza, and then some news about the Temple of Flame gradually faded from his memory.

And he never missed the opportunity to identify Murros.

"Okay," Brando said at last: "I will persuade Her Royal Highness to give up pursuing the Konoria fleet, but you must also persuade the Northern Allied Forces to join our camp. If the situation is allowed to develop, near Ampersel What kind of situation will happen, Master Master, you know better than me."

He pointed to Wood again and said: "I hope the priest will remember what I said today, otherwise you will regret your previous words and deeds."

Brando's heart was burning with anger, but now he only worried about the safety of the merchant lady, if Roman had a little damage in Ampersel, he would definitely make the Temple of Flame pay for it.

This is by no means an empty intimidation.

When he turned around, Wood vaguely heard Brando muttering, "I hope that the number of demon army sent by all things will not be too much." The chief priest of the Temple of Flame seemed to take a moment to react.

Does this young man seem to know too much
