Brando could have asked Blanche, but he didn't choose to do so. Although he didn't know why the vice-marshal was here, he could tell from his attitude towards the Lord that he had some feelings for this place.
He felt that if he were to ask, the other party might give him the real answer. However, that would seem like a betrayal to the Rosaleen family. Perhaps the other party would not be calculative on account of his grandfather, but Lin Li did not want to owe the other party a favor.
Besides, he didn't think that he wouldn't be able to 'convince' the Lord who didn't seem like a tough nut to crack.
"I heard what you said just now, Lord," Brendel reminded him.
"What … What did I say?"
"You intend to let your Knight attack Phoenix Huo. As a Lord, you won't be calculative with a little girl over such a small matter, right?"
"This …"
"Alright, Lord, I want to hear the truth. You don't have to worry about anyone finding trouble for you. With me here, no one will dare to attack you."
Indeed, it's here. The Rosaleen Lord couldn't help but laugh bitterly. If possible, he was willing to believe that this young man had the ability, but he obviously couldn't stay in the Swift Plains forever. He could protect himself for a while, but could he protect the Rosaleen family forever?
But he knew that he had to make a choice. It depended on whether the Rosaleen family would be finished now or after this incident.
The latter might still have a chance to turn things around, but it would inevitably be like drinking poison to quench one's thirst.
Brando obviously understood the hesitation in the Rosaleen Lord's heart. Just as he was about to add more to shake the Lord's resolve, Phoenix Huo suddenly spoke.
"My Lord, the Ghost Chariot isn't your only choice. In the history of the Nine Phoenix, they are just a bunch of losers. The Nine Phoenix welcomes all law-abiding people, and the Rosaleen family doesn't have to stay in the Swift Plains."
The little girl, who had always been taciturn and courteous, spoke to the Lord of Rosaleen and everyone present with a serious expression.
"My Lord, your family has left Swift Plains for decades. Why don't you choose a brighter path instead of staying here with the Anomalies? Be it for the sake of your family or your people. Are you not willing to see the Rosaleen family prosper in your hands?"
"This …" Lord Rosaleen was completely dumbfounded. He was still unsure of this little girl's true identity. Although Ghost Chariot's people had told him that she was a direct descendant of the jade phoenix bloodline of the Nine Phoenix royal family, there were many direct descendants of the jade phoenix bloodline, and very few people could say such a thing.
Moreover, she was just a little girl. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for her to be the Nine Phoenix Crown Princess. If she was really the Nine Phoenix Crown Princess, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Huang Huo even if he had a hundred guts.
It was a pity that Lord Rosaleen didn't expect Huang Huo's identity to be much nobler than he had imagined. In the Nine Phoenix Kingdom, the position of the Crown Princess wasn't fixed, but there were only a few Jade Phoenix Mages' descendants in history.
The former only required qualifications, while the latter required a special bloodline.
"Trust her. She can be responsible for her words," Brando said to him.
However, he also looked at Huang Huo strangely. Of course, he could tell that the mountain of flesh in front of him was tempted. The little girl's words seemed to have scratched the itch in his heart at the right time.
The Lord was already wavering, and it was only a matter of time before he changed sides.
In fact, Huang Huo didn't promise much, and she didn't make any promises. Brando didn't expect this little girl, who looked a little silly and innocent, to be able to say such rigorous and watertight words with a straight face.
He walked to her side. Huang Huo bowed slightly to him and explained softly, "Mr. Brando, you don't have to be surprised. After all, Huang Huo is also a member of the Nine Phoenix Royal Family. I will also learn what my brothers and sisters want to learn."
"No," Brando replied, "but you are only ten years old, right?"
"In the Nine Phoenix, Huang Huo has always been a little smarter than the others." The little girl smiled and replied cheekily, "But in front of Mr. Brando, she is far inferior."
Brando looked at her with some surprise. He seemed to have guessed something from her words, "You want to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Huang Huo shook her head, "After watching the battle between you and that person, Huang Huo understood that it is impossible for Huang Huo to go too far on the path of swordsmanship."
Hearing what she said, Brando's eyes flashed with a strange light, "You can see that too?"
"I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I have this idea in my heart."
Brando couldn't help but gasp. This little girl's talent was too terrifying. She could even sense such things with her intuition. It was simply incredible.
He once thought that it was ridiculous enough that he had the system, but compared to this little girl, it seemed to be nothing.
After all, the system could only help him in terms of absolute strength. After reaching the supreme state, the only thing left to help him was to digitize this world.
However, Huang Huo's talent could help her continue on this path. She might be slower than him at the beginning, but after reaching a certain level, she would be well-prepared. She might even break through all the way to the true perfect body.
Why is there such a person in this world?
Brando couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart. Huang Huo didn't belong to this era. Her era obviously wouldn't come until she fully grew up. In The Amber Sword, that should be at least after the Year of the Starfire. When she started on this path, wouldn't it be after the twilight of the game?
Then how many people like Huang Huo were there in this world?
Was she still a mortal?
Brando frowned as he looked at Huang Huo. He vaguely saw something in her. If her potential represented the future of the Iron Folk, then perhaps Martha's plan was not impossible.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why he was thrown into this place after passing through the space-time rift, and why he suddenly met these people and a somewhat strange little girl like Huang Huo.
Perhaps this was not a coincidence.
"Actually, I'm not a swordsman, Huang Huo." Just when Huang Huo was a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Brando suddenly let out a long breath and said, "I'm a warrior."
"Mr. Brando is not a swordsman?" Huang Huo asked with some surprise, "But Mr. Brando's sword is obviously the ultimate sword?"
"It's not that a warrior can't use a sword, but it's not only the Sword Saint who uses a sword," Brendel replied: "Swordsmen always rely on their swords, but as a warrior, you can only rely on your own heart that has experienced hundreds of battles. That is a path that is carved out from the slaughter of beasts. Without experiencing hundreds of deaths, you will never understand it."
"Teacher, Huang Huo is willing to learn the way of the warrior." Huang Huo's eyes lit up slightly. Nirvana after a hundred deaths, isn't this the way of the Jade Phoenix? She had a faint premonition in her heart, as if this was the path that belonged to her.
Brando did not answer her directly. He just smiled and patted her on the head, "I can't always stay in Nine Phoenix. Huang Huo, as the successor of the Jade Phoenix, you can't go to Erouine with me. On the way to Green Jade Hill, let's see how much you can learn."
Huang Huo shook her head and respectfully bowed to him as a disciple. She said, "Once a teacher, always a father. I don't dare to go against this principle."
Everyone liked obedient students, and Brando was naturally the same. He was very satisfied with Huang Huo's attitude. At this moment, he could not help but think of Haruz, who was far away in Erouine. Both of his students could be said to be excellent, but it was a pity that he was not a wizard. He and the little prince were teacher and student in name, but they were not teachers and students. In fact, when he returned to Erouine, he planned to let Senior teach the little prince.
In terms of familiarity with black magic, Senior was one of the best in the whole of Erouine, even though she was only an Elementalist in her previous life.
While Brando and Huang Huo were talking, Lord Rosaleen, who was standing in the middle of the street, made up his mind. Just like what Brando had seen, he was indeed moved at the first moment. Even though he was not excellent enough, he was like the ancestors of the Rosaleen family. There was not a moment when he did not want to restore the glory of his family.
Why did he want to cooperate with the Ghost Chariot? He had no choice but to go to Swift Plains to seek refuge. Otherwise, he could have just handed over the Mystery of the Jade to the Ghost Chariot, but he did not. In fact, in the depths of his heart, he might have wanted to restore the glory of the Rosaleen family to its most glorious era. Even though he did not have the ability, he coincidentally knew a secret that the previous masters of the family had never discovered.
The Rosaleen family only lacked an opportunity, and now, this opportunity had appeared in front of him.
What was Swift Plains? What was the Ghost Chariot? Although the overlords of the Swift Plains claimed that they didn't care about the Nine Phoenix, everyone knew that it was because they knew that the Nine Phoenix wouldn't come to such a desolate place.
If there was an opportunity, who would not want to develop in the Nine Phoenix?
It was the same for the Rosaleen family.
The only thing that he was hesitant about was whether the little girl's words were trustworthy, but he got the answer from Brando's eyes. In the end, this guard captain did not abandon the Rosaleen family. He could not help but feel touched. Perhaps Brando was really staying here because of his father's kindness, but it was not the first time that he had doubts about him.
It was a pity that this kind of repayment ended here. He could not help but feel that it was a pity.
Thinking of this, the Lord lifted his head and said to Brando, who was not far away, "My Lord, it's the Ghost Chariot. It's the people from the Ghost Chariot who are manipulating everything behind the scenes. Their target is Miss Huang Huo."
Brando smiled and turned his head back from his conversation with Huang Huo. He had no experience with this, as he had already expected it. He looked at the Lord and said, "I'm not familiar with the Ghost Chariot.
But I'm sure you've had dealings with them before. If I'm not wrong, they wouldn't just send you to die as cannon fodder, right? "
The Rosaleen Lord's face turned red, but humans were strange. He was not angry at Brando's mockery. Instead, he resented the Ghost Chariot. If not for these fellows not telling him anything and letting him come here to kick an iron plate, would the Rosaleen family be in such a dilemma?
In his opinion, those fellows were clearly treating him as cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel indignant. He nodded and said, "Mr. Brando is right. The people from the Ghost Chariot asked me to delay you. Their people seem to have gone to the dock. Now that I think about it, they knew that my people couldn't stop you, so they probably planned to ambush you there. "
Since he already had such a thought, the Lord did not hold back and directly told him about the Ghost Chariot's plan. Of course, he did not know what the Ghost Chariot's plan was, but they were moving around in his territory, so he knew where they went.
But he had actually wronged Fang Qi and the others. No matter how smart the Ghost Chariot was, it was impossible for them to guess Brando's strength out of thin air. In Delfien's memory, Fang Qi had seen him fighting with the supreme masters of Cruz's people. Unfortunately, as a normal person, the daughter of the prime minister could not remember every detail of the battle at that time.
More importantly, the memories of mortals would never leave the existence of miracles, so Delfien did not leave any memories of Archangel Eroma in her subconscious.
So, in the eyes of the Ghost Chariot and the others, Brando was at most an expert with the strength of an eternal end. According to Wohnde's grading system, it was the level of the Elemental Truth to the peak of the law. Based on his age, it might be even lower.
So, they wishfully thought that Lord Rosaleen and his Knight, as well as the guard captain who might have some strength, should have no problem delaying Brando and the others. Even if they could not defeat them, it would be enough to delay them.
Their real target was actually Mr. Liu, who was heading to the port area.
This guard of the Nine Phoenix royal family naturally made them extremely wary.
After hearing the Lord of Rosaleen's description, Brendel instantly understood the other party's thoughts. He did not know how strong the Ghost Chariot was in Rosaleen, but since the guy named Fang Qi was also here, it should not be too bad.
He immediately frowned, feeling that Mr. Liu's current situation might not be too good.
However, the people from the Ghost Chariot should have set off for some time. Even if Mr. Liu was in trouble, it would have been a while. Even if he and Huang Huo rushed over, it would be useless.
Maybe the other party would even ambush them there.
"My lord, do you have a topographic map of the port area in your castle?" Brendel's eyes brightened when he thought about the ambush. "My lord, do you have a map of the port area in your castle?"
The latter immediately understood what he meant and quickly said, "Of course there is. In fact, there is a secret passage in the city that leads to the port area without being noticed by everyone." At this point, he added a little embarrassedly, "That was the escape route left behind by our ancestors when they built the castle …"
"Very good. Now it's our turn to ambush them." Brando replied with satisfaction. Although he had taken Huang Huo as his student, he could not always play hide-and-seek with the people from the Ghost Chariot. If he could get rid of these guys once and for all, he did not mind helping Huang Huo and Mr. Liu.
Moreover, adding some trouble to Madara's plan in the East was also beneficial to his physical and mental health.
