The Amber Sword

The gate behind the suspension bridge rose with a squeaky sound, the black carriage drove into Cold Cedar Castle like a ghost, and the atmosphere inside the castle seemed silent - the mercenaries stopped and watched, almost everyone understood:

The young lord is back!

Because Utah remains in the Chaffrend mine, no one has yet brought back what happened underground, but everyone in the castle knows at least that Brando quietly put the mine in the bag with more than twenty people from the district.

What kind of means is this?

Though the young lord's abilities have long gone deep, this has undoubtedly once again created an all-encompassing image for him.

When Brando opened the carriage's doors, he saw this castle, which, even in the late autumn, was surrounded by silence and haunted greenery - because the first owner of the castle had carefully chosen the tree species in the castle so that it would be green at this time of year - but there was not much change with him when he left, the only thing that changed was that there were many fewer features that belonged to Groudin, and the curtains in the room had been replaced with the beige that he liked.

Though the young man did not know how Flo knew his hobby, the whole day with his face, like a secretary, followed this fine arrangement among his Wild Elf sisters, still warmed his heart slightly.

To say anything about the change in this castle is to make him feel more at home.

The word "home" seems distant and unfamiliar to Brando today, as if it had long been irrelevant to him. Butch's old house was like a symbol in his head, symbolizing his starting point in the world, and had nothing to do with home.

Perhaps Brando still has a home in Pragues, but when a young man thinks of it, there's always a diaphragm in his heart, and he knows that he can't face all of it without one more day of suspicion in his heart.

But today, as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw every detail in this quiet castle, and his heart stood still for a moment. Whether it's the grass and trees in this castle, the clean rooms with the windows, or everyone standing around, there's a tranquil smell that penetrates the mind.

made him feel ‘back’.

Brando closed his eyes unfettered and took a slight breath, only then could he feel deeply that he was the owner of the place - everyone in the castle - including those who watched him.

What do they want, to settle down or to live better? Brando suddenly had the feeling that he was not alone in the struggle, and he wanted to finally have so many people's dreams to stand with him, regardless of their ultimate purpose, but Brando believed that he would satisfy everyone.

with a predictable confidence.

Brando opened his eyes and saw the sister of the faceless wild elf standing in front of herself with her notebook in her arms, standing tall and faceless, even the most professional etiquette teacher couldn't pick out a single problem.

For him, the elf lady can now be said to have served as both a secretary and a close maid. He knows this is Tiger Sparrow's order, but the lady has done her duty.

As a former homeboy, Brando rarely had the habit of being uncontrolled, but he also found Flo's care considerate. He glanced at the girl and said softly:

“Thanks.”

Wild Elf's sister looked up at her with the same eyes as a dead fish, and lowered her head. There was no refutation, which was probably quite satisfying.

“How's it going?” Brando asked again.

“Lord Charles is still in the room.” Flora replied, though a maid - but the maid also rarely possesses the power of silver, even though in fact many Dukes may not have the privilege of having such a close maid - and, of course, the shadow guard is different.

But using a silver-topped element as a maid is a surprise to all who know. Fortunately, Tiger Bird, they haven't shown this strength yet, or I'm afraid the two mercenary commanders with whom they've been spending a month may be surprised.

Rubis' mercenary boost stemmed from the fact that Brando had attached Vientiane to their card a few days earlier, and Vientiane had a slightly worse effect than expected, simply elevating Rubis' mercenaries to the upper stages of silver.

But it is also tantamount to saying that Brando had a team of superior silver forces almost in the morning and evening, that silver superiors could also earn the status of squadron leader in the Kingdom's second-line regiment, and that Lubis' mercenaries had poor military qualities, and that Brando even had the idea of making them the backbone of his own corps.

But the identity of the summoning creature is troublesome, and Brando thinks that no soldier is willing to fight with an officer who knows that he will be reborn.

This made him rub his forehead once, for no reason, and there were still too few people around him. Apart from summoning creatures, it's almost impossible to find someone who can stand in their way.

Despite his sober analytical skills and broad vision, Antitina still believes that the nobleman has little experience. In fact, Brando has a slight suspicion of bluffing. After all, he himself has been killed for hundreds of years from the bloody sea of the dead, from fighting with the nobility - although it is in the game, the experience does not fade anywhere - and in the eyes of people like him, it is a little too high.

In fact, in the eyes of many mercenary corps leaders, Antitina can say that the best conspirators, the insights are meticulous and calm, and they have their own opinions, the eyes are far-reaching, thoughtful, and they can never see where others can't see them.

Not to mention that she has extensive knowledge, as if she knew everything. Only Charles can talk to her in this regard, and others are sometimes called by the lady to convene a meeting like a cloud fog.

But it has to be admitted that the other person's words make sense.

In fact, they had long wondered who the lady was. It was the hearts and minds of those who plotted for the great aristocracy who wanted to do so, and Vern had so much experience in this area that the former cavalry captain looked at Antina with a strange eye.

In his view, this young lady is the companion of a family of historic and unparalleled aristocrats who specialize in serving their children - and, of course, Vern, out of a rude, ill-educated junior soldier, cannot help but speculate - whether this young lady also has to meet some of her lordship's less luminous and legitimate needs when necessary.

This speculation is not in Vern's mind alone, and the mercenaries have more or less such an idea, after all, that Antina sometimes does things beyond the boundaries of the staff - Brando gives her a great deal of power, a trust that they can hardly imagine, with only one explanation.

That is that Antitina herself is the woman of the young lord.

Unfortunately, Brando could not detect such a trivial event, and the perceived aristocratic gold seemed to ignore it and let go of liberty, so this misunderstanding was maintained very tacitly.

Of course, to be honest.

Brando's dissatisfaction with Antina is sometimes revealed, and this near-didactic dissatisfaction falls into the eyes of others, which does not mean that the lady is unfavourable, but is just a sign of importance.

But it also made them complain about the high demands of this lord, and most of the time it was unreasonable to deviate from Brando's reprimands, so that a thought arose naturally in the hearts of people:

What's high? That's high!

So Brando was naturally covered in a halo, and almost everyone thought he was really the noble offspring sent out to practice from the ancient families of history.

Only Utah, the head of the female mercenary regiment who deals most with nobility, has expressed doubts, and both Kroncia and Vern have chosen to believe in their instincts - which, unfortunately, men's instincts are often less reliable - which, in their view, must give Brando a bright future.

On the other hand, with the exception of Antina. Only Vern, the former captain of the Cavalry Squad of Karasou, is probably the only one of the mercenaries with a certain level of stability and military literacy, even better than Utah, who is serious.

In Brando's view, Utah's flaws are too nuanced, although women are always naturally skeptical, but sometimes it's not empty words that make the big picture, and those with the details can't keep their eyes open for long, which is why it seems to him that Vern and Kroncia can quickly see the situation and get into his group, while the head of the female mercenary group is delayed.

The incident at the mine seemed to have truly allayed her doubts, and she had already told him that she was relieved to leave Schafflund and leave her there to watch Auggins' every move, a close gesture indicating that the head of the female mercenary group had been relieved to hand over to him his men who had stayed in Cold Cedar City, believing that he would not take the opportunity to do anything she regretted.

But to be honest, it's already too late. Both Kronsia and Vern found their place, and the head of the mercenary group had to start from scratch, losing half a step on the starting line.

So Brando doesn't like the female mercenary leader for the time being.

And as for Kronsia, the human race is too smooth, although it is capable. Such a man, Brando, would never give the other person full confidence until he believed that his power was being harnessed. The so-called knowledgeable man, who had been the leader of the regiment, understood.

And only Vern, bold, calm enough to see the situation. But the only flaw is that the eyes are too narrow. Thinking about it, Brando himself had to laugh. How far can he ask a cavalry captain to look?

After all, they are not former players and can look beyond the world. So players are born to sit flat with the big nobles, but these people can't.

Although people can change, Brando doesn't have the time right now, and he's facing a different kind of trouble than he is in a game where he can step up gradually.

His enemies were much stronger than him in the beginning, and he would not give him time to slow down, and he could not help but shake his head when he saw Vern and Kroncia, who were also on his side.

Where are the people he wants?
