The Amber Sword: Act fifty-two King of the Underground (three) (first)
Act fifty-two King of the Underground (three) (first)
Brando froze when she saw the crystal tears falling off the face of Scarlett:
"What's wrong?"
But the girl absentmindedly did not hear any tears, and it took a while to react. She sucked her nose to stop the collapse, and finally realized that one's own was dysfunctional, and her cheeks for a moment became hot and red.
"Nothing, because, because it's too painful ..." Scarlett Don't overdo it, some reluctantly replied: "Lord Thane ..."
Brando burst into tears in my heart, thinking that this excuse may be too clumsy. Some -- is like crying because it is too painful? It is better to say that it is more appropriate to cover up already.
He's not a fool, he has already guessed what the girl thought. Although he didn't know what Scarlett really thought of Grey Wolf Mercenary Company's other people, Makarov, and one's own, he could see that the superficial reticence could not conceal the girl's escape from the past.
Instead of accepting everything that exists, it is better to stay in the memories of the past -- She seems to have an instinctive fear and distrust of the external world -- If you leave everything you are familiar with, it will be a huge Surrounded by a sense of isolation.
Brando doesn't know what Scarlett has experienced in the past, but he knows that ‘Maned Wolf' Makarov's original actions must have caused a huge damage to this girl.
"Can you stand up?" he asked, thinking aside.
Scarlett nodded weakly, but she tried several times. Even if she held the Brando's hand, the severe pain made her sobbed and knelt down.
Brando can't bear to see red haired girl crying while clenching his teeth. Although he hasn't seen a woman cry, but compared with those noble young lady who are always in the eye of game, Scarlett's strength makes him appreciate more.
Not to mention he's a man.
"Don't hold on anymore, let me back you!" Brando said.
They can't stay here too long, although they don't know what happened to Curran and Medissa, which were sealed on the other side. However, if the old man was returned to the surface before them, then this operation would be a complete failure.
So you have to race against time.
"Why ... then?"
Scarlett is stuck, but how can there be a Thane to do this kind of thing? Maybe Makarov will do this, but she now knows that it ’s to buy people ’s hearts. -- is like Head Commander who did n’t listen to her in the past. --. She did n’t understand why, no matter how well she did, she could n’t get it. Ike so many eyes.
But then she finally learned that even buying people's hearts also needs to be bought. Scarlett Of course I will not be jealous of the one I love, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart.
A guy who does n’t even have silver strength may not be as good as Redi in the eyes of Commander. red haired girl couldn't help but think of that already with white hair youngster killed by Brando.
But what is this young Lord Thane for?
She has no power now, and there is no Reputation in the rest of Grey Wolf Mercenary Company, which is not as good as Sanford. To say that this Lord Thane spied on her body, but she also thought that she was not as beautiful as the miss merchant who was declared to be the Brando's fiancee.
Brando is only limited to small intimacy on the limbs, let alone yourself.
"No need ..." She thought for a moment, and shook her head vigorously: "Lord Thane you go first, wait until you control the mine, then come and save me ..."
She paused and said hesitantly: "I'm Mercenary, and I won't be too scared by myself. Most, most adults, please leave me a piece of lighting crystal ..."
Brando looked at Scarlett with a terrified expression on his face, thinking that it was still a problem to find out the way out, but even if luck was all that went well, at least a few hours after coming back. Not to mention that there is no danger in leaving a girl without defense ability here. The most important thing is that he may be in danger of becoming Acolyte as soon as he is far away from Scarlett.
But he thought for a moment, instead of speaking directly, he replied politely: "You have lost too much blood, and it would be dangerous to stay here."
"it doesn't matter," red haired girl shook his head: "This is also the purpose of Mother Marsha. Besides, it is not necessary for you to bring a drag -- for adults"
She paused and her voice became weak: "Thank you in fact, Lord Thane, you don't want to leave Scarlett, that's enough ..."
The girl gasped for one breath, and suddenly smiled with a little effort: "So ... I can't be so selfish, right?"
Brando listened to these words but hesitated.
He looked at Scarlett's pair of amber-like eyes, --. There was even a mist of water inside, but in the end it was still dim and dull, and he suddenly understood it.
If such an excellent girl would be in a Vaunde stable age, at least she would not encounter such a fate. --
But does Vaunde settle down?
Amber Sword sets this world as a contentious, turbulent world, because a game needs a *** environment to compose an epic chapter, but what is an epic? For this world, nothing but the earth was burned by flames, bones piled up, and blood flowed into the river.
Vaunde is constantly being eroded at the borders of civilization. Wars are becoming more frequent. Humans have become more collective on the one hand because of the need for survival, but on the other hand they have become more utilitarian and practical.
As a consequence, the individual's existence becomes trivial.
The warmth between people has long disappeared. The whole society was filled with a cold taste, cold and efficient.
Although in Aouine, because the incompetent noble controls the country's ruling power, it has caused more and more resistance, but this resistance is not intended to overthrow the world's system. In the final analysis, it is because the people at the bottom generally doubt the legitimacy of the ruler --. This legitimacy has nothing to do with bloodline and origin. The only criterion for judgment is power.
The strong are respected, and the weak seem to deserve to survive.
As a modern person, although Brando does not object to the former, it does not agree with the latter.
It's as if he knows that the story of Scarlett is not a single case in this world. -- has thousands of Scarlett -- here. It seems like there are thousands of Funiya. If it was not him, the green village It is estimated that the end of the little girl will not go there better than the red-haired girl in front of her.
No?
Furthermore, there are far more unfortunate people in this world than they are.
He is powerless to change all this, which is different from changing the fate of the kingdom of Aouine. It is a resistance to the world itself Will. This Will not only represents the power of a huge society, but also lies in the formation of the natural laws of this power itself.
This is a different world from Earth, after all.
Brando's selfish desire is to save this kingdom. As for this desire, will damage reach more people -- These people may come from other countries in the world, Madara, Kirrlutz, -- or even for the kingdom The oppression itself is the same, he didn't think much.
Brando only hopes those who are familiar with them, Her Highness the Princess, Valkyrie, and many more people who live for this kingdom with devotion. The tragedy that happened to these people will not repeat itself.
Rewrite history, that's all.
When a tragedy like Scarlett happened to him, he didn't think he could turn a blind eye.
So after listening to the girl's words, Brando shook his head slightly after a moment's shouting: "You think too much, am I so incompetent?"
"Yeah ..." Scarlett was still hesitating.
"A good Commander will not leave the -- of any of his team members" Brando felt that at this time he should say something similar to this looks handsome, he remembered this sentence or upperclasswoman handed the team over He told him at the time.
However, he found that he opened his mouth and said that he couldn't take it seriously. In the end, he shook his head and made a bad joke: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you by taking the opportunity."
But after Brando said this, she was about to cry and felt that she had lost all the faces of the traversor.
Scarlett is not as good as there. She blushed completely and quickly shook her head: "Of course not, just ..."
"No, it's not." Brando felt that he was going to be crazy when he went on. He simply copied Scarlett with silently with both hands, and uttered a scream of disregard for the latter.
Scarlett stayed away.
She never dreamed that Brando would come hard, and thought in a mess: "He, he, he just said that he would not take advantage of me --!" But the girl immediately bowed her head like a ostrich and buried it in her chest. Earlier, his ears were red with a pounding heart, and he couldn't say a word.
Does she think this is the legendary Princess hug?
When she was in Mercenary Company before, she had thought about Ike more than one day if she would hold herself towards Holy Cathedral one day, but this little extravagant hope has become a beautiful illusion long after the appearance of Yula.
But this red haired girl would never think of it, one day someone would really hold himself like this. It's just that this person is not the one she imagined, and the dark mine road around it seems a little too weird.
But when she leaned one's own on the chest of Brando's like an ostrich, she felt a sense of stability in spite of her heartbeat.
"Lord Thane is different from most people I've met," she thought. "It's not the same as Ike. Beside him, there is a weird reassurance and trust. This feeling must be the same for Amandina. , Romaine Young Lady is the same, you can experience it ... "
Scarlett suddenly understood a little, why have more and more people gathered around Brando in just a few months, although this has nothing to do with the personal ability of youngster. -- can be in Vaunde, he has a background and ability than There are too many people.
But today she finally found the reason.
She ‘cut’ gently, thinking that she could be lucky to follow such a Thane. It seems that Mother Marsha has not completely abandoned herself.
The prospect of losing her power still made her feel a little dim. Scarlett knew that she was not a genius. It might not be that simple to find that power again.
But she shook her head to let go of this idea. Let ’s go for a day and count it. Brando's every move made already let her feel completely relieved.
But when the girl thinks so, she doesn't know that she may only have a few days or even hours of life.
...
(***. In other words, if the results are strong, I really don't want to ask for support.)
