The Amber Sword: Three things about Act late summer
A chafer crawled up slowly along the smooth surface of the hourglass. The barbs on its feet did nothing on the glass. After trying several times, it grabbed the hourglass's wooden support rod and climbed up. But it had just climbed to the top and was fiddled with a white finger. It furiously flapped its wings and made a rustling noise, but still fell back to the walnut table, revolved twice, rolled over, and began to repeat the previous action.
The windows are bright and bright, and the green leaves are hanging from the window edge. Mrs. Camille is trimming flower branches by the dwarf roses downstairs. The flower garden in the courtyard is a legacy of the Grudin period, but Mrs. Camille is Amandina. The Expert noble judge specially hired from Ampere Searl, his wife is very unaccustomed to the hot weather of Trentheim, but she praises the character of Amandina noble Young Lady. She thinks that she is the true demure lady of the square mile. Princess is also not inferior in any respects, and it is very likely that he has fancyed such a master. The proud husband nodded and promised to go to the remote country of Fir Tree Shire.
"Brando, you ... you really blame me?" In the study, --, a rare Aloz, can even be said to be looking at Brando with a low eyebrow, and surprised by a tall, white-haired man. Looking at this scene inexplicably, when has the mother Tyrannosaurus had such a docile side in his memory? Among the three major scourges of Dragon Race, Aloz will take the top spot. If she spreads her current appearance, I am afraid no one will believe him. He felt that this must be an illusion, or else the sun outside today was too big and dazzled his eyes.
Strange to say, after late summer, the temperature rose instead of falling. Recently, the weather has been hot for one day, and it seems to be back to the hottest days in midsummer.
already hasn't rained for more than two weeks.
"Lord Thane. It's not my fault that Aloz Young Lady is blamed. It's my negligence." Medissa said quietly.
Brando glanced at Silver Elf Little Princess. He knew in his heart that it was mostly little dragoness's negligence. She took the star-shaped stone as a stool at the time, and then she forgot all about it, and most of the Medissa did not. aware. Even let Anlieke seize the opportunity. Now that Scarlett is missing in the explosion, little dragoness is upset all day, but Brando did not expect that she should care so much about one's own, which made him a little bit dissipated. In fact, he was not worried about Scarlett. During the explosion, the myth of Milos appeared to protect the everyone who was present. The father of the frost giant also confirmed that the mountain people girl was not buried in the explosion.
If a deity is not enough to trust, then the fact that Azure Spear was not found in the ruins later proved the same fact from the side. The question now is where did Scarlett disappear. But this is not the main problem, and the current strength of Scarlett is not much better than the entire Aouine, so Brando is not very worried about the mountain people girls will encounter unexpected events. If according to Milos, she was not dead in the big bang, most of them were delayed because of something, and now the Knight and Mercenary sent from the territory and Lantolian to find people also set off, and there is such a large place near the Death Frost Forest Today, because of the explosion of already, Ippingchuan, I believe that news will come back soon.
Although he is still worried about the status of Scarlett. But it is not enough to be furious because of this incident.
But what really bothers him is the death of -- Anlieke.
As soon as Anlieke dies, the news of him as Dragon of Darkness cannot be concealed. This incident has always been a hidden danger for him. Now he wants to know who is in charge of Anlieke, but it is obviously impossible to get that person out of the vast crowd. He glanced at little dragoness with a low eyebrow. The man beside Aloz was also a Colossal Dragon. It is said that he came to catch her back to Dragon Race. She was detained because she was suspected of cheating in an exam. This was her own fault, but it was pathetic enough.
He shook his head and replied softly, "Nothing, how long will you go back this time?"
He remembered correctly. Dragon Race was detained for hundreds of years. If Aloz commits a serious crime, if he is detained for hundreds of years, then it is not that he has managed to have nothing to do with Dragon Race.
"It will be closed for three hundred years." little dragoness began to answer with a frown, but soon regained his spirits, and replied with a grin: "But it doesn't matter, they can't stop me, I can run out soon . "
Brando wasn't scared to death. He glanced at the white-haired man. Fortunately, the latter looked at the sky with two eyes. I didn't hear anything. He was relieved. Although he didn't know why this guy looked like this, it was mostly related to little dragoness. He couldn't help but give the latter a stern glance, saying that if you want to escape, you should escape. Don't say it in public. Even if you are not afraid of yourself, what if others think that I and you are conspiring? In case Dragon Race comes to blame, Valhalla is ten times stronger than it is now.
Aloz saw his look and rolled his eyes immediately, which meant: "I know, it's true!"
Then little dragoness stunned for a while, and said a few words that didn't hurt or hurt, in a word, "You can't forget me!" "I'll be back soon!" Then he was finally taken away by the white-haired man. Then Medissa also softly left, and it seemed to mention that Veronica wanted to see him or the like. Brando knew that the female Army Commander was about to rush back to the empire. This time, quest / mission was a complete success for her However, it is strange to say that Brando has often seen anxiety on his face recently. He nodded and responded, and soon there were only two people in the room.
After calming down in the study, Brando turned his eyes out of the window again.
A row of bushes is separated from the flower garden. Curran next to the stables is staring at the man combing the Anlieke horses of two tall horses. The mottled sun falls on the old Swordsman gray military uniform through the dense branches of oak trees. It makes him look like a veteran colonel, but Princess intends to hide the people below Brando from the news of Radnor hands-on. Brando knows what Curran may know about already. Although it doesn't say on the mouth, it also looks a bit Disheartened, after all, on the one hand is the kingdom of allegiance, on the other hand is the old master of one's own. His status in the castle is getting closer and closer to an old housekeeper, and Brando also has the temperament of the old Swordsman, partly because of his grandfather's relationship, and partly because he himself actually sees Curran more. Be a guest of Trentheim, not his subordinates.
A little further away is the white wall of Fortress Fir. It is covered with creepers, and it looks green and shaded. There is a staircase leading to the walkway on the city wall, where there are several patrolling guards. Outside the walkway is a female wall and a dugout. These defense facilities are connected with towering arrows at the corners. tower. The crossbowman's dazzling helmet flashed at the entrance of the arrow tower. A crossbowman seemed to be leaning on the door frame and one's own colleagues were bragging.
Outside the city wall is a main street of Fir City, but thatched cottages on both sides of the street are now demolished already. A more solid and beautiful permanent building made of wood and stone was built. After the re-laying of the slabs, the former withering scene is no longer the same. Today, the white streets are full of shadows and look like ants. A little further away, there is only a tiled red roof, and the treetop of the tree is interlaced, like a clump of parsley in the city.
Brando looked at this scene, and finally the frustrations in her heart also dissipated. Gradually a sense of accomplishment, if one year ago, Fir City was indeed a shabby rural place. But now at least already has a real urban feel. At least he has been to Brunson and Magitan. Compared with these big cities of Southern Territory, Fir City is comparable or even richer in already, and these changes, even in game, are unprecedented. It was brought by him personally. Of course, he also understood that it wasn't him who really created all this by himself, but Amandina and Romaine --. To be precise, a certain unsettled miss merchant occupies a more important position in this heavy credit.
It was her personal revival plan. Then personally brought today's thriving business to Trentheim. Today, the link from Port Griess to Ampere Searl connects the entire North. Every day, countless merchant ships sail on this channel. Under the care of Naga, this channel has become one of the safest channels in Aouine in the past six months. Because in each Merchant Union reputation. His agreement with Queen Hanlu has not been revealed in military and political terms, but it is not surprising that already was the first opportunity for businessmen to smell it, because they were originally the most sensitive group of people in human history.
A steady stream of goods is being transported to Fir Tree Shire through this channel today, and then transferred from Fir City to Faithwind Circle. Don't worry about these goods will not find where to go. Black Forest is a really rich land waiting for development. Within just these two months, student and his subordinates recalled from various places by Bolu masters have explored two or three mineral deposits in the forest, including silver, gold, copper, and even Mithril. There are also the best forest farms there. Clear prey, various precious plants, fertile soil for thousands of years of humus deposition. In the past, this forest stopped the trailblazers due to the harsh environment and horrible monsters, but now, the fire of order already located in the center of Faithwind Circle is lit. With the entire Caranga Mountain Range as the center, the order is becoming stable again. Druid and Tree Elves also joined The Brando's chariot opened the last door for Aouinian.
Material from the entire North is accelerating the Wealth buried underground into reality. Merchant ships gathered in the port carry them back from the original road, and then turn them into the urgently needed manpower, technology and Magicite of Brando. Industrial resources. This is like a channel flowing with gold, and now everyone on this channel benefits from it. As long as they have the strength or wisdom, he can get what they want because they have a generous Lord Thane's. fiancée.
All of this is Romaine's credit. Although Amandina, a somewhat confused miss merchant, may not be able to organize the entire Trentheim spring ploughing and autumn festival festival in an orderly manner, at least for now, this prosperous business situation and the city are always full of people. , The hotel full of merchants, and the sailing shadows of the harbor, all of which she negotiated. From nothing at the earliest time, relying on the air port white fang to persuade Merchant Union's trust, arrived from a sailing boat to Port Griess, and left with a load of cargo. They were all made and made by this little girl, which seems to be a little unused on weekdays.
Brando He rarely paid much attention to this matter, but he suddenly felt very lucky, because it seemed as if all of a sudden, all this appeared to him. He didn't worry about it, miss merchant already Arrange him properly. now Trentheim Everything already On Tracks. Everyone thought he was waiting to get it Radnor Land can be ambitious, but it is unknown Aouine's The future has been rolled out in front of him.
The little girl who has been by his side since the beginning has drawn the most important blueprint for him.
He couldn't help but go to see Romaine. miss merchant is retracting the fingers like white onions, holding one's own's face, Wu Yan's eyes are staring straight. Watching with interest the chafer crawled back up again. When it climbed to the apex again, she smashed it down again and again, and repeated it several times, as if she was happy. miss merchant wore a noble long skirt, but hung back on the bench, crumpled the skirt, and pulled his sleeves, and successfully put the lady outfit out of the rural little girl effect.
If you ask Mrs. Camille to see her like this, she probably sighs and shakes her head again. In fact, Brando knew that she once thought that Amandina was his fiancée, but then fortunately, Miss Adviser went to resolve this misunderstanding. He still remembers the weird look of Mrs. Camille. Brando Although he was not afraid even in the face of a real deity, the amazing look of the old-fashioned old lady forced him to flinch, and fled, and it is said that it should be his first in this world Retreat without a fight.
Brando sits side by side with miss merchant, because they sit so close together. He could almost feel the temperature of the other person, and the nose of the nose was wandering like a girl's fragrance. He felt a little light-hearted, as if thinking about something, subconsciously looped his wrist over the Romaine's waist. miss merchant's waist was fluttering, so thin that she could hold it with a sturdy grip. She seemed to feel the sudden emotion of Brando and looked back at him. With a slight smile, instead of revealing it, he kicked and kicked very comfortably, and then turned back to fiddle with the poor chafer.
Brando was thinking of some messy things, but suddenly found that although Romaine was very fond of the whereabouts of each when dealing with businessmen. But she wasn't too embarrassed by the money in her hands. In fact, she was kind of incredible to anyone except for serious business talks. He turned back to ask this question. miss merchant didn't know the number of times that the chafer had been pulled from the hourglass, and he took it for granted:
"Talking about business is like going to the battlefield. You have to compare the baht, but you have to take a long-term view of investment, and you can't get a good harvest if you care about it."
Brando, for a moment, it seems a little unexpected: "Who told you this, and also your aunt?"
"That's not true. Aunt she doesn't do business. I figured it out myself. How about it, isn't it great?"
Brando can only sigh, this is probably the so-called talent. But Romaine's eyes flickered for a moment, and I was just proud, and suddenly I was a little bit lost: "Speaking, I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, Brando, you said, help me find my aunt. No news yet."
Romaine is okay. If you say Brando, your face will be very hot. There is no news. It is because he didn't bother to find it. In fact, before mentioning Romaine, he almost forgot such a person. After all, aunt Jenny seemed to him like a Brando's family in this world, and there was always a layer of separation, which felt like it was the background. Like the characters in the figure, although he asked people to go to Bucce to inquire about it, that's just the mention. In fact, even Amandina didn't tell. Later, the Bucce responded to the news, saying that there was no clue, and this matter has since disappeared.
After all, he has too many things to do. He almost devoted himself half a year ago to pulling Aouine back from the track of his demise. The time was so tight that he was so nervous that he could barely breathe. No, let alone find someone.
But now, think about what Romaine has done for him. He looked at the face of miss merchant who had no idea in front of him, and he was really ashamed.
"There will be news soon, Aouine is so big, and your aunt must be looking for your whereabouts. Now that you are so famous, we can find her with a little attention." He pinched Squeeze Romaine's face, comforted.
Romaine giggled, narrowed his eyes and smiled like a little fox.
"Giggle, Brando, you are guilty."
"cough cough," Brando flushed. He almost forgot that although this Miss merchant had no idea, it was terribly sensitive. And the point is, she really didn't give him any face, he couldn't help looking at this guy in a bad mood. But I did not expect that the latter came to raises head seriously and shook his head vigorously: "In fact, there is nothing, Brando has a great goal, Romaine also has a great goal. When I talked about my goal, I was afraid of even Freya. Giggles, but only Brando you believe I can do it, you never laughed at me -- "
"Brando can accommodate Romaine's targets, so Romaine can also accommodate Brando's targets."
"Brando, do you know, my aunt said that the dream of a mortal is like the stars of a summer night. It looks out of reach and dazzling, but in fact we dare to reach out, then we must catch that starlight in our hands. Because of the starry summer night, those who belong to each look up at the stars.
Brando absentmindedly looked at the eyes of Romaine's, as if those bright eyes really reflected the bright starry sky of Bucce that night. He used to think that this little girl that has not been tuned has been following himself since Bucce and doing these things for himself Just because of her preferences, because this is like Romaine's character. For those close to her, she always doesn't ask right and wrong. But he never thought that she really believed that he could do it, just like what she said -- is the stars of the summer night sky, but as long as you reach out to catch, then you will definitely grasp that great starlight in your hands.
Even if the star he wants is the most dazzling one in the night sky.
"Do you know what I want to do, Little Romaine?" he asked suddenly.
Romaine nodded seriously and replied word by word.
"I know, Brando, you want to marry His Highness Princess Gryphine and become the true King of Aouine."
"噗 --"
...
(ps: It's late, I'll send you a few hundred more words.)
