Act 60 Chiara

The two were talking when a servant knocked on the car door and reported from the outside: "Miss, the envoy has arrived, and they entered the city from the Stone Lizard Mountain Road. Because of the martial law, there was a delay."

"Humph!" After hearing this, the little girl knocked on the table in the middle of the carriage and pouted, "It seems that guy has arrived."

"Chiara, do we want to go over?" the earl's daughter asked weakly, but the little girl's attitude was tough, she quickly shook her head: "No, we'll wait here, let me see that first. Guys aren't boring enough."

Although the earl's daughter has a gentle expression on her face, she is not an idiot. Naturally, she can see that her companion is clearly trying to get along with the earl. She can vaguely guess the reason, and she can't help but ask more worriedly: "Chiara, this is not good."

"What's wrong?" the little girl replied pretending not to care.

"But after all, he is the head of the envoy..."

"So what, if that guy dares to face me and kill me, I will not go to the empire." The little girl snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Don't go to the empire?" The earl's daughter showed a startled look.

"What are you afraid of, Enid, when you come to live at my house for a while, and I go to complain to my brother, your father doesn't dare to do anything to us." The little girl replied.

The earl's daughter opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she knew that she couldn't convince this companion, so she could only sit there awkwardly, as if she had accepted her fate.

The car was quiet for a while, and the two of them were waiting for Brando to arrive with different moods. The earl's daughter only hoped that the earl would not take anger on her. She was worried about gains and losses, and she couldn't help but look sad for a while. The little girl sitting across from her looked indifferent, tapping on the car window with her fingers while looking at the scenery outside.

After Brando entered the city, he received a message from a servant. He knew that the representatives of the Sifah family and the Earl of Ash Mountain were already in the city, but after he settled the envoys and settled in the hotel in the fortress, he went to the agreed place alone. When he arrived near the appointed place, he saw the two carriages parked under the oak tree and the servants standing in two rows beside the carriage. , but he didn't expect that the servant who sent the message walked back to the carriage and returned the same way, and brought him back a sentence with a poker face:

"Miss, she heard that the Count is very knowledgeable and well-known. In order to prove the identity of the Count. She wants to test some academic problems of the Count."

Brando couldn't help being stunned,

I thought that this noble lady has no problem with her head, is there such a verification of her identity? Could it be that Her Royal Highness's seal ring is fake?

He glanced at the carriage. I thought about it, after all, she is a member of the royal family - although it is a former royal family - and a girl, it is not good to care too much, so I have to answer patiently: "Please tell me."

Chiara's small face was almost stuck to the car window, and she said with a little smugness: "I have heard that this guy claims to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The rumors about him in the southern border are amazing. Seeing it a lot, it’s just gold and jade, and knowledge is just a dress up and gorgeous clothes to them, watch me tear down his hypocritical appearance, hum. Let him understand that the search for truth is sacred and not blasphemous.”

The earl's daughter almost saw that she was punished for causing trouble to the family, and the closed hut was dangling in front of her. She asked worriedly, "What question did you ask him, Chiara."

"Hey," the little girl smiled slyly, she pushed her thick spectacles and replied smugly, "It's nothing, just some ancient words."

Enid stared at her suspiciously. Some doubted whether their companion would really be so merciful.

Sure enough, the little girl said again: "But a friend of my teacher asked him to find these words from some slates. In order to unearth those slates, my teacher and I stayed on the cold and boring Balta Plateau. It's been a long time. Teacher, he is an authority in the ancient language world, but he can't even recognize all the characters on the slate, so just wait and see that guy lose face."

Enid knew who the little girl's teacher was, and thought that since she couldn't even recognize the master, it would not be a shame if the earl couldn't recognize her. Of course, she didn't dare to say it. Lest the eldest lady change her mind again temporarily.

Outside the carriage, Brando was taking the note from the servant's hand. He glanced at the ancient tadpole-like words on the note and couldn't help laughing.

Isn't this what was written on the ancient slate?

The first clue of the war slate -

These slates were the clues he provided to Turaman, so that people could unearth them in this era in advance. If you want to ask anything else, it's just the words on this slate. The text on this slate once caused a stir on the forum, but it was finally translated by a master in their guild who had knowledge of ancient languages ​​at level 16 and who wore a scholar artifact with +3 linguistics skills—after knowing the necklace, He can come out even with his eyes closed. He put down the note, and without even thinking about the time, he said to the servant in front of him:

"Tell your lady, the fragments of the sky fell to the ground with the collapse of the towering pillar, and the whispers in the dust and the wind were recorded on it-"

After a few minutes--

"Chiara, Lord Earl, did he guess right?" Enid looked at her companion with some concern. She had been staring at the contents of this note for a while.

"He didn't guess." The little girl dropped these words, jumped out of the carriage, pushed away the servant who came to support her, and hurried out. Brando didn't expect to come out of the carriage to be such a little loli who seemed to be changing her teeth. To use the standard villain's lines, it was a young yellow-haired girl, and the other party was wearing a pair of cute and cute. The thick bottle-bottomed glasses whose face did not match, looked at him with a frown, and asked him, "Hey, how did you recognize these words?"

Are you talking about noble etiquette?

"This little lady, may I ask who you are?" Brando was still a little upset, but he was no longer angry when he found out that the exam school was such a little girl. Children care.

Chiara seemed to realize her rudeness only at this moment, but she snorted softly. He replied, "The Count of Dejoux is my father, Queen Anna is my aunt, and my brother is Duke Levin Ornethan Sifach. You must know who I am, right?"

What kind of messed up relationship is this? Brando looked at this arrogant little loli, and it took a while to sort out the situation and asked, "Are you the representative of the Sifah family?"

"It's the former royal family," the little girl corrected. "Almost, but I don't want to go to the empire. Can you convince me?"

What a spoiled little girl. Brando thought to himself, he shook his head: "I can't convince him, otherwise you should go back first. The eldest son of the king is a lenient person, and he must not blame his sister."

"Hey, you are so strange. You even call my brother Wang eldest son. You know it's illegal to call me that. Are you not afraid that Her Royal Highness will trouble you? Oh, I see," the little girl His eyes flashed, and he replied proudly: "You don't take that little princess in your eyes at all, do you, or you support Brother Levin on the throne. The Corcova family has lost its sword and lost the throne. It is also a matter of course, history is a cycle. When the Sifah Dynasty came to revival early, and my brother is much more powerful than your princess, the little girl princess will only calculate how to sell herself for a good price and marry her. A wishful husband, just to revitalize the Corcovado royal family. It's too superficial. The revival of a country is not in one family. Well, I guarantee that you will not be just the count in the future, people will I call you the Duke."

If it was someone else who said this to Brando like this, Brando promised to punch him to the ground and couldn't get up, but it was a milky little loli who persuaded him seriously, only let him He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this little guy didn't even have all his teeth replaced, but a little princess called Griffin, as if the seventeen-year-old Princess Her Royal Highness seemed to her to be fresh.

"Miss, if you want to go to the empire, I can help you write a letter to prove that you are unwell. As for the rest, I really have no interest in discussing it." Brando had no choice but to answer.

But the little girl didn't necessarily appreciate it, she shook her head and said, "I'm in good health, I don't need you to give me any certificate, and you haven't told me why you recognize those words, I must find a way to figure this out. ."

"Okay, as you wish." Brando shook his head, thinking that you said you didn't want to go to the empire, what is it that you go back on your word.

But Chiara seemed to see this disapproval look on his face, and snorted softly: "I don't want to go to the empire, and I want to go to the empire, there is no contradiction between this." After that, she turned around again. He trotted back to the carriage with his skirt in hand, used his hands and feet rudely and used a mountain-climbing carriage, and said loudly to the earl's daughter who was sitting on the carriage in disbelief, "Enid, I have changed my mind, I am going to the Empire, Go back alone."

"No need, Chiara, I, I'll accompany you." The earl's daughter wanted to cry without tears. When did she say she would go back, but Chiara's words finally made her relieved——fortunately, At least there is no need to go home and be locked up. Although I don't know why the eldest lady changed her mind temporarily, the countess couldn't help but feel an indescribable goodwill towards the Count Tonigel, who she had never met before.

Thank goodness Martha was on top, and she quietly drew a god's mark on her chest.

...

After Chiara and the count's daughter returned to the team, the people who had been traveling for several days enjoyed a rare night in the hotel where they could sleep peacefully. Although there was a lot of uproar in the city because of the thief's incident, it had nothing to do with them after all. Although the guards probably wanted to copy all the wealthy businessmen in the city, and then claimed that they were working together, and then confiscated their property, they did not dare to provoke this powerful team.

The envoy stayed in Fort Tisco for half a day and one night, and set off on the road early the next morning. It is said that the Viscount did not find the mysterious thief until the end, so the area around the Ash Mountains remained for a long time thereafter. There is a legend of an elusive nightingale. At first, the image of the nightingale was like a god in the sky, and then he didn't know how to get involved with Count Tonigal, and some people even swear that he saw Lord Count stealing Lord Viscount's things with his own eyes, just like cloth. When Lando committed the crime, he acted as if he was letting go. Over time, the image of this nightingale gradually spread into the image of a wise and witty little girl, but no matter what kind of image. In short, what they do is to rob the rich to help the poor, and to act as chivalrous thieves.

As for what the Viscount lost, there are even different opinions. Some say it is a ton of gold, or a diamond the size of a fist. Some exaggerated claims are that it is evidence that the Viscount is collaborating with the enemy and treason, carrying such malicious thoughts. Most of the people who have a grudge with the Viscount have something to do with it, but a common understanding is that these things - if they are obtained by themselves. How nice. It turns out that most people don't have the noble character to be a rogue.

After leaving Fort Tisco, the envoy went all the way north, but did not enter Corcovado, but crossed the junction between the Ash Mountain and the Balta Plateau. The icy cold wind of the Ironthorn Mountain Road is directly approaching the border of the kingdom day after day. After leaving the Ash Mountain area, it is an endless mountain group. There are no human settlements in the vast and rolling mountains. Three days later. They passed near Winterpaw Keep. It can be said to say goodbye to the last area closest to civilization before reaching the empire.

Then there is the snowy area that is untouched all year round, a natural forbidden area between the empire and the kingdom.

Haruzer told them some terrifying legends about the region, such as those crunching noises in the night wind that were the whispers of the undead on the highlands, and the lame walkers on the highlands—the terrifying wolf-shaped creatures that he and his My sister has lived in Winterpaw for a long time, so she knows some local folklore well. But these stories scared the ladies of the embassy so much that they didn't sleep well for days and nights. Then Brando and the little prince became unwelcome guests in various carriages together, which was also a disaster for Brando.

These days, Chiara has been pestering Brando to figure out why he knows the meaning of those ancient words, and of course Brando can't come up with it if you are all cavemen. I am at least a Homo sapiens from the future; but in an accidental conversation, when this little girl from the Sifah family asked about his teacher's inheritance, he, as always, brought out the rhetoric of learning art from the Bugjas, Unexpectedly, this rhetoric worked wonders, and Chiara disappeared after that. She hid in her carriage with the earl's daughter all day long, and later Brando realized that she was planning to steal the knowledge of the Buga from him. This so-called truth suddenly made him feel like crying without tears.

The others in the envoy did not have the hard-working spirit of the eldest lady of the Sifah family. Except for Eco and the non-commissioned officer from Yanilasu, most of the pampered descendants of the nobles, since entering the Balta has been complaining for a long time since then, and then began to fall ill one after another, the first is Mr. Avram, the meatball, who ate some unclean game because of his greed - of course, he asked his servant to find a way to find it - -As a result, he began to vomit and have diarrhea. Fortunately, there were still priests in the envoy, and it took a day or two to make him stop.

Then there was the seven or eight-year-old little loli from the Grand Duke Golan-Elsen's house who developed a high fever. As a result, Brando, the head of the group, seemed to be a cameo as a nanny, although the little loli grabbed her hand and burst into tears. Softly calling my brother, this sounds very good, but the price is that I haven't closed my eyes for a few days.

And after the envoy crossed the last mountain on the border of Balta, everything seemed to calm down involuntarily.

Because everyone understands that the front is the black sword barrier.

From the last epoch, that was the gateway to the Empire, the last hurdle to the north of the kingdom—

The majestic and majestic peaks traverse the north and south, connecting the two kingdoms together. In the southeast of the empire lies such a huge mountain system. It is part of the White Mountains. The end of the west passes through the southernmost part of the Four Borders, where an undulating mountain group is formed. In the center of this group of mountains, there is snow all year round, and there are even many large and small continuous black forests. Here is an archaeological The paradise of scholars and explorers, the Dirut Mountains - a mountain range named after the first generation of wind spirit kings, to the west of it is the famous Anzeruta area, the name alone may be confusing, but it is There is another name - the hometown of the highlanders, the hometown of the longblade lord; and in the east of the Dirut Mountains, is the starry Abyss Sea, along the coast of the Abyss Sea, there are large and small principalities and kingdoms, Antou. Bourou is one of them.

And in the north of it, it is the famous Four Realm Wilds, the four-leaf clover plain, the place where the wind elves and the Cruz people arose, and also the place where the sacred covenant was concluded.

The Balta Plateau is just the southern tip of this prestigious mountain range. The mountain range gradually converges in the direction of the Corcovado Plain, forming a famous pass with the eastern end of the Broken Sword Mountains. It is the Black Sword Barrier.

On this day, everyone in the envoy finally saw the insignificant fortress between the two Xiongfeng peaks from a distance from the high ground, but everyone knew that only when you really came under that fortress would you The city walls of the fortress over twenty meters were deeply shocked——

That's the Wall of Empires.
