The Amber Sword

Chapter 904: Shadow of the Fleet (Part 1)

Views:

Today's Valhalla is no longer what it used to be. This emerald city of trees has grown day after day under the care and maintenance of the light, with luxuriant branches, in Mintai, the firs and even the entire Tonig. You can see this giant tree thrusting like a cloud in many places in Erdong. But in the eyes of the locals, what is different from four months ago is that since the'mysterious wizards' from above the sky entered, the changes on the giant tree have become more intense.

In the eyes of the world’s doubts and even horror, horizontal branches grew from the jade-like crown of the giant tree. These branches curled downward to form a door-like shape. The wizards in silver robes smashed the tree trunks. Full of densely packed runes, at night, you can even see the colorful glow of these magical words from more than ten miles away.

When people haven't figured out what happened above, even more surprising scenes have come to this land.

It's a spaceship.

The ships that really float in the air, the airships that the locals have only heard of in legends—laden with people and materials, sailing from the north with sails, they are scattered with two pieces at first, and then they are densely packed. Some of these spacecrafts came and left, while others berthed beside the giant tree. However, after only half a month, Valhalla had the embryonic form of an airport—until this moment, everyone had reacted. , What those mysterious wizards were doing.

The airport bridge formed by the tree trunks of Valhalla obviously has more natural advantages than the tall towers built on the ground by humans. It is more like a dock built by the Bugans on the floating city. Therefore, the wizards from the Argent Society It is even more handy when designing such an airport. The construction of the airport within the content of the two-party transaction is progressing extremely fast. The silver-robed wizard Maned stood on the cross bridge and looked at the completed pier 11 and the embryonic piers 12 and 13, but he His gaze was not to admire his busy colleagues in the airport—but to stare at the ripples in the space between the curling tree doors.

"The anchor point coordinates are south of Andrea's Sublime Sea!" At the moment he was dazed, a silver-robed wizard had accurately reported a series of data. Maned woke up suddenly, his silver eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately turned his head and ordered: "Go and ask Ms. Antitina to come over."

He hesitated for a moment:

"And Senator Tanya."

"immediately!"

Add another sentence fiercely—

A cold wind blew across the city wall over the sea, with ample rain breath. After the midsummer, there is still a rainy season along the coast of the Noble Sea, and this sea breeze usually heralds the arrival of a storm, and the little prince gently beats in the cold wind. After a sneeze, Brando patted him on the shoulder, knowing in his heart that only a few people expected this. He raised his head and looked at the Cruz nobles present. Although the previous topic about the revival of the Twilight Dragon sounds terrible, it is too far away for mortals. After a short period of panic and consternation, the Cruz nobles Calm down quickly.

After all, even if the twilight battle is really about to come, the panic will not help all day long, not to mention the current predicament is more important than the future fate of Warend. Drunk life, dreams and death in time to have fun, was originally the patent of the noble lords.

Brando even saw some nobles trying to compliment Lesmeca: "I'm so sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience, beautiful... uh, ma'am, but you finally escaped and came to the surface world, didn't you? At least it's something to be thankful for?" The one who spoke was a suave middle-aged nobleman-complimenting a beautiful lady-whether this lady had a snake's hair or erected prismatic pupils, placed on the Continent of Vonde. Being in any noble circle is not a shame, on the contrary, it can also reflect their gentlemanly demeanor.

Brando shook his head slightly, but Ms. Medusa seemed to enjoy the compliment, and she smiled slightly: "It is true, but it is slightly correct that I can appear here, but it is not just Because I am under the blessing of the god of luck..."

Hearing this, Brando frowned subconsciously. He looked in that direction, and he saw Lesmeca cast an inexplicable look on his side.

"I can appear here to get acquainted with you gentlemen, but it is because of the rescue of a heroic knight. The demons who enslaved my clan were summoned by some evil forces on the surface world and invaded the kingdom of Eruin. It was this gentleman who led your human army to defeat this demon army and rescued me. In fact, I haven't had time to express my gratitude to him personally."

Lesmecar’s whispering voice seemed charming and pleasing, but to Brando, he couldn’t help but frown deeper and deeper, and he even felt a few enviable eyes cast on him from there—Amperexel It’s not a long time since the First World War took place, but this war involved a battle between the Temple and the Eruins, as well as several behemoths within the empire, and even the'demon invasion' attracts attention. Therefore, within half a year, it has been familiar to the nobles of the empire. Naturally, people like the legendary young nobles under Princess Eruin in that war are not unfamiliar to them. Who are they talking about? Nature knows it well.

It is naturally jealous to be grateful for such a great beauty.

Only Brando himself is still frowning. It comes from the gratitude of Medusa. This does not sound quite right. Although Lesmeca describes herself as a weak female stream, but Brando's heart But they are very calm. The followers of these underground matrilineal clans may not necessarily be kind. The surface world has another name for them: Gorgon, this name is to describe the indifference, selfishness and love of these creatures. Playing tricks.

In particular, he also knew that although these guys were not in harmony with the dark elves of Ashtip, the two cultures seemed to be in the same vein. Excluding the conflict over faith, they were the same in character.

Of course, this is not surprising, because it is the basic law of survival in the underground world. In the dark underground, calculating each other is just like commonplace.

"She was asking your Royal Highness Haruze a long time ago." At this moment, Nimesis reminded in a low voice after looking in that direction.

Brando was startled slightly, probably because he didn't expect that Nimesse would take the initiative to remind himself, and couldn't help but ask flatly: "Why do you let this woman be by the little prince? She is obviously unpredictable."

"It's the decision of the little prince, and the princess has no objection."

Brando turned his head and gave her a surprised look: "You have no objection?"

Nimesis stared into his eyes and did not answer.

"I understand, this is your attitude as a minister, but I don't think so." Brando couldn't help shook his head.

"So in the eyes of the royal party, you are also deliberately unpredictable." Nimesis replied flatly.

Brando was stunned for a moment before he realized that this is the senior sister who reminded himself without a trace: Yes, no matter how he fits into this world, he is him. Sophie’s half of the soul makes him and the world’s Many personalities are incompatible, but Brando does not intend to change. What he wants to change is this world and this ancient kingdom. "Being restrained may not be correct, I don't want to repeat the same mistakes." He replied softly.

"whatever."

In exchange for such an answer.

When Brando turned his head again, he glanced at Lesmeca with some caution. The latter obviously noticed his eyes, but didn't care. He still smiled kindly and looked at him from a distance. There is a deep meaning in the double-sided pupils, as if there is an unpredictable meaning. Brando frowned slightly, but to his expectation, Lesmeca did not walk in this direction, but looked away after a short while, as if everything before was really just a simple expression of gratitude.

"Is this a bit of a joke?" Brando was a little bit stunned, but if this was the woman's attempt, then she would have lost her hope, because at this moment he had no intention of interrogating the other party's attempt, and he didn't worry about this woman at all. What tricks can he play alone — if it is directed at him, he will naturally not be afraid of anything, if it is directed at the little prince or the eldest princess, he believes that the senior sister will not be unconscious.

And it was at this moment that he felt a slight warmth in his palm, and quickly opened his palm—there was a magic rune for the communication technique he had left with Shire.

After a while, Brando turned his head back solemnly, and his eyes fell on Count Alcons. The latter obviously noticed Brando’s previous use of communication. Although he is also a noble of Cruz, he is still in a high position. He can barely be regarded as a few of these people who have a slightly longer-term vision. Others may There are still feelings of drunkenness, but Alcons understands what kind of situation they are facing now, especially when he almost fell into the hands of the people from Qiao Gendi. When his gaze fell on him, the majestic Lord Earl immediately understood him, turning his head back and commanding: "Volas, come here."

When Viscount Volas heard the call, he immediately covered himself with an agitated spirit. He respectfully approached Brando and asked in a low voice: "What's your order, Lord Earl."

Brando couldn't help casting an admiring look at Earl Alcons, and then replied: "My wizards are ready, please let the Viscount lord lead us to the quay area. The caveman regards this place as In the rear, it is clear that Luen Port will not be left in the hands of the empire for too long, as our time is running out."

Volas was stunned slightly, as if it took a moment to realize what the young earl was saying. Although he had heard the same thing before, he never dreamed that the other party was serious—he had still I thought that the other party was just putting on a tough attitude, giving them these Cruz people a predicament, and they got the command of Ruenport in good name, but the problem is that he didn't lie a word before, Ruenport. At this moment, I really can't find even a sampan.

Thinking of this, the Viscount-sama couldn't help but sweaty and asked: "My lord, do you mean that your wizard has cleared the berth? But my lord, we... We really didn't lie to you, in the harbor. There isn't a boat!"

Perhaps because he wanted to express his meaning too much, Vollas raised his voice subconsciously. The dialogue between the two immediately attracted the attention of other nobles on the wall. Most of these nobles did not participate in the decision-making. Only a small part of them have experienced previous negotiations with Wallas. Most of the others only know that Brando has promised them that there are still ships available in the port, so they also wishfully believe that there are still problems in the port of Ruen. Few ships anchored, and Brando had to requisition these ships and then take all of them away, without knowing that almost all the ships in the entire port had sunk under the bay at this moment.

At this moment, hearing what Volas said, these people couldn't help showing a look of stunned and even unbelievable expressions, but after a moment of silence, someone immediately yelled them out:

"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Volas, what do you mean there is no ship?"

"Without a boat, how do we leave this ghost place?"

The nobles were panicking, and their doubts were getting louder and louder, and they soon buzzed into one, but these people still knew whose destiny was in the hands of their own destiny at this moment. Obviously, the previous life of captives made them at least understand Now who is the boss here, so few people dare to question Brando's head, but even so, Brando still frowned. He couldn't help but glanced at everyone present and said angrily: "Shut up all to me!"

There was instant silence on the city wall, and after a while, the nobleman asked hesitantly: "But, Lord Earl..."

"Shut up," Brando interrupted these people mercilessly: "Now I am taking you away from this place, rather than you trying to take us away. I didn't let you make any comments, so you just give me. Obediently don't make any noises."

He stared back at these nobles suspiciously, and then looked back at Volas, who obviously understood that he had done something wrong, and buried his head deeply. It’s a bead of sweat. Brando took a look at this guy, and then replied in a cold voice: "When did I say I want you to prepare the boat? Or do I not speak the Cruz language? Mr. Viscount, I will let you take it. Gentlemen here go to the dock area, do I need to repeat it a third time?"

"But..." Volas replied tremblingly. He obviously couldn't imagine how the young Earl in front of him turned out of the boat empty-handed, especially since it was not one or two boats. To evacuate the port of Ruen, everyone who was present would be evacuated. Take it away, at least there must be an entire fleet. According to the thoughts of the poor Mr. Viscount, the young Lord Earl could not save face and was obviously prepared to find a scapegoat for the crime, and that scapegoat was obviously only him, so he was not afraid to be frightened.

"It's nothing," Count Alcons interrupted him first: "Just do what the Count gentleman said, right away."

"This..." Volas was bitter, but since his lord had already spoken, he naturally had no room for rebuttal, so he could only sigh and walk down the city wall dejectedly.

The expression of his subordinates, Earl Alcons, naturally fell in his eyes, and he calmly looked at Brando: "Earl Tonigel..."

"Don't worry," Brando certainly understood what the principal of Ruen Port wanted to say: "I won't joke with you at this time. You go to the dock area first, and I'll be there later."

When Alcons heard Brando's answer, he said nothing more, nodded gently, and then turned and left. The other nobles on the wall obviously also noticed this conversation between the two, but since the leader of the Earl Alcons has made this statement, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to object easily. Leaving the city wall one by one, only Nimesis remained by Brando in the end.

"Is there something wrong?" The female knight stared at Brando and asked.

Brando was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party was observing in this way. He didn't know whether the senior sister had noticed the clues from her previous expression or her last words. He was startled for a moment before he said: "Nothing. , The problem is not big, you go first."

Nimesis stared at him with pitch-black eyes, and said nothing. After a while, he calmly said, "Is it a Buga?"

Brando's eyes widened in surprise. You can guess it. For a moment, he almost really found a familiar breath that belonged to Senior Sister Bai Jia from the unsmiling female knight.

Nimesis stared at Brando's expression, and seemed to have found the answer from the other's changing face, and she didn't need to answer any more. She turned slightly and threw a sentence: "You better hurry up." , There is a smell of sulfur in the air."

The dragon queen had obviously noticed that they had entered the port of Ruen. The faint smell of sulfur in the air heralded the signs of the arrival of the dragon beasts. Brando stared at Nimesis' back for a while before turning around and opening his palms. The magic runes of the teleportation technique in his palm are shining brightly, but the image that appears in his palm is not a projection of Shire, but a delicate and beautiful little person—to be precise, the fairy lady Tanya’s Full-length portrait.

"Ms. Tanya, why did you come in person and what happened?" Brando asked with a frown, staring at the little man.

"Why, I was surprised to see? It was I who asked Mr. Charles to use magic to transfer the contact between me and him, so that he could directly contact you-Mr. Brando, or Lord Lord." Ms. Fairy said flatly. Replied.

"Speaking of the point, now it's my money." Brando replied badly. The magic power consumed by remote positioning coordinates is so huge that it can be said that every second is burning money.

"In short, a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"I just want to know if what you promised me is ready!" Brando replied gritted teeth.

Tanya was silent for a moment.

"Of course, the Buga never break their promise."
