The two were talking. At this time, a servant knocked on the car door and reported outside: "Miss, the envoy has arrived. They entered the city from the Shilizard Mountain Road because of martial law."
"Humph!" After listening, the little girl knocked on the table in the middle of the carriage, curled her lips and said, "It seems that guy has already arrived."
"Qiyala, do we want to go there." The earl's daughter asked softly, but the little girl's attitude was too tough. She shook her head quickly: "No, let's wait here. Let me see that first. Is the guy too boring?"
Although the Earl's daughter had a gentle look on her face, she was not an idiot. Naturally, she could see that her companion was deliberately having trouble with the Lord Earl. She could faintly guess the reason, and couldn't help asking more worriedly: "Qiyara, this is not so good."
"What's wrong?" The little girl replied pretentiously.
"But after all, they are the head of the mission..."
"So what, if that guy dares to scold me, I won't go to the empire." The little girl hummed dissatisfiedly.
"Not going to the Empire?" The earl's daughter showed a startled look.
"What are you afraid of, Yi Nide, when you come to my house to live for a while, I will file a complaint with my brother, and your father dare not do anything to us." The little girl replied.
The Earl's daughter opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but knew that she couldn't persuade this companion, so she could only sit there awkwardly, as if she had confessed her fate.
The carriage quieted down for a while, and the two people waited for Brando to arrive with different moods. The earl's daughter only hoped that the earl would not anger her. She was worried about gains and losses, and she couldn't help but look sad for a while. The little girl sitting across from her looked indifferent, tapping the car window with her finger lightly while looking at the scenery outside.
Brando got a message from a servant after he entered the city. He knew that the representatives of the Westfah family and the Earl of Grey Mountain were already in the city, but he first settled in the envoys and stayed in the hotel in the fort before going to the appointment alone. Place. When he arrived near the agreed place, he saw the two carriages parked under the oak tree and the servants standing in two rows beside the carriages. He walked over to these people and showed his identity to these people, thinking that he would be able to see the two representatives. , But did not expect that the servant who passed the message walked to the carriage and returned the same way soon, with a poker face and brought him back a sentence:
"Miss, she heard that Lord Earl is very knowledgeable, and in order to prove Lord Earl's identity, she wants to take a test on some academic problems of Lord Earl."
Brando couldn't help being stunned, thinking that this noble lady's head is okay, is there such an identification? Is the sign of her Royal Highness the princess fake
He glanced at the carriage and thought to forget. After all, they are members of the royal family-although they are former royal families-and girls. It is not too careless, so he has to patiently replied, "Please tell."
Qiyara’s small face was almost on the car window, and she said with a little triumph: “I’ve long heard that this guy pretends to be knowledgeable and well-known, and the rumors about him in the South are so amazing. I’m such a person. It's so much, gold and jade are nothing more than gold and jade. For them, knowledge is nothing more than dress and gorgeous clothes. Watch me come to expose his hypocritical appearance, hum, let him understand that the search for truth is sacred and not desecrated."
The Earl’s daughter almost saw that she was punished for causing trouble to the family. The confined hut dangling in front of her, she asked worriedly: "You asked him what question. Chiara."
"Hey," the little girl smiled slyly. She pushed the thick spectacles and replied somewhat proudly: "It's nothing, some ancient words."
Yinide stared at her suspiciously, and wondered if his companion was really so soft-hearted.
Sure enough, the little girl said again: "But a friend of my teacher asked him to find these words from some slabs. In order to unearth those slabs, my teacher and I stayed on the cold and boring Balta Plateau. It’s been a long time. The teacher is an authority in the ancient language world, but he doesn’t know all the words on the stone slabs. Just wait to see that guy lose face."
Yinide knew who the little girl’s teacher was, and thought that since even the master could not be recognized, it seemed that it would not be a shame for the Lord Earl to recognize it. Of course she did not dare to say this. Lest this eldest lady change her mind temporarily.
And outside the carriage, Brando was taking the note from the servant. He glanced at the ancient words on the note that looked like tadpoles, and couldn't help laughing.
Isn't this the content of the ancient slate
The first clue of the slate of war—
These slates were the clues that he provided to Tulaman, so that they were discovered in advance in this era. It is enough to ask other things, but it is the text on this slate. The text on this slate used to make a lot of noise on the forum, and in the end it was translated by a master of ancient language knowledge level 16 in their guild, who wore a +3 linguistic skill scholar artifact-after knowing the necklace, he You can recite it even with your eyes closed. He put down the note and said to the servant in front of him without even thinking about it:
"Tell your lady, the fragments of the firmament fell to the ground with the collapse of the towering pillar, and the whispers in the dust and wind are recorded on it—"
After a few minutes-
"Qiyala, Lord Earl, did he guess right?" Yinid looked at her companion with some worry, she had been watching the content of this note for a while without moving.
"He didn't guess." The little girl dropped this sentence, jumped out of the carriage, pushed away the servant who came to support her, and ran out hastily. Brando also didn't expect that what would come out of the carriage would be such a little loli who seemed to be changing her teeth. In the standard villain's lines, she was just a little yellow-haired girl, who was wearing a pair of cuteness. With thick bottle-bottom glasses with a completely inconsistent face, he frowned and looked at him, then asked him: "Hey, how do you guys recognize these words?"
Do you still talk about aristocratic etiquette
"This little lady, who are you?" Brando was still a little unhappy, but found that he was such a little girl who was taking the exam, so he was no longer so angry. Children care about.
Qiara seemed to realize her impoliteness only then, but she snorted softly and replied: "Count Degoux is my father, Queen Anna is my aunt, and my brother is Levin Onsen Sifah. Duke, you must know who I am, right?"
What kind of messy relationship is this? Brando looked at this arrogant little Lolita, and it took him a long time to sort out his clues, and asked: "You are the representative of the Westfah family?"
"It's the former royal family," the little girl corrected. "Almost, but I don't want to go to the empire. Can you convince me?"
What a spoiled little girl, Brando thought to himself. He shook his head: "I can't persuade, or you should go back first. The eldest son of Wang is a gentle person, and he must not blame his sister. "
"Hey, you guy is really weird, you still call my brother Wang's eldest son, you know that it's unlawful to call my brother like that, you know, don't you be afraid that the princess will make trouble for you, oh, I know," the little girl A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he replied triumphantly: "You don't put that little girl princess in your eyes at all, right? Or you support Brother Levin ascending the throne? The Corkova family has lost the sword family and the throne. It’s also a matter of course. History is a cycle. The Westfah dynasty has reached the time of rejuvenation. Besides, my brother is much better than your princess. That little girl princess will only calculate how to sell herself for a good price and get married. A wishful husband-in-law, to rejuvenate the Corcovado royal family, is too superficial. The rejuvenation of a country, how can it be in a family, how? I promise you this fellow in the future will not only be the Lord Earl, people will I call you Lord Duke."
If someone else said this to Brando like this, Brando promised to hit him on the ground with a punch and couldn’t get him up. But instead, it was a milky little loli who persuaded him so seriously, only to let him He felt dumbfounded. The little guy didn't even change his teeth. He just took a mouthful of a little girl and the princess called Griffin, as if the princess, who was seventeen years old this year, seemed to be stinky in her eyes.
"Miss, if you don't want to go to the empire, I can help you write a letter to prove that you are unwell. As for the others, I am really not interested in discussing." Brando had to replied.
But the little girl didn't necessarily appreciate it. She shook her head and said, "I am in good health and I don't need any proof from you. Besides, you haven't told me why you recognize those words. I must find a way to figure this out. ."
"Well, whatever you want." Brando shook his head, thinking that you didn't want to go to the empire, what is it called to go back and forth.
But Qiara seemed to see this disapproval look on his face, and snorted softly: "I don't want to go to the empire, and I want to go to the empire, there is no contradiction between this." After that, she turned around again. Carrying the skirt all the way back to the carriage, very rudely and using the mountain carriage, said to the earl’s daughter who was sitting on the carriage upright and unconcerned: “Yinide, I changed my mind. I’m going to the Empire. Go back alone."
"No need, Qiara, I, I will be with you." The earl's daughter was crying without tears. When did she say that she would go back, but Qiara's words finally made her breathe-okay, at least There is no need to go home and be confined. Although I don't know why this eldest lady would change her mind temporarily, for a while, the countess couldn't help being full of unspeakable goodwill towards the Count Tonigel, whom she had never met before.
Thankfully, Martha was here, and she quietly drew a deity's mark on her chest.
…
After Qiyala and the Earl's daughter returned to the team, the people who had traveled for several days enjoyed a rare and stable night in the hotel. Although the city was rioting because of the burglars of the Viscount Lord, it had nothing to do with them after all. Although the guards might wish to copy out all the wealthy businessmen in the city, and then declare that they were a joint cooperation case, and then confiscated the property, they did not dare to provoke this large-scale team.
The envoy stayed at Fort Tisco for half a day and a night, and set off early the next morning. It is said that until the end, the viscount did not find the mysterious thief, so the area around Ash Mountain remained for a long time. There is a legend of a certain nightingale who is haunted by ghosts. At first, the image of this nightingale resembled a god in the sky, but then he didn’t know how to get involved with Earl Tonigel, and some people even swore that he saw Lord Earl stealing things from Lord Viscount, like cloth. When Lando committed the crime, he was on his side. Over time, the image of this nightingale gradually spread into the image of a wise and quick girl, but no matter what kind of image, what they did was to rob the rich and help the poor. Chivalrous righteousness, as if the thieves throughout the ages, no matter whether they have eaten or not, they can't find other more meaningful things to do.
As for what the Viscount Master lost, there are even more opinions. Some say it is a ton of gold or a diamond as big as a fist. It is an exaggerated statement that the Viscount Master’s collaborating with the enemy is evidence of treason. He is full of malicious thoughts. Most of the people have had some grievances with the Viscount Lord, but a common understanding is that these things-if they were taken by themselves, it would be great. Facts have proved that most people do not have the noble character of being a thief.
After leaving Tisco Castle, the envoys headed north, but did not enter Corcovado. Instead, they crossed the border between Ash Mountain and Balta Plateau, and directly held the Ironthorn Mountain Road and the cold wind toward the kingdom's border day by day. As the sun approaches, after leaving the Grey Mountain area, there are endless mountains. There are no human settlements in the undulating mountains. Three days later, they passed the vicinity of Winterjaw Fort. It can be said that they said goodbye before arriving in the empire. The area closest to civilization.
Beyond that is the snowy area that no one has set foot in all year round, a natural forbidden zone between the empire and the kingdom.
Haruze told them some terrible legends about this area, such as the whispers of the undead on the plateau in the wind at night, and the lame on the plateau—this terrible wolf-shaped creature, he and his sister I lived in Winterjaw for a long time, so I know some local folk stories. However, these stories scared the ladies in the envoy to sleep for several days and nights, and then Brando and the little prince became unwelcome guests in the carriages, and it was also a disaster for Brando.
These days Qiara has been pestering Brando trying to figure out why he knows the meaning of those ancient words. Of course Brando can’t come up with it. If you are all cavemen, I am at least a person from the future. Homo sapiens this kind of nonsense; but in an occasional conversation, when the little girl of the Westfah family asked about his ancestors, he moved out of the rhetoric of learning art from the Buga as always, but he did not expect this rhetoric to have a miraculous effect. After that, Qiyala disappeared, hiding in her carriage with the earl’s daughter all day long, and then Brando realized that she was planning to steal the knowledge of the Buga from him, this so-called truth Suddenly he felt like crying without tears.
Others in the envoy did not have the hard-working spirit of the eldest lady of the Westfah family. Except for Eco and the non-commissioned officer from Yanilasu, most of the patronized descendants of the nobles have since entered Since Baltar has been complaining, and then he started to get sick one after another, the first being Mr. Elfram, the meatball, because he was greedy and ate some unclean game—of course he asked his servant to find a way—the result He began to vomit and diarrhea, but fortunately, there were still priests who accompanied him in the envoy, and it took him a day or two to stop him.
Then there was the seven or eight-year-old Lori of Grand Duke Goran-Elson. She had a high fever. As a result, the head of Brando seemed to be a guest babysitter, although she let the young Lori hold her hands and tears. Speaking softly to my brother, this sounds very good, but the price is that I haven't closed my eyes for a few days.
After the envoys crossed the last mountain on the border of Baltar, everything seemed to be quiet involuntarily.
Because everyone understands that there is the Black Sword Barrier ahead.
From the last epoch, there is the gateway to the empire, the last checkpoint to the north of the kingdom—
The majestic and majestic mountain peaks traverse the north and the south, connecting the two kingdoms together. In the southeast of the empire lies such a huge mountain system. It is part of the Baishan mountain system. This mountain range runs across the entire south of Saint-Osor. The end of the West passes through the southernmost part of the Wilderness of the Four Realms, where an undulating mountain group is formed. At the center of this mountain, snow is covered all year round, and there are even many large and small continuous black forests. This is archeology. A paradise for scholars and explorers, the Dirut Mountain Range—the mountain range named after the first generation of the Wind Elf King. To its west is the famous Anzeruta area. The name alone may be confusing, but it has Another title-the hometown of the highlanders, the hometown of the Longblade Lord; and to the east of the Dirut Mountains, is the shining sea of deep, and the area along the sea of deep is distributed with large and small principalities and kingdoms, Antobruo It is one of them.
And to the north of it is the famous four-leaf clover plain, the place where the wind elves and the Cruz people rise, and it is also the place where the sacred covenant was concluded.
The Balta Plateau is just the southern tip of this prestigious mountain range. The mountain range gradually converges towards the Corcovado Plain, forming a famous pass with the eastern end of the Broken Sword Mountain Range. It is the Black Sword Barrier.
On this day, everyone in the envoy finally saw the insignificant fortress between the two majestic peaks from above the high ground, but everyone knows that only when you really come under the fortress, you can do it. The walls of the fortress over twenty meters are deeply shocked—
That is the wall of the empire.
