Act 126 Power and Responsibility (1)
After Brando said this, he looked at the group of people leisurely.
There was silence in the forest for a moment——
"Mr. Brando, are you okay?" But after all, he is an old fox who has experienced the world. Macaro smiled slightly, calmed down the surprise in his heart and asked: "I have been separated since I was attacked. I didn't expect to meet him here. you."
Brando thought to himself, you old bastard, you are still focused on pushing the blame on Conrad at this time, do you really think I am a fool? But of course he did not show such anger on his face. He just smiled and patted the Earth God Envoy's motionless and lifeless head, and replied: "Of course, this little thing that wants to trouble me is not enough. It's a pity that night You ran away too fast, and even if I wanted to fulfill my obligation to help our allies, I couldn't do it. I'm really sorry to say that."
Both sides gritted their teeth. No one seems to be inferior to anyone else in telling lies with his eyes open, but Brando's performance still makes Macaro wary. He is a little unsure whether Brando really knows the whole truth - or just because I was angry at their hypocrisy and subterfuge. However, at this age, there were not many young people with such wealth, and for a while he couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
So much so that even the thorn in Brando's words was ignored.
What's more, he didn't come here to quarrel with this young man. He frowned and looked at the forest behind Brando, hesitated, but still asked: "Mr. Brando, have you seen other people coming from here?" Have you passed by here?"
"You mean a young man?" Brando smiled secretly.
"Exactly."
When Macaro spoke, Brando felt that the people behind him became obviously anxious.
"If I guessed correctly, that's Mr. Eco, right?" Brando asked.
The expressions of Macaro, Buga, and the old man between them suddenly changed, "Have you seen him?" Macaro took a step forward and blurted out, but then he realized that he seemed to have gone too far, and he couldn't bear it. He couldn't help coughing and stood back. He looked at the two people next to him. Buga always kept one hand on the hilt of the sword, keeping a gloomy face and keeping alert at all times. The old man looked thoughtfully in the direction of Brando.
But he immediately realized that Brando might have guessed something. However, he believed that Brando could not know their identities. After all, they even concealed this matter from the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group and even Eco.
"Have you seen him, Mr. Brando?" Macaro coughed and then asked: "Eco is the descendant of an important friend of mine. I promised him to take good care of him, but I didn't expect anything to happen. Be careful to get separated from him.
"
Brando smiled slightly. It's not only Eco who has separated from you, isn't it also the entire Gray Wolf mercenary group? I don’t see you, an old fox, in such a hurry? However, he did not point out this point, and just asked: "Old friend? So this is what the cunning fox Macaro or Mr. Baron Roscher has always called Duke Luen? I'm afraid Mr. Duke will not agree -"
As soon as he spoke, he heard the sound of swords clashing. Brando raised his head and watched at leisure as the row of followers behind Macaro drew their swords.
"Young man, who are you?" Macaro's expression changed and his tone became serious and he asked sternly. He immediately thought whether Brando was on that side, but looking at the Earth Angel lying on the ground bleeding into a river - it didn't seem like it. Is there a third party force? The cunning fox hesitated for a moment. Although it was not impossible, who else would be interested in this competition? He couldn't help but wonder if it was a foreign power? Madara or Cruz?
Brando naturally didn't know that this guy had so many thoughts in his mind at once, but he didn't intend to answer. He was waiting for someone to speak, that was the old man between Macaro and Buga. Since the other party can stand in front of these two people, it naturally illustrates his status. But who is this old man who suddenly appears, Duke Luen? No, he couldn't remember a big figure like Duke Lune wrongly. He said he was disguised but it didn't look like it. In Warnd, disguise is a professional skill that players can also learn, but most of the skills will be left behind. Flaw, as a veteran player, Brando will certainly not be unaware of this.
Sure enough, after he waited for a moment, the old man finally withdrew his gaze and fell on him. But the first question he asked made everyone stunned.
"Young man, are those at your feet the goblin's apples?" the old man asked after confirming for a long time.
Oops! Brando screamed in his heart, and then realized that he forgot to put this thing in his backpack. Normally, he would never make such a stupid mistake, but on the one hand, Aloz's previous words weakened his expectations for this thing, and on the other hand, because he had a strong backer behind him, he didn't think too much about it. And to be honest, he didn't expect this group of people to show up first.
But at the same time, he finally recognized who this old man was.
Eruin's chief palace wizard, a veteran of three dynasties who assisted Anson VII - Lewolds Hardvera Gemmell. This guy is the mentor of the current princess and the little prince. It turns out that he is also here. I didn’t expect that Macaro has such a secret move in his hands. No wonder he can confidently place Eco in Chablis, as if he is letting the other party fend for himself. It was like self-destruction - I almost deceived him. But this way, it becomes more and more obvious that this guy is determined to kill him. Now it seems that everything facing the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group was probably planned by this old fox.
Is the purpose just to avoid procrastination?
Brando couldn't help but hold the handle of the dagger. Although in a way he agreed with the highly utilitarian values of these nobles, he played with the emotions of people he got along with day and night, or he might have never regarded those people as one person. Something happened. Whether it is Sanford or Qian, everything they encounter is the whole meaning of life to them. They fight for it and pay for it, but to these people in front of them, it is like an abstract and non-existent thing. Like a phantom.
But when they no longer need this illusion, the dreams of those little people in their eyes are like bubbles. They can't even resist with a gentle poke. The pity is that Akane and the others may not even understand this.
Brando took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and made up his mind to teach these guys in front of him a lesson. Not because he has a righteous reputation, but because he is very unhappy now - he is unhappy, and he has the ability. So he wants Macaro, Buga and even this old man to pay the price for what happened to Qian, Sanford and others.
"Master Lee Woods, is that right?"
Brando picked up the golden apple at his feet and shook it in front of everyone.
His action immediately caused Macaro and Buga's expressions to change, and they realized what the goblin apple that Lee Woods was talking about was. That's the fruit of the golden tree, Martha, with this, they have the capital to change everything. The old king's wind-shattered body, or His Highness the Prince's cowardly character and destiny, with the golden apple, everything has the opportunity to change.
Could this be the opportunity God gave Eruin?
Everyone couldn't help but think this at this moment.
Even Shenchengfu, who was such a cunning fox, couldn't help but his expression changed drastically at this moment, and his breathing became rapid at the same time. Even Master Lee Woods, who has experienced countless storms in his life, couldn't help but said: "Young man, what you have in your hand is very important to us. Can I ask if you can sell it to us? Afford whatever you want, whether it’s money or power.”
Brando felt two slender hands put on his shoulders, and a small voice asked with a smile: "Do you want to sell it to them, Mr. Brando, I allow it."
But Brando just smiled slightly. He looked at these people indifferently, mentioned the golden apple, and asked, "Do you want this?"
"Exactly," Macaro said: "Mr. Brando, what you have in your hands is very important to us. It is so important that it may change the fate of many people. Believe me, we don't want to buy it out of selfish motives. This apple. And we are also willing to abide by the principle of fair trade. As long as you offer a price, we will satisfy you as much as possible. Whether it is money, women or power, everything you want." He said in a very provocative way The words of sex say so.
Brando curled his lips disdainfully and sneered: "What a big tone, how can you guarantee all this? Why should I believe you, Mr. Macaro? With the power of the Eruin royal family behind you? You ask me What do you want? Well, I want to ask you two questions-"
Two questions?
Macaro, Buga and Liwusi looked at each other. What kind of request is this? However, the opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back, so he nodded and replied: "Just tell me."
"First question, I'm actually very curious. I don't understand some of your plans. Master Lee Woods is here, why do Mr. Macaro and Mr. Buga have to personally get involved in danger and even work hard to manage it? The ten-year-old Gray Wolf Mercenary Group was also destroyed because of this, which I can’t understand.”
Macaro and Buga didn't expect his question to be this, and couldn't help but be stunned. However, Lee Woods coughed and replied in a low voice: "Young man, the struggle involved in this matter is far more than what it seems. I don't know how much you know about the inside story, but we don't want the outside world to know that the royal family is actually involved behind the scenes. About this——"
He actually didn't want to say so much to a stranger, but it seemed that Brando had recognized him, and the thing in his hand was too important, so the old man had to lower his profile and explain to him. .
"That's it." Brando nodded.
"Then the second question, are you coming out now to regroup the lost Gray Wolf mercenary group?" Brando chuckled: "In fact, it is like this, I have recruited some of your people..."
Macaro and Leigh Woods looked at each other, then shook their heads: "No, Mr. Brando, you are worrying too much. We are just chasing Mr. Eco because he insists on finding his companion and fiancée. "When he talked about his fiancée, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, it was quite embarrassing to tell the truth about the fiancée of the Duke's only son.
But that's all. He shook his head and continued: "As for the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, that is a thing of the past. It no longer exists. Those people you recruited, I thank you on their behalf."
really.
Brando grinded his teeth——
Then he heard a clang, and everyone turned around and saw a red-haired girl covering the wound on her chest with one hand, covered in blood, standing there blankly, the spear in her hand was not there. Know when it hits the ground.
