Act 292 The Beginning of a Real Change
Act 292 is the beginning of a real change
Brando kept the second and third in his heart and didn't say anything in the end. There were some words that were not suitable to be said in front of the royal party, and he knew from the beginning that the royal party and Princess Griffiin were destined to have different paths. As he turned to leave, the kingdom had been reduced to a crumbling palace behind him, and he seemed to see a sea of fire, and the drunken nobles of Eruin had long since destroyed the foundations of this ancient state—even the best of the kingdom, Macaro, Lewoods, and Overwell, whose gaze was limited by tradition, or rather feared change.
How similar history is, as long as compromise can win, the royal party has the best chance for them to turn around at this moment; But not so with the princess, Brando had seen in her eyes what she wanted—unfortunately, it was something that the old nobles of Eruin were not destined to give her.
However, for Brando, only ruining miè at this moment can bring new life. What they can't give, he gives.
Sometimes a word is enough, and some are not destined to be saved. He came with Freya to the outside of Locksh Palace, "Sue! Freya cried out in pleasant surprise, and the girl with black skin and hair braided in braids stood outside the palace with a smile, dressed in the clothes of a merchant's daughter, "Miss Freya, you have grown a little taller." She replied gently.
"Sue, give this letter to the Naga clan." Brando took out a letter and handed it to Sue. Sue nodded and silently accepted the letter, she was a taciturn and reliable girl, and Brando had always been extremely relieved of the daughter of the bronze dragon Leto.
"Naga?" Freya turned around and asked in surprise, "Brando, I heard that the Naga are pirates of the Sea of Lights, and I didn't know you even knew them?" ”
Brando couldn't help but smile and teased her, "I know a lot of people, but you don't know most of them." ”
"Hmph, dead nobleman." Freya said through gritted teeth.
Sue looked at the two of them and couldn't help but shake her head—she took the letter, which represented the breakdown of the negotiations—as a bartender's daughter, she didn't care what the future of the kingdom was, but she didn't care, it didn't mean that Freya could be indifferent. The girl suddenly raised her head, "Brando, what do you think now?" ”
"I have done my duty, and I intend to return to Toniguel and wait for Her Royal Highness the Princess to join forces with Enlek to provoke a war-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Freya staring at him suspiciously. Brando couldn't help but sweat a little, thinking to himself if he was so untrustworthy, "Tell the truth, Brando. Freya closed her eyes and replied angrily. This guy is just as liar as Roman, and she doesn't believe he'll just let it go.
He has the ability to achieve what he wants, and the point is that his determination can always be stronger than others. Freya knew this, and Brando had long been synonymous with omnipotence in her heart. What's more, subconsciously, she didn't want Her Royal Highness the princess to ally with An Lik.
As a commoner and highly educated person, she distrusts the old aristocracy of Eru in her bones.
"Kill." Brando replied lightly.
Freya was slightly stunned and looked up at Brando.
Brando didn't say anything more, Wang Dang gave him an answer, and then he had to give everyone an answer. He disdained to explain too much with people like Macaro and Lewoods, because only the sword could explain a qiē, and at the same moment that he realized that the king was irretrievable, he had already made up his mind to carry out the second plan.
A plan that has been decided for a long time.
Intervened in the Ampesel peace talks by force and provoked a war with his own hands.
Then the kingdom will be plunged into a great war, the flames will be burned out, the decayed will be reduced to ashes, and only those who will truly stand the test will survive. Brando was personally involved in this war, and it has a name, it is called the Eruin Civil War.
At this time, the melodious bells rang over the port, and Brando turned around, and the Ampesel meeting had begun. Historically, the meeting lasted seven days, and the nobles chattered and argued at the meeting, and then they brought the peace talks to a happy end with a very different result - war.
The aristocrats are so ridiculous.
"Brando!"
Brando heard a voice calling out to himself, and he thought it was Otares - he had discussed the situation in Eruin with the Wind Elf lady who was like his division commander - but Brando turned around and saw Dilferi standing in the palace of Locksh, the Earl of Swallowburg, dressed in a formal suit, and the knight Nia standing behind her, as if she was about to go to the meeting.
But now she stopped and glared at Brando with some anger: "The meeting is about to start, what are you still doing?" ”
Brando was stunned, since he had decided to provoke a war, it didn't really make sense to participate in this meeting or not. In fact, he had sneaked into the meeting room today just to see Griffithine, and he was really not interested in such an aristocratic meeting. What's more, didn't she tell this eldest lady that she would separate as soon as she entered the venue, what did she mean by that?
Brando couldn't help but look at Dilferry with some puzzlement.
Miss Earl gritted her teeth, "You are my retainer, if you don't join me in the meeting, do you want me to be a laughing stock?" ”
Freya stared at Brando suspiciously, and the meaning in her eyes was 'Didn't you say you coerced this young lady into bringing you into the venue?' Of course, Brando noticed this 'pure and simple' look, but he also had a big headache, and said to himself, who knows what madness this eldest lady has? But now is not the business of explaining this, since Dilferi has already said so, his indifference will only make anyone suspect his identity - and he needs to stay in Ampessel for a few days, and he does not intend to expose himself to everyone so early.
Thinking of this, Brando had to shake his head and walk over. He looked at Miss Dilferrey angrily and asked, "Miss, what are you mad about?" Aren't you afraid that you will have something to do with me, a 'cultist'? ”
Dilferrey glanced at him, and a trace of blush oozed from his snow-white face: "You have caused me so much trouble, I asked you to accompany me to the meeting, do you want to refuse?" Seriously, you still owe me a favor, you shouldn't have the right to refuse my request, right? ”
"You're not going to have stage fright, are you?" Brando, seeing Dilferry's shy look, suddenly asked strangely.
"So what?" Miss Earl snorted lightly: "You are a sword saint anyway, I will feel at ease with you by my side." ”
Brando sighed, and suddenly felt that it might be a good idea to participate in this meeting. Enlek and the Templars' attitude towards the royal party had changed subtly from history, and he had a vague premonition that something might happen at this meeting that was beyond his control, and this premonition calmed his mind.
The Meeting of Ampesel is one of the most famous events in Eruin's history, and due to its early on-game time, only a handful of players witnessed this aristocratic event. Brando was not one of the witnesses, and he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to participate in this historical event himself.
The meeting was held in such a rotunda with a huge ring table filled with elites from all over the kingdom. There was no light in the hall, only a natural ray of sunlight hanging from the vault, and the dust rose and fell in the soft light, so stark that it was so striking that it was impossible to even see the faces of the participants for a while.
Brando sat at the bottom of the south with Dilferry, while Nya, the female knight, as a bodyguard, did not sit. It took him a while to get used to the light, and he could see the faces of the nobles in the darkness, and in the far north were the kings and princesses, and Brando's heart moved slightly when he noticed that Princess Griffien was also paying attention to him.
On the other side, there was the indifferent Archduke Anlek and his entourage, this old fox from a military background was very deep, and Brando could not see the slightest useful expression in his knife-like face; And under the head of the Grand Duke of Anlek sat the Marquis of Balta, who looked a little restless and nervous.
Looking down further, there is a stern middle-aged man, this guy looks like the kind of character who has a righteous face and would rather bend than bend. Brando recognized the man, Count Yanirasu, commander of the Royal Fleet and captain of the flagship Fronta. He should be one of the few diehards of the royal family, and he does not belong to the royal party, so he did not show up in the morning, probably because he was dragged by others.
Brando remembered the Count and continued to look down. Then he saw the bearded Count Vitokin, and the gray-faced Count of Grey Hill sitting on his side, these two men were also the deaths of the Siphach family, and Brando only glanced at them and passed these two men. Then he saw a group of knights in green samurai uniforms, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but secretly scream.
These knights are none other than the Highland Knights.
In fact, what really made Brando secretly groan was that when he looked at these knights, the middle-aged man who was obviously the leader among these knights also turned around, as if he had spotted him at a glance, and smiled at him. Brando suddenly called out to me, he disguised himself as a highland knight can be said to be hidden, but he can't hide it from these locals. Brando's mind raced to guess what the guy meant by smiling at him.
In fact, the Highland Knights rarely left the province of Karasu, and the Grand Duke of Karasu himself did not like to intend to deal with the affairs of the kingdom. It can be seen from the fact that he didn't plan to participate in this event in person at all, so he hastily sent a group of knights to serve as envoys, but Brando scolded that this guy sent a bunch of highland knights, and the people in charge of diplomacy in Karasu Province are not generally wizards?
He looked away with some humility, and then saw the envoy corps of the Grand Duke of Vieiro on the other side. The temper of the current Grand Duke of Vieiro is the same as that of the Grand Duke of Carasu, this guy has a feud with the Count Jean Denel, because Brando is fighting with this Lord Count on the border, and he has no intention of raising the Temple of Fire or the nominal ruler of the kingdom - even the envoys have sent a little crooked guy over at random, which makes people laugh and cry.
Of course, for the same reason, Count Jean Denel was not present. Therefore, it can be said that because of Brando, the two big names who should have been present in history were absent, and this so-called Ampesel meeting suddenly became a little nondescript, and Brando couldn't help but be a little proud when he saw this scene.
I don't know what's going on in the Flame Temple, but he can be said to have changed history anyway, hasn't he?
Duke Goran-Elson arrived as scheduled, but Brando knew very well that this guy was here to make soy sauce. If he hadn't suddenly remembered that he still had a piece of stolen goods from someone else in his hand and was about to sell it, Brando would probably have forgotten about this guy.
Grand Duke Sifah was also present in person, and then Prince Liuke, and the eldest son of the king did not seem to come. Brando narrowed his eyes, theoretically speaking, the Sifach family has arrived, and the Kolkova family should let the current eldest son of the king represent, and if the eldest son of the king does not come, it is equivalent to leaving this position to Griffiin by default. Brando wondered why the Siphach family had made such a mistake, could it be because they had lost faith in the temple after the incident that morning?
Isn't that the assassination planned by you guys, what kind of pretending to be pure, Brando couldn't help but think with some disdain.
And it was at this time that the last three attendees finally arrived.
Brando's first recognition was the Archon Ampesel, but he didn't really care about this man, who was clearly here to make peace. He was more concerned about the representative of the temple, he raised his head, and the first person who walked out was the bishop who presided over the meeting, this person was insignificant, and the representative of the temple of fire who walked out behind the bishop made Brando open his eyes suddenly.
It's the right time for you!
Brando's heart jumped, and the representative of the Temple of Fire who came out of the darkness was the current owner of the Great Temple of Andrvoul, the High Priest of the Ampesel region. But it wasn't Wood, it was a man with sunken eyes, a hooked nose, and a grim face. Brando recognized this guy at a glance, High Priest Merros, a representative of the radical faction of the Temple, and the high priest of the Temple who was supposed to succeed Wood in two months.
How can it be! Brando's head couldn't turn for a while, how could Murros arrive at Ampesel so early? But he suddenly reacted, no wonder, no wonder the attitude of the temple would suddenly change one hundred and eighty degrees, since Merrose had entered the Great Temple of Andreux, it meant that the Cruz people were ready to take over the affairs of Eruin.
Wood's side must be in trouble. Brando thought of this immediately, but now was not the time to think about the troubles of the Lord Priest, the question now was, why did Merrose appear here earlier? Historically, the presiding officer of the Ampesel Council was probably the Wood Priest.
Brando suddenly felt that a wide opening had opened in the history he knew, and that something in it had been changed permanently.
