Shaman from Afar

In the early morning of the next day, when Loren appeared outside Brandon ’s tent, the night watchman Edward, Dalton Kander and Yuli Wiltz had been waiting for a long time, not surprisingly watching the dark-haired wizard coming Figure.

"He knew?"

Edward's stiff expression nodded slightly, answering Loren while not forgetting to glance at Dalton beside his eyes.

"Peter Fasha and Vera moved forward for an hour, and they were telling the whole story ... or history, in detail, it should be almost over." Looking at Dalton's unresponsive face, Edward was cold. Humming:

"As for what your majesty can understand, and whether you will be willing to believe ... not easy to say."

Loren nodded, with Brandon's character he was not surprised at all: "How about mentor, Ain and Isaac?"

It's not surprising that the little wizard didn't show up, and Isaac was a little abnormal.

"Grantham is more stable than you think, he has gone back to rest." Dalton said in a deep voice: "Ain and Lucien, and Carl Colin and others have been sent to appease the camp. The wizards are inside. "

"This time the Void reaction was so strong that ordinary people could be aware of it-first of all, it must be ensured that the wizards in the barracks would not talk nonsense and destroy morale; now Ain is in charge of the medical and logistics affairs in the camp. All wizards must accept her assignment, and with her assistance, it is not difficult to appease the wizards. "

"How long can I hide?"

"This kind of thing, the more concealed the more terrible." Dalton shook his head: "It is enough for everyone to remain silent before His Majesty officially announces his decision."

"Yes, this is the most important thing at the moment." Yuli Wiltz agrees very much. His solemn eyes have not left Brandon's camp for a moment:

"The Azores are doing evil, evil spirits under the seal of Ebden ... Various rumors, and it will become impossible to clean up things without clarifying them as soon as possible."

"I have ordered the Grand Duke and the Legion Commander without permission, and the counts who have come here to hold a meeting at noon, how much can temporarily stabilize the military." Grand Duke Elmand frowned slightly, still could not help looking at Loren behind:

"Is the situation ... really serious?"

Facing the confused Julie Wiltz, the dark-haired wizard could understand his mood at the moment, but he really didn't know how to explain it to him.

Just like the "Traverser Loren" who had not met Asriel before, and the "Servant Loren" appeared in front of him, Loren did not know how to explain to him the evil spirits, the void, the Holy Cross ... and this The relationship between everything is completely beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Black Cross ... It's something on a different level that many wizards can't understand.

Yuli Wiltz looked sideways, he saw that the question was not very easy to explain: "Black cross ... is it powerful?"

"It has nothing to do with being strong or not. If possible, he may not kill anyone." Loren shook his head: "But if he succeeds, he can kill any of us at will."

"Eliminate?"

"Yes, not to kill you, but to make you non-existent-traces of your existence, your memories in other people's hearts, your soul, body, everything you have touched and what happened to you, all he needs is a thought The erasure is clean. "Loren said softly:

"Not just you, even the appearance of this world, if he doesn't like it, he can change it; history, civilization, world ... for him, it will be something like a story or an oil painting, like it will stay, don't like it Just throw it away and try again, just in a single thought. "

The voice fell ... Not only Yuli Wurz, but also Edward changed.

"Loren, listening to your tone does not seem to describe an enemy, but more like ..." After a slight pause, Grand Duke Elleman's face was pale and hesitated for a long time:

"... God."

"Who said no?"

Loren nodded, but his eyes turned to the direction of the camp; the voice behind the curtain faded, proving that the people inside had ended the conversation.

One minute later, Peter Fasha and Vera walked out of the camp and their expressions were extremely complicated; they were always alert to Edward, who was standing next to him, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no injury to them, and he was slightly relieved.

"Brandon ... Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, Duke Loren." Looking up, Peter and the black-haired wizard looked at each other: "Your Majesty's mood is not stable now. Please be cautious."

"I know, thank you."

The words fell and everyone prepared to step forward, but was stopped by Peter.

"Your Majesty Brandon ... He just wants to see Duke Loren alone."

And his colleagues exchanged glances and nodded to express their understanding — such a thing happened before the celebration feast was over. If you can, Brandon probably does n’t want to see anyone now.

A person should be his limit.

Loren no longer talked much, nodded slightly to the crowd, and straightened across Peter's little back, and walked into the camp.

……………………

The last time I saw such a decadent Brandon, it seemed that it was when Eckhardt II died ... Already, almost a year ago.

At that time, he was in pain, fear, and a trace of joy mixed in the uneasiness-even if he resented Eckhart II, it was his father, who gave him all the privileges, status and life Father.

Eckhardt II struggled alive while he was alive, surviving his brother ’s growing momentum and his father ’s authority; at that time even Brandon himself knew that he had little hope of conquering the throne with Connold, but in order to keep it He still has to fight for his little life, freedom and certain small ambitions.

But when Eckhart really died, he lost his father Brandon and did n’t know how to survive, it was very uneasy for a while.

After Connold succeeded to the throne, Brandon, who was closer to the throne and "resurrected with full blood", found the motivation to continue to live and began to attack the position of the Supreme Emperor.

The name of the war in Ebdon, Sakran ’s internal chaos for profit, the Boundary Mountain Fortress grabbed the military power at one fell swoop, and then relying on the strategic plan left by Eckhardt and Connold, step by step to complete the Azores War Crowned on the battlefield to become emperor, "Self-proclaimed" Dragon Master Brandon II.

According to Brandon's ideas, he should take the next big victory, coercion of the Sky Dome and the Imperial Parliament, and become a true and justified one, saying that the imperial emperor, by means of compromise with each other, completed his planned reforms. The fourteenth generation left a strong pen ... This is the future he can stay in.

And now, this future is torn to pieces by the news of "Séior".

But this time Brandon no longer fears, there is no pain, and there is no uneasiness ... but confused and at a loss.

No one ever told him, and when someone told him, he did n’t forget to remind him by the way that this powerful enemy is not something we can overcome.

He was very confused, and even more at a loss—knowing himself, or that the empire was about to hit the corner, but it seemed he could do nothing.

Maybe it was something that could be done, but it is too late anyway, and it is too late.

Too late, only to watch everything happen, end, and wait for death.

"Is there anything to say?"

Sat paralyzed at the map table, staring at sleepless scarlet eyes for a night, and hearing the footsteps behind him, Brandon spoke weakly.

Glanced across the camp, Loren picked up the jug in the corner, poured a glass for himself and Brandon, and sat down opposite him in a polite way, holding the glass without saying a word.

You let me come, you say it first.

"Well, follow you." Shrugging, Brandon's indifferent posture.

The scarlet eyes are still staring at the map in front of him.

"Twenty years ago, I thought that the De Salion family was a great family-it was us! Ended the chaotic and entangled era of the ancient kingdom and established an empire that can resist the invasion of monsters and aliens; … The hero who guards the world! "

"Hey, hey ... 20 years ago, you might not have imagined. At that time, I even regarded Brother Connold as a hero-he would become the emperor, and I was the most trusted person around the emperor; I would Help him, help him and even his heirs, and build an impenetrable royal palace. "

"Well, it's actually not hard to think of, and aren't you doing just that?"

"is it?!"

Excited Brandon sipped out the wine.

"Ten years ago ... I knew it was just a legend, a mongolian thing--De Salion, Turin, Frid, Wiltz ... We are no different, all we want is one thing, only However, the most powerful DeSalyon was first. "

"How about the Knight King, and what about the Lord of the Great Green Sea? Eckhart I extended both a helping hand and a warning to help them defeat the Centaur and Dwarf invasion; if they dare to refuse again, the burnt Dwarf and Centaur It's their end. "

"They are smart and afraid of death, so they chose to submit-not the ambition to submit to Eckhart I, but his dragon and army, nothing more."

With a sneer, Brandon's expression became lonely again: "Five years ago ... I knew more things; Holy Cross Church, Dragon Kingdom, Wizard, Evil God, Dragon Origin, Dragon Kingdom Destruction ... After all, I understand that the De Salion family is not a big fist, but is lucky enough to marry the dragon queen to become the dragon king family. "

"At that time, I almost thought I knew the truth of the world; I thought I would be a special emperor! I would do something different from any previous emperor, and I might have thought about them. , But did not dare to do things that cannot be done! "

"I do n’t want to live in the shadow of my father and brother all my life, and make myself the same thing as" Titou "-everyone knows the Queen Dragon, a few know the son of the Queen, what is the eleventh generation of the Supreme Emperor ; He has done so many things, but sandwiched between the empress and my father emperor, he becomes a head. "

"I do n’t want to be Brandon II, I do n’t want to be the second Brandon. What I want to become is the" Dragonmaster "Brandon; let the name become weighty, so that anyone in the future will know to take this The name of the emperor will do something! "

Said to himself excitedly, Brandon picked up the jug again and took a big gulp.

"Now ... this is already impossible, right?"

"Along the Eckhardt II ... my amazing, predictable route designed by the father and emperor, no matter how struggling, it makes no sense ... right?"

"Intentionally let Peter Fassa know everything and wait until this moment to fully entrust me, which is also his expectation, right?"

The black-haired wizard tilted his head and looked at the wine in the glass.

"Complaint finished?"

"Endless, I still have a bunch of complaints to talk about, a bunch of boredom and nowhere to complain-why no one told me that fighting the evil gods and the Black Cross is the real mission of the Empire Emperor? Why no one told me about dragons and The agreement of the DeSales family, why does the omniscient father refuse to tell me the truth when he dies? Why ... "

"Why didn't you tell me until now ?!"

Brandon hysterical: "At this time, do I know that this is still useful? !!! Ah! Is it useful?"

"It's all here, what else can I do, what else can I change? Wait to die?"

"Since it's all about waiting for death, why don't you just lie to me and make me happy and happy to die?"

"It's fun to watch me go up and down, ridiculous? How ridiculous?"

Gasping, Brandon stared at the dark-haired wizard with murderous eyes, as if only in this way could express his mood at the moment.

Anyone can deceive himself, anyone can hide from himself, lie, incomplete truth ... Only you, no.

I treat you as a friend ~ www.readwn.com ~ share everything I get with you, then at least you should not lie to me in this kind of thing, do n’t tell me-Brandon ’s eyes convey this Feelings.

"Peter Fasha told me that you should have known it for at least a year ... when you came back from the Dragon King City, you should have known it already." The agitated Brandon suddenly calmed down and became so terrible:

"Loren Turin, you owe me an explanation."

"Explain what?"

"why did not you tell me?"

"Because it's not necessary."

"Isn't it necessary?" Brandon's voice slowed, but the chill was more severe:

"Are you trying to say ... even if I know it will not help, is there no use at all?"

Is it still in your Loren Turin's eyes, I ... Brandon de Salion ... your friend ... the emperor ... not even qualified to know ...? "

Brandon, who gritted his teeth, almost spoke one word at a time with his cannibalistic tone.

"Of course not." Loren shook his head:

"The reason why I said it is unnecessary ... is because this war has nothing to do with the supreme emperor of the Sakran Empire. It is not your enemy, and you will not even have any conflict with it, because you are not at all The same world, so what's the point of telling you? "

"You mean ..."

"Black Cross Serel ... He is my enemy."
