Act 139 Gentle Hope

"Akane?"

The red-haired girl looked at him without saying a word, just shook her head; Then she looked up, and Brando had already seen something in those burning amber eyes, and he turned around, and sure enough, there was an uninvited guest in the cloister on the second floor of the hall.

Or maybe it was there, he just hadn't noticed it before.

The tall skeleton wielded a battle axe, shrouded in an old brass armor, its leaky jaws slightly open, and a crack in its skull that seemed like a silent mockery. Kabaith stared at him condescendingly, the dark yellow flames in his eyes flickering slightly, and he already recognized the young man he had seen from afar in the breakout battle at Ridenberg.

"Viscount Tinsgang?"

In a hoarse and leaky voice, Kabaiz said, "Farewell to Riddenburg, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Ma-Da-La." Brando grinded a few words from between his teeth.

The undead of Madara, how did they end up here? The young man looked at Gruddin with a cold face, and his mind turned sharply, and he asked coldly, "When did Madara and the nobles of Eruin become close to each other?" ”

"Over time, life will turn to dust. In this world, only interests are eternal, Mr. Viscount. ”

Kabais replied in a low voice.

Its answer confirms Brando's suspicion that Grudinin is in collusion with Madara. But what do they want? Brando looked up and saw the tall skeletal shelf, the battle axe in his hand pointed diagonally between him and the vile baron. Presumably, as long as he makes a move, Kabaiz will definitely not sit idly by.

This 'one-eyed' Tagus' general, the lord of the Dark Realm, has at least the strength of the Golden Neutral. And he himself has just touched the edge of the Golden Steps, although it is not clear who will win or lose, but it is not difficult for the other party to stop him from killing someone under his nose.

Tagus is cautious and cautious, and Kabaiz is here, and he must not be without a plan. Brando turned around, and sure enough, he saw a figure in the shadows on one side, and then a young man with a pale face and a gray robe came out.

Roscoe, another old acquaintance; Brando remembers that he was a humble necromancer apprentice when he first met him in Buche, but now he had two purple flame insignia on his neckline.

Intermediate Necromancer.

Brando fell silent, his gaze falling on Baron Grudin, who was not far away.

The latter also regained some composure from his previous panic, and the middle-aged man forced his composure with one hand on the sawdust and his face sinking like water, but the swollen veins under the blue-gray skin revealed the tension in his heart.

But as soon as the sword in Brando's hand turned, a faint light from the silver blade hit his eyes, causing the latter to shrink slightly. Grudin's then realized that this was a silent teasing, and he was furious in his heart, but he couldn't bear it on his face.

"I really didn't expect anyone to sell their soul to the devil," Brando replied coldly, "You rotting skeletons of bones are here to save one of this guy's dogs?" ”

Baron Grudin, who had regained some confidence from his allies, sharpened his teeth like a beast, his eyes glaring fiercely, and said in a low voice, "Young man, you can just talk nonsense. But you know in your heart that even if you don't rely on me, the allies of Madara, do you dare to make enemies of the Denel family? For the sake of a momentary battle of will, it will inevitably lead to a war between the two families; After all, Viscount Tinsgang, presumably your family will not allow you to go out and do your business to this point......"

But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Brando's icy snort—as if the temperature of the hall had plummeted by several degrees, and it was so cold that ice slag fell from the air.

Except for the undead, almost everyone present couldn't help but shiver.

Baron Gruding froze even more, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat forever. It's like he'll never understand how wrong he was from the start, because Brando was just an impostor. In fact, the young man's heart was already murderous, and as soon as he raised his hand, the cage-handled sword was like a silver thread stabbing straight into Baron Grudin's throat.

The latter was stunned, he obviously didn't expect Brando to really say that he would do it, which was not in line with the norm, and for a moment Baron Gruding stayed there and didn't know how to dodge - if it weren't for a heavy axe falling from the sky and falling to the ground with a 'boom', the long axe handle would have choked the long sword in Brando's hand - I am afraid that what was left on the spot was just a dead corpse.

"I seem to have said that," Kabaith grasped the handle of the axe in his bony hands, and looked at the young man condescendingly, "Baron Grudin, who is an important ally of ours, cannot just hand him over to you so lightly." ”

"I'm sorry you didn't say that." Brando went toe-for-tat, and both of them stepped back at the same time with the force of their hands. Brando started a burst of power, and both sides took three steps back, and neither took the slightest advantage.

"Young man, it's time for you to retreat," said Kabais, holding his tomahawk to the ground, before looking up and replying, "Madara and Eruinshan have ceased fighting, so why do you have to provoke a war between you and the Baron?" There was such a commotion in the hall that the guards outside the castle could not have been unaware, and you should not worry at all about the servants you left in the courtyard—"

Brando's face sank, and he was about to continue his work.

"Mr. Brando," but the red-haired girl grabbed him by the sleeve, and she gritted her teeth—Sanfford and the rest of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Regiment were still outside.

"Miss Antitina, you also think I shouldn't kill this scumbag?" Brando asked coldly.

The aristocratic daughter was slightly stunned, and then she came back to her senses from the previous moment. She looked at Grudin, who was sitting on the ground, with a very bad face, and longed to smash the other party's 'human' face, so that she could not be of the same class as the other party, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and replied with a strong grip in her heart:

"My lord, this guy is the lord of the kingdom after all."

The aristocratic girl had something to say, which was to point out Grudin's identity to Brando. In troubled times, the nobles fought against each other, and as long as it didn't hurt the roots, the kingdom might not have time to pay attention to it - but she was going to tell Sù Brando, and the trouble was the man behind Grudin.

Count Jean Denel, as the supreme administrator of the territory of the kingdom of Eruin, is nominally a privileged earl, but in fact the power is the same as a marquis; Since two generations ago, in order to cope with the barbarian invasions on the border, this family with a deep history began to usurp the private army of nobles, and today, the local power has almost become the only legal private army in the kingdom.

Even though the royal family does not value these 'barbarians' and the factors that check and balance the autonomy of the mountain people, in this chaotic world, the power of this privileged earl can be seen.

If Brando were to kill his heir here, it would be a declaration of war between the families. Although he called himself Viscount Gunstin, paper could not contain fire, and these things did not stand up to scrutiny—not to mention the young man's desire to seek a territory. People can run, but the nascent territory is vulnerable, and in the face of the monstrous anger of Count Denel, I am afraid that it will only be destroyed in the end.

The aristocratic girl did not want to see the young man's hard work go to waste, so she wanted him to think twice. But on the one hand, she was not willing to show even the slightest cowardice in front of this baron with a human face and a beast's heart, so she said it so darkly.

However, she firmly believes that if it is the young man in front of her, she will be able to understand her every hidden meaning in detail.

Brando snorted coldly.

"Judge the situation and think twice." Kabais's cracked, leaky jawbone seemed to symbolize a silent smile.

The sword in the young man's hand pointed diagonally to the ground, and his gaze looked past the tall skeleton and stared at Grudin, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking condescendingly at a dead dog-

Feeling the cold murderous intent in Brando's heart, Grudin's anger hardened, or because he was hiding behind Kabais, he sneered: "If you don't kill me today, Mr. Viscount, you will be repaid in the future-"

The Baron of Tonigel almost gritted his teeth, he had never suffered such a disgrace since he had been a child—the gentry who had been invited to see Brando's jokes were now more like shooting themselves in the foot, a frustration that burned with rage.

But he was about to say something to further anger Brando, so that the young man would lose his mind and fight with Kabais. But he was just about to speak, when he saw Brando's hand raised—

A silver light had grazed his cheek.

Baron Grudin's stunned moment, the hair on the side of his cheek suddenly fell half, and his face was painful, and there was a piercing blood mark in the eyes of others. He groped his hand and lowered it to see that his palms were covered with blood, and the powerful lord of Eruin howled like a pig.

Kabis was unmoved, the tall skeleton didn't have to look back to know what Brando's blow would do. It was not Grudin's bodyguard, and it was not guilty of slaying on the slightest skin wound, and it would be better to teach the latter a lesson, so that the arrogant and arrogant nobleman would never understand the relationship between them.

It looked at Brando again, and the young man put down his hand and said coldly, "Keep your dog's head, and come and get it next time-"

With that, he glanced around the hall, and the cold aura forced everyone to take a step back. Then the young man turned around, glanced at Antitina and Akane, and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

As soon as he turned around, the guards and heavily armored guards outside the hall who had already heard the news immediately brushed and separated the two sides, joking, most of them happened to witness the scene of Brando's powerful blow and killing the more than twenty knights, even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they didn't understand what kind of killing god this young man was. As long as he doesn't get along with their lord, they will be thankful, where do they dare to stop it.

And although Grudin, who was howling in the hall, was angry and anxious, he had the intention to let his subordinates leave Brando behind, but when the words came, he thought of the cold sword that Brando had made before.

The Baron's mouth opened, and the last words stuck in his throat.
