Bai Zhui asked. She saw Brando's expression was different, and she had a vague guess in her heart.
"That fragment is my main purpose for going to the East Metz area of the Cruz Empire. Otherwise, a dark orb alone would not be enough to make me leave. I am not safe in areas outside of Madara. The eyes of All Things Returning are all-pervasive.
."
After confirming this, the woman's voice calmed down and she explained.
After hearing what she said, Brando understood. He grasped the crack of the glacier and climbed back to his previous position, while calming down from the short-term shock.
It has to be said that under the stimulation of this woman, he seemed to have regained the acumen that originally belonged to the game. After carefully analyzing the pros and cons, he asked: "You want to get this fragment from me?"
?”
Bai hurriedly said: "No, it's an exchange. I can pay a price that satisfies you. Anyway, you are not interested in eternal things."
But Brando's thoughts have changed now.
He shook his head and said: "It is impossible for anyone not to be interested in eternal things. I only said this before because I am different from you, Ms. Tiamas. You can take it away at any cost.
It's something that doesn't belong to you originally, but I can't, because I don't think there is anything more important in this world than adhering to principles. And in fact, what I want to remind you is that the eternal thing does not belong to you yet, and it has not been engraved.
Put someone’s name on it.”
Bai shut her mouth. Of course she thought this was a kind of bargaining, because that was her nature: "You mean you want me to raise my bid. It doesn't matter. I don't care. You can offer whatever you want."
come out."
These words made Brando raise his eyebrows. He really couldn't stand this woman's thinking logic. Finally he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Then leave you to me."
An awe-inspiring chill rose from Brando's back.
"You are playing with fire," Bai's voice suddenly became several degrees colder: "That is absolutely impossible. I am the princess of the empire, not a bastard. All other requirements are beyond that."
"So, don't make promises that you can't make. And what you said before is not the same as what you are saying now. I have not forgotten that poor M. de Villefort. Maybe you should consider him before making your own statement.
feelings?"
"Damn it, shut up!" Bai Zhen was irritated: "I don't want to discuss this issue. If you want to make this deal with me, don't try to anger me. Don't think that I must get that from you.
Fragments."
But Brando didn't care at all about this threat. He replied calmly: "That's exactly what I want to say, Ms. Tiamas."
Then there was a long silence between the two.
Until a long ice gap appeared in front of his field of vision, which could only be passed by one person, Brando was delighted. Climbing in this place was much easier than climbing on a glacier cliff. He subconsciously accelerated his ascent with his hands and feet.
speed.
Not long after speeding up, bright strips of light appeared above the ice crevice. The light shone down from the ice, forming a long, magnificent tunnel that extended forward for about several miles. Brando looked at
At this scene, you understand that this place is very close to the ground, and this light can only come from above the ice sheet. This means that the ice layer is quite thin in this place.
But his silence finally made Bai unable to hold on any longer, "What are your conditions..." The latter had to take the initiative to speak. His voice was a little hoarse, as if it was not coming from the same person.
She obviously seemed to be suffering a little. The search for the eternal thing for thousands of years had almost become an obsession for her, and this idea even made her a little paranoid and crazy.
"Of course," Bai said coldly, "except for that condition."
"Which one?" Brando sneered.
"You know it, you bastard!"
Brando shook his head. He understood that he had finally taken back the control of the conversation. This was not difficult, not because he was much smarter than the other party, but because he understood that he had the absolute initiative in this conversation.
There is nothing you can do about it for nothing, and you even ask him for help. If you can't dominate the conversation, then you have failed too much.
Previously, he did not argue with the other party because this woman was Medisa's sister, but the main reason was that there was no conflict of interest between the two.
But it's different now
Brando knew very well that if he could not take the initiative in the following dialogue, then some of his ideas would not be realized.
He is also determined to get those fragments.
"You still don't quite understand what I mean, Ms. Tiamas." He took the initiative to remind the other party: "I am not telling you this because I mean to insult you, but because I want to tell you what we have done in this transaction.
The statuses are equal. Of course, I have more resources. If you want to get something from me, I can choose not to accept your proposal. Don't take everything for granted."
He continued: "You are Medisa's sister and the eldest princess of the silver elves, but unfortunately you are a human. Your identity has no binding force on me, so in terms of status, we are also equal.
Do you understand?"
Bai was silent, but Brando knew that her silence was actually a kind of acquiescence.
However, he did not take the initiative to speak. Instead, he accelerated towards the ground. The glacier was getting brighter and brighter, and the surrounding ice changed from the previous faint blue to the current light blue, and gradually turned towards the colorless and clear color.
direction evolution.
After a while, Bai's voice sounded faintly again, and she still asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want?"
Although the question is almost exactly the same as before, the meaning it represents is completely different. The princess of the Silver Elf is not an idiot. Her skills over hundreds of years have also proved this. She may be a little paranoid, but it is definitely not stupid.
It doesn't matter.
She understood that what Brando was talking to her now was definitely not about principles and equality, but about putting forward her own conditions. These words only meant one thing, that is, if she wanted to get that thing, she had to do it according to the other party's wishes.
Her question was actually a compromise.
Brando nodded.
"Let's talk about those fragments again. You said that Tumen brought them out from a place called Osopa'a," he asked: "Is this a legend or is it true?"
"It's true."
"You heard it from Villefort. Do you have any other evidence to prove it?"
"I lurked in the Unity of All Things and found some information to confirm this. Tumen had been to this place before, but I don't know whether it was by accident or because of Odin's instruction."
Brando fell silent. Although his hands and feet were not slowing down at all and he was still climbing towards the fast surface, he already believed Bai's words in his heart.
Historically, there was a place called Osopao in the Wilderness of the Four Realms. The Miner people, the Silver People and humans once had a great battle there. Tumen is said to have died in that battle. Osopao
The place where Hubei once was is today's Land of Floating Dusk, but just like the final battlefield, people can no longer find the location of that ancient battlefield.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in Warnd. Many places in Warnd are between the material world and the world of law, just like the throne of Himmelud and the Wallachi where they are currently located. They are themselves a kind of
The law, or the manifestation of the kingdom of God on the earth, may never appear again for some reason.
However, Brando remembered that Tumen once gave him a treasure map. The treasure map was buried deep in his mind, and he could only vaguely remember some details. Tumen said that when his strength reaches a certain level, he can
He understands what is depicted on the treasure map, but now that he has reached the extreme state of existence, he still has a little understanding of the treasure map.
When he was sorting out Antitina's father's belongings in Prague, he got a hand-drawn map from his belongings and letters. At that time, he discovered that the map was similar to the treasure map left by Tumen in his memory.
They have the same purpose, and the secret text on that picture is marked with a noun like Osopa'o.
These clues coincide with what Bai said.
When Bai mentioned Villefort before, Brando felt a little familiar. He vaguely remembered that Antitina mentioned such a name when talking about her family with him, which seemed to be that of her grandfather's father.
generation of people.
And Antitina did move from Gendenel to Prague when her father's family fell into ruin. Of course, although it may be a coincidence or the same name, after all, the name Villefort is in Eruin.
It's considered common, not a rare or uncommon name.
But the name Villefort has such a close relationship with the heart of Sifach, the eternal thing, and the place name Osopa'a. The discovery of such a map among Antitina's father's relics is obviously not only
It's a coincidence.
Besides, Brando also remembered another thing. When he found Borg Nathan's body in the Forbidden Orchard, one of the fragments was found next to the body.
All the evidence points to the truth, that is, Villefort is most likely Antitina's ancestor, and one of the children of his deceased wife that Bai left behind is Antitina's grandfather.
Antitina is a descendant of a branch of the Sifah royal family?
A possibility flashed through Brando's mind that made him feel a little awe-inspiring. He suddenly remembered why he felt familiar with the necklace Chiara gave him.
