Act 109 Zhan Qing II
Silently watching Phoenix Fire go up to the second floor, Adney finally turned around as if she had made up her mind:
"That...... I was her companion, the boss. β
"Captain, don't be ...... like that," Naquil pulled her back and whispered to her, "Be sensible, we need to get out of this place first." β
"Leave?" The female knight leader stared intently at the silver ingots on the counter and asked, "Why, we finally found the clue?" β
The elf shook his head, leaned close to her ear, bit her ear and said to her, "Because it will be very troublesome here, we can wait until the evening to come back, Lord Rosalin has blocked the port, and they can't get out." β
"Okay, okay, I hear you, you don't have to get that close." Adney felt her cheeks a little hot, and pushed him away and said, "Then what to do next, you have the final say." β
Naquil nodded, lowered his voice and said to the others, "That man has the Sword of the Sun God on him, he must have some kind of connection with that prophecy, and even if he is not that person, we must find a way to get close to him and learn clues from him." β
The knights all nodded.
Obviously, their trust in the latter is much stronger than their trust in their deputy head of regiment.
β¦β¦
"Mr. Kersaf...... Ahem," Delphien coughed lightly twice as she clenched her fists and asked with some concern, "You said there was a foreigner among those gentlemen?" β
The afternoon sun fell on the young lady through the shade of the trees, and her complexion was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if it were blown down by a gust of wind, and it was heartwarmingly weak.
Kersaf looked a little unbearable, and he hurriedly replied, "Those are not gentlemen, Miss Delphien, you may not know. They are parasites, scoundrels, robbers and bandits. I'm afraid it's not a good thing to mix with these people, they call that man Mr. Brando, listen to the name, how vulgar and banal. It's a pseudonym when you hear it. β
Delphien's eyes flashed with the deepest glint that deceived everyone's eyes, and she maintained her performance well, echoing, "Perhaps you're right, Mr. Kersaf. β
Kersaf felt as if he had drunk a spoonful of ice water on a hot summer day, and his whole body fluttered, and he was about to continue on the topic. But the captain of the lord's guard on the side reminded him lightly, and only then did he remember that he had not come here to please the lady, but had other important matters.
But he had only just opened his mouth. Then it got stuck again. He looked at Delphine with some embarrassment, and then at Boban, the cooperation between the lord and the ghost car was only known to a few people in Rosalin, and he didn't know if this young lady also knew the inside story.
Lord Rosalin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he was about to say something, but Delphien was so sharp that she coughed lightly. He immediately replied softly, "My lord, please allow me to go back to my room and rest for a while." β
Looking at the back of Delphine, who was helped down by the maid. Ksaf looked at his lord and couldn't help but compliment: "What a smart girlβ"
"It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart, but Miss Delphien is an exception," said Lord Rosalin, cheerfully, rather smugly, "she is such an elven woman, and only such a woman is behind her back." It takes a man to make a career. β
Krsaf couldn't help but glance in that direction with some jealousy.
The elf-like woman had disappeared from the courtyard.
Only Boban still had a dead face, as if he hadn't seen what had happened before.
After Delphien had dismissed the maid, he carefully closed the door to his room and returned to his desk, gasping for some breath. It doesn't look like the physical weakness is all fake.
She opened the drawer, took out a notebook, opened the silver lock, took a quill and dipped it in ink, and made a few notes on itβbut suddenly stopped, closed it, and put it on her chest, silent for a moment.
The innocent look on her face had long since faded by this moment, and she raised her head and looked out through the lattice wooden window.
"Ehrman ......"
"Your Majesty......"
"Should I do this......
β¦β¦
In a single room on the second floor of Storm Shadow near the square, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat quiet.
Huang Huo leaned against the window, looking at the two people sitting at the table for a while, and then looking in the direction of the port. After a while, she saw a group of guards appear in the square, and then knights on wingless dragons, moving from all directions of the square.
She suddenly realized that the way she had handled the problem before might cause trouble for Mr. Brando, and she couldn't help but look apologetic:
"Mr. Brando."
"Don't worry, Phoenix Fire," Brando, though not by the window, had already noticed the situation outside, "Don't worry about them. β
Phoenix Fire gripped his sword and nodded.
Instaron sat in his place and watched the two of them for a long time.
"Your Lord, you should know that I was born in Cosman, and at the age of twenty I received the rites of my family because of my outstanding talent, and I am the purest kind of dark noble. And before I was born, my clan had been at war with the Strange for decades, until the mercury staff appearedβ"
Brando listened silently.
Compared with the collusion between Madara and the ghost car, he was indeed more concerned about the war between the undead and the crystal clusters revealed from Mr. Liu and Nasin's words.
What was the starfall disaster seventy years ago? What is the connection to the death of the Black Moon three days ago? Why is it that the undead and the Crystal Cluster have been at war for nearly a century in the southern realm of Madara, and he doesn't even know it in the game?
The Undead are aggressive in their assault on civilization, but they are obscuring their retreat to the Sea of the Dead Moon Sea, and does the Most High with the Staff of Mercury know all this?
He didn't care about the feud between Yufeng and the ghost car, nor did he care about the arrangement of the undead in the east, but he was only interested in the entanglement between them and Dusk.
It's like a keen sense of smell inherited from the game, and he feels that there may be something he wants behind it.
Why did Madara attack on the civilized world?
The undead are not reckless cultists who have gone mad to destroy the foundations on which civilization and order are maintained.
Instaron seemed to see through what was in his mind at a glance.
He knew that this 'man' had known that he would be interested in the entanglement between the crystal cluster and the undead, and he also knew that since he was here, he must have heard the rumors about it.
The dark road that had flourished for so many years was suddenly closed, not to mention that the strange had just visited Rosalin.
"You and I are the same kind of people, Monsieur Count," explained Instaron, seeing his expression change slightly, "I also wondered why the Staff of Mercury appeared in this era, but when I met Your Majesty, I realized that it was all inevitable. β
Brando was silent.
But when he looked up again, he seemed to have figured something out:
"The Earth Legion has already failed, right?"
Instaron looked at him with his mouth wide open, as if he was stuck in a shell, and as if he had been pinched by the neck. For the first time, a hint of palpitation flashed in the eyes of the young dark sir.
Brando ignored him, and in his thoughts, the scattered pearls were connected by an invisible thread to form a complete fact.
He had never had such acumen before, but since that dream, everything seemed to have changed.
A thousand years ago, at the end of the Sage War, the Dark Dragon sealed the core area of Vaynd, and at the edge of the world, the war never stopped. A thousand years have passed since the Miner sent their strongest legions(*) to the borders of the world, only to expose the weakest heartlands to mortal uprisings.
The last legacy of the Council of Truth is gone.
In the ignorance of mortals, the Earth Legion, which had lost the support of the Empire, had finally failed, the power of the Dragon of Dusk had long since awakened, and Roman was only the final countdown to its arrival in this world.
"When did the undead first see the crystal clusters?"
ββ¦β¦ Seventy-seven years ago, the Undead Lords of Robul arrived at an ancient battlefield while venturing south, from where they recovered the Mercury Staff......"
ββ¦β¦ Soon after, there was the Starfall Disaster, which was only visible in the southern part of Madara and the Jiufeng region. It wasn't long before a rift appeared in the borders of the Black Forest, and the Strange Monsters began to invade our world from that point on. β
"Even if you have a staff of mercury, you can't resist them?"
"It's too much...... Few people know that Madara has lost half of its southern borders. β
"So you're going to move westward and north, to invade Eruin and St. Osor, and the whole civilized world?" Brando asked, his voice a little serious, "Fellow Martha's people, why don't you warn us?" β
"Because you are human beings, we are the undead," Instaron replied, "and we are not just for escape. β
"Because of Eruin?"
Instarong looked at him steadily, and for the second time he was stuck.
It took a long time for him to speak slowly, "It's terrible for me to be you this time, Lord ......Lord."

(PS: I wanted to recommend this two days ago, but it was updated too late before, so I forgot about it.) Lord Soth AO is back to write a book, and I'm sure some of you will remember his "Mage Story", this is the DM under him, and his stuff is definitely more reliable. So I recommend his new book - "Twenty-sided dice", the book number is: 3559491, friends who are short of books may wish to take a look. (To be continued......)
