Chapter Errors/Click here to report
Much of what happened after Princess Griffiin and Brando left Wood Mansion was predictable.
The return of the eldest son to the throne as Grand Duke of Siphah seemed to symbolize yet another compromise of the royal family towards the localities, which had been repeated throughout the history of the kingdom, and since the year of thunder, the power of the localities has become increasingly powerful, and a vicious circle has finally formed.
History seems to have repeated itself, but in any case, at least with the intervention of the Temple of Fire and the appeasement of the eldest son of the king himself, the tide that was about to stir in the north calmed down for a while and became calm.
Privately, it is said that the nobles celebrated a rare victory after the Battle of Ampesel, and that the local miasma was like a kingdom returning to the days around the time of the astrologers. The phenomenon of local thieves seems to be on the rise again, and the merchants complain, but beneath this superficial phenomenon, the secret changes are quietly taking place.
Brando understood that it was impossible for Her Royal Highness to let Prince Levin sit in the north, even if there was a secret pact between them, even if the other party was her nominal brother. But there was no room for personal feelings, and the Temple of Fire did not want to see signs of a renewed division between the north and the south of Eruin - at least until the end of the holy war, the Cruz wanted the ancient kingdom to maintain a semblance of stability.
And that's just on the surface.
In addition to these mesperal reasons, there is a more direct conflict of interest that determines this. Because in the north, in addition to the inherent territory of the West Fah family, there are also the territories of the royal family of Corkova itself, as well as the territory of Yenburg and Yanirasu. For these complex spheres of influence, it is unlikely that the princess's party will give them up.
So in exchange, Her Royal Highness regained control of the White Lion Legion, as expected. But perhaps it was also because the eldest son himself was unwilling to take command of such an army that was not loyal to him. Since the reappearance of the Lionheart Sacred Sword, there has been a loud voice within the White Lion Legion that has fallen to the side of the princess.
This is a little different from history. In another period of history, until Freya took full control of the White Lion Legion. In fact, none of the White Lions really identify with the royal party.
But this time, the old white lion, who had lost two legion leaders, had obviously lost his original sharpness.
Bresson, Chocó, and Enrok, who had survived the Battle of Ampesel, were ordered to go north to receive the legion, and the new commander was the eldest grandson of the kingdom's lion who died in the Battle of Ampesel. But Brando knew that this unlucky guy wouldn't be able to sit in this position for long.
Everyone understands that only one person can lead this legion. It was Freya, who was armed with the Lionheart.
But now is not the time. Nimesis also crossed Freya's name from the original list, citing the fact that the young girl from the countryside of Buchi needed more training.
This is also Brando's opinion. In the future, she may have the ability to take charge of a legion, but it is still far from it. The White Lion Legion seemed to him to be dormant for a long time, and it was not until the officer corps under Cagris was formed that he was able to build a White Lion infantry that truly recreated the glory of the era.
That's when Valkyries come into play.
Before that, there are more important tasks waiting for the future Valkyrie to complete.
But compared to these things, some of the big events that happened on the table attracted the attention of ordinary people more. In particular, the Silver Folk eventually intervened in the investigation of the Battle of Ampesel. At the behest of the Bugas and the Silver Elves, the Sanctuary of Fire had to give up its grip on Ampesel.
The black hand behind this qiē is naturally Brando and a certain fairy lady.
A human being. A goblin that fueled one of the heaviest events that took place between Eruin and Cruz in the Year of the Sword in the eyes of the general public. From this day onwards, in the middle of the New Moon, the port city will no longer be under the name of autonomy but will exist as a trading port for Eruin.
As soon as this news came out, it shook the entire southern region of the Vaynd continent.
But no matter how the news circulated. There is only one truth that never changes. It was after centuries that the holy white port had finally returned to the bosom of his ancient mother.
That evening, Her Royal Highness made an exception for Brando to take her to the outer walls of the port.
The half-elf princess looked out over the edge of the forest and the bay under the golden clouds of the setting sun, and she just watched quietly, without saying a word, as far as the end of the sky, where the sunlight formed a golden thread.
She was in the same position as her ancestor Eck had been a thousand years ago.
As she descended the tower, the princess whispered 'thank you' to Brando, and the voice was so soft and so thin that Brando suspected that she was hallucinating.
Regardless, at least he remembered the sparkle in Her Highness's eyes as she looked out from afar. She must have been very proud, otherwise there would be no excitement hidden in those golden eyes that reflected the clouds and shadows.
It was not the king of Eruin, but the princess who loved the land the most.
The tumultuous events surrounding the port were so noisy that for a month all living beings became the shadows that adorned it.
And the trivial things that are interspersed in these heavy events have become interludes of spices.
For example, the healing of Gallock, the Wonderseeker, caused a sensation in the city when the kingdom's chief law wizard, Ampessel's hero of the day, reappeared in public. After all, compared to the nameless Brando, Gallock's name was originally a legend in this kingdom.
Ampesel had a day-long that day, so much so that Her Royal Highness came to make a joke about Brando, asking him if he was jealous.
Brando wasn't jealous at all.
He was more concerned with the other thing, and that was that Gallock had taken Antitina as an apprentice, as he had said before. According to the words of this ** master himself, such a high talent. It would be a pity to be only willing to be a mortal.
Brando couldn't agree more.
But he respects Antitina's own opinion more than that. Fortunately, Miss Staff is not dissatisfied, on the contrary. In fact, she had a desire to learn magic for a long time, but after the family went bankrupt, she didn't have the opportunity or time.
That's it. Antitina was nominally the only heir to Gallock.
According to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is likely to become the future court wizard.
And the third widely circulated incident of the month is also related to Gallock. The incident originated from a group of young people's curiosity about the legendary story of how this ** master escaped on the battlefield, but the person concerned put on the master's stand and did not speak, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
Soon a ridiculous rumor spread among the market that Gallock was said to have escaped that day by hiding among a pile of demon corpses.
Indeed, for a court master, such an experience is really embarrassing. So out of some kindness, the port quickly banned the circulation of similar rumors.
Only on one occasion Brando met the master in the forecourt of the reconstructed Great Temple of Under-Vourde. But I overheard the latter muttering to himself in despair as he walked: Damn shit, this damn shit!
Time seems to fly by.
At least for Brando, and everyone around him, the time spent in Ampesel Harbor seemed to have passed in the midst of all the events.
The mild moon swirls like sawdust floating in a river, passing through the fingertips and disappearing from view, and the weather begins to get hotter and hotter day by day. The storm off Ampesel subsided, and the greenery of the mountains and forests took on a more and more striking color over time, as if the people in the harbor had not yet noticed the subtle changes around them. Flowers are already blooming in the mountains and forests, ushering in the height of summer.
Naga and the Silver Elf left Ampesel one after the other, and the harbor seemed to become deserted for a while. Brando asked Naga to bring back a token of gratitude from the Eruin Kingdom, and I think the Queen of Hanlu, who left a great name in history, would understand what he meant.
Eruin needs an alliance, and so do the Nagas in the Sea of Lights.
But the other thing is that Brando has a toothache. Just like in the agreement. The silver elves took their token, the precious ginkgo leaf. This loss was probably the most heart-wrenching event in Brando's war, and if it weren't for the rescue of Her Royal Highness, he would not have wasted this precious opportunity.
In the previous life, a player exchanged this thing for an entire dragon's nest, and the value of the treasure in it was enough to buy the entire Denel collar and smash it and rebuild it again. And Brando traded him for the title of Count Toniger, who was not a nondescript person.
Although Her Royal Highness acquiesced in his attack on Denel, then again, sooner or later Eruin's power would be concentrated in the center, and sooner or later, he, the de facto lord, would be taken back from power.
Brando thought about it, and felt that he was looking for boredom.
But fortunately, the silver elf was probably looking at Metisa's face, and it didn't cause him too much trouble. On the contrary, he stood firmly on his side from the beginning, and it was only in the shortest possible time that the tentacles of the Flame Temple were completely driven away from Ampesel Harbor, and from this point of view, it was worth the fare.
But with the departure of the Silver Elf, the officials in the port of Ampesel, large and small, inevitably felt as if all of a sudden their affairs had become light. The point is that the disputes that often arise because of the differences in the habits of humans and silver elves seem to have disappeared without a trace for a while.
Everything seemed to come to an end after the hot summer moon, and Brando soon realized that there seemed to be only one thing left to complete in this port.
The date is moving forward in an orderly manner.
Just like the date scale marked on an accurate timetable, the expected guest arrives on a sunny afternoon.
It was a letter with a silver feather on the cover, written in flying lettering on the cover:
Mr. Brando.
The same letterhead was delivered to Her Royal Highness the Princess's desk.
Buga's envoy arrived.
……
"Brando, Brando. Look at me! ”
The light voice pierces the woodland, happy like a child. When Brando looked up, he saw several rays of sunlight descending from the shade of the trees. It falls on the dead leaves and moss to form a patchwork of light spots. Between the rocks where the canines were intertwined, there was a section of dead log, and the merchant's eldest lady stretched out her hands. Walking on it staggeringly, he seems to be very proud of his balance.
Then she jumped down from the dead wood and landed in front of Brando and Antitina, and boasted, "How's it going, isn't it amazing?" ”
Super powerful, Brando sighed helplessly: "Roman, aren't you tired?" "There was a damp heat in the sweltering heat of the forest outside the harbor, like mist in a steamer. Everyone was sweating profusely. Except for certain energetic guys.
To his annoyance, Lady Fairy told him that the wizards of Buga had chosen a cool cloudy day. Now it seems that either the Silver People have some problems with their understanding of cloudy days, or the astrologers of the artisan wizards are simply unreliable.
Brando glanced back, and he had summoned Akane, Freya, Cagris, and even the Countess of Swallowburg. The Countess was whispering something to Her Royal Highness in the back, and Cagris was with the young men of Toniger as usual, and Charles and the group of mercenaries of the Tiger Sparrow were on guard on the perimeter. Akane was the only one sitting under a poplar tree, reading a book with a red cover, her long ponytail hanging down to the moss.
In fact, Akane didn't know much about reading and writing, but it could only be said that she was far more than the average mountain people, of course, you have to know that most of the mountain people were completely illiterate. But ever since Antitina became her teacher. This mountain girl, who doesn't like to talk much, now seems to be finding some quiet pleasure in reading more and more.
Just reading some knight novels all day long makes Brando worry that she will end up like Roman.
He glanced back at our merchant lady.
The merchant lady had already taken him by the arm and sat down next to him. It finally stopped for a while, and then Brando breathed a sigh of relief. But it wasn't long before there was a sudden rustling sound in a bush in front of them, and everyone looked up and saw Marcaro, Overwell, and Earl Outing, all neatly dressed, coming out from behind.
They're obviously just here.
Macaro first saw Princess Griffiin beside Dilferry, and was slightly stunned, he turned back to Brando: "Mr. Brando, what guests are we going to meet today, and why is Her Royal Highness ...... here?" ”
They actually got the news the day before, and the first thing that Macaro thought of was the dragon clan behind Brando, and it was precisely because of the figure of these golden people who might have zài behind the princess that the royal party was more firmly tied to the princess's chariot after the war.
Of course, Lewoods' death also dispels the misunderstanding between the two sides in a certain way.
In any case, the chief court wizard of the kingdom was worthy of being Princess Griffiin's teacher.
But for Macarlo, the last news he got was that the she-dragon named Aloz had gone into disappearance one day after making a fuss in the harbor for a day, simulating a dragon raiding the city. Everyone thought that the terrible dragon girl was gone, but he didn't think so, he stubbornly insisted that the other party was just hiding behind the scenes.
And the young man named Brando, who has an extraordinary relationship with the dragon family, is obviously the biggest help behind the princess.
It's just that he didn't know that the answer to the question he had been holding on to was actually very simple for Brando. After listening to him tell the story of the Ring of the Trade Winds, the little Lori of the dragon clan with a bad personality is said to have run back to Tonigel to see his 'Valhalla'.
And today they are going to meet a different group of people.
But before Brando could answer, the bushes were parted again.
This time there was an old man in a silver robe, and when the old man saw Brando, he was slightly startled, and then a familiar smile floated.
"Come and see today's Eruin for my old friend, I didn't expect Brando, little friend, we will meet again."
"it!" Brando almost didn't jump straight up, he thought that the people from Buga should be Tania and Tulaman, after all, the two of them had a deeper connection to this kingdom. But he never dreamed that such a figure would come.
William Pister.
The world speaks of the Silver Storm, the leader of the Silver Alliance, the Wizard.
He subconsciously turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess, Macaro, and Overwell looked at him very strangely, and it felt like he was looking at some legendary monster.
The meaning in that eye was obvious.
"Brando, who are you sacred?"
