The Amber Sword

Act 46 2 Letters XI

Freya's eyes were still a little red. She went to see the cemetery of Aunt and Uncle Sil. This cemetery was in an open space in the forest. It was simply filled with wooden tombstones. Most of the tombs did not have real tombstones. The owner just wants to comfort the souls who died in the war. In the square, the patrolling cavalry squatted there neatly, being looked after by Butchi's young men, but no one troubled them, and even the injured were taken care of.

Brando and Madden stood together and were talking. The old man also came after hearing the news, but he didn't expect to meet him and Freya. This veteran of the November War and Buchi's old police captain was obviously very pleased with the growth of Brando and Freya, especially the current identities and status of Brando and Freya, which made him see Buchi The hope of the Qi people. In fact, I have to say that this old soldier has a certain understanding of the noble temperament of Eruin. It is indeed not a trouble for today's Freya to change the situation of the Butchi people, and it does not even require trouble. When Brando uses Tony Gelber's identity, even her own status as knight captain of the Royal Knights is not something that Count Nagin is willing to offend for a piece of forest.

This may sound a bit sad. For the Butchi people, this is a matter of life and death, but for Count Nagin, it is just a matter of face. As a noble, of course he is not willing to let a group of refugees oppress him, but if this Behind the group of refugees, there is a close minister next to the princess looking after them, which is naturally different. Freya doesn't even need to remind her personally. As long as this Valkyrie, whose reputation is rising day by day, reveals her Butch origin, Earl Nagin will automatically withdraw his proposal in the House of Nobles.

News of the fight between the patrolling cavalry and the Butchis soon spread like wildfire.

This is not a trivial matter. The Bucci people knew clearly that it represented the views of the nobles in Prague. Many people came after hearing the news worriedly. They still didn’t know what happened. Whether the House of Nobles had already Come to the conclusion that we should drive them away? The crowd quickly gathered, spreading various rumors. Most people generally had a generally sad and angry mentality. No one spoke or shouted. The scene was very depressing because no one knew what to do next. No matter what, only the anger was silently building up in the silence. The patrolling cavalry in the open space looked at this scene with fear, and then they realized how much trouble they had caused.

Fortunately, Freya personally intervened to persuade them - as Brando said, after all, she is the daughter of the Butch people, and she once led the refugees from Lidenburg with Brando to break out of the siege. Many people Everyone recognized her, and when they knew that the Buchi man's daughter had become famous today - although they were still a little doubtful, they at least felt a little relieved and no longer seemed so restless.

Brando looked at this scene and felt a little relieved. Historically, in the Frost Moon of the Year of the Swift, the conflict between the Bragg nobles and the refugees completely intensified for three years. When the nobles began to expel the refugees, the intolerable Buch people broke out overnight. , followed by riots that swept the entire Prague area, and many people died in the disaster. After that, the situation of the Butchi people worsened under the dual pressure of the locals and nobles, and Golan-Elson became energetic as a result. hurt,

But the more serious disaster was that a kind of cold suspicion took root in this area, which caused the kingdom to completely lose its prestige in this area.

But today, it looks like this disaster at least won't happen again -

But when Freya returned to Brando, she seemed a little depressed. "Brando, this is a little different from what I imagined." She replied softly.

"Remember what I said to you? One day, you can rely on your own strength to protect Butchi, so that the Butchi people can control their own destiny without being at the mercy of the nobles." Brando seemed to understand what she was thinking. He thought and said with relief: "You have accomplished this today. All this proves that your efforts have not been in vain. You set a goal for yourself and finally fulfilled your promise."

"But……"

"But what?"

"But I can't help but think, what would have happened if I didn't have the status I have today? Brando, how much I want the Butchi people to be able to control their own destiny, but - the power to determine everyone's destiny is just from The nobles have been transferred to my hands. They may be able to live a peaceful life from now on, but even they themselves are not aware of this. If one day I want to push them into the pit of fire, everything will happen again. Freya replied quietly.

"My boy, you wouldn't do that, would you?" Madden replied.

"I know, but..."

The old man seemed to know what Freya was going to say, and interrupted her: "These are the rules of the nobles. If you are among them, you must abide by these rules. You have done enough, my child."

Freya pursed her lips tightly, intending to refute, but she didn't know how to speak. She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know where the problem was. Uncle Madden didn't seem to be wrong, but she She felt very frustrated, as if after working hard, she didn't get the results she wanted; but she had a vague feeling that if there was someone here who could answer her doubts, then that person must be Brando .

Just like every time she was confused, she still looked at Brando immediately.

"Captain Madden is indeed right, Freya," Brando replied calmly, as if this question had never been a problem to him: "Under the rules of our time, this is already the most Good idea."

Brando's words were like a flame that illuminated the darkness and haze in Freya's heart. She reacted immediately, raised her head suddenly, and asked: "Brando, you mean, the rules - Can it be changed?"

Brando smiled at her: "Isn't this what we have been doing all along? I, you, Her Royal Highness, and everyone are looking for the way forward."

Freya opened her mouth slightly.

Madden seemed to hear a hint of it, and couldn't help but look at this young man whom he had only come into contact with twice during the Black Rose War. He felt that he saw more of the other person each time, but each time he got more. Much surprise.

Brando replied softly: "So Freya, you must not belittle yourself. You must know that what you are doing is far more glorious and glorious than you imagine. Your origin and qualifications are in this world In front of ideals and beliefs, they are like a grain of sand, not worth mentioning at all. Those who ridicule you and ridicule you have no idea what you are thinking, because they cannot imagine the ancient glory of Eruin - this It is the great deeds of ordinary people, just like the oath the late king swore in front of his sword.”

"Young man," Madden said after listening for a while, "do you believe this?"

Brando nodded: "I am sure, because I know that many people have sacrificed everything for this. Until now, there are many people who have fought for this belief and ideal. I dare not say whether it will definitely happen." Success or failure, but at least I understand that I won’t let it stop halfway.”

He turned back again and said to Freya: "Freya, do you still remember what you once said? You swore an oath to fight for an independent destiny for the Butchi people, so that everyone who pursues happiness and beauty can There will be a day when people can no longer be manipulated by others, do you still remember what I said to you that day?"

"I remember," Freya nodded vigorously, as if the haze that troubled her heart was just a thin veil of mist, which had long since disappeared with a gentle blow. She replied like a vow: "Brando, I understand, I will continue to persevere, even if I shed all my blood one day, I will never regret it. Brando, do you believe me, I will definitely do it" Arrived."

"You did it, silly girl." Brando heard Freya say that even if she shed all her blood, she would never give up. In the history of Eruin, this Valkyrie indeed shed her blood for this ancient kingdom. Used the last drop of blood.

Eruin's ancient glory was a scene described in the legend. Madden did not dare to imagine it, but he would not easily criticize the young man's passion and impulsiveness. In any case, as long as the Buqi people can live better tomorrow than today, it is enough for him. He has seen too many illusory things. He is getting older and no longer easily believes in the so-called beautiful visions. , thinking that it was just a delusion; but he at least understood that Freya was a good girl and would never push the Butch people into the fire pit, and that was enough.

Butchi, who has experienced war and pain, only hopes to return to the peaceful life of the past.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but the patrol cavalry did not dare to act rashly. After a while, these young people finally figured out the identities of the two people in front of them - so they did not dare to act rashly anymore, but each one had a big heart. Call it bad luck. Braggs had just experienced a war, and it was the coalition forces of Tonigel, Lantonilan, and the Viero people who rescued them from despair. However, in this war, Count Tonigel and the people around Her Royal Highness the Princess The prestige of the Valkyrie is at its peak. Those of them who are related to both the army and the nobility will have heard of the names of these two people. When they learned that these two people were both from cloth, Knowing Qi's background, everyone suddenly felt like they were being kicked on the iron plate.

They had no time to sigh for the blind Earl Nagin, because compared to Earl Nagin, it can be said that the ignorant is innocent, but they bumped into others. If the Earl wants to deal with them now, I'm afraid No one dares to stand up for them.

The patrolling cavalry were panic-stricken, but they did not expect that Brando and Freya had forgotten them long ago - Brando was not so petty after all, not to mention that he knew very well the places like Golan-Elsen and even Karasu. According to customs, it was very common for young people to fight or even duel with each other. Both sides were relatively well-behaved. Although some people were injured, almost no one made a fatal move, and he had no intention of being harsh on this. As for the fact that these patrol cavalry came to make extra money, it was such a trend that he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. Moreover, he believed that with this lesson and the background of himself and Freya, the other party would probably not make such mistakes again in the future. , there is no need to offend people for no reason. After all, the Butchi people still have to live here. Most of these young patrol cavalry are local gentry and nobles. If they really want to form enemies, he and Freya cannot always Take care of me here.

And Freya had no such intention at all. She finally returned to her hometown once, and all she saw were familiar faces, especially people from the past militia like Little Phoenix, who surrounded her and insisted that she spend this time together. She wanted to tell her all her experiences since childhood, and the story between her and 'Count Tonigel', but how could she and Brando have so many stories to tell? Freya blushed and hesitated for a long time to say no. Come up with a reason, how can you remember the patrol cavalry?

The captain of the patrol cavalry, Ou Jin, waited there for a long time in fear and worry, but no one came to announce their death penalty or pardon. At first, he thought that the earl deliberately wanted to let them hang out here, but after waiting, After a while, I finally felt like that wasn't the case. He finally got a chance and asked a young man from the militia to ask him why. The young man had surrendered his sword before and was very polite to him with his sword skills, so he came to ask Brando how to deal with these things. Man, until now, Brando didn't remember that there was still such a group of people waiting for him to surrender.

When Ou Jin appeared in front of him with some fear, Brando couldn't help but feel a little funny. He knew these guys very well. He had witnessed these with his own eyes both when he was a player in his previous life and later in Lidenburg. Of the domineering and proud cavalry. In the early years, the patrolling cavalry was still part of the kingdom's professional army responsible for local security and defense. However, since the establishment of the police force, it has become a place where nobles place their cronies and arrange their children's future. The aristocracy of the army inevitably leads to discipline. After the years of flowers and summer leaves, patrol cavalry was basically a dispensable establishment in many cities. In border cities like Prague, it was slightly better and could still maintain basic combat effectiveness. And those cities that go deep into the territory are just a bunch of moths.

In fact, the reason why he forgot about these guys before was because he subconsciously thought that these guys had escaped. But he forgot that in front of his powerful Earl, it seemed that even if these patrolling cavalry were brave, they would not be able to do anything. Dare to leave without asking.

Eugene was a little surprised when he saw Brando for the first time. He probably didn't expect that the legendary Earl would be so young, but he also thought of other rumors about Earl Tonigel - such as Talking about the grandson of Sword Saint Darus and some rumors about him and His Royal Highness the Princess - I feel relieved again. Besides, it is often said outside that this master is a young genius that Eruin rarely sees in a hundred years. Only with this appearance can he be worthy. He deserves the title of young genius. He coughed quickly, straightened his posture, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, what happened today... is actually a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Brando was still thinking about how this guy would apologize. Unexpectedly, it was still such a boring old routine, with no creativity at all. He couldn't help but yawned and asked: "What misunderstanding?"

"That's it, sir," Ou Jin hurriedly continued: "...Everyone thinks that we are here to help Count Nagin drive them away from here. This is actually a pure rumor. Let's not say that we are going to drive everyone away. The fact that they were driven away from the forest is just a rumor, and even if it is true, it is not within the scope of our responsibilities. In fact, sir, we are here because of other official duties."

"Other official duties?"

"Sir, we heard reports earlier that a group of extremely vicious gangsters appeared in Prague. These guys left the city around evening. Later, our eyeliners discovered that they were wandering around here, so I chased them all the way. come over."

"Let me guess, then you bumped into Little Phoenix and the others and had a fight along the way, right?"

Ou Jin nodded sarcastically. Of course he could put aside all the responsibilities, but he knew that he might not be able to deceive the young earl, so he might as well tell the truth to avoid making people unhappy. Brando nodded, and probably understood the cause and effect of the matter. It seems that these people searched all the way, and then met Little Phoenix and his group. There was already a grudge between the two sides. The patrolling cavalry relied on their large number to want to arrest them. Seize the opportunity to report revenge. This is a more reasonable explanation. Brando knows very well that the so-called mission will not be a problem for these nobles in the future. As for the so-called vicious villains, it is naturally a credit, but if they are not caught, it will be forgotten. Anyway, they are There is no shortage of so-called credit.

But what he was a little curious about was what kind of group of so-called extremely evil people existed. Theoretically speaking, there were quite a few desperadoes in Prague, and to attract the attention of these patrolling cavalry, one must at least be satisfied. Two conditions - first, they must not be locals. Most of the local desperadoes have some connection with the Brotherhood of Thieves or other organizations in the gray field. These organizations are generally inextricably linked to the local nobles. Contact, so the patrol cavalry generally will not cause trouble for their own family members, although even Brando can't say why the patrol cavalry and the desperadoes became their own family members. This can be regarded as a landscape of Eruin in this era. . Secondly, there must be a certain number. One or two lawless elements are not in the eyes of the patrolling cavalry. It is not that they don't want to take care of them, but because of their efficiency, they will probably not notice the existence of such one or two people.

The current situation is obviously that a large group of lawless elements have sneaked into the city, so much so that even the patrolling cavalry has been alerted. No matter what Brando thinks, he feels that this is a bit like the behavior of a cultist.

But when he asked about it, before Ou Jin could tell the reason, little Finnis on the side seemed to hear something. He ran over and said, "Brother Brando, I seem to know these guys."

"you know?"

Brando looked at him curiously.
