The Amber Sword: Act 46 The two letters XI
Freya's eye circles are still a little red. She went to see Sia 婶婶 and his uncle's graveyard. This graveyard is simply filled with wooden tombstones in an open space in the forest. Most tombs are not really The master is only to comfort the soul that died in the war. In the square, the Patrol Cavalry squatted there in an orderly manner and were watched by the Bucce's boys, but no one embarrassed them, and even the injured were taken care of.
Brando with Marden Standing together and talking, the old man also came to hear the news, but did not expect to meet him and Freya . this November War Veteran, Bucce's Old guard Captain Obviously pleased Brando with Freya Growth, especially Brando with Freya Now his identity and status let him see Bucce Human hope. Actually have to say this old soldier for Aouine's noble Have a bit of understanding about the nature of Bucce Today's situation for today's Freya It ’s really not troublesome, not even bother Brando Use Trentheim Bo's identity, even if she is royal family Knights Knight-Captain Status is not Count Najin Willing to sin for a forest.
This may sound a bit sad. For Bucce people, this is a matter of life and death, but for Count Najin it is just a matter of face. Of course, as noble, he is certainly not willing to oppress a group of refugees. But if this Behind the group of refugees, there is a close friend's photo next to Princess, which is naturally different. It is not even necessary for Freya to remind himself that the Valkyrie, which is increasing in Reputation today, as long as he reveals his Bucce's origin, Count Najin is afraid that he will automatically revoke his proposal in Chamber of Nobles.
The news of the fight between Patrol Cavalry and Bucce people soon spread.
This is not a trivial matter. Bucce people know clearly that this represents the nobles in the Bruglas city. For many people, they heard from the news with anxiety, they do n’t know what happened, is it Chamber of Nobles already? in conclusion. Want to drive them away? The crowd quickly gathered, spreading various rumors. Most people generally carried a general sorrow and anger. No one spoke or shouted. The scene was very depressed because no one knew what to do next. do. Only when anger was silently accumulated in silence, Patrol Cavalry on the open space looked at this scene in horror, and realized how much trouble he had made.
Fortunately, Freya personally went out to persuade -- like Brando said. After all, she was the daughter of Bucce people, and once led the refugees of Rydenburg with Brando. Many people recognized her. When They knew that when the daughter of Bucce was in the limelight today, although the -- was still a little bit suspicious, at least it was a little relieved, and it no longer seemed so disturbed.
Brando looks at this scene. Only a little sighed in relief in my heart. In history, the contradiction between Moon of Hoar Frost, Bruglas noble and refugees in Year of the Swift has been intensified for up to three years. When nobles began to expel refugees, intolerable Bucce broke out overnight, and then it swept across the entire Bruglas The riots killed many people in the disaster. After that, the Bucce people's situation became worse under the dual suppression of the locals and noble. Golan-Elsen was also badly injured, but a deeper disaster was rooted in apathetic suspicion. The kingdom completely lost its prestige in this area in the future.
But today, it looks like this disaster will at least not repeat itself in --
However, when Freya returned to Brando, he looked depressed. "Brando, this is a little different from what I imagined," she whispered.
"Remember what I said to you, one day, you can rely on one's own power to shelter Bucce. Let Bucce people dominate the fate of one's own without leaving the nobles at the mercy of them." Brando seemed to understand what she thought, relieved: "Today you have done this. All this proves that your efforts have not been in vain. You set a goal for yourself. After all, realize the one's own promise."
"But ..."
"But what?"
"But I ca n’t help thinking, what would happen if I did n’t have today ’s status? Brando, how much I want Bucce people to dominate the fate of one's own, but the power of -- to determine everyone ’s fate is only transferred from nobles In my hands, they may be able to live a peaceful life from now on, but even they do n’t realize it. If one day I want to push them to the fire pit, everything will be the same again. ”Freya answered quietly Road.
"My child, but you wouldn't do that, isn't that so?" Marden replied.
"I know, but ..."
The old man seemed to know what Freya was going to say, interrupting her: "This is nobles Laws. If you are in it, you must abide by this Laws. You have done already well enough, my child."
Freya pouts her mouth tightly, refutes, but doesn't know how to speak. She always feels that there is something wrong, but she doesn't know where the problem is. Uncle Marden doesn't seem to say anything wrong, but she My heart was very guilty, as if after working hard, she didn't get the result she wanted; but she had a faint feeling, if there was someone who could answer her doubts, then that person must be Brando.
Every time she feels confused, she still looks at Brando with immediately.
"Captain Marden is right, Freya," Brando replied calmly, as if this question had never been the same for him: "Under the Laws of our time, this already is the best way It's over. "
The words Brando's are like a flame that illuminates the darkness and haze in Freya's heart. She reacted as if raises head came and asked, "Brando, do you mean, can Laws -- be changed?"
Brando smiled at her slightly: "Isn't this what we have been doing all along, me, you, Her Highness the Princess, and everyone is looking for and moving forward."
Freya opened slightly.
Marden seems to hear a hint of taste, can't help but look at this youngster he has only contacted twice in War of Black Rose, he feels that he sees each other more each time, but gets more each time Surprised.
Brando replied softly: "So Freya, you must not be arrogant, you must know what you are doing. Far more glorious and glorious than you think. Your origin, your qualifications, in this ideal In the face of faith, it is like a dust, not worth mentioning. Those who mock you and laugh at you. They do not understand what you think, because they cannot imagine the ancient glory -- of Aouine. This is ordinary people. The great cause is like the vow made by Xianjun in front of his sword. "
"youngster," Marden said a while later after listening, "Do you believe this?"
Brando nodded: "I'm convinced, no doubt, because I know that so many people have given everything to this end, and so many people have been struggling with this belief and ideal, and I dare not say if it is certain Will succeed or fail, but at least I understand. I won't let it stop halfway. "
He turned back and said to Freya: "Freya, do you remember what you said, you vowed to fight for the fate of independence and independence for Bucce people, and make each people who pursue happiness and beauty one day It ’s not at the mercy of others, do you remember what I said to you that day? "
"I remember," Freya nodded strongly. As if the haze that bothered her was just a layer of mist and veil, blowing gently. It has long since disappeared. She swears and replied generally: "Brando, I understand, I will will continue to persevere, even if the blood shed someday, you will never regret it. Brando, do you believe me. I will do it."
"You did it, silly girl." Brando heard that Freya said that even if it bleeds blood, it will never give up. In the history of Aouine's, the Valkyrie did indeed shed the last drop of blood for this ancient kingdom. .
Aouine's is ancient glory. That is the scene described in the legend, Marden dare not imagine, but the blood and impulse of youngster, he will not easily blame. In any case, as long as the Bucce person can have a better tomorrow than today, already is satisfied for him. He has seen too many things that are empty, he is getting old, and he no longer easily believes in the so-called beautiful vision He thought that was just a falsehood; but at least he understood that Freya was a good girl and would never push Bucce people to the fire pit, which was enough.
The war-torn and painful Bucce is nothing more than a hope to restore a peaceful life in the past.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but the Patrol Cavalry did not dare to act rashly. After a while, these youngsterss finally figured out the identity of the two people in front of them. --, so they were even more afraid to act rashly, but they were big in their hearts. Called unlucky. Bruglas has just gone through a war, and the coalition forces of Correct Trentheim, Lantolian and Viero rescued them from despair. However, in this war, the prestige of the Valkyrie around Count of Tonigel and Her Highness the Princess is even more powerful. People in the army who are related to noble will not have heard the names of these two people, but once they learned that both of them had a background of Bucce's, everyone suddenly had a kind of kick on the iron plate. feel.
They have no time to sigh for the Count Najin with no eyes, because compared with Count Najin, it can be said that the ignorant person is innocent, but they have slammed into the front of others. If this Lord Count wants to dispose of them, I am afraid no one Dare to go ahead for them.
The Patrol Cavalrys were uneasy, but did not expect that Brando and Freya had long forgotten them. -- Brando is not so small belly after all, not to mention he knows the customs of Golan-Elsen and even Callas. The **** youngsters fights and even duels are common Both sides were fairly disciplined. Although some people were injured, almost no one was killed, and he had no intention of blame. As for these things that Patrol Cavalry ran to gain extra money, it is such a custom that he ca n’t stop it, and he believes that with this lesson and his background of Freya, the other party may not make this mistake again in the future, it is not necessary The Bucce person offends people for no reason. After all, these young Patrol Cavalrys are mostly local gentry noble. If they really want to end their vengeance, he and Freya can't always be here.
WFreya did n’t even have that thought at all. She managed to return to her hometown once and saw all the familiar faces, especially those from the past militia team, such as Little Phineas. I told her story again, telling her story with 'Count of Tonigel Lord', but how can she and Brando have so many stories to tell, Freya made a big red face. For a long time, I couldn't tell why, so where do I remember what Patrol Cavalry.
Patrol Cavalry Captain Eugene waited there for a long time in panic and worry, but didn't wait for someone to announce the death penalty or pardon for them. At first he thought it was the Lord Count who intentionally left them here, but after waiting for a while , Finally felt like it was not the case. He managed to take a chance. I asked youngster of the militia team but asked why. youngster had been handed a sword by him before, and he was quite polite to his first Swordsmanship. Then he ran to ask Brando how to deal with these guys. Until now, Brando did not remember to return it. There are such a group of people waiting for their fate.
When Eugene appears in front of him with some sincerity, Brando can't help but be funny, he knows these guys well, no matter when he was a player in the previous life. Later, in Rydenburg, he had witnessed these treacherous and proud cavalry with his own eyes. In the early years, Patrol Cavalry was still part of the profession army where the kingdom was responsible for public security and defense. However, since the establishment of the security force, it has become a place for nobles to place cronies and arrange children. The noble of the army inevitably led to the relaxation of discipline and Deterioration. After Year of Flourishing Blossom and Summer Leaf, Patrol Cavalry is basically a dispensable already in many cities. In border cities like Bruglas, it is still slightly better, and it can still maintain basic combat power. And those cities that penetrate into the territory are pure swarms of maggots.
Actually he forgot these guys before. It was subconsciously that these guys already escaped, but he forgot in front of his real power Lord Count. It seems that these Patrol Cavalry dare not leave without asking.
Eugene was a little surprised to see Brando's at first glance. It was probably not expected that the legendary Lord Count was so young, but he also thought of some other rumors about this Count of Tonigel. --, such as the grandson of Sword Saint Darus. And some rumors of -- he and Her Highness the Princess are relieved again. Besides, it is often said that this adult is a young genius rarely seen in Aouine for a century. Only in this way can he deserve the title of young genius. He coughed quickly and straightened his posture. Bowing down and saluting: "Lord Count, today's thing ... Actually, it is actually a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Brando was still thinking about how this guy would apologize. He didn't expect such a boring old routine. There was no creativity at all. He couldn't help but yawned and asked, "What misunderstanding?"
"That's it, sir," Eugene hurriedly said, "... Everyone thinks we're here to help Count Najin drive them away from here. This is actually a rumor. I won't say anything to everyone Driving away from the forest itself is just a rumor, not to mention that even if it is true, this is not within our scope of responsibility. In fact, sir, we are here for other business. "
"Other business?"
"Sir, earlier we heard reports that a group of vicious gangsters appeared in Bruglas. These guys left the city around the evening. Later, our eyeliner found that they were in the vicinity, so I went all the way. Chase it over. "
"I guess, and then you hit Little Phineas again, they hit each other right?"
Eugene nodded, of course, he could of course put aside all the responsibilities, but he knew that he might not have cheated the young Lord Count, but it might as well be honest to avoid annoying people. Brando nodded and probably understood the cause and effect of the incident. I thought that these people searched all the way and then met the Little Phineas party. There was inherent resentment on both sides. Patrol Cavalry relied on many people and wanted to seize the opportunity to report revenge. . This is a more reasonable explanation. Brando is very clear that the so-called quest / mission will not be a thing for these nobles after all. As for the so-called wicked people, they will naturally be credited to them. That so-called credit.
But he is a little curious about what kind of so-called gangsters existence. In theory, there are many dead men in Bruglas city. To attract the attention of these Patrol Cavalry, at least To meet two conditions, -- must not be a local person. Most of the local desperate people have something to do with the Thief brotherhood or other grey area organizations. These organizations are inextricably linked to the local noble. Therefore, Patrol Cavalry generally does not have the trouble of finding their own family members, although even Brando does not say why Patrol Cavalry will become a family member with the desperate. This is also a landscape of Aouine in this era. Secondly, a certain number must be obtained. One or two criminals are not placed in the eyes of Patrol Cavalry. It is not that they do not want to control it, but that their efficiency is less likely to pay attention to existence.
The situation now is obviously that a large group of criminals have mixed in the city, so that even Patrol Cavalry is alarmed. Whatever Brando thinks, it feels a bit like Demonic Cultist's behavior style.
But when he asked about it, Eugene didn't say anything, but Little Phineas on the side seemed to hear something. He ran and said, "Brando Brother, I seem to know these guys."
"You know?"
Brando looked at him curiously.
