The Amber Sword - 561. Chapter 561

Brando, Antitina, and Magdal were introduced into a separate box on the third floor of the auction house. There is actually a terrace here, the whole is fan-shaped, sitting here can have a panoramic view of the auction, and the visual position is very superior, which makes Brando very satisfied. But he didn’t know that the lady of the staff beside him was slightly surprised. In Antitina’s expectation, the auction venue of Amperexel must be extremely luxurious, at least it should far exceed the magnificence of Braggs, right, but here The decoration is not very eye-catching, even in her opinion a bit too shabby.

The surrounding wall made of dark wooden planks looks very simple, and the thick curtains hanging from the suspended ceiling are too ordinary in color, so that the seats are not as finely carved as the Braggs trade fair. , But she felt a little surprisingly comfortable sitting on it.

However, the daughter of this little nobleman from Bragos would never have thought that the inconspicuous-looking dark wooden planks were actually precious dark wood, which could be used to make the staff. The cloth hanging from the ceiling is also from the southern desert country, which is more expensive than a thousand gold textiles. The cushion under her body is made of camel hair. The ordinary things here are also worthy of ordinary people’s struggle for several years. Because of the extravagant life of the nobility, it has long surpassed her cognition.

Although Antitina herself can be regarded as a nobleman, big or small, her family has long since fallen, and she can’t afford to enjoy these luxuries.

There is a continuous soundproofing spell around the terrace, and the outer layer of a feather-like translucent curtain prevents others from seeing the identity of the guests on the terrace. The protection measures of the auction house are extremely well done, but just in case, Brando still casts a soundproof spell by himself. The use of this less than a ring of Qi system is still very simple for the elemental envoy of more than 20 levels. But seeing that Brando didn’t rely on any’props’ for his shots, the eyes of the nun princess still lit up.

“Unexpectedly, he can still magic. A swordsman who entered the realm of gold in his early twenties, how exactly did Mr. Brando practice? Is there really such a big gap between genius and mortal?” Magdal The princess raised her thin Liu Ye’er eyebrows curiously, her heart filled with wonder. Although she had always thought that her best friend, Her Royal Highness, Eruin’s Princess, was already a genius, it was eclipsed by comparison with Brando. NS. This is because she didn’t know that it took Brando a little more than a year to go from Black Iron to Gold. Otherwise, I’m afraid that Brando’s ancestors or he himself was simply disguised by the Dragon Clan. .

There are even rumors outside that this young man may be Eruin’s most outstanding new star in a century, but this new star comes from the Yanbao family, but is very close to Her Royal Highness, which makes some people care about it. Only Magda felt a little at ease, because there were such talents in the camp of her close friends.

“Okay, you can speak, Your Royal Highness. May I ask what happened in the temple. If I remember correctly, the priest Wood should support the maintenance of Eruin’s status quo. Isn’t his opinion enough to represent the temple of flames? The opinion of the upper class, as far as I know, although there is more than one chief priest, there are not many in the temple, let alone the special diocese of Ampersel. I want to know what changed the intention of the temple?” Brando After arranging the spell, he immediately turned around and asked.

The beautiful nun princess was taken aback for a moment before she came back to her senses: “It should be a letter brought by Merros. It was originally scheduled to be a month later for the handover ceremony of the chief priest in the Temple of Andreux, but Merros has not only advanced After arriving, he brought a letter. After reading the letter, the priest Wood locked himself up. In fact, his last order was to forbid us to leave the temple at will. I was looking for an opportunity to bypass the guards to be with you. I met, Mr. Brando.”

“Wood is not a human being, but he is one of the few people who has a strong faith. In this way, the letter that made him break his promise must have come from the core of the temple, but what is the reason for the temple has changed in a hurry? Attitude? Generally speaking, the chief priest of a diocese represents the attitude of the temple. In history, there are few cases where their opinions completely contradict the temple. So it must be because of some unexpected event. But in history, this is the case. The situation is not much.” Brando couldn’t help frowning.

The moment he frowned, the outside auction finally opened as scheduled. The first lot is a magic sword. The Ampersel auction is indeed a few grades higher than the Braggs underground fair. The quality of this magic sword is extremely good, even better than Brando’s original wizard in every respect. The sword of Zhanguang’s thorn was even more than that, and the bid price was 50,000 Tor, and the lady of the staff who heard the price could not help taking a breath.

But Brando didn’t have much interest in that sword. The sword of the earth in his hand was considered to be the highest among fantasy weapons. The only flaw was that it was lower in level. However, at the same level, it is indeed qualified to sweep all the weapons below the divine weapon, or it will not be called the holy sword of the earth. Among the swords of amber, there are not many weapons that can be called holy swords.

“It would be great if I could see the content of the letter.” His attention was only attracted by the sudden wave of noise outside the meeting place, and he immediately turned his head and answered to himself.

“Mr. Brando, can you help Griffin. The intention of the temple is to help the northern nobles unify the entire Eruin. Perhaps even Grand Duke Anlek joined the alliance under pressure. In this way, Ge Liffey seems very dangerous because she is still in Amperexel.” Magdal said worriedly.

“Do you think the temple will start in Ampersel, leaving Her Royal Highness and her party directly here?” Brando couldn’t help frowning. Although he doubted whether the nobles in the north had this courage, he had to consider this possibility. The temple claims to not interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, but in history they actually had several criminal convictions. “Even Anlek has been subdued. The Temple’s attitude this time is quite tough. But what are they trying to do, aren’t they afraid to cause a backlash?” He was puzzled. The vassal country of the Temple of Flame is not the only one of Eruin. The Cruz people’s doing so is likely to cause other vassal countries to feel like rabbits and foxes. In history, the Temple of Flames interfered in other countries’ internal affairs for special reasons. This What is it for again?

The nun nodded, “Murros has a very tough attitude. He seems to be rushing to end Eruin’s civil war. But the royal party still has power in the south. If the princess is returned to Vlada-Pace, the south and It will take at least half a year for the North to end the war. The recovery period after the war does not know how long it will take. It may not be long to see Murros look like.”

The noise outside the auction room was higher than the other, and the magic sword had been sold at a high price of nearly 120,000 Tor, and it was finally taken by a swordsman. But the noise outside could not attract the attention of the two in the box. Brando’s brows were almost twisted together, and he asked: “How does the princess want me to help? The northern aristocrats will probably try their best to delay the time, if I If you guessed it correctly, the army in the north has already begun to mobilize, but if Princess Griffith takes the lead to withdraw from the meeting, I’m afraid the temple will use this as an excuse to start.”

“At that time, if I want to stand on the side of Princess Griffin, Your Royal Highness, do you want me to declare war on the temple?” Brando replied lightly.

“Brando…” Antitina was startled, I am afraid that only Brando would dare to say such a thing, and declare war on the temple? She couldn’t even mention the fear. The kingdom belonged to the power of Yan for centuries, and the Temple of Flame, one of the five great temples, not only controlled Cruz and Eruin, but also owned by it. Among the vast territory, Eluin is just the most inconspicuous stone.

Magdal looked at Brando in embarrassment. She herself was a devout believer, and of course she knew how terrifying the Temple of Flame possessed. The small principality where she lives is completely sheltered under the shelter of the temple. She can still maintain a free body with the beauty that is superior to human beings. It is also entirely attributed to the title of the nun princess-this title is also the temple. Bestowed on her.

It can be said that if there is no temple, there would be nothing she has now.

“Mr. Brando, I know you have always been inclined to the royal party, so you can answer me, to what extent are you willing to help Griffin?” Thinking of the situation of her best friend, she couldn’t help but ask .

“No, you are wrong, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Antobro. I have never supported the Royal Party, including their claims, and even the views of Her Royal Highness, I do not agree.” Brando heard this from the Royal Party. The name couldn’t help frowning.

“Ah!” Magdal was taken aback: “How come…Is everything you did in Tonigel just for your own benefit?”

Brando shook his head, he didn’t need to do that for the benefit. With his ability, in Cruz, in Gresius, and even in St. Osor, the empire of the wind elves, he can obtain the status that ordinary people dream of. There is no need for such a desolate Tonigel to start from scratch.

“I admit that I have a good impression of Princess Griffin. But it is not because of her opinions at the moment, nor is it because of the pursuit of the lost glory of this kingdom. First of all, I am not a knight, Princess Magdal. What I care about is More importantly, I only want to protect the people I want to protect. I just want the tragedy not to repeat itself,” he asked indifferently, “Do you know what I mean, Princess Magdal.”

Princess Magdal looked at him blankly, with a dazed expression: “Sorry, Mr. Brando…I don’t quite understand. Are you trying to say…you like Griffin?”

Brando almost didn’t choke, and the princess’s association ability was too rich. He quickly coughed and sighed: “Whatever you think, but I just want to say that I will not join this political battle just because I support the king’s party or the proposition of the princess. I am neither a chess player. Hands, not chess pieces. Princess Magdal, if you really want me to intervene, everything has to be my way.”

At this time, Ramona Anyao’s paintings in the first era of glory-that is, Brando’s lot was put on the auction table. This is the fourth lot; the artistic attainments of the royal family of wind elves in St. Osor Originally extremely high, Princess Anyao is even hailed as an unborn genius. This painting is a work of her golden age and a treasure. Therefore, the auction entered a small climax when it started. The starting price of up to one million Thor attracted Antitina’s attention.

There were repeated noises outside, but Magdal’s soft voice in the box could not be suppressed: “Mr. Brando’s way?”

“Before answering this question, Princess Magdal, I want to ask how you would like me to help Her Royal Highness.”

The nun princess was stunned, frowning and replied: “Of course I hope Griffith can leave this dangerous place. Amperisel is not safe, Mr. Brando…”

She didn’t think so. At first, she didn’t think Brando could change anything, but just wanted to persuade the other party to join the royal party, so that the stronger Griffith’s side was, the more safe she would be in Amperexel. Just don’t know why, Brando’s words unknowingly shake her original thoughts.

Brando replied, “But you have to understand that if Princess Griffin chooses to leave Amperexel, she will never have the opportunity to obtain the support of the temple, and even the original balance of power cannot be maintained. The royal party will At an absolute disadvantage, failure is almost imminent, and everything that Her Royal Highness and the royal party advocates will be in vain.”

Princess Magdal was stunned, but she immediately replied: “I only care about Griffin. She is my friend.”

“Then I will answer you, and so will I.” Brando replied, lowering his eyelids slightly.

“I understand,” Magdal took a breath. “But why is Mr. Brando so disliked by the royal party? What you did in Tonigel is like a real knight, the royal party’s Idea, isn’t it the path you are pursuing? Why don’t you choose to advance and retreat together with them? Eluin has very few upright people like you, so why don’t you unite and let the old aristocrats in the north instead? Winning, Mr. Brando is also deeply in love with this ancient country, right?”

Brando shook his head and faintly replied: “The Lionheart Sword in Freya’s hands at this moment promises to protect the people, not to be a proof of the continuation of orthodoxy-the princess, the Valkyrie, and the residents of Buche , If even the people watching it cannot protect, what is the meaning of the existence of the title of country?”

“A country, after all, is made up of people. The knights fight on the front line to protect rather than sacrifice the people they want to protect. Do you understand? Only relying on the orthodoxy of the bloodline and the honor of steadfastness, King The so-called persistence of the party is nothing more than the old nobility’s perseverance. It is a bubble after all. Your Royal Highness, have you been to Buche?”

“Buche?”

“Then you must not understand what Eruin really needs. The sword of Xianjun Ake is the sword that protects everyone, and the sword of the royal party? I’m afraid it may not be directed at the nobles, right?”

The nun said nothing. She didn’t quite understand Brando and Griffin or even the royal party’s thoughts, but privately thought that perhaps Brando was right. “Mr. Brando has a temperament similar to Griffin, but Griffin does not see him as clearly. All of us are mistaken. It turns out that the royal party did not choose the right path from the beginning. “Magdal nodded.

She looked up: “Can I help you, Mr. Brando?”

“I want to see the content of that letter to confirm the true attitude of the temple. If it is as you said, Princess Magdal, then I have to take away Her Royal Highness by force.” Brando replied.

“Yes. But in exchange, I hope that Mr. Brando will stop calling me the princess, just call me Magdal.” The princess said seriously.

“Is this all right?” Brando couldn’t help turning back. At this moment, Princess Anyao’s oil painting was photographed at a high price of 3.3 million Thor, and there was still more than 3 million in income after deducting the handling fee. Antitina couldn’t help but utter a low voice, and then replied. Turning around to look at his lord. But Brando looked at Magdal and asked, “Miss Magdal is a believer in the temple, right?”

“The teachings of the King of Flames warn the world to be upright and noble and loyal to friendship. Although I respect the temple, I respect the truth in my heart even more. I think even Lord Wood will support my decision.” Magdal replied. Said: “For this, I am willing to pay all the price, so please rest assured Mr. Brando.”

Brando let out a soft cry, “His Royal Highness is as good and upright as the rumors.” He had originally respected the devout believers, but he couldn’t help but appreciate it at the moment. He thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the future fate of the princess, he couldn’t help but reminded him: “Miss Magdal, have you ever thought of fighting for your own destiny?”

The nun princess’ eyes widened and her words of striving to control her destiny deeply moved her. She didn’t know why Brando would see through the struggle in her heart, and couldn’t help staring at the latter with extreme surprise.

“I have no ill intentions.”

Magdal hesitated, but finally shook his head. The temple gave her too much, and she didn’t have the courage to fight—just like Griffin, although she knew she was bound by her own cocoon, she still had to move forward. Seeing Magdal’s unwillingness to leave the temple, Brando only sighed. In fact, he also knew that this was unlikely. After all, the nun princess still represented her country. People are never free, and he just asks casually.

The auctioneer knocked the gavel for the third time, and the sound was finalized.

“I’m waiting for your good news.” Brando replied: “Please be careful.”

“En.” Princess Magdal nodded.
