Chapter 54: Duke's warning

Looking at Bran, who was holding the huge black cat and standing in front of him with a pair of black eye frames, the Duke felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The missions and caravans kept exploring the situation in the North, openly and secretly, everyone knew, but everyone pretended not to know. As long as the bottom line is not touched, many things are not caught on the spot, and most of them are closed with one eye. If the North is not to be completely isolated from the circle of the country, some information must be communicated through some channels.
The spies in the caravan were preparing to invade the villa at night, and they did touch the bottom line. At this time, Bran should inform the Duke and let him deal with it. But Bran incited his brother and sister for the sake of several wizards, killed one, caught one, and got one missing. Then the Duke and the knights came out to wipe the bear boy's ass.
After that, Bran and Dany kidnapped all the wizards in the caravan with a speed and method that no one could think of. This was a bit too much. Fortunately, the sneak attack and sap tactics were clean and neat, without any handle. The Duke finally believed the little things his daughter told him. Her brother had a bad stomach, and every day he wondered about the yin people behind his back.
"Bran, give me some restraint."
"Ok."
"Don't bother with the caravan."
"Ok."
"Don't make trouble again."
"Ok."
"You call Dany in."
"He is my attendant."
"So let you call her in!"
"You don't have the right to give orders to my attendants. If you have anything you can pass through me."
"I call it myself."
"She has the right to refuse your order. She is from the North, and she will follow her vow. From the day she became my attendant, from the restaurant in this castle, we said that life and death and synchronicity, she was completely with You have nothing to do with it anymore."
"It's up to you!"
"You'd better not go out. There is more than Danny outside. There are also your other attendants, your knights, who have smashed you in front of them, and what hurts your reputation.
Calm down, at least look at our gains. "
Bran began to persuade: "My sister, you should have noticed these days. If she can complete the trial, she will definitely be another Valkyrie."
The duke's powerlessness deepened, and he remembered the scene of confronting his father when he was young. Is this retribution? It just came a bit early.
"We also have our own wizards. If necessary, you can tell me." The Duke decided to ease the atmosphere.
"I know, but it's going to die. I don't simply communicate." Two clusters of starlight appeared in Bran's hand like a trick. "This is the last thing the two wizards have left in this world. It's better to die than to die. People are better. Moreover, we Northlanders pay more attention to our own force, and do not pay much attention to the use of wizards. How many people are just complacent about the slight improvement in physical fitness that comes with becoming a wizard. They awakened After that, how many times have you used the abilities you gained? I’m afraid I have forgotten what I awakened. Our trials have allowed us to gain tremendous power, but we have also overlooked a lot."
The Duke was a little speechless, "You must at least maintain some respect for life."
"Don't worry, my purpose is very clear, only those wizards. And I know what you really want when you come to me? Actually, just tell me directly. Since my awakening, the summary of my ability improvement and application is in Here. I have a good habit of always recording at hand. So don’t worry, I will treat writing as a trouble. I am not as brave as my two brothers, nor as brutal as my sister, but I am a civilized person. "
Bran handed over a thick notebook, very proud: "It's a bit messy, remember to return it as soon as possible after copying it."
"Uh, how do you know I want this?"
"Because you didn't hit me directly after bumping into you." Bran pointed to the Duke's desk, grinned, somewhat proud, he will not forget the experience of being spanked by the Duke on the desk.
"Some of the more intuitive small models were snatched by my sister. I don't bother to make them again. If I want to see them, I can borrow them from her. Then, can I go?"
The Duke waved his hand feebly and signaled Bran to get out of here...
When Bran walked to the door, the Duke stopped him and asked: "What would you do if I was carried to the table and beaten?"
Bran hesitated, and from the back of his he drew out a round, thick one with obvious raised metal discs.
...
In the villa, seeing her younger brother come back with ease, Lily looked disbelief, and asked: "My dad just let you go?"
"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with me. I was not beaten, which disappointed you?"
"I just feel that you have taken advantage of it. You catch those wizards for yourself."
Bran was a little angry and raised his voice: "It's for us! Here! You get the most benefits, but you don't have much effort. Brother and sister are the most innocent."
"Do you still know that we are innocent?" Bran heard his brother's voice behind him.
"Uh, uh..." Bran was embarrassed when he was caught, and then quickly changed the subject: "I wonder if the two brothers are looking for me, what's the matter?"
"Not for you, but for Lily."
Bran understood that these two brothers wanted to compete with their sister, so they immediately slipped away...
...
Ayman and Irene, the pair of little dragon riders came again, Ayman couldn't help but lovesickness, and extremely shamelessly took his sister as cover to the villa.
Bran was upset now, too lazy to pay attention to the little dragon knights, so he pointed to the direction of the martial arts field and motioned for them to pass. He believed that with his sister's current strength, Ayman would be hit and lose all confidence. And he just wanted to stay in the rocking chair and hold Huahua quietly for a while.
Irene didn't leave, or because she didn't want to disturb her brother's date, she naturally sat down near Bran. Then the two were so quiet, thinking about their own thoughts.
For a long time, Irene said in an affirmative tone: "You are a wizard, this is Bran Mountain Villa, your villa. Therefore, the man on the wall, the wizard of the caravan, was swallowed by you."
"It's not swallowing, it's assimilation. A phenomenon of magical confrontation among wizards." Bran sighed, "I don't have the ability to swallow others. It was just an accident, and it happened before no one expected it.
This also reminds me that my ability can still be used in this way. It's like a table knife was originally used to cut meat for eating, but the hand was cut accidentally, only to discover that it can also kill.
Are you scared? I know that when you saw the figure on the wall, you felt scared, but I didn't expect it to scare you. "
"I always think you don't have the wildness of the Northlanders. You get along well with the animals in the villa. I even envy you. But now, I find you have a natural disregard for life." Irene stared at Bu Lan, seems to want to confirm something.
"I am just used to and indifferent to certain fears. I never ignore life, and I even respect life very much. But after weighing it, I do not reject all means."
Bran closed his eyes and continued: "You are just scared. You may have heard the battles and bravery of your parents, but you haven't really seen the cruelty behind it.
But when you really feel the feeling of despair, you can't bear it anymore, so you want to vent your fear by judging me. Maybe you know that I won't really hurt you, so I questioned it face to face. You want to pass justice, or anything else that can hide your weakness.
But, I am from the North, and you are a dragon knight, we don't need these. "
Bran stretched out to Irene's hand and held it, Irene did not refuse, just let Bran hold her hand.
The two were silent, very tacitly in agreement, shaking the rocking chair one after another. The brother and sister who came back from the martial arts field saw this scene, and they found that when the two villains held hands quietly, they were quite cute.
