Chapter 432: Death's Scythe and Rose
After Elizabeth finished speaking, Brienne's face showed a complicated expression, neither excitement nor disappointment, but a kind of relieved relief and ruthlessness mixed with it.
It was finally confirmed that Little Bell was at the Imperial Academy of Magic, indicating that their previous suspicions were correct, and although Elizabeth never saw her again, Brienne had a hunch that she would definitely appear on the "Night of a Thousand Laws".
The blonde knight's mind came to mind the image of killing the shrimp lord in "Fetenburg", and the other party once said that Egrim and another mage under him, named Stryksen, hurriedly left with the little bell, saying that they were looking for a place to control her with magic, probably for this day!
As a believer in the "Lord of Sophistry" Tzeentch, he is a bit far-sighted.
It's a pity that Elizabeth and Little Bell didn't have direct contact, so they couldn't tell if her current state was really brainwashed by those chaos lackeys with evil spells, so she let the other party drive her.
If that's the case, she can't simply rush to the top at that time, because often the caster of this spell will have a back hand in order to prevent the casting target from getting out of control and protect her own safety, maybe a single thought can make the little bell's head explode.
That's why Brienne didn't think about cooperating with the Empire until now, and she informed the witch hunters of all this through Fitandila's channels.
The bloodthirsty butchers must have been very interested in these heretics, and even if the information wasn't so accurate, they would have been happy to make a big deal about the eight-year-old magic academy feast.
If the whole thing is true, not only will the witch hunters be the heroes who will save the Empire, but the fallen mages will also make the Imperial Academy of Magic fall into disrepute, once again becoming synonymous with indelibility and danger.
This is undoubtedly what the witch hunters, and indeed the entire imperial state religion, dream of.
It's just that Brienne didn't choose this path, even though it seemed that it would make it easier to achieve her goals.
Don't forget, he still has Ram in his possession, so he can easily gain the trust of the witch hunters, and can reap some other benefits, such as the prestige of the witch hunter and the state church, and the praise of the Imperial government and the emperor himself, but the problem is that it will put Little Bell in danger.
Because once this information is shared with others, the control of the whole thing is out of her hands, and Brienne can't guarantee the safety of the little bell, no matter how much she stresses it, the witch hunters won't care, after all, in their eyes, a small one-ring mage may not even be as good as a cockroach on the ground.
The ass decides the head, just like the honorable Emperor, in the eyes of Brienne, is nothing, so she does not hesitate to choose to act on her own, and even if necessary, she does not mind taking advantage of the chaos of the Emperor's assassination to achieve her own goal of rescuing Little Bell.
A murderous look flashed in the blonde knight's eyes.
If you want to save the little bell, you still have to rely on yourself, no matter who it is, as long as you stop yourself, as long as you hinder yourself, you are all enemies!
The brief conversation with Elizabeth was soon over, and her task was the same, continuing to keep an eye on the little bell's movements, but not to force it.
In Fitandila's words, she has done well, everything goes with the flow, and she takes care of herself.
After saying that, the female city lord did not show much reluctance, although she already regarded Elizabeth as her own relative, but she knew that as long as they were strong enough, they would always meet again, and instead of spending time grieving, it was better to hurry up and improve themselves.
Go back and learn more about that mysterious golden light.
On the contrary, Brienne was unusual, touched the little girl's smooth head, and said something a little strange.
"Elizabeth, the road ahead is up to you, and though it is hard and full of thorns, I believe that you can go far, far more than you and all others imagine, and remember that even in a gloomy and cold cemetery, the tough rose can absorb enough nutrients and bloom brightly."
The bald girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and didn't say anything, just kept the words firmly in her heart.
Elisabeth von Draken, Brienne's name was familiar to her when she first heard it, and when combined with this innate talent, she quickly remembered that she had saved a legend who would shine brightly in the future.
Rose of the Graveyard, the lady in black of Nunn, the guardian of the living and the dead, and a mage who rides a crimson dragon.
She was one of only two Death Supreme Mages in the Empire, and she set a record for the fastest promotion to the Supreme Mage in the Empire's history.
Coincidentally, just before Brienne crossed over, Elizabeth appeared in the next expansion "Throne of Chaos" announced by the game.
This backstory will be familiar to Warhammer players.
Riding a crimson dragon, the Death Archmage almost single-handedly slayed one of the four gods of chaos and the most outstanding Chosen Champion of Nurgle, the "Father of Decay", the "Lord of Maggots" Tamur Khan, to defend "Nunn" from destruction.
But she also paid a terrible price for this, losing the possibility of promotion to the Sanctuary for the rest of her life, someone once said that if it weren't for this battle, Elizabeth would have been able to reach the Sanctuary in ten years at most, and then the time of the end would come, and the maelstrom would be lifted, and the bound person of the "Wind of Death" would not necessarily have to choose Nagash, who was EQ offline, leading to the final failure.
Of course, these are unverifiable cannons, but at least they show that Elizabeth's talent and strength have been recognized.
As for what heights the little girl in front of Brienne can reach in the future, no one can guarantee, not even herself.
She didn't mind waiting for the rotting and foul-smelling army of Nurgle to pass by the "Frontier Prince's Domain" in the future, and then take the first step to trample the maggot named Tamur Khan.
After the three of them finished speaking, they left the carriage and returned to the room, and Vigo, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed up and handed over two invitations to the "Night of a Thousand Laws", which Brienne gladly accepted.
The crystal mage was finally able to observe this beautiful blonde lady up close, the last time he parted with the other party's shadow, he was deeply in his mind, and when he met again today, he found that she had a touch of holiness on her body, and her dress was changed from the original black leather armor to a new set of chain mail, and the polished metal armor matched with a dazzling blonde hair and tall figure, which made her look even more heroic, just like the Valkyrie on the battlefield.
Thinking about it this way, the introverted Vigo is even a little ashamed of himself,
However, to his surprise, Brienne did not leave immediately after the invitation of her subordinates, but took the initiative to ask him a few questions, and the young man who was called "the sickle and rose of death" with Elizabeth in the future was flattered and quickly answered them one by one.
It's all questions related to the Imperial Academy of Magic, and if there is any uncertainty, he will take the initiative to ask his companion next to him, the old-fashioned middle-aged woman.
The conversation didn't last long, but it was enough for Viggo to linger, and even though the two ladies had left, he was still staring at the vanishing doorway.
"Don't look at it! It's been more than ten minutes! I can't catch up if I want to! ”
The middle-aged woman's voice was playful, but her face was still expressionless.
"yes...... Pursue?! What to chase! Miss McGonagall, we have something to do, so let's go back first. ”
Viggo was poked in the heart, and with a flushed face, he pulled Elizabeth and fled.
A slight smile tugged at the corner of the mage's mouth by the name of McGonagall, but it quickly flickered, leaving only muttering to herself.
"Those two people, why did they ask about Strykerson?"
PS: I'm back, I'm sorry to stop for so long, there was an accident at home, and then there was closed training at work, thank you for always supporting me!
