The Amber Sword: Act 49 The two letters iv
There is some silence between them, as if thinking about such a proposition in their hearts.
A moment later, Brando asked: "Amandina, do you know what your father did before?"
Miss Adviser gently shook his head: "I am not too clear Chu. Since the day I was educated, my life is still peaceful and good. It is no different from other household of our class. In Bruglas, my father has several industries and his source of life is Before the disappearance of his last period of time, it was still Stability. I only know that my father had a short period of time when he was young, but specifically, neither my father nor my mother told me. "
Brando Gently pursed his lips.
He was thinking of a few things, what exactly is the 'factual truth and fragmentary riddles finally formed in the picture' referred to in the letter, what they and the one's own grandfather experienced, and the Her Highness the Princess referred to in the letter is Who was --? He was sure it would not be Princess Gryphine. At that time, she and Halutz were not born yet. In the end, why are there such a letter in the hands of these insignificant Demonic Cultist, Origin Association acts closely, and Magusk and Tirste are unlikely to hand over such important things to a group of puppets.
The cautiously the envelopers put this envelope into the cover of "All Things Bible", apparently understand the value of this letter.
"Amandina," Brando raised the letter: "Do you think they have any chance of seeing the contents of this letter."
Of course, he was referring to those Demonic Cultist, Amandina glanced over there, and shook his head decisively and surely: "They can't see it. It is the method of my father's family unique that can make this letter show the text. . "
"Yes," Brando suddenly remembered, "how did you recognize this letter?"
Amandina immediately answered, "Because there is a special mark on my father's letter, this mark can hide them, but it cannot be hidden from me."
"But you haven't seen this parchment before, have you?" Brando was a little puzzled.
Amandina opened his mouth and hesitated for a while before answering: "Lord Thane, Dean previously told me that these people broke into my house and found my father's old house in Juan District. I was skeptical of already at that time. I think they probably got news about my father legacy from some channels. That letter may have arrived in their hands like this, but they may not understand the letter, otherwise they will not go to waste. "
Brando pressed his hand on the parchment and was attracted by the words of Amandina: "You said they were in vain. You knew that your father's legacy was not there, yes, you said earlier what your parents lived in Where? "
"In the old town, the Grey Rat Street --"
Brando and Amandina are discussing, while Freya and Little Phineas assist the Patrol Cavalry team to monitor the restless Demonic Cultist. After a night of toss, the east sky is faint and white. Tadesa sinks into the horizon, and a new day comes with already. Already.
Patrol Cavalry cleared the hunter ’s camp before dawn. Eugene thanked Brando before leaving. Patrol Cavalry Captain was very complimented, as if compared with this little credit, it is the ability to climb up the relationship with this Lord Count. important things.
Brando did not tear him apart, but thanked him sincerely. The two parties were separated outside the forest. Patrol Cavalry's youngsters had a good impression of this Lord Count, which had nothing to do with, and repeatedly told him that he must go to hang when these desperate people were hanged. Brando didn't understand how these people were so interested in the hang. As if it wasn't killing but some kind of entertainment. Eugene also promised to persuade Chamber of Nobles to send him a bronze star flame medal, but the star flame medal has been flooded since the Anson era, and is not as precious as the Candlelight Medal that only the royal family and Holy Cathedral of Fire are eligible to issue.
...
The old town of Squirrel Street was completely renovated as long as already, and merged into the scope of public graveyard. It is not too far from Amandina's residence on Gravedigger's Street. Facing the underground cemetery, the street is sparsely populated and cold even during the day. The cemetery is located behind a Holy Cathedral belonging to Grim Reaper. The Holy Cathedral is quietly located at the junction of Squirrel Street and Gravedigger Street. Brando allowed Dean to buy the monks in Holy Cathedral before agreeing to let them enter the public graveyard to take a look Look, the old monk wearing a taupe monk robe took them through the large and small corridors supported by countless arching beam, and then came through a small door behind Holy Cathedral. After passing through a forest, he entered the public graveyard. range.
Here is a quiet place surrounded by trees. The open space between the treetop arches is filled with many unknown or famous tombstones. Several slab paths surround it, leading to the misty and unknown forest land.
"He doesn't worry about us?" Freya saw the old monk return to Holy Cathedral, closed the door, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"He is timid, I heard that there are many legends about this graveyard, but I heard that there are many strange things wandering in the forest, and people are killed near here every year." Little Phineas quite Replied in disdain.
"It's not so scary, it's just to deceive outsiders, because some people want to use this coat to do illegal -- murders, secret transactions, and whispers in the forest are all conspiracies and poison schemes. In fact, these old monks are The clearest person, "after listening to Little Phineas, Dean smiled and replied:" Anyway, as long as someone pays, he doesn't care what we are going to do. "
"But they are not afraid ...?" Even though already has seen a lot, Freya still can't believe it.
"These are open secrets, tombs and corpses, and even which monks Necromancer secretly bought corpses from as a research material. There is a huge underground black market here, can't those monks know?"
Freya vomited one breath lightly, a little disgusted: "It is a blasphemy."
"Necromancers also believes in Marsha, isn't that so?" Dean replied indifferently.
Freya frowned at him, the teenager realized that he seemed to say something wrong, and hurriedly added: "The monks and Holy Cathedral of Fire are inextricably linked. Even noble is unwilling to provoke them. , nobles has a family tomb, and they are not willing to intervene. What can we do? Those Necromancer are mostly members of grey area, and most people don't dare to offend them. "
Freya knew that what he was telling was true. Although he didn't like to listen, he just frowned and didn't open her mouth. She clenched her teeth tightly, causing people to worry that the old monk would call her if she appeared in front of her again. Pull the sword to pierce through the heart.
Brando does not see any expression on his face. Dean said all these things that he used to do, but it is not necessary to say that there is no danger in this graveyard. How would a normal place be like here? Cloudy, with visibility no more than ten meters? The surrounding trees surround it, as if the sun can't penetrate it. At this time it is just after noon, but in graveyard it seems that it is very -- in the evening and it is still cloudy. The supernatural mystery comes from the underground, where there is a larger underground Public Graveyard of graveyard, Bruglas, which is full of crises and filled with Wight and the skeletons of activities. Since the age of the roar, not many people dare to enter underneath.
But that's not their purpose today. He asked the Amandina around him: "Amandina, are you sure you are here?"
The temperature in graveyard has dropped a few degrees below the outside temperature. Amandina's face is freezing blue. She pressed her shawl and whispered: "The residential area around that area was demolished already as early as 20 years ago. Yes, it ’s graveyard, but I heard that my parents had rented the house and fortunately kept it. A gravekeeper lived there.
"There are still gravekeepers here?" Freya was slightly surprised, she thought that this place would be lawless at all.
"At least nominally," Amandina is a local, after all, Dean said she actually heard more or less, but she did n’t want to speak forget it/that's all, she frowned: "I heard he Help those grave robbers carry the corpses out and run this invisible industry. "
"Industry." Freya almost fainted.
Brando heard her giggle as she bit her teeth.
It didn't take long before they found the house where the gravekeeper lived. Amandina still kept the direction in memory. Dean actually found that place. --. They passed through the lush forest and the tombstones. I saw a two-storey independent wooden house in the mist, standing alone in the depths of the forest. Dean had already contacted the gravekeeper. The gravekeeper naturally did not know the identity of Brando's, but heard that a noble came, thinking that he had encountered a big sale, and he had been waiting respectfully.
The gravekeeper is an old slipper. The real name has long been forgotten, like a bone buried in the ground. He looks exactly like the image of profession in the mind of Brando, which makes people think they have encountered it. A living Wight -- with a bent back and a humpback, a figure of hunched back, has the same effect as the strange man Casimodor in the Holy Mother courtyard in Paris, but the latter has a noble spirit / mind. The former has only a bad stomach; it is difficult to tell his age His face is full of folds, but his eyes are still alive. It seems that he is always turning around with a spooky idea, with already on top of his head, and a few sparse hairs are standing upright, as if it is the shrinking of the forest in the mist. Engraved.
Freya coldly looking at this guy, Brando is too lazy to be such a small person. In fact, sometimes these glimmering industries may not be what these people are willing to do. He understands that in this era where everyone has lost more or less, Responsibility should not be counted on one's head, otherwise it would be pure anger. However, this does not mean that he is willing to deal with this kind of people too much. He glanced at this guy, and even the cold thoughts were unfulfilled, and he directly asked: "What do we have, do you know already?"
The tomb guard quickly nodded and handed a bunch of keys to Brando respectfully. This is Dean's account for a long time. Although he doesn't know what this young noble wants to borrow from his house, he knows at least Dean. The teenager gave him a lot of money -- that naturally cannot be Dean. He knew very well that he could n’t ask more about anything in this place. Who knew what noble wanted to do, and the more he knew, the more dangerous it was, not to mention that nobles had some weird hobbies, and he took a quiet look at the Brando behind him. The two beautiful girls were turning their hearts to some unseen thoughts, but they didn't show anything on the surface.
For him, just get the money.
Freya watched the gravekeeper leaving afar, got into the mist, and clenched and loosened several times without knowing, the guy looked at her with greedy and filthy eyes and thought she was I haven't seen it, she almost couldn't help but have an attack several times, but after all, she is not the little girl who just stepped out of Bucce and has nothing to do with. Brando looked at her and Amandina apologetically, and the sullenness in the hearts of the two women disappeared naturally.
The three entered the room. -- Dean and Little Phineas consciously stood outside. In fact, Brando does not need to avoid Little Phineas, but the latter understands that they need to stay and watch this boy. This is also the -- Amandina that Brando had previously told him to enter. The room one by one took a look, as if to find out the traces of her parents' life from this ancient room, but she was doomed to be disappointed, the room was full of coffins, and it was filled with a disgusting Smell, Miss Adviser went from downstairs to upstairs, and then back to the living room, his face was very ugly, and he was nauseated.
"Is this here?" Brando looked at her face and couldn't help asking.
Amandina nodded silently.
"Can you confirm where?"
"Behind the house, there is a black pine tree. If I remember correctly, it should be under the tree. There is a small pool there, so it should not be classified as graveyard. I remember my father once told me Once. "Amandina recalled and replied," He and his mother met at the dance party in Baden. The first date was this place ... "She looked at it with disgust:" Of course, it was still here at that time. In residential areas, you can see the Bucce river not far. "
"Let ’s go to the yard," Freya said with a frown, "I do n’t want to stay here for a while, it ’s awful, this guy turned this place where Amandina parents lived before into this Looks like -- is so black! "
Brando couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is probably the so-called hate master. This house is actually no big deal to him in the -- gravekeeper's house. Shouldn't this be the case? The stench is nothing but The stale smell and corpse odor forget it/that's all, although the gravekeeper did not give people hope, but was condemned because of this matter, and suffered a bit of innocence. But he didn't dare to speak in front of the two ladies, because he saw Amandina and gave Freya a grateful look.
It seems that the relationship between the two has become better since they cried in front of their mother.
It's like the traditional structure of the house in the Bruglas area. The kitchen opens to the back door. Amandina takes them to the back yard. Sure enough, there is a tall black pine behind the house, but the pond already in the memory is dry. Fortunately, The tomb guard did not turn his backyard into graveyard. No one in the yard had touched it yet. But Amandina can't determine where his father's legacy is buried under the black pine tree, so Brando and Freya can only dig a circle under the tree. Fortunately, there are shovel in the house of the gravekeeper, and both of them have Endless strength.
At the beginning of an hour or two, they had nothing to gain. The father of Amandina seemed to bury things extremely deep. -- or they guessed wrong, things are not here at all. -- or already was dug away. The deeper you dig, the imaginable thing is missing. But when Freya was digging about two or three meters deep in a certain direction, she suddenly stumbled and felt something hard. She immediately realized what she might have found, and quickly stopped to lay the soil in that place. Looking away, it turned out that buried under the soil was a rusty iron box.
This box is not too big. It is about the size of a suitcase. Freya hurriedly called for Brando and Amandina. The three dug together to dig out the box from under the soil. After they cleaned the box, a emblem embossed on the surface of the box was exposed on the front of the box. The shield-shaped emblem was divided into four grids, and two crisscross grids each had a crescent. Brando couldn't bear to see this emblem He quietly snorted. The crescent is the Aouine's logo. The emblem of the royal family of Sifah is a crescent emblem inlaid in the full moon, while the emblem of the Corcova family is derived from the three oblique crescents on the emblem -- shield of the Sifah royal family. Wherever Crescents on family emblem are more or less connected with the blood of the royal family.
Brando couldn't help but glance at Amandina. I did not expect that her family had at least some kind of relationship with the royal family, but he lacked enough Emblem knowledge, otherwise he would probably recognize that the relative of the king. Offspring.
"My father is noble, Lord Thane from Sifah ..." Amandina had to explain quietly.
Brando It is not surprising that noble of Sifah has more or less connection with the royal family. But this doubt was only flashes in his mind. He quickly put aside this idea and glanced at Amandina. At least for the moment, the person most suitable for opening this box is undoubtedly Correct the noble Young Lady.
