The Amber Sword: Act 51 The third letter
The grey gem appears to be dim and dazzling under the light. This contradictory feeling is so natural on this gem, it seems to be attracted by people at first glance. Like the mind, anyone who sees this gem for the first time will know that it is extraordinary. However, this gray gem seemed so familiar to Brando that he opened Dimensional Hole and took out another almost identical grey gem in his hand, and then slowly opened the palm of his hand, Freya gave a soft exclaim .
"Brando, the gem in your hand is exactly the same as that left by your grandfather. Is this the Darus adult's leave to you?"
Brando took a look at this Aouine's Valkyrie and startled the latter. Freya never saw him show such a weird look. subconsciously thought he was saying something wrong.
Brando gently breathed in, and then put the gem back to -- In fact such a gem, he still has one. He has seen something similar twice. The first time was in Faithwind Circle. The second time was under the glaciers of the Dead Frost Forest. In Faithwind Circle, Deacon Amman and Wind Empress Saers call this gem Sealing Stone, and under the glacier, Miirna enshrines it as relic. But he knew in his heart what the -- Dragon of Darkness soul fragment was.
This gray gem exudes a unique brilliance, because its internal already is transparent, which proves that the heritage already in the gem has been draws.
And this gem --
It is the relic of his grandfather.
Sword Saint Darus is Dragon of Darkness? Brando was startled by his sudden thoughts. This seems to explain why Darus was tried by Holy Cathedral of Fire, exiled, and chose to leave the power center of the kingdom and hide in hiding; why in the Holy War that day, allies suddenly fell away Opposite, because Sword Saint Darus is Dragon of Darkness, because there is such a truth, everything seems to make sense. He shook his head again, but this did not explain why they would be attacked from behind by Madara Undead Army's when they were Holy War for the third time in game.
Moreover, if one's own grandfather is Dragon of Darkness, then Holy Cathedral of Fire is unlikely to let him go like this, Dragon of Darkness is the enemy of Four Holy Cathedrals after all.
Another doubt comes from the life of his grandfather. In the Brando memory, the one's own grandfather died of illness, but in fact he died of gradual aging and decay of physical functions. His ultimate life can only be regarded as an ordinary person. It is relatively long-lived, but in the realm of Sword Saint Darus's strength, this is the death of the British youth. He had doubted this in the early days, not to mention that after getting Dragon of Darkness' inheritance, the life span would be greatly improved. He knows what Dragon of Darkness' inheritance means -- but Godsblood.
Brando The knuckles on the desk gently tapped on the desk's tabletop, and the suspicion of sinus rebirth in the heart, as if there was a faint line in the thoughts, but he could not catch the end of the line.
At this time, Freya suddenly said: "Brando, Amandina, look at this map."
Brando had some speculations and conclusions at the moment in already's mind. His raises head looked at the simple map, but it was okay to look at it, but his mind was slightly surprised. Because on that papyrus map, I just sketched out a few simple lines with some kind of hard-to-fader pen, and then wrote some notes in a crooked manner. The whole picture almost made people not understand what was drawn, but He suddenly felt as if he had seen the map there.
Is it game?
He immediately shook his head. There are very few secret maps in game. Sophie has touched a few, but most of them are clearer than this. In this life, he had fewer secret maps, almost no --. About this map, although he had an impression in his mind, he could never remember seeing it there for a while.
Freya looked at him and Amandina, and then said, "These annotations are also code. It seems that there is a place called Osopa."
"Osopa?" Amandina said: "Aouine doesn't have such a place."
"There is no Kirrlutz." Brando replied, he took a deep breath: "This is the Miirna's place name, Miirna had a war with Kirrlutzian, Wind Elf there."
He suddenly remembered. It felt like another image came out of subconsciously in my mind, and this image naturally overlapped with this humble map, which made him stunned, and suddenly remembered seeing this map here . Miirna, Tumen, Tumen once hid a map in his mind when he officially set foot on the road of Planeswalker, and that map occasionally appeared in his mind, but when he took the initiative to remember, but a little bit Can't think of it, because of Correct, he will have a familiar and unfamiliar feeling before.
He thought about it at the moment. The map given by Tumen only has undulating mountains and rivers, but Amandina's father marked it with the mark. The place pointed to by Freya is Correct, the Osoopa Plain --. It is today's field of four-leaf clover, but there are still some places. Brando thought that it should also be the Miirna's place name, which corresponds to today's place name one by one. It ’s just that there is a big blank on the map left by Amandina ’s father. Although Brando did n’t know why Borg Nesson would draw such a map, he also thought faintly that the latter might be looking for something, and this thing is not only a thousand years ago. Miirna Related to the war of Black Iron races.
I'm afraid it's also related to his grandfather.
"Master Grandfather, where are you sacred?" Brando couldn't help moaning in her heart.
He looked at these three things on the desk, and his doubts in for a moment became deeper than when he didn't find these clues. It seemed that after clearing the mist, he found that there were dark clouds behind him, and he could not see his five fingers; , Finally couldn't help but open the spirit / mind connection, and said to the other end Ciel and Medissa: "Ciel, Medissa, are you there, I have a question for you."
Unexpectedly, he just spoke, Ciel heard some surprise voices: "Ha, Lord Thane, I was looking for you, I heard your voice unexpectedly, we really have Lingxi ..."
"Less nonsense," Brando interrupted his teasing in annoyance: "Ciel, I ask you, do you know the two men who are afraid of Mead and Sheppard?"
The voice over there was excited: "Oh my god, Lord Thane, what do you ask them for?"
"That means you know?"
"Naturally, they are your grandfather's servants. Pamid is from the Anna family and is the second son of Count of Greymount. Sheppard is a young noble family from Sifah. He was a famous genius.
Ciel paused and continued: "Brando, could it be that, did you find them?"
Brando shook his head: "I just heard it by accident."
"Did your father tell you," Ciel sighed, "I've been looking for them."
"So you don't know their situation?"
"Lord Thane, when they received the order from Her Highness the Princess, they said goodbye. I know what they must know, so they have been looking for them," Ciel replied.
Brando frowned, and asked keenly: "Her Highness the Princess?"
Ciel's sounds dumb, and then said, "Ah, you heard it wrong, Lord Thane."
"Ciel, I heard Tiger Sparrow said that the scenery of Gemstone Plains is very good. I think it's time to give you a vacation for so long." Brando threatened silently.
Ciel's's voice almost cried out: "Okay, Brando, don't keep me in confinement, listen to me ... well, that Her Highness the Princess ... you know, your father was bad One point became the engagement contractor of an aunt of Princess Gryphine. "
"Someone?"
"I'm inconvenienced to disclose her name. I have to protect the reputation of a lady. Besides, she doesn't necessarily meet with you." Ciel said helplessly.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's true." The young attendant Wizard promised swearingly.
Brando frowned, always felt that this guy's words could not be believed, but if the other party said, the clue seems to be broken again.
He shook his head and suddenly remembered: "What's the matter with you?"
"Ah, ah, don't you have something to ask Medissa?" Ciel was sweating a lot, seize the moment wanted to set aside the topic, but he heard Brando snorted, and quickly answered: "Well, I mean, If the matter over your side is not very urgent, you better listen to a message from me first. "
"What news?" Brando froze.
"It was a Magic message from her Young Countess's men, and she passed it to me."
"Delfhyr?"
...
Her Highness the Princess has a silver brooch in front of her. She picks up the brooch, admires it carefully, and then lowers it silently.
She remembers the situation -- that afternoon
The afternoon sunlight seems to have a certain Hexi taste, the leaves are rustling, except for the silent silence; she gently lifts her toes, and then slowly retracts, the cold lips touched away. Brando stared, looking at Her Highness the Princess with some incomprehension.
"Brando Qing, I'm really grateful to hear that you are still going down this road; however, I still hope that you can seriously consider our engagement."
"Why?" Brando asked with a frown.
"Aouine is a small country. To resist potential enemies, you must concentrate the power of the entire kingdom, and even restore the ancient system." Gryphine retreat A few steps, carefully looking at the light silver grey, bright eyes He: "But this ancient kingdom has gone through two generations of Sifah and my family. I know it too well. -- nobles under the control of my father Wang, with different minds, short-sightedness, and ideals, but few of them are --. People, not trustworthy. "
As if to strengthen this sentence, she shook her head slightly: "The kingdom must re-focus power, re-establish the local tax system that had been interrupted by already since the Anson era, and weaken the military power of nobles, but ..."
Brando suddenly understood the meaning behind 'but' -- Southern Territory already has the foundation for restoring the kingship, but the decision of the entire Southern Territory future falls on him instead. If he supports Princess without reservation, then Whether Duke of Lantolian, Viero Duke, or Duke of Golan-Elsen are against it, can't change the final result. -- autumn twilight war, already let people see that Trentheim has such a decisive military force.
But if he opposes, or even just keeps the status quo, regional nobles will take the lead and remain indifferent. Indeed, Viero Duke is the grandfather of Princess, Duke of Lantolian is at least nominally an ally of Princess, and Highland Knights is aloof. However, regional nobles and the central royal family naturally have opposition Attributes; Viero Duke will never risk losing power to support one's own Granddaughter, Duke of Lantolian is the same. They are happy to see a close to the one's own royal family, but they will not let it overtake them.
This is a natural conflict between the philosophy of Princess and the core interests of Duke.
But what will he do?
The kingdom must re-focus its power. Trentheim and Valhalla cannot naturally be aloof, or even bear the brunt. Her Highness the Princess wants him to set an example, but can he believe that this half-elven girl, Trentheim, Valhalla was established by him hand in hand, it is the hope and future of many people. Red Copper Dragon Mercenary Company has experienced November War veterans, Grudin Persecuted adventurers, residents of Green Village, and even Amandina and Cagliss, their vision entangled him. This is the responsibility brought by power. Can he pass this responsibility on to others?
He weighed all of this silently in his heart. Emotionally, he was willing to believe that Her Highness the Princess --. She can adhere to the one's own ideal. She has the heart to pursue kindness and fairness. She is Aouine's Eldest Princess. She has conquered the confession of countless players in history. Her Highness the Princess. But after all, no one is perfect. In this life, will she be at the mercy of the noble mentality in her nature, hesitating, and compromising to the conservative forces -- is related to the fate of many people; reasonably tells Brando that Her Highness the Princess is inherent in nature. On the weak side, she is not the true reformer.
And it all depends on the tenderness in her nature.
History has commented on everything, and today it depends on his choice. Brando is very clear that he is different from Her Highness the Princess. He has no foundation in this world. The only concern is his parents who can only meet today. However, Princess Gryphine has a constant connection with the old noble. She is not a ruthless The Silver Queen.
Brando looked at Princess Gryphine in front of him, Princess was half a head shorter than him, slightly raised his head, and the eyes of pale silver grey did not shy away from looking at him; her pursed up lips, a silver curly hair scattered down, in the sun The beautiful luster flashes underneath, and the pointed ears show a little from under the long hair, showing that it belongs to the bloodline side of the elf. No one would doubt the beauty of this Her Highness the Princess, not only mixed with the nobility of the royal family on earth, but also brought nature and closeness with the wind blowing in the forest.
Brando Of course I won't forget, there is still a girl's fragrance on her lips.
"I know what you are thinking about, Brando Qing," Princess Gryphine saw him understand, and said, "But if someone who can determine the future of a kingdom is too naive, it may not be to you or to me. A good sign. "
Brando heard what she said, so she asked, "So what should Her Highness the Princess think I should do?"
Princess Gryphine looking at Brando, he can actually follow the same path as Anlieke, dethrone her and Halutz, and stand on his own. His strength is actually better, and he has the ability and time to do so. But if he does so, he will lose his reputation and righteousness. If all he needs is a throne and supreme power, he can choose this path. But if he chooses the latter way, he loses far more than he gets.
Her Highness the Princess's eyes were slightly bright, she looked at this unusual noble -- Lord Count -- and quietly replied, "Marry me."
"I'm Halutz's sister. Actually, I don't have the right to inherit the throne, and as my husband, you can manage and rule this country justly according to the tradition of the kingdom. At that time, Trentheim and Valhalla were the royal family. Territory, Viero, Lantolian, and even Golan-Elsen and Callas surrender to you, is a matter of course. "She paused:" ... However, there is no one who cares about the throne and can inherit this position, only Halutz, or him descendant. "
Isn't this just Anlieke, but the conditions are much harsher, Brando could not help but smile after listening to Her Highness the Princess: "Her Highness the Princess, but this doesn't sound like I'm marrying you, it's like I'm marrying you. ... "
Princess Gryphine smiled slightly, she saw that Brando didn't care about the power in his hands.
"But I have a fiancée in already," Brando can only answer: "Let's let this matter first."
"it doesn't matter, then I'll wait for your reply." Princess Gryphine didn't bother, but smiled slightly.
Brando can only flee.
Gryphine pressed her brooch with her fingers, as if she had recovered from her memories. She raised her eyes and looked at the Twilight's scenery outside the window.
At this time, Dududu knocked outside the door. She listened a little for a moment, and then said, "Come in, Mrs. Hill." After the door opened, it really appeared outside. It was her maid. The woman in her forties, holding a letter in her hand, stood outside the door respectfully and said, "Her Highness the Princess."
"It's so late, is there anything wrong?" Princess Gryphine looked at her and asked.
"There is a letter from Wahlendenberg." Mrs. Hill replied.
"Is it for me?"
"Yes, it is a letter from Mr. Oberbeck."
Gryphine took the letter, opened the envelope, and unfolded the letter inside, and read it carefully. She first raised her eyebrow slightly, and then her face changed color.
‘-- would like to inform Her Highness the Princess that the Queen Kirrlutz Empire silver has recently awarded a female Count title. According to reliable information, this newly-born Lord Count comes from Aouine and has a close relationship with Count of Tonigel. --’
