Freya's eyes were still a little red. She went to the cemetery of Aunt Sill and uncle. This cemetery is in a wide open space in the forest. It is simply filled with wooden tombstones. Most of the tombs have no real The owner is just to comfort the souls who have passed away in the war. In the square, the patrol cavalry squatted properly, being watched by Buche’s lads, but no one embarrassed them, and even the wounded were taken care of.
Brando and Madden are standing together, talking, the old man also rushed to hear the news, but did not expect to meet him and Freya. This November War veteran and Buche’s old guard captain was obviously very pleased with the growth of Brando and Freya, especially the current status and status of Brando and Freya, which made him see Buche. Human hope. In fact, I have to say that this old soldier knows a little bit about the qualities of Eruin’s nobles. To change the situation of the Buchi people today is really not a trouble for Freya today, and it does not even need to be bothered. Brando used Tony Gelber's identity. Even if she was the captain of the Knights of the Royal Family, Earl Nagin was not willing to offend for a forest.
This may sound sad. For the Buchi people, this is a matter of life and death, but for Earl Nagin, it is just a matter of face. As a noble, he certainly is not willing to let a group of refugees be bullied, but if this Behind the group of refugees, there was a courtier next to the princess who looked after him, and that was naturally different. It is not even necessary for Freya to remind himself that the Valkyrie, who is gaining popularity today, only needs to reveal his origin of Buche, and Earl Nagin is afraid that he will automatically revoke his proposal in the House of Nobles.
News of the fight between the patrol cavalry and the Butcher quickly spread.
This is not a trivial matter. The Buche people know it clearly represents the views of the nobles in the city of Prague. Come to a conclusion, are you going to drive them away? The crowd quickly gathered and spread various rumors. Most people generally had a general sad and angry mentality. No one spoke or shouted. The scene was very depressing because no one knew what to do next. To do, only when the anger was accumulated silently in silence, the patrol cavalry in the open field watched this scene with fear, only to understand how much disaster he had caused.
Fortunately, Freya personally spoke out to persuade her-as Brando said, she is the daughter of the Butchers after all, and once led the refugees from Ridenburg out of the siege with Brando. Many people Recognizing her, when they knew that the daughter of the Butchers had come to the fore today—although they were still a little bit suspicious, they were at least a little relieved and no longer seemed so turbulent.
Brando was slightly relieved when he watched this scene. Historically, in the frosty month of the year of Swift, the contradiction between the Bragg nobles and the refugees was completely intensified for three years. When the nobles began to expel the refugees, the intolerable Buchi erupted overnight. , Followed by the riots that swept across the Braggs area. Many people were killed in the disaster. After that, the Bouche people's situation under the double suppression of the locals and the nobles went from bad to worse, and Golan-Elson was also very vigorous. Injury, but the more serious disaster is a kind of indifferent suspicion rooted in this area, so that the kingdom will completely lose its prestige in this area in the future.
But today, it seems that this disaster at least does not need to happen again—
But when Freya returned to Brando, she looked a little depressed. "Brando, this is a little different from what I imagined." She replied in a low voice.
"Remember what I said to you, one day, you can rely on your own strength to shelter Bouche, so that the Bouche people can dominate their own destiny without being at the mercy of the nobles." Brando seemed to understand what she was thinking in her heart. , Said with relief: "You did this today. All this proves that your efforts were not in vain. You set a goal for yourself and finally fulfilled your promise."
"But… "
"But what?"
"But I can't help thinking, if I don't have the position I am today, what will happen? Brando, how I want the Butchers to control their own destiny, but-the power to determine everyone's destiny is only from the nobles. They have been transferred to my hands. They may live a peaceful life from now on, but they don’t even realize this. If one day I want to push them into the fire pit, everything will repeat the same mistakes." Ya answered quietly.
"My boy, but you wouldn't do it after all, would you?" Madden replied.
"I know, but..."
The old man seemed to know what Freya was about to say, and interrupted her: "This is the rule of the nobles. If you are in it, you must abide by this rule. You have done well enough, my child."
Freya pursed her mouth tightly, retorted, but didn't know how to speak. She always felt that there was a problem, but she didn't know where the problem was. Uncle Madden didn't seem to be wrong, but she She felt very aggrieved in her heart, as if after working hard, she didn't get the result she wanted; but she vaguely felt that if there is one person here who can answer her doubts, then that person must be Brando .
As if every time she felt confused, she still looked at Brando for the first time.
"Captain Madden is right, Freya," Brando answered calmly, as if this question had never been a problem for him: "Under the rules of our time, this is already the most important thing. Good way."
Brando’s words are like a flame illuminating the darkness and haze in Freya's heart. She reacted at once, suddenly raised her head, and asked: "Brando, what do you mean by the rules-yes Change?"
Brando smiled at her slightly: "Isn't this what we have been doing all the time, I, you, Your Royal Highness, and everyone is looking for the direction to move forward."
Freya opened her mouth slightly.
Madden seemed to hear a little taste, and couldn't help but look at this young man who he had only been in contact with twice in the Black Rose War. He felt that he saw each other more clearly every time, but he got better every time. Surprised.
Brando replied softly: "So Freya, you must not be ignorant of yourself. You must know what you are doing is far more glorious and glorious than you think. Your origin, your qualifications, in this In front of ideals and beliefs, it is like a grain of dust, which is not worth mentioning. Those who mock you and ridicule you do not understand what you think at all, because they can't imagine the glory of Eruin Xiangu-this is The great cause of ordinary people is like the oath made by the first king before his sword."
"Young man," Madden said a long while after listening, "Do you believe this?"
Brando nodded: "I'm sure, because I know that many people have given everything for this. Until now, many people have been overcoming difficulties for this belief and ideal. I can't say whether it will definitely be. Success or failure, but I at least understand that I will not let it stop halfway."
He turned his head and said to Freya, "Freya, do you remember what you said? You made an oath to fight for an independent destiny for the Buchi people, so that everyone who pursues happiness and beauty One day you can not be manipulated by others. Do you remember what I said to you that day?"
"I remember," Freya nodded vigorously, as if the haze that troubled her heart was nothing more than a thin layer of haze. With a light blow, it was already gone. She replied with an oath: "Brando, I understand, I will continue to stick to it, even if one day I shed my blood, I will never regret it. Brando, do you believe me? I will definitely do it. ."
"You did it, silly girl." Brando heard Freya say that even if she shed all her blood, she would never give up. In the history of Eruin, this Valkyrie was indeed a cult for this ancient kingdom. All the last drop of blood.
The ancient glory of Eruin was the scene described in the legend, Madden did not dare to imagine, but he would not easily criticize the passion and impulse of young people. In any case, as long as the Buchi people can live better tomorrow than today, he is already satisfied. He has seen too many illusory things. He is getting old and he no longer believes in the so-called beautiful vision. , Thought it was just a kind of vain; but he at least understood that Freya was a good girl and would never push the Boucher into a fire pit, that was enough.
But Buche, who has endured war and pain, only hopes to restore a peaceful life in the past.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but the patrol cavalry did not dare to act rashly. After a while, these young people finally figured out the identities of the two people in front of them-so they dared not act rashly, but shouted in their hearts one by one. Unlucky. Braggs has just gone through a war, and it was the coalition of Tonigel, Lantonilan, and the Vieiro people who rescued them from their desperation. However, in this war, the Count of Tonigel and His Royal Highness The prestige of the Valkyrie is even more so. People who are related to both the army and the nobility will not have heard of the names of these two people, and once they learned that they both had a background of Buche. , Everyone suddenly felt like they were kicking on the iron plate.
They had no time to sigh for Earl Nagin, who does not have eyes, because Earl Nagin can be said to be innocent of the unknown, but they bumped into someone else. If the Lord Count wants to deal with them, I am afraid. No one dares to stand up for them.
The patrol cavalry were anxious, but they did not expect that Brando and Freya would have forgotten them a long time ago-Brando is not so small, and he knows the customs of Golan-Elsen and even Karasu. It is very common for young people to fight each other or even duel. Both sides are quite regular. Although some people are injured, almost no one will kill him. He also has no intention to be harsh. As for these patrol cavalry running for extra money, it’s really such a trend. If you want to stop it, you can’t stop it, and he believes that with this lesson and his and Freya’s background here, the other party will probably not make this kind of mistake again in the future. , There is no need to offend people for no reason. The Buche people still have to live here after all. After these young cavalry are mostly local gentry and aristocrats, if they want to really fight against each other, he and Freya can't always Take care of it here.
And Freya didn’t even have this thought at all. She finally returned to her hometown once, and all she saw were familiar faces, especially those from the militia from the past. Tell me about the past experience, telling the story about her and the "Earl Tonigel", but there are so many stories to tell about her and Brando, Freya made a big red face, hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell. This is why, where do you remember the patrol cavalry.
Okin, the captain of the inspection cavalry, waited there with trepidation and anxiety for a long time, but he didn't wait for someone to announce the death penalty or pardon for them. At first he thought it was the Lord Earl deliberately trying to hang them here, but waited for it. After a while, I finally felt that it didn't seem to be the case. He finally took a chance, but he asked a young man from the militia team. The young man had his sword handed over by him before, and he was very kind to him before he came to ask Brando what to do with this. Guy, it wasn't until this moment that Brando remembered that there was still such a group of people waiting for his release.
When Eugene appeared in front of him with some trepidation, Brando couldn't help being a little funny. He knew these guys very well, whether he was a player in his previous life or later in Ridenburg, he had witnessed this with his own eyes. Domineering and proud cavalry. In the early years, the patrol cavalry was part of the kingdom’s professional army that was responsible for local security and defense. However, since the establishment of the garrison, it has become a place for the nobles to place their cronies and arrange the way out for their children. The aristocracy of the army inevitably leads to discipline Relaxation and corruption, after the years of blooming flowers and summer leaves, the patrol cavalry is basically a dispensable establishment in many cities. In a border city like Braggs, it is slightly better and still maintains basic combat effectiveness. Those cities deep into the territory are pure moths.
In fact, the reason why he had forgotten these guys before was because he subconsciously thought that these guys had escaped, but he forgot that in the presence of his real power Earl, it seemed that even if these patrol cavalry had the courage, they didn’t. Dare to leave without asking.
Eugene was a little surprised when he saw Brando. He probably didn't expect the legendary Earl to be so young as this, but he also thought of other rumors about the Tonigel Earl—for example, The grandson of Sword Master Darus, and some rumors about him and His Royal Highness—I feel relieved again. Besides, it is often said that this adult is a rare young genius in Eruin in a century. Only in this way is he worthy of it. The title of young genius. He coughed quickly, straightened his posture, bowed his head and said in a polite manner: "Earl, what happened today... In fact, it was a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Brando was still thinking about how this guy would apologize. He didn't expect that it was still such a boring old routine. It was really not creative at all. He couldn't help but yawned and asked: "What's the misunderstanding?"
"That's it, sir," Eugene said quickly, "... Everyone thinks that we are here to help Earl Nagin drive them away. This is actually pure rumors. It is only a rumor in itself to drive away from the forest, and even if it is true, it is not within our scope of responsibility. In fact, sir, we are here because of other official duties."
"Other official duties?"
"My lord, we heard earlier reports that a group of wicked gangsters appeared in Braggs. These guys left the city around the evening, and then our eyeliner discovered that they were haunting here, so I chased them all the way. come over."
"I guess, then you ran into little Phoenix and the others again, and you just had a fight on the way, right?"
Ou Jin nodded sly. Of course he could put aside all the responsibilities, but he knew that he might not have deceived the young Count, so he might as well tell the truth to avoid unpleasantness. Brando nodded. He probably understood the cause and effect of the incident. It was these people who searched all the way, and then ran into a group of Little Phoenix. There had been enmity on both sides. The patrol cavalry wanted to catch him because of the large number of people. Live the opportunity to report revenge. This is a more reasonable explanation. Brando is very clear that the so-called mission will not be a matter to these nobles later. As for the so-called wicked people who have caught it, it is natural to be credited. There is no lack of the so-called credit.
However, he was a little curious about how these so-called desperate groups exist. Theoretically speaking, there are already a lot of desperadoes in Braggs, but if you want to attract the attention of these patrolling cavalry, it is at least satisfying. Two conditions-the first must be that they are not locals. Most local desperadoes have something to do with the Brotherhood of Thieves or other organizations in the gray area. These organizations are generally inextricably linked with the local nobles. Therefore, the inspection cavalry generally does not trouble their family members, although even Brando does not say why the inspection cavalry and the desperadoes become their own family members, this can be regarded as a landscape of Eruin in this era. And second, there must be a certain number. One or two lawbreakers are not in the eyes of the patrol cavalry. It's not that they don't want to care, but because of their efficiency, they probably don't notice the existence of such one or two people.
And the current situation clearly means that a large group of lawless elements have mixed into the city, so that even the patrol cavalry are alarmed, Brando thinks that this is a bit like a cultist's style of behavior.
But when he asked about it, Eugene hadn't said why, but the little Phoenix on the side seemed to have heard something. He ran over and said, "Brother Brando, I seem to know these guys."
"you know?"
Brando looked at him curiously.
