CHAPTER XV
I immediately knocked on the cell door frantically and yelled: "I admit it, I am willing to accept the punishment, *** how much you will be punished, you say, let me out!!!"
After paying 3,000 dinars, I finally left this place of purgatory on earth, and before leaving, I thought about it, and paid 1,000 dinars for Peter, and I wanted to take him away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The clerk said, "Peter has been locked up for so long that all the previous documents are gone, and I don't know what his crime is." ”
I said, "If you're not guilty, let them go, they've been locked up for years." ”
The clerk said solemnly: "We have strict procedures, and we also act in strict accordance with the regulations! I don't know what kind of crime he is, how can we fill in the form and enter the file when the time comes to let him go?"
I said, "All right, then you can find a sin worth a thousand dinars and let him go." ”
The clerk flipped through the code, and said, "Don't worry, since you have taken a thousand dinars, we will definitely find a crime worthy of this price, and of course he will not be given a small charge of a few hundred dinars, such as theft or gathering a crowd to fight...... Ah, I found it, and the charge was exactly 1,000 dinars!"
I said, "Then it's okay, let him go." ”
Peter came out with a blank look on his face, and I said, "Since you have been dismissed from the army, you can simply follow me and be my mercenary, and you will be indispensable in terms of treatment." ”
Peter grinned.
The clerk smiled and waved goodbye, saying, "Thank you for your patronage, welcome to your next visit!"
I immediately shuddered and fled the place.
Peter asked behind his back, "How did you get me out, they don't remember what happened to me." ”
I said, "I paid a thousand dinars to buy a random charge and get you out on bail, but this is actually an official kidnapping agency." ”
Peter nodded in agreement, and then he spread out his file and read it aloud: "Prisoner Peter, May 5, 1270 Calradia calendar, imprisoned for the crime of ......****?!"
Peter asked me, "Commander, where are we going now?"
I gritted my teeth and said, "Let's go find someone first, someone who got me into the bureau and disappeared without a trace." If this guy is trying to find a way to catch me, forget it, if this guy runs away on his own, even if it is heaven and earth, you have to dry him for me!"
Peter nodded, though I knew he didn't understand what I was saying.
I said, "Let's go to a hotel and ask about it." ”
Peter hesitated a little and said, "Not very well, didn't you say that the wind has been very tight there recently, boss, didn't you stumble there?"
I said, "This time, let's go to find someone, and we don't do anything, so why do we have a weak heart? To be my subordinate, you have to be bold, ruthless, and black-handed!"
Peter nodded in realization.
I turned the corner and found that the road leading to a hotel was actually sealed, and across the street of Rhodok soldiers, I saw a hotel covered with seals, and there were people standing guard outside.
I grabbed an uncle casually and asked, "Uncle, do you know why this hotel is closed?"
The uncle was indignant and said: "Forcing good people to be prostitutes, harming one party, and the most important thing is that the fee is so expensive, and you can't return it if you are not satisfied, you have no professional ethics at all, and it should have been sealed a long time ago!"
I wiped my sweat and asked, "When did it be sealed, do you know some details or something?"
The uncle thought about it, then thought about it again, and finally thought about it again.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out twenty dinars from my pocket and gave them to my uncle, saying, "Uncle, tell me quickly." ”
The uncle smiled happily and said, "When was it sealed, I remember that it seemed to be sealed by the way when I caught Lord Kesto a few days ago, how long has it been, one day, two days?"
I shook my head impatiently, and was about to leave, when I suddenly realized something, and grabbed the uncle: "What did you say? Lord Kesto?
The uncle looked at me like an alien: "You just came to Viruga, right, you don't know such a big thing?"
I said, "What the hell is going on?"
The uncle looked up and said, "Let me think about it...... Let me think...... Let me think about it again......"
I dragged my uncle into the alley next door and pulled out the scimitar at my waist.
The uncle immediately shouted: "I remember, I remember, that is, two days ago, suddenly a legion came from Djerkhala, stationed outside the city of Veruga, saying that it was a business trip, and the next day during the day, I heard that Lord Kesto was arrested, the lord's mansion was also burned, hundreds of people died, and the whole family of Kesto was detained, we don't know why, but we heard that Lord Kesto was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, organizing a cult, and wanted to lock up and take back Djerkhara to hand over the crime of the Council of Nobles, which has been spread all over the streets and alleys in the past few days. Now Viruga is succeeded by Duke Mario, who was previously a hardcore anti-Caystor. ”
As soon as I let go, my uncle ran away like a ghost.
Peter was stunned and said, "Boss, what's going on?"
I said, "It's useless to talk about this now, I just know that there is a big trouble, and Jamila doesn't know if she is in the lord's palace when it happens, and if she is, she will be in trouble if she is detained by the way." ”
Peter said, "Didn't the uncle just say that he would escort him back to Djalkhala, so let's go and watch halfway to see if there is any." ”
I said, "That's the only way, if you really can't hijack the prisoner's car, *** it's exciting to think about." Speaking of Peter, do you know how to ride a horse?"
Peter scratched his head: "No." ”
I said, "Okay, then let's go separately, I'll go to the ambush halfway first, and you'll find a way to chase me and join me." If Jamila is really among them, I may really want to hijack the prisoner's car, and then your task will be to answer and cover me. ”
Peter said, "Commander, you don't need to go separately, you can ride a horse, and I can run." ”
My eyes were about to fly out, and I said, "You're running?"
Peter said, "That's right. ”
So saying, he walked in the direction of Djerkala, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Still holding on to a glimmer of hope, I explained our plans and routes in a conspicuous position near the gates with the agreed cipher, hoping that whoever would see the roar or the dryer would come and wish us a hand, and then pat our horses in the direction of Djerkhala.
Along the way, I missed the time when Mama Cha was in the team, because less than a day and a half after I ran out, I found that I was lost, and I didn't even know if I was running in the direction of Djerkhala, but just ran with a deep rut. By noon the next day, the rut mark had reached a dense forest and vanished.
I was completely lost.
With a hint of illusion, I continued to run in the imaginary direction for more than an hour, until the forest disappeared and a large bare mountain field appeared in front of me. I know, it's over, I'm in the wrong place.
Rhodok is surrounded by mountains, but the road from Viruga to Djerkhara is sandwiched between two mountain valleys, and the current situation does not exist.
I'm at a loss.
A woman's scolding voice suddenly came from behind: "Whoever is in front, leave your money." ”
I was angry, I didn't look back, and said coldly: "Don't mess with me, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood now!"
The woman smiled arrogantly: "Yo, such a big fire, this girl wants to see how many pounds and taels you have......"
My heart suddenly moved, this voice was a little familiar. I turned my head, and sure enough.
The woman in front of me, who was holding a crossbow and flaunting her might, saw me turn her head, as if she suddenly saw her creditor, and she couldn't say anything more than she said a word.
I said, "It's you, Melva, you're still robbing the Dao! Have you forgotten the suffering of the people in the world, the coming catastrophe on the continent of Calradia?"
Melva shook her head, her mouth still wide open, and suddenly turned around and ran away, shouting: "It's none of my business, I'm just passing by, I'm not robbing, you're mistaken......"
I dragged her back: "It's been more than a month since I last saw you, how much money have you robbed this month, give me an obedient spit out, you guy who doesn't care about the lives of the people in the world!"
Melva said with a look of grievance: "Who said that, I have been thinking about this issue very seriously since last time, and then I didn't find any signs of catastrophe as you said, so I went back to my old business, who knew that the first one would meet you...... By the way, did you lie to me that time?"
Melva seemed to have figured out something suddenly, and struggled out of my grasp, looking at me suspiciously.
I was a little weak-hearted and said, "There is no sign of the Great Tribulation, haven't you seen the gray cloaks of groups of abducted and sold maidens - the Dark Pilgrimage Order, tell you that they are the forerunners of the Great Tribulation, that was more than a month ago, and now it is estimated that the territory of Nord alone is full of dark hunters with crossbows on horseback and crossbows!"
Melva thought about it again, beckoned to the back, and out of the woods came a girl in a black bodysuit, with a good figure and a good face. Melva whispered a few words to the girl, nodded and said: "It seems that what you said is true, this is Jasmine, I rescued it from a group of people wearing gray cloaks a few days ago, and there are dozens of girls along with it...... Wait, could it be that the Great Tribulation you're talking about is the Dark Order?"
Melva bounced up as if electrocuted: "I didn't think about it that much at first, I thought it was some crappy slave traders, but as soon as you said that, I remembered, indeed, it is the Dark Order, this is their plundering of the so-called Holy Maiden, and the next step is the hunters all over the mountains, and even the Dark Legion!
Melva calmed down a little and said to me, "What you said is so right, it's ridiculous that I had a little doubt just now, and now that I think about it, you should be the successor of the prophecy of the Holy King Leon." ”
I said, "Do you know about the Holy King Leon and the Dark Order?"
Melva said, "I don't just know that my uncle was under the command of the Holy King and finally died in the defense of Chanda, and our family will have to uphold the belief of the Holy King to save Calradia for generations, and we must not forget it. Melva looked at me deeply, "Since you are the inheritor of the prophecy prophesied by the Holy King Leon himself, then I should also be loyal to you and help you fight against the Dark Order." ”
With that, Melva got down on one knee and memorized a long list of allegiances, so many that I don't know how they memorized them.
After reciting, Melva still knelt in front of me with her head bowed, motionless.
I said, "All right, I hear you, get up." ”
Melva still didn't move. I don't know what's going on, it's a bit awkward.
Melva's mouth moved, and he whispered, "Where's your sword?"
I said, "What do you want a sword for, do you want to fight it alone? I'm not afraid of you...... Oh...... I remembered, I'm sorry, I've never participated in a similar event, I've never eaten pork, and I almost forgot how pigs run. With that, I drew my scimitar and rested it on Melva's shoulder, completing the knightly allegiance salute.
Melva's face was a little ugly, after all, knightly allegiance salutes concluded with scimitars were indeed very rare. But I'm pretty sure, Melva isn't a proper knight, so I don't need to use a proper sword.
Melva asked, "My lord, what are your plans now?"
I remembered what I was going to do, and asked Melva: "Where is this, how far is it from Djerkhala, and how many men do you have?"
"This is at the northwestern end of the Kulen Mountains, near the village of Sailen, half a day's journey from Djerkhala, and I have about 200 sisters on my hands...... Are we going to take Djerkhala?"
I wiped my sweat: "No, we are going to hijack a prisoner cart in the middle of the road, and I suspect that my people are being held inside." It's just that after such a long delay, I don't know if they arrived in Djerkhala. ”
Melva said: "It's okay, we have ambushed and monitored on the way to Djerkhala, such a large target of a prisoner cart team, if it passes, there will definitely be news, you don't have to worry, let's go to the road and prepare first." ”
I said, "Okay, but you've set up an ambush on the road, and you dare to say that you've been robbing roads for a long time?" ”
Melva blushed and said, "Everywhere, I'm just here to monitor the footsteps of the catastrophe." ”
No sooner had I come to the side of the road leading to Djerkhala and laid an ambush than I saw the clouds in front of me suddenly rise as if someone had punched me, and a dome was raised heavily. I was immediately overjoyed.
Then I heard a clear voice, as if it was ringing in my ears. The voice whispered: "Dryer, you will attract their attention in front later, and I will attack with a bow and arrow in the back, they will never think of such a way of fighting." ”
"Well......" I said to the oncoming wave of air, "I've been defeated by you two idiots." ”
Then I galloped towards the place where the cloud was raised, followed by Melva and her two hundred sisters.
Running out for about 30 miles, turning a small forest, I saw a bunch of people on the avenue in front of me, nearly 100 prisoner carts piled up in a chaotic mess on the avenue, the ground was full of arrows, a figure was in the middle of the avenue, surrounded by a group of people fighting, this person roared again and again, but could not rush out of the crowd, it was the dryer. The other fell to the ground in a decadent manner, pointed at two or three spears, and it was the roar.
I noticed that there was an arrow stuck in the left butt of the dryer.
I said, "It's too much, the person who dares to shoot me is still in such a lewd place as ass shooting, the quality of this shooter is really low!"
Without saying a word, Melva commanded more than thirty of his men on horseback to rush forward, and the remaining hundred or so girls were still climbing the mountain more than ten miles behind him.
Then I swung my scimitar and pounced.
Suddenly, a cold, silvery-white figure appeared before me like lightning, and not only bounced Melva out with his horse, but also shook the girls off one by one, but at last only took the reins of my horse a little, and brought me to a halt.
I looked closely, and the white figure in front of me was Elia.
I yelled, "Just in time, Jamila, is it in the prisoner van ahead?"
Illya nodded, her face a little gloomy.
I said, "Then don't pestle, hurry up and save people!"
Illya shook her head: "Jamila is suspected of being involved in Kesto's treason, I can't save her, she needs to be reviewed by the noble senate." ”
I was stunned, and then I felt a huge anger welling up in my heart, and I shouted: "You idiot, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey, Jamila is our companion, what noble council does not council, I order you to go and rob her immediately!"
Illya shook her head: "I will not do anything that violates the laws of Rhodoc and the will of King Griffos, not only will I not rob Jamila, but I will do everything I can to prevent you from doing so." ”
I got angry and yelled, "You madman, why are you so stupid, are you and us all the way?" Okay, even if you want to take care of your bullshit Rhodok law and your idiot uncle's will, I don't expect you to help, but you have to get out of the way for me!"
Illya shook her head, she actually drew the saber at her waist: "Any violation of Rhodok's laws in front of me will not be tolerated, for whatever reason, and no matter who it is...... Even you, who have lived and died together, can't. ”
I was stunned, and I said, "Illya, are you crazy? You're drawing your sword from me, you're drawing your sword from me!" )
