Act 52 The King of the Underground (3) (First)
Brando froze when he saw the crystal tears falling from Akane's face:
"what happened?"
But the young girl let the tears fall down like she didn't hear it, and it took a while to react. She sucked her nose to stop the collapsed emotions, and finally realized her gaffe, her cheeks became hot and red for a while.
"Nothing, because, because it hurts so much ..." Qian didn't overdo it, and reluctantly replied, "Master Lord ..."
Brando's heart burst into tears, thinking that this excuse might be a little too poor—is it like crying because it's too painful? It is better to say that it is more appropriate to cover up the already panic!
He wasn't a fool, and had already guessed what the girl thought. Although he didn't know how Akane thought of the other members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Corps, Makaro, and himself, he could see that the apparent taciturn could not conceal the girl's escape from all the past.
Instead of accepting everything that exists, she is still stuck in the memories of the past-she seems to have an instinctive fear and distrust of the external world-if you leave everything you are familiar with, you will be a kind of Surrounded by a huge sense of isolation.
Brando doesn't know exactly what Akane has experienced in the past, but he knows that the behavior of ‘Maned Wolf’ Macaroo must have caused tremendous damage to the girl.
"Can you stand up?" He asked, thinking aside.
Akane nodded weakly, but she tried a few times, even though holding Brando's hand, but the severe pain made her sobbed and knelt down.
Brando couldn't bear to see the red-haired girl crying and clenching her teeth. Although it's not that she hasn't seen a woman cry, but Qian Qian's strong eyes make him more admired than those Qian Jin ladies who are always in the game.
Besides, he's a man.
"Don't hold on anymore, let me carry you!" Brando said.
They can't stay here too long, although they don't know what happened to Kuran and Metisha who were sealed on the other side. However, if the old man was returned to the surface before them, their operation would be a complete failure.
So you have to race against time.
"So how ... OK?"
Akane froze, but how could any lord do such a thing? Maybe Macaroo would do this, but she now knew it was to buy people's hearts-just as the head of the group hadn't heard her at all-she didn't understand why, no matter how good she did Nor could he get as much attention as Aiko.
But then she finally realized that even buying people's hearts also needs to be bought. Of course Akane won't be jealous of the one she loves, but she can't help but feel disappointed.
A guy who doesn't even have silver power might not be as good as Reddy in the minds of the head of the group. The red-haired girl couldn't help thinking of the young man whose white hair had been killed by Brando.
But what is this young Lord Lord for?
She has no power now, and she has no reputation among the rest of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Regiment. She is not as good as Sandford. If the lord spied on her body, she also thought that she was not as beautiful as the merchant lady who had been declared to the outside world as Brando's fiancee.
Brando was only limited to little intimacy on his limbs, let alone himself.
"No need ..." She thought for a moment and shook her head vigorously: "Master Lord, you go first, wait until you control the mining area, then come and save me ..."
She paused and said hesitantly: "I'm a mercenary, and I won't be too scared by one person. You can leave me a lighting crystal for most, most adults ..."
Brando watched with sorrow and anxiety on Akane's face, wondering if it would be a problem to find the way out, but even if luck was all that went well, at least a few hours after coming back. Not to mention that there is no danger in leaving a girl without defense ability here, the most important thing is that he may be in danger of being deified as soon as he is away from Akane.
But he thought for a moment, instead of speaking straight, he responded politely: "You have lost too much blood, and it would be dangerous to stay here."
"It's okay," the red-haired girl shook her head. "This is also the will of Master Martha. Besides, it is not necessary for you to bring a drag--"
She paused, her voice softened: "Thank you, Lord Lord, if you don't want to leave Akane, that's enough ..."
The girl took a breath, and suddenly smiled with a little effort: "So ... I can't be so selfish, either?"
Brando was so frightened when he heard this.
He looked at Qian's beautiful pair of amber eyes—even a mist of water inside, but in the end it was still dim and dull, and suddenly he understood.
Such an excellent girl would not have suffered such a fate if she was in the age of stability in Warnd—
But is there a way for Warnd to settle down?
The Amber Sword set this world as a contentious, turbulent world, because a game needs a *** environment to compose an epic chapter, but what is an epic? For this world, nothing but the earth was burned by flames, bones piled up, and blood flowed into the river.
On the borders of civilization, which is constantly being eroded, Warnd is increasingly frequent. On the one hand, human beings become more collective because of the need for survival, but on the other hand they become more utilitarian and practical.
The consequence is that the existence of the individual becomes trivial.
The warmth between people has long disappeared, and the whole society was filled with a cold taste, cold and efficient.
Although in Eruin, more and more resistance was caused because the incompetent aristocracy controlled the power of the country, but this resistance was not intended to overthrow the world's system. In the final analysis, it is because the people at the bottom generally doubt the legitimacy of the ruler—this legitimacy has nothing to do with descent and origin. The only criterion for judgment is power.
The strong are respected, and the weak seem to deserve to survive.
As a modern man, Brando did not object to the former, but he did not agree with the latter.
It's as if he knew that Akane's story is not an example in this world-there are thousands of Akane here-it's like there are thousands of Funia, if not him, that one It is estimated that the little girl in Green Village will not go there better than the red-haired girl in front of her.
Is not it?
Even more, there are far more unfortunate people in this world than they are.
He was powerless to change all this, which was different from changing the fate of the kingdom of Eruin. It is a resistance to the will of the world itself, which not only represents the power of a huge society, but also the natural laws that form this power itself.
After all, this is a different world from the earth.
Brando's selfish desire is to save the kingdom, and whether it will hurt more people because of this desire-these people may come from other countries in the world, whether Madara, Cruz-or Even the oppression of the kingdom itself was the same, he didn't think much.
Brando only hoped that those who he knew, His Royal Highness, the Valkyrie, and many more who dedicated their lives to this kingdom, would not repeat the tragedy that happened to them.
Rewriting history, nothing more.
When a tragedy like Akane happened to him, he didn't think he could turn a blind eye.
So after Brando listened to the girl, he shook his head slightly after a moment's surprise: "You think too much, am I so incompetent?"
"But ..." Akane was still hesitating.
"An excellent team leader will not leave any of his team members—" Brando felt that at this time he should say something similar to this looks very handsome, he remembered this sentence or the sister to the team Tell him when it is handed to him.
However, he found that he opened his mouth and said that he couldn't take it seriously. In the end, he shook his head and made a bad joke: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you by taking the opportunity."
But Brando was about to cry after he said this, and felt that he had lost all of his face.
Qian couldn't get there as well, she blushed completely and quickly shook her head: "Of course not, just ..."
"It's just nothing." Brando felt that he was going to be insane when he went on. He simply copied Qian with two hands without saying a word, uttering a scream in disregard for the latter.
Akane was alone.
She never dreamed that Brando would come hard, and thought in a mess: "He, he, he just said that he would not take advantage of me!" But the girl immediately bowed her head like a ostrich and buried it in her chest. Earlier, his ears were red with a pounding heart, and he couldn't say a word.
Does she think this is the legendary princess hug?
When she was in the mercenary regiment, she had thought more than once whether Aiko would hold herself towards the temple one day in the future, but this little hope became a beautiful fantasy long after Yura appeared. That's it.
But this red-haired girl would never think that someday someone would really hold herself like this. It's just that this person is not the one she imagined, and the dark mine tunnels around it seem a little too weird.
But when she rested her head on Brando's chest like an ostrich, she felt a sense of stability, though her heartbeat was terrible.
"Lord Lord is different from most people I have ever seen," she thought. "It is not the same as Aiko. By his side, there is a weird reassurance and trust. This feeling must be Antitina It's the same, so is Miss Roman, you can experience it ... "
Suddenly, she suddenly understood why more and more people had gathered around Brando in just a few months, although this had nothing to do with the young man's personal ability. But in Warnd, he had a background and There are many people with ability.
But today she finally found the reason.
She ‘cut’ softly, thinking that she could be lucky to follow such a lord, and it seemed that Master Martha had not completely abandoned herself.
The prospect of losing power still made her feel a little dim. Akane knew that she was not a genius. It might not be that simple to find that power again.
However, she shook her head to let go of the idea. Let's go for a day and a day, Brando's every move has made her completely relieved.
But when the girl thinks so, she doesn't know that she may only have a few days or even hours of life.
...
