Act 290 Meeting
Act 290 Meeting
Marquis Yuxi stood in the shadows, watching Brando and Freya leave the inner court. Head. "Who is that woman?" "It seems to be the knight of the Guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess, my lord." "So Yan Bao intends to get close to the Wang Party, or is this a secret move by them?" The Marquis frowned, he decided that Brando was the Earl of Swallowburgh, and this sudden killing of the pawn made him feel a little threatened.
"It's just Yanbao, why is the Marquis worried." At this moment, a rough voice came from behind. Marquis Youxi turned his head and saw a bearded military attache standing behind him, he recognized this person, it was Count Vitokin, who was not in the meeting, he was the commander of the Black Blade Legion, a soldier, and one of the diehards of Duke Sifahe.
"Marquis Youxi." Beside Count Vitokin stood a young man with red lips and white teeth, bowing slightly to the king's brother. Only then did Marquis You Xi notice this young man, the young man had the aggressive edge of a young Zhuang soldier, and his eyes were amazingly bright, like a young eagle about to spread its wings.
Marquis You Xi's eyebrows moved, as if he recognized the other party.
However, he did not intend to answer the question of the Commander of the Black Blade Legion. Yanbao naturally didn't have to worry about it, but it was different with the High Priest of Wood standing behind him, but Marquis You Xi sneered in his heart, and he didn't intend to leak this information to this vulgar hillbilly. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised and greeted, "Cecil? I thought you weren't coming, I really will never forget the hunting ground in the gray mountain for a lifetime, the scenery is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and it is much more energetic than the royal hunting ground of His Majesty. Why, do you still welcome me as a guest when you have time? ”
Count Vitokin frowned, Cecil was his real name, but nobles often referred to him by his first name only by enemies and close friends. Marquis You Xi is obviously not his close friend, but the enemy can't be said, he also knows that this marquis's 'prestige' is outside, but when the other party talks about the hunting ground in Gray Mountain, he can't help but pull the corners of his mouth and change his face.
It involved something that almost disgraced his family, the last time Obergo VII visited Vitokin, the merry marquis had raped his sister. Of course, this was not a big deal, but the bad thing was that the other party's fiancé was also in the castle at the time. Naturally, he did not dare to disgrace His Majesty, so he had to let his sister take responsibility for the matter, and the poor woman was still a nun in the convent, and Count Vitokin couldn't help but be a little angry at the thought of it.
Fortunately, he also knew that it would be useless for him to be angry with the Marquis of Youxi--this is a laissez-faire fellow--Count Vitokin knew that his king's brother had always been jealous and narrow-minded, and no one wanted to offend such a person. Not to mention that now there are big people behind the other party. "Lord Marquis laughed," Count Vitokin smiled reluctantly, "how dare you compare it to His Majesty's hunting ground...... The young man just now must have been the one the Marquis had met a few days ago. ”
Marquis You Xi pretended to change his face, and at the same time secretly scolded the old guy in his heart for being really well-informed. "Which one?" He pretended to be puzzled.
"Lord Marquis doesn't have to hide it, this young man is a rare genius, and it is not a shame to be defeated by him." Count Vitokin smiled and rubbed his chin with his hand, "but it is not a good thing for a young man to be arrogant, and there is a proverb among the elves - 'The strongest beast often falls prey to hunters.'" ”
For Count Vitokin's comfort with a gun and a stick, Marquis You Xi was so angry on the surface that his face was blue, and he secretly scolded this guy for having bad intentions in his heart. However, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw the young man beside Count Vitokin, and hurriedly pretended to be angry and said: "It's really unlucky, I thought that the other party was just a hillbilly from somewhere, but I don't know what luck I had to do to win the favor of the chief priest; Presumably a decade or two later, this guy will be the top of Eruin's storage zài again. ”
As soon as he said this, Count Vitokin and the boy changed their faces. They didn't know the meaning of this sentence, the current commander of the Black Blade Legion, Count Vitokin, had been blessed by the previous main priest, so he had today's status. Head. He was well aware of the fact that he was far inferior to Brando's own abilities, so it was conceivable that Brando's achievements would be far superior to his in the future.
He frowned, thinking to himself that You Xi was referring to something. He couldn't help but glance at the other party quietly, but found that the Marquis's face was blue, and he didn't look like he was deliberately provoking. Vitokin was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, he looked down on the king's younger brother in his heart, and naturally he would not doubt that the other party could have such a plan.
At this time, the young man beside Vitokin smiled: "That's true, in terms of personal strength, I'm afraid Eruin can't find a more talented person than him at this age." However, the aristocracy never speaks by personal strength, and the nobles in the north may not give up the interests they have received because of a genius. A powerful figure like a sword master can only be brave on the battlefield. ”
"Really?" Marquis Youxi had a disgusted expression: "I can't find a more talented person than him in Eruin, I'm afraid it's not necessarily." I heard that Tonigel produced a hero, who stepped into the gold field at the age of twenty and showed extraordinary talent in military affairs. I don't know what you think? ”
The young man's face turned red, and he even compared him with a bandit, which was definitely the greatest insult among the nobles. If it weren't for Count Vitokin's fact that the other party had always been unscrupulous, and the identity difference between the two was too far, otherwise the Grand Duke of Sifach had not yet fought against the royal party here today, and there would have been a duel within himself first.
But even so, the young man was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He couldn't make a move against the king's younger brother, but in his heart he secretly hated Brando, who caused this topic, as for the 'hero' in the mouth of Marquis Youxi, the young man had not yet fallen into a situation with a bandit, in his opinion, the identities of the two were incomparable, and they were not from the same world at all.
At this time, Vitokin finally found out that something was wrong, and couldn't help but secretly curse You Xi, this guy is not enough to succeed, and he is more than defeated. However, he didn't doubt him, and quickly changed the subject: "Okay, Tonigel, that's something for that bastard of Denel to worry about, and it has nothing to do with us, right?" ”
"Nature." Marquis You Xi shrugged his shoulders, "It's just a passing mention below." ”
Count Vitokin, who looked like a fool of himself, finally couldn't stand it anymore, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Okay, Lord Marquis, you know that I am here to speak for that big man. Let's get down to business - the substitute you prepared made the big man very unhappy, and a discerning person could see the flaw at a glance, and Overwell and Macaro are both shrewd guys, so you are not afraid that they will see through it and cause alarm? ”
"What can you do if you are vigilant," Marquis You Xi smiled, "I didn't support this in the first place. I don't think my lovely niece can afford to make any waves, why don't you just let her abdicate and let Xian go? ”
"She hasn't ascended the throne yet, what is her abdication? What's more, it is also Haruzer's business to retreat. Count Vitokin scolded this guy for not being able to spit out ivory in his mouth, but he still reminded him in a low voice: "Do you want the people to give the impression that our Eruin nobles have backed down under the authority of the Cruz?" ”
"So what, isn't that true?" Marquis Youxi smiled slightly: "Do you think that you still care about that reputation, in fact, I just want to drag you on your back, since you want the throne, then naturally you have to pay something, right?" ”
Count Vitokin was so angry that he was so angry: "You are simply crazy. ”
"What did you say?" Marquis You Xi's face was cold.
Only then did Vitokin remember that there was a guy in front of him who would be revenged, and hurriedly replied, "It's nothing, it's just ...... This is crazy. If the people were allowed to leave the Temple of Fire and the Cruz to influence the opinions of the Eruin nobles, it would probably be detrimental to the rule of the Siphah family, and at that time, Eruin would be dead in name. Even for the sake of your nephew's future, you might as well be serious, right? ”
"What does that have to do with me?" Marquis You Xi sneered: "You want to reap the benefits, but you don't want to pay the price, so let me and An Lik carry the black cauldron?" Bitches aren't so easy to be. To be honest, although this morning's plan was a bit unexpected, I believe that the old guy of An Lek was not surprised at all, with only eight golden ranks, do you think you can really keep Lewoods and Her Royal Highness the Princess? You underestimate the power of our royal family, and now there are only two ways before you, one is to force my niece to abdicate and make way for Xian with the help of the Cruz, and the other is to return to the north to prepare for war. ”
"Presumably the old man is waiting for you to choose the second path." Marquis You Xi replied with a smile, as if this qiē had nothing to do with him.
Count Wittokin's face was red and white, and he couldn't even compare him to a bitch, and he broke out in a cold sweat on his vest. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Marquis You Xi deeply: "So you think so, is this what you want to bring to that big man, I understand." ”
Marquis Youxi shrugged: "Do you think that I am as afraid of the Cruz people as you are like a mouse seeing a cat?" ”
"That's right, Lord Marquis is naturally not afraid of heaven and earth." Count Vitoquin threw down a word of hatred, and then the wolf left the inner court in disgrace. It's just that as soon as he turned around, the smiling look on Marquis Youxi's face turned cold, and he rubbed his slender fingers, and the murderous intent in his eyes was unreserved.
"Lord Marquis, do you know that young man?" At this time, the attendant beside him asked in a whisper.
"That should be the heir appointed by Vitokin, I happen to know him, he has fought a few good battles with the Tokunin Lion, he is perfect, and he is also a genius, if nothing else, the next leader of the future Black Blade Legion will probably fall to him. What a lucky one. The Marquis smiled: "If nothing else." ”
……
The black tea in the white porcelain teacup has completely cooled and solidified into an agate-like face. There were only a few people in the richly furnished study, soft light pouring into the carpet from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the distant mountains outside; The light divided the room into two sides, Brando and Freya on one side, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and beside her stood Nimesis, Leo Woods, Makaro and Overwell, and a middle-aged nobleman who could not be named by Brando, who was slightly balding.
The future little king of Eruin, the young man named Haruzer, stood beside the middle-aged nobleman.
For the first time since Brando came to this world, he had time to look at the princess carefully, and after the mysterious aura in his impression faded, the beauty of the half-elf girl became clear in one step. Fortunately, he has seen a lot of beauties, a little resistance, he compared in his memory, and suddenly found that the princess in the previous life did not leave much impression in his impression except for the strong, unyielding and shining faith on his body, but like a beautiful symbol.
And the person in front of him is obviously much more real and kind.
If Brando had to give a rating, it would be a beautiful half-elf girl, with silver curls glistening in the afternoon sun, and slender shoulders as if wrapped in a soft halo. It's just that there is a trace of imperceptible distress hidden between the other party's eyebrows, and this girl who should be in the flower season is obviously carrying too many things.
At least Brando, half of the soul of a modern person, couldn't understand how a girl of her age could understand the dirtiest and darkest side of the political struggle and voluntarily throw herself into it. Brando, who had seen a number of analytical topics on the forum, included a memoir about Her Royal Highness, who saw herself as a commodity, accepting the high glory of Princess Eruin - glory to others, but responsibility to her.
He had never been in close contact with this princess in his previous life, and his senior sister had said that she was a stupid child—Brando couldn't help but look at this shrewd girl with some curiosity, was she really stupid?
In reality, Brando has always been respectful of this kind of person.
But here, he felt an inexplicable attraction, as if it had attracted him to moths to the fire. Fortunately, after so many things, Brando's heart was no longer the same, and he silently watched the princess for a while, and withdrew his gaze, in fact, Brando did not think that the choice of the royal party, including the current princess, was correct.
But it's true, it's just that there is no one more suitable for this position in Eruin now. Brando was a lazy man, and in his mind, as long as he helped Eruin through this difficult time and not repeat the mistakes of history, he would probably have no problem continuing the country for another one or two hundred years.
As for further afield, he never considered it. There has never been a dynasty in the world, and he just wants to make up for his regrets, but his greater interest is to explore the world beyond the wilderness.
"First of all, thank you for rescuing you at the meeting, Mr. Brando," the silence in the study was first broken by the Princess, who herself thanked herself—in a soft and pleasant voice, "but I can't say this thank you, the king has never met you, but you have given us a lot of help, and every time I have not had time to thank you, it is rude to say—"
"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Brando said habitually.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed that Griffiin's eyes lit up on the other side, and most of the others had changed their faces. Brando was slightly stunned, and then remembered that he had made a mistake - the eldest princess was the king's sister, and this title was only given after Griffiin was crowned regent and princess after Haruzer was crowned.
Fortunately, the royal party did not feel that there was anything wrong, and in their opinion, Brando's statement was an endorsement of Haruzer's status, which was an act of taking sides. Brando's attitude was made clear at the beginning, and he won the favor of everyone including Lewoods and Macarlo, and even the old court mage who had always had prejudices against Brando couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
This young man is witty and steady, and he can actually come up with such a way to stand in line, which is worthy of being the descendant of a big family, and everyone thinks so in their hearts.
Brando naturally didn't know that his slip of the tongue had caused so many misunderstandings, he smiled bitterly, and could only continue: "What happened in Tonigel was actually that I took advantage of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess doesn't have to apologize. ”
"Really?" Griffiin was in a good mood and smiled slightly, "But then again, we haven't really met Mr. Brando. There are rumors out there that you are a Highland Knight, may I ask if this is true? ”
Brando nodded.
……
Yesterday's chapter made a few mistakes in the brain-dead moment.,First of all, the skill is to add the crown of thorns and the blood of the burning sun to level 10 that were originally only added to level 5.,I also wrote the conflict aura into it for a while.,The conflict aura was added to level 10 in chapter 274.,In addition, the unlock level of the mid-level skill is level 30 instead of level 25.,Now it's been changed.。
The second mistake was a shake of the hand and Qiao Sen almost died in the hands of the corpse witch Qiao Sen died in the hands of the corpse witch, I, I dreamed that Qiao Sen came to me with a bloody face and said that I died so miserably...... Immediately knelt for Master Qiao Sen.
In addition, there is a premise about killing and experience. That is, these people are disguised as cultists, in fact, you can learn from the previous chapters that cultists like the Black Fire cultists who believe in chaos are regarded as monsters and have experience.
All in all, well, you just treat them as if they weren't human. The good order camp is not stupid, and if you want to go to the dragon of dusk, this is self-inflicted, you can't live, there is wood, it must be strange.
About compensation for yesterday's mistakes...... This one...... Is it good to roll around and sell a cuteness? )
