The Amber Sword: Act 113 The Wise Man Vala

The inference of the young NCO from Yanilas seems to give everyone a glimmer of hope. If they can easily reach Leeuwin, then according to Brando's, they should have a great possibility to leave Anzlova; everyone thinks so As long as they get on the boat and go out to sea, then the Gorgon Ravine people will be out of reach. For those cave dwelling monsters from the ground, at least on the sea, -- is still the world of the empire. The discussion quickly became active, but when everyone else was still thinking about how to get out of trouble, the Count of Swallowburg Young Lady came to think of the later things.

She asked, "Which route should we take after leaving Hong Kong? To Metz or Mantle Bay?"

The others were silent for a while, and finally O'Neill replied: "I think we should go to Mantle Bay. Metz is under the control of White's legion. Before we can not confirm Her Majesty's attitude, we cannot easily enter her. Sphere of influence. "At this moment she seemed to finally accept the possibility that the queen betrayed the empire, and took the lead in substituting this speculation in the conversation.

"no, no, no," Kiara shook its head: "Mantle Bay is the consistent sphere of influence of the Cecil family. It is controlled by Holy Cathedral of Fire. On the surface, it seems that it is farthest from the queen's control. But in fact, since everyone of this reason Understand, then the Queen Queen must also understand this. If on weekdays, there is naturally the farthest place from the Empire supreme one, but now, I think it may be the center of the vortex. "

"It doesn't make sense to say that ..."

"So we went to Metz, but what about legion?"

"No matter what legion is white, in addition to the white legion in the north, there is also the territory of Ludwig and Helix Archduke. In such a place where the power is complex and deeply entrenched, it is the most difficult place for imperial power to intervene . The more this time, Her Majesty, the less likely it is for Her Majesty to vacate make a move to sort out the relationship between tangled and complicated in these places, so we go there, but it is safe. "Kiara replied.

Others set their sights on Brando, who nodded slightly, thinking that these descendants of noble are not really useless. At least the plan they gave now is very feasible. He thought about it and replied, "Go to Metz."

Kiara is right. Northern noble forces tangled and complicated. Several Archduke territories are mixed with military noble forces. No matter how strong Her Majesty the Queen is, it is not possible to make make a move come to him in a short period of time. They sort out, so the north is the best place to find fish in muddy waters. But he had a little idea Kiara did not guess, Brando wanted to wait for the situation in the north further to be clear before acting: just as he said. The The Silver Queen has nothing to do with whoever he is dealing with. --, except for Scarlett, whether it is Holy Cathedral of Fire or an adult Duke, he cannot stand on the opposite side of each other for anyone, so he is the most Do not want to be involved in this vortex.

It is a last resort to oppose Dragon Queen, but now anyway he already knows her lord's 'conspiracy', so what he has to do now is try not to go to those sensitive areas, so as not to stimulate the person Her Majesty asked her to do something radical. In his opinion, Metz was fine. -- was under the control of Her Majesty the Queen. Outside of her control, it is a safe distance for both sides, at least not to make the other party misjudge.

In fact, the civil strife of the empire is undoubtedly the most hoped by Brando. Of course, the premise is not to be caught by the flames. He thinks that the best situation next is to look at Her Majesty and Holy Cathedral of Fire from a safe distance. Both defeats hurt. Then find a chance to rescue Scarlett. Of course, this is a bit difficult, but it is not easy to relax your dreams.

He thought about it and then said, "One more thing, I don't think you want to make it out of Anzlova. The black dragon was sunk by the Imperial Navy, right, so we have to do it in advance. To connect with the Empire, we have to assume that we can have any port in Metz to stay, who can do this?

"Lord Count ... If you are assured, I might try it," Brando replied with another stuttering voice, Brando looked back, and found that it was the fat body Master Ivoram. In his memory, the other party never spoke on such occasions, and couldn't help looking at this guy with some surprise. "However," Ivoram was a little embarrassed: "Maybe you can only borrow commercial ports ..."

"Enough." Brando waved his hand: "Good job, Ivoram, I didn't expect your family to have a network within the empire. Archduke of Callas is well-deserved."

This sentence is not a compliment. In the empire, in addition to Swallowburg, noble connected with the empire already is rare in this era. Even if it is a temporary authority character like Archduke of Anlieke, it is just a membership in the empire. Nameless people, except for those who are well-informed in some areas of the south of Anzeluta and the empire, do not necessarily have many people heard the name of Archduke.

And Archduke of Callas can keep in touch with the empire in this season, and even maintain a network that looks pretty good. This is indeed an extraordinary ability to describe.

Ivoram is also a little embarrassed by the compliment of Brando. I ca n’t help but smile at hehe. This is the first time he has found a sense of accomplishment in a formal occasion since the mission started from Aouine. for a moment ca n’t help but be proud of it. . Although if he had n’t really looked down on a hunk from a remote area like Brando earlier, after this series of events, he faintly felt that he could be praised by such a legendary Lord Count. Already.

Brando didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He didn't really hope much about this combination, but he unexpectedly made the descendants of the noble in the group beyond his imagination. --. But it should be the same. They were born in noble family, both in terms of education and vision are far higher than the contemporary commoner. Except for a few geniuses, in this environment, they are not really incapable, but they are willing to fall to forget it/that's all. , But once you have the momentum. The original knowledge and experience have turned into an outstanding ability, and these abilities are integrated with each other to achieve this scene, it is not an incredible thing.

After the discussion, everyone started to go to -- to organize the plan and arrange the route. Inventory the food and the weapons and ammunition reserves in the mission. Of course, the most important thing is to soothe those Kirrlutz noble, and we can't let them see the clue. Everyone is too busy to touch the ground. Only Romaine, Princess Magdelle, and silver dragon secrets The three ladies of Si Ruier seemed extraordinarily leisurely. As for the leisure of miss merchant, they seemed to be born with it, and they always found a way to be lazy. Ms. Yinlong looked at the human world's way of acting with curiosity, and asked Brando, such as: "As Thane. Is that how you control your envoys?" Such a ridiculous question.

"could it be that didn't humans look like this a thousand years ago?"

"Slightly different." Missel replied, staring at the Aouine ambassador member in the woods and a group of Kirrlutz nobles.

"Ms. Mithrey, you haven't returned to the human world for a thousand years since could it be that?" Magdelle looked back at her with surprise.

"As adult Colossal Dragon, we have to interfere as little as possible in the mortal world. Besides, we are mostly lazy and too lazy to leave Giant Dragon Valley. This time, if there is nothing special, I won't encounter Malthus them." Don't hide it, answer truthfully.

"so that's how it is --"

The three remained silent for a while. But Princess Magdelle was clever inside, and naturally understood that Brando intentionally left her for another purpose. She paused and asked again, "Lord Count, do you want to know something inside Holy Cathedral of Fire?"

Brando glanced at the latter with a little surprise, but did not expect her to guess the one's own idea **, and he nodded slightly for a moment.

"We said before. You have also heard that Her Majesty's behavior is abnormal. I want to know why there is no slight reaction on the surface of Holy Cathedral of Fire.

"Lord Count, this question is a little embarrassing to me." Princess Magdelle frowned slightly after listening. Then smiled bitterly.

"Why, is there some secret involved?" Brando asked: "If that's the case, Her Highness the Princess doesn't need to answer."

"That's not it."

Princess Magdelle sighed softly.

...

Holy Cathedral of Fire today ’s weak situation really started 150 years ago, while the son of Grantodi Great Emperor was still in place, under the advice of the old Nederhoven prime minister, to support and win over the local and military noble Today, the empire's three-legged empire has gradually formed, and Holy Cathedral of Fire's transcendental status has been gradually disintegrated for nearly six centuries since the year of revelation. The emerging noble and the insatiable leader noble stepped forward, dividing the empire one south and one north, and the royal family finally won the respite between the gaps. The eleventh son of Granto Great Emperor -- today The Silver Queen When his father died, the world-famous monarch once held a sword and a scepter on the sickbed, as if to show his dedication to life.

After Her Majesty ’s death, The Silver Queen came to power and gradually began to recover the excessive power in regional nobles. On the one hand, she continued to suppress Holy Cathedral of Fire, but on the other hand, she began to be wary of the noble Thanes in the north. one by one was resolved. Although the iron queen had a bad reputation in noble, she was also a wrist tough female emperor in Kirrlutz history.

It can be said that she paved the way for the reform of Kirrlutz. Behind her, the eldest son Lenarret made the empire's eagle soar in the sky. -- was the heyday of the empire. Even Vaunde continent on the only one could be the same as that era. The more powerful Madara, a longer and shorter country, --, is the weak shame of the empire since the silver's Four Borders Plain fiasco in the past thirty years. After that, the Kirrlutz Empire ushered in the heyday of kingship.

This is the original history that Brando is familiar with. The rise of imperial power and collateralism of Kirrlutzian, but only a few people in this world know that this history has been beyond recognition since the moment when Gorgon Ravine set foot on the ground. .

Whether it's Saint like Wadener's De Tess, or a character like Vala who is wise in the lion's palace, it is impossible to detect this.

Only for the generation of Cleric, which was born in the age of frogs, each, and experienced the entire process of Holy Cathedral from prosperity to decline, the past period of history is full of strange heavyness and unwillingness, so that it is sealed in dust Numerous documents documenting this history in the Hall of Candles. The lines between words are full of helplessness and sighs; and every Cleric who has read this history will involuntarily produce too many ifs.

If the previous generation Cleric is not so arrogant and arrogant, if the Priests of Rosher's generation can face up to himself and the power of regional nobles earlier, if the Holy Cathedral at that time is not so trustworthy for the so-called absolutes of believers and beliefs for centuries Control, maybe today's Kirrlutz will be another look.

And some low-level Cleric Similarly, Lava also likes to read about in the hallway of Candle Hall Holy Cathedral Past literature. However, as the head of the Holy See of the Lion Temple, he still enjoys some small privileges. -- For example, a special place, a comfortable chair, and a special candlestick; most monks know High Priest Some of your little habit, so it will be arranged in advance, and since this Year of Piano The big men who have begun to teach the church also enjoy this small special treatment.

It's not about comfort, it's a symbol of power.

Unique, supreme.

Lawa is not a person who is greedy for power, compared with those who are truly drunk and dreaming of noble. His life is actually more like a real bitter monk, without much enjoyment, even a bit too poor for people in his position. He rarely appears in the vision of believers, although he is famous in the capital. But there are not many people who really understand him. Among his few opponents and allies, Her Majesty the -- may be one.

But Lava attaches great importance to the authority of one's own. He believes that this is one of the most important things that Holy Cathedral has lost in the past century because of not paying attention.

Today is as usual. The High Priest put a silk bookmark after reading the last paragraph. He closed the book and flicked it with his fingers. The flame on the silver candlestick flickered and then went out. He put everything meticulously back into place, but did not stand up from his chair, and Put your hand on the red monk's robe. Waiting quietly.

After a while, Sidney, who is known as the Holy Virgin of the Lion Palace, walked from the other end of the corridor like Spectre.

The lady first glanced at the books on the bookshelf that had been moved --. As usual, the most frequently read books of Vala are still some records related to that history, and she was slightly expressionless. He frowned, but didn't say much. He only answered in an endorsed tone: "Helix Archduke was just assassinated and injured, and now lives in the Rose Garden. As for those rumors, it was made up by a man named Nicol."

"Who is that?" Vala asked.

"An irrelevant little man who has been hiding in Accordion Alley since recent times."

"What now?"

"-- in the dungeon of the trial house"

"Are there any questions?"

"This person took over from Eugene half a month ago."

Vala seems to be thinking about a problem, so the eyes are also focused on the silver candlestick, motionless. After a long while, he asked, "Is that the high level Priest Eugene from Kocha?"

Sidney nodded.

Vala purse up thightly lip, and the white eyebrow also wrinkled. Sidney's answer made him feel that this was the split and betrayal from the inside of Holy Cathedral. Coca was led around Lucita. The importance of high level Priest in this area It is self-evident to Holy Cathedral of Fire: "It was also him who first responded to Her Majesty's call, and eleven people arrived with him at Lucita to investigate them."

"Caesar already set out to do it."

"Is the person who assassinated Helix Duke clear?"

"It seems the same people."

Vala frowned slightly, smelling a trace of conspiracy, already was not just betrayal, someone was keenly aware of this against Holy Cathedral.

Holy Cathedral's enemies in the empire are all from the three parties, the military nobles of wild and intractable in the north of Metz, Anzeluta in the south, led by the Palut family in the south, noble, and Her Majesty, who is it?

"Since recently, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister of Nederhoven have been very close." Sidney said at this time.

Vala raised eyebrow: "Who told you?"

"Cecil Duke."

"What else did he say?"

Sidney did not say a word, she wasn't good at speech at first, but Vala seemed to understand what she meant by already.

What does Her Majesty do?

"One more thing."

"Huh?"

"About a month ago, Nederhoven's daughter went to Anzlova." Sidney answered quietly.

"Daughter of Nederhoven," Vala thought for a while before realizing that Sidney was talking about Nederhoven Jr.. He hesitated for a moment, and asked with some doubt: "It's that stubborn little girl. I remember her name Then, Delphine, yes, that's the name. "Vala tapped his forehead with his finger, and suddenly frowned:" She went to Anzlova. What did she go there a month ago? "
