Scene 346 Under the Abyss V

Favorite 【】, to provide you with wonderful novels to read. ()

Through the rainy and misty woodland, Brando met Wood accompanied by Freya. This was the second time he had seen the High Priest of the Temple of Flame since he was in Amperesel. Seeing Mephisto standing next to Wood, Brando quickly saluted: "Teacher."

Although St. Osor taught him the Nine Lights of the Wind, Mephisto also taught him a lot of practical combat skills. In name, they also have the status of teachers and students, and Elf Yujie did not object to this.

Wood glanced at Mephistopheles in a little surprise, "I see, you have accepted a good student."

"indeed."

Brando looked up and saw several Templars in red robes behind the two of them. He couldn't help squinting his eyes into a line, trying to figure out the purpose of Wood's visit. However, Wood made him suffer a big loss in the name of Turaman, and Brando will never forget this lesson.

Seeing Brando's expression, the chief priest of the Temple of Fire smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Mr. Brando has a deep prejudice against me." He suppressed his surprise, and Williams brought ten saints The knights of the Temple, even if the Cornolia fleet was stopped by the Royal Fleet of Eruin, they would not be wiped out immediately, not to mention the help of the White Wing Knights, but what he saw was Cruz who was restrained and dejected People, and the flag of the White Wing Knights thrown into the muddy water.

I don't know if the temple has been too greedy for comfort for a long time, or its enemies are too powerful, Wood looked at the young man in front of him, and felt a deep sense of anxiety in his heart.

"The officiant is well aware of the proverb of the elves, 'Each gets what he does'." Brando replied.

"Hehe," Wood smiled wryly. "So I'm here to taste the bitter fruit I planted at the beginning. But Mr. Brando knows in his heart that this is not a prejudice. The temple always needs a stable Aruin."

"So you chose the nobles in the north?" Brando was aggressive. Even raised his eyebrows. Wood is right, from the standpoint of the Cruz people, but he doesn't need to put himself in the enemy's shoes, he doesn't have such a good heart, "Whether the Cruz people or the Eruin people are descendants of the King of Fire , we must uphold the glory. The royal family of Sifah lost their throne long ago. After the O'Casey brothers and sisters lost the lion heart sword, this matter is well known to the world. Back then, the nobles swore to abdicate Hesse I and Promise that his heirs will no longer covet the throne. Therefore, Eruin has no second heir except Prince Haruze today."

"I admit that the Temple was ill-considered in this matter. Melrose was too determined to go his own way, and I couldn't stop him." Wood replied with a sigh.

This guy, Brando watched Wood put a shit pot on the head of the dead Merros.

Wood is not the same as Williams. He is a typical pragmatist, but the other party said that, it is considered a concession. This made him feel a little alert, because the Temple of Fire compromised almost unnecessary.

He stared at Wood warily.

The chief priest of the Temple of Fire smiled wryly again: "You don't have to doubt it. I am here to ask for peace from Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin on behalf of the Temple of Fire."

"Ah." Freya behind Brando couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Now it's really Brando's turn to be surprised, is it just for the Cornolia fleet. But isn't the face of the empire more important than a local fleet? If the Cruz people really think so, it would be a formidable opponent. But Brando thought of another possibility. "Williams is dead."

"He died?" Wood was taken aback.

"Exactly." Brando nodded. This is an unhideable secret. Besides, Mephisto is on the side, and he is not worried that Cruz will turn his face and deny anyone.

The chief priest of the Temple of Fire fell silent. "This is indeed a trouble," he murmured to himself, "but Williams has a bad temper and aloof personality. It's not unreasonable for him to go his own way and lead to his death in a foreign country."

"What?" Brando almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Brando, I'm afraid that the Cruz people don't have the time to bite people everywhere. Just like the dog that fell into the mud in order to fight for the bone, they can't protect themselves. But we also have a problem, but you can give them some advice now. Conditions." Mephisto finally spoke, and his opening caused the knights behind Wood to glare at him.

"Unable to help themselves?"

"Mr. Brando, I hope the princess will give up her pursuit of the Cornolia fleet," Wood said.

"It's impossible," Brando refused forcefully, but he paused and asked again, "What about the conditions?"

Wood smiled, and sure enough, as he expected, the real mastermind behind the princess' side was this young man. But what made him feel uneasy was that the other party was of the same type as him, and the temple might bleed a lot this time. "We can let the nobles in the north give up Ampersel."

"You mean that we still have to coexist peacefully with these usurpers? After destroying the Cornolia fleet, we can also take advantage of the momentum to go north."

Wood already knew the way people like Brando acted. They must have considered the result before issuing such an order, so he would not threaten the Temple of Fire's revenge with empty words. It would be pointless to do so. He thought about it, and said: "As you said, the Corkova royal family should continue to hold the throne, but there are still many nobles in the north, and it will take time to calm down their suspicions. Eruin's peaceful unification is better than confrontation .”

Brando looked at the high priest of the Temple of Fire in surprise, and he heard his overtones. Wood meant to recognize the orthodoxy of the Corcova royal family, so that the north would have no de facto support , the civil strife in the kingdom will disappear on its own.

But this is too easy. How could the temple compromise so thoroughly? The remaining troops in the north are not without the strength to fight the princess. Even if they fail, the Cruz people can still be stubborn. Or this is another trap, he couldn't help but doubt deeply.

"Mr. Brando, you don't have to suspect another deception this time. I will tell you the reason, and you will understand after listening to it that the reason is actually in Meros."

"Meros?"

"You should know that he killed Princess Magdal."

"No. Wait," Brando suddenly reacted, and he thought of a very scary possibility. "Didn't Princess Magdalen break your secret and be silenced?"

Wood's face was a little ugly. "How could the temple do such a thing, not to mention that she didn't know the temple's plan from the beginning to the end. Williams was transferred from the main hall and asked for reinforcements from the empire. It was just a temporary idea after I read Moros's letter. Nobody knows about it except Moros himself."

"That is to say, what Her Royal Highness broke through is another secret?"

"I'm afraid that's exactly the case," Wood said with a serious face, "Mr. Brando, Moros is probably the lurker who will bring everything back together."

"Ah!" Brando couldn't help shouting. "So you said that you opened the flame door of the Temple of Fire in the port of Ampersel?" He saw that Wood was looking at him seriously, and he knew that there was no need to say anything later.

At that moment Brando felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring on his head.

Things are getting serious.

He finally understood why Wood had come to him for peace. Turns out the whole thing was a huge conspiracy. If Moros was the spy of the All Things Returning to One, then he would have known early on that the Temple of Fire would place the Flame Gate in Amperesel, and maybe he was the one who guided it, because the purpose of all things returning to one is those Door of Flame.

The Flame Gate is a huge teleportation array. The core of the teleportation array specifies the target of the teleportation, but the teleportation array itself has no intelligence, and it can be used to connect to other places as long as it is slightly modified.

For example, the Devil's Lair, the River of Sulfur.

Brando suddenly felt a chill.

Brando. Roman said that she found a trap and she wanted to help you. At the beginning, this was the first sentence Antitina brought to him when they met. He thought she was talking about the Temple's trap. Angry at her childishness, but at this moment he suddenly realized that the merchant lady might have known what she was going to face—she had known the conspiracy he didn't know.

Brando felt extremely uneasy for the first time. He even had the idea that he might lose that lovely person who was not afraid and always stood by his side forever.

Once this thought arises, it is irresistible, making him feel even colder when he stands in the rain. Start with Butch. Brando knew that there was at least one person in this world who would be with him forever. He could pinch her face unscrupulously, calling her a fool, and she would raise eyebrows and eyes at him and play petty temper.

But he will never forget that agreement, what she said to him that night.

"Why don't you go over there?" The business lady seemed to be still sitting on that rock, holding her bag in her hands and putting it on the lap of her leather skirt, and her pair of round-toed leather shoes were swinging back and forth in the air.

"They don't like me."

"Why?"

"My aunt and I are both weirdos in their eyes. Besides, there are girls from ordinary families who want to be businessmen. So it's normal to be unpopular."

"I've never seen them. My aunt has been by my side since I can remember. My aunt said, little Roman, when you grow up, you must repay your aunt well!"

"That's why you want to be a businessman?"

"kindness."

"What a strange idea."

"It doesn't matter--"

From that moment on, he knew that he was deeply in love with that weird girl. Because they have some similar qualities, he might be a weird person in the eyes of others, but both of them have the same pursuit.

She wants to become a big businessman, and he wants to save Aruin in his heart. These are weird goals that ordinary people can't imagine, but it doesn't matter——

Just make an agreement.

"Brando, Roman she..." Freya also realized that this simple-minded girl from the countryside of Butch worried about her best partner even earlier than Brando.

But Brando gave her a reassuring look, although his heart was also chilling, "Master Wood, do you guess that the reunion of all things will be able to control those flame doors?" He still had the last chance to ask.

"Mr. Brando, there is no need to guess. We lost them just before we came here. The reunification of all things will connect them to the underground of Qiao Gendigang. You should know where that is."

"The River of Sulfur." ​​Brando gritted his teeth and replied. "So what should I do, order to stop chasing the Cornolia fleet, and then turn around and fight the demons of Jorgendigan, here, in the land of Aruin?" He couldn't help but curse, "Look at you What a good job you did, Cruz's bastard! What a shit Temple of Fire!"

This was the first time Freya saw Brando get so angry, her face turned pale with fright. The last time was in Riddenburg, but she was not there.

"Good scolding," Mephistopheles replied, "that's a little bit manly."

Wood was speechless. It was an indisputable fact that the Temple of Fire—even the Four Great Temples had been infiltrated by cultists. It's just that the situation has never exceeded their expectations like today, and this time the Temple of Fire really lost a big face. Even bigger than Cruz's fleet being defeated by Brando. "We will fight side by side with you." That's all he could say.

Brando snorted lightly, he didn't trust these Cruz people at all. If he had known that Moros was the lurker of All Things Returning to One, then he might have guessed the other party's plan the moment he saw those portals. It's a pity that Moros missed this opportunity in history. There was no big war in Amperesel, and the Cruz people didn't build the Flame Gate in Aruin until after his tenure.

Later, Moros returned to Cruz, and Brando also went north to St. Osor and Faenzan, and then some news about the Temple of Fire gradually faded from his memory.

And he never missed the opportunity to identify Moros.

"Okay," Brando finally said: "I will persuade Her Royal Highness to give up the pursuit of the Cornolia fleet, but you must also persuade the Northern Alliance to join our camp. If the situation is allowed to develop, there will be no danger near Amperesel." What kind of situation will happen, the dean of the priest knows better than me."

He pointed to Wood again and said, "I hope the priest will remember what he said today, otherwise you will regret your previous words and deeds."

Brando's heart was burning with anger, but now he was only worried about the safety of the merchant lady. If Roman had a little damage in Ambethel, he would definitely make the Temple of Fire pay for it.

This is by no means empty-handed intimidation.

When he turned around, Wood vaguely heard Brando muttering, "I hope that the number of demon armies sent over will not be too many when all things are united."

Does this young man seem to know too much?
