Chapter 113: Guest
Northland is now a huge construction site, and there are so many things to deal with in the replanned city. Although Bran used the method of delegating power and letting Yir and the others deal with these things, there were still many things that he needed to see personally.
Yir and the others are still in the run-in period with Bran, and Bran does not understand their actual abilities, nor do they understand Bran's character. They were more uneasy about Bran's decentralization. Because behind the right is the corresponding responsibility, now the impact of the killing has not dissipated, and the people's hearts are not stable, and no one dares to take responsibility at this time. Therefore, they have adopted a cautious and no big mistake, and they will report the big and small things first.
There is nothing Bran can do about it at the moment, and this kind of thing can only be slowly improved. After all, these people are not here to procrastinate, but only to protect themselves. This kind of life of being asked back and forth every day makes Bran feel very troubled. As a wizard, he prefers to spend his time exploring endless secrets in order to gain greater power. This is the foundation of his life, and everything else is just an accessory of a wizard.
When the excited Zoya entered Northland, she was greeted by a chaotic and noisy scene, which made her frown a little. She remembered that Bran was always hiding in the gorgeous mountain house, lying in a rocking chair, shaking and shaking. It was a look of fireworks that did not eat the world, and it seemed incompatible with the scene in front of him.
When she was brought into the city, she saw Bran sitting under a tree at a glance. In front of him, a mature and beautiful lady was respectfully asking him for something. The black cat, who was inseparable from him, was crouching and yawning boredly. Not far away, Dani, a tall female warrior, smiled at her and beckoned to her.
Zoya trotted over and smiled flatteringly. "Sister Dani. ”
Seeing that Dani nodded at herself with satisfaction, Zoya exhaled softly. She was afraid of Dani, when all the children were afraid of Dani. Even the pair of dragon knights were respectful when facing Dani. Fortunately, in the villa at that time, Dani would not show up easily. Although the children are a little afraid, they don't have to face it all the time. But now? Zoya looked at Dani's face carefully, and it was fine.
"What is he doing?" asked Zoya cautiously.
"Arrange work. Then feeling a little vague to say that, Dani further explained, "You should have seen it when you entered the city, and Little Bran was rebuilding the city. ”
Zoya's eyes lit up, "Are you going to build a villa like that?"
Daniel was happy and gently stroked Zoya's head, "Maybe." ”
At this point, Bran ended the conversation, stood up and walked over to this side. He first said in a joking tone, "Dani, you better hide, she is so scared by you that she can't stand still." ”
Dani waited for Bran to get closer, reached out and tapped Bran on the head before turning away. As Dani walked away, Zoya let out a long breath.
But Bran didn't let her go, "Tell you a secret." ”
"What's the secret?"
"A powerful warrior has a much more perceptual range than ordinary people. So, your last move must have fallen into Dani's eyes. ”
"Huh!?" Then she looked at Bran's wicked smile and knew she had been deceived, so she reached out and hammered Bran.
While Bran was teasing the little girl, he wondered in his heart, what was she doing here, if he was to offer his daughter, he was not old enough to use such a gift. If he had other intentions, Bran didn't feel anything unusual about Zoya. The feeling of unfamiliarity at first sight also dissipated with a few jokes.
Just when Bran felt inexplicable, Zoya said, "You've grown a lot taller. ”
"Really? I haven't been paying attention. ”
"Really. Did you miss me?"
"I can't remember it. This sentence was exchanged for another light hammer.
Back under the tree, Zoya followed Bran's example and sat down with her back against the tree. Then the question that arose from the moment he entered the door was raised. "Why are you sitting here?"
"He needs my company. Bran pointed to the tree.
"You're lying again!"
"By the way, where is the knight who escorted you, and I should thank him in person for bringing such a beautiful lady to me safely. ”
This flattery made the little girl happy, and she first corrected: "It's her." ”
Then he called his guardian knight in. When her guardian knight entered, Bran patted his head and said to her, "Would you like to visit my new home?"
The sudden thought made Bran lose his interest in teasing the little girl, and he cleanly took Zoya away. Bran is currently isolated from the outside world, making him very passive when dealing with all sides. He had thought about taking the initiative, but how could he take the initiative in a strange world? He had just suddenly thought that Zoya might be ignorant, but she would definitely arrange for one or two people around her to take care of her.
As Zoya left, Bran could clearly feel the knight in front of him become vigilant. He spoke, "Relax, just to get some insight into the outside world." Tell us what you know about what happened during this time. ”
Bran's homely attitude made the visitor feel relaxed. She methodically explained what had happened recently. When she finished explaining, she realized that she had made a mistake when she faced Bran, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. An ordinary knight should not know such things in such detail.
Seeing that the person in front of him began to become nervous, Bran smiled, "This city is not small, and your little master will not be able to return for a while." We have plenty of time to talk about other things. For example, to whom are the Hyde family ready to move closer, and what other nobles are ready to make overtures to the kingdom of Anyah?
You see, many nobles have fled to the Northlands last year, and although I don't know you very well, I think courtship is a process that requires constant contact. But until now, I haven't seen anyone else coming. Oh, except for the three troublemakers.
Obviously, even if a few Anya people were killed, it would still not be able to help those nobles make up their minds. It seems that the Anya Kingdom is really strong, and one or two defeats are obviously nothing.
Are you here just to see me?"
"Zoya, I really just wanted to come and see you. The knight in front of him replied in the affirmative.
"Yes, I believe this little girl just wants to come and see me. And what about you?"
"My role is to protect and guide Zoya. ”
Bran pursed his lips: "What a wise choice, we all want to remain neutral." ”
This is not good news for Bran, since the nobles have chosen to wait and see, Bran's idea of establishing contact with the outside world as soon as possible with the help of external forces will not be possible for a while. And when he wishfully thought that the Zoya family was ready to move closer to the Northland, he received a disappointed answer.
However, being able to send someone, whether for further observation or for other purposes, ultimately opened the door for Bran to contact with the outside world. At the moment, Bran didn't feel any malice in them, so he decided to be friendly, to make the little girl happy when he had time, and he needed to send a signal to the nobles who were watching, a signal to get along with each other.
