"Knight challenge?" The silver-haired girl put down the tea cup and couldn't help but smile. It was a shame that the black knight could come up with such a time-delaying trick, but she quickly sighed softly. The princess couldn't help but look away,
Staring at the clean and bright floor-to-ceiling arched window in a daze.
Her eyes passed through the dust floating up and down in the sunlight that slanted in from the tall window, and a trace of worry flashed in her light silver-gray eyes - she would rather put down her own honor for the outcome of the war, and even give up being a knight.
Is it for the black rose that blooms for Bramando? But what can gather people's hearts in a land that has been in chaos for thousands of years, or is there some unknown change happening in the dark kingdom opposite.
The girl did not expect that her accidental guess would become a reality. She turned back, and Overwell and Overwell were speechless for a moment.
"When the common ancestor of the Eruin people, the wise Lord Ek, led the people to become independent from Cruz, it was to resist the endless exploitation of the southern land by the empire. The foundation of our country is to stop the arrogance and greed from the imperial nobles.
.”
The princess said softly: "But today, the nobles among us have become greedy and arrogant. Have we lost the sense of self-motivation and the honor of defending justice, so that we have lost the ability to unite people's hearts?"
"I dare not speak nonsense, but although the nobles are corrupt, at least the people still believe in the royal family." Overwell replied.
The girl nodded and felt better.
Overwell looked at the girl, saw her thoughts, and continued to answer: "No matter how rotten the soil is, new sprouts can sprout. Your Highness, the Kingdom has trained militia and established a guard force since the late King Anson X.
In order to plant the seeds, the young man I met was also able to give up his favor and disgrace, which shows that the younger generation of Eruin is not much worse than Madara."
But neither the old man nor the young man pointed out that Brando was actually a member of the Highland Knights and had nothing to do with the royal family.
But the princess couldn't help but think about what supported Brando to give up his honor. Isn't he a knight? How could a knight refuse his opponent's challenge?
What the future Princess Regent did not expect was that Brando was not a knight at all. Neither did the black knight Sasar, so he could only die in humiliation among the rebels - Brando ignored him at all.
He, he only took the opponent off his horse with a sword when he passed by, and then turned back - the moment the two passed each other, the rising star of Eruin and the outstanding young man of Madara saw each other's eyes.
What Brando saw was the pursuit of true honor and faith in the blazing soul fire in the eyes of the Black Knight. He knew that one person could never be strong, but the hearts of millions of people united together would create a world.
A terrifying force that has been nothing more than a geographical concept for thousands of years, Madara, the 'Blooming Black Rose of Brahmando', is currently experiencing such a process of rise.
It was a process that made the cold undead creature feel honored and recognized from the heart. Unfortunately, he was unable to participate and had no intention of participating in such a period of history.
Contrary to Brando, all Sasar saw on the ground was the cold pragmatism in the eyes of the young human knight on the horse. Perhaps for the young people who have experienced this history, all fantasies are no longer appropriate - for
Noble, for the royal family, Brando is more willing to believe in his own power.
Even if he wants to save Eruin, the Valkyrie and everyone, he can only rely on himself.
Brando knows the future, but he also knows that no one is willing to believe in this future. Therefore, he needs to become stronger and fill up his wings little by little, so that the world has to pay attention to his opinions, and with that
Compared with that, all other false names are just clouds.
That black knight actually thought he could force him to change his mind with a small trick?
How childish.
Brando looked back. Even on the battlefield, a knight's duel requires a notary, deputies from both sides, a venue and a series of etiquette and rituals. As long as he is not half crazy, he will never agree to this ridiculous proposal. Maybe in
In the eyes of people of this era, 'knights' should choose to respect each other. Of course, this is still a society that follows the spirit of classicism. Unfortunately, Brando is not just Brando - half of his soul represents another world.
fair play?
No, modern warfare emphasizes unrestricted warfare and asymmetric warfare.
Therefore, this created the biggest doubt that Black Knight Sasar had before his death. When he saw the mercenaries swarming behind him and inserting the shining blade into his chest, he still stared blankly: How could he refuse? He was still a human being.
Knight?
The undead army has been completely defeated.
Brando tightened the reins and let the war horse trot for a few steps and then stopped. Then he turned the horse's head and saw that everyone else was looking at him with a strange look. This is no wonder, after all, in this world, it is indeed considered a good thing for a knight to refuse a challenge.
It's absolutely true that although these mercenaries have rich combat experience, they are inevitably affected by worldly views.
But he raised his sword and said to others: "You may be wondering why I don't accept his challenge, but the reason is actually very simple. The challenge between knights comes from the mutual respect between nobles, not from harboring suspicion.
To launch a sacred challenge with deceitful intentions is a blasphemy against the code of chivalry."
He added: "As for why I said this, you should think about it yourself."
Everyone suddenly understood, but Leto, Volonta and others were still more or less confused. Brando looked at their expressions and continued: "Of course, these are all nonsense. To put it crudely, there is no such thing.
I have no interest in participating in the gambling game——"
This sentence obviously appealed to the appetite of these mercenaries, and many of them couldn't help but cheer loudly, especially Mano, who nodded repeatedly, almost thinking that Brando was his close friend. But the young man turned around and saw Renault
He still had some doubts, but he understood that he could only explain so much, and besides, it would be a cover-up.
In fact, he didn't need to hide it. The night was so urgent that he didn't have time to sort out everything one by one. Just like now, he immediately made a gesture with others to clean up the battlefield - asking them to quickly collect the loot and collect it.
Clean the battlefield, jump off the horse and walk to the bodies of Sasar and the black warriors.
It’s time to collect your rewards——
Except for their personal armor and some small items they carried with them, the three black warriors had long since been burned into a pile of white ash from the inside out. These things look disgusting, but in the eyes of a 'player' like Brando, they are equivalent to
Trophies.
He kicked open the empty breastplate - the black warriors were tall, and their armor probably had to be refurbished before they could be transformed into something suitable for human wear. Therefore, this thing was worthless in his eyes now. But this was not his target.
, but a magic item that the black warrior may carry with him.
Unfortunately, he didn't gain much. He only found a secondary snake-shaped ring with a rarity of 'black iron' in a wreckage, which is what the aborigines of this world call an alchemy item. It has +0.1 dexterity, which is better than nothing.
But Brando is not depressed. His biggest target for this trip is not these three black knights. They are just appetizers. It is enough to be lucky if he has gained something. In fact, his biggest target is the black knight, who is in his twenties.
Elite creatures.
Brando walked towards Sasar. The black knight's half-body armor was suitable for him to use. Unfortunately, those mercenaries didn't know how to cherish it and actually made several holes in the breastplate. Brando couldn't help but curse after seeing it.
The guy didn't know how to think about his commander - compared to Freya, the militia commander, he was not as useful as a knight commander.
However, after scolding, Brando still squatted down and opened the other party's pocket. The first thing he looked for must be the pocket, because generally speaking, most of the spare magic items and magic amulets are placed in this place.
Brando's experience did not lose its effect. Sure enough, he found a snake-shaped statue and three magic amulets there. The magic amulets are a good thing. According to legend, they were originally made by wizards in the northern ice forest of Warnd.
A kind of mysterious item, as long as you carry it, you will naturally get good luck——
However, this magic item manufacturing technique gradually spread after the Year of Sanqiu and became an important magic item manufacturing technique. In the game, each magic amulet must be rarer than bronze, because they
One important feature is that it is not limited by the total amount of magic items that can be carried - just like the three items in Brando's hand.
The attributes of the three magic amulets are +1 life, +2 life, and +0.1 natural protection. They are the cheapest street stall items among such items, but at least they are better than nothing, right?
Brando put away the amulet and took a closer look at the snake-shaped statue. He immediately discovered that it was a poisoning amulet. The poisoning amulet is such a magic item. Most of them are made by the Druid sect in the forest.
Made, but some come from the hands of the Corpse Witch, and activating them will release a poison spell on the blade (12oz, getting weaker every minute of life lost).
This was not a good thing, but Brando couldn't help but curse in his heart: "What a sinister bastard, you pretend to be a knight for me. Are knights poisonous?" He couldn't help but think about it.
He's not an upright guy, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.
He also put these things away. After all, he was still a Highland knight. If someone who knew the goods saw it, it would be a big problem. The laws of knighthood in this world are very complicated. Violation of the rules can range from losing one's title to even more serious ones.
Burning at the stake is no joke.
Then Brando turned over the other party's body and checked the neck and hands - the parts most likely to contain magic items. But he saw neither a ring nor a necklace, but instead saw a frost-colored
Glass bracelet.
This certainly won't be a glass bracelet.
"Elemental bracelet!" Brando was shocked and quickly pulled the thing off the body of the black knight. Although the elemental bracelet is only a 'bronze' level equipment, it cannot withstand high energy levels. The lowest level Brando knows.
A first-level elemental bracelet is at least 25oz, and its attributes are also super practical.
It can add a certain amount of elemental damage to melee or long-range physical attacks. The damage dealt depends on the energy level of the elemental bracelet itself. For example, a 25oz elemental bracelet can add at least 4-4 points of elemental damage.
You must know that in the previous life, the damage of the Thorn of Light was only 9-9 without being doubled.
Brando suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. This thing was once as expensive as the 'Silver' rare level legendary magic item. When it was at its most popular, it was one of the equipment that he could only hope for.
Attack, for early physics professions, was life.
Unfortunately, this bracelet is an equipment level 20 or above, so Brando can only look at it to satisfy his craving. He carefully put this thing into his backpack, and he probably paid as much attention to it as the Thorn of Light.
Even worse.
After all, the Thorn of Light is just an excessive long sword. Its sharpness and hardness are not enough to withstand the use of swordsmen above the black iron level. Brando has actually thought of a replacement for the Elf Sword, but
The plan has not yet been put into action.
But the element bracelet is different. There are two positions on the bracelet. Brando thinks that it will be difficult to find a better substitute before he reaches level 40, and level 40 is at least the power level of Silver's advanced stage.
After collecting these important trophies and confirming that nothing was missing from Sasar, Brando let out a sigh of relief and stood up. The harvest from this battle was really rich. In addition to a total of 770 experience points,
The equipment almost doubled his total equipment level.
Especially the acquisition of elemental bracelets is simply unexpected good news.
If he can get another elemental ring and another bracelet, and collect a set of pure attack equipment, Brando will even have the confidence to run to find the trouble of the young black dragon entrenched in the Viero Needle Hills Avenue before level 30.
——After all, the Dragon Kingdom map is a huge temptation for any player who has ever played the game, and Brando is no exception.
Thinking of the beauty, he couldn't help but blow on the blade of the Thorn of Light, as if he had obtained the dragon's treasure.
Of course, there is still an insurmountable gap between reality and fantasy, and of course he will not get carried away. Soon mercenaries came to collect the corpses around him. The young man turned around and found that most of the people present
Everyone has gained something - Leto, Mano and others are also people who know the goods, and their targets are those corpse witches. After all, even one or two alchemy items can obviously improve personal strength.
No one hates personal power improvement.
After cleaning the battlefield, Brando looked at the time. A total of forty-five minutes had passed from the beginning of the battle to now. The work progress of the Self-Defense Group over there was similar. He couldn't help but look at the surrounding hills. Gargoyles could only conduct reconnaissance.
In one direction, Madala's skeleton cavalry may appear nearby at any time at this point in time, and they must hurry up.
The refugee team has continued to move forward under the leadership of a few backbones after the war started. There are gargoyles opening the way for them. Brando is not worried about what trouble those refugees will encounter. Now he just wants to find Freya, and then
Take others to catch up with you.
At least so far, his plan has been implemented relatively smoothly. All that's left is to hide and seek with Madara.
Of course, there is also waiting for the moment when the constellation of the King of Knights appears in the sky.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but take out the white deer statue and looked up at the dark sky.
