"This is the crystal cluster?"
Princess Griffiin saw Brando turn over the gray-robed man's body, revealing an amethyst skin under the cut robe, and she silently looked up, only to see that the cut on the corpse's neck was like broken glass, and the whole crystallized without a trace of blood oozing.
"This is the crystal cluster," Brando paused at the corpse's side for a moment before replying, "Some of the living creatures in the magic crystals have been twisted by the influence of the Magical Moon. This type of monster is uncommon, and can occasionally be found in the Magic Crystal Vein and the Crystal Forest. β
"But it looks like a humanoid," Princess Griffiin looked at the corpse quietly, "and what does it matter?" Mr. Brando, do you know what's going on in Swallowburg? She stood outside the door, not wanting to get the blood that was everywhere in the houseβthough the body of the beast had long since been dragged out for disposal, and Mademoiselle de Countess claimed to the soldiers of the Harbour Guard that it was a demon who had escaped from the war of Ampesel who had attacked her brother, and showed the soldiers the corpse of the gray-robed man, and those present could not help but feel sorry for the terrible sight of Ackel, and since such cases had recently occurred in the port of Ampesel, no one suspected anything for a while.
"He was a human when he was born." Brando replied without looking back, picking up a crystal shard, "It's just that crystallization has made him like this." β
"Crystallization?" Princess Griffiin raised her head slightly, and looked at him with beautiful silver eyes.
"I saw this case when I was learning about the scrolls. Some creatures that live in crystal veins. Gradually, he went crazy, crystals grew on his body, and he became crazy and began to attack humans. Brando stared at the crystal piece, and the swirling light fell a narrow spot of light on his face: "This is the earliest case of crystallization, it happened in the wilderness of the four realms. β
"It sounds like a demonization." Her Royal Highness replied with a frown.
"This is demonization," Brando nodded, but sighed again, "Because the magic in the crystal veins is abundant." It is more likely to cause the occurrence of mana erosion. But crystallization is very special, and no one knows why there is such a thing as crystal clusters, theoretically. The existence of any species in Vajnd has its continuity, and only the history of crystal clusters is blank. There has been some research on them, but it is still unclear what the background is. β
Her Royal Highness the Princess is rightfully because 'we' are talking about the Wizard of the Black Tower. But in fact, Brando subconsciously used the player's pronoun. In Amber Sword, the plot party has rightfully investigated the crystal clusters, but as Brando said, the investigation continues until the era of lost glory, and then it comes to an abrupt end
Some people believe that the Crystal Cluster hides a huge secret, but more experienced players assert that the origin of the Crystal Cluster may only be a mystery until the official history before the Lost Era is further revealed. However, it is not easy to trace the history before the Lost Age, and one of the main sources of information for players is actually Buga's library, but the history before the Lost Era is also unattainable knowledge for the wizards of Buga.
Where do crystal clusters come from?
Brando didn't really care about that, he only cared about why they suddenly appeared in Eruin. There is no record of this in history at all. The history of the North seems to be undergoing some changes, and it seems that it has begun to deviate from the trajectory of his cognition.
After listening to Brando's answer, Princess Griffiin was silent for a while. But after a while, she asked again, "But Dilferi also said that there is no crystal forest near Yanbao. β
"So that's where I wonder." Brando replied.
Princess Griffiin frowned uneasily. She looked at Brando, "Why do you say that?" β
"Because I found similar marks on Aker's body, some crystals growing on the back of his neck, but under the blood stain no one else noticed." Brando turned his head and looked at him. He replied in the affirmative, "That would also explain why this guy has suddenly become so mad, because dark magic magnifies the evil in people's hearts." This is not an isolated case, there must be crystallization disease spreading near Yanbao. Baron Dalle may have been corrupted. β
The princess's brows furrowed even deeper: "How can this be, what do you think will happen to Yanbao, what should we do?" β
"It's certainly not a good thing, and there's nothing you can do about it for the time being, except to keep it a secret from Miss Dilferry, at least until we're done with the chaos in the north. Your Royal Highness Princess, you also understand the distance between Yanbao and Ampesel, and we can't and can't interfere with Yanbao," Brando didn't choose to vent all the uneasiness in his heart, because some things were just a guess for him, not to mention that he couldn't explain his prediction for the future.
He paused for a moment, but only reminded, "Besides, Her Royal Highness doesn't want any accidents to happen to Dilferry." β
Princess Griffiin sighed faintly: "When I was a child, Dilferrey was my best friend, she treated me with no other people's care, and I always treated her as my own sister. But I couldn't help her at all, and if anything happened to the Earl, she would be heartbroken. When I was a child, I met the Earl of Swallowburgh, and he was a good father, and Deerferry must have loved him very much. β
The half-elf girl's tone was a little weak, and Brando knew that she remembered her father, and the historical Obergo VII was extremely fond of his daughter, and it can be said that Princess Griffien once had a happy family. But he had not yet thought of a word to comfort the princess, who had already hardened, and Princess Griffiin took a breath and replied:
"We need to get rid of the chaos in the North, Mr. Brando."
Brando was slightly stunned, probably not expecting the princess to recover so quickly; In fact, he was not good at politics, but fortunately, this was a 'historical problem', and he thought for a while before saying: "Your Royal Highness, the key to solving the chaos in the north is not us, but the Temple of Fire. The Sanctuary of Fire wants the nobles of the north to put pressure on us. But presumably, the Cruz people are clearly not happy about a war at the moment, it is just another game between the two sides. β
Princess Griffi's eyes narrowed slightly, she looked particularly charming, but a cold light in her squinted eyes showed a certain understanding in the princess's heart. She understood this, of course, but what annoyed her was that the Flame Sanctuary was clearly playing with fire, and that the nobles of the north were not a dog raised by the Cruz. Instead, they are a pack of wolves. These short-sighted beasts could upset the balance of power at any time for the slightest gain, and the Cruz arrogantly thought they could control it. But in fact, none of them can control it.
But she had to worry about that.
Endless compromise is impossible, and Brando assures her that this time she will never make any more concessions to the northern nobles, which is actually the princess's own idea. First, integrate the forces in the south that are close to the royal family of Corcova. And then with the momentum of thunder, the entire north bowed its head.
But what price did it take for the Templars to support her, those hateful Cruz people, who knew that Eruin's stability was what they needed, but they still wanted greater good.
Ever since Ampesel's War, she had been trying to find a way to limit the Temple's influence in Eruin, which was actually a Brando's idea, but the Flame Sanctuary was clearly aware of it.
She did not wish to make concessions on that point.
But Princess Griffiin suddenly remembered something, and she raised her head and said to Brando, "Mr. Brando, can you wait for me here for a moment?" β
"What's wrong?" Brando.
"You help me deal with this matter," replied Her Highness the Princess, "and I would like Count Yanira Su to investigate the matter." Yan Castle was on the edge of his territory, and he must have thought of a way. β
That's a good idea. However, Brando always felt that Her Royal Highness the Princess was hiding something, but before he could ask, Her Royal Highness the Princess had already walked downstairs. Brando looked at the corpse at his feet, and in desperation, he could only check the relics of the gray-robed man. Contains bits and pieces, but no objects have been found that can prove the identity of the other party.
He straightened up, and heard a familiar voice behind himβit was supposed to be the voice of Dearferry's wheelchair. He turned around, and sure enough, he saw the maid pushing the count's lady in the doorway.
"Sent those people away?" Brando put down the bits and pieces in his hand and looked at her with some sympathy, he could not imagine how hard it would be for the Countess to go through such a thing. But presumably it will leave a shadow in the future.
Dilferi nodded, the people of the Hong Kong Guard were quite good, after all, all the people present were nobles, and there was also a princess of the kingdom. Her claims are conclusive, the evidence is abundant, and the demons have been active in the port of Ampesel for a while, and no one has raised any doubts.
After all, no one can say whether there is a Crystal Man in the demons, and it will definitely not be a human being anyway.
"I knew that Ackel was notorious, but I didn't expect him to be so crazy, Nia just told me something and blamed me for not protecting her." Dilferi sighed guiltily.
Brando had more or less guessed something, and when the knightess had made that request before, he had actually guessed that there might be a ZΓ i festival in it.
But after all, this was someone else's housework, and he could only nod awkwardly.
"But Mr. Brando, I am well aware of the character of Aker and Baron Dal, and I am worried about my father, though Her Highness the Princess may say......" asked Duerferet with some apprehension. Obviously, this is the question that concerns her most about it.
Although Princess Griffiin had comforted her with her attitude about the Temple, the Countess was not stupid, and she thought about it, and felt that Brando's speculation was closer to the possibility. Otherwise, her brother would not have appeared in Ampesel, after all, Yanbao was still a certain distance away from this port, and from the time of her brother's departure, the war in Ampesel should not have happened at that time, let alone these rumors at the moment.
Brando looked at her and sighed, "Dilfiβ"
"You're lying to me again, aren't you?" Dilferry stared at Brando and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Brando." β
"I ......" Brando was embarrassed for a moment, thinking to himself what I was going to lie to you again. However, after thinking about it, it was really hard for him to be sure if he had lied before, after all, it was a big lie about his own background, not to mention that he seemed unlikely to tell the truth when he invaded the eldest lady's manor before.
He thought for a moment, and replied, "Dilferry, may I call you that?" As for your father's situation, I actually have some analysis, and I don't know if you would like to hear it. β
"Of course," said the count, nodding softly, not knowing which question to answer, "you say it's all right, Mr. Brando." β
"There's a good chance your father has had an accident." Brando replied.
Dilferrey let out a soft sigh, and Brando saw her grasp the armrest of her wheelchair, her hands turning white from overexertion.
"You want to go back to the territory immediately?" Brando asked.
"Of course," replied Duerferry, with a light breath, "Mr. Brando, may I ask your family, that your father is in danger, will you not be moved?" β
Brando shook his head: "Of course I won't, but I won't build yΓ¬ for you to go back." β
"Why?"
"It's very simple, your father's possible situation now is either that he is imprisoned, or that he has been killed." Brando saw that Dilferry's face was getting worse and worse, and hurriedly continued: "In the first case, once you return to the territory, your father will lose the value of saving zΓ i. β
"And in the second case, do you think that your current physical condition can return to the territory and avenge your father? It's nothing more than an extra loot for your uncle. β
After Brando finished speaking, he stared at the countess, for fear that the other party would not be able to accept it and suddenly faint. But Dilferry showed extraordinary strength, and after a while she replied, "If I die, will Mr. Brando avenge me?" β
"Of course," but Brando shook his head again, "but what's the point, if you think revenge will solve the problem, why not take revenge yourself?" β
"Revenge in person?" Dilferrey was slightly stunned, and then became excited: "Can I?" Can I take revenge with my own hands like this? Mr. Brando, do you have any idea? β
Brando nodded: "Dilferry, you are just overdrawn in your life, and your current physical condition is not irreparable." Besides, the Earl is not necessarily killed, but as long as you live for one day, he has a chance to be rescued. β
Mademoiselle Countess fell silent.
Brando saw her take a soft breath, "I see, can you give me a moment to think about it, Mr. Brando?" β
"Anytime," replied Brando, "but I will also sue you, Miss Countess, that I will not let you go back to Swallow Castle alone, whether you agree or not." Believe me, I'm responsible for the heroes of the port of Ampesel. β
"Mr. Brando, you ......" Dilferi couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you, Mr. Brando, you are too much. β
"I've been excessive." Brando replied without blushing and without a heartbeat.
And it was at this time that he saw Princess Griffiin walking back from outside. The princess seemed to have finished the message, she glanced at the two of them, and although she had heard the conversation between the two before, she did not express any opinion, but only said to Brando:
"Mr. Brando, can you accompany me to meet someone?"
"See someone, now?"
Her Royal Highness nodded.
Brando was stunned for a moment, and he vaguely guessed that the person Her Royal Highness wanted him to see might have something to do with the breakthrough in the north. At present, only this matter can mobilize the mind of Her Royal Highness the princess, and only by solving the chaos in the north, whether it is Yanbao or the future of this kingdom, it can be easily solved.
"Who?" He asked.
"Wood Priest."
