The Amber Sword: Act 169 The Big Bang

"Qiao Shi, Qiao Shi."

The old Bead yelled in the next room. The 13-year-old girl lying on the wooden table responded, looking away from the candle that was bright and dark, not far away, outside the window for days The sky is overcast, the sky is dark, and there are always purple lightnings. raises head took a look at the bad weather, sighed, and went out to ask:

"Father, what's wrong?"

"Go get my cape and pull the carriage out. This weather won't work. I'll send the farm implements to the city for Betos to fix it." Old Beard was wearing shoes on the one's own bench , While answering.

Qiao Shi stood next to the door of his room and watched the bad weather outside the living room door, frowning and worrying a bit, and his white arms under the sleeves rolled up in front of the apron. "Are you going out this weather too?" She said reluctantly. Old Bedard heard the concerns in his daughter's tone, glanced at the weather outside and laughed: "Heavy drizzle forget it/that's all, Hefeng drizzle forget it/that's all. After a while, the weather will get worse, then it will not be good to go out at that time."

Qiao Shi sighed, wiped his hands on the apron, removed the cloak from the shelf through the living room and put on the old Bead, "You go to appease Ans and Allo, they are still small, and the lightning must be They were frightened. "Old Bead narrowed his eyes and let his daughter's hands wrap around one's own's neck to tie a cloak for himself, enjoying this silent tenderness, while talking. "The road is slippery, and the carriage must be difficult to walk." Qiao Shi whispered.

"it doesn't matter, my good boy, those bad things will not come out in this weather." Old Bead Haha smiled.

Qiao Shi knows that her father ’s statement is reassuring. Since the beginning of law and order in the early summer Thane, rural already has rarely seen the traces of Goblin and thieves, she pursed up lips. Not saying a word. "Well, go." Old Bead gently looked at the face of one's own's daughter who was more and more like his dead wife, and ordered.

Qiao Shi nodded, turned and went out, raining through the yard. Ma Yan was behind the farm and she pushed open the firewood door. The light in the small shed was very dark, and the two mares really looked restless in this weather. Qiao Shi stepped on the grass on the ground and walked to the side of the mare named Anse first, and gently patted his neck with his hand, soothing quietly, so that this mare is quiet, but today is a bit abnormal, grey The fur mare stomped its feet, and its large wet eyes seemed particularly bright in the dark, with a strong uneasy light inside.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Shi frowned. Keenly aware that Anth's fear did not come from the bright thunder and lightning in the sky, but underground.

She squatted slightly, staring at the haystacks stacked on the ground with bright eyes. In her sight, the straw trembled slightly for --. The girl understood it in an instant: the ground was moving! A very bad feeling came to the heart of Qiao Shi. She immediately stood up and rushed to Guan Ma's wooden fence. She gritted her teeth and dragged the iron bolt with her hands to remove it from the lock to the ground. Then she opened the wooden fence. Release the two horses one after the other and drive them out of the stable. It was just such a short delay. The ground already shook obviously, and the hollow pits already rippled outside. Just after Qiao Shi ran outside the shed, a strange hum came from the north.

She stopped, subconsciously turned back, and there was a continuous forest of Allasser in the north. At the top of the forest, it seems that a huge light sphere has risen, then light sphere penetrates the clouds, because it is too bright and dazzling, as if the world around it is a little dark. Then the deafening sound that seemed to tear the air swept past like a shock wave. Bringing a few strands of hair -- The buzzing sound in the ear turned into a rumbling sound, and gradually connected into one, forming a high-pitched shrill, as if the tides were connected with waves, but gradually, the sound changed in the ears It became a buzzing sound like a murmur, and then formed a wave of higher waves, flooding everything, treetop is still turning, the leaves are flying, the lightning flashes, the wind and rain are intertwined, but it seems like a silent sound world.

In this silent world, Qiao Shi was horrified to see that the light sphere was getting bigger, engulfing the sky and clouds a little, and its spherical appearance also began to collapse with the expansion, and the white shell shattered instantly. The dazzling flame burst out from it, and the flame continued to spread like a cloud, and began to be extremely slow, as if far away from the sky, but suddenly, she saw the cloud of fire coming over Allasser. Engulf the whole forest in between.

The towering fire wall continued to advance, the sharp cedar, the standing black pine, the rolling hills have already turned into a sea of ​​fire, the scorching Aura came to her face, her long hair was almost in the airflow. Dancing wildly, blinking in the blink of an eye, Ma Yan broke apart in front of her already, Qiao Shi screamed, and then turned to run.

But a bit late.

With a loud noise, the flame already swept across the farm in the same hurricane, turning everything into ashes.

"Ah––!"

Qiao Shi opened his eyes pale, his body was soaked with cold sweat. She got up from the wooden table and realized that she had the nightmare again. It was more than a month since the terrible explosion already, although later she learned that the explosion occurred in the Death Frost Forest to the north, and the scope of the explosion. In the end, she only went to the area north of Jinqueshan and east of the Needle Hills, but in her dream, she dreamed more than once that the flames engulfed the forests and farms of Allasser, and the entire Lantolian was a scene of Hell.

She came to raises head and looked at the avenue leading to Kukus from the window. The forest beside the road was lush and lonely. The sky above treetops was blue and the sea was covered with silk cotton wool. Since that explosion, The weather is better day by day. From time to time, horse rider passes, in twos and threes, and some of the flags with noble are mostly nearby Knight, and some are simply adventurers traveling together.

These people have been appearing successively since half a month ago. Although every year to this month is a day for adventurers to gather, they are rarely seen in such small places as Bernice, not to mention they are all Or headed north.

"Qiao Shi!" someone shouted at this moment.

Qiao Shi saw that the person who greeted herself was a hunter who lived next door. Some time ago, I seemed to have gone to the city. "Uncle Becher, you came back from the city. Did you see my father?" She quickly Asked. "Old Bayard, I met him at the blacksmith, what's wrong?" The hunter answered.

"Nothing, just worry, Uncle Becher, do you know what's going on?" She glanced at those passing by Knight. Then whispered.

"You said those Knight masters?" The hunter stood by the fence and looked at the Noble Knight of the freshly-dressed and angry horses on the road. He shook his head: "They are looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?"

"Yeah, find someone."

...

Wahlendenberg.

No less than five weeks after the explosion, already, Ike, Yula, Makarov, and Count Oerding can all see that although Her Highness the Princess is still alive and well, it has secretly become anxious day after day. Fortunately, the negotiations with Duke itself were fairly smooth. On the bright side, Viero Duke was originally Count of Radnor's deadly enemies. The two went on stage and down, and they had not played many times. Right now there is an opportunity to destroy the one's own foe in one fell swoop, naturally this opportunity will not be easily let go.

But in fact, even hairy boys like Ike can see that Archduke of Viero is the old feeling of taking the first king. The daughter of the adult Duke turned out to be the mother of Her Highness the Princess. When he saw that the adult Princess Gryphine was called Duke, he was even the oldest royalist such as Makarov and Oberbeck. It seems to remind people that this Duke adult is also young and romantic. Married a elf wife, but no one has ever seen the Duke lady. I don't know that there was a lady Silver Elf Duke in the Aouine kingdom.

However, when Makarov and the others was shocked, I gradually realized that the little girl who had obeyed them didn't seem to be so well-behaved. In fact, from the beginning, the Her Highness the Princess had such a backhand .

Oberg VII's marriage was facilitated by the royal family. Although the king's marrying a Half-Elven will inevitably lead to rumors, but the old king has always shown the stubbornness of one's own in this matter. Moreover, the queen of the kingdom is still at least a human, and royalist are not willing to touch the mold of Oberg VII on this trivial matter.

But I didn't expect that today it seems that Makarov and the others understood that what the stubborn old king was after. It turned out not to be a vain love.

Highland Knight does n’t know what they are thinking about. They are so enthusiastic that they ca n’t understand. It was supposed to say that the next war has nothing to do with them at all, but not only did they send formal ones including Black Tower Wizard. The ambassadors also vowed to promise that as long as Her Highness the Princess goes to Radnor, they will join Princess Faction. This attitude, already is not like the Alliance anymore, it is almost like being in the service of allegiance.

This way, royalist can't understand. You must know that Highland Knight has always been aloof in the political ecology of Aouine's. Even in the era when the king is most powerful, these Knight and wizard just maintain a mutually respectful relationship with the royal family. When did you show such a low profile?

You know that at this time, they are the strong side in theory. After Her Highness the Princess settled the situation of Ampere Searl, but relied on the help of his own small territory and the Count of Tonigel, which was unscrupulous. That's all. In fact, if it is not Viero Duke who is willing to fall to their side, from the situation, His Highness Eldest Prince in the North seems to have more opportunities.

But the situation is advancing silently in such a puzzling development, because with the precedent of Highland Knight, even the envoy of Archduke of Golan-Elsen came to show loyalty, it is not so surprising, because everyone It is understood that the Archduke had no ambitions at all, rather than a noble, it was better to be a hermit, and he did not care about the outside affairs at all. In fact, before the arrival of the envoy of Archduke of Golan-Elsen, there was still a malicious speculation that the news of the Archduke could not be so well-informed. Most of these envoys were arranged by his Adviser and his family members.

Later, it turned out that this speculation was indeed correct. Of course, we didn't take any notice of these details, and we just kept tacit understanding.

But the details make people understand at least a bit.

Aouine King Power will revive --

The success of diplomacy cannot hide the unease in Princess Gryphine day after day.

Buga, Oberbeck already returned to Lantolian from the original road. After all, the explosion happened at the junction of Lantoilan and Viero. Everyone wanted to figure out what happened in the big bang a month ago. And the news from the front is mostly disturbing. In the scout report, it seems that the entire Dead Frost Forest has completely disappeared. To the east of the Gunn Mountains, south of the Purple Roland Fort, a brand new dead Magic area appeared. The remaining energy proves that there has been a shocking explosion there.

While there is a lot of evidence pointing to a huge pit in the center of the explosion, so far, no survivor existence has been found in the explosion.

In a higher circle. Especially Princess and the people around her understand what this means.

Little Prince hasn't returned yet.

Count of Tonigel is still missing.

But what bothers Makarov and Count Oerding more is that they know that the first successor to Kirrlutzian was also missing in the explosion, as well as their huge noble observation team and their Azure Sky Legion Army Commander. In fact, Makarov and Count Oerding already got news from their respective channels. The envoy already of -- Kirrlutzian set off earlier, left the empire and was on their way to Aouine.

This is definitely not a good sign.

But until earlier in the day.

An unexpected guest visited Wahlendenberg.

There is no doubt that this is a long-awaited guest of His Highness Princess Gryphine already.

Out of the window sill, the rattan hanging from the wall shook in the shade. In the distance, the quiet wind forest and Gunn Mountains are immersed in the background of the tile blue. In the afternoon, the gentle sunshine slowly climbed up the pane, and through the veins of the leaves, sprinkled into the room, a golden warm glow. Inside the room, behind the precious blackwood desk, Princess Gryphine was sitting quietly on the red velvet cushion of the bench.

She deliberately calmed herself down, but still couldn't help asking the time several times. "Coming soon, she has passed the promenade already. Her Highness the Princess." The maid answered with a little embarrassment.

Princess Gryphine nodded and gently breathed in. At this time, the knocking of indoles finally came out of the door, as if the whole room was silent for a while, and she replied gently, "Please come in."

The door was opened. The Correct Freya behind the door is still a Aouine's military uniform. It's just that the calm Aura on the body is far better than before, in addition to the face is also a little red, almost alive and detached is another Nemesis. She saw Princess Gryphine and shesitated. She thought that meeting one's own would be Makarov or Count Oerding. But immediately did a Knight ceremony.

"Her Highness the Princess."

"No need to be polite," half-elven girl seemed calm on the surface, but took a few breaths before reluctantly speaking, "Count ... Count, how is he?"

"His Royal Highness, Brando him ... he's fine," Freya whispered uneasily.

But Princess Gryphine didn't seem to notice this. She moved uneasily. Although her subtle look was almost inconceivable, she asked anxiously: "So, what about my brother?"

"Your Highness Halutz is fine, he and Lord Count are fine."

half-elven girl This is shallow breathed out. Although she tried to restrain herself from showing a weak look and stretched her face, her mind was a bit messy. She sat there for a while, both happy and a little bit lost, especially for the Count of Tonigel's senses. After a while, she returned to being indifferent: "Why doesn't Count come here?"

"Nemesis Young Lady and everyone were injured, Lord Thane wants to send them back to Vlada or Fir Tree Shire first."

Gryphine lowered her eyelids as if thinking. After a moment, she looked at Freya again. already in the silver eyes was clear: "Freya, this is an excuse, right?"

Freya blushed. This is indeed an excuse. The real reason is that Scarlett is missing. Brando is trying to find clues about the mountain people girl. But not only that, there are some deeper reasons, but there are outsiders here, she remembered Brando telling one's own, looked at the maid next to Her Highness the Princess, and nodded.

Gryphine slightly turned his head and said to the one's own maid: "You go and tell Highland Knight gentlemen, Lord Count is not coming, but he is still alive and ask them what they think."

The girl nodded slightly and left immediately.

Her Highness the Princess then turned around and said, "What the **** is going on, and the explosion, I want to know what happened?"

Freya breathed in.

"Yes, Her Highness the Princess ..."

...

Deldetar port --

Twilight At that time, a caravan full of goods seemed to be shaking slowly along the crowd towards the port, but as the crowd gathered in front of the carriage, more and more crowds seemed to happen on the road leading to the port. What happened. It didn't take long for the crowd to cling to the point where even the carriage could not move forward. The carriage had to stop. The driver turned back and asked something before jumping from the carriage to a man covered in a cloak. Injured and somewhat awkward, he limped to the front of the carriage, looked at the situation outside, and talked to the driver before returning to the carriage.

At this time, a voice came from the car hood: "What's wrong, Baumer?" The voice was a bit dry and sounded hoarse like an old man.

"It's good news, Babarne, we are saved." The former looked cheerful, came to the hood, and whispered, "It's our mission. They just came ashore."

There was silence in the hood.

Babarne Viscount was sitting beside a pile of hay, his face paled, as if he had some terminal illness. He finally heard the words of his companion, and finally couldn't help but grow up breathed out, and then he got up hard, and opened the black cloth with a black cloth in the corner of the carriage. He was a whole piece of crystal, crystal, with red hair inside. The young girl clasped spear, and her angry look was still lifelike. She was so beautiful. -- But this time, Babarne was not looking at Scarlett, but the silver halberd in the girl's hand.

He looked at it like an enchanter.
