Brando listened quietly to Test's story before he replied, "This is also your own doing. ”

But he was actually very surprised in his heart, only to know that the Lionheart Sword had such an experience before it came to Freya's hands, when he first met Master Beru under the fir castle, the Sage Slate suddenly resonated, and now he thinks that at that time, it should be that all things are one will activate the Lionheart Holy Sword. But they also take it for granted, the Knight of the Lake who guards the Lionheart Sword is the knight captain Clentel beside Ek, he has a strength that is not inferior to today's Mephistopheles before he became a heroic spirit, not to mention that after making a guardian oath under the entanglement of obsession, the will to fight will only become stronger, and Tester dares to challenge such a monster with just a golden rank, and it can indeed only be said that he is killing himself.

Otherwise, he would have known that the Lionheart Sword should be buried near the Lake of Mist, so why didn't he go straight to it instead of going to great lengths to get the Sage Slate?

However, when it comes to the legendary knight beside Ek, he suddenly remembers that the guy who follows Freya like a ghost has been appearing less and less recently, which seems to mean that Lionheart has fully recognized Freya as its master, and now only occasionally glimpses the knight in the courtyard of the fir castle, and the servants in the castle even regard this stunning knight as a haunted story in the castle.

Tester listened to Brando's evaluation, but did not refute it, and replied with a full of vicissitudes: "You are right, Lord Earl, it is indeed my own doing; Now I had forgotten even the original purpose of looking for the sword, and I just felt like a complete clown, and I had been following that person since I left the Lake of Mist, and I was in a daze, as if a voice in my heart prompted me to do so. Can't think. I couldn't rest, day and night, I could feel time flying away from me, but I couldn't resist, I felt like I was in an endless nightmare, wandering in a nightmare every moment. Like a lonely ghost, he is in agony. ”

"But now it seems like you're quite conscious, don't you?" Brando said, looking at him.

Tester nodded without denial: "Today, when I suddenly came to my senses, I felt that I was still near the Lionheart. ”

"Can you feel the Lionheart?" Bran was slightly taken aback.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"When I see you now, Lord Count, I know that the Lionheart is still near, but until then, I can only feel a strong calling, as if before me was a gray and decaying world, and there was only a pale path above the wilderness, and I could only follow that path. And then here it is. ”

"But it sounds like you're no stranger to what's going on in the outside world."

He was made an earl after the Battle of Ampesel, but from the tone of Test's voice, he should not have had much access to the outside world during this time.

"I don't know, but it seems like a situation around that sword will naturally come into my mind." Tester replied in a hoarse voice.

Brando raised an eyebrow, it sounded like something connected to the Lionheart, but it didn't sound like an endorsement, it sounded like some kind of curse. He suddenly remembered a legend that anyone who was not approved by this sword. Anyone who tries to touch this sacred sword will suffer doom. The last victim was His Majesty, the last emperor of the Sifah family, after which the Lionheart Sword disappeared until it reappeared today.

However, the other party's state is very similar to the nameless, the nameless are those who have lost their faith and lost themselves, he didn't expect the curse of the Lionheart Sword to have this effect. The members of the Society for the Oneness of All Things are a bunch of crazy people. But their faith is still very strong.

He looked at the other party again and asked puzzledly, "I guess you didn't just come to me to say this?" ”

"Naturally, Lord Count. I think there must be some reason why that voice brought me here today, and now I'm just looking for a relief. I don't want to live like the walking dead anymore. Tester replied tiredly.

"You don't seem to need to beg me for this kind of thing."

"Death does not solve the problem," sighed Viscount Test, who had been an unstoppable man, but now looked like a half-dead old man: "I have died many times, but it was like a dream, and after the dream disappeared, I woke up and appeared in another place. ”

"It does sound like life is worse than death." Brando nodded, he didn't have a good impression of the members of the One Society, and although he wasn't gloating, he didn't need to sympathize with them. He looked at the other party and continued to ask, "You said that you wanted to tell me some secrets about the past, and it seems that you wanted to use this to make a deal with me." ”

Tester nodded.

Brando pondered for a moment, to be honest, he cared a lot about the other party's secrets, but the problem now was that he was not good at curses, especially those related to the disgraced, which was a very dangerous thing in itself. When he was in the Death Frost Forest, he dared to enter the dream of the Nameless, because he knew something about the characteristics of that copy, but now to solve the trouble of this viscount, I am afraid that he has to enter the dream of the other party, as long as the other party has the slightest malice, this trip is a life of death.

If this viscount is someone else, they still say it, but he is a believer in the One Order. Brando, who was not yet great enough to take risks for an enemy, thought for a moment and refused: "To be honest, I don't want to deal with people like you, I can even extend a hand of friendship to the nobles I despise, and I can tolerate the arrogance of the Cruzians, but I don't want to be associated with the One Everything." ”

"Yes, we are notorious." Tester replied weakly, his brow furrowed, and his tone became a little anxious: "I understand this, too, it may be a little difficult for you to accept, my lord, but—"

"No," Brando interrupted him with a shake of his head, "not for that reason, it's because you're crazy. ”

"Crazy? No, my lord, some of us are in pursuit of truth, some of us are in pursuit of power, but not necessarily more despicable than those you deal with. Test's tone was weak, but when he said this. There was still a hint of contempt.

"The meanness of seeking one's own interests, while despicable, at least does not disturb people." Brando replied, "Nobody wants to deal with madmen. ”

"Don't play dumb riddles with me, Lord Count, I know you're interested in the secrets of my mouth......" Test, as if he could tell that Brando was just perfunctory to him, couldn't help but interrupt the latter anxiously. Say loudly: "Why not give me a chance, give us all a chance, my secret will satisfy you!" Lord Earl, it is about the safety of one of your subordinates, a lady close to you! ”

Brando's heart jumped as he looked at the half-dead fellow, the first thing he thought of was Akane, the mountain girl had been missing for a while, and Fir Collar and Lantonylan had sent out almost all the scouts and eyeliner but had not found any trace of each other. He even asked the Buga people for help, because it was related to the Azure Spear, and the latter readily agreed, but so far there has been no news.

He looked at the other party and asked coldly, "What did you say?" ”

Viscount Tester grabbed the rusty iron fence and glared at Brando, his face pale like a ghost. He stood there for a few moments. As if hesitating to say what he knew, he didn't know if Brando would lie to him. But an obvious anxiety had already spread between his expressions: "I don't have much time, Lord Earl, you and I have no grievances in the past, maybe there was a small misunderstanding at that time, but you and I don't need to take that kind of little thing to heart, I believe in your character." As long as you give me a promise, I will tell you that secret. ”

"Do you have room to bargain like this, Viscount Test?" Brando took in Test's expression, and although he was a little curious about what could torture this arrogant viscount, all his thoughts fell on the mountain girl with a red ponytail. I didn't have time to think about why the other party suddenly became anxious.

"Lord Earl, you are so hard-hearted, you don't even care about the safety of your subordinates!" Test's face suddenly distorted, and he clung to the iron fence and wailed, "I only need you a promise!" ”

"Okay," Brando finally relented, "as long as your secret does make me feel valuable." ”

As if relieved, Tester replied with a distorted face, "...... Lord Earl, the young lady of staff beside you...... Yes! His eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a scream: "No, no! Wait, wait...... Listen to me, Lord Count...... Yes...... It's time to go to the Borg. Neson's daughter is McGske's subordinate...... If you still care about that, let me go...... No, don't take me away! Please! Ah......h

With a terrible wail, Test's voice suddenly turned into a series of frightened roars. At that moment, Brando seemed to feel something passing through the night, and a fluorescent phantom seemed to pass over the river, and there seemed to be thousands of troops in the phantom, dragging Tester directly into it, and when he blinked his eyes, the viscount who had been in front of him had long since disappeared without a trace. Brando reacted at this time, and hurriedly rushed to the river to take a look, only to see that the water surface was as calm as ever, and there was not even a trace of extra ripples.

But he looked down and saw a crack in the rusty iron fence that had been torn apart, as if to prove that the previous scene was not a hallucination.

Brando stood by the river, bathed in the cool night breeze, and stood there in a daze, feeling a little creepy for a while. Test's last wail seemed to echo in his mind—Borg. Nesson's daughter - isn't that Antitina, what does that guy know, he says Magske is looking for Antitina? He also knew this person, the former commander of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment, a high-ranking member of the All Things Are One, who was later found out in the Great Purge after the First Battle of Ampesel, and he would have been burned at the stake long ago.

But how could all this mess have anything to do with Antitina?

He originally came to Pragus just for family matters, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of incident now, and he almost didn't react for a while. But why did the One Society find Antitina? He couldn't help but glance back at the dilapidated building, which looked like a strange figure with crooked teeth and claws in the night, reflecting the dim light in the distance, and it was even more weird and terrifying, he took a slight breath, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

A moment later. The young man who had left before ran back out of breath, and when he saw Brando's gloomy face, he was still a little strange, and couldn't help but ask, "Did I come back too late, sir?" ”

Brando didn't answer, but asked, "Did you hear anything earlier?" ”

"Voice?" The young man looked puzzled. Shook his head.

Brando took one last look at the bar, and then took the package from the boy, and when he opened it, he saw that it was hot bread and bacon, and a few baked potatoes, which did not look like the food sold in the inn, but rather from his own house. It wasn't rich, but it was better than the cold bread he nibbled on while sleeping in the wilderness, and he put the package away. and threw a silver coin to the other party, which was considered a reward.

The latter looked flattered, although he was a little frightened at first, but for the sake of money, Brando was finally a little amiable in his eyes. Brando took a fancy to the attributes of the other party's head snake, so he left a way to get in touch, which was regarded as hiring a temporary attendant, and the young man was naturally 110,000 willing. I wish Brando had hired him for a while, and a Thor on the market was almost a week's worth for a skilled craftsman. A single tip from Brando is enough for him to keep himself busy for a while, and such a generous employer is not something that can be met all the time.

Not to mention extra money.

After telling the boy to report to him the next day, Brando took one last look at the secluded surface of the Buch River, which crossed the city, and then returned to the upper floor. When he returned to his room, he found both girls sitting at their desks, and Freya reading a thin book by candlelight. Brando caught a glimpse of the booklet's name, "Suliman's Cavalry Notes", a book famous in Eruin and one of the standard cavalry tactics textbooks at the Wang Li Sergeant Academy, which was a bit old, but the young girl from the countryside of Buchi studied whenever she had free time.

He turned his gaze back to Antitina. The staff lady is not as strong as him and Freya, her physique is only about the same as that of ordinary people, and after days of cycling, she is now tired, and she has fallen asleep lying on the desk. However, this staff lady is so stubborn, sleepy like this, and still doesn't want to sleep alone. Seeing this scene, Brando couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, he closed the door, walked over and put the food he found next to Freya, Freya seemed to notice Brando's storage at this time, she was taken aback, and then came back to her senses from the world of the scroll.

Brando hurriedly silenced her and pointed at Antitina, who realized that the staff lady who had been sitting next to him was asleep, and showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Brando, I'm too engrossed in reading, Miss Antitina, she ......." She hurriedly replied, but Brando waved her hand at her, gently helped up Miss Staff, he supported the latter's back with one hand, and passed through Antitina's knee with one hand, and directly hugged her horizontally, Miss Staff slept very deeply, her long eyelashes fluttered under the candlelight, as if she was dreaming of something, Brando only felt a faint fragrance belonging to a girl lingering on the end of her nose, and couldn't help but be stunned, Freya saw this scene on the side, and somehow felt a little jealous in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Brando, do you want me to help?" ”

Brando hesitated for a moment, and then remembered that it seemed more appropriate for Freya to come, but when he saw Antitina fall asleep on the desk so weakly, his heart was full of pity, and he only wanted to protect his unique staff lady, and forgot about it for a while. He paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly, he had done everything, and then he seemed squirming when he stopped again. He walked over to the bed, gently placed Antitina on it, and pulled the quilt on her, and he looked up at Freya again, seeing that the latter turned his head slightly.

"Sleep with you, too, and I'll keep a vigil for you."

"No need, Brando, I'm not sleepy." Freya refused.

She picked up the pamphlet again and flipped through a few pages, only to find herself distraught and unable to read a word again. After a pause, she looked up and saw that Brando was already sitting where Antitina had been sitting before, and when she saw her look over, she asked, "Did you hear anything earlier?" ”

"Voice?" Freya was about to ask about the matter between him and Miss Antitina, but she was startled by Brando's sudden question, and she thought to herself that this guy must be changing the subject, and there was no sound just now. She shook her head, "No." ”

Brando frowned slightly, Test's last scream was not small, at least a hundred meters away along the river, but he had also asked the young man before, and his answer was the same as Freya's. This was strange, he knew that there was only one situation that would happen now, and that was if he had encountered a hallucination, but the break in the iron fence clearly reminded him of what had happened before.

He thought of Test's words, and suddenly remembered the patrol cavalry he had met when he and the cripple first met Antitina.

At first, I thought that those guys were just blackmailing, but now that I think about it, there are many suspicions, although Eruin is rotten up and down, but there is a set of rules among the nobles, Antitina is also a nobleman, those patrol cavalry will not know this, they want to make some extra money, some are better targets, there is really no need to come here to ask for trouble. But judging from Test's words today, it makes more sense, Brando knows that Pragues' patrol cavalry is also from the White Wing Cavalry Regiment.

In other words, the people I met that day were probably McGske's men, but if Tester wasn't lying, then what did the One Things Association want from Antitina?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the aristocratic daughter who was sleeping on the bed as if she was a sleeping princess in a fairy tale, and his heart was also full of confusion.

"Forget it."

Brando shook his head in the end, don't think about things you can't figure out first, anyway, Antitina is by his side, and if everything is one, you have to ask him if he agrees or not.
