Chapter 653: Uninvited Guest
Damn it!
Joko doesn't know what's going on outside, but it can't be a good thing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Didn't he say that "black money" was an exhibition set up by the most powerful businessmen in the region, and that everything was no different from a regular exhibition except that the auction items were not very legal? He cursed Otto ten thousand times in his heart, first because the auction price was wrong, and now someone came to the door, and if he knew so, he would not agree to anything.
Joko looked left and right, looking for something to defend himself from, but there was nothing in the room that could be used as a weapon, except for a few tools for torturing slaves.
Just then, the door to the inner chamber was pushed open, and a figure flashed in.
Without hesitation, Joko fell to his knees, "Spare your life, I'll give you whatever you want......
But the visitor did not pause at all, and jumped at him.
When he was finished, he subconsciously held his head and fell to the side, hoping to avoid the other party's attack.
"Don't, Annie!"
Amy shouted at the same time.
As the witch spoke, the cold wind that had swept over her cheeks suddenly stopped, and Joko looked sideways to see that it was a wooden stick that looked like it had been broken from a chair.
If this is confirmed, I am afraid that it will be considered light to be unconscious immediately.
Then he was grabbed by the arm by a large hand, lifted up alive, and fell to the bed with his back to him.
"Didn't he do anything to you?" the voice sounded slightly hoarse, and it was difficult to distinguish between men and women for a moment.
He said...... He's here to get me out of here. ”
"You've been deceived again, Amy," the man shook his head, twisting Joko's hands behind his back and expertly tying them up, "Spend four thousand golden dragons to save a strange witch? ”
"Huh...... Is that so?"
He knew so much about the auction price, and the other party was really the guy who was bidding with him? But at that time, the cave was dim except for the booth position, how did this guy recognize him and follow him to room 76?
Joko knew that his time was at stake, and he lobbied this time no longer for an old friend or a damned Otto, but for saving himself.
"I didn't lie to her! I'm the ambassador of the Grey Castle, and it's the king's order to rescue the witch!"
"Grey Castle...... Ambassador?"
Feeling the hand holding him behind his back tremble slightly, Joko knew it was working.
"That's right, Roland Wimbledon, you've heard of it, the fourth son of Wimbledon III, the king of the Grey Keep, is very kind to witches! He firmly believes that witches are no different from ordinary people, and even fights with the church just to let witches live freely in his territory! These are true, I swear!"
It may not be clear who Roland is, but the news of the crushing defeat between the Church and Grey Keep in Coldwind Ridge is something that everyone in Glowlight City knows, and he even knows that the news was released by Ciel Fawkes and his men. The church has always been the number one enemy of witches, and those who can defeat the church, for whatever reason, will most likely win the goodwill and respect of witches.
Sure enough, the strength of his hands behind him suddenly relaxed, and then he was turned over and pulled up from the bed - only then did Joko see what his attacker looked like.
The one who is called Annie...... Probably a woman, even with a long robe, her body was stunningly burly, and her appearance was even more heroic—two sword eyebrows leaned up slightly, her eyes narrow, and her hair lifted back, tied into a half-facing ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead. If the voice is lower, he will believe it when he says that he is a man, but this appearance is a little jealous.
"In that case, why don't you undo Amy's lock?"
It's the same question again...... Joko had no choice but to repeat his previous statement, "I'm also thinking about her safety, if she doesn't believe me, it will be more dangerous to sneak out." ”
"Where are you going to take her?" Anne, apparently not as coaxing as Amy, was noncommittal to Yoko's remarks, "to the King of the Grey Keep?"
"Of course—no," he said in the middle of his sentence, "that old friend of mine doesn't treat witches as slaves, and there are many witches living in his territory, just like normal people, and they have formed an organization to protect the rights and interests of their kind-"
"That's enough!" interrupted Anne sharply.
Joko shut up violently, these things were all he heard during his casual conversation with Ciel, and he heard that when the evil plague broke out in the royal capital before, His Majesty relied on the power of the witch alliance to curb the epidemic put by the church. This was obviously a good thing, but he didn't know why the other party's face became very ugly.
"It sounds like the Blood Fangs," Anne's voice turned cold, "that's what they used to advertise. ”
"Blood...... What?" Joko was stunned, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.
"The only thing a witch can trust is herself, not the promises of the nobles," she said, glancing around the room, quickly finding the key hanging on the wall.
"Wait, you want to take her out? It's underground, you saw it when you came in, the cave is full of guards, how are you going to get out?"
"I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about it. Anne opened the lock, lowered Amy, and then grabbed Joko and locked one foot to the ankle ring.
"You really don't think about it?" Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have the idea of killing himself, Yoko was a little bolder, and he obediently let Anne do it, making a final attempt in his mouth, "It's more appropriate for me to take her out, and I'll hand her over to you after I leave the compound, so that it will not be easy to arouse suspicion, and it will not leave the tail of the hand." ”
"It does sound good, but it is also possible that when I go out, I will be greeted by swords and sacred stones," said Anne unmoved, "I have made great mistakes because of my gullibility, and there will be no second mistake like this." ”
After securing Yoko, she dragged Seventy-Six in again, also tied her hands behind her back, and locked one foot.
"You didn't kill her?"
Seventy-six could see blood stains on her head, apparently she had been beaten badly, and was still unconscious, but judging from the slight rise and fall of her chest, she was still alive.
"It's not too late to get rid of Amy and then deal with her, and so are you," Anne's words made Joko shudder, "but I'm not going to kill you now, for the sake of the King of Greykeep defeating the Church." Maybe we all owe him a thank you, but that doesn't mean I believe in him unconditionally. ”
"I will bring this to Your Majesty. In addition, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to the Ambassador's Mansion and ask me for help. "Of course it's better not to come, we can all save a lot of effort, Joko thought to himself, that's fine, anyway, I've done my best, they don't want to go to Greycastle and can't force it, even old friends can't blame themselves.
Anne stared back at him for a while, then picked up Amy and strode out of the room.
