Act 98 The Girl's Weaving Thread (End) (Second Update, Please Support)
Akane was saved.
It's like a miracle.
It wasn't until a long time before the lively atmosphere in the room calmed down, and almost no one thought that Brando really had a way to save Akane from such a dangerous state.
But it turns out that this young and mysterious lord is omnipotent
Antitina, after thinking like this countless times, affirmed this conclusion once again.
She withdrew her gaze from the young man in a bit of a daze, feeling as if she were relieved. But when she saw Akane holding the golden apple in both hands, and smiled weakly at her after noticing her gaze, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
"This stupid girl" The aristocratic daughter shook her head, knowing that this time Akane really sold herself and would help Bran with most money.
When Charles told everyone that it was the legendary golden apple, not only was she surprised, but Akane stood there as if she had been struck by lightning. The golden apples almost fell from her hands and rolled to the ground, and if it weren't for Metisa's quick eyesight, she would have become the first golden apple in history to be lost and broken.
But seeing the girl who had re-tied her red ponytail holding the golden apple in a daze, as if she was holding a treasure in the world, Antitina knew that this girl was completely hopeless.
She sighed.
Like Métisa, Antitina, who is equally intelligent, sees the red-haired girl's unusual dependence on other people, and this seemingly strong girl always seems to live for what other people think.
But this aristocratic daughter understands that the sadness of the other party lies in this world where you can only rely on yourself, and in most cases, the eyes of outsiders rarely stay on others.
Not to mention aristocrats like Macarlo, whose footsteps will never stop for a moment, except for interests. Akane's efforts were destined to go unrewarded, and she might have felt better if she could see this as well as the other members of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Regiment—but she was Akane after all, the weak and strong girl.
Antitina glanced at Brando again, thinking that she was fortunate to have such an outlier as the lord she followed.
Gentle, benevolent, and humane, Brando's every move seemed to be incompatible with the whole aristocratic world, but to say that this young man was not a nobleman; First of all, Antitina herself could not convince herself, she had never seen a man as well-informed and of such magnanimity except for the nobility.
A qiē seems to show that this young man is not only a nobleman, but also has a not so ordinary family background. This was confirmed by the old swordsman Kuran, who had been captured from the mines.
Antitina, as the first person in charge of the castle after Brando's departure, had of course been in contact with the old captain of the guard for the first time—she knew who he was, or rather she knew every one of the most illustrious knights under Count Denel—and she had been doing this kind of work for the sake of Brando's plans.
The old man Curran came from a family of knights, fought in the November War, and spent a long time with the Count of Jean Denel. These aristocratic daughters all know. But when the other party was talking, he inadvertently revealed his attitude towards Brando, which aroused her suspicions.
There is no doubt that the old swordsman knew Brando-
And it was not an ordinary acquaintance, he knew Brando's elders, and in the conversation with him, Antitina could fully understand that Brando's elders were not simple.
Of course, this information may be scattered and not valuable news in the eyes of ordinary people. But falling into the ears of this ice and snow smart girl is enough to confirm it one by one with the Brando she was familiar with before, thus forming a complete picture.
Brando's identity seems to be becoming clear, the young man comes from a large family with a long history but little reputation.
A descendant of such a rare nobility.
Antitina sometimes couldn't help but wonder if she was favored by the heavens, so she could meet the current lord from the dark room in Pragus, and take them in and follow them until she became the young man's staff.
At least until now, this aristocratic daughter has never regretted it, and only feels extremely lucky.
But she glanced at the golden apple in Akane's hand, and she still had some faint envy.
After all, it is the golden apple, the only surviving product of mythology that can change the fate of a person or even a nation.
Before that, she had never even believed that the legend was real. She couldn't help but think - if the young man had such a golden apple, he could use it to buy the most powerful forces on either side, wouldn't he?
That's priceless.
With it, Brando can win the hearts of anyone in a position of power. Whether it was to become an earl, a marquis, or even a duke, it was not a problem at all, even if it was the supreme emperor of the Cruz Empire, or even the crown of the great god of the Temple of Fire, if the young man wanted to, he could exchange this golden apple from them for almost what he wanted.
But Antitina was puzzled.
Brando didn't. He just used this apple to save a girl who had only known him for a few months, maybe Akane had gold-level strength, but Antitina understood that the value of a golden apple was probably not just equal to a gold-level strength of his subordinates.
Of course, it is possible to multiply the other side of the equation by a hundredfold.
Of course, the answer to this question seemed simpler on Brando's side, and he simply understood that Piff was innocent of his guilt. Perhaps the aristocratic daughter thinks that he has a large family behind him who can shelter him from the wind and rain, but Brando knows what kind of situation he is in.
What's more, he didn't intend to deal with the rotten aristocratic system of Eruin's original gang, he was here to change the fate of this ancient country, not to be complicit in those people.
Brando knew that he could live comfortably in this world with his foresight of history, but that was not his goal.
Especially after reading the expressions of Makaro and Grudin, this confidence has increased day by day.
As for the golden apple. Brando didn't care, he wouldn't even mind saving Akane's life with ten or a hundred golden apples if it could be cured, if he had one, of course.
But Antitina doesn't see it that way, and neither does Akane.
The client was holding the apple in a daze. Of course, she knew the value of this apple, and when Brando negotiated with Macaro and the others, she saw the desire of Lewoods, Macaro and Buga for this apple.
She couldn't help but wonder, who would be more important in the eyes of the Grand Master, herself or this golden apple?
But the answer to this question hardly needs to be thought, she thinks that if she adds a hundred more of herself, Macaro will not hesitate to choose the golden apple.
But why did that young man make a completely different choice?
Akane didn't understand, so she looked at Brando in bewilderment, who was talking to Medisa and Charles, and didn't mean to turn back at all
"My lord," Medissa was the first to ask, "I probably see what you mean, to use the immense power of the golden apple to patch up Akane's missing life force...... Just ......"
The silver elf girl frowned, "Doing this is a bit of a drink to quench your thirst." She used a phrase peculiar to the Silver Elves to convey the meaning of the word 'drink to quench thirst,' but Brando did make it understand.
"My lord, there's no way around it." Charles explained, "It's better to be able to take a break for a while than to face it immediately, and maybe there is something else to be found in between." ”
The young wizard said, then smiled and glanced at Akane who was sitting on the bed, and couldn't help but laugh at the relapse of his instincts: "But using the golden apple to do such a thing is probably going to make those who are eager to get the golden apple half angry......
"That's really ......," the young man thought for a moment before he came up with an appropriate word: "It's a little too big, it's a little too big." ”
The red-haired girl listened to Charles's words and subconsciously lowered her head. Because after coming back to her senses, it seems that even she feels a little too wasteful, but she has the golden apple in the myth and legend, and it is used on her like this.
It's kind of incredible.
Akane felt that even in the most absurd dream she had ever had, she had never thought about such a thing.
But when Charles saw the girl's reaction, he realized that he had lost his mouth. He hurriedly said, "Miss Akane, don't think about it, I'm not saying it's a waste - it's just that the golden apple is worth a lot of money, I think ......" The young wizard thought for a moment, and then said, "I suddenly remembered that the lord said such a sentence last time, but it can explain the current situation very appropriately-"
All eyes were on him.
Charles hurriedly shrugged, "Well, I mean—if this golden apple counts as a reward, you'll probably have to 'make a personal promise' to pay off this debt, Miss Akane." The young wizard said with a grin.
"Promise by example?" Akane was stunned.
"That's what it means, you know," Charles said as he stepped back, trying to dodge the hilt of Brando's sweeping sword. However, as a wizard, it was obviously impossible for him to dodge the attack of a swordsman of the same level at such a close distance, so almost as soon as he finished the first half of the sentence, he screamed 'wow' and fell down with his stomach in his arms.
Brando, annoyed that he was so open-mouthed, that he thought that he would have to lie on the ground for at least a few minutes before he could get up. And the silver elf Medisa glanced at Charles, who was rolling around on the ground, and rarely showed a look of 'deserved'.
As for Akane finally understood Charles's words, she lowered her head while holding the golden apple, her face red all the way to the base of her neck.
Brando glanced at Akane, worried that the girl was cranky, so he said, "Don't pay attention to this guy's words, but if Akane really wants to repay my investment in this golden apple, you should live well, remember what I said - and you are the most important fighting force under my command." ”
He took a breath: "I think soon, Toniger will face a big battle. ”
Akane was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it, but nodded vigorously.
Brando wanted to say something, but at this time he felt Medissa tug at his sleeve behind him. He turned his head and saw the little silver elf princess frowning and asked:
"My lord, since the golden apple can only solve the crisis for a while, do you think of any real solution?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and was about to shake his head, but at this moment he heard the voice of Otares in his heart and suddenly said:
"I have come up with a solution, little one."
