"But I am a member of the royal party," the old man shook his head, "Lord, do you think I will agree?" He raised the water bag in his hand, "Or do you think that with this small kindness and righteousness, you think you can impress the lord?
I?"
"Master, you might as well listen to me," Brando replied: "Different things have different meanings in different situations. Blindly ignoring change is the way to self-destruction. Everton
Master Beilu must have experienced your lesson personally once."
The old man snorted softly: "Then tell me, young man."
"Less than two weeks ago, with the support of Queen Anna, the eldest son of the king has been declared the heir," Brando replied, "In addition to the Sifah family, he is also supported by the Marquis of Jinghua Kluge and him.
Although Master Beilu has been in prison for more than three years, who are these people? You should be familiar with them, right?"
Beru lost his voice and said "Ah", "Why did you let that guy Klug take control of the kingdom, and what were you doing to beat Mr. Fulwell and the others?" He suddenly stopped, "Where is your Majesty?"
Brando kept silent and just looked at him.
The old man was stunned for a moment, his pale hair trembled, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly deepened a lot. He seemed to have aged ten years. "How could it be possible...how could it be...in this case...our efforts would be in vain..."
It's not in vain..." He murmured to himself for a long time, but as expected of a man who had gone through ups and downs, he finally stabilized and asked: "Well, Mr. Fulwell will definitely not be a mediocre person.
Tell me, my lord, there must be another reason why they allowed that clown Kluge to take advantage of him?"
Brando nodded, but he thought in his heart that Marquis of Jinghua Kluge was not a clown. He was one of the core members of the Association for the Unity of All Things. How could he be a mediocre person. But thinking so, he would still
A series of events that happened since the Black Rose War were gradually revealed, and from his mouth, the meaning of this war became completely different, because at this moment, I am afraid no one in the entire Eruin understands the darkness adjacent to him better than him.
What earth-shaking changes are taking place in our country.
"You mean the Madara invasion?"
"Exactly."
Belu's face became worse and worse. He finally raised his hand and interrupted: "So, the root cause of everything is the mercury rod in your mouth?" A glimmer of light flashed in the old man's cloudy pupils: "You mean mercury?
The staff has reappeared? Loki’s mercury staff?”
Brando was stunned. He did not expect that the master craftsman actually knew this thing. You must know that the legend of the mercury staff is not widely spread in the human world. Even in the game, Eruin and other people in the human world
It was only in the second year that players intermittently sorted out a series of background stories and tasks about the mercury staff.
"Do you know this mercury staff," Brando asked, "Master Belu?"
"Of course." Beru replied.
He suddenly patted the dust on his chest and stood up. Although he was a little unsteady, he still straightened up unsteadily: "Not only do I know the mercury staff, I also know how the legendary staff of darkness came from.
.”
"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Brando's eyes. He had never heard of the origin of the mercury staff even in the game. He only knew that this artifact first appeared in Loki's hands, and then after countless time
The silence that followed reappeared in Madara, a land where darkness thrived. But as for its previous history, and whether it once belonged to that god, he knew nothing about it. He was a little surprised.
Yes, I didn’t expect there to be an extra plot here, but I don’t know how much this master craftsman knows.
"There is more than one mercury staff." But as soon as Belu opened his mouth, Brando was nailed there as if he was petrified.
"What?"
"Actually, it is a set of artifacts," the master craftsman said calmly: "It's just that I used to think it was just a legend, but today, Lord, you said that the mercury staff has reappeared, so it is very likely that this legend is becoming a reality.
Then the next one -" he paused, raised his head and stared at the young man, his cloudy eyes seemed to become extremely bright at this moment, "is the flaming scepter."
"Fire Scepter?" Brando was slightly stunned: "What is this?" The doubts in his heart became more and more serious. He was confident that he was knowledgeable enough in the game, but for the words of this master craftsman
But I know nothing about it, and I don’t even have the slightest impression. Logically speaking, a treasure of this level will cause a sensation once it appears in the world, just like the mercury staff back then. Although Madara has strictly blocked the news,
It only took one year for it to be confirmed among players.
"Lord, have you heard of the legend of the Four Sages?"
"Of course," Brando nodded, "King of Fire Geert, Queen of the Winds Saint Osor, Great Priest Faenzan, Saint Airanta, how could I not know about this."
Belu's eyes flashed, as if he had traveled through a thousand years and returned to the past era of the War of Saints. He said in a recalling tone: "In those days, Gilt, Saint Osor, Faenzan
In order to defeat the Dragon of Darkness, Airanta clearly obtained the approval of the ancient kings." He turned back and said: "This is an event recorded in the Creation Epic of the Cruz people, the Poem of Heaven. Your Excellency, you don't know about it, right?"
"The four 'Hermits' defeated the 'Emperor' in the darkness -" Brando said subconsciously. But he was suddenly startled, and another scene appeared in front of him in the darkness, under a bright full moon.
, the sight of a dark tower stretching into the sky. He felt as if he was standing on a vast land, looking up at the endless tower that penetrated straight into the clouds, as if a feeling of insignificance arose spontaneously.
.He couldn't help but immediately shook his head to throw this illusion away from his thoughts, and then his whole body suddenly returned to reality.
"Lord?" Akane who was standing aside couldn't help but asked in a low voice as she saw beads of sweat suddenly appear on Brando's forehead, glistening under the light of the torch.
But Brando shook his head and said it was nothing. He took a breath, feeling vaguely confused, but he just asked: "I know, what next?"
The old man glanced at him and said, "The four sages took out four artifacts from the Valleys of the Past Kings. They are the scepter of fire - Odysseus."
"etc--"
Brando interrupted him with a low shout: "Odyss, isn't that the sword of King of Fire Gilt, the full name of the Sword of Fire?" He saw the master craftsman looking at him motionless, and suddenly
After reacting, he couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at the Ring of the Wind Queen on his hand: "So the Ring of the Wind Queen Hydra, the Holy Power Olamisol, and the Holy Spear Cangkong, these are all...
?”
Belu nodded.
The young lord was silent for a long time: "How did Master Beilu know this?"
The old man looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you think I can trust you, sir?"
Brando was stunned for a moment, then breathed out and nodded: "I understand. But Master Belu, how have you considered my previous proposal?"
"Before that, I have a question," the old man replied: "Since you understand what the mercury staff means, sir, and you also know that Eruin's current situation is like walking on the edge of a cliff, then why do you have confidence?
ZTE Eruin.”
"I have no confidence," Brando replied without hesitation: "But that's not important, master, you just need to know. After the Black Rose War, the civil war in Eruin is about to break out, but now I have decided to stand on the side of Ke
On the side of the Erkova royal family, now Grand Duke Anlek will immediately announce his support for the eldest son of the prince. Her Royal Highness the Princess is in a precarious situation. I hope to help her at the critical moment. In this regard, even if you call me a king
The party doesn’t matter.”
Belu looked at him doubtfully and asked: "In that case, why don't you join us? Don't you understand that there is strength in numbers?"
"I said," Brando replied, "I have my position and my way of doing things."
"With all due respect, I don't quite understand." The old man shook his head, "Everyone has a motive for doing things, but what is your motive?"
"My motive?" The young lord smiled, "My motive is - if I don't do anything, what am I doing here?"
The master craftsman was slightly stunned. He did not understand Brando's words for a moment, or he might never understand the hidden meaning behind Brando's words. But he looked at the young man carefully and said slowly:
"Even so, my lord, what do you want a dying old man like me to do for you? If I can help the Corcova royal family, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. But having said that, my lord wants to raise private soldiers and make armor.
There will be no shortage of craftsmen like Lao Chan." He paused, "As far as I know, there are no less than five professional workshops in Fir City that provide lords with standard armor. As the lord of the kingdom, he will not do it for
Is this such a trivial thing giving you a headache?"
Brando looked at the stubborn old man and had a headache for a moment. He couldn't figure out why the corrupt royal family like Corcova could always have such a group of loyal ministers. However, he also understood that his foundation was still shallow, and he could only say that he was good at his current situation.
He was on the side of the princess, so he just shook his head: "Master Beilu, no matter how much armor is in general, it is not difficult to obtain, but for the Eruin White Lion Armor, only royal craftsmen like the master know how to make it, right?"
"White Lion Armor!" The old man was slightly startled and looked at Brando with an unbelievable look: "Eruin Light Armor Swordsman, do you want to form a regular army?"
Brando nodded, but immediately, he suddenly frowned slightly.
He felt the Philosopher's Stone in his arms begin to vibrate again.
