Act 5 Letterhead (First Update, Double Monthly Pass)

Brando stood up and walked over to Funya, put his hand on the little girl's young shoulder, patted Wen Yan lightly and replied, "Funya is a sensible child," he looked up at the tall Druid Elder. "I regard Funia as my sister, and I entrust her to you in accordance with her wishes. I don't care if she can become a forest druid, but I ask you to keep her safe," he paused, and his tone was a little serious, "can you do that?" ”

Andrew nodded, "You don't need to say it, Lord Lord." ”

"Thank you, Brother Brando." Phonya grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands and looked up in a well-behaved reply.

Brando smiled and touched her forehead. The little girl's seriousness and sensibility are naturally likable wherever she is, but Brando doesn't really care about what she says about making the druid 'allied' with him. It can be seen that Andrew was not willing at first, but since there is a connection between them in Valhalla, this alliance is actually a natural thing.

He turned back to the noble maiden and said, "Antitina, you take Funya to prepare for the journey. ”

"Huh?" The aristocratic daughter looked at Andrew, as if she had just come back to her senses from her thoughts. She looked at Brando puzzled, "I'm going?" ”

"Of course," replied Brando, "Fnia is still a child, but she is a girl after all." Of course, only you girls know what to bring. Or just let Roman do it—" The young man laughed, and the conversation changed: "But give her Funia, can you rest assured?" ”

Antitina thought of the merchant's swagger, and feared that she would ask her to help Funia get dressed, and that she would fill the little girl's little backpack with a bag full of her favorite glass beads, though she had spent a great deal of effort to buy them from the merchants when she was in Buche. She sighed involuntarily: "But...... Akane can't you? ”

"She's not as attentive as you." Brando replied.

Antitina glanced at him, inexplicably happy in her heart. However, when she saw Brando's eyes, she knew that the other party might have something else, she thought for a moment, and simply asked, "Do you have any other orders, Lord Lord?" ”

"Inform Clenshia and let them come to me." Brando replied.

Antitina nodded, and she walked over and took Funya's little hand, and took the little girl out and closed the door. By the time they left, the three Andrew and Brando, as well as the elven girl standing beside the young man with her head bowed, were left in the room.

"Do you have any other orders, Lord Lord?" Andrew looked at the young man who was very ambitious in his eyes, and then asked. Although unworldly, this old druid elder knew in his heart that Brando's opening of Phnia was not as simple as preparing her for her outfit. "We're druids, we don't know how to talk around the corners, and the lord has something to say."

"I'm busy, so I won't send you on the rest of the journey." Brando replied, "I do have something to say here, and I know that you have a dispensable attitude towards the alliance between you and me—"

"Your Lord." Red, who was behind Andrew, frowned and interrupted him. But he immediately saw Brando waving his hand at him.

"Wait until I'm done." Brando spoke, "I know the druid's attitude towards the Black Forest, including the agreement between you and Nya. This is your tradition, but I also have something to tell you, the power of chaos is very strong. ”

"You're a member of the Society of Oneness?" Andrew's eyes were cold: "Silver Sky Snake? Shepherd, or sheep-headed? ”

"I thought you'd put the tree wrangler at the front."

Elder Druid snorted coldly.

"Neither," Brando shook his head, though. "Those you say happen to be my enemies."

"But the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily a friend either."

"Indeed," the young lord continued, almost without thinking, "but you and I both know that this era is coming to an end, and the peak of the Demon Moon is coming—the last magic tide ended the Chaos Era, and no one knows what will happen this time." In such an environment, it would be impossible for you to suppress the growth of the Black Forest. ”

"So what?"

"Black Forest, I know a lot more than you do."

Andrew clasped his hands and looked at the young man with an extremely suspicious look. They had been friends with the Black Forest all their lives, and now a stranger told them that he knew the forest better than they did. That feeling is even more ridiculous than the class door axe, it is simply gratuitous arrogance.

Brando just laughed, "It's okay if you don't believe me." Recall that before the Age of Chaos, Vajnd was less than a quarter of what it is today. Who carved out such a vast territory and turned the thorny Black Forest into the land of civilization today? ”

Andrew was a little proud: "It's a druid." ”

Brando still shook his head. "The ancient druids of the Ring of the World, to be exact. After the fall of the Tower of Babel, the Dark Dragons scattered the Druids into the wilderness, and the Ring of the World split into what it is today as the Shepherds and Orthodox Druids. He paused, "I don't need to say that?" ”

"Your lord is indeed very knowledgeable."

"No, it's just that we all have this in common," Brando sighed deliberately, "Since the fall of the Tower of Babel, there has been a rift between the ancient and modern systems of magic. Both druids and wizards are looking for ancient legacies, but it just so happens that I know a member of the dragon clan and happen to have some knowledge of the druid's teachings. ”

"You know ancient magic?" Andrew's eyes flickered and sharpened, and he knew that the only known golden remnant in this world was the dragons. Dragons are also the only ones who understand ancient string magic, and while druid spells are more mysterious runic magic, mystical knowledge is often universal. What's more, since Brando said so, there must be an implicit meaning from him.

If he doesn't understand it anymore, he'll be a real fool.

"Auiseaamrs," Brando said the incantation almost word for word. "Have you heard of the Seed of Life?" He looked up and asked, "You should understand what I mean by this." ”

The faces of the three druids changed suddenly. The seed of life in Brando's mouth is the species of the Elven Tree, which the Shepherds often transform into the Golden Demon Tree, but the Sacred Tree of Life is the only tree they have found that can effectively transform the Black Forest. It's just that the tree species of life are scarce in the first place, and in addition to artificial cultivation, they can only seek ancient heritage in the ruins.

After all, it was originally a legacy of antiquity.

They all knew that the passage Brando was reciting was a transformation spell. The core rune is 'Eaam' for the earth, which is likely to be the 'Word of Nature' in ancient druidic spells, and legend has it that it can directly purify a black forest and save it from the erosion of magic. However, that kind of spell has not existed in this world for more than a thousand years, if it were not for some records in ancient books. I'm afraid the three of them could only tell that the spell had some connection to druid spells.

Andrew looked at Brando with a complicated expression: "Nature's words? ”

Brando nodded.

"Your Excellency, will you use this spell? Are you a druid? ”

Brando shook his head. In fact, he is not unfamiliar with this thing, because the spell is written on an ancient stone tablet, and almost every player in the later game can know some of it to a greater or lesser extent. However, I only knew that I couldn't use it, because only the ancient tablets supported this spell, and it was for this reason that the later wizarding wars broke out. To put it simply, it's a gimmick, beautiful to look at, but actually worthless.

But it's enough to get the attention of these druids.

Sure enough, Andrew frowned: "What does that mean?" ”

"Simply put, I'm as interested in the Black Forest as I am," Brando replied, "but as strong as order is, so rebellion from chaos is strong, so going it alone is not the perfect way to solve problems." He said, picking up a candle from his table, "Druids are used to solving problems from the perspective of the laws of the world and nature, but the goddess of the forest has shown you another way. ”

"What way?" Andrew asked.

Brando carefully used scissors to cut off a split section of the candle's wick and lit it. He raised his head and said, "That's borrowing the power of people." He replied, "Since the Year of Chaos, civilization has rarely expanded the scope of the Guardians, except for a limited traditional model of 'Church-Pioneer Knights'. However, due to the lack of territory and the gradual erosion of magical power, the wars between civilizations are increasing day by day—"

He paused, and the conversation changed: "But I plan to open up a new model to end this qiē." Even if it's just an attempt," the young lord smiled, "but I'm confident. I just don't know if you're interested. ”

Andrew lowered his head and muttered, "Lord Lord, you might as well say it directly." ”

"I mean," Brando said, picking up the envelope on the table, tilting the candle slightly, letting the hot wax drip onto the envelope. "Transform Eruin into a vibrant, expanding nation—"

The three druids took a breath of cold air, and Andrew expected Brando's ambition, but he didn't expect this young man's ambition to be so great. His goal was far more than just a prince, but to transform the ancient kingdom. Even they could tell that his tone was much more than that.

Eruin of the expansion.

This young man wanted to build an empire with his own hands.

Ambition is a good thing for some, but it causes Andrew to be deeply uneasy, and he looks at Brando with alarm. "Expansion brings bloodshed and war, which is contrary to our beliefs," he whispered, lest he cause the other to be unhappy, "and therefore my lord, you are wrong if you want to use this to induce us to join you." ”

"War is inevitable," Brando said, setting the candle flat and taking off the Wind Rear Ring. "For me, however, war is a means of protecting myself. For I am afraid you misunderstand the meaning of this expansion—"

"Wait, you mean?" Andrew interrupted him incredulously.

Brando nodded seriously, "When I said expansion, the goal is the wilderness. He pressed the Queen's Ring to the wax juice and lifted it: "With the power of the whole country, open up new frontiers to the wilderness." ”
