Chapter 19: See you at the moment
"The key now is that we don't even know why we're locked up, and if we know why, maybe things can turn around," Witt said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Arthur sat up, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and said, "Lin, you and Vitgo's father are friends, you should believe that we will not do bad things, will you let us go?"
"This!" Lin lowered his head slightly, "It's a felony to let go of the prisoner, I can't do this, not to mention that your family will also be in danger." Please believe the city lord, he is Mingjun, this must be a misunderstanding, as long as the misunderstanding is solved, you will be fine, I will definitely help you!
"Hmm!" said Arthur, changing the evil smile to a child's bright smile, and he thought to himself, what was the stupid thing Lin was talking about. Naine smiled politely at Hayashi, she didn't think of anything. Of the three, only Witt believed in Lin and pinned his hopes on Lin.
At dusk again, although Lin had asked him to be lenient with Arthur and them, no one in the jailers dared to bring food and water to Arthur and the others without the orders of their superiors. The jailers felt uncomfortable with this treatment of the three children, and they hoped that the superiors would give instructions as soon as possible, at least allow Arthur and them to drink water, otherwise they would have to let the prison doctor come forward soon.
While the jailers were whispering, Ubises suddenly appeared at the prison door, and one of the jailers immediately stood up when he saw him, and shouted, "My lord!"
The rest of the people looked at it at the same time, and they reacted in the same way. They all tensed and stood around Ubises with their heads bowed, waiting for his instructions.
Ubises raised his hand and shook it to signal that the crowd should not be nervous, and then he said, "I'm going to see those three, and you don't let anyone come close." β
The jailers replied loudly, "Yes!"
When Urbisses appeared outside the cell, Arthur was amused by the man's appearance. But he quickly covered his mouth and choked back the laughter. He knew it would be rude anyway.
Although Witte did not know Ubises, he couldn't help but get nervous when he saw Ubises wearing the clothes of a high-ranking official and his serious and solemn expression.
"I am Ubises, the Supreme Commander of Waumir, and I have come here to convey the decision of the lord of the city. Ubises paused deliberately and cleared his throat, "Although the marks on the corpses match your weapons, we have examined them, and there are not many wounds on each corpse, almost all of them are fatal in one hit, and the killer's fast sword technique is extremely fast, and it is accurate and ferocious, with your age and number, it is impossible to do that." So, we suspect that you are an accomplice of the bandits, and you are planning to kill your companions in order to get a bounty, perhaps you are using drugs to reduce their defenses, which would explain why you were able to kill them with one blow. β
Arthur tugged at the corners of his mouth, and for a moment, his eyes showed disdain.
He stood up and walked to the railing, and in order not to make the supreme commander feel threatened and unhappy, he deliberately crouched down and showed his respect and sincerity by looking up.
"Lord Commander, you have said so much, to sum up, you don't believe it, we killed all those bandits on our own, right?" Arthur clasped his hands on his knees, his posture was regular, he smiled, and looked relaxed, "Since it is the ability to question, how about this, let the strongest of you here fight with me, and if you lose, it means that we are not capable of defeating those bandits, then whatever you want to say, winning, it means that we are not lying, let us go, of course, the bounty must also be paid." β
Ubises looked at Arthur's relaxed expression, and did not have the slightest nervousness or timidity in the face of himself who might control their fate, and made such a request, and was secretly surprised in his heart.
Ubises slowly closed his small round eyes, and after a moment of silence, he opened them and stared at Arthur with a calm face, and after a few more moments, he said in a deep voice, "That's it, I'll go and prepare." β
After a simple word, Ubises turned and walked away. From behind, his back was still bowed, and his head seemed to be embedded in his body.
"Arthur. Werther crouched down, eye level with Arthur. Because they were next to each other, the worry on his face was in stark contrast to the ease on Arthur's face.
"Are you sure? I know you're strong, but ......"
Arthur patted Werther on the shoulder: "Not being able to accurately judge your own level is fatal, we have all suffered this loss." I need to know where my limits are, and this is my chance. β
Not long after Ubises left, a jailer came to open the door and led Arthur and them deeper into the prison.
At the end, there was a tall and heavy iron door, and the three of them stood in front of this dark gate, all with an inexplicable sense of depression and fear. With the cold and heavy grinding sound, the iron door was pushed open by the jailers on both sides, and suddenly, the smell of blood like a behemoth rushed over like a tsunami, and together with the picture displayed outside the door, it stimulated the nerves of the three of them.
Arthur somewhat understood. Although there were temporary changes, the execution ground was still the execution ground, and the location of the removed execution table could be seen by the blood stains on the ground alone.
He looked around the circular execution ground, about fifty meters in diameter, and as he looked around, Arthur calculated the time it would take to run.
In the stands, which are more than two meters high, there are people who sit in the most distinguished positions. Arthur saw that the man was dressed in jewels, crocheted with gold thread, trimmed with pure white mink, a thick red cloak, and wore a crown on his head with the same pattern as the banners fluttering on the city walls, and knew that the man who was surrounded by heavily armored soldiers was the lord of Wommere.
But Arthur wondered why the Lord of the City looked lifeless, his head hung down, his eyes were blank, as if he were looking at the execution ground, and as if he was in a dream, holding something in his arms, but he was obscured by his robe, and he couldn't see clearly.
After seeing the archers standing above and around the edge of the execution ground, Arthur's heart sank, and he began to really think about the stupid thing that Lin was talking about.
Werther and Nein looked at Arthur at the same time when they saw the archers, and just as they were about to say something, they were forcibly pulled away by the jailers.
Arthur watched as Nayin and Werther moved farther and farther away from him, he smiled and waved at them, still saying lightly, "See you later." β
While Nayin and Witt were being brought to the stands and surrounded by heavy soldiers, Arthur was pushed by the jailers to the center of the execution ground.
Ubises walked over to the fence and looked at the teenager in the execution ground below.
As in front of his cell, the Supreme Commander's face was solemn and serious, and he watched in silence for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"According to your request, you are going to defeat the strongest man in Wommel here, show your strength, and verify the possibility of the bandits being defeated by you, right. β
