In the month of the Astrologers, the beginning of each year was called the Month of the Winter Harp. The Winter Harp ruled a person's charm, so January was the Month of Socializing. Most of the banquets and winter hunts were held in this month.
June was called the Month of Hazy Summer. Hazy referred to the moonlight of a summer night. It was the day when the magic of Wohnde recovered from the Summer Slumber. Therefore, the activities of the wizards became more frequent after this month. Both the living and the dead wizards.
But in July, the Month of Flowing Fire, the day when the sun walked on the earth. The Sun God Perkin was in charge of power, so this month was the Month of Power. In the far east, the Orcs held their biggest celebration, the Festival of Flames.
Similarly, for the kingdom under the protection of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, this was a crucial month. Erouine's annual ceremony, the Festival of Flames, should have started early this month. But in the Grinoires region, the farmers, nobles, and high-ranking officials were not in the mood to celebrate because of the continuous war since the end of May.
But it seemed that the situation had taken a turn for the better. There were rumors in the countryside that the army formed by the terrible monsters in the south had stopped at Dragos and no longer moved north. Then there were rumors that the Silver-winged Cavalry had won two battles at the frontlines and collected many war flags.
But there were also rumors that they had defeated the Silver-winged Cavalry. In short, there were all kinds of rumors in the rear, making it difficult to distinguish between the truth and the lies. But thankfully, the people of the countryside were always willing to believe in the good things. Fortunately, Count Nakin of Braggs Castle was wise and mighty. Everyone praised him for this.
On the seventh day, Incirsta's army turned to Randner, and the countryside of Grinoires calmed down once again.
It was said that some people saw the end of the war because July was the day when the sun walked on the earth. The undead would burn as soon as they touched the ground, and the kingdom would naturally turn to counterattack.
No one knew where this rumor came from, but it spread widely in the region in just a few days.
Brando was sitting at a wooden table, listening to the conversation between a few farmers not far away. It had been two days since he and the others left Ankeze and headed towards Braggs along the main road. The frontline was gradually becoming less tense, and the number of undead was decreasing. At least the farmers were right about one thing — the war was coming to an end.
Marden brought the villagers of Bucce to Ankeze, and when the news of the fall of Bucce reached Fort Vermeer, he naturally became a hero. Even Bucce's guards and militia were able to bask in the limelight. Freya and Romaine were both on the list of commendations, but this was just the tip of the iceberg. Brendel knew that the main event had yet to come.
After the war ended, the kingdom needed to create heroes. This was the best way to encourage the people. Wars were always about you fighting your own battles and me fighting my own battles. It didn't matter if you won or lost. As long as there was a bunch of flowers, that was enough.
However, when they arrived at Ankeze, Marden and his men had already been sent to Bruglas. The nobles were in a hurry to reap practical benefits. The guards and the militia needed practical rewards, while the nobles only needed to maintain the reputation of being a capable commander. There was no conflict between the two.
Although Brando already knew that this title would eventually fall on the head of the White Mane Army, Count Pula, when he thought about it in detail, it was nothing more than the infighting between the local nobles and the local army.
However, there were two pieces of news that were out of Brando's expectations.
The first was that Bucce's guards were not completely wiped out. He heard that Bretton and his two deputies were still alive. When Brando thought of that hateful guy, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
However, no matter what, as someone who had gone through thick and thin together, he faintly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
The other piece of news was more meaningful. That was that the 'Tiger' Luc Beson was actually not dead. When Brando confirmed this piece of news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was neither worried nor relieved, but there was an inexplicable feeling of loss and gain.
Did history change because of him?
"Damn it, these idiots! It was only Madara who changed the original intention of the attack. What does it have to do with those cowardly nobles? These people don't even know anything. Brando, who is Count Nakin? "
Freya could not help but complain softly. The young man looked up and saw the disdainful look on her face.
Brando could not help but laugh: "Count Nakin is the head of the Dragos Family. This family is named after this place and has a long history. It is not something that ordinary nobles can compare to."
The girl with a long ponytail was stunned when she heard this, and her confidence was halved: "But, but he can't take everyone's credit … …"
"The purpose of those big shots is different from ours. We won't have anything to do with them." Brando smiled: "Besides, you don't have to be angry with these farmers in the countryside. Of course, you look down on those nobles because you know what's in their bones. But these farmers don't know. In their eyes, the nobles are high and mighty, so it's natural for them to think this way. "
Freya was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that she used to be the same. She thought that the people in the city were arrogant and knowledgeable, and the nobles were high and mighty. She could not help but look at the young man across the table. It seemed that after she met Brando, she had grown up little by little and understood a lot more than before.
Those things that used to be unfathomable in her eyes seemed to be normal now. But what led to this change, or was Brando really that amazing?
Brando saw that she was thinking and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, have I changed?"
"People change, Freya. But what's the difference between us?"
"Hmm?" The girl was slightly stunned and looked at him with her light brown eyes.
"Wisdom."
"Wisdom?"
"Wisdom is that you see more than them and understand more. When you see more and understand more, the world will seem more ordinary in your eyes." Brando answered.
"What about you, Brando?" Freya thought for a moment and could not help but ask the question that she had always wanted to ask.
"Compared to you, you can say that. But once you understand more, the world will become more complicated in your eyes. It will make you feel endless fear and trepidation. "The young man thought for a moment and answered.
Freya thought for a moment and slowly shook her head.
Brando laughed: "You will understand." But he immediately saw the merchant girl put her chin on the table and looked at him with a pitiful look. He could not help but lose half of his good temper.
"What are you doing now?" He asked.
"Nothing." The Roman flatly denied.
He was speechless for a moment.
It had to be said that the young lady's jumpy thinking often made the young man unable to continue with his questions. Brando thought for a moment and could only change the topic: "Speaking of which, since yesterday, what have you been writing?"
The Roman's eyes lit up. She sat up and answered: "I've been calculating the price, Brando."
"Price?"
"Because since the end of the month of the New Moon, the price of food in Ankeze has increased by more than 50%. If the war can last until winter, then the merchant girl, Roman, will be able to complete her first business deal. "The future merchant girl answered logically.
The Roman's words surprised both of them. Two days ago, they saw the girl having fun in Ankeze and thought that she was completing her 'adventure'. Who would have thought that she had unknowingly completed her market research.
However, Brando was surprised by the merchant girl's keen senses, while Freya was simply surprised that her good friend had such a serious side to her.
"Then it looks like you won't be able to complete it," Brendel's interest was piqued, and he could not help but reply: "The war will last until the middle of the seventh month. Miss Merchant, your first plan is going to be ruined."
"Really?" The Roman couldn't help but ask.
"Most likely." Brando said in his heart. It should be 100%. However, he wanted to see the merchant girl's expression when she was hit, but he was quickly disappointed.
"Hey, Brando." The Roman blinked her eyes: "I've heard that Braggs has been sending wine and food from Dragos, Ankeze, and Bucce. Isn't that right? Ankeze and Dragos have always been the most important grain-producing areas in the south of Grinoires, right?"
Brando couldn't help but look at the little Roman, thinking that she even knew about this.
"If that's the case, Braggs has a population of 35,000. Since they've entered a state of war, they should have stopped making wine at the end of May, right?"
"If the nobles received the news in advance, I'm afraid it would have started at the beginning of May." Brando couldn't help but think. The signs of war were actually present in many aspects, but most people didn't notice it.
The merchant girl counted with her fingers: "If that's the case, if the war ends in the middle of July, Ankeze wouldn't be able to hold enough wine for two days. I'm afraid that Ankeze won't be able to support two celebrations. If Bruglas wants to concoct wine and food from the north, they will have to pass through the Grey-faced Griffin Mountain Range. If that's the case, I'm afraid the price of wine in this area will be inflated. "
Brando was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Who told you this?"
"My aunt always said that if you ignore the experience of the elderly, you will be punished by the heavens." The Roman looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes and answered seriously: "There's Old John from the Manolan family, Old Master Anton, and the lame Cavan. Roman people are very likable. Some of these old people have been making wine for Braggs for most of their lives. That's right! Brando, do you want the great Roman merchant to introduce you to one of them? They're quite powerful. "
Brando couldn't help but look at the cocky merchant girl. He believed that with her personality, she would be liked by many people. But what was a 'great Roman merchant'?
"So you want to take advantage of the war to make a fortune? That's your plan? "He asked.
The merchant girl nodded like she was pounding garlic.
"Lack of money?"
The merchant girl continued to nod like she was pounding garlic.
"Wait," Freya stood up and frowned: "Brando, don't tell me you want to go crazy with the Roman? We don't have much money left."
"Freya, maybe the little Roman will give us a surprise."
However, Freya did not believe that a pie would fall from the sky.
