Act 12 Brother and Sister I

"This is the crystal cluster?"

Princess Griffin saw Brando turn over the gray-robed man's body, and a piece of amethyst-colored skin was exposed under the cut-off robe. She looked up silently, and saw the fractured image of the corpse's neck. Like broken glass, the whole crystallized without a trace of blood oozing out.

"This is the crystal cluster," Brando stayed by the corpse for a while before answering: "The living creatures in some magic crystals are affected by the magic moon and twisted to form a monster. This monster is not Common, occasionally found in magic crystal veins and crystal forests."

"But it looks like a humanoid creature," Princess Griffin looked at the corpse quietly, "Also, what does this have to do with it? Mr. Brando, do you know what happened to Yanbao ?” She stood outside the door, not wanting to be stained with the blood everywhere in the house—although the corpse of the beast had already been dragged out for disposal, the countess claimed to the soldiers of the Harbor Guard that it was an Ampersel fleeing during the war The demon attacked his elder brother, and let the soldiers see the body of the gray-robed man. When the people present saw the tragic scene of Aker, they felt sorry for him. Happenings happen in the port from time to time, so no one suspects anything for a while.

"He was human before his death." Brando replied without turning his head. He picked up a crystal shard, "It's just the crystal disease that turned him into this."

"Crystal disease?" Princess Griffin raised her head slightly and looked at him with beautiful silver eyes.

"When I was learning the knowledge on the scroll, I saw such a case. Some creatures living in the crystal veins gradually went crazy, grew crystals on them, became crazy and started attacking humans." Brando stared at that Crystal chip, the flowing light cast a long and narrow spot on his face: "This is the earliest case of crystallization disease, which occurred in the wilderness of the four realms."

"That sounds like demonization." The princess replied with a frown.

"This is demonization," Brando nodded, but sighed again: "Because the magic power in crystal veins is enriched, it is easier to cause magic erosion. But crystallization is very special. No one knows why there are crystals. The existence of clusters of creatures, theoretically speaking, the existence of any species in Vunde has its continuation, only the history of clusters is blank. There are also some studies on them, but we still don't know what is in it The background exists."

Her Majesty took it for granted that 'we' was referring to the Black Tower Wizard, but in fact Brando subconsciously used the player's pronoun. In the sword of amber, the play party has of course investigated the crystal cluster in depth, but as Brando said. All the investigations continued until before the era of the lost glory, and then came to a screeching halt

Some people think that there is a huge secret hidden in the crystal clusters, but more experienced players assert that-until the official further reveals the history before the era of lost glory, the origin of the crystal clusters can only be a mystery. But it is not easy to trace the history before the era of lost glory,

A major source of information for players is actually Buga's library, but the history before the era of lost glory is also elusive knowledge for Buga's wizards.

Where did the clusters come from?

Brando doesn't actually care about this, he only cares about why they suddenly appeared in Aruin. There is no relevant record in history at all, and the history of the north seems to be undergoing some changes, and it seems that it has begun to depart from the track of his cognition.

After listening to Brando's answer. Princess Griffin was also silent for a while. But after a while, she asked again: "But Del Ferry also said that there is no Crystal Forest near Yanbao."

"So that's what I'm wondering about," Brando replied. …,

Princess Griffin frowned anxiously. She looked at Brando: "Why do you say that."

"Because I found similar marks on Aker's body. Some crystals grew on the back of his neck, but others didn't notice it under the blood stains." Brando turned his head and looked at him . He replied with certainty: "This can also explain why this guy suddenly became so insane. Dark magic power will amplify the evil in people's hearts. This is not an isolated case. There must be a crystallization disease spreading near Yanbao. Maybe Baron Dale It's also corrupted."

The princess frowned even deeper: "Why did this happen? What do you think will happen to Yanbao? What should we do?"

"It's definitely not a good thing. And there's nothing to do for the time being. We can only keep it a secret from Miss Del Ferry, at least until we finish solving the troubles in the north. Your Majesty, you also understand the distance from Yanbao to Amperesel. We don't want to Maybe he doesn't have the ability to intervene in everything in Yanbao," Brando didn't choose to express all the uneasiness in his heart. Because some things are just a guess for him, not to mention that he has no way to explain his vision of the future.

He paused for a moment, and just reminded: "Besides, Your Majesty doesn't want any accidents to happen to Delferry."

Princess Griffin sighed faintly: "Dilferry was my best friend when I was young. She treated me with no other scheming, and I always treated her like my sister. But when things came to an end, I She can't help her at all, and if something happens to the Earl, she will be heartbroken. I met the Earl of Yanbao once when I was a child, and he is a competent father, Deerfery must love him."

The tone of the half-elf girl was a little weak, and Brando knew that she was thinking of her father. In history, King Oberg VII loved his daughter very much. It can be said that Princess Griffin once had a happy family. . But before he could think of any words to comfort the princess, the latter had already become firm. Princess Griffin took a breath and replied:

"We have to quickly resolve the chaos in the north, Mr. Brando."

Brando was slightly taken aback, probably because he didn't expect the princess to recover so quickly; in fact, he is not good at politics, but fortunately this is a 'historical issue', he thought for a while before saying: "Princess Now, the key to solving the chaos in the north lies not with us, but with the Saint of Flame. The Saint of Flame hopes to put pressure on us through the nobles in the north, but presumably the Cruz people are obviously not happy to see a war at the moment. It's just another game between the two sides."

Princess Griffin narrowed her eyes slightly, and she looked extraordinarily charming in this way, but a cold light in the narrowed eyes showed a certain understanding in the princess's heart. Of course she understood this, but what annoyed her was that the Saint of Flame was obviously playing with fire, and the nobles in the north were not a dog raised by the Cruz people, on the contrary. They are a pack of wolves. These short-sighted beasts may disrupt the balance of power for the slightest benefit at any time. The Cruz people arrogantly think that they can control everything, but in fact they can't control anyone.

But she had to worry about it.

Endless compromises are impossible, and Brando assured her that she would never make any concessions to the northern nobles this time, which was actually the princess' own idea. First integrate the forces close to the Corkova royal family in the south, and then force the entire north to bow its head with the momentum of thunder.

But what kind of price should be paid to get Sheng to support her? Those hateful Cruz people obviously need Aruin's stability. But they still want the greater good.

Since the Ampere Sear War, she has been trying to limit the influence of the Saint in Aruin. This is actually a concept of Brando, but the Saint of Flame is obviously aware of this. …,

She didn't want to compromise on that.

But Princess Griffin suddenly remembered something, she raised her head and said to Brando: "Mr. Brando, can you wait for me here for a while?"

"What's wrong?" Brando said in a daze.

"Help me deal with the matter here," Her Majesty replied, "I want Earl Yanilasu to investigate this matter. Yanbao is on the edge of his territory, and he can definitely think of a way."

This is a way. But Brando always felt that the princess was hiding something. But before he could ask, the princess had already gone downstairs. Brando looked at the corpse at his feet, but had no choice but to check the gray-robed man's relics. Including some odds and ends, but no objects that can prove the identity of the other party were found.

He straightened up, and then heard a familiar voice—it should be the sound of Del Ferry's wheelchair. He turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the maid pushing the countess to appear at the door.

"Send those people away?" Brando put down the bits and pieces in his hands, and gave her a strange look. He couldn't imagine how much it would hit the countess after experiencing such a thing, but he would probably stay in the future film.

Del Ferry nodded. The Hong Kong Guards were easy to dismiss. After all, all the nobles present were present. And there is a princess of the kingdom. Her statement is convincing, the evidence is all there, and the devil has been active in the port of Ampersel recently, and no one has raised any doubts.

After all, no one can say whether there is a crystal-like existence among demons, anyway, it must not be human beings.

"I knew that Akelta was notorious. But I didn't expect him to be so crazy. Nia just told me something, and I blamed me for not protecting her well." Delphiri sighed with guilt.

Brando more or less guessed something. When the female knight made the request before, he actually guessed that there might be a festival in it.

But this is someone else's housework after all, so he could only nod awkwardly.

"But Mr. Brando. I know very well what Acker and Baron Dalle are, and I am very worried about my lord father, even though Your Majesty said that..." Deilferry asked again with some concern. Obviously, she was most concerned about this issue.

Although Princess Griffin comforted her with her attitude about the saint, the countess was not an idiot. After thinking about it, she felt that Brando's guess was closer to possibility. Otherwise, her brother would not have appeared in Ampere Sear. After all, Yanbao is still a certain distance from this port. Based on the time when her brother set off, the war in Ampere Seale should not have happened at that time, let alone the current situation. These rumours.

Brando looked at her and sighed: "Dilphy—"

"You're going to lie to me again, aren't you?" Delferry stared at Brando and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Brando."

"I..." Brando was embarrassed for a while, thinking what it means that I'm going to lie to you again. But after thinking about it, he really couldn't be sure if he had lied before. After all, his own life history was a big lie, not to mention that it seemed impossible for him to tell the truth when he invaded the young lady's manor.

He thought for a while and replied, "Dilferry, can I call you that? Regarding your father's situation, I actually have some analysis. I don't know if you would like to listen."

"Of course." The Countess nodded softly, not knowing which question she was answering: "You just say it's okay, Mr. Brando."

"It's very likely that something happened to your father," Brando replied.

Del Ferry gave a soft ah, and Brando saw her grasping the armrest of the wheelchair, her hands turned white from excessive force.

"You want to return to the territory immediately?" Brando asked. …,

"Of course," Del Ferry took a breath and replied, "Mr. Brando, let me ask your family, your father is in danger, will you remain unmoved?"

Brando shook his head: "Of course I won't, but I don't recommend you go back."

"Why?"

"It's very simple. Your father's possible situation now is either imprisoned or killed." Brando saw Delferry's complexion getting worse and worse, and hurriedly continued: "In the first case, Once you return to the territory, your father will lose the value of existence."

"As for the second case, do you think you can avenge your father when you return to the territory in your current physical condition? It's nothing more than adding a spoil to your uncle."

After Brando finished speaking, he stared at the countess, for fear that the other party would not be able to accept it and suddenly fainted. However, Del Ferry showed extraordinary strength. After a while, she replied: "If I die, can Mr. Brando avenge me?"

"Of course it will," but Brando shook his head again: "But what's the point of that? If you think revenge can solve the problem, why don't you take revenge yourself?"

"Revenge yourself?" Del Ferry was slightly taken aback, and then became excited: "Can I? Can I take revenge myself now? Mr. Brando, do you have any ideas?"

Brando nodded: "Dilferry, you are just overdrawn. Your current physical condition is not irreversible. Besides, the Earl is not necessarily killed, but as long as you live for a day, he has a chance to be rescued." .”

The countess fell silent.

Brando saw her take a light breath: "I see, can you give me a moment to think about it, Mr. Brando?"

"Anytime," Brando replied: "But I also want to tell you, Countess, whether you agree or not, I will not let you go back to Yanbao alone. Please believe me, I It is responsible for the heroes of the port of Ampersel."

"Mr. Brando, you..." Del Ferry couldn't help crying and laughing: "Thank you, Mr. Brando, you are too much."

"I've been going too far." Brando replied without blushing.

And at this time, he saw Princess Griffin walking back from the outside. The princess seemed to have finished sending the message. She glanced at the two of them. Although she had heard the conversation between the two before, she didn't express any opinion. Instead, she only said to Brando:

"Mr. Brando, can you accompany me to meet someone?"

"Meet someone, now?"

The princess nodded.

Brando was stunned for a moment, he vaguely guessed that the person the princess wanted him to meet might be related to the breakup in the north. Right now, only this matter can mobilize the mind of the princess, and only by solving the chaos in the north, whether it is Yanbao or the future of this kingdom, everything can be solved easily.

"Who?" he asked.

"Master Wood."

(PS: All of a sudden, Kawen's card exploded, and I felt a lot of clues. It took more than a day to finally sort out some ideas. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Kawen is really the same as my aunt. God, it's so annoying...) (to be continued)
