Scene 61 The Last Night in Prague (Part 2)

Freya fell silent.

She seemed to think absently for a while, then raised her head to look at him again, her light brown eyes were heavy like a pair of brown gemstones. The girl knight raised her left hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took off the ring on her index finger: "Brando, take this ring, you need it more than I do outside."

Brando was slightly taken aback. He looked at the fireball ring, and the bright ruby ​​shone brightly in the candlelight.

He looked at Freya again, who turned her face slightly, and said, "This ring originally belonged to you too. I, I... just borrowed it temporarily, have you forgotten?"

At this time, the bartender who had been chatting with him stood up and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Man, it seems that you are in a little trouble, I will go to work first, and I will tell you about the legend about the wine glass later. "After speaking, the other party picked up the cup and walked to the other side of the bar with interest, to deal with a few drunk mercenaries.

Seeing this scene, the girl knight with a long ponytail couldn't help but shut her mouth subconsciously, unable to utter a word.

Brando shook his head and smiled, but the faint smile on his face couldn't hide the warmth in his heart. He looked at Freya, and once again felt the heavy weight of the word partner in his heart. He originally only left a message for Freya, but he didn't expect this stubborn girl from Butch's country to insist on seeing Roman after seeing him.

Of course he knew that the other party didn't just come here to give a ring, but the concern implied in this move.

Freya was upset right now, she clenched her fists. When she heard the news that Brando and others were leaving, she had only one thought in her mind - even if she ran out without thinking, she only wanted to see everyone - that feeling was like a person who couldn't leave. Like adults and children.

Calm down, only feel hot on the face.

She has been thinking about such a question. She wants to go to Eruin's Royal Cavalry Academy alone, leaving everyone, especially Brando, can she really do what Brando said to her by herself? Has the power to protect little Phyllis and protect everyone.

Freya felt that her heart was full of hesitation and doubts about the uncertain future. Brando was like a straw in front of her, but when things came to an end, she didn't dare to reach out and hold him tightly .

The female knight stared at the corner of Brando's clothes, stunned for a while.

Of course Brando saw through her thoughts, because Freya's thoughts seemed to be written on her face. He smiled, stretched out his hand, and took the ring. The female knight was slightly taken aback, then raised her head: "You, you accept?"

"certainly,

How dare I refuse the ring presented by the Valkyrie. "Brando laughed. But he knew that Freya would not encounter any danger in the Royal Knight Academy, and he is indeed worth more power now. If not, he would never just let Freya Ya'an accepted the ring with peace of mind.

"Valkyrie?"

"In my hometown, there is a story about the Valkyrie. The legendary Valkyrie is very heroic. She is on the horse, holding a swallowtail flag in one hand and a long sword in the other, leading her people to victory. Guard her country." Brando looked at her and smiled, thinking of another Valkyrie story.

At the end of the stormy First Epoch of Warnd, the lady on the horse, wearing silver armor, looked at each of her subordinates with shining light brown eyes. Brando remembered that the background should be the gray sky of Fort McGill, the broken flag of the Silver Cross Legion hanging weakly on the spear-and the female general was riding her beloved horse-Silver Sand, she was much stronger than many The fighters are all short - not much taller than the current Freya.

At that time, she still kept the long ponytail tied behind her head since the Butch era. The long brown ponytail hair that made people feel kind on the battlefield represented a reliable name behind it. Let everyone feel at ease, because that is Freya, Aruin's guardian and Valkyrie.

Back then, Freya just looked down at each of them, and slowly walked past each of them on her beloved horse in a silver shirt.

It was raining lightly.

Her only subordinates were more than a hundred college students from the Royal Knights Academy. There were many heirs of great nobles, and some of them even became their most difficult enemies. But at that time, they all followed the female knight, and the knights in white robes followed her all the way and appeared in the eyes of these defeated soldiers.

When depression, despair and downfall enveloped their hearts, every one of them lost confidence. Aruin is over, this dilapidated country is no match for the mighty Madara at all. They feel sorry for themselves, shaking their heads and lamenting how they chose to be born in a country where there is no hope, no tomorrow, only the humiliation of failure.

But when these young knights appeared, it was as if there was a ray of pure light, slowly parting the gloomy dark clouds in the sky like a sharp sword.

Brando will never forget that scene in his life——

The first sentence the female general said was this:

"Soldiers, please turn around and join me as we defeat Madara—"

"Please forgive me for not being able to understand your cold, hunger, fear and pain at this moment, but I can see a deep desperation from you. I feel the same for this desperation. Because at this moment, our motherland , If we fail, we will retreat, and the undead will sweep our homeland. We are losers, no matter how we quibble."

"We can't choose it all, this frustration suffocates us, is this really the only way to go? Soldiers? No, please turn back, but we have at least one more chance, let me take you together to re- Fight once."

"Please trust me."

She pressed her hand to her chest.

"I will fight side by side with you."

"I am willing to take all responsibility for this."

"Follow me, let me die before you. Let me use this promise in exchange for the courage of a man—"

That was the first time the silver lily shone on the battlefield. The legend of the Valkyrie has since been written in Eruin as a poem that moved countless players. Speaking of the guardian of Aruin, perhaps compared to most NPCs, players have a deeper memory of such a name.

Because she brought them out of the fate of failure, gave them glory, and made the name of Aruin a pride. She is their banner and the source of pride for Eruin players. They are willing to fight for her because each of them is willing to fight for their own honor.

Eruin's war song was written by an ordinary player who is not well-known on the forum, but it is sung by countless people——

We are proud Aruin people.

Even if you fail, you can't lower your noble head.

Our courage is inscribed on our swords.

Our belief is to guard our battle flag.

The blood of the Eruin people flows on the road leading to yearning.

What we yearn for——

But one day, the banner of Silver Lily will be raised again.

What we yearn for——

It is Aruin's belief that will never cease.

When we die, the voice of our soul still echoes.

reverberates across the land.

it says-

this is our homeland

The land we love so much.

Brando lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. When he raised his head again, he saw Freya lowering her head and whispering to him: "How could I do the same thing as the legendary character, Brando, I'm a stupid girl, I just Just trying to do my best.”

yes! Your hard work is the root of this legend.

The young man looked at each other, he admired such a serious Freya. Even if it's a small thing, this girl from Butch's countryside will try her best to do her best. Maybe she doesn't know what kind of potential she has, but one day, gold will come from the mud at the bottom of the river. There is a moving light shining in the sand.

He smiled: "Just treat it as a dream."

Freya glanced at him, nodded, and asked, "Is it the legend of the Highland Knights?"

Brando nodded.

Freya fell silent, and after a while, she whispered, "Is there anything else you want to tell me, Brando?"

"No more, wait..." Brando hesitated before calling the other party. He thought for a while and asked, "Freya, what do you think of Aruin?" Brando deliberately lowered his voice when he said this. In fact, his eyes had already swept across the bar to see if anyone was paying attention to them.

"Eruin? How is it?" The girl was taken aback.

"If you compare the country to a person, Aruin is now like a dying old man who is very ill." Brando replied.

Freya froze for a moment.

For a while, she was no longer the naive female militia captain she used to be. After seeing the filth among the nobles, she was full of worries about the upper-class figures who controlled the fate of the country, but she didn't understand what the problem was.

Is it the way it should be?

Or something went wrong--

The restless girl can only comfort herself, in this world, where there is light, there is darkness. Maybe everything will be fine, this is just a cycle of history. But deep down in his heart, he always wanted to know if it was just his naive perception of the world in the past.

But she didn't expect that Brando's first words to let her stay ruled out all the comforting thoughts in her mind, leaving only the worst one.

For a moment, Freya couldn't say a word.

"Freya, listen to me." Brando hesitated again and again before saying this. He was always worried that he would affect the future path of this Valkyrie. But in the end he still made up his mind—because Freya was not just the Valkyrie, she was just a shadow in his heart—she was more of a partner he could trust.

He has no real relatives in this world, and Freya has also lost her parents who raised her. Compared to this, both of them need each other's support more. In fact, since that night in Qingcun, Brando understood that his bond with the Valkyrie could not be severed anymore.

It's like two lonely, weak people leaning on each other to move forward in the dark. It is difficult for Brando to imagine these people without Butch, he can establish a connection with the world without feeling lonely all the time. And it was the same for Freya at this moment.

"Eruin may no longer be able to return to the peace of the past. Only drastic changes can save the country. Of course, drastic changes may also make it fall apart, but every one of us in this era can only try our best to restore it. I don't know how many people can see through that. I don't know how many people can understand what I mean when I say that, but Freya, do you understand?"

The female knight stared at him blankly, but subconsciously nodded.

"Do you understand now why I want you to go to Wangli Knight Academy?"

"but I……"

"Freya, do your best."

"I don't know if it's true, Brando, but I want to believe you," Freya took a breath and said with some unease: "But my mind is a little messed up now. I'm just scared, Bud What about everyone in Qi, can't we change all this?"

"So I'm also doing my best, Freya, I need your help."

The girl looked at him and stopped: "What should I do?"

"If anything happens, support Her Royal Highness overwhelmingly. I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin of Eruin is well-known. If there is anyone in the Corcova Dynasty who can lead the country out of the predicament, We can only trust her." Brando thought for a while, and replied: "At the Royal Knight Academy, I believe you will have a chance to meet her."

"Brando, why do you know so much." Freya couldn't help asking, "Are you kidding me?"

"I think so too, but when you are a chess player unconsciously, whether you want to or not, you can see the whole situation clearly. You will understand later, Freya." Brando smiled: " Don't worry too much, we will meet again. Freya, don't forget what I said, I will stand behind you—"

The girl knight lowered her head, thought for a while, and then whispered: "I understand, then I'm leaving."

When Freya said this, she was as lonely as a single migratory bird. When she turned around, Brando once had the urge to call the girl from Butch's country. But he finally endured it, Freya has her own way, he can't be so selfish.

But at this moment, the girl stopped again, and she turned around: "Brando."

"Yep?"

"I... Please help me take care of Roman, she is my best friend."

After saying this, she walked out of the bar without looking back. Only Brando was left alone, pondering over the meaning contained in her last sentence. But the young man finally just shook his head and picked up the glass on the bar.

(PS. Sorry, there are too many things during the year, so I have no face to say more. Try to write more chapters.) !)
