Act 80 An Unexpected Visitor
Everyone could see Brando's hesitation, and Juta and Akane glanced at each other and didn't speak. The teenagers were also nervous, indeed, everyone saw the difficulty of every challenge in the Destiny Arena, and if it wasn't for the woman who suddenly appeared in the last challenge, everyone knew that the young man would have failed at this time.
As for the challenges that follow, no one dares to say that they have the bottom in their hearts.
It's the same with Brando.
Medissa gently pulled him from behind and whispered, "My lord, no card in the deck is unique, it's really not good, let's give up." ”
But Brando was still hesitating, saying that, but Vajnd is so big, and there are so many fate cards scattered around the world, and there are many of them, but if you have to meet one or two of them, this chance is too small.
Brando has played the game, and naturally knows that this kind of rare equipment is sometimes a matter of character, and it may be missed once and never have a chance.
But he is not a reckless person, even a gambler is desperate to seize that one in ten thousand chance, but if he goes to the gladiatorial arena again, there may not be a one in ten thousand chance.
He thought about it for a moment and was about to shake his head, but at this time he heard a voice: "Lord Lord, let me try it." ”
He raised his head and watched Akane barely support her body to stand up from the cage, the girl's face was not very good, but she still insisted on frowning and said to this side: "My lord, I feel that my strength has recovered a little, and I haven't challenged it yet, let me try, okay?"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt Yuta pull her from behind.
The mercenary leader could see from Brando's hesitation that the young man was quite interested in Curvin's terms, and she was worried that Akane might really agree to ask Brando-I don't know why, Yuta saw Akane's weak back at this moment as if she saw her sister still alive in front of her--she instinctively didn't want the other party to take the risk.
"Let me go, Juta." Akane blocks Yuta's hand.
The female mercenary captain was stunned.
But Brando shook his head: "Some? ”
The first round of challenges in the gladiatorial arena is the three-headed dog of hell, the silver middle and upper rank, even Yuta is not its opponent, what is the use of recovering some strength of the red-haired girl?
He could see that Akane's strength at this time was at most at the level of the Silver Beginner Rank.
"Nope." Without much thought, Brando replied, "I can't let you take any chances." ”
"But—"
Brando didn't plan to pay attention to Akane, but no matter how important the cards were, they were not as important as the people around him, and he had not yet developed the habit of those nobles who disregarded life.
What's more, if Akane is put in a cage again, will he save it or not?
So Brando shook his head and rejected the other party's offer, he looked up at Curvin, and shook his head regretfully at the other party. Then he looked at the sky over the Colosseum, ready to reply—
"Huh?"
"Brando, you're here!" A voice rang out that everyone hadn't expected, a crisp voice that made Brando's heart beat wildly - how could she be here? He couldn't help but subconsciously look back, and sure enough, he saw that familiar face—which was also full of surprises.
With her hands on the leather bag on her chest, Miss Merchant walked in from the other side of the arena - she was with a dwarf, and the dwarf Brando, whom he found to know, remembered that the other man seemed to be called Oldum, and that he was supposed to be a descendant of rune dwarves.
He'd met each other at the 'Trout in the Woods' bar.
But how did Roman end up with this guy? Brando's mind flashed with doubts.
Oldham didn't care about the others around him at all, and the old dwarf looked up at a building around him, his eyes widened and his mouth wide open, as if he was fully immersed in it, and he was shocked.
"Brando—" Unlike him, Roman's entire attention was on Brando from the beginning, and no one gave him a second glance.
The surprise on the face of this young lady quickly turned into a deep worry.
She blinked, and her eyes turned a little red—in fact, this was the first time Brando had seen such concern in Roman's eyes: "People are so worried, Brando! Aunt isn't there either, if something happens to Brando......"
The rare weakness in the girl's words made Brando's heart soften, and she was going to ask how the other party had come here - what about the two angels? Naturally, you can't say anything like this.
Roman lowered his head, put his feet together, and unconsciously touched each other with his round scalp shoes: "Roman came secretly, Brando, are you going to curse next......"
Having said that, the eccentric young lady still secretly looked at Brando's expression with the tips of her eyes, looking terrified.
Brando was still reproachful when he saw her like this, and besides, Roman was also for his sake. Of course he wants to teach her a lesson so that the eldest lady doesn't run around in the future, but not now.
The young man shook his head with tears and laughter, and his grumbling belly disappeared with the wind.
However, a new problem arises, and it stands to reason that anyone entering this place will have to take on a challenge. With Roman's strength, there is naturally no way to challenge Guò, so who will rescue her?
Brando's scalp tingled for a while, the sixth challenge?
But sometimes the more he worries about something, the sooner something will meet, and at this time, the voice in the sky really came unexpectedly: "New challenger, do you want to accept the challenge?" ”
"Huh?" Roman looked up in bewilderment, turned his head to look left and right, as if looking for the voice to come from there.
"Little Roman, give up," Brando reminded through gritted teeth, he couldn't possibly leave the other party here alone anyway. This girl is the first person he met when he came to this world, and it is also the partner he believes in his heart who has lived and died with him from the beginning, and has a different meaning for him than everyone else.
Maybe more important than the Valkyrie in my mind-
If the revival of Eruin and the fate of the Valkyrie were a dream in his heart, the merchant lady had a more real meaning to him—he had always seen her as his bond to the world, even more so than his own family—and the two souls in his body made the word family seem both intimate and distant, as if in the end only his grandfather's old face was the clearest of all.
That's why, until now, Brando hasn't thought about going back to 'his' home, subconsciously, he doesn't think he can face it.
But Roman is different.
He had promised her to protect her as her knight.
Then Brando touched his sword, and he had to fulfill his promise as a man. If he can't be defeated, he will be turned into a stone statue here with Roman, although he is a little unwilling to think so, but Brando does not regret it.
"Your Excellency?"
As his summoned creature, Medisa was keenly aware of what was going on in his mind.
"It's my choice," Brando shook his head and smiled, "It's just that you're going to have to stay here for a while, Melissa, maybe it will be a long time, until the next master finds you." ”
"It's not Metisha who is summoned." The silver elf girl looked at him quietly and said softly: "Metissa only belongs to adults, just like Charles, each traveling mage has its own laws and worlds, the same cards, but it does not mean the same people-"
Brando's heart moved.
Medisa looked at the sidelines and said in a soft voice, "Presumably Miss Akane is the same." ”
"What do you mean?"
The little princess of the silver elf raised her head to look at him, and there was a kind of silence in her pale silver eyes, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had been washed in these quiet, ethereal eyes.
"After the disbandment of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, the adult is Miss Akane's only sustenance, haven't you found out, my lord?" She asked in a whisper.
"How so?" Brando was stunned: "Aren't there any other people from the Gray Wolf Mercenary Regiment?" Also, that Ike, if I'm not mistaken, Akane must like him—"
"Autn'Smida'ttdokares—" Metisa replied in an ethereal voice.
"People need each other...... Brando's interpretation of the old silver elf proverb.
The silver elf girl nodded: "Because he is valued, he will value the person who values him." There are not many people in this world who can really be your friends, so we will cherish this hard-won mutual understanding. ”
"Miss Akane can feel the attention, and so can Metisa," the little princess of the silver elf smiled slightly, "I only have one bastard child in the last rank - but around adults, I can feel that kind of real respect and courtesy, which comes from the happiness of the heart, and Medisa cherishes-"
She smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Lord Lord!" So don't feel guilty! ”
Brando nodded, he looked at Roman, Miss Merchant obviously hadn't figured out the current situation yet, she looked at Brando in a daze: "What's the matter, Brando, did Roman do something wrong?" ”
"Nope." Brando shook his head: "I still think it's cuter to do bad things with good intentions than to do good things with bad intentions." "Because the former can only get worse, and the latter can get better, right?" he said. ”
He drew his sword.
There was silence all around, and Cowen thought about taking back what he was holding - he didn't say more, after one experience, everyone knew the rules here, and they all obviously understood the situation that Brando was facing.
The young lady was clearly the one he loved.
So how does he choose?
As for whether they themselves will be rescued, Ke Wen suddenly felt that it was not very important at this moment. Because if Brando were to save them, he would have to take on a seventh challenge, but that was obviously impossible.
There is no hope, but it does not seem so hopeless.
