Act 303 Vortex VII

Through the tunnels crisscrossed by grain and water, which looked like underground fortifications, Jill soon found the place where the three mysterious men had buried their 'treasures', and in the middle of the narrow passages, a huge pocket lay quietly on the ground.

Jill and Bu's eyes lit up together, "Jill, shall we turn it on?" ”

"Of course!"

The two of them unwrapped the rope with all their hands, but the first thing that appeared in the sack was not a golden treasure, but a girl with a white face and closed eyes, and they both let out a scream in unison, and retreated as if they had seen a ghost.

"Ahhhh Jill, this is no treasure! ”

"Of course I know, oh my God, this must be a murder! Martha is on top, it happened right under her nose, God testifies, I didn't do anything! ”

"Cloth, pull me quickly, I'm so scared that my legs are weak."

"Jill, so do I. Not only did my legs go weak, but my back went limp. Bu said with a sad face, this was the first time he had seen a dead person since he was a child.

"Don't talk nonsense, cloth, how can the back be scared soft!"

"It's true, Jill, it's soft, and I even feel like the wall behind me is getting soft......"

"Nonsense, how can the wall become soft?"

"Really, besides, I said it, it's just a delusion!" Seeing that his companion did not want to believe him, Bu replied angrily.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a gentle voice behind him say, "I think it's not an illusion - it's because you're leaning on my feet." ”

"Ahh Bu screamed in fright, and when he looked back, he saw a gentle and kind young man in a black aristocratic dress and a long sword at his waist, standing behind him.

"Ahhhh Boo and Jill jumped up at the same time, and when they met a nobleman in such a ghost place, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, and both of them were almost stunned "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh This has nothing to do with us. We're just ...... It's just an occasional encounter, so don't arrest us at the Port Authority......"

"I'm just saying...... Just say, don't wronged a good man......" Gil shuddered as he looked at the stranger who had appeared silently—though he was bold, but the punishment for murder in Ampesel was always severe enough to deprive Ampesel of his citizenship, confiscate all his possessions, and hang him.

Of course, even the most severe of these rules is the confiscation of all family property, at least in the eyes of Jill and Bou.

This is simply a punishment for going straight to hell.

The young man who suddenly appeared was naturally Brando, and with half of his soul traversing the 'future', he could not have been unaware of the tunnel under the Temple, which was designed and built by Rognin along with the Great Temple of Andrvoux, and was originally designed to be a fortification under the Temple. Later, however, the temple used it for many shady things.

The entrance and key to the tunnel should be in the hands of the high priest, and ordinary people are naturally not allowed to enter. Unfortunately, there is a quest in Amber Sword that is related to this tunnel, so this tunnel has an 'extra entrance'.

This unknown entrance is connected to a sewer and is one of the 'back doors' left by Rogning. During the attack and defense of Ampesel, players on the side of Eruin used this secret entrance to repeatedly attack the Great Temple of Andrvoul, which was under the control of Madara. For this reason, this secret passage was once called the 'lifeline of the temple'.

However, in this era, the descendant of the Rogning family who provided the mission should still be living in the Grey Haven, waiting for the call of fate, and Brando has reason to believe that there is no second person besides himself who knows such a secret passage.

So he was taken aback when he saw Jill and Boo.

He had thought that Princess Magdal might also have the key to this tunnel in her hands, and with her position by Wood's side, this princess had every chance to copy a key. Although this did not match her status, with the princess's determined attitude of boasting about Haikou in front of him, Brando could more or less guess it.

However, he didn't expect to meet a pair of big goblins, and he was very familiar with the big goblin race. It can be said that it is a hotbed of thieves, and many of the famous 'Nightingales' among the players are also from this race.

They showed up, and Brando knew what they were here for.

It's really daring.

At this time, Freya walked out from behind Brando, and the first thing she saw was of course two noisy little guys, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "Brando, how come there are two goblins." ”

"No, we're not goblins! We are goblins! Jill was immediately outraged, he could endure hanging, but he could never tolerate being slandered as a goblin.

Although in Vaynd. Goblins and goblins are indeed both large families of elven creatures. But goblins absolutely disdain to be in the company of filthy goblins. In their opinion, goblins are cavemen, or cavemen are the ancestors of goblins.

"Leprechauns? Aren't goblins tiny? The future Valkyrie also stretched out her hand and compared. Meaning, aren't goblins just one or two inches long, and they have beautiful wings.

"That's the forest goblins, we're the big goblins!" Jill replied indignantly, but with some frustration in his tone; Just like goblins look at goblins, compared to the goblins in the forest, the big goblins are indeed several levels lower in blood.

"I see, ah-" Freya was nodding, but suddenly saw the pockets behind the two big goblins, and her face turned pale: "Princess Magdal! ”

Brando's face also changed, he didn't wait for Jill to say, he separated the two, and pressed his hand on Princess Antobro's neck - the body temperature was cold, but it was still soft, but he couldn't feel the pulse anymore - Brando had learned battlefield first aid in Freya, of course he knew what it meant, but he didn't give up, and called up a virtual light screen to look at it, and his heart was suddenly cold.

A line of cold letters on the fluorescent light screen: Name: Magdal? Armand Lodur? Morality? Antobro Race: ???

Gender: Female Status: The death sword is wounded in the heart, almost through the chest. If a human being is injured like this, even if one foot steps into the realm of the elements, it is certain to die, not to mention that Princess Magdal is just an ordinary person......

Brando's hand trembled slightly, and his face became gloomy. Princess Magdal didn't have much to do with him, either in this world or in the game, but the nun princess made a very good impression on him in just a few meetings, being gentle and polite. But there is no ordinary aristocratic lady's fault, not old-fashioned and indifferent, and even some hospitality; The most commendable thing is that in the deceitful aristocratic circles, she has not been infected with the slightest bad habits, and even in the darkest days of Eruin and the Temple, she still maintains the purest heart.

For the sake of friendship and firm beliefs, such a person is even in a modern society where spiritual civilization is more developed. There are very few. Although Her Royal Highness Princess Antobro is a Catholic, she believes in the true truth, the brightest side of the human heart.

Freya crouched down beside Brando, silently, not the first person to die in this political struggle, but the person she had always known best—and the best friend of Her Royal Highness, the usually kind and gentle girl, was now lying there so coldly. became a corpse.

Such a shock made her can't help but bite her lip tightly.

Brando sighed and reached out to smooth the hair that Her Royal Highness had messed up from the struggle during her lifetime, trying to make the other look more peaceful.

"Brando......" The future Valkyrie's voice trembled a little, it wasn't that she hadn't seen death, she just couldn't understand why she was killing each other to this point.

Haven't the nun princesses always been the most devout believers in the Temple?

Brando shook his head, a little confused in his heart. This result also exceeded his expectations, and came to him. Even if Magdal is exposed, at most he will be under house arrest, how could the other party do this, how dare he do this, the other party's reaction is really beyond his expectations.

But he couldn't sort out a clue for a while, and his heart was like a mess.

He had never been a man of indifference in the eyes of others—in contrast to most of the nobles of the land, who appreciated this cold intellect, and even considered it a superior merit necessary for a good lord—but Brando was at odds with this quality.

It took him a long time before he came to his senses. Turning his head, he stared coldly at Bu and Jill coldly: "Look at the good things you two have done." You have murdered a princess of another country in the land of Eruin. You know how wrong you are. It may even provoke a war—"

"I must arrest and deport you, that's all. to appease the coming anger of his neighbors......" Brando tried to keep his tone cold and businesslike, though his heart was heavy as if he were about to suffocate.

Jill and Bu, who were stared at coldly by Brando, were both frightened and blue-faced, although they didn't know what the young nobleman meant, but it sounded terrible anyway, it was war, and it calmed the anger, and the two little guys couldn't help but tremble with fear.

In particular, Freya, who was still standing next to him in an Eruin uniform, made the threat even more convincing. Freya wore the uniform of the Praetorian Guard, but the two elves could not tell the difference between the Praetorian Army and the soldiers of the Port Authority.

In their eyes, Brando is the terrible killer who wants to arrest them.

Freya knew of course that Magdal couldn't have been killed by the two little ones, but they might know something here. She knew that Brando was using the other party's words, although it was a little unbearable to see Jill and Boo trembling with fright like chaff, but when she thought of Princess Magdal's tragic death, she had to harden her heart.

Boo and Gil were too frightened to speak, until Brando added, "Of course, these punitive measures also include the confiscation of all your property - including those you buried in the forest outside the city. ”

"No, how do you know!" Jill was stupefied for a moment, every time the port court confiscated all their stolen goods, in fact, only a small part, because the big goblins had a habit of burying their belongings. They usually choose an unknown and fixed place to bury their belongings, usually a group chooses a place, and only the elves themselves will know which places have the treasures of the 'race'.

But Brando is an exception.

"No, no, I mean, it's none of our business, you can't do that......" Jill and Boo were in a hurry, if they had just been stunned. This time it's really restless.

Especially when you think about how their possessions are still in jeopardy.

"It's none of your business?" Brando raised his tone and asked with a cold face, "Then what are you doing here?" Don't sue me, you're here to steal, aren't you? ”

"No, we're here to steal." Bu immediately confessed to his crime as if pouring beans, and Jill was so anxious that Jill on the side wanted to gag him.

"Good." Brando said coldly: "According to Ampesel's law, stealing is also punishable by half of all property, and you will also have to spend a year in prison, you should all know this?" ”

"Oh no......" The cloth regretted it for a while, although it was not a confiscation of all property. But that's half enough for them. Especially, this time it's half of the 'real' total property.

"But there is still a chance to make up for it." Brando's words shifted, "Right now you're involved in a murder case, if you can provide some useful clues, maybe I'll consider reducing your sentence as appropriate." ”

When Brando said this, he seemed to be a ** official, but the two big goblins didn't think about what legal procedures they needed to go through to become a ** official. Or whether it is proper to try their theft here, in short, in their opinion, a nobleman must have the right to shout and kill them.

The two nodded hurriedly.

"Very well, sue me how did you find her?" Brando asked.

"She? No, sir, we just found a pocket, and we don't know about it...... Her Royal Highness the princess is inside. Jill replied quickly.

"A pocket?"

"Yes," Jill hurriedly confided out all the qiē he had seen earlier, for fear that something had been omitted would make the 'judge' change his mind in a fit of rage. It is conceivable that since the other party can reduce the sentence imposed on them, it will naturally be able to increase it, right?

Jill admired his cleverness for a moment, his turquoise eyes moved rapidly, and for a moment even some details that he hadn't noticed before were recalled.

"Three people? Can you imitate their tone? ”

"Brando?" Freya was slightly stunned, she looked at Brando strangely, definitely this request was a bit redundant. To be honest, the tone and way of speaking between the nobles are actually similar, and it is necessary to distinguish who the other party is from the conversation. It's unlikely—especially if you don't know who the other person is.

But Brando shook his head slightly. Signal her not to rush. He frowned slightly, his thoughts were clearer than ever. What happened to Magdal really infuriated him. This time, those behind the scenes are destined to face his wrath.

Ventriloquism is one of the night thieves' main skills, and Jill is naturally good at it. He first imitated the tone and tone of the first person, and Brando understood as soon as he heard it, "Murros." He thought silently in his heart.

"Next."

"You Xi."

"Next one."

"This guy doesn't seem to know him, but he sounds like a soldier; The Hong Kong Guard should not have come together with the Templars yet, and besides, Merros and Youxi would not believe them, they should be members of several legions. Count Vitokin's henchman? Brando's brows furrowed, Freya's previous concerns were not actually a problem for him, ordinary people couldn't hear it, but it didn't mean that he couldn't hear it.

Those who dare to do something to Magdal will definitely not be nobodies, they must be those who have a background. There are only a few of these people in the whole of Eruin, and they are all people who are very familiar to Brando in history, and their tone is distinct to him.

Coupled with the murder of Princess Magdal, even the temple would definitely not be able to cover it. Therefore, the fewer people who know, the better, and the person who does it will definitely take care of the aftermath himself, and will not fake it to others.

And as soon as he heard Jill's description, he confirmed his suspicion - and it was.

Brando's face showed a sneer, and his eyes were also full. Freya looked at him and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Brando, you know?" ”

She was a little incredible, and although Brando's ability to show her had made her believe that there was nothing that the other could not do, it was too unbelievable at the moment. Is there really anyone in this world who is born omniscient and omnipotent?

This thought only existed in the future Valkyrie's heart for a moment, but then she saw Princess Magdal's pale face, and there was a pang of compassion in her heart, and she vaguely understood the reason for Brando's anger.

"Brando......," she exclaimed, faintly sad.

But Brando patted her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, Princess Magdal's affairs can be saved." Either way, this time I'm going to teach those who are secretly working their machinations a lesson that I'll never forget. ”

The last few words, he almost gritted his teeth and squeezed them out between his teeth.

"Ahh Freya was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at her companion in disbelief: "Princess...... She ......"

Brando nodded earnestly, not as a comforter, but as a reminder of something he had suddenly remembered before.
