Act 188 The Final Moment (4) Brando immediately turned around and put his index finger to his lips to silence Faina and Funia. Andesa's voice frightened the noble lady so much that she turned pale and almost screamed. It wasn't until she saw Brando's actions that she covered her mouth and calmed down.
Then the forest became quiet——
In addition to the monotonous squeaking sounds of some kind of pterygoid insects in the bushes not far away, several small rodents flew quickly through the weeds, making rustling sounds.
Faina could almost hear her pulse beating powerfully in this strange silence. The tension made her blood flow faster, but her fingers and face became increasingly pale.
"what to do?"
she asked through her mouth. The previous arrogance of the eldest lady seemed to have disappeared at this moment, leaving only a girl who was no different from ordinary people looking at Brando with frightened eyes - she realized that this was the only thing she could rely on now.
Brando glanced at her.
At this moment, the noble daughter's face was as dirty as a tabby cat, and her beautiful golden ponytail was also covered in dust. Although it would happen to anyone who had experienced the previous battle, he still felt that she looked cuter like this than before. A lot.
At least not much of the domineering eldest lady airs left when she was fighting with him before.
"no need to worry."
He also replied verbally. Brando knew very well that the rich lady like this was only a temporary phenomenon after all. She was still the daughter of the Duke of Cruz. Not to mention that her superior character was already engraved in her bones. She was still quarreling with Andersa just before he appeared. .
He calmed down and listened, and subtle footsteps gradually came from the other side of the forest. Andesa didn't seem to have any intention of hiding her whereabouts - in fact, with her strength, it was not necessary - she would only hide her head if she was afraid, Really strong people don't have to be like this.
Just like they are now——
In the past games, Brando, as a level 130 warrior, did not have to use stealth operations very often. The time when he concurrently practiced skills such as rogues was a memory from many years ago.
The experience in his memory was wonderful and exciting, but now there was something different.
In reality, the pursuit of life and death means that life is threatened at all times, and the feeling of a ray of light on the back makes people feel no excitement at all.
Instead, I felt nervous and scared to death.
Such a gap made him feel very uncomfortable. Only because the past experience was still there, Brando was able to calm down quickly.
He stood there motionless and heard two footsteps not far away in the west for a while - that direction was quite close, which meant that there might be more than one exit from the underground to the surface.
But I don’t know if this is a kind of luck?
Then he heard Andesa's voice:
"That kid may have gone far away. I didn't expect that besides the druids, there were people from the Silver Alliance secretly protecting them. There was something familiar about the spell before. I don't know if it was those old guys."
Hearing this voice, Brando couldn't help but hold his breath subconsciously, but immediately another man's voice came over, and this voice sounded familiar to him:
"I didn't expect that a monster like you would regret making too many enemies. Isn't this an irony?"
"Too many enemies? What a ridiculous statement," Andesa's voice seemed a little harsh, and you could tell she was sneering: "Listening to this tone, I understand why you are so timid, but in this case, why don't you cowards just be afraid? Go back to your filthy lair?"
"Okay, okay," the man's voice said weakly: "I'm not here to argue with you, Andesa. What I'm more curious about than this is that there is another world here. It seems that I have no doubt that we They were the first visitors here in thousands of years.”
"It's the second batch. Don't forget, they may have entered earlier."
Brando knew that the 'they' Andersa was talking about was him. That woman probably didn't dare to confirm how many people were working with him now. If she had doubts, she would have scruples. This was good news for him.
"It doesn't matter, Andesa, did you realize that the young man knew about this place from the beginning? I don't believe he could open that door by mistake without being prepared."
The male heir said: "Although the door outside should be a legacy of human stupidity, you have to admit that in the golden age, these things were at least spectacular and great compared to those pitiful civilizations now."
"Do you think, Andesa, that such a being would open the door without any warning?"
"What do you want to say, Mihara, oh - I forgot that your name should be..." Andesa asked in a frivolous tone, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the man:
"Andesa, don't you care about what the druids are secretly preparing without telling everyone? Not to mention that there are also those old immortal guys from the Silver Alliance involved. There are fragments of the Sealing Stone here, so there is no guarantee that There will be something else more amazing."
"Something more amazing? Isn't this world tree enough?"
"This withered World Tree is probably a test subject of the Ancient War, but it's nothing. You know this very well, Andersa."
"Maybe, I want to know too, so now you should end this nonsense and come with me-"
"Your character really hasn't changed at all." The man replied.
Then the two stopped talking, and Brando immediately held his breath. He understood that Andesa's perception was frighteningly high, which meant that they would be discovered by each other if they were just a little careless, and the woman didn't even need to be as professional as him. Just hitting the focus will do that.
Faina also understands this. Although this noble daughter is a little self-righteous, she is also well-informed. Coming from the upper class of the Cruz Empire, she has seen all kinds of powerful people, and she knows very well that Andesa is a real person. What a terrible enemy.
Finally, there is Funya. This little girl from the mountains is cautious and astute. She only needs to see what her brother Brando chooses to understand what she should do.
She raised her head, her big green eyes rolling around, but she didn't make a sound.
The three of them stood there like puppets. They heard the footsteps on the other side of the bush and lingered for a while. It seemed that Andesa and the man named Mihara were looking for direction.
Finally Andersa said: "They may have entered the central area." Then the footsteps gradually moved away in the direction of the World Tree.
a long time--
Only then did Brando dare to take a breath.
"Huh -" Faina let out a long breath, and patted her chest with a pale face. She looked as if she had just been fished out of the water. Sweat had already soaked her back, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Great, they've gone far, let's take the opportunity to turn back." She said immediately.
"Look back?"
"Of course, that woman thinks we have entered. Before she reacts, we should go back and meet Lady Veronica and leave here quickly, right?" Faina said matter-of-factly, her eyes widening.
"No, no, you made a mistake," Brando shook his head seriously: "You should be the one to look back now, madam. It doesn't matter, the alpha wolf outside, Esis, is still asleep and it seems he won't wake up for a while. Come on, Mist Nightmare was also defeated by Andersa, there is no danger on the road, you should still remember the way you came, right?"
"I -" The noble lady was stunned, and her eyebrows raised high and became sharp: "You want me to go alone?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want?"
"You, you, you won't accompany me?" Faina asked in disbelief.
Brando was a little confused. How natural was it for this eldest lady to say something like asking him to accompany her back? Could it be that he looked familiar to her?
"Why should I accompany you?" So he legitimately refused.
"I...you..." The noble lady looked at him with her face turning blue and white. She wanted to lose her temper immediately, but for some reason she softened halfway: "Then...then why are you staying here? "
"Then with such a big tree, a normal person would be curious, right? Miss." Brando, of course, would not tell the truth to the eldest lady, but just pointed to the World Tree and said.
Of course, any normal person can hear the perfunctory words in this statement.
"Hey, curiosity is not as important as life..."
"Eh?" Brando was stunned and asked strangely: "Are you concerned about me or are you worried that no one will go back with you?"
A blush appeared on Faina's face. She raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "None of that, idiot! It's just a casual question. I don't care about your life! Then... then I'm leaving, Don't blame me if you die..."
After saying that, she took a deep breath, turned around and left. Brando looked at the eldest lady's back and shrugged. He was more serious than the eldest lady's doubts - although it was a little beyond the plan, he had to stay and compete with Andersa for Valhalla. of dominion.
This sounds incredible, but it is not unrealistic. Andersa didn't know the true meaning of this place, so she didn't have a clear goal like him. At this point, Brando had already taken the initiative.
Secondly, he is with Funya and is the king recognized by Valhalla. If he can further gain control of this legendary territory, he can completely defeat Andesa with the help of its power.
This is like a god enjoying a huge home field advantage in his own kingdom, although this is a bit exaggerated. But as far as Brando knew, it was enough for Valhalla's sleeping garrison to drive away Andesa.
Although it is still unrealistic to 'keep' the other party here.
However, these possibilities are simple to say, but actually very thrilling to implement. Especially to gain the upper hand under Andersa's nose and strike first, just thinking about it makes it a bit difficult to reach the sky.
Brando had no interest in taking such a desperate gamble, so if he could find an opportunity to send the young lady out, he would definitely support it with both hands. In fact, if possible, he would prefer to send Funya to a safe place first.
Only the lone ranger can walk safely on the edge of danger.
But what Brando didn't expect was that when he saw Faina's back disappearing behind the door and breathed a sigh of relief, before he could look back, he saw the eldest lady walking away from inside again. come out.
"Hello--"
She clearly looked like she was scared to death of the dark, and her face was pale as hell, but her first sentence was: "Yes, yes, I, I suddenly remembered, K-K-Cruz people are not... I have no habit of abandoning my companions - although, although we were enemies before, you saved me once after all... Although you are unkind, you must not be unjust..."
Brando's face suddenly turned a little dark.
