Princess Griffin saw Brando turning the body of the man in gray robe over, revealing a piece of amethyst-colored skin under the cut robe. She looked up silently and saw the broken neck of the body.
It's like broken glass, completely crystallized without a trace of blood leaking out.
"This is the crystal cluster," Brando stayed next to the corpse for a while before replying: "The living creatures in some magic crystals are affected by the magic moon and twisted to form a kind of monster. This kind of monster is not
Common, occasionally found in magic crystal veins and crystal forests."
"But it looks like a humanoid creature," Princess Griffin looked at the corpse quietly, "Also, what does this have to do with anything? Mr. Brando, do you know what happened in Yanbao?
?" She stood outside the door, not wanting to get stained with the blood everywhere in the house - although the beast's body had already been dragged out and disposed of, the Countess claimed to the soldiers of the Harbor Guard that it was an Ampelsel that escaped during the war.
The demon attacked his brother and showed the soldiers the body of the gray-robed man. The people present couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the tragic scene in Aker. Since such cases have recently occurred in Ampelsel
Things happened all the time in the port, so no one suspected anything for a while.
"He was a human when he was alive." Brando answered without looking back. He picked up a piece of crystal shard, "It's just the crystallization disease that turned him into this."
"Crystal disease?" Princess Griffin raised her head slightly and looked at him with her beautiful silver eyes.
"When I was studying the knowledge on the scroll, I saw such a case. Some creatures living in crystal veins gradually went crazy, grew crystals on their bodies, became crazy and began to attack humans." Brando stared at that
The crystal piece, the flowing light cast a long and narrow spot on his face: "This is the earliest case of crystallization disease. It occurred in the Wilderness of the Four Realms."
"That sounds like demonization." Her Royal Highness replied with a frown.
"This is demonization," Brando nodded, but then sighed: "Because the magic power is enriched in the crystal veins, it is easier to cause magic erosion. But crystallization is very special. No one knows why there are crystals.
Clusters exist. Theoretically speaking, the existence of any species in Warnd has its continuity. Only the history of clusters is blank. There are also some studies on them, but so far we still don’t know what the background is.
exist."
Her Royal Highness, of course, because 'we' were talking about the Black Tower Wizard, but in fact Brando subconsciously used the player's nickname. In The Amber Sword, the plot party naturally conducted an in-depth investigation of the crystal cluster, but like
Brando said that all investigations continued until the era when the glory was lost, and then stopped abruptly.
Some people think that there is a huge secret hidden in the crystal cluster, but more experienced players assert that - before the official further opens up the history before the era when the glory is lost, the origin of the crystal cluster can only be a mystery. But if you want to pursue it,
The history before the Age of Lost Glory is not easy to say. A major source of information for players is actually Buga’s library. However, the history before the Age of Lost Glory is also out of reach for Buga’s wizards.
Knowledge.
Where do crystal clusters come from?
Brando actually doesn't care about this, he only cares about why they suddenly appeared in Eruin. There is no relevant record at all in history. The history of the north seems to be undergoing some changes, and it seems to have begun to deviate from what he knows.
track.
After listening to Brando's answer, Princess Griffin was silent for a while. But after a while, she asked again: "But Delfiri also said that there is no crystal forest near Yanbao.
"
"So this is what I'm confused about." Brando replied.
Princess Griffin frowned uneasily. She looked at Brando: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I found similar traces on Aker's body. Some crystals grew on the back of his neck, but others didn't notice it under the blood." Brando turned around and looked at him.
. He replied with great certainty: "This can also explain why this guy suddenly became so crazy. Dark magic can amplify the evil in people's hearts. This is not an isolated case. There must be crystallization disease spreading near Yanbao, Baron Dalle said
It may have become corrupted."
The princess's brows furrowed even deeper: "How could this happen? What do you think will happen to Yan Castle and what should we do?"
"It's definitely not a good thing. And there is nothing we can do for the time being. We can only keep it a secret from Miss Delphire, at least until we solve the trouble in the north. Your Highness, Princess, you also understand the distance from Yanbao to Ampelsel. We don't
Maybe I don't have the ability to interfere with everything in Yanbao," Brando did not choose to reveal the insecurities in his heart. Because some things were just a guess for him, not to mention that he had no way to explain his predictions for the future.
He paused for a moment and just reminded: "Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want anything to happen to Delfiri."
Princess Griffith sighed faintly: "When I was a child, Delphiri was my best friend. She treated me with no tact like others, and I always treated her like my own sister. But when things happened, I
It can't help her at all. If something unexpected happens to the Earl, she will definitely be heartbroken. I met Earl Yanbao once when I was a child. He is a competent father, and Delphiri must love him very much."
The tone of the half-elf girl was a little weak. Brando knew that she was thinking of her father. Historically, Obergu VII loved his daughter very much. It can be said that Princess Griffin once had a relatively happy family.
.But before he could think of any words to comfort the princess, the latter had already become firm. Princess Griffin took a breath and replied:
"We have to solve the chaos in the north quickly, Mr. Brando."
Brando was slightly startled, probably because he didn't expect the princess to recover so quickly; in fact, he was not good at politics, but fortunately this was a 'historical issue', and he thought for a moment before saying: "Your Highness, Princess,
The key to solving the chaos in the north does not lie with us, but with the Temple of Fire. The Temple of Fire hopes to put pressure on us through the nobles in the north, but the Cruz people are obviously not happy to see a war at the moment. This is just a matter of both sides.
It’s just another game between us.”
Princess Griffin narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked particularly charming like this, but the cold light in her narrowed eyes showed some understanding in the princess's heart. Of course she understood this, but what made her angry was
, the Temple of Fire is obviously playing with fire. The nobles in the north are not dogs raised by the Cruz people. On the contrary, they are a pack of wolves. These short-sighted beasts may destroy the balance of power at any time for a little benefit. The Cruz people arrogantly believe that they
They can control everything, but in fact they can't control anyone.
But she had to worry about this.
Endless compromises were impossible. Brando promised her that she would never make any concessions to the northern nobles this time. This was actually Her Royal Highness’s own idea. First integrate the forces in the south that are close to the Corcova royal family, and then
Then use the power of thunder to make the entire north bow its head.
But what price should be paid to get the temple to support her? Those hateful Cruz people clearly know that Eruin's stability is what they need. But they still want to obtain greater benefits.
Since the Ampelsel War, she has been thinking of ways to limit the influence of the Temple in Eruin. This is actually Brando's idea, but the Temple of Fire is obviously aware of this.
She didn't want to compromise on this.
But Princess Griffin suddenly remembered something. She raised her head and said to Brando: "Mr. Brando, can you wait for me here for a moment?"
"What's wrong?" Brandol said in shock.
"Please help me deal with the matter here," Her Royal Highness the Princess replied: "I want Count Yanilasu to investigate this matter. Yan Castle is on the edge of his territory, and he will definitely be able to think of a way."
This is a way. But Brando always felt that the princess was hiding something. But before he could ask, the princess had already walked downstairs. Brando looked at the body at his feet and felt helpless.
I only checked the relics of the man in gray robe, including some bits and pieces, but found nothing that could prove his identity.
He straightened up and heard a familiar sound coming from behind him - it should be the sound of Delphire's wheelchair. He turned around and saw the maid pushing the Countess at the door.
"Send those people away?" Brando put down the scattered things in his hands and glanced at her with some sympathy. He couldn't imagine how much experiencing such a thing would hit the countess, but he would definitely stay in the future.
shadow.
Delphiri nodded. The people of the Harbor Guard were relatively easy to deal with. After all, the people present were all nobles. And there was also a princess from the kingdom. Her statement was conclusive, with all the evidence, and the devil had been there recently.
Active in Ampelser Port, no one raised any questions.
After all, no one can say whether there is something similar to the Crystal Man among the demons. Anyway, it is definitely not a human being.
"I knew Akelta had a bad reputation. But I didn't expect him to be so crazy. Nia just said something to me, and it was all my fault for not protecting her." Delphiri sighed guiltily.
Brando more or less guessed something. When the female knight made that request before, he actually guessed that there might be something wrong with it.
But this was someone else's housework after all, so he could only nodded awkwardly.
"But Mr. Brando, I know very well the character of Aker and Baron Dalle. I am very worried about my father, even though Her Royal Highness the Princess said so..." Delpherie asked again with some worry. Obviously, she was most concerned about
This is still the problem.
Although Princess Griffin once comforted her with her attitude about the temple, the countess was not an idiot. After thinking about it, she felt that Brando's guess was closer to possibility. Otherwise, her brother would not have appeared in Ampel.
Yes, after all, Yanbao is still a certain distance away from this port. Judging from the time when her brother set off, the war in Ampelsel should not have happened yet, let alone these current rumors.
Brando looked at her and sighed: "Delphi——"
"You're going to lie to me again, right?" Delphire stared at Brando and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Brando."
"I..." Brando was embarrassed for a while, thinking to himself that I had to lie to you again. But after thinking about it, he was really not sure whether he had lied before. After all, it was a big lie about his own life experience.
, not to mention that it seemed unlikely that he would tell the truth when he invaded the eldest lady's manor.
He thought for a while and replied: "Delfiri, can I call you that? Regarding your father's situation, I actually have some analysis. I don't know if you are willing to listen."
"Of course," the countess nodded meekly, not knowing which question she was answering: "It doesn't matter if you say so, Mr. Brando."
"It's very possible that something happened to your father." Brando replied.
Delpherie let out a soft sigh, and Brando saw her gripping the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, her hands turning white from excessive exertion.
"Do you want to return to the territory immediately?" Brando asked.
"Of course," Delphire took a breath and replied, "Mr. Brando, let me ask your family, your father is in danger, will you remain unmoved?"
Brando shook his head: "Of course I won't, but I don't recommend you go back."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. Your father's possible situation now is that he is imprisoned or has been killed." Brando saw that Delfiri's expression was getting worse and worse, and he hurriedly continued: "In the first case,
Once you return to the territory, your father will lose the value of his existence."
"In the second case, do you think you can avenge your father when you return to the territory in your current physical condition? It's nothing more than adding another trophy to your uncle."
After Brando finished speaking, he stared at the countess closely, fearing that she would not be able to accept it and suddenly fainted. However, Delpherie showed extraordinary strength. After a while, she replied: "If I
If I die, can Mr. Brando avenge me?"
"Of course," but Brando shook his head again: "But what's the point? If you think revenge can solve the problem, why not take revenge yourself?"
"Revenge yourself?" Delphiri was startled for a moment, then became excited: "Can I? Can I take revenge myself now? Mr. Brando, is there anything you can do?"
Brando nodded: "Dilfiri, you are just overstretched. Your current physical condition is not irreversible. Besides, the earl is not necessarily killed, but as long as you live for one day, he has a chance to be rescued.
.”
The countess fell silent.
Brando saw her take a breath: "I understand, can you give me some time to think about it, Mr. Brando?"
"You can do it at any time," Brando replied: "But I also want to tell you, Countess, whether you agree or not, I will not let you go back to Yanbao alone. Please believe me, I am
Responsible for the heroes of the port of Ampelsel."
"Mr. Brando, you..." Delpherie couldn't help crying or laughing: "Thank you, Mr. Brando, you are too much."
"I've always been very exaggerated." Brando replied without blushing or heartbeat.
It was at this time that he saw Princess Griffin coming back from outside. The princess seemed to have finished delivering the message. She glanced at the two of them. Although she had heard the previous conversation between the two, she did not say anything.
opinion, but only said to Brando:
"Mr. Brando, can you accompany me to meet someone?"
"Meet someone now?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded.
Brando was stunned. He vaguely guessed that the person Her Royal Highness wanted him to see might be related to the breakdown in the north. At present, this is the only thing that can mobilize Her Highness's mind. Only by resolving the trouble in the North, whether it is Yanbao or this
Everything can be solved for the future of the kingdom.
"Who?" he asked.
"Priest Wood."
