36.chapter 34 the inquiry

In the previous inquiry, Zed's attitude was obviously polite, how did he change when he came to this guy's side?

Could it be that you look at your face?!

Zed: "Alright, coward, you should know what I'm here for, so now explain it to me!"

The guy named Novan was lying on the bed, his face flushed with anger, his breathing was rapid, and his chest was heaving violently.

Li Yao was really afraid that he would die of anger all of a sudden, but after gasping for a while, his chest calmed down again, his face turned gray, and his voice was a lot hoarse:

"Okay, I said put the sword down. ”

The arrogant attitude actually made this guy obedient. Zede had a cold face, and put his sword back into its sheath: "Tell me quickly, how did you escape?"

Novan still looks like a prime man on half of his face, but his hair is half gray, and he looks at the ceiling, his eyes are a little hollow:

"I knew I would suffer such retribution, because I used to do this to others, and now that I think about it, I really regret it."

Zed: "I'm not here to hear you repent. ”

Novan: "Alas, I beg you, just let me start at the beginning"

Zed frowned, acquiescing. Li Yao had never seen Zede like this, and in his impression, although this blonde boy was a bit bad, he would not look like he was like now, he would be a completely bad person.

Novan: "I used to be a very famous warrior, I admired strength, I liked to fight and conquer, so my fists were very famous in the area where I lived. ”

"Later, the evil dragon appeared, as a brave man, of course I have to challenge, after all, no matter how powerful I am, I am also a civilian, the princess can represent the royal family, if it is not for a miracle, we civilians will not be able to touch it in a lifetime. ”

"Everyone wants to be noble, and as a self-proclaimed warrior, I am even more obsessed with the fantasy that I will one day enter high society, so I go to Tari despite the dissuasion of my friend Agas. ”

Although the sun is shining very brightly now, when it comes to this, Novan unconsciously shuddered: "That tower is really terrifying, I went there relatively early, and there are not many white bones under the tower, but those rotting corpses still make me feel terrified involuntarily." ”

"I carried my sword and entered the dark tower I can't describe it too accurately, in short, it was a very powerful monster, said it was a dragon, but it had rough hair, I couldn't cope with it in the dark, I barely relied on the wind generated when its wings were gelding, I barely judged its position, but that thing was very fast, I basically relied on raising my sword to stab against it, and I was lucky, I happened to pierce the sword into its right leg, I still remember clearly, the thing let out a sharp and terrible cry, and scratched my face with its claws, and I became what I am today!”

The expression on Novan's face was horrified, and it was clear that he had not been able to completely shake off the psychological shadow that had been on him that day. Zed listened to his description and asked:

"And how did you get out?"

Novan took several deep breaths before he could barely continue: "After I was scratched, all my courage ran away at once, and I felt so frightened that I suddenly came to my senses and said to myself, 'Dude, what kind of stupid thing are you doing!' , so I immediately let go of the sword in my hand, ran in one direction, and then ran along the wall, and finally found the exit when I came, and then I was saved!"

Zed: "There must have been people who tried to escape before you, but why are you the only ones who survived?"

Novan: "Maybe it was because I stabbed the monster, and it was night, I ran out of the tower, and in order to hide myself from being discovered, I got into the pile of dead people, and I escaped!"

Li Yao was shocked when he heard this: "Pile of dead people?!"

"yes!" Cold sweat broke out on Novan's head, "I was seriously injured at the time, and I was surrounded by unlucky ghosts who had died, and there were maggots crawling on top of it! The stumbling movement, and the fear for my own life, scared me almost fainted, I was really afraid that I would die with these people like this, even now, I still often have nightmares, those people in my dreams, some of them are missing skulls and some of their eyeballs are dragged out, they all reach out to me, let out the laughter like the monster screaming, trying to drag me over!" Novan said at the end, his face turned white and his eyes were full of fear.

Li Yao also listened to the sweat in one hand, and comforted: "Fortunately, it's all over, brother, it's okay." ”

Novan nodded stiffly, and looked at Zed again: "What I said is my real experience, I only told my friend Agas about this matter, the people in the village, they all thought I was dead, and I sometimes preferred that I really die like a warrior, rather than like now, a wasted person, and always suffer mental torture." ”

Zed: "I see, then, did you see the legendary princess in the tower that day?"

Novan: "I just thought I was going to die soon, so I didn't know about it, but since many people had seen the blonde lady at the top of the tower, the legend should be true." ”

Li Yao: "I've always wondered about this, why did the evil dragon kidnap the princess?"

Novan: "I don't know, or maybe the dragon just wants to prove himself? Just like I was back then." ”

Zed joked, "Or maybe the dragon is just following traditionβ€”after all, legendary dragons like to do it." ”

The atmosphere eased a lot, and Novan laughed: "Thank you, it makes me feel good to say this, but I still have to tell you, it's too dangerous there, you're still young, you shouldn't die because of this." ”

Zed didn't answer, just got up and waved his hand, and left the house.

When I went down the mountain, the wind still did not stop, and the leaves of the birch trees rustled when the wind blew them.

"Novan is a brave man," commented Li, "and if it were me, I wouldn't have had the courage to burrow into the pile of the dead." ”

Zed walked ahead of him, and his voice was not very clear: "That's if you don't have the situation, you would do that." ”

Li Yao: "Maybe." ”

Zed: "And I told you earlier"

Li Yao really didn't hear it clearly, against the wind, Zede's words were blown away: "What did you say?"

"Nothing. ”

Only this sentence is the clearest to hear.

When she returned to the borrowed place, it was already evening, and the peasant woman had been looking at the door, and when she saw them, she greeted them again and again:

"You're finally back, I thought something was wrong"

When Li Yao entered the house, he saw that the food had already been set on the table, and the two children yesterday were roasting their hands in front of the fireplace, giggling and laughing.

"Hasn't our other companion come back yet?"

The peasant woman replied, "God bless me yet." ”

Li Yao: "God forbid." ”

When the two children heard this, they also drew a cross on their chests and said with a smile, "God forbid." ”

Li Yao felt hungry, sat down and began to eat, and by the way, he motioned for Zede to eat with him, but Zede refused him, and only asked the peasant woman to bring the food to his room, and left.

Probably because of the rules of what rank, he thought, and asked the peasant woman by the way: "I see that you only have you and your children in your house, so why do you live in such a big place?"

Peasant woman: "Originally, there were many people living here, including my husband, my two brothers, and my eldest son, but they all died under the tower. ”

Li Yao: "Why? Do they all want to challenge the dragon?"

The peasant woman may have accepted this qiΔ“, and when she talked about the past, her ordinary face did not have too much sadness, but said calmly:

"My husband and my brother, though they have no power or power, but they are very dutiful, but my eldest son, who has committed the old mistake of a young man, and wants to get ahead too much, went to the tower and died there, while my husband and brother died looking for my son. ”

"I'm sorry to hear that"

The peasant woman nodded, and hugged the two children by the fireplace: "I don't ask for anything else, the two children of the clerk can grow up safely, it's okay." ”

The children were playing, and they probably only heard a word or two about the adults' conversations, but the younger Sisr rolled his eyes, raised a hand, and shouted:

"I'm going to take down the dragon!"

The older Hansen also responded: "I will also fight the evil dragon, I am a brave man!"

The peasant woman's expression changed, and she slapped them twice on the ass mercilessly:

"Didn't I say you weren't allowed to say such things, naughty guy!"

The children felt pain, and although there were no tears, they also howled and cried, and they wanted to do it against the peasant woman:

"I don't, I want to fight the dragon and marry the princess!"

"Fight the dragon and marry the princess!"

The peasant woman was even more angry, and taught them a hard lesson, and the child really cried now, and didn't care about anything, and began to talk nonsense.

After all, in front of outsiders, the peasant woman said sorry to Li Yao, and took the two children under her armpits one by one and got them back to the room.

The bear children sometimes have to beat, and Li Yao thinks that the peasant women should give them some hardship to eat.

Anyway, when I was young, I was obedient.

It seems so.

As he was recalling, the door opened, and it was Yang Ming who came in, who didn't seem to be injured on the outside, but it might have been blocked by the cloak.

"Nothing happened to you, did you?"

"It's all right," Yang Ming said, "I didn't fight the dragon, it lay in the tower and didn't appear. ”

"Do you see the princess?"

"Well," he nodded, "I did see a blonde woman standing at the top of the tower, looking east for a long time, and then going back. ”

This news, which was confirmed by Yang Ming, greatly aroused Li Yao's curiosity.
