Chapter 56: It's really facial

After the dragoons left, Bran looked very worried. Zoya has also recovered from the last fright these days, and started to chat with Bran in the villa every day.
"I miss Irene a bit, do you miss her?" Zoya asked casually.
"I don't want to!"
"How do you feel that you have something on your mind? I still miss them a little bit."
"Do you know the characteristics of the Northlanders?"
"What characteristics?"
"Just heartless."
Following Irene's appearance, Zoya hammered Bran lightly, and there was no response to seeing him smiling, so she gave a heavy hammer with confidence and boldness.
"I heard you went to send Irene off?"
"No, just like when they came, I just sat in front of the house watching the fun."
Perhaps Zoya smiled when thinking of the situation when Bran was watching with her own animals.
"Will you still watch the excitement when we go with the mission?"
"will not."
"Why?" Zoya asked with some dissatisfaction.
I may be away for a while, and I will leave before you leave.
"Where to go?"
"I can't tell you, this is the big secret of the people in the North." Bran grinned.
"A lie again."
When bidding farewell to Zoya, Bran gave her a hug and explained to Zoya, who was blushing, that this was an early farewell gift.
...
At the castle dinner, the Duke began to persuade and educate Bran's dark circles. And Lily is also adding fuel and jealousy, accusing it of Bran's careful eye, deliberately making herself ugly with the black eye frame. With the wizard's physique and Bran's ability, he can eliminate the black eye frame in a short time, and it doesn't take so many days at all to embarrass her.
Bran was silent for a while, a little hesitant, and a little difficult to make up his mind. Only his mother, who had been doting on him, could see his conflicting mood at this time.
Bran raised his head and explained: "This is a facial pattern. The Northlanders reacted when they heard the call of the wasteland."
"Fart pattern, I will add two more to you now." Since Lily's ability evolved, the increase in her strength has made her become more violent, but this is really not a good habit.
Bran sighed, raised his head, and said seriously: "It's really facial lines."
Seeing her sister leaping over, Bran quickly explained: "I can't suppress it anymore, and I don't want to hear it now, but the voice has already sounded. So I have to make a choice."
"Actress again? What do you want to pretend this time..." Lily was a little angry. Then, the words below her could no longer be said. She saw that the bruise on Bran's eye frame slowly dissipated, and some inconspicuous markings appeared.
"It's impossible? How old are you? You are under 10 years old." Lily cried.
"It's 10 years old."
Except for the siblings' voices echoing in the dining room, everyone in the dining room quietly looked here. Some were surprised, some were at a loss. Did any children in the North heard the wasteland call before they were 14 years old? Everything happened too suddenly.
"It's impossible. I'm your sister. I'm much better than you. I didn't hear it. Why did you hear it?" Lily started to be unreasonable, worrying about her brother's safety and she began to talk incoherently. It's just that it is no longer useful this time. In the past, my brother would give in and compromise at this time, but today my brother did not obey her.
"I don't want to be like this. I thought it could be suppressed, until you heard the call of the wasteland, and then entered with you. Although after entering the wasteland, they will separate according to their calls, but at least there is a possibility of being together... Bran shook his head without further explanation.
"You can leave, leave the Northland now. When you become an adult, the call of the wasteland will disappear, and then you can come back again." The Duchess was a little anxious.
"In what capacity?" Bran asked his mother back. "I know, you wish me as long as I live anyway. Throw me out of the North in a spoiling way and with reasons that I can live. Then? How is this different from abandoning?
I don't want to be that way in your arrangement. You used your own experience and experience to arrange all the outlets for me, but this should not be all.
I know that this is the Northland's attempt to break the isolation, try to marry and communicate with the outside world, and try to break the tradition of our Northlanders not intermarrying with foreigners. I can survive, mother's doting is one aspect. But here is the Northland. How could an idiot be allowed to grow up in the castle just because of spoiling? When I saw the young men and women who were preparing to marry, I wondered, when did this news come out? Some things that I don't want to remember and remember gradually become clearer. Remembering things too early is sometimes not a good thing. During that time period, my sister, me and my sister may all be chosen as the marriage partner.
Don't look at me like that. It's not your fault, my father. Don't worry, I never hate you, at least when you found out that your son is not an idiot, you gave him a nice hug. Now, please don't stop me.
Tomorrow I will leave alone, temper myself on the road to the wasteland, and I will return from the wasteland. There are many kinds of power, at least I am still a good wizard, I am not weak under the unscrupulous life and death struggle. So don't worry, if my two foolish brothers can come back alive, so can I.
After completing the trial, I will leave the Northland as you hoped to be a native of the Northland. "
Everyone was silent, and after a long time the wife said, "Let Dany accompany you for a while."
"If you want me to come back alive, you can only let me go out by myself.
If, I mean if, Dani is my attendant. According to tradition, I have no descendants, and everything I belong to will belong to my only servant.
I will go back to rest, and will not come here tomorrow to say goodbye. "
Bran got up and left the dinner table.
...
In the patio of the villa.
The wife regretted it very much and said to Bran: "I knew this before, and I won't let you go anyway."
"Mom, don't be like that. It's something that people in the north dare not even think about to live a few years easily.
"Did you go to the wasteland by yourself? Will you leave the flowers to me?" Little Lolita asked.
"Huahua will follow me, he won't leave me." Looking at Lori's disappointed expression, Bran added: "If one day Huahua comes back by herself, you must treat him well."
"I promise." Little Lori nodded affirmatively. "But I still hope you will come back with him."
Bran took Ladani's hand and said, "Keep our estate."
Dany squatted down and hugged Bran in her arms. After holding it for a long time, she let go: "Ride on my horse."
"No, my brother rode in, but he slipped back on his two legs. It's better to count one less death, I won't drag them down."
...
Bran left when it was dark, and headed towards the wasteland with his inseparable friend Black Cat Huahua.
...
At dawn, Dany also left with two snow falcons and two white wolves who often lie on the third floor of the villa.
With the departure of Bran and Dany, the villa seemed to have lost some vitality. At this time, Bran’s mother, sister and younger sister were sitting in a somewhat deserted patio, and they didn’t want to talk.
"I want to follow and my brother for a while."
"No, there is Dani. It has been him and Dani for the past two years, we can't get in."
"But, I am his sister."
"Regret it?" Madam embraced her daughter in her arms, "Regret not taking care of my brother?"
The wife sighed and said, "Don't worry, Bran will take care of yourself. He has never really needed someone to take care of him. This has always been the way since he was a child. He has taken good care of himself and you and your sister. Very good, but I have never paid attention. He doesn't need any care, he just needs a recognition, so he has to participate in this trial. We just wait for him to come back."
"He always refuses to say what he wants. He always does this, so I..." Lily whispered, as if to others, as if to herself.
...
Little girl Zoya came, and then left disappointed. The little girl finally knew that the hug was really a farewell gift. Bran didn't lie to her this time, but she always felt that when Bran smiled and embraced her, there was a kind of farewell.
Not long before leaving with the mission, she finally found out that Bran was going to the Northland trial, the trial with a very high mortality rate. She couldn't believe it. How could the little Northlander, who was always pale, swayed and swayed in a rocking chair, without a trace of wildness, would go to the trial at this time? Didn't he prepare to get married and then leave Northland? Or is it true that, as the rumors do, the people of the North are always dying?
Zoya began to worry about her girlfriends, and she didn't want to...
