Chapter 115: Prisoner
"Okay, the people have finished reading, and the words are finished, can you leave now?" Standing behind him and monitoring his every move, Hood certainly did not miss this sentence, his eyes became sharp, and the fighting spirit in his body was slightly agitated, guarding against the other party's sudden attack. Novel.
Du Yuhan, who was also a warrior, felt the vigilance of the other party for the first time, he glanced back, and resisted the idea of killing and robbing the prison. Not to mention that the internal injuries on his body have not healed yet, this captain's rank alone will not be vegetarian. If you act rashly, not only will you not be able to save Kevin, but you will also put yourself in it, and it is estimated that there will be no hope at that time.
Du Yuhan forced himself to relax his tense muscles and nodded in understanding, "Of course, but can I have a small request?" ”
According to his patience, Hu De said angrily: "Please speak." ”
"Although this person is a prisoner, can you get the medical officer to do a simple treatment?" Seeing that the other party's expression turned dark and he was about to have a seizure again, he added slowly, "Since you are a captive, you must want to know some information from him." But now that everyone is sick and confused, how can the interrogation be carried out? ”
Hearing this, Hood snorted coldly.
Of course, he knew what kind of calculation Du Yuhan was playing, and out of disgust with elves, he would not be able to help this prisoner at all, so he would use the name of "catching a spy". But if he says that this is not a spy at all and does not need to be interrogated, then he will give the other party a reason to let him go.
Seeing that many of his subordinates, who were like brothers, were killed by the elves, Hood swore that he would never give the elves any life. It's just that the swordsman in front of him has a special identity, and in the end he nodded unwillingly.
"I will report to the leader when he returns, and let the leader make his own decision, don't worry about it."
Du Yuhan was annoyed by Hood's practice of Tai Chi, but there was no other better way for the time being, so he could only ask Kevin to add some warm clothes before reluctantly leaving the cell under the watchful eye of the other party.
*****
Under Nicole's careful care, Du Yuhan's injuries recovered well, and after ten days, he was healed for eight or nine days.
During his recuperation, he visited Langdon, but he was always in a semi-comatose state, and even the best medical officer in the village could not help him, saying that he could only slowly recuperate.
Although everything is developing in a good direction, Du Yuhan is still worried.
Since that time he saw Kevin in prison, the soldiers guarding the door never let Du Yuhan go in to visit. Even if the soldier only said that it was a rule, he knew very well in his heart that it was actually an order from Hood.
But every time I went to Hood to propose the idea of visiting the prison, the other party always prevaricated on the grounds that "the leader has not returned".
Du Yuhan is not a fool, even if the leader comes back, what can he do? If he is also a person who hates the elves to the core, and wants to execute people indiscriminately, it is better not to come back.
The only way to do this is to wait for his injuries to heal completely, slowly figure out the defensive route here, and then smuggle Kevin out.
Looking at the broth on the plate, Du Yuhan sighed silently.
I wonder how Kevin is doing now? Has the person woken up? Are the clothes provided enough to keep them warm? Can you eat enough? Has the high fever subsided? What happened to the injuries on the body? Those guys aren't going to torture him, are they?
When he thought of it, he felt that he didn't know what to eat.
"What's wrong, sir? Isn't this lunch up to your appetite? Ni, who was standing beside her, saw that Du Yuhan only ate a few bites, and then stopped eating, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"No, lunch was delicious." Du Yuhan smiled slightly.
"Is that unwell?" Nicole frowned.
"I'm fine." He shook his head lightly and put down the cutlery in his hand, "Thank you." ”
Looking at the food on the plate that hadn't been moved much, Nicole lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then realized, "Is it because of your friend?" ”
After a pause, Du Yuhan showed a wry smile, "Nicole, do you believe me when I say that my friend is innocent?" ”
Seeing that Nicole was speechless for a moment, playing with the corners of her shirt a little helplessly, he sighed softly helplessly.
After a few days of contact, Du Yuhan also inquired about the history of this place.
Since the Paman Kingdom broke away from the colony of the Principality of the Luna, there have always been sporadic conflicts in the border areas, but they are not very frequent, only about one or two per month. But somehow, the high-level leaders of the Principality of the Moon God vowed to take this place, and recently sent a general, and the combat effectiveness instantly increased by two levels.
The situation that had been relatively peaceful had changed, and if it weren't for the tribal leaders of Oko Province who urgently led troops to take charge of the town, Tojiao Village would have become enemy territory.
Knowing how disgusted and hated the people here are for the elven race, Du Yuhan knows that no matter how much he explains, the people here will not believe it, so it is better to collect information in a low-key manner and find a way to go back.
"Nicole, do you have a way to find out what's going on in the cell?" She had grown up here, and she was a high-ranking holy priest, so she could know some soldiers with official positions.
"I'm sorry......" Nicole was very embarrassed in the face of Du Yuhan's request, and the elders had also privately instructed that Du Yuhan should be taken care of, but in fact, there was a little bit of surveillance. However, after a few days of understanding, she knew that the other party was not a heinous person, and even she was sometimes attracted by the other party's cheerfulness.
But the cell is heavily guarded, and unless you have special credentials, let alone go in to visit, even if you stay a little longer, you will be kicked out.
Seeing that Du Yuhan's love was very low, Nicole couldn't help it.
"Actually, I don't mean to be offended, but I'm really worried about my friend's injury and I just want him to get the most basic treatment." Du Yuhan pursed her lower lip. "The bad condition of the cell is so bad, he still has injuries on his body, in case he really doesn't make it......"
"Sir, don't worry, although the condition of the cell is not very good, if there is a very strict situation, the medical officer will still treat it as soon as possible." Nicole spoke comfortingly.
"But my friend's status is special, in case His Excellency the captain wants to use torture to extract a confession......" This is what Du Yuhan is most worried about.
"But what I saw was that His Excellency the Captain had a lot of opinions about the elves, so he almost stabbed him with a sword." Du Yuhan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Although Captain Hood is more tough, what you said will never happen, I am sure." Nicole patted her chest.
The other party's sworn appearance made Du Yuhan a little suspicious, if he just believed in the other party's character, Nicole's determined attitude was really very strange. His eyes rolled, and the expression on his face became even more sad, "Then this is just your subjective imagination—"
"No, it's not my subjective consciousness." Du Yuhan's repeated questioning made Nicole a little anxious, and she blushed and defended: "That's because the captain can't do that at all!" Ah......h
"Can't do that? Why? Du Yuhan blinked.
Surprised by her gaffe, Nicole lowered her head and dodged the other party's suspicious eyes.
“…… Alas, you are really just comforting me. With a chuckle, he shook his head.
"Sir......" Seeing that Du Yuhan lowered his head and was silent, it seemed that he didn't believe anything anymore. With a soft heart, Nicole thought for a moment and felt that this should not be a secret, so she revealed some deeper information, "And before the leader returns, no one else has the right to decide the life and death of the prisoner." ”
Don't have the right? "So my friend is safe until the leader returns?"
Seeing Nicole bow her head gently, Du Yuhan's heart that had been hanging finally relaxed a little.
But that's just stalling for time, and we'll have to rob the prison before that Rausch leader returns!
But now he can't even get into the cell, let alone bring a big living person out.
What to do?
Seeing that Du Yuhan was in good spirits, Nicole was also happy, although she didn't help much, "Sir, then I'll clean it up first." ”
Looking at Nicole's busy back, Du Yuhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he had a vague plan in his heart.
"Nicole, can I ask you for one thing?"
***
The floor of the cell was much lower than the ground outside, making it very wet. There were only one or two small openings in the wall to let in the light, and the faint moonlight that came in through the window hole cast on the mottled walls, and the rusty shackles and chains still hung empty on the walls of the dungeon, reflecting the cold light.
As soon as Kevin woke up, he found himself lying in a dimly lit corner, even though there was a blanket on the floor, but the cold air made it hardly useful, but it seemed to be lying on a wet ice bed.
I struggled to support my upper body, but I found that I couldn't exert any strength up and down my body, and I felt like a fire was burning in my internal organs. He gasped and covered his eyes, but the moment he raised his hand, he found that his right wrist was black, as if it had been burned.
Kevin looked around in a daze, his brain with a high fever was in chaos, and the images before the coma instantly flooded into his mind, and he only felt a splitting headache.
I wanted to condense a divine spell to heal my injuries, but when I opened my mouth to recite the incantation, I found that my throat was as painful as a knife, and I could only make a hissing sound. struggled to sit up, but after several failures, he could only lie down on the ground helplessly.
What is this place?
He remembered that he was still on the ship a moment ago, and he had encountered a sea monster and used a scroll......
Is he rescued now?
By the way, what about Han?
Is Han also here?
I vaguely remember that I seemed to have seen Du Yuhan once in my dream, but at that time, my ears seemed to be blocked with cotton, and I couldn't hear it clearly.
What the hell is going on?
The prolonged dehydration and high fever caused his consciousness to begin to blur, and just as Kevin was about to fall into a half-asleep sleep, there was a sound of clattering footsteps outside.
- Someone's coming!
"Nicole, I didn't expect the elder to send you to treat this guy so late, I'm really wronged by you." A young male voice was dissatisfied.
"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do." The soft female voice said softly, "It's the eldest brother who works hard, and you have to work the night shift." ”
"If you don't look down on these scum, if you let them run away, then I'm really sorry for the injured brothers."
After a clanging sound of iron locks, there was a creak, and the cell door was opened, and three people came in one after another. Under the light of the torches, the faces flickered, and Kevin was stabbed by the sudden firelight.
Who are these people?
He cowered into a corner vigilantly, but he was still clearly illuminated by the light of the fire.
The jailer saw that Kevin had dodged movements, and he was angry, "What are you hiding?!" If it weren't for the elders' orders to spare your life, would you still need to bother Nicole to treat you? I don't know what to do! ”
Kevin stared at the other party coldly without saying a word, his silver-blue eyes reflecting the cold light of metal.
His body stiffened at the oppressive gaze, and his voice immediately choked in his throat. Annoyed by losing face in front of the girl, the jailer drew his iron rod and was about to whip it at Kevin.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the woman immediately stopped the other party's movements, "Brother Jailer, I'm going to start treating the injured, thank you for leading the way." ”
Remembering that the other party had an elder's order to treat the elf, the jailer put down his weapon suddenly, glared at the other party fiercely, and smiled at the woman flatteringly, "Then I'll go out first, so I won't disturb you to cast the spell." ”
She bowed to the jailer, and when she was sure that he was far away, she glanced at the tall figure behind her.
As if waiting for a long time, the hooded man rushed to Kevin in two steps, lifted the cloak on his body, and wrapped it tightly around him.
Stunned by the other party's actions, Kevin didn't know how to react, and was about to ask about the other party's identity, but a familiar voice came from his ears.
"Kevin, what do you see? Is there anything wrong with it? ”
Kevin was stunned, and finally adapted to the harsh light, and saw the resolute and handsome face against the light.
"Huh?"
