The Amber Sword

Act 18 May, History and Visitors

Most of what happened after Princess Griffin and Brando left the Wood mansion have actually become predictable.

The eldest son of the king re-succeeded as Grand Duke Sifah, which seemed to symbolize another compromise of the royal family to the local area. Such compromises have been repeated in the history of this kingdom. cycle.

History seemed to be repeating itself, but no matter what, at least with the intervention of the Temple of Flame and the comfort of the eldest son Wang himself, the turmoil in the north calmed down again for a while, and became calm.

In private, it was said that some nobles were celebrating a rare victory after the Great War of Ampersel, and the local pandemonium seemed like the kingdom had returned to the days before and after the year of the astrologers. The phenomenon of thieves and thieves in the local area seems to be showing signs of rising again, and the merchants are complaining, but under all these superficial phenomena, hidden changes are going on quietly.

Brando understands that it is impossible for Her Royal Highness to let Prince Levin sit in the north, even if there is a secret agreement between them, even if the other party is her nominal brother. However, there is no room for personal feelings in politics, not to mention that the Temple of Fire does not want to see signs of a split between the north and the south of Aruin—at least until the end of the holy war, the Cruz people hope that this ancient kingdom can maintain its superficial stability. dìng.

It's only on the surface.

In addition to these reasons on the table, there are more direct conflicts of interest that determine this. Because in the north, in addition to the inherent territory of the Sifah family, there is also the territory of the Corkova royal family itself, as well as many areas in Yanbao and Yanilasu. For these complex spheres of influence, the princess party is not big It may be handed over to others.

Therefore, as part of the exchange, Her Royal Highness regained control of the White Lion Army as expected. But maybe the eldest son of the king himself is unwilling to control such an army that is not loyal to him. Since the reappearance of the Lionheart Holy Sword, there has been a loud voice in the White Lion Army that has turned to the princess.

This point is slightly different from history. In another period of history, until Freya completely controlled the White Lion Army, the White Lion Army actually did not really identify with the Royal Party.

But this time, the connection lost the old white lion of the two legion commanders. Obviously he has lost his original vigor.

Bryson, Joko and Enroc, who escaped from death in the battle of Ambersea, were ordered to go to the north to receive this army. The new army leader is the eldest grandson of the king's lion who died in the battle of Ambersea. . But Brando knew that this unlucky guy might not be able to sit in this position for long.

Everyone understands that only one person can lead this army. That was Freya holding the Lionheart Sword.

But now is not the time.

Nimesis also crossed Freya's name from the original list—the reason was that this girl from Butch's countryside needed more training.

This is also Brando's view. In the future, maybe she will have this ability to take charge of a legion. But it's not even close yet. From his point of view, the White Lion Army will have a long period of dormant period. Until the officer corps under Caglis is formed, he will be able to build a white lion infantry that truly reproduces the glory of that era.

At that time, it was the moment for the Valkyrie to play a role.

before that. There are more important tasks waiting for the future Valkyrie to complete.

But compared to these things, some big events that happened on the stage are more attractive to ordinary people. In particular, the People of Silver finally intervened in the investigation of the Battle of Ampersel. At the request of the Buga people and the silver elves, the Temple of Fire had to give up its control over Ampere Sear.

The black hand behind all this is naturally Brando and a certain fairy lady.

A human, a goblin, promoted the most important event that happened between Aruin and Cruz in the Year of the Sword in the eyes of ordinary people. The middle of the month of the new moon. From this day on, this port city will no longer be named in the name of self-government but will exist as a trading port for Aruin.

As soon as this news came out, it shook the entire southern part of the Warnd Continent.

But no matter how the news spreads, there is only one truth that will never change. That is, after centuries of time, this holy white port finally returned to the embrace of his ancient mother.

In the evening of that day, Her Royal Highness made an exception and asked Brando to take her around the outer city wall of the port.

The half-elf princess looked at the edge of the forest and the bay in the distance under the golden clouds soaked in the setting sun. She just watched quietly, without saying a word, her eyes stretched to the end of the sky. The sunlight forms a golden thread there.

She is in the same position as her ancestor Ike was a thousand years ago.

When she was about to go down the tower, the princess said 'thank you' softly to Brando, the voice was so soft and thin. It even made Brando suspect that he was hallucinating.

But no matter what, at least he remembered the sparkling eyes of Her Highness the Princess when she was watching from afar. She must be very proud, otherwise there would be no excitement hidden in those golden eyes that reflected the cloud shadows and shone like gold.

That is not the king of Eruin, but the princess who loves this land the most.

A tumultuous event surrounds the port like a sea. So much so that for a month, all living beings have become superficial shadows that embellish it.

And the trivial things interspersed in these major events have become episodes of adjustment.

For example, Garlock the Strange Seeker's healing. When the kingdom's chief law-wizard, Ampersel's hero of the day, reappeared in front of the public, it caused a sensation in the city. After all, compared to the unknown Brando, Garlock's name was originally a legend in this kingdom.

Ampersel held a one-day carnival that day, so that Her Royal Highness came to make a joke of Brando and asked him if he was jealous.

Brando wasn't jealous at all.

He was more concerned about another thing, that Garlock accepted Antitina as an apprentice as he said before. According to the words of the great mage himself, it would be a pity if he was only willing to be a mortal with such a high talent.

Brando agrees with this.

But he respected Antitina's own opinion more than this. Fortunately, Miss Staff is not dissatisfied, on the contrary, in fact, she has long wanted to learn magic, but after the family bankruptcy, firstly, she has no chance, and secondly, she has no time.

In this way, Antitina nominally became Garlock's only heir.

According to the words of Her Royal Highness—it is very likely to become a future court wizard.

And the third widely circulated incident this month is also related to Garlock. The incident originated from a group of young people's curiosity about the legendary story of how the archmage escaped on the battlefield. But the person involved put on the airs of a master and refused to speak, which aroused everyone's curiosity instead.

Soon an absurd rumor spread among the market—it is said that Garlock narrowly escaped unharmed that day because he hid among a pile of demon corpses.

Indeed, for a court archmage, such an experience was truly embarrassing. So out of some kindness. The port quickly banned the spread of similar rumors.

There was just one time when Brando met the master in the vestibule of the reconstructed Andfule Temple. But I overheard the latter mumbling to himself in despair as he walked: Damn shit, this damn shit!

Time seemed to pass by quickly.

At least for Brando and everyone around him, the time spent in the port of Ampersel seemed to pass by in the midst of all kinds of events.

The gentle moon of the first moon is like sawdust floating in the river, swirling through the fingertips and disappearing from people's vision. The weather started getting hotter day by day. The storm off the coast of Ampersel gradually subsided, and the greenery in the mountains and forests became more and more exciting as time went by, as if the people in the port hadn't noticed the subtle changes around them, and the mountains and forests were already blooming , ushered in the midsummer.

Naga and Silver Elf left Amperesel one after another. The port seemed to become deserted for a while. Brando asked Naga to bring back the gratitude from the Kingdom of Eruin, presumably the Queen Hanlu, who left a great reputation in history, could understand what he meant.

Eruin needs an ally, and so do the Naga under the Sea of ​​Glittering.

But the other thing is that Brando has a toothache. Just as agreed, the silver elves took away their token - the precious ginkgo leaf. This loss was probably the most painful thing for Brando in this war. If it wasn't for saving Her Royal Highness, he would never waste this precious opportunity.

In the last life, a player used this thing to exchange for a whole dragon's lair, and the value of the treasures in it was enough to buy the whole dragon's lair, smash it up and rebuild it again. And Brando used him only in exchange for the title of Earl Tonigel, which was neither fish nor fowl.

Although Her Royal Highness acquiesced that he would attack and let Denel lead, but then again, Aruin's power would be concentrated in the center sooner or later. In this case, he, the de facto lord, will sooner or later be taken back from power.

Brando thought about it, and felt that he was asking for trouble.

But fortunately, the silver elf probably looked at Metisa's face, and didn't cause him too much trouble. On the contrary, he was firmly on his side from the very beginning, and only then did he completely drive the tentacles of the Temple of Flame away from the Port of Ampersel in the shortest possible time. From this point of view. It's worth the price of admission.

But with the departure of the silver elves, officials of all sizes in the port of Amperesel still inevitably felt that all affairs seemed to become easier all of a sudden. The point is that the disputes that often arise due to the differences in habits between humans and silver elves seem to have disappeared without a trace.

After entering the hot summer hazy moon, everything seemed to come to an end. So Brando quickly understood that he was in this port. It seems that there is only one thing left unfinished.

The date is moving forward in an orderly manner.

Just like the date scale marked on an accurate timetable, the expected guests also arrived as scheduled on a sunny afternoon.

It was a letter paper with a silver feather inserted, and it was written in flying fonts on the cover:

Mr. Brando himself.

The same letterhead was also sent to Her Royal Highness's desk.

Buga's envoys have arrived.

...

"Brando, Brando, look at me!"

The brisk voice pierced through the forest, as happy as a child. When Brando looked up, he saw a few beams of sunlight falling from the shade of the trees, falling on the dead leaves and moss to form patchwork spots. Between these criss-crossed rocks, there was a section of dead wood, and the business lady stretched out her hands, and walked staggeringly on it, as if she was very proud of her balance.

Then she jumped off the dead log. Falling in front of Brando and Antitina, he showed off, "How is it, is it great?"

Super powerful, Brando sighed helplessly: "Roman, aren't you tired?" The forest outside the port was sultry and humid. It's like water mist in a steamer. Everyone was sweating profusely. Except for some high-energy guys.

What annoyed him a little was that the fairy lady told him clearly that the wizards of Buga had specially selected a cloudy day with cool weather. Now it seems that either the people of silver have some problems with their understanding of the cloudy sky, or the astrologers of the artisans and wizards are simply unreliable.

Brando looked back. Xi, Freya, Kargolis and even the countess of Yanbao were called by him. The Countess was whispering something with Her Royal Highness in the back, Caglis was with the group of young people from Tonigel as always, Charles and the mercenary group of Tiger Sparrow were guarding the periphery, and only Akane was alone. Sitting under a Populus euphratica tree, she is seriously reading a book with a red cover, and her long ponytail hangs down to the moss.

In fact, Akane's literacy is actually not much. It can only be said that it is far beyond the average mountain people. Of course, you have to know that most of the mountain people are completely illiterate. But since Antitina became her teacher, this mountain girl who doesn't like to talk very much seems to be able to find some quiet pleasure in reading now.

Just reading some knight novels all day long made Brando very worried that she would end up like Roman.

He looked back at our business lady again.

The merchant lady had taken his arm and sat down beside him. Finally, it stopped for a while, which made Brando breathe a sigh of relief. But not long after, there was a rustling sound in the bushes ahead, and everyone raised their heads. I saw Makaro, Overwell, and Earl Odin coming out from behind in a neat suit.

They've obviously only just gotten here.

Marcaro first saw Princess Griffin next to Del Ferry, and was slightly taken aback. He turned back to Brando: "Mr. Brando, what kind of guests are we going to meet today? Why is Her Royal Highness here?" here……?"

They actually got the news the day before. The first thing Marcaro thought of was the dragon clan behind Brando. It was precisely because of the figures of the golden people that might exist behind the princess that the royal party was more firmly tied to the princess' chariot after the war.

Of course, Leawood's death. It also dispelled the misunderstanding between the two parties to a certain extent.

In any case, the chief court wizard of the kingdom was the teacher of Princess Griffin.

But for Marcaro. The last news he got was that the female dragon named Aloz made a fuss in the port one day, and after simulating the scene of the fire dragon attacking the city, it disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought that the terrifying dragon girl had left, but he didn't think so. He insisted stubbornly that the other party was just hiding behind the scenes.

And the young man named Brando, who has an extraordinary relationship with the Dragon Clan, is obviously the biggest help behind the princess.

It's just that he didn't know that the answer to the question he had been insisting on was actually very simple for Brando. After listening to him tell the story of the ring of trade winds, the bad-tempered little dragon loli is said to have gone back to Tonigel to see his "Hall of Valor".

But what they want to meet today is another group of people.

It's just that before Brando answered, the bushes were separated again.

This time, it was an old man in a silver robe who appeared. Seeing Brando, the old man was slightly taken aback, and then a familiar smile appeared.

"Come take a look at today's Eruin for my old friend. Unexpectedly, little friend Brando, we will meet again."

"Fuck!" Brando almost didn't jump up directly. He thought that the people from Buga's side should be Tanya and Turaman. After all, the two of them have a deeper relationship with this kingdom. But he never dreamed that such a character would come.

william pistol.

The world's population called the Silver Storm, the leader wizard of the Silver Alliance.

He turned his head subconsciously, and sure enough, he saw Her Royal Highness, Makaro, and Overwell looked at him very strangely, it felt like looking at some legendary monster.

The meaning in those eyes was very obvious.

"Brando, who the hell are you?"

...
