Act 113: Tonigel and the Young Lord (Part 1)

When the soldiers saw the young man straighten up, they hurried up to press him down, and they looked at their lord with inquiring eyes, and asked, "My lord, shall we take this fellow down?" ”

Brando looked at the young man. He knew it was Sir Minthai's second son, but the old gentleman had such an interesting son, "which made him feel a little funny."

He had already changed his mind and shook his head: "Let go of him." ”

Loosen? The soldiers were stunned and looked at each other.

"Loosen." Brando repeated.

Only then did the soldiers loosen the thick hemp rope tied to Caglis's hands, and the young man frowned, gritting his teeth and rubbing his wrists, "Although the soldiers didn't beat him up, they didn't necessarily treat him very politely."

He couldn't help frowning when he saw that there were a few more red marks on his snow-white wrists.

But the young man was more concerned about Brando's intentions than that. He looked up, stared at Brando with light gray eyes, looked at it for a moment and asked, "Are you really here?" ”

"You mean to say, mob leader?"

"Don't dare." The young man smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he was very surprised in his heart, and only then did Kargliss realize that the other party was just a young man about his own age. But not only is he proud of his swordsmanship, far surpassing him, "He is still the leader of such a large group of people."

He looked at Brando, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the previous ten years had been in vain, just like Pallas had told him in earnest, that nesting in this small place of Tonigel was ultimately limiting his own hands and feet.

"But I'm curious," asked Karglis, rubbing his wrist, "what are you letting me go?" ”

"If I say I want you to work for me, do you believe it?" Brando asked.

"I don't believe it." The young man shook his head: "Why should I play for you?" ”

"So what if I say, "I'm Griffithine?" Korkova? The secret envoy sent by Her Royal Highness Princess Odysphes to this place came here to establish a secret base in order to balance the Count of Denel, "Do you believe it?" ”

Now it wasn't just Karglis, even Curran on the side looked at Brando dumbfounded. The young man seemed to be completely unconvinced, and looked at Brando as if he were looking at a madman, but the old man's gaze seemed a little awake. He thought of Tobbs's relationship with the Corcova royal family, "and the more I thought about what Brando had done over the years, the more I felt that the words of this young man today might not be so unreliable."

At least part of it didn't lie.

"It's not funny at all," Calglis said, frowning, "but for the sake of your lord here, I'd say it's barely okay......"

Brando smiled slightly, and he took out a silver brooch from his arms: "This brooch is called the Silver Shield, and it is a token of the Royal Knights." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment: "How do I know if you are cheating"

Curlan was also a little skeptical, of course he had heard of the silver coat of arms, "but it is unknown whether the one in Brando's hand is genuine." Anyway, the deeper the old man's suspicions, the more he now felt that what Brando said might be part of the truth of the matter.

How else would that be so much, this apparently well-trained mob would have killed Grudin?

Brando put away the brooch, which was actually genuine, "It was sent with a private letter from Her Royal Highness the Princess." The letter was actually very simple: "The main thing is to tell him that the royal family admires young people like him, and nothing else."

It was just a routine reply, and the whole letter was leakless, and it was useless for Brando to hold this so-called personal letter from Her Royal Highness Princess Griffith.

But the young lord kept the letter carefully as a treasure, to which Antitina expressed great incomprehension: "Complaining about the pettiness of the royal family of Corkova is something that only a fool like him can not see."

But Brando couldn't see it, but the princess regent was the dream lover of their otaku, although as they grew older, most people eventually realized that this kind of love was just a youthful longing, "but the most sincere memories in their hearts can't let go."

Especially when the handwritten letter of Her Royal Highness the deceased princess was placed on his desk again, saying that he was not excited, "That must be a lie."

"Well, let's leave that at that," said Brando, "I've heard something about you, and I've heard that you were going north with a few servants to answer the call of Her Royal Highness the Princess to revive the Corcova dynasty?" ”

The movement of Karglis's hand stopped: "Looks like you know a lot." ”

"You're better than many people I've ever met, and Toniger can't limit your hands," Brando said, recalling in his mind what this young man had experienced in another part of history, "but alas, he didn't get anything."

It's no surprise that there were many such young people in Eruin, but not every one of these names eventually shines. The incompetent people naturally disappeared, and many more were not lucky, many people were killed on the way to Vlada and a robber was killed, monsters, cultists, and lords with bad intentions, and the countryside of Eruin was not safe in this era.

"It sounds like a mockery when it comes out of your mouth." The young man said with a frown.

"No", Brando shook his head: "I'm serious" How about it, would you like it? ”

"What do you mean?" Karglis was stunned.

"I'm missing an adjutant."

"Are you kidding?" The young man's eyes widened.

Brando shook his head: "I said" I mean it. I think your ability is also competent enough for this position, and the most important thing is that you have the will~"

"Wait," the young man interrupted, "I never promised. ”

"Then you are willing to stay in Toniguel for the rest of your life, miss this turbulent era, end up being a country lord, and end up being a bad old man?"

"Why do I sound like you're scolding my father around the corner?" The young man frowned and asked, not so much like a captive at this moment, but like a guest of Brando: "But why should I trust you?" ”

"I'll give you a chance."

"But it's not so easy to get off the ship when you get on the thief ship, I know," the young man said vigilantly, "if you want to convince me, you have to let me see some good, if the white wolf with empty gloves falls for you, won't it seem that I am a little too incompetent?" ”

When the young man said this, he was actually moved, he was not born to be a peaceful person, whether it was to join Her Royal Highness the princess, or to follow this young man today" He just hoped that he would not show that his father was so plain and lived his life.

The boldness in Brando's words made him feel that this young man might be able to achieve his dreams.

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

The courtyard fell silent, and the birds were silent."

Even Kuran felt that the question was a bit abrupt.

But Brando replied, "I have already said who I am." ”

"As for what I want to do," the young lord smiled, his smile meaning in the rare warm sunshine of a winter afternoon.

"Would you believe me if I said that I would like to press the old fellow to the ground and beat him hard with the beard of the Grand Duke of Anderk, and then go to the skeleton of Mardala to settle the debt?" ”

Curran looked at these two madmen, and finally felt as if he was indeed old, and he was so unafraid when he was with Tobus, and their regiment was the demon of the November War, which terrified all the enemies on the battlefield.

But after all, the times are different, and today is not as good as it was then.

The old swordsman looked at the young man with a look of eagerness, hurriedly dragged Brando aside, and said to him in a low voice, "Are you crazy, Brando? He's the son of Sir Mintai, "You've kidnapped him, and that old stubborn will look for you desperately, you have to think about it." ”

"Desperate?" Brando said angrily and amusefully, "Wait until he gets out of my dungeon first." ”

"You're not going to let him out?" Curran suddenly felt that this young man was a little too inauthentic, "On the one hand, he kidnapped the son of someone else who had worked hard for more than ten years, and on the other hand, he had to lock the other party in a dungeon, no matter how he thought about it, he was not very kind, "If you don't let the old sir come out, you might as well ask him." Brando gestured to Cagliss behind him.

The old swordsman glanced back at Calglis, and shook his head, Sir Mintai probably knew that his son was on the thief ship, and he probably didn't want to kill him. Then the young man will not be unaware of this, "if Brando tells him to slow down this matter for a while", the other party must have raised his hands in approval.

"Young people now", he looked at Brando a little helplessly.

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of that old knight with good food and drink, I'm very optimistic about Caglis, he will be great in the future."

Curran shook his head, "Brando, is what you said before true?" ”

"What?"

"Don't pretend to be garlic," said the old man viciously, "I mean the princess's business." ”

"Fake."

"Get out!" Curran kicked over, but Brando was on guard. He shook his head with a smile and replied, "Master Curlan" This matter is classified even if it is true, how could I say it so casually"

Kuran was stunned for a moment, and then it occurred to him that there seemed to be such a possibility. But this young man has done too many things that are true and false, and he can't believe it, so he can only keep his doubts in his heart. But Brando looked at the old swordsman and interrupted his train of thought: "Old man, are you interested in traveling?" ”

"Tourism?" Kuran was stunned for a moment, looking at this young man strangely, thinking to himself what kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?! ~!
