Scene 299 The Vortex III
"Your Royal Highness. 『≤E』≤novel『≤网,www.exiaosh uo.COM≤, the footsteps stopped outside the walnut door, and then a woman's voice sounded. It was exactly what Brando had seen that day. The female knight." Nimesis? Griffin held one arm and smoothed the long skirt that was crumpled in the previous dispute.
"There is also an old minister, Your Highness the Princess." A deep and sharp voice replied.
"Lord Overwell." Griffin let out a breath, and in just a few seconds, she returned to normal, "Please wait a moment, I am getting ready for bed, please come in, both of you." Standing outside the door were Nimesis and Overwell with cold faces. Sir Wolf seemed to be drenched in the rain or had just returned from the outside.
Nimesis closed the door casually, and Overwell immediately said, "Your Highness, Makaro and the others are going to meet your Majesty."
"Needless to say, I know everything, Mr. Overwell." Griffin interrupted him at once, raised his head and looked at his two close vassals with bright eyes. Nimesis and her have known each other since childhood, and the relationship between the two is not so much a relationship as a close friend and a sister. Nimesis once vowed to become her knight and she is fulfilling her promise. The princess of Eruin couldn't bear it. She pursed her lips and smiled, wondering if her elder sister still remembered the ignorant oath at the beginning.
She set her sights on Overwell again. Although in name Leawoods was the teacher of her and the little prince, in fact her swordsmanship and political acumen were taught by this lone wolf that outsiders call "Teacher, Nenny." Sister Mei Sisi, please prepare, we will leave Amperesel immediately."
Overwell was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help raising his head. He originally prepared a long speech to cheer up the princess, but he didn't expect that his student's endurance was beyond his expectation. He is very familiar with the character of Her Royal Highness, and immediately keenly guessed whether something happened during this period of time.
Thinking of this, the stalwart of the royal party looked suspiciously at the room, and his gaze quickly fell on the open window.
"Teacher, you don't need to guess. I have already figured it out. I can't give up Aruin's future, nor can I allow Grand Duke Lantonilan to split the kingdom. You said that the glorious banner is still in the Eruin, but can I pick it up again, no matter how difficult and dangerous the future is?" Griffin asked.
"If you don't try, how will you know the result, Your Highness the Princess." Overwell withdrew his gaze and looked at the Highness Princess approvingly.
"But the main task now is to return to my territory, where I will start a war against the Sifah family and the temple. I believe that the people will stand with us. The Eruins have never forgotten that they have fought with The Cruz fought bravely, and the only ones who have forgotten are those who forgot the noble oath." Princess Griffin nodded. ∮E∮Novel∮Network, www.exiaoshuo.C∮O∮M∮
Overwell bowed slightly in agreement,
He opened the mouth and said: "Then the temple must have heard the news of our internal divisions, but it must not have expected that we will break up so soon. This happens to be our only chance." He turned around, "Nimesis, you How many royal knights can be mobilized?"
The head of the Royal Knights, Kadler, is a student of Lewoods and a die-hard member of the royal party. He will definitely not be on the side of the princess this season: Overwell previously arranged for Nimasis to enter the Royal Knights, just to To curb the influence of the grand master, but so far, Nimesis has only enjoyed prestige among the younger generation of knights.
Nimesis lowered her head and pondered for a while, then replied with a cold face: "No more than 30%, and they are all cadets who graduated from the Knight Academy, lacking actual combat experience."
"A little less." The princess frowned.
"We might be able to seek outside help." Overwell smiled slightly.
"External help?" A trace of panic flashed under Eruin's Highness Princess, and she couldn't help but look at the closet.
"Earl Odin seems to be very appreciative of Her Royal Highness's opposition to splitting the kingdom. I sent him out earlier, and he intended to stand by us in his words. He has a mercenary under his command and returned from the Black Forest with him. If he can be persuaded to join us, it will not only help our current situation." Sir Wolf then slowly explained the origin of his wet clothes.
"Teacher, can you convince Earl Odin?" A hint of surprise flashed in Griffin's eyes, not only because of the unexpected foreign aid, but also because his proposition was recognized by the traditional nobles.
Although the forces under Brando, who were on her side, had emerged early in Tonigel's war, in the final analysis, Her Royal Highness still did not think that an emerging force could have any strength.
In comparison, Griffin paid more attention to Brando's use as a gold-ranked swordsman. Indeed, in comparison, Earl Odin's men can return from the Black Forest,
The mercenaries who have experienced many battles play a much greater role in the current stormy situation of Amperesel at this moment.
What's more, there is an ancient family standing behind Earl Odin, and a large number of nobles who share the same political demands as him, which is a huge boost. Being able to gain the goodwill of this force is really precious to the precarious power of the princess.
However, Brando, who was hiding in the closet, scoffed at this. Overwell and Her Royal Highness still wanted to rely on the power of the nobles. 『≤E』≤Novel『≤Internet, www.exiaosh uo.COM≤Of course, this is understandable, the shackles of thought are not so easy to break, not to mention that the kingdom really needs capable people to govern, and Brando has to It is admitted that there are far more knowledgeable and talented people among the nobles of this world.
The establishment of the Youth Guard by Oberg VII, and the establishment of an academy that selects talents from the local area, is to break the monopoly of power by the old nobles, but all this has just begun and Eruin is caught in the flames of war. But the future Eruin will still benefit from it, and a large number of outstanding talents selected from the youth guard will enrich the kingdom, bringing Eruin, an ancient country, a revival period of more than ten years.
If the process hadn't been interrupted by the second and third Black Rose Wars, maybe the Regent Princess Her Royal Highness could slowly bring the derailed broken car of the Eruin Kingdom back on the right track.
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help sighing slightly.
He continued to listen to Nimesis's cold voice outside and said: "The secret road leads to the outside of the city, but the area around the 6th road is under the control of the temple, and further south is the territory of Grand Duke Anleke. The Knight Academy The trainees planned... the escape route in advance, and the only conclusion is that only by taking the water route can they have a chance to escape from Ampere Sear."
"But we don't have a boat," replied Overwell.
"It doesn't matter if you have a boat. The storm on the sea of the new moon is coming, and you can't go to sea during this season." Nimesis added.
"No, we may have a ship." Griffin suddenly remembered something. She had a hesitant look on her face. Both Nimeixijing and Overwell looked at Her Royal Highness strangely. The royal family has arranged spies and some secret retreats in various ways. If there is a merchant ship here, it is the secret that the royal family has arranged in advance. I don't think it's strange either - there is a saying in Eruin folks that the king's secrets are the most - although it is not completely correct, it also tells one-third of it.
It's just that after hesitating for a while, Griffin suddenly said, "Let me introduce a guest to you."
"A guest?"
Nimesis was slightly startled, but Overwell showed a dazed look after the start. Princess Griffin bit her lip, bent her fingers and tapped on the wooden table and said, "Come out, Mr. Brando, I hope you will fulfill your promise and help us leave this place wholeheartedly."
Brando didn't expect Her Royal Highness to push himself out at this time, but he was only surprised for a moment and soon returned to normal. The two outside seemed to be Princess Griffin's close courtiers. She was willing to let herself appear at this time, which meant that at least Her Royal Highness had agreed with him to be a member of this circle.
He let out a breath, opened the closet door and walked out.
"It's you!" Nimesis raised her eyebrows slightly.
Overwell also raised his eyebrows, but he didn't rush to speak. But Brando is a little embarrassed, why not, the lonely man and the widow are in the same room, and they are still the princess of a country, it is inevitable that outsiders will have some guesses—besides, he did do something that was not so aboveboard, although it was just a spur of the moment. With a guilty conscience, Brando couldn't help but blush.
He couldn't help but laughed and said, "Sir Overwell, we meet again. I heard that you met me before, but it's a pity that you didn't have the chance to meet Mr. Sir before you." He was talking about wolf, of course. It was not the princess who told him about the Jazz secretly following them, but the reminder from the little female dragon. Coupled with some details that the princess inadvertently revealed in the letter later, Brando can guess who he met with just a guess.
In fact, there were only a few around the princess who could move freely. Markaro was still a mercenary leader in the mountains in the southern border at that time, so it was naturally impossible for him to appear in Riddenburg.
Overwell smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Mr. Brando's progress in swordsmanship is really unexpected. I heard that you have approached the field of elements, but I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect the fact to be right in front of me. I believed it. There are indeed geniuses in the world." He complimented Brando, but immediately changed the topic and asked, "But why Mr. Brando appears here at this moment, I want an [answer]. "
"Teacher" Princess Griffin's face was slightly flushed, of course not because of shyness, but because of the nervousness of fear of being exposed: "Mr. Brando has long been my knight, he is my spy, this time I am here Searle is also here to help us in secret. You already knew about this before, but I asked him to come here tonight because he has a ship in his hand, which can be used just in time."
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Brando came to Ambersea on the boat led by Tonigel, right?" The half-elf girl glanced at him.
"When did I have a ship in my hand? I changed my job to be the boss of the ship because of my feelings?" Brando was slightly taken aback. Of course he came by ship, but the ship was an authentic merchant ship. Now that the storm is approaching, no merchant ship dares to go to sea, and the relationship between Tonigel and the major chambers of commerce in Ampersel is not that close. He didn't expect that the princess's lies were well-founded, but he did have a way to get the boat, not by buying or borrowing or renting, but by robbing. The Naga clan is naturally good at doing this, they It's a bandit specialization, it's a pirate.
He thought for a while, quickly cleared his mind, and nodded. Her Royal Highness's rhetoric seems to be flawless, but in fact it has a lot of flaws. Who would have thought that the royal party would be divided internally.
What's more, the news that the Lions launched the war in advance was only delivered to her desk one or two hours ago, and the theory she arranged in advance can easily be self-defeating.
But at this time Overwell's thoughts were still focused on Brando and the boat in his hand. He glanced at Brando, reluctantly accepted what Her Royal Highness said, and then asked: "But even if there is a boat, there is The storm can't go out to sea, so is it possible that Her Royal Highness is planning to cross the Amperesel Strait and enter the Wall of the Dead, but the sea route over there is to pass through the coastal area of Anlek Province, and Grand Duke Anlek will definitely use the navy to intercept us."
"No, no need." Griffin shook his head: "There is a statue of a ship from the time of the ancestor Ike in the collection of the Temple of Anderfleur, which is said to be the goddess Martha made of the teeth of the Sea Demon Whale The statue of the ship, it is said that the ship loaded with this statue can calm the storm."
"That's a good idea." Overwell's eyes lit up. "However, the basement of the Temple of Anderfleur is not so easy to get into."
"I'll ask Magdal for help, as for the candidates to infiltrate the temple." Griffin turned his attention to Brando.
"Me?" Brando was taken aback. He knew the legend of the ship statue, but he didn't know if it was true. Of course it would be great if you could get it...
It's not to deal with the current situation. It's not so troublesome to have the Sea Demon Whale right now, but to prepare for entering the Land of Storms in the future. The Land of Storms is the sea area outside Martha's guarded land in the south of the Ring of Trade Winds.
There is a huge copy inside that can get the seventy-level suit and the task item of recasting the bronze body.
Magical storms are raging all year round outside the Land of Storms, and it is a restricted area for the Naga people. Without the Naga Sea Demon Whale, the only way is to get items that can calm the storm. For example, Holy Water, Breath of Tranquility, Martha's Ship Statue, or a forbidden spell capable of manipulating the weather.
Of course Brando didn't want to cause trouble at this time of year, so he just silently wrote down the information and nodded.
Griffin seemed very satisfied with Brando's attitude, and she couldn't help comforting her: "Don't worry, Mr. Brando, Magdal can move freely in the temple, and it's not too much trouble to enter the basement. Things. Property is not an important thing for saints, but it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. Your task is to meet her and bring things back by the way.
What's more, beside me now, only you can move freely and gain Magdahl's trust. "
Brando thought for a while, and found that what Her Royal Highness said seemed to be true, so he nodded pretendingly, but what he thought in his heart was that he just took the opportunity to connect with Magdal. The nun and princess should be in St. Let's listen to the news in the hall.
