Act 110 Zhan Qing III
Brando's face was expressionless, he knew that it was not that he was sharp enough to make the other party feel troublesome, but that it was simply an advantage caused by the asymmetry of information. Because of this, he became more and more cautious to avoid inadvertently revealing too much information, after all, no one in this world knew better than him what kind of 'person' was in front of him except the one-eyed dragon.
He was noncommittal to the other party's exclamation, and only asked, "Where is Tagus?" β
At this time, Huang Huo was pressing his little hand on the window lattice, and saw that a group of guards had crossed the square and surrounded the inn. Seeing the archers with their bows outstretched, she frowned and raised her hand to lower the blinds, and the light in the room dimmed for a moment.
In the somewhat dimly lit room, Instaron's expression became solemn, and the light fell on his somewhat pale face through the grid of shutters, and tiny glowing particles floated up and down in the air.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dreary for a while.
"The opportunity has been given to you, whether you cherish it or not is up to you, Sir Instalon." Brando looked at him and added quietly.
"I thought Lord Lord was a smart man," Instaron smiled wryly, "I thought I could take this opportunity. β
"You mean I asked a stupid question?"
The genius general of Madara shrugged.
Brando ignored it, looking in the direction of the room leading to the hallway. "I'll go with Huanghuo and Mr. Liu to the Jade Hill, and from there I'll take a boat to Nabel or Drowning Bay."
Instaron shuddered, his brow furrowed deeply.
"What are you going to do......?" A near-impossible possibility flashed through his mind, but it was too unreasonable for him to make a judgment.
"I wanted to go to Madara, but I lacked a suitable guide. That makes my decision undecided," a series of heavy footsteps soon sounded in the aisle, but Brando withdrew his gaze from that side, "Perhaps I think it would be better to return to Eruin with Jiufeng's caravan." β
These words made Instaron raise his head and look at him with a complicated and tangled gaze. That look was full of strangeness and disbelief.
Although the latter tried his best to hide his feelings, compared to a few decades later, the current city of this genius general was obviously not deep enough.
At least Brando read what he wanted from that fleeting gaze.
He pursed his lips and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least so far, with the advantage of information and strength, he can still maintain control of the situation.
"You want to go to see Your Majesty?"
"I don't like the word 'audience,' but if I can convince him, I can use it. But I believe that for Madara, the rod of mercury is the only one that cannot be replicated. So for this country, if it weren't for it, the future might have been a lot different. β
He had planned to return directly to Eruin from the Jade Hill, but from the moment he saw Instaron, a bold thought arose in his heart.
Instaron looked at him steadily, as if deaf to the sound of approaching footsteps in the hallway: "You plan to assassinate Your Majesty?" β¦β¦ Then why am I leading the way for you, are you kidding me, lord? β
Continuing to observe the situation outside through the holes in the shutters, she suddenly whispered to the house, "They have kicked the other guests out. And the innkeeper, Mr. Brando. β
Brando nodded at her. Signaling that he understood, he turned around and replied to Instalon: "Earlier you thought I had asked a stupid question, but now that Your Excellency is deliberately playing dumb, I'm sure you'll understand why." β
Instaron was stunned for a moment, and then a tangled look appeared on his face. It was as if he was weighing something up, but this decision made people like him feel like him.
Someone slammed the door from the outside, and the vibration caused the nearby ceilings to rustle and fall dust.
The knight outside the door cursed in a low voice, probably not expecting this door to be so strong.
Phoenix Fire turned around, trying to draw his sword. But she saw Brando gesture to her for a moment.
She blinked a little quietly, thinking that Brando wanted to negotiate with the other party, but she didn't expect him to look in that direction faintly, and a silver circle of light rippled in front of her.
The silver aperture slowly moved forward about half an inch away, and with a loud bang, the entire inn exploded.
The tsunami-like roar of the mountain was so intense that even she couldn't help frowning and covering her ears, and after shaking the mountain for a while, Huang Huo raised her head in a trance, and was shocked to find that half of the inn had disappeared.
Seven or eight paces forward from where Brando stood, three or four steps back from the chair where the man in the black cloak was sitting, the back half of the inn was gone, leaving only the broken wooden floor, where it hung empty.
The place where the bed and furniture had been placed, the passage leading to the corridor, the wall in that direction, and the door on the wall were all gone, and only half of the inn rooms remained, and the deep blue and black waters of the Wagtail Strait could be seen at a glance.
"Cloth ...... Mr. Brando? β
Brando raised his eyebrows, he was just learning the technique of the Dusk Dragon to impact the space with the power of the spirit to cause a space storm, of course, he added his own elemental power and understanding of the laws of time and space, but he didn't expect the power to be so amazing.
He only used about three points of strength in this blow, but the power was not inferior to the full force of the peak of the law.
There was a commotion among the guards in the square, and the knights there had no time to stop it, and the archers who had already opened their bows had already subconsciously shot a wave of feathered arrows.
The onlookers from afar couldn't help but open their mouths wide, looking at the rain of arrows that climbed higher and higher, thinking that they hadn't seen such a big scene in Rosalin for many years.
Some people are already mourning for Brando and the others, not because they have anything to do with Brando, but simply because they are dissatisfied with the local rulers.
But what happened in the next moment made everyone stunned.
The sound of whirring through the air was coming from outside the house.
Brando stretched out his right hand in that direction without looking back, and the ripples of space swept across the entire square in an instant, and all the feathered arrows were immediately fixed in mid-air, dense like a wall.
With a flick of his finger, the arrow wall swept back at a thousandfold speed, like a storm, beating the guards in the square to pieces.
The terrible screams suddenly rang out.
"Mr. Brando, they ......" Phoenix Fire was a little unbearable.
Brando shook his head, Phoenix Fire was still too naΓ―ve after all, but he wouldn't kill innocents indiscriminately just because he had power. "I didn't kill them, but if I don't teach these people a lesson, they won't retreat easily."
Huang Huo hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw that most of the people who fell to the ground were only injured, and at this time, the morale of the lord's side in the square had collapsed, and many people had already lost their weapons and started to run away.
Even a couple of knights.
She couldn't help but look at Brando apologetically, thinking that she had accidentally blamed the other party, and that Mr. Brando was indeed a real swordsman, and only such a person could go to the extreme.
She also had some admiration in her heart, not only did the other party have a heart to restrain power, but also Brando's control of spatial power was so meticulous.
With one enemy against a hundred, what a spectacular scene, Phoenix Huo silently held his sword, thinking in his heart when he would be able to have such strength.
And at this time, Instaron seemed to have finally made up his mind, and said with some solemnity:
"We have a stronghold in the west city of Rosalin......"
"Where is Tagus?" Brando turned around.
He nodded silently.
β¦β¦
"So, they mean they discovered the Phoenix Fire?"
The sunlight penetrated the shadows of the trees, leaving sparse shadows on the ground.
In a grove near the city of Rosalin, a man half-seated on a white rock was turning his head and confirming to his men with a hint of surprise.
The long black hair was scattered behind his head, hiding half of his thin and pale face, which should have been a face full of bewitching beauty, but the excessively thin lips and gloomy look weakened this feminine temperament, making his demeanor look a little cold.
And the words that came out of his mouth were equally mean: "The ghost and phoenix descended on the disaster, and the nine heads suffered together, but I didn't expect to underestimate these people, I thought that they hid in the Wagtail Strait, and they should have no ability." β
The subordinate hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Lord Fang Qi, the lord of Rosalin wants to see you, do you plan to go over?" β
"No, no, I don't like anyone here," the man shook his head, "and Mr. Liu is not easy to deal with, he has the Jade Phoenix Stone on him, and he must invite the two masters out, and he can't use that thing." β
He waved his hand casually, and the black flying phoenix pattern on the sleeves of his cloud-like robe seemed to come to life: "Find someone to talk to him, by the way, find a way to get him out of that damn castle." Tell him how powerful Phoenix Fire and the man are, and don't let him get anything to chanceβ"
"Your Excellency?"
"It's best to kill two birds with one stone, but prioritizing things is nothing compared to the secrets of the stagnant realm."
"Yes."
In the afternoon, the light became a little brighter again.
The noise from outside the courtyard became even louder, and Delphien, who was tapping something in her diary, looked up, frowned slightly, pulled out her chair, stood up, came to the window, and pushed the lattice wooden window open with her hand to open a gap.
β¦β¦ (To be continued......)
