Scene 149, it seems that something big has happened
The wind blew the trees, the wedge-shaped leaves of the oak trees rustled, and the broken light between the shades of the trees swayed on Delphine's long skirt.
"Can you tell me about it?"
The prime minister's daughter nodded slightly, as if she didn't care about Brando's reneging on her words after she finished speaking: "Since we left Loen Port, Her Majesty the Queen should have lost our traces, starting from the Sublime Sea and the Inland Sea.
There are dozens of routes. We can go to Cloak Bay, Metz, Mosaic Neck, north of Evergreen Walkway, Rokozy and even northwest of Anzeruta. Even in Metz, there are dozens of ports. And after arriving at Fatan
, even if His Majesty’s spies placed next to you find an opportunity to send back the message, there will be no time to dispatch the troops calmly at that time. After all, no one in this world can truly predict the future.”
There was a glass of water on the armrest of the wheel. Delphine put his fingertips into the glass, dipped it lightly, and then drew a few simple lines on the round oak flower bed next to it. Brando saw that it was a
On a simple map, Delphine first drew the coastline, and then marked several key locations, namely the Imperial Capital, the entrance to Ludwig, East Metz, the north of the Evergreen Walkway, and Fatan Port.
She pointed with her hand in the direction of the Imperial Capital, then moved to Ludwig, then to East Metz, and finally stopped at Fatan Port: "It has been a week since we arrived at Fatan Port. We took the Gryphon
It would take at most two days to reach Ludwig from the imperial capital, and half a week to reach East Metz. In terms of time, she did not have time to mobilize any of her troops nearby, and even for an assassination, she did not have time to prepare calmly. But
The situation in Port Fatan City is currently unstable, and there are people behind the scenes who are ready to take action, which means that Her Majesty the Queen has already taken action, and she is sure to complete a blow against you in the near future."
Brando did not ask Delphine where she got the news in the city. I believe that with her wisdom, it is not too difficult to get words out of others. Besides, he looked at Ms. Silver Dragon beside her, Miss Mi.
Ms. Riel seemed to admire her very much, and if she asked, she probably wouldn't - or wouldn't bother to lie. But these were not considered secrets, and Brando didn't bother to ask.
Delphine's voice was as calm as water. He continued: "Constance is a headstrong person and likes to show her strong side in front of outsiders. She especially likes to act arbitrarily and rarely listens to other people's opinions. She seems to be a very typical imperial emperor.
.But this is actually just an illusion she shows in front of outsiders. As the supreme leader of the empire, she needs to maintain her majesty through such means and make people unable to figure it out. This method seems to be very successful. But
It's a pity that some things are destined to betray you."
"When her father and grandfather were in power, the empire and the temple were on the same level. However, during her reign, the imperial power became increasingly stable and the relationship with the temple became increasingly harmonious. This is definitely not a dictatorial person.
It can be done. After all, there are still a few female kings in the history of the empire. Although she deliberately hides herself, she has to make achievements to prove herself. However, the achievements will eventually record her in history. For her
She can’t change her life and character.”
"Constance is actually a very calm person. Judging from all her policy policies and plans in the past ten years, we can also see that she likes to make decisions and then act."
The map painted on the stone platform has gradually faded away, leaving only very shallow traces.
"Once such a person decides to attack you, she must be fully prepared. I will consider the whole thing from her perspective, whether it is mobilizing an army to attack your fleet, Lord Lord, or having someone assassinate you.
You cannot be sufficient and perfect in terms of time, so you have to find another way."
Brando nodded, but even excluding the mobilization of troops and assassination, there are thousands of methods that the Silver Queen can use. Especially in this world where magic is rampant, it is too easy to plot against a person. If only
This doesn't mean anything, and it will be very difficult for him to take precautions next. The only way he can think of is to catch those guys who are causing trouble behind the scenes first, but thinking about it, since the other party dares to do something, they are obviously not afraid of being caught by him.
.
Delphine didn't seem to find it so difficult: "It's actually very simple to know what methods Her Majesty the Queen will use. There are actually several details hidden in the series of things that happened before, which we didn't pay attention to before.
But after figuring out the ins and outs, the information contained in it became clear."
Her eyes fell on the tea at her hand. The sunlight was floating up and down in the crimson tea, just like her thoughts.
She continued: "First of all, the Silver Queen deliberately led me to Vargas to find you in order to convey a message. If you take this message apart, it means nothing more than: 'She has controlled the situation in the Imperial Capital.
You can take action now', why did she want to pass on this message?"
"We can get many answers from this question. First, this person must be in the envoy, otherwise the conjecture of transmitting information cannot be established; second, if this information cannot have any effect on him, then the act of transmitting information cannot be established.
It is not necessary in itself, so this person will definitely not be an insignificant and small role; thirdly, if this person is not an insignificant and small role, then this person will definitely play some role in this plan."
Brando was stunned. What the prime minister's daughter said sounded like a matter of course to him, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it did contain a lot of useful information. There was a flash of inspiration in his mind.
It was just that I couldn't analyze which of the information was useful and which was meaningless. At this time, Delphine continued to speak:
"What role this person can play in this plan is related to Her Majesty's plan. The so-called plan refers to the process of achieving a goal formulated for a certain goal, and the process is only to achieve the goal.
means, if the goal no longer exists, then the means are meaningless, so the core of the plan is the goal, not the process. So in the final analysis, there is only one question worth discussing - that is, what is His Majesty's goal. A person
There is often a motive for doing something. Motivation is the goal. Motivation refers to the interests that drive people to act in this way. To put it simply, if Her Majesty the Queen acts against you, what can she get from you? In other words, if she acts against you, what will happen to her?
What’s the benefit?”
Delphine dipped his hands in tea again and drew a few symbols on the map that had completely dried up and disappeared. Brando recognized those symbols. Those were the wizard's sketch marks - benefits and hindrances. Then he raised his head: "Benefits
It refers to gains and losses, which can be distinguished by simple good and bad. Her interests can be obtained from you, or she can prevent losses. But in theory, you are a little Earl of Eruin, you and Her Majesty the Queen should
Without any interaction, you can't hinder her, and she can't pay attention to you. Now her eyes are on you. That means there must be something special about you that can attract her attention, or threaten her.
she."
"In this way, when looking for targets from adults, the range of choices becomes much narrower."
She thought for a moment: "Let me make a hypothesis. Your Majesty calls herself the Dragon of Darkness and is not willing to be the enemy of the entire continent. Since she doesn't even pay attention to the four major temples, how can she care about the one from Eruin?
A small threat? I assume that the Lord also has the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. No. It should be part of the inheritance. Then the real situation should be like this. Neither you nor Her Majesty the Queen are the real Dragon of Darkness, but you are both in charge of it.
Part of the power of the Dark Dragon, but there can only be one true Dark Dragon."
At this point, Delphine paused for a moment, with a glint in his eyes: "Yes, that's the only way, everything can be explained. Why does the lord have witches loyal to him, and why does Her Majesty the Queen have a soft spot for the lord.
In this way, the logic is established as to why the lord can rise in a short period of time. And there is circumstantial evidence. Her Majesty the Queen obtained the inheritance of the Dark Dragon from the battlefield of the last battle. The empire had other people there.
A high-level person, that person is the lord’s grandfather—Earth Sword Saint Darus.”
The voice seemed to have stopped.
Can you guess this? Brando was stunned.
Delphine looked at his expression and said calmly: "I have another piece of evidence, and it is now written on your face, sir."
Brando blushed. After experiencing so many things, he had rarely been so out of control, but this was mainly because the wisdom of the prime minister's daughter was beyond his expectation. "It's nothing, you
You're right." He simply stopped denying it. Besides, now that Her Majesty the Queen was taking the blame for him, he didn't care too much about it. However, he still asked with some apprehension: "But have you watched it yet?
What else?"
"Anything else? I'm not interested in your adultery. I'm just discussing business matters at the moment."
Brando breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was somewhat unlikely, after seeing this lady's performance, he was really afraid that the other party would really see where he came from. At this time, he felt attracted by the other party's light purple
At first glance, it was as if he had no clothes on and his nakedness was exposed in front of the other party. No wonder smart women are said to be unlovable, and now Brando also feels sad.
Compared with the current secrets, his origin is the biggest secret in the world, and it is also a mystery that he has not solved yet. He knows that he is Brando, but he also has Sophie's soul in him.
He calmed down and finally understood what Delphine said: "What you mean is that Her Majesty the Queen knows that I am the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. It is for this reason that she chose to take action against me. Therefore, the person beside me,
Most likely a witch."
"Because only witches can play a decisive role in this matter, and witches can control dreams and kill people invisibly without having to go to the victim in person," Delphine nodded and said, "Connect all the threads.
When we look up, the whole line is flawless and there is no doubt, then it is probably the one we are looking for."
"Witch..." Brando muttered to himself.
"I don't know much about witches. As an aide, there is only so much I can do at the moment. The rest needs to be dealt with by yourself."
Brando nodded, that was enough. He couldn't help but said seriously to the prime minister's daughter: "Miss Delphine, if you had to deal with me with the attitude you have now, I might
It’s going to be big trouble.”
"You are overthinking, my lord. You were just a small nobleman from Eruin. I didn't take it seriously at all. The first time I wanted to do it myself, but I didn't expect you to have some strength, but that's all.
, there is no need to kill a chicken with a big knife." Delphine replied as if he was answering a matter that had nothing to do with him: "The second time I planned to hire a few mercenaries to assassinate you, after all, that would be enough.
At that time, you were the head of the Eruin envoy. It was not easy for me to deal with you openly, not to mention it was too troublesome. As for after killing you, I naturally had a way to escape, but I didn't expect to be attacked by a giant dragon.
, that was an accident that could not be predicted by humans, so I don’t intend to hold any grudges about this matter.”
Only then did Brando understand, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the woman didn't take him seriously. He couldn't help but ask again: "What about your fiancé Elman?"
Speaking of Elman, the prime minister's daughter finally had some reaction. She raised her head with a sad look in her eyes: "Actually, I know that Elman's death has nothing to do with you and Faina. I clearly understand that I
I am expressing my anger, but in this situation, I am no longer qualified."
Brando suddenly realized.
…
"Now that we know that the witch is behind the trouble, the next thing is simple. The most powerful three-line inheritance witch in the world is under the control of the Silver Queen. If she wants to implement this plan, then these three are the most likely to take action.
Witches. The witch king of this generation is called Smeralda. She is a painful witch from the Dark Moon and a believer of Alastor, the fourth daughter of Isis. As the witch king, it is difficult for her to leave the Kingdom of Winter.
, so it is unlikely to take action. Then the only ones left are Agatris of the Eternal Dark Moon and the lady in front of us - the deceitful witch, Melietra. But since Her Majesty knows that the Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles is
My teacher, then he will definitely send someone to hold him back, and this candidate must be Agatris, a believer in the Golden Sea, because Melietra is no match for my teacher at all, but she is more than enough to deal with me."
"Of course, it is also possible that witches from other lineages will come to deal with me, but apart from the above three, others are no threat to me -"
The labyrinth of the upright is disappearing. After listening to Brando's statement, Roman couldn't help but replied with some clarity: "That's it." She raised her little eyebrows: "So Brando, you knew there were bad people among the witches.
?”
"At least earlier than you, the so-called Witch Queen." Brando replied angrily.
"Then don't act like you're surprised in the future. It scared me just now. I thought I would be scolded by you."
'Bob' Brando flicked her forehead with his finger, causing the latter to groan and cover her forehead with her head buried in pain: "Does it mean that I wouldn't scold you if I knew about it before? What you should be thinking about is how to go about it.
You, the Witch Queen, should do your job competently instead of thinking about these crooked things."
As the dream disappeared, the castle that had been destroyed by the sharp gun Delaire was gradually returning to its original state. The ice and snow on the floor gradually melted and seeped into the ground. Soon even the water stains disappeared, and the broken walls
The broken stone pillars seemed to have gone back in time and returned to their places. The house was rebuilt, and the metal that had been frozen into powder condensed again. In just an instant, the entire corridor restored its previous appearance.
Of course, except for the few headless corpses on the ground and the flowing blood.
Brando glanced at Melietra who was in a coma. Although she escaped with the substitution technique, she was already exhausted. It was hard to say whether she could survive, but the witch's inheritance was completely shattered.
It is estimated that I will never be able to use magic again in this life. "Flo, go and inform the Baron to find someone to clean up the battlefield. Don't worry about what he will ask. I think the eldest son of the emperor will definitely encounter some trouble.
"
Fuluo nodded, put away the silver staff, and turned around silently to leave.
It was at this time that Brando suddenly felt the communication crystal on his wrist heat up slightly, and Charles's voice came from inside: "Lord, something big seems to have happened."
