Act 52 The King of the Underground (3)

When Brando saw the crystal tears rolling down Qian's face, he was stunned:

"What's wrong?"

But the girl let her tears fall in a daze, as if she didn't hear her, and it took her a while to react. She sniffed first to stop her emotions from collapsing, and finally realized her gaffe, and her cheeks suddenly became hot and blood-red.

"It's nothing, because it hurts too much..." Akane turned her head away and replied reluctantly: "Lord..."

Brando suddenly burst into tears, thinking that this excuse was too lame - did it look like he was crying because he was in too much pain? It would be more appropriate to say that it was to cover up the panic!

He was not an idiot, and he had vaguely guessed what the girl was thinking. Although he didn't know how Akane felt about the other members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, Macaro, and herself, he could see that her apparent reticence could not conceal this girl's avoidance of everything in the past.

Rather than accepting everything now, it is better to say that she is still stuck in the memories of the past - she seems to have an instinctive fear and distrust of the external world - if she leaves everything she is familiar with, she will be... Surrounded by a huge sense of isolation.

Brando didn't know what Qian had experienced in the past, but he knew that what the Maned Wolf Macaro had done must have caused great harm to the girl.

"Can you stand up?" he asked, putting aside these thoughts.

Akane nodded weakly, but she tried several times, even if she held Brando's hand, the severe pain still made her cry and kneel down.

Brando couldn't bear to see the red-haired girl crying while gritting her teeth and working hard. Although it was not that he had never seen a woman cry, compared to those wealthy ladies in the game whose eyes would turn red at every turn, he admired Akane's strength more.

Besides, he is still a man after all.

"Stop insisting, I'll carry you!" Brando said.

They can't stay here for too long, although they don't know the situation of Kuran and Medisha who are sealed on the other side. But if the old man returns to the surface before them, then their operation will be a complete failure.

So we have to race against time.

"How about... okay?"

Qian was stunned, but how could a lord do such a thing? Maybe Macaro will do this,

But she now knows that it was to win people's hearts - just like the grand leader didn't care about her at all in the past - she didn't understand why at first. No matter how good she did, she couldn't get anything like Eco. So many looks.

But later she finally understood that even to win people's hearts, one needs to be qualified to be bought. Of course Akane wouldn't be jealous of the one she loved, but she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

A guy who doesn't even have silver strength might not be as good as Reddy in the leader's mind. Thinking of the white-haired young man who had been killed by Brando, the red-haired girl couldn't help but feel disgust in her heart.

But what is this young lord doing?

She has no strength at all now, and she has no reputation among the remaining members of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. She is not as good as Sanford. To say that the lord snooped on her body, she also thought that she was not as beautiful as the business lady who was announced to the outside world as Brando's fiancée.

Even Brando is limited to small physical intimacy, let alone himself.

"No need..." She thought for a moment and shook her head vigorously: "Lord, please go first, wait until you control the mining area, and then come and save me..."

She paused for a moment and said with some hesitation: "I am a mercenary. I am not too afraid of anyone. At most, at most, sir, please leave me a lighting crystal..."

Brando looked at Qian with a look of fear clearly written on her face, dumbfounded. He thought whether he could find a way out was still a problem, but even if he was lucky and everything went well, it would be at least a few hours before he could come back. Not to mention the danger of leaving a defenseless girl here, the most important thing is that he might be in danger of becoming a god as soon as he gets far away from Akane.

However, he thought for a moment and did not say it directly. Instead, he replied tactfully: "You have lost too much blood. It will be very dangerous to stay here."

"It doesn't matter," the red-haired girl shook her head: "This is also Lord Martha's will. Besides, it is not necessary for you to be a drag--"

She paused and her voice became softer: "Actually, thank you, Lord Lord. You don't want to leave Akane behind. This is enough..."

The girl took a breath and suddenly smiled with some difficulty: "So... I can't be selfish, right?"

Brando was stunned after hearing this.

He looked at Qian's beautiful amber eyes - there was even a trace of water mist in them, but in the end they were still dim and lackluster, and he suddenly understood in his heart.

Such an outstanding girl would at least not have suffered such a fate if she had lived in Warnd's stable era——

But is there ever a time for Warnd to settle down?

Amber Sword sets this world into a conflicting and turbulent world because a game needs a turbulent environment to write an epic chapter, but what is an epic? For this world, it is nothing more than fire burning the earth, bones piling up, and blood flowing like rivers.

In Warnd, where the borders of civilization are constantly being eroded, wars are becoming more and more frequent. Human beings have become more collective on the one hand due to the need for survival, but on the other hand they have become more utilitarian and practical.

The consequence is that individual existence becomes insignificant.

The warmth between people has long since disappeared, and the entire society was filled with a cold flavor when it was formed, cold and efficient.

Although there is more and more resistance in Eruin because the incompetent nobles hold the ruling power of the country, this resistance is not to overthrow the system of this world. In the final analysis, it is because the people at the bottom generally doubt the legitimacy of the rulers - this legitimacy has nothing to do with blood and origin, and the only criterion for judgment is strength.

The strong are respected, and the weak seem to be left to fend for themselves.

As a modern person, Brando does not object to the former, but he disagrees with the latter.

It's like he knows that Akane's story is not an exception in this world - there are thousands of Akanes here - just like there are tens of thousands of Funyas. If it hadn't been for him, that one would have The little girl in Green Village will probably end up no better than the red-haired girl in front of her.

Is not it?

What's more, there are far more unfortunate people in this world than them.

He was powerless to change all this, which was different from changing the fate of the kingdom of Eruin. It is a resistance to the will of the world itself. This will not only represents the power of a huge society, but also the natural laws that form this power itself.

After all, this is a different world from the earth.

Brando's selfish wish is to save the kingdom. As for whether this wish will hurt more people - these people may be from other countries in the world, whether it is Madara or Cruz - or Even the oppression of the kingdom itself was the same, he didn't think much about it.

Brando only hopes that those people he is familiar with, whether it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Valkyrie, and many more people who have dedicated their lives to this kingdom, the tragedy that happened to these people will not happen again.

Rewriting history, nothing more.

Just like when a tragedy like Akane happened around him, he didn't think he could turn a blind eye.

So after Brando heard what the girl said, he was slightly startled and then shook his head: "You think too much, am I such an incompetent person?"

"But..." Qian was still hesitating.

"An excellent team leader will not leave any of his team members behind -" Brando felt that he should say something similar to this that looks very handsome at this time. He remembered that this sentence was still the senior sister who brought the team together. He was told when it was given to him.

However, he found that when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not be serious at all. In the end, he could only shake his head and make a poor joke: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you."

But after Brando said this, he almost cried in his heart, feeling that he had completely embarrassed the time traveler.

Qian was no better, her face was completely red, and she quickly shook her head: "Of course not, it's just..."

"There is no more." Brando felt that he was going crazy if he continued to speak. He simply picked up Qian with both hands without saying a word, completely ignoring the latter who screamed in fright.

Akane was stunned.

She never dreamed that Brando would come hard, and she thought in confusion: "He, he, he just said he wouldn't take advantage of me—!" But the girl immediately lowered her head to her chest like an ostrich. In front of me, my ears were red and my heart was pounding, and I couldn't say a word.

Does she think this is the legendary princess hug?

When she was in the mercenary group, she had thought more than once whether Eco would carry her to the temple like this one day, but this small extravagant hope had long since turned into a beautiful fantasy after Yura appeared. That’s all.

But this red-haired girl would never have imagined that one day someone would actually hug her like this. It's just that this person is not the one she imagined, and the dark mine tunnels around him seem a little too weird.

But when she rested her head on Brando's chest like an ostrich, although her heart was beating hard, she felt an inexplicable sense of stability.

"The Lord is different from most of the people I have met," she thought, "and he is also different from Eco. Being around him makes people feel a strange sense of reassurance and trust. This feeling must be Antitina's. It's the same thing, Miss Luo Man is the same, you can all feel it..."

Qian suddenly understood why more and more people had gathered around Brando in just a few months. Although this had something to do with the young man's personal ability - but in Warnd, there were people who had a better background than him. There are many capable people.

But today she finally found the reason.

She made a slight 'cut' sound, thinking that she was lucky to be able to follow such a lord. It seemed that Lady Martha had not completely abandoned herself.

Just the prospect of losing her power still made her feel a little bleak. Akane knew that she was not a genius, and it might not be that simple to regain that power.

But she shook her head and threw away the idea. Let's take it one day at a time. Brando's every move made her completely relieved.

But when the girl thought this, she didn't know that she might only have a few days or even hours to live.
