The Amber Sword

Veronica looked at Brando a little helplessly, and she found that the young man's perception of Cruz could be described as very bad, of course, because the two countries were hostile to each other because of past hatred. Although this general hostility between ordinary people did not prevent her from admiring the young man from a higher level, Brando's manifestation of hostility towards the Empire made her cry a little.

She had some confusion as to how someone as smart as Brando could have blindfolded centuries-old hatred, and his vision should have gone far beyond the empire and the lowest level of Eruin's people. Veronica certainly wouldn't understand that Brando was so hostile to the Cruz because of ‘what's going to happen in the future' - a reason to say that the Empire's goddess of war is also expected to be a maniac rhetoric.

Brando coughed and remembered standing beside himself an imperial general - especially Veronica's smile, which made him a little creepy and quickly shifted the subject: I was actually trying to say... Lord Veronica, you have to help the Grey Sword come back to life, but it doesn't seem that easy. ”

“You should know better than I do, Ms. Veronica,” he said at his discretion: "The empire is held by the House of Lords, so that even with the emperor's support, it will provoke opposition in several great nobles… Not to mention that the revenge of Grey Sword Saints and the Cruz Empire is now more than just a territory. At the time of the King's events, you should know how many young cadets of Imperial College he killed back then. Those young elites are today an incalculable loss for the Empire. I heard that the Empire has set tens of millions of rewards to reward Mr. Mayfister for this, which is not a small sum of money. ”

“Do you seem well aware of the Empire? ”

“Where, where, generally.” Brando hastened to be modest and let the Imperial Goddess of War know that she had a bad stomach and wanted to throw water on the Empire, which was no joke.

“Humph! This guy is looking for our empire. I don't know where he came from, but I think even for this reason, it's enough to support him in studying the history of our empire!” At this time, Fayna, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly penetrated her mouth and gave him a big white eye.

Brando had some surprises, and Fayna was sarcastic, but actually excused him. He couldn't help but get creepy for a while. How could this young lady be so kind? There's definitely a conspiracy in here!

Veronica seemed to accept the explanation, however, and she nodded: “You're right, this proposal cannot be adopted in the Empire. ”

“... do you really lie to him?” Brando couldn't help but be a little offended. Even a guy like Grey Sword Saint who wouldn't dare to offend would dare to cheat and cheat. Politicians deserve to be politicians. Ah, they deserve to have a generic dark face.

“Can you think of any good reason why the young people are so full of bad water? How can the head of my Imperial Regiment talk casually?” Veronica glanced at him in disgust: "Of course I'm telling the truth. ”

“But you said...”

“I mean, I can't, which doesn't mean you can't either.” Veronica interrupted him.

“Me? Wait,” Brando reacted suddenly to understand what Veronica wanted: “Why should I help him to return to his country? It's not an easy thing to do. Besides, this seems like your deal. How could you just get me involved?” He couldn't help complaining.

“How could it be," Krutz's goddess of war slowly glanced at him, “little guy, I could have walked away. Don't you think you owe me one? ”

Brando immediately shook his head like a wave drum: “Centuries ago, the Empire owed a lot to the Eruins, so let's call it a newspaper, and we're even. ”

Veronica couldn't stop laughing. The kid was playing with it. What's that called? Is that even worth it? She couldn't help but reach out and poke him in the forehead: “It's not that simple. Besides, it's not all bad for you. I think you should understand that. What a delicate thing to do here and with me! ”

“I'm sorry, I don't understand.” Brando answered face to face.

Veronica couldn't help but smile: “It's all right, I'll explain. You said earlier that you were going to help Druids ignite the spark. I suppose it was the idea of this territory, too?” Brando didn't answer, she didn't care, and went on: “You should have qualified as a pioneering knight, so at the moment when the spark is lit in your hand, you will have legitimate ownership of the land. Well played, but unrealistic. ”

“No one used to spy on the rings of the wind because nobody knew that there was a primitive spark in the rings of the wind, which represented a vast area of growth that could almost rival the rebuilding of an eruin, a temptation too great to be tolerated by any nobleman in your country. Those people don't care about illegality, and you should know very well that legality is just a term on the table. A primitive spark, enough to rip anyone's face off. ”

“And you?” Brando looked at her with some vigilance and asked, quite rightly, if this woman suddenly had a bad heart here to give him a sword or something, he couldn't help it.

“Me?” Veronica said with some laughter: "What does the Empire want with an enclave? But if this lord was next to Cruz, maybe I would be too. ”

Brando nodded, actually thinking deeply that his plan did have some loopholes. He was accustomed to thinking in the game, to thinking that after acquiring territory by legitimate means recognized by the 'system', there was still something to guard against, except for the monster, which was probably the only player. But here, the greedy aristocrats don't taste like players, so he feels like he's thinking too much about the situation. First of all, for reasons of past history, he had a natural sense of closeness to the future Her Royal Highness the Great Princess, but forgot that here, he and that interest group were alike.

In the face of a territory that could grow into a future comparable to the whole of Eruin, what would His Royal Highness think, even wise as a princess, reassure him to rule the land? Let us not forget that he is no more than a stranger to His Highness Griffin at this moment.

Brando can bet on Princess Regent's trust, but he can't, it's not just his future.

So as soon as Veronica spoke, Brando actually understood the idea of the Cruz goddess. It is indeed in his interest that she wishes to restore her old country to that Grey Sword Saint in this vast territory. First of all, their interests are tied together, and Grey Sword Saint will never sit idly by the eyes of other aristocrats in Eruin.

However, it was too painful to trade nearly a third of the territory for a 'amulet'.

And what made him very uncomfortable was that Veronica had solved the dead enemy of an empire entirely with the help of Buddha, and that the Cruz had not paid a small price, that he was cutting meat himself, and that woman was sitting back. For a moment, he suddenly felt that this giggling woman was an obstacle to his eyes and said that he was the head of the parish army, and that he was still as dark as his stomach.

“It's not that easy.” Brando thought, shaking his head while shaking: “Far from enough, you know, compared to the nobility in Eruin, my influence is far from enough, how do you guarantee that the Greysword Saint Church will die strapped to my ship? He could have had better choices. ”

“Count Mayfister is not like that. ”

“I'm not like that either, Lord Legion Leader. Can you believe that?” Brando chewed his teeth and said.

Veronica laughed, “That's clever, little guy. Well, I promise you, in my capacity as Commander of the Green Legion of the Heaven, I promise to support you behind your back in building this territory, and with the Empire as your backing, Mayfist won't think too much about it. ”

Brando nodded, and that's what he wanted, and while he dared to pack his tickets, the Cruz would never give him any real help, with that promise, even if His Royal Highness wanted someone to replace him, he would have to gauge the chips on both sides. There is no need to worry about whether this empty promise will be fulfilled by the Cruz people. Brando believed in Veronica's energy as the leader of one side of the regiment, not to mention that Mayfist's reinstatement plan would be in vain because of his bad luck.

“But it's not that simple, it's not enough to have land, I suppose Count Mayfist doesn't just want to be a lord?” Brando asked again.

“It is natural that there are some remnants of the original homeland in Cruz and that the people of the old country still live on the original land, and I will find ways to send them if I wish.” Veronica nodded, answering.

Brando nodded too, and opening up barbarity was not an easy thing. The Guardian Land is not an instant, it takes years of maintenance to reach its limits, and the spark ignites up to a tenth of the time to acquire territory, even if fortunately, to be honest, the Mayfisters arrive here to help him open the Black Forest together, which is a free labor force.

As for the original population in the forest, the Druid - the population of Druid in the forest has fallen by more than 80% since the historical scourge of the wolf, with the majority of the remaining people being elderly and children, mainly resting and resting for a time. To put it bluntly, it was still up to him to emigrate from the outside, so he had no choice but to cook without rice.

Having determined all the conditions Veronica could offer, Brando suddenly asked: "Ms. Veronica, you are here to do this for the Empire, but not necessarily anyone knows; on the contrary, you arrange for Mayfisters to flee in the Empire without necessarily being understood by others. Though I know you are committed to the empire, it is only a matter of concern to your political enemies, will you? ”

Veronica glanced at him in disgust: "Put away your seduction, little guy, you're a little too young. I am an empire, and everything I do for the empire is willingness, and the stronger empire is the best reward for me —— besides,” she glanced: “Even if you succeed, let me and the empire have a gap, can you reap any benefits? Even if I had to change the doorway, little man, you wouldn't be qualified to make me loyal. ”

She suddenly added with a little laughter: "I'm almost there for you. ”

“Hey," Brando smiled indifferently at this level of sarcasm: "So happy to work together, now that we've established ownership of the place, let's split up and check the area, so we can find it faster, and I don't think the Druids will be able to resist for long. ”

“You have such a thick face,” Veronica shook her head. What do you mean, 'Now that you've got ownership of this place'? How thick is her face to say this, but the more confident this young man is, the more she feels comfortable, smiling and nodding her head: “Looks like you're going somewhere alone? ”

“Naturally," Brando said without a shred: "I won so easily, I'm going to check my trophy. ”

He answered in a natural tone that belonged to the player.
