Scene 37 Awakening

Waking up from his grandfather's dream, Brando opened his eyes and felt a coldness on his forehead. Looking at the drowsy sky, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. In the game, there are ways to break free from the cage of will by relying on equipment and skills that instantly increase willpower. For example, his unyielding talent is one of them.

But he secretly felt that this was not the best solution to the problem.

In any case, he who integrated Brando's memory couldn't let go of another part of his soul. He is not simply one of the two, but the unified soul represented by Sophie and Brando. If he cannot face Brando's weakness directly, one day he will not be able to face his own weakness directly.

Only by knowing yourself correctly can you fully accept the past.

This kind of growth is not only spiritual——

Brando's recognition of himself in the past alone has made him gain a lot. He didn't expect Brando's swordsmanship to be taught by his grandfather. In the past, these memories were buried in Brando's subconscious with a self-abandoned mentality-until now the memory of practicing swordsmanship in childhood was finally recovered and integrated into in his soul.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

Brando once sealed the swordsmanship taught by his grandfather because he subconsciously believed that he was not qualified to use it. But even so, the talent for swordsmanship that has penetrated into the young man's bones since childhood still makes him the well-deserved leader of swordsmanship in the Anzek Militia.

Our protagonist couldn't help but open the attribute list and saw that it had become: militia [military swordsmanship (level 3+1), fighting skills (level 3), tactical theory (level 0), military organization (level 0 )]

Training skills cannot exceed the professional level, but the reward skill level obtained through equipment and tasks is not included in it. Level 4 swordsmanship is already the level of an ordinary person who has practiced swords for 30 to 40 years, and it can appear in young people aged 18 or 19. Absolutely inappropriate.

But Brando felt that as long as he fully absorbed the essence of swordsmanship taught by his grandfather, it would be no problem for military swordsmanship to gain another 30% experience at level 4. And when he thought of the old man's swordsmanship, he felt chills. It was at least Aruin's military swordsmanship after level 10. Brando's grandfather was really a legend.

He sat up from the ground with mixed thoughts, and couldn't help but look towards the center of the valley. The hazy feeling emanating from the golden magic tree dissipated a little, which indicated that the power of the dream was weakening. He turned back to look at Freya and Roman—Freya's eyes were closed, and she frowned occasionally.

The merchant lady's face was pale, but her expression was very calm.

Fortunately, the situation is not as bad as he imagined, and the next step is to inject faith. As long as everything goes well, the Golden Demon Tree is not so difficult to fight. He crawled to Freya's side, pressed his finger on the center of Freya's brow, hesitated for a moment, and chose 'confidence'.

The Golden Demon Tree uses negative emotions to induce people to fall into the trap constructed by itself, and players must respond with positive emotions. Brando looked at Freya's usual performance, and believed that the superficial stubbornness and persistence were more like a layer of protection for the inner weakness. He hoped that the future Valkyrie would be more confident - only self-confidence can make people mature.

But he couldn't help thinking that they really didn't have any defense against him, and it was very easy for him to take advantage in this state. He couldn't help but glanced at Freya and Roman who were sleeping soundly, especially the smooth forehead of the latter made him unable to bear the delusion of wanting to kiss Fangze out of thin air.

Brando's heart was pounding, and he quickly calmed down. Although he likes the merchant lady, he is not a shameless person. He rubbed his forehead, all kinds of strange thoughts in his head were messy.

He couldn't help thinking about his dream again.

After leaving the dream, his state of mind was completely different, and the feeling of gaining and losing made him more mature. He knows that he will not look back, the meaning of time lies in the repetition of generation after generation,

Everyone has to go his own way alone——

So does he.

After understanding Brando's pursuit, he also has to plan for his future. Only he knows that the Black Rose War will end soon. This war only lasts from the end of May to the end of July in the game, and the nobles are not willing to get involved in a war at all.

This coincided with Madara's thinking. Foreign invasion was an external manifestation of the country's internal upheaval, but Madara did not want to stimulate the entire light camp, so retreat was inevitable. Since neither side on the battlefield is willing to fight for a long time, then the peace negotiation is a certainty. But that was more like a farce. Brando knew that the Aruin he was willing to fight for was not the current Aruin.

He is waiting for the Princess Regent to take the throne.

Of course he can't do nothing. He thought that after the war, the royal family would definitely commend some people. On the one hand, they would set up heroes, and on the other hand, they would comfort people. Maybe there would be a recommended place for Basta Royal Cavalry Academy just like in history. But Brando is not interested in this quota. To be honest, he is not interested in entering the old system of Eruin, but it is a good idea to let Freya go to study.

And what is he going to do? Brando couldn't help thinking that the beginning of a troubled world was in front of him. After all, a person's strength was limited. He needed a territory and gathered some people to support his ideals. He knew that with his familiarity with history and the world, he would be able to quickly grow his territory, but where would he start?

Follow Aruin's internal system? Not to mention whether there is too little time, he is also unwilling to get involved in the war prematurely, so he must keep a low profile so as not to be noticed by those truly powerful forces.

There is no need to think about occupying the mountain as king, the reason is the same as above. Another route is to take the route of the pioneers. There are pioneers in the game, as well as in reality. In this dark world, not all territories are under the control of the nobles. At the border of the kingdom, at the junction of civilization and wildness, there are still many virgin lands that have not been cultivated. Aruin has had such a decree since the time of the Anin Dynasty, as long as the pioneers who discover a new territory can legally occupy it immediately, and grant titles according to the size of the territory.

These titles are not hereditary, and most of the land will be taken back by the royal family and the temple after three generations, but people who are willing to seek opportunities to get ahead on this road are still flocking to them. Among them are desperate gamblers, adventurers, mercenaries, unscrupulous businessmen, and even serious-born Templars and clergymen. There is no difference here.

When it comes to such a virgin land, Brando can't help but get excited. He knows that there are many on the border of Eruin. Although there are differences in size, it is at least an option. But when it comes to selection, our protagonist can't help being a little hesitant.

He doesn't have a great need for development advantages and geographical location. The key is to be concealed, and it's best to start from the few territories with 'relics' later. After all, he has neither manpower nor supplies, so he can save a lot of effort by going through the city ruins in the game.

He thought for a while, and finally remembered a place. That place was known as the most legendary territory in the game, but it was later destroyed by his enemies because of the owner's mistake, but the talk about this place on the forum has been endless for a long time.

He remembered that he had seen countless times people say: If 'Valhalla' is still preserved, it must be a different scene at this time?

Brando couldn't help getting excited when he thought of this, why didn't he think about it himself. If that legendary territory hadn't been destroyed, its final development would definitely be beyond everyone's expectations. Unexpectedly, this daydream seemed to come true in his hands.

He was thinking about it, but suddenly he felt the person beside him move slightly. Then Freya opened her eyes, and she saw Brando put a hand on her forehead, and she was slightly taken aback at first. But then the bewildered color in the future Valkyrie's eyes faded like a tide, and she woke up suddenly, shrank her whole body back, and looked at Brando with a blushing face.

Even if she didn't speak, Brando could see what was clearly written on her face: No, shameless, what are you doing!

He shook his head and was about to explain, but Freya seemed to react first. As if she suddenly remembered something, the glow on her cheeks deepened again: "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, well, go and call Roman and tell her it's time to get up." Brando replied pretending to be relaxed.

"Alarm clock?"

Brando coughed and realized that he had slipped. Only then did he explain in detail the reason and effect of injecting faith, but he thought it should be a very simple matter, but he didn't expect Freya's face to change after hearing it.

"You, why don't you let Roman use it first?" She stood up nervously and asked.

kindness? Brando was taken aback for a moment, thinking that no matter how you look at it, you are more fragile, Miss Valkyrie. But before he finished thinking, Freya had already hurried over and helped Roman up from the ground.

The business lady was still pale and calm. But Brando was surprised to find that when Freya helped the limp merchant lady up, two lines of tears fell from her eyelashes——

"What's going on!" He couldn't imagine that Roman would cry.

"I'll tell you later." Freya took a deep breath and put a hand on Roman's forehead, but there was no response. She was startled for a moment, and immediately said, "Turn your head away!"

"What are you doing?"

"Turn around, hurry up, don't look!"

Brando was taken aback, but nodded immediately. However, his curiosity was not much worse than that of the merchant lady when she was awake, and after a while, she couldn't help but secretly glanced behind her. He immediately saw Freya holding Roman sideways with both hands, hugging her, touching her forehead with her forehead, and muttering to herself anxiously: "Little Roman, wake up, have you forgotten our agreement?" ?”

He couldn't help being slightly taken aback. He knew that Freya and Roman had a very good relationship, but he didn't expect that the business lady who said whatever she thought of had her own little secret.

But before he could stop being surprised, he saw Freya staring at him fiercely.

"Sorry, he saw it himself." Brando looked around and said to him.

"You, you are shameless!" Freya cursed with a blushing face.

"sorry Sorry."
