Act 146 Milondal
Dejar got up from the ground, and finally understood what Brando meant by being careful—the corner of the corridor outside the Nameless Hall, where they had only passed on patrol—and he ran with almost all his might, and then slammed into the wall that was harder than steel. Brando's face was reminding him, but in fact he was trying to divert his attention, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already suffered a big loss.
Brando passed Dejar, took a few steps forward, and then stood against the wall. The army of activating spells behind him was no more than a hundred feet away from him, but closer to Dejar.
"What do you want to do?" Dejar staggered over Brando, not understanding why he had suddenly stopped.
"Watching a play."
"Watching a play?"
As soon as Dejar finished speaking, he saw Brando pull out a long sheet from his backpack - oh no, a gray cloak should be said, but it was too big and too long, and it looked more like a giant's thing. Dejar was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that this thing was somewhat familiar, and then he saw Brando raise the cloak above his head, and from head to toe, the whole person disappeared completely.
"No, you devil!" Dejar immediately understood Brando's intentions, he roared, and when he looked back, his face turned pale - the two wandering magic lords were already standing in front of him like mountains.
"No, I will not let you succeed, Count Toniger!" Dejar looked furious, and he stood there immovable, as if he had no intention of directing the activating spells away even if he died.
The astral giant activation spell continued, and the tentacles that glowed softly swept across the hall like a galaxy.
Dejar's face turned blue and white, and he was indifferent at first, but when the tentacles buzzed above him, his face changed: "Help me." Otherwise, I will perish with you! He shouted through gritted teeth in the direction where Brando was.
It's a pity that Brando seems to have really disappeared, and there is no echo in that direction.
"You'll regret it!" Dejar finally panicked, he understood that he was just lying and threatening, but he didn't expect the other party to be really indifferent, he was covered in cold sweat. At the last moment, the ghost shouted out in a desperate voice: "Count Tonigel, I know you want me to lure these monsters to Duke Anlek, but don't think about it, I will never give in to you this time!" ”
Brando hid under the Hidden Cloak of the Punic King, and when he heard Dejar say this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, thinking that this guy really had a lot of imagination. He really hadn't thought of it that way, after all, these activation spells were all stirring energy bodies, in case - even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance of detonating the treasure thing in Anlek's hand. That's a lot of fun. However, if Dejar is really stubborn here, it is not beautiful, he has the cloak of the Punic King, of course, he is not afraid of being dragged and killed, but if these activation spells lose their target and reset, it will be troublesome to bump into Veronica and his party who are still in Tongguò Eternal Square.
He thought about it for a moment, and finally asked, "What conditions do you have?" ”
However, he used a small trick to use the sound dispersion in a qi system two-ring spell, so that the other party could not hear the source of the sound.
Dejar heard Brando's voice. For the first time, he felt that the other party's voice could be so good, and he hurriedly shouted like Feng Tianlun: "Help me!" ”
"Are you kidding me?" Brando mused. "I've saved you, who's going to lure these monsters away for me?" He usually saw that although this guy was a little stupid under An Lek, he was quite reliable, but he didn't expect his intelligence to plummet at a critical moment.
Dejar gritted his teeth when he saw that the corridor was silent again, and those activation spells were only a dozen meters away from him. Quickly run forward a few steps and stop. He himself realized that he had said something stupid, but he was not really stupid after all, and after a little thought, he understood Brando's real intentions: "I will lure these monsters away." But you have to grant me one request. ”
"What a request."
"I want you to promise on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess, spare the life of the Duke." Dejar replied with a breath.
"Why should I grant such a request on behalf of the princess?" Brando couldn't help but be a little amused, thinking that this guy's brain couldn't have been broken before, otherwise how could he say stupid things one after another.
"Because you are the Count of Toniger, the one who reached out to save her and her brother when the royal party betrayed, you signed an agreement with His Royal Highness the prince, ostensibly to recuperate, but in fact for the sake of checks and balances between the north and the south, so that Her Royal Highness the princess, whose relationship with the royal party is difficult to repair, will inevitably have to rely on you, you have Toniger, so that Denel will be your fief in the future, and when you are full-fledged, your position in Eruin will not be shaken. In the battle of Ampesel, you are the biggest winner, you are the future ruler of Eruin, the real speaker, how can Her Royal Highness not obey you. Dejar roared.
Brando was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this guy to come up with so many reasons, what kind of strange idea of signing an agreement with His Royal Highness the Prince is to check and balance the north and the south - he suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, it must be the same in the eyes of outsiders, and even Her Royal Highness the princess probably thinks so in her heart; It was just that it was impossible to bring it up to him, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly understood why Princess Griffiin's attitude had suddenly changed drastically after the battle of Ampesel, and he thought it was out of gratitude, but now he thought that he was too naïve. I'm afraid that that night, Her Royal Highness the princess had already thought it through, and at that time she obviously even had the heart to kill him, but suddenly she restrained herself and made a covenant with him, you must know that it was a princess from the royal family.
This obvious change in attitude is probably only taken for granted by a guy like him who has no understanding of politics and people's hearts.
Keep the enemy of the king's eldest son outside, in case Her Royal Highness and the royal party cross the river and tear down the bridge, and then unite with the highland knights and the Grand Duke of Vieiro to sweep away Count Denel, the loser who was on the wrong side at the critical moment, and even Brando himself thinks that Denel will definitely be his own territory in the future - otherwise Tonigel is not a county at all, why would Her Royal Highness give herself the title of count? When he became the Count of Jean Denel, at that time in the eyes of outsiders, whether he admitted it or not. He will be the future ruler of Eruin, and the path after this is almost imaginable for Brando. Marrying Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then becoming the regent of Eruin, what Anlek didn't do today, seemed to him to be within reach.
Even more sinister. It seems that it is not impossible to change the dynasty - as long as the little prince has three long and two short.
Brando suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if even he could think of it, what would Her Royal Highness the Princess think? There was absolutely no way she could tolerate any threat to her brother, and he suddenly realized that Princess Griffiin had made Haruzer his student and accompany him this time, which in itself was an intentional arrangement. Because he is not yet 'fledgling', it is impossible to make a move on Haruzer at this time and let him take the title of Haruzer's teacher. Eruin and Cruz attach great importance to righteousness and honor, and the change of dynasty is often based on those ethereal conventions and legends, just like the decline of the Siphah family, simply because they have lost the favor of the Lionheart.
And the Yanbao family can ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Corkova royal family to abdicate with her younger brother on the grounds that the sword seat is broken, and Duke Anlek has been in business for several generations, and it can be said that he has long been above the royal family in terms of strength. But they still dare not act rashly and covet the throne, and they still need a reasonable reason to meddle in the change of kings - for example. Marriage. The same is true of the northern aristocracy, no matter how powerful, they still have to rely on the Sifah family, which has long since fallen a thousand years ago, because this is the tradition and the rules, and everyone must follow them.
And it is absolutely impossible for Eruin to tolerate a king-killer, a teacher-killer. Or those who conspired to kill their own students ascended to the throne, because these are even more dishonorable.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is really well-intentioned, and Brando can't help but sigh, he can almost be sure that this is a test, but Nimesis who is following him is the eyeliner of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Just to let Her Royal Highness know the true origin of Nimesis. I'm afraid that he will immediately consider going to another person, these are the so-called inevitable coincidences of history, but Brando shook his head, he didn't have any thoughts about these in the first place, whether it was the throne of Eruin, the fate and future of this country, if it wasn't for the experience of another world, it had nothing to do with him at all.
Presumably the same is true of the senior sister.
Man tends to be rational most of the time, but his life is often governed by emotion.
Whether it was Anlek, Dejar, Her Highness the Princess, or even Antitina and the others around him, they would never understand what he was really after. Perhaps only one person could understand, as if she had innocently asked, 'Brando, what do you want to do?' ''I want to be a businessman in the future.'' 'Same. He replied that he wanted to save Eruin and drag the kingdom back from its predetermined trajectory to ruin, and that all could think that this was a mere excuse, and that their lord must have a greater purpose.
But it's that simple. You want to be a businessman, I want to be a savior, it's like a child who says he wants to be a general, he wants to be a king, because he wants to, so he does it, and there is no other reason.
Brando chuckled and shook his head, taking Dejar's words as a joke, while the latter was in the midst of a struggle.
It was only a flash of lightning, but the army of activation spells was so close that Dejar couldn't tell what he had said wrong, why the damned conspirator, the devil, and the fraudster suddenly stopped talking, even if he wanted him to die or live, at least give him a letter. In this current state, he really couldn't advance or retreat, and if it weren't for the fact that he was asking for help, Dejar would almost immediately scold again.
But Brando finally came to his senses, and he shook his head and said, "This request is impossible. ”
Although he refused, Dejar let out a long breath: "You are too harsh, Lord Earl. ”
"Dejar, whether the Duke of Anlek lives or dies is not up to you and me to decide. What's more, hasn't he failed yet, you are here to arrange the aftermath for your master, I'm afraid it's not good. Brando scoffed.
It wasn't going to fail, but it's hard to say since you're here. Dejar secretly hated in his heart, and Enlek still didn't know that Brando and Veronica had chased this neighborhood, which in itself showed that things had developed beyond their expectations, and perhaps the Duke had a follow-up. But the young man in front of him was not so easy to dismiss, in fact, he had a strange premonition in his heart, they might have failed a long time ago, and Brando's appearance here was just to save something.
Dejar didn't know that his guess was close to the truth, but Brando's words still blocked him, after all, it was. He can't curse his master to fail, can he? He pondered for a moment, and finally replied, "I have only one request." ”
By the time he said this, Dejar had already rushed forward, and he had distanced himself from the activating spell behind him.
"Say." Brando replied.
……
The obsidian door was humming low, and Kou Hua withdrew his hand from the door, and the texture of the door flowed with a stream of light, all concentrated in the central groove, forming a bright nebula. "Alright." The eldest daughter of Isis replied coldly, the eyes of the members of the One All Things Order behind her glinting with excitement. Only An Leek's expression remained the same, with a gloomy face, as if the whole plan had come to an end, but it had nothing to do with him.
"I've opened this door for you as promised, but you don't seem happy, human?" Kou Hua was keenly aware of this, and she asked absentmindedly.
"Humanity and civilization are one step closer to their destruction, what is there to be happy about?" Anlek replied lightly.
"Huh." For the first time, the eldest daughter of Isis looked interested, and her lips in the shadow of her hood curled with curiosity: "I thought that was your life's goal. Now that the wish has been fulfilled, shouldn't it be satisfied and excited? ”
"That is indeed my life's goal," Enlek was silent for a moment, before replying in a hoarse voice, "but a matter has an eventual and inevitable result, and then it seems unremarkable." Civilization is drifting away on the path of stupidity, and its demise is only the path they are to blame. But in any case, I am still one of them, and their ruining miè, that is, our ruining miè, is nothing to celebrate. ”
"And you're going to do it?" Kou Hua felt more and more unable to understand these strange humans.
They are not the race of gold. The people of gold are the servants of God's people, the staunchest defenders of order. They are not the people of silver, the people of silver are the followers of the law, from the wilderness of the four realms to the shallow sea, from the borders of the Black Forest to the farthest frontiers of the elements, they monitor and witness the changes in order, and have never heard of betrayers among the people of gold and silver. But these people in front of her were the last generation, the people of Black Iron, and it was the first time Kou Hua had dealt with these humans, but she felt a strange feeling from them.
She seemed to realize something, but immediately shook her head, putting the strange premonition behind her.
The obsidian gate let out a roar and gradually receded to the sides, revealing the corridor of the black hole behind it, and the soft light emitted from the magic gem held high in the hands of the members of the All Things One Society poured in through the open gap, illuminating the corridor that had been sealed under the dust for thousands, if not tens of thousands.
Spiral Hall -
Someone even let out a low cry.
"Miss Kou Hua, you are not human, and you cannot understand human emotions. Man is a self-proclaimed rational person most of the time, but his life is often driven by emotions to make him do things that seem impulsive and incomprehensible to others. As if he didn't care about what was happening in front of him, he seemed to be in a rare mood to talk to the noble lady.
"Are you too?" Kou Hua narrowed her eyes and stared at the old man who looked completely withered on the surface, but she could feel the will supported by the powerful majesty of the other person's rickety body—although this majesty seemed a little ridiculous to her, but to others, it could not be offended.
"I'm human too, and I'm not excluded." Enlek replied.
"Do you not agree that it is a great purpose to bring order to truth?" Kou Hua asked again.
"This is indeed a great purpose, far beyond those flies and dogs about power and profit, and I have seen too much stupidity to choose this path. Even in order to make sure that I am correct, I have consulted a lot of documents and materials, and few people know that I have studied in the White Pagoda of the Buga for a long time, and that I participated in the last holy war, but every qiē I have seen has verified my conjecture - the king of fire founded Cruz for only a thousand years, and his descendants have ever remembered the glory of a thousand years ago? The wind elves betrayed their sage almost when they turned their heads, the sun, the moon, and the stars, where are the moon elves, and where are the star elves? Today's Faenzan is vulgar, it has long lost its transcendence, civilization and order are nothing more than that, it is just a simple repetition of mistakes for thousands of years, I am tired of this kind of cookie-cutter cycle, rather than let future generations repeat the tragedy of their predecessors, it is better to end it once and for all. ”
Kou Hua raised her thin eyebrows slightly, probably not expecting that she would lead to this old man's tirade, but she immediately asked with her usual keenness: "I heard you say that you are righteous and awe-inspiring, but it is not difficult to hear the resentment in your words, human being." ”
"I've never acted with righteousness, I just want to make sure that what I'm doing is right, you're right, personal anger is my motivation, but that's my own secret, there's no need to tell outsiders." Anlek replied lightly, shaking his head, not as if he wanted to continue on the topic.
The team slowly walked along the dark passageway, and after passing a narrow archway, an open space suddenly appeared in front of them, it was a spherical hall, with similar arches on all sides of the hall, and each road extended from the archway to form a long bridge, which took on a spiral connection to the center of the hall, where there was a large platform. But instead of being empty, there was a stone throne with a purple crystal floating over it, and when the members of the One Society entered the hall, they saw a tall blue figure sitting on the throne standing up to them.
"Humans, this is not where you should be, and now you have room to regret it." When the blue figure spoke, the hall buzzed.
The witch had spoken of the magic in words, but at this moment the members of the All Things Return to One Society understood the truth of the legend, the other party's words were not high, but when the voice came, it was like a stormy wave, word by word, as if it was intersected with lightning and thunder, it was just a short warning, but everyone, including Anlek, felt as if they were caught in an endless storm, they trudged through the bitter cold wind, and the peak of the mountain where the storm stopped seemed to loom ahead, There are endless glaciers on all sides, and in the blink of an eye, they will be completely buried under this 10,000-year-old ice.
In just one sentence, everyone understood the identity of the tall figure in front of them.
Milos - The god of the frost giants.
Even Kou Hua bowed and greeted in a crisp voice, "Lord Milondar, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
The voice sighed: "Little Kou Hua, I thought you were far away from the war, it seems that the world still can't go as you wish." ”
As soon as the words fell, the illusion in front of An Lik and the others finally disappeared.
