Act 90 The Princess, the Knight and the Merchant (Part 2)

"Brando?"

A crisp, slightly curious voice sounded downstairs. The voice was like a string of bells, falling on the ground in the darkness, echoing clearly, with a kind of magic power that penetrated people's hearts.

Brando seemed to have been hit by an arrow, and he stood upright. He turned around slowly, moved his neck stiffly, and glanced across the dark hall, landing on the familiar face.

The businesswoman looked up at him.

She wore a thick leather skirt that was very simple in the Butchi area. There was a bulging leather bag hanging on the leather skirt. She held a hammer in both hands, pressing it on the bag. She wore thick gloves and stepped on a pair of naughty round balls. She wore leather shoes, her long hair was tied high on the back of her head, and her smooth and flat forehead reflected the bright moonlight.

Those dark brown eyes vividly reflected curiosity and concern that did not change their original intention.

‘Bangdang——’

The hammer slipped from the business lady's hand and fell to the ground.

Brando opened his mouth.

But I can’t pronounce that name——

"There is Madara's army outside. I will take you away. They can't stop us this time!"

"I will take you to realize your dream. This time I will make you the richest businessman in the world!"

"Follow me, Roman..."

He has a lot to say——

But not a single word came out.

The businesswoman folded her hands on her purse and smiled shyly at him.

"I know."

"I know Brando cares about me."

"It's not just Roman, because Brando also has his own ideals, which we agreed on."

"Do you still remember the first time we secretly went out for an adventure, that nasty profiteer wanted to defraud us of our money, and Brando fought with them desperately?"

"Brando, I don't know where you are going. But I will always try to keep up with you."

"Even if everyone hates Roman and aunt, Brando will always be on Roman's side."

"So no matter what Brando does, Roman will always be on Brando's side."

Brando rushed to the railing of the corridor in two steps. Just holding the armrest, it was almost like crushing the piece of wood. The knuckles turned white.

At that moment, he suddenly realized how important this business lady was to him.

He is destined to be a lonely traveler, a passerby who has to face the whole world alone.

However, in this world, there is one person who is always by his side.

She is often confused, occasionally ignorant, and stubborn. He loses his temper and sometimes has some weird ideas. He is smart, wise and has outstanding talents.

But these are not the real her.

And there is only the business lady who always stands behind her, chasing his progress every step of the way.

After all, it left the deepest traces in his soul.

"Brando, don't pinch my face!"

"It hurts—"

He opened his mouth, almost suffocating in pain, but finally shouted out:

"Roman. Come with me."

"I'll take you out of here!"

"Come on an adventure with me—!"

"Do you want to see the other side of the Black Forest? That is the most magnificent scenery in the world! Let's go together, with our caravan, and visit every corner of the world!"

The smile on the business lady's face became even bigger. She was almost giggling with joy.

But in the end, he patted his little bag gently.

He held his head high and said to him with some pride:

"I'm leaving, Brando."

"Why?" Brando felt himself sniffing.

Roman thought carefully.

"Because the road ahead is still very long. Brando, you have to go on. I will wait for you in front."

"Then you wait for me——"

Brando blinked.

He said somewhat solemnly: "You must wait for me, you must wait for me, because I will definitely catch up."

The business lady smiled and nodded.

"I'll wait for you, Brando."

She took a breath.

He sniffed slightly.

He pressed his heel on the ground and turned around using it as the center of the circle.

She walked forward. The moonlight shines on the ground through the door, printing her long shadow. She took three steps. He stopped again and looked back at Brando again. Then he walked out with satisfaction.

Brando silently watched the business lady's back and disappeared from his sight.

He suddenly raised his head and pressed his hands tightly on the bridge of his nose and eyes.

Maybe it’s Butchi’s mountains outside the door——

But that night's bright starry sky and the long bright river across the pine star field, I wonder if they still exist in this dream?

He heard the sound of the mountain wind in his ears.

Crossing the fields, crossing the sleeping Butchi.

…

The will of dusk finally broke through the law of tiaat. An idea of ​​this great will is setting off storms and tides on the sea of ​​magic, descending on the world called Warnd.

The storm that is projected beyond the realm of elements eventually resonates in the material world.

Thousands of years of tides are visible to the naked eye outside the elemental barrier. What people on the earth see is a purple-black wave sweeping across the sky. The magic power trembles wherever it passes. The borders of the black forest are ready to move. Monsters in the wilderness The nest generates itself out of thin air.

But in Rushta.

In the vision of Sister Princess Magdalen, all she saw was the black shadow falling from the sky and hitting the monster that was tearing open her chest, and the latter carried a twisted force through the rift in space. , the moment it came into contact with the monster, the monster exploded as if its entire body had been flattened into a piece of paper.

Countless pieces of mutilated limbs and pieces of flesh shot out in all directions, creating a rain of flesh and blood.

She was finally awakened by this bloody storm.

After coming back from the illusion, he realized that what he saw was not the shadow of fate reflected in the abyssal lake, but the drastic changes happening around him.

But just as she realized this, the black shadow fell heavily on the floor next to her with a crash, and the walnut board suddenly exploded, and the broken wood chips flew up like butterflies.

Magdal felt that the floor had been penetrated by the opponent in this blow. In fact, the entire floor had begun to collapse, and she felt that she was falling with it.

Then she heard an angry shout:

"Damn it!"

"Ms. White Mist!" Magdale used her last bit of strength to shout in surprise.

"Huh?" Bai Wu's mind was still in confusion. The chaotic laws in the space rift had a moderate impact on her, but she could still barely tell that the owner of the voice was at least someone she knew.

It's just that she doesn't have time to think about it at the moment.

Because the whole world is shaking at this moment.

The coercion of dusk's will came to this world one after another. With the furious will, the stone slabs on countless streets turned into powder in an instant.

Even Magdale felt the trembling of the outside world inexplicably. She originally wanted to say something more, but she couldn't help but shut her mouth at this moment.

Besides, she felt like she was about to fall to the ground.

But at this time Bai Wu opened his mouth:

"Hold on to me, don't think too much when passing through the space rift——"

"What?"

"Don't think too much, and thank Brando for giving you a really good thing."

The aristocratic manor where the Antoinbro envoy was staying was turned into powder at that moment...

It's just that at this moment, few people have the leisure to care about the fate of outsiders. In the Palais de Saint-Contipe, crystal clusters are pouring into the White Rose Garden one by one. The Knights of the Flame are guarding the tunnel entrance and resisting desperately, but the defense line is still retreating.

A sage appeared in the crystal cluster.

The entire thousand-year imperial capital of the Cruz people seemed to be experiencing a terrible earthquake. Large areas of ceilings were falling off everyone's heads. The ground began to collapse, with mud and sand falling down. Some tunnel entrances were inevitably exposed. On the contrary, people swarmed in the blink of an eye. The arriving army of crystal clusters.

Little Nidwen was looking for his daughter like crazy, but after the little silver elf princess met the royal housekeeper for the last time, she found that she could no longer find him.

The teleportation circle is being activated for the last time——

Charles and the remaining witches all stood up. Only Knudel and Vala were still presiding over spells outside the teleportation array. After entering the holy realm, the latter was able to perform long-distance operations without the help of the magic circle. teleportation distance, so they stay to do the final work.

As for the former princess of Eruin, Knudel is determined to wait for Brando to return.

Medisa wanted to join her, but was persuaded not to do so.

Several people were looking at the east of Rushta with solemn expressions at this moment——

There, a huge black sphere was suspended in the sky over half of the Imperial Capital. It was like a black hole that was rotating all the time and swallowing up all the ruins and gravel around it. It was absorbing the ruins of large and small buildings in the Imperial Capital into it.

This black hole appeared approximately at the same moment when the will of dusk came to the world. It was suspended about several kilometers above the ground, like a huge black sun, clearly visible within dozens of miles.

"What is that?" Medissa asked, frowning and staring at the thing.

Knudel shook her head.

"Anyway, it won't be a good thing. The nearby space is becoming unstable under the influence of that thing. We must teleport in advance."

"Where's Mr. Niederwin?"

"I can't wait any longer. The Holy See of Valla will find a way to ensure his safety. You must leave first. If the magic circle cannot support it, we cannot take all of you away."

Medissa and Ciel looked at each other, with worries on their faces.

But at this moment, the expressions of the two of them changed at the same time, and they whispered:

"Lord, Lord, the Lord has returned to Warend!"
