Chapter 114: Prison
An old voice came from inside, and at Hood's signal, Du Yuhan walked through the light curtain and walked into the room.
The furnishings in the room are very unique, with tools that look like divination, feathers that look like rune totems, and parchment that hangs on the walls with strange characters. In the center of the room was an oversized tortoise shell, which, judging by the shiny cracks on the surface, should have been some years old, and at first glance it looked like the standard room of a wizard on TV.
At the end of the room was a soft couch covered with knitted fabrics of various colors, on which an old man dressed in animal fur was seated. His curly white hair was tied with a few large golden feathers, a few strings of black and smooth beads hung around his neck, and there were tattoo-like patterns on his bare arms.
Judging from the specifications of this room and the attitudes of others, this should be a character like the village chief of the village, right?
Du Yuhan silently made a conclusion.
"Hello." He respectfully bowed to the other party.
"You may be seated." The old man glanced at Du Yuhan lightly and compared the cushion in front of him.
has been in this world for so long, and this is the first time he has dealt with an "official". Although this is just a village official, I heard that the village chief of the tribe holds the power of life and death, and it is better for him, a stranger who inexplicably appeared in other people's territory, to be a man with his tail between his legs.
Waiting for Du Yuhan to sit upright in front of him, the elder slowly spoke, and his voice had a scratching feeling of sandpaper rubbing, "Don't be nervous, I know you don't belong here, I just want to understand the situation this time." β
Du Yuhan chuckled in his heart.
This sentence sounded a little ambiguous, looking at the other party's eyes that seemed to penetrate the body, Du Yuhan was a little creepy. But at the moment, he really couldn't guess what the other party meant, so he could only laugh a few times.
Your own life is in your hands, so it's no wonder if you're not nervous. He said to himself, "Please." β
"How did you get here?" Strangely, the old man did not start with the origin of the name, but directly asked about the final result.
In this regard, although he had doubts, he still cooperated to make it clear, but he concealed his identity as a model artist.
"Hmm." The old man nodded, not at all surprised that he had killed a seventh-order beast alone, and asked a little more about what he had seen when he first arrived at the grassland.
In the end, he knew almost what he should know, and he slowly reminded, "Recently, the situation outside the village has been chaotic, and I don't go out alone." The leader has something important to do, and he will not be in the village for the next few days, and I will send someone to escort the warriors out of this place after a while. β
"Thank you." Du Yuhan said gratefully.
"If you have any needs, you can ask Hood or Nicole, and they will do their best to accommodate them within their means."
Du Yuhan nodded, and at the moment when he was about to get up, he suddenly paused, "Elder, I have a request." β
"Please."
"I have a friend who came with me, but his whereabouts are unknown. I would be grateful to the elders for their help. After thinking about it, Du Yuhan added, "He is a priest of the elf clan. β
"Elves?" Sure enough, the elder showed a meaningful expression. Although it was not as explicit as Nicole, there was still a hint of resistance flashing in her eyes.
What's going on?
Could it be that Kevin has really been here?
A glimmer of hope ignited in Du Yuhan's heart, "Yes, I don't know if you've seen it?" β
But soon he was disappointed again. The elder shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard that a captive was captured two days ago. β
Captive?
Are they at war now?
Could it be that Kevin was caught by mistake?
It's not right, he was covered in blood and mud when he was first picked up, and he wasn't locked up, how could Kevina's handsome aristocratic appearance be regarded as an enemy?
But just in case, Du Yuhan decided to find out.
"Can I go check it out?"
The elder didn't speak, but his wrinkled face wrinkled even more.
As a foreigner, Du Yuhan also knew that his request was a little excessive, and he seemed to see the other party's embarrassment, so he asked in a low voice, "I just take a look from afar, and I won't get too close." β
If it was really an enemy, it would be very foolish to get involved with him, all he wanted was to identify that person.
After hesitating for a moment, the elder looked at the large turtle shell on the ground, as if he remembered something, and his expression finally loosened a little, "Please wait a moment, warrior." β
When the elder instructed Hood to take him to the captive, the other man's face took on a strange look, similar to the look on Nicole's face at the time.
Du Yuhan followed the tall man who walked in front of him, and he could clearly feel that the other party's attitude was much colder after hearing his request, and the most direct expression was that the pace was much faster than before.
Du Yuhan felt a little puzzled.
Why are the people here so intriguing when they hear that Kevin is an elf?
Could it be that they have some kind of holiday with the elves?
Then again, who are they fighting with?
By the way, this Tuojiao Village borders on the Principality of the Luna God.
What race is the Principality of Luna?
Du Yuhan didn't learn history very well, and he barely had some common sense because of Kevin's bad remedies in school before. Before he could recall the contents of the book, he was led by Hood to turn seven or eight corners and come to the door of the cell that was located underground.
Completely different from the bright buildings outside, the inside of the cell was dark and damp, as if it were a forgotten and spurned corner. The air was filled with the smell of dust, mixed with the smell of sourness, erosion and decay, which made people's nose sour for a while.
The guards at the gate opened several iron locks, and when they passed through a long corridor, the prisoners on both sides saw that someone was coming, and they all rushed over, trying to reach out, and slammed into the iron fence with a clanging sound. Some unwilling roars, some complaining cries, pierced the eardrums for a while.
"What's the noise?!" The jailer roared viciously, and the iron rod in his hand slammed against the railing with a loud bang, like a sledgehammer striking straight to the heart.
When the prisoners saw the jailer, they were like cats and mice, and they were silent one by one, and quickly shrank into the corner.
Du Yuhan couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but there were some bad premonitions in his heart.
Hopefully Kevin isn't in there.
The two walked to a dimly lit iron fence, and Hood gestured inside, "This is it." β
There was no light in the cell, and unlike other cells where many people were held, only one person was imprisoned.
Bowing his head to express his gratitude, Du Yuhan stepped forward and squinted at the faint light of the fire on the wall. It was a long time before he saw a figure on the edge of a dim corner.
Linen robe, blonde hair, pointed ears...... Hey?!
"Kevin!" Du Yuhan's face changed greatly, he grabbed the cold railing with both hands, and was about to rush in, but was quickly pulled by Hood behind him.
"What are you doing?!"
"It's him, it's him!" Grabbing the opponent's clamp with his backhand, Du Yuhan yelled anxiously, "The person I'm looking for is him!" Can you open the door and let me in firstβ"
"No way!" Hearing this, Hood was furious, "He is an enemy spy, and he must not come into contact with people!" β
"No, he's not!" Du Yuhan hurriedly explained, "He was teleported with me!" Not your enemyβ"
"I don't care if he's with you or not, he's an elf, so he can't be tolerated!" His face turned ugly, and Hood suppressed the anger in his body. If it hadn't been for the elder's repeated instructions to treat this man with courtesy, he would have killed him on the spot for collaborating with the enemy.
Du Yuhan was anxious, on the one hand worried about Kevin's injury, and on the other hand, he was a little annoyed by Hood's stubbornness. He didn't know what kind of hatred the other party had with the elves, but it was proper to discriminate by only using race to define the good or bad of people.
Resisting the urge to use spells to blast the other party into slag, Du Yuhan begged again in a low voice.
"Your Excellency, I'm just a sick man, it's heavily guarded here, and I can't possibly have any ideas. He's lying in there now, and I just want to go in and check on the situation, and I don't think about it. β
Hood is a standard tough guy and eats soft rather than hard. Seeing that the other party's attitude was soft, he no longer spoke harshly.
Seeing that Hu De's expression was a little relaxed, Du Yuhan spared no effort to persuade, "If you are really not at ease, you can go in with me." β
Thinking about it anyway, the other party was also under his own surveillance, and it was impossible to make any waves, and after thinking for a while, he finally gave the jailer a look and opened the iron door of the cell.
"Kevin!" Hurriedly rushed up, Du Yuhan gently picked up Kevin, who was soft on the ground.
His long golden hair was stained with mud, his fair face was covered with fine scars, and there were dried blood stains on the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and his face was horribly pale. The neat and clean robes were dirty and messy, and in some places there was even a large gap, which looked like a wound created by dragging on the ground.
"Kevin, Kevin!" Looking at the originally dignified and elegant lover, but now he has become a wolf, Du Yuhan felt distressed in his heart. He gently wiped the blood stains on the other party's face with his hand, and although he could slow down his movements, Kevin still groaned softly in pain.
"Uh-huh......" His eyelids twitched slightly, and Kevin woke up slowly. He only felt dizzy and uncomfortable, especially in his right hand, which was so hot that he couldn't move his fingers.
"How are you?" Seeing that the other party woke up, Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief, although the high heat under his palm made him feel frightened, but the bad guy was still alive.
ββ¦β¦ Han ...... "After several days of oil and salt inadequacy, his lips were pale and chapped, and his throat was like a fire, Kevin tried to open his eyes and look at the double vision in front of him, but he couldn't hold the heaviness of his eyelids, and fell asleep again.
"Rest well, I'll find a way to take you out." The tragic situation of his lover made Du Yuhan's throat tighten, and he held the person tightly in his arms, and he began to think of various ways to escape in his mind.
