The Amber Sword

Chapter 657: Act 4 The Belonging of the White Lion

Even today's Elouin, the White Lion Legion is still a brigade of strength. This is borne out by the fact that the Marquis of Balta used it to destroy Toquinin's lions. But only to satisfy the aristocratic fixation, he wants a new tooth, a sprawling lion.

He gave it some thought and replied: "Your Highness, I am afraid I am not in a position to assume this position. ”

The princess looked back at him in surprise. Brando's locked eyebrows slowly unfolded, and the divine color slowly became a firm resolve. “Why?” she asked puzzled.

“Well... Her Royal Highness wants the truth or the lie?” Brando raised his head, and the sky in the Ambessel Ocean had a vibrant green colour, which was only a sign before the next round of storms. The air gave rise to the smell of a humid sea. He and His Highness walked towards the square of the Holy White. The semi-Pokémon princess was only a little taller than his shoulder, wearing a long silver dress, a thin satin attached to the skin like white porcelain, and a huge petal-folded skirt lined the Pokémon with finesse.

“Truth, Mr. Brando.” The princess does not sound unhappy.

“Well, to be honest, the White Lion Legion has been the sharpest sword blade in the kingdom for centuries since the first king gave it to Krenthal Melberen. It is certainly a good thing for us to have a legal inheritance of this army. But Her Royal Highness also understands that Sir Nevinder, Warren Leleda, and the Left Handed General will not necessarily accept a stranger as the new Legion Leader of the White Lion Corps, will they?” Brando said that the White Lion Legion left sharp claws, two Lion Beatles and the White Lion Blade Knights.

The difference between today's White Lion Legion and the Acme is simply that there is no Guardian Legion, which was replaced by the new Guardian Legion after the glorious return of the last century and later became the predecessor of today's Black Blade Legion. And the White Lion Legion still has three close guard regiments, Sharp Claw, Lion and Jude, and a White Lion Blade Knights regiment. Among them, Jude's close guard regiment is led by the Marquis of Balta, and after the death of the Marquis of Balta, the remaining three are actually eligible to succeed the Commander.

The princess disagrees: "This is the legacy of old Captain Reid, and both Nicholas and the knight Stephen of the Temple of Fire can testify, without their objection. ”

“But is that the White Lion Her Highness wants? How does a sword that is only superficially compliant differ from those who plot against the North? It makes no sense to compromise to whomever it is, we want a white lion who is truly loyal to the ideals of the kingdom.” Brando replied, Her Highness silenced.

Brando understands the anxiety of this half-Pokémon princess at this moment. The disputed aristocracy of the North is likely at any moment to break the calm and turn the situation in the North into a pot of porridge - but the key is how much time there is left for Eruin under the threat of war, surrounded by strong enemies. The grave consequences of the Ambessel war undoubtedly amplify this concern.

It would have been nice to have two to three years of peace, no, just two years. In Brando's memory, five years to the Second Black Rose War, seventeen years to the day when the long night came and the wolves ran over the earth, after which Vaughn never had a day to rest.

Until then, however, there was a war in the north waiting for Eruin. Brando also had a headache if he could not reassure the aristocracy of the North as soon as possible, and what exactly to use to deal with the Golden Lion of Tokenin. Compromise was absolutely unacceptable, the history of another world was in sight, and he really wanted to kill all these damn guys with one sword, and he sighed helplessly.

“So, Mr. Brando, do you have a better choice?” The two walked to the carriage and the princess stopped and looked back at him and asked.

“There is a daughter of Everton, the Horseman of the Earth. ”

“Freya?” The princess's voice sounds a little surprised.

“Yes, Freya, Your Highness. She was a fit person of both origins and backgrounds and was involved in this war, fighting alongside the Marquis of Balta and winning the favor of many in the White Lion Corps. More importantly, the Lion Heart Sword agreed with her, which appeared to be more of a prerogative of King Acme, and perhaps we should respect the choice of the Lion Heart Sword.” Brando said slowly that there was actually some news he heard from Antina.

Her Royal Highness listened silently and finally said, "Mr. Brando, I don't want to hide you. Your thoughts coincide with those of a man I know, and she recommended Freya to me to take over from the Marquis of Balta. ”

“Oh?”

There was some curiosity in Brando's mind, in fact, that allowed Freya to lead the White Lion Legion forward, and he had a long history of abdominal cases, because who could be better suited to this position than this student from the history of Led, the head of the White Lion Legion, and Eluin's goddess of martial arts?

But it is clear that this reason does not persuade others. Freya is now just a notorious country girl from Butch Countryside, perhaps the daughter of Everton, but the secret is unknown to most, not to mention talent, and she is not one of the most outstanding in this issue of the Knights Royal Academy.

Then who will be the one who will choose this future goddess?

“Nimmasis,” the princess told him, "you should have seen her. She's the most trustworthy person I've ever met, and she's my best friend. ”

It's her.

Brando's curiosity grew deeper and deeper, and the position of Commander of the White Lion Legion was never an inconspicuous place. So how does a knight named Nimmasis look at Central Freya?

After all, not everyone in the world has the same pair of eyes that can see the future as he does.

For a while, he remembered the meeting with the knight in the rain. The cold woman, whose name he had never heard before in history, had almost exactly the same appearance as her sister, but had a completely different personality.

He frowned with a slight suspicion and said, “I don't know what Ms. Nimatis thinks, but I can't find anyone better suited to this position than Freya, Your Highness. At the heart of the problem lies the Lion Heart Sword, and the White Lion Corps is eager to reclaim it in order to regain the value of the White Lion. Coupled with the legacy of the Riddle Knights, their high ranking would certainly have no objection. ”

“Moreover, on the other hand, the daughter of Everton, an anonymous land knight, may be less threatening to those three than she was later. In any case, I am also a knight beside Her Royal Highness. ”

The princess nodded softly, as if she had accepted the suggestion, "What then?” She asked softly.

“I intend to lead Freya and Carlo to make the Royal Knights College the base for supplying the White Lion Regiment with new blood. The White Lion Legion also needs a group of talented young men to support its future, in keeping with the Royal Knights College philosophy. Besides, isn't the White Lion Corps a better place to stay for those young men than the guards?” Brando continued. His purpose was simple, he wanted a brand new Legion of White Lions, so infiltration and transformation were inevitable. He doesn't have any men, but Wang Li Knights College is a good choice.

Half-Pokémon princess frowned and sounded like she heard Brando outside the strings. “But does that really work? Will it cause the White Lion Legion to bounce back?” She asked softly with a nice voice.

“Absolutely,” Brando said. But at least boiling frogs in warm water has the advantage of not fuelling conflict from the beginning. There is actually a compromise between the two sides, and there is no reason for them to reject them altogether, but neither he nor His Royal Highness can take complete control of the White Lion Regiment at once.

Neither side must have intended to push each other to the end of the road, at a time when the other thought that he and His Highness were trying to take control of the future, the other might only laugh at their innocence.

But laughter is good.

Brando went on to explain, "But what if we could reunify the South in a short time, when the White Lions would be even more arrogant? ”

Half-Pokémon Princess took a gentle breath: "Mr. Brando, what you said and what I heard is very different. But somehow, I prefer to trust your views, but can we achieve reunification in the South in a short time? ”

Brando sees a confusion in the silver eyes of the half-fairy princess, not against him, but against this statement. He answered truthfully: "If the nobles of the North do not mess us up, we will have a chance. ”

He's not lying. The Highland Knight seemed to have a clear fondness for the princess because of his identity. The Duke of Vieiro and the Duke of Goran-Elson, on the other hand, are clearly not keen on the struggle for power and belong to the forces that can be won. In fact, their enemies in the south were left with only Count Denel and the Grand Duke of Anlek, whose whereabouts were unknown, not to mention the deep resentment that Count Denel himself had with the Duke of Vieiro.

But then the problem returns to its origins. “Mr. Brando, do you think the aristocrats of the North will give us this opportunity?” Her Royal Highness asked, not that she didn't get it, but that it all seemed like a dead end.

Will the aristocrats of the North give them this opportunity? The answer to that question sounds natural, of course not, and those who are plotting against us cannot but make a mess of the situation.

But Brando shrugged for a moment and gave the exact opposite answer: “I think there will be an opportunity. ”

The princess looked at him curiously.

Brando was thinking about what the Cruz and Turaman had said to him before, and maybe Wood would really surprise him. In any case, the key to the breakdown in the North is the attitude of the Temple of Fire.

“The Temple of Fire does not necessarily want Eruin to be caught in the crossfire, Your Highness. We can only wait and see, this time the Cruz will give us a satisfactory answer. ”

“But I don't want to compromise them, you know that, Mr. Brando. ”

“We will not compromise anyone, Your Highness. ”

Unlike Princess Griffin, Brando doesn't really have much tension and anxiety. Because in his view, the most difficult and difficult times seemed like yesterday, the darkest part of history had passed, and the future would only get better and better.

And all he had to do was identify that goal and walk steadfastly.

The princess was slightly stunned, but seemed to understand that she looked at Brando in a remarkable way. Brando nodded slightly to her —— some things were that simple, just people getting caught up in it. Even in the most vulnerable moments of the princess, the Temple of Fire did not take any advantage of her. Are the Krutz still delusional about lowering their heads?

The situation has actually been reversed.

A slight smile appeared on Princess Griffin's face, and she took a breath of relief. Turn around and invite with the elf's characteristic jumping, crisp voice:

“It's a beautiful day, Mr. Brando. Would you like to walk with me? I'd like to see the reconstructed port of Ambethel. ”

Brando snapped.

He felt that his beautiful silver eyes were looking at him, and the liking contained therein was self-evident. However, he had committed difficulties, on the one hand, by the invitation of Her Royal Highness and, on the other, by arrangements of equal importance to him.

Before coming out, Brando checked his experience with this war. The harvest can be described as very rich, especially in the final battle, and the almost general experience of the Titans that Roman killed counted on him. But the only problem is that these experiences are now a bleak grey.

This represents only one situation.

That is that experience reaches the upper limit of factor chemistry. The next step is a process that he is very familiar with, a task of catalyzing elements.

In fact, just in time, the Ambessel War is like an important juncture for Brando. After the war, everything was on track, and as long as the situation in the north was calmed down, he had time to accomplish this series of catalytic tasks.

But there is only one problem.

So now he's in a broken state, and he can't wear a white board to complete the mission? However, fixing gear - especially magic gear - is a long and time-consuming task in the game and he has to be ready as soon as possible.

Princess Griffin seemed to see his hesitation and asked, "Is there a problem? ”

“Well, I wanted to go to the workshop first.” Brando answered with some embarrassment.

“It turns out," the princess seemed to understand, thinking, “Does Mr. Brando know Ambethel's most famous arms and defence store? ”

Lucettia Arms & Armor Store.

The name immediately appeared in Brando's heart. Ambethel's most famous weapons and armor workshop is neither run by the dwarf who is best at forging steel nor belongs to the elves who are good at magic art.

It's a fairy shop.

The store is very famous for its games, but it is not open exclusively to players, but rather operates for nobility. Only a handful of prominent players have enough reputation to get into it, but Brando, who deals with bone skeletons all day, obviously doesn't belong among them.

He looked up and wondered if Her Highness wanted to go with herself to that tinkling, smoky workshop.

But Princess Griffin replied with a pleasant voice: "Please get in the car, Mr. Brando. ”

“Timothy, get the carriage to the Lucetian Arms and Armor Store." ”

Before Brando could react, the woman in front of him opened the carriage door herself.
