Act 51 Wealth
"You dare to kill me?" The middle-aged man asked with fear.
"Why don't you dare?"
"I'm Count Doon, an important minister by His Majesty's side, and you're going to be an enemy of the whole of Eru?" The middle-aged man's gaze was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and he stared at Brando coldly: "It's not just you, you have to think about it - your companions will be accused of the same crimes." ”
Brando listened, was stunned for a moment, and fell silent.
Count Doon thought that the other party had been moved, and continued: "Of course, there is no room for maneuver between us. I can spare you and your companions, but for the sake of my honor, you must keep that elven sword. He said half-truthfully, but a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.
Brando let out a sneer, looking at the other man like an idiot. "What do you think I was thinking, Lord Earl?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned.
"I'm thinking, some creatures are so stupid and ignorant that they don't know why they die when they die." Brando shook his head: "Kill a king's minister? And prison escapes? In fact, no one will notice these small details, because this day in history is written—"
"In the year of flowers and summer leaves, in the early morning of June 2, the army of Mardala captured Fort Ridden. Earl Doon, Lord Goldo, and Sir Luc Besson, the leader of the Swordsmen of the Whitemane Legion, were killed in the war and died for their country. ”
"As for me, I'm just a passerby."
Earl Doon's eyes widened, and he looked at Brando like a ghost.
"Do you think I'm lying to you, but I'm not in the mood to joke with you. Since you don't want to cooperate, then borrow it. With that, Brando cut off his head with a sword. Then he sat down and let out a sigh of relief. Brando also tasted a little weak after the battle, not to mention that these battles were not beneficial at all, which was really not in line with his character.
But his gaze shifted to the headless corpse of Count Doon, and he was immediately stunned, and he looked at the other man with the ring on his middle finger, motionless.
It was a ring with an O' shaped snake pattern on its surface, and Brando was startled and then scolded. Damn, this guy turned out to be a member of the Society of All Things! He subconsciously scurried to grab the Thorn of Light on the low table, but it was too late: the surface of the ring writhed, and then a cold voice rang out in the room.
"Good, boy. I don't know who you are, but you won't live long—"
The shrill voice rang out abruptly and then disappeared abruptly, and if it weren't for Brando's knowledge of what the hell this organization was, he might have thought he was hallucinating.
But Brando knew that this organization and the 'Shepherds' were the same thing, and even more mysterious. They were behind the subversion of Eruin and Saint-Osore in the north, and no one knew what their purpose was, but most of the high-level missions seemed to be related to this organization.
This massive organization is a mystery in the game, and certainly here. However, Brando knew that the other party was not a good person, and he also knew that the high-ranking members of the organization all sensed each other through a ring called the Ouroboros Ring, and that if someone fell, the others would immediately know about it and elect a new person to take the person's place.
What followed, of course, was the never-ending revenge.
"***, I'm messing with these guys again. Martha-sama, are you playing with me? Brando clenched the elven sword in his hand and cursed angrily. He was unlucky in the game because of this organization, and the reason was that he also killed one of the high-ranking members of the other party.
I didn't expect history to be strikingly similar here.
And even, a little earlier-
"My lord, are you in there?" Charles ran over to find that the battle was over, but he was still thinking that the lord was the lord, and he could easily end the battle alone. Presumably, it is just a polite way to say that he must come to converge.
But Brando was angry when he heard this voice, if he hadn't been alert, it was estimated that this guy would have come to see a corpse. Although it is not known whether the card will return to its original shape immediately after the cardholder hangs up.
He picked up a stone and threw it out, causing the wizard apprentice to flash aside.
"Wow! Lord, listen to me—"
"I don't need to explain it, I won't take it as an example." Brando's mood calmed down after a sigh of relief, and he thought that at least he had one advantage for now, that is, after tonight, Mardara's army had razed Fort Ridden to nothing, and it would be difficult for the other side to find out who had killed Count Doon when the war was over—the One Society, though powerful, was not omnipotent.
Thinking of this, he was a little relieved, as long as the other party couldn't find him, there would be no way to mention the endless revenge.
Brando completely relaxed at this time, turned around and asked, "How many bottles of mana potions are left?" ”
"A bottle doesn't work, but I'm like I've been drained now." The young man smiled shyly, embarrassed to say that he was reluctant to use this precious 'wizard's gold'.
Brando glanced at him and said, "Let's go to the rooftop, you have a drink on the way." Mana potions don't work instantly, so I'm going to see you resurrect in full place before the next battle begins. ”
"What does it mean to be resurrected in situ in a full state?"
"To put it simply, a wizard without mana is no different from a dead man. When you regain your full mana, you will naturally resurrect your full state in situ. ”
"It's a bit mean to say that, but it seems to be true." Charles nodded.
"Naturally, can I talk nonsense with you." Brando said that although I am not a wizard, I can at least educate you at least level 40 with your little wizard apprentice. Of course, he was still a little strange, why did this guy and the old witch of Babasha seem to value mana potions so much, although mana potions are relatively expensive, but they don't have to go so far, right?
"Your Lordship, every word is fine." The young wizard was convinced.
Brando picked up his sword and walked up to Earl Doon, and he held the leaf-shaped elven sword close to the other man's corpse - the spine of the sword was a faint color, as if it could reflect the blood on the other man's clothes.
He frowned, remembering the scene for a moment, and then nodded.
"My lord, what are you doing?"
"I'm saving myself."
"Self-help?"
"No more nonsense, follow me. By the way, what you saw. Brando knew he couldn't let this guy get too sè and save him another leak. But he didn't realize that his words and deeds now have become more and more like when he was the head of the game -
As the two walked, Charles reported to Brando what he had seen. When he heard about the noble private soldiers gathered outside the castle, Brando couldn't help but be worried and relieved, on the one hand, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to escape from so many people. But on the other hand, the pressure on Roman and Freya's side has been reduced a lot.
To be honest, although he was so cheering them up, he was still very worried about these two girls.
But halfway through, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Charles, what did I tell you to do?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"A highland knight has entrusted his apprentice with the task of collecting a little money to make a living."
When Charles heard this, he immediately became excited: "Lord Lord, you have made a great gain. ”
"Your knowledgeable lord, you must have heard of the name Ramona Dark, the little princess of St. Osor, who was born in the year of the frog's song, but she is best known not for this status, but for her time as a court painter at Cruz during her wandering years, when she was a wandering student, and her paintings of that period were once known as Vaynd's voice. She was also a pioneer of the Mesola art style, a master of a generation, but I did not expect that this Duke of Goran Elsen seemed to be an avid fan of the other side, and that he had many treasures in his collection. ”
"No, I haven't heard the name. I just care about how much it's worth. Brando shook his head, who in the game would care about that. They usually plunder some gold and silver utensils, and now that I think about it, they are really uneducated.
"Vulgar, lord, vulgar!" Charles shook his head disdainfully: "But it should be fine for such a painting to sell for millions of tors on the black market." ”
"Barely qualified."
Seeing that his lord and he did not have a common hobby, Charles was a little interested for a while. However, he still cheered up, and casually took out a booklet from his shrinkage bag: "Lord Lord, I also got a copy of this." ”
"What is this?"
"It's a booklet for magic cards, and most of them are tarot cards used for divination. But there's another mystery in there," the young wizard Hu opened the card album and pulled out a card, "Look at this, Lord Lord." ”
Brando had a vague idea of what he thought when he saw the card, but he took it and made sure it was a fate card.
It was a cyan wind-type card with an X in the top left, and an upright, fluorescent equilateral triangle with three spells on it—
Ta'm symbolizes the target segment of the spell, Stau symbolizes the mana that directs the spell, and Ee is the eye of the god of mana.
The cost on the card is three cyan Wind Crystals.
Brando reversed the card and subconsciously scanned:
Loss of energy
(Tower X)
Wind Element 3
【Spell - Instant】
Target the target spell so that it chooses a new target.
'Your magic, I'm in your hands—Spire Guard, Ordu'
Charles watched Brando's expression and said at the right time, "This is a rare white spell card, Lord Lord. Looks like we're out of luck. ”
"White Sorcery Cards?" Brando asked.
"It's just a sorcery card that doesn't require it."
"But doesn't it have a fee?"
"No, it's such a lord. Most spells and summons in Destiny Cards require you to be in a certain state except for basic land cards. Like the Knight deck, it locks in the Knight/Warrior's path to valor, so you can use it, Lord Lord—" Charles replied.
"And white sorcery cards aren't in demand?"
"Exactly, my lord."
Brando frowned, and suddenly remembered the scene he had encountered in Guigente's tomb. He wondered if there was any connection between them, after all, in his previous life, he had never heard of any fate cards in the game. In fact, he has had this doubt for a long time, and it is only today that he has a chance to think about it again.
