"When, of course you can." Haruzer stammered back.

"Thank you, little brother." The little girl thanked her again, then lifted her skirt and sat down generously next to His Royal Highness the future King of Eruin.

However, Haruzer obviously did not have any consciousness as a crown prince, his face was as red as a ripe apple, and he looked helpless, as if he wanted to get closer to the little girl, but he was afraid that touching the other party would cause the other party to be unhappy.

Brando couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene, the little prince didn't look like a member of the royal family, and he couldn't even compare to the average noble heir, and he really didn't know how Overwell and his sister taught him.

However, he thought of an interesting question, if Haruzer really liked this little girl, what would happen to Echo and Yura's daughter Ellara in the future?

Is this a change in history?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and stare at the little girl, to be honest, he also admired this little girl. In Eruin's time, most of the daughters of ordinary commoners could not have such a down-and-out figure, while the children of aristocratic families were mostly high-flying and domineering, and they had long forgotten the etiquette of the sages.

In Brando's mind, Faina is a typical example. But fortunately, the girl's nature is not bad, and she didn't make too much trouble for him. It's a different ......

When he thought of the prime minister's daughter, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his brain.

But while he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Lorenna ask with some concern, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

The little girl raised her head and glanced at the female knight, and replied in a milky voice: "Originally, my mother said that names cannot be told to strangers casually. But I know that sister, you are a good person, so I can whisper to you-"

Then she posted it and whispered to Laurena, "Big sister." My name is Mikaya. ”

But this sentence was whispered. However, at least half of those present heard clearly. In addition to the little prince and Charles, Medisa, and Hipamela, whose strength had dropped significantly, Brando, Freya, Akane, Nimesis, and Firas all heard it clearly—after all, as a Cunzi with the strength of silver or above, it was still very easy to hear the unintentional whispers of a little girl at such a close distance.

However, the mountain girl and Freya naturally won't say it. Firas's mind wasn't on it at all, in fact he was salivating and staring at the jar of honey beside Brando.

Of the four, only Brando raised an eyebrow slightly.

Mikaya –

The name sounds familiar.

He was alerted, and now he was very sensitive to such feelings. Because the past is in the game. There are so many records about the background, history, and information that everyone can't know everything, but most of the names and events of people with a certain degree of popularity will more or less leave a trace in the hearts of players.

The deeper the trace, the more important the event. And the acquaintance with the War of the Black Roses, such an unforgettable event for Brando, is something that will never be forgotten for the rest of his life.

The name he knew but couldn't remember meant that there were two possibilities.

One possibility is that the name itself does not represent a very outstanding meaning, but it occupies a place in history. Another possibility is that the owner of this name may be very famous, but not very much in contact with him.

The former is such as the replacement of some small local lords. The latter are like the masters of the sub-seats in the Buga Twelve. Although the Council of Twelve, the Silver People, was all terrifying, but apart from the names William and Tulaman, Brando really couldn't name the full names of several others.

Of course, seeing the name may be able to remember the identity of the other person. But it's not so easy to remember every detail.

Come to think of this. He couldn't help but straighten up with some seriousness. And at the same time, he saw that the female knight opposite him, Nimesis, also looked at the little girl with some serious eyes-

But the little girl was more perceptive than he had imagined. She seemed to notice Brando's abnormality, and raised her head to look at him with some fear: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

Uncle...... Uncle?

Brando almost didn't vomit out a mouthful of blood, even if it was next month's birthday, he was only twenty-one years old! Twenty-one years old! How did you become an uncle?

He took a deep breath and finally calmed down. Forget it, anyway, at the age of his other soul, it wouldn't be a big deal to be called uncle. He paused for a moment and asked in what he thought was the gentlest voice he thought, "Little sister, you said your name is Mikaya?" What is your full name? ”

Brando was sure that his expression at that moment would be the softest, and that he would never be mistaken for the strange uncle who had abducted Lori with a lollipop - but he immediately realized that it was nothing more than his own delusion.

Mikaya looked at him with some fear, then suddenly slipped down from her chair and replied carefully, "My name is Mikaya, uncle." My mom and dad are coming, I'll go first, thank you-"

Then she bowed to everyone and ran outside.

"Wait......" Brando was slightly stunned, and was about to reach out to stop the little girl. But it was at this time that he saw a man running in from outside the hotel.

As soon as the man entered the inn, he shouted to this side, "Found it, sir!" ”

Only then did Brando notice that the man was clearly bald, this was the innkeeper who had been sent out to help him inquire about the news, and when he saw this guy, Brando swallowed the words that came to his throat back into his stomach. He glanced at the little girl named Mikaya from a distance, who had already run to the counter in a few moments.

Forget it, Brando couldn't help but sigh - anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, and besides, his most urgent task is obviously not to investigate the identity of a little girl. On the contrary, the most important thing for him now is the news that the bald boss brought back.

I don't know if he has found useful information.

He looked in that direction, and the bald innkeeper had run to them out of breath. He looked at Brando with a look of great admiration, and gasped and replied, "Your Excellency, you are really like a god—"

"Straight to the point." Brando threw a gold coin over and knew what this guy was up to.

"I've asked, and it's strange that the hunters did go straight into the forest without any preparation. I haven't heard anyone dare to be so bold in all these years. The innkeeper smiled innocently and put away the gold coins. He replied in a nagging voice: "They didn't prepare tools, and they didn't even bring supplies, so they were really crazy." ”

"They're not crazy." Laurenna's voice interjected, interrupting him: "It's because someone has prepared supplies for them. ”

"Who?" The innkeeper was stunned.

Except for him, everyone present looked at each other with a clear expression. Even including Firas, who has always been slow to react.

Who will prepare supplies for those hunters?

Naturally, there is only the cunning fox of Anlek.

Because in recent times there have been almost no records of caravans entering and leaving the country. So Brando was almost certain that Anlek hadn't entered Repulse at all, but they still needed a local guide, as no one was as familiar with the forest as he was.

Therefore, he could deduce that Anlek must have bypassed Reshallow Water Town, only sent someone to hire some local hunters, and then went straight into the forest.

Once you have this clue, the next tracking will be much easier.

Brando's eyes fell silent, and he put down the map. "When did those hunters enter the forest?" ”

"A week ago, sir." The innkeeper took the money and naturally did his best. replied without hesitation.

week. Brando groaned slightly. This is not a long time, and it is very likely that Anlek has not yet crossed the northern part of the Anratser Forest.

But it can't be too late. They had to do it right away, too.

Of course, he still has to have more advantages before then. He raised his head, and the female knight Laurena and her fiancé Filas on the side both looked at the lord with some admiration, although filtering out useful information from useless rumors was actually only the most basic and compulsory course for most veteran adventurers and mercenaries, but in the eyes of 'novices' like them, who had just left home for the first time, Brando suddenly rose to the height of wisdom.

At this moment, Brando was pulling out a roll of parchment from under his cloak and throwing it to the innkeeper, "You, read this. ”

"Me?" The innkeeper was slightly stunned by Brando's sudden movement, and in his previous impression, although this aristocratic young man was very capable, the difference between him and those gentlemen was not too great. But it seemed that all of a sudden, the nobleman opposite him had changed, and the feeling was like a sword out of its sheath, and it became sharp.

Brando nodded at the parchment roll and nodded to him.

The innkeeper picked up the parchment roll with trepidation, and slowly opened it. But he had barely finished reading the first row when he almost threw it out in a shudder.

"Wang ...... Knights of the Royal Family...... Your Excellency, you are a knight of the royal family? The innkeeper asked, pale, and couldn't help but stammer, and he wiped his sweat as he asked.

Brando nodded—this was one of the identities that Princess Griffiin had appointed him, and in fact, after the Battle of Ampesel, with the support of the Sanctuary of Fire, the princess's power could almost be regarded as orthodox in Eruin. In addition to the northern aristocracy, Anlek, who colluded with the All Things to One Society, had already been declared a heinous crime by the Temple and was wanted by the Templars.

Therefore, it can now be said that the difference in status between him and the Duke is completely lost compared to when he first 'stole' Grudin's title from Toniger. In the past, his real identity was a bandit, a rebel, and a bandit, but now Anlek is a cultist wanted by the Temple of Fire.

In this case, of course, he must make good use of the advantages brought by this reversal of identity on the surface. Brando pushed the parchment in front of the innkeeper and said sternly, "So now you know who we are?" ”

"Big ...... My lord. The bald innkeeper replied, sweating profusely.

"Don't worry, we're not here to trouble you," Brando was a little speechless when he saw that this guy was so frightened that he was so frightened. I had to say with relief: "But I can tell you now that the guys who let you investigate before enter the forest are a group of vicious cultists-"

"Your Excellency, are you saying those hunters are cultists?" I don't know where the courage came from, and the innkeeper was surprised to interrupt Brando's words.

Brando was speechless for a moment, "No, I mean the guys who hired them in. ”

"Oops!" Hearing this, the innkeeper suddenly jumped up as if the soles of his feet had been burned by fire: "In this way, aren't those hunters who enter the mountain dangerous?" ”

Brando breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect this greedy and philistine guy to worry about others, and couldn't help but show a slight look of appreciation. He nodded, "Exactly, so you hurry to find the hunters' families—their wives and daughters, their parents, and those who know them well." They must have known the way the hunters were accustomed to take to enter the forest at this time of year. ”

He paused for a moment and continued, "We have to catch up with the cultists before they do. ”

"You understand?"

The bald innkeeper was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded and patted his chest to Brando, promising Brando to find those related people immediately. Brando really didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and finally sent him away, and when he turned around, he saw Freya a little worried and asked, "Are those hunters really dangerous, Brando?" ”

"There is a danger, but it's not a big problem for now," Brando replied after a moment's thought, "at least until he leaves the Froststained Forest, and Anlek will certainly not do anything to them." ”

"Your Excellency, did you say that so to make him hurry up a little?" Lorenna asked, puzzled, "But doesn't that make the hunters' families worry out of thin air?" ”

Brando shook his head: "To be able to catch up with An Lik, naturally the sooner the better." I'm afraid that guy is too careful and wastes unnecessary time, and besides, it's better to worry than to die. ”

"I see, you're right." The knight nodded.

Brando turned to see the innkeeper crawl out of the doorway, his bare bald head standing out on the street. He took a light breath and looked down at the map spread out on the table, his gaze subconsciously moved to the area around Lantoniland, but suddenly, he saw a familiar place name:

Arucher.

Aruche, Mikaya......

Brando's mind flashed like a bright electric light. He couldn't help but scream in his heart, ", Arucher, Mikaya-"

"That little girl is the future witch king!"
