Freya's eyes were still a little red, and she went to see Aunt and Sil's uncle's graveyard, which was simply filled with wooden tombstones in an open clearing in the forest, most of which had no real owners, but only to comfort the souls of those who had died in the war. In the square, the patrol cavalrymen squatted in an orderly manner, watched over by the boys of Butch, but no one embarrassed them, and even the wounded were cared for.

Brando and Madden were standing together, talking, and the old man also rushed to hear the news, but he didn't expect to meet him and Freya. The veteran of the November War and the veteran captain of the Buchi garrison was obviously very pleased with the growth of Brando and Freya, especially the current identity and status of Brando and Freya, which gave him hope for the Buchi people. In fact, it has to be said that this old soldier has a little understanding of the aristocratic temperament of Eruin, and it is indeed not a trouble for Freya to change the situation of the Buchi people today, and there is no need to even bother Brando to use Tony Gerber's identity, even if it is her own position as the knight captain of the royal knights, it is not that Count Nagin is willing to exonerate for the sake of a forest.

This may sound a little sad, for the Buchi people it is a matter of life and death, but for the Count of Nagin it is just a matter of face, as a nobleman, of course he is not happy to let a group of refugees bully the head, but if this group of refugees is behind a princess's close courtiers, it will naturally be different. There was no need for Freya to remind her personally, as long as the Valkyrie, who was growing in prestige today, revealed her Buch's origins, Count Nagin was afraid that she would automatically revoke her mention in the House of Nobles.

News of the brawl between the patrol cavalry and the Buchi soon spread.

This was no small matter, and the people of Buchi knew that it represented what the nobles of Pragus thought of them, and many of them heard the news with great concern, not knowing what had happened, whether the House of Nobles had come to a conclusion. Want to drive them away? The crowd soon gathered, spreading all sorts of rumors, most of them with a general sadness and anger, no one spoke or shouted, and the scene was very depressed, because no one knew what to do next. Only the anger that was silently accumulated in the silence, and the patrol cavalry in the open field watched this scene in horror, did they realize how much trouble they had caused.

Fortunately, Freya herself came out to persuade her, as Brando said, she was the daughter of the Butchers after all, and she had led the refugees of Rydenburg with Brando, and many people recognized her, and when they knew that the daughter of the Butchers had risen to prominence today, although she was still a little skeptical, at least she was a little relieved and no longer seemed so agitated.

Brando watched the scene. I was a little relieved. Historically, during the frost month of the Year of the Swifts, the conflict between the Prague nobility and the refugees intensified for three years, when the nobles began to expel the refugees, the unbearable Buchi broke out overnight, followed by a riot that swept through the Prague area, many people died in the disaster, and after that, the situation of the Buchi people under the double pressure of the locals and the nobility deteriorated. Golan-Elson was also devastated by this, but the deeper catastrophe was a kind of indifferent suspicion that took root in the region. As a result, the kingdom lost its prestige in this region completely.

But today, it looks like the catastrophe won't have to happen again, at least.

However, when Freya returned to Brando, she looked a little depressed. "Brando, it's a little different than I thought it would be." She replied quietly.

"Remember what I said to you, one day, you can protect Buchi on your own. Let the Buchi people be in charge of their own destiny without being at the mercy of the nobles. Brando seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said with relief: "You have done this today, this qiē proves that your efforts have not been in vain, and you have set a goal for yourself." After all, he fulfilled his promise. ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

"But I couldn't help but think, if I didn't have the status I have today, what would happen to Yiqiē? Brando, how I would like to let the Buchi people be in charge of their own destiny, but—the power to decide the fate of all of them has only been transferred from the nobles to me, and they may be able to live in peace from now on, but even they themselves are not aware of it, and if I try to push them into the fire pit one day, I will repeat the mistakes of the past. Freya replied quietly.

"My child, but you're not going to do that, are you?" Madden replied.

"I know, but ......"

The old man, as if he knew what Freya was about to say, interrupted her, "This is the rule of the nobles, and you must obey it when you are in it, and you have done enough, my child." ”

Freya pursed her mouth tightly, she had the heart to refute, but she didn't know how to speak, she always felt that there was something wrong, but she didn't know what the problem was, Uncle Madden didn't seem to be wrong, but she was very aggrieved in her heart, as if after working hard, what she got was not the result she wanted; But she had a vague feeling that if there was someone here who could answer her doubts, it would be Brando.

As if every time she was confused, she still looked at Brando for the first time.

"Captain Madden is right, Freya," Brando replied calmly, as if the question had never been a problem for him, "and under the rules of our time, this is the best way to go. ”

Brando's words were like a flame that illuminated the darkness and gloom in Freya's heart, and she suddenly reacted, suddenly raised her head, and asked, "Brando, you mean, the rules - can they be changed?" ”

Brando smiled at her, "Isn't this what we've been doing, me, you, Your Highness the Princess, and everyone else is looking for and moving forward." ”

Freya opened her mouth slightly.

Madden seemed to hear a hint of it, and couldn't help but look at this young man he had only come into contact with twice in the War of the Black Roses, and he felt that he had seen each other more clearly, but each time he got more surprise.

Brando replied softly, "So Freya, you must not be presumptuous, you must know what you are doing. Far more glorious and glorious than you can imagine. Your background, your qualifications, in the face of this ideal and belief, are like a grain of dust, not worth mentioning at all. Those who mock you and ridicule you. They don't know what you're thinking, for they can't imagine the glory of Eruin's ancestors—the great deeds of ordinary men, like the oath that the first prince made before his sword. ”

"Young man," Madden listened for a while before he spoke, "do you believe this?" ”

Brando nodded: "I am sure, because I know that there have been many, many people who have paid for this, and until now there are many people who have overcome obstacles for this belief and ideal, I dare not say whether it will succeed or fail, but I at least understand." I'm not going to let it stop halfway. ”

He turned back to Freya and said, "Freya, do you remember what you once said, you made a vow to fight for the independent destiny of the Buchi people, so that everyone who pursues happiness and beauty can one day be free from the mercy of others, do you remember what I said to you that day?" ”

"I remember," Freya nodded vigorously. It was as if the gloom that haunted her heart was nothing more than a veil of mist, blowing gently. It's long gone. She replied with a vow: "Brando, I see, I will continue to persevere, and I will never regret it, even if I shed all my blood one day." Brando, do you believe me. I'm going to do it. ”

"You did it, silly girl." Brando heard Freya say that even if she shed blood, she would never give up, and in the history of Eruin, the Valkyrie had indeed shed her last drop of blood for this ancient kingdom.

The glory of the ancients of Eruin. It was a scene described in the legend, and Madden did not dare to imagine it, but he would not criticize the enthusiasm and impulsiveness of young people. In any case, as long as the Buchi people can live better tomorrow than today, they will be satisfied for him, and he has seen too many illusory things, and he is getting old, and he no longer believes in the so-called good vision, which is nothing but a vanity; But he at least understood that Freya was a good girl and would never push the Buchi into the fire pit, and that was enough.

After suffering from war and pain, Buche only hopes to restore the peaceful life of the past.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but the patrolling cavalry did not dare to act rashly, and after a while, the young men finally figured out the identity of the two men in front of them—and they did not dare to act rashly, but shouted in their hearts one by one that they were unlucky. Pragues had just experienced a war, and it was the combined forces of Tonigel, Lantoniland and Vieiro that rescued them from a desperate situation, but in this war, the prestige of the Valkyrie beside Count Tonigel and Her Royal Highness the Princess was even more vigorous, and those who were related to both the army and the nobility would not have heard of the names of these two people, and as soon as they learned that these two people actually had the background of Buch, everyone suddenly had a feeling that they were kicking the iron plate.

They didn't have time to sigh for the short-eyed Earl of Nagin, for Count Nagin could be said to be innocent of ignorance, and they had crashed headlong into others, and now if the Earl wanted to deal with them, I am afraid that no one would dare to stand up for them.

The patrol cavalry was panicked, but they didn't expect that Brando and Freya had forgotten about them long ago - Brando was not so small-bellied after all, not to mention that he knew very well the customs of places like Goran-Elson and even Karasu, it was common for young people to fight and even duel with each other, and both sides were fairly regular, although some people were injured, but basically no one was killed, and he had no intention of criticizing him. As for the fact that these patrol cavalry came to make extra money, it was really the same atmosphere, and he couldn't stop it if he wanted to, and he believed that with this lesson and his and Freya's background here, the other party might not make this kind of mistake again in the future, there was no need to offend people for no reason, after all, the Buchi people still had to live here, most of these young patrol cavalry were local gentry and nobles, and if they really had a grudge, he and Freya would never be able to take care of them all the time.

And Freya didn't have this mind at all, she finally went back to her hometown once, and all she saw were those familiar faces, especially the people from the militia in the past, who surrounded her, and asked her to tell the story of her and 'Lord Count Tonigel', but she and Brando had so many stories to tell, and Freya made a big red face. I couldn't say why I came here for a long time, where do I remember what patrol cavalry.

The captain of the patrol cavalry, Ou Jin, waited there in trepidation and worry for a long time, but did not wait for anyone to announce the death sentence or pardon to them, at first he thought that the Earl had deliberately wanted to hang them here, but after waiting for a while, he finally felt that it was not like that. He finally took a chance. The young man who had entrusted a militia team asked why, the young man had been slashed by him before, and he was very polite to his swordsmanship, so he came to ask Brando what to do with these guys, and it was only then that Brando remembered that there was still such a group of people waiting for him to fall.

When Eugene appeared in front of him with some sincere trepidation, Brando couldn't help but be a little amused, he knew these guys well, whether it was when he was a player in his last life. Later, at Fort Ridden, he had witnessed these proud cavalrymen. In the early years, the patrol cavalry was still part of the professional army of the kingdom responsible for local security and defense, but since the establishment of the garrison, it has become a place for the nobles to install their cronies and arrange the way out for their children, and the aristocracy of the army inevitably leads to the relaxation and corruption of discipline. And those cities that go deep into the territory are just a swarm of moths.

In fact, he had forgotten about these guys before. He subconsciously thought that these guys had escaped, but he forgot that in front of his powerful earl, it seemed that even if these patrol cavalry had the courage to leave, they didn't dare to leave without asking.

Eugene was a little surprised at the first sight of Brando, probably because he didn't expect the legendary Count to be so young, but he thought of other rumors about the Count of Tonigal, such as the grandson of the Sword Saint Darus. and some rumors about him and Her Royal Highness the princess - I was relieved again, and besides, it was often said that this lord was a rare young genius in Eruin in a hundred years, and only this way did he deserve the title of young genius. He coughed quickly and straightened his posture. He bowed his head and saluted, "Lord Earl, today's matter ...... Actually, it's actually a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Brando was still thinking about how this guy would apologize, but he didn't expect it to be such a boring old routine, it was really not creative at all, he couldn't help but yawn and asked, "What misunderstanding?" ”

"That's right, my lord," Ou Jin hurriedly continued, "...... Everyone thinks that we have come to help Count Nagin get rid of them, but this is a pure rumor, not to mention that we are going to drive everyone out of the forest, which is just a rumor, and even if it does, it is not within our scope of responsibility. In fact, my lord, we are here for some other business. ”

"Other official duties?"

"My lord, earlier we heard reports of a gang of vicious gangsters who had left the city around the evening, and then our eyeliner spotted them around the corner, so I chased them all the way."

"I guess, and then you bumped into little Phoenix and they got into a fight along the way, right?"

Ou Jin nodded wryly, of course he could have put all the blame away, but he knew that he might not be able to deceive the young Earl, and it was better to be honest so as not to upset people. Brando nodded, probably understanding the cause and effect of the matter, thinking that these people searched all the way, and then met Little Phoenix and his party, there was a grudge between the two sides, and the patrol cavalry relied on their own large number of people, so they wanted to seize the opportunity to report the hatred. This is a more reasonable explanation, Brando knows very well that the so-called task is not a matter at all for these nobles after that, as for the so-called vicious people who catch it, it is naturally considered a credit, and if they can't be caught, it will be counted, anyway, they don't lack that so-called credit.

However, he was a little curious about what kind of group of so-called vicious criminals existed, theoretically there were many outlaws in Pragues, and in order to attract the attention of these patrol cavalry, at least two conditions must be met - first, they must not be locals, most of the local outlaws have something to do with the Brotherhood of Thieves or some other gray field organization, and these organizations are generally inextricably linked with the local nobility, Therefore, the patrol cavalry generally does not trouble their own families, although even Brando does not say why the patrol cavalry and the outlaws became their own family, which can be regarded as a landscape of Eruin in this era. And secondly, there must be a certain number, one or two lawbreakers are not in the eyes of the patrol cavalry, not that they do not want to care, but because of their efficiency, they probably do not pay attention to the existence of such one or two people.

And the current situation, apparently, said that a large group of outlaws had infiltrated the city, so that even the patrol cavalry was alarmed, no matter how Brando thought, he felt that this was a bit like the style of a cultist.

But when he asked about it, Eugene hadn't said why, but little Phoenix on the side seemed to hear something, and he ran over and said, "Big brother Brando, I seem to know these guys." ”

"You know?"

Brando looked at him curiously.
