"That's because you were just a little lunatic before and haven't met this big lunatic yet." Kuran glanced at Brando and cursed in his heart.
However, the old swordsman still turned to look at Brando and asked with squinting eyes: "Okay, where are the young men you mentioned who need care?"
Brando smiled slightly. The reason why he asked Kuran to come out was actually very simple. He originally hoped to use the opportunity of this expedition to train those young people. The black forest is full of dangers and is the best place to train people.
And those young people around him are also conducive to him transmitting his ideas to them.
However, the crux of the problem is that no one can predict the dangers in the Black Forest. It is not an easy task to protect these young people who have spent so much effort to cultivate. Brando cannot do it alone, he needs manpower.
Ciel, Medissa and Akane are all strong men in the gold field. The twelve Lubis mercenaries now also have the strength of peak silver. But except for Akane, Brando knows that he cannot bring anyone else with him.
At this moment, the fir collar did not allow him to mobilize too much strength. If Akane could not stay away from him for a long time, he would not even be willing to take this red-haired girl with him.
And for this reason, he had to use travel as an excuse to lure Kuran here, just to get the old swordsman to help him. He believed that although Kuran said he was cautious in words, he would still be able to do it when the matter came to pass.
Take action.
As expected, Kuran only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to his conditions. As long as he didn't confront Count Denel, or became his subordinate, the old man didn't mind coming out to relax.
Of course, even so, he still wouldn't look good on Brando.
"Almost there." Brando replied.
He looked into the distance, and sure enough, a black spot quickly appeared on the wilderness outside the forest. The black spot quickly grew in size and turned into a convoy. Four caravans slowly drove into the forest and stopped one by one.
The mercenaries on the carriage obviously recognized the Lord, and they immediately got out of the car and bowed to Brando: "Lord!"
"Is everyone here?" Brando asked.
"Yes, my lord."
"Where's Akane?"
"Miss Akane is here too, she is with Miss Antitina -" the mercenary who answered always lowered his head respectfully.
Brando raised his head and his eyes fell on the last black four-wheeled carriage. He saw the carriage open the door and Antitina and Qian got out of the car one after another. But what surprised him was the two wild elves.
The sisters were also on top, and they got off the car last. The younger of the two sisters waved to Brando as soon as she saw him.
"Sir!" Because the Lubis mercenaries have been performing more arduous tasks for a long time, the little girl named Tia has not seen Brando for a while, and she seemed particularly excited at this time.
"Why are they here?" Brando nodded to the little wild elf girl and turned his questioning eyes to Antitina.
But the noble daughter seemed to have expected Brando to ask this question. She took a look at the four caravans first, as if subconsciously confirming whether anything had happened.
Then she raised her head and looked at Brando, and replied: "Miss Fuluo is here to take care of the lord's daily life."
She really is a personal maid!
Brando almost stopped coughing. He looked at Antitina in surprise: "I don't need any maid."
The wild elf sister's face became gloomy. She stood behind Antitina, gritted her teeth and stared at Brando with her emerald green eyes. The meaning in her eyes was: "Respect yourself, my lord!"
"I..." Brando was speechless for a moment. He thought that he had never thought about the maid thing. It was simply because what Fuluo did overlapped too much with that job. After thinking about it for a while, he had no choice but to
He changed his words: "I mean, I don't need any care. I'm not one of those guys who opens his mouth when food comes and puts out his hands when clothes come -"
"But you are the lord of Tonigel." Antitina said seriously.
"That's just a title, Antitina. Wasn't it the same in the past?"
"The past is the past," the noble daughter glanced at him and said in a lecturing tone: "Now you are the lord of Tonigel. You set an example in every word and deed. How come you don't even have a personal maid?"
She squinted at Brando: "You don't want Lord Charles to take care of your daily life, sir?"
Brando finally choked out this time. He shuddered when he thought about that scene. He glanced at Fuluo. In fact, Fuluo had been doing this kind of work under the instructions of the noble daughter for a few days. He
Even if you are not used to it, you are used to it.
In the end, he raised his hands and surrendered, expressing his surrender.
"This little girl is good," Kuran looked at Antitina up and down. He said to Brando: "It is rare for a noblewoman to behave well and be beautiful. Your grandfather must be satisfied."
"What do you mean?" Brando glanced angrily at the old guy who was worried about the world being in chaos.
"What?" Kuran realized something and said with a smile: "Are you not satisfied? Then I will introduce her to Caglis. Anyway, that guy will also be your deputy in the future, and he has the same bad taste as you -
"
Brando coughed and glanced at Antitina. "Stop talking nonsense." He replied.
"You are not as good as your grandfather in this regard, little guy." This time, Kuran was not angry at all. The old man patted him on the shoulder and walked away leisurely with a victorious look.
.
He was in a good mood, and it was rare to catch Brando's sore foot.
Brando turned back to look at Antitina. The noble lady's face turned red. She lowered her head and whispered: "Get ready, Lord, time is limited."
"Are you going back alone later?" It seems that after Kuran's reminder, Brando felt for the first time that this noble lady who was going to oppose him in everything seemed to be a little bit cute.
Antitina nodded.
"It's too dangerous," Brando shook his head.
"Kexi wants to go with you, sir..." Antitina originally considered that the less people knew about Brando entering the Black Forest, the better. In addition, the journey from the Black Forest border back to Fir City was also difficult.
It didn't take long, and now that the Fir Tree Territory is under the control of the mercenaries, she doesn't think there will be any problems.
"I mean, you're going with us too." Brando replied.
"Ah——?" Antitina whispered. Because of her own abilities, Brando almost never took her with her when going out. Although the noble daughter had a little regret about this, she also
I knew where my abilities should be used, so I didn’t think too much about it.
But Brando suddenly made this request today, which greatly exceeded her expectations. She knew very well what kind of place the Black Forest was, and people like her would only be a drag.
"No...not too good, right?"
Reason made Antitina want to refuse, but there was a small voice in her heart telling her to agree. The thought of continuing to travel and take risks with this young lord was like returning to the previous days.
This girl, who had always been rational and calm, was a little hesitant.
But Brando didn't just do it on the spur of the moment. He asked Akane to send Antitina here for a reason. He will have a lot of things to do in the future, and it is impossible to stay in the territory all the time. And Antitina will be his future
As the first deputy, it is very important to take over Valhalla as soon as possible and maintain the normal operation of the territory, so he must first make the girl familiar with this sleeping territory.
Valhalla is different from ordinary territories. Once it wakes up, it will be a huge shock to mortals. To accept this shock in the shortest time, the fastest way is to have people start it with their own hands and experience the awakening process with it.
.
"It doesn't matter, this is actually part of the plan." Brando replied: "But this plan is not irreplaceable. It is very dangerous in the black forest, so I leave the choice to you."
"What should I do about Miss Roman?" Antitina frowned and hesitated: "No one can watch her when I'm not here."
"Don't worry." Brando didn't expect her to be worried about this, but he shook his head.
"kindness?"
"She won't mess around."
"Huh?" The aristocratic girl was stunned. In the few months since she had been in Fir Tree, there had never been a day when the business lady didn't encounter a little trouble. Little Roman's confusion even made her doubt that this lady had been in trouble for more than ten years.
How did you survive?
Therefore, she even once had great reverence for Roman's aunt, wondering what kind of outstanding woman could educate this guy to be obedient.
But Brando understood that without him, the little guy must be more peaceful than anyone else. Because only he could understand that what little Roman did was just to attract his attention, just like an animal.
It’s the same little trick you use to attract your spouse’s attention.
Although the business lady is confused, she has such innate cleverness in her nature, and it is precisely this that makes Brando feel cute.
"So what?" he asked.
Antitina seemed to understand this after a slight start. She thought for a moment and blurted out: "Of course I am willing."
However, the noble girl immediately coughed slightly: "I mean, I am not afraid of danger when working for the lord."
Brando smiled slightly: "Thank you." But he immediately pointed to Tia, who was looking at the plants and trees in the forest curiously, and asked: "Then what's going on with this lady?"
He thought to himself that it was understandable that a sister would come to take care of his daily life, not to mention that bringing a red-handed girl with him this time might bring unexpected gains.
But what is the situation with this sister? Does Antitina still know the legendary buy one, get one free? Buy a maid and get a loli for free. If this is the case, the business will be successful.
"She was commissioned by Mr. Tamar." Antitina replied.
Brando then remembered that this little loli worked as an assistant to the alchemy master Tamar some time ago, but why did Tama ask her to come?
"Wait a minute," he suddenly thought of a question: "Is she here to collect materials?"
Antitina nodded.
