Act 200: The Flame of Dawn I
Brando didn't understand why the Elven Queen was emphasizing this with herself, but it was a problem. In Vaughnde, for the sons of nobles, the loss of fertility was a relatively strict matter: because while enjoying the power of the family, they went to
He has the obligation to reproduce and prosper the family, and for aristocratic women who have not yet married, the infertility is even stricter, because it will make them lose the ability to marry.
Although for Brando, who has half the soul of a modern man, he may not feel that losing the ability to marry is not necessarily a bad thing, but he also has to admit that in Vaughnde's aristocratic system, this is almost the greatest value of women, and many aristocratic daughters take it very seriously
It's about their future status.
He didn't know what Dilferry thought about this, but he vaguely felt that as the future heir of Yanbao, maybe it was only the first condition that Dilferry would not accept: she paid such a big price to practice demonic spells, just to revive the Yanbao family, how could she be willing to become a wasted person?
However, there is no need to turn away this gift, at least even if other people don't need these springs, there is nothing wrong with the deer body banshee sister, the deer body banshee sister Elaine is a card creature, and her power is not based on herself, but is given by the law, so it is likely that these
The tainted spring didn't hurt her, and it didn't matter to the card creatures whether they had children or not.
Moreover, he confirmed to the Elven Queen that there was nothing wrong with the ore in the spring, and that he had to accept the gift for the sake of the silver of the song.
In addition, he always felt that the elf queen's last reminder was not untargeted, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while, and when he asked the other party again, the other party also said that it was just a reminder. In the end, he had to think that he was a little too suspicious after a few big battles.
The Elven Queen quickly transferred the Fountain of Youth—although the Wild Elves' spatial spells were far less sophisticated than the Sanctuary of Fire—and there were no legendary portal spells like the Flame Gate, but it was no problem to transfer some small objects through a short period of spatial teleportation.
Although the volume of the Fountain of Youth is small and large, it is said that the large one can occupy an area of hundreds of meters, but this Fountain of Youth of the wild elves is very 'slender', no more than a few meters long and wide, and the height is no more than one and a half people high. It was effortless to transfer it with a space spell.
As soon as the Fountain of Youth landed, Brando immediately noticed that it was very different from the ordinary Fountain of Youth-the water of the Fountain of Youth was clear and transparent, free of impurities, and even in a dim and dull environment, the surface of the water would shimmer with silver sparkles, and it looked extremely holy and pure. But this youth
The spring water is faintly dark red, and the spring water is filled with a faint layer of red mist, and there is a faint trace of a rich foreign fragrance, which smells like the fragrance of laurel.
Can you drink this stuff too? Brando couldn't help but wonder if the water looked like the devils had been tricked into it, and God knows what the consequences would be if you drank it.
But the elven queen sued him. Apart from the defects she had previously mentioned, the springs themselves were indistinguishable from the true fountains of youth, and did not lead to depravity, or madness, though they did seem very strange; As for the evil aura of the spring itself, it is because of the dragons
The power of the demons had been purified by this fountain of youth, but the evil aura that had been infused into the spring had already evaporated in that purification, and the reason why the spring water had those side effects had nothing to do with the demons, but because the sacred fountain was received during that ritual
Yan zhòng's destruction is just that.
The wild elves remained neutral in Vaynder most of the time. And this generation of queens and the future princess of the Holy White are even more famous in history, and Brando believes that the other party does not need to lie to himself.
He saw a faint silver glint in the depths of the spring. Understand that it is the ore of the singing silver,
This magical metal is not only found in the Singing Fountain, in fact they are also the companion ore of the magical Dragon's Blood Gem, but the Dragon's Blood Gem is rarer than the Singing Silver, so this way to obtain the Singing Silver is equivalent to nothing. The singing silver is being taken from the ore
After refining, the whole is silvery-white. But it has a natural magical texture, and if you put it in the water, it will naturally produce beautiful music, hence the name of the silver of singing.
Strangely enough, though, it seems that the elves haven't touched the ore in the spring for decades. Could it be that they left the spring in Ellanta just to wait for the day when it could be returned to its rightful owner?
He posed the question to the Elven Queen, who only laughed but did not answer, telling him that the spring was worth more than it actually was in Elranta, and that he would understand why.
Brando felt that this answer might as well not tell him at all, so as to arouse his curiosity and make him fall from mid-air, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
He vaguely felt that this elven queen might not be as kind as she appeared on the surface, and her whole body exuded a black belly.
The Orb of Dragon Avoidance had always been carried by the Elven Queen - it looked like a transparent crystal ball, but it was gilded with a strange green glow around the edges. When Brando took it from Her Majesty's hand, it was cold in his hand, and he realized that it was actually made of liquid. he
When held in the hand, the tension on its surface is enough to maintain the shape of a water balloon, but with a little force, the liquid spreads out and walks towards the user's body.
The elven queen told him that this was the correct way to use the treasure: let it spread out into a thin film, hiding the person who was going to hide, and he could block the dragons' way of detection.
Soon Brando recognized the orb as the owner under the guidance of the latter, and then used it a few times, and found that these diffused liquids could not breathe even if the person was completely enveloped, but it would be a little uncomfortable for the first time, but it would soon get used to it. It's just that Brando always feels like he's making it the first time
The elf queen deliberately didn't remind him, and as a result, he almost made a fool of himself in front of everyone and choked on several mouthfuls of water.
But when he looked at the other man, he just smiled kindly at him.
At this time, Brando vaguely understood where the bear qi of the elf came from, and it turned out to be a family inheritance.
After thanking the elves, the subsequent negotiations with the dragons were much smoother than expected. However, the scene of several dragons forming in a circle and passing the buck to each other shocked everyone's jaws. It was as if henceforth these elegant, powerful, and mysterious creatures had been sublime
The impression collapsed in most people's eyes, turning into fragments, but Brando, who had long known the temperament of these flying lizards.
In the end, after a little effort, the dragons finally confirmed who would pay for Brando's 'bravery', and they agreed on who would benefit. Who pays the bills. In the end, half of the Dragons were paid, and the Silver Dragon Lady Misriel, who had received Brando's favor, had to give the other
Half.
Mithriel didn't expect to lift a stone and hit herself in the foot, and her face was clouded all afternoon, but fortunately she didn't embarrass Brando, but secretly cursed a few words: "Those damn old don't die!" ”
Apparently her sister was not excluded.
Brando had a very good opinion of the silver dragon lady, and privately asked her if she wanted to quietly get rid of her half, but Misreal shook her head very generously: "I won't cheat on your money, little one, you are my savior anyway." I'm Misriel yet
I'm not that poor. ”
Then she added: "Don't worry, my property is half and half of my sister's." ”
Brando always felt that he would turn the dragon sisters against each other, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
As for the dragons, the rest of the dragons quarreled again, and finally before nightfall the eldest two-headed dragon Blaze came to a conclusion - they should pay first, and then go back and continue the fight.
All in all, you can't lose your dignity in front of your human friends.
For these stingy guys, Brando is really helpless. In the end, the so-called 'Dragon Clan Secret Treasure' was at least unlikely to be obtained again, and he took the opportunity to ask for it. I hope to get a part of the gold in the river from the dragon clan, and it is best to give him a batch of wind horses. Hear that request, dragon
They were visibly relieved that the gold in the river, also known as the witch's gold, was of extraordinary origin. But it's not rare, at least it's much cheaper than the rare treasures they collect.
Blaze had a 'you're a good boy, you can still read the general picture' expression, and after complimenting Brando, he agreed to his request. He promised to give him five hundred pounds of gold from the river, and as for the Wind-Resistant, the dragon told him frankly - no!
Because the dragons can fly on their own, they don't need mounts, and naturally they don't raise these things. However, he was given an additional reward of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, which did not make him suffer.
Brando, however, didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of gold coins at all, because he had already been smashed by this unexpected joy for a long time, and he never dreamed that the dragons would give him five hundred pounds of gold in the river with a stroke of his hand - Brando suddenly felt a local tyrant's breath rushing to his face, and he couldn't help it
Born with an inferiority complex, you must know that his original expectation was only fifty pounds.
While glad that he didn't take the initiative to speak, he thought to himself: Martha, how rich are these damn lizards?
If he hadn't known in his heart how terrible the people of gold were, he would have almost given birth to the heart of going out to rob the dragon by now.
In the middle of the night, the dragons finally flapped their wings and left north, and the elven queen took the crying elves with her, and before the elves left, Kiara swore that she would definitely go to see her, but Brando was suspicious that this was just a sentence
An outright lie - when she returns to Eruin, what chance will she have to leave Sifah?
And after asking for advice from Dilferry, the latter did not hesitate to reject the fountain of youth of the wild elves.
"My lord, thank you for your kindness, but as the heir of Yanbao, I can't be a waste. What's more, as a child of a noble family, if you can't have children, it will damage the reputation of the family. ”
After hearing about the side effects of the spring water, Dilferi calmed down. She had been in poor health since Ampesel had been exhausted by the first battle, and these days she had been so sick that it was almost difficult to leave her bed. Even when he went to Cruz, most of the time he was in the carriage
Even the most squeamish of the envoys, Edney, was much better than her.
But to give up on her before a qiē effort. An peace of mind to be a powerless aristocratic daughter, she will never accept it.
The heir of Yanbao can be a dead man, but he must not be a wasted man, that would disgrace the family.
Brando understood that she valued the glory of Yanbao more than anything else, and sighed in her heart and did not persuade again.
"Don't worry, one day I'll help you find the true fountain of youth. Miss Duerferry. ”
Dilferrey was slightly stunned, she raised her head and glanced at Brando, but instead of refusing, she bowed to him slightly: "That's for you, Lord Lord." ”
After Brando sends Dilferi away, he finds that the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Empire has come to the door.
Delphien, supported by the silver dragon lady Mithriel, who had just quarreled with her sister and decided not to go back for the time being, stayed behind - sat down in his wheelchair very calmly, and said to him quietly, "Your lord. I don't care. ”
Brando was slightly stunned, he couldn't help but look at the daughter of the prime minister in a wheelchair, Delphien was wearing a purple evening dress, and the black stockings exposed under the long skirt outlined her perfectly proportioned slender legs, but it was difficult to hide the crisscrossing and ugly scars on the snow-white skin, as if only
The curvaceous figure and the fullness of the chest can prove the charm that this girl once had.
Xinchang's neck went up, and although Delphien covered half of his face with his long hair, he still couldn't see the hideousness underneath. Almost half of her face still retains her original human face. That terrible catastrophe almost robbed her of a piece of pride, and she was now barely able to take the wheel from it
Stand up in your chair. His legs also had a faint tendency to atrophy, his left hand was completely unable to move, his right hand could only do limited activities, and his neck could only be turned at an angle of almost half of it.
At this moment, she is basically equivalent to a wasted person.
Although there were many festivals in the past, Brando couldn't help but feel a little palpitating when he saw the other party at the moment, but he saw no despair on the other party's face. In the deep purple eyes, there seems to be only calmness.
Delphine pursed her lips silently, waiting for his reply.
Brando hesitated, of course he knew what the prime minister's daughter was talking about.
"Miss Delphien, I won't give you the spring."
"Why?"
"You should understand."
Delphine shook his head, "Lord Lord." It doesn't matter to me whether I have power or not, what I seek is another kind of power - wisdom and power, which does not necessarily require its own strength. …… On the other hand, what does it mean for me to be able to have children after Ehrman's death? ”
At the mention of Ehrman, Brando couldn't help but frown, this is the root of Yiqiē, the prime minister at that time was hysterical like a madman.
There is no doubt that there is nothing wrong with love itself.
He hesitated for a moment before replying, "Miss Delphien, about Ehrman's death......"
"I know—" Delphine interrupted Brando coldly, "My lord, I said I wouldn't care about this anymore. ”
Brando looked at her and frowned, he had a hard time reading the woman's thoughts. To be honest, he is still not completely at ease with the other party, after all, the attitude of the prime minister's daughter has changed too much - he really can't guess what she wants to do, if it is true
If she has a bit of hatred, then she can leave quietly, and there is no need to help her former 'enemy'.
As for the reason she said that she wanted to use his hand to save her family, it was also a little too blunt, saying that she had not seen the wisdom of the prime minister's daughter before, maybe he still had a little doubt, but the ability of the other party did not seem to necessarily need to be attached to him.
At least emotionally, he feels that he is not the best choice for the other party, and Brando believes that although he is not very sensitive to people's hearts, he is not stupid either.
But what puzzled him the most was that, at least so far, the other party was indeed helping him wholeheartedly, and did not secretly make any stumbling blocks. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reply, "Miss Delphien, although I don't quite understand what you are thinking, nor what your intentions are
Maybe we're not on the same page. But if you believe me, I've promised to find the true fountain of youth for Dilferry, and I'll make it your way back to the beginning—"
“…… Even if it's as compensation. ”
A heavy glint flashed in Delphien's eyes.
"You don't owe me anything, my lord, but I owe you too, and I have caused you a lot of trouble." She replied very calmly, "I would like to believe that you will keep your word, and in all seriousness, you are the most special nobleman I have ever met—but you don't have to."
, Lord Lord. ”
"Miss Delphien."
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but I've made up my mind."
Brando looked at her and finally nodded silently.
After receiving Brando's approval, Delphien breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile of insignificance appeared on his face. The evening breeze gently lifted her hair, and for a moment it made her hideous face not look so ugly, and the prime minister's daughter watched quietly in her wheelchair
Looking at the sky, it took a long time before he spoke:
"My lord, this battle has come to an end, and the expected goal has basically been achieved, and after Miss Métisa has cleared the remnants of the undead in the Wallach Pass, the queen's layout in East Mez can be said to be a complete failure."
Brando nodded, this whole plan is not completely from him, he is just the beginning, and the follow-up plans are basically all from the hands of the girl in front of him, plus the modification and improvement of Medissa and the senior sister, and finally there is today's evergreen victory. Delphine suddenly mentioned this matter, obviously not without purpose, he waited for the other party's next step.
"And then?"
"After the defeat of the alliance between the White Legion and the Jorgandegan and Torquinen, it will be difficult for the Silver Queen to make a quick victory in Metz," Delphine paused, "I think in this case, she may attack you directly." ”
"Shoot at me?"
"Yes, in my opinion, you may be the greater threat in the eyes of the Silver Queen than the eldest son of the Emperor. The war between the eldest son of the emperor and His Majesty is nothing more than a civil war among the Cruz, but between you and her, it involves the core question of who is the inheritance of the dark dragon, and you, who have also inherited the power of the dark dragon, may not be without the ability to challenge her current power after receiving the support of the witch. ”
"But that's not what I wanted."
"I understand," replied Delfin, "my lord, that the others around you also understand, but Her Majesty does not understand, or that she does, but it doesn't matter to her. ”
"Not to mention that the lord is even a descendant of the heir of the sword saint Dalus, as one of the few people who witnessed the truth behind the shady scenes, your origin and background are no less than that of Her Majesty the Queen, if you raise your arms, your lordship, I am afraid that the corresponding person may not be less than Her Majesty the Queen."
Brando felt that he didn't have this ability, at least Jogan and the Lions wouldn't listen to him, not to mention, he hadn't even straightened out the power in Eruin's country.
However, he continued to listen to Delphien's analysis, and asked, "And Miss Delphien, what do you think will happen to the Silver Queen next?" Let's not forget that she hasn't been directly involved with us before this. ”
He was talking about the previous confrontation between the witches, which was almost face-to-face, but the other party still lost.
"Yes, but if I am His Majesty, then this time I will change the way, before whether it was assassination or mobilization of troops to encircle and suppress the failure, this time I have to let you go to her home to fight."
"But am I so stupid?"
…… (To be continued......)
