The Amber Sword

As a precious piece of auction is taken away, the auction draws to a close. In the meantime, Brando photographed a piece of fine gold valued at 300,000 Torr, one of the main materials of the whole steel armor, which, together with the relics of White Knight Alberton and a portion of Amman's lifetime savings, soon allowed him to start making this armor. Sister Magdalene also symbolically photographed a silver ornament from the Wind Elves as a gift to Antina.

The auction's last shaft of auction was a round shield passed down during the Kruz Empire Kanov dynasty, but the minds of the two were completely absent. The situation of the hidden waves in Ambezier was truly unsettling, and Brando and Her Royal Highness Princess of the Principality of Antoboro quickly reached a final agreement, after which they left the compartment a long time ago.

Magdalene must return immediately to the temple to avoid suspicion, after which she must also find a way to discover the true intentions of the Temple of Fire, and what is so blinding about the new High Priest of Meros and the nobility of Eruin.

And Brando was quite satisfied with the meeting, and although he didn't get much information, he had at least a solid ally inside the temple and understood the attitude of the Cruz people. With great confidence in the quality of Princess Magdalene Brando, in another history she was famous for her integrity and goodness, and even for her ‘spirituality above the outside’. Knowing that Princess Magdalene is not ugly, her beauty is not even inferior to Griffin, who is half elf, known as the human 'Queen Ain 'es’ (the Elf Queen active in an era after the Battle of the Saints, famous for her beauty).

Brando leaves Antina to settle the proceeds of the auction with the auctioneer and to help him get the gold from the auction, while he leaves the auction hall and stops a carriage at the door and says, "74 Scorpion Street!” The carriage soon left San Pinot Square, passing through a curved alley - even at a bustling trading port like Ambethel, there were slums beneath the floating gold, the carriage stopped in a shantytown in the suburbs, the house in this area had long been bought by Su, Brando walked straight towards a house backed by Ambethel Bay, and just got to the door, the wooden doors of the grey pockets squeaked open.

The back revealed a feminine face, but had fins on her chin and ears, skin like green jade, and she measured Brando with a faint yellow prism with a gaze of vigilance. “Hello, Rindes.” Brando smiled slightly, a woman named Rindes Square Naga. Lendez nodded, and that's when he stepped aside and let Brando in.

“Lord.” There are also two men in the house, one of whom is Sannir. It was wounded a few days ago in a battle with other tribes and was prevented from entering the battlefield for a short period of time before being sent to act as liaison officer for Tonigal's new lord. Now that Brando is the most important ‘friend' of Flashy Naga, healing Her Majesty with Holy Water One is one aspect, but the main reason is that the clever Cold Queen places more emphasis on Brando's potential strength - not too many people in the human world can bring out Holy Water No.

But it wasn't Naga who first asked, it was Sue who stood behind them. The innkeeper's daughter looked worried and shook up, as if something terrible had happened: “Lord, something has happened. ”

“Hmm?” Brando whispered, thinking he'd only be gone for a few hours. What could have happened during that time? Has the nobleman, Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin, been placed under house arrest? “What's going on? Is something wrong with the princess?” He frowned and asked.

Sue shook her head and came up with a letter. Brando picked up the letter and his face immediately got weird. Previously, he had asked Sue to find a way to gather information from the north to ascertain what had changed the attitude of the Temple of Fire, and it was this letter that said that the Golden Lions of Tokenin had slammed it off three days earlier, while the Temple of the Earth had mobilized the war half a month earlier, meaning that, unlike in history, the Temple of the Earth had waged war about three months earlier because… well, the Temple of the Earth demanded the Temple of Fire, and the Kingdom of Eluin had returned its long-lost sword… The Sword of the Earth, Harangia.

“ …… ”

“Ha...” Brando pinched the paper and didn't know what to say for a while. He wanted to break his head and didn't know why the Temple would change its attitude towards the Elouin royal family. The reason was so simple, simply because the Temple of the Earth had waged war ahead of time. And in the end, it's because of him.

“How did this get in? ”

“It was a message from an informant I had arranged in the north, sent in through Naga, and now Ambessel has blocked the way in and out on the grounds that the monsoon season is upon us, and the outside information is simply not available.” The dark-skinned girl answered rationally.

Brando glanced at Sannir and thought it must be this letter that this guy had brought in.

“Are the people who get this information reliable? ”

“It's unreliable, it's just money, but the message should be enough. ”

Brando nodded, and the news that the Lions had waged war ahead of time should have been well known in the North, except that the wind had not yet reached Ambethel when the news had been blocked.

This is serious. The war between the Temple of Fire and the Temple of the Earth was only a minor episode in the history of the end of Eruin, but not for the Krugs. The influence of this jihad among the players of the Krug Empire was no less than that of the Black Rose War, especially for the Krugs. This is a religious war, and the Temple of Fire is bound to do its utmost, especially as an outpost, the Eruin War, and it seems that the Temple of Fire is determined to maintain stability.

Even with tough management--

This is great news for the aristocracy of the North, but it is a terrible drain on Princess Brando's side. “Lord, what shall we do now?” The hotel owner's daughter is not aware of the nuances, but she also knows that this is not good news. At least she has heard of the recent changes in the attitude of the Temple.

“I'm sure Her Royal Highness has been placed under house arrest, and now the Temple of Fire will certainly not allow her to leave Ambesseur. They will force Anrek to make a statement, and the next Noble Party and the Wang Party will be in danger.” Brando thought about it. The Royal Party should have been informed by this time. It may have been earlier than him. The Royal Party will only have more informants in the north. Although they do not have Naga under their command, they must also have the means to transmit the information to Ambethel. It is only a question of whether His Royal Highness could leave safely, if only he were to fall into the Jedi now.

He suddenly turned back and asked, "Where's Roman? ”

“Miss Roman went to the trade zone and there were a number of chambers of commerce with which we had ties, and she said that she was going to get in touch with some of the leading figures in those chambers, that the war was about to break out and that the market would inevitably fluctuate, and that Miss Roman feared that it would affect the livelihoods of the territory.” Sue seems to be about to talk about it.

“She's alone?” Brando frowned, and he knew the big businessmen were shiny and the backs weren't very good.

“Sy went with her.” Sue glanced at him and replied.

Brando nodded, Sy was given the blood of the dragon and now has almost the strength of the Golden Peak. Simply in terms of strength, even he is not an opponent. With her on her side, the safety of the businessman's sister can be assured. “When they get back, tell them not to go out again, and let everyone back out of the hotel and concentrate here. ”

Sue nodded and frowned slightly. Is the situation so tense? Brando's plan, she knew, was partly to bring everyone together to demonstrate that the nobility and the situation at the Conference had become irreversible, and that the next step would be to intervene by force. But to be honest, Tony Gehr's power is insignificant on top of this huge game.

“Sue, what's your problem? ”

“I have no problem.” Su shook his head and threw out the slightest discomfort in his heart.

Brando was suddenly somewhat cynical, and suddenly he thought that it was selfish of him to bring these people into this whirlpool of political struggle. Sue is the daughter of a hotel owner, Roman dreams of being a big businessman, Freya wants to help the residents of Butch, Cee wants the approval of others wholeheartedly, and the veterans of Red Copper Dragon, the young Tonigal, the King's Party and Princess Griffin's fate didn't really have much to do with them, they're here now, just because of an idea.

Why do they pay so much, even the price of life, for the rise and fall of the royal family and for changing the fate of a princess? Unlike the prejudices deeply ingrained in the royal party and the nobles, in Brando's view there is no noble and inferior division between men and women. Even the life of His Royal Highness the Princess is not necessarily more noble than that of a beggar.

Princess Griffin weighs even heavier in his mind not because she will in the future become Her Royal Highness the King of Regents of this kingdom, but because he will not forget the precious memories of the past, the days of fighting alongside his companions, with the goddess of martial arts and with the millions of people of the same faith, but the memories do not exist for others, even for Freya.

His purpose was a little selfish, but there were things he had to do because he knew the outcome.

“Sue, do you believe me?” Brando asked suddenly.

The dark-skinned teenager looked up at him in confusion.

“What we do now may not necessarily succeed, but it must be right, if we do it may fail, but what we do will not succeed. Nobility could not save Eruin, but there was no quiet life in the corner of bias.” Brando remembered that the Second Black Rose War was bound to happen in the future, and that the kingdom burned in the midst of the war, and that moderate reforms would not save Eruin.

If he doesn't let go, history will repeat itself sooner or later.

Su Di's eyelids dropped: “I don't understand, but Miss Freya chose to believe you, Lord. Burying your head in the sand can only trick you, Lord is trying to say that, right," she smiled: “Actually, I don't care, Father's opinion is my opinion, he chose to believe you - Lord, not for any reason, but because you have never failed so far. ”

“Does it mean that if you fail, it's over and you succeed, you can go on?” As if that were the case, he had only one chance and had no choice, and if he did not succeed, he had to make at least one dramatic failure. Because even if you don't do it, you fail.

He nodded and let go of his heart.

He turns back: "Sannir, if you are asked to help attack the port as planned, I will provide you with details of the location and layout of the warehouse of the Marina District Chamber of Commerce and the Ambessel Navy, and all looted goods can be used as your spoils of war… but minimize civilian casualties if possible. ”

“We're not bloodthirsty villains.” Sannir snorted in disgust: "With detailed clothing, we'll try to avoid civilians, but are you okay with the map you gave us? Ambethel's layout and defenses are in the hands of the Temple of Fire, can you get them? ”

Brando smiled mysteriously, and of course he couldn't get it, and he didn't need it, and another decades of experience in history had long known Ambethel's layout and defenses. “Rest assured, there won't be too many navies left at the pier by that day, and I'll make conditions for you.” In addition to several ships of the Port Authority, the naval forces of Ambessel are mainly monks and soldiers of the temple, and Brando is at least confident to draw them away.

Besides, with the onset of a sea storm, the Temple would not have expected the attack to come from the sea anyway.

“By the way," he suddenly thought of something: "Would you please use the sea demon whale again?” He mainly wanted to cover his retreat with sea monster whales, which still had several battleships in the Port Authority, and which had the effect of suppressing the storm, then retreated from the sea, just passing through the stormy waters. Brando didn't want to escape easily and bury the fish belly again.

Sannir hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. Brando was very beneficial to the Shimmer Clan, and this time it was regarded as a return of mercy. Also, Flashy Naga lost a great deal in the Western Sea war, and Brando's offer to create opportunities to loot the warehouses of the Ambessel Navy and Chamber of Commerce was a condition they could not refuse. Ambesseur is the largest trading port in Eruin and throughout the South, and if this time it is copied to the bottom of the Ambesseur Navy, the loss of Flashlight Naga in this war can almost be replenished.

“Thank you so much.” Brando is a bit of a surprise now, and the relationship with Flashlight Naga is just an unintentional move on the way to Ambessel, and I didn't expect that the unintentional willow intrusion became the most crucial part of the success of this trip to Ambessel.

“Mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial.” As in history, Sannir wrote off Brando's debt in a few words, and if the smart queen of cold weather knew that he would be punished to go to the abyss of the deep sea to reform his labor.

And then Brando decided to go see that half-esque girl again.
