Scene 112 Tony Geer and the Young Lord (12) (Second update)
After deciding on the itinerary, Brando made intensive preparations for his long trip in the Black Forest.
However, he did not set off immediately, but waited for a few more days. After confirming that Pallas had indeed reduced its defenses, Brando could safely implement his plan.
On the day of his trip, he came to a certain courtyard in his castle——
"Your swordsmanship has improved again."
Kuran bent down to pick up the sword and put it back on the weapon rack in the corner. The old swordsman looked at Brando with envy or helplessness, but he also looked forward to it: "I am old, and I am no longer your opponent.
.”
Brando was not modest, but smiled shyly with the characteristic young man.
Since that discussion, Brando's travel schedule has been almost day by day. Everyone is preparing for this trip, but he himself seems a little leisurely.
The battle lasted ten minutes, and he won in the end. The young man was not too surprised. After experiencing the underground battle, and with the guidance of the female knight Otales every day, his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and he was no longer as good as the first time.
The same thing happened when he fought against Kuran.
Military swordsmanship has stayed at level 16+2, and has made no progress since then, and the channels for investment in skills and experience have also turned gray. Brando knows that this swordsmanship has reached its upper limit - after reaching the peak of the master level, if you want to invest again, you can only rely on
Practice it repeatedly or you may suddenly have an epiphany one day.
Today Brando is wearing a black Cruz travel suit. This kind of clothing was developed from the warrior culture of the Ta people. It is usually made of some kind of woolen fabric. The top is like a shirt, but the sleeves and trousers are extremely loose and the cuffs are closed.
Girdle, put on wrist guards and riding boots - adventurers and nobles usually wear double-layered straps to hang sword scabbards - but Brando's specially made scabbard for the Earth Sword Harangya is wider
, like the scabbard of a broad sword.
The sword was in his hand, he took it back and replied: "Times have changed, Mr. Kuran." Kuran raised his eyelids and glanced at him, but did not respond.
Kuran didn't respond, but Brando didn't press any further. He took out a piece of cloth and gently wiped his beloved sword while thinking of what happened recently——
The meeting with the druids was quite harmonious. Andrew went to the Ring of the Trade Winds and has not returned yet. Another elder called the "Gray Crow" came. The Gray Crow symbolizes the elf in the storm, and he can use this title as a
The code name at least shows that this elder is good at druid spells in the wind domain. The wind domain represents the sky, and druids in the sky domain often enjoy a high status in the druid organization.
Therefore, Brando guessed that the opponent might not be an ordinary elder from the outer ring like Andrew, but an archdruid from the inner ring.
The connection between druids comes from a secret organization, which ordinary people call the Druid Assembly. The structure of this organization is a ring, and the inner ring is called the Trade Winds Council. Each member is an archdruid.
They send messages to each other thousands of miles away through the winds in summer, autumn and winter.
Only spring is the season of Niya, and the druids must clear all wind passages and not disturb the goddess Ruize.
As expected, the druids brought him an unexpected message——
The Archdruid Gray Crow told him that they might have found Valhalla, but they actually encountered a little trouble. The Ring of the Trade Winds seemed to be undergoing unusual changes, and the rules in the Black Forest were once again arranged.
The Ruuis encountered mist and strong winds, and their proud skills in sensing direction in the forest also lost their effect.
The archdruid said that the trees there seemed to be repelling them. If they were not hostile, it would be difficult to even get out of the forest.
Brando just pondered for a moment and guessed what they might encounter. The power of the magic moon became stronger and stronger as the big tide came. Chaos was restless in the darkness. Even the forest was affected and began to show various signs.
.
This is a difficult problem, and there are almost no tricks. The only solution is to forcefully break in. But this requires strength, and the druids can't do it. Although this archdruid seems to have the power of gold,
But they knew so little about Valhalla that it seemed like he had to go there himself.
But that's fine, it's just what he wanted.
He spared one and a half months, thinking that it would be more than enough time to arrange this trip, but just as he was thinking about this, a sudden argument interrupted his train of thought.
"stop!"
"I want to see your commander, I know he is back!"
"Stop talking nonsense. The prisoners must have the consciousness of being prisoners. Then there are so many demands!" This was the voice of the soldier.
Brando raised his head and looked in that direction - it was the dungeon, and he immediately showed a funny expression, although this was not the first time he heard a similar dispute.
"Hmph, you guys who don't keep your word! Last time I defeated that bastard, he promised to let me see your commander! If you have the ability, let that guy come again, and I promise to beat the shit out of him!"
"What a waste of time!" the soldier scolded, "Captain Kerencia was assigned to you. Didn't you see that his sword was broken in the fight?"
"Then you ask him to change to a good sword and try it with me?" The voice sneered unabashedly.
"Boy, do you want to be taught a lesson again?" The soldier was obviously impatient.
Then there were a few whining sounds, and Brando soon saw a young man in a white shirt escaping from behind the bushes. The young man's long light blond hair was a little messy and looked a little embarrassed, but he was holding a gun in his hand.
The sword - the kind commonly used by mercenaries. Brando noticed that there was no blood on the sword.
The young man escaped from behind the bushes and was obviously stunned when he saw someone outside. He saw Brando holding a sword in his hand and subconsciously recognized him as a guard here, and came forward without saying a word.
Brando was startled for a moment, wondering how someone could escape, but before he could finish thinking, he saw the young man holding a sword in one hand and lunging towards him.
The young man's sword pointed at his right arm, obviously not wanting to kill him, but he drew the sword very fast and his hand was very steady, showing superb basic skills - this surprised Brando, and when he saw it
With this sword drawn, he understood that the four captains under him - Yuta, Kerenthia, Huque and Fern were not necessarily the opponents of this young man.
"Good guy, military swordsmanship, at least level eight," Brando thought. No wonder Huque, Fern and Kerenthia almost failed to retain each other when they teamed up. It seems that they are indeed talented.
He originally subconsciously wanted to knock off the opponent's sword directly, but then he thought about it and changed his approach. He planned to test the young man's strength. Brando changed his movements twice in a row in an instant, and he moved the sword
He raised the opponent's sword upwards with a clang, and then moved outwards, causing the young man's center of gravity to tilt.
Although Caglis's attack was neutralized, Brando showed mercy and did not directly knock off his sword. But he almost thought he had made a mistake. The ordinary-looking guard seemed to be a master of swordsmanship?
But this is absolutely impossible.
The young man decided that he felt something was wrong, gritted his teeth and attacked again, but Brando opened his bow from left to right, and the sword of the earth softened and hit the opponent's left and right arms with a "slap". He did not attack with all his strength, nor did he trigger the earthquake spell, but
He hit the young man with such force that he retreated repeatedly and finally fell to the ground.
"It's full of flaws, but it's very valuable."
Brando thought to himself, he saw the young man standing up again, subconsciously raising his sword, ready to see if the young man knew other sword skills, but it was at this time that he saw Caglis dejected.
Throwing away the sword, he raised his hand neatly——
"I surrender!" Caglis looked at Brando with light gray eyes. When the opponent took action for the second time, he completely recognized it - this was a swordsman, and he had no chance at all.
But he only felt annoyed, thinking that he would have known better to escape from this direction. Now that he thought about his own behavior of rushing towards the young man, he felt ridiculous. He looked at the old man beside him and thought that maybe he should start from here.
Rush out?
However, when he saw Kulan looking at him with a smile, and then looking at the old swordsman's slender fingers covered with countless calluses, he suddenly felt a shiver in his heart and realized that his failure was inevitable.
"Who are you?" Caglis looked at Brando and asked curiously. He allowed the soldiers chasing him from behind to tie his hands back - the soldiers were annoyed that he was hurting others, so they were naturally rude to him.
It made him grit his teeth.
Fortunately, the young man did not kill anyone, otherwise these soldiers would have beaten him severely even in front of the lord.
Brando did not answer, but looked at the other party with interest. He looked at the young man and suddenly had a new idea in his mind.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" he asked.
"Why are you killing me?" Caglis was not afraid, but asked: "It's no good."
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and serve as a warning to others -" Brando replied.
"Then come on." The young man puffed up his chest: "If I blink my eyes, I won't be a well-known man in the Haberto family."
"So a man only cares about himself and doesn't care about your father?" Brando asked.
"What does my being a man have to do with my father?" Caglis wondered.
Brando was surprised, and then he remembered that the humanities and customs in this world were different from his original world.
He looked at the soldiers again: "Why didn't you kill them before?"
The young man shook his head and said, "Why do you kill and kill as soon as you open your mouth? I am much more powerful than them. I can rush out without killing them. But if the strength of both sides is similar, then we can only fight with our lives." He
Answered candidly.
"But he is your enemy."
"I can't finish the killing." Caglis raised his eyebrows, shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Besides, if I kill someone, if I get caught, I will be the unlucky one - you see, it's just like now!"
"You are thoughtful." Brando suddenly felt that this guy was a bit interesting: "Well, do you still want to know who I am now?"
"Didn't I ask just now?"
"Then what should you call me?" Brando turned back and looked at the soldiers.
The soldiers quickly took a step back, lowered their heads, put one hand on their chest and saluted: "Lord -"
Lord lord.
Brando turned around again and saw the young man looking at him in shock. His mouth was almost wide enough to swallow an egg, and he said in disbelief: "You, you are..."
Brando nodded, smiling secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm:
