At this mont, he suddenly ran out and shouted, "Sir, wait, he’s not a Cruz..."
He wanted to prove that Brand was not a Cruz, but before he could finish speaking, the Sword Saint, who had suddenly withdrawn the giant sword and carried it on his shoulder, had already spoken.
Gray Sword Saint phisto raised an eyebrow, looking at Brand with great interest; he didn’t even glance at the stout Count Roborun who was shouting beside him, instead directly addressing Brand: "A superb Flash Sword, the descendant of Gilte, young man—now even the court’s secret swordsmanship of Cruz is in your hands, what more do you have to say?"
As soon as he spoke, the Heelu Envoy was dumbfounded.
Count Roborun stared at this young man in shock, his mind going blank for a mont—the Flash Sword, Cruz’s court secret swordsmanship, cos from the Dragon Clan’s legacy, far more eminent than the White Crow Swordsmanship of the Erune, adapted from the Wind Elf’s guard swordsmanship.
If it’s possible for the White Crow Swordsmanship to fall into outside hands, historically, only the direct descendants of Gilte could practice the Flash Sword, belonging to the King of Flas’ swordsmanship, one of the prides of the Eagle Empire.
At this mont, not only Gray Sword Saint phisto but even the stout Erune noble who had fought alongside Brand through the Wolf Calamity couldn’t help but doubt if this young nobleman was truly a Cruz.
Although, Brand seed more like an Erune.
In fact, aside from being descendants of the pure-blooded Eagle Knights with blonde hair and blue eyes, most Cruz people are quite similar to Erune people. After all, they both originated from the sa ethnicity centuries ago.
Moreover, Brand’s mother was a Catedrago, and his ancestors were exiled Cruz nobles, so he looked really indistinguishable.
At this mont, Roborun suddenly had a mont of realization in his heart.
No wonder!
No wonder this young man dared to unapologetically teach a lesson to that little princess from the Flower Leaf Domain, dared to confront Veronica to her face, dared to dismiss Golden Mane Tuo Kui Ning’s Lion-n.
This young man was a Cruz all along, and not just any Cruz; knowing the Flash Sword ant he was a direct descendant of the Fla King Gilte.
The Cruz didn’t experience a change of dynasty like the Erune, where the Kerkova Dynasty replaced the Xifah Dynasty. With the support of the Fla Temple, it seed justified for the descendants of the Fla King to continue to rule the Empire.
In summary.
This young man was not only a Cruz but also of the Cruz Royal Family!
Thinking about how they had boldly tried to cause trouble for a mber of the Cruz Royal Family, Count Roborun couldn’t help but want to raise his plump hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He paused, and then hesitantly said to Brand, "Baron, please forgive us; we shouldn’t have offended Your Excellency earlier—"
He didn’t dare to directly say Brand was a Cruz to avoid being blad, though he believed phisto had already recognized Brand’s identity, so whether he said it or not made no difference.
But once he spoke, Otarais just glanced over without knowing the truth, and Brand, who had just placed his soul back into his body, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Damn it, now this is truly a situation beyond explanation!
"Lord Otarais," he couldn’t help but be a bit speechless, "you—"
"What’s wrong?" Otarais was slightly taken aback, not being a fool. Hearing phisto’s bizarre question and seeing the suspicious attitude of the fat Roborun, she naturally understood she might have done sothing stupid.
But she couldn’t figure it out; wasn’t the swordsmanship of the Fla King Gilte openly a sage’s swordsmanship? Is it possible the descendants of the Fla King have fallen to such a point?
But it didn’t seem that way.
"Aren’t you a Wind Elf? Why would you use the Flash Sword?" Brand asked feebly, "Generally speaking, people use the swordsmanship they are most familiar with, right?"
"You are correct," Otarais replied, "But youngster, this body is yours after all, and I’ve practiced swordsmanship more suitable for females. Gilte’s swordsmanship is likely the most suitable for you to unleash its full power."
"In that situation just now, sister had to go all out to protect herself," she replied in her heart, "Besides, didn’t I use the Flash Sword in the Fate Arena before?"
Brand nearly spat out another mouthful of blood, thinking Otarais was an unexpected savior, but he didn’t expect this to be the worst decision ever.
However, he knew the Female Knight was not at fault, though he racked his brain to co up with such a coincidence.
This is too coincidental!
But saying anything more now wouldn’t make any difference. Even the Erune envoy began to suspect his identity, and the Centaurs and Tree Elves naturally couldn’t confirm his identity.
At this point, only Kulan, Antitina, and Qian knew he was telling the truth as they had seen him perform the Flash Sword in the Underground World before.
But then again, could Kulan, Antitina, and Qian really be sure? Brand knew he remained a mystery to them as well.
Moreover, even if the two ladies were willing to testify, at this mont Gray Sword Saint phisto wouldn’t necessarily believe them anyway, as in his eyes, they were with him.
Brand glanced over that way.
Qian seed like she wanted to step forward, but Antitina held her back. This action made Brand feel relieved, as he was worried Qian might act impulsively. phisto didn’t kill him because he was of so use, but he couldn’t necessarily spare others.
In fact, at this ti Brand realized there was only one way left to prove his identity.
That was the Princess’s Silver Brooch.
A true mber of the Cruz Royal Family wouldn’t disguise themselves as a mber of the Erune Royal Family’s Knight Order.
However, presenting the Princess’s Silver Brooch here clearly wasn’t appropriate. Brand looked around and then said to Otarais, "Lord Otarais, do you have any techniques to enhance speed?"
"Naturally, why?" Otarais answered while staying vigilant of phisto.
"Find a way to divert him away, to a place with no people," Brand replied.
"Youngster, you’re too whimsical," Otarais shook her head, "His absolute strength is far superior to yours, and I can only compensate with technique temporarily, there’s no escape—"
"Enough, Gray Sword Saint phisto’s speed is his weakness," Brand firmly replied, "Although I can’t outrun him, it’s more than enough to lead him away."
"Are you certain?" The Female Knight was slightly stunned.
Brand thought if not, he wouldn’t have been able to complete the Black Iron Body task back in the day and thus nodded, "You listen to , Lord Otarais, take him west from here, lead him to a place."
Otarais hesitated for a mont and then nodded.
