Brahman's Diary:

September 155 of Aisha, Raven's Week, Saturday.

I collected some more sour fruits. Except for what he kept to eat and give to Ellie, the rest was taken by Mr. Maruk.

Mr. Maruk took good care of me, and often gave me bread that was not sold in the shop—in fact, I knew that it was not unsold at all, but that Mr. Maruk had kept it for me.

I once asked Mr. Maruk, and Mr. Maruk only said that he had received a favor from his father.

I don't know why, I only have a few memories of my father for the last few years, and it seems that something has happened to my memory.

I vaguely remember that I felt like I had fallen from a great height and hit my head. I think my incomplete memory must have something to do with that incident.

I told Elle about it because I remember Elle being there when I fell. That's right, Elle also fell.

It was ridiculous to talk to a cat, but I think Elle could understand what I was saying. In fact, it was true, when Elle thought about it seriously and shook her paws, indicating that she didn't remember any details, and then Elle jumped on the shelf and dozed off.

Still, it's better for me not to worry about these details. My father was a brilliant alchemist, and I think he would be able to find a way to regain my memories and that of Ellie. I suspect that my father must have left this time to find new alchemy materials, and he will definitely come back after a while.

Mr. Maruk agrees with my conjecture. According to Mr. Maruk, he used to be a mercenary - until he was struck by a sword.

Mr. Maruk said he had been seriously injured and was terminally ill. He had retained his sanity and memory for a few minutes after his injury. Mr. Maruk was reluctant to say more details, and it was clear from his sad look that it was definitely not a good memory.

Mr. Maruk only told me that while he was in a coma from his injuries, his father saved him with his miraculous alchemy, and not only healed his wounds, but also cured him of his illness.

Unfortunately, Mr. Maruk was able to save his life, but he was no longer able to become a mercenary. Mr. Maruk once mentioned that he had like-minded companions, but he always smiled with joy, then wept and waved his hand, saying only that he had lived in this village since he had recovered, and had traveled as far as the larger towns to buy goods. As for why he didn't look for his past friends, he sadly said that the good guys were probably dead.

"I'm all wrong, I'm sorry, everyone." That was the last thing he said on the matter.

"So, Violeta." Old Griffin Hart poured Violetta a cup of tea. "Your opinion is that we should join forces with the Running Wolves to attack the executioner?"

Violetta didn't answer immediately, but lifted the teacup from the tray and took an elegant sip.

"Don't sell it, Violeta." Old Griffinhardt tapped the table twice, and the table made a dull "thump" twice.

"My lord, that's not what I meant." Violetta said slowly.

"So, tell me, Violeta, what bad ideas do you have again?"

"Oh, sir, look at what you're saying, the word 'bad idea' doesn't sound like a good word for a lady." Violetta said unhappily.

"Alright, alright, even if I'm not using the right words. But, Violeta, can you change your personality? No wonder Donavan kid married the Vance girl instead of you. ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Oh, okay, well, we don't talk about your marriage, we don't talk about your marriage, hey... Let us know what you think. Old Griffin Hart said helplessly. Sometimes she mourns for Violetta as a good witch, but she is not willing to marry and have children and leave good offspring, which is not in the interest of old Griffinhardt.

But it can't be helped, Violetta only likes Michael Donavan. As for the people on the side, Violetta is resolutely not married. As a wonderful witch, Violetta has the capital and the confidence - even the lord she is loyal to cannot force her to marry someone she does not want to marry.

However, this seems to have become a dead knot. "What the hell is that little bitch like Lena Vance that can hook up with my favorite man?" Violetta often thinks so.

However, what she didn't actually think about was that Michael never expressed a liking for Violeta. Yes, they did have a good relationship when they were still in school, but that's all there is to it. Michael never thought about falling in love or marrying Violetta - he thought Violetta could be a good friend, but, as a wife, Violetta clearly had a bad stomach.

When he was still at the Holy Falcon Empire Wizarding Academy, the two naughty students that Principal Tesla had the most trouble with were Violetta and Michael. The two of them did bad things and mischievous things including, but were not limited to: putting 'stinky roots' in the teacher's water glasses, cursing their classmates to make their front teeth grow like ice-toothed dragons, setting off magical fireworks in the classroom, turning the potion cultivation flower beds upside down, causing 'mandrake' and 'flaming aconitum to scream' and malnutrition, adding 'nitrified mushrooms' to the feed of the young sheep Kukuku, causing the sheep Kukuku's stomach, etc.

However, although the two men were duly punished, they were not expelled. It's really because these two people are amazing, and the teachers have learned a lesson at most. This is one of the reasons why these two troublemakers dare to do evil.

"My lord, my opinion is not to unite the Zamir Territory. Balance is important, sir. You know that I have studied the language of the Qin'a Empire, and I have also read the secret scrolls of the famous generals of Qin'a. Therefore, to summarize it in a few Qin A sayings, we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then the snipe and clam compete for the fisherman's profit. We stationed soldiers on the border to prepare for war in advance. On the one hand, the executioners continued to paralyze their judgment by giving them soft and gifts, telling them not to come against us—I believe you have this in mind when you feigned illness; On the other hand, we pretended to agree to their alliance plan, but in fact we did not move. ”

Old Griffin Hart touched his chin and asked, "So what good do we get by doing this?" Violeta? ”

"My lord, my specific strategy is that if the executioner sharply breaks through the wolf barrier, we will quickly send troops to help, on the one hand, cut off the executioner's supply line and annihilate his troops, and on the other hand, attack the blood farm. In this way, we can take the Blood Farm without much effort, and we can be regarded as fulfilling the alliance promise to the running wolf. If the executioner is attacked by the wolf, we will immediately unite with the executioner, and our army will quickly attack the logging fortress and cut off the wolf's supply line, so that the Mist Forest will be ours. ”

Violetta paused and continued, "In this way, no matter which method we choose, we can guarantee at least one new territory, and by the way, weaken the strength of the executioner and the wolf at the same time, so that our power is the strongest of the three. ”

"It can't be counted like this, Zamir is rich in resources, has a large population, replenishes troops very quickly, has good law and order, the people are united, and Slava has a strong appeal and command; Although the population of Tangenis is small, the executioner has always advocated violent rule, there will be no people in the war, and some strategies can be implemented without scruples about territorial riots, and the executioner's legion is also the strongest in the Holy Falcon Empire, and the number of troops is as many as 13,000 - this is the total number of troops of the Griffon Territory and the Zhammir Territory combined, the Zmir army is only about 6,000 people, and the Griffon Territory is only 7,000 people. Griffin Hart Sr. said.

"So we need to weaken the executioner a little more, but that's about it." Violetta replied.

"Honestly, Violeta, compared to Bappd's war-only brain, I'm a little tempted by your proposal. It's been a privilege to have your allegiance, and I'm glad to see that you're able to think in the big picture. ”

Violetta stood up and saluted, saying, "No, my lordship, it is my honor to be loyal to you. ”
