Chapter 187: True Identity
"I don't think the word 'help' is used very accurately," the long-lost parliamentarian sighed: "Our relationship should be described as 'cooperation'. ”
After listening to the councilor's words quietly, Wang Nu burst out laughing: "Your Excellency, don't you think that you can overthrow the Holy See's army with these monsters?"
"As you can see, it's powerful, and it's not afraid to die. The councillor's chin was raised downward, and he motioned for the princess to look in that direction: "There is another one besides it." ”
The princess looked down and saw that in the barracks of the Temple of Judgment, a monster like a bison was charging in all directions, and any soldiers who stood in its way were trampled into flesh, and even a spear could not stop its steps.
The soldiers formed a wall of shields, but the monster was surprisingly strong, and the shield was shattered to pieces under its sharp corners.
"It's okay to cause a little turmoil, but if you want to use them to crush the Holy See's army......" the princess gently suppressed the emotions in her heart, "It's a little too whimsical." ”
The initial riot had calmed down, and the two monsters were cornered by the soldiers.
More than a dozen sharp blades were slashed down together, and the two monsters were divided one after another.
"It's a pity, it's just that the number is too small, otherwise it will ......," said the princess with a frown.
"No, Your Highness. It doesn't take a lot of effort to create such monsters, as long as you need to, I can gather hundreds of these monsters in three months. "It's much easier to command such a team than to command a flesh-and-blood soldier." ”
"They seem dangerous. Wang Nu said that this danger is not only directed at the enemy, if this murderous monster is out of control on the battlefield, then can it distinguish between friend and foe?
In other words, they don't have the mind to distinguish between friend and foe at all, although they have a simple IQ, but that's only relative to the beasts.
Essentially, they are still a group of demons who are born to kill.
"No matter how dangerous it is, it will not be more dangerous than losing the throne and hiding from the Holy See all day long. The councillor said slowly: "Your Highness, if you want to achieve your goal, the necessary risks cannot be avoided. ”
The princess pondered for a moment, "You haven't answered my question yet, what do you want?"
"A land of freedom, a kingdom free of discrimination and slavery. The councillor put away the smile on his face, "It sounds ridiculous, but all I'm after is something that looks illusory." ”
"Only a kingdom re-established in the midst of war will be able to develop as I wish, and it is only by truly participating in this war that I will be able to change all this. The councilor stared at Xi Lan in the military tent below, "The world of the papal dictatorship or something, it should have been destroyed a long time ago!"
......
"Miss Lina's father hasn't returned to Tallinn yet?" Yarrow held a whole roast chicken and gnawed on his greasy mouth, and he moved his gauze-wrapped injured arm, "We can't hide in the dungeon like a mouse every time, it's too embarrassing." ”
Bran leaned against the window, lifted the blinds from the window with his hand, and looked out into the street outside the castle.
The gendarmes are still stationed at the intersections, showing no signs of relaxing.
"It's better to lose face than to lose your life. Bran sighed, "This is really the last thrilling journey, there are countless enemies out there who want to kill me, but they still keep me alive until now." ”
And that's not because of your stubbornness.
Yarrow complained angrily in his heart, leaving the comfortable days of the Imperial City, but he had to hide his identity and run to Tallinn, but he was assassinated, if he hadn't killed that little girl in advance, I'm afraid that Bran and himself would have been on the streets by now.
Thinking of Linna, Yarrow had a strange look on his face, he didn't particularly understand the psychology of women who fell in love, but now it seemed that it was undoubtedly extremely fanatical, and Lord Bran's talent in this area was simply unmatched.
If things go well, I believe that the relationship between the two will quickly warm up because of this experience, and if Miss Narin really marries Bran as his wife, then even Ron, who has a heavy army, will no longer be able to overpower Lord Bran.
Yarrow suddenly realized that appearance was also a very important bargaining chip, and he looked at his face in the mirror and sighed a little decadently.
It seems that he is really suitable to speak with strength.
"My lord, we have been away from the Imperial City for so long, the Duke must be aware of something, right......? I mean, what if, we ...... No, you, what would have happened if you had died in Tallinn?" Yarrow wiped the corners of his mouth.
Bran lowered his head, not knowing if he was thinking about Yarrow's question or if he was thinking of other ways to get out, for a long time, until Yarrow asked a second question, he answered softly.
"In that case, the problem will be serious......" Bran chuckled, gesturing to the floor under his feet and the dome overhead, "the consequence is that everything we can see now, castles, buildings, gardens, The land will be reduced to a pile of ruins and scorched earth, the whole city of Tallinn will be reduced to a large tomb for us to be buried, the beautiful and pleasing will be wiped out under the iron hooves of the Golden Lion, and more than three out of ten people will die in the city, including Lena and the Duke of Norrington, and perhaps a few of the Norrington blood families. ”
Yarrow was stunned for a moment: "Will the Duke be so crazy?"
"This is absolutely sensible, the reason why the Capet family is feared is that they do what they say, if the duke's son dies inexplicably in the territory of another family, and the Capet family does not react, then everyone will lose their reverence for the Capetian family, which is the most fatal point. Bran smiled, with an inexplicable look on his face: "For this reason, even if he realizes that he has made a knife in someone else's hand, my father will not hesitate to make the same choice, and more importantly, the knife of the Capet family is not something that anyone can hold." ”
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock at the door, and Linna's voice rang out, "Mr. Bran, I've got dinner brought to you." ”
Bran's face was immediately replaced with Hexi's smile, and even Yarrow was a little amazed at the speed of his face change, it was like magic, one second he was still thinking and silent, and the next second he was sunny and hee.
"Miss Linna, please come in. Bran opened the door and ushered in Lena and a maid.
Yarrow immediately got up, after all, it was someone's house, and it was a little rude for the host to deliver the meal to sit there without moving, but he keenly noticed that Miss Linna's state seemed to be a little wrong, as if she was a little out of mind.
He raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to help the maid set the dinner on the table.
Then he quietly looked at Bran and Linna, and the conversation that followed was very interesting, and even the most difficult people saw Miss Linna's strange appearance.
She looked a little nervous, Yarrow thought.
Lena and Bran sat side by side, but they didn't say a word as if they had something on their minds, perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Lena raised her head and squeezed out a smile and asked Yarrow, "Mr. Yarrow, is dinner still to your liking?"
"Very tasty, thank you for your hospitality. Yarrow replied clearly.
The air fell silent again.
"Mr. Yarrow, what do you think of this fish?"
"Pretty good. Yarrow stopped gobbling up.
After three minutes, Miss Lina asked again.
"How do you think dinner ......?"
At this time, even an idiot can smell something abnormal, Miss Lina is completely speechless, in less than ten minutes, she asked herself three times in a row about dinner, if she can no longer see Miss Linna's intentions, then she is too stupid.
He picked up the plate on the table and said in a tone of making a big decision, "Starlight is pretty today, so I'm going to eat in a different place." ”
The two unrelated words came out, and strangely enough, neither Lena nor Bran objected, and Yarrow walked out with the barbecue.
"She is worthy of being a noble lady, and she even uses such an elegant way to drive people out. Yarrow wiped the cold sweat from his head and leaned on the windowsill in the hallway to look out.
The sky was so cloudy that not even a single starlight could be seen.
Outside the castle, there was a cacophony of noises in the distance, and the shouts of people, as if a grand banquet was being held.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Bran had already noticed Linna's abnormality, and asked in an extremely gentle voice, "There are only two of us left here, so don't hesitate to say anything." ”
Lena took a deep breath and looked up to find Bran looking her straight in the eye, her panicked dodging his gaze like a frightened kitten.
"The people in the Inspectorate say you are spies. Lina whispered cautiously.
"Can you believe it?" asked Bran word for word.
"I don't know......" Lina's lips trembled, "but I hope you are not, after all, you and I are very good friends, and I also hope to introduce you to my father......"
"Just good friends?" Bran tilted his head, his eyes smiling.
Lina was flustered by his heart, and felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up a little: "So far, I think our relationship is still ...... best"
"Miss Linna, we don't need to deceive ourselves anymore. Bran reached out and grabbed Linna's wrist, and the latter's face immediately turned red, and the vivid red spread all the way to the base of the ear to the snow-white neck, "I want to tell you that I have never felt so strongly......"
"I love you. ”
Oh my God, what is Mr. Bran talking about?
He said, He loves me?
Lena felt a rush of ecstasy welling up in her heart, and the happiness came so suddenly that she was briefly dizzy.
"I believe that your affection for me should not be limited to good friends. Bran spoke softly, but his tone contained a love that was so hot that it was hot.
"So, will you marry me?" Lena mustered up her courage to make her voice seem less unassuming, but her voice was still as small as a mosquito.
"That's what I'm here for. Bran smiled.
"But you haven't told me who you really are, ......" Miss Lina paused, she was eager to ask if Bran was really a spy as the Inspectorate said, she had already made up her mind, as long as Bran was not a spy, even if he was the son of a farmer, she would ask her father to support her marriage to Bran.
"Tut-tut, it's terrible, this kind of strong brainwashing ability is really innate. Yarrow hid outside the door, his ears against the crack in the door, listening to the conversation between Bran and Lina, a look of admiration on his face.
The descendants of the Capet family are indeed all equipped with special skills.
"I'm not a spy," Bran said slowly, as if he had made up his mind, "My full name is Bran Capet!"
"That Capet from the Imperial City?" Miss Lina's face turned pale.
