The Amber Sword

Scene 58 After the Disaster

"riot?"

Bottom sat on a thick tree stump - it should be an elm or beech tree, a common tree species in the Golan-Elsen area - and stepped on the entangled tree roots with his feet. , couldn't help but sneeze. The experienced mercenary rubbed his nose and raised his head with a look of disbelief.

This area is an abandoned lumberyard on the outskirts of Prague. There are sparse tree stumps scattered on the edge of the forest. In fact, more wood comes from the upper reaches of the Pine River. People just intercept the floating logs here and process them. A corner of the wood processing factory is hidden behind the pine forest not far away. Only a corner of the building can be seen from this direction.

The time is approaching the moment when the first moon rises, the first wave of magical power. The stage of the day that the Matatanians call the 'sleep of all things' - during this stage the planeswalkers can only use the five spells of 'blue', 'black', 'grey', 'cyan' and 'white'. cards, usually they will arrange defense and lay the groundwork for counterattack at this time.

When the silver crescent moon appeared over the pine forest, Brando saw the last few birds flapping their wings through the shadowy forest, and then everything was silent except for the intermittent chirping of night owls in the distance.

The city of Prague is already far to the north. Standing on the edge of the forest, looking northward, there is a bright light along the gray hills in the north, as if the stars in the sky have fallen on the dark earth, forming a bright pearl and weaving a big net - —The lights are bright.

Brando is no stranger to this place. When he was young, he practiced swordsmanship with his grandfather here every morning when he was young. For another soul, this place will become the den of a local brotherhood of thieves about seven years later. Later, the Princess Regent suppressed unscrupulous merchants, and the underground auction market in the city was also moved to this place for a time.

But it was so many days later that the memory has a faded light yellow color, like an old photo. What made Brando a little confused was that he couldn't tell whether it was a memory from before or after.

Antitina stood a little uneasily in the night. She was wearing a beautiful moon-white dress. She had never been to the outskirts of Prague so late. Of course, when she was still the daughter of a noble family, she did not often attend outings of young ladies.

Antitina has always thought that her temperament is somewhat withdrawn, but she has always been proud that this is because she is more knowledgeable than those short-sighted ladies.

She stared at the silver moon over the pine forest. The dark forest made her feel nervous, but there was also a vague curiosity. It was like the romantic feelings of adventurers and the excitement of pursuing the unknown took root in her heart - making her want to Stay with these people.

This kind of life is new to her and full of unknowns.

But this lady still forced herself to let go of her girlish feelings.

She took a breath to calm down, and took over Bottom's words and replied: "I think if Test is not to test us, I'm afraid that the All-Union Society is planning something in the recent period and needs us to attract the nobles. They're paying attention. Of course I think it's more likely that it's a combination of both."

"That's just right, Lord Lord, we'd better not have anything to do with those devils in human skin." Bottom sat on the tree stump and said loudly: "Now that guy wearing a noble skin is not here, he can't threaten Any of us. Didn’t your Excellency say that we are going to Denel? Let’s go there together with Your Majesty! Go far away and see what he can do to us?”

Antitina listened to Bottom's words and glanced at Brando. She only learned today that Brando's true identity turned out to be not only a high-level member of the recently famous mercenary group, but also the leader behind the scenes. , which makes the young man in her eyes even more mysterious.

But what made her even more determined was that Viscount Tester, who had been secretly searching for her, unexpectedly turned out to be a member of the All-Union Society. Eruin, who was organized on the coast of the Abyssal Sea, was not just notorious. So much so that the girl's face turned pale when she heard that name.

Although Antitina had not thought about whether Brando would lie to her, the young knight seemed to have no need to do so.

Antitina soon saw Brando shake his head.

Brando withdrew his gaze from his own attributes. With his rich knowledge and experience in the game, he had figured out the profession of planeswalker - or rather, planeswalker was not a profession.

He saw in his career list that he still only had several identities and occupations: mercenary, militia, civilian, and scholar. This showed that the planeswalker itself was not counted as a profession, and it was not even considered an identity or sub-job.

Brando thought about it and understood the meaning of this existence. The core of the Planeswalker is the Destiny Card, which should be a large and special item system. Players can simulate and realize the abilities of any profession through this system.

To put it bluntly, this thing in the game is a set of rules that are separate from the original rules. Although it looks very powerful, if every player can master it, it won't be considered an outrageous ability.

Of course, if there was only genius, why would it appear in this world instead of existing in the original game?

But what makes Brando feel a little novel is that it is obvious that this item system is capable of growth, and this growth is not limited to relying on collecting more set cards, but is related to the holder's personal ability. closely related. He discovered that when his warrior level was only level ten, he only had four cards in his hand. But when he upgraded to level thirteen, the number of cards in his hand had increased to five, and the volume of the red, gold, and gray elements in the element pool that symbolized the knight's deck had increased by one.

But this time he heard Bottom's words.

Bottom's words can be said to be his true voice in some respects, but Brando knows that he cannot think about the problem in this way at this time. He is no longer the simple player he was before.

He has realized that maybe getting on the line with the Oneness of All Things may be a decision that is beneficial to him. Of course, he didn't want to join in with those guys who had no regard for human life. On the contrary, what he wanted to do was how to play Infernal Affairs.

So he shook his head.

"What?" Bottom was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Lord, do you want to work with them? But those people are not good people. They never have a good reputation."

Antitina originally wanted to say something, but now she remained silent. Brando's decision made her relieved. In fact, Brando thought so. She originally wanted to remind Brando that the All-Union Society was quite powerful. Since Tester was relieved to let him leave, there would definitely be Backhand.

She didn't want the Amber Sword mercenary group to make a strong enemy before they left Golan-Elsen. As Brando's staff, Antitina has subconsciously regarded this mercenary group as the young knight's private property.

"Of course I understand who those people are, Bottom. But in everything, you have to consider the consequences. Since I proposed this to that guy, I will not tell a lie that will be exposed in a moment." Brando said to Bottom. .

"So, aren't we going to incite those refugees to riot?" Bottom couldn't help scratching his head, somewhat reluctantly.

"Of course not. Brando must have a way. It's like this. When we were in Butchi, we all called him the Almighty Brando!" Little Roman stood by the river, bent down to pick up the stone pieces and put them in the water. There is nothing there. When she heard Bottom's words, she couldn't help but turn around and say.

When did you give me such a nickname when you were in Butchi again? Brando glanced at this dead girl and couldn't help but think angrily.

However, little Roman's current behavior does not match her current clothing and temperament at all——

She and Antitina both changed their clothes, and the original outfit had been damaged in the commotion at the auction house.

Roman didn't bring any change of clothes. During the trip, Brando bought a few pieces for her from a nearby merchant's house. The merchant girl kept them as treasures; but this time she temporarily wore the ones from Antitina's house. A long dress - Little Roman looked particularly good in that black gold-trimmed dress. The slender waist supported a wide and gorgeous skirt, and only a circle of white lace was exposed at the bottom. petticoat.

Originally, she walked with her own unique temperament - full of confidence, holding her head up and holding her chest out - and her well-developed breasts showed a beautiful curve under the tight waist skirt top. Looking at Antitina, she felt jealous.

However, Antitina still specially tied up her light brown hair with floral decorations, so that when the little businessman fox walked out of the room, she proudly turned around to Brando, and then she was sweet. She smiled sweetly and gave him a small wink. Brando is still a little dazed when he sees her now.

But she looks like those businesswomen who spend a lot of money in Port Ampel. It's just that no one of that status would roll up his sleeves, expose his white lotus-rooted arms, and bend down to carefully pick up the stones on the river beach to see which one can fly farther on the water.

In fact, Brando doesn't even understand why this guy has to wear this troublesome outfit when he comes to the wild.

Of course, the answer to this question is probably: because I am a businessman. Such a mindless answer.

After hearing Roman's words, Bottom looked at Brando doubtfully.

Brando then nodded: "In less than half a month, these refugees gathering in the south of Prague will naturally have problems. The upcoming celebration will appease them for a while, but in the end it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Those nobles who live a comfortable life are You won’t understand.”

"Really?" Antitina looked curious this time.

Brando nodded. The August riots were not a big event in history. But it was enough to hand in an answer for Test, and they did it effortlessly.

Brando had no intention of stopping the commotion, not to mention he didn't have the power. It is difficult to resettle refugees if they need room for survival. The nobles are unwilling to take on this burden, and no one can take it.

That's tens of thousands of eating mouths.

Bottom opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that the complicated problem he thought of would be solved easily in Brando's mouth. He couldn't help but look back at Antitina, who was vaguely worried - she was not like the careless red-bearded mercenary, whose head could only accommodate the simplest lines of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages - she It always feels like Brando seems to know something more than each of them.

But Brando felt refreshed when he saw the lame man walking out of the dark forest with someone. He asked the lame man to investigate what was going on in the city. It seemed that he should have some clues.

Sure enough, as soon as the lame man and the two short night thieves emerged from the bushes, they said to Brando: "I found out, it was those losers who neglected their duties, and those undead came into the city disguised as businessmen."

"Who?" Brando asked.

"A cavalry captain named Carankado." The lame man replied. He wanted to say something else, but saw Brando shake his head. Brando happens to know this Carankado, because this guy is the future commander of the Silver Wings Cavalry of the White Mane Legion——

"This guy is a royalist." Brando muttered to himself.

It turns out that dereliction of duty may not be that simple. He couldn't help but think of the firebrands at the auction. I'm afraid this matter had something to do with the royal family. Everything that happened on this day in Prague in 'The Amber Sword' was later covered up, otherwise Brando wouldn't have known anything about it.

This shows that there must be an unknown force behind it.

The royal family is playing with fire.

Brando couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat after thinking clearly about the cause and effect. It's a shame that Obergu VII could figure it out. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? Fortunately, Instalong is not interested in Golan Elson, otherwise if he takes advantage of the situation and strikes, the situation in the south of Eruin will probably be ruined.

Of course, he couldn't help but think maliciously - maybe Aubugu VII was man-made because the situation in the south had become so corrupt that it could no longer be corrupted.
