Chapter 54: The Duke's Warning
Looking at Bran, who was holding a huge black cat and a pair of black eyes on his head, standing in front of him, the Duke felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The missions and caravans continued to inquire about the situation in the Northland, both openly and covertly, and everyone knew about it, but everyone pretended not to know. As long as you don't touch the bottom line, many things are not caught red-handed, and most of them turn a blind eye. If Northland is not to be completely isolated from the circle of the state, then some information must be conveyed through some channel.
The spies in the caravan are preparing to invade the mountain villa at night, and they have indeed touched the bottom line, so Bran should inform the duke and ask him to deal with it. But Bran instigated his brother and sister for the sake of a few wizards, killed one, captured one, and lost one, and then the duke and knights came out to wipe the bear child's ass.
After that, Bran and Dani kidnapped all the wizards in the caravan with a speed and in a way that no one could have imagined, which was a bit excessive. Fortunately, the sneak attack and the method of beating the stuffy stick were clean and neat, and no handle was dropped. The duke finally believed what his daughter said to him, and her younger brother had a bad stomach, and he pondered the yin behind his back every day.
"Bran, you give me some restraint. ”
"Okay. ”
"Don't bother with the caravans. ”
"Okay. ”
"Stop messing around. ”
"Okay. ”
"You call Dani in. ”
"He's my squire. ”
"So let you call her in!"
"You have no right to give orders to my attendants, and anything can be conveyed through me. ”
"I called it myself. ”
"She has the right to refuse your orders, she is a Northlander, and she will keep her vows. From the day she became my attendant, from the time we spoke of life and death in the dining room of this castle, she had nothing to do with you at all. ”
"It's against you!"
"You'd better not go out, Danny isn't the only one outside. And your other squires, your knights, have confronted you in front of them, and your reputation has been tarnished.
You calm down and at least look at our takeaways. ”
Bran began to persuade: "My sister, you should have noticed these days, if she can complete the trial, she will definitely be another martial god. ”
The duke's sense of powerlessness deepened, and he remembered the scene when he was young and he had confronted his father. Is this retribution? It's just a little early.
"We also have our own wizards, you can tell me if you need to. The Duke decided to calm the mood.
"I know, but it's going to die, and I'm not simply communicating. Two clusters of starlight appeared in Bran's hands like a juggle, "This is the last thing left in this world by the two wizards, it is better to die someone else than to die your own." Moreover, we Northlanders pay more attention to our own martial arts, and do not pay attention to the use of wizard abilities. How many people, they are just complacent about the slight improvement in physical fitness that comes with becoming a wizard. After they awakened, how many times did they use the abilities they had acquired? I'm afraid that I have forgotten what I awakened in the first place. Our trials allow us to gain great strength, but they also make us overlook. ”
The Duke was a little speechless, "You have to maintain at least some respect for life." ”
"Don't worry, I have a clear purpose, just those wizards. And I know what you really want when you come to me? Actually, just tell me. Since I woke up, the summary of ability improvement and application is here. I have a good habit of always taking notes. So don't worry, I'll treat writing as a problem. I'm not as brave and fierce as my two brothers, nor am I as savage as my sister, but I'm a civilized person. ”
Bran handed over a thick notebook and was very proud: "It's a bit messy, remember to return it to me as soon as possible after transcribing a copy." ”
"Uh, how do you know I want this?"
"Because you didn't just whip me after hitting you. Bran pointed to the duke's desk, and grinned, a little smug, he would not forget the experience of being spanked by the duke on the desk.
"Some of the more intuitive small models were snatched away by my sister, and I was too lazy to do them again, so if I wanted to see them, I would borrow them from her. So, can I go?"
The Duke waved his hand weakly and motioned for Bran to get out of here......
As Bran reached the door, the Duke stopped him and asked, "What would you do if I carried it to the table and beat you?"
Bran hesitated, and pulled out a round, thick metal disc with a distinctly raised metal disc from behind his buttocks.
......
In the villa, seeing that her brother came back easily, Lily looked incredulous, and asked, "My dad just let you go?"
"It seems that you are not happy with me, I didn't get beaten, and you are a little disappointed?"
"I just feel like you're being used by you, and you're catching those wizards for yourself. ”
Bran was a little angry and raised his voice: "It's for us! Here, you get the most benefits, but you don't do much, and your brother and sister are the most innocent." ”
"Do you know we're innocent?" Bran heard his brother's voice behind him.
"Uh, uh......" Bran was a little embarrassed when he was caught, and then quickly changed the subject: "I don't know if the two brothers are looking for me, what's the matter?"
"Not for you, but for Lily. ”
Bran understood that it was the two older brothers who wanted to compete with their sister, so they immediately slipped away......
......
Aiman and Erin, the little dragoon, came again, and Aiman couldn't help the pain of lovesickness, and pulled his sister as a cover to the villa in an extremely shameless way.
Bran was now distraught and didn't bother to pay attention to the pair of little dragoons, so he pointed in the direction of the martial arts field and motioned for them to go over on their own. He believed that with the strength that his sister was showing now, Aiman would be devastated and lose all confidence. And he just wanted to continue to stay in the rocking chair and hold Huahua quietly for a while.
Erin didn't leave, or because she didn't want to disturb her brother's date, so she naturally sat down close to Bran. Then the two of them were silent, thinking about their own thoughts.
After a long time, Erin said in an affirmative tone: "You are a wizard, this is Bran Villa, this is your villa. So, the man on the wall, the wizard of the caravan, is devoured by you. ”
"It's not devouring, it's assimilation. A phenomenon of magical confrontation between wizards. Bran sighed, "I don't have the ability to devour others, it was just an accident, it happened without anyone expecting it."
It also reminded me that my abilities could still be used in this way. It's like a dinner knife was originally used to cut meat and eat, but it was inadvertently cut on the hand, only to find out that it can also kill.
Are you scared? I know you're scared when you see a figure on the wall, but I didn't expect it to scare you. ”
"I've always felt that you don't have the wildness of the Northlanders, and you get along so well with the animals of the mountain villa that I even envy you a little. But now, you find that you have a natural disregard for life. Erin stared at Bran, as if to confirm something.
"I'm just used to and indifferent to certain fears, I'm never indifferent to life, and I even have a lot of respect for life. But after measuring, I don't rule out all kinds of means. ”
Bran closed his eyes and continued: "You are just frightened, you may have heard the bloody battles and bravery of your fathers, but you have not really seen the cruelty behind this.
However, when you really feel the despair, you can't bear it anymore, so you want to vent your fear by judging me. Maybe you know that I won't really hurt you, that's why I'm going to question you face to face. You want to hide your cowardice through justice, or whatever else can cover up your cowardice.
But, I'm from the Northlands, you're a dragon knight, and we don't need that. ”
Bran reached out to Erin's hand and held it, but Erin didn't refuse, just letting Bran take her hand.
The two were silent, very tacitly understanding, and shook the rocking chair for a while. The brother and sister who came back from the martial arts field saw this scene, and they found that when the two villains held hands quietly, they were still quite cute.
