A beetle was slowly climbing up the smooth surface of the hourglass. The barbs on its feet did nothing on the glass. After trying several times, it grabbed the wooden support pole of the hourglass and climbed up. As soon as he climbed to the top, he was fiddled with by a white finger. It flapped its wings angrily and made a rustling sound, but reluctantly fell back to the walnut tabletop, turned around twice, turned over and started repeating the previous actions.
The windows were dazzling, and emerald green leaves hung from the edge of the window. Downstairs, Mrs. Camille was trimming the flowering branches of the bushes. The flowerbeds in the courtyard were left over from the Grudin period, but Mrs. Camille was Antti Tina is a senior aristocratic courtroom specially hired from Ampersel. His wife is not used to Tonigel’s hot climate, but she praises Miss Antitina’s character and thinks she is a hundred miles away. The real demure lady in her, her etiquette style is no less than that of a princess of the country, and it is very likely that she has taken a fancy to such a master, this proud lady is willing to nod and agree to go to the poor country led by the firs.
"Brando, you... You really didn't blame me, did you?" In the study, Alorz's rare — it can even be said to be a rare low eyebrow looking at Brando pleasingly, and a tall man with white hair on the side The male looked at this scene inexplicably surprised. When did this female tyrannosaurus have such a meek side in his memory? Among the three major scourges of the Dragon Clan, Aloz will be at the top of the list. If she is passed on as she is now, I am afraid no one will believe him. He felt that this must be an illusion, or the sun outside today was too big and it dazzled his eyes.
It’s strange to say that after the end of summer, the temperature did not drop but rose. The weather has been hot by one day recently, as if it has returned to the hottest days in the midsummer.
It hasn't rained for more than two weeks.
"Lord Lord, Miss Aloz is not to blame for this matter, it is my negligence." Metis said quietly aside.
Brando glanced at the little silver elf princess. He knew in his heart that this incident was mostly the negligence of the little dragon. She used the star-shaped stone as a stool at the time. Later, when she went to save people, she completely forgot about it. Most of Medissa didn't notice it, and even let Anlek seize the opportunity. Now that Qian disappeared in the explosion, the little mother dragon was worried all day long, but Brando did not expect that she would care about her attitude so much, which made him a little angry. In fact, he was not worried about Qian. When the star-shaped stone exploded, Milos's myth appeared and protected everyone present in time. The father of the frost giant also confirmed that the mountain girl was not buried in the explosion.
If the words of a deity are not enough to trust, then the lack of Azure Spear in the ruins later proved the same fact from the side. The question now is where Akane has disappeared, but this is not the main problem. Few of Eruin's strength can beat her, so Brando is not very worried about what will happen to the mountain girl. If according to Milos, she did not die in the big blast, it was probably delayed because of something. Now the knights and mercenaries sent out from the territory and Lantonilan to find someone also set off. The Dead Frost Forest is nearby. In such a big place, now that the explosion has already hit the ground, I believe there will be news coming back soon.
Although he is still very worried about Akane's state, he is not yet furious because of this incident.
But what he really troubled was the death of Anlek.
Once Anlek died, the news of his being the dragon of darkness could not be concealed. This incident was always a hidden danger for him. Now he really wants to know who is in charge of Anlek, but he wants to get away from it. It is obviously impossible to find that person out of the crowd. He glanced at the small female dragon with low eyebrows. The man next to Aloz was also a giant dragon. It is said that he came to catch her from the Huilong clan. He was imprisoned because of the fact that this guy was suspected of cheating in an exam. This was also her fault. But it is indeed pitiful enough.
He couldn't help shook his head and replied softly: "Nothing, how long will you go back this time?"
If he remembers correctly, the Dragon Clan’s confinement is based on hundreds of years. If Aloz commits too serious things, and if he is confined for hundreds of years, wouldn’t it be that his relationship with the Dragon Clan is completely wasted? .
"It's probably going to be three hundred years away." The little mother dragon started to replied with a frown, but soon regained her energy, and replied grinningly: "But it doesn't matter, they can't hold me, I'll be able to run out soon. "
Brando almost didn't get scared to death. He glanced at the white-haired man. Fortunately, the latter looked at the sky with both eyes, as if I hadn't heard anything. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why this guy looked like this, it was mostly related to the little female dragon. He couldn't help but glared at the latter, saying that you want to escape and get out of prison, don't say it in public. what. Even if you are not afraid, what if others think that I am conspiring with you? In case the dragon race came to ask the teacher, Valhalla would be ten times stronger than it is now.
Seeing his look, Aloz rolled his eyes immediately, which meant: "I know, it's true!"
Then the little dragon wailed for a while, and said a few words that are not painful or itchy, in short, "You can't forget me!" "I'll be back soon!" things like, and then It was finally taken away by the white-haired man. Then Medissa also said quietly. The words seemed to mention that Veronica wanted to see him. Brando knew that the female army commander was about to rush back to the empire. This time The task was successfully completed for her, but what is strange is that Brando has often seen a worried look on the opponent's face recently. He nodded in response, and soon there were only two in the house again. personal.
After the study was quiet, Brando turned his eyes out of the window again.
A row of bushes is separated from the flower bed. Next to the stables, Kuran is staring at the people who are grooming the Enlek horses of two tall horses. The dappled sunlight falls through the dense branches of oak trees on the gray uniform of the old swordsman. It makes him look like a retired old colonel, but the princess intends to hide the news that Dnell will do it. The people below Brando know that Cullan may already know what, although He didn't say anything, but he also seemed a little discouraged. After all, on the one hand, he is his loyal kingdom, on the other hand, his old master. His position in the castle is getting closer and closer to an old housekeeper, and Brando can also help. This old swordsman's temperament was due to his grandfather's relationship on the one hand, and also because he himself actually regarded Kuran more as Tonigel's guest than his subordinate.
A little further away is the white wall of Firwood Castle. It is covered with creepers and looks green. There is a staircase leading to the walkway on the wall. There are several guards on patrol. The female wall and crenels are arranged outside the walkway. These defenses are connected with towering arrow towers at the corners. The crossbowman's dazzling helmet gleamed at the door of the arrow tower, and a crossbowman seemed to be leaning on the door frame and bragging with his colleagues.
Outside the city wall, is a main street in Fir City, but the thatched huts on both sides of the street have now been demolished, and a more solid and beautiful wood and stone permanent building has been built. The figures on the white street are fascinating, as small as ants. A little further away, there are only patches of red roofs, and the tree canopies of the arbor are staggered in between, like clumps of parsley in the city.
Brando watched this scene, and the boredom in his heart finally dissipated, and a sense of accomplishment gradually rose. If Fir City was indeed a shabby country place a year ago, but now at least there is a real city. a feeling of. At least he has been to Brunoson and Maggie Tan. Compared with these top cities in the south, Fir Tree City has the same urban style and even more prosperous, and these changes, even in the game, have never been seen. He had brought it personally. Of course, he also understands that it is not him who actually created all of this with his own hands, but Antitina and Roman-to be precise, a certain merchant lady who is still a little unfocused is more in this heavy contribution. Important location.
It was she who personally proposed the entire revival plan, and then personally brought Tonigel the prosperous business today. Today, the link from Grieshamn to Ampersel connects the entire north, and countless merchant ships sail on this channel every day. Under the care of the Shining Naga, this channel has become the entire Eruin in the past six months. One of the safest waterways, because it has a reputation among various chambers of commerce. The agreement between him and Queen Hanlu has not yet been revealed in military and political terms, but it has been the first to sniff the opportunity for businessmen, which is not surprising, because they are the most sensitive group of people in human history.
A steady stream of cargo is being transported to Firland through this channel today, and then transferred from Fir City to the trade wind ring. Don't worry that these cargoes won't find a place to go. The Black Forest is a truly fertile land waiting to be developed. In just two months, the students and subordinates recalled by Master Bo Lu from various places explored two or three mineral deposits in the forest, including silver, gold, copper and even mithril. There are also the best forest farms there. Countless prey, various precious plants, fertile soil with thousands of years of humic deposits. In the past, this forest stopped the pioneers due to the harsh environment and terrifying monsters, but now, the fire of order in the center of the trade wind ring has been ignited. With the entire Kalanga Mountains as the center, order is becoming stable again. , The druids and tree elves also joined Brando’s chariot, opening the last door for the Eruins.
Materials shipped from the entire north are accelerating to turn these buried treasures into reality. Merchant ships gathered in the port carry them back from the same way, and then turn them into the manpower, technology and magic that Brando urgently needs. Industrial resources. This is like a waterway flowing with gold, and everyone on this waterway now benefits from it. As long as they have the strength or wisdom, he can get what he wants from it, because they have a generous person. The fiancée of your lord.
All this is the credit of Roman. Although it is not possible to arrange Tonigel’s spring plowing and autumn planting festival in an orderly manner without Antitina, the somewhat confused merchant lady, at least this prosperous business scene and the city’s She was always overcrowded, the hotel filled with merchants, and the shadow of sails in the harbor, all of which she had negotiated for a deal. From the earliest days of nothing, to persuade the trust of the Chamber of Commerce with empty mouths and white teeth, from a sailing ship to Port Gris and leaving with loads of goods, it was all done by this little girl who seemed to be a little uncomfortable on weekdays. Into.
Brando himself rarely cares about this aspect of things, but he suddenly felt that he was very lucky, because it seemed that all of a sudden, all this appeared in front of him. He didn't worry a bit, the merchant lady had arranged for him properly. Now that Tonigel's everything is on the right track, everyone else thinks that he will have to wait until he gets the land of Dnell to show off his ambitions, but they don't know that Eruin's future has already been spread out in front of him.
The little girl who was by his side from the very beginning drew the most important blueprint for him.
He couldn't help but go to see Roman. The merchant lady was retracting her white onion-like fingers, holding her face, her slick eyes staring straight, watching with interest the chafer climbing up again. When it climbed to the apex again, she got it down again, repeating this several times, as if she was enjoying it. The merchant lady wore a noble dress, but she sat on the long-backed chair with her back curled up, and she wrinkled her sleeves. She succeeded in putting the lady's attire into the effect of a country girl.
If Mrs. Camille saw her like this, she would have to sigh and shake her head again. In fact, Brando knew that she once thought that Antitina was his fiancée, but fortunately the lady of the staff went to settle the misunderstanding in person. , He still remembers Mrs. Camille's weird look. Although Brando didn't feel any fear even when facing a real god, the surprised look of the old-fashioned old lady made him retreat and escaped. It is said that it should be his in this world. Retreat without a fight for the first time.
Brando sat side by side with the merchant lady, because sitting so close, he could almost feel the other's body temperature, and there was a scent of a girl on the tip of his nose, and he felt a little emotional, as if thinking What happened, subconsciously put his hand around Roman's waist. Miss Merchant’s waist was light and fluttering, so thin that she could hold it with a full grip. She seemed to feel Brando’s sudden emotions. She looked back at him and smiled, not revealing it, but kicking it comfortably. Then he turned around and fiddled with the poor chafer.
Brando was thinking about some messy things, but suddenly realized that although Roman likes to care about the whereabouts of every copper when dealing with merchants, she is not stingy with the money in her hands. In fact, she is not only talking about it seriously. It's incredible to be generous to anyone when doing business. He turned his head to ask this question. The merchant lady didn't know how many times the scarab was pulled off the hourglass, and she answered naturally:
"Talking about business is like going to the battlefield. You have to compare the baht and baht, but you need to keep your eyes on the long-term investment. You can't get a good harvest if you care about it."
Brando was startled, as if he was a little surprised: "Who told you this, and it was your aunt?"
"That's not true. Auntie doesn't do business. I figured it out by myself. How about it? Isn't it great?"
Brando can only sigh, this is probably the so-called talent. However, Roman's eyes flashed, and he just became proud, and suddenly he was a little disappointed: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, Brando, you said to help me find my aunt, but there is no news yet."
It's okay for Roman not to say it. Brando burned badly when he said that. There is no news, it's just that he didn't even look for it. In fact, before Roman mentioned this, he almost forgot about such a person. After all, Aunt Jenny was like Brando’s family in this world. There was always a barrier to him. Like a character in the background, although he was asked to go to Bucher to inquire about it, it was just that, in fact, even Antitina hadn't told it. Later, Buche responded to the news, saying that there was no clue, and the matter was gone from then on.
After all, he has too much to do. Half a year ago, he almost devoted himself to pulling Eruin back from the trajectory of doom. The time was so tight that he was so nervous that he almost didn't even have time to breathe. , Let alone find someone.
But thinking about it now, thinking about what Roman did for him, he looked at the mercantile lady's face that had no thoughts in front of him, and he was really ashamed.
"There will be news soon. Eruin is this old, and your aunt must be looking for your whereabouts. Now that you are so famous, we can find her as long as we pay attention to it." He squeezed. Roman's face comforted.
Roman chuckled, squinted and smiled like a little fox.
"Gluck, Brando, you are guilty."
"Ahem," Brando blushed. He almost forgot that although the merchant lady had no scheming, her instincts were terribly sensitive. And the point is, she really didn't save him face at all, he couldn't help looking at this guy a little bit angry. But unexpectedly the latter raised his head seriously, shook his head vigorously and said: "In fact, there is nothing, Brando has a great goal, and Roman also has a great goal. When I talked about my goal before, that I'm afraid that even Freya would giggle, but only Brando, you believe I can do it, you never laughed at me—"
"Brando can tolerate Roman's goals, so Roman can also tolerate Brando's goals."
"Brando, do you know, my aunt said, the ideal of a mortal is like the stars in the summer night, it looks out of reach, bright and dazzling, but if we dare to reach out, then we will definitely catch the starlight in our hands, because The starry summer night belongs to everyone who looks up at the starry sky."
Brando looked at Roman’s eyes blankly, as if the bright eyes were really reflecting the bright starry sky of Buche that night. He once thought that this little girl who was not very tuned had been following him since Buche, for These things I did were only based on her preferences, because it was like Roman's character. For those close to her, she always didn't ask right or wrong. But he never thought, she really always believed that he could do it, as she said-it was the stars in the summer night sky, but as long as you reach out to catch it, you will definitely catch the great starlight in your hand.
Even if the star he wants is the most dazzling one in the night sky.
"Do you know what I want to do, little Roman?" he asked suddenly.
Roman nodded seriously and replied word by word.
"I know, Brando, you want to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin and become Eruin's true King."
"puff-"
…
