The spatial collapse caused by the disintegration of the magic power of the dimensional cave is a fairly small probability, not much higher than a person being struck by lightning under a cloudless clear sky, not to mention that the sword of the earth, as a real artifact, can never be destroyed because of this, at most it is only lost to some unknown space, perhaps left in an unknown corner of the Vajnd continent, or an elemental plane, and even worse, outside the boundaries of Tiamat's law, one of the countless fragmented half-planes or space fragments- If the Earth Sword is lost in these places, it may not be possible for mortals to find it in their lifetime, but for dragons, it may one day be able to find it again.

After all, time is not a threshold for dragons, they have immortal life.

Do Modesty and Gwendoline dare to bet, Brando stared at the two dragons, and could tell the clue between their expressions - they didn't dare to bet. Even if it's only a 1 in 100,000, 1 in 1 million chance, who can be sure that Master Martha won't joke with you? Brando was keenly aware of their hesitation, and although he had come to almost the same conclusion from the tough tone of the other party long before that, it was now confirmed that Gwendolyn and Modette were going to do with the Sword of the Earth, and they could not afford to lose.

Brando secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although this did not mean that he was out of danger, but at least it showed that he could buy more time.

Now the two sides are almost back on the same page.

Although Modestie and Gwendoline still have the initiative.

"Mortal, your idea is dangerous," replied the dragon queen coldly, the chill in her voice as if the whole valley was howling with a cold wind and a layer of frost, "You mean you want to use this to blackmail us?" ”

"Lady Dragon, I have no choice." Brando replied calmly. He spread his hands and looked helpless. For the first time, Chiara had seen the count's ruffian side, but the former's fearless calmness made her eyes twinkle slightly, and she thought that this bad fellow was not really as useless as it was rumored, and that Brando had been in an advantageous position for some time to give orders, and now they were at a complete disadvantage. It can even be said that life and death are in the hands of others, but the other party is also neither humble nor arrogant, which makes people impressed.

The all-and-nothing gambler trait of not caring about life and death also surprised Chiara, who was accustomed to seeing the caution of the nobles of the kingdom, she had never seen such a nobleman before.

But Chiara was more secretly annoyed, this guy was going to make things more stiff by confronting these two dragons, in fact, there was no other way to solve it at the moment - I really don't know what kind of anger he was inexplicable. Isn't it okay to satisfy the vanity of the dragons, what a fool. What she doesn't understand the most is why this guy is obsessed with his subordinate, isn't it just a chess piece, obviously he is already in this position, he should learn to have the consciousness of abandoning his pawn to protect the handsome, kindness and innocence are destined to have nothing to do with the nobles, you don't have more than one subordinate under you, at least for the time being, there are all of us in this envoy group. She couldn't help but grit her little canine teeth, full of resentment, wondering how the hell this damn guy's head grew.

Several times she quietly tugged at the corners of Brando's clothes. But the latter seemed to know what she was going to say, and turned a deaf ear, and Miss Chiara was both frightened and secretly angry for a while, if she was not too small to attract attention, and jumped up several times without letting the two dragon ladies notice her, I am afraid that she would have taken the initiative to interrupt the two dragons at this moment. It's time to make her terms.

Roman is very well-behaved, and she always believes in Brando's presence unconditionally, but this does not mean that Miss Merchant is well-behaved and sensible, probably purely because the sky is falling and there are tall people who are doing it with such a mentality.

Of the four, only the elf was too frightened to move, and Shannie was hiding in her hood. I was muttering something vigorously.

After listening to Brando's answer, the faces of the two dragons became very unkind, but they did not answer for a long time.

Brando also waited quietly.

He was actually very strange in his heart, thinking that this matter was really so difficult for these two dragons. Their enemies were the Cruz, and it was much the same for him, and he didn't even ask for help in retaking Akane, but only for a promise that he would leave Antslova safely and arrive in the capital of the Empire to cause trouble for the Cruzians - the two sides obviously had the same interests, but the other side was unwilling to live or die, could the face of the dragon be so valuable?

The dragons he'd encountered in Amber Sword weren't like that at all, they were more like Aloz and Star, and they were very pragmatic.

Instinctively, Brando felt odd, and he pondered his request to find out where there was a conflict of interest with the other, but he couldn't find the slightest clue - the two dragons were really insane - that was the only conclusion he had reached.

Brando waited, he had given his final hole cards, and all he had to do now was wait for the opponent's reply.

To his disappointment, Gwendoline eventually shook his head.

"Mortal, your demands won't change?" The Dragon Queen asked indifferently.

Brando nodded.

"Maybe you're still lucky," Gwendolyn seemed extremely reluctant to utter such a soft-spoken advice, but she frowned and continued, "But I want you to understand one thing, the Sword of the Earth is in your dimensional cave, and this is indeed a very troublesome thing. However, for the dragons, it is not incomprehensible, but we don't want to waste time needlessly, and if you think that a dimensional cave alone can deter us, you are very wrong. ”

The voice of the dragon queen rumbled in the valley, and Brando frowned slightly after hearing it, of course he knew that the other party was right, and his hole cards were indeed not incomprehensible to the other party - first of all, it was just like what he expected before, even if the sword of the earth was lost, it was not that they could not find it, but it would take a lot of time to waste, and even invest a lot of manpower and material resources.

There is also a second possibility. That is to find a way to subdue him before killing him, and if he loses consciousness, then it will not be so difficult to open the dimensional cave with the means of the dragons.

It would be easy for two adult dragons to restrain him.

The premise is that he doesn't have a passing pointer in his hand.

And now, the other party will be self-defeating if he is not careful.

Brando's heart was clear, and he naturally understood the reason why Modette and Gwendoline really had scruples.

Gwendoreen finished her counsel and paused for a moment. He continued: "I don't understand why you are so stubborn, but you are just a human woman, she has no background, no background, the only thing she can rely on is the Azure Spear, but since you don't care about the Azure Lance, why should you have trouble with yourself in this matter?" Don't you understand, she's in the center of the maelstrom right now. It's a potential threat to you, and what you should do now is try to get out of touch with her, rather than crashing headlong into her like a moth to a flame. ”

The dragon queen's words became cold at the end: "Don't be stupid, you are a smart person, you will not fail to see the pros and cons between these, little one, I warned you for the sake of your grandfather's face." ”

In a way, Gwendoline's words make a lot of sense.

There are many things destined in this world that it is impossible to do as you want.

Want to do it and eventually do it. are two very different things.

I have an ideal, but I can't move forward. This is the norm in most cases, and humans are a race that seeks advantages and avoids harm, which stems from the instinctive self-preservation of animals.

In front of Brando, there were two dragons and a vast and powerful empire, and behind him, the Eruin were not even united - the kingdom wanted to protect each and every one of its own people - but even he knew it. This sentence is placed within the kingdom - any nobleman will praise this as a well-known line, but in fact, everyone thinks that it is a subconscious slogan, which sounds beautiful, but may not be able to do it.

That's the Cruz, after all.

Not to mention the fact that Gwendoline and Modestie were standing in front of him right now. In anyone's eyes, Brando's choice to retreat at this time will not have any moral problems, in fact, he has done well enough, and how many lords dare to openly make trouble in the empire for the sake of a subordinate? For this reason alone, no one in the whole of Eruin dares to say that he is a sinister and despicable man who is greedy for vanity and in the name of righteousness.

The reason is very simple, if you are not convinced, you can also challenge the empire?

But manpower is sometimes poor after all.

Gwendoline said this, it was already as backward as possible, and Chiara couldn't help but get anxious, even the dragon gave the steps, and if she wanted to die again, it would be really self-defeating. Abandon the pawn to protect the handsome, isn't it a very simple reason, she really doesn't understand why this guy with the head of the wooden fish just doesn't say a word.

Brando didn't answer directly.

He didn't understand why Gwendoline and Modesti had to cause him trouble, but the facts were already in front of him, and he had to get through the difficulties before he first had to get to Rustet.

As for what he should choose-

Brando didn't think much of it, because he already had the answer.

He felt like a patient with late secondary fantasy symptoms at this moment, as if his sanity and logic had nothing to do with him, and he told himself in his heart - if I give up on Akane, then what am I left with? He examines his experiences since he came into this world, and everything he says, though it may not be clear, is always guided by the same belief. Not logical, but peaceful, if he gave up this belief, then what did he return to this world for?

Brando thought he couldn't convince himself.

Case.

Then let it go.

People can stop, but they can't leave regrets.

"Well," Brando replied, "the negotiations broke down." ”

"Actually, I regret it too," he said. ”

"But I still don't understand," asked Brando, shaking his head, puzzled, "what is the offense of my request to the two esteemed ladies?" ”

Chiara almost jumped.

She was simply stunned, she thought that Brando must be stepping down by Poe, unless he was a real madman, he would bury himself for such a thing. Although after getting along with each other for a few days, she already knew that this guy was still a relatively decent person at heart, but there were so many decent people in Eruin. There was no way they would break with the two-headed dragon for such a thing.

Even if some people can not care about their own lives, but the problem is that Brando is a lord, what about the rest of his subordinates, does he not care, those people also let this lord mess around like this?

It's just a joke.

She subconsciously looked at Roman, but Miss Merchant raised her little eyebrows as a matter of course. It seemed that Brando's choice was simply justified, and it would be strange if he didn't choose this way, but Chiara couldn't help but be a little annoyed, didn't these people notice one thing, that is, they were about to turn into fragrant barbecue, and the merchant lady, and the wood-headed lord over there, who were they?

At this point, Brando took a step back.

Kiara was startled at the sight of this action, and of course she could see it with her intelligence. The Earl was going to fight hard—and by this time she had no time to think about what she had or didn't have. She was a well-known genius within the Siphah family, but she had an even more outstanding brother who kept her hidden from the outside world, and Kiara had always been confident in her mind, even in this most dangerous moment.

She was still annoyed that Brando was pulling her hind legs. But as soon as Brando moved, she immediately and clearly judged the current situation. And what you should do.

"That guy over there, since you've chosen to do this—damn it, you're such a brainless idiot—forget it, it's useless to say it now, I have something to tell you," she had hoped that Brando would relent. But at this time, he resolutely shouted loudly: "They can't help you, you must not hope that these two dragons will change their minds, because they are on the side of the Silver Queen, and there is only one betrayer within the Empire, and that is Her Majesty the Queen!" ”

Brando heard this. He couldn't help but stare at Chiara in great surprise, thinking that this little lady was going crazy again, could it be that she was stupid and talked about her dreams?

Chiara's shouts echoed through the valley, and Gwendoline and Modesti, who were about to subdue Brando, stopped and looked at the little girl beside Brando in surprise—they had never cared about each other, but as soon as Kiara said this, their minds were brought back to reality. The look on their faces clearly proved that Chiara was not lying, and on the contrary, she guessed it all.

"I don't have time to explain to you," Chiara replied angrily, grabbing Brando's arm and roughly removing him from Pori. The anvil and the information from Shagoth said it again, and after saying that, he shouted loudly: "Quick, get us out of here, you guy is a little stupid but you're not a real madman after all, I know you must have a way!" ”

Of course, she knew that once she told these secrets, then there would be no room for both sides to turn back.

And that's exactly what she's here to do.

Since she saw that Brando was going to fight hard, she must not let this wooden head lose everyone's lives by half-heartedness, and completely dispel the suspicions between him and the two-headed dragon, she didn't want to kill a fool for no reason. Brando, of course, didn't know that he was already the equivalent of a simple-minded fool with developed limbs in Chiara's mind, but the little guy's sudden change of attitude startled him, and he pulled Chiara to his side, and then grabbed the elf, while letting Roman grab his arm.

Kiara was right at least one sentence.

It is true that he is not defenseless.

Brando turned on the passing hand for the first time, but this time, he didn't just turn it on for a moment and then close it immediately, as he had done before. For the first time, he continued to open this sub-artifact, and the entire scenery in the surrounding mountains and forests became slow in an instant, and the scattered leaves, the slowly dancing flames, and the flying dust formed an extremely strange landscape painting.

At this moment, this is a world that is ten times slower for Brando and the others - or for Gwendoline and Moddy - ten times faster for Brando.

Brando estimated the amount of time he would need, and then realized with some bitterness that he would need to keep the elapsed pointer on for at least ten minutes before he could have a chance to safely escape into the underground passage without being pursued by the two dragons.

Ten minutes.

It's a return to the rhythm of the pre-liberation period.

At the same time, there is another problem. That is, Gwendoline and Modès had no way to decipher his passing pointer.

Gwendoline and Modesty watched Brando's figure flash at the same time, condescendingly witnessing this happening, but they didn't seem too surprised, after all, they already knew that the other had a passing pointer in their hands. The dragon queen glanced at Modette, who nodded slightly at her.

The two dragons spread their wings at the same time and flew up from the valley.

(PS: As for why there was III yesterday?) That's because in order to confuse the mechanism, the power of the mechanism is so strong that I have to try to keep a low profile, so what title do you see in the future...... It must be a conspiracy of the organs, so there is no need to make a fuss. (To be continued......)
