The wind swayed the trees, the wedge-shaped leaves of the oak tree rustled, and the shards of light between the shades swayed on Delphine's dress.
"Can you talk about it?"
The prime minister's daughter nodded gently, as if she didn't care about Brando's backlash after she finished speaking: "Since we left the port of Rouen, Her Majesty the Queen should have lost our track, starting from the noble sea in the inner sea. There are dozens of routes. We can go to Cape Bay, Metz, Mosaic Collar, the north side of the Evergreen Walkway, Rokozy and even the northwest of Anzeruta. Even in Metz, there are dozens of ports. After arriving at Fattan , Even if your majesty’s eyeliner placed next to the adult finds a chance to send a message back, there is no time to dispatch troops calmly at that time, after all, no one in this world can be a true unpredictable prophet."
A cup of water was placed on the armrest of the wheel. Delphine put his fingertips into the cup, lightly dipped it, and then drew a few simple lines on the round flowerbed of the oak tree next to it. Brando could see that it was one. On a simple map, Delphine first draws the coastline, and then marks several key locations, which are the Imperial Capital, the entrance of Ludwig, East Metz, the north of the Evergreen Passage, and Fattan Port.
She pointed her hand in the direction of the imperial capital, then moved to Ludwig, then to East Metz, and finally stopped at Fattan Port: "We have arrived at Fattan Port for a week now and we will take the Griffin. It takes two days at the earliest to reach Ludwig from the imperial capital, and half a week to reach East Metz. In terms of time, she has no time to mobilize any army that belongs to her near us. Even if it is an assassination, she has no time to prepare calmly. The situation in Fattan Harbor is now unstable, and someone behind it is ready to move, indicating that Her Majesty the Queen has already started, and she is sure to complete a blow against you in the near future."
Brando didn’t ask where Delphine got the news in the city. He believed that it’s not too difficult to use her wisdom to speak from others. Besides, he looked at Ms. Yinlong, Missy. Ms. Riel seemed to admire her very much, and if she asked, she probably wouldn't—or disdain to lie. But these weren't secrets, Brando didn't bother to ask about it.
Delphine's voice was flat as water, and continued: "Constance is self-conscious and likes to be strong in front of outsiders. She especially likes to be arbitrary and seldom listens to other people's opinions. She looks like a very typical imperial emperor. . But this is actually just an illusion that she showed in front of outsiders. As the supreme man of the empire, she needs to maintain her majesty through such means, and it is difficult to figure out. This set seems to be very successful, but It's a pity that some things are destined to betray you."
"The empire was in the same power as the temple during the reign of her father and grandfather, but during her reign, the imperial power became more and more stable, and the relationship with the temple became more and more harmonious. This is definitely not an arbitrary person. It can be done. In the history of the empire, there are still a few female kings. Although she deliberately concealed herself, she had to make achievements to prove herself. However, the achievements will eventually record her in history and serve her. Her life and personality make a comment, which she cannot change."
"Constans is actually a very calm person. Judging from all her policies and plans in the last ten years, we can also see that she likes to make decisions and then move."
The map painted on the stone platform has gradually faded, leaving only very shallow traces.
"If such a person decides to take action against you, then she must be fully prepared. I will consider the whole matter from her point of view, whether it is to mobilize the army to attack the lord's fleet, or to make someone to assassinate the lord. You, in terms of time, can't be full—and perfect, then you have to find another way."
Brando nodded, but even if the mobilization of the army and the assassination were excluded, the silver queen could use thousands of methods, especially in this magical world. So, it doesn't explain much, and it will be very difficult for him to take precautions next. The only way he could think of was to catch those guys behind the scenes first, but since the other party dared to do something, he was obviously not afraid of being caught by him.
Delphine didn’t seem to find it so difficult: “It’s actually very simple to know what kind of method Her Majesty will use. There are actually a few details hidden in the series of things that happened before. We didn’t pay attention to these details before. Arrived, but after figuring out the ins and outs, the information contained in it is clear."
Her eyes fell on the tea water at hand, and the sunlight floated up and down in the deep red tea water, as if she was thinking.
She continued: "First of all, the Silver Queen deliberately led me to Vargos to come to you in order to convey a message. If you take this information apart, it means:'She has controlled the situation in the imperial capital. You can do it now', why is she delivering this message?"
"From this question, we can get many answers. First, the person must be in the mission, otherwise the conjecture of transmitting information will not be established; second, if the information cannot have any effect on him, then the act of transmitting information There is no need in itself, so this person will definitely not be an insignificant role; third, if this person is not an insignificant role, then this person will definitely be able to play some role in this plan."
Brando was stunned. What the prime minister’s daughter said was something that he sounded taken for granted, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it did contain a lot of useful information. There was a flash of inspiration in his mind. It is just that it is impossible to analyze which of these information is useful and which is meaningless. At this time Delphine continued to speak again:
"What kind of role this person can have in this plan is related to what Her Majesty’s plan is. The so-called plan refers to the process of achieving a goal formulated for a set goal, and the process is only to achieve the goal. If the goal does not exist, then the method is meaningless, so the core of the plan is the goal, not the process. So in the final analysis, there is only one question worth discussing-that is, what is your Majesty’s goal. Do it by yourself A thing often has a motive. The motive is the goal. Motivation refers to the interests that drive people to act in this way. Simply put, Her Majesty acts against you, what can she get from you, or act against you, treat her. What are the benefits?"
Delphine dipped his tea again, and drew a few symbols on the map that had completely dried up. Brando knew those symbols, and those were the shorthand signs of the wizard—benefits and nuisances. Then raised his head: "Benefits refer to gains and losses. It can be distinguished by simple good and bad. Her benefits can be obtained from you or prevent loss. But in theory, you are a little Eruin Earl, you and Her Majesty should not have the slightest intersection. You can neither hinder her nor she can pay attention to you. Now that her eyes are on you, then you must have something extraordinary that can cause her. Attention, or threaten her."
"In this way, to find the target from the adult, the range of choices is reduced a lot."
She thought for a moment: "Let me make a hypothesis. Your Majesty Wang claims to be the dragon of darkness, and he does not hesitate to be an enemy of the entire continent. Since she doesn't even care about the Four Great Temples, how can she care about the one from Eruin? Little threat? I assume that Lord Lord also has the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. No, it should be part of the inheritance. Then the real situation should be like this. Your Majesty and you are not the real Dark Dragon, but you are both in charge. Part of the power of the dark dragon, but there can only be one true dark dragon."
At this point, Delphine paused slightly, and his eyes flickered: "Yes, this is the only way, everything can be explained. Why is there witch allegiance to Lord Lord? Why does Her Majesty have a soft spot for Lord Lord? Why the Lord Lord can rise in a short time? In this way, the logic is established. And there is circumstantial evidence. Her Majesty obtained the inheritance of the dark dragon from the battlefield of the last battle. There were other things in the empire. A high-level person, that person is Lord Lord's grandfather-Earth Sword Saint Darus."
The voice seemed to have stopped.
Can this be guessed? Brando was stunned.
Delphine looked at his expression and said indifferently: "I have another evidence, which is now written on your face, my lord."
Brando blushed. Since he has experienced so many things, he has rarely been so gaffe, but this is mainly because the wisdom of the prime minister's daughter is too far from what he expected. "It's nothing, you guessed it right," he didn't deny anymore. Besides, now that Her Majesty is taking care of him anyway, he doesn't care much about this matter anyway, but he still asked a little anxiously: "But you Did you see anything else?"
"Others? I'm not interested in adults' privacy. Right now it's just for discussing business affairs."
Brando breathed a sigh of relief, although it was unlikely, but after seeing this lady's performance, he was really afraid that the other party would really see his origin. At this time, he felt that when he was seen by the other party’s light purple eyes, it was as if he was naked, exposed in front of the other party. It’s no wonder that smart women are unflattering, and now Brando is also worried. Qi Ran.
Compared with the current secrets, his origin is the biggest secret in the world, and it is also a mystery that he has not solved yet. He knew he was Brando, but he also had Sophie's soul in him.
He calmed down and understood what Delphine said: "What you mean is that Her Majesty knows that I am the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. For this reason, he chose to attack me, so this person next to me, Probably a witch."
"Because only witches can play a pivotal role in this matter, and witches can manipulate dreams and kill people invisibly without having to go to the victim in person," Delphine nodded: "Connect all lines When I look up, the whole line is flawless and there is no doubt. Then it is probably the one we are looking for."
"Witch..." Brando murmured to herself.
"I don't know much about witches. As an assistant, there is only so much that can be done at the moment. The adults need to deal with the rest."
Brando nodded. This is enough. He couldn't help but seriously said to the prime minister's daughter: "Miss Delphine, you used to be present to deal with me in the first place, I might just It's going to be a lot of trouble."
"You think too much, my lord, you were just a little nobleman of Eruin at first, I didn't pay attention to it at all. The first time I wanted to do it myself, I didn't expect you to have some strength, but that's all. , Kill the chicken with a sledgehammer.” Delphine replied as if answering something that had nothing to do with him: “The second time I was planning to hire a few mercenaries to assassinate you, after all, that At that time, you were the head of the Eruin envoy, and I was not very good at dealing with you on the face, let alone too much trouble. As for killing you, I naturally have a way to get out, but I did not expect to encounter a dragon attack. , It is an accident that can be predicted by non-human resources, so I don’t intend to hate anything in this matter."
Brando realized this, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the woman didn't put him in his eyes. He couldn't help asking again: "What about your fiancé Elman?"
Speaking of Elman, the prime minister’s daughter finally had a reaction. She raised her head with a sad look in her eyes: "Actually I know Elman’s death has nothing to do with you and Faina. I clearly understand myself. I'm angering, but in this situation, I don't have the qualifications anymore."
Brando suddenly came across.
…
"Now that it is known that it is a witch behind the scenes, the next thing is simple. The strongest three-line inheritance witch in the world is under the rule of the Silver Queen. If she wants to implement this plan, then these three are most likely to take action. Witch. The king of witches of this generation is called | Esmeralda, a pain witch from the Dark Moon, the believer of Araster, the fourth daughter of Asis, as the king of witches, it is difficult for her to leave the Kingdom of Winter , So it’s unlikely to take a shot. So what’s left is Agatris of the Eternal Dark Moon and the lady in front of us-the deceitful witch, Merrietra. But now that Her Majesty knows that Mephistopheles of the Grey Sword is me My teacher, then I will definitely send someone to hold him back. This candidate must be Jinhai’s believer Agatris, because Mérietra is not my teacher’s opponent at all, but it is more than enough to deal with me."
"Of course, it is also possible that other inheritance witches came to deal with me, but apart from the above three, other people are not a threat to me—"
The labyrinth of the upright is disappearing. After hearing Brando’s statement, Roman couldn’t help but replied a little suddenly: "So that's it," she raised her small eyebrows: "So Brando, you knew there were bad people among the witches. ?"
"At least earlier than you, the so-called witch queen." Brando replied badly.
"Then you don't look like you are surprised in the future. You scared me just now. I thought I would be scolded by you."
Brando flexed his finger on her forehead and flicked it so painful that the latter slammed her forehead and lowered her head: "Could it be that if I knew before, I won't scold you? You should be thinking about how to go. Do you a witch queen competently, instead of thinking about these crooked things."
With the disappearance of the dream, the castle that was destroyed by the sharp gun Nadrell is gradually returning to its original state. The ice and snow on the floor gradually melted and penetrated into the ground. Soon the water stains disappeared, and the broken walls. The broken stone pillars seem to return to their place one after another, the house is reconstructed, and the metal that has been frozen into powder is recondensed. In just a short time, the entire corridor is restored to its previous appearance.
Of course, except for the few headless corpses on the ground and the flowing blood.
Brando glanced at Mérietra who was in a coma. Although she had escaped with a substitute technique, she was exhausted, and it was hard to say whether she could survive, but the inheritance of the witch was completely shattered. It is estimated that it will not be possible to use magic again in this lifetime. "Flo, you go and inform Lord Baron to find someone to clean up the battlefield. Don't worry about what he will ask. I think the eldest son will certainly not encounter any trouble."
Fro nodded, put away the silver staff, turned and left silently.
It was at this time that Brando suddenly felt the transmission crystal on his wrist slightly hot, and Charles' voice came from inside: "Lord Lord, it seems something has happened."
