Scene 232 The Old Prime Minister

On the west side of Rusta, you can already see a corner of the open Harzel Great Plain. Under the vast night, the dark sky and the horizon merge into one, and the stars are reflected, as if there is no end. where to chase novels

Brando's team stayed in a forest. There was a farm near here. The lights of the stars came from a distance through the shadow of the forest, and the southern edge of the forest was located on an open small highland. From here to Looking south, Sandburg is more than ten miles to the southwest, and the shining edge of Lake Stroy is clearly visible.

Half an hour out of town.

The people who went out to search quickly came back dejected.

"Didn't you find any witch?"

"No."

"Didn't you find Babasha and the others?"

"No."

"Have they returned, Charles?"

"nor."

Brando asked one by one, but all the answers he got were disappointing. As usual, if the witch succeeded, he should have been waiting for them here long ago.

And even if the other party lied, then Babasha and the others should be here by now.

But in fact, the news we got was that there was no news from the two groups of people.

Even Shire and Hippamilla had no news, as if they had disappeared in the city. The existence of the Nightmare messed up the spiritual network near Rusta, and the latter even lost the means of contacting his subordinates in the end. up.

The situation was even worse than he had imagined. Although he knew that there might be various accidents in the planned plan, such a development still surprised him.

Fortunately, everyone finally found Kou Hua who had stayed outside the city beforehand. When they bumped into the latter, the black-haired girl was sitting barefoot on top of a huge white wolf, reflecting the bright The moonlight is like an elf in the forest.

"It looks like you're in trouble." Kou Hua, as always, expressed pleasure in Brando's bad mood. She used to like to find happiness in the pain of mortals, but now the fun is much less, or she has become picky. , Changed to only taste the pain of Brando alone.

It doesn't look bad though.

"Do you have any news about Babasha and the others?" Brando frowned and stared at the she-wolf.

"They left you a message and asked me to convey it to you. Otherwise, how could you find me?"

"Your sister is in my hands."

Kou Hua's good mood was immediately lost, and he gritted his teeth and made a whining sound, as if he was roaring in a low voice.

"Tell me what they said."

"Your woman is still in the hands of the Silver Queen. But that witch didn't lie to you, she was just transferred away in advance."

"Has our news leaked out?"

"I'm not the only one with malicious intentions around you." Kou Hua sneered, "There are some people who wish for your bad luck, and of course I'm one of them."

"You mean Delphine?" Brando's face sank slightly: "Impossible, she has no chance, Metisa is watching her."

"She didn't betray you. But it's just a matter of inaction."

"What's the meaning."

"dream."

Brando reacted. When the strength reaches their level, he can easily control his dreams. Therefore, the spells used by witches to manipulate dreams are meaningless to people with strong willpower. The latter only need to prevent themselves from entering dreams easily. OK.

With Delphine's ingenuity, she would have thought of this point, but she never brought it up, which meant that when she was dreaming, witches had already invaded the Cat and Whiskers Inn more than once.

He and Metisa thought of arranging old Kent to live outside the hotel, but forgot about it.

He was silent for a moment. Then he asked again: "Babasha and the others only said this?"

"They're after your woman."

"how long?"

"I don't know about that," Kou Hua turned and looked at him jokingly: "Hey, what are you going to do?"

Brando glanced at her coldly, without any intention of answering her question.

He returned to the crowd. The Cruz nobles were very interested in Kou Hua at first, but ever since someone was almost bitten off by the black wolf ordered by the latter, these people kept away from this witch, and even ordered her Brando's look a little more awe-inspiring.

"What are you going to do?"

After listening to Brando's statement, Prime Minister Nidwin asked the exact same question.

Brando was almost stunned for a moment before realizing that Delphine was the granddaughter of the great man. However, the former is calm and low-key, with wisdom contained in every word and deed, while the latter is obviously far behind, although he is just as smart. But it is too hard-edged to be dreadful.

Even sometimes she is simply an out-and-out lunatic, an untimely bomb.

He is not the only person like this, and I am afraid that Her Majesty the Queen will not like it too much. The Supreme One will never tolerate such a rebellious guy within the scope of his power.

At this point, Delphine appears to be far less visionary than her grandfather, and politics is the art of compromise. Instead of smart people wrestling wrists.

I have to say that this young lady once again created a bad mood for him. It was probably because of this that the elderly prime minister of the empire took the initiative to ask.

Because in the previous conversation, although the prime minister did not show any malice, he also showed an attitude of respect and distance towards him, which is obviously like the common cognition of a high-level empire. Regardless of the internal strife in the empire, it is also the affairs of the imperial people themselves, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere.

Not to mention Prime Minister Ni Dewen, who is humble on the surface but extremely arrogant in his heart.

But in any case, it was Brando who helped them, the old guys, not to mention that the latter could be said to have indirectly saved his granddaughter's life. Politicians in this era have not yet evolved to the point where they can repay their debts face to face. Standing up is not only to repay Brando's favor, but also to make up for the fault caused by his granddaughter.

Brando thought for a moment.

"I have to rescue Qian. If Babasha and the others don't catch up with anyone, then I have no choice but to enter the city again."

"That can't be done," before the others could speak, Veronica interrupted him: "You underestimate Her Majesty the Queen, little guy, do you think you caught her off guard by your arrangement at Hanlu Manor? Look now! It was just that she was testing you, and if you go back to Rushita, you will be in a trap."

Most of the other nobles present also showed different expressions on their faces, but they almost expressed the same meaning. Evidently, they escaped from the imperial capital with great difficulty, and no one wanted to go back.

They escaped along the way, although they were lucky enough not to encounter the Dragon Queen, nor did they encounter the tree shepherds such as Andersa that Sidney and Veronica were talking about. But this does not mean that he will be so lucky when he enters the city again. What's more, the situation along the way is obvious to all. At this moment, the whole Rushita is probably in chaos.

Who would want to step into danger again?

Brando naturally understands this truth. He has already played all his cards for this action, but there are still too many unexpected situations. In particular, the Dragon Queen dared to ignore the threat of the giant dragons and appear in Rushita swaggeringly, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

If he was 50% sure of attacking Hanlu Manor for the first time, now he would have 10% chance of entering the city again.

This is close to a gambler's all-or-nothing.

But he has to make a choice.

Now not only Akane is trapped in the city, but there is no news from Charles, Medfis, Andrig, and Hippamela. It is impossible for him to leave any of his men behind.

"teacher……"

Faina obviously saw the latter's plight, and she looked at her teacher with some embarrassment. In her opinion, it was Brando who rescued these nobles in order to achieve this goal. The other party has paid so much, and they should be responsible for it.

At least not to show such a reckless attitude, which is chilling.

Veronica sighed, and patted her student on the shoulder lightly: "But if you make a decision, no matter what it is, I will accompany you, little guy."

Brando was not surprised that Veronica could say that, he knew it was her way of swordsmanship, but no matter what. He was still very grateful.

Since meeting this Master Sword Saint, the other party has helped him a lot more than once. From the bottom of his heart, he has even regarded the other party as his elder.

Not to mention the unspeakable relationship between the other party and his teacher, Gray Sword Saint Mephisto.

But what surprised him was. Many Cruz nobles present also expressed the same meaning one after another. He looked at these nobles of the empire with some surprise—in his impression, these people, even if they were people like Faina's father and brother. , but they have never been kind-hearted people. Black belly is almost a footnote for these nobles. When did these upper-class nobles become so talkative?

He couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Nidwin who was beside him. The old man didn't say a word, just quietly waiting for him to make a decision, but the big man had already expressed a certain attitude without saying a word.

"We are soldiers first, Mr. Earl." One of the nobles said to Brando: "We are on the same boat at the moment, as long as you make a decision, we will obey the order."

Brando finally heard the potential meaning of this sentence, the point is 'we are in the same boat', the nobles of Cruz are still astute, but no matter what, he still has some feelings in his heart.

At last it was not in vain——

"Thank you very much, everyone," he replied, "I understand what you mean. Please rest assured, everyone. I will not make a hasty decision, but I will not give up my goal easily. Wait for another half an hour. If there is no news, I'm going back to town."

Brando glanced at everyone present.

"As for everyone, you can wait for me here, or organize yourself to go to the Metz area first. I believe that the Silver Queen will not be able to hunt you down for a long time to come."

He said this not on impulse, but because he knew that even if he brought these people along, it would be of no use. Favors, he can only choose to side with the eldest son of the emperor in this power struggle within the empire, and once these people return to the territory, they will be Aruin's potential allies in the empire in the future.

Now there was only so much he could do for the ancient kingdom.

The rest is his personal business.

The scene fell silent.

Obviously, no one would be willing to die if they could not die. Brando's words touched all the nobles present. In the eyes of these upper-class imperial nobles who could not be reached by Earl Tonigel, the country bumpkin lord from Eruin also became taller at this moment.

They suddenly discovered that outside of the empire, there were also such people who possessed the aristocratic style of the past.

He is not afraid of danger, kind, tolerant, and responds with the utmost loyalty of his subordinates. It seems that such a nobleman can only be seen in the most shining era.

"Young man," Niederwen suddenly said slowly, "I'll go back with you."

Brando was stunned, almost thinking he had heard wrong.

All the Cruz people present were also stunned, subconsciously looking at the former prime minister of the empire.

What kind of big man is Prime Minister Nidwin?

If you are not from the empire, it is difficult for you to understand clearly. In the early decades, the imperial people called him "our prime minister". You can enjoy it, even the most famous prime ministers of the empire's ancestors.

He single-handedly created the era of the most concentrated and prosperous royal power in the empire. If he is said to be a hero, he can deserve it, and if he is said to be a minister of power, he can accept it calmly.

In an era when the average political life of an imperial nobleman was less than ten years, eight years to be exact, Prime Minister Niederwin served in this position for fifty-three years, and even until the death of the previous emperor, he was still the latter's bosom friend.

If there are miracles in this world, then this is already a miracle.

His power extended to any corner of the empire, but in the end he completed the handover almost without using weapons. He stepped down from the altar safely and handed over the silver queen and the eldest son of the emperor who succeeded him to a prosperous empire. Enjoy your old age.

If history is moving in the direction that Brando knows, instead of becoming messed up like this.

And such a character, would he be a nobleman who is passionate and acts impulsively?

Obviously not.

Then the background of his speech is questionable, and even the nobles who have made a decision before seem to be a little shaken.

Only Sidney, who was on the side, frowned in a rare way when he saw this scene. So much so that this subtle look seemed a little rare.

Brando didn't know this, but Sidney thought that this was the second time the old prime minister had proposed to see Her Majesty the Queen.

Did he really think he could convince the self-willed Supreme of the Empire?

This is obviously a false proposition.

It is absolutely impossible for the old prime minister to be so naive. If he makes such a request once, it can be said that he cannot see the situation clearly. If he makes mistakes again and again, then he is not Niederwin.

Sidney couldn't help observing the expression on the old man's face carefully, but unfortunately she couldn't see any clues. Old Nidwin didn't seem to intend to elaborate on this issue any more. He only said this If so, others dare not ask.

On the other hand, little Ni Dewen seemed hesitant to speak, but was suppressed by his father's stern eyes.

Brando just noticed this detail.

But he didn't say much. After thinking for a moment, he didn't dare to answer any words of the prime minister of the empire. He only replied: "Thank you very much, but anyway, let's wait for half an hour."

Half an hour is not a long time.

But it can also be unnervingly long at certain times.
