Act VIII Transaction II
"Tell me, what do you want?" As soon as the fairy lady spoke, Brando smiled with satisfaction. Because at least at this point, he knew that he was halfway there.
"First of all, we need an environment that is big enough for us to close the deal."
Brando replied.
"Huh? What is that? Tania asked warily, glaring at Brando suspiciously, "Little fellow of the Cadilloso family, you have more and more new words in your mouth, but it always makes me feel that you have bad intentions. β
Not bad, good intentions are natural. But how could Brando say it, he shrugged: "That's not true, but Aunt Tanya, you also understand that after the war, Ampesel was mixed, especially the eyes of the Flame Sanctuary and the northern nobles were closely watching our every move in the city. The nobles of the north, you know what forces are behind them-"
The fairy lady quickly flew up, and Brando's words hit the nail on the head of what she was worried about. She spun around the heavens with some irritability, muttering, "The Flame Sanctuary and the cultists, it's indeed a nuisance. The Sanctuary of Fire, in particular, had little power, but it was buzzing like a fly. β
Brando was embarrassed, and in his mind, only the people of silver would dare to say that the Temple of Fire was like a fly. However, on top of the dislike for this force, the two of them reached the same consensus and reached a consensus: "Of course, it is to get them out completely, so that they have no reason to gain a foothold in Ampesel-"
Before Brandor could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tania: "Wait, you don't want us to help you regain control of Ampesel, do you?" β
Ampesel is known to be an autonomous port promised to the Temple by the Eruin royal family. In today's rising clerical power, the Templars possess more or less such land in all the kingdoms under his rule, and in fact the nobles of Eruin have coveted Ampesel for a long time, but no one is as bold as Brando.
Brando glanced back at Princess Griffine. I saw the princess open her mouth slightly. I looked at him in amazement as if I was meeting him for the first time. But what is it, Brando thought, and this is just the beginning.
He wanted a brand new Eruin. Eruin, who is not at the mercy of anyone and can control his own destiny.
He had already made a calculation in his heart, and his tone became confident: "No, it is not so. Do you think the Azure Spear will be able to leave the territory of Eruin lightly? Although the Sanctuary of Fire did not dare to snatch anything from the Buga, it was possible to be sure that the Azure Spear was excavated from Eruin, and you know, Eruin was also the traditional sphere of influence of the Cruz. β
He wasn't lying, because the Eruin were also descendants of the Lord of Fire, and the relationship between Eruin and the Sanctuary of Fire was well known. Not to mention the world, even the Eruin themselves believe that they should be under the jurisdiction of the Sanctuary of Fire.
Except, of course, Brando.
Lady Fairy frowned, "Cadilloso's little one, you are naΓ―ve to think so, right?" Do you think that the Silver Alliance is unilaterally pressuring the Sanctuary of Fire? Can you get the greedy fanatics out of this port? β
Brando was a little excited, this was something he had thought about for a long time, so he had already had a way to deal with it.
He had never felt a moment closer to Eruin.
"If it's the old days. Naturally, no. But right now, the Temple of Flame has made a huge mistake. They have brought demons into this world, have you forgotten the sacred covenant? Right now, the Silver Elves and the wizards of Buga are here. What if together you ask them to relinquish their jurisdiction over this port according to the terms of the Holy Covenant? β
"You're qualified, right?" Brando asked, smiling like a fox.
From behind her, the voice of Her Royal Highness the Princess inhaling softly.
Tanya was also inhaling, "You premeditated, didn't you?" "Lady Leprechaun suddenly realizes that things may be as Brando expected, and if so, it is very likely that the Temple of Fire will really have to give up Ampesel.
Especially when the holy war on the earth is imminent.
This little guy is changing history.
She suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but look at Brando deeply. But Brando disagreed, replying: "It's just to make sure the deal is done, and if Buga has the ability, why not do it better?" β
"Even Aunt Tanya should admit that in order to keep the transaction safe, we have to sort out a quiet environment, right? Besides, the wizards of the silver can get the Azure Spear no matter what, and this deal is yours to earn. β
"Yes, little fox." Lady Leprechaun gave a sneering look. However, she didn't care if Eruin could get Ampesel back, she just felt troublesome. In fact, she knew very well that for the sake of the Azure Spear, those dossier scholars in the Holy Library were only afraid to do anything.
Not to mention helping Eruin get back a port, even if it was to join the mortal crusade?
The long lives of the Silver People have long since shaped their arrogant and indifferent character.
"Alright," Brando nodded in satisfaction, and clearing the Flame Sanctuary and the forces of the northern nobility from Ampesel so that Eruin could retake the port was part of the deal. The point is that in this way, it will be difficult for the tentacles of the temple and the northern nobles to penetrate through this center to the south, and it will be much easier for Her Royal Highness the princess to complete the unification of the southern border.
Of course, he will not say these hidden parts to take up a share of the transaction for nothing. He continued: "Then what follows is the compensation that I personally need. β
"What do you need?" Tania asked angrily.
"What I want is very simple, I want to learn from you how to interpret ancient texts, and study these three tablets with you during your stay in port." Brando replied.
In fact, for him, this is the focus of the transaction.
No one knows what kind of bloody storm these earth slabs will cause in the future, because the knowledge on the slate is too precious. It is not only a record of ancient history, but also secret methods and knowledge from before the era of glory was lost.
There is also a word about the history of the past and the people of the gods who have disappeared -
But deciphering tablets is a specialized skill that even the wizards of Buga know little about, and now is an opportunity to get started. How could Brando let go? Eruin missed the First Battle of the Sages, and thus failed to become one of the most powerful empires in Vaynd's world.
But now, how can Eruin, who is there, miss another opportunity?
However, this deal sounded a little insignificant to Tanya, and she was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Brando's request to be so simple. The look on Lady Fairy's face softened slightly, and she glanced at Brando carefully: "It turns out that you are not really greedy, it is really difficult for you." β
She flew up to Griffiin and sighed, "You have a great knight, Griffyne. β
"Hmm." The half-elf princess nodded earnestly.
Brando's face was embarrassed, and it was clear that both ladies thought he was having to open his mouth for the sake of the future of the kingdom. But in fact, this is the real cart before the horse.
"Alright, I'll accommodate your request. The quest for knowledge is a noble thing, and it is not the content of a transaction. What more do you want, say, little one? Tania said suddenly.
"Hmm, how about repairing my equipment?" Speaking of which, that's actually the original purpose of his coming here today. However, he thought for a moment and added: "By the way, can you help me find some magic equipment, it shouldn't be difficult for the wizard of Buga, right?" β
"It's hard to say, the next bit of magic equipment has been almost dismantled by those old guys, and I can't find you any better ones," Tania replied casually, "Let's take a look at the equipment you want to repair, speaking of which, that's what you're here for." β
Brando nodded, and then took out the equipment in the dimensional cave one by one. When the fairy lady saw it, she immediately exclaimed:
"Hotaru? How did it break like this? β
"Wait, isn't this a blessing for Crimson? Did you throw it into the magic crucible and reforge it? Martha is above, and the dragon god will curse you......"
Every time Brando took out a piece of fantasy-level magic equipment, Tania's eyes widened, and finally she had to hold on to her glasses and glared at Brando in some amazement: "Did you rob a certain dragon's treasury?" How can there be so many fantasies, and besides, are all the equipment you want to find for me like this? β
"Do you think I look like a big fat sheep?" She couldn't help but scream.
"No, no, you're mistaken," Brando was sweating profusely, in the era before the Great Demon Tide, he had a little more gold-tier equipment. But those are all obtained through the adventure of life and death, not to rob the treasure house of a certain dragon, to say that there is indeed a dragon by his side, but he does not have the courage: "I just want some talismans, no matter what level it is." β
"Talisman?" Tania was slightly stunned: "What do you want to do?" β
"It's not just amulets," Brando replied, "Aunt Tanya, what I need are some amulets that will increase one's physical and mental strength. β
"Ah," Lady Fairy reacted, "Isn't this kind of talisman needed by magic apprentices when they practice spells?" Little fellow of the Cadilosso family, aren't you the son of the Sword Master? β
"That's my grandfather." Brando took the trouble to explain, "And I also have the identity of an elemental, but this is not for practicing magic. I'm not interested in wizarding for a while, but it's important to me, Aunt Tanya. β
The fairy lady raised an eyebrow: "I see, now either?" β
"Don't worry, wait for the matter here to come to an end."
Brando thought to himself that it was time to get some trouble for the Sanctuary of Fire.
