Brando remembered her name. Charles once told him that this woman was Griffin's aunt. Princess Griffin also told him that she once had such an aunt who was her father's fiancée.
He also remembered that Charles's original words when he mentioned the Princess were, "She" may not necessarily see you either.
In other words, this princess may still be alive.
"Is this princess still alive?"
"She is still alive." The old prime minister replied with certainty: "Someone saw her near Prague a few years ago."
"Near Braggs." Brando's voice was trembling: "Where is she now?"
This time the old prime minister shook his head: "No one knows."
"no one knows?"
"No one, unless your father is willing to speak."
Brando thought for a moment and shook his head. Even if he could convince his father now, he still couldn't contact him.
He took a deep breath, and then another breath, before he calmed down. After being silent for a while, he asked: "Lord Niedwin, what does this have to do with our current situation?"
?”
"I think this is the crux of the problem, so I have to see His Majesty. I suspect that someone was behind it and deceived everyone."
"What's the meaning?"
"It can be learned from Mr. Parmid's notes that what happened that day is not consistent with what people later knew. On the first night when all the events occurred, there was no conflict between Her Royal Highness the Princess and your grandfather.
In fact, there were three people who went to the center of the fog and entered the center of the temple - Her Royal Highness the Princess, your grandfather, and an unknown person. But later in front of the Buga people, Her Royal Highness the Princess's statement was completely different from this.
The difference is that your grandfather was excluded from the incident, and the mysterious third person was also hidden. As far as I know, it was this person who actually issued the order for Her Royal Highness to make the decision."
Brando was stunned. "Why?" he asked.
"In order to cover up the truth, but I suspect this was not Her Royal Highness the Princess's original intention, because it will not do any good for the empire." The old prime minister continued: "And this is the answer to the question that Mr. Pamid has been looking for all his life.
Just like Mr. Parmid, I can't find any points of interest in the whole incident. Everyone's actions seem absurd and lack factual basis, as if someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes."
At this point, he stopped and slowly said: "But in recent days, I suddenly figured out some things, and now I think I may have an idea."
"Lord Niedwin, do you mean you can convince Her Majesty the Queen?" Veronica frowned and asked cautiously.
"If I can confirm that everything at the moment is actually contrary to what Her Majesty the Queen expected." The old prime minister replied.
"Is this why you insist on staying with us?" Brando asked.
The old prime minister nodded.
"Then can we hear your conclusion?" the latter asked cautiously.
The old prime minister nodded and replied: "I have been investigating Her Majesty the Queen in recent years. I found that she has been trying to find the little girl. This shows that her efforts over the years have failed without exception. Recently
A failure led to the death of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. After that, Her Majesty the Queen stopped all actions, and the alchemists I contacted also disappeared one after another."
"What does she want to do?" Veronica asked.
"I don't know. But there must be an attempt, but I suspect that the things behind it may not be that simple. On the surface, it seems that the dark dragons are trying to recreate the glory of Odin's era, and are inducing Her Majesty to act like this behind the scenes.
, the three giant dragons are the actual participants, everything seems to make sense - it’s just because Her Majesty the Queen and your grandfather concealed a key piece of information, so the Buga and the Dragon Clan also believed this one-sided story."
"Is that the baby girl?"
The old prime minister nodded.
"I have been thinking about this question for a long time: What prompted Odin to seal a newborn species under the temple. The importance of the birth of the newborn species to the Min'er people is self-evident. I have gone to many places and asked many questions.
I have consulted many documents in the hands of wizards and temples, but there is no record of the birth of this newborn species in the vast documents of the Min'er people. All the evidence points to the many mysteries surrounding this baby girl.
.”
The old man's slightly narrowed eyes reflected a deep light. It was as if it was in such a pair of eyes that he witnessed the end of the supreme era of the Temple of Fire in his hands, and he personally put the laurel crown full of honors on his hands.
On top of Emperor Tuodi's head.
The old man sneered and questioned: "What's strange is that the person behind all this turned a blind eye to this. He obviously has more information than us, and as a pursuer of the Dark Dragon, how could he know anything about Odin?"
Turn a blind eye to such an obvious sign?"
"But what about Her Majesty the Queen?" Veronica asked: "Is she also turning a blind eye to these doubts?"
"For the Silver Queen, there are no such doubts," Brando finally said: "Lord Niedwin has spent decades investigating this matter. And your investigation is based on Knight Pamid.
A more detailed investigation in advance - even based on front-line information and notes. This is by no means a simple task. If it were not for suspicion, the Silver Queen would not be able to conduct such a detailed investigation, and if she was working with
When I work with that mysterious person, his every move is under the surveillance of the other person, and I have no time to care about him."
"I understand, so for the Silver Queen, everything she saw was probably a lie carefully crafted by the other party. If she goes down this path, what she gets will definitely not be what she hopes to get."
"You guessed it right, Your Excellency, Legion Commander, and I'm afraid it's not limited to Her Majesty the Queen. The other party is playing tricks on the three empires, the Bugas and the Dragon Clan. Its purpose is by no means as simple as subverting a country. What happened to that baby girl?
There must be some important secret. I have suspected more than once that the other party's main target may be that baby girl. But what I am not sure about is why Her Majesty the Queen sent her away at that time, and why she concealed the existence of this little girl.
Come down."
The old prime minister sighed: "This question still bothers me until recently. I don't have much time left. I am afraid that only Her Majesty the Queen can answer my question personally."
"In other words, Mr. Niedwin, in fact, you don't have complete evidence?" Brando asked.
"This trip is a narrow escape, and no one is completely sure."
The old man, who was once at the pinnacle of the empire's power, only answered this question calmly.
Brando was silent. So was he. For his promise, and for the old man's sake for the powerful empire he had built, they both had reasons to move forward. Even if they were broken into pieces, they would not hesitate.
He looked at this old man who was already a little rickety, but in his eyes he seemed to see the brilliance and grace that once dominated tens of millions of people.
Some people are born to accomplish great things, their existence is a footnote to the epic, and their corpses will become monuments, whether their enemies like it or not.
The three of them said nothing. However, they already had their own plans in mind.
But Brando was the first to break the silence after a moment and asked: "I wonder what kind of guesses Mr. Nidwin has about the 'other party'?"
The old prime minister seemed to have guessed that he would ask this question, and said: "I have been investigating cultists in recent years. I found that different from the common perception of many nobles, cultists actually have many detailed classifications. First of all, the most important thing is everything.
In fact, the Gathering of All Things and the Tree Shepherds are not on the same path, and the Black Fire Cultists that many people are familiar with are not subordinates of the Gathering of All Things, but are closer to the Tree Shepherds. The Tree Shepherds have twelve patriarchs,
In addition to Andesa and Mayad who are imprisoned in the imperial capital, there are also twelve people including the Sorrow Messenger Funica, the Blood Lord Roclaire, the accuser Tiamas, etc. These twelve people are called Xu De
The twelve heads of Ra, which is also the origin of the twelve patriarchs. But the sea monster has twelve heads, but only one body. The body of this behemoth is called the Ring of Ashes. It started when the Druid of the Blight split from the Ring of the World.
This organization has been controlled by a corrupted golden people for generations."
"I dug into the details and finally found out some information about its previous leader. It is a bone dragon that still lives in the area near Osopa'a. This skull dragon has a lot of history during its lifetime. It belongs to the evil dragon Foccia.
Subordinate. Ostensibly a member of the Dark Dragon, he often encouraged the dragon to return to the glory of Odin's era. However, it was later discovered that he had an affair with the Tree Shepherd and died at the hands of the dragon's own people. Since then, the dragons have
There is some taboo against the dark dragon lineage. Unfortunately, the dragon clan still underestimates this guy. I have evidence to prove that it is not related to the tree shepherd. It is the actual leader of the tree shepherd in that era, and it
After that, he did not completely die, but became undead and fled into Madara..."
"...It is very likely that at least one of the three black dragons that infiltrated the empire sixty years ago was a student of this skull dragon, that is, the leader of this generation of tree herders, the head of the twelve patriarchs, the evil dragon lord Ke
Lexis."
Brando immediately had a clear answer in his heart. Dragon Queen Gwendolyn strung the missing bead on the thread, and everything became clearer.
Why did Andesa and Mayad suddenly appear? Why was the situation in Rushta City so strange? If the Dragon Queen Gwendolyn was also a member of the Tree Shepherds, then everything would make sense.
And if there had been a potential member of the Tree Shepherds like Gwendolyn lurking around the Silver Queen who was still an imperial princess sixty years ago, it would have kidnapped the Queen in the name of reviving the glory of the Dark Dragon Odin's era.
His Majesty's expectations for the empire, coupled with some lies, can indeed provide a reasonable explanation for everything that has happened today.
But there is still a problem.
"But how can you confirm that this was not Her Majesty's intention?" Brando asked.
No lie in this world is perfect. Although the Silver Queen may not have evidence, sometimes there is no need for evidence to question. If she had no will, how could she go further and further on this road?
After all, Her Majesty the Queen today is no longer the kind-hearted Princess Her Majesty she was back then.
"If so," the old prime minister replied, "if I can die on this land in the end, I can at least have an excuse to explain to Grandodie——"
"I don't want to die."
"You can choose to quit." The old man looked at Brando with a smile, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"At least I won't place my hopes on others."
The old prime minister smiled slightly.
Veronica was still silent on the side, probably digesting this information. When Brando heard the truth from Turaman, his reaction was no better than that of the Legion Commander.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. There were still ten minutes left. It was already late at night, and the forest was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left. Even the night owls had left the canopy of the trees, and only a full moon hung above the hills.
Kou Hua didn't know when he came to him on a white wolf and said, "There is someone over there in the forest."
Before Brando had time to ask, the nobles started to make a commotion.
"Who's over there?"
Someone asked loudly in the distance.
Brando couldn't help but wipe his sweat. If this was a sneak attack, the answer would be a few sharp arrows. In the game, players often do such stupid things, and they learn to behave after a few times.
Fortunately, the visitor had no ill intentions, and a familiar voice soon came from the forest: "Don't do anything, we are on our own."
When Brando heard this, his expression relaxed.
This is Charles's voice.
It was Charles and the others who walked out of the bushes. The young wizard's attendant walked at the front, with a smoky look on his body. However, when he fought with the Flame Family Knights at Cold Dew Villa, there were no wizards besieging him. This can only mean that
They also encountered fighting on the road.
Behind Charles were Morpheus and Andrrig, both of whom were covered in blood, which was more telling, but judging from their condition, the blood seemed to come from the enemy.
"Why are you here now?" Brando asked with a frown.
"I encountered a little trouble on the road. Lord, I can't contact you. How about it, Miss Akane?" Charles looked around and found that there was no trace of the mountain girl. He quickly stopped and said, "Is something wrong?"
"Akane was transferred early."
Brando replied, looking at Charles and the vampire siblings behind him: "Are you okay?"
"Kill with mercy." Andrigue said coldly. This standard Andrigue answer immediately frightened the nobles who wanted to get close to this beautiful lady.
"Why are all the women under this guy like this?" Cruz's aristocratic gentlemen, who are romantic by nature, felt hurt in their hearts.
Fortunately, they can still find solace. At least the little elf princess is still gentle and elegant, with the standard demeanor of a noble daughter.
Brando didn't care what these people thought. He had long been accustomed to the vampire lady's way of speaking with a gun and a stick. He just asked: "What's wrong?"
"The city is a mess," Charles shrugged: "We fought a battle with the cultists, and by the way, we brought back a guy. If we want to re-enter the city, maybe he can help us."
It has to be said that among all the people present, this young wizard attendant knows the temperament of his lord the best.
