"Cold Dew Manor?" Brando tapped the table with his fingertips and replied thoughtfully: "Delphine hasn't found out where Holy See Vala and the Temple of Fire conservatives are being held. If the Silver Queen
If it weren't for the sake of suspicion, assuming that one of the prince's old residence and Hanlu Manor is where the 'prison' is, then the other one..."
In fact, since the Silver Queen split the temple, the faction represented by Vala has been called the conservative faction, while the other faction is naturally the innovative faction represented by the scholastic faction.
"Qian is right there." Medisa's silver eyes lit up slightly, understanding what he wanted to express.
"Lord, do we want to take action?" she asked immediately.
Brando shook his head. "It's best to explore first." He replied, although this place does seem very possible, it cannot be ruled out that it is a trap or suspicion set by the Silver Queen. The best way is to
It’s better to sneak in and investigate first: “Tonight, I and...”
"Brando, let me go!"
Before he could finish his words, he was cut off by Faina on the side.
The eldest lady in the flower-leaf collar blurted out almost without thinking, and then seemed to realize what she said. She saw Brando and Medisa looking at her in astonishment, and their faces seemed to be burning and turned red.
De Feng: "...I, I mean, I'm very familiar with it."
"But Faina, you don't seem to know how to sneak in, do you?" Brando couldn't help but ask.
"My teacher also taught me about infiltration and secret operations, but..." Faina replied softly.
"It's just that you don't have actual combat experience, right?"
Faina blushed and insisted: "Even if I don't have actual combat experience, I can still do it well."
"This is no picnic, my eldest lady."
"I know..." Faina blinked slightly and her tone weakened: "I... I can stay on the outside. I know there are several unknown trails there..."
"That's not possible," Brando shook his head: "It's not safe. According to our prior plan, non-combatants should try to avoid participating in the war."
Faina had no choice but to shut her mouth and stare at Brando hatefully with her blue eyes.
Just when Brando thought she was going to make the eldest lady angry again, the former bit his lower lip and replied in a low voice: "I know..."
This contrast surprised Brando. In his mind, the impression of the young lady still remained on the image of the unruly and willful little princess of the Trade Wind Ring. He was already prepared for the other party to lose his temper.
But he didn't expect that the last sentence was just "I know", which made him feel as if he had punched cotton.
He couldn't help but glance at the other party with some vigilance. He had seen this attitude the most in one person - that was the business lady. Because usually little Roman always talked nicely when he had to lower his head like this, but
In practice, it was basically the exact opposite, and he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, which gave him a huge headache.
But fortunately, he knew that Faina would at least not be so unruly. This eldest lady had her own pride and didn't bother to play with such little tricks.
As for the conversation between the two, Medisa who was on the side had a clear understanding of it. The little silver elf princess glanced at Faina, smiled mysteriously, and then suggested to Brando: "Lord, in fact, in my opinion
, maybe it would be better to take Miss Faina with you."
Brando was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Medisa would suddenly switch sides.
"Medissa?" He turned back to look at her, as if to make sure the other party was joking.
At this time, Faina also raised her head and glanced at Medisa who was sitting on the chair with some surprise.
"Because Ms. Sidney is not suitable for entering the city, her target is too conspicuous," Medissa replied with a smile. She can be said to be the person who has followed Brando for the longest time besides Charles, and she can see through her at a glance.
The Lord's thoughts can therefore be discussed: "Suppose this is a trap for the Silver Queen. Then her target may be Ms. Sidney, not Miss Faina, because she has had many opportunities in the past few days, right?
Why bother?"
Brando suddenly realized that this was reverse thinking. The Silver Queen used Vala as bait, so her target was probably, as Medissa said, the statue of the Virgin in the Lion Palace; she also had an urgent motive.
, obtaining the Holy Sword Odysseus is the most important step for her to integrate and control the Temple of Fire. In her own camp, in addition to herself as the inheritor of Odin, I am afraid that Sidney is the most important person to Her Majesty the Queen.
The most important.
Relatively speaking, the ownership of the mosaic collar is indeed not that important to her.
In this way, assuming that Sidney is unable to enter the Imperial Capital, he does need to choose a replacement candidate from Delphine and Faina, two people who are familiar with the Imperial Capital. In comparison, Faina is slightly less capable.
It's more appropriate. Although neither of them has the ability to protect themselves, she is at least Veronica's student and has excellent swordsmanship.
The daughter of the Prime Minister has become just like an ordinary person after taking the Fountain of Youth, which has side effects. In fact, in this era when the tide of magic begins to deepen its influence on the entire world in all aspects, it is impossible for her to have any power.
Even worse than ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but glance at Faina.
"Is it okay?"
"Then you have to ask Miss Faina if she is ready," Medissa replied seriously: "This is a dangerous job."
"I have no problem!" Faina quickly replied: "I will protect myself. Don't forget whose student I am."
When Brando saw this rich young lady like this, he actually wanted to complain that your teacher was being imprisoned in the moss castle at the moment. However, considering his respect for the legion commander, he really couldn't bear to give her any more shame.
I tried to smear him, but I endured it without speaking out.
He sighed, although this may not be the best choice, but at least it is not the worst, thinking that this is the only way.
At this time, someone happened to knock on the door outside the room, making a knocking sound. Brando subconsciously glanced at the sky, guessing who might be outside the door. Faina turned around and opened the door, and sure enough she found a man standing outside the door.
Sidney with a serious face.
Because Brando promised to help this lady repair the Holy Sword Odyssey, she would show up on time almost every day at this time, not a minute early or a minute late. Over time, others have become accustomed to this.
.
But today, in addition to the lady of the Holy Lion Palace, there was also Delphine who had just walked upstairs standing outside the door.
The prime minister's daughter had a half-smile on her face, but the unapproachable look in her eyes made Faina feel a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"Ms. Sidney, Delphine, you are here." Brando greeted.
Delphine smiled slightly and said that he was just passing by.
Brando turned his head and looked at the expressionless Sidney: "Ms. Sidney."
"Excuse me, Mr. Earl," the voice of the Saint of the Lion Palace was as calm as boiled water as always, "Can you spare some time?"
Brando nodded. He had promised her as early as in Port Fatan that once the battle in Port Fatan was over, he would help her repair the Holy Sword Odyssey. Now the battle in Port Fatan was won. He
Naturally, he would not find any excuse to break his promise, not to mention that he himself was extremely interested in the legendary flame blade.
Upon seeing this, Medisa quickly stood up and winked at Faina, and walked out with the eldest lady in the flower-leaf collar. Although Delphine was always standing outside the door, he had no intention of entering, as if she was really like her.
I mean, she just happened to pass by when she was going upstairs.
After Ms. Sidney entered the room, Medissa closed the door. Then she raised her head and looked at Delphine.
The Prime Minister's daughter was slightly startled and asked thoughtfully: "Do you have anything to say to me, Miss Medissa?"
"I originally thought that you would betray us as soon as you returned to the imperial capital." Medisa said softly.
"But I didn't, right?" Delphine smiled: "We had a great time working together in Port Fatan, Miss Medissa. Why don't you choose to continue to trust me?"
"Because I don't feel sincerity in you," Medissa replied: "Elves can discern the hearts of those with ulterior motives. This is actually about the Silver Elves. I can't guess your thoughts, Miss Delphine. But I
I know you have bad intentions."
"Are you really a silver elf, Miss Medissa?"
But Medissa ignored her.
Delphine sighed: "So I don't understand what you want to say, Miss Medissa. You should understand that nothing I do now is detrimental to you."
"The lord thinks that the conflict between you and him is just a misunderstanding. He appreciates you very much. This appreciation is the same as Ms. Mysriel. However, this does not mean that I will be soft-hearted because of this," Medissa said with a cold expression.
After sitting down, she rarely showed this side in front of outsiders: "I just want to repeat what I said last time -"
"Don't give me the chance to let my spear pierce your heart," she stared coldly into Delphine's eyes and said word by word: "tas-la-giem, eternal hatred, no compromises -
—I swear by the ancient proverb of the Silver Elves, you should have heard of this proverb."
"Oath of feud," Delphine's purple eyes flashed.
…
It was already dark outside the window, and the light of candles lit up inside the house.
Sidney recited a spell, then stretched out her right hand, as if holding the hilt of a sword in the void. She slowly pulled it to the right, and pulled out a sharp sword full of chips and scars from the void.
The blade of the sword has been broken inch by inch, and the shimmering metallic fragments are suspended in the space, but still maintain the shape of the sword. The edge of the blade occasionally flashes a dark red light.
This is the Holy Sword Odysseus.
Brando has seen this scene many times, but every time he is still unavoidably shocked. This is the current form of the Holy Sword. It has already died with the departure of the King of Flame, so the craftsmen cannot recast its body, and
The fragments of the Flame Blade that Sidney brought out from the Temple are actually just more commemorative to the believers of the Temple of Flame. After all, it passed through the hands of the Lord of Flame Gilt, but in essence it is the same as the Flame Blade.
There is no difference between ordinary sword fragments.
He only learned this secret recently, which made him doubt whether the Earth Sword in his hand was the same. Although Harangya was more complete, Sidney told him that if the entity of the Blade of Fire in the material world remained intact,
Its power is not inferior to the Sword of the Earth. As time passes, the legendary faith seeps into the sword, turning it from a mortal object into a powerful ancient holy sword. You must know that Ekko's Lion-Hearted Holy Sword,
It was once just his most ordinary sword.
People's hearts gather together to form beliefs, reputation spreads to create legends, potentially powerful desires and language, and the magic in words engrave the things of this world in the world of laws, so the things passed down from ancient times can exist.
Sidney let go of his hand and motioned for him to come forward.
Brando was already familiar with it. He reached out and took the hilt of the holy sword from the lady's hand. A sense of familiarity came from the sword. In fact, as early as in Port Fatan, he recognized himself through Odyss's soul.
Injecting it into the fragment of the Holy Sword once, at that time he established a vague connection with the law of the Flame Blade.
But it is not that simple to repair Odyssey. The reason why the Soul of the Holy Sword falls into sleep is because its projection in the world of laws is fragmented, and the reason why its projection in the world of laws is fragmented is due to the lack of faith, that is, the loss of existence.
Relying on the present world.
Now, although this ancient soul has awakened again and recognized him, its current form still has no support.
The formation of a belief and the birth of a legend cannot be supported by one person. Even if Brando holds the soul of Odysseus, he cannot give the Flame Blade new life.
What he wants to do is get its glory back.
He held the hilt of the Flame Blade, and the ancient soul in his body immediately resonated with the remaining human form, forming multiple illusions in front of his eyes...
What creates its legend, makes its name spread across the earth, makes people praise it, and makes this holy sword exist in this world?
So, where is the pride of the sword?
It was once the holy sword of the Temple of Fire. The King of Fire used it to open an era. The pure flames separated the thorns of darkness and burned a path in desperate situations.
But what Brando saw in the fantasy was not the most glorious moment of the King of Fire - on the Holy White Plains, he announced the end of an unprecedentedly huge empire. From this moment on, all injustice and oppression came to an end.
, the flame blade Odysseus was in his hand, shining brightly under the sunlight that penetrated the dark clouds.
What he saw was everything burning in the flames, the palace and the city. This scene seemed familiar. A pair of unyielding eyes, the burning anger in their eyes, what burned to ashes in the flames, was ridiculous arrogance.
What gave birth to the unyielding flame is the resistance under oppression. It exists and declares that everyone can firmly grasp their own destiny.
This is the golden flame, symbolizing struggle and an uncompromising vow.
'So I give it, not the empire, to the world——'
This is the way of Jinyan.
