Act 105: Symbol of Nature’s Affinity IV

The probability of space collapse caused by the disintegration of the magic power of the dimensional hole is quite small, not much higher than a person being struck by lightning under a cloudless sky. What's more, the Earth Sword, as a true artifact, can never be destroyed because of this. At most, it is just lost in some unknown space, perhaps in an unknown corner of the Warnd continent, or in an elemental plane. Even worse, outside the boundaries of tiamat law, countless One of the fragmented demiplanes or space fragments - if the Earth Sword is lost in these places, it may not be possible for mortals to find it back in their lifetime, but for dragons, they may be able to find it again one day. .

After all, time is not a threshold for dragons. They have immortal life.

Do Modesty and Gwendoline dare to bet? Brando stared at the two giant dragons closely and saw clues from their expressions - they did not dare to bet. Even if the chance is only one in 100,000 or one in a million, who can be sure that Lady Martha won’t make fun of you? Brando was keenly aware of this from their hesitation. Although he had come to almost the same conclusion from the other party's tough tone before, it was just that now this conclusion was confirmed - Gwendolyn What Modesty wanted to do with the Earth Sword also only had one chance, and they couldn't afford to lose either.

Brando secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this did not mean that he was out of danger, it at least meant that he could buy some more time.

Now the two sides are almost back on the same starting line.

Although Modesty and Gwendolyn still have the initiative.

"Mortal, your idea is very dangerous," the Dragon Queen replied coldly. The chill in her voice seemed to make the whole valley howl with a cold wind and a layer of frost fall: "You mean you want to use this Come to blackmail us?"

"Ms. Dragon, I have no choice." Brando replied calmly. He spread his hands and looked helpless. It was the first time for Chiara to see the ruffian side of the Earl, but the former's fearless calmness made her eyes sparkle slightly, and she thought that this bad guy was not really as good-for-nothing as the rumors said. Some time ago, Brando was always in a superior position, confident and giving orders, but now they are at a complete disadvantage. It can even be said that life and death are in the hands of others, but the other party also behaves neither humble nor overbearing, which makes people can't help but I was amazed.

The character of a gambler who doesn't care about life or death and who is all-or-nothing also surprised Chiara, who was used to seeing the cautiousness of the kingdom's nobles. She had never seen such a noble before.

But Chiara is more secretly angry. This guy is going to contradict the two giant dragons, and he will probably make things more tense. In fact, there is no other way to solve the problem at the moment - I really don't know why he is so angry for no reason. Can't you satisfy the vanity of the Dragon Clan? What a fool. What she doesn't understand the most is why this guy can't forget his subordinate.

Isn't it just a chess piece? Although you are already in this position, you should learn to abandon your pawns to protect your commander. Kindness and innocence are destined to have no relationship with nobles. You don't have only one subordinate, at least in this mission for now. As for all of us, she couldn't help but clenched her sharp little canine teeth, filled with resentment and wondering how this damn guy's head grew.

She quietly tugged on Brando's clothes several times, but the latter seemed to have known what she was going to say and turned a deaf ear. Miss Chiara was frightened and secretly angry for a moment, if it weren't for her being too small and unattractive. Watching and jumping up several times, the two giant dragon ladies didn't notice her. I'm afraid that she would have to take the initiative to interrupt the two dragons at this moment so that she could make her conditions.

Roman is very well-behaved. She always trusts Brando unconditionally when she is around him. However, this does not mean that the business lady is well-behaved and sensible. It is probably simply because there are tall people with such a mentality in the sky. That’s all.

Among the four, only the elf was too frightened to move. Xianni was also hiding in her hood, mumbling something.

After listening to Brando's answer, the expressions of the two giant dragons became very unkind, but they did not answer for a long time.

Brando also waited quietly.

In fact, he was very strange. Is this really so difficult for these two dragons? Their enemies were the Cruzes, and that was almost the same for him. His request for them did not even ask for help in retaking Akane, but just a promise that he could leave Andzlova safely and reach the capital of the empire. Go and cause trouble for the Cruz people - both parties clearly have the same interests and demands, but the other party is unwilling to do so. Is the dragon's face so valuable?

The giant dragons he had encountered in "Amber Sword" were not like this at all. They were more like Aloz and Star, who were very pragmatic in spending every penny they spent.

Brando instinctively felt weird. He thought about his request over and over again, trying to find out where it conflicted with the other party's interests, but he thought hard and couldn't find any clues - these two dragons are really crazy. ——This is the only conclusion he came to.

Brando waited. He had already given his last trump card. All he had to do now was wait for the other party's reply.

But to his disappointment, Gwendolyn finally shook her head.

"Mortal, your request will not change?" the Dragon Queen asked indifferently.

Brando nodded.

"Perhaps you are still lucky," Gwendolyn seemed extremely unwilling to give such advice that was almost soft words, but she frowned and continued: "But I want you to understand one thing. The Sword of the Earth is in your dimensional cave. This is indeed a very troublesome thing. However, for the Dragon Clan, it is not unsolvable. It’s just that we don’t want to waste time in vain. If you think that a dimensional cave alone can stop it. It would be a big mistake to scare us.”

The voice of the Dragon Queen rumbled and echoed in the valley. Brando also frowned slightly after hearing this. Of course he knew that what the other party said was true. His trump card was indeed not unsolvable for the other party - first of all, it was like It was what he had expected before. Even if the Earth Sword was lost, it would not be impossible for them to find it, but it would just cost a lot of time and even a lot of manpower and material resources.

In addition, there is a second possibility, which is to find a way to subdue him before killing him. If he loses consciousness, it will not be that difficult to open the dimensional hole using dragon methods.

It is very easy for two adult dragons to restrain him.

The premise is that he does not have a timer in his hand.

But now, if the other party is not careful, it will be self-defeating.

Brando's heart was clear, and he naturally understood the reason for Modesty and Gwendolyn's real concerns.

After Gwendolen finished admonishing, she paused for a moment and then continued: "I don't understand why you are so stubborn. She is just a human woman. She has no origin and no background. The only person she can rely on is Azure. Gun, but since you don't care about the Azure Spear, why are you at odds with yourself on this matter? Don't you understand yet? She is now in the center of the whirlpool and is a potential threat to you. What you need to do now is to try to distance yourself from her, instead of rushing in like a moth to a flame."

The Dragon Queen's words became heart-warming at the end: "Don't be stupid, you are a smart person, and you will not fail to see the pros and cons of this. Little guy, I am warning you like this for your grandfather's sake."

From a certain perspective, Gwendolyn’s words make sense——

There are bound to be many things in this world that are impossible to do as you wish.

Wanting to do it and finally doing it are two completely different things.

Having ideals but ultimately stalling is the norm in most situations. Human beings are a group that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. This is due to animal instinct of self-protection.

In front of Brando are two giant dragons and a huge and powerful empire. Behind him, the Eruin people are not even united themselves-the kingdom wants to protect every one of its people-but even he I know that if this sentence is placed within the kingdom - any noble will praise this as a resounding line, but in fact, everyone thinks that this is a subconscious slogan. It sounds beautiful, but it may not be true. It can be done.

That was Cruz after all.

Not to mention that there are Gwendolyn and Modesty standing in front of him. In the eyes of anyone, Brando will not have any moral problems if he chooses to retreat at this time. In fact, he has already done so. Good enough, how many lords dare to openly cause trouble in the empire for the sake of a subordinate? Based on this alone, no one in the entire Eruin dares to say that he is a sinister and despicable person who is greedy for vanity and pretends to be righteous.

The reason is very simple. If you are not convinced, you can also try to challenge the empire?

But manpower is sometimes poor after all.

When Gwendolyn said this, she had already retreated as much as possible. Chiara couldn't help but become anxious. Even the giant dragon had been given a step. If she continued to hold on to her death, she would really be asking for her own death. Isn't it a very simple principle to abandon soldiers to save commanders? She really didn't understand why this guy with a wooden fish head kept silent.

Brando did not answer directly.

Although he didn't understand why Gwendolyn and Modesty insisted on causing trouble for him, the fact was already in front of him. If he wanted to go to Rushta, he must first overcome the difficulty in front of him.

Regarding what choice he should make in his mind——

Brando didn't think much about it because he already had the answer.

At this moment, he felt like a patient suffering from late-stage fantasy symptoms. Reason and logic seemed to have nothing to do with him. He told himself in his heart - if I give up Qian, what will I have left? He self-examined a series of experiences since he came to this world. He said that everything he did, although it may not be clear, always followed the same belief. Not seeking logic, but seeking peace of mind. If he gives up this belief, then why does he return to this world?

Brando thought it was impossible to convince himself.

That being the case.

Then go ahead and do it.

People can stop, but they can't leave regrets.

"So," Brando replied, "the negotiations broke down."

"Actually, I'm very sorry," he said.

"But I still don't understand," Brando shook his head and asked in confusion: "How is my request offensive to these two respected ladies?"

Chiara almost jumped.

She was simply stunned. She once thought that Brando would definitely step down from power. Only a real lunatic would let himself be buried for such a thing. Although after these days of getting along, she had known that this guy was a relatively decent person at heart, but there were so many decent people in Eruin, and they would never break with the two-headed dragons over such a thing. .

Even if some people don't care about their own lives, the problem is that Brando is a lord. What about the other people under him? Doesn't he just care about it? Those people also let the lord do such nonsense?

This is a joke.

She subconsciously looked at Roman, but the business lady raised her little eyebrows as if it was natural for Brando to choose this way. It would be strange if he didn't choose this way, but Chiara couldn't help it. A little annoyed, haven't these people noticed one thing, that is, they are about to become a fragrant barbecue. Who are the business lady and the wooden-headed lord over there?

At this time Brando took a step back.

Chiara was startled as soon as she saw this action. With her intelligence, she could certainly see that the Earl was going to do his best - at this time, she had no time to think about what was available and what was not. She is a well-known genius within the Sifah family, but she has a more outstanding brother, who has always kept her hidden so that her reputation is not visible outside. Chiara has always been confident in her own mind. , even in this most dangerous moment, nature is no exception.

She was still annoyed that Brando was holding her back, but as soon as Brando moved, she immediately clearly judged the current situation and what she should do.

"That guy over there, since you chose to do this - damn it, you are such a brainless idiot - forget it, it won't help to say this now, I have something to tell you," she originally expected Bu Lando was able to surrender, but at this time he shouted decisively: "They can't help you. You must not hope that these two dragons will change their minds, because they are on the side of the Silver Queen, and there is only one betrayer in the empire." , that is Her Majesty the Queen!”

When Brando heard this, his movements that were about to take action suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but stared at Chiara in great surprise, wondering what the little lady was crazy about again. Could it be? You were so frightened that you started talking in your sleep?

Chiara's shouts echoed in the valley, and Gwendoline and Modesty, who were about to subdue Brando, stopped suddenly and looked at the little girl next to Brando in surprise - they They had never cared about each other before, but as soon as Chiara said these words, their minds were brought back to reality. The looks on their faces clearly proved that Chiara did not lie, on the contrary, she guessed correctly.

"It's too late to explain to you," Chiara replied angrily. She grabbed Brando's arm, and then roughly told her the information she got from Poli, Fire Anvil, and Shargos. After that, he shouted loudly: "Quickly, take us out of here. Although you are a little stupid, you are not a real madman after all. I know you must have a way!"

Of course she understood that once she revealed these secrets, there would be no room for turning back between the two parties.

And that's exactly what she's here for.

Since she saw that Brando was going to fight, she must not let this wooden head continue to be half-hearted and cause everyone to lose their lives. It would be best to completely dispel the doubts between him and the two dragons. She didn't want to give him something out of nowhere. A fool got killed. Of course, Brando didn't know that in Chiara's heart, he was already equivalent to a simple-minded idiot with well-developed limbs, but the sudden change of the little guy still shocked him. He pulled Chiara down to him, and then He grabbed the elf and let Roman hold his arm.

Chiara at least got one thing right.

He was indeed not helpless.

Brando turned on the elapsed pointer for the first time, but this time, he didn't just turn it on for a moment and then turn it off immediately like before. He continuously turned on this artifact for the first time. Time passed ten times and the entire scenery in the surrounding mountains and forests slowed down. The falling leaves, the slowly beating flames, and the flying dust formed a picture. Very strange landscape painting.

At this moment, this is a world that has slowed down ten times for Brando and others - or in other words, for Dragon Queen Gwendolyn and Modesty - Brando has sped up ten times.

Brando estimated the time he needed, and then realized with some bitterness that he needed to keep turning on the elapsed hand for at least ten minutes in order to have a chance of safely escaping into the underground passage without being pursued by the two dragons.

ten minutes.

This is a return to the rhythm before liberation.

But at the same time there is another problem. That was because Gwendolyn and Modesty had no way to crack his time pointer.

Gwendolyn and Modesty watched Brando's figure disappear at the same time, witnessing this scene from a high position, but they didn't seem to be too surprised. After all, they had known that the other party had a timer on their hand. . The Dragon Queen glanced at Modesty, who nodded slightly to her.

The two dragons spread their wings at the same time and flew up from the valley.

…

(ps: As for why there was iii yesterday? It was because it was to confuse the agency. The agency is so powerful that I have to keep a low profile as much as possible, so in the future you will see typos in the titles and so on... That must be a conspiracy by the agency, so there is no need to be alarmed.) (To be continued.)
