"Knight challenge?" The silver-haired girl put down her teacup and couldn't help but smile. It was also fortunate that the black knight could come up with such a trick to delay time, but she quickly sighed slightly. The princess couldn't help turning her head away and staring at the clean and bright French arch window in a daze.
Her gaze passed through the dust floating up and down in the sunlight slanting in from the tall window, and a trace of worry flashed in her pale silver-gray eyes—for the outcome of the war, she would rather lay down her own honor, or even give up being a knight. dignity. Is it for the black rose blooming in Bramanto? But what can gather people's hearts in a land that has been fighting for thousands of years, or what unknown changes are taking place in the dark kingdom on the opposite side.
The girl didn't expect that her accidental guess would become a reality. She turned her head back and was speechless with Overwell for a while.
"The common ancestor of the Eruin people, when the virtuous king Eke led the people to independence from Cruz, he was to resist the endless exploitation of the southern land by the empire. The foundation of our nation is to stop the arrogance and greed of the imperial nobles. ."
The princess said softly: "But today, the nobles among us have become greedy and arrogant. Have we lost the sense of self-motivated and the honor of defending justice, so that we have lost the ability to gather people's hearts?"
"The veteran dare not speak falsely, but although the nobles are rotten, at least the people still believe in the royal family." Overwell replied.
The girl nodded, feeling better.
Overwell looked at the girl, saw her thoughts, and continued to answer: "No matter how bad the soil is, new shoots can sprout. Your Royal Highness, the Kingdom training militias and formation of garrisons since King Anson X In order to plant the seeds, the young man I met was also able to give up his humiliation, indicating that Eruin’s younger generation is not much worse than Madara."
But neither the old nor the young knew that Brando was actually a member of the Highland Knights faction, and really had nothing to do with the royal family.
It's just that the princess couldn't help but think of what supported Brando to give up his honor. Isn't he a knight, how can the knight refuse the challenge of his opponent
…
What the future Princess Regent did not expect is that Brando is not a knight at all. The black knight Sasar didn’t expect it, so he could only die humiliatingly in the chaos—Brando ignored him at all. He only took the opponent off the horse with a sword when he passed the opponent, and then turned around—the two crossed each other. In a moment, the rising star of Eruin and the outstanding young generation of Madara saw each other's eyes.
What Brando saw was the pursuit of true honor and faith in the burning soul fire in the eyes of the Black Knight. He knew that a person could never be strong, but the hearts of tens of thousands of people gathered together would create one. A terrifying force, for thousands of years, it has only been a geographical concept, the'Brahmanto's blooming black rose' Madara is undergoing such a rising process at this moment.
That was a process that made the cold undead creature feel glorified and recognized from the inside, but unfortunately he was unable to participate, nor did he intend to participate in such a period of history.
Contrary to Brando, what Sasar saw on the ground was only the cold pragmatism in the eyes of the young human knight right away. Perhaps for young people who have experienced this period of history, all fantasies are no longer suitable—for the nobles. For the royal family, Brando is more willing to believe in his own power.
Even if you want to save Eruin, save the Valkyrie and everyone, you can only rely on himself.
Brando knows the future, but he also knows that no one wants to believe in this future. Therefore, he needs to become stronger and make his wings plump a little bit to make the world have to pay attention to his opinions. Compared with that, all other false names are nothing but clouds.
That black knight thought he could use a small trick to force him to change his mind
It's naive.
Brando looked back. Even on the battlefield, a knight's duel required a notary, both sides' deputies, a venue, and a series of etiquette and ceremonies. As long as he was not half crazy, he would definitely not agree to this absurd proposal. Perhaps in the eyes of people in this era, "knights" should choose to respect each other. Of course, this is a society that follows the spirit of classicism. Unfortunately, Brando is not just Brando — half of his soul represents another world.
fair competition
No, modern warfare is about unrestricted warfare, asymmetrical warfare.
So this created the biggest doubt that the black knight Sasar had before his death. When he saw the mercenaries swarming behind him inserting the shiny blades into his chest, he still couldn't stand his eyes: How could he refuse? Is he still a knight
The undead army has been defeated.
Brando held the reins to stop the horse from trotting a few steps, then turned the horse's head to see that everyone else looked at him with strange eyes. This is no wonder, after all, as a knight in this world, it is indeed a big thing to refuse to challenge. Although these mercenaries have rich combat experience, they are unavoidable from the influence of secular views.
But he raised his sword and said to others: "You may be wondering why I did not accept his challenge, but the truth is very simple. The challenge between knights stems from the mutual respect between the nobles, not from the mutual respect between the nobles. To launch a sacred challenge with a treacherous mind, this is a blasphemy against the provisions of the knight."
He added: "As for why I say that, think about it for yourself."
Everyone was stunned, but Leto, Fronta and others were still more or less puzzled. Brando looked at their expressions and continued: "Of course, these are all nonsense. To be more vulgar, no I’m not interested in participating in the betting game—"
This sentence clearly matched the appetite of these mercenaries. Many of them couldn't help but applaud, especially Mano nodded repeatedly, almost thinking Brando was his soulmate. However, the young man looked back and saw Renault still a bit suspicious, but he knew that he could only explain so much, let alone cover up.
In fact, he didn't need to conceal it, this night was so urgent, he didn't have time to sort out everything one by one. Just like now, he immediately made a gesture of tidying up the battlefield with the others-asking them to quickly pick up the trophies and clean the battlefield, and at the same time, he jumped off his horse and walked to the corpses of Sasar and the black warriors.
It’s time to collect the rewards—
The three black warriors had long been burned into a pile of white ash from the inside out, except for the armor and some small things they carried with them. These things look disgusting, but in the eyes of'players' like Brando, they are equivalent to loot.
He kicked open the empty breastplate-the black warriors are tall, and their armor is estimated to have to be refurbished once again before they can be transformed into suitable human wear, so this thing is worthless in his eyes now. But his goal is not this thing, but the magical items that the black warrior may carry with him.
It's a pity that the gain was not great. He only found a secondary snake-shaped ring with a rarity of'black iron' in a wreckage, which is also an alchemy item in the mouth of the aborigines of this world. +0.1 dexterity is better than nothing.
But Brando was not depressed. The biggest goal of his trip was not with these three black warriors. They were just appetizers. It was good enough to be rewarded. In fact, his biggest goal is the black knight, an elite creature of more than twenty ranks.
Brando walked towards Sasar, the black knight's half-body armor was suitable for him to use, but it was a pity that those mercenaries who didn't know how to cherish had opened several holes in the breastplate. After Brando saw it, he couldn't help cursing. These guys didn't know to think about their commander. Compared with Freya, the militia commander, he was not available as a knight commander.
However, Brando squatted down and opened the other party's pockets. The first thing he searched must be his pocket, because generally most of the spare magic items and magic amulets are placed in this place.
Brando's experience did not lose its effect, he found a serpentine statue and three magic amulets there as expected. Magic amulets are a good thing. According to legend, they were originally a mysterious item made by wizards in the northern ice forest of Vaughan. As long as you carry them, you will naturally get good luck—
However, this kind of magic item manufacturing technology gradually spread after the reign of Sanqiu and became an important magic item manufacturing technology. In the game, each magic amulet must be more rare than'bronze', because they have an important feature that they are not limited by the total amount of magic items carried-just like the three in Brando's hand.
The attributes of the three magic amulets are +1 life, +2 life, and +0.1 natural protection. It's the cheapest stall goods in this category, but at least it's better than nothing, isn't it
Brando put away the amulet and took a closer look at the serpentine statue. He immediately found that it was a poisoned amulet. Poison amulet is such a magical item, most of them are made by the druids in the forest, but some come from the hands of corpses, and as long as they are activated, they can release a poison on the blade ( 12Oz, losing life every minute gradually becomes weak).
This is not a good thing, but Brando couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What a sinister bastard, pretend to be a knight. Is a knight poisonous?" He couldn't help but think about himself. It's not an upright guy, otherwise the loss will be big.
He also put these things away. After all, his current identity is still a Highland Knight, and it would be a big problem if anyone who knows the goods sees that. The knight clauses in this world are very cumbersome. If it violates the knighthood, it will be cut off, and it will be on the stake. That's not a joke.
Then Brando turned over the opponent's corpse and checked his neck and hands—the parts most likely to contain magical items. But he saw neither the ring nor the necklace. Instead, he saw a frosty glass bracelet.
This certainly won't be a glass bracelet.
"Elemental Bracelet!" Brando was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled the thing from the black knight's corpse. Although the element bracelet is only a'bronze' level equipment, it can't stand the high energy level. The lowest level element bracelet known by Brando is at least 25Oz or more, and the properties of this thing are also super practical.
It can be accompanied by a certain amount of elemental damage for melee or long-range physical attacks. The incidental damage depends on the energy level of the elemental bracelet itself. Like a 25Oz elemental bracelet, it can carry at least 4 to 4 elemental damage.
You must know that in the previous life, the damage of the thorn of clear light was only 9-9 without doubling.
Brando suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. This thing was once expensive to the same price as the ancient magic item of the rare grade of "Silver". It was one of his hopeless equipment in its hottest season.
Attack is life for the early physics profession.
It's a pity that this bracelet is a level twentieth or higher equipment, Brando can only look at it to relieve greed. He carefully put this thing in his backpack, and the degree of attention is estimated to be comparable to that of the thorn of clear light.
It's even gone.
After all, the thorn of azure light is just an excessive long sword, its sharpness and hardness are not enough to withstand the use of swordsmen above the black iron middle position, Brando has actually thought of a substitute for the wizard sword in his heart, but The plan has not been put into action yet.
But the element bracelets are different. There are two bracelet positions. Brando thinks that it is difficult to find a better substitute before reaching the fortieth level, and the fortieth level is at least the strength level of the silver upper stage.
After collecting these important trophies and confirming that there was nothing missing from Sasar, Brando took a breath and stood up. The harvest of this battle is really rich. In addition to a total of 770 points of experience, the equipment he obtained almost doubled his total equipment energy level.
Especially the start of element bracelets is unexpectedly good news.
If you can get the element ring and another bracelet, and get a set of pure attack outfits, Brando is even confident to run to find the trouble of the black dragon young dragon entrenched in the Avenue of Needle Falls in Vieiro before the 30th level. —After all, the Dragon Kingdom map is a huge temptation for any player in the game before, and Brando is no exception.
Thinking of the beauty, he couldn't help blowing the blade of the thorn of clear light, as if he had already won the treasure of the dragon.
Of course, there is still an insurmountable distance between reality and fantasy, and he certainly won't be overwhelmed. Soon a mercenary came to clean up the corpses around him. The young man turned his head and found that most of the people present had gained something — Leto, Mano and others were also knowledgeable people, and their targets were those The corpse witch, after all, even one or two alchemy items are very obvious for the improvement of personal strength.
No one hates the increase in personal strength.
After cleaning the battlefield, Brando looked at the time, and forty-five minutes had passed since the battle began. The work progress of the self-defense regiment over there is similar. He couldn’t help but look at the surrounding hills. The gargoyle can only detect one direction. Madara’s skeletal cavalry may be nearby at any time at this point in time. They must hurry. Time is up.
After the war began, the team of refugees has been moving forward under the leadership of a few backbones. There was a gargoyle who opened the way for them. Brando was not worried about what trouble the refugees would encounter. Now he just wants to find Freya, and then Bring others to catch up.
At least so far his plan has been implemented relatively smoothly, and the rest is hide-and-seek with Madara.
Of course, there is still the moment waiting for the constellation of the King of Knights to appear in the sky.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help taking out the white deer statue and looking up at the dark sky.

【Note】:
Some explanations about equipment energy levels:
The total energy level of an individual carrying magical items is determined by his own total magic coordination power, and the calculation formula is:
Basic (20) + Willpower x10 + Total Level x5 (The unit is also Oz)
For example: Brando has a total of 17 total levels and 2.9 energy levels of will, so he can carry equipment with mana coordination equal to 134Oz (calculation formula: 20+2.9x10+17x5).
Among the equipment he carried and worked on, the Thorns of Light and the Ring of Behind the Wind each accounted for 20Oz, the protective gloves 5Oz, the maintenance of the Gargoyle amulet and the soul statue (white deer) each required 7Oz, plus a total of 3Oz ghouls. The necklace and the secondary snake ring total 62Oz.
