In the open wilderness, a long line slowly marched along the road to East Sackland—civilians with their bags on their backs, wizards with wands, merchants dragging wagons and rickshaws......

While reluctantly looking at the city behind them, they followed the pace of the advancing team, and their raised eyes stared at the dragon and the floating city in the air, not daring to leave for a moment.

The Knights of Byrne and the Boehsmen with their swallow-tailed guns constantly patrolled the flanks of the procession, maintaining order while not forgetting to remind them that as long as they arrived in East Sackland and Byrne, His Royal Highness Brandon and the Duke of Loren would never leave everyone behind, and would definitely find a way to accommodate them.

They can only believe that they can only believe that they will follow the banner of the gold lion on a black background and the iron crown, because that is the "symbol" that can finally bring them a sense of security and security.

And Brandon... Perhaps because he was in a position where he was still recovering, and perhaps because of some kind of "innate sense of responsibility" awakening, he stepped out of the floating city, and walked down the dragon back of the dragon Milasis, riding instead of a carriage, always appearing in a place where everyone in the team could see.

Count Eckert, who knew the reason very well, was also very cooperative in doing his own job and putting the leadership of this team in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Thanks to the cooperation of many parties, this "retreating" team did not collapse because of the low morale in the slightest, but grew larger and larger - after leaving the Ebolden border, it even absorbed many refugees from East and West Sakland.

Because some time ago, a series of uncooperative actions of the imperial nobles and bureaucrats against the emperor's conscription caused the rich Sackland to be in chaos, full of deserters who were "forced to fall into the grass", as well as caravans and villages that were robbed.

Brandon immediately changed his plans - he was going to use the opportunity to reorganize East Sackland, to resettle refugees, put down rebellions, and eradicate some (mostly) of the old aristocracy who were hostile to him.

In order to achieve this goal, Brandon first bought off the free nobles of the "Ebon Remnants", wealthy merchants and even the only remaining leader of the mercenary group, "Silver Blood".

He promised that as long as they maintained their authority in the ranks, they would be able to have a "place" in the aristocracy of the Prince of East Sackland in the future.

Naturally, these "former aristocrats", who have lost their cities, wealth and even status, have no choice at all.

Immediately afterwards, Brandon immediately wrote a letter, asking a legion cavalry beside him to send a horse to the Broken Mountain Fortress, and ordered the deputy commander of the Broken Mountain Fortress Drexis as the royal brother to change the three new legions to the Broken Mountain to prepare to go south to "quell the rebellion", and be on call at any time.

Anyway, these three legions were originally the "expeditionary legions" that Brandon brought to Boe, and the legions and soldiers definitely listened to Brandon more, and talking to Drexis was just to save face and not leave a handle for others.

The more than 100,000 "remnants of Ebolden" and the refugees who fled behind him were the foundation of his rule, and the three legions that were rotated to the fortress of Broken Mountain were the swords used to eradicate the opponents.

Brandon De Salion... He didn't plan to have only an empty title, he wanted to be the real "Prince of East Sackland".

.......................................

"How's it going, are you alright?"

Turning his gaze to Isaac, who was sitting on the ground against the parapet, the black-haired wizard couldn't help but speak.

After "confessing" his "secret", the little wizard with a blank face turned away coldly, and alone entered the only laboratory in the Horn Castle Floating City, and locked the door.

Only Isaac was left in shock, sitting outside the door in despair, looking in a trance, almost losing his mind.

"It's okay... No, it's not bad at all, but it's not that bad, but it's ......," Isaac muttered in a low voice, incoherent.

Taking a deep breath and taking a few deep breaths in a row, it took half a minute to regain composure: "It's true that I'm not normal, but... It is purely an abnormality in consciousness. ”

Loren nodded silently in understanding.

"No, Loren, you don't understand!" Isaac shook his head vigorously, his expression darkened to the extreme: "It's not just that I've hurt my best friend - it's not simple, it's excessive. ”

"But, but the impact of this incident on me... It's not just about hurting a friend, digging up a secret!"

Clenching his teeth, Isaac's expression was almost tangled: "In the past, I have always regarded Ain... Or that Ain is treated like an ordinary alchemist, a very ordinary wizard, so my attitude towards her is no different from that of ordinary little potatoes. ”

"Does she have some accomplishments? Yes, is she good in the industry? Yes, does she have a chance to go down in history for something... Probably?"

"All in all, although I admit that she is not an ordinary person, she is still mediocre and has no intelligence to speak of, and there is only a little wisdom to show off - don't think I'm scolding, I'm a little subjective, but the facts are the facts. ”

Well, that's not lying... The only "geniuses" who can make Isaac admit that he is inferior are probably those genius wizards from the era of the Dragon Kingdom.

The corners of the black-haired wizard's mouth showed a wry smile that was not easy to detect.

"But now, she's a witch... It's all different, can you understand?" Gritting his teeth, Isaac's expression became more and more excited: "This makes everything different, do you understand?!"

"She hides her gender and does what many alchemists can't, and her talent makes prejudice against witches a joke. ”

"She proved by her actions that one group of people is no worse than another, and that our past prejudice against witches is extremely wrong - women can be witches just as much, and they can surpass the vast majority. ”

"Her accomplishments... No, no, no, it should be that she represents a meaning that surpasses all achievements, and her experiences and adventures are legendary in themselves!"

"Logan in a hat, the Dragon Empress... There are also many great men who have proved the stupidity of worldly prejudice with their actions, even if they add her to the place, they will not be inferior in the slightest. ”

"Even if I turn things around, even if I can make those little potatoes amazed by my achievements ten thousand times, it can't compare to her slap in the face. ”

Loren was shocked.

Really shocked.

It was the first time he had heard Isaac say so much, in order to acknowledge the brilliance and fruitfulness of another person, not to boast or show off his accomplishments.

He... Will you stand in the perspective of others and think about problems for others?

Even now, he has the illusion of falling into a dream.

"So......" Swallowing his throat, the black-haired wizard spoke in a tone that was still a little unconvinced, "You understand now, why haven't we told you about it all this time?"

"This thing... What does the current problem have to do with this?" Isaac turned his head abruptly and looked at Loren with a stunned expression:

"Lorren, don't you understand? Sooner or later, Ain's true identity will be revealed, and he may become the most famous of the three of us. ”

"When the time comes, I, as her best friend, hurt her so deeply, it is easy to establish the image of a supervillain in the hearts of the little potatoes in the future, then my achievements and masterpieces will be ignored - that's the point, are you sleepy?!"

Sure enough, I really thought too much......

The black-haired wizard tugging at the corners of his mouth rolled his eyes in his heart.

But just as he was about to say something, he made a "snap!" sound, and Isaac held his shoulder.

"I hurt her, it's my fault. Isaac's eyes widened, and he said seriously, "So, you can't be the second person to hurt her, Loren—or she'll be hurt by her best friend." ”

Well?

Loren's face was inexplicable.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to hurt Ain, uh, at least not on my own initiative......"

"No, Loren, you've misunderstood me again. Isaac frowned, "I find it difficult to get to the point when you're chatting." ”

yes, if it's someone who follows your Isaac's line of thought, I'm afraid it's all ......

"When I say harm, it's on another level. Isaac shook his head and continued without waiting for Loren to speak, "I don't care who you choose in the end, but you can't hurt her anyway. ”

"Choose, choose?"

"I said, what kind of look do you have—I, Isaac Grantham, am a young and very normal man, and of course I know and study the same type of women, which is our nature as a species. ”

Isaac raised his eyebrows, and his expression was very serious: "Ain's many actions are completely in line with a young woman's show of affection for the opposite sex—excessive attention, helping as much as she can, and extraordinary tolerance. ”

"She helped you again and again, rescued you from the brink of half-death again and again, promised you unreasonable excessive demands again and again, and took the initiative to stand up and help you again and again... She saved you this time, and it seems to me that her affection for you couldn't be more obvious!"

"Well, it's almost like Lena de Salion has a good opinion of me. ”

"Yes, of course I know how difficult a person I am, and I know that not every woman can be unconditionally tolerant of me - so I know that Lena is as good as Al Yin is to you. Isaac raised an eyebrow:

This is a very reasonable, and rigorously inferential judgment. ”

Loren was speechless.

"But I also know that this kind of thing is not for one person to decide—as far as I know, you seem to have a good relationship with that female relative of the Red Blood Castle, and she has helped you a lot, and she is also a very healthy young woman, both physically and mentally......"

"Well, there's the Duchess of Boi, Salika Jonah, who seems to like you too, and you're both dukes, and the elf of the Grove Forest, whom I met once, and who seems to have a good relationship with you, and the little girl who always appears out of nowhere in the Corona family, and... Huh?"

Isaac muttered to himself, and was suddenly stunned: "Holy Cross and his grandmother, how many girls do you like?"

"This ......"

"Wait!" Suddenly stunned, Isaac's expression became very exaggerated: "I remember that you also have a good relationship with Lusen and his brother Wirtz, and that Highness Brandon, you... You don't have that kind of love that goes against nature, do you?!"

"......" Loren Turin.

"In any case, I won't interfere with your emotional problems, but ......" With a serious expression, Isaac patted Loren on the shoulder:

"You and Al in are my best friends, I can't just watch one of you hurt the other and be indifferent, I will definitely stand up, just as you took the initiative to stand up for Al in today. ”

"But... Perhaps I will do something more radical than yours, and I pride myself on my calmness and sanity, but unfortunately I am still a mortal with feelings. ”

"I still feel distressed, angry and happy about things, even though I know they shouldn't be. ”

"So don't hurt my friend, my friend. ”

The silent black-haired wizard pursed his lips, not knowing how to explain.

No, it's not that it's not clear - Isaac said it clearly enough, and the one who really doesn't have a clue is himself.

In the end, he could only nod: "...... I understand. ”

"That's good!"

Isaac's expression immediately became a little cheerful, and he shrugged his shoulders and turned his back to the black-haired wizard: "Since you have been persuaded by me, then I should also go to Ain to apologize." ”

"Actually, all I was thinking about before you came out was how to apologize to her - I was going to talk to her about the new discoveries in the Wizard's Tower, but Lusen gave me a particularly bold idea, and he asked me... Huh?"

Slightly stunned, Isaac looked back in confusion: "Lusen, I don't seem to have seen anyone else all day." ”

"Are you asking me?" Loren spread his hands, "I woke up two quarters of an hour ago!"

"He told me some interesting things and ideas, and if we're lucky, we might be able to make history again - of course, compared to the Floating City and the Lightsaber......

Isaac, who was halfway through his words, suddenly remembered something and slapped his head suddenly: "Ah... I almost forgot, this guy told me to keep it a secret from you!"

Secrecy?

The black-haired wizard raised his eyebrows, his expression a little inexplicable.

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about this matter for now, in case all the way Sien himself mentions it, you pretend not to know... Well, I didn't tell you anything anyway, that's all. ”

"You don't know anything, you just know that your friend Isaac Grantham is going to make new history again!" (https:)
