Act 207: Flame of Dawn VIII

"Cold Dew Manor?" Brando tapped his fingertips on the table and replied thoughtfully, "Delphien hasn't found out where the Old Guards of the Holy See Vala and the Flame Temple are being held, and if the Silver Queen is not a suspicious soldier, then if one of the Prince's Mansions and the Colddew Manor is the 'prison', then the other ......"

In fact, ever since the Silver Queen split the Temple, one faction represented by Vala has been called the Old Guard, while the other faction is naturally the Reformist faction represented by the Scholastic faction.

"Akane is right there." Metisa's silver eyes lit up slightly, and she understood what he was trying to say.

"My lord, are we going to act?" She asked immediately.

Brando shook his head. "It's best to check it out first." He replied that although this place did seem very likely, it could not be ruled out that it was a trap or suspicion deliberately set by the Silver Queen, and the best way was to sneak in and investigate first: "I will ...... and I tonight"

"Brando, let me go!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off by Faina on the side.

The eldest lady of the flower and leaf collar blurted out almost without thinking, and then seemed to realize what she said, she saw Brando and Medissa looking at her in amazement, their faces as if they were burning, and they were red: "...... I, I mean, I'm familiar with it. ”

"But Faina, you don't seem to be going to sneak in, are you?" Brando couldn't help but ask.

"Infiltration and covert operations, the teacher taught me too, but it's just ......," Faina replied quietly.

"It's just that I don't have any real experience, right?"

Faina blushed and said, "Even if I don't have actual combat experience, I can do it well." ”

"This is not an outing, my eldest lady."

"I know......" Faina blinked lightly and her tone weakened, "I...... I can stay on the periphery. I know there are a few hidden trails there......"

"That's not going to work," Brando shook his head, "it's not safe, and according to our plan, non-combatants should try to avoid fighting." ”

Faina had to keep her mouth shut, staring at Brando with only her turquoise blue eyes.

Just when Brando thought she was about to make the eldest lady angry, the former bit his lower lip. Whispered, "I know......"

This contrast surprised Brando, in his mind the impression of this eldest lady was still stuck in the image of the rough and willful little princess of the Ring of Trade Winds, he was ready for the other party to lose his temper, but he didn't expect that in the end it was just a sentence of 'I know', which made him feel as if he had punched cotton.

He could not help but glance at the other man with some alarm, an attitude he saw most in one person—that is, Miss Merchant. Because usually little Roman talks nicely when he has to bow his head, but in fact it is basically the opposite of the other, and he has been taught repeatedly, which makes him have a big headache.

But fortunately, he knew that Faina wouldn't be so undisciplined at least. This eldest lady has her own pride, and disdains to play with these careful thoughts.

Regarding the conversation between the two, the little princess of the silver elf glanced at Faina, smiled mysteriously, and then said to Brando: "Lord Lord, in fact, in my opinion, it may be better to bring Miss Faina." ”

Brando was slightly stunned. I didn't expect Medisa to suddenly turn around.

"Metisa?" He looked back at her, as if to make sure she wasn't joking.

Faina also looked up at this time. Somewhat stunned, she glanced at Medisa who was sitting in her chair.

"Because Lady Sidney is not fit to enter the city, her goal is too conspicuous," replied Medisa with a smile, arguably the longest-following Brando other than Charles, and could see through her lord's thoughts at a glance, so she could speak eloquently, "Suppose this is the Silver Queen's trap." Then her target might be Miss Sidney, not Miss Faina, because she's had a chance these days, isn't it, why bother? ”

Brando suddenly realized that this was reverse thinking. The Silver Queen uses Vala as bait, so it is likely that her target is the statue of the Virgin of the Lion Sanctuary, as Medisa said; She also has an urgent motive, obtaining the Holy Sword Odysphes is the most important step for her to integrate and control the Sanctuary of Flame, in her own camp, in addition to herself, the inheritor of Odin, I am afraid that Sidney is the most important to this queen.

Relatively speaking, the ownership of the flower and leaf collar is really not so important to her.

In this way, if Sidney is unable to enter the imperial capital, he will need to choose one of the two people who are familiar with the imperial capital as a replacement, and Fayna is slightly more suitable in comparison, although neither of them has much ability to protect herself, but she is at least a student of Veronica and has excellent swordsmanship.

And that prime minister's daughter has been no different from an ordinary person since she took the fountain of youth with side effects, and in fact, in this era when the magic tide has begun to deepen its influence on the whole world in all aspects, she may not even be as good as an ordinary person without any power.

Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but glance at Faina.

"Is it okay?"

"Then I'll have to ask Miss Fayna if she's ready," replied Medisa earnestly, "it's a dangerous job." ”

"I'm fine!" Faina hurriedly replied, "I will protect myself, but don't forget whose student I am." ”

Brando looked at this young lady like this, and actually wanted to complain in his heart that the teacher of yours himself was being imprisoned in Moss Castle at the moment, but considering his respect for the Legion Commander Lady, he really couldn't bear to smear the other party's face again, so he couldn't bear to say it.

He sighed, and while it might not be the best option, at least not the worst, he thought to himself.

At this time, someone happened to knock on the door outside the room, making the door make a tuk tuk sound, and Brando subconsciously glanced at the sky, expecting who might be outside the door. Faina turned to open the door, and sure enough, she found Sidney standing outside the door with a stern face.

Because Brando had promised to help the lady repair the Holy Sword Odysphes, she would show up on time almost every day at this time, not a minute earlier. It won't be a minute later, and over time, everyone else will get used to it.

But today, in addition to the lady of the statue of the Lion Sanctuary, outside the door stood Delphien, who had just gone upstairs.

The prime minister's daughter had a look on her face that seemed to be smiling, but the unapproachable look in her eyes made Faina feel a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously took a step back.

"Ms. Sidney. Delphien, you're here. Brando said hello.

Delphien smiled slightly, indicating that he just happened to be passing by.

Brando turned his head and looked at Sidney, who was expressionless, "Ms. Sidney." ”

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Monsieur Count," said the Lady of the Lady of the Lion Palace, as flat as boiled water, "can you find time?" ”

Brando nodded, he had promised the other party back in Fatan Harbor that he would help her repair the Holy Sword Odysphes once the battle in Fatan Harbor was over. At the moment, the battle of Port Fatan has been won. Naturally, he wouldn't make any excuse to break his word, not to mention that he himself was extremely interested in the legendary Flame Blade.

Seeing this, Medissa quickly got up and glanced at Faina, and walked out with the eldest lady of the flower and leaf collar, although Delphien always stood outside the door, she did not intend to enter the door, as if she had just happened to pass by when she went upstairs, as she said.

When Ms. Sidney entered the room, Médisa opened the door. Then he looked up and looked at Delphien.

The prime minister's daughter was slightly stunned. "Do you have something to say to me, Miss Métisa?" ”

"I originally thought that as soon as you returned to the imperial capital, you would betray us." Medisa whispered.

"But I didn't, did I," Delphien smiled, "and we had a great time working together in Port Fatan, Miss Métisa." Why don't you choose to continue believing in me? ”

"Because I don't feel sincerity in you," replied Metisa, "the elves can discern the hearts of those who have ill intentions, and they are actually silver elves, and I can't guess your thoughts, Miss Delphien." But I know you have bad intentions. ”

"Are you really a silver elf, Miss Métisa?"

But Medisa ignored her.

Delphien sighed, "So I don't understand what you're trying to say, Miss Métisa, you should understand that what I'm doing now isn't half a point against you." ”

"Lord Lord thinks that the conflict between you and him is just a misunderstanding, and he admires you very much, just like Miss Mithriel, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be soft-hearted because of this," Metisa's face turned cold, and she rarely showed this side in front of outsiders, "I just want to repeat what I said last time—"

"Don't give me a chance to have my spear pierce your heart," she said, staring coldly into Delphien's eyes, word for word, "Tas-la-Giem, eternal enmity, no means - I swear by the old proverb of the Silver Elves, which you should have heard. ”

"Feud vow," Delphien's purple eyes flashed.

……

It was already dark outside the window, and the house was lit by candles.

Sidney recited a spell, then stretched out her right hand, as if holding a hilt in the void, she slowly pulled to the right, and pulled a sharp sword covered in splinters and scars from the void, the blade of the sword had already broken inch by inch, and the shards with a metallic luster were suspended in space, still maintaining the shape of the sword, and the edge of the blade occasionally flashed with a hint of dark red light.

This is the Holy Sword Odysphes.

Brando had seen this scene many times, but each time he was still shocked, this was the living form of the Holy Sword, it had long since died with the departure of the Fire King, so the craftsmen could not reforge its body, and the fragment of the Flame Blade that Sidney brought out of the Sanctuary was actually just more monumental to the believers of the Fire Temple, after all, it passed through the hand of the Fire King Geert, but it was essentially the same as an ordinary sword fragment.

He had only recently learned of this secret, which made him wonder if the same was true of the Earth Sword in his hand, and while Harangya was more complete, Sidney told him that if the Flame Blade remained intact in the physical realm, it would be as powerful as the Earth Sword. With the hammering of time, the legendary faith seeped into the sword, turning it from a mortal to a powerful ancient holy sword, knowing that Ek's Lionheart Sacred Sword was once just his most ordinary saber.

The hearts of the people converge to form beliefs, fame spreads and creates legends, and the potential for powerful wishes and the magic of words and words engrave the things of this world in the world of laws, so that the things of the ancients can be preserved.

Sidney let go of his hand and motioned for him to come forward.

Brando, who had already mastered it, reached out and took the hilt of the Holy Sword from the lady's hand, and a sense of familiarity came back from the sword, in fact, he had already injected it into the fragments of the Holy Sword once in Port Fatan, through the approval of himself by the soul of Odysphes, and at that time he had established a vague connection with the laws of the Blade of Fire.

But it is not so simple to repair Odysphes, the soul of the holy sword fell asleep because its projection in the world of laws was fragmented, and the reason for its fragmented projection in the world of laws was due to the lack of faith, that is, the loss of support for existence in this world.

Now this ancient soul has awakened and recognized him again, but its present form still has no support.

The formation of a faith, the birth of a legend, is not something that can be supported by a single person, even if Brando holds the soul of Odysphes, he cannot give the Blade of Fire a new life.

What he had to do was to reclaim its glory.

He grasped the hilt of the Flame Blade, and the ancient soul in his body immediately resonated with the remnants of his current form, forming a multitude of illusions before his eyes......

What is it that has created its legend, made its name stand on the earth, made everyone praise it, and made this holy sword survive in this world?

So, where is the pride of the sword?

It was once the sacred sword of the Sanctuary of Fire, and the Lord of Fire used it to usher in an era where pure flames parted the thorns of darkness and burned a path in desperation.

But what Brando saw in the illusion was not the most glorious moment of the Lord of Fire—on the Holy White Plains, he announced the end of an empire of unprecedented proportions, and from this moment on, an end to injustice and oppression, and the blade of fire, Odysphes, shone in his hands, in the sunlight that pierced through the clouds.

What he saw was a qiē burning in the flames, a palace and a city, this scene seemed familiar. A pair of unyielding eyes, the anger burning in the eyes, what burned in the flames and turned to ashes, is ridiculous arrogance.

What gives birth to the indomitable flame, the revolt under oppression, exists, and declares that everyone can hold on to their own destiny.

This is the golden flame, a symbol of resistance and an oath of uncompromise.

'Therefore I gave it to the world, not the empire—'

This is the way of Jin Yan.
