The Amber Sword - 843. Chapter 843 The Fourth Act Wizard, Dragon and Empire

Outside the study is a promenade with a terrace. The stone pillars supporting the ceiling at intervals are covered with moss. The sunlight passing through the green shade of the oak tree leaves a spot of gold on the wall and floor, and on the handrails of the terrace. A few chattering spotted finch fell. Brando gave Roman a good education before he opened the door and walked out. The birds immediately fluttered their wings and flew away. He watched this scene and closed the door with a backhand’click’, as if subconsciously blurting out. Want to say:

“Aki, prepare the carriage, let’s go to Port Gris.”

But just as soon as he spoke, Brando was stunned. In his memory, the girl with a long ponytail always leans against the second stone pillar in the corridor with her spear, and sometimes feeds the zebra finches with bread crumbs. He had seen such scenes several times. The girl was very quiet, but as beautiful as a character in a picture scroll.

But now, the second stone pillar was empty, with only the mottled sunlight shining on the moss.

Brando sighed.

He couldn’t help but smiled bitterly.

And far away, the lady of the staff who was holding a stack of parchment papers in the darkness at the end of the corridor also sighed quietly. She saw her lord standing there with a look of loss, and she understood. Her knuckles were a little white, and she almost accidentally pleated the parchment, but those were important documents in the territory for a period of time. Lord Lord hadn’t seen them yet. She was taken aback by her actions and hurriedly let go. , But accidentally scattered the rolled parchment on the ground.

Antitina was stunned, bit her lower lip, and then bent down to pick up the parchments one by one. She stupefied and touched the necklace in her neckline. It was a necklace that had lost its pendant, but she seemed to feel that the pendant was still in place and pressed it in the empty place. But finally reacted, the girl looked at Brando in the distance with a somewhat complicated expression, and silently retreated.

Brando stood in front of the study for several minutes before he came back to his senses. It seems that since then, he has become accustomed to the silent mountain girl next to him. He used this to tease Qian before. , Asked her how she could get married in the future, but he didn’t expect that one day she would really be gone, but he felt a little at a loss. “What’s wrong…” Brando couldn’t help pressing his temple, “Brando, Brando, Akane can’t be in your life forever, she also has her own future.”

But when he thought about it, he felt a little bored again. He shook his head, temporarily forgetting the idea.

Veronica and her group settled in the hostel in Port Gris. It took only half a day to take a carriage from Fir Castle to Port Gris. Brando understood that this lady did not want to stay in Fir City because of her own considerations, after all. He is the commander of the empire and cannot get too close to a foreign earl. It’s not surprising, not to mention that the empire’s wanted criminal, St. Mephistopheles, still lives in Brando’s castle. Feeling and reasonable, she should stay away from at least one gesture.

But what Brando really wonders is why Veronica wants to see him now. It has been more than two weeks since arriving in Tonigel. It stands to reason that she should have returned to the Empire long ago, and her mission here has come to an end. She was also accompanied by the empire’s eldest son and a group of folding sword knights.

He really couldn’t figure out the thoughts of the female corps commander, and didn’t understand what she was hesitating about.

With such suspicion, he walked down the corridor, thumped down the stairs, and passed the hall outside, where several Shire’s apprentices were arguing about some magic-related issues-because Shire’s mage tower was built in the castle. So his apprentices also live in the rooms of the people in the castle. Fortunately, the world of wizards is strict, so these apprentices did not bring too much trouble to life in the castle. When several apprentices saw Brando, they all Stand up respectfully and salute the young lord, Brando also nodded in response. These people were selected from the heirs of adventurers or local little nobles, themselves or the family behind them. Most of them are very grateful to the Lord Lord for such an opportunity. Really inherited wizards are very rare in Vaughan. Most of the academic wizards are inherited from Buja’s line, but the knowledge of the Silver People is so easy to learn? Even in Cruz, only scholars like Shiduo, the proud of heaven, are eligible to be favored by the Silver People. It is precisely this way that a wizard with inheritance has a very high social status in Eruin and Cruz, far better than Those arena warlocks.

As for the Shire, it happens to come from the inheritance of the Dark Tower wizard. Even if it is only a branch of the Buja wizard, it is enough to be called an apprentice of such a mentor. For the nobles, it is simply a pie falling from the sky, let alone adventurers who are destitute and living in distress, so it is not surprising that they have such an idea.

Antitina also took this point. She used the duty of an assistant to persuade Brando to treat this as an opportunity to win hearts and distribute the scarce quotas to those who are truly loyal to him, for example. The daughter of the red bronze dragon Leto, Su, by virtue of such a connection, firmly tied all the reliable people to the chariot of shared interests with him.

But Brando himself doesn’t think so. In his eyes, this is not just a vanity fair. These young apprentices should be Tonigel’s future. Without the wizarding regiment’s army, Warnd would always be considered a third-rate army. , Not to mention the coveted floating fleets of the Cruz people and the wind elves, each of which is controlled by a wizard. It can even be said bluntly that wizards are Warend’s high-tech units, each training one costs a lot of money, but it is definitely worth it.

And this was only in the 1940s, the age when the Slate Wars had not yet begun.

Of course, some of Antitina’s statements also have her reason, not to mention that Charles mentioned more than once that Sue has quite an excellent talent, so Brando also adopted some of them. In fact, he himself is very optimistic about that in people’s impressions. It seems that there is only a girl with healthy wheat-colored skin and fine braids on her head. The calmness she showed in the Battle of Ampersel is simply amazing. This is the most basic quality of a wizard, but few people do it well. When Sue was not a wizard, she was better than most wizards on this point. Even more outstanding, it can be seen that as long as she can feel the line of law, one day she will have a boundless future.

And as an additional benefit of this decision, as the lady of the staff said, the red bronze dragon Reto really appreciates him. The veteran who has experienced the November War can be insulted in the face of life and death, but this daughter is his only one. The weakness. He originally wanted to leave an estate for Su, but he did not expect to encounter Madara’s invasion. Now Su has the opportunity to become a wizard. Although he will not say that he has a prominent position in the future, at least he has no worries about food and clothing. The key is not to use it. Seeing people’s faces under the fence is particularly satisfying for Reto.

But there are also some negative effects. The guy secretly came to inquire about his meaning several times and asked him if he was interested in his daughter. The guy thought that he could not see his temptation, and Brando felt that his IQ was affected. Seriously scorned, he drove the opponent back to Mintai collar several times without angrily.

In fact, this is not a case. He was very annoyed at one time. I don’t know for what reason. It seems that women have a much higher chance of possessing magical talents than men in Warnd, although male wizards are often more likely to become true geniuses. It’s like the Shire and Li Woods, but the base of female wizards is greater than that of male wizards. This is an indisputable fact. This directly led to the prosperity of the yin and the decline of the yin and the yang under the Shire. It was as if there were any kind of subordinates for what kind of master there was, and it was once suspicious. This was actually just a method for the lord to open the harem. That’s it.

Especially in such a poor country where the magic is not prosperous, the rumors are even more outrageous, but what makes him laugh and cry is that the little lords and little nobles are still happy, and they keep stuffing him with the so-called’quite beautiful’ nobles. Daughter, as for whether it’s really pretty, Brando really doesn’t comment, anyway, he has asked Charles to brush back all those who have no magic talent, but what makes him a little depressed is that this incident has become his little A laughingstock in the circle, Medissa and Antitina both made fun of him more than once.

This is really a sluggish main program, making the retainers rampant.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but shook his head. While walking out of the arch of the hall, he suddenly frowned and smelled the scent of barbecue. He stopped, turned around and asked, “What does this smell?”

The expressions of several Shire’s apprentices changed, and they hesitated one after another.

“Shire didn’t teach you silence, did you?” Brando had actually guessed a bit and couldn’t help but asked angeredly.

Sure enough, he just finished speaking, one of the small round faces, some cute freckles on the tip of the nose, the girl who is said to be the youngest daughter of the president of the Silversmiths Guild in the city turned pale with fright, and replied hesitantly: “Earl… Lord Earl, Mr. Star didn’t let us say.”

Sure enough, Brando shook his head, and even Aloz was taken away. This guy could still get away with it. But this is a good thing for him. After all, Star has signed a contract with him. Don’t worry about how outrageous the contract is. If Star Zhen is captured back to the Dragon Clan, then he will lose a lot.

He waved his hand to indicate that these little girls don’t need to worry, then turned around and followed the meaty charcoal scent to find it, and he didn’t know what this guy was baking, but I only wished that he would not light up the castle. Last time this guy secretly barbecued at the sawmill, he burned half of the sawmill and made Romance lose a lot of money, but the businessman was okay, but the housekeeper Antetina was heartbroken for a few days. good.

He turned around a corner of the castle full of vines, and he saw Star crouching behind a grape rack, secretly looking after a bonfire. There was an iron shelf on the fire, and a few of them were almost cooked. The prawn, this foodie is holding bottles and cans and applying condiments on it. Needless to say, this set of things must have been stolen from the kitchen. This guy didn’t have much combat power, but his ability to sneak into dogs was first-rate. I’m afraid that even the Master Nightingales among the halflings would be willing to go down in front of him.

Think about it, too, it is not a simple figure to think about the existence of more than a dozen carriages unconsciously under the noses of Veronica and Mephistopheles.

Brando walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder, which shocked Star. He turned around and saw that his round face was full of charcoal. It is hard to imagine this face. A dragon, because it looks just like those bear kids. Star turned pale when he saw Brando, and hurriedly shouted: “I didn’t cut the grape racks for firewood. I didn’t steal these things from the kitchen. They lent me!”

“Very good,” Brando sneered. The flower garden left by Grudin is now Antitina’s treasure. Although he has never seen the noble lady getting angry, he also understands that the calmer the person is, the more calm people start the fire. Children are getting more and more terrible. He couldn’t help but patted Star on the shoulder again with admiration: “You are very courageous, Star, do you know that it is Miss Antitina who is responsible for arranging daily life in Fir Castle?”

“What does it matter?” Star was taken aback, but Brando didn’t expect to get angry, and he felt a lot of confidence at once.

“It’s nothing,” Brando chuckled. “For example, if the kitchen does not arrange a dinner or dinner, it is actually a matter of course. After all, there are too many people, and occasional negligence is possible. Not to mention occasionally, even if It’s actually not a big deal to be like this for three or four days in a row.”

Star opened his mouth wide and his face changed. The little fat man stared at Brando with wide eyes, his face was red and white, and his forehead was shiny with sweat, as if he had never seen the dark side of society.

“Actually, this is not the worst. It is said that some people have eaten something that shouldn’t be eaten by mistake. You know that this place is close to the Black Forest. There are all kinds of materials in the warehouse of the castle, and there are several types that are particularly effective for the dragon. ”

Star almost didn’t get scared to cry. This little fat dragon suddenly felt that it was completely possible. Besides, in his opinion, the lady of the staff was so gloomy and ignorant of anyone, maybe it was already very serious. I can’t get used to him, and I must want to get rid of him quickly. He almost shivered, and reluctantly picked up a grilled shrimp from the charcoal fire. He said to Brando with his nose and tears: “Lord Lord, please don’t expose me. I will ask you to eat shrimp. After eating, we will be people on the same boat.”

“Damn, don’t be so obvious if you drag me into the water.” Brando thought irritably, but he saw the mustard-coated shrimp on the putty paws of this frost young dragon. Feeling familiar, he couldn’t help asking: “Where did you get this shrimp?”

“kitchen.”

“No, your first sentence must not be the truth.” Brando analyzed it empirically: “Have you been to Hippamira’s room?”

The little fat man turned his eyes sharply, shaking his head like a rattle.

Brando grinned very furiously. The few shrimps in Hippamira’s room were the favorite of the priest girl. Although he didn’t know why she liked to raise shrimps, as long as he watched her carefully holding water every day When the tank came out and changed the water, she knew how important this thing was to her. It’s all right now. These shrimps have become Star’s plate of Chinese food, which is completely done once and for all. From now on, Hippamira will not need to get up every morning to change the water.

It’s just that someone or a dragon will pay a heavy price for it.

He glanced at Star with pity, turned around and left, joking, who knows what will happen if he stays with this catastrophe for a while. Unexpectedly, Star was very wink. It seemed that he had seen his irreversible tragic fate from the look on Brando’s face. He hurriedly wrapped up all the shrimps in oil paper and chased after him without speaking, as if he was going to follow Bran. As many as the ends of the world.

“What are you doing?” Brando asked angrily.

Star stuffed a grilled shrimp into his mouth and sucked on his fat fingers twice. He replied angrily, “Lord Lord, do you want to go out?”

“You’re pretty smart,” Brando sneered. “Do you know you’ve gone out to escape?”

“No, Lord Lord, I have signed a contract with you, haven’t you? Now I want to fulfill the contract to protect your thoroughness.” Star thought for a moment, smash it, smash it, and his mouth is full of oily lips: “The castle is very outside. Danger.”

“Dangerous shit!” Brando thought, if it was true that it was not very safe outside the city half a year earlier, but now Tonigel’s security can be said to be the best in the south, there are patrolling cavalry on the avenue, and cavemen in the forest. There is no room for monsters and robbers. Besides, how could ordinary monsters and robbers have gotten him? This guy was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

But he didn’t bother to care about him. The two walked one after the other in the direction of the stables. When passing by the short rose bush that Mrs. Camille was taking care of, Brando suddenly remembered and asked, “Speaking of which, Why didn’t the Dragon Clan send someone to catch you this scourge?”

He originally thought that Star had to be proud of mentioning this issue. After all, even Aloz could not escape the clutches, but he could continue to get away with it. This is a very beautiful thing no matter how he thinks it. And without the restraint of the little dragon, he could obviously be more lawless, but he didn’t expect Star to blink his eyes, looking a little lost.

“What’s the matter?” Brando was slightly startled.

“That’s Alorz’s willingness to go back with them. In fact, we rarely attack each other. If she wants to stay here wholeheartedly, they won’t force it,” Star replied pretendingly, “But Alor Sister Zi still admits to be one of them, so she must follow this rule.”

Brando keenly captured the key point in this sentence: “You won’t really be completely expelled from the dragon family, are you?”

“Cut, what’s good about staying in there, you know to collect some inexplicable things,” Star replied somewhat proudly: “They don’t understand that food is the most important thing in the world, and collecting food is biological. Instinct, how precious gold and silver bright diamonds can be, it’s not about food to fill the stomach.”

“Really, your theory is quite simple.” Brando looked at the little fat dragon with a bit of amusement. He was obviously very unwilling, and he just wanted to pretend to be indifferent: “But for the dragon, he is keen on Collecting food is indeed a bit too…well, too weird. In our legend, the dragons are supposed to be the adventure of standing high on the mountains of treasures with flames and burning the treasures that came to covet them. People, the dragon is a creature that coexists with beauty and danger in our impression.”

“But if this legendary dragon is lying on a rice mountain, if you imagine it, then the appreciation will be greatly reduced.”

“This is prejudice!” Star couldn’t help jumping.
