The Amber Sword - 842. Chapter 842 Act Three Trivia at the End of Summer
A beetle slowly climbed up along the smooth surface of the hourglass. The barbs on its feet did nothing on the glass. After trying several times, it grabbed the wooden support rod of the hourglass and climbed up. As soon as he climbed to the top, he was fiddled with by a white finger. It flapped its wings angrily and made a rustling sound, but reluctantly fell back to the walnut tabletop, turned around twice, turned over and started repeating the previous actions.
The windows were dazzling, and emerald green leaves were hanging from the edge of the window. Downstairs, Mrs. Camille was trimming the flowering branches of the bushes. The flowerbeds in the courtyard were left over from the Grudin period, but Mrs. Camille was Antti Tina is a senior aristocratic gardener specially hired from Ampersel. His wife is not used to the hot climate of Tonigel, but she praises the character of the Nobleman Antitina and thinks she is a hundred miles away. The true demure lady in her, her etiquette style is no less than that of a princess of the country, and it is very likely that she has taken a fancy to such a master, this proud lady is willing to nod and agree to go to the poor country led by the firs.
“Brando, you…you really didn’t blame me, did you?” In the study, Alorz’s rare-it can even be said to be a rare low eyebrow looking at Brando pleasingly, with a tall and big hair color on the side The snow-white male looked at this scene inexplicably surprised. When did this female tyrannosaurus have such a meek side in his memory? Among the three major scourges of the Dragon Clan, Aloz is about to occupy the top of the list. If she is passed on as she is now, I am afraid no one will believe him. He felt that this must be an illusion, or the sun outside today was too big and it dazzled his eyes.
Strangely speaking, after the end of summer, the temperature does not drop but rises. The weather has been hot by one day recently, as if it had returned to the hottest days in the midsummer.
It hasn’t rained for more than two weeks.
“Lord Lord, Miss Aloz is not to blame for this matter, it is my negligence.” Metis said quickly and softly.
Brando glanced at the little silver elf princess. He knew in his heart that this incident was mostly the negligence of the little dragon. She used the star-shaped stone as a stool at the time. Later, when she went to save people, she completely forgot about it. Most of Medissa didn’t notice it, and even let Anlek seize the opportunity. Now that Qian disappeared in the explosion, the little mother dragon was worried all day long, but Brando did not expect that she would care about her attitude so much, which made him a little angry. In fact, it was not Qian that he was worried about. When the star-shaped stone exploded, Milos’ myth appeared and protected everyone present in time. The father of the frost giant also confirmed that the mountain girl was not buried in the explosion.
If the words of a deity are not enough to trust, then the Azure Spear was not found in the ruins later proved the same fact from the side. The question now is where Akane has disappeared, but this is not the main problem. Few of Eruin’s strength can beat her, so Brando is not very worried about what will happen to the mountain girl. If according to Milos, she did not die in the big explosion, it was probably delayed because of something. Now the knights and mercenaries sent from the territory and Lantonilan to find people also set off, and the dead frost forest is nearby. In such a big place, now because of the explosion, there will be news. I believe that news will come back soon.
Although he is still very worried about Akane’s state, he is not yet furious because of this incident.
But what he really troubled was the death of Anlek.
As soon as Anlek died, the news that he was the dragon of darkness could not be concealed. This incident was always a hidden danger for him. Now he really wants to know who is in charge of Anlek, but he wants to get away from it. It is obviously impossible to find that person out of the crowd. He glanced at the small female dragon with low eyebrows. The man next to Aloz was also a giant dragon. It is said that he came to catch her from the Huilong clan. He was imprisoned because of the fact that this guy was suspected of cheating in exams. This was also her own responsibility. But it is indeed pitiful enough.
He couldn’t help shook his head and replied softly: “It’s nothing, how long will you go back this time?”
If he remembers correctly, the Dragon Clan’s confinement is based on hundreds of years. If Aloz commits too serious things and the confinement for hundreds of years, isn’t it that the relationship between him and the Dragon Clan is all wasted. .
“It’s probably going to be closed for three hundred years.” The little mother dragon began to replied grimly, but soon regained her energy, and replied grinningly: “But it doesn’t matter, they can’t hold me, I can run out soon. ”
Brando almost didn’t get scared to death. He glanced at the white-haired man. Fortunately, the latter looked at the sky with both eyes, as if I hadn’t heard anything. He breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t know why this guy looked like this, it was mostly related to the little female dragon. He couldn’t help but glared at the latter, saying that you want to escape from prison and get out of prison. Don’t say it in public. what. Even if you are not afraid, what if others think that I am conspiring with you? In case the dragon race came to ask the teacher, Valhalla would be ten times stronger than it is now.
Seeing his look, Aloz rolled his eyes immediately, which meant: “I know, it’s true!”
Then the little dragon wailed for a while, and said a few words that are not painful or itchy, in short, “You can’t forget me!” “I’ll be back soon!” things like, and then It was finally taken away by the white-haired man. Then Medissa also said quietly. The words seemed to mention that Veronica wanted to see him. Brando knew that the female army commander was about to rush back to the empire this time. The task was successfully completed for her, but it is strange to say that Brando has often seen a worried look on the opponent’s face recently. He nodded in response, and soon there were only two in the house again. personal.
After the study was quiet, Brando turned his eyes out of the window again.
A row of bushes is separated from the flowerbed. Next to the stables, Kuran is staring at the people who are grooming the Enlek horses of two tall horses. The dappled sunlight falls through the dense branches of the oak trees on the gray uniform of the old swordsman. It makes him look like a retired old colonel, but the princess intends to hide the news of Dnell’s hands from Brando and the people below. Brando knows what Kuran may already know, although He didn’t say anything, but he also seemed a bit discouraged. After all, on the one hand, he is his loyal kingdom, on the other hand, his old master. His position in the castle is getting closer and closer to an old housekeeper, and Brando can also help. This old swordsman’s temperament was due to his grandfather’s relationship on the one hand, and also because he himself actually regarded Kuran more as Tonigel’s guest than his subordinate.
A little further away is the white city wall of Firwood Castle, which is covered with creepers and looks green. There is a staircase leading to the walkway on the city wall, where there are several guards on patrol. The female wall and crenellations are arranged outside the walkway. These defenses are connected with towering arrow towers at the corners. The crossbowman’s dazzling helmet gleamed at the door of the arrow tower, and a crossbowman seemed to be leaning on the door frame and bragging with his colleagues.
Outside the city wall, is a main street in Fir City, but the thatched huts on both sides of the street have now been demolished, and a more solid and beautiful wood and stone permanent building has been built. The figures on the white streets are fascinating, as small as ants. A little further away, there are only patches of red roofs, and the canopies of arbor are staggered in between, like clumps of parsley in the city.
Brando watched this scene, and the boredom in his heart finally dissipated, and a sense of accomplishment gradually rose. If Fir City was indeed a shabby country place a year ago, but now at least there is a real city. a feeling of. At least he has been to Brunoson and Maggie Tan. Compared with these top cities in the south, Fir Tree City is comparable in urban style and even more prosperous, and these changes are not seen even in the game. He had brought it personally. Of course, he also understands that it is not him who actually created all of this with his own hands, but Antitina and Roman-to be precise, a certain merchant lady who is still acting a little inconspicuously occupies this heavy credit. More important position.
It was she who personally proposed the entire revival plan, and then personally brought Tonigel the prosperous business today. Today, the link from Grieshamn to Amperel connects the entire north, and countless merchant ships sail on this channel every day. Under the care of the Shining Naga, this channel has become the entire Eruin in the past six months. One of the safest waterways, because it is well-known among various chambers of commerce. His agreement with Queen Hanlu has not yet been revealed in military and political terms, but it has been the first to smell the opportunity for businessmen, which is not surprising, because they are the most sensitive group of people in human history.
A steady stream of cargo is being transported to Firland via this channel today, and then transferred from Fir City to the trade wind ring. Don’t worry that these cargoes will not find a place to go. The Black Forest is a truly fertile land waiting to be developed. In just two months, the students and subordinates recalled by Master Bailu from various places explored two or three mineral deposits in the forest, including silver, gold, copper and even mithril. There are also the best forest farms there. Countless prey, various precious plants, fertile soil with thousands of years of humic deposits. In the past, this forest stopped the pioneers due to the harsh environment and terrifying monsters, but now, the fire of order in the center of the trade wind ring has been ignited. With the entire Kalanga Mountains as the center, order is becoming stable again. , The druids and tree elves also joined Brando’s chariot, opening the last door for the Eruins.
Materials shipped from the entire north are accelerating to turn these buried treasures into reality. Merchant ships gathered in the harbor carry them back from the original way, and then turn them into the manpower, technology and magic that Brando urgently needs. Industrial resources. This is like a waterway flowing with gold, and everyone on this waterway now benefits from it. As long as they have the strength or wisdom, he can get what he wants from it, because they have a generous person. The fiancée of your lord.
这一切都是罗曼的功劳,虽然离了安蒂缇娜这位有些迷糊的商人小姐未必能将整个托尼格尔的春耕秋种节日祭典安排得井井有条,但至少眼下这繁荣的商业光景,以及城中时时刻刻人满为患、住满了商人的旅店,还有港口中如云的帆影,都是她一笔一笔生意谈下来的。从最早时的一无所有,凭借空口白牙说服商会的信任,从一艘帆船抵达格里斯港,满载着货物离开,都是由这个平日里看起来有些不怎么着调的小姑娘亲自去做,并做成的。
布兰多自己很少在意这方面的事情,但他忽然觉得自己很幸运,因为就好像是忽然之间,这一切就出现在了他的面前。他没有操一点心,商人小姐已经给他安排得妥妥帖帖。而今托尼格尔的一切都已经走上正轨,旁人皆以为他要等到拿到了让德内尔的土地才能大展宏图,但殊不知埃鲁因的未来,早已在他面前铺开了。
那个从一开始就陪伴在他身边的小姑娘,为他画好了最重要的一张蓝图。
他忍不住去看罗曼。商人小姐正将白葱一样的手指头收了回去,托住自己的脸蛋,乌溜溜的眼珠子瞪得直直的,饶有兴趣地看着金龟子又重新爬上去。当它重新爬到顶点的时候,她又使坏地将它弄下来,这么重复了好几次,好像乐此不疲一样。商人小姐穿着一件贵族长裙,但勾着背坐在长背椅上,把裙子弄得皱巴巴的,还挽着袖子,十分成功地把淑女的装束穿出了乡下小姑娘的效果。
如果叫卡米尔夫人看到她这个样子,大概又得叹息摇头了,其实布兰多知道,她曾一度以为安蒂缇娜才是他的未婚妻,不过后来好在幕僚小姐亲自去了结了这个误会,他至今还记得卡米尔夫人那个古怪的眼神。布兰多虽然即使面对一位真正的神祇时也丝毫不感到畏惧,但那位古板的老太太那惊异的神色还是让他不得不退缩了,临阵脱逃了,据说那应该是他在这个世界的第一次不战而退。
Brando sat side by side with the merchant lady, because they were sitting so close, he could almost feel the body temperature of each other, and there was a scent of a girl on the tip of his nose. What happened, subconsciously put his hand around Roman’s waist. Miss Merchant’s waist was light and fluttering, so thin that she could hold it with a full grip. She seemed to feel Brando’s sudden emotions. She looked back at him and smiled, not revealing it, but kicking her foot comfortably. Then he turned around and fiddled with the poor chafer.
Brando was thinking about some messy things, but suddenly realized that although Roman likes to care about the whereabouts of every copper when dealing with merchants, she is not stingy with the money in her hands. In fact, she is not only talking about it seriously. It’s incredible to be generous to anyone when doing business. He turned his head to ask this question. The merchant lady didn’t know how many times the scarab was pulled from the hourglass, and she answered naturally:
“Talking about business is like going to the battlefield. You have to compare the baht and baht, but you need to keep your eyes on the long-term investment. You can’t get a good harvest if you care about it.”
Brando was startled, as if he was a little surprised: “Who told you this, and it was your aunt?”
“That’s not true. Auntie doesn’t do business. I figured it out by myself. How about it? Isn’t it great?”
Brando can only sigh, this is probably the so-called talent. However, Roman’s eyes flashed, and he just became proud, and suddenly he was a little bit disappointed: “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen my aunt for a long time. Brando, you said to help me find my aunt. There is no news yet.”
It’s okay for Roman not to say it. Brando burned badly when he said that. There is no news, it’s just that he didn’t even look for it. In fact, before Roman mentioned this, he almost forgot about such a person. After all, Aunt Jenny was like Brando’s family in this world. There was always a barrier to him. Like a character in the background, although he was asked to go to Buche to inquire about it, it was just that, in fact, even Antitina hadn’t told it. Later, Buche responded to the news, saying that there was no clue, and the incident ceased since then.
After all, he has too many things to do. Half a year ago, he was almost devoted to pulling Eruin back from the trajectory of demise. The time was so tight that he was so nervous that he almost didn’t even have time to breathe. , Let alone find someone.
But now, thinking about it, thinking about what Roman did for him, he looked at the mercantile lady’s face that had no scheming in front of him, and he was really ashamed.
“There will be news soon. Eruin is this old, and your aunt must be looking for your whereabouts. Now that you are so famous, we can find her as long as we pay attention to it.” He squeezed. Roman’s face comforted.
Roman chuckled, squinting his eyes and smiling like a little fox.
“Gluck, Brando, you are guilty.”
“Ahem,” Brando blushed. He almost forgot that although the merchant lady had no scheming, her instincts were terribly sensitive. And the point is, she really didn’t save him face at all, he couldn’t help looking at this guy a little bit angry. But unexpectedly, the latter raised his head seriously, shook his head vigorously and said: “In fact, there is nothing. Brando has a great goal, and Roman also has a great goal. When I talked about my goal before, that I’m afraid that even Freya would giggle, but only Brando, you believe I can do it, you never laughed at me—”
“Brando can tolerate Roman’s goals, so Roman can also tolerate Brando’s goals.”
“Brando, do you know, my aunt said, the ideal of a mortal is like the stars in the summer night, it looks out of reach, dazzling, but if we dare to reach out, then we will definitely catch the starlight in our hands, because The starry summer night belongs to everyone who looks up at the starry sky.”
Brando looked at Roman’s eyes blankly, as if the bright eyes were really reflecting the bright starry sky of Buche that night. He used to think that this little girl who was not very tuned had been following him since Buche, for These things I did were just based on her preferences, because it was like Roman’s character. For the people she was close to, she always didn’t ask whether it was right or wrong. But he never thought, she really always believed that he could do it, as she said-it was the stars in the summer night sky, but as long as you reach out to catch it, you will definitely catch the great starlight in your hand. .
Even if the star he wants is the most dazzling one in the night sky.
“Do you know what I want to do, little Roman?” he asked suddenly.
Roman nodded seriously and replied word by word.
“I know, Brando, you want to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin and become Eruin’s true King.”
“puff–”
…
