Chapter II: Executions

The sky of the Giant Helmet City is cloudy, the wind is howling, and the hail of beans and snowflakes are pouring down, a weather that is rare even in the far north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was not a single figure on the streets of the huge Helmet City.

There was only a group of more than a dozen people, all dressed in silver-gray armor, holding silver spears, and at the end of the procession, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old was escorted.

Agil was thin, shivering in the snow and ice.

"Adults, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death halfway before I get to the prison."

Agil sneezed and said.

"Less nonsense, just go."

In the wind and snow, you can faintly see Ryderberg, which is the residence of the lord, built on the westernmost high point of the Great Helmet City, and it is magnificent.

……

The journey was not very long, half an hour to arrive, but for Agiel, it was like walking half a lifetime. The prison of Giant Helmet City is on the south side of the city, and it has existed since the beginning of the city, and it has a very long history. This prison is built underground and has three floors. There are two guards patrolling back and forth on each floor. Agil, on the other hand, was kept in a cell at the bottom of the third floor.

The structure of the cell was simple, with only one bed and not even a futon.

Agiel lay on the bed, curled up, his hand touching a book on his chest, which Nick Sr. had left him before he left, a notebook of Nick Sr.'s adventures on the continent as a young man.

Agil's hand caressed the book, and he couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces with Old Nick.

In a daze, Agil fell asleep.

When he awoke, the door to his cell had been opened, and a man in silver-gray armor had tied his hands and escorted him out of the cell.

Like Agil, seven people were escorted out of the third floor, each of them of a different shape, some with panicked expressions on their faces, others with calm.

The eight prisoners were taken out by the guards in a small line, and standing behind Aigil was a tiger man, whose face was as flat as Aigil, and he couldn't see anything.

The group was escorted out of prison.

The ice and snow in Greathelms show no signs of stopping, but it's a little smaller than last night. The weather was still so cold, and Agil couldn't help but shiver.

The four carriages had already stopped at the prison gate, and Agil and the tiger man sat in the last carriage.

Nino, a place dedicated to death row prisoners, was a small town of seven or eight families, not far west of Greathelms.

The carriage was smooth before it left the Great Helmet, but the rest of the road was a bit bumpy, the area was full of potholes, and the convoy was moving very slowly. Snow fell along the way, and the bitter cold wind howled and shook the pine trees violently. Large flakes of snow fell down on the pine tree, and its branches were covered with thick snow.

"This snow scene is so beautiful, you look at the cedars, let the wind howl, the snow raging, still immovable, really admirable." The tiger man who was sitting in the carriage with Agil looked at a certain class of cedars in front of him and sighed.

When Agil heard this, he just glanced at it and didn't say anything.

"Son, what did you do?" Tigerman continued.

"Stealing a family's jade."

"What about your parents?"

"I'm an orphan."

"Poor boy." After the tiger man said this, he stopped talking.

After a moment, Agil suddenly asked.

"Aren't the Tiger People living in the southern part of the Kadiria Continent, uncle, why did you come to a ghost place?" Agil had read the passage about the Tiger People in Old Nick's notes, and the Tiger People lived in the southern jungle more than 100,000 miles away from Giant Helmet City, and he really didn't expect to appear here.

"That's a long story......"

Uncle Tigerman's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to a few days ago.

He followed an adventuring group from the south, from south to north all the way to the mainland, just a few days ago, their adventuring group came to a hotel in Giant Helmet City, because the adventure group had a few glasses of wine, and a noble son clashed, the tiger people directly hit each other, and then they were arrested and put in prison.

"Someone from the Claif family?" Agil asked.

"How do you know?"

"The piece of jade I stole belongs to the Claif family." Although the jade was not stolen by Agil, but in this situation, it doesn't matter what he says, anyway, he is not far from death.

"Well, if that hadn't happened, I'd be on my way to the Mivor Mountains with my party mates."

"What are you going to do there?"

Agil was very puzzled, he had naturally heard of Mivol Snow Mountain, the snow mountain was surrounded by snow mountain wolves, it was extremely dangerous, and few people dared to go there.

"Our team was given a map of what seemed to be a secret buried under the snow-capped mountains of Mivor, and we wanted to go there to find out." The tiger man said, his eyes were full of regret, he was naturally adventurous, there were too many secrets of the existence of the continent in Cardiria, but he never had a chance to explore them one by one.

"Really......"

As they chatted, the carriage had stopped, and Nino Town had arrived, which also meant that they were about to say goodbye to this world.

The two stopped talking and looked ahead, the town of Nino was very small, and you could see the whole town at a glance, and it seemed a little lonely in the snow.

After the carriage stopped, several people were escorted down by the guards, and in addition to the eight prisoners, there were more than a dozen guards, and walked towards the town.

The townspeople all came out, looked at them, and talked about it.

The place of execution was in the middle of the town, where there was a three-meter-wide wooden execution table, which was stained with blood, and it looked as if the prisoner had just been executed, and the axe man who specialized in handling the prisoner was already waiting there, and next to him stood an old man who looked like a priest.

More than a dozen guards escorted the prisoners to the execution platform, and one of the guards in the lead didn't talk nonsense, directly took out a list and shouted loudly.

"Ernro!"

The prisoner named Erro trembled when he heard his name, his eyes were full of fear of death, and he was almost dragged to the execution table the whole time, and the old man who looked like a priest muttered a few words beside Erro, and the fear in his eyes seemed to be much less.

Then came the bloody scene, with the axe falling and the blood splattering on the snow on the ground, with a strange beauty.

When most of the prisoners saw this scene, their psychology was almost on the verge of collapse, and one of them couldn't bear it anymore after all, so he ran outside, but a silver spear followed and pierced his chest directly. It was the guard in the lead who threw it

As if nothing had happened, the lead guard continued to read the list.

"Agil!"

Hearing his name read, Aegil was shocked, and two guards pushed him to Xingtai.

Is it my turn?

Agil's heart is very complicated, the world is not good to him, he is an orphan, a child abandoned by his parents, living in a dark and damp sewer for more than ten years, after Old Nick died, he no longer cares, death may be a relief for him.

But when death really came, he didn't think so......

"Poor child, at such a young age, is about to say goodbye to this world." The priest walked up to Agil and lamented.

The leading guard waved his hand at the axeman, signaling him to hurry up, and the axeman saw this, and directly swung the axe and slashed at Agil's head......
