Act 103 Shadow of the Dead (Part 2)

Brando nodded: "If you are talking about the previous news, then as far as I know, the news should be absolutely true. You should know that I am an Eruin, and my motherland is suffering from this. The invasion of the unified undead empire, that’s why I seem so anxious to return to Warnd.”

"You can think about it carefully," Brando replied: "You and Miss Huanghuo planned to go to Lubik, but turned back due to the disaster of the falling star on the way. In this way, even if you leak the news in Yugang, the ghost car should not They came to block you in Rosalin, but it turns out that they not only correctly judged the direction you were going after leaving Yugang, but they also knew that you changed your plans midway."

"You were traveling with Miss Huanghuo, and no one else knew about this matter. The only outsiders you met along the way were me and Mr. Na Xin, but according to your description, it was impossible for them to pass it on in advance along the way. Word reaches Rosalind.”

"So, the only possibility is that the undead in Madara betrayed you." Brando paused for a moment before continuing: "But the undead are on their own, and you have passed through at least a dozen undead lords along the way. Territory, how does Gui Che determine that you will eventually go to Tomro and arrive at Rosalin? There is only one possibility, and that is that the will of the mercury staff arrived at the eastern border of Madara and colluded with Gui Che .”

When Brando said this, he stopped and did not continue to speak. Unlike Mr. Liu, his vision of the problem has not been limited to Jiu Feng. So when Mr. Liu told him the secret between Yu Feng and Gui Che, he realized that there might be Mada in it. The undead of Ra are causing trouble.

There is no such thing, just because Rosalin is too close to Madala and it is too coincidental.

And what benefit does the Supreme One with the mercury staff gain from colluding with these nine-feng rebels? It's hard to say. In fact, he's not sure, unless Bramando's Black Rose is willing to make waves in both directions. Only in this way can their intentions be explained.

But this is a bit too arrogant.

Mr. Liu had little understanding of the Black Rose War that took place in Eruin, but he had a deeper understanding of the Jiufeng situation. Hearing this, his face sank slightly.

He could totally imagine it. If Gui Che gets the support of the undead and launches an attack on Jiufeng from the Swift Plains and Qingyu Hills. What a troublesome thing it would be.

But do those people really have the courage?

"Will Madala attack Jiufeng?" He couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

Brando shook his head and did not answer. It was not easy to say. After all, he did not know what the madman holding the mercury staff was thinking.

Although Madara has always coveted the sacred land south of Eruin and Saint Osor, their purpose in launching the war is obviously more than this. In later generations, the undead will attack the civilized world as if they want to destroy the entire world. Not knowing that they are still followers of Martha. Players other than Madara almost think that these undead have become the pawns of the Twilight Dragon.

Their offensive intention has obviously gone beyond the desire to occupy resources and has simply become a crazy behavior. If not for this, it would be impossible for Cruz, Faenzan and Saint Osol to unite against Madara.

"Maybe it's not as bad as you think." Brando added: "Madala also has enemies in the west. The Cruzes, Eruins and elves are all wary of these inhumans.

They may simply hope to use Gui Che's hatred for Jiu Feng to do something in Swift Plains. "

"After all, they are launching a war in the west, and they don't want to have a strong opponent behind them." Brando thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only explanation.

But he suddenly realized that his choice to help Mr. Liu and Huang Huo might be the right choice, since the enemy was afraid. That is the weakness that it is most worried about. If it can win over Jiufeng, it may prevent Madara from investing all its strength on the Western Front.

At least it will attract some of the attention of this dark empire. It's also good.

Mr. Liu nodded. He was not an indecisive person. Anyway, no matter what conspiracy the undead had, the most important thing at the moment was to escort the second lady back to Jiufeng. The Yufeng lineage could no longer bear the loss of another heir.

It was naturally much better to put Gui Che's trick on the table than in the dark. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be grateful for Brando's reminder, otherwise. I'm afraid that when the ghost car starts, Jiu Feng will realize that there is a huge undead empire standing behind their opponent.

"Mercury Staff..."

He secretly remembered this term in his mind.

But at this time Brando thought of another thing. He suddenly asked: "Mr. Liu, you and Miss Huanghuo originally planned to cross Madala to Lubik. So you should have a map of Madala?"

Brando was a little surprised. Crossing Madala was not an easy task. Before the birth of the mercury staff, Madala was just a geographical term. There were countless people in this dark territory of thousands of miles. The undead and the dark lords are independent of each other. Generally speaking, the Madara that the Eruin people are familiar with is actually only to the east of the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. As for the very small part in the Pine Mountain Range, it is not a bad idea to say that this is the Black Rose of Bramando. Because even in the most prosperous era of this dark empire, the Supreme One may not truly rule the entire territory of Madara.

In fact, she only controls the nurturing lands of this empire, and she only needs to control these core territories to call it the Dead Moon Empire.

In the remote places of this empire, even the players of this empire may not know where they extend. Only a few people have ever set foot in the lands that run through the black forest. The Buga people may have Ma. A complete map of Dara, though they have never been released to the public.

There are players who have crossed the entire territory of Madara. Some players have performed this feat before and after the Year of Spark. It took them nearly half a year, including the time when they were lost. Brando obviously did not have this. Free time.

Of course, he knew that some Jiufeng people might have maps of part of the territory south of Madara, because Jiufeng had always had land caravans leading to the desert country of Lubik, but he did not expect that Mr. Liu and Huang Huo would also fight With this idea.

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment and replied: "The Jiufeng royal family has a detailed map, not only leading to Rubik, but also the trade routes and maps leading to the southern border of Eruin. However, that map was drawn a hundred years ago It happened many years ago, and we don’t know if this map is accurate.”

Brando couldn't help but be overjoyed. He asked eagerly: "Do you have this map?"

He is now at the pinnacle of the extreme realm, only one step away from reaching the strength of the sage realm, and because of the equipment and ridiculously high will attribute, in fact, his physical fitness is actually far beyond the level of ordinary people in this realm.

With his strength, if he traveled day and night without sleep and with an accurate map, it might be faster than traveling by sea by boat.

But unfortunately, Mr. Liu's answer made him a little disappointed, because the other party had no intention of going to Eruin, and the accuracy of the map was questionable, so they actually only brought half of the map to Lubik. .

When Brando heard the news, he couldn't hide his disappointment, but he also knew that he couldn't force it. After all, not everyone goes out like those scholars who bring a carriage full of documents and maps.

He shook his head and said to Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, I have a heartfelt request. If possible, can you give me a copy of your map rubbings? If it is really inconvenient, please lend me a few. Hours are fine too.”

What he thought was that if this was a royal collection and it was inconvenient to make rubbings, with his current memory level, it would not be too troublesome to redraw a map in his mind with the help of the system. But fortunately, Mr. Liu was listening. After he said this, he immediately took out the map box from his sleeve and handed it to him without hesitation, and said that he could look at it as long as he wanted, and it didn't matter if he returned it after the rubbings were completed, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After lifting the haze from Madara and the ghost car conspiracy, the two had a pleasant conversation along the way. Mr. Liu was quite interested in Eruin's customs. When he occasionally mentioned it, Brando discovered that this Jiu Feng The swordsman did not know anything about Warnd. On the contrary, the other party seemed to be quite familiar with the relationship between Eruin, Cruz and other empires.

This makes Brando a little embarrassed, because in comparison, he knows nothing about Jiufeng. In fact, it is not just him. Jiufeng is a mysterious country for almost all players in the game.

Firstly, not many people are willing to take a few months' boat trip to a foreign country for adventure. Secondly, Jiufeng's merchant fleet is not available all the time. As Mr. Liu said, they usually arrive with Jiufeng from March to April. There are more of them in October, while at other times you will rarely see Jiufeng merchants anywhere in Warnd.

However, contrary to Brando, Mr. Liu was amazed by Brando's language talent. According to his words, Brando seemed to be someone who had lived in Jiufeng for decades. He was very familiar with many of Jiufeng's terms. Very proficient in habits.

As for Brando himself, he thought to himself, doesn't he live in Jiufeng for decades?

(PS: Some people say that the progress of the plot has been a bit slow recently. In fact, it is mainly because I am thinking about the subsequent plot, so I dare not write too fast. In addition, after a plot is over, the following plot needs some description and foreshadowing, so I will temporarily collect the plot. Gotta go slower.

In addition, someone asked the question about the Nine Swords of Loneliness. It is like this. The Nine Phoenixes were actually originally set up to introduce the expansion of DND when the Amber Sword team was launched. In fact, there was also the setting of Izumo. Cut it out for me. , so Jiu Feng itself is based on this expanded book. There are a series of schools of Desert Wind and White Crow, and of course there will also be things like the Sword of the Sage and the Sword of Military Dao, but in the end they serve the novel, so maybe It is different from the setting in the expansion book, but this book shall prevail. )(To be continued)
