Chapter 990
When the dim light entered the eye sockets, Loren and the little wizard realized that they had reached the exit of the cave unconsciously.
Outside the cave is the summit of Jufeng Mountain.
At this time, the sun was shining, and the sun had not even climbed halfway up the mountain—in other words, they climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which was useless for an hour.
But the black hair wizard was so tired and exhausted that he didn't even care about it. He leaned and sat down at a place at the mouth of the cave at will, and his mind was still reverberating with the words of the silver giant dragon.
You will be impressed with him—this is what Brandon said.
And not in the way you imagined.
There are two things that make black hair wizard particularly concerned-although it is only a sudden, but judging from the silver giant dragon’s dismissive attitude towards Azores, at least in his eyes this " "Elf invasion" is not a particularly important thing.
Why?
According to Loren’s actual experience, this war has reached the point of a full-scale war. One defeat may destroy the country... Why do giant dragons not take seriously? Is the spirit of power disdainful?
This has just had a giant dragon, and died on the battlefield against the elves!
Well, if this can also be explained as "the pride of giant dragons", they look down on elves and humans as well, or they know some secrets that they and the empire don’t know...
Who is the "coward" hiding behind him referring to?
Asriel?
If yes, does it prove that they knew each other in the past?
If it is true, does it mean that it is not the first time that a similar situation has happened? Logan wearing a hat, Roland the Black Duke, have reached a contract with a certain Evil God, and a giant dragon Are we fighting together?
But why, he knows he must come back?
No, more importantly, why did he know that he must represent Asriel?
Outside the cave, the roaring cold wind from the top of the mountain continuously poured in, mixed with sparse white snow, dyed into golden by the morning light.
The same battered and exhausted Ayin cautiously leaned beside him, secretly glanced at the black hair wizard who was in deep thought, and stopped talking several times.
The tired Loren couldn't help but curled up his mouth.
"If you want to ask, please."
The black hair wizard lazily said, looking sideways to the corner of his eye: "You must have a lot of things you want to know...or else you are not Ai Yin , It’s our omniscient Isaac."
"People are not that arrogant!"
The little wizard who was "offended" in one sentence blurted out. But hesitated, panting with rage coldly snorted, deliberately turning his head over: "There is nothing to know!"
"Besides, even if you ask, you, a big liar, will only make up a bunch of stories. Lie to me, and ask is for nothing."
She muttered to herself, her voice is getting smaller and smaller
"I swear, can I not lie to you this time?" Hang up With a lazy smile, Loren raised his right hand: "What do you ask and what will I answer."
"I don't believe you!"
"Then I'll just say it, you think Just listen."
"If you don't want to listen, don't say it!"
"Why?"
"No, you are not allowed to say it!"
"Even if it's fake, can you just listen to the story?"
"Don't listen!"
"But you don't let me say, I I want to say it again."
"You can't say it, don't say it!"...
The two went back and forth, and they quarreled for nearly a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the little wizard with bulging cheeks and pouting his mouth, the black hair wizard "puchi" and laughed.
The "irritated" Ai Yin panting with rage flushed, but it seemed to be infected, and couldn't help but slightly cocked the corners of her mouth; lightly snorted turned her head aside and stopped going To see him.
"Hey, you two are here!"
With a hint of surprise, a very familiar voice came from the depths of the cave.
relieved, without an expression of not knowing whether it was relief or helplessness, the exhausted black hair wizard looked in the direction of the sound source.
I saw battered and exhausted, just like falling off a cliff, and then the prince who was beaten by an explosion limped and ran towards them; the clothes on his body were almost turned into rags Article, no place is intact from head to toe.
The nose is blue and eyes are swollen, the hair is messed up into a bird's nest, and there is still a sunny smile on his face. From three steps away, he leap forward, open his arms and rush towards Loren!
Then he lay down steadily a step away.
The face first touches the ground.
"Pu Tong!"
Listening to the incomparably clear voice, Loren and the little wizard shivered at the same time, their frowning brows were a little curious and a little uneasy. Looked at the guy who was suspected of smashing himself to death.
"How can you like this!"
A lion raised his head and violently lifts the head. Brandon with a dusty face looked towards the two of them with dissatisfaction, and scared them again I shivered:
"At this time, as my friends, shouldn't you also pounce up tacitly, hug me and feel the surprise of each other's survival?!"
No, I am afraid that my current physical condition will not be able to withstand your rocket head mallet.
Loren murmured silently in his heart.
Coughing lightly, and with some shortness of breath, he lowered his head silently: "...I'm sorry."
Hearing the apology, His Royal Highness's expression immediately changed, showing a satisfied smile. : "Well, just knowing to apologize, I forgive you!"
The little wizard on the side pressed her lips tightly, and quickly lowered her head.
The black hair wizard who is also forbearing a smile, desperately suppresses the corners of his mouth that he wants to provoke.
Yes, this is probably one of the reasons why the relationship between myself and Brandon is so good; in some things, the prince is really a fish’s memory, and it can be done in the blink of an eye. forget.
"Okay, let's talk about business."
Brandon got up and stared at Loren in a "very serious" posture. Milassis has already told me that she said that you and Enzo have met once and have reached some...agreement?"
The black hair wizard raised his brows.
He secretly glanced at Ai Yin beside him, and the little wizard who turned his head curled up in a ball, pretending to be resting; but he couldn't bear the impulse of curiosity and tried his best to prick up his ears.
Really...I still want to know.
"Although I took a little risk and almost got swallowed in one bite, but...you are right."
With a tired sigh, Loren laughed a little helplessly:" Silver giant dragon Enzo, he seems to be very dismissive of the Azores, and he doesn't think this group of long ears will be any trouble."
"But he still agreed, and he will be necessary. Join in at the time to help us win this war."
Brandon nodded with a solemn expression, this is basically the same as the answer he got last time; his eyes still looked at the black hair wizard, and he said to continue.
"Apart from this, he didn't irritate us too much because of Iolit's death, at least I saw it." Loren whispered, "You are right, this The leader of the Giant Dragon Race is indeed impressive."
"Well, that's good news!"
Brows raised, Brandon's expression stretched a bit: "The goal of this trip to Jufeng Mountain is half achieved by now!"
Nodded, which Loren agrees very much.
Yes, in this situation, as long as you don’t let the giant dragon become an enemy, it’s already thank goodness.
As for getting the giant dragon's definite promise... it can only be regarded as an ideal goal. The two did not expect a meeting to convince each other to agree.
"Speaking...what about Isaac and Lucien?" The relaxed prince finally had the heart to care about other things, and looked around: "Why didn't you see them, haven't you come out yet?"
"It has come out, and it came out in front of us."
Loren Lazily said: "Isaac found the weak spot of the trial road, and successfully completed the trial...now It’s said that I’m in the dragon’s life, and Isaac is entertained by giant dragons with Lu Sien."
"So Lu Sien and Isaac are together, you and Ain are together...interesting."
Squinted and thought of something, Brandon showed a somewhat complicated expression on his face, muttering to himself: "so that's how it is, so that's how it is."
Looking at looked thoughtful, but unlike His Royal Highness who was going to explain, the black hair wizard was very wise not to ask.
"What do you plan to do next?" Loren deliberately changed the subject:
"Enzo's attitude towards us is not bad, at least not too deep hostility and confrontational thoughts, thinking It shouldn’t be difficult to persuade him to make some attitude and support."
"Then wait until this meeting is over, you should go to be your Prince of East Sackland-how to deal with your territory Go to those who are not very obedient nobles, kill them?"
tone barely fell, he saw Brandon's eyes trembled.
"Um...it's possible."
"It's possible?"
"Yes...it's just possible." Frowned tightly, Brandon looked at the cave Baixue fluttered outside, with a strange expression: "My thoughts are still the same as before, but...a little change."
With the same expression, Loren raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"If I want to be the real Prince of East Sackland, it is impossible not to kill, otherwise I can only be titled puppets, not to mention that they should die...but if I kill too many people , The consequences will also be very serious."
Turning his back to the black hair wizard, the voice of the prince was unexpectedly very stable.
"The most direct thing is to weaken the war potential of the empire-the more stubborn aristocracy, the more proof that their strength and foundation are deep enough, kill them all, and East Sackland can fight. People who are missing one third."
"Even if I can immediately arrange for those Eboden nobles who follow me, mercenaries and wealthy merchants to occupy their territory, this group of people cannot provide much in a short time. Military and financial resources have greatly weakened me and the power of the empire."
"That's why I planned." With a calm expression, Brandon added: "To kill you must still kill, but you can't. Kill like a mob-the guilty must be judged, the heinous must be punished, and those who can cooperate must be drawn together."
"As for deserters who have become bandits and robbers... the middle-level commanders cannot stay. They must be replaced, but the officers and soldiers at the bottom can be used as the army, and they must be turned into obedient soldiers again. , Killing a batch of... can control the gap within... well, one-fifth to one-tenth, and enough space can be freed up to resettle the group of refugees."
"Basically I just thought of this for the time being, and everything else depends on the actual situation."
Brandon scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. Some looked towards Loren sorry: "My wizard advisor, my excellency. What else can I add...Uh, what is your expression?"
The black hair wizard was dumbfounded.
This, this guy in front of him, really is Brandon?
Brandon, who knows he will not end well, wants to deliberately struggle with his big brother at the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain? !
Brandon who made his own claim in Eboden and became one of the fuse of the Eboden Rebellion? !
Brandon, who doesn't care if he stabbed himself as long as he is happy? !
Don't he pretend to be Connold, right? !
"Uh...no, nothing!"
Looking at Brandon's increasingly unhappy expression, Loren laughed reluctantly: "Just a little curious, how did you... How did you think of this?"
"I mean, um...means, that is... um..."
I thought about it for a long time, the black hair wizard didn't expect What a more euphemistic vocabulary to describe.
"It means that Brandon was absolutely happy before, and it is absolutely impossible to think of this...right?"
Looking at the corner of his mouth, Loren smiled awkwardly.
"I didn't say that."
"That's what you mean!" He snorted, and His Royal Highness showed a meaningful expression on his face:
"Just like water will flow, people will change; if you like brat, you will have the day when you grow up."
"Especially...when he understands what he wants When does it take--he will start to understand things, know how to weigh the pros and cons, and choose a more sensible way of doing things rather than do as one pleases."
In crimson's eyes, there is another stubborn silhouette reflected.
A silhouette who was once terrified and over-cautious, caring about others' eyes, but finally got the courage.
Loren was taken aback.
What excites him?
Brandon shrugged: "Forget it, don’t talk about this... Let’s think about it first, how should we continue to negotiate with Enzo and other giant dragons? This is our trip. The purpose; and..."
Before the words fell, the howling wind suddenly rolled up from the cave; the three people standing at the entrance of the cave all looked up.
"Boom——!"
Along with a loud noise and the shaking of the ground below their feet, the giant dragon Miracis steadily landed in front of them and bowed down the dragon head , Curious eyes kept looking at the black hair wizard.
"Oh, my dear Queen Mirasis, you finally think of me! Is this someone who came to pick me up? It's really..."
"pu Tong !"
Without waiting for a surprised look of Brandon, he rushed to hug him, Milassis swayed his wings casually, and slammed the poor prince directly aside.
The face first touches the ground...again.
[Who will come to you specially. 】
Without looking back, the giant dragon let out a lazy groan, staring at the black hair wizard.
【According to Enzo's order, Jufeng Mountain welcomes the distinguished Duke of Byrne to visit. We have prepared a resting place and food for you and your companions. Please feel welcome. Please do not hesitate to give orders. ]
[For friends who are about to fight side by side, Jufengshan has nothing to say! 】
