Act 119 Shadow of the Fleet (Part 1)

(Do you think I have become more powerful?)

Today's Valhalla is no longer what it used to be. This emerald city of trees is growing day by day under the careful maintenance of the light spirit. This giant tree can be seen in many places in the Erdong territory, reaching up like a cloud. But in the eyes of the locals, what is different from four months ago is that since the "mysterious wizards" from the sky moved in, the changes on this giant tree have become more and more drastic.

Under the confused and even horrified eyes of the world, horizontal branches sprouted from the jade-like crown of the giant tree. These branches curled downwards to form a door-like shape. Wizards in silver robes also carved stars on the trunks. It is full of densely packed runes, and at night, the colorful light emitted by these flashing magical words can be seen even more than ten miles away.

Before people could figure out what was happening above, an even more surprising sight came to this land.

It's a spaceship.

Those ships that really floated in the air, the floating ships that the locals had only heard of in legends - full of people and supplies, with sails inflated, came from the north. At first there were one or two scattered ones, and then there were A densely packed fleet, some of these spaceships left as soon as they arrived, while others docked beside the giant tree. However, only half a month later, Valhalla had the prototype of an airport - until this moment, everyone After realizing what those mysterious wizards were doing.

The airport cross bridge formed by the tree trunks of Valhalla obviously has more natural advantages than the airport tower built by humans on the ground. It is more like the dock built by the Buga people on the floating city, so the wizards from the Silver Society It will be easier to design such an airport. The construction of the airport, which was part of the transaction between the two parties, was progressing very quickly. The silver-robed wizard Maned stood on the cross bridge and looked at the completed Pier 11 and the nascent Piers 12 and 13, but he His gaze was not to admire his colleagues who were busy at the airport - but to stare at the ripples of space between the curling tree doors.

"The anchor point coordinates are south of the Sublime Sea of ​​Andrea!" While he was in a daze, a silver-robed wizard had accurately reported a series of data. Maned suddenly woke up, his silver eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately turned around and ordered: "Go and ask Ms. Antitina to come over."

He hesitated for a moment:

"And Senator Tanya."

"immediately!"

He added harshly——

…

A gust of cold wind blew over the city wall from the sea, carrying the smell of abundant rain. After midsummer, the rainy season still continues along the coast of the Sublime Sea, and such sea breeze usually heralds the coming of a storm. The little prince sneezed gently in the cold wind, and Brando patted him on the shoulder casually, knowing in his heart that he might be afraid. Only a few expected this. He raised his head and looked at the Cruz nobles present. Although the previous topic about the resurrection of the Twilight Dragon sounded scary, it was still too far away for mortals. After a short period of panic and consternation, Cruz's nobles quickly calmed down.

After all, even if the Dusk War is really about to come, worrying about it all day long will not help, let alone compared to Warnd's fate in the future. Or is the current predicament more important. Carpe diem is the exclusive preserve of aristocratic men.

Brando even saw some nobles trying to compliment Lesmeka: "I'm so sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience, beautiful... uh, madam, but you finally escaped and came to the surface world, didn't you. Is this at least something to be thankful for?" The person who spoke was a suave middle-aged nobleman - complimenting a beautiful lady - no matter whether the lady has snake hair or erect pupils, she is In any aristocratic circle on Warnd continent, it is not a shameful thing. On the contrary, it can also reflect their gentlemanly demeanor.

Brando shook his head gently,

Ms. Medusa seemed to enjoy the compliment, and she smiled slightly: "That's true. But what's slightly correct is that I can appear here not just because of the blessing of the God of Luck... "

Hearing this, Brando frowned subconsciously. He looked in that direction, and sure enough he saw the inexplicable look that Lesmeka cast towards him.

"I can appear here and get to know you gentlemen. But it is thanks to the rescue of a heroic knight. The demon that enslaved my clan was summoned by some evil forces in the surface world and invaded the Kingdom of Eruin. It was this gentleman who led your human army to defeat this demonic army. He rescued me. In fact, I didn’t even have time to express my gratitude to him in person.”

Lesmeka's voice sounded charming and pleasant, but when Brando heard it, he couldn't help but frown deeper. He even felt a few envious eyes cast on him from there - Ampelser The time that your battle took place was not that long now, but this battle involved overt and covert battles between the temple and the Eruin people, as well as several behemoths within the empire, and even attracted the attention of the 'Devil Invasion'. The vocabulary of eyeballs has become familiar to the nobles of the empire in just half a year, and the legendary young nobles under Princess Eruin in that war are naturally familiar to these people. Who is Lesmeka talking about? Of course they knew it.

It is naturally enviable to be grateful to such a great beauty.

Only Brando himself was still frowning. The gratitude coming from a Medusa didn't sound right. Although Lesmeka described herself as a weak woman who couldn't help but be frail, Brando's heart But they are very calm. These supporters of the underground matriarchal clan do not necessarily think that they are kind people. The surface world has another name for them: Gorgons. This name is to describe the indifference, selfishness, and love of these creatures. Playing tricks.

In particular, he also knew that although these guys were not on good terms with the dark elves at Ash Point, their cultures seemed to be of the same origin. Apart from conflicts over beliefs, their personalities were the same.

Of course, this is not surprising, because this is the basic law of survival in the underground world. In the dark underground, scheming against each other is as common as commonplace.

"She has been asking His Highness Haruze about you for a long time." At this time, Nymesis glanced in that direction. reminded in a low voice.

Brando was slightly startled, probably because he didn't expect Nimesis to take the initiative to remind him. He couldn't help but asked in a flattered tone: "Why do you let this woman be around the little prince? She obviously has ulterior motives."

"It is the decision of His Royal Highness the little prince, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has no objection."

Brando looked back at her in surprise: "You didn't object?"

Nymesis stared into his eyes and did not answer.

"I understand, this is your attitude as a minister. But I don't think so." Brando couldn't help but shook his head.

"So in the eyes of the royal party, you also have ulterior motives." Nymesis replied calmly.

Brando was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was the senior senior student reminding himself without leaving a trace: Yes, no matter how he blends into this world, he is who he is, and half of Sophie's soul makes him different from everyone else in this world. Many people don't fit in. But Brando doesn't intend to change. What he wants to change is the world and this ancient kingdom. "Restricting one's hands may not be right. I don't want to make the same mistake again." He replied softly.

"what ever."

In exchange for this answer.

When Brando looked back again, he glanced at Lesmeka warily. The latter obviously noticed his look, but didn't care. Still smiling kindly, she looked at him from a distance. There was a profound meaning in those prismatic pupils, as if they had an unfathomable meaning. Brando frowned slightly, but to his expectation, Lesmeka did not walk in this direction, but looked away after a moment, as if everything before was really just a simple expression of gratitude.

"Is this considered playing hard to get?" Brando was a little stunned. But if this was really the woman's intention, then her hopes would be in vain, because at this moment he had no intention of interrogating the other party's intention, not to mention he was not worried at all about what tricks this woman could do alone - if she attacked him Naturally, he wouldn't be afraid of anything. If he came for the little prince or the eldest princess, he believed that the senior sister would not be unaware of it.

And it's right now. He felt a slight warmth in the palm of his hand and quickly opened it - there was a magic rune of the communication technique that he had left with Ciel before.

…

After a moment, Brando turned back with a serious face, his eyes falling on Count Alkans. The latter had obviously noticed Brando's previous use of communication. Although he is also a Cruz noble, after all, he is in a high position. He can barely be regarded as one of the few people with a slightly longer-term vision. Others may still be in the mood to live and die, but Alkans understands what they are facing now. Such a situation, especially when he almost fell into the hands of the Qiaogendigang people, did not want to have such an experience again, so when Brando's eyes fell on him, the majestic Earl immediately understood and replied He turned over his head and ordered: "Volas, come here."

When Viscount Wallas heard the summons, he immediately got excited, came to Brando respectfully, and asked humbly: "What are your orders, Lord Earl?"

Brando couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Count Alkans, and then replied: "My wizards are ready. Please ask the Viscount to lead us to the dock area. The cavemen regard this place as From the rear, it is obvious that Loen Port will not remain in the hands of the empire for too long, and we don’t have much time.”

Wallas was slightly startled, as if he had been stunned for a moment before he realized what the young earl in front of him was saying. Although he had heard the same words before, he never dreamed that the other party was serious - he had originally I thought that the other party was just showing a tough attitude, giving them Cruz people a show of strength, and justifiably taking command of Loon Port. But the problem is that he never lied a word before, Loon Port At this moment, there is really not even a sampan to be found.

Thinking of this, the viscount couldn't help but asked with sweat on his face: "Sir, are you saying that your wizards have cleared the berths? But sir, we...we really didn't lie to you, the port There’s not a single boat in there!”

Perhaps because he wanted to express himself too much, Wallas subconsciously raised his voice. The conversation between the two immediately attracted the attention of other nobles on the city wall. Most of these nobles did not participate in the decision-making. Only a small part of them had experienced previous negotiations with Wallas. Most of the others only knew that Brando had sworn to assure them that there were still ships available in the port, so they still had wishful thinking that there were still ships in Loen Port. There are few ships anchored, and all Brando has to do is commandeer these ships. Then he took all of them away without knowing that at this moment almost all the ships in the entire port had sunk to the bottom of the bay.

Hearing what Wallas said at this moment, these people couldn't help showing expressions of astonishment and even disbelief. However, after a moment of silence, someone immediately yelled:

"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Wallas? What do you mean there are no ships?"

"There's no boat. How do we get out of this damn place?"

The nobles were panicking, and the voices of doubts were getting louder and louder, and soon there was a buzzing sound. However, these people still knew who was in the hands of their fate at this moment. Obviously, their previous life as captives made them at least understand. Who is the boss here, so few people dare to question Brando. But even so, Brando still frowned when he heard it. He couldn't help but glanced at everyone present coldly, and said angrily: "Shut up!"

There was silence on the city wall for a moment. After a while, a noble asked hesitantly: "But, Your Majesty the Earl..."

"Shut up." Brando interrupted these people mercilessly: "Now I am taking you out of this place, not you trying to take us away. I didn't let you put forward any opinions, so just give it to me. Be good and don't make any noise."

He stared back at the suspicious gazes of these nobles with a heavy face, and then turned back to look at Wallas angrily. The latter obviously understood that he had done something wrong. He buried his head deeply, his forehead full of It's a thin drop of sweat. Brando glanced at this guy and then replied coldly: "When did I tell you to prepare the boat? Or did I say that I didn't speak Cruz language? Mr. Viscount, I asked you to take the gentlemen here to the dock area. Do you need me to repeat it a third time?"

"But..." Wallas replied tremblingly. He obviously couldn't imagine how the young earl in front of him could conjure a boat with his bare hands, especially since it was not one or two boats, and he wanted to evacuate Loen Port. It would take at least an entire fleet to take away everyone present. According to the poor Viscount's thinking, the young Earl couldn't save face and was obviously prepared to find a scapegoat to take the blame, and that scapegoat could obviously be him. How can he not be frightened.

"Nothing but," Count Alcorns interrupted him first: "Do what the count said, immediately."

"This..." Wallas had a bitter look on his face, but since his lord had already spoken, he naturally had no room to refute. He could only sigh and walked down the city wall dejectedly.

The expression on his subordinate's face naturally fell into the eyes of Count Alkans, and he looked at Brando calmly: "Count Tonigel..."

"Don't worry," Brando certainly understood what the person in charge of Loon Port wanted to say: "I won't joke with you at this time. You go to the dock area first, and I will be there soon."

When Alkans heard Brando's answer, he said nothing more, nodded slightly, and then turned around and left. Other nobles on the city wall had obviously noticed the conversation between the two, but since the leader, Earl Alcorns, had already made this statement, the remaining people naturally did not dare to object easily, and everyone one after another Leaving the city wall one by one, only Nymesis was left with Brando.

"Did something happen?" The female knight stared at Brando and asked.

Brando was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was so observant. He didn't know if the senior noticed the clue from his face before or from his last words. He was stunned for a moment before he said: "It's nothing." , It’s not a big problem, you go ahead.”

Nymesis stared at him with dark eyes without saying a word. After a moment, she calmly said: "Are you from Buga?"

Brando's eyes widened in surprise. You can guess this. For a moment, he almost really found a familiar aura unique to Bai Jia from this unsmiling female knight.

Nymesis stared at Brando and seemed to have found the answer from the other person's changing face. She didn't need to answer any more. She turned around slightly and said: "You'd better hurry up." , there is a smell of sulfur in the air.”

The Dragon Queen had obviously noticed that they had entered Loen Port. The faint smell of sulfur in the air heralded the arrival of the dragon beasts. Brando stared at Nimesis's back for a long time before turning around and opening his palms. The magical runes of the teleportation spell shined brightly on his palm, but the image that appeared in his palm was not the projection of Ciel, but an exquisite and beautiful little person - to be precise, the elf lady Tanya full body image.

"Ms. Tanya, why did you come in person? What happened?" Brando stared at this little person and asked with a frown.

"What, you're surprised to see me? I asked Mr. Charles to use magic to relay the communication between me and him, so that I can directly contact you, Mr. Brando, or the lord." Ms. Elf said calmly. replied.

"To put it bluntly, it's my money that's being used now." Brando replied angrily. Remote positioning coordinates consume a huge amount of magic power. It can be said that every second is burning money.

"To put it simply, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"I just want to know if the things you promised me are ready!" Brando replied through gritted teeth.

Tanya was silent for a moment.

"Of course, the Bugas never break their promises."
