The Amber Sword: Act 15 Brother and Sister IV
"Master Deacon."
Edessa walked through a corridor and saw at one glance that the former Ampere Searl Great Deacon was holding a pair of scissors to trim flower branches in the courtyard. The old man was wearing robe, with his back to her, and bent his head against the green foliage, looking attentive.
Wood didn't look over until she spoke a little. He smiled slightly: "Edessa, you are here."
"Yes, Deacon, may I ask, do you have anything to do with us?" Edessa bowed and asked.
Wood put away the scissors, turned around, and put a cut flower branch on the stone table in the courtyard. Edessa saw eyebrow of his silver grey spread out and said to her, "Go call your master and tell him if you want to see that person, it is today."
The maid stood there idly, as if she hadn't responded for a while, but after a while, a light of surprise appeared in her eyes: "Deacon lord --"
"Don't need to thank me on behalf of your host, Edessa," Wood waved his hand, "I did not promise you anything, this opportunity was won by himself, but can I convince Her Highness the Princess and that person, I'm afraid it will eventually Rely on your one's own. "
"Only you will give us a chance, Master Deacon."
"Go ahead and get ready," Wood replied.
Edessa nodded quickly, she sincerely bowed to the former Great Deacon of Ampere Searl, but retreat went on. Wood watched her leave the courtyard, the figure disappeared on the other side of the corridor, and the old man sighed. Pick up the scissors again. But at this time Correct, rustling footsteps came from the other side of the corridor.
He froze slightly and stopped again.
...
The attendant took Brando, Princess and his party through the corridor. The sunlight penetrated through the neatly trimmed flower and wood walls, leaving a zebra-like light pattern on the floor of the corridor.
"Mr. Brando, Halutz, he will take care of you." Her Highness the Princess watched the brothers Brando and one's own come back from behind, she glanced at Halutz of did not say a word, and said softly.
Brando also glanced at Little Prince.
In fact, Halutz is secretly looking at his winks. The eyes of grey, which are not quite the same as his sister, are full of anxiety, but also a little pleading. Brando can't help but be a little funny. In fact, he didn't say much, just promised to keep secret for His Highness Little Prince.
Of course he will keep it secret, but not this. He knows that the real secret is that this Aouine's Little Prince may have some extraordinary talent, as described in the article in the forum of the last generation; only a glance at the obscure Black Magic books can master the spell above. Such talents can only be ashamed of Buga wizard of Silver Lineage.
But it is not the time to make this secret public. On the one hand, he does not want the Halutz to be proud of it, and on the other hand, it is also to protect the little Crown Prince Aouine.
For the issue of Princess, he nodded slightly.
Slightly in front of me, the fence already surrounded by Evergreen Winter Tree came to an end. The attendant took them around the corner of the corridor, and then Brando saw the predecessor Great Deacon of Ampere Searl.
In his eyes, Wood looks a lot thinner than it was half a month ago, but it also calms down a lot. The old man seemed to wait for them for a long time. After seeing them, he smiled immediately: "Princess Gryphine. Mr. Brando, two people arrived . "
Then his eyes looked back again: "His Highness Amandina Young Lady, Romaine Young Lady, Little Prince, all good." Amandina nodded politely, Little Romaine on her side beckoned to this Deacon adult, only Prince Halutz was somewhat Standing timidly behind everyone.
Princess Gryphine looked at one's own brother and sighed, she bowed slightly to Wood. "Master Deacon," Her Highness the Princess raises head, opened the door to see the mountain road: "We came for the northern situation."
Wood froze. Then they reacted. His Highness Aouine's princess opened his door in such a clear manner and showed a stance at all costs, apparently trying to tell him that she did not intend to compromise on this issue.
Princess Gryphine's attitude did not exceed his expectations, but Correct could not help but sigh. He understood the toughness of the Her Highness the Princess from the beginning. However, Holy Cathedral of Fire thought that the winning ticket was in the hands, but did not expect to cause a huge trouble in the end.
Although Holy Cathedral has made several concessions to already on Aouine's. But today is obviously the ultimate highlight. If this Her Highness the Princess can solve the problems of the North in one fell swoop, then the unification and even revival of Aouine's is only a matter of time.
Kirrlutzian is not happy to see a revival of Aouine, but there is no core conflict between the two after all. Compared with the eagle's empire, Aouine is just a small kingdom with a little peace. The same is true for Wood. Compared to Kirrlutzian, he is a believer in Way of the Golden Flame first, so he once advocated a neutral attitude of Holy Cathedral.
Although this attitude cannot be maintained, he will support all the actions of Holy Cathedral of Fire. It turns out that those measures taken were all wrong. But the Ampere Searl's predecessor, Great Deacon, is now thinking about how to repair the losses caused by these errors, rather than questioning Holy Cathedral's course of action.
He thought for a moment, but he didn't speak. And Brando on the side replied: "Master Deacon, Aouine is Aouine that believes in the doctrine of inflammation after all. Holy War is imminent, presumably Holy Cathedral is not willing to see one's own allies in a civil strife. If there is Aouine, then the Holy Cathedral of Earth and Madara who are about to move are Kirrlutzian will not be a problem. "
Wood.
His gaze then turned to Brando. This was the fourth time he saw this youngster and Correct youngster, which caused great trouble to Holy Cathedral of Fire. However, Wood has no hatred towards Brando, but rather appreciates it.
"You said Holy Cathedral of Earth and Madara?" He eyebrow asked, "Mr. Brando, I heard that you are the first group to escape from Bucce. You have experienced that war. You said these words . Don't think it's because of the prejudice of Brahman's black roses? "
Brando smiled in his heart, Madara's changes, it is impossible to hide everyone. Especially Saers, Kirrlutz, the two bordering empires, Holy Cathedral of Fire must have had Madara's eager intelligence, otherwise why would it react so quickly in the first War of Black Rose and immediately ordered it to retreat.
But the awful thing is that Kirrlutzian is obviously deliberately indulging the bones. Aouine is just a more important piece in their eyes, but it is not impossible to give up. He judged from what happened in another period of history that the bottom line of Kirrlutzian should be that Aouine should keep at least the part north of Ampere Searl. So Madara will progress so smoothly in the second War of Black Rose.
Kirrlutzian Ruyi scheme using Madara to hold Saers's attention, waited until the third War of Black Rose, and Madara sat down completely before returning. But at that time everything was already late, so there was the protracted battle later.
Brando could not help recalling the war in the Alkash mountain area, he shook his head. But also see through the disguise of Wood. He replied: "If it's just prejudice, I won't mention Brahman's black roses. Are there fewer enemies in could it be that Aouinian?"
He paused and said blatantly: "If Aouine blocks Madara's northward and westward movement, then the bone racks will have to find an exit to the east."
Wood closed his mouth immediately.
The old man clearly understands that this youngster already sees everything through, including the plans of Madara's and Kirrlutzian. He took a deep look at Brando, "Madara recovered Mercury Staff, and the rise of already was unavoidable. As far as I know, His Majesty already gained great prestige in this war. I am afraid that the time to integrate this ancient country It is imminent. At most, the time for undead to go northward and westward will be mature. "
"And at this time, can Aouine be unified and have the ability to resist the invasion of Madara?" He answered with a glance at Brando. Wood didn't make a false statement this time, because he knew that it was just a waste of time for two people in front of Brando.
But before Brando spoke, he reminded: "Don't forget, there is another war in the north Aouine. Holy Cathedral of Earth Because of the sword in your hand, Mr. Brando, already started Holy Sword in advance." /
Princess Gryphine listened silently. Amandina also frowned. They actually all heard Brando said about the threat of Madara's, Her Highness the Princess also realized this. But they did not expect that time would be so urgent.
Especially when Half-Elven Princess heard rumors about Mercury Staff, they couldn't help but gently breathed in, and asked: "Mercury Staff? could it be that The rumor is true, is it really Loki's Mercury Staff?"
“That's right.” Wood nodded.
"How is this possible, why did Holy Cathedral of Fire not tell us at all?" Princess Gryphine could not help but be a little angry. She questioned: "Aouine could it be that is not also a country under Holy Cathedral of Fire, nor is it the Corcova royal family. The Sifah royal family, or loyal to the teachings of inflammation from generation to generation, because we believe that Flame King can uphold justice and integrity, but Deacon Wood, you put What do we think! "
"Because Kirrlutzian never believed that Aouine could withstand the Madara's invasion, and they were unable to mediate with Holy Cathedral of Earth, Saers, and Madara at the same time, I am afraid I have to give up some of my interests in Aouine's, so that the mischief of the East will let Madara's undead find Wind Elf's trouble , Her Highness the Princess. "Brando replied.
Princess Gryphine stared angrily at Deacon Wood, Deacon Wood was also a bit embarrassed, he did not know why this youngster always seemed to see through their intentions at a glance. He coughed and replied: "It's not exactly that, but Mr. Brando is right and Holy Cathedral is not omnipotent. There are many enemies like Kirrlutz Empire. After all, Aouinian still has to save itself. If Aouine Being able to resist the Madara invasion, we may not give up our interests here, presumably you can understand this. "
Her Highness the Princess breathed in, calm down and nodded. "I understand, but now you see Deacon Wood. Aouinian has such a willingness. Does could it be that even support this point Holy Cathedral of Fire?"
"No," Wood shook his head: "Her Highness the Princess, presumably you understand. There are also many factions in Holy Cathedral. Not all everyone support you. Whether you can get the support of others depends on what you intend to do. Solve this problem. There are many deep-rooted noble forces in the north of Aouine. You ca n’t expect them to sit still.
"But the problem now is not that I expect them to sit and wait, but that they want me to sit and wait." Her Highness the Princess purse up thightly lip, coldly replied: "The noble in the north is eager to move and each wants to be independent. On this issue, I would never They will compromise with them. If they want war, I can only give them war, but I want to know, which side will Holy Cathedral stand on? "
raises head looked at Wood. In fact, she knew clearly that if the Holy Cathedral was not standing on the north side, a large part of the noble in the north might choose to compromise with her.
But Wood shook his head: "Her Highness the Princess, I can stand by your side. But this doesn't mean anything, you should be very clear, let alone I'm not Great Deacon of Ampere Searl. Holy Cathedral cannot give it up in the north Influence. "
It's like a knot. But there is always a solution to the problem. Brando looked at Wood and suddenly said, "So, you have a solution to this problem, right, Deacon Wood? Why not talk about it?"
Wood is a little hesitated, he looks at Brando. Brando continued: "I remember you told Amandina, which is my Miss Adviser, you said that you might be able to solve the mess in the north."
"No." Wood shook his head: "Mr. Brando, it's not me, but someone can do it."
"Has someone?"
Brando and Princess Gryphine are both together, can't help but stop and look at each other.
"Who?" Her Highness the Princess asked. She really can't think of anyone who can solve the mess in the north, High Priest of Holy Cathedral of Fire? Her Majesty the Emperor Kirrlutz Empire? Or Buga people? Silver Elf?
She even thought of for a moment as Dragon Race.
But Deacon Wood said: "That person is also trying to meet you, but you still need to get your consent before. For some reason, you may not want to see him. Especially you, Princess Gryphine."
"Me?" Princess Gryphine pointed to himself in confusion: "Why? Who is that, Deacon Wood?"
"Princess Gryphine," Deacon Wood asked, "Are you familiar with your brother?"
"My brother?"
Her Highness the Princess suddenly cried.
