The fog parted the sea, and a protruding headland gradually appeared in front of the sea. A ray of light passed through the diffuse mist and shone on the side of the Bisca. The sailor on the deck recognized it as a navigation light, and hurriedly raised the sail. The chief mate issued a horn to make the helmsman turn the rudder. At the same time, while waiting for the pilot boat to approach, the captain Dai Lin was wearing a wet suit with a pipe in his hand. Standing behind the third mast in his windbreaker, squinted his eyes, turned his head, winked at a sailor next to him, the sailor hurriedly ran down the deck, and went straight to the third deck of the cabin.
The front is Greywind Harbor.
When Viscount Bernie got the news, he immediately notified Baba and Boymer. In fact, the two had already judged this information from the sailors running around in the aisle. At this moment, fist-sized rats were running around in the cabin aisle. Go, but no one cares about these unwelcome uninvited passengers during the voyage. Several cabin doors are opened, and the wind and waves brought in from the deck flow in backwards like a waterfall along the stairs, with a smell of sea. The nose came, and there was a mess under the cabin.
Viscount Bernie led Babaen and Boymer against the sailors who rushed out. All three of them were silent and calm, as if they were an expression carved in a mold. The three of them walked to the wooden door at the bottom of the cabin, which was locked by an iron chain. Viscount Bernie turned his head and exchanged a wink with his two empire colleagues. He took out the key from his coat, and the key on the iron ring crashed. There was a bang, he grabbed the lock and opened it with a click. After the chain lost its restraint, it fell like a dead snake into the stagnant water in the aisle, but the three of them didn't even look at it and pushed open the door.
Behind the door is an unused warehouse, with many empty barrels and wooden boxes stacked outside, but at the very end, there is a whole piece of golden crystal covered by a curtain. Viscount Bernie looked at the black curtain with the corner already immersed in the water, and asked, "Are you ready." Baba and Boymo nodded together.
The fleet had to cross the Longhorn Strait to enter the Silver Bay controlled by the Earth Temple. Although the naval power of the Earth Temple was almost negligible in front of the Empire, Viscount Bernie did not dare to take this risk and chose a more secure land route— Landing from Greywind Harbor, crossing the Black Blade and returning to the empire—this journey will take about a week. After returning to the empire, it will take a month to go to Ruschta, but it is much less risky than taking it at sea. At present, the northern part of Eru is still dominated by the kingdom’s traditional aristocracy, and the empire is still very influential in these areas. Thinking about this, Viscount Bernie could not help but sigh the bad influence brought about by the Battle of Amperel, or the Cecil family. His fault, how could the Empire completely lose its control over the southern border of Eruin. What lay in front of him right now is the last pass of the Royal Eruin in the north, the home port of the First Royal Fleet, Greywind Harbor. The port officer has been bought out, but how can such a big piece be bought without attracting attention? The disembarkation of the crystal is a troublesome problem.
It is best to break the crystal to get the people and the gun out, but he tried it with his saber a few days ago. The magical sword bounced off before it hit the crystal surface and broke into three pieces. It took him thousands of Cruz gold coins to buy his silver-tier long sword from a little nobleman. He also used some methods. Unexpectedly, before it came to use, he died before he was ready. He didn’t have time to heartache. Although the hardness of the crystal was beyond his expectations, he still had hope. Boymer had already told him. Baba En took his family’s silver dragon throat and said fantasy weapon Maybe he could break the surface of the crystal. He approached Baba. The latter hesitated at first, seeming to be worried about hurting the woman inside, but Viscount Bernie sneered at this. If they can successfully complete this task, wait. Back in the empire, status and women, nothing? It just so happens to be obsessed with a mountain woman.
Fortunately, Baba didn't look too rigid, and after some persuasion, he finally nodded in agreement. At this moment, he turned his head and looked at each other. Baba didn't seem to hesitate. Ever since he took out the silver crossbow and started to hit the arrow, then he raised the crystal that covered the curtain. Viscount Bernie nodded with some appreciation, thinking. This is a successful person, not procrastinating, compared with him, that Boymer is much worse, too timid. Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the latter. At this time Boymer seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurried up to lift the curtain. Viscount Bernie couldn’t help but sigh when he saw this. This guy’s doing so was equivalent to He has already placed himself in the weakest position among the three. In the future, his credit will certainly not be the first one. In fact, he and Baba's chances should be the same. This is that character determines destiny.
Babaen raised his crossbow, slammed the trigger, and a silver light shot onto the crystal's smooth surface. Before everyone could react, the silver streamer suddenly reversed at a speed of thousands of times and penetrated Babaen's crossbow. His right arm smashed his right hand bones, and then the silver light penetrated Babaen’s chest like a swimming fish, pierced out from behind him, and nailed it to the wooden board behind the cabin with a sound The bloody tail feathers were still buzzing and shaking.
Babaen opened his mouth stunned, his light blue eyes showed hopelessness and unwillingness. He stared at the girl who was sleeping like a princess in the crystal, and then kept this expression on his back like a piece of wood. Falling down, "Wa" fell into the water, splashing a splash of water, and following the stagnant water in the cabin, layers of light red color were fainted. All this happened so suddenly, Boymer was almost shocked, Viscount Bernie's face was gloomy, he raised his head and glanced at the crystal-there was not even a trace of flaw on the surface of the crystal. "What are you doing in a daze, help Sir Babaen out!" He gritted his teeth and reprimanded. "Help, where do you go?" Boyimer was pale, he wanted to say-Baba En was obviously dead!
Viscount Bernie glanced at him with hatred for iron and steel, and said in a deep voice, "Sir Baba died as a martyr. Do you want his body to be soaked in the water?"
Boymer was stunned, and quickly grabbed Babaen's shoulders and dragged him out of the water and into the cabin. "Don't, stop!" When Viscount Bernie saw Boymer wanting to take Babaen's body back to the lower class, he called to stop him. He almost wanted to stab the fool with a sword: "Don't take him back, take him Go to the first class with his body, are you a stupid pig?” At this time, a sailor passed by the body of Baba and Boymer on the side. He glanced at the two people strangely, then came to Viscount Bernie and asked in a low voice. Said: "Your Excellency, the port has sent someone to ask us to park outside a chain of land and prepare to be inspected."
"Tell them that this is the embassy fleet of the Cruz Empire and they will not accept inspections by other countries. In addition, they are asked to prepare doctors or priests, saying that some of us died in the fight against pirates, and we need to arrange a decent funeral. He did not do it. Anti-corruption measures, we can't leave the warriors of the empire on the land of a foreign country, go, just answer them like this." Viscount Bernie replied lightly.
The sailor was startled slightly: "Fight against the pirates?" But he glanced at Boymer and Baba, suddenly suddenly, nodded quickly, and ran out.
"Wait," Viscount Bernie called the sailor at the top of the stairs: "Go and prepare a box."
"Box, your lord, how big is the box?" The sailor asked, standing barefoot in the rushing water on the stairs. "It's a big box for horses." "That kind of box isn't available on the ship, you can only find the port to make preparations." "Then tell them that we have captured a gift for Her Majesty and ask them to help. Prepare." "Is that all right, Lord Viscount?" "That's it, go." Viscount Bernie nodded, and when the sailor ran up to the deck, he turned his head and glanced at the huge crystal one last time. , I couldn't help but flashed a thought:
"Could it be that only an artifact can open this thing?"
…
It has been two days since Frofa left without saying goodbye, during which Princess Magdal woke up once. Brando was waiting in New Valhalla for the young people of the Knights of Folding Swords and the eldest son of the Cruze to arrive, but it seemed that Veronica wanted There are many things to explain, and she and Mangrove have yet to set off from Port Gris. The information from north to south was piled up on his desk in the Hall of the Valhalla Tree. Most of the information was on the surface. Brando read a few of them, and it was written about the northern nobles. Several of them mentioned that Earl Jean Dernell had completed his mobilization work. Someone witnessed an army set off from the Magitan area to the south, and the long-prepared war in the south was imminent.
Lantonilan and Vieiro’s coalition forces are heading south. As for the direction of the march, the direction of the march is still kept secret. Brando raised his head and looked at the Eruin map hung on the wall. Judging from the above, this army should have entered this area. And let Denel and the blood rod know nothing about their future and destiny, do not understand what is waiting in front of them, and now this war is only waiting for an opportunity, this opportunity is when Tonigel's army was launched. Day, but Brando is also waiting for the arrival of a time node, before this time node, he will never act rashly.
Some other news mentioned Buche's changes in the direction of the undead. These were all within Brando's expectations, and even sent less intelligence than he knew. Tonigel’s intelligence system was built on Tonigel’s first group of adventurers and a group of people from the Red Bronze Dragon Mercenary Corps. After several screenings of Tonigel’s foreign wars, the remaining elite Most of Ying is loyal and reliable to him, but his abilities are still slightly weaker. Among them, the direction of Amperisel is the best, and the north will be a little less. As for the news of Madara and Cruz, it is purely to catch the wind.
But Eruin’s civil war is no longer the most difficult enemy to stand in front of him. On the contrary, the shadow of the undead in the south prevails day by day. That is Eruin’s life and death enemy, and the northern Cruz Empire is also there. About to move, Brando began to feel more and more weak in his intelligence network. First of all, it is still talent. It is necessary to ensure loyalty and reliability, but also outstanding ability. Antitina, Charles, Freya, and even Roman are not talents in this area, but Brando suddenly thought of a person-Sue, she The performance in Ampersel is impressive, calm and calm, with a clear head, and not easily affected by emotions. Such a person is simply a natural intelligence talent. Although Brando has no talent in this area, he does not hinder him. Discover talents.
"Perhaps we should find time to bring her over from Charles." He thought in his heart, and put the documents he had read to the bottom one by one. After reading more than ten pages, his brow wrinkled again. .
There is still no news of Akane on this day.
The mountain girl seems to have really disappeared from this world. Since that day I saw her for the last time in the Spiral Hall, there has been no news, even in the civilized settlements around the Dead Frost Forest. Girls with similar characteristics. Brando suddenly felt a little upset and irritable. He put down the information heavily. It has been half a month. Some days earlier, he could comfort himself that there was no problem with Qian, but now such excuses are becoming paler and weaker. , Sometimes Brando even wonders, is Akane already decided to leave herself? Or is it that she lost her memory temporarily because of the violent shock during the big bang? These assumptions are not only terrible, but also can't explain the fact that no one has seen Akane since then.
Could it be said that Milos's myth is really lying to them? But it seems unnecessary for a deity.
He got up from his seat, then sat down again, tapping and tapping with his fingers on the table, and for a moment he almost wanted to return to the Dead Frost Forest in person, but he knew it was just a futile effort. He had a faint hunch that Qian might not be in the Dead Frost Forest anymore. She might have left earlier, but Brando was still a little confused as to why no one had seen her.
He could only entrust Lantonilan to help him increase the search range every day. In fact, Grand Duke Cannonon had some doubts why he would be so stubborn about a maid, but Brando didn't care about it.
At this time, someone finally opened the door. Brando raised his head and saw that Kou Hua, wearing a white dress, walked through the huge door in the hall, with long snow-white hair and light silver eyes. They were two sisters. Sister in Zhong, the kind-hearted Kou Hua. Behind her was an impatient sister. Dark Kou Hua glanced at him with blood-red eyes, with provocative expressions in her eyes. In fact, Brando had no doubt that if she had a chance, she would definitely Will directly pounce on him and bite him with pointed canine teeth, the meaning of hatred is undisguised. His gaze crossed the sisters, and finally fell on Nimesis—senior sister, no, Miss Cavaliers had been able to go to the ground a few days ago, and now helping him do some things within his capacity in Valhalla is considered a rehabilitation After training, her injury healed very quickly, making Brando suspect that this lady also seemed to have some special abilities.
Nimesis also glanced at him, and the meaning in his indifferent eyes: I called someone for you.
Brando nodded to her to show his gratitude.
Then he looked at Sister Kou Hua.
"Lord Earl, we met again today." The kind Kou Hua replied with a smile. This quiet girl is always so polite.
Her sister ended her greeting with a soft hum.
Brando doesn't mind. He asked the sisters Kouhua to come today to determine their relationship with Valhalla and his territory. In the final battle of the Temple of the Hibernator, the darkness Kouhua finally abandoned the godhead of Milos and chose In order to preserve her soul mark, she did not choose to die together with the body of the giant god and the fire. Her current state should be a product between the existence of the heroic spirit and a certain law, but this state is not for her. What is unacceptable, because this is originally one of the manifestations of the dusk planted in this world.
But the problem is that no matter how the dark Kouhua and the good Kouhua exist in the world, they have actually changed the history that Brando is familiar with. If Esis’s eldest daughter survives, then whether her other daughters will end in the same way as in history, and whether her own end will be the same as in the game, it’s hard to say, Brando faintly. Feeling that he has touched another line in the world of Vaughan, the change in the historical fate of the Cruz Empire is just the beginning, so even though the trip to the Dead Frost Forest has come to an end, he still cannot decide what to do with the sisters.
Seeing the twin sisters, he temporarily put the worries behind him, and asked: "Miss Kou Hua, is it accustomed to live in the lower territory for this period of time?"
"The land of Lord Earl is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace, away from disputes. I like it very much. Moreover, Valhalla has a beautiful scenery and I am honored to live in this legendary fortress. There is nothing dissatisfied." The kind-hearted Kou Hua smiled and answered sincerely. Darkness Kou Hua glanced at her sister. She was disappointed by the weakness of this sister or the other side of her. She pouted and said: "Huh, anyway, I said that I was living very unhappy. I leave, hypocritical, annoying."
"That’s right, Miss Kou Hua, do you remember what I said to you? I don’t kill you. This is a very big risk in itself. You should understand that you are part of the twilight, you The existence of is itself a kind of hostility to the civilized world. But you are kind-hearted, and I don’t want to kill innocent people because of a possibility. That is not in line with my philosophy, but out of a responsible attitude, I hope you don’t Stay away from my protection, okay?" Brando asked.
The kind-hearted Kou Hua nodded: "I can fully understand, Lord Earl."
Brando looked at the girl whose mind was as pure as a clear lake, and couldn't help feeling a little startled, wondering if this is really the eldest daughter of the legendary Esis. Such purity and kindness can already make humans Most of them are ashamed, but he is himself, and he has to check his suspicion. But this matter is very important, Brando will naturally not change his mind because of the momentary emotion. He calmed down and looked at the dark Kou Hua on the side.
Dark Kouhua is slightly taller than her sister. Brando thought that this might be a manifestation of a strong personality in the soul. She looked at Brando contemptuously with blood-colored eyes: "This is the Lord Earl invited us to come. Why? It’s really unnecessary. My sister and I are now weak girls who have no power to restrain the chicken. Master Earl, you can put us under house arrest at the first order, let alone that, even if you want a beast at this moment| We have no way of resisting sexual proliferation, so there is really no need to pretend to ask for our consent here."
Brando almost didn't get angry with this guy. What is a weak woman without the power of a chicken? The kind-hearted Kou Hua's strength is recovering day by day after leaving the Temple of the Hibernator, and it is now approaching the peak level of elemental civilization. , And she herself suffered heavy losses because of stealing Milos's godhead. I am afraid that she can't recover her vitality in a short time. This is purely self-inflicted, but now it seems that this eldest lady has already put all the responsibility on him. He couldn't help but squinted his eyes and glanced at the latter, and replied faintly: "I'm afraid you made a little mistake. What you said just now was to your sister. As for you, Miss Kou Hua, as a war criminal and a prisoner, Naturally it is impossible to enjoy the same high-standard treatment as your sister."
Dark Kouhua frowned slightly, and asked with some worry: "What do you mean?"
"You took my things, so naturally you can only help me to pay off the debt." Brando replied.
Kou Hua's eyes widened, her beautiful blood-colored eyes staring at him inexplicably astonished: "When did I take your things?"
Brando shook his head and looked at this guy and couldn't help but think of everything that happened back then.
