Chapter 328 Unfortunately, your guess was wrong!
After asking the lady in the library where Brand was, Anthony quickly said goodbye to several ladies and the little firebird.
——Although I really want to play with this baby firebird for a while, there is still business after all.
However, he really didn't expect that there would be a baby firebird in Brand's library!
This should be obtained in the Furnace Volcano, right?
Thinking about this, Anthony couldn't help but think of the phoenix.
——Is it possible that the phoenix is actually a special kind of firebird? The little firebird in the library is the cub of the phoenix? The library got the recognition of the Phoenix in the Melting Volcano, and thus got this "Phoenix Cub"?
With all kinds of messy thoughts flashing through his mind, Anthony came to the outside of Brand's room and knocked on the door.
Soon, the maid named Catherine opened the door.
Looking inside the room, Brand was sitting on a seat padded with animal skins, tasting "the Holland family's special drink."
As soon as Anthony walked in the door, he smelled the faint fragrance of tea.
He has also tasted this drink, and the taste is not easy to describe.
It has a slightly refreshing effect and may be of interest to mages who have been engaged in intensive research work for a long time.
However, knights like him prefer drinks that are full of energy and can replenish the body's consumption.
At this time, looking at Anthony walking into the room, Brand asked a curious question:
"Good evening, Uncle Anthony, have you stopped those two minotaurs?"
Anthony shook his head regretfully and said:
"No, This time we marched all the way from Furnace Castle. The soldiers were already a little tired. In addition, they also used the secret skills of the legion. Considering the consumption problem, we chased all the way and stopped chasing." Arriving at
Bran After sitting down tiredly next to De, Anthony continued:
"However, there are also legions blocking the front. It is not easy for the orcs to leave easily. If you want to know the specific situation, you can take a look. Look at the intelligence map in the War Information Room."
Brand originally asked casually.
But listening to Anthony talk about such a complicated situation, his interest was aroused.
Then, he took out the blank screen and changed it to the "channel" in the war information room.
——After dinner, it seems good to watch the news or something.
However, after looking at the intelligence map twice, Brand quickly lost interest in it.
——It’s just a map and a few patterns, what’s so interesting about it?
On the other hand, Anthony watched with gusto.
Just when Brand wanted to ask Anthony about his purpose.
Anthony pointed to the three big gray stars on the intelligence map of the Furnace Volcano and asked:
"I came here actually to ask about the Phoenix who killed the three big orcs.
You should have been underground at the Furnace Volcano at that time, right? So was the Phoenix. He flew out from there.
Have you met each other? "
Meet? "
After hearing Anthony's strange wording and thinking for a moment, Brand explained:
"That phoenix is actually the framework of the mage group in our library. I also killed the three big orcs with the magic scroll!"
Hearing this, Anthony He repeated with some confusion:
"Is that the framework of the mage group in your library? Did you kill those three big orcs too?" "
Of course! Killing three big orcs at once is much harder than killing three big orcs one by one. So I think I should be given more merit!"
Brand plausibly said that this was very difficult and the Military Affairs Department should give him more money!
Having said this, he thought of something again and continued:
"By the way! In addition to killing the three big orcs, we also foiled the conspiracy of the orc empire! You should have seen the baby firebird outside, right? , that is the purpose of the orcs' trip!
If it weren't for me, you would definitely not be able to defeat the five big orcs. They may have brought it back to the orc empire now!
That is the firebird! A firebird that can rival the giant dragon. !
The Orc Empire has lost a combat power that is comparable to the dragon, because I think this merit is higher than those three big Orcs!"
Looking at Brand who was plausibly speaking in front of him, Anthony felt a little dizzy.
He just came to ask about Phoenix, why did he get involved with meritorious deeds?
And is Brand serious?
Can dozens of people in the library realize the framework of a medium-sized mage group? And the orcs lost a firebird?
Seeing that Brand wanted to continue saying something, Anthony quickly interrupted:
"I have no say in the issue of merit. I can only report the situation. The specific amount of merit to be distributed is decided by the Military Affairs Department."
Hearing this, Brand continued to speak without hesitation:
"As a man who has annihilated three top orcs, saved the three major legions of the empire, and caused the orcs to lose a giant dragon, I feel that I should participate in the report. Let’s deal with the situation.”
After hearing Brand’s bizarre and exaggerated remarks, Anthony’s face began to twitch slightly.
——Do you think the Military Affairs Department will really believe your nonsense? This era is all about evidence!
Seemingly knowing what Anthony was thinking, Brand added:
"For many matters related to meritorious service, members of our library have recorded the entire process. I think based on the recorded magical images, the Imperial Military Affairs Department can make a correct judgment.
" While saying this, he also took out a magic crystal with the function of recording images and handed it to Anthony.
Looking at the magic crystal handed to him, Anthony suddenly became a little confused.
——If you think about it carefully, if the phoenix is really Brand's library and the orc's purpose is really the firebird, then Brand's words just now are just an exaggeration, not a simple bragging!
Next, Anthony began to carefully examine the magical images recorded by the magic crystal.
Looking at the perspective of the library in front of me, I can see the dynamic magical images from the encounter with the firebird egg and the big orc underground to the final dusk and the cross.
Anthony's heart was gradually filled with shock.
——What Brand said is true! That phoenix is really the framework of the library's mage group!
——Brand used dozens of people to complete the physicalization of the framework of a medium-sized mage group of more than 3,000 people!
...
When it was almost completely dark, Anthony, who received the message from his subordinates, walked out of the library camp in a daze.
In addition to the magic crystal that recorded the image, he also had the "Situation Statement" written by Brand.
At this moment, Anthony felt that he might need to take some time to take a good look at this rapidly changing world and improve his own strength.
If he didn't work hard, Anthony was a little worried that he would be beaten to death on the beach by "back waves" like Brand.
All the way to the conference room of the legion station.
At this time, there were already three people waiting for him.
——The commander of two cavalry regiments, and a young man named Williams Cockburn.
On the way back to Furnace Town, Anthony also heard from the other two legion commanders about the deeds of this young noble descendant.
Although there is no substantial contribution, it can be regarded as a contribution to the security of the empire's borders.
The empire should give verbal praise.
If Williams "may" have any substantial contribution, it is that he "may" find out the purpose of the orc's trip.
——In response to the matter of finding out the purpose of the orcs, the Military Affairs Department will give certain merits as appropriate.
The reason why Anthony and the two army commanders are gathered here is because Williams is preparing to take credit for himself.
Because Williams does not have the "proven evidence" of Brand, plus he is a descendant of a nobleman and a member of the noble pioneering corps.
This requires the three corps commanders to make judgments on the actual situation on site, write a description of the situation, and provide reference opinions for the Military Affairs Department to issue meritorious medals.
After Anthony arrived and exchanged brief greetings, Williams began to talk about his experience:
first he discovered another forging room underground, and then he was discovered by a big orc.
Later, he activated his life-saving device at a critical moment and had a "fierce battle" with the big orc underground.
Because it was a "top orc with superb skills", Williams unfortunately only ended up fighting with both sides.
Finally, relying on his perseverance and unyielding will, he dragged his seriously injured body to the legion station to summon the message.
After hearing what Williams told about what happened, Anthony's heavy heart recovered a lot.
——If there is no moisture in Williams' words, this level can be regarded as an outstanding noble descendant of the Kaya Empire!
Of course, Anthony is also clear about something: there is not a little bit of moisture in it!
——What does it mean to fight to the point of losing both sides? Judging from Brand's magic image, he wasn't injured at all, okay? ?
Although he wanted to expose this cunning little guy in public, Anthony still patiently asked the most critical question:
"Have you found out what the orc's treasure is specifically?"
After hearing this question, Williams said with a solemn expression. :
"Although I didn't actually see it, judging from the movements and behavior of the big orc during the battle, the treasure should be in the forge room I found. So I thought it was either a lost artifact of an orc,
or The forging diagram of the artifact!"
Hearing this, Anthony shook his head happily.
——Unfortunately, your guess is wrong!
