The Amber Sword: Act 232 Old Prime Minister
On the west side of Lucita, already can see the corner of the wide Hazell Great Plain. Under the vast night, the dark sky merges with the horizon, and the stars are reflected, as if there is no end.
The Brando's team stays in a grove of trees. There is a farm near here. Starry lights are transmitted far through the forest shadow. The south edge of the forest is located on a small open highland. Looking south, more than ten miles southwest is Sandberg, and the shiny marginal line of Stroy Lake is clearly visible.
already out of town for half an hour.
People who went out searching quickly came back downheartedly.
"Did not find which witch?"
"No."
"Don't find Babasha them?"
"No."
"Ciel are they back?"
"Neither."
Brando followed up one by one, but got all disappointed answers. As a rule, if the witch succeeds, you should have waited here long ago.
And even if the other party lied, Babasha they should be here now.
But in fact, I got the message that both people were silent.
Even Ciel and Scippamira have no news. It seems that they disappeared in the city. The existence of the Dai people messed up the spirit / mind network near Lucita. The latter even lost the means to communicate with their own. .
The situation is worse than imagined. Although he knew that there might be various accidents in the plan he made, such development still made him unexpected.
Fortunately, everyone still found Kouha, which was left outside the city beforehand. When they hit the latter, the dark-haired girl was sitting barefoot on a huge white wolf, reflecting bright The moonlight is like elf in the forest.
"It looks like you're in trouble." Kouha, as always, expressed pleasure at the bad mood of Brando's. She used to look for happiness in the pain of mortals. But now the fun is much less, or it becomes picky eaters, and the pain of changing to Brando alone.
But it doesn't look bad.
"Do you have any news about them from Babasha?" Brando frowned at the she-wolf.
"They left you a message and let me pass it to you, otherwise how can you find me?"
"Your sister is in my hands."
Kouha's good mood suddenly lost, and he grunted his teeth. As if roaring in a low voice.
"Say, what did they say."
"Your woman is still in the hands of The Silver Queen, but the witch did not lie to you, she was just transferred away in advance."
"Our news leaked?"
"I'm not the only person with bad intentions around you." Kouha sneered: "Some people want you to be unlucky, of course, this also counts as me."
"You mean Delphine?" Brando sank slightly: "Impossible, she has no chance, Medissa is watching her."
"She didn't betray you, but she just didn't need to do anything."
"What do you mean."
"Dream."
Brando reacted to it, the strength reached their level. You can easily control the one's own dream, so witches's spell for controlling the dream is meaningless to willpower strong people, who only need to prevent themselves from entering the dream easily.
Thanks to the ingenuity of Delphine, she would never have thought of it, but she never proposed it, that is, when she was in a dream, witches already invaded the cat and beard hotel more than once.
He and Medissa thought of arranging the old Kent to live outside the hotel, but forgot this.
He was silent for a moment. Then asked again: "Babasha they said only this?"
"They went after your woman."
"How long?"
"I don't know," Kouha looked at him in a joke: "Hey. What are you going to do?"
Brando coldly glanced at her without answering her question at all.
He returned to the crowd. The Kirrlutz nobles was originally very interested in Kouha, but since someone almost ordered the Black Wolf to bite his arm, these people have stayed away from this Sorceress, and even they can order her. Brando has a little more awe.
"What are you going to do?"
The prime minister Nederhoven heard the Brando's statement. Asked exactly the same question.
Brando took a while to realize the granddaughter of the big man Delphine Correct, but the former was calm and low-key, with wisdom in words and deeds, and the latter was obviously too far behind. It's just as clever as it is brilliant, but it's too daunting to reveal.
Sometimes it's just an outrageous lunatic, a bomb from time to time.
It's not just him, I'm afraid Her Majesty the Queen will not like it too much. The supreme one will definitely not tolerate such a wild and intractable guy existence within the scope of one's own's power.
At this point, Delphine apparently performed far less far-sighted than her grandfather, and politics was the art of compromise, not the wise man who pulled wrist.
I have to say that the Young Lady once again created a rather bad mood for him. It is only by seeing this that the aged prince of the empire will take the initiative to ask for help.
Because in the previous conversation, the prime minister did not show any malicious intentions, but if he did, he would show him a respectful attitude, apparently like a general recognition of a senior empire. Knowing the same, the civil strife in the empire is in any case also a matter of the one's own of the imperialists, and no outsider is allowed to intervene.
Not to mention the humble appearance of prime minister Nederhoven, but the arrogant heart inside.
But in any case, it was Brando make a move that helped the old guys. Besides, the latter can be said to have saved his granddaughter's life indirectly. Politicians in this era have not evolved to the point where they can rely on their accounts. He Stand up, not only to return Brando to one's affection, but also to make up for the fault caused by his granddaughter.
Brando pondered for a moment.
"I must rescue Scarlett. If Babasha and they do not chase someone, then I will only enter the city again."
"No," the others didn't speak before, and Veronica on the side interrupted him: "You look down on Her Majesty, little fellow. Do you think your arrangement at the Hanlu Manor caught her by surprise? Watch now It ’s just that she is trying you out. If you go back to Lucita, you are throwing yourself into the net. "
Most of the other noble presents also showed different looks on their faces, but they almost expressed the same meaning. Obviously, they managed to escape from the imperial capital, and no one was willing to go back.
They escaped along the way. Fortunately, I did not encounter Dragon Queen again, nor did I encounter Tree Shepherds such as Andersia in Sidney and Veronica, but this does not mean that I will be so lucky to enter the city again, not to mention everyone in the situation along the way, all the Lucita may be already Chaos into a pot of porridge.
Who would be in danger again?
Brando naturally understands this truth. For this action, he ran out of already, but there were still too many scenarios, especially Dragon Queen dared to ignore the threat of Colossal Dragons and appeared in Lucita. This was greatly unexpected.
If he still has 50% confidence in Hanlu Manor for the first time, now he will enter the city again. I am afraid that there is no hope of 10%.
This already is almost a gambler's desperate bet.
But he has to make a choice.
Not only is Scarlett trapped in the city, Ciel, Mordefeys, Andelique, and Scippamira have no audio. It is impossible for him to leave any of one's own behind.
"Teacher ..."
Fina apparently saw the plight of the latter. She looked at Teacher one's own with some patience. In her opinion, it was Brando who rescued these nobless, in order to achieve this goal. The other party has paid so much, and they should be held accountable for it.
At least you can't show that disregard. It's chilling.
Veronica sighed and patted himself on the shoulder of student: "But if you make a decision, no matter what the decision, I will accompany you, little guy."
Veronica can say so, Brando is not surprised. He knew it was her Kendo, but he was very grateful anyway.
Since encountering this Sword Saint adult, the other party has helped him no less than once, from the heart. He even regarded already as the figure of his elder.
Not to mention the inexplicable relationship between the other party and his teacher -- Grey Sword Saint Mephisto.
But what surprised him was that many of the Kirrlutz noble present also expressed the same meaning one after another. He was somewhat surprised to see the nobles -- in these empires. In his impression, these people, even the father and brother of Fina The characters are also good, but they have never been good people. two-faced is almost a footnote of these noble. When did these high-level noble become so good?
He couldn't help looking at the prime minister Nederhoven on the side, the old man did not say a word, just waiting for him to make a decision quietly, but the big man did not say a word, and he showed a certain attitude to already.
"We are soldier, Mr Count first." One of the noble said to Brando: "At this moment we are on a ship, as long as you make a decision, we will obey the order."
Brando finally heard the potential meaning in this sentence, the main point is ‘we are on the same boat’. Kirrlutz ’s nobles is still savvy as it is, but in any case, he still has some feeling in his heart.
Finally nothing is done --
"Thank you very much," he replied, "I understand what you mean, rest assured, I will not make a hasty decision, but I will not easily give up the one's own project, and wait half an hour, if not News, I will re-enter the city. "
Brando glanced at everyone present.
"As for everyone, you can wait for me here, or spontaneously organize to go to the Metz area. I believe that in the future, The Silver Queen will not be drawn by make a move for a considerable length of a period of time.
He said these words, but it was not an impulse, but he knew that even bringing these people would have no effect. The combined effects of these nobles in battle are not as good as one Veronica. It is better to sell one. Humanity, he can only choose to stand by the eldest son in the power struggle within the empire, and once these people return to the territory, they will be Aouine's potential allies in the empire.
Now he can only do so much for this ancient kingdom.
The rest is his personal affairs.
The scene was silent.
Obviously, if you can die, no one will be willing to die. Brando's words touched all the nobles present. In the eyes of an upper empire noble that Count of Tonigel could not reach at all, the Aouine countryman Thane became taller at this moment.
Suddenly, they found that outside the empire, there were also such characters with the ancient noble style.
He is not afraid of danger, kindness, tolerance, and responds to the greatest degree of loyalty under one's own. Such noble seems to be seen only in the most shining era.
"youngster," Nederhoven suddenly said slowly: "I go back with you."
Brando is stunned, I almost thought I heard it wrong.
All the Kirrlutzian present were also stunned. subconsciously looked at the former Prime Minister of the Empire.
What is the prime minister Nederhoven?
If you are not an imperial, it is difficult to understand clearly. In the early decades, the imperials referred to it as our prime minister. This is a proprietary title, except for the old Nederhoven. People can enjoy it, even the most famous prime ministers of the empire.
He created the era when the empire's kingship was most concentrated and prosperous. He said he was a hero, and he can be well deserved. He was a power minister, and he could also accept it.
In an empire, the average political life of noble is less than ten years, exactly eight years. The prime minister Nederhoven was in this position for 53 years, even before the death of the previous emperor, he was still the latter. Best friend.
If there is a miracle in this world, then this already is a miracle.
His power extended to any corner of the empire, but in the end he almost completed the transfer of almost immovable soldiers. He safely stepped down from the altar and gave The Silver Queen and his successor the eldest son a prosperous empire. You can also enjoy your old age.
If history goes in the direction known by Brando, instead of becoming messy like this.
Will such a character be a noble who surges in blood and acts impulsively?
Obviously not.
The background of his speech is questionable, even nobles, which was decided by already, seems to be a little shake.
Only a side of Sidney saw this scene but rarely seen frowned --. This is not to say that the lady of the lion's shrine does not frown, but in fact any expression is less than that on her face. So that this subtle look seems a bit rare.
Brando doesn't know this, but Sidney thought that this already was the second time the old prime minister had proposed to meet Her Majesty the Queen.
could it be that He really thought he could persuade the supreme one of the imperial empire?
This is obviously a false proposition.
The old prime minister can never be so naive. If you make such a request once, you can also say that you cannot see the situation. If you make mistakes repeatedly, then he is not Nederhoven.
Sidney couldn't help but carefully observe the look on the old man's face, but unfortunately she didn't see any clues. The old Nederhoven didn't seem to plan to elaborate on this issue anymore, he only said so. In a word, others dare not ask.
While Nederhoven Jr. on the side seemed a little bit restless, it was suppressed by one's own's father with stern eyes.
Brando happens to notice this detail.
But he didn't say much. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't dare to answer any sentence of the imperial prime minister easily. He only said, "Thank you very much, but in any case, we wait for half an hour." >
Half an hour is not long.
But it can also be long and unsettling at certain times.
