The knight was stunned. The people of the Nine Phoenixes were of a higher status even in Rosaleen and Swift Plains, so why would they mix with these scavengers? Even though he knew that Na Xin was half nine-phoenix, he was a fugitive and had nothing to do with the nine-phoenix bloodline.
As for the foreigner, he could not help but take a few more glances at him. Even though the person beside the Lord was also a foreigner, he seemed to be different from this young man.
But as soon as he met Brendel's gaze, he almost fell off the dragon's back. At that moment, he seemed to have an illusion, as if the whole world was spinning and was about to be sucked into the depths of the young man's eyes.
He jumped in fright, thinking that there was something wrong with his body. But at the very least, his eyes no longer dared to wander back and forth between them. He only asked Na Xin loudly:
He asked Na Xin, "These people are all your subordinates?"
Na Xin turned to look at Brendel and the others. He knew that the other party had already noticed Brendel and Mister Liu. He thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, my lords. They are the new subordinates that I recruited for this mission. You know how dangerous the underworld is right now."
The Knight could not help but laugh coldly. "Na Xin, are you crazy? Do you know the consequences of harboring an unknown person into Rosaleen?"
Na Xin's heart skipped a beat. Of course, he knew, but he had his own plans. Previously, they had left a bad impression on Brando, and whether or not they could change this impression depended on this gamble.
He was indeed gambling because if Brando did not accept his kindness, then his fate would be a little worrying.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and licked his lips. "Knight, my lords, I dare not lie to you."
The Knight immediately scolded him. They were not idiots, so how could they let this guy lie with his eyes wide open? However, the leader of the Knight calmed down. He knew the temperament of the vultures on the Underworld very well. They would not act unless they saw a rabbit. These people would not dare to offend the Lord of Rosaleen. Na Xin was so stubborn that he obviously had something to rely on.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look at Brando again. The terrifying experience from before had reminded him to be cautious. He obviously did not expect that his caution at this moment would at least save him a huge trouble.
Just as he was about to ask something, he saw the young man on the other side of the river walk behind Na Xin and gently pat his shoulder.
Xin, on the other hand, was stunned.
He turned to look at Brando and almost thought that he had misheard. "My Lord, what … what did you say?"
"There is no need to hide it. Tell them the truth, but remember not to tell them what happened last night. I will not help you, and I will not offend the Knight for you. If you want to settle them, at least half of the goods in your carriage, do you understand? "
Brando repeated.
Seeing that Na Xin was stunned, he added softly, "Don't be too greedy. This is good for you. You should know that money or your life is more important."
Na Xin pursed his dry lips and nodded in a daze, as if he was thinking about the meaning of Brando's words.
However, at the critical moment, he finally showed the decisiveness of the Underworld's Scavengers. He nodded heavily and said, "I will listen to you, my Lord."
Brando nodded. In fact, he could see that the Rosaleen Knight's purpose was actually the goods in the carriage. The previous question was just an excuse. In the past, if someone bluffed in front of him and used him as an excuse to threaten and blackmail him, he might not be able to resist the urge to teach them a lesson.
Just like what he did in the game.
However, at this time, he calmed down. It was as if after the battle with the Dusk and the meeting with the Roman in the dream, he felt that his mentality had changed.
His way of looking at problems seemed to have changed as well.
In the past, he only wanted to realize his dreams and make up for the regrets of the past. However, at this moment, he felt more of a heavy responsibility.
Just like the words that Andina repeated to him time and time again, he used to think that Amandina was a little too old-fashioned and inflexible. Now that he thought about it, perhaps he was too naive and childish.
There was no freedom in this world, especially for people who changed the fate of others. Recklessness was an irresponsibility because every decision you made was no longer a matter of a single person.
If he did not understand this point, perhaps he would really lose Romaine and everyone else forever.
At this moment, he finally had the spirit of a lord that belonged to Tónigel and Abies.
Just like the night before, he ordered Na Xin and the others to bury the bodies of the monsters. If it was in the past, he would not have bothered to do such a thing.
Because he knew that he was just a passerby and might never return to Rosaleen. Naturally, he did not need to worry about whether his strength would be known and coveted by others.
What kind of player would clean up the scene after killing the monsters?
Even when he broke out of the encirclement in Fortress Riedon, he did not do that.
However, at this moment, the first thing that came to his mind was to be cautious. Only by being cautious could he better protect himself and the people around him.
After receiving the order, Na Xin went to negotiate with the Knights of Rosaleen. Just as Brando expected, these Knights were only interested in the goods of the caravan. When they knew that Na Xin's caravan was attacked by monsters and needed their help, these Knights could not help but smile. They immediately forgot about Brando, Mr. Liu, and Phoenix Huo's identities. After all, Rosaleen had not changed the ban, and they would still have to bear a lot of risk if they were to forcefully attack near the Qiusangze River.
However, now that these smugglers needed their help, it could not be better. As long as the price was agreed, everything was negotiable. If there was no need to fight, no one would be willing to use force. Everyone knew that the scavengers on the dark road were not to be trifled with.
However, compared to the others, the leader of the Knight seemed to be calmer. When he heard that Na Xin and the rest were attacked by monsters last night, Brando noticed that his expression changed. He quickly asked, "You were attacked? How many monsters were there? "
As soon as he asked, the other Knight reacted and looked over, as if they were looking for the corpses of the monsters near the caravan's campsite.
No matter how slow Na Xin was, he could vaguely sense something when he saw this scene. He could not help but secretly look at Brando with admiration. In fact, he and his men did not even think about this problem. They wanted to use the corpses of the monsters as something to brag about.
However, he did not know that Brando was also rejoicing at this moment. It seemed that Rosaleen had indeed been attacked. If he had not buried the corpses, the news of him killing hundreds of monsters alone would have spread throughout the region in the blink of an eye.
He did not know how big of a commotion that would have been.
It was only at this moment that he felt that he had made the right choice to be more cautious.
Na Xin's thoughts flashed through his mind. He quickly repeated the lies that Brando had taught them previously. Although the number of monsters attacking the caravan with seven or eight monsters was a lot, at least it was still within an acceptable range.
However, they did not expect that after Na Xin finished speaking, the Knight's expression became very strange. He could not help but ask, "Seven or eight monsters? Are you sure?"
"Of course," Na Xin replied. "My lords, how could I joke about this matter with you? The corpses of these monsters are still here. I was wondering why there were so many monsters around Rosaleen."
"Many?" The leader of the Knight could not help but sneer. "You're lucky, Camel. You probably don't know that the monsters attacked Rosaleen three days ago. At least a few hundred monsters appeared south of the Qiusangze River. If we had not run fast at that time, you wouldn't be seeing us now."
"It's good that I don't see you." Na Xin could not help but curse, but he did not dare to say this out loud. He only said in surprise, "What did you say? The monsters attacked Rosaleen? How is that possible? Don't they never cross the river?"
At this point, he could not help but look at Brando. This lord had guessed correctly again. Last night, he had told them that Rosaleen might have been attacked by the monsters, but they did not dare to believe it at that time.
This was because sometimes, habitual thinking was so scary.
Brando's expression was normal. He only turned around and exchanged glances with Mister Liu, who was not far away. In fact, he was not the only one who had guessed that Rosaleen might have been attacked. Mister Liu was the same. However, he knew even more clearly why such a thing had happened. The Twilight Dragon was not completely sealed by Miss Tata and the other two. Just as Bai had said, its will was trying to penetrate this world through the world's crystal wall. The Twilight monsters that were the vanguard would continuously arrive in Wohnde and attack the civilized world.
In fact, from this moment on, the Twilight War of the Sixth Era had begun.
The leading Knight was telling Na Xin about what had happened to Rosaleen during this period of time. However, his tone soon became a little strange, as if he had just realized something.
"Wait, damned camel, did you just say that you were attacked by seven or eight monsters?"
"Of course, didn't I say that before?" Na Xin was a little puzzled. He did not understand why the other party was bringing up the past.
However, the Knight looked at him fiercely and said, "Damn it, how dare you joke with me. Your convoy was attacked by seven or eight monsters. Do you think you can live to see the next day?"
Na Xin could not help but be stunned.
He suddenly realized that it was true. He and his subordinates seemed to have subconsciously accepted the fact that the young man had killed hundreds of monsters with a single sword strike. They had subconsciously forgotten that even if it was just one monster, it would be extremely difficult for them to fight against it.
He seemed to have only just realized that even if it was just one monster, it should have the strength of a Gold rank.
Then this young man …
Who exactly was he?
Na Xin seemed to be stumped by the question. He could not help but turn around and look at Brando with a strange expression.

(PS: Today in the group, I wrote a little drama about Haruze's welfare. Let's put it after the main text. I originally wanted to put it in the acceptance speech, but I realized that the acceptance speech was limited to 500 words. As for the cute boy or whatever, that was definitely not my intention. Of course, don't privately message me to ask for a book or anything, because I am a person with healthy thoughts and moral integrity.)
… …
His sparkling skin exuded a delicate luster under the moonlight. This was a well-proportioned body. His slender waist and snow-white shoulders seemed to be unable to bear the frailty, hidden under the languid silk satin and complicated lace.
Haruze was like an angel, his back facing the light shining down from the rose window, falling on the delicate tips of his ears and fine, smooth collarbone. His long eyelashes trembled slightly like a frightened little beast, hanging with morning dew and teardrops. The little prince's face seemed to be dripping blood. He bit his pale lower lip and slowly lifted the luxurious and exquisite edge of the princess's long dress with both hands.
The edge of the dress slowly rose, revealing a pair of slender and slender legs, the color of mutton fat. The rose embroidered on the edge of the stockings like white jade exuded a mysterious color in the darkness, as if the mistress of the manor was waiting for her most distinguished guest.
The uniform and soft fat outlined the perfect curve all the way up, revealing the most charming scene between the stockings and the bottom of the dress. It flashed by and was enough to make people feel sorry.
But when he looked past her ankles that were as delicate as a work of art, he saw her snow-white feet stepping on a pair of black round-toed leather shoes. The shiny toe of the shoes reflected the majesty of the rose arch window. There was a serene lily nailed to the belt, and the star-like flower buds were blooming under the moonlight.
Her toes were clasped tightly, and a pink color appeared on the instep, reflecting the uneasiness in her master's heart.
"T … teacher, is … is this okay? I … can't breathe."
The little prince's voice trembled slightly, mixed with the sound of small gasps.
"The belt is too tight." Brando commented with a professional eye, shaking his head and sighing, "And, Haruze, this is just a simple cross-dressing. Is there a need to be nervous as if I'm going to do something to you?"
"… I'm sorry, teacher."
