Watching Phoenix Huo walk up to the second floor, Adney finally made up her mind and turned around.
"That … I'm her companion, Boss."
"Captain, don't be like this …" Quill pulled her back and whispered to her, "Be rational, we have to leave this place first."
"Leave?" The female Knight captain stared at the silver ingots on the counter and asked, "Why? It wasn't easy for us to find a clue."
The elf shook his head and whispered into her ear, "Because it will be troublesome later. We can come back at night. Lord Rosaleen has sealed off the port, they can't get out."
"Okay, okay, I heard you. You don't have to get so close." Adney felt her cheeks burning and pushed him away. "Then what do we do next? You decide."
Quill nodded and said to the others in a low voice, "That person has the Sun God's sword. He must have some kind of relationship with the prophecy. And even if he's not that person, we have to find a way to get close to him and get clues from him."
The Knight nodded.
Clearly, they trusted the latter more than they trusted their vice-captain.
…
"Mr. Kasaff … Ahem," Delfien coughed and asked with concern, "You said there was a foreigner among those gentlemen?"
The afternoon sun shone through the trees and landed on the young lady's body. Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. She was so delicate that it made one's heart flutter.
Kasaff couldn't bear to see her like this. He quickly replied, "Those aren't gentlemen, Miss Delfien. You might not know, but they are parasites, villains, robbers, and bandits. I'm afraid those who hang out with them aren't good people. They call that person Mr. Brando. Just listen to that name, it's so vulgar and mediocre. It's obviously an alias. "
A deep light flashed in Delfien's eyes, but it fooled everyone's eyes. She maintained her performance well and said, "Perhaps you're right, Mr. Kasaff."
Kasav felt as if he had drunk a spoonful of ice water on a hot summer day. His entire body felt light as a feather, and he was about to continue the conversation. However, the leader of the guards beside him reminded him, reminding him that he was not here to please the lady. Instead, he had other important matters to attend to.
However, just as he opened his mouth, he was stuck again. He looked awkwardly at Delfien and then at Boban. Only a few people in Rosaleen knew about the cooperation between the Lord and the Ghost Chariot. He did not know if this lady knew about the inside story.
Lord Rosaleen was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was about to say something, but Delphine was very sharp. She coughed softly and immediately replied softly, "My Lord, please allow me to return to my room to rest."
Seeing Delfien's back being supported by the maid, Kasav looked at his Lord and could not help but compliment, "What a smart lady —"
"It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart, but Miss Delphine is an exception." Lord Rosaleen chuckled, and said rather proudly, "She's really a fairy-like woman. Only with the help of such a woman behind a man's back can he succeed."
Kasav could not help but look in that direction with jealousy.
That fairy-like woman had already disappeared from the courtyard.
Only Boban still had a deadpan expression on his face, as if he had not seen what had just happened.
After sending the maid away, Delfien carefully closed the door to her room and returned to her desk. She took a few quick breaths, and it seemed that her weakness was not completely faked.
She opened the drawer and took out a notebook. Opening the silver lock, she dipped a quill in ink and wrote a few words on it. Suddenly, she stopped, closed the notebook, and placed it in front of her chest. She was silent for a moment.
The pure and innocent expression on her face had long since faded. She raised her head and stared blankly through the wooden lattice window.
"Elman …"
"Your Majesty …"
"Should I do this …"
…
In a single room on the second floor of the Storm Shadow near the square, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat quiet.
Huang Huo leaned against the window and looked at the two people sitting at the table. Then, she looked in the direction of the harbor. After a while, she saw a group of guards appear in the square. Then, a Knight riding a wingless dragon was mobilized from all directions of the square.
She suddenly realized that the way she had handled the problem might have caused trouble for Mr. Brando. She could not help but show an apologetic expression.
"Mr. Brando."
"Don't worry, Huang Huo." Although Brando was not by the window, he had already noticed the situation outside. "You don't have to worry about them."
Huang Huo held her sword and nodded.
Incirsta sat in his seat and looked at the two people calmly.
"My Lord, you should know that I was born in Cosman. When I was 20 years old, I accepted the family ritual because of my outstanding talent. I am the purest kind of Dark Noble. Before I was born, my family had been fighting with the monsters for decades, until the mercury staff appeared — "
Brando listened in silence.
Compared to the collusion between Madara and the Chariot Specter, he was indeed more concerned about the war between the Undead and the Crystal revealed from Mr. Liu and Xin Jian's words.
What was the Calamity of Starfall 70 years ago? What was the connection with the fall of the Black Moon three days ago? Why did he not know about the century-long war between the Undead and the Crystal in the south of Madara in the game?
The Undead were aggressive in their attack on the civilized world, but it concealed their defeat in the south of the Sea of the Dead Moon. Did the Supreme One with the mercury staff know about all this?
He did not care about the grudge between the Jade Phoenix and the Chariot Specter, nor did he care about the Undead's arrangement in the east. He was only interested in the entanglement between them and the Dusk.
It was as if he had inherited a keen sense of smell from the game, which made him feel that there might be something he wanted behind the scenes.
Why did Madara launch an attack on the civilized world?
The Undead were not cultists who did not care about anything. They were not crazy enough to destroy the foundation of civilization and the world order.
Incirsta seemed to have seen through his thoughts at a glance.
He knew that this' person 'had long known that he would be interested in the entanglement between the Crystal and the Undead. He also knew that since he appeared here, he must have heard the relevant rumors.
The Dark Road that had flourished for so many years was suddenly closed, not to mention that the strange monsters had just visited Rosalyn.
"You and I are the same kind of people, Count." Incirsta saw that his expression changed slightly and explained, "I also wanted to know why the mercury staff appeared in this era, but when I saw His Majesty, I understood that all this was inevitable."
Brando was silent.
But when he raised his head again, he seemed to have figured out something.
"The Earth Legion has already failed, right?"
Incirsta looked as if he was stuck in a shell, or as if his neck was being grabbed. He looked at him with his mouth wide open. Deep in the eyes of the young Dark Knight, there was a flash of fear for the first time.
Brando did not care about him. In his thoughts, the scattered pearls on the ground were connected by an invisible line, forming a complete reality.
He had never been so sharp before, but ever since that dream, everything seemed to have changed.
A thousand years ago, at the end of the War of the Holy Saints, the Darkness Dragon sealed the core area of Wohnde, and at the edge of the world, the war never stopped. The Miirnas sent their most powerful legion (*) to the various borders of the world, but left the weakest heartland areas to face the uprising of the mortals. Just like that, a thousand years passed.
The last legacy left by the Truth Parliament was also gone.
In the ignorance of the mortals, the Earth Legion, which had lost the support of the Empire, finally failed. The power of the Twilight Dragon had long awakened, and the Roman was only the final countdown for its arrival in this world.
"When did the Undead first see the Crystal? What year was it?"
"… Seventy-seven years ago, Robur's Death Lord arrived at an ancient battlefield in the process of expanding southward. They recovered the mercury staff from there …"
"… Not long after that, there was the Starfall Disaster. That Starfall Disaster could only be seen in the south of Madara and the Nine Phoenix area. Not long after, cracks appeared at the border of the Black Forest, and the strange monsters began to invade our world. "
"Even if you have the mercury staff, you can't resist them?"
"Too many … Very few people know that Madara has lost half of its southern border."
"So you want to migrate west and north, invade Erouine and Saint-ausol, and even the entire civilized world?" Brando asked, his voice was a little serious. "As the people of Martha, why didn't you warn us?"
"Because you are humans, and we are Undead," Incirsta replied. "And we are not just running away."
"Because of Erouine?"
Incirsta stared at him, and for the second time, he was stuck.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth. "This time, it's you who makes me feel afraid, my Lord …"

(PS: I wanted to recommend this two days ago, but I kept updating it too late, so I forgot. Lord Sovann AO is back writing again, and I believe that some of you must still remember his "Wizard's Story". This is my DM, and his things are definitely more reliable. So I recommend his new book, "Twenty Sided Dice", book number: 3559491. My friends who are out of books can go and take a look.)
