Act 171 The Legacy of the People of God II
From beginning to end, Sidney just watched silently, neither objecting nor reaching out. His brows were slightly furrowed and his mouth was tightly closed. He had a serious look on his face, as if he was not in the mountains and forests west of Metz but in the hot springs. In the solemn sanctuary of the temple. When Brando saw her appearance, he couldn't help but think that this was indeed the statue of the Saint of the Lion Palace. It was absolutely right. When he saw the tattered golden-red holy robe on Sidney's body, he understood. It was not all smooth sailing for her to appear here, and it was probably no accident that she found herself. There is no doubt that she did not side with Her Majesty the Queen's Protestant side.
Her relationship with Vala is both a teacher and a friend, and she is a very principled person who would never betray the teachings of the Golden Flame Holy Way.
"Sorry, I'm a little confused," he explained.
"No problem," Sidney replied.
"Thank you for saving me."
Sidney nodded as an answer.
Brando answered while observing the surrounding environment. The mountain forest was quiet, with green leaves. Not far away, a stream gurgled between the rocks. A deer in the forest pricked up its ears and looked in this direction warily, showing that it was quiet. A peaceful scene. This place still seems to be in the previous valley, but there are no traces left by the fight. It seems that it fell far away in the end. It is not known whether Bai is nearby, or his soul has completely died.
Brando couldn't help but have a headache. It seemed that Medissa still respected her as the royal sister. He didn't know how she would react to this result. If she was resented because of it, he would have to admit it. After all, if he is given another chance. He will definitely make the same choice. It is too dangerous for that woman to stay in the world. But what he was most worried about was that Medisa would be depressed because of this, and he couldn't bear to let her get hurt anymore.
Thinking of this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head to throw away these troubles, and asked: "How long have I been unconscious."
Sidney saw the anxiety on his face and replied: Soon. I saw you fall from the sky and rushed here. It has only been a quarter of an hour now. "
It's only been a while? Brando was slightly surprised. "Madam, you are..." Although he recognized Sidney, he decided to pretend not to know him first, so as not to shock the world too much. After all, he had never seen him before. After Sidney introduced herself, she was indeed the famous Virgin of the Lion Palace, one of the top archbishops of the Temple of Fire. Without waiting for Brando to speak, he took the initiative and said: "I came here specifically to see you, Your Excellency Lord."
"Looking for me?" Brando thought that was indeed the case, but of course he still asked like this.
Sidney glanced at him and wordlessly took a bundle from behind.
Only then did Brando notice that she was carrying a baggage on her back, which was in the shape of a long strip. Wrapped in gray cloth layer upon layer. Sidney's holy robe was in tatters, but this bundle was well protected and not even stained by dust. She flattened the bundle on a rock and opened it, revealing many large and small silvery metal fragments inside as well as a dark sword hilt. The weight at the end of the hilt was so clever that it was carved into a ball. Silver flame shape.
At first glance, these fragments were fragments of a broken long sword. How could a person of Sidney's status attach so much importance to a broken sword? Therefore, the origin of these fragments is self-evident.
Sure enough, Sidney carefully sorted out the fragments one by one, after confirming that there were quite a few. Then she looked up at him solemnly. "This is the holy sword Odysseus," she answered solemnly, as if her divine tone could bring the sword back to life.
"It turns out that it's for Odyssey's sword soul." Brando understood it at once, and then he remembered that there was such a thing sleeping in his body. Speaking of which, there were quite a lot of miscellaneous things in his body. The soul of the Wind Queen, the inheritance of the Dark Dragon, the heart of thunder, the power of the planeswalker, the elite template - of course it has now become the leader template and the obscure game system, and now there are the blood of the dark god and There are some messy memories. It is inappropriate to call them a garbage dump. Calling them a mobile treasure house always gives people the illusion that the wild boss will be exploded at any time. In short, it just doesn't feel good.
After Sidney put down the fragment of the holy sword Odysseus, he did not dwell on this topic further. Instead, he said: "Before leaving the imperial capital, I met Count Wallach."
Brando was stunned for a moment before he realized what the hell the Earl was talking about was Qian. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. He had been fighting to the death in Eruin, but he only got a fief the size of Tony Geer. , and this so-called count status is still unjustified - because Toniguer is not a count, his count status should actually come from Jean Denel, but the royal party has been unwilling to let him become a count. If the master of Jean Denel hadn't needed a title as the head of the envoy this time, his title of earl would have been postponed for who knows how long. Even now, it is just a false title. And Qian just walked around Cruz, and suddenly she was on an equal footing with herself. Oh, it's not quite right to say that she was on an equal footing. Qian's fiefdom is Wallach, which is the hometown of the mountain people, located between Ludwig and May. The mountains and fields between Hotofen are at least half the size of Eruin in terms of area, not to mention that Qian is still a genuine imperial count, and its gold content is many times higher than that of a half-assed count like him.
However, when he suddenly heard the news about Akane, he felt excited. Although he knew that Akane had been staying in the imperial capital, he had not heard any news about her for almost several months. I don’t know whether the girl who is not good at words has been wronged, whether she has been under house arrest by Her Majesty the Queen, how she is doing, whether she has been embarrassed, and there are so many questions that I don’t know how to speak at the moment.
"Akane, is she okay?" he asked.
"Her Majesty did not embarrass her, because no one can force the Azure Spear," Sidney replied: "But I heard that your Majesty plans to betroth her to the son of Peno."
Sidney suddenly stopped talking, because she keenly felt that the temperature around her suddenly dropped several degrees. There was a low rustling sound in the forest. As if shivering, she raised her head in surprise and saw that the falling leaves were hanging in the air and fixed around Brando's body. A burst of white frost quickly spread to the surrounding meadow. The shaking grass blades turned white to the tips for an instant, and then turned into Ice dust powder. In the realm of time and space confinement, molecular motion completely stagnated, and the space within a few feet suddenly turned into nothingness.
This is……
Brando was shocked to realize that he had lost control of his power in his rage. He hurriedly recovered his mind, and then realized that this was because his power grew too fast and caused him to lose control. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise the law of rampage would even cause harm to himself.
"Penuo, that mountain chief?" he asked coldly.
Sidney glanced at him and nodded.
"His son is also worthy. No one is qualified to allow my subordinates to enter into political marriages. Your Majesty the Queen only has this vision."
"This should be just a statement, but if Earl Wallachie insists on not bowing his head, Her Majesty the Queen will really do this." Sidney said.
Brando was suddenly a little irritable, for some reason that he couldn't explain himself. "That stupid girl, what's wrong with lowering your head for a while? Can I still not believe her?" He didn't know who he was scolding, but he complained first, and then let out a breath. Calm down again.
Sidney saw the look on his face. Not surprising. "Your Excellency, what the Queen got on the final battlefield was different from what you got. Odin gave her not only power, but also authority. That's why the Dragon Queen, the Lion Man, the Miner people, and the Seniya people all recognized her. Even Madara did not resist her majesty," she suddenly said: "And what you got, Earl, is blood, the blood of the Dragon of War. From this point of view, you are far inferior to her. And her time More than you. After decades of careful planning and preparation, her trump card is far more than what you see. It may be difficult for you to rely only on the eldest son of the emperor to fight her."
"You all know?" Brando responded.
"We will know after your battle with Williams, Your Excellency."
Brando couldn't help but smile bitterly. So, he thought he had concealed it very well. Unexpectedly, the senior officials of the Temple of Fire knew that he had the heritage of the Dark Dragon. He was a little curious: "If that's the case, why are you so indifferent?"
"This is the same as the indifference of the Faenzan people. As for the reason, I think you, Earl, have guessed it. So it is unrealistic for you to expect the Faenzan people or other forces to intervene in this war. . The Buga people may support you behind the scenes, but that is only a part of them. The Silver City-State is divided all the year round, and they are also divided into many factions." Sidney quickly answered his doubts.
Brando shook his head again. In fact, he had expected it. Since the conversation with Tulaman, he found that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Even the Temple of Flame can be divided into two, and the Temple of Light in Faenzan will be no exception. Therefore, His Majesty the Pope in Faenzan chose to stand still is one of the possibilities. What is happening now is not as expected. many.
"Is this why you came to see me, Ms. Sidney?"
Sidney nodded candidly. "The Queen of Silver intends to restore the Miner dynasty. The Holy See of Valla and I cannot agree with her approach. The Holy See was put under house arrest by her, and I escaped from the imperial capital alone. Her Majesty the Queen won over the scholastics and made many people side with the Protestants. On the one hand, but at the local level, there are still many people who support the views of the Holy See. These people influence the opinions of a large number of nobles in Ludwig and Metz. If you just order them in the name of the eldest son of the emperor, you will be wrong. It has no effect."
"Could it be that they can't unite in the face of a powerful enemy?"
"This is a doctrinal war, and who to listen to is a very serious question."
"That's true..." Brando then realized that he had thought the problem too simply. In fact, the prime minister's daughter had asked him a similar question, but he was not an authority figure in the religious world, and the weight of his words was not at the same level after all.
He looked at the fragment of the holy sword Odysseus in Sidney's hand. Asked: "Ms. Sidney, what do you mean?"
"The Holy See asked me to find you because he wanted you to recast this sword and use the Flame Blade as a token to renovate the temple. He said - let you show another possibility of history," Sidney paused After a while, he explained: "These are His Excellency Vala's original words."
Brando's eyes widened in surprise. He originally thought that his mental endurance was good enough, but he didn't expect that it was not good enough in front of the Holy See of Valla who kept talking calmly and endlessly. He heard the meaning of this sentence and couldn't help but asked in disbelief: "Ms. Sidney, do you think this is making up a fairy tale? You mean to let me command the Temple of Fire, Do you really understand what that means? It's not a joke, I've never heard of it even among the most bizarre bedside legends."
There is only one meaning between the lines of Vala, and that is to pass the throne of the Holy See to him, but Brando believes that he does not have any so-called leadership qualities given by God, so that people can understand at a glance that this is the destined person. The destined king allows people to bow their heads and worship him. He is quite self-aware. To get to where he is today, most of the time he has relied on foresight and foresight to pretend to be gods. Although he sometimes goes too far and has managed to subdue a group of witches as his subordinates, he has never taken it seriously. Really, the more indifferent I become to these things. From the Ring of Trade Winds to the later Battle of Ampelsel, he still came step by step and spent countless blood and lives to barely change a little bit of Eruin's future.
But today, suddenly a big shot from the Temple of Fire came to him and said that he wanted to make him the Holy See. Isn't this a joke? This is just a joke.
He shook his head incomprehensibly and said earnestly: "Ms. Sidney, I know that the soul of Odysseus is sleeping in my body, so you have to come and beg me. But if you are in urgent need I'll help. In fact, I'm also willing to form an alliance with you to help you recast this holy sword, because now we have a common enemy and goal - but as for the ownership of this holy sword and the position of the holy throne, I really don't care. interest."
Brando spread his hands: "To say the least, I am not a Cruz person. In addition, I have never understood the teachings of Jinyan Zhidao in depth before, and I am not interested in the Temple of Flame at all. Don't worry. Do you want an outsider like me to lead the temple? Let alone you, even I don’t know what direction I will lead you to.”
He preconceptionally thought that the Temple of Fire was because the soul of Odysseus was in his body, so he came up with such an outrageous solution. As for a blank check, let yourself be tempted first, and everything else could be said. After all, the Temple of Flame is such a giant, and he can command the world just by holding a holy sword? That is a story in a fantasy novel. If the people below ignore him, it will be useless even if he is holding the amber sword, let alone the holy sword Odyssey. He didn't want to be used as a puppet. If the temple wanted to form an alliance with him, then it would be better for everyone to take a step back and find a more sincere way.
But what Brando didn't expect was that Sidney's expression became serious - although she had always been very serious, it was just more serious at this time. She glanced at him and solemnly replied: "Your Excellency, what do you think?" What is the teaching of the Golden Flame? Order and protection. It is not as difficult to understand as you think. Lord Vala chose you, and the holy sword Odysseus also chose you. I believe that the mistake is not too outrageous. "
Brando was so stunned that he forgot to continue speaking.
"Are you serious? Ms. Sidney?"
Sidney nodded, then shook his head: "I just followed the choice of the Holy Sword Odysseus. Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the Flame Blade, but it doesn't matter, I believe you will always understand."
Brando shook his head. "I still need to think about it. I think it is better to be more cautious about this matter. As for the recasting of the Flame Blade, I will consider it." He stood up from the ground as he spoke, and looked up in the direction of the valley. , feeling a little worried about Senior Sister and Medisa, he asked: "I'm going to find my companions, will you come with me, madam?"
Sidney nodded, as if she didn't care about having to dwell on this issue. She put away her baggage again and stood up.
