Huanghuo thought for a moment. "Or should he say that he didn't tell the truth when he promised to take you to Madara," she frowned slightly, "and he had other intentions in mind. ”

"Thank you, Miss Phoenix, but I know."

"You know, Mr. Brando?" Huang Huo looked up at him, with a hint of doubt in his star-like eyes.

"I know his intentions, just as he knows mine, Instaron is a smart man, he and I are just betting against him. This man likes to go off the rails with his sword, and as for his deputy, Gusta, is the exact opposite of him. ”

"Bet?"

Brando stared at the door and continued, "I think His Majesty the Emperor seems to know him well to arrange such a deputy for him, they are natural partners, but this time I believe he can convince Gusta." ”

"I don't really understand ......"

"Simply put, what they want is what is on me, or perhaps more precisely, the person behind his door wants it. And he knew that there were several things on me, and he wanted to take me to the realm of eternal death, betting that Madara would have a way to deal with me. ”

"In that case, why did Mr. Brando say that? If Mr. Brando had been confident, that person wouldn't have agreed so easily, would he? ”

"Because we don't have 100% certainty, it's just that I believe that a person who can get Loki's mercury staff will not not not fail to retreat on his home turf, and Instaron knows this, and so does Gusta, so he will definitely convince the one-eyed dragon."

Phoenix shook his head disapprovingly: "The lord of a country should not be so hasty, especially according to Mr. Brando, it is still the link that maintains the stability and unity of this huge country, how can he allow his subordinates to gamble on the fate of a country?" ”

Brando did not answer this question.

Because there may be many answers to this question. It was only the closest guess, and he didn't know how to explain it to the little girl.

He sighed deeply: "If I am not mistaken, this may be the reason for the untold suffering of my country." ”

When he confirmed to Instarong the reason for Madara's invasion of Eruin, he finally figured it out in his heart.

Why did Madara have a soft spot for the barren land of Eruin? Perhaps not only because of the geography, but also because of the fact that near the island of Kemit, Madara also has better access to the sea. And in those places of the White Mountain, order is ruled by eternal darkness, which is more suitable for the undead to march.

Eruin has a special meaning for Madara, probably because of its own special nature, not only the Orb of Fire and the Sword of Earth, but also the Yamakawa Desire and Sinna, the Azure Spear Firmament, and the Holy Sword of Light Somur that he and Rut saw beyond the elemental barrier.

The other party is armed with a mercury staff, and he may not be unable to know the secret of the Amber Sword. If His Majesty the Emperor's true purpose is also the same as his, then everything makes sense.

Why would Madara insist on annexing Eruin?

And this is the basis of his deal with Instaron.

He knew that Instarong should have at least known that he had the Sword of Earth on him, and perhaps that he had obtained the soul of Odysphes, and while the news might have been a little behind, it was enough.

He also got the answer he wanted from the other party's reaction, confirming his guess. Therefore, the two of them can have their own ghosts, and they know each other's true intentions in their hearts:

Instarong lures himself to eternal death and perfectly arranges the next ambush. Take those things from yourself, and the undead will have no trouble accomplishing half of the purpose of invading Eruin.

Maybe they could have been able to follow the same path before. But he deliberately showed that prescient and aggressive attitude in front of the other party, just to make the black lord wary and miscalculate the difficulty of invading this small kingdom.

Now it seems that his goal is at least half achieved.

The rest depends on the 'travel' within Madara.

Perhaps Eruin's crisis will be solved by this, and in the best case, he will be able to get his own mercury staff. Worse. It's not that there is no way to escape, Brando is still very confident in his current strength, for him with the element of time and space, there is no one in this world who can easily leave him.

And when it comes to eternal death, it is at least much more convenient to return to Eruin.

Huang Huo could see that there was something wrong with his expression. Thinking that he was thinking of things and thinking about people, he quickly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Brando, I shouldn't have brought up this topic. ”

"It's none of your business." Brando shook his head slightly.

But his indifference made the little girl feel even more guilty, and she said with some firmness: "Mr. Brando, if Mardara really supports the ghost car, Mr. Liu and I will definitely find a way to persuade Your Majesty to form an alliance with you, we have a common enemy." ”

"It's an honor." Brando gave her a grateful look. However, he also knew that the alliance between Eruin and Jiufeng could not be decided by the two of them here, and he might be able to represent Valhalla, but although Phoenix Fire was a royal daughter, he might not even be able to represent the Jade Phoenix Imperial Family, let alone the opinions of the entire Jiufeng.

Of course, maybe when she and Mr. Liu return to Jiufeng, they can fully mobilize their identity and energy, but before that, he himself can't stare so dryly.

For now, it seems that the offensive to disrupt the Second War of the Black Roses is the most important thing.

The two were talking, when the door in front of them suddenly opened without warning, and a skull poked out of it. The two gray-white phosphorus fires in the black hole hole eye socket on the skull startled Phoenix Fire, and even Brando was a little surprised, he thought that when the undead haunted this kind of human territory, more of them should be vampires or black knights, who were similar in appearance to humans.

The skull didn't care about the surprise of the two, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Instarong let the two of you in." ”

Its tone is somewhat disgusting, just as the living are naturally repulsive to the undead, and the undead have a natural hatred for the living.

With that, it opened the door and motioned for Brando and Phoenix Fire to enter.

Brando nodded.

Upon entering the door, there was a dark hallway, and Brando's eyesight was good, and he soon saw the sparkling soul fires lit up in the darkness, each of which belonged to a skeleton shelf, and these large skeletons stood on either side of the aisle in heavy armor like lifeless ornaments, which he recognized as the Crusader executioners of Madara.

This thing had nearly killed him at Fort Riden, but now with two rows of these things standing in the hallway, he didn't feel threatened in the slightest.

Don't talk about him, even Phoenix Fire doesn't change his face, as a swordsman with the strength of the Element Manifestation level, these things are not much different from large toys to her.

She didn't seem to have the fear of the dark nature of ordinary girls, and her eyes shone in the dark environment, as if she was born for such an environment.

Brando was worried that Phoenix might not be able to adapt to it, but when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The skeleton led the way in front of him, deep and shallow, not fast, but Brando was not that patient, he narrowed his eyes slightly, extending his dark perception.

But he felt that his perception of the environment and magic had only just extended from the darkness, and he felt a feeling of being spied on, and he was slightly stunned, and then he heard a soft sigh from the phoenix fire.

"Mr. Brando...... Also have similar capabilities? ”

"What?" Brando was stunned.

"It's the eye of heaven," said the voice of the phoenix fire in the darkness, "The heart of the jade phoenix teaches us to feel the world with our hearts, so we can tell if others have malicious intentions, or if they are blinding our hearts with lies." ”

"That's how you judged that Instaron was lying?" Brando whispered in surprise.

"Yes, does Mr. Brando have that ability too?"

"Unlike yours, I can only feel things through the flow of magic, but it can also make my perception more acute."

After confirming that he was being spied on by Phoenix Fire's abilities, he put his mind at ease and extended his perception as he described. However, he was very interested in the ability of Phoenix Fire's 'Heavenly Eye', which was very similar to the 'Mirror Stopping Water' in Eruin's White Crow Swordsmanship, or the 'Deep Analysis' he learned from the Silver Elf.

But it is much more powerful than the latter two, after all, the latter two do not have the ability to distinguish the hearts of lies.

He was about to ask for the details of this ability, hoping to find a way to exchange it from the other party's hand, but it was at this moment that Brando suddenly closed his mouth.

Originally, he extended the dark sense, just to guard against possible threats, because although he said that Instaron would not play any small tricks, who could guarantee that this black lord would not have a sudden convulsion in his brain. The less the gutter capsized, the better.

But he didn't expect that his extended perception would suddenly penetrate the wall and feel the presence of the room on the other side of the wall, he probably didn't expect this Instaon and Gusta to stay so close, maybe because the undead were too safe here, they didn't seem to have much precautions and arrangements for the building.

Immediately Brando heard an unfamiliar voice.

“…… Have you thought about the consequences? ”
