The carriage soon arrived in Valhalla, and after passing through a city gate along the road from the roots of a huge tree, stopped in the central district; Brando looked at the scenery outside, gestured to Flo to stop, opened the car door, jumped out of the carriage, and saw His Royal Highness the little prince waiting there not far away.

"Teacher."

Haruzer saluted Brando respectfully with the courtesy of a student, and behind him stood Nimesis, and another figure dressed in a white linen robe, like an ancient Greek goddess, but with snake-haired eyes and a head of Medusa. Brando had also heard of this Medusa named Lesmeca, but he only met him for the first time today.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, how has the swordsmanship entered the realm in the past two months?"

Haruzer's face flushed, and he couldn't answer.

It doesn't seem to be very good, Brando smiled slightly and patted the little prince's immature shoulder: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

At this time, from the canopy of Valhalla, hundreds of meters high, hung several green vines, all of which were arm thick, and the ends were intertwined to form a basket; Brando asked Haruzer, Nimesis, and little Roman to ride in a basket with him, and the rest in another basket, and after he gave an order, the vines began to rise slowly, and although it was not the first time that little Roman had taken this kind of transport, he was still so excited that he looked around, and she swung the rattan basket in the air, shouting, and so frightened that Haruzer clung to the edge of the frame, but when he reached a certain height, the merchant lady also clung to the edge of the frame, and obediently remained motionless.

"Swordsmanship is not a one, Haruzer," Brando said, looking at the tapering hills and brown forests beneath his feet, "If I'm not mistaken, you'll be thirteen years old in the next month." ”

Haruzer looked at his teacher with some confusion. Nodding.

"Starting next month, I'll teach you magic."

"Magic?" Haruzer was slightly stunned: "Can I also learn magic, teacher?" ”

"Of course." Brando nodded, and said no more. Suddenly, he felt a gaze fall on him, and found that it was Nimesis staring at him, and the injuries on the female knight's body seemed to have long healed. Today, I wore a tight-fitting military uniform and looked heroic. "What's the matter, learn...... Ms. Nimesis? Brando asked.

"You plan to teach His Royal Highness the Prince magic, have you told Her Royal Highness the Princess about this?" Nimesis said.

"Not yet, but Haruzer has a talent for magic, and he's wasted too much time on swordsmanship, so why not try it another way? At the age of thirteen, it was too late to learn the sword, but it was just the right time to learn magic, and maybe he would become a brilliant wizard in the future. He laughed, "As for Her Royal Highness, I'll tell her." ”

The rattan basket quickly rose to the top, where there were many wooden trestles that jutted out from the central plaza for the people in the rattan baskets to set foot on, and the staff lady who had arrived in Valhalla first had been waiting for them, holding a pile of parchment for unknown purposes, followed by Tia and the rest of the Tiger Sparrow Mercenary Regiment, and seeing Brando, Roman, and Flo. Tia called out to her sister in surprise, and the staff lady gave him a look. Brando understood and asked, "They've arrived?" ”

Antitina nodded.

"Where are they?" Brando asked.

"Lady Tanya, she doesn't like too noisy places, so I'll arrange for her to rest in the side room."

If you don't like noisy places, you will set up shop in the downtown area of Ampesel? Brando shook his head puzzled, "Let's go see her first." ”

The nominal owner came as scheduled—

When Antitina pushed open an arch with an openwork pattern, a fairy lady sat peacefully on the round wooden table in the side hall, kneeling on a cushion that had been specially prepared for her, a coffee table the size of a box. On it was a white porcelain tea set, which was also one size smaller, filled with fragrant tea—and when she saw Brando's party behind Antitina and Miss Staff, she turned around again, held up the teacup with both hands, and took a sip. Then gently put it down.

"The council is dissatisfied, little one." The first thing Lady Fairy said was to silence the hall.

Medusa Mecca stared at the Silver Star Brooch on the Fairy Lady's chest, as if she had been stabbed.

"Originally, not everyone agreed to put the Azure Spear here to protect it, it was me and Master William who managed to persuade the Council to be able to stand out from the crowd, but now you have made us very passive."

"Aunt Tania, it's not all our fault, I think you should understand that," Brando replied innocently as he motioned for Flo to close the door, "You swore to me that the illusion you cast on the Azure Spear would never be detected by anyone—unless that person was a living sage, but now that living sage is in Elranta, your gun has been stolen by the Cruz. ”

Tanya raised her eyelids and looked at him with some surprise through her silver-rimmed glasses, "Don't be poor, little one, if you hadn't used it against a true god, how could the illusion on the Azure Spear have dissipated?" ”

"But Akane wasn't around there at the time, and if she couldn't withstand even a little fluctuation of divine power, I think this so-called strongest illusion is too unworthy of its name, isn't it?"

"If I tell Roan your words as they are, do you wonder if he will come to you like a mad lion to duel," Tania almost laughed at the strong words, "The slightest fluctuation of divine power in your mouth destroyed three cities and blew the Dead Frost Forest into a white ground, don't think we don't know." She knocked on the white porcelain teacup and asked, "This cup is good, how can you have a special teaset for goblins here, is it specially prepared for me?" ”

"That's for the Lights." Brando glanced at the tea set and replied casually.

"Like your grandfather, he doesn't make a woman happy at all," Tania gave him a blank look, "The council means that the Azure Spear must be taken back." ”

"That's not easy," Brando said, "With your strength, you can easily subdue the Flame Temple, the Azure Spear is originally ours." The Cruz people were the ones who lost in this matter from the beginning, and if you came forward to get them back, they would not dare to push back. ”

"It's not so easy to be naïve little one," Tania replied, "and it's true that Buga is the most powerful country in the world, but the Cruz people are not to be underestimated. The land under the control of the Temple of Fire is vast and populous, and the conflict between two forces of this magnitude involves a series of complex issues, not to mention war. Honestly, little one, the chances of convincing the council are nil. ”

"Then you want to take back the Azure Spear, don't you?"

Brando sighed softly, "I see, you're counting on me again." ”

Lady Fairy squinted at him: "Less garlic, you already knew." Right? ”

Brando smiled without embarrassment: "But Aunt Tanya, you can also see that I can't be an opponent of the behemoth of the Cruz Empire, unless someone comes to the aid of Eruin behind his back." ”

"Beyond direct involvement—" Tania began.

"Except for direct involvement." Brando repeated affirmatively.

"Tell me what you want us to do."

Brando gestured to Antitina beside her, and Miss Staff hurriedly unfolded the rolls of parchment that she had been holding in her arms and spread them on the table, which were several drawings, and the fairy lady opened them one by one. After reading it, I understood: "The frigate of the Cruz people, you want us to help you build this thing?" She was lying on her stomach on the drawing. Looking back at Brando, Brando nodded, then shook his head.

"I want you to help me build ten of these frigates, at your expense, of course; But that's not all, I'd like you to help me build a large magical shipyard in Valhalla. This magic dock must have the technical standards after the Thunder Year, at least the smallest Type 4 battleship, and the dock must have a gargoyle casting workshop, which can provide at least one brigade of gargoyles for the dock and the harbor as an air defense force, and also help the dock train the third phase of shipwrights and supporting professional wizards. ”

Tania looked at him in surprise, "You seem to know a lot about magical shipbuilding?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Brando replied with some smugness, "Don't be deceived." ”

"Well, it's a small thing, any city-state like this dock Buga can afford to build it for you alone, and we won't cheat on it," Tania replied with some disdain, flipping through the drawings of the Cruz frigates that Brando and Antitina regarded as treasures, "This kind of rubbish drawings are the only ones you can afford." ”

"Trash?"

"The technology of the Cruz people comes from the wind elves, who taught the magic battleship technology of the wind elves, you don't know, right?"

Of course, Brando knew that only the artisan wizard of Buga in this world could have this confidence, and one of the two poles of Vauld's magic technique was in front of him at this moment. He took a light breath and asked, "Could it be that you can help us build a type of battleship?" Dragons of Acagas? ”

"Hey, how do you know about the dragon level of Acagas?" Tania asked, somewhat surprised, "Of course it can't be. ”

The Dragon-class of Akagas is the latest type of battleship that Buga has been under construction since the year of the Cold Moon, and it is also a revolutionary capital ship in the future slate wars, of course, Brando did not count on it, but just said it casually. He asked, "What about the older ones?" ”

"It can't be."

"What about the frigate?"

Tania shook her head: "Little guy, you are going to die of this heart, the Silver Council is alone, it is already an exception to be willing to help you, it is impossible to convince those old guys, even if it is to help you build a magic dock, you can only use the technology of the wind elves or the Cruz." As for the gargoyle, it was already a technique that had been leaked out before the Second Holy War anyway, so it wouldn't be too difficult. As for the rest, don't think too much about it. ”

"Well," Brando sighed, as if he had expected it, "and in that case, why do you have to kindle my hope, Aunt Tania." ”

"Because you're an idiot," Lady Goblin replied angrily, "we can't, but someone can." ”

"Who?"

"Hazel, Hazel are the sworn enemies of the Cruz, if one day you are really on the opposite side of the Empire, I can find a way to contact them, I think those arrogant short men will be happy to help you become a henchman on the southern border of the Empire." She glanced at Brando and replied, "You don't look down on their skills, do you?" ”

"Of course. Of course you can afford it! Brando reacted at this time, a little overjoyed, joking, one of the two poles of magic technology, how dare he look down on it, but the Hazel people have little contact with the outside world. He didn't dare to think about it.

Tania patted the drawings and asked, "So, that's all you want?" ”

Brando immediately shook his head: "Of course not, Aunt Tanya. Naturally, it is impossible for me to take ten frigates to the Empire to recapture the Azure Spear, and this previous request is only a prerequisite for our cooperation, as a precaution against the possible retaliation of the Empire against Eruin after I recapture the Azure Spear. And I'm going to reclaim the Azure Spear, which is a difficult task in itself, and I need your unreserved support to do so. ”

Lady Elf looked at him with the look I had expected you to say that. said: "You don't want to say that you want to go to the empire to recapture the Azure Spear, you need a battleship to do it, right?" ”

Brando smiled awkwardly, obviously being told what was on his mind, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Naturally not, I just want some small things, Aunt Tanya." ”

After reaching an initial consensus, the subsequent discussion is much more relaxed, of course, relative to one party. When the two-hour bargaining process went by in a flash, Brando was satisfied. Tania's face was not very good-looking. "Your grandfather should be half as shrewd as you are, and he won't be the last to be like that." These were the words of a certain fairy lady, and although she seemed very dissatisfied, she accepted Brando's request to keep her for a dinner party in Valhalla, after all, both parties knew that these deals were nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Buga.

And when Antitina followed Brando out of the side hall of Valhalla's town hall. She couldn't help but suspect that she was still in a dream, although she was used to seeing big scenes, she still whispered to Brando with uncertainty, "My lord, did Lady Tania really promise to send us a thousand gargoyles?" ”

Brando nodded.

"And three hundred steel golems?"

Brando nodded again.

"And the Aether Dragon?"

Brando, who had probably guessed his staff's thoughts, replied, "We're just helping the Buga people with their inventory." These things are backward technology for them, backlogged in the warehouse every year, and they need to pay for maintenance continuously, even if they are scrapped, they will spend a lot of money, but they will give them to us, they are more profitable, after all, they are not given away for free, and we have to help them die. ”

"But it's a gargoyle, my lord, and in the early years in Eruin, it would have been a great honor for any nobleman to have a gargoyle as a guard in his castle. It's incredible how much we have at once. Antitina could hardly imagine that these things were just scraps that Brando said the Bugas were eager to dispose of, as if it was only at this moment that she had an intuitive understanding of the power of the legendary Silver Realm. Of course, she also had a stronger understanding of her lord's lion opening, and she would never dare to ask for a price with the Buga people.

But in fact, Brando cares more about the last small deal than for these things, and he wants Tania to help him collect some special materials that Valhalla desperately needs, and if you look at the richness of the collectibles in this world, I am afraid that no one can compare to the whitebeard wizards of the Silver Alliance.

It took a while for Antitina to recover from her dizzy state, she rubbed her forehead, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, where are we going next?" ”

Brando nodded.

"The Cruz people are making trouble for us, and we're going to make some trouble for them," he replied, "and let's go meet Prince Lenaret." ”

The two left the side hall one after the other, and behind them Prince Haruzer was about to follow, but was grabbed by the arm, and the little prince turned around, looked at the Medusa Lesmeka who grabbed him suspiciously, and asked, "Sister Lesmeca, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Lesmerka put her finger to her lips and gestured to him in silence, and hissed and whispered, "That Lord Count is your teacher?" ”

Haruzer nodded.

"Does he support you as king?"

Haruzer shook his head, "I don't want to be king, Sister Lesmeka, but don't tell Sister Sù, she'll scold me." ”

"All right, little one," Lesmerka patted his little brain, "whether you want to be king or not, you must hold on to your teacher, for there is probably no one more capable in your little country." ”

"What's wrong, Sister Lesmeka?" Haruzer was a little puzzled.

"Nothing," Lesmerka suddenly asked, "little prince, can you let me go with you on an envoy to that empire?" ”

"Don't you want to go, Sister Lesmeca?"

"I've changed my mind."

"Oh," Haruzer sighed, "I think it should be possible, I can pick a few people to accompany me, and I'll let Mrs. Wenze stay." ”

"Thank you, little one." Medusa Les Mecca licked her lips with her forked tongue and looked a little strangely in the direction Brando had left, "It's really interesting to be able to move the Buga." ”
