Just to the west of Rusta, a corner of the open Great Hassel Plain can already be seen. Under the vast night, the dark sky merges with the horizon, and the stars reflect as if there is no end.
Brando's team stayed in a grove of trees. There was a farm nearby. Starry lights came through the forest shadows. The south edge of the woods was located on a small open highland. From here to the Looking south, more than ten miles southwest is Sandberg, and the shiny marginal line of Stroy Lake is clearly visible.
It has been half an hour since leaving the city.
The people who went out searching quickly walked back in despair.
"Did not find any witch?"
"No."
"Don't find Barbassa them?"
"No."
"Shall they come back?"
"nor."
Brando pursued them one by one, but all got disappointed answers. As a rule, if the witch succeeded, he should have waited here long ago.
And even if the other party lied, they should be here now.
But in fact, the news was that both people were silent.
Even Shire and Hipamila did n’t have any news, as if they were missing in the city. The existence of the Dai people disturbed the spiritual network near Rusta, and the latter even used the means to communicate with their own. All lost.
The situation is worse than expected. Although he knew that the plan might be various accidents, such development still made him unexpected.
Fortunately, everyone found Kou Hua who had stayed outside the city beforehand. When they hit the latter, the dark-haired girl was sitting barefoot on a huge white wolf, reflecting the bright Moonlight, like an elf in the forest.
"It looks like you're in trouble." Kou Hua, as always, expressed pleasure at Brando's bad mood. She used to like to find happiness in the pain of mortals. But now it ’s a lot less fun, or it ’s becoming picky, and it ’s changed to taste the pain of Brando alone.
But it doesn't look bad.
"Do you have any news about Babasha?" Brando frowned at the she-wolf.
"They left you a message and let me pass it to you, otherwise how can you find me?"
"Your sister is in my hands."
Kou Hua's good mood was suddenly lost, and his teeth whine. As if roaring in a low voice.
"Say, what did they say."
"Your woman is still in the hands of the Silver Queen, but the witch didn't lie to you, she was just removed beforehand."
"Our news leaked?"
"I'm not the only one around you with bad intentions." Kou Hua sneered: "Some people want you to be unlucky, of course, this is also counted as me."
"You mean Delphine?" Brando sank slightly. "Impossible, she didn't have a chance, and Metissa watched her."
"She didn't betray you, but she just needed to do nothing."
"What do you mean."
"dream."
Brando responded, and his strength reached their level. You can easily control your dreams, so the witches' magic spells are meaningless to strong-willed people, who only need to prevent themselves from entering the dreams easily.
With Delphin's ingenuity, she would not have thought of this, but she never proposed it, that is, when she was dreaming, the witches had invaded the cat and beard hotel more than once.
He and Metissia thought of arranging the old Kent to live outside the hotel, but forgot about it.
He was silent for a moment. Then they asked again, "Babasha, they only said this?"
"They went after your woman."
"how long?"
"I don't know," Kou Hua looked at him jokingly, "Hey. What are you going to do?"
Brando glanced at her coldly, without answering her question at all.
He returned to the crowd. The Cruz aristocrats were still very interested in Kou Hua, but since someone almost instructed the black wolf to break his arm, these people paid attention to the witch, and even could order her. Brando has a little more awe.
"What are you going to do?"
After Prime Minister Nederman heard Brando's statement. Asked exactly the same question.
Brando took a moment to realize that Delphine was the granddaughter of the big man, but the former was calm and low-key, with wisdom in words and deeds, and the latter was obviously too far behind. It's just as clever as it is amazing, but it's too daunting to reveal.
Sometimes it is simply an outrageous female lunatic, a bomb from time to time.
This kind of person is not just him, I am afraid that Her Majesty the Queen will not like it too much, the Supreme One will never tolerate the existence of such an unruly fellow within his power.
At this point, Delphine clearly appears far less visionary than her grandfather, and politics is the art of compromise, not the smart man's wrench.
I have to say that this lady once again created a rather bad mood for him. It is about seeing this that the empire's elderly prime minister will take the initiative to export and consult.
Because in the previous conversation, although the prime minister did not show any malicious intentions, if he did show a respectful attitude to him, it was obviously like a general recognition of a senior empire. In any case, the civil strife in the empire is also the empire's own affairs, and no outsider is allowed to intervene.
Not to mention a superficially humble man like Prime Minister Nederman, but he is extremely proud.
But in any case, it was Brando who helped the old guys, not to mention that the latter saved his granddaughter's life indirectly. Politicians of this era have not evolved to the point where they can rely on their accounts. He Stand up, not only to repay Brando's affection, but also to make up for the fault caused by his granddaughter.
Brando thought for a moment.
"I have to rescue Akane. If they don't chase people, then I have to enter the city again."
"That won't work," Veronica interrupted, before the others spoke. "You look down on Her Majesty, little fellow. Do you think your arrangements at the Hanlu Manor caught her by surprise? Watch now It's just that she's trying to come to you, and if you return to Rusta, you're throwing yourself into the net. "
Most of the other nobles present also showed different looks on their faces, but they almost expressed the same meaning. Obviously, they managed to escape from the imperial capital, and no one was willing to go back.
They escaped along the way. Fortunately, I did n’t encounter the dragon again, nor did she encounter the shepherds like Andesa in Sidney and Veronica's mouth, but this does not mean that I will be so lucky to enter the city again, let alone all the things along the way It is obvious to all that at this moment, the entire Rusta is probably in a mess.
Who would be in danger again?
Brando naturally understands this truth. For this action, he has already exhausted his hole cards, but there are still too many scenarios, especially after the dragon queen dared to ignore the threat of the dragons and appeared in Lu Shi swayed. tower. This was greatly unexpected.
If for the first time at Hanlu Manor, he still has 50% confidence, and now he is once again in the city. I am afraid that there is no hope of 10%.
This is almost a gambler's desperation.
But he had to make a choice.
Now it's not just Akane who's trapped in the city. There is no news from Shire, Modifis, Andrea, and Hipamila. He can't leave any of his men behind.
"teacher……"
Faina apparently saw the plight of the latter, and she could not bear to look at her teacher. In her opinion, Brando rescued these nobles in order to achieve this goal. The other party has paid so much, and they should be held accountable for it.
At least not to show such a disregard. It's chilling.
Veronica sighed and patted her student's shoulder gently: "But if you make a decision, no matter what the decision is, I will accompany you, little one."
Brando wasn't surprised Veronica could say so. He knew it was her Kendo, but he was very grateful anyway.
Since encountering the Lord Juggernaut, the other side has helped him no less than once, from the heart. He has even regarded the other person as a character like his elder.
Not to mention the inexplicable relationship between the other party and his teacher, Gray Sword Master Mephisto.
But what surprised him was that many of the Cruz nobles present also expressed the same meaning one after another, and he looked at these aristocratic nobles in surprise-in his impression, these people, even Faina It ’s okay to be a figure like your father and brother, but it ’s never been a good man. Black belly is almost the footnote of these nobles. When did these upper nobles become so good at speaking?
He couldn't help looking at the prime minister, Nederwin, who said nothing, just waiting for him to make a decision, but the big man had already expressed a certain attitude without saying a word.
"We are soldiers first, Mr. Earl." One of the nobles said to Brando, "At this moment we are on a boat, and as long as you make a decision, we obey the order."
Brando finally heard the underlying meaning of this sentence, the point was that ‘we are on the same boat’. Cruz ’s nobles were still astute, but in any case, he still felt something in his heart.
Finally did nothing for nothing-
"Thank you very much," he replied, "I understand what you mean. Please rest assured, I will not make a hasty decision, but I will not easily give up my purpose, and wait half an hour. If there is no news, I will re-enter the city. "
Brando glanced at everyone present.
"As for you, you can wait for me here, or spontaneously organize to go to the Metz area. I believe that for a long time to come, the Silver Queen will not be able to take any action to hunt you down."
What he said was not impulsive, but he knew that even bringing these people would have no effect. The roles played by these nobles in the battle would not add up to a Veronica, and it would be better to sell one. Humanity, he can only choose to stand by the eldest son in the power struggle within the empire, and once these people return to the territory, he will be a potential ally of the empire in the future.
Now he can only do so much for this ancient kingdom.
And the rest is his personal affairs.
The scene was silent.
Obviously, if you can die, no one will be willing to die. Brando's words touched all the aristocrats present. In the eyes of an upper empire aristocrat who could not be reached by the count of Tonigel, the Hulk lord from Eruin also became taller at this moment.
Suddenly they found out that there were such characters with the style of the ancient aristocracy outside the empire.
He is not afraid of danger, kindness, tolerance, and responds with the highest degree of loyalty of his subordinates. Such aristocracy seems to be seen only in the most shining times.
"Young man," Niddwin said slowly, "I'll go back with you."
Brando was stunned and almost thought he heard it wrong.
All Cruzs present were also stunned, and looked subconsciously at the former Prime Minister of the Empire.
What kind of big man is Prime Minister Nederman?
If you are not an Imperial, it is difficult to understand clearly. In the early decades, the Imperials called it our "Our Prime Minister". This is a proprietary title. There is no one except Old Nederman. You can enjoy it, even the most famous prime ministers of the empire.
He created the era when the empire's kingship was most concentrated and prosperous. He said that he was a hero, and he could be well deserved, that he was a power minister, and he could accept it.
In an era when the average political life of an imperial aristocracy was less than ten years, or exactly eight years, Prime Minister Nederwen was in this position for 53 years, even before the death of the previous emperor, he was still the latter. Best friend.
If there is a miracle in this world, then this is already a miracle.
His power extended to any corner of the empire, but in the end he almost completed the transfer of almost immortal soldiers. He safely stepped down from the altar and gave the Silver Queen and his eldest son, the eldest son, a prosperous empire. Enjoy old age.
If history is going in the direction that Brando knows, rather than becoming messy.
And would such a character be a nobleman who surged in blood and acted impulsively?
Obviously not.
Then the background of his speech is questionable, and even the nobles who have already made decisions appear to be a little shaken.
Only Sidney on the side saw this scene and frowned infrequently-this is not to say that the lady of the lion's shrine does not frown, but in fact any expression is less than her face As a result, this subtle look also seems a little rare.
Brando wasn't sure about this, but Sidney thought that this was the second time the old prime minister had offered to meet Her Majesty.
Does he really think he can persuade the supreme empire of his own empire?
This is obviously a false proposition.
The old prime minister can never be so naive. If he makes such a request once, it can be said that he cannot see the situation clearly, and if he makes mistakes repeatedly, then he is not Nederman.
Sidney couldn't help but look closely at the look on the old man's face, but unfortunately she didn't see any clues. Old Nederman didn't seem to plan to elaborate on this issue any more. He only said this. Then, others dare not ask.
Little Nevin, on the other hand, seemed a little overwhelmed, but was suppressed by his father's harsh eyes.
Brando happened to notice this detail.
But he didn't say much. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't dare to answer any sentence of the imperial prime minister easily, and only said, "Thank you very much, but in any case, we wait for half an hour first."
Not half an hour.
But in some specific time, it can be too long to be disturbing.
