The Amber Sword: Act 39 The Two Letters IV
There was nothing to say overnight. In the end, Brando and Freya sat silently for a whole night. The former was full of thoughts, while the latter was open-minded, but did not know where to start. In Freya's mind, I can't tell what kind of feelings this man has in front of her. Maybe I have some admiration, but it should probably not be a girl's feelings. -- She is not sure about this anyway, but since she knows Brando The relationship between already and Romaine was naturally embarrassed by her thin face, and then inserted into it. However, when she noticed the ambiguous relationship between Brando and Amandina with a woman's peculiar keenness, she was inevitably a little angry.
All night, she was sitting on the wooden bench silently turning the thin booklet from page to page. The book was not too thick. She quickly turned to the last page absently. subconsciously raises head came and saw that Brando was also looking at herself with bright eyes. She froze a bit, quickly buried her head again, and gritted her teeth and thought: "This abominable flower Young Master." Then, turning the booklet a little bit in a hurry. Full of thoughts: "He, how can he stare at himself that way, it's rude!"
Poor Brando, in fact, he was thinking about the words of Viscount Tirste and the letter of Lady Mother. His eyes were not so much looking at Freya as subconsciously on the wall behind her, but I don't know one's own image already in the future Valkyrie heart already is basically the same as noble scum existence.
The silence between the two continues with the long night, but it cannot delay the arrival of the next morning.
When the first morning sun rose over the roof of the tall building opposite the shabby wooden building, and passed through the window, fell to the desk, but did not cross the middle line, the door suddenly sounded There was a dull knock on the door. Brando first came back to God, he straightened up. Only to find out that the future Valkyrie on the other side of the kingdom was on his knees, the book was placed on the back of her hand, and she hung her head. The long ponytail was pecked and pecked with her head, but she had fallen asleep, but only There is a straight upper body. Deserves the title of Knight of the kingdom.
Brando couldn't help but was a bit funny, reached out and patted the other person's forehead. Freya was very alert, and opened his eyes immediately. subconsciously was about to pull the sword when his hands were moved, but he put it in her hand before The book on the floor fell to the ground with a snap, and she woke up, looking at the scene, her face turned red.
"Brando. I --"
"In fact, I also slept for a while." Brando smiled. Although he and Freya's physical fitness do not sleep for a day or two, it does not matter much, but the habit of for a moment is difficult to change. Come, not to mention the car and horse Lawton for a week in a row and the previous fierce battles, in fact, everyone's spirit collapsed.
"Someone knocked at the door?"
Brando listened for a moment, heard the rhythm of the knock on the door in fourfold, and then nodded and replied, "It's the little guy I hired." Then he came to the door and opened the door. Sure enough, I saw the teenager standing outside the door a little nervous last night, but Brando noticed that the other was still holding a basket. The basket was filled with things such as pasta and cheese. His eyes had just fallen on them, and the latter explained as if he was afraid of misunderstanding. "Sir, I just want you to have breakfast?"
I didn't expect this guy to be quite business-minded, but Brando laughed absurdly, but his face sternly said: "Let's go down. You came so early, presumably yesterday I asked you to inquire about already to understand clearly."
The boy hurriedly put down the basket, although it still seemed a bit restrictive, but it instinctively exuded a near tone: "No, my lord, what you ordered me to do. How dare you take it easy, you let me I'll inquire about everything. "
"That Miller named Scott, can you inquire?" Brando asked. Scott is actually the name of his father in this life, but outsiders generally call him Old Scott.
"I'll inquire about it overnight, sir, it's not too late to sleep, you see, here's rushing to you." The boy replied quickly, as if he had an innate talent in this regard. He described it vividly: "It is true that there is such a person. His manor is just south of Bruglas, right next to the Bucce river. But I heard he opened a mill here, but it is also a matter of decades. .When His Majesty the King of the last generation was in power, their family was still a foreigner, but it seemed to have a close relationship with the noble of Callas. "
It was just an overnight inquiry, and it was a good result, but Brando knows that this is because his father is a Miller anyway, anyway, it may be a little famous person in the vicinity. If it is replaced by an unknown member People, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find out the exact news. "What else?" He asked again.
"And ... wú ..." The boy wrinkled eyebrow and thought for a moment, he grabbed his hair and seemed to think of trivial matters: "And ... by the way, I heard he has a son in war Is missing, it ’s bad enough. "
This is what I mean. Brando understands that it seems that there are not many people who know what they have experienced after all. After all, most outsiders have heard about Count of Tonigel. The name one's own is not widely spread, even if there is. The words fell into the ears of the locals, I am afraid that it will not make people think about the relationship between the dignified kingdom Lord Count and Sword Saint Darus's descendant and a Miller. In terms of the cultural level of this era, the name is repeated. It is too common, let alone commoner, even noble sometimes has to face such awkwardness, otherwise Anson X, how did these names come from Oberg VII?
He nodded intentionally: "Others, let me ask if there are any guests in this family recently. Have you heard about it?"
The boy nodded quickly: "It seems to be."
"It seems to be there, is it really there or not?" Brando was very dissatisfied with this answer. His previous questions were just to determine whether this guy was talking nonsense. In fact, this question is the real focus. No The thought of this guy giving him an ambiguous answer as soon as he spoke, it was almost the same as saying nothing.
The teenager was startled and hurriedly looked at his face. I found that this 'very well-placed' employer didn't look like he was going to get angry, so he licked his lips and added: "I think it should be. I went to these days to deal with their family. People, they all said no, neither visitors, nor strangers staying nearby. But adults. This time I stayed a bit, because I think some guests may not be happy to let them know existence, "said the teenager. While carefully watching the look of Brando's, when he noticed a slightly surprised and mixed expression of admiration on the latter's face and nodded, he calmed down and continued: "So I changed the question . "
"You changed your question?" Brando interrupted him and asked.
The boy nodded.
"What did you ask?"
"I asked those people if there have been any caravans, Mercenary Company or any other strangers passing by near Old Scott's Mill, you know, in our place. There are always few outsiders, any Whether a passing foreigner -- is an adventurer, Mercenary, or a foreign businessman, our locals can tell them at a glance. My lord, please guess what I asked this time, and those people told me that a week ago There is a team of Knight masters passing by there. But I know the road to the old Scott's Mill is a dead end. Most people will not pass by there.
Brando knows that road was not a dead end. The road crosses the sawmill to the south and leads to Rydenburg. When he was a boy, he practiced Swordsmanship there with his grandfather, but after undead invaded, the road was completely abandoned, and it was understandable.
"A team of Knight, what kind of Knight?" he continued to ask.
"Wearing a blue jersey. However, they can't describe the Emblem on the jersey."
"Cyan tabard." Brando murmured to himself, in fact already had the answer, looking at the entire Aouine, Knight wearing a blue tabard is only Highland Knight's the one and only, of course, it is not ruled out by other forces counterfeiting. However, this is unlikely. It takes some courage to pose as Aouine to offend Highland Knight. He also had to do it in the past, and the Aouine kingdom like him is not easy to find the first Two come. "could it be that is really Highland Knight?" He shook his head and never figured out what it was like for these guys to bypass themselves to find one's own parents? could it be that Want to regain the relationship left by your grandfather, and be close to yourself? It seems that this is not necessary for those free Knights.
He put away his mind, and looked at the young man in front of him again: "You're called Dean?"
"Yes, sir." The boy revered respectfully, as if he noticed something, and added very cleverly: "If the sir needs me to serve, I can serve the sir anytime." /
"Really? Then I ask you, are you willing to leave Bruglas?" Brando also appreciates the agility of this boy named Dean when inquiring about the news, and the other party seems to have an innate talent in persuasion. This kind of person was born Nightingale in nature. He just came to Su from Ciel and was ready to build an intelligence network in Kirrlutz and Madara's. He just needs such talents.
Dean heard such a problem, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. Of course, he heard the meaning of Brando's, but he hesitated, then shook his head: "I'm afraid not, sir."
Seeing the other party's refusal, Brando was a little curious, because he clearly saw that Dean was exciting, and he couldn't help asking: "Why, could it be that, are you afraid to go out and do something?"
Dean quickly shook his head and explained, "That's not it, sir, but I still have a mother to take care of, my mother is in poor health, and I can't leave too far."
Brando suddenly glanced at the food in the basket on the ground, and couldn't help but replied a little funny: "Will these things come from your mother's handwriting?"
The face of Dean is red. Obviously, the adult had seen through his trick long ago, and some embarrassedly argued, "My mother is not worse than those hotels."
Brando glanced at the young man, and he felt a little better. He thought that although he was busy on the streets like everyone else, he was not a real lunatic. After all, he made up his mind and said to the other party, " You go back first, and I'll send someone to come to you when the time comes; you can rest assured, if I want you to leave Bruglas. I will let you take your mother, you look like this now, I'm afraid your mother may not be assured. "
Dean looked at him for a moment, and looked at him with a little surprise: "Sir, are you really telling me?" already in his mind faintly guessed that Brando might fancy that he would accept him as a follower, and he could follow such generosity Of course his host is happy to do things. However, he has never heard of the owner willing to let the one's own followers drag the house.
"Do you look like I have time to entertain you?" Brando replied angrily.
"Sir, you are the kindest person I have ever met." Dean answered sincerely.
Brando spent another silver coin to send away this newly-accepted classmate, then lifted the basket from the ground and closed the door. He turned around and realized that Amandina didn't know when he was awake. He was lying in bed and looked at him with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Lord Thane, I'm so useless." She whispered when she saw Brando turned around. . But Brando didn't care about this with her. In his opinion, he is a man, and it is only natural for a woman to rest with only one bed. He shook his head and asked, "Have you heard?"
Amandina This nodded.
"What do you think?"
"He should not have lied, but in that case, the people in your mother's letter should be Highland Knight," she whispered.
"But I'm wondering why they came to me in such a circle."
"Lord Thane, they may want to bypass other noble." Amandina replied.
In the heart of Brando. All that was conceivable was this possibility, but he was a little curious. Highland Knight bypassed the other noble exactly what he wanted to do with him. In fact, since the first battle of Ampere Searl, he was very curious about these Knight. Even if he is the grandson of Darus, the other party seems to be too enthusiastic about him. Although Darus once served as the Marshal of the Allied Forces and also held a high position in Aouine, it was never Head Commander of Highland Knight. The other party seems to have no affiliation with his grandfather, and it has nothing to do with him. If it is only for a descendant of Sword Saint, it will show 120,000 enthusiasm, even at the expense of being involved in a war . This is too outrageous.
From what it seems today, there seems to be some secret between the other party and his grandfather's family.
"The guy at Ciel is also keeping one's mouth shut." Brando complained with annoyance. In fact, he had tried to Ciel before this trip, but the guy just pretended to be crazy, and seemed to forget everything he had in his lifetime It seems similar, but Brando knows that this is absolutely impossible. Medissa is a realistic example. As a result, he was angry and sent the guy back to the territory. He was too lazy to take him to Bruglas.
But since it is certain that the guest mentioned in his parental letter is indeed Highland Knight, not coerced by others, at least let him sighed in relief. He sighed and said to Freya and Amandina: "In short, I will understand what they have trick later."
"Brando, are you going to meet them?" Freya asked curiously.
"Naturally, what else?" Brando replied angrily: "Moreover, I have n’t been home for a long time, so I should go back and see."
"Are we going, Lord Thane?" Amandina asked.
Brando nodded: "Naturally, one of you is my Adviser, the other is my assistant, naturally you should help me worry?"
Brando took it for granted, but Miss Adviser seemed to think of something else. She bowed her head under the quilt, flushed, and stopped speaking.
The three packed up and left the room and walked straight out of the city. Brando I remember my mill at home Bruglas To the south Rydenburg versus Stag Forest On the "dead end" of the sawmill, this and this Dean Described exactly the same. Brando I thought I had to find the way in my memory and it would take a while to remember. Brando's In memory, he left home basically already For two years while from Sophie's As far as the soul is concerned, it's more like this place from the future.
But soon, the pine forest on the Bucce river seemed familiar in the eyes of Brando. Two years later, obviously this area did not make earth-shaking changes. He moved along river bank, the speed became slower and slower. He looked around, every black pine, and even every piece of rock on river bank, one by one coincided with his memory, it felt very wonderful, as if he had come here more than once in a long dream same.
He silently looked at the picture-like landscape, did not say a word, but his heart rose with a feeling he had never imagined.
That's guilt.
It's been almost two years since I left home, and there was no news in the previous year. He suddenly realized how worried his parents, especially the mother of noble family from Katrieg, would worry about himself. The mother was in his memory. Although Zhong is quite knowledgeable, she is still only a little woman, gentle and quiet, and she devotes almost all her energy to her son except for housework.
I don't seem to be a troublesome guy in memory, or I wouldn't go to a remote place like Bucce by myself.
The grandfather ’s sustenance and his parents ’expectations seemed to return to his memory completely for a moment. Even before going to this place, he had some resistance and strangeness in his heart, but this feeling disappeared instantly in his heart. Completely replaced by another deeper feeling.
That feeling is so sudden --
As if something was awakened from the blood, he opened his mouth open, and a kind of expectation and timidity of a wanderer returned to his heart. He looked at all this in front of him, gently breathed in, and finally stopped. Footsteps.
"Brando?"
A little surprised voice suddenly came from not far away. Brando was slightly stunned. He looked in that direction. In that direction, a middle-aged man who was walking towards him with a donkey stopped suddenly and looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. Brando looked at the other's familiar face and blurted out: "Uncle Daun!"
"Brando, you are really Brando, you are still alive, are you back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
Brando just felt something in his eyes at this moment.
