Huang Huo thought for a moment. "Or it should be said that when he promised to take you to Madara, he didn't tell the truth." She frowned slightly. "He has other intentions in mind."
"Thank you, Miss Huang Huo, but I know."
"Mr. Brando, you know?" Huang Huo looked up at him with a hint of doubt in her starry eyes.
"I know his intentions, just as he knows mine. Incirsta is a smart man. He and I are just betting. This man likes to take the unconventional path. As for his deputy, Gustav, he is the exact opposite of him. "
"Betting?"
Brendel stared at the door and continued: "His Majesty seems to know him very well, which is why he arranged such an assistant for him. They are natural partners, but I believe that he will be able to convince Gustav this time."
"I don't quite understand …"
"To put it simply, what they want is the things on me. Or to be more precise, the person behind the door wants these things. And he knows that a few things are on me. He wants to take me to the Realm of Eternal Death and bet that Madara has a way to deal with me. "
"If that's the case, why did Mr. Brando say that? If Mr. Brando has a card up his sleeve, that person shouldn't have agreed so easily, right? "
"Because we're not 100% sure, but I believe that a person who can be recognized by Loki's mercury staff won't not back down on his home ground. Incirsta knows this, and so does Gusta, so he'll definitely convince the one-eyed man."
Huang Huo shook her head disapprovingly. "The ruler of a country should not be so careless, especially according to Mr. Brando, it is the link that maintains the stability and unity of this huge country. How can it allow its subordinates to gamble the fate of a country?"
Brando did not answer this question.
Because there may be many answers to this question, but he did not know how to explain the closest guess to this little girl.
He sighed deeply. "If I'm not wrong, this may be the reason why my country has suffered so much."
When he confirmed with Incirsta the reason why Madara invaded Erouine, he finally understood the problem.
Why would Madara be so fond of Erouine's barren land? Perhaps it was not just because of geography. Madara also had better sea crossings to the left of Kermit Island, and in places like White Mountain, where Order was ruled by eternal darkness, it was more suitable for the undead to advance.
Erouine had a special meaning to Madara, probably because of its own uniqueness. Not only did it have the Orb of Flame and the Halran Gaia, but it also had the Will of the Mountains and Rivers and Cinna, as well as the Azure Lance, Firmament, and the Holy Sword of Light, Somir, which he and Lute saw outside the elemental barrier.
The other party had the Mercury Staff, so it was not impossible for them to know the secret of the Amber Sword. If that emperor's true goal was the same as his, then everything would make sense.
Why would Madara insist on annexing Erouine?
And this was also the basis of his deal with Incirsta.
He knew that Incirsta should at least know that he had the Halran Gaia, and perhaps he also knew that he had the Soul of Oderfeiss. Although this news might be a little outdated, it was enough.
He also got the answer he wanted from the other party's reaction, which confirmed his guess. So the two of them each had their own ulterior motives, but they each knew the other's true intentions.
If Incirsta lured him to the Realm of Eternal Death, set up a perfect ambush, and took those things from him, then the undead would have accomplished half of their goal of invading Erouine without any effort.
Perhaps they could have done it step by step before, but he deliberately showed that he had foresight and an aggressive attitude in front of the other party, just to make the Black Lord wary and misjudge the difficulty of invading this small kingdom.
Now it seemed that he had at least achieved half of his goal.
The rest would depend on the 'travel' in Madara.
Perhaps Erouine's crisis would be resolved, and in the best case scenario, he could still get the Mercury Staff. Even if it was a little worse, there would still be a way to escape. Brando was still very confident in his current strength. For him who had the Element of Time and Space, no one in this world could easily make him stay.
And when he reached the Realm of Eternal Death, at least it would be more convenient to return to Erouine.
Huang Huo saw that his expression was a little strange, and thought that he was thinking of his homeland when he saw the things, so she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Brando, I shouldn't have brought up this topic."
"It's none of your business." Brando shook his head gently.
But his indifference made the little girl feel even more guilty, and she said firmly, "Mr. Brando, if Madara really supports the Chariot Specter, Mr. Liu and I will find a way to persuade His Majesty to ally with you, we have a common enemy."
"It's my pleasure." Brando looked at her with some gratitude. However, he also knew that the alliance between Erouine and the Nine Phoenix was not something that the two of them could decide here. He might be able to represent Valhalla, but although Huang Huo was a princess, she might not even be able to represent the Jade Phoenix royal family, let alone the opinion of the entire Nine Phoenix.
Of course, perhaps after she and Mr. Liu returned to the Nine Phoenix, they could fully utilize their identity and power, but before that, he could not just stare blankly at them.
For now, it seemed that the most important thing was to destroy the offensive of the Second War of the Black Roses.
While the two were talking, the door in front of them suddenly opened without warning, and a skull poked out from inside. The two grayish-white phosphorescent flames in the skull's black eye sockets scared Huang Huo, and even Brando was a little surprised. He thought that when the undead appeared in human territory, they would at least be vampires or black Knight, who looked similar to humans.
The skull did not care about the surprise of the two and said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Incirsta asked the two of you to come in."
There was some disgust in its tone. Just like the natural rejection of the undead by the living, the undead also had a natural hatred of the living.
As it spoke, it opened the door and motioned for Brando and Huang Huo to go in.
Brando nodded.
After entering the door, there was a dark corridor. Brando's eyesight was very good, and he quickly saw the specks of Soul Fire that lit up in the darkness. Each of those Soul Fire belonged to a skeleton. These broad skeletons were all wearing heavy armor and stood on both sides of the aisle like lifeless decorations. He recognized these things as Madara's Crusader Executioners.
These things had almost killed him in Fortress Riedon, but now there were two rows of them standing in this corridor, and he did not feel threatened at all.
Not to mention him, even Huang Huo's expression did not change. As a swordsman with Elemental Awakening strength, these things were not much different from oversized toys to her.
She did not seem to have the natural fear of darkness that ordinary girls had. Her pair of eyes shone in the dark environment, as if she was born for such an environment.
Brando was worried that Huang Huo might not be used to it, but seeing her like this, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The skeleton led the way forward at an unhurried pace, but Brendel did not have the patience. He narrowed his eyes and extended his Darkness Perception outwards.
But he felt that his perception of the environment and magic power had just extended out from the darkness, and he felt that he was being spied on. He was slightly stunned, and then he heard Huang Huo's soft voice.
"Mr. Brando … has a similar ability?"
"What?" Brando was stunned.
"It's Sky's Eye," Huang Huo's voice came from the darkness, "The Heart of the Jade Phoenix teaches us to feel the world with our hearts, so we can tell if others have malicious intentions, or if they are lying to our hearts."
"How did you know that Incirsta was lying?" Brando whispered in surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Brando, do you have such an ability?"
"It's not the same as yours. I can only feel things through the flow of magic power, but it can also make my senses sharper."
After confirming that he was being spied on by Huang Huo's ability, he was relieved. As he described, he extended his perception. However, he was very interested in Phoenix Fire's' Heaven's Eye 'ability. It was very similar to the' Clear Mirror 'from Aouine's White Raven Sword Style, or the' Deep Analysis' that he learned from the Silver Elves.
But it was much more powerful than the latter two. After all, the latter two did not have the ability to distinguish between lies and people's hearts.
He was about to ask about the details of this ability, and see if he could find a way to exchange this ability with Huang Huo. But it was at this moment, Brando suddenly shut his mouth.
He extended his Dark Perception to guard against possible threats. Because even though he said that Incirsta would not play any tricks, who could guarantee that the Dark Lord would not suddenly lose his mind? Naturally, it was better to have as little trouble as possible.
But he did not expect that his extended perception could suddenly penetrate the wall and feel the existence of the room on the other side of the wall. He probably also did not expect Incirsta and Gusta to be so close. Perhaps because the undead were too safe here, they did not seem to have too many precautions and arrangements in the building.
So Brando immediately heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice.
"… Have you thought about the consequences?"
