Wizard From Afar

The silence lasted for a long time.

Brandon froze in place with his hands on the table, his bright eyes staring motionlessly at the black hair wizard, staring at Loren Torino who seemed to have suddenly become unknown.

"Your enemy?"

His Majesty's expression is the same as his mood at the moment, complicated and messy: "How do you know...no...listen to your tone, like me I shouldn’t bother."

"If I don’t make such a big noise, would I not even have the qualifications to know it?"

It looks like I am mocking myself, but also like I am sarcastic. , Brandon's face was gloomy.

"No, you will definitely know." Loren shook his head: "After everything is over, you will know the truth of everything."

"After everything is over?!" Brandon raised his voice, his eyes widened:

"That's enough, isn't it?!"

Black hair wizard sighed, facing Brandon trying to kill but desperately Holding back his gaze, helplessly opened the mouth and said: "Your Majesty, how much do you know about the Black Duke?"

"Don't divert the topic, is there a connection between the two?!"

"Yes!"

Looking at Loren's finally serious expression, Brandon raised his brows, turned his head and back to Loren angrily, and sat down: "Roland Torino...I'm not that much. Understand this person."

"Charlotte Desalion, where is the Queen of the Dragon?"

"She is my great-grandmother. Consider my age. Do you think I have Have you ever seen her?!"

"What about grandfather, have you ever heard a story about the Queen of Mad Dragon from your grandfather?"

"What the hell do you want to say? !"

Brandon exploded again.

"I want to say that if you know about the Queen of Mad Dragon and the Black Duke, you should understand why I haven't mentioned it to you." Loren who face doesn't change speaks slowly. :

"Roland Torino, the famous black duke, conquered the centaur tribe, conquered the dwarf kingdom, conquered the imperial rebels, went north to defend the fortress of Duanjieshan, and fought against the invading monsters, and won glorious victories. ......"

"This man who personally forged Byrne's glory, his deeds in the second half of his life was unpredictable, becoming more and more weird, and more and more gaping in the heart of His Majesty Charlotte I... …"

" Later, when I refused your Majesty’s proposal, I was found the mark of Evil God, the apostate of the become Saint’s Cross. Willing to follow him..."

"Finally, he appeared when Charlotte was about to lose the battle. With strength of oneself, he turned things around, ended the invasion of monsters, and disappeared into the wilderness of the back ice field..."

"No one knows what happened to him."

Brandon, with his back to the black hair wizard, lowered his head and said nothing.

Although it was explaining to Brandon, the black hair wizard himself seemed to understand something.

If you guessed correctly, the situation Roland Torino faced back then may be even more difficult than he himself-he desperately sought the traces of the Black Cross and the fallen Evil Gods, and on the one hand, he had to deal with Pressure from both sides of Byrne and the Sky Palace.

Because of the increasingly powerful and ambitious Knights who have become more powerful with him in the battle; feeling the threat from the south, they have begun to desperately suppress him and add to his imperial nobles.

As the betrayal left, Roland chose to take a stake all on one throw northward. After a fiasco, he returned with his dying body, and destroyed the army of monsters that had invaded the empire with the last trace of strength.

"Why didn't Roland tell Charlotte the truth? Why didn't he let the Knights understand that all he did was to save this world? Why..." Loren asked, as if he was Talking to himself:

"Because...this is not something they need to know."

"If he wins, no one needs to know what happened, everything will be back On the right track-Roland Torino, who has turned the tide, probably plans to return the time to when he first met Queen Charlotte and let everything start again, right?"

Brandon of gloomy face did not Speaking, he already knew something about the Void and Evil God from Peter Fasa.

"If he fails, then he failed... Everything will be controlled by Black Cross Seror, even if he tells Charlotte, it will be powerless."

"But he just failed!"

"He didn't fail, he just didn't succeed."

The black hair wizard shook his head and said word by word: "If he fails , Then we don’t even have the qualifications to sit here and discuss him-the Black Cross Seror will become the god who truly controls everything, even if the world becomes another look in an instant, we won’t notice it, we will as it should be by Rights think this is what it should look like."

Brandon remained silent.

"That's why I refuse to tell you, Brandon, this is not your war." Staring at his back, the black hair wizard whispered:

"He...Serel, what I want is me; to be more precise, it is the nine-pointed star holy grail on my body-two holy grails. As long as he has one of them, he can't really control the entire world."

"Then why not just destroy the Holy Grail, so that he won't..."

The startled Brandon's voice was interrupted before he finished speaking, and looked towards behind him. : "Can't it be destroyed?"

Loren shrugged.

"The two nine-pointed star holy grails are the key and connection between the void and the real world. They are not really'existing' things." Loren explained:

" Lor has returned from the void to the material world, but he has no power-he is probably looking for another holy grail now. As long as one is still short, he will not be able to achieve his goal and devour the entire world."

"So why don't you just hide with the Holy Grail...ah, you can't hide?"

"Serel...he can detect all the void reactions in the world at a time." Loren nodded "It’s still a little bit possible face to face, hiding is meaningless."

"Rogan in a hat, Black Duke Roland...In the hundreds of years after the destruction of the giant dragon kingdom, generation after generation A generation of people stood up and confronted Black Cross Seror alone; are they crazy? No, they are sober, they know that the probability of success is minimal, but they did it anyway."

"It has nothing to do with ability, without status, bloodline...just because this is what they should do, so they did it, nothing more."

"So you don't have to be angry, because all this is from the The very beginning has nothing to do with you-defeating the Azores, you have done enough."

The voice fell, Loren said no more.

He knows that this is not enough to convince Brandon, but it is enough to let him understand the situation-the battle of Eboden has just ended, the strength of the empire has been weakened to the extreme, and there is no ability to organize immediately. An army was dispatched immediately to attack an enemy who might not even be sure where it was.

The rest, only Charlotte and...

"...every Desa Leone, at the moment he was born, at the moment he or she was crowned the Supreme Emperor At the moment, you have to make a crucial choice."

"Become by fair means or foul, and do everything possible to extend the empire and family rule to the next generation;"

"It is still the last wish of the giant dragon kingdom to fight against the enemies of this world;"

With a hoarse voice, Brandon suddenly interrupted Loren's thinking: "This is Ai Kerhart II...I, father...tell Peter Fasar the secret before he died."

"Every Imperial Capital has faced this problem, and the overwhelming majority chose the first one. Very few chose the second one, such as the "sage" Brandon I. My wonderful great-grandmother Charlotte I thought she could not do this multiple-choice question. Both hands were hard."

"The result... we have all seen it. She left a very weak celestial palace. It took my grandfather a whole life to make up for her mistakes. According to you, if the Black Duke hadn't sacrificed herself, she probably still To lose another war."

Brandon sighed.

"And my father, Eckhart Desalion, guess what... he wants to do the same thing as Charlotte, but not the same."

"My father's age is considered older among his brother sisters, so he must have seen the Queen of Mad Dragon, and how the queen who was so powerful when she was young and who lost everything in the end was like dust.

So he learned well, learned smart; he was very careful, very cautious, he knew how to avoid the mistakes made by Charlotte."

Turn around, Bran With a smile at the corner of his mouth, staring bright red eyes, he gestured with Loren's hands in an accented tone.

The black hair wizard knows that this is the attitude he takes to get serious.

"Charlotte failed, why? Because she wants to win two wars by strength of oneself, so she deserves to be unlucky, love, career, inheritance... lose everything; so Eckhart Understand that if you want to win, you can't just count on yourself, but on everyone."

"In the Battle of Duanjieshan, he supported Drexis and a strong veteran Legion; indulging Holy Cross Church, he won the hearts and minds of the people;"

"Indulge in the wizard and Eboden, in exchange for a force that can fight against the old forces and the nobles." stared wide-eyed, Brandon used a very The absurd tone said with a smile:

"You may not have guessed, the rise of the centaur tribe, the civil strife in the dwarf kingdom, the incident of the Azores...Well, yes, he knew it a long time ago. Even the enemies are his pawns, and they are all in his plot against."

"Me, Connold, Fitronay...including you, especially you, Loren · Torino... are all there too. In his plot against!" Brandon’s smile grew stronger and stronger:

"He knows everything you have done...everything; he even knows that you are not a'Torino' at all. You are just a small entourage picked up by Leonardo Torino in the Lothar forest. You used Torino’s surname as an impostor."

"no! It’s not an imposter, because Leonardo is not at all. Without a grandson, his only heir died while in Arles. You are a genuine fake Torino!"

"He even..." Here, Brandon paused deliberately. Looking at Loren’s expression very playfully:

"I even know that you once met and met an Evil God in Wild Dog Village, met, that Evil God named...Asriel, and at least appeared next to you afterwards. Twice."

The black hair wizard's expression changed slightly.

It's not because of how surprised...Brandon is not a wizard. Although his void response is weak, it also exposes his thoughts in front of Loren.

If this is the case, then it means that the Desalion family has always known the truth, and Eckhart Desalion...

" From that moment on, the emperor has been making arrangements, so that one day, he will achieve his great cause or...the Queen of the Dragon, Charlotte I, the unfinished great cause."

Brandon’s The voice faintly sounded:

"For this goal, everyone...everything...empire...is just his pawn, even his own life and death are in his plan."

"This man personally planned his own death, in order to...make his plan perfect-even if he is destined to be out of sight, he will continue to manipulate the entire chessboard until this moment."

"Do you understand what I mean, Loren, do you understand what I mean... You, me, and hundreds of thousands of people outside are all living in his mind, all living for his ambitions, for Living with the ambition of a dead man..."

"Wait! Brandon."

Loren interrupted him with a chuckle: "That's a bit too much--I I know that you have a bad relationship with your father, but if this plan is useful, why..."

"No, you still don't understand!"

Suddenly turned around Langdon, looking at each other with Loren, with irritability in their eyes:

"Loren ·Torino...do you really don't understand, or are you pretending to be stupid with me?!"

"I say it again-my father, Eckhardt II, the supreme emperor of the Twelfth generation, went crazy to complete the failed great cause of the Mad Queen and the Black Duke."

"For this Goal, he used everyone, including you and me, and his own life;"

"But he did not intend to rely on his own hands, or even intend to be able to see the success of his plan with his own eyes. One day comes; he wild ambition, let us act according to his plan from the moment he died...to this moment."

"Understand...Your choice is not your choice, It was planned by this guy to let you die, and I became the fool who didn’t know anything, extending Desalion’s bloodline to the next generation;"

" Understand, fool?!" Brandon growled heartbreakingly.

But Loren was very quiet, even as if he didn’t even know it was like this: "But isn’t that what you expected—become the emperor of the empire and continue the bloodline of Dessa Leon To the next generation?"

"Yes! But definitely not according to his idea, never according to his meaning...this is my idea, it should be done in my way, not someone else's, even if It’s not like another Desa Leone!"

Brandon said coldly: "And in my experience, if it’s the game set by my omnipotent father, then there must be what he asked for. ...Not only to continue the bloodline to save the world, there must be something else he wants."

"So...Loren Torino, we need a plan."

" A new plan."
