The Amber Sword: Act 203 Dawn of Fire IV

The Dibo River sparkles in the sunset. Whenever this time, the floating sunset on the river will shoot into the window, dyeing the hotel lobby a crimson. Through the window lattice, you can see the imperial capital standing in the sky, a majestic shadow, High Tower and the city wall leaving a thick oblique shadow in the dusk of the sun.

Seti finished wiping the last table, straightened up and wiped her sweat with her back. She looked at the direction of the door accidentally. The light in the doorway of -- dimmed a little, and walked in. A few cloaked travelers -- were guests. . She was a little surprised in her mind. Now there are customers in this season. Since Metz started the war, there are fewer merchants on the road. The hotel business is getting lighter every day. The owner of the hotel intends to close the business temporarily.

The first person who walked in was a foreigner with long dark brown hair that was rare in the empire. His face was slightly handsome. Although it wasn't fascinating at first sight, at least he was handsome and handsome, with brown eyes in the light. Yun, the look inside is full of warmth, as if it makes people feel kind at first sight.

Behind him, the taller man looks like his companion, and he looks more handsome. Although he took it down with an hood --, he showed short curly hair with short ears. He looked around. , With a cynical color in his eyes.

There are actually a few girls behind, Seti can't help but feel very surprised, how can there be so many female relatives on the road this season, so she could not help but suspect that this is a group of slave traders. However, she soon realized that she was different. These girls were obviously not simple. Some of them made her dare not to look at her with her eyes. This aggressive temperament has only been seen by the real big men in the city. How could it be a female slave.

"Weird caravan." At this time Seti already noticed the caravan parked outside the hotel. Only peddler will use this carriage in the Vanquer area.

Naturally Correct Brando walked into the hotel at this moment.

Thank goodness. The classic caravan bought from Shiba leaves town finally arrived safely before reaching the destination of the hotel. The sign -- had a hotel with the words "Cat and Beard" on it.

This old building with a strong return style is located by the holy potion Silver Bridge, no more than ten miles away from Rusta, and its appearance is unremarkable. It's just that the shabby -- signboard has been peeled off from the door, and there are many repairs on the roof. However, Shengming was clear in the window, and several pots of ivy were on the window sill on the side of the door. The leaves were spread out, and the owner took good care of it.

The business of the hotel looks very deserted, probably because the location is too biased. Delphine mentioned that this is the farthest hotel outside the east gate of Lucita. Only some of the cheap Merchant Union shops are temporarily settled here.

But that's why Correct chose this place.

Remote means safe --

The waitress in this hotel was actually mountain people. Brando noticed that the girl's long red hair like the fire in the sunset could not help but be surprised. However, when a group of people was going upstairs, Ciel turned back and smiled and said, "It looks like the little girl is in doubt, so it's not like our -- is disguised as Ms. Sidney evaluated."

Brando returned to God and replied: "This is something that was expected."

"I thought you would be upset about this, sir."

"I don't worry about things that don't matter, I just don't want to do nothing."

"What is" useless work "?" Ciel sighed: "I haven't heard Lord Thane for a while and you've popped out of" new words "."

Brando patted annoyedly, "It just means nothing."

The Romaine walking in front of this time noticed the conversation between the two. Of course, in fact, she kept erecting her ears and overhearing. As for the suffocation of Brando on the carriage, she had long been thrown out of the clouds. When she heard this sentence, she couldn't help but intentionally lag behind, and asked with wide eyes:

"But how can it be meaningless? Her Majesty the Queen grabbed us. Will she hang us on gallows? I heard that nobles treats their prisoners this way, so to speak. Should we pretend? What about it? "

"Because it doesn't work," replied the Delphine who walked aside.

Since taking the fountain of youth, the scar already on her face has faded a lot these days, at least it no longer looks so horrible. In some places, even already begins to molt, revealing that the underside is as smooth as sheep fat. New skin.

The most important thing is that you no longer need to rely on a wheelchair when you move. Although it is still a bit inconvenient, at least you can move freely like a normal person.

"Not useful?"

Brando nodded: "During the road before, did the patrolled Knight pass us and didn't stop to check us?"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"The key is frequency. The patrol Knight we encountered along the way was too much. As far as I know, a Knight like this on weekdays will only conduct a routine patrol along the periphery of the imperial capital before morning and evening. This It shows that Her Majesty strengthened the vigilance around the imperial capital. However, he did not order them to conduct a cross-examination of the migrant population entering Lucita.

"Is that so?"

"Yes," Delphine nodded. However, I took a look at Brando with a little surprise. I didn't expect the latter to be so familiar with this place. It is necessary to know that many natives of Lucita may not know how the security forces around the empire capital work.

Ciel smiled, and apparently knew the answer to this question: "This shows that Her Majesty's queen is adopting a precautionary approach of external loosening and internal tightness. It seems that she is very confident in the one's own tentacles, but I am afraid we will not enter It ’s just a city. "

"That is, as long as we enter the city, she will find us?"

Brando nodded: "It seems that at least The Silver Queen thinks so."

miss merchant analyzed the results of one's own and twisted his eyebrows: "Since this is the case, Brando, are we going to separate our actions?"

"Huh?"

"That is, let me take them to the city with Brynhild to attract the attention of Her Majesty. You and the Mephisto teacher will find a way to sneak into the city to save Scarlett --"

Brando could not help but be angry and funny after listening to this sentence, and patted her bright head: "What are you thinking, things haven't reached such a serious level yet, I don't think The Silver Queen will get into trouble so early."

Romaine quickly covered his forehead and ducked back. Asked, "Why?"

"I don't know why," Brando also shook his head and replied softly: "But I have a hunch. The Silver Queen is waiting for us to enter the city --"

...

After the sunset sinks below the horizon, the night truly covers the city of Lucita. There are stars and lights floating in the darkness, on the distant horizon, as if the stars are falling from the sky, and further away, the dark sky can flash a flash of light from time to time. Only those who live in Lucita know that it is actually Nazir's Flapping aircraft.

Since Lucita is far from the Nazaire border, both sides have a large number of troops stationed on the east border, even at night. There are still hordes of Pegasus Knight and Magicite flapping wing aircraft in the sky patrolling in canine-staggered airspace.

Fina stood by the window and stared at the river flowing quietly under the moonlight. I couldn't help recalling what the last emperor had been like. Maintaining the past Halo, even his father and brother were imprisoned in the belly of this fearsome 'monster'.

But I don't know why, but she was at peace at this moment.

Tuk Tuk Tuk, there was a sudden knock outside the door, and the others inside the room turned their heads, just to see Medissa shoving into the door and flashing in.

She closed the door with her backhand. With a sigh of relief, he looked at Brando and said, "Lord Thane."

"Medissa, how about it?" Brando nodded to her. He used to let the other party go out to inquire about the news, but now he should be rewarded by his look.

Medissa replied: "It's okay, not too much trouble. I asked clearly, Lord Thane, the engagement ceremony will be held half a month later, when the St. Cantipei's Palace White Rose Garden will hold a banquet, the city will also Holding a celebration, in fact Lucita started already a week ago to prepare for this celebration.

Brando couldn't help but snorted. Obviously, what Kirrlutzian did to Scarlett made him very disdain: "It seems that The Silver Queen wants to dilute the atmosphere of Emperor's heart. But I don't think it will be too effective. Think about what you did before. "

"It's just clearing up dissidents," Delphine replied lightly.

The opening of prime minister's daughter made Medissa look at her. She frowned slightly before proceeding to report: "I mean Scarlett for Vala deed Count --. It is said that she has been living in a castle outside the city of Lucita, but I have visited that place and was empty."

"Is it a fake message or has it been transferred?" Brando asked.

"It should have been transferred, Lord Thane, I was worried that The Silver Queen left an eyeliner there, so I didn't dare to stay too long, but then I asked about it elsewhere, the castle did live there before A big man, but already moved away a few weeks ago. "

"It can be seen that The Silver Queen really anticipated our arrival, otherwise she didn't need to do more." Delphine was indifferent to Medissa's eyes, and analyzed with a faint voice.

Brando did not answer, but there was no objection in the heart. In fact, he had already expected this. Prior to this, the analysis of Amandina was exactly the same.

"What about the others?" he asked again.

Medissa turned his head: "Delphine Young Lady, your father and grandfather were locked up in Mossburg, so was Army Commander of legion and Archduke of Floral Leaf. But as far as I know, the high-level of Holy Cathedral has not been held there. Many people don't know at all. Many people don't seem to know what happened to Holy Cathedral that day, and it's not clear at this moment that Holy Cathedral of Fire already is divided into two. "

After hearing this, the statue of the sacred figure of the lion ’s palace sitting on the edge of the bed frowned slightly, and Fina showed an urgent look: "Medissa, I ..."

"Moss Castle is not a special prison," Delphine interrupted her. "That was the royal palace, so they were just placed under house arrest. After all, my father and grandfather, and Archduke of Floral Leaf did not stand out with clear flags. To oppose The Silver Queen. "

"Which one would they be arrested for?" miss merchant was counting the expenses in recent days. Hearing this sentence could not help but ask raises head strangely.

"Because they didn't take a stand at immediately, The Silver Queen has to do too much this time. For insurance reasons, she will suppress all instability factors to the minimum."

"Delphine Young Lady," Medissa heard her say that. The dissatisfaction on the face became more and more obvious: "According to your statement, I can't see that you have a reason to choose Lord Thane's, The Silver Queen needs the attitude of the Nederhoven family. And the attitude of the Correct Nederhoven family you represent, I don't know exactly what you fight What's the idea. But if you dare damage to Lord Thane min -- "

Silver Elf Princess pursed her lips and did not finish her words, but looking at her cold eyes, Delphine also knew what the second half would be.

Brando was also a little surprised. I couldn't help but look at Medissa with a little surprise. He knew that Medissa had not actually accepted the prime minister's daughter for a long time, but it was the first time that such a clear flag showed attitude.

Delphine smiled slightly. She only looked at Brando with light purple eyes with raises head and did not answer.

"Delphine Young Lady ..." Brando couldn't help but say.

"Can Lord Count not trust me?"

"But you do have more options, don't you?" Ciel finally stepped in, and he chose to stand on the side of Medissa.

Delphine couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Brando sighed: "It's because of the change in ivy, right?"

prime minister's daughter turned back, her face showed 'you really know', she hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently: "But that's just one. My grandfather never supported the emperor to pass the throne to The Silver Queen, so Your Majesty Only to support the Palut family is for the power of the Zhi Heng prime minister. This method was used once when the royal family opposed Holy Cathedral, but this time it was not used well the last time.

"The change of ivy," is something that everyone couldn't imagine. Mordefeys, who had been silent at this time, suddenly said, "Do you mean that thing?"

All eyes are on him.

"... I, I just happen to know."

"Mordefeys, aren't you Madara's undead?" Brando then reacted. He didn't know much about the sisters of vampire. He knew the past of Mercenary, including Medissa, Ciel, Tiger Sparrow, and Flo. Even Scippamira would occasionally be mentioned Some of my experiences while practicing in Holy Cathedral of Earth, but Mordefeys and Andelique have always been silent about one's own.

Before that, he always thought that before they became Card creature, it was just Madara's ordinary dark noble, or a little bit of origin, but I heard the word Mordefeys. He knew he was wrong.

Mordefeys is not Madara's undead, he is most likely born in Metz. Otherwise, it is impossible to know what happened that year.

Facing his gaze, Mordefeys nodded his head: "Lord Thane. You guessed right, neither my sister nor I was a dark noble from Madara. We were Kirrlutzian during our lifetime, and Metz is our hometown."

Brando is clear: "So it was not accidental that I summoned you in tomb that day?"

"I don't know much about Laws of Cards of Fate, but maybe it should be right."

"I see," Brando replied, "Since you were once Metz, then you should have been witnesses of that event?"

"It wasn't exactly a witness, but my sister Andelique and I did go through that dark history. I just remember that the family members and friends of one's own relatives -- were killed in that turmoil, even myself. History is even more cruel than narrative. The experience of Sir Lorison you have seen is only the tip of the iceberg. "

Mordefeys smiled indifferently: "I don't really want to remember too much about that history. I wouldn't mention it if Lord Thane happened to mention this event."

"I'm sorry." Brando didn't expect that he had accidentally exposed the scar, and couldn't help but apologize.

"it doesn't matter, Lord Thane, time always wipes away all scars." Mordefeys smiled: "At that time, after Holy War, Holy Cathedral of Fire was facing a general decline and confusion of faith. undead and Demonic Cultist took advantage of the situation. Into the empire, the Holy Cathedral of Fire was penetrated by Origin Association the most serious period, that is, at that time, and even left a lot of historical problems. I remember that in the most chaotic days, East Metz near Argen And Mehtothofen bear the brunt of it. At the time, even several Dukes were deceived by --.

"I, I heard about it," Fina suddenly said, "I heard my breastmother talk about the scene at the time, and it is said that many people died at that time. Every day countless people are crucified on the cross, noble There are also assassinations and conspiracies between them. It was the darkest period in the Metz area. Between the countryside was witch and heresy. They cramped and peeled people. Torture those Holy Cathedral Priest and believers with the harshest methods . "

"It's the same in the city. Every day witch is corrected and fired. Similar scenes are being performed every moment." Mordefeys recalled the scenes at that time and frowned.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the empire," Ciel was a little surprised. Although he had also heard of the turmoil, he could not imagine that the situation was so serious that he hadn't personally experienced it: "What then?"

"Later, the so-called Ivy Change. East Metz's chaos evolved into a real turmoil, and several famous nobles died during the turmoil, of which several Correct had fought alongside Nederhoven. Comrades-in-arms and close friends, "Sidney said at this time. As a party to Holy Cathedral, she can be said to be the one who knows what happened at the time:" In the fury, the old prime minister was ordered by The Silver Queen and led the army. Entering East Metz calmed the rebellion in one fell swoop, and even caught two of the Tree Shepherd's Twelve Chief Shepherds. "

"Two?" Brando noticed this number.

"Tainted Blood Thane Rochelle, there is another withered whip Lenny. But the latter escaped during the escorting process."

"It was said to be fleeing, but my grandfather always suspected that Her Majesty had let him go." At this time Delphine finally opened his mouth: "At the time, I was dealing with these Demonic Cultist issues. Her Majesty and my grandfather had a great deal. The differences -- are in fact in accordance with the law of Holy Cathedral. These Demonic Cultists should have been in different places for a long time, but the last one escaped, and one is still being held in the thorny fortress, and most of Demonic Cultist and the fallen Dark Thane are only sealed and not completely Destruction, that Lorison is just one of them.

"This is an order given by The Silver Queen in person," she sighed. "What puzzles my grandfather most is that Holy Cathedral actually gave up."

"This incident buried a mustard between Her Majesty and my grandfather. But it was not just for personal reasons, but because my grandfather saw that Her Majesty had another picture at the time. He though It is not biased towards Holy Cathedral. But as an old imperialist, he is also reluctant to see the real break between the royal family and Holy Cathedral. Therefore, the empire is moving towards the abyss that will never be restored.

She gently breathed in: "So you understand, now that everything has happened, it is even more impossible for my grandfather to stand with Her Majesty, which is why Her Majesty's secret design made me leave the Imperial City. The reason, which I should have seen through for a long time, is just that hatred blinds my eyes. "

"Me and me too," Fina looked at Brando and bit his teeth. "I can stand on your side on behalf of Mehotolfin, Brando, I will. I am the first successor to Floral Leaf Shire. I It is entirely possible to make this promise. "

"Fina Young Lady," Medissa glanced at her, comforted: "You can rest assured, we are not targeting you."

"Thank you, Medissa." Floral Leaf Shire's Her Highness the Princess couldn't help flushing.

Delphine seemed to turn a deaf ear to what Medissa meant. She looked back at Brando and asked, "So Lord Thane, what should we do next?"

"There is still half a month," Brando replied: "It seems that time is still sufficient, we try to find out where Scarlett is under house arrest as much as possible, because I will consider directly on the day of the celebration only as a last resort. Launch. And before that, we have to find a way to break into Mossburg. This is to save you and your relatives of Fina, and to win more allies for us. "

He glanced at Sidney: "If you can find out where the top Holy Cathedral is being held, it would be better."

"Will they be killed by Her Majesty?" Ciel interjected suddenly.

"She won't do that," the statue of the lion's holy palace finally said: "get -- before Holy Sword Ordefeiss"

"Then do that, let's investigate separately," Brando replied, "Although The Silver Queen is confident to knock us out, but before that, we have time to play with her in game."

He paused for a moment.

"I will gave her a surprise."
