The Amber Sword

“Wait,” Andrew said, interrupting when he saw Brando whispering, “Lord, what do you mean Valhalla has been in this forest? ”

“Just as the sentence stands.” Brando replied.

Elder Druid shook his head, “Impossible,” he said with certainty, "If Valhalla was in the woods, we wouldn't have noticed a thing --” Andrew suddenly awoke and realized if it was Brando's manipulation, because they were only here for Fania. But without paying attention, so much has been said, and there are some things that are even at the heart of the Niya Messenger. He paused, "My lord, let's get back to the beginning! ”

But Brando shook his head: "We've been talking business," he replied, "and now that Fania has given me full authority over this matter, you can't convince me to leave this territory for half a step.” When he saw Andrew's eyebrows and wanted to talk, he interrupted each other alive: “If there's no need to say anything else, I know you Druids less than you know yourself.” Brando said coldly, "Melting in stone or forest tracking, either way I have a way to get you out, you can try it. ”

When Andrew heard Brando say those two spells, he gave up his intention to forcibly take Fania away. Mortal knowledge of Druid is very shallow, with the obvious exception of the young man in front of him, who, if his thoughts were called out one bite, would certainly not be blank intimidation. And he hesitated, and he said, "So, my lord, what do you mean? As we have made clear, I think you can believe everything we have said, even swear in the name of Lord Nia - we did not mean to hurt Miss Fania, but to take her to complete the ritual necessary to become Druid. ”

“Don't you want to light Valhalla's spark?” Brando asked.

All three Druids are nitrogen.

“What are you trying to say, my lord?” Behind Andrew, a young man named Red has been leaping to try, and now he's finally talking, "of course we want to ignite the spark of Valhalla, one of our main goals in Hesse to monitor the effects of magic on natural boundaries. Druid shares Lord Martha's faith, not to mention the covenant that we have always kept.” He replied, "With all due respect, my lord, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

“I mean very simply,” replied Brando, "Valhalla has always been in the forest!” He looked at Fania and suddenly reacted: “I see, there is about a misunderstanding between you. In fact, the so-called opening of the Virgin in the Woods is not about igniting a spark, but about opening some of Valhalla's abilities.” The young man said he had stopped here, and his whole person leaned back on the chair in his spare time, revealing a fun look, his fingers crossed and answered: “Let's make a deal. ”

“What deal? ”

“Help me find Valhalla, I'll light a spark for you -" Brando replied word for word.

“So you became Valhalla's natural lord as a pioneering knight?” Andrew looked at this young man and realized for the first time what he really thought: “Actually, this proposal has not yet been tried, and we at Druid have no desire for power, but," he replied, turning his head, "I would like to repeat that Valhalla is not in the forest, it is just a legend. ”

Brando shook his head, “Well, let's put it another way. I don't want you to help me find Valhalla,” he replied, "I want you to go deep into the forest and help me find a relic. ”

“Ruins? ”

Are there ruins in the forest?

Red whispered, "Elder, was the last time we found that relic outside the Wind Ring? ”

Andrew suddenly reacted, and he looked up at Brando and asked, “Are you sure that the relic is Valhalla? But I've seen that relic with my own eyes, but it's just a fragmented rubble, and it's normal for humans to go deep into the black forest a few times and leave the ruins of the town behind. But we've done a thorough search of the area where the relics are, and we haven't found anything at all about the spark. ”

Brando listened and checked in his head. He asked, "Are you talking about the wind rings that surround the monsoon walkways in the Kalanga Mountains? ”

Elder Druid nodded for a moment.

“That's right,” Brando answered with certainty. Valhalla, as he knows, is built on the monsoon corridors of the Karanga Mountains, so the abundance of rain from the sea during the summer months can only thrive on the crops grown in the territory. But that's not the point, Brando, holding on to the excitement, “How long ago did you find that relic? ”

Andrew was seriously infected and couldn't help but get serious: “Almost three years ago. ”

“Can you confirm the direction now? ”

“It's hard to say," Andrew shook his head, "in fact, it was an accident to discover that ruin when we went deep along the Kalanga Mountains to investigate the ecology deep in the Black Forest. And now, if we're going to find that place, I'm afraid we'll have to resend the expedition to confirm it, but with an approximate direction, it won't take long,” He looks up, "and the grown-ups will go with him? ”

Brando shook his head. “No, I don't have time for this right now," he replied, "this deal is so done, you send someone to find this place and let me know as soon as you get the exact information ——" he looks at the three Druids. The deal was in fact unilaterally in his favor, but Brando knew that the Druids never considered it that way, and that the guys who lived in the Black Forest were blind to fame and had to figure out what they were interested in to deal with.

And the spark of Valhalla, for these Druids, is an irrefutable temptation.

Andrew nodded with the two young men behind him, and in their view Brando's proposal was equally beneficial to them. But Antina listened to them all the time, and the previous situation made it difficult for her to say anything. But then she finally found room to talk, and when Andrew responded to Brando's suggestion, she immediately said, "You took Fania, but her family in Green Village are now led by Baron Cold Cedar. And did you not consider that the revenge of Count Denel could come here at any moment? ”

Andrew glanced at the nobleman, and the other party's alarm made him frown: “Don't worry, Lord. By the time I get back to Parliament, you will have the assistance of the Druid side, but, as we said before, we have one condition. ”

Brando looked at Fania, who nodded. “Go ahead.” He asked.

“Our duty is limited to defending your power as Baron Cold Cedar," Druid looked at the young man as if he saw the ambition in his eyes - he knew that the young man's intentions might go far beyond that. But Andrew was unwilling to let the Druids get tied to Brando's chariot, so he cautioned, "We're not going to do much more than that. ”

He was waiting for the anticipated bargain, but didn't expect Brando to nod his head instead: "Druid has always been neutral, and I'm satisfied with that, so be it.” He thought about it, adding: "But to add, the scope of the protection also includes Valhalla. ”

Andrew nodded immediately, “Of course. ”

Brando laughed in his heart, thinking these guys had been in the woods for a long time, and he was foolish. Though the elderly were far more confident in their hearts than the Groudin, the Druids anticipated his plans and ignored the ambitions of other nobles. It is like the situation in Tonigal at this moment - that Count Denel will never rest, and war is inevitable. Even if World War I were to subside, other nobles, like others, would spy on such a legendary territory as Valhalla. People were greedy, so it was only a matter of time before he tied his interests together and boarded the chariot.

Brando knew that if he was to save the shaky Eluin from his impending destruction, he would have to seek more help in order to counter the incredible historical inertia. The Druids of Tonigal were an opportunity and part of a plan he had already accounted for, a step forward that, after that, no matter how big or small, history changed forever.

But he thought about it, and he stopped and looked at Fania and said, "Fania, being Druid is not an easy thing. Though you are chosen by the Goddess of Nia, the fate of man depends on himself, even if you can learn as much as you do here," he paused and his voice softened: “So you still want to go with Andrew and them? ”

His words surprised everyone, especially Andrew and others, and Brando was no different from the rest of Eruin's nobility in the three Druids, but at this moment there was a slight improvement.

But Fania hesitated and nodded. “I'm going, Brando.” She replied.

“Why?” Flo looked suspiciously at the three Andrews, who were not as familiar with Drew as she was with him - in fact, she was very annoyed that Brando had handed over Fania so much, only because of her identity, which she could not refute. “Aren't you bad here, Fania, why go to the woods. ”

Fania raised a little face and looked at Antina, "Because of Antina's sister.” She replied earnestly.

“Me?” The nobleman stunned.

“What Sister Antina and Daddy have said, you can't do without yourself," the little girl replied naturally, “Brother Brando was very kind to me, but I couldn't accept it reasonably. Uncle Andrew said that when I became Druid, I would have the ability to take a look at them.” She stopped and slowed her breath: “Then I'll have the ability to protect the villagers. ”

Brando's eyes softened.

“Well said.” He replied.
