Act 38 2 Letters III

Brando listened quietly to Test's story before replying: "This is your own fault."

But he was actually very surprised, and then he realized that the Lionheart Sword had such an experience before it came into Freya's hands. When he first met Master Boru under the Fir Castle underground, the Sage Slate suddenly resonated. Now that I think about it, it should have been the Union of All Things that activated the Lion Heart Holy Sword at that time. But they took it too much for granted. The Knight of the Lake guarding the Lion Heart Sword was Krentl, the knight commander beside Ekko. Before he became a heroic spirit, he had a strength that was not inferior to that of Mephistopheles today, let alone After taking the oath of guardianship and being entangled by obsession, the will to fight will only become stronger. If Tester dares to challenge such a monster at a mere gold level, it can only be said that he is seeking his own death.

Otherwise, he knew that the Lion Heart Sword should be buried near the Lake of Mist, why didn't he go directly instead of going through all the troubles to get the Sage's Slate?

But when it came to the legendary knight beside Ekko, he suddenly remembered that the guy who followed Freya like a ghost had appeared less and less recently, which seemed to mean that Lionheart Sword had fully recognized Freya as a Its owner can now only occasionally catch a glimpse of the knight in the courtyard of Fir Castle. The servants in the castle even treat the sudden appearance of the knight as a story about how the castle is haunted.

After hearing Brando's evaluation, Tester did not refute, and replied full of vicissitudes: "Your Excellency, you are right, it is indeed my own fault; now I have even forgotten the original purpose of looking for that sword. I just feel like a complete clown. I have been following that person since I left the Lake of Mist. I feel confused and confused. There seems to be a voice in my heart urging me to do this. I can't think, I can't rest, and I move forward day and night. , I can feel time flying away from me, but I can't resist. I seem to be in an endless nightmare, wandering in the nightmare every moment, like a lonely ghost, in excruciating pain."

"But it seems you're still awake now, right?" Brando looked at him and said.

Test nodded without denying: "When I suddenly woke up today, I felt that I was still near the Lion Heart Sword."

"Can you feel the Lionheart Sword?" Bran was slightly surprised.

"I have no idea."

"you do not know?"

"Now that I see you, Lord Count, of course I know that the Lion Heart Sword is still nearby. Before that, I could only feel a strong inspiration, as if there was a gray and declining world in front of me, above the wilderness. There was only one pale road, and I just followed that road, and here I am."

"But it sounds like you're not unfamiliar with what's going on in the outside world.

"

He was only made an earl after the Battle of Ampelsel, but from Test's tone, it seemed that he had little opportunity to contact the outside world during this period.

"I don't know, but everything surrounding that sword seems to come into my mind naturally." Test replied in a hoarse voice.

Brando raised his eyebrows. It sounded like he had some kind of connection with the Lion Heart Sword, but this connection didn't sound like recognition, but more like some kind of curse. He suddenly remembered a legend. Anyone who is not recognized by this sword and tries to get his hands on this sacred sword will suffer misfortune. The last victim was the last emperor of the Sifah family. After that, the Lion Heart Sword was unknown. Whereabouts, until today it appears again.

However, the other party's state was very similar to those who lost their names. Those who lost their names were those who had lost their faith and themselves. He did not expect that the curse of the Lion Heart Sword could have this effect. Although the members of the All-Union Society are all a bunch of lunatics, their beliefs are still very firm.

He looked at the other person again and asked in confusion: "I think you are not just looking for me to talk about this?"

"Of course, Lord Earl. I think that since the voice brought me here today, there must be some reason. Now I am just seeking relief and don't want to live a life like a walking zombie anymore." Test replied very tiredly .

"You don't seem to have to ask me for this kind of thing."

"Death does not solve the problem," Viscount Teste sighed painfully. He was originally an arrogant person, but now he seems like a half-dead old man: "I have died many times, but it is like a dream. , after the dream disappears, you will appear in another place when you wake up."

"This does sound worse than life." Brando nodded. He had no good impression of these members of the All-Union Society. Although he was not gloating about their misfortunes, there was no need to sympathize with such people. He looked at the other person and continued to ask: "You said you wanted to tell me some secrets about those years. It seems that you want to use this to make a deal with me."

Test nodded.

Brando pondered for a moment. To be honest, he cares about the other party's secrets, but the problem now is that he is not good at curses, especially this kind of curse related to the nameless person, which itself is very dangerous. matter. When he was in the Death Frost Forest, he dared to enter the dream of the nameless person because he had some understanding of the characteristics of that copy. But now to solve the Viscount's troubles, he would have to enter the other party's dream. As long as the other party was a little bit With bad intentions, this trip would be a narrow escape.

If this Lord Viscount were a different person, that would still be a big deal, but he is a believer in the Unity of All Things. Brando was not great enough to take risks for an enemy. He thought for a moment and refused: "Honestly, I don't want to deal with people like you. I can even reach out to the nobles I despise." The Hand of Friendship can also tolerate the arrogance of the Cruz people, but it does not want to be associated with the Union of All Things."

"Yes, we are notorious." Test replied weakly. He frowned and his tone became a little anxious: "I also understand this. This may be a bit difficult for you, sir, to accept, but - ―”

"No," Brando shook his head and interrupted him: "It's not because of this, it's because you are too crazy."

"Crazy? No, sir, some of us are pursuing truth, and some are pursuing power, but they may not necessarily be more despicable than those you deal with." Although Tester's tone was weak, when he said this sentence, he still There was a hint of contempt.

"It's the despicableness of seeking benefits for oneself. Although this kind of despicableness is despicable, at least it won't make people feel uneasy." Brando replied: "No one wants to deal with a madman."

"Stop playing charades with me, Lord Earl, I know you are interested in the secrets I tell you..." Test seemed to hear that Brando was just perfunctory, and couldn't help interrupting the latter anxiously, He said loudly: "Why don't you give me a chance? Give us all a chance. My secret will satisfy you! My lord, it concerns one of your subordinates, a lady who is close to you." safety!"

Brando looked at this half-dead guy, and his heart skipped a beat. The first thing he thought of was Qian. The mountain girl had been missing for a long time. Firland and Lantonilan had almost sent out all their scouts and informants, but No trace of the other party was found. He even asked the Buga people for help because it was related to the Azure Spear, and the latter readily agreed, but so far there has been no news.

He looked at the other person and asked coldly: "What did you say?"

Viscount Tester grabbed the rusty iron gate and stared at Brando fiercely. His face was pale, like a ghost. He stood there for a long moment, as if hesitating whether to tell everything he knew directly. He didn't know if Brando would lie to him, but an obvious anxiety had spread among his expressions. Come: "I don't have much time, Lord Earl. You and I have no complaints in the past. Maybe there was some small misunderstanding at that time, but there is no need for you and me to take such small things to heart. I believe in your character, as long as you Give me a promise and I will tell you the secret."

"Is there any room for bargaining with you like this, Viscount Test?" Brando had a panoramic view of Test's expression, although he was a little curious about what could torture this arrogant Viscount into such a state. Like this, but at this time all his thoughts fell on the mountain girl with the red ponytail, and he had no time to care about why the other party suddenly became anxious.

"My Lord Earl, you are so hard-hearted that you don't even care about the safety of your subordinates!" Tester's face suddenly twisted, and he clung to the iron fence, wailing: "I only want a promise from you!"

"Okay," Brando finally relaxed: "As long as your secret really makes me feel valuable."

Test seemed to be relieved, and he replied with a distorted face: "...Your Majesty, the lady on the staff beside you...ah!" He suddenly widened his eyes and screamed: "No, no! Wait! Wait, wait... Lord Earl, listen to me... ah... the people who went to find Borg Nathan's daughter at that time were McGusk's men... As long as you still care about this, let me Get out... No, don't take me away! Please! Ah..."

Following a shrill wail, Test's voice suddenly turned into a series of horrified roars. At that moment, Brando seemed to feel something passing through the night, and a fluorescent shadow seemed to pass above the river. There seemed to be thousands of troops in the shadow, and Test was dragged directly into it, waiting for him In the blink of an eye, the Viscount who was still in front of him had disappeared without a trace. Only then did Brando react and rushed to the river to take a look. He only saw that the water surface was as calm as ever, without even a trace of unnecessary ripples.

However, he lowered his head and saw a torn gap in the rusty iron fence door, which seemed to prove that the previous scene was not an illusion.

Brando stood by the river, bathing in the cool night breeze, standing there in a daze, feeling a little creepy for a moment. Tester's last wailing words seemed to still echo in his mind - Borg Nathan's daughter - wasn't that Antitina? What did that guy know? He said that Magsk was looking for Antitina. Titina? He also knew Magsk. He was the former leader of the White Wings Cavalry and a senior member of the All-Union Society. He was later found out during the great purge after the Battle of Ampelsel. He had already been there for a long time. He must have been burned at the stake.

But how could these messy things have anything to do with Antitina?

He originally came to Prague just for family matters, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing now, and he almost didn't react for a while. But why did the Union of All Things come to Antitina? He couldn't help but look back at the dilapidated building. In the night, the building looked like a crooked, snarling monster. Reflecting the dim lights in the distance, it looked even more eerie and terrifying. He breathed slightly. He took a breath, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

A moment later, the young man who had left before ran back panting. He saw Brando's gloomy face, which was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Am I back too late, sir?"

Brando didn't answer, just asked: "Did you hear anything before?"

"Voice?" The young man looked confused and shook his head.

Brando took one last look at the iron fence before taking the package from the boy. He opened it and took a look. It was hot bread, bacon, and a few baked potatoes. It didn't look like it was sold in the hotel. The food seemed like this guy brought it from his own home. However, although it was not rich, it was still better than the cold bread he ate while sleeping in the wild. He put away the package and threw another silver coin to the other party as a reward.

The latter looked flattered. Although he was a little frightened at first, for the sake of money, Brando finally became more amiable in his eyes. Brando took a fancy to the local snake's attributes, so he asked him to leave a contact method, and he hired a temporary follower. Naturally, the young man was very willing, and wished Brando could hire him for a longer period of time. On the market, A Thor is almost a week's salary for a skilled craftsman, and Brando's reward is enough to keep him busy for a while. Such a generous employer is not something that can be encountered all the time.

Not to mention the extra money.

After Brando asked the young man to report to him the next day, he took one last look at the quiet surface of the Butchi River that ran through the city, and then returned upstairs. When he returned to the room, he found the two girls sitting at the desk. Freya was reading a thin book under the candlelight. Brando caught a glimpse of the name of the book - "Suliman's Cavalry Notes". ", this book is very famous in Eruin. It is one of the standard cavalry tactics textbooks of Wangli Academy. Although it is a bit old, this girl from the countryside of Butchi will review it whenever she has free time.

He turned his attention to Antitina again. The staff lady was not as strong as him and Freya, and her physique was only about the same as that of ordinary people. After riding for days, she was already exhausted. She was already lying on the desk. It's time to fall asleep. But this staff lady is so stubborn. She is so sleepy that she still doesn't want to go to bed alone. Brando couldn't help but smiled bitterly when he saw this scene and shook his head. He closed the door, walked over and put the food next to Freya. Freya seemed to have noticed Brando's presence, and she ate After being startled, he came back to his senses from the world of books.

Brando quickly silenced her and pointed at Antitina. The latter then realized that the staff lady who had been sitting next to her had fallen asleep, and showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Brando." "More, I was too absorbed in reading, Miss Antitina..." She replied quickly, but Brando waved his hand to her, gently helped the staff lady up, and he held the latter's hand with one hand. With his back, one hand passed through Antitina's knees and hugged her directly. The staff lady was sleeping deeply, her long eyelashes fluttering under the candlelight, as if she was dreaming of some sweet dream. Lando only felt a fragrance belonging to a girl lingering in his nose, and couldn't help being stunned. Freya saw this scene from the side, and she felt a little jealous for some reason, and asked in a low voice: "Brando, you want me?" Can you help?"

Brando hesitated for a moment, then remembered that it seemed more appropriate to ask Freya to come. However, when he saw Antitina lying on the desk and falling asleep so softly, his heart was full of pity. Wanting to protect his unique staff lady, he forgot about this for a while. He paused for a moment, and finally shook his head slightly. He had done everything, but stopping at this time seemed awkward. He walked to the bed, gently put Antitina on it, and then pulled the quilt over her. He raised his head again and glanced at Freya, seeing the latter turning her head slightly.

"You can sleep together too, and I'll keep vigil for you."

"No need, Brando, I'm not sleepy." Freya refused.

She picked up the booklet again and flipped through a few pages, but found that she was so upset that she could no longer read a word. After pausing for a moment, she raised her head and saw that Brando was sitting where Antitina was sitting before. When she looked over, she asked, "Did you hear anything before?"

"Voice?" Freya was about to ask about what happened between him and Miss Antitina, but was stunned by Brando's sudden question. She thought that this guy must be changing the subject. What happened just now? There is some sound. She shook her head: "No."

Brando frowned slightly. Test's last scream was not quiet, at least it spread hundreds of meters along the river, but he also asked the previous boy, and his answer was the same. Same as Freya. This was strange. He knew that there was only one situation that would lead to this situation, and that was that he encountered a hallucination. However, the break on the iron fence door clearly reminded him of everything that had happened before.

He thought of Test's words, and suddenly recalled the patrolling cavalry he and the lame met when they first met Antitina.

At first, I thought those guys were just for blackmail, but now that I think about it, there are many doubts. Although Eruin is rotten, there is a set of rules among the nobles. Antitina is the queen of the nobles no matter what, those The patrolling cavalry will not know this. They want to make some extra money, and there are many better targets. There is really no need to come here and ask for trouble. But combined with what Test said today, it makes more sense. Brando knows that Braggs' patrol cavalry also comes from the White Wings Cavalry Regiment.

In other words, the people I met that day were probably Magesk's men. But if Tester didn't lie, what exactly did the Unity of All Things want from Antitina?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the noble daughter sleeping on the bed like a sleeping princess in a fairy tale, and his heart was full of confusion.

"never mind."

Brando finally shook his head, thinking about things that he couldn't figure out. Antitina was by his side anyway, and if he wanted to cause trouble for her, he would have to ask him whether he agreed first.
