Act 57 Weights
Brando sat on a chair, facing Viscount Test, hesitant on his face, but there was a clear mirror in his heart. It seems that the Union of All Things is doubting his relationship with the 'Red Copper Dragon' Leto and his gang. Although I don't know how this guy recognized himself, at least some news has reached the ears of these people. .
And the time was much earlier than he expected.
Brando knows that the main purpose of these extremely evil people is to subvert authority. The country, the royal family or the government are all their enemies. Their purpose of being interested in Leto and his party must be due to the Unity of All Things taking a fancy to their gathering. Influence among refugees south of Prague.
He couldn't help but have a smile on his lips. In this case, he knew that he had gained some leeway. The weight in the hands of this Viscount from the Manowell region is his life, and the weight in his hands is the people's hearts gathered in this area that the Alliance for the Return of All Things wants to control.
Which is more important or less important, it's hard to say. However, based on Brando's experience in the "Amber Sword", he will naturally not show the price on his face like a rash rookie. He knows that his advantage lies in mastering the opponent's trump card.
Therefore, he will not give up this advantage easily.
Thinking of this, Brando smiled slightly and took the initiative to lower his stance: "Well, you won - or your sword won. Mr. Test, the Viscount from Manowell, but I didn't fight with you. After all, since you believe that I have a relationship with the 'Red Copper Dragon' Leto, then we might as well get straight to the point - you want me to join you, but your purpose should not stop there - "
As he spoke, he privately gave a signal to his summoned creatures: asking them to be on guard. This is a small trick. Brando knows that his actions cannot be detected by the other party, but it doesn't matter - there is a spiritual connection between the planeswalker and his summons - Brando originally wanted to let the other party see it. That’s all.
Gestures can convey the right message, or they can convey the wrong hint.
After receiving Brando's instructions, the two mercenaries standing behind the young noble immediately gave the others a wink. They took off their battle axes and quietly approached the door, one on the left and the other on the right. These warriors are summoned from cards and represent the aggregation of the concept of 'Rubis' mercenaries'. They embody all the advantages of these legendary mercenaries - unity, bravery, loyalty and extremely high tactical literacy.
Test placed one hand on the rapier. His attention was mainly on Brando, but he did not let go of anyone else. When the mercenaries took action, his heart moved slightly and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
These mercenaries are indeed as capable as the rumors say. No wonder they can fight their way through Madara's army.
Brando's misdirection took effect immediately, and Test couldn't help but fall into the trap of thinking.
From this, he was more sure that the young man in front of him was related to those mercenaries - and he was probably the rumored leader hiding behind the scenes.
His guess was not wrong.
But the problem happened to be that this was just a guess. As he continued to deepen his trust in the hypothesis he proposed-but in fact Brando didn't say a single useful word.
The basis of the conversation was based on the assumption that Brando was the leader of Leto's group.
If Test wakes up from this confidence, he will find that there is not a single word in Brando's words that can serve as an argument for this hypothesis. It's just that Brando took advantage of the rumored viscount's confidence to win back the previous confrontation without leaving any trace.
Brando looked at the other party nervously, fearing that the other party would raise objections - or simply stab him with a sword. But in the end he breathed a sigh of relief: it seemed that at least some of the rumors in the 'Amber Sword' were credible.
This Lord Viscount is indeed a shrewd and self-centered person.
Test does not have the ability to 'manipulate people's hearts' like Brando does at this moment. Instead, he smiled, with a hint of approval in his glass-like purple eyes. In his eyes, the other party's willingness to admit their identity is a sign of sincerity in negotiating. The Union of All Things will not mind promising generous terms - as long as they pay absolute loyalty.
"What you said is not wrong, so what do you think, what should our purpose be?" The young noble put down his sword and asked calmly.
Brando secretly sweated, thinking that this guy was really difficult to deal with. He grabbed the armrest of the chair and replied calmly: "I think a normal person in this position would think about what this person is hiding behind and what he wants to do. You have to know that tens of thousands of refugees are gathering south of Prague. The nobles are so slow to react, these people are like a powder keg, ready to explode."
"Well said," Test praised, "What is your purpose?"
What is my purpose? Is it just to find a place to farm and upgrade my base, and become the leader of the Farming Party? Brando rolled his eyes in his mind. He didn't know how to answer this question for a while, so he simply asked slyly: "What is your purpose?"
"I will do whatever the Oneness of All Things can do." Viscount Teste smiled slightly and replied politely. Not many people know about the krait ring of the All-Union Association and the true charter of this organization, but there are also a lot of people who have heard the name of this organization.
In fact, the Association for the Return of All Things has become a notorious name that has spread throughout the coastal areas of the Abyssal Sea. The tragedies they have caused in several places have made people laugh every time. However, compared with the common people who think that this organization is just an incarnation of the devil, in the eyes of the nobles, a member of the All-Union Society is probably imagined as an evil ghost that spits poisonous snakes and exudes the smell of sulfur.
Because what these members of the All-Union Church do is intolerable to any traditional authoritative organization, they almost represent the most primitive evil.
Brando certainly understands this. However, he pretended to be understanding and said haha: "So generally speaking, we are not in the same group, but on this matter, we can reach an agreement."
He replied half-heartedly.
Test turned back to look at the other mercenaries, who all looked indifferent. He believed that with his eyes, even the smallest changes in expression could not escape his observation, which meant that these young man's followers did not object to his words - which proved that Brando might not be lying in at least some aspects.
Of course, if Test knows that these are just Brando's summons, he will definitely want to find a piece of tofu and kill him. The premise is that there is tofu in this world.
But he still thought about it, but he didn't understand what Brando meant: "How to say it?"
Brando has a valuable motto he learned from his group leader - 'The best way to deceive others is to make them listen to what they want to hear. ’ This sentence is not necessarily very profound, but Brando thought that people say beautiful women can lie. His senior school leader is one of the most beautiful beauties in the Amber Sword. Isn’t this a bit insightful?
While he was thinking about these irrelevant things, he also clarified his thoughts: "To put it simply, you are against this country, and so am I. But you are idealists, and I am careerist. It's that simple." He He replied half-truthfully.
"Idealist——" This sentence made Test feel good: "It seems that we are indeed not from the same group, but I understand what you said. You don't want to join us, but want to win over us, but everything is unified You don’t need allies." He rubbed the hilt of the sword with his thumb: "You say that, but you are not afraid that I will kill you?"
"By killing me, this aging country is just missing one of its many potential snoops, which is harmless. But I am alive, and there are potential connections of interest between us. You may be able to get assistance from me. , Of course, although it is not free-" Brando replied sitting on the chair.
"But you must know that the work of the Union of All Things is not to build a new kingdom on the ruins." Viscount Tester said with a smile.
"Allow me to introduce myself. That's what I do. When the old system collapses, the new system must live on its decaying corpse. You know this is inevitable."
I have to say that you can tell lies with your eyes open without blushing and your heart not beating. Brando is also very talented.
"How bold," the young noble couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "Eruin has gathered forces from all sides, and the local nobles are deliberately trying to gain more independence, but they must not have expected that a small The young man spoke arrogantly. Let me ask you, what are you going to do to replace the Corcovado family’s centuries-old rule on this land?”
Brando smiled confidently, but this smile could not hide his guilty conscience. It's just that Tester didn't expect that there was a bluff in front of him, and his preconceived mentality took over his perception.
"'Gamblers never have the confidence to win.' When the rewards are large enough, the rest is a matter of courage. You understand, the factor of risk has never been truly tested in the hands of desperadoes." Lando didn't change his expression and answered with a proverb among businessmen.
If Roman were here, she would definitely agree with this sentence sincerely, but she has no systematic understanding of it, and relies on instinct to discover danger like a small animal driven by curiosity.
"But then, aren't we doing useless work?" Test folded his arms and leaned forward. The ‘us’ in his mouth refers to the unity of all things. The main purpose of All Things Gathering is to return to chaos, but Brando clearly told him that order is always in a cycle of constant destruction and self-improvement.
"Do you think I would do something that is not beneficial?" he asked.
"When a country falls into civil strife, civilization will decline. Isn't this exactly your goal?" Brando used his unparalleled understanding of the Unity of All Things to speak directly to the opponent's point.
Test's slightly changed expression seemed to reflect his heartbeat: "It seems you know us very well."
"I know all my potential friends and enemies." Brando replied with a pun.
There was sweat on his forehead, and he understood that success or failure depended on this.
On the other side, the Viscount from Manowell couldn't help but fall into thinking for the first time. His condescending attitude at the beginning was long gone. For the first time, he felt that this young man might be more complicated than he imagined.
He didn't believe what Brando said. But Brando's determination attracted his attention. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword, knowing that most examples in history proved the disaster of letting a tiger return to its mountain.
But what could this young man threaten him?
"Actually, I have another question. Have you been to Songbao?" Test finally raised his head and asked this question by mistake.
Brando's expression changed. What he was most worried about now was that the other party found out that he had killed the senior member of the Union of All Things who died in Songbao. Although he has a natural advantage in that he is only as strong as the middle and lower reaches of Black Iron, it is generally difficult for others to doubt him.
However, things are not always certain. When he killed someone, he didn't notice the ring at first, so the people who returned to the world noticed his aura.
Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw a flash of cold light in Test's hand, and the sword was already stabbing him.
Did he find out? Brando felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously activated his charging skills, but immediately suppressed the urge to fight back. Because he immediately saw Tester’s sword clearly after his speed increased tenfold——
It is difficult for ordinary people to be as familiar with the direction of the sword as Brando, but he recognized that Test was testing with just one glance.
Sure enough, the gleaming rapier stabbed into the back of the chair beside him with a sneer.
Brando still couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Black Iron Middle," Test muttered in an almost inaudible voice, and he frowned: "It doesn't look like that loser's opponent, but it's really weird, it's such a coincidence in terms of time."
Brando and Test were probably the only two people in the room who understood what he was talking about. Brando said nothing, but in his heart he was scolding the other party for being perverted. At this time, he was still doubting that he was deceiving his strength.
Test retracted his sword and looked at the young man deeply: "Just recently, how much trouble can you cause to the nobles of Braggs?"
he asked.
