Act 9 Territory (3)

"But I am a member of the royal party," the old man shook his head, "Lord, do you think I will agree?" He raised the water bag in his hand, "Or do you think that with this little kindness, you think you can impress the lord?" I?"

"Master, you might as well listen to me," Brando replied: "Different things have different meanings in different situations. Blindly ignoring change is the way to self-destruction, Everton Master Beilu must have experienced your lesson once personally.”

The old man snorted softly: "Then tell me, young man."

"Less than two weeks ago, with the support of Queen Anna, the eldest son of the king has announced his heir," Brando replied. "In addition to the Sifah family, he is also supported by the Marquis of Jinghua Kluge and him. A group of people under his command. Although Master Beilu has been in prison for more than three years, who are these people? You should be familiar with them, right?"

Beru lost his voice and said "Ah", "Why did you let that guy Klug take control of the kingdom, and what were they doing to beat Lord Fulwell?" He suddenly stopped, "Where is your Majesty?"

Brando kept silent and just looked at him.

The old man was stunned for a moment, his pale hair trembled, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly deepened a lot. He seemed to have aged ten years. "How could it be...how could it be...then...wouldn't our efforts be in vain..." He muttered to himself for a long time, but as expected of a man who had experienced ups and downs, he finally stabilized himself and asked : "Well, Lord Fulwell is definitely not a mediocre person. Tell me, Lord Lord - they allow the clown Kluge to take advantage of him. There must be another reason?"

Brando nodded, but he thought in his heart that Marquis of Jinghua Kluge was not a clown. How could one of the core members of the All-Union Society be a mediocre person. But thinking this way, he would still slowly tell a series of events that had happened since the Black Rose War, and from his mouth, the meaning of this war became completely different, because at this moment, I am afraid that in the entire Eruin No one knows better than him what kind of earth-shattering changes are taking place in the neighboring dark country.

"You mean Madara invaded?"

"Exactly."

Belu's face became worse and worse. He finally raised his hand and interrupted: "So, the root cause of everything is the mercury rod in your mouth?" A glimmer of light flashed in the old man's cloudy pupils: "You mean mercury The staff has reappeared? That Loki's mercury staff?"

Brando was stunned. He didn't expect that the master craftsman actually knew this thing. You must know that the legend of the mercury staff is not widely circulated in the human world. Even in the game, Eruin and other players in the human world only intermittently sorted out a series of background stories about the mercury staff in the second year. and tasks.

"You know this mercury staff,

Brando asked: "Master Belu?" "

"Of course." Beru replied.

He suddenly patted the dust on his chest and stood up. Although he was a little unsteady, he still straightened up unsteadily: "Not only do I know the mercury staff, I also know how the legendary staff of darkness came from. .”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Brando's eyes. He had never heard of the mercury staff even in the game. He only knew that this artifact first appeared in Loki's hands, and then after countless hours of silence, it reappeared in Madala. On the land where darkness breeds. But as for its previous history, and whether it once belonged to that god, nothing is known. What surprised him was that there was an extra plot here, but he didn't know how much this master craftsman knew.

"There's not just one mercury staff." But as soon as Belu opened his mouth, Brando was nailed there as if he was petrified.

"What?"

"Actually, it is a set of artifacts," the master craftsman said calmly: "It's just that I used to think it was just a legend, but today, Lord, you said that the mercury staff has reappeared, so it is very likely that this legend is becoming a reality. Then the next one -" he paused, raised his head and stared at the young man, his cloudy eyes seemed to become extremely bright at this moment, "is the flaming scepter."

"Fire Scepter?" Brando was slightly stunned: "What is this?" The doubts in his heart became more and more serious. He was confident that he was knowledgeable enough in the game, but for what the master craftsman said But I know nothing about it, not even the slightest impression. It stands to reason that a treasure of this level will cause a sensation once it appears in the world, just like the mercury staff back then. Although Madara strictly blocked the news, it was confirmed among players in just one year.

"Lord, have you heard of the legend of the Four Sages?"

"Naturally," Brando nodded, "King of Fire Gilt, Queen of the Wind Saint Osol, Great Priest Faenzan, Saint Airanta, how could I not know this."

Beilu's eyes flashed, as if he had traveled through a thousand years and returned to the past era of the War of Saints. He said in a reminiscence tone: "In order to defeat the Dragon of Darkness, Gilt, Saint Osor, Faenzan and Airlanta clearly obtained the approval of the ancient kings." He turned around and said: "This It’s an event recorded in the Creation Epic of the Cruz people, the Poem of Heaven. Your Excellency, you don’t know about it, right?”

"The four 'Hermits' defeated the 'Emperor' in the darkness -" Brando read subconsciously. But he was suddenly startled, and a scene of a dark tower stretching into the sky under a bright full moon appeared in front of him again. He felt as if he was standing on a vast land, looking up at the endless tower that reached straight into the clouds, as if a feeling of insignificance arose spontaneously. He couldn't help but immediately shook his head to throw this illusion away from his thoughts, and then his whole body suddenly returned to reality.

"Lord?" Akane who was standing aside couldn't help but asked in a low voice as she saw beads of sweat suddenly appear on Brando's forehead, glistening under the light of the torch.

But Brando shook his head and said it was nothing. He took a breath, feeling vaguely confused in his heart, but he just asked: "I know, what next?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "The four sages took out four artifacts from the Valleys of the Former Kings. They are the scepter of fire - Odysseus."

"etc--"

Brando interrupted him with a low shout: "Odyss, isn't that the sword of King of Fire Gilt, the full name of the Sword of Fire?" He saw the master craftsman looking at him motionless, and suddenly After reacting, he couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at the Ring of the Wind Queen on his hand: "So the Ring of the Wind Queen Hydra, the Holy Power Oramisol, and the Holy Spear Sky, these are all... ?”

Belu nodded.

The young lord was silent for a long time: "How did Master Beilu know this?"

The old man looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you think I can trust you, sir?"

Brando was stunned for a moment, then took a breath and nodded: "I understand. But Master Belu, how have you considered my previous proposal?"

"Before that, I have a question," the old man replied: "Since you understand what the mercury staff means, sir, and you also know that Eruin's current situation is like walking on the edge of a cliff, then why do you have confidence? Revitalize Eruin.”

"I'm not confident," Brando replied without hesitation: "But that's not important, master, you just need to know. After the Black Rose War, the civil war in Eruin is about to break out, but now I have decided to stand on the side of Ke On the side of the Erkova royal family, now Grand Duke Anlek will immediately announce his support for the eldest son of the prince. Her Royal Highness the Princess is in a precarious situation. I hope to help her at the critical moment. In this regard, even if you call me a king The party doesn’t matter.”

Beilu looked at him doubtfully and asked: "In that case, why don't you join us? Don't you understand that there is strength in numbers?"

"I said," Brando replied, "I have my position and my way of doing things."

"With all due respect, I don't quite understand." The old man shook his head, "Everyone has a motive for doing things, but what is your motive?"

"My motive?" The young lord smiled, "My motive is - if I don't do anything, what am I doing here?"

The master craftsman was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Brando said, or he might never understand the meaning behind Brando's words. But he looked at the young man carefully and said slowly: "Even so, sir, what do you want a dying old man like me to do for you? If I can help the Corcova royal family, I will naturally go through fire and water. No, but having said that, if your lord wants to raise a private army, there will be no shortage of armor-making craftsmen like Lao Chen." He paused, "As far as I know, Fir City only has professional craftsmen who provide standard armor for the lords. There are no less than five places in the square. As the lord of the kingdom, you won’t have a headache over such a trivial matter, right?”

Brando looked at the stubborn old man and had a headache for a moment. He couldn't figure out why a decadent royal family like Corcova could always have such a group of loyal ministers. However, he also understood that his foundation was still shallow, and he could only say that he was currently on the side of the princess, so he just shook his head: "Master Beilu, it is not difficult to obtain armor no matter how much it is, but Eruin White Lion Armor, But only Wang family craftsmen like the master master the production method, right?"

"White Lion Armor!" The old man was slightly startled and looked at Brando with an unbelievable look: "Eruin Light Armor Swordsman, do you want to form a regular army?"

Brando nodded, but immediately, he suddenly frowned slightly.

He felt the Philosopher's Stone in his arms begin to vibrate again.
