"What's the matter?" Brando saw her expression, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it, Miss Knight. I've heard of your reputation, so I won't equate you with someone else."
"Miss Delfien volunteered to go, and Lady Veronica didn't know about what happened between her and you. I only noticed it later by accident. I just didn't expect her to be so resolute. In fact, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken any chances with such an important matter. "Laurenna sighed and replied with a little self-blame.
Brando was suddenly curious, "How so, you know what's going on?" He couldn't help but be curious. Anyone who was targeted by a crazy woman for no reason would feel creeped out. In fact, he still felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Delfien's resentful eyes.
It felt as if he had done something unforgivable to her, but for Marsha's sake, there was nothing between him and her. Brando remembered clearly that he had only met her from afar when he was at the front line against the Calamity of Wolves in the Black Forest.
"Actually, it's like this." Laurenna was also a little embarrassed when it came to this matter. She sorted out her thoughts and then told him about Delfien in detail.
"… Although Viscount Elman died at the hands of Andesha, Miss Delfien has always thought that you deliberately left them behind. Plus, she has always been in love with Viscount Elman, which is well known in the empire. The viscount's death was a great blow to Miss Delfien … … "
"This is really an unexpected disaster, Lady Laurenna." Brando smiled bitterly. After listening to this ridiculous story, he suddenly felt a little speechless. This was a disaster from the heavens. If he had known that he would offend such a paranoid lady, he would have carefully sent Viscount Elman out of the country. He would never have given Andesha a chance to take advantage of him.
"I'm sorry, my lord … … Miss Delfien, she … …" Laurenna seemed to want to further plead for the prime minister's daughter. But Brando interrupted her first. "I understand what you mean, Ms. Laurenna. But even so, she shouldn't have attacked innocent people. This isn't revenge, it's just venting her anger. "
He thought for a moment and added, "I will consider your words, but not now. It's better to let that young lady calm down. You don't want her to ruin Lady Veronica's plan, do you? "
Laurenna was startled, and then it occurred to her that this was indeed a possibility. According to Delfien's current mentality, as long as she could get revenge, she wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice the Empire. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but sigh, "I understand."
"Then let's continue." Brando replied, "Since not many people in the empire know about your operation this time, then there shouldn't be many people from Azure Skies, right? May I know how many people you have? "
"This … I'm sorry, this is confidential, Count." Laurenna was a little embarrassed, but she still refused Brando's question.
"It's okay, I was just asking casually." Brando narrowed his eyes. In fact, he could already be sure that the Azure Skies that sneaked into Erouine might only be a small elite group. As mentioned in the information he received, it might be an elite Knight regiment under the Azure Skies. But there was no need to delve into this matter. He asked again, "The letter says that the Holy Cathedral of Fire suspects that the fragments may be with Grand Duke Arreck. Is this true?"
The female Knight nodded and said, "Yes, since entering Erouine, Lady Veronica has received information that matches this speculation. Maybe it was Grand Duke Arreck who colluded with the cultists and demons to steal the fragments of the portal that day. "
"I heard that Grand Duke Arreck and Count Randner have recently formed an alliance, which means that this batch of fragments may have been transported to Magitan?"
"It's possible." Laurenna frowned. "But the news from the Holy Cathedral of Fire indicates that the fragments may not have stayed in Magitan, but moved north."
"Do you have a way to track the location of those fragments?" Brando was stunned. He looked back at the female Knight, thinking that these Cruz people weren't here to make fun of him. If they had the ability to locate those fragments, why would they need him?
But Laurenna's answer immediately answered the question in his heart, "No, it's just some trivial divination and prophecies, my Lord."
Brando then realized, "Then north, where north?" He suddenly asked.
"This … …" The female Knight was speechless. How could she know such a thing? But her naturally serious personality still made her reply, "I'm sorry, I don't know either."
But she didn't expect Brando to interrupt her and say, "It's okay, maybe I know."
He looked back and his eyes fell on the point marked with the name Magitan on the huge map. From here to the north, it was the vast Misty Forest, and further north into Lantonilan. His eyes moved up quickly, the Ansera Forest, the Goldfinch Mountains, the mountains on the north shore of Lake Vallenden —
A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, as if bringing with it a fire seed called wisdom. He suddenly raised his head and realized what these demons, or cultists, or Grand Duke Arreck wanted to do.
To rebuild a portal, first of all, a lot of magic power must be needed.
Preferably an energy core.
The Cruz people had fire gems.
Then what about Grand Duke Arreck?
Brando's gaze finally stopped. There, on the map, was a line of fine text marked in rough font: Falling Needle Hills Avenue.
Falling Needle Hills Avenue, Stained Frost Forest Maze, Heart of the Dragon.
… …
"Your Highness."
As soon as Brando walked out of the hall, he found Princess Gryphine standing outside the porch. The half-elf girl stood by the stone window, looking out at the hills in the direction of the Gars River Beach. After a moment of surprise, he immediately bowed his head and saluted.
The princess turned around. She seemed to have been waiting for him here for a long time. After looking at him quietly, she asked slowly, "Your Excellency, how should we deal with the relationship with the Kirrlutzians next? Are we going to help them this time?"
"This time we must help, Your Highness," Brando answered truthfully.
"Huh?" Princess Gryphine looked back with a little surprise. "Why? I remember you don't like them very much? "
"Actually, I already have some ideas." Felaern followed Brando out of the hall and let Brando take the coat and cloak from her. Brando looked out of the window. The undulating ridge line was covered by a green forest, and above it were snow-like clouds and blue skyline. He looked at the flock of migratory birds flying away and said, "Now is a good opportunity to persuade Grand Duke Viero to join our side."
"If we're lucky," he added, "we might be able to get Grinoires to join us."
Gryphine was not stupid. On the contrary, her wisdom was one of the best among the royal family members of Erouine's generation. Of course, she could understand Brando's meaning, but the girl looked at the cloak in Brando's hand and asked curiously, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
In her memory, although the young man in front of her had become a count, he had never cared about his appearance. If he was not going out, he would rarely wear a coat, let alone a cloak or shawl.
Therefore, she was keenly aware of this from Brando's subtle movements.
Brando did not intend to hide it. He nodded and said, "I suddenly have an idea."
"An idea?"
"Yes," Brando replied, "It seems that Lady Martha is still on our side this time. If all goes well, Princess Magadal will be able to wake up."
Princess Gryphine was stunned for a moment, then her silver eyes revealed a look of extreme joy. She did not even bother to maintain her composure as she blurted out, "Really!?"
"When have I ever lied to you, Your Highness?" Brando was also very happy, as if the problems that had been troubling him for the past few days were all solved in an instant. He had to admit that Duke Arreck and Count Randner had given him a big gift this time.
In fact, he had already discussed it with Bosley and Amandina. To wake Magadal up was easy, but also difficult. The Nun Princess was not human. Her injuries were in fact caused by the destruction of the mana source that drove and maintained her body functions. Aloz herself had also indirectly confirmed this.
To restore the mana source, the easiest way was to replace it with a new one.
There was only one person in the territory who had mastered this technique. Brando had not forgotten that Aloz had put the Titan's Core into his body. However, finding a new mana core was a problem.
But Duke Arreck's current movements immediately gave him an answer.
Because he had been busy participating in and planning Erouine's civil war, he had almost forgotten that he was once a player. The Falling Needle Hills Main Path, the Stained Frost Forest Labyrinth Instance Dungeon, just so happened to have the most suitable mana source.
The Heart of the Dragon.
Duke Arreck obviously went there for this thing, although Brando did not know how this guy knew about the existence of the Heart of the Dragon. But what he had to do now was obviously to find this treasure before the other party.
Also, if those idiots really did build a portal there, he would not hesitate to destroy it. This way, not only would he be able to complete Veronica's mission, but he would also be able to clear up a lot of things here. For Brando, there was nothing more practical than this gift.
Seeing the confident look on his face, Princess Gryphine took a light breath and asked cautiously, "Are you going now?"
"No," Brando shook his head, "Before that, I have to take care of something first."
"What is it?"
Brando grinned and replied, "Private matter."
