The Amber Sword - 879. Chapter 879 Act Thirty Seven Two Letters II

The corridor is as dilapidated, narrow and dim as in memory. Between the dusty planks and planks there are pores left by disrepair. Brando came to a door with his impression and stopped to ask: “Is this one?”

“Yeah.” A voice behind him replied softly, the voice of the lady of the staff.

Freya followed the two of them, frowning and looking at the place. They stood on the aisle, and the wooden boards made a creaking sound, and the air was filled with a choking smell of dust. If she wanted to come, even if it was The stables in Butch’s countryside were also slightly cleaner than here, and she could hardly imagine that someone would live in such a place.

“It looks like it’s locked,” Brando said with a handle on the door.

“I locked it before I left.” Antitina replied softly.

“Have a key?”

“Well, I’ve always carried it with me.” Antitina fumbled, and took out a copper key. Brando has a good memory, and at a glance she recognized that the chain with the key was her original one. Necklace, he remembered that he had seen this necklace once or twice. There should be a beautiful crystal pendant on the necklace, but this pendant has long since disappeared. He took the key and weighed it in his hand, a little surprised: “Why would you bring this with you?”

“I don’t know when it will be used.” The lady of the staff replied seriously.

“It looks like it really came in handy.” Brando smiled, and after a glance at her, the lady of the staff also smiled briefly.

He turned the key to open the door. Behind the wooden door was a huge black hole opened by a monster, waiting for the prey to be caught. The three of them stood at the door for a while before adapting to the suddenly dimmed light. This room was as small and dusty as in the impression, but it was kept very clean. Obviously its owner carefully arranged before leaving. Something. “Antitina, did you live here before?” Freya looked at the room in a bit of surprise. When she was in Buche, even the old warehouse of the militia was much more spacious and brighter than here. She always thought The lady of the staff is of noble origin, but she did not expect that she would live in such a place before following Brando.

“Um.”

“But I heard Brando say that you are the daughter of the noble family…”

“My lord is not wrong, it used to be.” Antitina replied: “But after my father disappeared, the creditors came to the house, and in order to pay off the foreign debt, I had to change the property to the seller. I remember shortly after that, My mother died in depression, and her life became strangled. In order to reduce expenses, this was also a last resort.”

“I’m sorry, Antitina, I didn’t expect you to have such a past, I shouldn’t have mentioned it.” Freya replied with some embarrassment.

Antitina smiled, not caring.

Brando came to the desk and lit the remaining candles. The candlelight was like a bean, barely brightening the room. The room was full of dust, but Antitina walked to the bed and opened the curtain of the bed, revealing a clean wooden bed with a slight musty smell. Brando glanced at her with some surprise, his eyes full of praise. Freya, who was also from a humble background, didn’t feel so uncomfortable in this small and dilapidated room. Seeing the actions of the two of them, she quietly joined in and cleaned up the room. The three of them had not spoken since the last time. After leaving Braggs, it seemed that there was rarely such a time. The room seemed a bit quiet for a while, with only a few minor noises left, and it didn’t take long for them to clean the house.

Antitina opened the window in the direction of the desk. She glanced at the window lattice, frowned, and closed it gently. She opened the drawer again and suddenly said, “Someone has entered the house.”

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

“After I left, someone came into this room.”

Brando frowned, “What’s the matter?”

“There should be more than one person. They came in through the window. After they came in, they checked the drawers.” She walked aside and opened the cabinet. “My cabinet should have also been checked. The book inside was turned over. They seemed to be looking for it. what.”

“Are you sure, Antitina?” Brando asked alertly.

“Well, the things I put on my own will never remember them wrong. Someone must have touched them.”

“Would you like to ask the people around you?” Freya asked in a low voice.

“No, they definitely won’t know anything,” the lady of the staff shook her head: “Whether it is a thief or other uninvited guests, they will definitely not deliberately let people discover it.”

“Any clue?”

“It’s a bit strange. It seems that these people came earlier. We didn’t pay attention to footprints or other things when we cleaned the house. The dust accumulation in the house is natural, which means that these people have not been in the past few months at least. Patronized.”

“A year ago?” Brando thought for a moment. At that time, they seemed to have just left Braggs, and their reputation was not obvious. It seemed unlikely that anyone would notice them at that time. He thought about it for a year and replied: “If it was that time, it could only be a thief.”

Antitina smiled slightly: “The thief gentlemen are afraid they will go home empty-handed regrettably.”

This sentence made Brando’s mind suddenly puzzled. Most of the people living on Grave Digging Street are the poorest group of people in the city. It is unlikely that those people who are in the gray area of the city do not know this. One point, in fact, thieves rarely visit such places, because most of them know that these places are unprofitable. He hesitated, and suddenly heard Freya say: “There is only one bed here, Brando.”

Brando was taken aback, and then he realized this embarrassing thing, he almost forgot, before this room was lived by Antitina alone, there was only one bed in the room.

Antitina was stunned, and obviously realized this. After all, all the furniture in this room is a desk, a small cabinet, two chairs and a bed. It is really hard not to make people think of it. In such a humble environment, the question of how to rest at night. “You two are going to sleep together. Anyway, with my current strength, it doesn’t matter whether I can sleep one night.” Brando thought for a while, and arranged like this.

“That won’t work,” Antitina shook her head: “You are the lord, how can the servants let the lord suffer for him? Besides, this is also because of my inconsideration.”

Antitina disagreed, and Freya naturally wouldn’t agree, her skin was not thick enough to be selfishly enjoyable by herself.

Brando seemed to have expected this. He looked at the two and sighed: “I’ll talk about it later. I’ll go get you some food first.”

Antitina nodded slightly.

In the game, there are many places to sell food in big cities like Braggs. As long as you can afford it, you can even buy food from the workshops on the street. But here, if you want to get food I’m afraid I have to go to the hotel or tavern, or the bakery in the city, and further away, there is only the mill manor outside the city. There are many people in the inn and tavern, and no one knows whether they have been put in the eyeliner. Brando is naturally reluctant to set foot in it easily, and there is no baker’s workshop on the road near Gravedigger Avenue. But this trouble is not difficult for him. The most indispensable thing in such slums is idle idlers. It took him a few Thors to find a young man who was willing to help him run errands, and he showed his hand in front of the other party. He carved a nightingale’s mark on the wall with his sword, so that the guy didn’t dare to ignore the money and do nothing.

Of course, in terms of his current status, he is not short of these money, but he can’t make the lady of the staff and the future Valkyrie go hungry. He is a nobleman of the kingdom anyway, how can he behave in front of the ladies next to him? To be so incompetent.

The young man saw the deep mark he had carved on the stone wall, and he showed a look of uncertainty. Brando knew that the other party was not afraid of his own swordsmanship, but the symbol he had carved. Most of the people who grew up in places like this have dealt with the brothers of thieves walking in the gray area, and even some of them have eyeliners, so the boy must recognize that the mark left by him is the Golan-Elson Brotherhood of thieves The relatively advanced method of communication between him, he used to learn the knowledge of the nightingale in the game, although it is only a taste, but it is completely enough to scare this little experienced boy.

The young man was frightened by him. After taking his money, he stood there with a little shrunk and watched him carefully and asked, “My lord, is there anything else to order?”

“Do you live near here?” Brando asked.

The boy nodded.

“Do you know the occupants of that room?” Brando asked, pointing to the window of the second room next to Antitina.

“I know, there is a dead old man who lives there. Others call him Ye Xiao. He used to be a loan shark. Later, he didn’t know who had offended him, so he hid here.” The boy replied simply.

Brando raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn’t expect that he would be a well-informed guy if he caught someone casually. But then he was relieved. These young people from the lower class of society have nothing to do and wander on the street all day long. Except for a few who suffer from hardship, most of them are unwilling to be apprentices and be controlled by others. These times Information is blocked, and it is normal for these people to be well informed. It’s just that among the rumors they know, nine out of ten are rumors, but some local customs can find them just by asking them.

“Where is this one?” He pointed to the one next to Antitina again.

“This room has been empty for a long time, my lord.”

“Where is it next?” Brando moved in his heart and pointed to Antitina’s room. The teenager hesitated, as if thinking for a moment, before replied: “The owner of this room seems to be a downright noble lady, but I haven’t seen her for a long time. I heard that she is in poor health, probably because of illness.”

You just died of illness. Brando thought madly, but when he saw the boy talking about it as if he was talking about eating and drinking water, he knew that so-called life and death were commonplace in such a place. In slums like Gravedigger Street, many people freeze to death and starve to death every year. Everyone understands these things. The nobles also turn their eyes and close their eyes and don’t care, as if they should have been. Brando sighed, thinking at least this guy didn’t lie, he really knew this place well.

He asked some non-marginal questions, and then suddenly asked: “Are people’visiting’ here often?”

The patronage in his mouth would naturally not be a visit in an open manner, but the thieves who were talking about, the young man understood naturally, and he couldn’t help but glance at this very stylish gentleman in awe. I decided in my heart that this was a legendary nightingale, otherwise how could he draw the symbol that he didn’t even know very well—the symbol must be the kind among thieves, but it was more complicated than he knew. many. Now he was talking more about the black words between the Brotherhoods, which made him more and more convinced of this.

“Of course not, my lord,” the young man hurriedly replied, “There is no such thing as oil and water here. They are unlikely to see such a place, except for the poor and destitute mercenaries and the old and frail prostitutes, who would be happy to live. In such a place?”

“There are always people who don’t open their eyes.”

The young man thought for a while. He probably understood Brando’s meaning. He thought hard for a while before he remembered one thing: “My lord, someone from the patrol cavalry came here a year ago. By the way, they seem to be. Come to find the noble lady.”

Brando remembered that they had dealt with those guys here. Is it because of this, he frowned and asked some related questions, but the boy couldn’t say anything anymore, just like Antti What Tina said, whether it is a thief or an uninvited guest, is unlikely to be willing to let people notice their whereabouts. Finally he shook his head, and threw another silver coin to the boy: “Okay, go ahead, go early, go back early, I’m still hungry.”

“Sir, don’t worry, I promise you won’t squander any of you.” The young man hurriedly replied in fear.

“That’s not necessary. You buy food for three people. Most of them are yours. I’m not short of money, but you’d better not trouble me.” Brando replied deliberately, coldly.

He asked the boy’s name again. After the other party answered, he quickly ran away, as if he was afraid to stay by his side for a while. Brando couldn’t help sighing. Fortunately, some of the old tricks in the game have not yet been completed. Forget the light, in this world for a year, it is too easy to be a noble master, except for the swordsmanship that is the foundation of the body, other crafts are about to be unfamiliar. In the past, these things were done by Antitina, Fro or Kaglisi properly. Today, they rarely do it by themselves, and they have recovered a little bit of the past.

He stopped and looked at the view of Braggs before the evening. The western sky seemed to be red, and the clouds were full of golden colors. This scene was not much different from a year ago. But at this time, he heard a sneer: “It seems that Lord Earl is really well-informed, and he is not unfamiliar with these low-level things.”

Brando suddenly raised his head. The house where Antitina lives is located by the Buche River across Braggs. There is a small yard behind the house, next to the Buche River, where there was originally A downward staircase can lead to the river, which is equivalent to a small pier. People with a little wealth will tie a small boat to the pillar beside the ladder, and they have the right to be another way of traveling. However, the tenants here are naturally not so luxurious. The stairs outside the courtyard have been abandoned for many years. The gaps between the stone steps are full of weeds that are nearly one person high, and at the moment there is an additional figure in the grass.

He squinted his eyes and recognized the other person at once: “Test?” That person was Viscount Testee. He had met once in Bragg’s auction house, although the appearance of the other party was already very big. After the change, a blond hair became gray and gray somehow, with many wrinkles on his face, as if he suddenly grew older for decades, but he recognized the contours of his face and the unique look in his eyes, and he called out the other person’s name in one go. .

“Unexpectedly, Lord Earl would even recognize me.” Teste stood on the stone steps, feeling a little bit. He was fighting against each other in the underground auction of this city, and he almost killed this person. He didn’t expect In a mere year, the opponent’s strength growth has reached this point. He used to think he was a genius, but now he understands what a real genius is, but these have no meaning to him. He came here just to seek relief.

Brando heard the other party’s hoarse voice, and asked with some confusion: “How did you become like this?”

“It’s a long story. That experience was a nightmare for me,” Tester replied. “But speaking of it, you have something to do with Lord Earl.”

“What does it have to do with me?” Brando frowned. He remembered that the only time he had dealt with this guy was in the underground auction. After that, there was no intersection. He had seen the opponent appear before and thought He came to avenge his revenge at that time.

“If Lord Earl has time to listen to my nonsense, I can just tell you this story slowly. In return, I will tell Lord Earl some secrets about the year.” Tester replied in a hoarse voice.

Brando was very puzzled, thinking that this guy came to him just to tell a story, isn’t this guy crazy? However, looking at him like this, it may be mad for eight points, but he is quite interested in the secrets of the other party. He faintly thinks that it may be related to the unity of all things, and now the biggest threat to him is nothing. Too that damn organization. He nodded and asked, “Here?”

“Just stay here, there is no one left or right. It’s a torment for me not to delay a moment. I really don’t care to find a separate place.” Tester replied.

Brando looked at this guy, wondering what kind of experience made him this way, but Test was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, “It’s because of the Lionheart Sword.”

“Lion Heart Sword?”

Teste nodded, and then began by searching for the Lionheart Sword for the unity of all things, and slowly told the story.
