Act 79 The Story of Turbulence and Fish (1)
how do you know? "
Brando turned back and looked up and down again at Yura, who was kneeling on the ground covered with a thick layer of needles. He soon discovered that this girl's hair was beautiful pure black - not Antitina's deep black with a hint of purple luster.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Antitina's black-purple hair color and eye color probably come from the bloodline closest to the Min'er people in the world, Tirisians or half-demon; although the Min'er people no longer exist in the world, the two The bloodline born between the two races has always survived, and after several generations of hatred, it has now gradually dissolved into the vast human race.
The hatred of the past has gradually been forgotten.
However, the girl named Yula does not seem to be from this bloodline, although she also has long black hair and eyes.
"I can't tell clearly, Mr. Knight. It should be said to be a premonition. Piconade's mercenary group has never had any connection with the Black Fire Cult, but tonight they appeared together. Maybe it's just a coincidence. , but I am more willing to believe that this matter is a pre-planned conspiracy."
"Is Mr. Brando right? I think most people should move closer to their own people when they are attacked. Although we are not worthy of your trust, it must be better than the enemy on the other side. But you all have no idea. I chose to stay away without hesitation, which is a wise way to protect myself——"
Yura closed his eyes and listened to the fierce battles between the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group and the Black Fire Cultists in the distance, but his tone was unhurried: "But thinking about it in another way, at least it means that Mr. Brando has already A clear analysis of the current situation.”
"You must have noticed that another mercenary group has been following us."
She said in a positive tone: "In this case, Mr. Brando decisively chose the east direction. I believe that Mr. Brando, who can make such a decisive judgment, is not a reckless person - if a truly wise person Knowing what lies ahead but still moving forward courageously is courage.”
"But, compared to this statement, I prefer to believe that Mr. Brando actually knows the current situation. I don't know what is in the east, but is the east the way out? Mr. Brando?"
"As for why Mr. Brando is said to be a knight." She smiled slightly: "Because I happened to hear the lady call you just now. Because I was born blind, Lord Martha gave me a more sensitive hearing. This It’s not worth bragging about—" the girl smiled modestly.
Antitina let out a soft sigh and looked at Yura warily.
The girl raised her head. Although she couldn't see Brando, she still asked seriously: "So, if I plead seriously. Mr. Brando, you must be able to help our mercenary group, right?" ?"
Brando took a long breath.
If Antitina can be considered a qualified staff member, the girl in front of her is simply a monster. Her analysis is simple, but her intuition is so sharp that it makes people palpitate.
He looked at Yura's pure black hair, black with dark brown pupils, light yellow skin, and slender feather-shaped eyebrows. Every angular detail seemed to carry the unique temperament of a region he was familiar with. .
"I also have a question. Your surname is Huang, right?" he asked.
The girl couldn't open her eyes, otherwise her eyes would be full of surprise. She touched her chest, hesitated for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, her little move did not escape Brando's eyes.
The young man frowned slightly, as if he thought of something.
But Yura finally nodded: "Yes, my surname is Huang, and my real name is Huang Yu. It can be seen that Mr. Brando is very knowledgeable, and my appearance cannot deceive a truly knowledgeable person. It's just that Yura is no longer willing to I mentioned the past, Mr. Knight, can you let me go on this issue?"
Brando nodded, he just judged the girl's real name based on some external details of the other party.
After all, the only one in this world with such skin and hair color that is so similar to the Han people in the past world is the Nine Phoenix Country in the desert from the far east.
According to the legend, nine tribes in the land of Nine Phoenixes rule together. There is a legendary advanced swordsmanship in the country - the 'Red Lotus Sword of Karma'. However, this story only stays in the legend. Many players who later try their luck are all not the same. Nothing was found.
As for Eruin and Cruz, there are many Jiufeng people walking around, just like elves from the north. It is not uncommon in this world to travel to a foreign place far away from home for travel, pilgrimage or just adventure.
Brando touched his forehead, vaguely feeling that the name was familiar.
However, he still shook his head in response to Yura's request: "I'm sorry, we can't help you. In fact, I can tell you frankly that these Black Fire Cultists will not cause any trouble to your leader, but if 'Mane If Macaro the Wolf were wise, or rather I was him - I would be out of here in a heartbeat."
"You..." Reidy raised his head and glared at him as if he wanted to eat someone: "We have an agreement that you can't just leave. The mercenary document says..."
But 'Tiger Bird' punched him in the stomach, causing the white-haired young man to bend over in pain. Then he shook his head disdainfully and said, "Your regiment leader may not care about this agreement, even now. You have to admit it."
"So you understand?"
Yura nodded.
"Mr. Brando, what do you want?" she asked: "Money? Or power?"
Brando was startled, but he immediately shook his head: "I am interested in all these, but compared to money and power, I am more unwilling to get involved in a trouble. Let me give you another tip, Black Fire Mercenary Behind the group are tree shepherds, do you know them?"
Yura and Reddy changed their expressions together.
"How could we be targeted by them?" Reddy asked in disbelief.
Yura's expression changed again and he lowered his head.
Antitina poked him in the back and asked in a low voice: "Lord, the more you scare them, don't you make it clearer for them to ask you for help? Wouldn't the result be counterproductive?"
Brando spread his hands: "I'm embarrassed to lie."
Facing the extremely suspicious look of the noble daughter, he had no choice but to explain: "It's not impossible to help them, but I won't get myself involved. I'm just stating this."
"What should we do?" Roman asked, blinking.
"It's up to them."
"Is this okay?" The business lady obviously didn't believe it.
"certainly."
"Mr. Brando, what are we going to do?" Yura heard the conversation between the three of them and didn't understand that Brando was deliberately reminding them. She hesitated for a moment - as if she was considering whether she could trust the other party. But Brando knew that the bomb of the 'Treeman' was absolutely extraordinary - compared to the small-scale subversion of the country like the All Things Gathering in the dark, the Treeman had single-handedly set off The story of the bloody First Holy War is probably a terrifying shadow for most people living in this era.
Of course, this is a digression. Brando has no time or inclination to explain to these two rookies how scary the tree herders are. Anyway, their generation grew up listening to bedtime stories about the first jihad, especially La may be a little better. That white-haired young man Reddy will definitely not have a good impression of such a name.
He glanced back, and sure enough he saw that the young man seemed to be in a panic, with a confused look on his face.
"Didn't I say it," Brando replied: "Go tell your group leader to retreat immediately and leave this place. Judging from the current situation, the tree herders should be targeting you, but they have a habit , that is vigilance - once they realize that you may have discovered their intentions, they will probably shrink back and rearrange their plans."
"In this way, you have won valuable time. As for what to do next, I think your captain will have a sense of proportion."
It's not so much that Brando's analysis is clear and logical, but it's better to say that he's following the script. Although the guide in his memory was omitted in details, the general direction was clearly described. It would not be wrong for the tree herdsmen to focus on the 'Gray Wolf' mercenary group. As for why, Brando naturally Don't know.
But just because he didn't know didn't mean he couldn't help it. He spent as much time dealing with tree shepherds as he did with the skeletons of Madara. He also has many means to deal with these guys.
Yura and Reddy looked at each other.
"How do we know if what you said is true?" Reddy frowned and muttered softly.
"I didn't force you to believe it either."
"It's so irresponsible of you to say that..." The white-haired young man snorted.
"We have no obligation to be responsible. Have you understood the current situation? It's adults who are kindly helping you. Of course, you can choose not to accept it, if you are so brave..." Antitina has already Seeing that this guy couldn't stand it, the noble daughter finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke sarcastically.
After finishing, she was suddenly stunned. I couldn't help but look at Yura who was kneeling on the ground apologetically: "I'm sorry, I mean..."
"Don't mind." Yula shook her head. She kept her head down and didn't know what she was thinking. She just asked: "So Mr. Brando still has to go his own way and leave this place of right and wrong, right?"
Brando nodded.
"Not even if you want to stay?"
Brando nodded again. He had his own reasons. He had already gotten into trouble with the Union of All Things, and if he took on another tree shepherd, he would probably not be able to live in peace even if he died. But on the other hand, he knew that Buga and Macaro would not die in this plot, so although he knew that he did not have the strength to conquer each other now, he still had to express his good intentions.
I just took a step back and said that under such circumstances, even if he chooses to leave, there is nothing to apologize to the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group. The agreement between the two was as fragile as it seemed on the surface, but once he left, it would be a little troublesome to pick up this line again in the future.
Whether it's for two tough guys or the future 'Courage' quest line, he doesn't have to have a good relationship with the other party in advance.
But whether this benefit is worth the personal risk, as a senior player, Brando has obviously already weighed it in his mind.
"Mr. Brando is willing to let us go?" Yula asked again.
"I had no intention of arresting you. I was actually saving you before. Miss Yula, you should understand this." Brando replied.
Yura nodded: "But are you afraid that if you let us go, we will expose you?"
Brando smiled and replied confidently: "You can't catch up with us."
He was not joking. The guide listed at least four shortcuts and trails in this area, although the map was a bit rough. But it's not difficult for him, a veteran player.
Reddy glanced at him and didn't answer. But it was obvious from his expression that this unruly white-haired young man obviously didn't believe what he said at all, and he was convinced in his heart that he was just bragging.
Although he was startled by Brando's words before, he then remembered the time this guy made a fool of himself before. He was clearly a layman going east. Thinking like this seemed to make him feel more at ease, and then he thought that he would have to persuade Yura later, and he must not let the other party be deceived by this guy.
