The carriage quickly arrived in Valhalla, passed through a city gate along the road on the huge tree roots, and stopped in the central area; Brando looked at the scenery outside and gestured to Fuluo to stop.
After getting down, he opened the door and jumped out of the carriage, and saw His Royal Highness the little prince waiting there not far away.
"teacher."
Haruze saluted Brando respectfully with the etiquette a student should have. Behind him stood Nimesis, and another figure wearing a white linen robe, who looked like an ancient Greek goddess, but with snake hair and sharp eyes.
It's a Medusa. Brando has heard about this Medusa named Lesmeka for a long time, but he only met it for the first time today.
"Your Highness, how has your swordsmanship progressed over the past two months?"
Haruze's face suddenly turned red and he was speechless and speechless.
It didn't look good. Brando smiled slightly and patted the little prince's immature shoulder: "Don't worry, it's okay."
At this time, several green vines hung from the canopy hundreds of meters high in Valhalla. These vines were as thick as arms, and the ends were entangled with each other to form a basket shape; Brando asked Haruze, Nimesis and Xiao
Roman and he shared a basket, and the rest of the people rode in another basket. After he gave an order, the vines began to rise slowly. Although it was not the first time for little Roman to ride this kind of transportation, he was still looking around excitedly.
, she swung the rattan basket back and forth in mid-air, shouting and screaming, which scared Haruze to hold on to the edge of the frame tightly, but after reaching a certain height, the businesswoman also held on tightly.
The edge of the frame was obediently motionless.
"Swordsmanship is not everything, Haruze," Brando looked at the gradually smaller hills and brown forest under his feet, and continued the previous topic: "If I remember correctly, after next month you will be ten
He’s three years old.”
Haruze looked at his teacher with some confusion and nodded.
"Starting next month, I will teach you magic."
"Magic?" Haruze was slightly startled: "Can I also learn magic, teacher?"
"Of course." Brando nodded and said no more. He suddenly felt a gaze falling on him and found that it was Nymesis staring at him. The injuries on the female knight seemed to have healed long ago. Today
Wearing a tight-fitting military uniform, he looked heroic. "What's wrong, learn from...Ms. Nimesis?" Brando asked.
"You plan to teach His Highness the Prince magic. Have you reported this to Her Highness the Princess?" Nymesis said.
"Not yet, but Haruze is very talented in magic. He has wasted too much time on swordsmanship. Why not try another way? It is too late to learn swordsmanship at the age of thirteen, but it is the right time to learn magic. Maybe
He will become an outstanding wizard in the future," he laughed. "As for Her Royal Highness, I will tell her."
The rattan basket quickly rose to the top, where there were many wooden trestles extending from the central square, making it easier for people in the rattan basket to step on. The staff lady who had arrived in Valhalla first was already waiting for them there, holding a
There was a pile of parchment for unknown purposes, followed by Tia and the other members of the Tiger Bird Mercenary Group. When seeing Brando, Roman and Fro, Tia called out "Sister" in surprise, while the staff lady said to the side
He winked, Brando understood and asked: "Are they here?"
Antitina nodded.
"Where are they?" Brando asked.
"Ms. Tanya doesn't like places that are too noisy. I will arrange for her to rest in the side hall."
If you don't like noisy places, why would you open a store in the downtown area of Ampelssel? Brando shook his head in confusion: "Let's go see her first."
The nominal owner arrived as expected——
When Antitina pushed open an arch with a carved pattern on the surface, there was a fairy lady sitting peacefully on the round wooden table in the side hall. She was kneeling on a cushion - the table was specially prepared for her.
There was a small cushion, a box-sized coffee table, and a white porcelain tea set of the same size on it, filled with fragrant tea - I saw Brando and his party behind Antitina and the staff lady.
The man turned around again, held up the tea cup with both hands, took a careful sip, and then gently put it down.
"The council is very dissatisfied, little one." The first words the elf lady spoke silenced the hall.
Medusa Lesmeca stared closely at the silver star brooch on the Fairy Lady's chest, as if she had been stabbed.
"Originally, not everyone agreed to put the Azure Spear here for your protection. It was Master William and I who tried to persuade the council to overcome all opinions, but now you have made us very passive."
"Aunt Tanya, this is not entirely our fault, I think you should understand this," Brando motioned for Fuluo to close the door, and replied very innocently: "At the beginning, you promised me that you would impose
The illusion on the Azure Spear will never be seen through by anyone - unless that person is a living sage, but now the living sage is still in Ellan Tower, but your gun is
Stolen by the Cruzes."
Tanya raised her eyelids and looked at him with some surprise through her silver-rimmed glasses: "Don't talk nonsense, little one, if you hadn't used it to deal with a real god, how would the illusion on the Azure Spear have dissipated?
"
"But Akane was not nearby at that time. If you can't withstand even a little fluctuation of divine power, I think this so-called strongest illusion is too unworthy of its name, isn't it?"
"If I tell Luo An exactly what you said, do you think he will come to fight with you like a mad lion?" Tanya was almost amused by this unreasonable statement: "You
A little wave of divine power from her mouth destroyed three cities and blew up the Death Frost Forest into a white field. Don't think we don't know." She knocked on the white porcelain tea cup and asked: "This cup is good, what are you doing here?
Are there special tea sets for fairies, specially prepared for me?"
"That's what the light spirits use." Brando glanced at the tea set and replied smoothly.
"Like your grandfather, he doesn't know how to make women happy at all," Tanya rolled her eyes at him: "The council means that the Azure Spear must be taken back."
"That's not easy," Brando said: "With your strength, you can easily subdue the Temple of Fire. The Azure Spear is originally our thing. In this matter, the Cruz people started
It's the party that's in the wrong. If you come forward to ask them to return it, they probably won't dare to push back."
"Innocent little guy, how can it be that simple?" Tanya replied: "Although Buga is the most powerful country in the world, the Cruz people should not be underestimated. The Temple of Fire controls
The land below is vast and has a large population. The conflict between such two large forces involves a series of complex issues, not to mention war. To tell you the truth, little guy, the possibility of convincing the parliament is zero."
"Then you want to take back the Azure Spear again, don't you?"
Brando said softly: "I understand, you are counting on me again."
The goblin lady looked at him sideways: "Stop pretending, you already knew that, right?"
Brando smiled without embarrassment: "But Aunt Tanya, you can also see that I can't be the opponent of the behemoth Cruz Empire unless someone is helping Eruin behind the scenes."
"In addition to direct intervention-" Tanya started.
"In addition to direct intervention." Brando repeated affirmatively.
"Tell me what you want us to do."
Brando had already prepared a gesture to Antitina beside him, and the staff lady quickly unfolded the rolls of parchment she had been holding in her arms and spread them on the table. They were several drawings, and Ms. Elf one by one
She opened them and understood after reading them: "Cruz frigate, do you want us to help you build this thing?" She lay on the drawings, turned back to look at Brando, Brando nodded, and
He shook his head again.
"I want you to help me build ten such frigates, of course, at your expense; but more than that, I want you to help me build a large magic shipyard in Valhalla. This magic shipyard must have the power of Thunder."
The technical standards in the next year will be able to build at least the smallest Type IV battleship. The shipyard must have a gargoyle casting workshop, which can provide at least one brigade of gargoyles as an air defense force for the shipyard and port. At the same time, it must also help the shipyard train three
Shipbuilders and supporting professional wizards.”
Tanya glanced at him in surprise: "You seem to know a lot about magical shipbuilding?"
"I know a little bit," Brando replied somewhat proudly, "just so as not to be deceived."
"Hmph, it's a piece of cake. Any city-state in Buga like this has the ability to help you build it alone. We won't resort to fraud just for this little thing," Tanya casually turned over Brando and Antiti.
Na regarded the Cruze frigate blueprint as a treasure, and replied with some disdain: "Only you can appreciate such rubbish blueprints."
"Rubbish?"
"The technology of the Cruz people comes from the wind elves. You don't know who taught the wind elves their magic battleship technology, right?"
Brando certainly knew that only Buga's craftsman wizards in the world could have such confidence. One of the two poles of Warnd's magic technology was in front of him at the moment. He took a gentle breath and asked
: "Could it be that you can help us build a type of battleship? The Dragon of Akagas class?"
"Hey, how do you know about the Dragon Level of Akagas?" Tanya asked in surprise: "Of course it's impossible."
The Dragon of Akagas is the latest battleship that Buga has been building since the Year of the Cold Moon. It is also the decisive battleship in the future Slate War. Of course Brando did not expect it, but he just said it casually.
.He asked again: "What about the older ones?"
"It's impossible."
"Where's the frigate?"
Tanya shook her head: "Little guy, just give up on this idea. The Silver Council is on its own, and its willingness to help you is already an exception. It is impossible to convince those old guys, even if they help you build a magic dock.
We can only use the technology of the wind elves or the Cruz people. As for the gargoyles, anyway, it is a technology that has been leaked before the second holy war, so it won't be too difficult. As for the others, don't think too much."
"Hey," Brando sighed, as if he had expected this: "In that case, Aunt Tanya, why do you have to raise my hopes?"
"Because you are a fool," the goblin lady replied angrily: "Although we can't do it, there are people who can."
"who?"
"Hazel people, Hazel people are the mortal enemies of the Cruz people. If one day they really stand on the opposite side of the empire, I can find a way to contact them for you. I believe those arrogant short people will be happy to help you become
The most trusted enemy on the southern border of the empire." She glanced at Brando and replied, "You don't look down on their technology, do you?"
"Of course, of course I can look down on it!" Brando then reacted, a little overjoyed, joking, how dare he look down on one of the two extremes of magic technology, but the Hazel people rarely have contact with the outside world, so he didn't dare to think about it.
That’s all.
Tanya took a picture of the drawing and asked: "So, this is all your request?"
Brando immediately shook his head: "Of course not, Aunt Tanya. Naturally, it is impossible for me to take ten frigates to the empire to recapture the Azure Gun. The previous request was only a prerequisite for our cooperation. As a way for me to recapture the Azure Gun,
After the Spear, the empire may be on guard against Eruin's retaliation. And I want to recapture the Azure Spear, which is a difficult task in itself, and I need your unreserved support."
The goblin lady looked at him with an expression that said, "I've expected you to say this. You don't want to say that you want to go to the empire to retrieve the Azure Spear, but you need a battleship to do it, right?"
Brando smiled awkwardly, obviously being told what was on his mind. He quickly shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just want some small things, Aunt Tanya."
After reaching an initial consensus, the subsequent discussions seemed much more relaxed. Of course, this ease was relative to one party. When the two-hour bargaining process passed by, Brando was satisfied, and Tanya's face looked...
It's not very good-looking. "If your grandfather was half as smart as you, he wouldn't have gotten to where he was at the end." These were the exact words of a certain elf lady. Of course, although she seemed very dissatisfied, she still accepted Brando's invitation to keep her in Val.
After all, both parties knew that these transactions were just a drop in the bucket for Buga.
And when Antitina followed Brando out of the side hall of Valhalla Town Hall, she couldn't help but doubt that she was still in a dream. Although she was used to seeing big scenes, she was still not sure.
He whispered to Brando and asked: "Lord, Ms. Tanya really promised to give us a thousand gargoyles?"
Brando nodded.
"And there are three hundred steel puppets?"
Brando nodded again.
"And the Ether Dragon?"
Brando probably guessed what his staff member was thinking. He turned around and replied: "We are just helping the Buga people handle their inventory. These things are long-lag technologies for them, and they are backlogged every year.
In the warehouse, maintenance fees need to be paid continuously, and even if it is scrapped, it will cost a lot of money. Instead, it is more profitable for them to give it to us. After all, it is not given away for free, and we have to work hard for them."
"But that's a gargoyle, Lord. In the early years in Eruin, if any noble had a gargoyle as a guard in his castle, it would be an extremely glorious thing. We actually have so many at once,
It's incredible." Antitina could hardly imagine that these things were just scraps that Brando said the Buga people were eager to deal with. It seemed that it was not until this moment that she had an intuitive understanding of the power of the legendary Silver Kingdom.
Of course, she also had a stronger understanding of her lord's lion's big mouth. In other words, she would never dare to ask the Buga people for excessive prices.
But in fact, Brando cares more about the last little deal than these things. He hopes that Tanya will come forward to help him collect some special materials that Valhalla urgently needs. When it comes to collections in this world,
In terms of richness, I'm afraid no one can match the white-bearded wizards of the Silver Alliance.
It took Antitina a while to recover from her dazed state. She rubbed her forehead and asked in a low voice: "Lord, where shall we go next?"
Brando nodded.
"The Cruz people are causing trouble for us, so naturally we are going to cause some trouble for them," he replied: "Let's go, let's go see Prince Lenaret."
The two left the side hall one after another. Behind them, Prince Haruze was trying to follow, but was grabbed by the arm. The little prince turned around and looked at Medusa Les who grabbed him in confusion.
Meka asked: "Sister Lesmeka, what can I do for you?"
Lesmeka raised her finger to her lips and made a silent gesture to him, and asked in a hissing voice: "Is that Lord Count your teacher?"
Haruze nodded.
"Does he support you becoming king?"
Haruze shook his head: "I don't want to be the king, sister Lesmeka, but don't tell my sister, she will scold me."
"Okay, little guy," Lesmeka patted his little head: "Whether you want to be a king or not, you must hold on to your teacher. In this small country of yours, I'm afraid no one can
More capable than him."
"What's wrong, Sister Lesmeka?" Haruze was a little confused.
"Nothing," Lesmeka suddenly asked: "Little prince, can you let me go with you on a mission to that empire?"
"Don't you want to go, sister Lesmeka?"
"I changed my mind."
"Oh," Haruze said, "I think it should be okay. I can choose a few people to accompany me. I'll ask Mrs. Wenze to stay."
"Thank you, little guy." Medusa Lesmeca licked her lips with her forked tongue and looked at the direction Brando was leaving in a strange way, "It's really interesting that I can make Buga people move."
