The Amber Sword: Act 5 wizard, Dragon and Empire II
Brando thought that he had to prepare a carriage himself, but when he came to the courtyard, a rickshaw was parked on the boulevard under the shade of already. The dark carriage had Fir Tree Shire exclusive emblem, and other in the castle. A person rarely uses a carriage when traveling, so this carriage is likely to be prepared for him. Although he is still a little strange, who knows that he is going to go out -- could it be that is Medissa? Although Silver Elf Little Princess is polite to others, he will never do these subordinate tasks. He turned to the other side of the carriage and saw the Amandina and Miss Adviser eyelids hanging down by the door. He also held a large volume of literature in his hand. Apparently waiting for him.
"Lord Thane is going to Port Griess, the carriage already is ready for you," Amandina crisscrossed his hands, put it on the skirt above his knees, and said respectfully at the door: "There are cookies and pastries in the compartment drawer. It ’s made in the kitchen, because if you ’re on the road now, you wo n’t be able to catch up with dinner. In addition, there is some information about the recent empire under the table. Although not much, I think it will be useful to you. ”
She is still talking about her face, as if she is endorsing, but there is a warm current in Brando's heart. He still thinks who arranged the carriage for him, but who else? Except for Amandina, who could have managed his messy time in an orderly manner, frowning, and preaching to him with a brazen face? Advise him to have a regular life and schedule. Except for the slightly quiet girl at the moment, who is so low-profile, it is almost hard to remember that she was also born noble family and was a well-educated noble young lady.
It's just her.
"Thank you, Amandina." Brando stood opposite one's own Miss Adviser, Shita was still sucking his chubby fingers behind him, he smiled slightly, the last breeze of late summer was blowing over the castle's treetop, rustling . The bird fluttered through the gap between the sun-drenched branches, and the sound of the wings rising up seemed to obscure the whisper in the woodland. Amandina froze for a moment. She came to Brando with raises head, and her dark eyes contained a layer of complex and bright light, then she lowered her head silently.
"This is what I should do," she opened her mouth. Complaining softly: "If it is Romaine Young Lady, presumably you will not be kind enough to say thank you to her."
Brando was surprised to see her face flushed to the root of her neck, as if this sentence exhausted her courage.
He savored the meaning of this sentence carefully. The girl ’s heart is like a silent song. already is full of heart. Unconsciously, he reached for the door handle and staggered with one's own Miss Adviser. The two seemed unable to see each other, and Brando opened the door. Answered: "No, really." He let go of his hand, straightened up, facing Amandina, and replied earnestly: "But I won't say to her, get in the car, Miss Adviser, see you with me Kirrlutz Empire's envoy. "
In a flash, Amandina absentmindedly stood there.
The wind of late summer seems too noisy. The clouds moved slowly in the blue sky, and time seemed to flow backwards for a moment.
揶揄 's smile appeared at the corner of Brando's mouth: "May I help you get in the car. Madam?"
"N-No need is ..." Miss Adviser bowed her head down, beautifully like a swan, but she felt hot on her face: "There are still many things in the territory, I have n’t dealt with many documents, me, me Still do n’t go, just leave it to Lord Thane ... ”
"Are these files not in your hand. We have dealt with it in the car. From here to Port Griess, there is still a long time, we have time. Trentheim late summer The scenery in the early autumn is beautiful, I want to see this land that belongs to us, you Come with me. "Brando interrupted her. He pulled the door, and Amandina still hesitated, but the heavy sweetness in his heart finally overcame the restraint, and she buried her head and sat up.
She finally understood that Lord Thane felt her heart.
That's enough. For Amandina, it's enough for her. The girl was almost cramped on her knees, clutching her skirt tightly, her head was going to be shy and buried in her chest. She had never expected go one step further, and now already is fine. Brando then got into the car, and Shita also squeezed facelessly. The three of them didn't open their mouths. The quiet air was filled with a faint aroma, both the late summer incense and the girl's mind.
The carriage gurgles, slowly passes through the gate of the castle, through the suspension bridge, through the prosperous street, and after leaving Fir City, it gradually becomes a rolling rural scenery, rolling hills, and green fields. , Distant woods, windmills, shining rivers. The carriage passed the lush tree-lined road and crossed the stone bridge paved with white strips of stone. The landscape of Trentheim had already formed a continuous picture.
Brando sat by the window of the car, watching all this silently, filled with a sense of cozy warmth.
He is no longer alone in this world.
Many people live because of him, he also lives because of many people, mutual needs between people, and civilization is just because of this bond. Warmth, love and affection are like blood. A steady stream of sounds hit the spirit / mind of everyone. After all, it lasts forever. Milos and Kouha have asked the same question. What is the true meaning of this dark, obscure, humble civilization and order existence? It is neither as glorious as the ancient times, nor as grand and indomitable as the silver era, but the answer may be in it.
Being kind.
With hope.
...
Port Griess is long gone. It ’s hard for nostalgic people to find the taste of the past here, but no one is noisy. The fifteen white trestle of the harbour is now deep into the blue bay, and the bay shore has been dug deep. , Can moor those big sailing ships. Neat, cobblestoned streets run from east to west, north and south, and a caravan full of cargo shuttles back and forth to divide this emerging port into a regular chevron. Just like Fir City, the dilapidated sheds have already been demolished and replaced with beautiful Permanent building, tiled red roof has now become a symbol of the city, only some areas of the port near the woods on the north side can still find traces of the fishing village in the past.
Bucce's Shepherd. This is a hostel opened by Romaine's Merchant Union. It can also be said that Port Griess the only is a hostel with official nature, but this hostel in the downtown area is not as crowded as other places. Only merchants with Count of Tonigel permission can stay here. Occasionally, Medissa and Amandina, or other people in the castle will also stay here when they come to this port. Therefore, this hostel is not so much a commercial club as it is. It is a station with Trentheim and official background.
But there have been many guests in the hotel since these days, but these guests are different from the past. Most of them are blond. Although it is polite to treat people, it is unavoidable that the nose is long on the forehead. It is difficult for Aouinian to accept the suffocating attitude of Kirrlutzian towards foreigners. Although this attitude is sometimes not from the heart, or it is better to say A habit that accumulates naturally over time.
But in the words of the hotel owner --, a veteran of Red Copper Dragon Mercenary Company, that's really enough. Now the bad-tempered boss simply declares that he is ill, and leaves everything in the hostel to the care of the next person. already has not appeared for more than a week.
When the Brando's carriage stopped at the door of the hostel, it was such a scene.
He saw Scholar Young Lady at the door. Shido is holding a drawing board and sketching on the street. She seems to be new to everything here, and the style of Trentheim has indeed given her a different story. Especially I heard that it was a barren fishing village one year ago. There are often no more than a hundred people here. Residents can see Noble Knight in fresh clothes all year round. Most of them come from tax officials of Fir Tree Shire. She wasn't surprised to hear that, as it was in the Aouine each place described in the book.
But Count of Tonigel gave her a different story about this kingdom.
Several young Knights volunteered to serve as messengers around this Young Lady. Most of them recognize Brando, although they are closer to Nemesis and Freya. But still came up to say hello. As Kirrlutzian, this attitude already is very rare. If the owner of the Shepherd's Inn is here, he must stare out his eyes at this moment, and adore him more for Thane.
Brando asked with a smile. Amandina followed him, and she was a bit surprised by her Lord Thane's Reputation in Kirrlutzian, but she knew at least more than the people below, so it was not too inexplicable. It's Shido, and when you see Brando, put down the brush. Stand up and salute him respectfully; Brando was a little surprised, because he saw that Scholar Young Lady held student etiquette to the teacher. If the youngsters of the Swordbreaker Knight group can also be said to be polite to fight side by side, but This etiquette is somewhat grand and inexplicable.
He couldn't help looking at Shido.
Shido explained politely and seriously: "My mentor said that the master is the teacher and the conduct of Lord Count can be a model for my generation noble. This time I return to Kirrlutz, I will definitely tell what the adults are doing My teachers. At least now I understand that the glory of Xiangu noble has not disappeared from this land. What The Kind Erik took away from the empire and guarded, still takes root in this soil. "
Brando saw the earnest light in her firm eyes, couldn't help but smiled and shook her head. The noble Young Lady was as simple and innocent as ever, but it still made life frustrating, not to mention his blush. This is a bit ridiculous.
Although he is happy to see all this, some of what happened on this land did not originate from his heart. When he was impatient, he never thought of such a long-term thing.
He shook his head. At this time, Lenarret appeared at the corner of the staircase leading to the lobby on the second floor of the hostel. He walked down and glanced at it. As usual, there was not much talk, but Brando already understands that this may be Veronica's. It was probably only Her Royal Highness, and perhaps Shido, who was able to stay beside that female Army Commander, but the Scholar Young Lady didn't look like an idle temper. He hurriedly bid farewell to the others and then followed.
Lenarret did not say a word, leading the way, leading him to Veronica's's room, opening the door, Brando was shocked because there was another person in the room besides Veronica.
This person also recognizes that the bald and bearded one-eyed, this appearance is really too conspicuous. -- This is Mangrove, Army Commander of the black legion, the marshal of the Empire in the third Holy War. Brando almost didn't scold the mother, what are the scouts doing? Just let such a big fish touch the inside of the one's own territory unclearly, and he didn't even know it. This is one of the four Army Commanders of the empire, and his strength can be said to be higher than Veronica, just behind his teacher Mephisto. Characters of this level in his empire are like nuclear weapons existence. Now that this nuclear weapon already has unknowingly come under his eyelids, he has no idea.
He couldn't help but glance back, and Amandina's face was also a little bad, apparently recognizing the other party, which showed that she didn't get any wind at all.
"Brando, you are here," Veronica finally noticed Brando and Miss Adviser behind him. She and Mangrove were sitting next to each other on a short table, the latter holding a pipe. The light in the pipe was bright and dark, and the clouds were spitting and misting, so there was smoke in the house. Brando frowned, but immediately understood what was going on. A person like Veronica, who actually had a slight cleanliness habit, could tolerate it as her, and Mangrove was indeed her old predecessor. In the second place, there must be something more important that attracted her mind, leaving her in no mood to worry about these little things.
Veronica seems to notice Brando's's face. I immediately understood what Brando was thinking. She first motioned to Her Royal Highness to close the door, so there were only Brando, Amandina and two Army Commander four people in the cabin; Brando felt the door closed behind her and kā chā could not help but close Somewhat strangely, I thought that what happened was that even Lenarret couldn't be present at the table. He felt that the situation was beyond the imagination of one's own and calmed down a little. Wait for Veronica to speak first.
"Brando, this is --, let me see that you recognize it from already, so I don't need to introduce more," female Army Commander said of half. Sighing, feeling helpless about Brando's prevention, she took a deep look at him: "I always feel that you are very concerned about the empire and very aware of our prevention. Although I don't know why, this time you can rest assured , Mangrove, he came here by some special means, even Holy Cathedral of Fire has concealed, it is reasonable that you did not notice it.
Brando looked at Mangrove and always stared at the Kirrlutz map spread on the lower table. Without looking at it, this is in line with Kirrlutz noble's consistent style, especially his identity. Naturally, it is impossible to give him a nice Aouine's Lord Count. Complexion. He took another look at Veronica. The female Army Commander interpretation made him a little better. After all, even if Holy Cathedral of Fire had concealed it, it was not a big deal to cheat his eyeliner. He couldn't be arrogant enough to think that one's own scout was better than Holy Cathedral of Fire. Surveillance network does a better job.
But Veronica's words made him smell a heavy sense of crisis.
Mangrove is an important representative of the military factions in Kirrlutz Empire. What kind of major events have happened inside the empire, so that a person like him will take such a big risk and go to Trentheim alone to meet with Veronica and even hide it? Holy Cathedral of Fire. Brando became messy in his mind. The first thing he thought of was that the could it be that sectarians and the imperialists were at war? Kirrlutz Empire started civil war?
That ’s great. It ’s a godsend for Aouine. The weaker Kirrlutz, the lighter the pressure of Aouine's. This is an indisputable fact.
But Brando shook his head, thinking that there would probably be no such thing as pie in the world. Kirrlutz has passed since the empress's father regained the empire's right to speak from the sect with the help of the prime minister. Less than a century later, the position of the imperial power is still very stable. And Holy Cathedral of Fire doesn't look like the existence that is so eye-catching. It is a blatant rebellion. That is the national religion in the entire Kirrlutz cultural coverage area. That is, there are one or two braindead in the top layer. Most other people will stay awake. Brando remembers today The person at the peak of Holy Cathedral of Fire's power seems to still be 'smart Vala'. If that person is absolutely impossible, the black dragon can still be produced by his subordinates.
It is possible for Her Majesty.
Brando doesn't know much about Her Majesty the Kirrlutzian. To be honest, he is more familiar with Her Majesty the Emperor Lenarret --. The Emperor Kirrlutz Empire has a rough future, and Her Majesty, though wrist is tough, is called the Iron Queen, but the fact Her style of acting is a bit too rigid and self-use. However, in history, she has not been in office for two years. This time, Lenarret will soon become the true crown prince, and then ascend the throne. Kirrlutz Empire will enter a fairly long rise period, which is also the beginning of the tragedy of Aouine.
Which one is this singing now?
Brando looked at the two famous people in history before him, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong in the whole history.
