Act 291 The First Round of Confrontation

"It's really a boy born from a hero!" Li Woods sighed. 『≤E』≤Novel『≤Net，www.exiaosh uo.COM≤

"Mr. Brando...

"Just call me Brando." Brando interrupted her and replied.

"Brando, I want to hear your opinion on the current situation, is that okay?" Princess Griffin put her hands on the desk, gently holding the white porcelain teacup. The black tea was rippling slightly, like floating on the surface of a crystal. Rippled, she raised her head, her eyes were piercing, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be coated with a layer of silver light.

Brando's eyes swept over everyone in the study one by one. The king's party was as calm as before. Her Royal Highness seemed innocent but was very shrewd. Only the little prince looked carefully behind the nobleman as if he was a little shy. Looking at him: only a sharp and cold gaze fell on him all the time, Brando looked at him, and saw that the black female knight standing behind Griffin seemed to be called Nimesis, Brando every time The first time I saw this woman, my heart throbbed.

He looks away.

"With all due respect, for the King's party, there is no talk of the situation now." Brando bluntly replied, "The north has long fallen to Grand Duke Sifah, and the two major legions of the kingdom, the White Lions and the Black The Blade Legion is in the hands of the nobles in the north, while the Southern Legion was attacked by Madara, and its establishment is still unknown, so this may be the reason why Earl Denell has been slow to sign an agreement with Instaron."

He paused for a moment, wanting to say that although there are three leaders in the south, Viero, Karasu, and Grand Duke Goran Elson, they are all soy sauce, and the strength of the north and the south is very different. In fact, the Corcova flag is really raised. Only the princess is in the lead: the cold winter has blocked the pace of the northern army going south, but as soon as the ice and snow melt, the hope of maintaining this princess will collapse.

But this is exactly the reason why Wang Dang chose to join forces with Anleke, so he refused.

"The kingdom is surrounded by powerful enemies, and the situation is in dire straits. The Ampere Sear meeting does not belong to you. In fact, you are probably here to persuade Ampere Sear's chamber of commerce and the temple to remain neutral, instead of actually participating in this meeting?" Bran Ask more.

There was a silence in the study, and everyone looked at Brando in surprise. The situation in the kingdom has changed since the death of Oberg VII, but at this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see through the weakness of the royal party at a glance: but Brando can guess their [truth] from behind the appearance The purpose, this is extraordinary. Everyone in the world thought that they were trying to use Alek's power to win back the round at the Ambexel meeting, but the young man in front of him revealed their thoughts without any hesitation.

Both Macaro and Lewoods felt a little cold, thinking that it would be terrible if the young man in front of him was an enemy. Only Overwell glanced at Brando with appreciation,

After all, Brando was selected by him at a glance from the crowd fleeing from Riddenburg. The better Brando is, the more discerning he is.

Griffin's eyes were also full of praise. She looked at Brando as if she was looking at the most proud and close person - because no one else knew that there was a secret between her and Brando: the half-elf girl responded to Brando When I wrote the letter, influenced by the "story" that Overwell told her, there was not a trace of a girl's yearning for knight-like romance in her mind. In addition, the royal party at that time was turbulent, or it was also out of the consideration of buying a horse bone with a lot of money. However, by mistake, she privately canonized Brando as her knight.

Her Royal Highness is only seventeen years old this year, not yet at the age to put everything on luck, but apart from luck, there is only a dark destiny left.

Thinking of this, the half-elf girl was also slightly moved.

"I have met Princess Magdal, and I heard that she is a close friend of Her Royal Highness. 『≤E』≤Novel『≤网，www.exiaosh uo.COM≤" Brando replied. But in fact, he knew that the real purpose of the royal party was not for this reason. History was like an open book in front of him. He couldn't escape his eyes, let alone the "trick" that Wang Dang put on the table, and the reason why he said that was because he didn't want to be seen as a monster.

Macaro, Lea Woods and Overwell nodded slightly, and then they were relieved. Based on the relationship between the nun princess and the temple, and the influence of the temple in the Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to guess the connection between them. However, when everyone turned their attention to the noble meeting of the Fengyun Society, this young man still kept his eyes on the details around him. This calmness and sharpness was considered a first-rate talent among the nobles.

"You guessed it right, Mr. Brando. That's right. My brother's army entered the south from Loufang. There are only two ways to go—if we get the support of the Temple and the Chamber of Commerce—at least let them keep Neutral, then the nobles in the north will have to pass through the mountains of Anleke "So you intend to marry Anleke, so no matter how aggressive the northern nobles are, they have to face reality. Fighting in the mountains, they are not Anleke's opponents. In this way, the north and south will change their offensive and defensive positions. Party one or rather Anlek's chariot. Advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, and in the long run, the royal family of Corcova will be rejuvenated. "

Brando looked up, without the slightest joy in his eyes: "Then I congratulate Her Royal Highness in advance."

"Do you think there's something wrong?" Griffin's face turned pale. Brando's power seemed insignificant to the royal party, but it was very important in her heart. She vaguely felt that Brando might understand her true self, and that the goal she insisted on since she was a child even ran counter to the royal party, but there was only one person in Eruin who understood her. This person was right in front of her eyes.

She had thought he could understand her sacrifice.

Compared with this understanding, everything else is insignificant - she saw the shining light from Brando, the belief she had been supporting independently, like another bright light seen in the storm, that The surprise of finding a companion in the dark and lonely wilderness is indescribable. It is not difficult for Brando to see the same persistence as herself, whether it is in the letter or from his actions, but this person is looking at herself with a cold face now.

Her Royal Highness took a slight breath, "Can you tell me the reason?" She spoke softly, but it was not difficult to see a trace of dissatisfaction under her furrowed eyebrows. Presumably Brando could not give her a satisfactory answer, in exchange for Her Royal Highness must be disappointed.

It's really as proud as the rumors say. Brando thought to himself, but without this kind of character, he couldn't stick to this step.

"A few questions," he replied.

Overwell raised his head slightly. In fact, he was not very supportive of this plan. However, Lewoods and Marcaro agree very much. Lewoods has a great influence in the royal party, and he is the only powerful elemental powerhouse in the royal party. On the other hand, Makaro also represents the opinions of his allies, and his opposition is not tolerated.

"First, the battle between the Temple of Fire and the Temple of the Earth is imminent, and the Cruz people may not be happy to see Eruin messing around at this time. Although the Eruin people have no longer been at the mercy of the Cruz people since they became independent, but We have to admit that we are also members of the Temple of Fire." Brando replied, "At this time, although it is impossible for the Temple to intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom openly, it is still possible to open the door for the nobles in the north. Arrived. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the strength of the north is far superior to that of the south, and the fastest way for this kingdom to end the war is undoubtedly to let the north win as soon as possible."

"It's impossible for us not to think about it, young man," Lewoods finally spoke at this time, and Brando's doubts about him wiped out the goodwill he had just built up. "But once Grand Duke Alek and the king It is not so easy for the Yankees to win if the party joins forces. If the Temple intervenes presumptuously, it will only lead to a larger-scale civil war: besides, at this time of year, the Torquinine Lions are far from ready for food. The war between the temple and the temple of the earth is even more nonsense. ∮E∮Novel∮网, www.exiao shuo.C∮O∮M∮" Brando kept silent because he knew that this was history . This is exactly how the royal party in history turned around, but he still has a real reason, but the reason is really hard to say. Can he say that Anleke has bad intentions? The problem is that the royal party is not a fool, and they naturally know that Anleke has bad intentions. Her Royal Highness is trying to draw chestnuts out of the fire, and she thinks she can succeed.

But history has shown her to fail.

But Brando can't explain this failure, he can't say that I came from the future, am I a magic stick?

He was silent for a while, and the disappointment on Griffin's face grew. She clenched her fist imperceptibly, and even hoped for a moment that Brando could prove herself wrong. The seventeen-year-old Princess Her Royal Highness has been awake almost every night for the past few weeks. She knows that she is It was a tightrope walk, but she convinced herself she had to.

There was a moment of silence in the study, and Freya was a little uneasy. Although she knew a lot more than before, she still didn't understand a word of the debate between Brando and the Royal Party. The girl from Butch was even a little annoyed, thinking that this nasty guy next to her only wanted to cause trouble, even if she disagreed, don't say it in front of her.

In the final analysis, she still has Brando in her heart. She cared more about Brando's safety than the royal party's life and death.

Both Overwell and Marcaro felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, but they still couldn't help being a little dissatisfied with Brando. They felt that this young man was a bit exaggerated, even alarmist. But among the crowd, only a surprised gaze stayed on Brando for a moment, and no one even noticed this gaze. Nimesis soon became normal, as if nothing had happened.

At this awkward moment, there was a knock on the door. Everyone's eyes shifted accordingly. An attendant brought in a letter from outside the door. Her Royal Highness opened the letter and frowned. She paused, put the letter on the desk casually, and then broke the silence: "The morning results are out."

Everyone was shocked. Of course they knew that this was the result of the investigation about the assassination in the morning, but they didn't expect that the temple's actions were so fast, and it took only two or three hours to find the mastermind behind the scenes. Among the crowd, only Markaro frowned, as if thinking of something.

Brando couldn't help pricking up his ears. The assassination in the morning obviously changed history, and he also wanted to know the reason behind it.

"The person in charge is called Sisyphus."

Overwell frowned: "I know this person, he is a small family member of Amperesel.

"As soon as he finished speaking, his face immediately changed. To be able to instigate such an assassination, the people behind it must not be simple. No one would believe that a small nobleman can withstand such a big wave.

This unlucky guy is obviously a scapegoat, but the results of this investigation are taken out of the hands of the temple, and there is a big problem here.

For a moment, everyone's faces were a little ugly. Only Brando looked normal, as if he had expected this result.

Although Brando didn't know what went wrong, but when he saw the Cross Assassin in the morning, he knew that the Temple must have tampered with it.

"Mr. Brando was also mentioned in the letter." After a pause, Griffin added, "The letter said that Mr. Brando not only entered the sacred hall with weapons, but also that the two subordinates were blood descendants. The temple suspects that Mr. Brando has an affair with the cult, and hopes that we will hand him over to let him cooperate with the temple investigation." After reading this paragraph, Her Royal Highness Eldest Princess Eruin's face was already as iron as iron.

Brando was also tense, but more angry. He hadn't troubled the Temple of Flame yet, and he didn't expect that the other party would target him first, which was simply too deceitful, but he didn't do it, but was going to see Wang Dang's reaction first.

At this time, Overwell sneered: "The temple doesn't allow us to carry weapons, but it's very lenient towards assassins. When does having a blood descendant as a subordinate become evidence of having an affair with a cultist?

Eruin is next to Madara. I think many grand dukes have the dark nobles who were exiled from Madara as their subordinates, right? "

Wang Dang took this lone wolf's words very seriously, with a look of disdain on his face.

"His Royal Highness?" the servant asked in a low voice.

"There has never been a precedent for the Eruin to hand over a guest to the Cruz, let alone such a ridiculous excuse." Her Royal Highness replied coldly: "It's just someone trying to test our relationship. You just need to answer them directly, and tell them that Mr. Brando is our man, it can't be at this moment."

Brando watched the attendant exit the study obediently, and couldn't help being slightly touched. Although he knew that there was an element of showmanship involved, at least Wang Dang's attitude at this moment was clear. He looked at Overwell and the others, and the prejudice that had just arisen in his heart due to the previous debate subsided a little.

"It seems that the attitude of the temple is not as neutral as you imagined." But he still couldn't help but sneered, and then tilted his head to look at the members of the royal party. After all, he is not a real politician, and he still has the gloating factor of Sophie in his bones.

The half-elf girl's brows sank sadly, and she sighed slightly, making Brando a little sad, but she no longer entangled in this issue. "Mr. Brando, our situation is not good enough to make you laugh. But anyway, we still want your help,..."

"You are a highland knight, so I would like to ask you to win the support of the highland knight for us. Is it possible?" Her Royal Highness lowered her posture and asked in a pleading tone. She also saw that Brando had no malice towards the royal party, but some misunderstandings in her opinion, but she believed that the final result would prove her right.

Che Lando shook his head.

"Everyone knows that the Highland Knights are not the same as you, and I can personally support you. But it may not be easy to get their full approval." Although he is not a real Highland Knight, he has to pretend to be this identity , Confidence can fool the most shrewd people.

In fact, even if Shire is here, he can't pick out the slightest fault from Brando's remarks.

Everyone in the royal party also knew that Brando was telling the truth, and couldn't help but nodded heavily. But fortunately, Brando is still in control of Tonigel. This inconspicuous little place is now the key to restricting Earl Jean Denell. Otherwise, all members of the royal party will suspect that they have turned against the temple just because of this young man. Isn't it a wise move.

"But it's not impossible to imagine." Brando suddenly smiled: "Karasu once accepted Madara's most harmful, and the compromise attitude of the northern nobles has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the highland knights. As long as you show them goodwill, they must I am still willing to fall to the royal party, but the key is still the situation, after all, no one wants to join the ranks of losers."

Griffin nodded, she didn't know this, but the problem was not that simple. Regarding Brando's proposal, she only thought that she could just listen to it. The royal party and Brando's meeting was actually for the highland knights. Now that the hope has failed, Her Royal Highness suddenly feels a little exhausted.

She glanced at the hourglass quietly, and it was very close to the time for the noble meeting to start.

"Mr. Brando, I have one last personal question. I wonder if it's convenient for you to answer?" Griffin raised his head, looked at Brando and finally asked.

Brando nodded.

"You and Yanbao?" She has always been very concerned about this issue, although she does not think that Brando is Delferry's retainer, because at least Yanbao has not yet fallen to the royalist faction. In order to be clear about Tan Yue's selfishness, Griffin also decided that Brando should be his knight. But what she cared about was the relationship between Brando and the young lady from the Yanbao family.

With her shrewdness, she couldn't imagine what a big gain it would be if she could pull Yanbao into her camp.

"No, in fact, I have nothing to do with the Earl. On the contrary, I just coerced her to take me into the venue." Brando smiled and answered truthfully.

Everyone was taken aback.

"Although it's a bit impolite to say so, after all, the invitation letter to attend the meeting is only given to Grand Duke Karasu. As a little highland knight, he is not eligible to enter Huailishe Manor. I think you should be able to understand the difficulties of being a young man." Bran Duo shook his head again and added.

Only then did the members of the King's Party realize that they couldn't help looking at Brando with weird eyes for a moment. He was bold enough to hijack and coerce nobles under the nose of the temple. If it wasn't clear in their hearts that it was impossible, I'm afraid they would have wondered if those assassins in the morning were really related to this young man.

On the contrary, Her Royal Highness smiled slightly. She didn't believe Brando's words at all in her heart. The reason was very simple - she and Delferry were close friends, and in the morning, anyone could tell that the Countess obviously cared about Brando. Yes, does the hijacked person care about the hijacker? It might be possible, but not on that occasion. But she didn't intend to expose Brando's clumsy lies, but said with a smile: "Very people do extraordinary things, and your actions in Tonigel have taught us a vivid lesson. I just didn't expect that I just arrived in Amperesel , You gave me another surprise——Dilferry is too pitiful, and Mr. Brando doesn't know how to be sympathetic at all."

When Brando was reminded by Princess Griffin, he remembered the Countess's resentful eyes, and couldn't help sweating immediately.

It wasn't his intention, he said in his heart that he didn't know that the Countess was actually a soft girl.

But at the same time, he also sighed slightly, looking at Princess Griffin's calm face again, Brando knew that his persuasion was a failure. Although he didn't have much hope at first, compared to the Royal Party, he is an outsider after all. If Her Highness the Eldest Princess changed her mind just because of his few words, then he would have to doubt whether the half-elf girl is Not fake anymore.

Thinking of this, Brando can only prepare for the next move. But vaguely, he had a vague premonition that the attitude of the temple not only stunned the princess and his party, but also greatly exceeded his expectations. The promise of High Priest Wood was still in his ears, and he never expected that the Temple of Fire would turn back so quickly.

There must be something wrong here.
