Scene 284 The Game of the Big Man

The gray sky seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and Marquis Youxi looked away from the manor's resplendent railing with white breath in his mouth, with a half-smile on his thin and pale face, "This weather is really hell, Sir. ∏∈E∏∈Novel∏∈Net, www.exiaoshuo.CoM

The entourage behind him couldn't help complaining that the Marquis had been wearing a mink coat all the time, and he just rubbed his hands, "It's true that the low temperature in the season of melting ice is better than that of severe winter, but no matter how cold it is, it can't stop our princes." My heart is on fire."

"Is it ambition?"

The Marquis smiled without answering, put his hand back on the railing, and silently watched the two horse-drawn carriages led by knights pass through the bare tree-lined road and stop outside the gate of the manor one after the other. At this time, a lot of well-dressed and eloquent nobles gathered in the hall in twos and threes. Although most of these people were famous local merchants and gentry, this meeting has almost nothing to do with them. In this game that determines the fate of the kingdom, As insignificant little people only have the 'right to applaud'.

But the carriage brought the real heavyweights—

When the carriage stopped slowly, the entire hall fell silent, and the high-spirited talk turned into whispers. The guests in the hall could clearly see the coat of arms on the black carriage of the two carriages on the boulevard through the tall floor-to-ceiling arch windows. The crescent moon, staggered scepter and crown, plus the unique seal of the winged snake, the identity of the owner of the carriage is ready to be revealed—the last blood of the Corcova family, Her Royal Highness Princess Arouin and her younger brother.

But compared to the declining royal family, there is only a simple and ferocious goshawk stamp on the other carriage, but this coat of arms is like a dark cloud that weighs on everyone's hearts—if one of the six grand dukes of Eruin Whoever is so powerful, the [answer] is Anleke.

The knight opened the car door for the princess first, and the light purple dress looked like a cloud that suddenly rolled out. Griffin slowly got out of the carriage. She raised her head slightly, her light silver pupils seemed to contain autumn water, faintly shining with a clear and introverted brilliance, the soft silver fell on her slender shoulders, and a fur shawl was added, but it even brought out the delicacy of the half-elf girl— ——It's just that this kind of fragility now supports a kind of inherent indomitable and proud.

All the people present held their breath subconsciously. They had heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom was the brightest pearl on the crown of Eruin, but only when they actually saw it did they realize what they said was true. ∏∈E∏∈Novel∏∈Net, www.exiaoshuo.CoM

It's cheaper than that old fellow Anleke, this is what most people present thought. But Marquis Youxi on the terrace just showed a profound smile. He lowered his head and sniffed the smell of musk on the mink gloves, thinking that Grand Duke Anleke appeared with His Highness the Princess, he is really a cunning guy, is this a footnote for the frequent contact between the two sides? But in his opinion, what kind of worth did this little girl from Kurt (1) sell herself for?

That's the most interesting place.

The door of the second carriage opened, and everyone present felt suffocated inevitably. Even You Xi on the terrace couldn't help frowning, and Duke Anleke under the railing didn't look as old as the rumors outside. His temples were gray and his eyes were like eagles. The serious face is full of self-importance, the lips are thin, and the beard on the chin is as meticulously groomed as the powerful minister himself-it can be said that compared with most nobles, the Duke looks good-looking dignified.

He was wearing a black ermine robe. The light silver breastplate was faintly visible under the robe - but no one would think that the Grand Duke is a man who is greedy for life and fears death, the Highlander is a martial artist, and Grand Duke Alek was also a soldier all his life. He attended all occasions in a military uniform, which had long been a scene in the aristocratic circle of Eruin, and even Youxi knew without looking at the belt under the robe that there must be a heavy blade with a sharp edge. This sword is not a gimmick that most nobles use to decorate. Anleke has used it to split enemies in no less than double digits in his life. As for the hua'er in the greenhouse, they would probably vomit out of nausea when they looked at these corpses.

However, You Xi gave a 'tsk' with some jealousy. Ordinary people are not allowed to carry weapons when they enter this venue, but Grand Duke Anleke is obviously not in the category of ordinary people. This is an honor that only the Duke can enjoy. Although he has a special status, compared with the many big figures who presided over this meeting, he is only better than those in the hall below.

Holding a silver cane, Duke Anleke slowly got off the carriage, looking around with a pair of eagle eyes. Seeing the princess at the side, the serious look eased slightly. He dusted off his robe with his hands, walked over with a smile, and stretched out his right hand to Griffinpin in a very gracious manner, "Today you are the most beautiful princess in all Vund. ⊥"

Griffin looked as usual, she raised her hand to let the powerful Duke hold her, "Thank you."

"It's an honor to have a wife like you."

"According to the agreement, when Haruze takes the throne, I will naturally become your wife, my lord duke." The half-elf girl replied flatly.

Grand Duke Anleke smiled, but did not answer.

Behind them, there are the close ministers of Grand Duke Anleke and Overwell, Makaro, Lewoods and others of the Royalist Party. However, this kind of harmony is more like expressing a fixed meaning within the rules of the game of the nobility, which naturally has a different meaning in the eyes of those who are interested-of course, for most mediocre people, among the group of people is still in the hand. Dejar, who is still wearing a bandage and has a gloomy face, is the most eye-catching. The most outstanding swordsman of the Highlanders managed to keep his right hand in the previous duel, but the wound on his arm will not heal soon. .

The guests in the hall couldn't help whispering again when they saw the news figure a while ago. The duel of Dejar in the Great Temple of Anderfle has already spread throughout Amber Sear. As for the people who participated in the duel The two sides are naturally the center of the topic. It's a pity that what this honor brings is not glory, but shame. Dejar's face turned pale. This eagle, which is proud of the highlanders, can't be proud now.

Marquis Youxi was also one of the witnesses to the duel. He stood on the terrace with a smile and greeted Duke Alek, thanking the Duke for lending him his guard that day and apologizing for his recklessness. But as soon as Dejar and others entered the hall, he couldn't help thinking about what happened that day——

Who is that young man? The temple is tight-lipped. It seems that no one knows the origin of the other party except the chief priest himself. Seems to have been drilled out of nowhere. But drilled out of thin air? is it possible? I thought I already knew all the families of Eruin well, but now it seems that the water in the kingdom is still very deep; Marquis Yoshi rubbed his eyebrows, Wood is from Cruz, he knew it earlier The Cruz Empire bought a lot of secret forces in the kingdom, but as for the intention of doing it at this season, it's hard to say.

Or a pawn of Wood himself? It doesn't matter, anyway, it won't be me who has a headache, Marquis Youxi thought to himself. A figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

At this moment, the big figures representing the various forces of Eruin have arrived one after another, and the luxurious carriages stopped in the woods outside the manor one after another; The uncle of His Majesty the King, Grand Duke Sifah will naturally fall to the Northern Group with a clear-cut banner. Followed by the Marquis of Balta, who came from Sword Castle, this family has long controlled the White Lion Army for the Corcova royal family.

The enemies of the White Lions are the Cruz people, but it is hard to say who the enemies of the Jianbao family are. Marquis Youxi was astonished, but the next carriage made him slightly startled—this dark carriage slid into the woods like a ghost, and the coat of arms on the carriage looked so strange. A broken sword on the red background seems to remind the world of its unique pride. Marquis Yoshi hesitated for a few seconds before realizing that the Yanbao family, a lone soul outside the circle of Aruin's nobles, had also come to Ambersea.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's not just the Marquis, it's like the aura of Anleke when he arrived with His Highness the Princess earlier. The entire hall of the manor fell silent at this moment. Not many people may have a good idea of ​​what Yanbao means to Aruin, but in terms of mystery, this family may be ranked among the top three in this ancient kingdom. It was thirty years ago that the Earl of Yanbao had an audience with the King of Aruin. There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between the kingdom and this ancient family, so that the kings of this land can treat one of their subjects Don't ask.

The reason between this. Even Brando didn't know about it, because this secret also disappeared with Aruin's demise in another period of history. But this does not prevent him from sitting in this mysterious carriage because of its owner. Corresponding to this peace of mind is the Earl who is slightly cramped directly opposite Brando—or the Countess , Deer Ferry has never had the experience of sharing a car with a strange man in his life.

Usually, she is accompanied by the female knight Nia, but today Brando will play the role of her staff and close ministers. It is only natural for the staff and the lord to share a car.

When the carriage stopped, Brando lifted the curtain and glanced out. At a glance, he saw the royal family's carriage and Alek's carriage parked in the most prominent positions, as well as Freya and Nimesis next to the carriage - the future Valkyrie was dozing off, and Brando couldn't help it I feel a little funny, but my heart is warm. Everything familiar in the past is still there, and Eruin has not completely slipped into the abyss of destruction. Everything seems to be turning around. Sometimes he really worries that this is just an unreal dream.

But only when he sees Freya's youthful face that still has some butch country girl's face, that face that belongs to the future Valkyrie, will he feel that all this has become 〖real〗 again, like a tentacle available.

Then he looked away, at this time the knight outside the carriage had already opened the door - it was Nia who opened the door, and the female knight gave him a dissatisfied look. Brando didn't care, he got out of the carriage first, and then reached out to the Countess—Dilferry hesitated before jumping out of the carriage with his hand.

As soon as the two got out of the car, they attracted a lot of attention. Of course, Brando would not think that these gazes were directed at him. In fact, it was the same. What surprised everyone in the manor was Delferry's age. She was wearing an earl's robe, and the three silver borders on the robe proved Without her identity - Yanbao actually has a new heir.

But among all the people present, at least one line of sight fell on Brando.

"It's you!" The highlander's eagle Dejar, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a roar. Through the hall of the manor, even the floor trembled, as if it could reflect the anger of the owner of the voice.

Everyone was startled.

Del Ferry was no exception. She had already thought that Brando and others were coming to the venue to find trouble, but what she didn't expect was that trouble would come to the door as soon as she got out of the car. This is not the same as the agreed script, the Countess couldn't help but frowned, and looked at Brando questioningly.

At this moment, the center of sight has shifted from the Countess to Brando, but Brando only felt a little embarrassed, he couldn't help shrugging his eyebrows, he didn't expect this guy to come after him if he was not well injured.
