Act 4 Letter(4)

"Wait a minute," Andrew saw Brando talking and interrupted him: "Lord, what do you mean by saying that Valhalla has always existed in this forest?"

"Just like the superficial meaning of this sentence." Brando replied.

The elder Druid shook his head, "It's impossible," he said firmly, "If Valhalla is in the forest, it's impossible for us not to notice it at all -" Andrew suddenly became alert and realized whether this was Brando. They lied to him, because they originally came only for Funya. But without paying attention, he actually said so much, and some things even related to the core content of the Niya Oracle. He paused and stopped abruptly: "Sir, let's go back to the topic at the beginning!"

But Brando shook his head: "We have been talking about business," he replied, "Since Funia has given me the full decision-making power on this matter, then if you can't convince me, don't even think about taking her out of this place." Half a step into the territory." He saw Andrew raise his eyebrows and wanted to speak, but interrupted him abruptly: "There is no need to say any more unnecessary words. My understanding of you druids is no less than your understanding of yourself." Lando said coldly, "Melt into stone or forest tracking technique, no matter which one I have a way to catch you, you can give it a try."

Andrew gave up his plan to take Funya away by force when he heard Brando say those two spells. Mortals' understanding of druids is very shallow, but the young man in front of him is obviously an exception. If he shouts out his thoughts, it must not be an empty threat. He hesitated and replied: "Then what do you mean, sir? Our words have been made very clear. I think you should be able to believe everything we say, and even swear in the name of Lord Niya - we have no intention I only hurt Miss Funya, but took her to complete the necessary rituals to become a druid."

"You don't want to light the fire of Valhalla?" Brando asked.

All three druids were stifled.

"What exactly do you want to say, sir?" The young man named Reid behind Andrew had been eager to try, and finally spoke at this moment, "Of course we want to ignite the fire of Valhalla. This is what we monitor the magic power in the Black Forest. One of the main targets of the influence of natural boundaries. The druids also believe in Lord Martha, not to mention this is the agreement we have always abided by." He replied, "Forgive me, sir, I don't quite understand what you mean. .”

"What I mean is very simple," Brando replied, "Valhalla has always existed in the forest!" He looked at Funia and suddenly realized: "I understand, you probably have a misunderstanding. In fact, The so-called activation of the Saint in the Forest I am talking about is not to ignite the fire, but to activate part of Valhalla's abilities." The young man paused here, and he leaned back on the chair leisurely, showing a playful expression. With a look on his face, he crossed his index fingers and replied, "Let's make a deal."

"What deal?"

"Help me find Valhalla,

I will light a fire for you -" Brando replied word for word.

"So you become the natural lord of Valhalla as a pioneer knight?" Andrew glanced at the young man and realized for the first time what the other person really thought: "Actually, this proposal is not a bad idea. We druids have no idea about power. Desire, but," he changed the topic and replied, "I still want to say it again, Valhalla is not in the forest, it is just a legend."

Brando shook his head, "Well, to put it another way, I don't want you to help me find Valhalla," he replied, "I want you to go deep into the forest to help me find a ruins."

"remains?"

Are there any ruins in the forest?

Reid suddenly whispered: "Elder, last time we found that ruins outside the Ring of Wind?"

Andrew suddenly reacted. He raised his head and stared at Brando, asking: "Are you sure that ruin is Valhalla? But I have seen that ruin with my own eyes. It is just a fragmented ruin. Humans have gone deep into the Black Forest several times. , it is normal to leave the ruins of a town. But we have thoroughly searched the area where the ruins are located, and we have not found anything related to fire at all."

Brando listened and checked it in his mind. He asked: “Is what you call the Ring of Wind the monsoon walkway surrounding the Kalanga Mountains?”

The elder Druid was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right," Brando replied affirmatively. The Valhalla he knew was built on the monsoon path of the Kalanga Mountains, so the abundant rain brought from the Dead Moon Inner Sea in the summer allowed the crops in the territory to flourish. But these are not the key points. Brando suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "How long ago did you discover that ruins?"

Andrew was infected by his seriousness and couldn't help but become serious: "It was almost three years ago."

"Can you still confirm the direction now?"

"It's hard to say," Andrew shook his head. "In fact, the discovery of the ruins that time was also an accident. At that time, we went deep along the Kalanga Mountains to investigate the ecology deep in the black forest. But if we want to find that place now, I'm afraid it will take a long time." We need to re-send the expedition team to confirm, but with the general direction, it won't take long." He raised his head, "Sir, do you want to go together?"

Brando shook his head. "No, I don't have the time now," he replied: "This deal is completed, you send people to find this place, and once you have definite information, inform me immediately -" He looked at the three druids . This deal is actually unilaterally beneficial to him, but Brando knows that the Druids never think about it that way. These guys living in the Black Forest regard fame and fortune as nothing, and when dealing with them, you have to find out who they are. Only things that interest you.

The fire of Valhalla is a temptation that these druids cannot refuse.

Andrew and the two young men behind him nodded. In their opinion, Brando's proposal was equally beneficial and harmless to them. However, Antitina has been listening to their conversation, and the previous situation made it difficult for her to interrupt. But now she finally found room to speak. When Andrew agreed to Brando's proposal, she immediately said: "You took Funya away, but her relatives in Green Village are now in Fir Baron." .And Earl Denel’s revenge may come here at any time, haven’t you considered this?”

Andrew glanced at the noble daughter, and the other party's alarmism made him frown: "Don't worry, Lord. When I return to the parliament, you will get assistance from the Druid side, but as we said before , we have a condition.”

Brando looked at Funia, who nodded. "Tell me." He asked.

"Our obligation is limited to defending your power in Fir Barony," the Druid looked at the young man, as if he could see the ambition in the other person's eyes - he knew that this young man's intention may be far more than that. . However, Andrew was not willing to let the druids be tied to Brando's chariot, so he reminded: "Other than that, we will not provide any more help."

He was originally waiting for the expected bargaining, but unexpectedly Brando nodded instead: "Druids have always been neutral. I am very satisfied with being able to say that. That's it." He thought for a moment and added: " But it should be added that the scope of protection also includes Valhalla.”

Andrew was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course."

Brando secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that these guys had been stupid after staying in the forest for so long. Although the mature man's grasp of people's hearts is far better than that of Grudin and his ilk, it is still just that. The druids anticipated his plan, but ignored the ambitions of other nobles. Just like the situation in Tonigel at the moment - Count Jean Denel is determined not to give up, and war is inevitable. What's more, even if the war ends, other nobles will still peek into a legendary territory like Valhalla. Human beings are greedy, so once his interests are tied together, it is only a matter of time before he gets on the chariot.

Brando knew that he wanted to save the crumbling Eruin from the fate of imminent destruction. In order to fight against the astonishing historical inertia, he must get more help. Tonigel's druids were an opportunity and a part of his long-planned plan. This was a step forward for him, and after this step, no matter how big or small, history changed forever.

But when he thought of this, he stopped, looked at Funya and asked: "Funya, becoming a druid is not an easy thing. Although you are the person chosen by the goddess Niya, a person's fate is still the same. You have to rely on yourself, even if you stay here, you can still learn a lot." He paused and his voice softened a little: "So you still want to go with Andrew and the others?"

His words made everyone look at him in surprise, especially Andrew and others. In the hearts of the three druids, Brando was no different from the other nobles in Eruin, but at this moment there was a slight change. .

But Funya hesitated and nodded. "I'm going, Brother Brando." She replied.

"Why?" Fuluo glanced at Andrew and the three of them suspiciously. She didn't know Brando as well as Druid - in fact, she was very annoyed with Brando for handing over Funya like this. It's just that I can't refute it due to my own identity. "Isn't it good for you to be here, Funya, why do you want to go to the forest?"

Funya raised her little face and looked at Antitina, "Because of sister Antitina." She replied seriously.

"Me?" The noble daughter was stunned.

"As Sister Antitina and Dad said, you can't do it without relying on yourself," the little girl replied crisply: "Brother Brando is very good to me, but I can't accept it with peace of mind. Uncle Andrew said, When I become a druid, I will have the ability to look at them." She paused and took a breath: "By then, I will have the ability to protect the people in the village."

Brando's eyes softened.

"Well said," he replied.
