Act 297 News from the North
With the precious auction items being taken away, the auction will gradually come to an end. Brando photographed a piece of fine gold worth 300,000 Thor during this time. This is one of the main materials of the full steel armor. This piece of gold plus the relics of the White Knight Alberton and Amman's life savings In part, he could soon start working on making this armor. The nun princess Magdale also took a symbolic picture of a silver ornament from the Wind Elves and gave it to Antitina as a gift.
The final piece of the auction was a round shield passed down from the time of the Cruz Empire's Carnoff dynasty, but the minds of the two were completely absent, and the situation of Ampersel's dark wave submergence was really uneasy. Brando and His Royal Highness Princess Antobruo soon reached a final agreement, then they left the box early.
Magdal will return to the temple immediately to avoid suspicion. After that, she will find a way to find out the true intention of the temple of the flame. What's wrong between the new high priest of Meros and the nobles of Eruin? Work.
Brando was quite satisfied with the meeting. Although he didn't get much information, at least he had a solid ally inside the temple and also understood the attitude of the Cruzs. Brando has great confidence in Princess Magdale's quality. In another history, she is known for her integrity and even known as 'the soul is more than external'. You must know that Princess Magdale is not ugly. Her beauty is not inferior to Griffin, a half-elf, known as the 'Queen Ain Ess' of the human race (the elven queen who was active in the era after the Battle of the Holy One, known for her beauty).
Brando asked Antitina to settle the auction proceeds with the auctioneer and help him capture the gold he had taken, but he left the auction venue and stopped a carriage at the door, saying, "74 Scorpion Street!" Quickly left St. Pinot Square and walked through a winding alley-even in a bustling trading port like Ampelsel, there were slums under the floating gold, and the carriage stopped in a shed in the suburbs. Next, the houses in this area had already been bought by Sue, Brando went straight to a house that was backed by Ampel Bay, and as soon as he reached the door, the grey wooden door opened with a squeak.
A feminine face appeared behind her, but her chin and ears had fins, and her skin looked like jade. She looked at Brando with a pale yellow pupil with a wary look. "Lendez, hello." Brando smiled a little. This is a female Shingle Naga named Lendes. Lendes nodded, and then walked away and let Brando enter.
"Master Lord." There were also two male Shem Nagars in the room, one of them was Sani. It suffered some injuries in battles with other races a few days ago, and was unable to return to the battlefield for a short time, so it was sent to serve as the liaison officer for Tonigel's new Lord Lord. Now Brando is already the most important 'friend' of Seminaga. It is one aspect to heal Her Royal Highness with Holy Water One, but the main reason is that the shrewd Queen Hanlu values the potential strength of Brando more. ——A person who can take out holy water No. 1 casually will not be too much in the human world.
But it wasn't these Naga who spoke first, but Su, who was standing behind them. The hotel owner's daughter looked worried, as if something extraordinary had happened: "Master, something has happened."
"Well?" Brando froze slightly, thinking that he could only leave for a few hours. What could happen during this time, could His Royal Highness Princess Griffin be under house arrest? "What's going on? Is something wrong with the princess?" He asked, frowning.
Su shook her head and pulled out a letter. Brando took a look at the letter and his face immediately became weird. Before, he had always asked Su to find a way to collect news from the north to confirm what exactly changed the attitude of the Temple of Fire, and this letter was written with such a message-it said that Toquinin's gold The Mane Lions had already been cleared three days ago, and the Earth Temple had already mobilized for war half a month ago. That is to say, the Earth Temple was completely different from the history and the war was launched about three months in advance. The reason is because ... well, the Earth Temple requested the Temple of Fire, and the Eruin Kingdom returned their long-lost Holy Sword ... Harangya, the sword of the earth.
"..."
"Ha ..." Brando held the paper, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He wanted to break his head and didn't know why the temple would change his attitude towards the royal family of Eruin, but he did not expect that the reason was so simple, just because the earth temple had launched a war in advance. After all, it was because of him.
"How did the news come in?"
"It was a message from an informant I arranged to the north. The letter was sent in through Naga. Now Ampercer has blocked the way in and out due to the monsoon season, and the outside news cannot come in at all." The tanned girl replied in an orderly manner.
Brando glanced at Sani, thinking that this letter was brought in by this guy.
"Is the person who got the news reliable?"
"Unreliable. It's just a matter of taking money, but passing the message should be enough."
Brando nodded, and the news of the Lions' early war should be well known in the north, but it was only at the moment that Ampereel, who had been blocked, had not heard the wind.
This is a serious situation. The war between the Temple of Fire and the Temple of the Earth is only an episode in the end history of Eruin, but it is not the case for the Cruzians. The influence of this holy war among the players of the Cruz Empire No less powerful than the Black Rose war for Eruin, and even more so for the Cruzs. This is a religious war. The Temple of Yan will surely go all out, and even more so as an outpost battle of the Eruin War. It seems that the Temple of Yan must make up its mind to maintain stability.
Even by using tough means--
This is great news for the nobles of the North, but bad news for Princess Brando. "Master, what shall we do now?" The hotel owner's daughter did not know the nuances, but also knew that this was not good news. At least she heard about the changes in the temple's attitude since recent times.
"Presumably, Her Royal Highness has been placed under house arrest, and now the Temple of Fire will definitely not allow her to leave Ampelsel. They will persuade Annek to make a statement. The next time the aristocracy and the royal party are in danger," Brando thought. a bit. The Wang Dang should also get the news at this time. Maybe it is earlier than him. The Wang Dang will have more informants in the north. Although they do not have Naga, they must also have the means to spread the information to Ampersel. But even if Anlek also dies, Her Royal Highness Princess should now fall into the Jedi, and it is even a question of whether she can leave safely.
He suddenly turned back and asked, "What about Roman?"
"Miss Romain has gone to the trade zone. There are a lot of chambers of commerce with which we have relationships in Ampelsel. She said that she would go to contact the leaders of these chambers of commerce. The war is about to erupt and the market will inevitably fluctuate. So it affects the livelihood of the territory. "Su seemed to be about to talk about it.
"She's alone?" Brando frowned, knowing that the big businessmen were bright-skinned, and didn't look good in his back.
"Qian went together too." Su glanced at him and replied.
Brando nodded, and after being given the blood of Dragon, Akane now has almost the golden peak strength. She is not even an opponent in terms of strength. If she is on the side, the safety of Miss Merchant can be assured. "Let them stop going when they come back, and let everyone back out of the hotel and concentrate here."
Su nodded and frowned slightly. Is the situation already tense to this point? She knows part of Brando's plan, so that everyone can gather to show that the situation of the aristocracy and the meeting is irreparable, and then armed intervention is needed. But to be honest, Tonigel's power is also insignificant on this huge chess game.
"Sue, do you have any questions?"
"I have no problem." Su shook his head and threw a trace of unhappiness in his heart.
Brando was suddenly silent, he suddenly thought that it was actually selfish to bring these people into the whirlpool of this political struggle. Sue is the daughter of the hotel owner. Roman wanted to be a big businessman in his dreams. Freya wanted to help the residents of Butch. Akane was only wholeheartedly trying to get the recognition of others. There are veterans of the Red Copper Dragon, Toniger. The fate of the young people, Wang Dang and Princess Griffin did not have much to do with them. They are here now, but because of an idea.
Why did they pay so much for the rise and fall of the royal family and to change the fate of a princess, even the price of life. Unlike the deeply ingrained prejudices of the Wang Dang and the nobles, there is no distinction between man and man in Brando's view, and even the life of His Royal Highness is not necessarily higher than that of a beggar.
Princess Griffin's weight in his mind is more important not because she will become Her Royal Highness Princess Regent in the future, but because he cannot forget the precious memories of the past. The days when thousands of people with the same faith fought side by side, but this memory does not exist for others, not even Freya.
His purpose was originally selfish, but there were things he had to do because he knew the consequences.
"Sue, do you believe me?" Brando suddenly asked.
The dark-skinned girl looked up at him doubtfully.
"What we do now may not be successful, but it will be right. If we do, we may fail, but we will not succeed if we do not. Nobles cannot save Eruin, but there is no tranquility for a moment of peace Life. "Brando remembered the Second Black Rose War that was bound to happen in the future. The kingdom was burning in the midst of the war, and Eruin could not be saved by moderate reforms.
If he does not let go, history will repeat itself sooner or later.
Su lowered her eyelids: "I don't understand, but Miss Freya chooses to believe in you, Lord Lord. You can only lie to yourself by burying your head in the sand. Lord Lord wants to say this, right," she smiled: "I don't really have anything to do with it The opinion of the father is my opinion. He chose to believe in you, Lord, not because of the reason, but because you have never failed before. "
"Everything ends here. If you succeed, you can go on, does that mean?" It does seem to be the case. He only has one chance and cannot choose. If he cannot succeed, then he must fail at least once. Because even if you do n’t do it, you fail.
He nodded and relieved.
He looked back: "Sani, then I will ask you to help attack the port according to the plan. I will provide you with the location and deployment details of the warehouses of the Dockyard Chamber of Commerce and the Ampersel Navy. The looted goods can be used as all Your spoils of war ... but if possible, try to minimize civilian casualties. "
"We are not bloodthirsty thugs." Sani snorted angrily: "With detailed defense, we will try to avoid civilians, but the map you gave us is no problem? The layout and defense of Ampelsel It's all in the hands of the Temple of Fire, can you get it? "
Brando smiled mysteriously. Of course, he couldn't get it, and he didn't need it. For decades in another history, he already knew the layout and fortifications of Ampelsel. "Don't worry, there won't be too many navies staying at the docks that day, and I will create the conditions for you." Apart from the few warships of the Port Authority, Ampelsel ’s navy is mainly monks in the temple. Brando at least Confident to lead those monks away.
Besides, a sea storm is approaching. The temple would never think that the attack would come from the sea.
"By the way," he suddenly thought of one thing: "Trouble you to use the Sea Whale again." He mainly wanted to use the Sea Whale to cover the retreat. The Port Authority still had several warships, and the Sea Whale was suppressed. The special effects of the storm, when retreating from the sea, just passed through the storm-torn waters, Brando did not want to escape from Ampelsel and buried the fish belly.
Sani hesitated, and finally nodded. Brando had a great deal of favor with the Shinescale family, and this time it was a favor. In addition, Seminaga lost a lot in the Western Sea War, and Brando proposed to create an opportunity for them to plunder the warehouses of the Ampersel Naval and Chamber of Commerce. Ampersel is the largest trading port in Eruin and the entire southern border. If this time can be copied to the bottom of the Ampersel navy, Seminaga's losses in this war can almost be recovered.
"Thank you so much." Brando was really a little surprised now. The relationship with Shinescale Naga was just an unintentional move on the way to Ampelsel this time. I didn't expect that the inadvertent move would become this. The most important part of the success of an Ampercel trip.
"Mutual benefit and reciprocity." Saniyi is still the same as the history of history, a fluttering sentence to write off Brando's love, if the wise Queen Hanlu knows that he must be punished to work in the abyss.
Then Brando decided to see the half-elf girl again.
