Scene 4 The Belonging of the White Lion

Even for today's Eruin, the White Lions are still a powerful force. This was proved by the Marquis Baltar's use of it in the Year of the Dawn to slay Torquinen's lion-men. But it can only satisfy the aristocratic complacency, what he wants is a lion with sharp claws and full beard and hair.

He pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I'm not suitable for this position right now."

The princess looked back at him in surprise. Brando's tightly locked brows slowly unfolded, and his expression slowly turned into a firm determination. "Why?" she asked suspiciously.

"Hmm... Her Royal Highness, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?" Brando raised his head, and there was a touch of blue in the sky of Amperesel's far sea, which was just a sign before the next storm. The air was filled with the smell of the sea, and he and Her Royal Highness walked towards the holy white square. The half-elf princess was only a little higher than his shoulders, wearing a long silver dress, and the thin satin was as close to the white porcelain. Her delicate skin, and the skirt folded like huge petals perfectly set off the slenderness of the elves.

"The truth, Mr. Brando." The princess's tone did not sound displeased.

"Well, to tell the truth, since the first emperor bestowed the sword on Klenter Melbellen, the White Lion Army has been the sharpest sword in the kingdom for centuries. It is legally possible to obtain this army Inheritance is of course a good thing for us. But Her Royal Highness also understands that Sir Nevind, Valen Leleda and the 'Left Handed General' may not accept a stranger as the new head of the White Lion Army , Right?" Brando was talking about the two remaining leaders of the White Lion Legion, Sharp Claw and Lion Mane, and the leader of the Knights of the White Lion Blade.

The difference between today's White Lions Legion and Ike's era is that there is no Imperial Guard Legion. It was replaced by the new Guards after the glorious return of the previous era, and later became the predecessor of today's Black Blade Legion. As for the White Lion Legion, there are still three guards, Sharp Claw, Lion's Mane, and Jude, and a Knight of the White Lion Blade. Among them, the Jude Guard is led by the Marquis of Baltar. All are eligible to succeed the legion commander.

The princess disagreed: "This is the legacy of the old leader Laird. Nicholas and Knight Stephen of the Temple of Fire can both testify, and they cannot object."

"But that's the white lion that Her Royal Highness wants? A sharp sword that is only submissive on the surface. How is it different from those guys in the north who plot evil? No matter who compromises with whom, it is meaningless. What we want is a truly loyal lion. The ideal white lion in the kingdom." Brando replied, and Her Royal Highness fell silent.

Brando could understand the uneasiness in the half-elf princess's heart at the moment. The quarrelsome northern nobles may break the calm at any time. Turn the situation in the north into a pot of porridge - but the key is how much time Aruin has under the threat of war surrounded by powerful enemies. The serious consequences of the Ampersel War undoubtedly magnified this worry.

It would be great if we can still fight for two to three years of peace,

No. Just two years is enough. In Brando's memory, there are still five years to go before the Second Black Rose War, and seventeen years to go before the long night falls, and the days when wolves run on the earth. After that, Vaughn will never have peace.

But before that, there is still a war waiting for Aruin in the north. If he can't appease the nobles in the north as soon as possible, what will he do to deal with the golden-maned lion man of Torquening, Brando is also very headache. Compromise is absolutely unacceptable, the history in another world is still vivid in his memory, he really wants to kill all these damned guys with one sword. He couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

"So, does Mr. Brando have a better candidate?" The two walked to the carriage, and the princess stopped and looked back at him and asked.

"There is one, the daughter of the Earth Knight Everton."

"Freya?" The princess' voice sounded slightly surprised.

"Yes, Freya. Your Royal Highness. She is very suitable both in terms of origin and background, and she also participated in this war. She once fought side by side with the Marquis of Balta and won the favor of many people in the White Lion Army. More importantly What's more, Lionheart Sword agreed with her, which seems to be the preference of Xianjun Eke. Maybe we should respect the choice of Lionheart Sword." Brando said slowly, there are actually some of them are his The news I heard from Antitina.

Her Royal Highness listened silently, and finally said: "Mr. Brando, I don't want to hide from you. Your thoughts coincide with a person I know well. She also recommended Freya to me to replace Barr. The position of the Marquis of Tower."

"oh?"

Brando was a little curious. In fact, he had already had a plan in mind to let Freya lead the White Lions forward, because who else could compare with this historical student of Laird, later the head of the White Lions, and Aruin? Is the Valkyrie more suitable for this position?

But this reason obviously does not convince others. The current Freya is just an unknown country girl from the countryside of Butcher, maybe she is the daughter of the Earth Knight Everton, but this secret is not known to most people, not to mention her talent, she Nor is it the most outstanding one in this period of Wangli Knight Academy.

So who will recommend this future Valkyrie?

"Nemesis," the princess told him, "you should have met her, she is the person I trust the most, she can be called my best friend."

is her.

The curiosity in Brando's heart deepened more and more. The position of the head of the White Lion Army was never an inconspicuous position. Then how did that female knight named Nimesis fall in love with Freya?

After all, not everyone in this world has eyes that can see through the future like him.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think of the intersection with the female knight in the rain. That cold woman whose name he had never heard of in history had almost the same appearance as his senior sister, but her personality was completely different.

He couldn't help frowning, with a hint of doubt, he said: "I don't know what Ms. Nimesis thinks, but I really can't find anyone who is more suitable for this position than Freya, Your Highness. The core of the problem is still the Lionheart Sword. The White Lion Legion is also determined to find this holy sword in order to re-realize the value of the White Lion. Coupled with the legacy of Knight Laird, their senior management must not have any objections .”

"Besides, on the other hand, the daughter of an unknown earth knight, Everton, may be less of a threat to the three of them. In any case, I am also a knight by Her Royal Highness's side."

The princess nodded slightly, as if she accepted the suggestion, "And then?" She asked softly.

"I plan to let Freya and Carlo lead the team. Make the Wangli Knight Academy a base to supply new blood for the White Lion Army. The White Lion Army also needs a group of outstanding young people to support its future, which is different from the Wangli Knight Academy. The philosophy of the college coincides with each other. What's more, for those young people, the White Lions are better than the guards. Isn't it a better destination?" Brando continued to answer. His purpose is actually very simple. What he wants is a brand new White Lion Army, so infiltration and transformation are inevitable. He has no hands on his hands. But Wangli Knight Academy is a very good choice.

The half-elf princess frowned delicately, as if she heard Brando's overtones. "But is this really possible? Will it cause a backlash from the White Lions?" She asked softly in a pleasant voice.

"Of course," Brando was not shy. But at least boiling frogs in warm water has such an advantage, that is, it will not intensify conflicts at the beginning. Now it is actually a compromise between the two parties. The other party has no reason to completely reject them, but there is no way for him and Her Royal Highness to completely control the White Lion Army all at once.

Neither of the two parties must have intended to push the other party to a dead end. At this time, if the other party thought that he and Her Royal Highness were trying to control the future, the other party might just laugh at their naivety.

But to laugh is to laugh.

Brando continued to explain: "But if we can complete the unification of the South in a short period of time, then even if the White Lions are proud. So what?"

The half-elf princess took a light breath: "Mr. Brando, your statement is quite different from what I heard. But for some reason, I am more inclined to trust your opinion, but we can complete the unification of the South in a short time ?"

Brando saw the puzzlement in the silver eyes of the half-elf princess, and it wasn't aimed at him. But for this statement. He replied truthfully: "If the nobles in the north don't cause trouble for us, we have a chance."

He wasn't lying. The highland knight seemed to have a good impression of the princess because of his status. The Duke of Viero and the Duke of Golan-Elsen are obviously not keen on the struggle for power and profit, and they are forces that can be won. In fact, their enemies in the south are only Count Jean Denell and the missing Grand Duke Anleke, not to mention that Count Jean Denell himself has a deep hatred with Duke Viero.

Only in this way, the problem returns to the original point. "Does Mr. Brando think that the nobles in the north will give us this chance?" Her Royal Highness asked again. It's not that she doesn't understand, it's just that everything looks like a deadlock.

Will the northern nobles give them this chance? The answer to this question sounds like a matter of course, of course not, those plotters are eager to mess up the situation.

But Brando pondered for a moment, but gave a completely opposite answer: "I think there will be a chance."

The princess looked at him curiously.

What Brando thought of was what the Cruz people and Turaman had said to him before, maybe Wood would really surprise him. In any case, the key to breaking the situation in the north is the attitude of the Temple of Fire.

"The Temple of Fire may not want Aruin to be caught in a melee. Your Royal Highness, we just have to wait and see. This time, the Cruz people will give us a satisfactory answer."

"But I don't want to compromise with them, you understand that, Mr. Brando."

"We will not compromise with anyone, Your Royal Highness."

Unlike Princess Griffin, Brando actually didn't have much tension and anxiety in his heart. Because in his view, the most difficult and difficult time seems to be like yesterday, the darkest period of history has passed, and the future will only get better and better.

And he just needs to identify that goal and go on with determination.

The princess was taken aback for a moment, but as if she understood, she looked at Brando brilliantly. Brando nodded slightly to her - some things are so simple, it's just that people get stuck in it and extricate themselves. Even at the princess' weakest moment, the Temple of Fire didn't take advantage of her at all. Could it be that the Cruz people are still trying to make them bow their heads?

The situation has actually been reversed.

A faint smile appeared on Princess Griffin's face, and she let out a light breath. Turning around, he invited with the jumping, crisp voice that is unique to elves:

"The weather is good today, Mr. Brando, would you like to take a walk with me? I want to see the rebuilt Port of Ampersell."

Brando was taken aback.

He felt that those beautiful silver eyes were looking at him, and the goodwill in them was self-evident. But he encountered a difficulty. On the one hand, it was an invitation from Her Royal Highness, and on the other hand, it was an equally important arrangement for him.

Before coming out, Brando checked his experience gained from this war. The harvest can be said to be very rich, especially in the final battle, almost all the experience of the Titan that Roman killed was counted on him. But the only problem is that these experiences are currently all a dull gray.

This only represents one situation.

That is, the experience has reached the upper limit of elemental civilization. Next is a process that he is very familiar with, the task of civilizing elements.

In fact, the time is just right, and the Ampersel war is like an important node for Brando. After the war, everything was on the right track. As long as the situation in the north was calmed down, he would have time to complete this series of civilizing element tasks.

But there's just one problem.

That is, all of his equipment is now in a state of damage. He can't wear a whiteboard to complete the task, right? However, repairing equipment—especially repairing magic equipment is a time-consuming task in the game, and he had to prepare as soon as possible.

Princess Griffin seemed to see his hesitation and asked, "Is there any question?"

"Well, I want to go to the workshop area first." Brando replied with some embarrassment.

"So that's it," the princess seemed to understand, she thought for a moment: "Does Mr. Brando know about the most famous weapons and armor shop in Ambersea?"

Lucetia weapons and armor shop.

The name immediately appeared in Brando's mind. The most famous weapons and armor workshop in Ampersel was opened neither by the dwarves who are best at forging steel, nor by those elves who are good at magical arts.

It's a shop opened by a goblin.

This shop is very famous in the game, but it is not exclusively open to players, but to nobles. There are only a few players with prominent status who have enough reputation to enter it, but Brando, who has been dealing with skeletons all day, is obviously not one of them.

He raised his head, thinking that Her Royal Highness would want to go with him to the clanging workshop area filled with smoke all day long?

But Princess Griffin replied in a pleasant voice: "Please get in the car, Mr. Brando."

"Timis, let the carriage go to the 'Lusetia Weapon and Armor Shop'."

Before Brando could react, he saw the female officer in front of him personally open the door of the carriage for him... It's a bit slow to write...
