The Amber Sword

Sisters Ling and Lotus sat on the chair and squeaked straight at the barbecue and bread in the front plate with a wooden knife and fork. Both sisters had cute white milk marks on their lips, while cups filled with milk were placed aside.

Sloma is a relatively large town near the Butch area, a town on the Black Forest border that is one of the largest settlements and markets outside the Maddalla-Eruin border due to its long build-up of adventurers and businessmen trading in the Black Forest. Of course, this is usually a trivial zone, where the owner of a town is a mercenary group, and where any conspiracy is permitted, as long as it is not an obvious struggle.

Of course, these little tricks were not in Brando's eyes, and they sat safely in the hotel after secretly dealing with three short-sighted thieves who tried to attack Lin and Lotus, and two thieves who tried to tamper with his wallet, and of course, the two sisters knew nothing about it.

This place is very close, both to the rings of the wind and to Butch, to the north is the southern foothill of the Tosancado forest, the Hillman Valley, and to the west is the slow slope of the Grahar Mountains - Brando remembers taking Freya into the Grahar Mountains once before the summer, when he looked east on that cliff into the twilight forests he saw, which are now the forests they call the 'summer woodlands'.

This forest is the easternmost part of the Black Forest Belt in the Wind Ring, and to the east is the Butch Mountains, which connect Madara, where they passed by.

This forest can be said to be part of the black forest, but it can also be said to be on the periphery of the black forest. Where these people are rare, there are often opportunities that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and warcraft, minerals and treasures and relics left behind by their predecessors in the forest may represent a treasure. It is for this reason that it has long since become a meeting point for Eru's southern adventurers and fatalities.

Brando even knew that the adventurers and mercenaries gathered in Tonigal, whose autumn and summer routes included this place, would depart from Tonigal every spring through the Tosancad Forest to venture, seek a commission or simply find something to do, enter the fall, and before winter, they would leave the place for a long winter back in Tonigal.

But since the original lord of Cold Fir Lord was killed by him, the order of Tonigal has been cleared, with the exception of some law-abiding adventurers, who had been driven out of Tonigal by the dead and mercenaries, some to the Hillman area and some to Chablis, although, whichever way, more people stayed in Maros for the winter.

That's why the scene is so lively right now. If it was the year before the sword, this town was cold and depressed at this time of year.

Mercenaries, adventurers, the known fatalities of the Vaughn continent are among the poorest in the world, but they are also among the richest, and the money they have comes and goes fast, because no one knows when they will die, so it is the creed of these people to live in a timely fashion. Local business activities are driven by the habit of waving gold and soil, which brings together businessmen here, although the resulting types of business activities are also diverse, not least among which are women in the leather business.

Just across the street from this hotel, Brando saw several prostitutes dressed in exposed clothes soliciting guests. And most of their customers weren't very polite guys, and some of them were blatantly flirting in the street, and when Brando saw a guy reach under one of the women's clothes, he couldn't help but frown and get up and close the window.

Next, Brando clapped and sat down again after throwing a guy who was yelling and threatening to open the window from the lobby onto the street outside. He saw that the faces of both sisters in front of him were a little red, Lin's face slightly faded, and Lotus's face was completely like a ripe apple.

“Don't worry about those people, a bunch of human scum. ”

“Yes, Mr. Brando.” The little girl stammered.

“Eat more, you have to finish the milk.” I couldn't help but smile when I saw the two sisters' faces revealing their disgusting looks: “The barbecue sauce here is special. You can't even eat such authentic flavors north of Chablis. Ingredients in the dark forest are rare out there. It's not until Tonigal for the next meal to eat so much food, and you'll have to eat meat dried on the way. ”

Lotus heard that she had to vomit her tongue, and the dried meat on the road was dry and salty, like the wood that knocked over the salt can, of course it looked the same.

However, it is much better than the fact that both of their sisters are often hungry, and they do not have to be * * * * scared, at least by this adult.

Unfortunately, my sister insisted on going back to Lantoniland, and she also wanted to go back and see the monastery and the partners, otherwise it seemed nice to stay in Tonigal.

In addition to the coveted roasted venison, the meal also has a curved croissant bread, also a local specialty, accompanied by several berry flavors in the black forest, deeply loved by the two sisters, even the constant silence of Ling after a bite reveals a satisfying and divine color on her face.

After the meal, Brando ordered the two sisters' post-meal fruits as dessert, and the wooden tray was filled with grapes and wild strawberries, which were instead the most expensive part of the meal - grapes from the Lowlands estate off the coast of Lantoniland had to undergo magic cellars before they could be adapted for long-distance transport, and traders put partitions in crates, layers of straw, layers of magically preserved grapes, layers of straw, and finally crucified boards, swiveling for hundreds of miles before they could reach here, grapes found everywhere in the Lantoniland Lowlands were more expensive than gold.

Lotus is quite memorable, so hidden guesses about the value of these precious fruits are not only slightly disturbing. Eating equal amounts of gold in a meal is like calling the sisters who have always lived in poverty alleviation a little guilty.

But Brando doesn't care, from Nautical Jacket to Bodo to Malos, where the three of us have stayed. Although it doesn't matter what he eats in terms of his current strength, the two little girls are still in the advanced stages of their bodies, in terms of their human age, they are at most in their early eleventh years of age. It is precisely when supplementary nutrition is needed that there are no conditions in the wilderness, so it is easy to reach a foothold, and naturally more labor is required.

These two sisters are white children, but they are also the relatives of Metissa, two lovely, strong little girls who, in Brando's view, were born to enjoy a princess's life, but the reality is that they are forced to struggle, but even so, they have not given up their hopes of optimism and instead have set foot on the path to finding their mother.

Thousands of miles from Rantoniland to Madala, they not only protect themselves, but also travel and learn, and with this perseverance alone, it's hard to fall in love.

Besides, this money is actually nothing to Brando, let alone Valhalla and Cold Cedar Collar's enormous wealth belong to him, which is to let Count Denel's annuity, which he can't even use up.

It is only surprising to Brando that these fresh magic cellar grapes are more expensive outside Lantoniland than the vintage red wines from the local estate and are precious ingredients that can only be seen on the table of nobility, and he did not expect to see them in this small town on the edge, which is not only a factor of value and price.

Because it also involves the ability to consume the land, Brando wonders, is it true that after more than two years in Tonigal, Maros, a small place, has flourished to such a point that a small hotel is always ready to receive noble guests?

But Brando's questions were quickly answered. A young man appeared before him with a glass of wine, a silk robe, a crest on a mink hat, all of which did not mean that he was a noble son. But Brando noticed that the other party behaved slightly less softly - although he was not a serious nobleman himself, * * * * wet ears beside the finest nobles of the kingdoms - Her Royal Highness, Ovewell, and Nimmasis - and finally cultivated into a state where he had never eaten pork - enough to tell if a nobleman was truly intrinsic.

Although Brando himself doesn't think this capability is going to do much for birds.

He speculated that the young man might be the son of some emerging aristocratic family.

Since the war between Ambessel and Jean de Neil, the aristocracy of the Kingdom has changed considerably, and the aristocracy that was persecuted in the cold has been reversed. Although some of them may not have been members of the Royal Party, the new aristocracy has emerged from the ground as if it were a springboard after the rain, due to the large number of places vacated in the two wars and the fact that His Royal Highness has re-sealed a number of successful aristocracies since the war ended.

Typical features of these new nobles are the lack of enclosure or the small enclosure of power, but they are often close to the royal family or to Her Royal Highness the Princess, or to power. Although Eruin does not currently have a governing body that can be called ‘government’ or ‘court’, under his influence, a bureaucracy around Princess Griffin and Haruze is gradually emerging, and these people will constitute a whole new political ecology for Eruin in the future, and they will no longer be queens, but princes of kings and kingdoms.
