Act 162 The Secret Sword Wind Dance
The surprise in Brando's heart lasted until he heard a soft 'ding' sound, and he suddenly came to his senses to see the NV God of War of the Cruz people knocking off the short sword in Akane's hand with a cold face.
The dagger fell into the grass—
The red-haired young NV raised her head, she held her right wrist with one hand, and stared at the old NV without saying a word, this is the second time she has suffered at the hands of the other party, especially the other party's attitude of looking down on people makes her very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that the lord was still in the other party's hands, she looked at Veronica with hatred.
But Veronica didn't say anything, and she dragged Brando backwards and plunged into the grass, regardless of whether Akane was still following behind.
"Veronica NV, you're not very polite like this-" Brando was grabbed by a hand on the shoulder, as if he was clamped by a steel tong, and his whole body couldn't move-although being dragged by the dignified Imperial NV God of War in the grass was quite a special experience, in the past, if someone was so 'intimate' contact with Veronica in the game, he would immediately be flattered and run to the forum to post.
But now Brando doesn't think there's anything to brag about.
Veronica dragged him to the depths of the grass as if she hadn't heard him, and then turned around and said coldly, "Mr. Brando, only by surviving on the battlefield can you have a chance to talk about politeness." ”
As soon as Veronica finished speaking, her hand was released, and Brando suddenly felt that she had regained control of her body. He took a breath and grinned on his shoulder, thinking to himself how strong this old woman was.
"Alright, where are Faina?" Veronica asked.
"Sister Faina and Ser Ehrman left at the beginning of the Wolf Plague," he replied with a nonchalant face, and in fact it was not entirely a lie—if the 'Wolf Plague began' I meant within a moment of the start of the Black Wolf's attack on the Wall of Flowers.
Veronica looked at Brando, didn't speak, she put one hand under her cloak. The subtle gesture didn't escape Brando's eyes, and he thought there must be something like a lie detection gem there.
It's easy for the average person to overlook these unobtrusive details, but for game-tested players, tricks of all kinds are nothing new.
"You didn't kill them?" Veronica asked, frowning.
Brando took a breath, and he finally confirmed Veronica's reason for the action just now - this NV man was here for Faina.
This means that she hasn't met the withered lord yet.
He looked overhead. The fog was slowly spreading over the forest, which meant that the valley would soon become unsafe.
"Why should I kill them, I have no reason to provoke a war." Brando withdrew his gaze, he had completely calmed down, and looked at Veronica with dark brown eyes.
Veronica breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she suddenly remembered the aristocratic daughter from Eruin beside Brando, who had answered the same answer, and she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Can you take me to them, Mr. Brando?"
"I'm afraid this can't be" Brando flatly refused, Faina had already been taken by the withered lord Andelsa, and both Rono and Ehrman were dead, and there was nowhere to be found, no one knew this better than him.
What's more, he has more important tasks to complete, and it is impossible for him to waste time on finding people.
"You know very well, Veronica NV," Brando replied, "I am not responsible for the disappearance of Viscount Ehrman and Sister Faina. ”
Veronica was noncommittal about this answer, she just stared at Brando, as if trying to read the true intention in the other person's eyes.
The atmosphere was a bit dreary for a while.
It was at this time that the grass made a soft 'whoosh', and Akane separated the grass and followed, and she saw that Brando was confronting Veronica, and after being slightly startled, she planned to walk to Brando's side.
But Akane didn't expect that as soon as she moved, a cold long sword was across her throat.
Veronica pressed her sword against Akane's neck.
"What do you mean by that?" Brando's eyes jumped, and he looked at Veronica in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, young man." Veronica replied coldly, "If you don't agree, I'm afraid I'll have to take your companion with me." ”
"Is this a threat?"
Brando took a breath.
The empire's NV god of war is known for her integrity and uprightness in history, and she has a relationship with the NV warrior god Freya who is also a teacher and friend, but she didn't expect that one day she would use her sword to blackmail two juniors; Brando looked at Veronica's face that even looked a little indifferent, and then realized that he had underestimated the importance of the Xiao princess of the Flower Leaf Collar in the heart of the imperial NV god of war.
"Veronica, as you can see, the demons that have appeared in the forest are invading this area, and I have been entrusted by the druids to go to the center of the Ring of Trade Winds to reforge order in order to prevent the Green Tower from destroying the wolf's mouth." He replied, "As a descendant of the King of Flame, you should be well aware of the consequences if the demon chao is not controlled—"
"What does that have to do with me, I'm a nobleman of the empire, not a saint who saves the world?" Veronica's eyebrows were raised, filled with the majesty of a legion leader.
"But it's not your will to give up saving more people for the sake of one person, right?" Brando looked at Veronica and replied, "Maybe Sister Faina Xiao is the only heir of Grand Duke Hanaba, but here, her life is not much more noble than others. ”
"You're right," Veronica sighed, but she shook her head, "But there's no point, you should know who I am." ”
She grabbed Akane's shoulder, making Shao NV feel pain and couldn't help frowning. "Then I'm sorry, since you don't want to, then I have to take your companion with me, so that you can follow."
"Forgive me—" Brando replied in a deep voice.
Originally, the gray sword Saint Mephistopheles, who came to trouble him for some reason, made him very dissatisfied, and Veronica's unreasonable attitude at this time really ignited the anger in Brando's heart.
Since the negotiation broke down, he didn't need to endure it anymore, and directly lowered his head, and the sword of the earth in his hand had already drawn a dark sword light and stabbed at Veronica - in front of Veronica, whose strength was far superior to him, only by striking first could he take the lead.
But Brando's decisiveness did not surprise Veronica, and after the battle at the Centaur Bazaar, she knew that the young man's character would never give in lightly. As soon as Brando drew his sword, it was exactly what she expected.
"I can't help myself." The empire's NV god of war snorted lightly, and casually slashed his sword at the sword of the earth in Brando's hand.
In Brando's opinion, this casual sword was more like a sword curtain, and he didn't think much about it, so he directly threw his hand back and put it on the ground and actually pressed it to the ground to face Veronica.
His sword slashed at Veronica's feet instead, not to maim the Empire's NV god of war with a single sword, but to retreat so that Veronica could let Akane go.
Veronica was obviously slightly surprised by Brando's reaction, her sword had already used the inheritance of the Blue Sword Saint through the ages-Sword Veil, but she didn't expect that the first shot would still be predicted by Brando.
How high is this guy's swordsmanship talent?
It was too late to change her moves, and Veronica had to let go of Akane and retreat, but she still had to pay the price for Brando, and as she retreated, she raised her hand and swung a sword qi to hit Brando's blade.
'Dang' made a crisp sound, almost like a real two swords colleging.
At that moment, Brando felt that it was not a sword qi but a dragon that was fencing with him, and the power that responded from Veronica's sword qi was almost unstoppable, and before he could react, his entire body was swept away like a cannonball.
Brando slammed into the sand and felt dizzy for a moment. However, he was not surprised by this result, and he immediately got up, just in time to see Akane roll away from Veronica.
It's a pity that although the red-haired young NV's reaction is fast, it is still too slow compared to Veronica's speed, and the NV Juggernaut retreats, and then immediately grows up and tries to catch the fleeing Akane.
She had only taken a step forward and rushed behind Akane. Akane gritted her teeth and pulled out the dagger to try to resist, but Veronica didn't even look at it, so she casually hit the dagger in Akane's hand, and then grabbed Akane on the shoulder again.
Naturally, Brando couldn't let her get her wish.
The young lord didn't think about it, and directly threw the sword of the earth in his hand at Veronica. The Earth Sword drew a straight line in midair, bringing up a row of spikes that protruded from the ground and stabbed straight at Veronica.
Veronica frowned, and could only step back to avoid the edge of the Earth Sword, allowing the sword to flash in front of her with rows of rock thorns.
But as soon as she stopped, she didn't expect Brando to unleash a white crow sword qi with his hand into a sword to form a whirlwind, and this sword qi hit the sword of the earth first, and actually pulled it back from mid-air.
The sword of the earth turned in mid-air, and then stabbed Veronica again.
The Empire's NV god of war was finally taken aback, completely unaware that the sword he threw out would have a second attack - especially since the sword had lost its accuracy, but the rock spikes it brought up were not lacking in attack power at all.
Veronica had no choice but to stop and shoot the Earth Sword with a backhand, and Brando once again gained control of the Earth Sword with the air flow of the White Crow's swordsmanship, allowing the holy sword to cross an arc in mid-air and fall into his hand.
When Brando caught the sword, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, the second blow of the sword throwing was almost a stroke of genius, and even he didn't think that it would be successful.
But if you have to use one word to describe his mood at this moment, it is simply too handsome.
So much so that he froze for a moment while holding the sword.
"Xiao guy, this is not the White Crow Sword Technique, this skill is almost close to the original" Otares's voice immediately sounded in his heart, and she couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the fact that I knew that you had never learned the Secret Sword Wind Dance of the Wind Jing Spirit, I would have doubted your origin-"
"However, your swordsmanship is truly remarkable and unbelievable."
Brando didn't respond to the NV Knight's words, he just looked up at Veronica - the Empire's NV God of War had already let Akane escape from her as soon as he stopped him, and the red-haired NV had almost come to Brando's side at this moment.
Although there was not much distance between them in the first place.
But Brando knew that it was enough.
At this moment, Veronica withdrew her sword with a cold face, and she saw a relieved look on the young man's face, and suddenly her face changed and she remembered something.
The empire's NV god of war turned his head.
She immediately held her breath and saw that the terrifying fifteen huge heads of the Sage Hydra Dragon had already surrounded their heads, and at this moment, Brando was knocked away and half knelt in the grass, but beside her was like a clearing formed after Brando's two sword stabs ploughed the ground.
She was standing in the middle of the clearing.
It is self-evident which of the two sides is more conspicuous.
Damn, Veronica realized this in her heart.
