Bottom sat on a thick tree stump - it should be an elm or beech tree, a tree species that is not uncommon in the Golan-Elsen area - and stepped on the entangled tree roots with his feet.
, couldn't help but sneeze. The experienced mercenary rubbed his nose and raised his head with an incredible look.
This area is an abandoned lumberyard on the outskirts of Prague. There are sparse tree stumps scattered on the edge of the forest. In fact, more wood comes from the upper reaches of the Pine River. People just intercept the floating logs here and process them. The wood processing factory
A corner of the building is hidden behind a pine forest not far away, and only a corner of the building can be seen in this direction.
The time is close to the moment when the first moon rises, the first wave of magical power. The stage of the day that the Matatanians call the 'sleep of all things' - at this stage the planeswalker can only cast 'blue'
', 'Black', 'Gray', 'Cyan' and 'White' five types of cards. Usually they will arrange defense and lay the groundwork for counterattack at this time.
When the silver crescent moon appeared over the pine forest, Brando saw the last few birds flapping their wings through the shadowy forest, and then everything was silent except for the intermittent chirping of night owls in the distance.
The city of Prague is already far to the north. Standing on the edge of the forest, looking northward, there is a bright light along the gray hills in the north, as if the stars in the sky have fallen on the dark earth, forming a bright pearl and weaving a big net -
—The lights are brilliant.
Brando is no stranger to this place. When he was young, he practiced swordsmanship with his grandfather here every morning when he was young. For another soul, this place will become the den of a local brotherhood of thieves in about seven years.
— Later, the regent and princess suppressed unscrupulous merchants, and the underground auction market in the city was moved to this place for a time.
But that happened many days later, so that the memory has a faded light yellow color, like an old photo. What makes Brando a little confused is that he can't tell whether it is a memory from before or after.
.
Antitina stood a little uneasily in the night. She was wearing a beautiful moon-white dress. She had never been to the outskirts of Prague so late before. Of course, when she was still the daughter of a noble family, she
I don’t often attend the outings of wealthy ladies.
Antitina has always thought that her temperament is somewhat withdrawn, but she has always been proud that this is because she is more knowledgeable than those short-sighted ladies.
She stared at the silver moon over the pine forest. The dark forest made her feel nervous, but there was also a vague curiosity. It was like the romantic feelings of an adventurer and the excitement of pursuing the unknown took root in her heart - making her want to
Keep hanging out with these people.
This kind of life is new to her and full of unknowns.
But the lady still resisted putting down her girlish feelings. She took a breath to calm down, and took over Bottom's words and replied: "I think if Tester wasn't here to test us, I'm afraid all things will be unified for a while."
What is being planned in the recent period requires us to attract the attention of the nobles. Of course, I think it is more likely that it is a combination of both."
"That's just right, Lord Lord, we'd better not get involved with those devils in human skin." Bottom sat on the tree stump and said loudly: "Now that guy wearing a noble skin is not here, he can't threaten him.
Any of us. Didn’t your Excellency say that we should go to Denel? Let’s go there together with Your Majesty! Go far away and see what he can do to us?”
Antitina listened to Bottom's words and glanced at Brando. She only learned today that Brando's true identity turned out to be not only a high-level member of the recently famous mercenary group, but also the leader behind the scenes.
, which makes the young man in her eyes even more mysterious.
But what made her even more determined was that Viscount Tester, who had been searching her secretly, unexpectedly turned out to be a member of the All-Union Society. Eruin, who was organized on the coast of the Abyssal Sea, was not just notorious.
So much so that the girl's face turned pale when she heard that name.
Although Antitina never thought about whether Brando would lie to her, the young knight seemed to have no need to do so.
Antitina soon saw Brando shaking his head.
Brando withdrew his gaze from his attributes. With his rich knowledge and experience in the game, he had figured out the profession of planeswalker - or rather, planeswalker was not a profession.
He saw in his career list that he still only had several identities and occupations: mercenary, militia, civilian, and scholar. This meant that the planeswalker itself was not counted among the occupations, and it was not even considered an identity or a secondary occupation.
Brando thought about it and understood the meaning of this existence. The core of the planeswalker is the destiny card. It should be a huge and special item system. Players can simulate and realize the abilities of any profession through this system.
.
To put it bluntly, this thing in the game is just a set of rules that are separate from the original rules. Although it looks very strong, if every player can master it, it will not be considered an abnormal and outrageous ability.
Of course, if there was only genius, why would it appear in this world instead of existing in the original game?
However, what makes Brando feel a little novel is that it is obvious that this item system is capable of growth, and this growth is not limited to relying on collecting more set cards, but is related to the holder's personal ability.
Closely related. He found that when his warrior level was only level 10, he only had four cards in his hand. But when he upgraded to level 13, the number of cards in his hand had increased to five, and the red and gold colors in the element pool symbolized the knight deck.
And the volume of gray elements has increased by one level.
But this time he heard Bottom's words.
In some ways, Bottom's words can be said to be the voice of his heart, but Brando knew that he couldn't think about the problem like this at this time. He was no longer the simple player he was before.
He has realized that perhaps being on the line with the Oneness of All Things may be a decision that is beneficial to him. Of course, he does not want to join the ranks of those guys who have no regard for human life. On the contrary, what he wants to do is how to play Infernal Affairs.
So he shook his head.
"What?" Bottom was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Lord, do you want to work with them? But those people are not good people. They never have a good reputation."
Antitina originally wanted to say something, but now she kept silent. Brando's decision made her relieved. In fact, Brando thought so, and she originally wanted to remind Brando that all things will be reunited.
The power is not small. Since Test can let him leave with confidence, there must be a back-up plan.
She didn't want the 'Amber Sword' mercenary group to make a strong enemy before they left Golan-Elson. As Brando's staff, Antitina had subconsciously regarded this mercenary group as
acquired the young knight's private property.
"Of course I understand who those people are, Bottom. But in everything, you have to consider the consequences. Since I proposed this to that guy, I will not tell a lie that will be exposed in a moment." Brando said to Bottom.
.
"So, aren't we going to incite those refugees to riot?" Bottom couldn't help scratching his head, somewhat reluctantly.
"Of course not. Brando must have a way. It's like this. When we were in Butchi, we all called him the Almighty Brando!" Little Roman stood by the river, bent down to pick up the stone pieces and put them on the table.
There was nothing there. When she heard Bottom's words, she couldn't help but turned around and said.
When did you give me such a nickname in Butchi again? Brando glanced at this damn girl and couldn't help but think angrily.
However, little Roman's current behavior does not match her current clothing and temperament at all——
She and Antitina both changed their clothes, and the original outfit had been damaged in the commotion at the auction house.
Roman didn't bring any change of clothes. During the trip, Brando bought a few pieces for her from a nearby businessman's house. The businesswoman kept them as treasures; but this time she temporarily wore the ones from Antitina's house.
A long dress - Little Roman looked particularly good in that black gold-trimmed dress. The slender waist supported a wide and gorgeous skirt, and only a circle of white lace was exposed at the bottom.
petticoat.
Originally, she walked with her own unique temperament - full of confidence, holding her head up and holding her chest out - and the well-developed lines of her breasts showed a beautiful curve under the tight waist skirt and top. Andy looked at it
Tina felt jealous.
However, Antitina still specially tied up her light brown hair with floral decorations, so that when the little businessman fox walked out of the room, she proudly turned around to Brando, and then she was sweet.
She smiled sweetly and gave him a wink. Brando was still a little dazed when he saw her.
However, she looks very much like those businesswomen who spend a lot of money in Port Ampel. It’s just that no one of that status would roll up their sleeves and expose their white arms. She bent down and carefully picked up the stones on the river beach.
See which one can fly farther on the water.
In fact, Brando doesn't even understand why this guy has to wear this troublesome outfit when he comes to the wild.
Of course, the answer to this question is probably: because I am a businessman. Such a mindless answer.
After hearing Roman's words, Bottom looked at Brando doubtfully.
Brando then nodded: "In less than half a month, these refugees gathering in the south of Prague will naturally have problems. The upcoming celebration will appease them for a while, but in the end it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Those nobles who live a comfortable life are
You won’t understand.”
"Really?" Antitina looked curious this time.
Brando nodded. The August riots were not a big event in history. But they were enough to give Test an answer, and they did it effortlessly.
Brando had no intention of stopping this commotion, not to mention he didn't have the power. It was difficult for the refugees to survive and resettle them. The nobles were unwilling to take on this burden, and no one could take it.
That's tens of thousands of eating mouths.
Bottom opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that the complicated problem he was thinking of would be solved easily in Brando's mouth. He couldn't help but look back at Antitina, who was vaguely worried - she wasn't as big as that big one.
The grinning red-bearded mercenary could only hold the simplest lines of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in his head - she always felt that Brando seemed to know something more than each of them.
Brando saw the lame man walking out of the dark forest with someone, and he felt refreshed. He asked the lame man to investigate what was going on in the city. It seemed that he should have some clues.
Sure enough, as soon as the lame man and the two short night thieves emerged from the bushes, they said to Brando: "I found out, it was those losers who neglected their duties, and those undead came into the city disguised as businessmen."
"Who?" Brando asked.
"A cavalry captain named Calancado." The lame man replied. He wanted to say something else, but saw Brando shaking his head. Brando happened to know this Calancado, because this guy was the future
Commander of the Silver Winged Cavalry Regiment of the White Mane Legion——
"This guy is a royalist." Brando muttered to himself.
It turns out that dereliction of duty may not be that simple. He couldn't help but think of the fires at the auction. This matter may have something to do with the royal family. In "The Amber Sword", everything that happened on this day in Prague was later revealed.
It was covered up, otherwise Brando would not know anything about it.
This shows that there must be an unknown force behind it.
The royal family is playing with fire.
Brando thought clearly about the cause and effect, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. It's a shame that Obergu VII could figure it out. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? Fortunately, Instalong didn't care about Golan Elson, otherwise he would have taken advantage of the situation to strike.
, the situation in the south of Eruin is probably a mess.
Of course, he couldn't help but think maliciously - maybe Auberge VII was thinking that the situation in the south had become so corrupt that it could no longer be corrupted.
