Act 87: Storm Convergence (1) (Fifth is more, please stay tuned)
Brando is indeed ready to play big once.
After a series of encounters at the Shavrund mine, silver brought vitality to the territory as if it were blood infused into a blood vessel.
At the same time, the benefits from the sanctuary of the rune dwarf have greatly exceeded everyone's imagination, and Brando soon found that he had enough energy to meet the greater challenge.
But it's not just the challenge-
Because challenges also symbolize opportunities, as if risks and benefits always coexist. At this time Brando set his sights on a farther north, he decided to give the nobles a louder voice.
A voice about the rise of emerging forces.
As part of the overall plan, this alien force must prove to this ancient kingdom as soon as possible, whether it is to warn the enemy-or to give confidence to potential allies.
Brando thought that his letter was almost in the hands of Princess Griffin.
Regardless of which reason, in short, with his consideration, the news of Sir Mintai's fiasco finally reached the earliest of Count Jeanne.
Of course, it also passed to the Wang Li Cavalry Academy at the same time, on the mahogany desk under the Princess Hall—
The half-elf princess's slender and thick eyelashes drooped slightly, sitting on a red velvet bench, looking at two reports on the desk—to be precise, a letter and a piece of information written on parchment— —Today she is wearing a well-tailored military uniform, but this special silver military uniform instead sets off the young girl's delicate and delicate exquisite curves, but only adds a seriousness and heroism to the soldiers in this weakness——
Griffin didn't speak, and her pale silver eyes blinked occasionally. After a while, she tapped her finger on the table, and then she recovered from this rare state of full concentration.
She looked up.
Nymesis and Overwell are not here, and there is another group standing at the desk. In fact, she only recognized one of them—the princess nodded to the old man.
"teacher."
The old man wearing a scholar's robe was the court master Levy Woods. At this moment, instead of facing the pride of Brando, he saluted respectfully.
His Royal Highness the Princess is his most proud disciple, but also the hope of the revival of the Wang Dang. Although he has absolute authority in imparting knowledge, at this time-he must show the courtesy that his courtiers deserve.
"your Highness."
Griffin smiled slightly, her eyes glanced at the others. She hadn't seen these people, but recognized each other's identity one by one.
The only young man was in good spirits, but was a little overwhelmed, and this was Aiko.
The middle-aged man standing quietly beside the young man, despite being weather-beaten, still maintained the aristocratic temperament—the half-elf girl remembered that she had seen the other side when she was very young, and she thought it should be Makaro.
Foxy Macaroo.
Once the leader of the Wang Dang.
Then beside him, his palms are slender, and at first glance he is a man who exercises swordsmanship for a long time. Griffin smiled slightly. This was Crossman Buga.
The last one, without a doubt, is the unique nobleman who is rumored to behave differently from Earl Violet. Although the half-elf princess has not seen Baal, she has also heard the name of the other party.
Her eyes stayed on these four people one by one. With clues from previous reports and her meticulous observation ability, she did not recognize these famous guests without Le Woods' introduction.
The son of Grand Duke Lantoniland, the heir to this generation of the Cross Sword, the former leader of the Wang Dang, and the Count Baal known as the cunning fox of this generation.
These people are indeed famous.
Especially the youngest Eco.
Although Lantoniland was only a small duchy on the border between Ampelsel and Antik, in the current situation, the support of Archduke Lun was of vital importance to Her Royal Highness.
Fortunately, Grand Duke Lantoni and Grand Duke Alek have always been at odds with each other, and this disagreement has already risen to hatred.
Griffin's gaze stayed on Aiko's face for more than a second.
This special treatment blushed the young man. He has not adapted from his past identity. Anyone suddenly jumped from an unknown mercenary with a domicile and became a prominent nobleman. Feeling wrong.
Besides, he did not expect that the rumored princess was so beautiful.
As a semi-elf, known as the most brilliant jewel in the crown of Eruin-there is a special beauty in the temperament of Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin-as if with a kind of indifference, but Has human affinity.
The combination of two opposite temperaments makes it easy for someone who sees her for the first time.
Although young, he has the potential to become a nation-wide leader.
"Mr. Eco," the half-elf girl said, "and Makaluo Qing, Earl Baal, Mr. Buga, and I'm glad you can come here to support the Corcova royal family at this time-"
She spoke out a few bits of identity, apparently surprised a few people.
But only Makaro was a little happy. His Royal Highness was as good as rumored in his opinion. The succession of the Corcova royal family made him feel that hope was not so slim.
This cunning fox has always believed that the role of man is the greatest, but human heart is as important as manpower. Wang's eldest son, ***, is advancing and is not pleased by him. Now seeing Her Royal Highness, he felt relieved a lot.
But I don't know why, at this time, Makaro suddenly thought of another young man.
He quickly shook his head to get the experience out of memory.
The Count Violet stood still. He looked at the two reports on the princess's desk from a distance. He had no interest in the polite words of His Royal Highness. Ascertaining their identity was not difficult. If Princess Griffin couldn't even do that, it would be too sorry for the rumors about her.
On the contrary, he was very interested in how His Royal Highness looked so fascinated by those two reports. He was as good as His Royal Highness, and it was hard to reveal his feelings, but when they came in just now, the Princess was almost holding the cheek to read the two reports.
He looked a little while smiling.
Count Baal bet that her Royal Highness must not even realize that she was laughing.
interesting!
The alternative among the nobles said to himself in his heart.
However, he did not rush to speak, although he was eclectic, but he was not a gimmick. At this time the scene was unable to speak to him. He looked at LeWoods, and sure enough the old man had already spoken:
"His Royal Highness, please don't say that, the old minister is actually a little later than expected," Levitz replied, "because I encountered some delays on the road-" He looked up and asked, "His Highness Princess, What's the situation? "
"Overcast."
Princess Griffin glanced out the window and used a simple and appropriate word to describe the movement of the northern dukes' coalition forces-
"Their lobbyists have entered Ampelsel, and it looks like they are almost ready to persuade the greedy merchants."
"Isn't there a plan for countermeasures?" Makaro asked.
Everyone glanced at him, but his experience of more than ten years abroad still changed the old sly fox. He became a lot more practical and no longer followed the rules in the aristocratic circle.
Because under normal circumstances, it is not his turn to speak.
But for this, Griffin's silver eyes lightened slightly. Unlike other people, Her Royal Highness appreciated such talents more.
"I have called on Princess Magdale, and you know that she has a lot of friends and has a close relationship with the temple, maybe she can turn the situation around," the half-elf girl answered.
"Is that the nun princess?" LeWoods asked tentatively.
The half-elf girl nodded.
"Are there any plans to protect it?" Asked Marcaroma: "At this stage of the struggle, almost all the actions of the enemy and us have been transparent. As soon as Princess Magdale leaves this place, I am afraid that she will be intercepted-"
Griffin admired even more, and she smiled slightly.
"Naturally, Nimesis will lead the team."
Buga raised an eyebrow. Nimesis was the daughter of Mrs. Miller and had a relationship with Grand Duke Lun. And he had seen the other party once a long time ago. At that time, the other party was still a little girl, but her sword talent was already stunning.
He must have thought so many years have passed, and the other party should also grow into an excellent swordsman.
Bugatti knew Nimesis, and Macaroo was no exception. He heard the name, apparently relieved, but still said: "Although Mrs. Miller's daughter is outstanding, but she is still a college student, I think that Her Royal Highness Princess you need a more sophisticated leader-"
Princess Griffin nodded: "That's why I didn't let them go right away, but I was waiting for you."
Macaro paused in surprise.
He and Buga glanced at each other, admiring the princess's leak-free arrangement. Bugatti immediately stepped forward, and pressed with one hand on the sword and replied, "Be careful."
The half-elf girl nodded.
The room was silent, and although there was another secret agreement between Grand Duke Lun and the Royal Family of Corkova, it was obviously inappropriate to speak at this time.
But everyone felt as if there was nothing to talk about other than this--
The pressure in the north is getting more and more intense. Although everyone looks normal as usual, they still feel a little urgency in their hearts, so naturally they have no mood to talk about some anecdotes between the nobles.
But the half-elf princess let go a little, and she smiled slightly at her guests: "Sit down, how about something easier? I have heard some bad news every day-"
"Tell me about some of the fun things you're doing on the road. I remember correctly, Mr. Aike seems to have been a mercenary? This is a unique and amazing experience among our nobles-" Princess Griffin When he said that, he took a look at Makaro and obviously exaggerated the other side.
"In addition, I remember Teacher Leuzi, you have always been on time. This time, obviously, you have not encountered any minor troubles. Can you speak?
She asked in a relaxed tone.
Aike is now in a state of wandering, where there is any ability to answer the princess's words, he can only speak indifferently. It was Master Lewoods who spoke first:
"That's it, Her Royal Highness, we did have a little trouble--"
"Speaking of it, it's also related to Golden Apple!"
Golden apple.
The half-elf girl felt a sudden jump in her heart, and her attention suddenly concentrated. This subtle change in the expression of Her Royal Highness has concealed almost everyone, but only Count Baal has taken it into view.
The distinctive aristocrat raised an eyebrow.
...
(***. Hey man, don't tell me you don't believe this is true, the bigger surprise is still behind. However, it looks like your support is weak.)
