Act 103: The Shadow of the Dead (Part II)
Brando nodded: "If you are talking about the previous news, then as far as I know, it should be true, you should know that I am an Eruin, and my homeland is being invaded by this undead empire that is being united, which is why I am so anxious to return to Vaughnde." ”
"You can think about it," Brando replied, "you and Miss Phoenix Fire were going to Lubik, but we turned back because of the falling star, so that even if you leaked the news in Yugang, the ghost car should not stop you in Rosalin, but it turns out that not only did they judge the right direction you went after leaving Yugang, but they also knew that you changed your plans halfway." ”
"You are traveling with Miss Huanghuo, and there is no second one among them who knows about this, and the only outsiders you have met along the way are me and Mr. Nasin, but according to your description, it is impossible for them to pass the news to Rosalin in advance along the way."
"In that case, there is only one chance that the undead of Madara have betrayed you." Brando paused for a moment before continuing: "But the undead are on their own, and you have passed through at least a dozen undead lords' territories along the way, how can the ghost car determine that you will finally go to Tomro and arrive in Rosalem?" There is only one possibility, and that is that the will of the mercury staff has reached the eastern border of Madara, and has colluded with the ghost car. ”
At this point, Brando paused, and did not speak any further. Unlike Mr. Liu, his eyes have never been limited to Jiufeng, so when Mr. Liu told him the secret between Yufeng and the ghost car, he realized that there might be the undead spirit of Madara who was playing tricks.
Without it, it was only because Rosaline was so close to Madara and it was too much of a coincidence.
And what good is it for the supreme man with the mercury rod to collude with these rebels of the Nine Phoenixes? It's hard to say, and in fact he's not sure unless the Black Rose of Bramanto is willing to make waves in both directions. Only in this way can their intentions be explained.
But this is also a bit too arrogant.
Mr. Liu lacked knowledge of the War of the Black Roses that took place in Eruin, but his understanding of the situation in Jiufeng was even deeper, and his face couldn't help but sink slightly when he heard this.
He could fully imagine how troublesome it would be if the ghost car had the support of the undead and launched an attack on Jiufeng from the Swift Plains and the Qingyu Hills.
But do those people really have the guts?
"Will Mardara attack Jiufeng?" He couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
Brando shook his head. He didn't answer, which was not good, after all, he didn't know what the madman with the mercury rod was thinking.
Although Madara has always coveted the anointed lands of Eruin and St. Osor, the purpose of their war is obviously more than that, in the afterlife, the undead will attack the civilized world as if they want to destroy the entire world, if they do not know that they are still Masha's followers, players outside of Madara would almost think that these undead have become pawns of the Dragon of Dusk.
Their aggressive intentions have clearly gone beyond the desire to occupy resources, and have become simply an act of madness. Otherwise, Cruz, Faenzan, and St. Osore would not have been able to unite against Madara.
"Maybe not as bad as you think." Brando continued, "Madara also has enemies in the west, and the Cruz, Eruin, and Elves are all wary of these non-humans, who may simply want to take advantage of the ghost car's hatred for Jiufeng to do something in the Swift Plains. ”
"After all, they are waging a war in the west, and they don't want a strong adversary behind them." Brando thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only explanation.
However, he suddenly realized that his choice to help Mr. Liu and Huanghuo might be the right choice, since the enemy was afraid. That must be the weakness it is most worried about, if it can win over Jiufeng. Maybe Madara can't devote all his strength on the Western Front.
At least part of the attention of this dark empire is also good.
Mr. Liu nodded, he is not an indecisive person, anyway, no matter what the conspiracy of the undead is, the most important thing at the moment is to escort the second lady back to Jiufeng, and the Yufeng lineage can no longer afford the loss of another heir.
And the trickery of the ghost car is on the table. Naturally, it is much better than putting it in secret, thinking of this, he can't help but be grateful for Brando's reminder, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid that when the ghost car starts. Jiu Feng would only realize that there was a huge undead empire standing behind their opponents.
"Mercury Scepter ......"
He secretly remembered the term in his heart.
But at this time, Brando remembered something else, and he suddenly asked, "Mr. Liu, you and Miss Phoenix originally planned to cross Madala to Lubik, so you should have a map of Madara?" ”
Brando was slightly surprised in his heart, it was not an easy task to cross Madara, before the birth of the Mercury Staff, Madala was just a geographical term, this land stretched across thousands of miles of dark territory with countless undead and dark lords, each other's own affairs. Generally speaking, the Madara that the Eruin people are familiar with is actually only to the east of the Sea of the Dead Moon, and as for the very small part of the Pine Mountains, it is not impossible to say that this is the Black Rose of Bramanto, because even in the heyday of this dark empire, the Most High may not really rule the whole of Madara.
In fact, she only has mastered the anointed lands of this empire, and she only needs to master these core territories to be called the Dead Moon Empire.
And in the outlying parts of the Empire, even the players of this empire may not know where they extend, those lands that run through the Black Forest, only a few people have ever set foot in them, and the Buga may have a complete map of Madara, but they have never made it public.
It's not uncommon for players to traverse the entire territory of Madara, and there have been players who have performed this feat around the time of the Starfire, and it took nearly half a year including the time to get lost, and Brando obviously doesn't have the time to do it.
Of course, he knew that some of the Nine Phoenix people might have a map of a part of the territory south of Madara, because the Nine Phoenix had always had land caravans leading to the desert country of Lubik, but he didn't expect Mr. Liu and Huang Huo to have this idea.
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment and replied, "The Jiufeng Imperial Family has a detailed map, not only to Lubik, but also to the southern border of Eruin. However, that map was made more than 100 years ago, and we don't know if it was accurate. ”
Brando couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he asked with some eagerness, "Do you have this map?" ”
He was now at the peak of the Extreme Realm, only one step away from reaching the strength of the Sage Realm, and because of his equipment and ridiculously high will attributes, in fact, his physical fitness was actually far beyond the level of ordinary people in this realm.
With his strength, if he had a precise map, he would have traveled day and night without sleep, perhaps it would have been faster than taking the sea route by boat.
Unfortunately, Mr. Liu's answer disappointed him, because the other party did not plan to go to Eruin in the first place, and the accuracy of the map was questionable, so they actually only brought out half of the map to Lubik.
When Brando heard the news, he couldn't hide his disappointment, but he also knew that he couldn't force it, after all, not everyone went out with a cart full of documents and maps like those scholars.
He shook his head and said to Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, I have a reluctant request, if you can, can you give me a copy of your map." If it's really inconvenient, you can borrow me for a few hours. ”
He thought that if this was a royal treasure and it was inconvenient to rubbing, it would not be too troublesome to redraw a map in his mind with the help of the system with his current memory level, but fortunately, Mr. Liu did not hesitate to take out the map box from his sleeve and hand it to him after listening to his words, and said that he could read it for as long as he liked, and it didn't matter if he returned it after rubbing, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After relieving the haze of the conspiracy from Mardara and the ghost car, the two talked happily along the way, Mr. Liu was quite interested in the customs and customs of Eruin, and when he occasionally mentioned it, Brando found that the Nine Phoenix Swordsman was not ignorant of Vaynd, on the contrary, the other party seemed to be quite familiar with the relationship between Eruin and the Cruz and other empires.
This made Brando a little embarrassed, because in comparison, he didn't know anything about Jiufeng, in fact, it was not only him, in "Amber Sword", for almost all players, Jiufeng was a mysterious country.
First, few people are willing to take a few months of ship to a foreign land, and secondly, Jiufeng's merchant fleet is not always available, as Mr. Liu said, they usually appear more in March and April and September to October, and at other times you can rarely see Jiufeng merchants anywhere in Vaynd.
However, on the contrary, Mr. Liu was amazed by Brando's language talent, according to his words, Brando was like a person who had lived in Jiufeng for decades, and was very proficient in many of Jiufeng's language habits.
As for Brando himself, he thought to himself, hasn't he lived in Jiufeng for decades?

(PS: Some people say that the plot has been a little slow recently, but in fact, the main reason is that I'm thinking about the plot later, so I don't dare to write too fast, plus after the end of a plot, the following plot needs some description and foreshadowing, so the plot will be slower for the time being.)
In addition, someone asked the question of the lonely nine swords.,It's like this.,Jiufeng was actually originally set up when the Amber Sword opened the group.,In order to introduce this expansion of DND.,In fact, there was originally a setting for Izumo.,Cut it for me.,So Jiufeng itself is built on this expansion book.,There are a series of genres of desert wind and white crows.,Of course, there will also be sage sword.,Sword of the military way.,But in the end, it's for the novel.,So it may be different from the setting of the expansion book.,In short, it's still subject to this book.。 (To be continued......)
