The gate behind the drawbridge rose with a creaking sound, and the black carriage drove into Fir Castle like a ghost. The atmosphere in the castle seemed to become silent all of a sudden - the mercenaries stopped and watched, almost all of them
Everyone understands:
The young lord is back!
Because Jutta is still in the Saffrond Mine, no one has brought back everything that happened underground, but everyone in the castle at least knows that Brando just brought a mere twenty people and quietly went there.
Take the mine into your pocket.
What kind of method is this?
Although the young lord's ability has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, this action undoubtedly once again established an omnipotent image for him.
When Brando opened the door of the carriage, he saw the castle that was still shrouded in silence and green even in late autumn - because the first owner of the castle carefully selected the tree species in the castle so that it could grow in this
The season also guarantees plenty of greenery - but this place hasn't changed much since he left. The only thing that can be said to have changed is that the features that originally belonged to Grudin are much less, and the curtains in the room have been replaced with his favorite beige.
color.
Although the young man didn't know how Fuluo knew his hobbies, the meticulous arrangement of the elder sister of the wild elf sisters who kept a straight face and followed him like a secretary still made him feel slightly.
A warm one.
If there is any change in this castle, it is that it makes him feel more like home.
The word home seems distant and unfamiliar to Brando today, as if it has nothing to do with him. Butcher's old house is like a symbol in his mind, symbolizing his place in this world.
It has nothing to do with home.
Perhaps Brando still has a home in Prague, but there is always a barrier in the young man's heart when he thinks of that home. He knows that as long as he still has doubts in his heart, he will not be able to face it all calmly.
But today, when he stepped out of the carriage and saw every detail in this quiet castle, he felt a little at ease in his heart. Whether it was every plant or tree in this castle, or the rooms with bright and clean windows, or
Everyone who stops around has a sense of peace that penetrates into the soul.
It gave him a feeling of 'coming back'.
Brando closed his eyes involuntarily and took a breath. Only at this time could he deeply feel that he was the owner of this place - everyone in this castle - including those watching.
The one who cares about him.
What do they hope for, to settle down or live a better life? Brando suddenly felt that he was not struggling alone. He thought that finally the dreams of so many people stood with him.
, no matter what their ultimate goal is, Brando believes that he will satisfy everyone.
With a predictable confidence.
Brando opened his eyes, and then saw the expressionless wild elf sister standing in front of him holding her notepad in both hands, standing upright, with a meticulous expression. Even the most professional etiquette teacher could not find anything wrong with it.
Come.
For him, this elf lady could be said to have taken on the dual roles of secretary and personal maid. He knew that this was Huque's order, but this lady did her duty conscientiously.
As a former otaku, Brando rarely had the habit of uniform control, but he also felt that Fuluo's care was very considerate. He glanced at the girl and said softly:
"Thanks."
The elder sister of the wild elf raised her head and looked at her with eyes like dead fish eyes, then lowered her head. She didn't refute, probably because she was quite satisfied with this thank you.
"How's it going?" Brando asked again.
"Lord Charles is still in the room." Fro replied. Although she is a maid, this maid also rarely possesses the strength of Silver. In fact, even many Dukes may not have the honor to have such a personal maid. Of course
, Shadow Guard is another story.
However, using a high-level silver elementalist to act as a maid really surprised everyone who knew about it. Fortunately, Tigress and the others have not shown this strength yet, otherwise Krenxi, who has been with them for a month,
The two mercenary captains Ya and Fern would probably be shocked.
The improvement in the strength of Rubis's mercenaries comes from the fact that Brando has attached the card of Vientiane Senluo to their respective cards a few days ago. The effect of Vientiane Senluo is slightly worse than expected.
It only upgrades Lubis' mercenaries to the high-level silver stage.
But this also means that Brando almost overnight had a team composed of high-ranking silver. High-ranking silver can also seek the status of a squadron captain among the kingdom's second-line legions, and Lubis's mercenaries have
Their military qualities are not bad either, and Brando even has the idea of making them the backbone of his officer corps.
However, the identity of the summoned creature is still a bit troublesome. Brando must not have any soldiers who are willing to charge without fear of death with a commander who knows that he will be reborn after death.
This incident once caused him to get a tattoo on his forehead. The reason was that there were still too few talents around him. Apart from summoning creatures, it was almost impossible to find anyone who could stand alone.
Although Antitina has calm analytical skills and a relatively broad vision, he still thinks that this noble daughter lacks experience. In fact, Brando is a bit picky. After all, he himself has gone from a mountain of corpses to a sea of blood for hundreds of years.
, the experience of fighting in intrigues with nobles - although it was in a game, the experience will never fade anywhere - in the eyes of people like him, his vision is too high.
In fact, in the eyes of many mercenary group leaders, Antitina can be said to be the best counselor. She has meticulous and calm opinions, has her own opinions, has far-reaching vision, is thoughtful, and can always see things that others cannot.
The place.
Not to mention that she also possesses extensive knowledge, as if she knows everything. Only Charles can talk to her in this regard. Others are sometimes confused when called by this young lady to hold a meeting.
But I have to admit that what the other party said makes sense.
In fact, they had long guessed who this young lady was. In their opinion, the confidants who made suggestions for the great nobles were nothing more than that. Fern was more experienced in this regard, so that the former cavalry captain saw that
Antitina has a strange look in her eyes.
In his opinion, this young lady is one of those great aristocratic families with a long history and unparalleled wealth, who are specially trained to serve their children as a confidant - of course, she was born into a rude, uneducated lower-class soldier.
En couldn't help but make a dirty guess - whether this young lady would also satisfy some of her lord's less upright needs when necessary.
This kind of speculation is not only in Fern's mind. The mercenaries have this idea more or less. After all, Antitina's actions sometimes go beyond the scope of the staff - the rights given to her by Brando
It is extremely difficult for them to imagine this kind of trust, and there is only one explanation.
That is, Antitina herself is the woman of the young lord.
It's a pity that Brando was unable to notice such a trivial matter, and the noble daughter who noticed it seemed to turn a blind eye and let it go, so this misunderstanding continued in a tacit understanding.
Of course, back to business.
Brando's dissatisfaction with Antitina is sometimes revealed to the outside. This kind of dissatisfaction, which is almost like teaching, does not mean that the rich lady has fallen out of favor in the eyes of others, but it is precisely a kind of importance.
Performance.
However, this also made them stunned at the high demands of the Lord, but Brando's reprimands were not unreasonable most of the time, so everyone naturally had an idea in their minds:
What is high? This is high!
So Brando was naturally shrouded in a halo, and almost everyone thought that he was the true aristocratic scion sent from those ancient families with a long history to gain experience.
Only Jutta, the female mercenary leader who has the most dealings with nobles, expressed doubts about this statement, while Kerenthia and Fern both chose to believe in their own intuitions - unfortunately, men's intuitions are often not so reliable - in their opinion
Coming to Brando will definitely bring them a bright future.
On the other hand, apart from Antitina, the only one who can catch Brando's eye is Fern. This former captain of the Karasu Cavalry Squadron is probably the only one among the mercenaries who is calm and has a certain military quality.
He is even more outstanding than the serious Juta.
In Brando's opinion, Jutta's flaw is that he is too meticulous. Although women always have a naturally suspicious nature, sometimes it is not an empty saying that those who are obsessed with details cannot take a long-term view.
, which is why, in his opinion, both Fern and Kerenthia were able to see the situation quickly and accept him into his group, but the female mercenary leader was still out of place.
The incident in the mine seemed to have really dispelled her doubts. She had already expressed to him that he could leave Schafflund with peace of mind and leave her there to monitor Okins' every move. This act of getting closer showed that the maid
The corps leader can now safely hand over the men left in Fir City to him, trusting that he will not take the opportunity to do anything that she will regret.
But to be honest, it was already too late. Kerenthia and Fern had both found their positions, but the female mercenary leader had to start from scratch. She lost half a step from the starting line.
Therefore, Brando is not optimistic about the female mercenary leader for the time being.
As for Kerenthia, although he is capable enough, he is too tactful. Brando will never give full trust to such a person before he has the ability to control him. As for knowing people and making good use of them, he is still the leader of a group.
understandable.
Only Fern was courageous and calm enough to see the situation clearly. But the only flaw was that his vision was too narrow. Brando himself couldn't help but laugh when he thought about this. How far could he ask a cavalry captain to see clearly?
?
After all, they are not former players, and they can look at the problems of this world from a perspective that transcends this world. Therefore, players can naturally be on an equal footing with those great nobles, but these people cannot.
Although people can change, Brando doesn't have this time for the time being. The trouble he faces now is different from the game where he can gradually improve his level.
His enemy was much stronger than him from the beginning, and would not give him time to fully mature. When he saw Fern and Kerenthia also standing aside, he couldn't help but shake his head.
