Chapter 141: Like a Drowning Man
The month of the trek comes to an end, the May of roses falls, and no place is immune. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Corente was still sleeping, but was destined to be woken up—the cave was not enclosed on all sides, and a door was hidden in it—but the nobleman was not awakened by the sound of the door, and a passage appeared in the stone wall with a rumbling sound, and the Dick who was already familiar to Corrente in charge of guarding him entered, and under his rough and ordinary appearance, his body was muscular, and he easily picked up Corent, who was still asleep, and put a rope around his neck.
"Oh my God, what's going on?!" said Korent, who only woke up when the rope that connected him to the top lifted him up, kicked his legs, and exclaimed in relief when he realized that he could still stand.
"You have been sentenced to death, sir. Dick said calmly, as if talking about today's breakfast.
Corente was still dazed, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head: "What are you talking about?"
"Sir, you're going to die. Dick repeated.
"Oh, you're making a joke, look at the rope around my neck......" Collente laughed, his voice echoing through the cave, "You're doing a good job!"
"I'm not kidding. ”
After Dick finished speaking, there was a sudden force from above, and Korente was hoisted up! Korente finally understood that this was not the end of the opening, and his wide eyes were filled with fear.
"Let go of me!Help!Help!Didn't my father send for the ransom?!You must have mistimed, let me go!" Corente screamed like one of those singing actresses in a theater - perhaps Corente had never realized that kind of potential before.
"Your father did send someone, but he said he was going to give up on you. ”
"How is this possible!"
"Here's the proof, sir—look at your family's token. Dick showed what he was holding to Corent, who was still hanging, and he "lifted" himself with all his might, and was put down for the time being—Corent fell to the ground, and before he could even get up, he crawled towards Dick and snatched the token from his hand.
That badge did indeed belong to the Brilan family, and Corrente would not be mistaken.
"Arentia is on top!" Corente felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was about to faint.
But the rope tightened again, and Colone came to his senses again, and he hurriedly saved Dick's stout legs, his head was pulled back, and tears were about to well-up from his eyes: "Why? Why did my father give up on me!"
"Because you gave away the secrets of the family, sir. "Dick doesn't look like a stupid big man in Corrant now, but like a ruthless judge.
"The secret of the family! I swear to Erentia! I don't say anything!"
"Then you can go and swear to Arentia yourself. You're no longer useful!" Dick seemed to announce his death.
"No! no!" Collente shouted three words, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind - of course, in the eyes of many, this was not wisdom at all, but a cry of desperation, "Damn the Brielans! Please let me go! I will tell you the real secret! It is a secret that will destroy a family! If you know it, you can get a great reward if you report it to the king!"
But Dick didn't listen to what he said, and he took two steps back - Corente didn't have much to eat, and no amount of strength was already exhausted.
Korente watched his only pillar fade away, his eyes full of dark clouds of despair.
"Is that true? Then the crisp female voice that had impressed Corrente sounded again, and only the silver-haired woman's face was seen as far as the people below could see—and she made a gesture to Dick.
Dick immediately stopped.
"Dear Miss, of course it's true!" said Korent, who was covered in sweat.
"There's nothing here to prove what you're saying. Eureka added.
"No, no, as long as you listen carefully to what I say, you can know that this is a big secret!"
"Then tell me your secret—I promise you life and liberty, and if you speak well enough, it will be much more attractive than Erentia, who has not helped you at all. ”
"Of course, of course!" Corent's eyes lit up—a month of poverty had made him forget the pride and deeds of the nobility, and though it was incredulous, he was now very sure of Eureka's words.
You must know that she is the one who saved herself from death.
"Dick, give him a chair and let him talk about it. Dick turned, strode out, and quickly took a chair from the outside and placed it behind Corent's ass.
Collent's affection for Eureka rose a lot, and he sat down, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around, "Can I have a glass of water?"
Dick was unmoved, however, for Eureka glanced at him, and then gestured backwards, and the rope tightened a little tighter—and at once Korente was pulled up from his chair and hung in the air.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not going to ask for anything!"
"Dick, give him water—the people in the back listen, and if he says another word I don't want to hear, let him die. Eureka's words made Korente shudder.
Corente was put down again, and this time he drank the water and was honest: "Miss, I think you should know that the deadliest crime of the nobility is the loss of loyalty, and therefore the crime of collaborating with the country is the most serious one. ”
"I know what this is for? Is it true that you Brilan are accused of collaborating with the enemy?"
"It's true! The Haysoms are scapegoats!"
"Oh, the poor Hazens, I remember that only two of them escaped to the sanctuary - how do you know?"
"That was five years ago - I wanted to go to my father that day for the money I lost in a horse race - but as soon as I was standing outside the door that day, I heard the words 'Shevrin' and 'Grede' coming from the study, and the man who was talking to my father spoke with a thick accent from the Principality of Ansendil.
I didn't know what was going on, but I opened the door as I always did and saw that the man had given my father a letter. ”
"It seems that it was a letter that convicted the Haysom family of collaborating with the enemy," said Eureka, "but I still don't know what the Brielon family will gain, and I don't think you have told me something." ”
As he spoke, Korente felt as if the rope around his neck was tightening again.
