She seemed to think absentmindedly for a while, then raised her head to look at him, her light brown eyes as heavy as a pair of brown gemstones. The young knight raised her left hand, hesitated for a moment, and then removed the ring on her index finger.
Take it off: "Brando, put this ring on, you need it more than me outside."
Brando was slightly startled. He looked at the fireball ring. The bright rubies shone brightly in the candlelight.
He looked at Freya again, who turned her face slightly and said: "This ring originally belonged to you. I, I... I just borrowed it temporarily, have you forgotten?"
At this time, the bartender who had been chatting with him stood up, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Man, it seems that you are in a little trouble. I will go and work first, and I will come back later to tell you the legend about that wine glass.
"After that, the other party picked up the cup and wisely walked to the other side of the bar to deal with a few drunk mercenaries.
When the girl knight with a long ponytail saw this scene, she couldn't help but subconsciously shut her mouth and couldn't say a word.
Brando shook his head and smiled, but the faint smile on his face could not hide the warmth in his heart. He looked at Freya and once again felt the heavy weight of the word partner in his heart. He originally only gave Freya
Ya left a message, but she didn't expect that this stubborn girl from the countryside of Butchi would insist on meeting Roman after meeting him.
Of course he knew that the other party didn't just come to give him a ring, but also the concern contained in this gesture.
Freya was in a state of confusion at the moment, and she clenched her fists. When she heard the news that Brando and others were leaving, she had only one idea in her mind - even if she ran out without a clue.
, and just seeing everyone once - that feeling is like a child who can't live without adults.
After calming down, my face felt hot.
She has been thinking about this question. She wants to go to the Royal Cavalry Academy in Eruin alone, leaving everyone, especially Brando. Can she really do what Brando said to her by herself?
He has the power to protect little Ferris and everyone else.
Freya felt that her heart was full of hesitation and doubt about the uncertain future. Brando was like a life-saving straw in front of her, but when things came to an end, she did not dare to reach out and hold on to him tightly.
.
The female knight stared at Brando's clothes and was stunned for a while.
Of course Brando saw through her thoughts, because Freya's thoughts seemed to be written on her face. He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and took the ring. The female knight was stunned for a moment, then raised her head: "You,
Did you accept it?"
"Of course, how dare I refuse the ring presented by Lady Valkyrie." Brando smiled. But he knew that Freya would not encounter any danger at the Royal Knights Academy, and he did have one more point of strength now.
One point, if not for this, he would never accept this ring just to make Freya feel at ease.
"Valkyrie?"
"In my hometown, there is a story about the Valkyrie. The legendary Valkyrie is so heroic. She is on a war horse, holding a swallow-tailed flag in one hand and a long sword in the other, leading her people to victory. Protecting her
Country." Brando looked at her and smiled slightly, thinking about another Valkyrie story.
At the end of Warnd's stormy first era, the lady on the war horse, wearing silver armor, looking at each of her subordinates with shining light brown eyes. Brando remembers that the background should be
It was the gray sky of Fort McGuer, and the broken flag of the Silver Cross Legion was hanging weakly on the spear - and the female general was riding her beloved horse - Silver Sand. She was shorter than many soldiers - and not as tall as
How tall is Freya now?
At that time, she still had the long ponytail tied behind her head since the Butcher era. The long brown ponytail hair that made people feel friendly on the battlefield represented a name that could be relied on. It made everyone feel at ease.
, because that is Freya, the guardian of Eruin, the Valkyrie.
Back then, Freya just lowered her head and looked at each of them, and drove her beloved horse in a silver shirt slowly past each of them.
It's raining lightly in the sky.
Her only subordinates were more than a hundred college students from the Royal Knights Academy. Among them were many descendants of great nobles, and some even became their most difficult enemies later. But at that time, they were all following the female knight.
, a group of knights in white shirts followed her and appeared in the eyes of these defeated soldiers.
When depression, despair and desolation enveloped their hearts, every one of them lost confidence. Eruin was finished. This dilapidated country was no match for the powerful Madara. They felt sorry for themselves, shook their heads and sighed.
I would choose to be born in a country where there is no hope, no tomorrow, only the humiliation of failure.
But when these young knights appeared, it was like a ray of pure light, like a sharp sword slowly parting the dark clouds in the sky.
Brando will never forget that scene in his life——
The first sentence the female general said was this:
"Soldiers, please turn back and join me. Let's defeat Madala——"
"Please forgive me for not being able to understand your cold, hunger, fear and pain at this moment, but I can see a deep desolation in you, and I feel the same for you. Because at this moment, our motherland
, if we fail, we will retreat, and the undead will sweep over our homeland. We are losers, no matter how we excuse ourselves."
"We can't choose all of this. This frustration makes us suffocate. Is this really the only way we can do it? Soldiers? No, please turn back, but we at least have a chance. Let me take you to go again.
Fight once."
"Please trust me."
She put her hand on her chest.
"I will fight alongside you."
"I am willing to take all responsibility for this."
"Follow me and let me die in front of you. Let me use this promise to exchange for the courage of a man -"
That was the first time the silver lily shone on the battlefield. The legend of the Valkyrie has since been written in Eruin into a poem that has moved countless players. Speaking of this guardian of Eruin, perhaps more than most
NPC, players will have a deeper memory of such a name.
Because she brought them out of the fate of failure, gave them glory, and made the name Eruin a pride. She is their flag, the source of pride for Eruin players, and they are willing to fight for her.
Because each of them is willing to fight for their own honor.
Eruin's war song was composed by an ordinary player who was not famous on the forum, but it was sung by countless people——
We are proud Eruin people.
Even if you fail, you cannot lower your noble head.
Our courage is engraved on our swords.
Our faith is the battle flag that protects us.
The blood of the Eruin people flows on the road to longing.
What we yearn for——
One day, the flag of Silver Lily will be raised again.
What we yearn for——
It is Eruin's faith that will never end.
When we die, the voice of our soul still echoes.
echoing across this land.
It tells -
This is our homeland
The land we love so much.
Brando lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. When he raised his head again, he saw Freya lowering her head and whispering to him: "How can I do the same thing as the legendary character, Brando?
I am a very stupid girl, I just want to try my best."
Yes! Your hard work is the root of this legend.
The young man looked at each other, and what he admired was Freya's seriousness. Even if it was a small thing, this girl from the countryside of Butchi would do her best to do her best. Maybe she didn't know that she
What kind of potential does it have? But one day, gold will shine movingly from the mud at the bottom of the river.
He smiled: "Just think of it as a dream."
Freya glanced at him, nodded, and asked: "Is it the legend of the Highland Knights?"
Brando nodded.
Freya fell silent, and after a while, she whispered: "Is there anything else you want to tell me, Brando?"
"No, wait..." Brando hesitated for a moment before calling the other party. He thought for a while and asked: "Freya, what do you think of Eruin?" Brando said this.
At this time, he deliberately lowered his voice. In fact, his eyes had already swept across the bar, paying attention to whether anyone was paying attention to them.
"Eruin? How is it?" The girl was stunned.
"If you compare the country to a person, Eruin is now like a dying old man who is terminally ill." Brando replied.
Freya was stunned for a moment.
Over this period of time, she was no longer the naive female militia captain she used to be. After witnessing the filth among the nobles, she was full of worries about the upper-class people who controlled the fate of the country, but she didn't understand the problem.
Out there.
Is this how it should be?
Or something went wrong——
The restless girl can only comfort herself. In this world, where there is light, there is darkness. Maybe everything will get better. This is just a cycle of history. But deep down, she always wants to know whether it is just a cycle of history.
It was just that my previous understanding of the world was naive.
But she didn't expect that Brando's first words asking her to stay eliminated all the comforting thoughts in her heart, leaving only the worst one.
For a moment, Freya couldn't say a word.
"Freya, listen to me." Brando hesitated before saying such words. He was always worried that he would affect the future path of the Valkyrie. But in the end he made up his mind - because of Freya
Ya is not just the Valkyrie, she is just a shadow in his heart - she is more than that, she is his trustworthy partner.
He has no real relatives in this world, and Freya has also lost the parents who raised her. In comparison, both of them need each other's support more. In fact, since that night in Qingcun, Brando has
Once you understand that you are bound to this Valkyrie, it will be impossible to sever it again.
It's like two lonely, weak people moving forward relying on each other in the dark. It's hard for Brando to imagine that without these people like Butcher, he can establish a connection with the world without feeling lonely all the time.
And for Freya at this moment, the same is true.
"Eruin may no longer be able to return to the peace of the past. Only drastic changes can save this country. Of course, drastic changes may also tear it apart, but each of us living in this era can only try our best to save it.
I don’t know how many people can see through this. I don’t know how many people can understand what I mean, but Freya, do you understand?”
The female knight looked at him blankly, but nodded subconsciously.
"Do you understand now why I want you to go to the Royal Knights Academy?"
"but I……"
"Freya, do your best."
"I don't know if this is true, Brando, but I want to believe you," Freya took a breath and said uneasily: "But my mind is a little confused now. I only feel scared, Bu
What about everyone who agrees? Is there nothing we can do to change this?"
"So I am also trying my best, Freya, I need your help."
The girl looked at him and stopped: "What...should I do?"
"If anything happens, just support Her Royal Highness Princess. I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Grifiine of Eruin has a reputation as a virtuous person. If anyone from the Korcova Dynasty can lead this country out of trouble,
We can only trust her." Brando thought for a moment and replied: "I believe you will have a chance to meet her at Wangli Knight Academy."
"Brando, why do you know so much?" Freya couldn't help but ask, "Are you kidding me?"
"I think so too, but when you are a chess player unconsciously, you can see the overall situation clearly whether you want to or not. You will understand in the future, Freya." Brando smiled: "
Don’t worry too much, we will all meet again. Freya, don’t forget what I said, I will stand behind you——”
The girl knight lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then whispered: "I understand, then I'm leaving."
When Freya said this, she was as lonely as a solitary migratory bird. When she turned around, Brando had the impulse to call out this girl from Butchi country. But in the end he endured it.
After that, Freya has her own way, and he can't be so selfish.
But it was at this time that the girl stopped again and turned around: "Brando."
"kindness?"
"I...please help me take care of Roman, she is my best friend."
After saying this, she walked out of the bar without looking back. Brando was left alone, carefully trying to figure out the meaning of her last sentence. But in the end, the young man just shook his head.
He shook his head and picked up the wine glass placed on the bar.
