Act 120: Ambush VI
Seeing an existence with extreme strength next to the lord of a small place like Rosalin really surprised Brando. Although that person's strength has not yet completely reached the Extreme Plains, it should be hovering in the last stage of the peak of the law - a bit like the Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles in the Ring of Trade Winds, it can be said that only half a foot has stepped into the Extreme Realm, but even if there is only this half foot, it is enough to prove that the other party is a genuine Extreme Realm powerhouse.
He has also seen the knights around the city lord of Rosalin, and their personal strength is relatively strong, and the average level is also very high, much higher than the big leaders of Eruin Anlek and Sifah, but they are barely on the same level as the Cruz Empire.
But places like Rosalyn are about the same as the outlying areas of Anzeruta within the Empire, with the same fierce folk and the same uneven distribution of power - the level of strength of ordinary people is about the same as that of most places in Eruin, but the strength of knights and adventurers is significantly higher.
However, even in a place like Anzeruta, he had never heard of a lord who could have an Extreme Realm powerhouse by his side, not even a Semi-Extreme Realm powerhouse.
First of all, how could the local lord He De let the powerhouses of the Extreme Realm serve them? The existence of the extreme realm of the entire empire is only a two-handed number, counting those who are hidden, there will be no more than twenty people, and how many lords are there in the empire? Excluding the knights, there are hundreds or thousands of knights' salaries.
Secondly, most people can't afford to raise an Extreme Realm powerhouse, and the Extreme Realm powerhouse has to go down this path. Countless resources need to be consumed, just like himself, if he hadn't been lucky enough to experience the baptism of the Great Demon Tide. Nor could it have come this far. But how much pure magic is there outside the laws of Tiamat that are brought about by the tides set off by the sea of magic? If converted into magic crystals and other similar products, how many magic crystal ores do you need to have in Vaulnd to sustain such consumption?
Far from it, his titular teacher, Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles alone, consumes one-fifth of the magic crystals produced in the Black Forest every month.
And the same amount is almost half of the consumption of the entire Valhalla fleet, one person is equal to half of the floating fleet, and a few lords can afford it. If it weren't for Brando's ability to exploit the resources of the Black Forest with the druids, Fir Collar wouldn't have been able to keep his titular teacher for long.
Of course. It is not excluded that there are some Extreme Realm powerhouses who are the patrons of a smaller principality or kingdom, or simply a member of the royal family or family with a high ranking in this kingdom and the principality. Out of the need to protect their descendants and inheritance, they may stay in a barren land for a long time regardless of personal gains and losses - even if this choice is not conducive to his search for law and power - but such people often give up on continuing on this road**, they put more attention on the claim for secular power, and it is difficult to gain an inch in strength.
After all, after the Extreme Realm, there is a boundless road. Since the Battle of the Sages, there has been little one who has been able to go any further to the realm of the Sages. So there are indeed quite a few people who choose this path.
It's just that Brando doesn't feel that the middle-aged man in front of him is such a person.
First of all, he had nothing to do with the Rosarin family, because he didn't look like a native of Rosalin in any way, to be exact, he was a foreigner: long light brown hair, light blue eyes, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose, and fair skin. At first glance, he is a standard Warnde.
Moreover, Brando also judged that the other party should be from the south of the Cruz Empire, and was a descendant of the Gray Mountain people in the area of Anzeruta and the Gray Mountain. The Eruin race there has formed a special race because of their long-term interbreeding with the Imperials.
How could such a person come together with Lord Rosalin?
He suddenly remembered that Nasin seemed to have said that the captain of Rosalin's number one guard was a foreigner, and the other party claimed to be from Cruz, as if he was called Boban or something. But Brando felt that the name did not sound like a Cruz name, but more like a pseudonym.
Brando let go of the suppression of the knights in front of him the moment he saw this person, it was not a wise thing to take the initiative to open the Extreme Plains in front of an opponent of the same level, he didn't want to commit the same stupidity as Williams. Normally, only wizards will take the initiative to pull their opponents into their own Polar Plains, because for wizards the Polar Plains is only a means to establish home field advantage, they trust their magic more, and magic is the means to win.
The Rozarin knights suddenly felt their strength unrestrained, and they almost fell off the saddle of the pterosaur because they lost their balance - if it weren't for the ties on their leggings and the saddle - but even so, these knights were so frightened that they lay on their saddles, as if they were not masters of the Golden Rank, but ordinary people who had never ridden a horse.
These knights were sweating profusely, and their faces were a little difficult to look at, because they understood that Lord Rosalin was looking in that direction, and judging from the somewhat gloomy faces of the other party, it was obvious that they were quite dissatisfied with their performance.
Fortunately, Boban intervened to stop his lord.
He was also looking at Brando, in fact, the captain of the guard was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and the moment Brando let go of the suppression of those knights, he understood that this young man's strength might be a little terrifying.
This terrible means beyond his imagination.
A true Extreme Realm powerhouse may not even be in the early stage of the Extreme Realm, because when Brando unfolded the Extreme Plains, he didn't see the appearance of the opponent's Extreme Plains. Integrating the Polar Realm with the Material Realm is something that can only be done in the late Polar Realm.
But the late stage of the Extreme Realm is a broad range, and it is not easy to say to what extent it will be in the late stage.
For the average Extreme Realm powerhouse, Boban is somewhat sure in his heart, even in the middle and late stages of the Extreme Realm, he is not without the strength to fight. Don't look at the fact that he only has half of the strength of the Extreme Realm now, but that is just the traces left on him by time and injuries, and in his peak period, a young man like Brando made him a little surprised at most.
However, there is such a genius in this era, Boban still has a little emotion in his heart.
He thought that the turbulent era he had experienced was already the most glorious period of Vaughnde. In the decades that followed, the names of the past passed away, the empires seemed to fall into a long depression, and the thrilling era that preceded the war was gone, leaving only memories of the past.
He thought that after that, the mortal kingdom would fall into a long period of depression, but he did not expect that half a century had just passed, and such a genius would be born in this land again.
And there's not just one.
The two undead behind Brando, as well as the little girl standing beside them, caught his eye. Although the talents of Instarong and Tagus are only as bright as the light of the moon compared to the strength of Brando's open hanging, they are still considered to be the top among ordinary geniuses, especially the Black Lord of Madara, although he is an undead, his actual age this year is actually only the same size as Brando.
As for Phoenix Fire, needless to say, Brando felt that if he didn't have the system to endorse him, he would probably be thrown out of dozens of streets by the other party.
Before seeing these people, Boban thought that he should have left everything in the past a long time ago, and he left Vaulnd for Jiufeng, leaving the land that he had always dreamed of for nearly half a century, and the old Lord Rosalin pulled him when he was at his worst, and he always thought that he would always protect this family that was actually a little dilapidated because of this kindness, at least in his opinion.
Until a hundred years later, he left this world with his own secret.
But today, the young man standing in front of him seemed to have regained his desire for the truth, he knew that his time was short, but there was a moment in his heart that the idea of becoming an undead was ignited.
The shock in his heart did not come from Brando's strength and talent.
It's the other person's face.
It was a typical Eruin face, slightly handsome, but it was not worth mentioning next to Instarong and Tagus, who were known to be one of the three handsome men in Romandor as later generations of players, the other two being Tagus and Tydios.
So around them, Brando seemed a little overshadowed.
"Mr. Boban, the little girl next to this young man should be the person the ghost car is looking for, and they should have an accomplice, I don't know where they went." Lord Rosalin was not stupid, he knew in his heart the level of strength of his knights, and Brando could trick these people like a monkey, obviously the level of strength was obviously disproportionate to the youth he appeared.
He also knew that he had a few pounds and taels under him, so even if Boban didn't stop him, he wouldn't act rashly. His knights were not worth mentioning, but the Rosalin family could not have come up with a more convincing force, it was indeed a ruined family, which had long since his father had given him the position of head of the house, or since the Rosalin family had migrated here after their defeat from the Swift Plains.
But fortunately, he still has someone to rely on, he knows how powerful the titular captain of the guard is, and the other party is not actually a retainer of the Rosalin family, but because he has received his father's favor and stayed here to take care of his descendants.
