Chapter 623: The Cruel Truth

"Shall we go out like this?" asked Michelle, looking at the old marquis and frowning at his nephew.

Although the death magic from Allah Delmond is magical, the Marquis of Brahadley was killed by the little ogre by violent means after all, and the huge blood hole on his body is incoherent for anyone to see, and they will not think that the old marquis can still jump alive at this time.

After a little thought, Goron had an idea, and he cast a shamanic healing wave on the corpse, which was unlikely to bring the dead back to life, but finally succeeded in repairing the huge bloody hole in the old marquis's chest. Then he covered it with a wide cloak, and the old guy looked much better.

As long as no one forcibly picks off the old marquis's clothes to check, it should not be easy for people to see the abnormality.

"Let's get out. As Golon's words fell, the three of them, no, "two people and one corpse" pushed open the door and walked out, and they were greeted by two guards with slightly nervous expressions.

The two men were dressed in plain clothes, looking no different from ordinary jailers, but only the truly strong could sense a formidable power from them. That's the kind of coercion that only a king-level powerhouse can have.

Even in the imperial capital of Montenegro, a place with a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and a place with a deep heritage, the war king-level powerhouses are not yet flooded. Being able to have two war kings who are willing to act as subordinates in front of others as personal guards, the strength of the Brahadley family has already shown the tip of the iceberg.

This ancient family was able to stand tall in the imperial capital, even in the complex and dangerous prison system. That's telling.

Before, because the relationship between the two sides was still friendly, Michelle didn't think much of it, and didn't care too much about observing the strength of the other party. But now that he has killed the other party's patriarch, there is no room for reconciliation in this grudge, and sooner or later the Huwen family and the Brahadley family will become inseparable, and a full-scale war will start, and it is destined that only one family will be left in the end.

Seeing the strength of the other party's family, how could Michel's acting patriarch be at ease.

One of the war kings on the other side sensitively caught Michelle's strange appearance, his eyes showed a hint of essence, and his nose twitched twice, as if he smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, and this smell seemed to come from his own family patriarch, which made him suddenly alert.

"Patriarch, are you feeling unwell, or are you just hurt inside?"

Although the words were addressed to the old marquis, the eyes of the war king's guards were fixed on the two of Goron, and even lowered their bodies and put on a fighting posture. And his companion, although he was a little less alert, also noticed something strange at this time, but he took a step forward, blocking between the old marquis and Huwen, to prevent him from being taken hostage.

Seeing that the situation was about to take the worst, Michelle was already nervous to take the first step. Goron flashed in his mind all kinds of deeds about the nobles of Montenegro, as well as some residual memories about Rena's sister, and he didn't have time to think about it in his mind, the fingers hidden under the cloak secretly cut a little skin on his belly, dripping a few drops of blood to the ground, and at the same time, he manipulated the old marquis and said: "What are you nervous about, just now I discussed some things with the little young master Golia of the Xiuwen family, and I was a little excited and too close, so I accidentally injured him and stained myself with blood." ”

As if to confirm the old marquis's words, the famous beautiful young man named "Golia Huwen" could only "very reluctantly" lift his cloak, revealing a trace of blood on his stomach, and then quickly covered it with a little "shame".

This scene made the two of them stunned, but they seemed to suddenly think of something, and their expressions suddenly became a little clear, a little embarrassed, and a little nervous and panicked.

Although Goron didn't know why the two of them had such a strange and complicated reaction, at least the hostility they exuded had diminished sharply, and then disappeared completely.

"Let's go...... You two lead the way in front, and we'll go see Count Amanda. "Under Golon's control, Marquis Brahadley said to the two guards.

This time, the two of them were a little hesitant, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped, as if they had some hidden intentions, but it was not good to say it directly on such an occasion.

Although he was able to completely control the old marquis's every move, Goron did not read his memory, so naturally he couldn't guess what scruples the two of them had. But he instinctively sensed that things seemed to have changed, and the Brahadley family was more complex and powerful than he had previously suspected.

Now that things have developed to this point, they simply don't do anything and change the previous plan to leave just to meet Count Amanda.

"Hou ...... Lord Marquis, I think it may not be appropriate to visit the prison today, and we should not invite these two guests back first. ”

"Hmph, my two guests and I, no, the best of friends, are going to meet their relatives, is there anything wrong with that? Don't you know that this may be their last chance to meet?"

Finding that the master they were serving was actually angry, the two of them were even a little frightened in their confusion. A dignified battle king-level powerhouse, facing an old man who could be killed in seconds by Goron, he was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized and immediately turned around to lead the way, no longer daring to question or stop anything.

Just look at the look on their faces, clearly written "Anyway, what we should do has already been done, and what happens in a while has nothing to do with us".

This time, not only the little ogre, but even Michelle, whose heart kept rising to her throat, began to sense that something was wrong.

According to her initial contact with the old marquis, the other party should have acquiesced to her permission to visit Count Amanda.

But looking at the appearance of these two guards now, it is obvious that they don't want them to go. And this certainly can't be their own intention...... This can only mean that something must have changed in the matter, causing the old marquis to suddenly change his mind, and the two of them, as personal guards, must have known something for a long time, so they will hesitate to change the old marquis's sudden decision now.

According to Michelle's original plan, they were very likely to be sent away by the old marquis's rhetoric this time, and finally returned in vain.

Under the guidance of the two men, several people made their way through the labyrinthine prison building. Most of the prisoners in the cells we passed along the way were asleep. The entire prison was silent, but when they pushed open a door that was clearly blessed by a magical barrier, they were greeted by a blushing gasp.

On either side of the corridor were special cells, each brightly lit, and the interior was so noisy that it sounded more like a midnight party than a prison cell for criminals.

The two guards led the way in front with expressionless faces, and the zombie marquis who was under control could only stroll forward with a puzzled smile on his face. Michelle, unable to suppress her curiosity, finally walked lightly to the door of one of the rooms, peeking in through the narrow gap in the railing, which did not matter, and the next moment her expression became very strange, and surprise, anger, disappointment, and doubt crowded into the woman's face.

In this cell, a young girl with a delicate face but a scrawny face was lying on a wooden table, being crushed and ravaged by a dozen tyrannical men in turn. The girl was already dying, her eyes were gouged out, the organs on her body were also mutilated, and her limbs were twisted into a very strange appearance, and the bones in them were probably not more than two centimeters long. Obviously, there was only the last half of his breath left.

Michelle immediately looked at the other cell, and the scene inside was exactly the same, except that the girl lying on the wooden table was a little more beautiful and plump, and did not have the skinny nature of low-level civilians. On the other hand, the men in this house are not so rude, and they seem to be slightly nobler, presumably either low-class nobles, or those high-ranking servants who serve the nobles and have a little status. It's just that the girl's situation is miserable, but compared with the previous one, it is even worse.

"What the hell is going on, why is such filthy and cruel things happening in prison?" said Michelle, who was so excited that he roared loudly. It's just that her voice is still too low compared to the sounds coming out of these special "cells", and only a few people in the corridor can hear it.

Goron sighed secretly, and could only explain through the mouth of the Marquis of Brahadley to the aunt, who had been deceived by illusions, "You know, prison is a boring place, and it is easy to drive people crazy. The prisoners here had to endure poor food, cold cells, and the pain of losing their freedom, but the most unbearable torture was abstinence. The only people they can touch are their own stenching kind, and their own hands. In such an environment, people naturally become irritable, violent, and constantly calculating how to escape. And the prisons where such prisoners are held are naturally difficult to manage. ”

Speaking of which, Michelle, who was not stupid, had already roughly guessed what was going on, but he still couldn't believe that it was the Marquis of Brahadley, who was known for his kindness, who said such things. Although he is now dead, and the person who controls his mouth is Goron, but looking at the expressions of the two War King guards who are indifferent and don't take it seriously at all, you can know that Golon's words are not malicious planting, let alone casual nonsense.

"The treatment of prisoners is stipulated in the ancient laws of the empire, and I have no right to change it, not to mention that I don't have the spare money to improve their treatment, so the most perfect way is to find some cheap 'tools' from the lowly civilians for the prisoners to vent their excess anger and violence in their hearts, and also divert their attention, so that they can honestly go to prison and not cause trouble for me. Of course, aristocratic prisoners and commoner prisoners still have to be treated differently, but fortunately, those commoner 'tools' can also be distinguished. ”8)
