The Amber Sword: Act 88 The Gathering of the Storm (2) (The sixth is more, so stay tuned)
The eighty-eighth episode of the storm (two) (the sixth is more, so stay tuned)
Our eyes have temporarily shifted to Piedarsson --
The core area of the Radnor province is located at the junction with the Anlieke and Vlada collars. It was originally to prevent mountain people from invading north, but as the kingdom's rule in the south gradually became stable, it became more symbolic. On the center.
Today, the largest fortress of Radnor is in Balasso, but Count of Radnor still likes to place the administrative center in the city of Piedarsson.
Pedarson Castle has a history of nearly 130 years. Its style stems from the Year of Returning Glory's revival of the elf wind. Today, this castle can be regarded as one of the few surviving artworks of that era.
It is also one of the most proud places of the Radnor family. -- symbolizes the respect for tradition of this outstanding family. This respect has earned them a higher reputation in the upper noble.
Of course, this is also in line with the "good reputation" of Lord Count of Radnor, Aouine domestic noble.
It's like the veteran of the concierge Hood guarded the castle door for most of his life, but since November War, he saw for the first time that Knight came straight to the gate at such a fast speed.
The horse's hoof shook the ground for a while. The veteran almost thought he was wrong. Now the world is quite peaceful. could it be that already fought?
The veteran immediately saw that the other's dress -- was his own.
There is urgent information!
Hood ample experience, he pushed away the slow-shouldered novice, his hands with blue tendons and knots were gripped on the winch, and the gate immediately rose to creaking and grating.
Knight didn't stop at all, like a lightning flashed across the suspension bridge and headed straight to the castle.
The information in his hand was quickly transferred to the castle waiter, and then handed over to the steward. It didn't waste much time to deliver it layer by layer. Count of Radnor has developed three emergency level for one's own letter. At present, this letter is an additional emergency level.
This level of intelligence already has not appeared in nearly a decade.
Because most of them are military newspapers.
Soon, the housekeeper rings a bell. This bell is connected to the -- nobles in the Count of Radnor room by a wire. The Magic device can be used, but the Lord Count has a hobby --. He will be a little spell because he always thinks Magic stuff is not insurance.
If machinery is available, he will never use Magic.
This is also a well-known anecdote in the noble circle.
When the bell on the left-hand side of Count of Radnor rings, he is talking to one's own guests.
This Lord Count is now full of already, but no one can tell how old he is. He has participated in November War --. Of course, for the upper noble, the tragic November War has nothing to do with them, but the war really hurt the kingdom and made these nobles memories forget it/that's all.
Lord Count is wearing a pair of monocles today, dressed neatly and decently, a black mink coat with a silver frilled ruffle collar -- with a beautiful beard, although there is a trace on the face A kind smile.
But for others, that smile means elusive emotions.
Especially the next guest --, the guest is not Kirrlutzian, even a lot of people like him do not recognize themselves as Aouinian.
In Aouinian, this humanoid has a common name -- mountain people.
mountain people, as the name suggests, is the people of the mountain, but Vaunde is called mountain people. There are many ethnic groups, most of which are Barbarian Tribe; Aouine's mountain people should belong to the Thai people. Two hundred years ago it was indeed a sealed / uncivilized ethnic group, but after After the rule of the kingdom, already is now gradually integrated into the civilized world.
However, one thing has not changed. mountain people always pursues belonging to one's own *** --. Of course, this kind of *** happens to be intolerable by the kingdom. Therefore, the border of Radnor region has never been stabilized. With various conflicts and border wars.
Of course, not all mountain peoples are the same. Some mountain peoples are also willing to accept the rule of the kingdom. --, for example, is sitting here under Count. This guest is from the area under the jurisdiction of Count. His purpose of coming here is simple. .
That is to hope that Count of Radnor can reduce taxes in the south.
Because Madara's invaded -- and in fact the Madara's army is still entangled in the south. This is an open secret. The -- war has devastating effects on local agriculture and production. In many areas, it is almost impossible to harvest. Not to mention the heavy taxation, it is even the It seems difficult to survive.
But the Kingdom doesn't seem to see this. Instead, its rule over these mountain peoples has become more severe.
Count of Radnor just listened carefully to this guest's story about their difficulties. He always smiled and didn't express his stand. For an elderly person like him, a smile seems to make him look like a kind old man, but the guests sitting below would never dare to think so -- does not have a decent end. .
The envoy of mountain people came to the end. When I was just about to say one's own request, the bell ding ding on the left side of Count of Radnor just rang.
Count moved slightly. This was the first time since this afternoon that he couldn't keep a smile on his face.
He remembered how long he hadn't received expedited information.
The old man frowned slightly and stood up. However, he did not appear to be rude at all, but nodded politely to the other person politely, and said, "Sorry, wait for a while, and let me leave."
"Please, sir." The envoy stood up in horror, not afraid to have any dissatisfaction.
Old Count left the study and opened a door to enter the next room. He immediately saw one's own Adviser and the deputy waiting for himself. In front of this deputy for many years, Count of Radnor did not maintain a fixed expression, but immediately lowered his face and asked, "What's going on?"
"Related to Trentheim." Adviser replied.
"Still the last time?" Count took a silver snuff bottle from a servant on the side and sucked it. "That waste hasn't been disposed of yet? It's been half a month! "
Old noble said angrily.
"This time, there is new information. It was sent by Knight Pallas."
"Pallas?"
Count of Radnor pauses for a while. Although Pallas is Grudin's family member, he is also his old subordinate. He participated in November War -- with him, although he only participated in the last few small battles, but the core confidant of Count of Radnor was almost all cultivated at that time.
Pallas is loyal to him and his family. Count of Radnor is not suspicious, so when he hears the news of the old Knight, he calms down and asks:
"What did he say."
Adviser did not answer, but handed him the paper letter.
...
"Brando?"
Princess Gryphine When she heard the name, eyebrow finally moved slightly, and a hint of wonder flashed in the pale silver eyes.
This little surprise only existence for a moment between the girl's look, and she frowned: "The youngster tells you, his name is Brando?"
Half-Elven Princess raised eyelash slightly and looked at the guests in front of her:
"Under such circumstances, I am afraid that I will not easily reveal my true identity."
"That's an ordinary person," this is the first time Count Barry interjected. He put his hand on his chest, and saluted slightly: "But I don't think the other party is an ordinary person. A person who has such a close relationship with Silver Elf, I am afraid that it is generally not generally Go there, dear Her Highness the Princess -- "
Gryphine's slender fingers are staggered, resting on her chin, she thought for a moment with a thought:
"Golden Apple, Silver Elf, Dragon Race Magic, Highland Knight --"
She lowered her head: "You say he has silver strength?"
"I'm afraid Correct." Makarov nodded.
"Twenty-year-old." Princess Gryphine looked at Ike, but she was actually going overboard in her heart. Oberbeck clearly told her that youngster was at most Black Iron level: "That's not the same as Mr. Ike."
"That's a real genius --" Buga replied: "There is another interesting thing, his Swordsmanship ..."
"What happened to his Swordsmanship?"
"His Swordsmanship has some shadows I am familiar with, like ... somewhat like someone I know ..."
"Mr. Buga, please continue."
"Sword Saint Darus."
"Sword Saint Darus," half-elven girl is puzzled: "But Mr. Buga, you said, the standard Aouine Military Swordsmanship used by youngster, is this not the same as the master of Darus?"
"Sword Saint Darus will also use Military Swordsmanship," Lockwood replied: "Her Highness the Princess you forgot, he is from soldier."
Improving Swordsmanship, Princess Gryphine moved.
But her mental activity did not let others see it, Lockwood continued to say, "However, silver swordsman, already is very rare --, 20 years old"
The old man said as he looked at Ike.
youngster bowed his head embarrassed.
half-elven girl heard this sentence with some emotions. Only a few outstanding youngster --s emerged from the short-term champion competition. She couldn't help thinking that could it be that Mother Marsha is still caring for Aouine.
But if this is the case, when the game will be so difficult, she often feels powerless.
The Her Highness the Princess felt a little tired, but she immediately used a good Will to force herself to divert her attention. Her breathed in had a little blood on her face.
But still asked seriously: "In addition, Lockwood master."
"Her Highness the Princess."
"You said that Golden Apple in youngster's hands did not really have any connection with his soul?"
"Yes, the old minister confirmed that he would not read wrong," Lockwood replied, "the old minister can come to protect this matter with the honor of Court Magician for decades."
This time half-elven girl is really heart-warming. It is said that Golden Apple can change a person's destiny and make people change.
If you have entered Golden Apple, can your weak brother become the true king of Aouine's?
What may make her a little confused is that anyone who gets Golden Apple will immediately think of a way to own it. But why is the youngster not affected by the -- could it be that just fake?
Impossible, teacher one's own will never read wrong.
But the Her Highness the Princess wants the other party to be so close to Silver Elf. Maybe it's really not an ordinary person. Maybe there are other plans for Golden Apple.
And she thought about the legend between Highland Knight, Dragon Race Magic and Silver Elf, for a moment's heart was pounding. Gryphine raises head, his eyes are a little brighter: "Can you think of method to win over?"
"Pushing?"
Everyone is stunned, and of course they think that they are willing to do this, no matter from the relationship between the other party and Silver Elf, or from the owner of Golden Apple.
But they have offended each other with already. What should they do? Although the youngster shows that the royal family has a good impression, this does not tell much.
"A bit difficult --" the most pragmatic Makarov replied immediately.
"No."
Her Highness the Princess shook her head with a smile, and she thought it was a little funny when she thought about it: "Maybe it is not as difficult as you think -- if this is the same person."
Everyone is still.
Her Highness the Princess twisted a letter in front of him with **** and passed it.
"Look at it."
