The Amber Sword: Act 235 Into the City
"Who is it?" Brando asked.
"A Kirrlutzian said he was looking for us. When he met this guy, he was being chased. We rescued him from Demonic Cultist." Ciel said as he beckoned back, bushes There was a bang, and a ragged youngster came out of it. The latter looked pale and frightened, with a hint of vigilance in the grey and blue eyes, turning slightly, and finally fell on Brando.
Brando felt a little familiar at first sight when he saw the latter, and then remembered that he had seen each other before, it was near the Cat and Beard Hotel, watching him and the waiter girl in the hotel go very close. It's a relationship of lovers.
He remembered that the two were supposed to go out together, but at the moment only the latter came back, presumably something happened.
It's just a mess in the city right now, and it's not surprising what happened, but the girl named Seti is a good girl. He is frowned and does n’t want anything to happen to him. If something goes wrong this season, I'm afraid that even he can't help the other party.
He pondered for a moment before he asked, "What's wrong, has something happened?"
Although the youngster called Alca is down, but the idea is still clear, and said clearly: "Sir, please help us, those Secretists want to use Seti to deal with you."
Brando immediately became alert: "What do you mean, what's going on?"
Alca The dialogue between the Secretists I heard was repeated in one's own. Brando found that the language ability of youngster was quite outstanding. In just a few words, he described the whole event roughly, but then became angry again. He didn't go to provoke each other, but he didn't expect these **** underdogs to come to the door. .
He was worried for a while, but then thought that Romaine had White Mist existence beside him. Let's relax a little bit, that girl is just an ordinary person anyway, and White Mist was the original Contract Spirit of the witch, poisoned in front of it, the chance is too slim, those Tree Shepherds obviously did not expect this.
He took his worry into his heart. Then he noticed the doubts in this youngster statement, but he hadn't spoken yet, and Ciel on the side said his mind first.
"These guys are really looking for their way." Ciel frowned after hearing: "Fortunately, there is White Mist around Romaine Young Lady, otherwise the consequences are really unthinkable, but the relationship between Lord Thane and Romaine Young Lady. How did they know so clearly?"
Alca was worried about Seti, but he also understood that he and Seti were responsible. He looked slightly hesitant, and finally answered, "Sorry. This is what Seti and I told them ... There are many eyeliners in Lucita, most of them are ordinary people like us, but we only tell them what guests are in the hotel, but we do n’t know that Young Lady ... is your fiancee. ”
At this time, the old Nederhoven who stood on the sidelines suddenly said: "There is no doubt that the person who can clearly know your identity should only be Her Majesty's side, and the only person who has the motive to instruct Demonic Cultist to do such a thing is the Queen. Your Majesty, it looks like our previous guess was correct. "
"What's the guess?" Ciel had not experienced the previous discussion, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
"It's Dragon Queen." Medissa came over and answered. Then carefully explained to the latter some speculation of the former prime minister of Nederhoven.
After listening to the young wizard attendant, he couldn't help showing a rather surprised expression. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Is that the baby girl?"
"What did you say?" Brando immediately looked at Ciel.
Ciel patted his forehead: "I seem to remember a lot of things suddenly. Remember when you asked me about the father of Amandina Young Lady last time at Bruglas, I suddenly remember what I was looking for just like them Stuff. "
"What is it?"
"Are you Mr. Ciel?" Brando and Lao Zai asked at the same time, but the latter apparently seemed much more puzzled. He looked carefully at Ciel: "Why are you so ... young?"
Ciel did not answer this question, but continued: "Maybe the answer to a question, originally clues like words, scattered in my mind. I often remember what I was looking for in the Alca area, but Without a systematic answer, it is like a dream that has become fragmented after a long sleep. "
"What is that?"
"The part I remember is not consistent with what Thurman said at the beginning. I remember that your grandfather and Her Highness the Princess brought back a baby girl who was wrapped in a bright piece of amber. That night, only me, Sheppard and Pamid have witnessed this incident. -- is right, Sheppard is the father of Amandina Young Lady. "
"What happened at that time?" The voice of the old Nederhoven was a little trembling, like a puzzle that has been pursued for decades, and finally when it is time to unravel the mystery, already and the Queen and Empire Even the truth itself is irrelevant. The old man dreams of haunting the mystery formed by countless complex knots.
Brando also pouted, this puzzle also bothered him for a long time.
"I remember that the condition of Her Highness the Princess was not very good at that time --, that is, Her Majesty the Queen today, she looks very weak, and her mood is not very Stability. She avoided us and talked secretly with your grandfather for a long time. In the end you Grandfather brought the baby girl out, let us find a reliable person to send her away, and asked us to keep a secret for this. "
"Your Majesty was in a very bad state at the time. How bad was it and had obvious trauma?" the old Nederhoven asked.
"No, nothing, but she looks very weak, like a serious illness, and her mental state is not very Stability. I remember that she was opposed to taking the baby girl away for a while, and sometimes whispered Weeping seems to be very helpless, of course, this is my personal judgment. "
"Where is Mr. Darus?"
"Mr. Darus's complexion looks heavy."
"Is that before or after?"
"Before what, after what?"
"Before or after Your Majesty entered the final battlefield?" the old Nederhoven asked loudly.
Ciel took a strange look at the former prime minister of the empire and replied, "Of course, after that, they brought the baby girl out of there."
"How was your Majesty until then?"
"Good, nothing is wrong."
Old Nederhoven breathed in. It seemed a little disturbed.
Others are far apart, they do n’t understand what ’s going on here, they think they are arguing, the sound of quarrel is coming out a long way, there are a few wild dogs lingering on the edge of the forest, they see this Behind the crowd. Avoiding it with his tail.
Someone saw a fire in the direction of Lucita, and the stars reflected the dark night sky.
The air is filled with dry and scorching odors.
"Are you sure the baby girl is wrapped in amber, Ciel?" Brando asked.
Ciel nodded.
"After that?"
"We found a reliable person in the coalition, your father's fiancee, Gloria Princess, who was the ambassador to Aouine in the coalition, and entrusted her to bring the baby girl back to Aouine overnight. /
"Later, have you seen her?"
"I met her once when I returned to Aouine. It was about the third year after Holy War, in a small town near Radnor."
"What about that baby girl?"
Ciel shook his head: "I didn't ask. She didn't say either, I just asked her something about your grandfather."
"Some things from my grandfather."
"Yes, the fourth day after we sent the baby girl away, Buga and Colossal Dragon arrived. Her Highness the Princess's attitude was very cold. What she described was completely different from what happened, which meant that your grandfather must To blame her. The three of us who knew the inside story didn't understand it. We asked your grandfather about it. But he didn't want to say more about what happened later. You all know ... "
The young wizard attendant sighed: "In the decades that followed, the three of us have been searching for the answer to this question. Now it seems that the closest to the truth is Sheppard. Unfortunately, he died too early."
Brando took a deep look at him and replied: "Maybe you are the same, Ciel."
Ciel is a little hesitant. Then he responded: "Maybe so, Lord Thane."
Brando looked at the old prime minister aside, the old man's face was mixed with a blank and thoughtful look. "I seem to have caught something, but I always feel that there is still a layer of window paper across, which is really uncomfortable." The latter could not help but shake his head and replied.
"No matter what the truth is. We have to go on the road. Maybe seeing Her Majesty the Queen will be able to answer the last question in our heart --"
He glanced at the burning city of Lucita and gently closed the pocket watch form.
At this time, Alca, who has been staring at the Nederhoven Jr. beside the old Nederhoven, suddenly said carefully: "Are you prime minister?"
Nederhoven Jr. was a little hesitant. Few people would call him by the side of one's own's father, but he saw the latter immediately understood that there were not many people who could associate himself with the title of prime minister of the empire. However, in Lucita and the surrounding areas, there are still many people who can recognize one's own.
He nodded silently.
Alca couldn't help but glance at the other people present. These noble masters could not recognize how much, originally thought that they were only Brando's noble attendants, but the appearance of Nederhoven Jr. obviously subverted his views.
When his eyes fell on the old Nederhoven, he couldn't help getting more complicated. He could hardly be convinced that the -- Laizai was in the empire for quite a few years, but after the death of Granto Great Emperor, he also lived out for decades If it weren't for his appearance and Nederhoven Jr., Alca could hardly believe that the legendary figure was in front of him.
After being convinced of this, when he looked at Brando, his eyes were completely different from already.
"Master," he bowed his head cautiously, and said respectfully.
Brando glanced at him. Although this youngster and the girl ’s actions may cause him trouble, he knew that the little man was involuntarily. Besides, Seti ’s brother did die on the battlefield of Ampere Searl. Although the war was not caused by He initiated, but this can't blame the girl.
Maybe this is the biggest mistake of Holy Cathedral and Her Majesty. They virtually changed the fate of many people, but never felt guilty about it.
This arrogance already has been ingrained in noble for hundreds of years.
He replied, "You can rest assured that White Mist is a decent person. Seti is just an ordinary person. It will not treat her like that."
Alca doesn't know who White Mist is, but the adult a noble reassures him. He looked at Nederhoven Jr. and the old prime minister, and had to rest assured that -- not to mention that the adult of noble saved his life.
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Sir, if you want to enter the city, I may know that a secret passage can let you enter the inner city."
"secret passage?"
Brando for a while.
"The tunnel built by the nobles in the inner city, the priests of the Secret Order bought these nobles, and I happened to know where the exit of one of the secret passage was by chance?" Alca replied.
Brando is not very interested in this secret passage itself. He only asked: "Is secret passage guarded by Demonic Cultist? -- is what you call a Secretist?"
"Yes, but there are not many people on weekdays, and the secret passage is very remote and the entrance is not large. It belongs to the passage of the priests," he looked at the others present, and calculated silently: "But I think it should be enough to pass the adults. "
"So Demonic Cultist prepared these secret passage to pass many people?"
Alca froze. Obviously, the way Brando asked questions was somewhat unexpected, but he was a smart youngster. Then he realized the problem and frowned, and answered, "I do n’t know too clear, but I think It should be like this. "
"You said that you know where one of the secret passages is, how good is this secret passage?" Brando asked again.
"Not much, but there should be more than two or three."
Old Nederhoven listens to the conversation between the two, and then looks at flashes: "The inner city is dangerous."
"This is exactly our chance." Nederhoven Jr. on the side seemed a little excited: "Her Majesty the Queen is too arrogant, maybe Dragon Queen Gwendolyn blinded her, Tree Shepherds must have prepared for it."
"The problem is that we don't know what her picture is."
"There is no need to know." Brando replied softly: "We will not go secret passage."
"Don't leave secret passage?" Alca really didn't understand what the noble adult was thinking.
Brando was showing chill, coldly replied: "Before meeting Her Majesty, let's collect --"
