The Amber Sword: Act 128 Memory?
The stars are like dust.
Silver Robe Wizard disappeared behind doorway of light one by one. Thurman watched his hands on the ship's side, leaned forward to stare at his Brando, smiled slightly, and then turned to step into doorway of light; he was the last Buga to leave. The ring doorway of light on the horizontal bridge turned clockwise half a turn behind him, then quickly shrank, turning into a light spot, and slowly falling to the ground like a dust.
The port of Leeuwin under the night, after a fierce battle in the daytime, seems to be stricken, and there is no one in already in the quiet city. The port of Leeuwin was not large. Except for noble, which was not willing to participate in the one's own industry, most of the commoners had already left in the early days of the war and fled. The remaining refugees had already been arranged by the Brando for the Aouine missions. Kirrlutz noble is very dissatisfied with these commoner and Space because they have to occupy their limited survival resources. Brando is too lazy to care about these people. This belongs to Valhalla and belongs to his fleet. He does not need to bother.
The silver fleet is floating above the dock like a school of fish. The frigates, large and small, surround several battleships that are obviously larger than one circle. In the center of the entire fleet, it is the flagship Akhenaten. . Under the clear starlight, the sailor tightened the rope in the commander's call, while silver light's sparkling sails were rising, Brando listened to the call, and his heart was calm. He saw above armor plates, NCO Marjorie from Yanilas and command sailors rolled down a wooden bucket full of fresh water and food down to the armor plates. The young guys who went to sea for the first time could not talk about any proficiency, but they were better at working hard.
The springboard to the cross bridge on the side of the ship not only was not stowed, but an extra one was added. A ojou-sama, who has always been a ambassador of Aouine, stood on the edge of the springboard and wore a thick fur coat. Still wearing a mink shawl and a cute round hat, she seemed to be unable to stand the bitter cold wind at high altitudes, rubbing her hands, and her bare face was freezing red.
But even so, she told the sailors seriously: "You are so clumsy. It is really worrying. Please be careful in a while, it is a nobleman of real origin Elegant lady, do n’t scare people! ”
"No problem, Romaine ojou-sama."
"Yes, ojou-sama, you go to the cabin first. If you freeze three long and two short, Lord Thane will get angry again later." Unfortunately, the sailors are very familiar with the ojou-sama's temperament, but not afraid at all. He laughed and replied.
"Do n’t stop talking nonsense. You Lord Thane have a good temper, so you won't get angry." Romaine retorted quickly, but having said that, she still looked at Brando in guilty conscience, Those who were absent-minded could not help but sighed in relief. She patted her chest and couldn't help but be ashamed and angry: "Nonsense, I will arrange you to wash armor plates!"
The sailors shut up giggling.
Brando waits until the ojou-sama turns around. Only withdrew his gaze and shook his head and laughed. There is a faint realization in my heart --
Buga people and Four Holy Cathedrals already are aware of the one's own error, because it is impossible to achieve justice through deception. If there is a deviation in the direction from the beginning, the goal achieved will only produce bitter fruit. But is Her Majesty the Queen standing on the opposite side of Four Holy Cathedrals? Brando does not think it is necessary.
Because Buga people. Dragon Race and Four Holy Cathedrals are at least one point correct: crazy behavior can only promote order to perish, it is impossible to bring new life to the ruins, no one is qualified to determine the fate of others, and no one is qualified to drag this world into In the midst of war; blood cannot bring about revolution, it can only arouse infinite hatred.
"Maybe I don't know how to stand on the side of justice."
"But at least I know. What are beautiful and precious things in this world."
"I also know how to use the sword as Knight." Brando murmured to himself: "So the queen is indeed on the path of paranoia."
A black carriage, like the Spectre, appeared on the bridge. It quietly headed for the Akhenaten, then stopped by the springboard. Although the sailors were humming forward, but at this moment, they were in a good mood, because the three Valkyrie -- escorted by the carriage were riding the flame war horses, holding spear wearing battle armour and Female Knight. Showed amazing strength during the war, and there are still people in the mission that need their protection? Everyone was taken aback.
Not only these sailors, but the nobles that saw this scene on all warships near and far away are puzzled by subconsciously. Most people immediately set their sights on the flagship --. The mysterious Lord Count already got on board, then the carriage will be Who? could it be that is Aouine's's Her Highness the Princess who came here in person?
Even the envoys looked at each other, O'Neill couldn't help but banged his elbow on the arm of Marjorie: "Did you see Princess Magdelle?" she asked. The young NCO shook her head: "She is on the boat, and the boat with Judy."
"What about the ojou-sama of Swallowburg Family?"
"Delfhyr Young Lady? I just saw her just now."
"Who is it, could it be that is really Her Highness the Princess?" Viero Duke frowned, biting the tip of one's own's fingernails, said rudely, she is the kind of woman who has a strong desire for control. Will make her feel very disturbed.
"You think more, Young Lady O'Neill." Marjorie is very calm, he glanced at the former and replied calmly.
The carriage stopped near the springboard, then the door opened, and Jutta jumped out from the inside. The person who saw this scene was a little stunned, and then recognized that this was the female lieutenant of Aouine Count. People, everyone's curiosity could not help but improve. They stared at the carriage, as if they started calling out, and finally came down slowly from above.
But it's a man.
“Ah!” O'Neill saw the man and almost shouted in shock.
On other ships, a group of Kirrlutz noble also looked like ducks with their throats pinched. They looked at the man as if they saw a devil. Some people with poor mental quality actually took a few steps backwards. Unlucky, stepped into the cable with one foot, and sat down on the ground with one butt. Rao is so. They haven't awoke yet, one by one, their faces are as white as a piece of paper, and their blood has completely faded.
Orkens Count was frowning to take out the one's own pocket watch from the clothes and watch the time by moonlight. But now, like a demon, he stood still, and even the pocket watch in his hand slammed onto the armor plates, and the glass cover was shattered and shattered.
"What's wrong?" Marjorie seemed to be hindered, and then noticed that the atmosphere around him was a little different. He asked Duke Qianjin around him.
"It's him ..." O'Neill was fighting with her upper and lower teeth. Although she tried hard to restrain this embarrassing emotion, she still couldn't help giggling: "It's that person, Commander was with him. No wonder ... no wonder that there is no fear ... "
If there is one person in the history of the empire, there can be a person who can make all the noble smell of the empire change, and there is something about the person's appearance in the empire that is well known by everyone, but even so, the powerful Kirrlutz Empire for 100 years There is still no way to take him, then this person will only have one name, one title.
His name is Mephisto, and his title is Grey Sword Saint.
Mephisto stepped off the carriage slowly. This is a very elegant middle-aged man, the first half of his life used to live a good life. The Aura who was in trouble noble was branded on him like a label, as if he was a prince who wandered from another country, letting him go wherever he went, becoming the focus of everyone's attention. In the dark windbreaker, the famous gray sword was carried on his back. His face was a little firm, but the most striking thing was his cold star-like eyes. Mephisto glanced at everyone in the fleet with raises head, which made every Kirrlutzian present feel cold.
Time seems to freeze.
Jutta and Mephisto boarded the ship one after the other. They walked across the springboard like a flat ground and came to the side of Brando. Brando looked at these two people and couldn't help but vomit one breath. Laughing: "Trouble you, teacher, I didn't expect to involve you in it."
Grey Sword Saint looked at one's own student. This time, he actually followed the mission, and he acted with the puppets of Valkyrie and Buga people. According to the original arrangement, it was not appropriate for him to appear unless he arrived The most crucial moment. But I did not expect the plan to change quickly. After Brando asked Jutta to tell him the plan, he only considered it for a moment, and then there was the scene mentioned above.
Mephisto knows that this student is using the one's own sign to pull the banner, but he doesn't care about it. First of all, he is very satisfied with Brando, his only student, and secondly, he never wants to be in front of Kirrlutzian. Hide and show.
The empire couldn't treat him well before he entered Realm of Ultimate, let alone now.
So he just responded lightly: "You do it, you are my student, I will naturally stand behind you."
Brando was a little stunned and couldn't help but be touched. He looked at this weather-beaten middle-aged man, --, who was also his cheap teacher. Although the relationship between the two was a master and apprentice in his mind, the color of the transaction was inevitable. . After all, from the beginning, this relationship was maintained by an equivalent exchange. I didn't expect that after going through so much, the other party seemed to really treat himself as student. He nodded slightly and replied Shen Shen: " I see, teacher. "
Mephisto is still an unsmiling look, only to say: "I went down first, and it's unpleasant to see these false Kirrlutzian."
Brando Can not help but smile bitterly, now everyone in the world thinks of him Valhalla Count Dare to fight Kirrlutz Empire Face, but did not expect Mephisto The old enemies of this empire are even more arrogant, and even if he is, he would not dare to cut them in person for no reason. Kirrlutzian Face. To know Orkens Count Not far away now, Mephisto Although he was talking to him by himself, the voice was not small at all. He wanted to tell the other party intentionally.
But it ’s nothing. Those who are outrageous are always complaining about the Kirrlutz noble that complained about it. It seems as if they have speechless, and they bow their heads one by one, pretending not to see this scene.
Although the Orkens Count face was blue and white for a while, he didn't dare to say half a word.
What is deterrence? This is deterrence.
Brando watched Mephisto walk down armor plates, but couldn't help it. I didn't see him. The teacher said that when he saw the Azure Sky beauty Army Commander, it was really hypocritical. However, thinking of this, he also thought that already had not heard about Veronica's for a while. Although the lady was Kirrlutzian, she was one of his few respected people, and for a moment could not help but worry.
At this time, the black carriage was put on the Akhenaten under the arrangement of Romaine's. Sailors couldn't help but wonder: "Romaine Young Lady, don't you say that the carriage is a noble and elegant lady, isn't it like a lady?"
"Why is there no lady?" miss merchant quibbled, "Did you not see?"
"ojou-sama, wouldn't you say that Jutta isn't she? Isn't she the Mercenary leader, where is the elegant lady of noble origin?" Sailors suddenly clamored: "Businessmen want to talk about credit." >
"Of course we have to talk about credit, but the holes in the text can also be drilled, isn't that so?" Romaine smiled.
"Cut." for a moment suddenly booed.
But miss merchant didn't care at all. She asked the sailors to put away the springboard before coming to Brando. A proud gesture compared to an 'ok' gesture.
Brando is unmoved, holding her tip of her nose and saying to the Jutta on the side, "Is everything loaded on the ship?"
Jutta nodded: "Both 傀儡 and Gargoyle have already loaded, but Lord Thane, Gargoyle already are not much left. If Dragon beast comes again to attack ..."
"They will definitely come again. Behind us should be the guy Modesty, I know her character." Brando glanced at the Great Plain under the night. The scattered stardust is dotted on the dark screen, but the most dazzling of them. It is also the constellation of Dragon King Bahamut of Orient Skyrim. It is dark on the edge of this majestic star map. It is said that before War of the Holy Saints, it was a constellation of Dragon of Darkness.
It's already for thousands of years --
"wú wú," Romaine frowned. Holding her head up, she kept trying to get rid of the Brando's devil's claw, but how could she be a poor little witch opponent of Brando this warrior. After a while, I looked at this abominable guy tearfully: "Brando. I will bite you if you don't let go."
As if to strengthen the persuasiveness of this threat, Miss merchant also reveals white and sharp little tiger teeth.
Brando smiled slightly before letting go. The latter stepped on retreat quickly, rubbing his red nose and staring vigilantly at this guy.
"Can they catch up with us?" Jutta looked at the little couple with interest and asked.
"Yes, Dragon beast is much faster than the oldest frigates, plus we are still carrying refugees." Brando replied.
"If we are now, wouldn't they catch us up at sea?" Jutta frowned.
"it doesn't matter." Brando secretly thought that Modesty might join the battle in person after learning that Buga people intervened, but he calmly replied: "They can't stop us, Jutta, you go to inform Ciel and Marjorie that they are going to map Room, right, and that fat guy. "
Jutta nodded and was about to leave, but Brando called her again: "Wait."
"What's wrong?" female mercenary commander turned back puzzledly.
"Jutta," Brando hesitated before asking, "I remember you seem to know my grandfather."
Jutta reacted for a moment, then reacted, her eyes brightened, and reverently replied: "Yes, Lord Thane, how could someone not know your grandfather in Aouine. Lord Darus, in that era He is one of the kingdom's double walls, but ... "She looked at one's own Lord Thane with some appreciation, thinking that this is probably the so-called family heritage of noble. Both grandchildren and grandchildren were so excellent.
But why are some nobles decaying from generation to generation? It wasn't the first time she was confused about this question, she just couldn't think of an answer.
"But nothing?"
Jutta seemed to be determined for a while to continue the problem, she replied: "But when your grandfather became famous, I was not born yet, in fact ... I actually met him, but still After his retreat. My lord ... "She looked at the youngster in front of her, and replied," You know, it's near Bruglas. In fact, I've seen you at that time. "
"What !?" Brando was shocked. He never dreamed that he had such a relationship with this female mercenary commander.
"... Adult remember that I once told you my past," recalling what happened before, Jutta's voice could not help lowering: "I and my sister, were adventurers at that time, and later suffered The persecution of noble had to go into exile. Later it was an adult, your grandfather saved my life, but unfortunately, my sister, she was not so blessed, and did not hold up to that time, that is when I saw the adult you and your grandfather . "
She couldn't help but smile softly, compared with a height: "At that time, you were only a little taller, adults."
Brando froze for a while before reacting. It seems that there is such a thing in the memory, but before Jutta was mentioned, it was just a small episode forget it/that's all in his childhood memory, and already was already blurred. He took a deep look at the female mercenary commander: "Did you recognize it from the beginning?"
Jutta shook his head: "It was a long time later, I realized that the old man was the famous Sword Saint Darus. Later, I deliberately collected some of his news, but did not dare to publicize it. Later, I met When I was an adult, I actually did n’t recognize the adult at first. After all, you were so small at that time, adult, "she couldn't help but smile." Who can think of such a cute little guy at that time, even growing up as I'm a man of great standing. Compared to an adult, I really can't achieve anything. Later ... "
"Later?"
"It was only after the incident underground in the town of Shavrund that I confirmed your identity from the adult Curran, and since then I have decided to follow the adult heartlessly." female mercenary commander recalled with some emotions. She said, subconsciously glanced at the one's own sabre.
"Master," she raises head came, "is there anything else?"
Brando shook his head. It was a pity that he wanted to know one's own grandfather from Jutta, but he didn't expect the other party to know more than he did. "Nothing," he replied, "you go, Jutta, thank you."
"It's my honor, sir," female mercenary commander replied with a smile, and suddenly remembered what it looked like, and asked, "Yes, sir, is your aunt okay?"
"My aunt?" Brando froze. On Callas, his mother had a few aunts, but Katrieg had very little contact with their family. He had never seen the relatives who were teaching him since he was a child. for a moment did not understand why Jutta would suddenly ask this question.
"Yeah, the lady who was with your grandfather at the time, she was the first one to rescue me, or she," replied Jutta: "I haven't seen that kind lady for a long time. , I have never been able to thank her. "
"What?"
Brando froze for a moment, because there was no existence of this person in his memory. He couldn't help rubbing his forehead. for a moment wondered if his memory was too vague and missed many details. He only remembered that he was practicing sword at a sawmill by the river, and the grandfather of one's own rescued a woman by hand. As for whether it was Jutta, in fact, he couldn't remember. As for whether there was a woman at that time, That's even more difficult to talk about.
But in his memory, he only remembers that there are not many outsiders dealing with his family. Except for some friends in his father's business, the one's own grandfather basically has no communication and supervises his daily sword practice.
could it be that is he wrong?
Brando rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"Lord Thane?" Jutta gave him a worried look.
"Nothing," Brando shook his head: "My aunt she ... well, fortunately, I will take you to see her next time I have a chance."
female mercenary commander nodded contentedly, but did not hear the meaning of perfunctory.
...... (To be continued ...)
