The Amber Sword: Act 62 Message to Scarlett ii
Ivoram wanted to say something more, but suddenly found that Brando was staring at him with coldly, and quickly narrowed his neck and swallowed the last half of the sentence into the belly full of fat. The caravan of the ambassador continued to pass through the imperial soldiers and refugees. When everyone's eyes passed through those trembling men, women and children, most of them were did not say a word, Ynead, and Duke from Viero. The little loli of Golan-Elsen's family held her mother's hand tightly, a little timid, and the Ike immediately behind Brando looked like she was eager to try. It seemed to want to help those refugees, he kept on Looking in the direction of Brando's, but without permission. The NCO from Yanilas followed him, one hand rested on the hilt hanging from the waist, his eyes only fell on those imperial soldiers.
Kiara is watching indifferently. This little girl with a hugely incoordinated giant great scholar square hat stands next to Ynead and looks at all this with a cold look beyond her age, but only occasionally reveals between the looks The ironic look of a few people on Ivoram. As for the Ciel, Scippamira, and Medissa, they all had their own ideas when they saw this scene, but they all stood behind Brando and waited for the order calmly; while Jutta looked at these refugees and only lightly frowned, this scene she was in this country already See too much.
Brando didn't even look at these refugees. His eyes did not stop for a moment in the soldiers of the empire. He pursed his lips and led caravan through the chaos with a cold face. The few The Empire Knight passing by him seemed to be ignored by him as air. Although the people in the ambassador group have been together for nearly two weeks, they are still not familiar with the temper of this Commander. They only know that he is a close friend to Her Highness the Princess. They also have the same strength as in the past Archduke of Anlieke. Ivoram, Viero Duke Qianjin also Well, most of them are reminded before they travel, so that they try not to offend this powerful Lord Count, so Brando does not speak, and they do not dare to act without permission. caravan remains silent, only step by step is close to the black sword barrier. The towering gate.
The ambassador quickly passed by the caravans. The detained refugees were already left behind far away. Only Ike was still watching the back, and he frowned. Don't hide his anxious look, as if I don't understand why the Ivoram rich in chivalry that he has always admired did not let him make a move, but the image of Brando in his heart has already reached a height that cannot be reached, and the latter does not speak. The cat scratched, but could only stay in the team peacefully. He looked back and found that the little girl from Golan-Elsen's family was also looking back. She tilted her head and looked at him. The light brown eyes were full of incomprehensible look. -- didn't seem to understand why those people were arrested. But at the age of seven or eight, the world of noble is too far away from her.
The Cavalry Scout already in front of the ambassador notified Kirrlutzian, so at this time Kirrlutzian also knew the origin of this noble caravan. caravan slowly arrived under the black sword barrier city, and Brando raised his hand to stop everyone. Not long after the caravan stopped, there were three Kirrlutz Knight riding on Earth Raptor and came to them. The head of Knight wore a silver grey ceremony with breastplate, and breastplate was covered with bright medals. Brando saw his belt and helmet The color of the long mane understands that this person is a Knight Captain -- and behind him, the daughter of Archduke of Viero already changed his face slightly. According to the normal etiquette of Holy Cathedral of Fire and the subordinate countries, the empire should at least be the official envoy of this place. Come to verify their identities in person, and welcome them into the city. Kirrlutzian now sends a Knight Captain to replace, already is naked and arrogant.
This is not the first time this happened, as early as three years ago Kirrlutz His envoys went to the empire to meet the emperor and Chao He when he was new. Or even earlier, before the Frost Years, the envoys of the kingdom seemed to be already Get used to this lightness. Just past this Duke When Qian Jin read these contents from literature and history, she only felt that Aouine The national strength is meager, and it is natural for a behemoth like the Empire to be superior to him, but now it is her turn to experience it for herself Kirrlutzian When I was slow, I couldn't help but have a resentment in my heart.
But she didn't speak sensibly.
Others in the team were more or less aware that the atmosphere was somewhat wrong, but except Kiara and Ciel, others have limited knowledge of diplomatic procedures, so they can only wait silently for Brando to make a decision. Brando had expected this. He patted the shoulder of Ivoram, who was still ignorant, and asked the meatball to submit paperwork. Then the latter reacted, hurriedly took out the paperwork and seal, and came to the Kirrlutz Knight respectfully and respectfully, hands raised.
He showed already full of humility, even the soldier NCO behind Ike looked a little bit dissatisfied, but Kirrlutz Knight did not appreciate it, he took the paper impatiently, took a look, and then threw it back to Ivoram On hand. These few light movements made even the most ignorant Ivoram reflect the document in his hand --. Seriously, it can be regarded as the Aouine's national script. If the other party is an empire's border Marquis, then even if it is He didn't dare to say a few words when he returned the national book to his face, but the other party was just a small Knight Captain. Strictly speaking, it wasn't really the real noble --. Where does this confidence come from?
But Kirrlutz Knight saw him as if he had nothing. He looked at the meatball in disgust and waved his hand: "Come with me."
Ivoram stood there without daring to move. He subconsciously turned back to see Brando. This already is not the etiquette that the empire greets other countries under Holy Cathedral of Fire, or there is no etiquette at all. He is as stupid as he understands that if he makes a good claim, today he will be accused of diplomatic misconduct. But the meatball found out cryingly, Brando didn't seem to see him, standing still.
Unfortunately, he had to tremble and say to the Kirrlutz Knight: "Ser Knight, this ... does not seem to conform to the rules?"
He hoped that it was Kirrlutzian's negligence and forgotten diplomatic etiquette, but to his disappointment, the Knight gave him a cold look: "Now it is a time of war, we cannot open the door of Knight (Note ) To greet you, if you are not satisfied, you can choose to detour or return to the same way.
(Note: The gate of Knight, Sempri Duke is the name set by the main entrance of the fortress, in honor of Kirrlutz soldier who sacrificed to this fortress.)
Back to the same way?
Ivoram is sweating all over his head. At this moment, he can really see the eyes of Kirrlutzian. He used to take it for granted. The world respects strength. Kirrlutzian's fist is big enough and hard, so showing this attitude is also Tolerable. But when he enjoyed this arrogance by himself, he realized how hateful this arrogance was, and if he could, he could not wait to punch him in the face of the guy in front of him, and then return a punch to the **** Count of Tonigel on the face.
Of course, that's just thinking about it. Even if he borrowed ten guts, he didn't have the guts.
But when he was in a dilemma, Brando finally opened his mouth: "Ivoram, tell him, we can't go back."
Ivoram Rulun Shengyin, quickly turned to look at Kirrlutzian, then Knight seemed to have expected this, and could not help but smile scornfully: "Please come with me, ambassadors." He deliberately envoy The adult reads extremely hard, and with his strong accent Kirrlutz, it is full of irony. This sentence made Ivoram frightened. He was afraid that the proud Commander adult would not be able to bear it, and besides him, everyone else in the delegation frowned, especially the Count of Yanilas behind Ike. As a soldier, his right hand, already, was tightly held on the hilt.
Although Ivoram was famous in Callas, noble, but the ability to see and watch in the circle has not been lost. Naturally, he can feel the tension, he wiped his sweat, Can't help but wink at Brando, want this Lord Count to express his attitude, whether it is dead or alive.
But unfortunately, Brando still stood still as if he hadn't heard the words of Kirrlutz Knight.
This time, the Kirrlutz Knight finally realized that something was wrong. He left the fat man in front of him. raises head looked at Brando oddly and realized that this was the main agent of these Aouinian. Although he did not know who the other was , But this does not prevent him from speaking, he replied a little arrogantly: "What's the matter, guys, do you plan to stay here forever?"
Brando took a look at this guy. He has been used to these Kirrlutzian arrogant faces -- like Veronica, Lenarret and Brunde in the central noble. It ’s a little better, but especially the Kirrlutz soldier of these borders. Aouinian has more opportunities to contact, as if those trembling refugees and the Aouine noble who had seen the empire softened their tempers long ago -- So this group of people is almost the most unassuming group of the empire, Aouinian in their eyes about It is only a little more advanced than the beast. This ethos became more apparent after the first War of Black Rose. In the later Aouine ZTE period, it even affected Kirrlutz players and deal with Kirrlutz Empire in that era. It was just to call Aouine players crazy. one thing.
Compared to this, this attitude is still quite good, at least there is no sarcasm on the surface.
However, Brando is not grateful because of this 'better' attitude, because he originally came for a job. For others, the empire was to participate in the mobilization ceremony held before Holy War, and For him, this purpose is actually dispensable. He stared at this Kirrlutz Knight, and couldn't help but say a word of death, but he still held his one's own mood and replied lightly: "We came here to go to the empire, so naturally we won't stay here, nor Will you return to Mr. -- Knight the same way, do you understand me? "
"Very good, what do you mean?" Kirrlutz Knight seemed to hear the funniest thing in the world. He looked at Brando as if they were looking at a group of idiots. I came out of a backcountry, I have never seen it before, otherwise how can I stay like this?
"We mean that you must open the main entrance in accordance with etiquette and welcome the envoy to the fortress. This is related to the dignity of the kingdom, and it is also to prove to the world that you Kirrlutzian at least do not understand the politeness." Brando answered concisely Road.
Duke Qianjin opened his mouth in the back. Do n’t talk about that Kirrlutz Knight. Even she thinks that this adult Commander has suddenly become so rigid. Kirrlutzian made it clear that they should be treated slowly and give them these 'countryside' People's power down; how should these diplomatic etiquette use Lord Count as a reminder? Obviously Kirrlutzian already knew it, but it was so intentional. But if Brando does not reveal this last trace of shame, then both parties can still have a face, but after Brando is revealed, if Kirrlutzian still insists on doing so, then their envoy can lose even the last bit of face.
But of course she doesn't believe that this Count of Tonigel is really so simple, she faintly feels that Brando seems to have deliberately forced the other party to this dead end.
The Kirrlutz Knight also changed his face at the same time.
"What are you talking about?" he shouted angrily: "I said, now is the time of war, it is impossible to open the door of Knight, did you not understand, sir?"
"Here is the border between Aouine Kingdom and Kirrlutz Empire. I have never heard of any war." Brando seemed to take the scolding of Mr. Knight as a whisper, and only answered it lightly.
"Really?" Then the Knight couldn't help sneering: "Then you can go and convince Lord Marquis, this order was given by him. If you can convince him to believe that he will not be threatened by war here, I will naturally Will personally open the door of Knight to welcome everyone into the city. "
Brando gave him a glance and replied, "Well, I will convinced your Lord Marquis, but according to the etiquette, you are not qualified to meet us. This honor was originally left to your adult's deputy, but If I come to persuade him, then I'm afraid he will have to come and meet us personally as a recompense.
The Kirrlutz Knight couldn't help but stare at him as if looking at a lunatic.
"Dream daydreaming." He said, and he finally left the sentence, saying, "Well, if you don't plan to go in with me, then you are waiting here, of course, welcome you anytime. Convince our Lord Marquis. "
By the way, he left Brando and returned to the fortress with his one's own, as if he really didn't intend to ignore these inexplicable Aouine hunks.
After Kirrlutzian left, Ivoram, Duke, and other people ’s eyes subconsciously fell on their Commander. Ivoram only thought that Lord Count wanted to show off the one's own courage, but fortunately, but this one The young Thane obviously did not expect Kirrlutzian to never eat this set. The Duke silently said nothing, apparently the same idea. But the problem is that Kirrlutzian already is gone now. Their mission cannot always stay here, but whether it ’s going back or asking for the Lord Marquis, it ’s a shame. This thing is obviously caused by the adult Commander. It came out, so if someone wants to come out of the aftermath, then naturally the Commander adult should be the first to take the lead.
But Brando didn't seem to take it as a thing at all. He looked up at the towering city wall, then turned back to the Ciel behind him and said lightly: "Kirrlutzian's obsession, 60 years ago, Sixty years later, and today, this has never changed. Ciel, go to my carriage and get my sword. "
Ivoram hasn't understood what this sentence means, but Duke Qianjin already, who is more alert than him, reacted. She looked at them with stunned Commander ambassador, it seems that she just remembered the other one. Identity -- Sword Saint.
"No," she hurriedly opposed, "Lord Count, you must not be so impulsive!"
Brando looked at her and asked, "How am I impulsive, Young Lady O'Neill?"
"He asked me how he was impulsive!" Duke Qianjin almost couldn't hold back the hair of one's own. She originally thought that Brando was just a little young and vigorous, but now it seems that the other is completely crazy. She couldn't help but say loudly: "If you are going to coerce and hijack the Lord Marquis, it may trigger a war."
Brando can't help but feel a little stunned: "Who said that I was going to coerce and hijack a real noble, Young Lady O'Neill, you can't arrogantly defame my reputation."
"You don't plan to do this?" Duke stopped for a moment.
"Of course."
"You swear?"
"Duke Young Lady, although I don't dislike joking, but now you are a bit too joke." Brando replied solemnly.
Duke is a little suspicious, and she can't help but stare at Brando with suspicion.
But Brando did not intend to hold onto that **** Marquis in the past. First of all, he didn't know where the other party was staying. He couldn't kill seven in and seven out in this fortress. However, at this time Ciel already took his sabre. This sword is not the one he used to already, dark Earth Sword, but a long sword like crystal carved from ice crystals.
Brando took the sword, shoved it in his hands, then raises head came and stared at this fortress with a history of nearly 400 years.
"You have to figure out one thing, Young Lady O'Neill," Brando replied, "I never do such a troublesome thing."
At the end of the speech, he raised his sword and waved at the gate of the fortress.
A bright silver thread, as if rising from the ground, suddenly, straight into the sky --
