(Preview: Coming tomorrow)

"Percy Robinson?"

Wells was stunned. Just listen to Percy Robinson continue to ask:

"You look like an officer, and if you name it, maybe I remember. The Genoese Civil Defense was taken prisoner so quickly, what a vulnerable, wasted so much money, and thankfully Sean was expelled from the Civil Guard, otherwise he would have come with me. What a pity!"

I don't know if I'm disappointed in Sean?

"You're Mr. Percy Robinson of the Robinson family?" Wells couldn't believe it, "I'm Chief Instructor Herbert Wells. ”

"I've heard your name, as the vice-chairman of the Military Materiel Review Committee, but I didn't expect to meet you in this scenario. If you can, it's better to never see each other. Percy threw away his teasing and asked, "Tell me how you were defeated?"

Wells smiled miserably: "This is a group of rookies who were attacked by werewolves in the middle of the night without being caught off guard. They collapsed within minutes of the werewolf attack, and the soldiers who were willing to fight, could not even find a weapon. ”

"Looks like they're back in their lair when they get their hands on it?" asked Percy.

"Yes, I guess their purpose was to get military supplies, especially gunpowder. Wells said, "I've seen them care about gunpowder along the way. ”

"That's right. Percy glanced up at the werewolf guards walking around the cellar, "The job they let the slaves do is to make grenades, so in addition to smelting iron, they are making earth powder. ”

Wells gave Percy a serious look, his expression very complicated. Percy was a little surprised by his eyes:

"You don't have any special hobbies, do you?"

"This ...... I'm curious to know, Mr. Robinson, that you did that thing?" asked Wells tentatively, "and on my departure from Vichy I heard some rumors about the Robinson family, which seemed to work against you. ”

"What did I do?" said Bosic.

"Rumor has it that you poisoned the heirs of the Robinson family and nearly died......"

"What?" Posey was shocked, he pounced and tightened his grip on Wells' neck, "Tell me, what's wrong with Carl? Who poisoned him?"

Wells was overwhelmed and kicked Percy over. Percy pounced on him reluctantly, and Wells had to twist his arm and crush him underneath him.

"Let go of me, you GI!"

At this time, a werewolf came over and stabbed Wells several times with a large wooden stick.

Wells felt like he was going to be stabbed in the back.

After the werewolf walked away scolding, Posey calmed down, lowered his voice, and asked eagerly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Wells told everything he knew, he was a strict soldier, not a gossip person, but the matter was so uproarious that even he knew a lot of details in the barracks.

Posey was dumbfounded and muttered to himself, "Thank goodness Carl is okay, the Robinson family owes Sean another great favor." ”

He shed tears:

"God testifies, how could I harm my nephew? This is the only blood of my revered cousin. I lost my brother and then my parents, and my cousin is as tall as my father in my eyes, how could I hurt Carl?"

"Mr. Robinson, how are you locked up here?" Wells asked, Posey not looking as sinister as the rumors.

"To be honest, I don't know. "One night I was about to go to bed when two strangers appeared in the room, and they carried me out of the house with muskets and into a carriage. Then they forced me to drink a potion, and when I woke up, I was here, enduring the smell of urine on these ugly werewolves every day!"

Wells looked at Percy with a very strange look:

"They seem to have preferential treatment for you?"

Percy nodded: "Compared to the poor slaves, it is true, they let me do light work, and have an extra piece of black bread a day than the slaves." Maybe the people who kidnapped me have some ulterior pact with the werewolves.

I've been waiting for them to make a condition, if it's a ransom, my cousin-in-law will definitely pay the money, no matter how much. But when I met you today, you told me about the terrible things that happened to my nephew. ”

Speaking of this, Percy whispered, "I must find a way to escape, or I will bear such a big stigma that I will not be able to turn a blind eye." Don't you want to run away?"

Wells nodded.

"Then we're all in this together. ”

Percy was apparently a very optimistic man, and Wells asked himself if he was dead at the time of his captivity, and that he could not expect the werewolves to demand ransom from Genoa.

At dawn the next day, Wells was woken up by the werewolves with sticks.

Of course there is no breakfast. He and his own equally hungry soldiers were grouped together to do the heaviest work, digging coal.

Here, the werewolves found an open-pit coal mine, and the coal dug up was used to smelt iron. The raw materials of iron were all snatched from the bottom of the mountain by werewolves, iron locks, horseshoes, hoes, iron plowshares and even kitchen knives.

The werewolf ordered the captured blacksmith to melt the iron tools and make broadswords and axes, as well as the iron casings used to make grenades.

Wells was responsible for digging coal, the most physically demanding job, because the people who had been tortured before him had died. They had to go down into the deep pit where they had been dug and carry heavy coal baskets full of coal and stone on their backs.

If you move a little slower, you will attract the werewolf's merciless whip.

Posey was undoubtedly the most favored man, and he was only responsible for sweeping and collecting the coal that had been spilled on the ground.

After a tiring day, Wells harvested a few whip marks and a small piece of black bread, which was harder than coal and smaller than a fist.

Outside the cellar, there was a woman's cry. It was the werewolf who was humiliating the newly captured women, who had become their tools for venting their desires.

"Here you go!" Percy pulled a piece of brown bread from his bosom and handed it to Wells.

"Where did you get that?" said Wellskey.

"There was a guy who couldn't hold on, and he was clutching the piece of black bread before he died. "Posey said," the guy said he had been a cook. Ha, cook!"

Percy burst into tears.

"Damn bastard!" Wells scolded in a low voice.

"Save some effort. Percy shoved the bread into Wells' hand, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He now misses the soft bed and the good wine. Here, he seemed to have lived for a hundred years, and every day he saw death and the most miserable slavery in the world.

Those werewolves claim that their ancestors were treated unjustly by humans, and they are not doing evil? This is nothing more than the natural law of nature.

"I must get out of here!" said Posey.

"But it's hard, these werewolves are very well guarded. I saw a guy trying to escape and was caught, cut off by a werewolf, and died a tragic death. Wells said, the horrific spectacle that made his heart tremble.

For the next few days, the two continued to work every day.

When Wells comes back every night, he will have a few more whip marks on his body, and his exhaustion and hunger have surpassed the fear of death, I am afraid that it will not be long before he is called "wood" in the mouth of the werewolf leader, right?

There were at least three hundred such "woods" in what appeared to be a makeshift camp of werewolves. And the rotting "wood" is innumerable.

Percy was taken to the "palace" of the wolf king Worf, a natural cave that, unlike what he had imagined, was very dry and clean.

Percy even saw a simple desk.

The wolf king Worf sat on his desk and wrote something, apparently werewolves are not as uncivilized as human legends say, they also have a civilization similar to that of humans, but their energy is more focused on fighting the harsh environment.

Behind Wolf stood a werewolf in leather armor, and in front of him sat a guy wearing a snake mask on his head.

Percy stared angrily at the "snake".

Seeing that Percy was brought in, Wolf put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm sorry, I've been busy these days, and I've been slow to treat my guests. ”

"Guest?" Percy said with a smile, "If you need a ransom, the Robinsons are willing to offer you the amount." ”

"No, no!" Wolf shook his hairy hand on the back of his hand, "I don't care which family you're from. You are only a captive of my friend or ally, and I am only providing a place to hold you, and he has already paid for it, and he is very generous. ”

"Who is it? I want to find such a generous friend. "Posey Road.

"Don't worry, in fact you've seen it, and maybe you'll be set free soon. That's why you've been treated preferentially. "Now allow me to introduce to Venerable Mr. Robinson the representative of my ally, Mr. Snake." ”

"Okay, you guys talk slowly. Wolf took the initiative to leave with his men.

Only this Mr. Snake and Percy were left in the cave.

"You're angry, are you trying to kill me?" the snake said.

"Of course!" Posey did not deny, "it is not polite to throw away your mask." ”

Beneath the snake mask was a chuckle: "We don't have to discuss these inconsequential matters. Now we're talking about a deal. ”

"I have nothing to trade, especially since I don't know who I'm trading with!" said Percy coldly, "I can't do what I call a deal when you poison my nephew with despicable and shameless means. Can you rebels do whatever it takes to achieve your goals?"

"For the sake of the divine ends, drastic means are necessary. You nobles and privileged are a bunch of scavenging vultures, and you are not qualified to talk about fair treatment. Should your nephew be born noble, and is he born nobler than a farmer's son?" said the serpent in a very unkind tone, "I have heard that Mr. Percy Robinson often speaks in his private salon of Poitou about liberty, fraternity, and, yes, equality. What is equality? This is not a handout from your privileged strata to the people, nor is it a bone that you throw out after you oppress the common people!"

With that, the snake took out a small glass bottle from his inner pocket, the kind of glass bottle with white powder that Percy had seen before, and the man who had taken him out and smoked it.

The snake took out the glass stopper, then lifted the corner of the mask and sucked a part of the powder with one nostril.

The snake's body seemed to tremble, and its eyes were misty. Percy felt that he could make a move, and then the snake's right hand flicked and a dagger flew over Posey's forehead, cutting off a lock of his hair.

The dagger pierced deep into the cracks in the stone.

Percy turned pale with fright.

"No prey has ever escaped from my hands. "The snake is back to normal.

He raised the glass bottle in his hand: "Know what this is?"

Percy said: "Probably opium or something." ”

The snake snapped its fingers, "That's right." But this 'fairy powder' is much more powerful than opium, because it brings calm, courage, strength, and it also makes it impossible for the user to escape its control. Once addicted, the person will not be able to get rid of it, because once they cannot get it, the person will take out their organs alive and eventually die a tragic death. ”

Seeing that Percy didn't answer, the snake said, "I'm going to let Mr. Robinson try fairy powder, just to see if you can be an exception." ”

"What are you going to do?" Percy was furious and frightened.

"We just want you to be an earl. Haven't you thought about it?"

"You have designed the poison and laid the blame on my head, I have become a wanted criminal, how can I be an earl?" asked Percy rhetorically.

"Didn't the officer who lived with you tell you that it was all the 'snake' who did it, because there is evidence at both scenes, and you are only suspicious. All we need is to prove that you are innocent, such as the origin of the silver kettle, who made it, and the evidence of who gave it to your cousin. ”

The snake tries to show patience and kindness, but the mask is so vicious and vicious to Percy.

"Have you been planning since a few years ago?"

Percy was shocked to see a pair of silver kettles, one of which his cousin had given to him when he was in the Holy City to take back to his southern homeland.

"Haha, we didn't expect your cousin to give one to his son, he really dotes on his heir!" Snake laughed, "and this forced us to add a follow-up plan, which is to make you the Earl of Rhohneburg." Perfect plan!"

"I'm not going to let you get away with it, bed bugs, vultures!" Posey stood up angrily.

Several strong men poured in from outside the cave, and they pressed Percy to the ground, pinched his nose, poured fairy powder into his mouth, and poured cold water into it.

"Don't worry, I'll leave this precious medicine, and we'll see you in half a month!"

Percy choked on tears and was carried back to his cellar by several strong men.

As soon as the men were gone, he shoved his fingers down his throat and stirred so hard that he vomited.

The gastric juice turned upside down, and a foul smell permeated. Even so, he still felt chills and convulsions, and he lay on the ground in pain, extremely nauseous, and his skin became dull to the touch.

When Wells returned in the evening, he saw that Posey was not in good shape. Percy grabbed Wells by the collar and said word for word:

"Live or die!"
