Chapter 338: Ransom for the Captives

This is the scene behind the gate.

The female assistant and goddess Lori stopped her steps, and looked at it in a little surprise, what is really a little beyond imagination, what is that...... Generally speaking, the courtyards of the Western world are very open, that is to say, as soon as you enter the door, the courtyard is a large, open space, and you can basically see the location of the main house at a glance.

But it's not here, it's a completely different shape, and what you see is a wall, not to mention wide and big, and the height is also quite amazing, oh! If it is said that it is this wall, then it is more appropriate to describe it with a city wall, and it is indeed so, how can an ordinary wall be so exaggerated as the wall in front of you.

What kind of shape and structure is a bit similar to the wall of the Oriental world, oh! More correct to say that it should be the design of the urn city, oh! That's right, that's right, it's the design of the urn city, it's not what the wall, such a design is completely out of military needs, and in many medieval castles can often see such a design, although it is a little strange and strange for modern Westerners, but in that war-torn era, it is a normal design.

Aesthetics and other things can also be considered, but there is no doubt that the highest priority is undoubtedly practicality, that is, war!

There is no doubt about that, and there is no doubt about it.

The structure of the courtyard here also absolutely follows this point.

In addition, there are all kinds of instruments, strange instruments, all over the places that the eye can see, and among them, there are also on the urn city in front of you, what is it...... What did you see?

The female assistant was a little suspicious of her eyes, but finally confirmed, although it was a bit amazing, but after all, it was still reality, after all, it was such a close distance, and there was no real problem with her eyes?

The artillery that was placed between the bunkers of the Urn City...... The female assistant was a little unrecognizable to the bows and crossbows, and all the other things, but it was clear that she could tell the general purpose of those things at a glance, and there was no doubt that they were all weapons of war.

But......

It's just so weird, okay!

Isn't it the home of a master chef, but how does it look like the home of an ancient medieval knight?

Oh, in fact, this is not contradictory at all, after all, since ancient times, it has been the family of knights, and as for the master chef, it is the descendants of later generations who have changed careers after discovering their new talents.

"It's amazing, there are even artillery...... This kind of decoration is really amazing!" Goddess Lori exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widened, obviously she also saw the cannon placed on top of the urn city, but she didn't think much about it, just made her evaluation according to the thoughts that flashed in her heart.

Is it just decoration?

The female assistant is extremely skeptical of this, so what...... These are real people, right? What are they...... Even if the female assistant doesn't do much in the military, what is well maintained from it, and the bright cold light emitted under the sunlight has such a certain degree of feeling, all of them are real guys, and they are killing weapons that can be used with ammunition.

Damn it......

It's just an ordinary family, why is there such a thing?

The female assistant frowned fiercely, looking extremely confused, what ...... It's a headache.

"Let's go this way, ......" Ruud Archer smiled and walked in front, but he didn't care about the surprise and trouble of the two guests, of course he had long been accustomed to it, of course, this is also a matter of course, after all, he has grown up in such an environment since he was a child, and most of the equipment here is also maintained by his own hands.

"It's amazing, where did you buy these things, it's really good, I'm going to buy a set and put it at home!" said Goddess Lori with great interest, her eyes kept turning, looking at the things in front of her, and said excitedly.

"Hehe, this young lady, these things are not bought, but have been handed down from generation to generation from their ancestors!" Ruud Archer replied, turning his head to look at the goddess Lori.

"What, it's been handed down from generation to generation, so all these things are antiques, oh, and it's a real thing!" Goddess Lori was taken aback when she heard this.

What's that,It's obvious that she's seeing these things in front of her.,It's all a modern imitation of that craft.,Of course, it's not surprising that the goddess Lori would have such an idea.,After all, in modern times, who would put some real guys in their own homes here.,So what...... Aren't you afraid that the police uncle will come to the door, of course, even if you don't care about this, then what these can be called antique-level things, what are exposed to the wind and rain all day long, it is also quite damaging to its structure, so in terms of the value of its antiques, it will be greatly reduced.

That's more than worth the loss.

It should be properly stored in the warehouse, but it should not be taken out casually.

"Of course it's a real guy!" Ruud Archer smiled, and he replied very kindly to the little girl's innocent words, Ruud Archer's attitude at this time can be described as quite good, but there is no for tat at the gate.

The female assistant completely ignored the conversation between the goddess Lori and Ruud Archer, her attention was more focused on observing the surrounding environment, and she firmly remembered everything she saw in her mind, even if it was useless, but it was also a habit, so as long as she arrived in a new place, she would immediately have such reactions and actions, which could be regarded as a kind of vigilance and caution for her own safety, right?

Eyes turned, and suddenly the female assistant couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"Ahh

"What do you see?" asked the goddess Lori strangely, hearing the screams of the female assistant and noticing her actions, the goddess Lori also turned her head.

As for Ruud Archer, he still had a smile on his face, a look of disapproval, and looked at the female assistant with a smile, as if he was a little amused by his surprised reaction.

"This is ......" An angry look appeared on the female assistant's face, she jerked her arm up, ignored the pain in her shoulder, pointed upwards vigorously, and shouted, "This is our people, quickly put them down for me!"

"Ahh......h

It's really amazing!

So what...... It's unbelievable.,Goddess Lori has never seen such a scene since she was a child.,What's that...... High up in the sky, above a mechanism of many cleverly designed pulleys and chains, human bodies were hanging in the middle of a huge web, hanging them in the air as if they were the food of a spider's reserve, and all of them did not react at all, and it was as if they were dead in the web.

At first glance, it's really scary.

And the goddess Lori was obviously scared.,It's just that that's not the point.,The real point is that these people broke into this gate before.,The bodyguards in the pro-army under the command of the goddess Lori.,Although I don't know how they fell into the net.,And how they were hung in the air.,But obviously there is no doubt about one thing.,That is, these people in front of you are her subordinates.,Therefore......

Goddess Lori also has to do something?

It's just that of course the female assistant is already starting to prepare for something!

"Our people, hurry up and put them down, what have you done to them!" said the female assistant angrily, although it is a bodyguard, but as a pro-military existence, it is actually not much different from the family, and at first glance, seeing that her family is hanging in the air like this, how can the female assistant's heart remain calm.

"Are you kidding, what are your people, to me, they are just some invaders!" Ruud Archer kept smiling, but the words in his mouth did not have the slightest smile, on the contrary, there was a faint coldness, it was obvious that this was a kind of Guardian's resentment and hatred against the invaders.

So what......

This is exactly the attitude that only comes to the enemy.

Ruud Archer's gaze turned cold, as if it was the female assistant in front of her, and if she continued like this, she would become an enemy, so even though she was actually an enemy, the female assistant who was invited could be regarded as a situation where the two countries would not go to war, but if this continued, then what would not be cut or something, would immediately become an empty word.

In fact, Ruud Archer is also quite interested in killing such a thing.

"Intruders, even if they are intruders, but you hang them like this...... This is too much!" The female assistant said angrily, even if she was a little aware of Ruud Archer's change in attitude, but it was clear that she didn't intend to ignore the scene in front of her, after all, it was still too much, for her.

"Yes, Mr. Archer, even if it is an intruder, they are now punished, you let them go, I thank you!" Goddess Lori also said at this time, for these pro-army bodyguards, she also has feelings, after all, it is also like a family to her.

"I'm sorry, it's actually just hanging with a net, which is already the greatest tolerance, otherwise it's just hanging the neck with a rope!" Ruud Archer shook his head slowly, he couldn't agree with the words of the female assistant and goddess Lori, and naturally it couldn't be executed, his words were very indifferent.

"What, do you still want to prepare for the disregard of human life, do you think it's still the Middle Ages?" The female assistant immediately raised her voice and shouted loudly, obviously she was really quite angry, how could there be such a person in this world, did he know what he was talking about, just say such excessive words, was this guy in front of him born in the wrong era?

At this time, the female assistant had such a feeling.

"Hanging...... Hang them? No, Mr. Archer, you must not hang them, I can, I can give you a lot of money, by the way, the rules of the Middle Ages, there are also such rules, I have seen in books before, as their family, I can spend money to ransom them, by the way, this is it, this way, Mr. Archer, what do you think?" Goddess Lori suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly spoke, looking very self-righteous, she looked at Ruud Archer in front of her with eager eyes.

And at this time, Rude Archer was also slightly stunned, but of course it was not because of the words of the female assistant, but because of what the goddess Lori said.

"Such rules really exist!" Archer nodded, what is about ransom to redeem prisoners, it is indeed very common in the Middle Ages, of course, more precisely, it is simply an unspoken rule, what nobles can not be killed, the real war between the two sides, even if it involves the country, as long as it is not a war between peoples, basically it will not be aimed at killing each other, of course, even if it is killed, it is only to kill civilians, for nobles or something, at most it is just to be injured, and then captured.

Then it's time to demand the ransom.

In fact, generally speaking, most wars in the Middle Ages were actually aimed at extorting money, and the soldiers of the medieval era, who claimed to have fought hundreds of miles of invincible towns nearby, did not fail to do so, and even the most glorious one, almost captured the king of a country.

It's just that after all, the times are far away, and such a thing is completely illegal in modern times, so what is basically kidnapping and ransom.

Oh, that's right, that's the crime.

It seems that the medieval set doesn't work now, so it's no wonder that Ruud Archer didn't think about things in this direction at all in the first place, so this is also a blind spot in the mind, but now that I think about it, it is exactly the case.

Such rules do exist.

"That's great, in this case, please ask Mr. Archer to make a price, I can be satisfied!" Goddess Lori immediately said quite generously, there is no bargaining at all, so even in the Middle Ages, there is a ransom question about such a thing as a bargain, just like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, of course, although it seems to be a little disrespectful to the captive, but there is no way, as a captive is originally no human rights.

If you want to be respected, don't be a captive.

And since you're a captive, don't think about anything.

After all, bargaining for such a thing is one of the most basic human instincts, so even in such a thing is unavoidable.

Therefore, in this way, you can only follow and get used to it.

It's just that Ruud Archer didn't have the idea of bargaining at this time, so in fact, he didn't plan to make a bargain at all.

Shaking his head, Rude Archer was quite sure that the goddess Lori in front of him could think of this, so it was obvious that the female assistant had not thought of this matter at all, and this matter was obviously more operable than the unreasonable request of the female assistant, but ......

Ransom or anything, Ruud Archer didn't have the slightest intention of collecting it.

What, after all, times are different.

It's just a matter of arresting and torturing it for a while, it's a harmless thing, even if the local law enforcement agencies know about it, it's a harmless thing, after all, who in the vicinity doesn't know the consistent traditions of this town, so what, coupled with the local people's local protection policy, it doesn't matter what kind of thing.

But......

If it involves ransom or something, this matter is not so simple.

Ruud Archer didn't imagine the words of the goddess Lori as a deliberate conspiracy or anything like that, but he undoubtedly had to be careful about this, then he must always occupy the righteousness, otherwise it would be trouble.

The ransom is certainly not collectible.

Otherwise, the nature of the matter would change, and it was clear that such a change was unacceptable to Ruud Archer, so he immediately replied that he would say no.

"I'm sorry, this kind of thing can't be done, although there were such rules in the Middle Ages, but in the end, the times are different, and there is absolutely no such thing in modern times!" Ruud Archer shook his head and responded.

"Why, why, why, then what are they going to do?" the goddess Lori suddenly became anxious and said quickly.

...
