205. Three people in the dungeon
This day is known in history as "the day of the calamity of Zeber", "the day of the fall of the interests of the citizens of Zeber", and the "day of the destruction of the kingdom of Andu...... A day out of everyone's heart.
In the hearts of every citizen, they want to define this day so that future generations can remember it. However, because there is an order not to communicate related to today's events, everyone can only hold it in their hearts, and there will be no unified definition of today's name. People will be pessimistic that even today they can't even do the "historical name".
Square crowd room. But after free movement, Maggie grabbed her brother's hand and looked at him with a soothing expression, as if to say that everything was fine and there was no need to worry.
Away from the noisy other side, Xia Zuo landed on the deserted street after doing all this, sighing that he should practice the "flying" magic to LvMAX as soon as possible, and he was quickly found by Long Ge.
"You said you wouldn't let me come into contact with you in front of others, but you don't even have the breath of a creature on you, it's hard to find." Long Ge complained softly, her body covered with her previous wind-resistant cloak when she was not flying with her wings spread.
The two dressed together are like a pair of dusty travelers.
"And how did you find it?"
"I have to keep my eyes on you with these eyes, you are flying too slowly in the sky," Long Ge pointed to the beastly eyes, and then the eyes of the vertical pupils changed to normal eyes, "I caught Miss Jenny, she was not enslaved by you, and she was temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon." ”
"She..."Xia Zuo covered his face helplessly, "It just so happens that the two of them have to deal with the matter, and I also have to go to the dungeon." ”
Accompanied by Long Ge, Xia Zuo walked into a special dungeon near the castle - used to hold noble prisoners.
Unlike the civilian dungeon located in Nancheng District, which has a larger space and is usually crowded with prisoners, the cells in the aristocratic district are at most painless punishments for some unregulated nobles, and most of them can get out after paying the fine, so it is very empty, if Xia Zuo didn't let people in, maybe there would be no prisoners.
"In the prison south of the city, many sub-people have not actually committed any crimes," Xia Zuo said to Long Ge beside him as he walked down the stairs from the dim dungeon, "Just like Valentine in the blacksmith shop, maybe he was sold as a slave or imprisoned as a laborer in the city construction just by accidentally bumping into a nobleman." ”
"Then if you let them disband directly, will those subhumans still return to the dungeon?"
"For the time being, but they now have civil rights, and the unfair trials they suffered before will be withdrawn one after another, and the complaints will be treated fairly."
"Why are you so sure?"
"This is the power of the Red Slave Curse Seal," Xia Zuo glanced back at her and smiled, "Have you forgotten how Long Ge felt when he was forced to attack me by me?" ”
"Hmm..."Long Ge pursed his lips, revealing an expression that he didn't want to remember.
"So, even if the inmates themselves don't complain, the prison will take the initiative to help them."
Descending the final steps, the guards guarding the door saluted to Xia Zuo, and behind the door, there were five cells where Greveld, Kelsen, and Jenny were being held.
"You're finally here, Xia Zuo, I have something to ask you..."
Without looking back, Xia passed by the door of Jenny's cell and walked towards the end of the aisle.
"Did you hear me~?"
When he was gone, Jenny looked hard at the fence gate, pouting angrily.
The priority now is the village chief's side. The footsteps stopped in front of the bars where two elderly men were being held at the same time.
Kelsen was silent, ignoring Xia Zuo, and when he heard the news of His Majesty's death, he sat on the ground as if he were at home.
"Xia Zuo...", and Grevald leaned his back against the wall, and shouted weakly, and now he no longer respectfully addressed the other party as Your Excellency.
"Haven't you gotten used to the magic suppression brought about by the Silence of the Stone? Old village chief," Xia Zuo said calmly, "considering that you have suffered once before. ”
"You, you killed His Majesty?" Greveld was dumbfounded.
"That's right, I'll kill the eldest princess in the same way," Xia Zuo raised his right hand as he spoke, revealing the pattern, "If you, and you, don't cross your hands flat on your chest." ”
At the same time, Long Ge demonstrated that action for them.
"What!? How dare you...! Kelsen was suddenly excited, ready to step forward and put his hand out of the fence, grab Natsu's left collar, and die with him.
With a bang, the white tiger claw that Long Ge had changed out of nowhere, launched a weakened blue flame ball forward, hitting Kelsen's feet, the ground was scorched black, and the frightened Kelsen had to stop.
"Do so," Long Ge rebuked in a low voice unceremoniously, "immediately." ”
At the same time, he unconsciously released the breath of a predator, which brought a great sense of oppression to Kelsen.
"Don't you believe me and think I can't do it?"
After Xia Zuo's question, Kelsen and Grevald raised their hands and placed them flat on their chests, although they didn't understand the purpose of doing so.
Grevald only vaguely felt that it was not a good thing, but with Her Royal Highness the princess as a threat, he had no choice.
"Very good," Xia Zuo blinked his skills and automatically uttered the spell, "blo ed liq."
The totem in the palm of his hand poured out a stream of light, carving a spell mark on the necks of the two of them.
"Sure enough, it won't be a good thing..."
"Hear my orders."
Before Grevald's words fell, he stopped because of Xia Zuo's words.
"Don't reveal in any way anything about me, about the slave spell, about what has happened to the king in recent days, after I release you, Greveld will return to Liv Village to continue to serve as village chief, and Kelsen will continue to serve as a knight under Felicia, at his disposal."
When the order was given, the curse mark on the necks of the two of them glowed, as if some kind of inviolable oath appeared in their hearts.
“... That's what you're here for? Grevald asked incredibly, isn't he planning to realize his conspiracy by threatening the life of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!?
"What else could it be?" Xia Zuo smiled mysteriously, "Oh yes, as for you, the old village chief, our matter is not over yet, since you sent it to the door this time." ”
Greveld swallowed slightly nervously.
"In the past, I helped Liv Village deal with the invading goblins, at that time, the village was in danger, and its survival should be the first priority, but you didn't give me effective magic in time, and the result was a mistake, if I hadn't found out that one of the magic could be used to destroy a large number of goblin legions, otherwise the battle would have been tricky."
"But... I have limited memories of magical spells..."
"Don't lie to me."
Xia Zuo interrupted him with a remark, and at this order, Grevald could not continue to finish the sentence.
"You remember a lot of magic spells, don't you?" Then he asked coldly.
“... Yes, it is. Although Greveld tried to deny it, he was unable to do so under the command of him.
"So why don't you just give me some powerful magic spells, and want the village to be destroyed by goblins rather than let me learn magic?" When Xia Zuo asked, there was no puzzled expression on his face, "I think I know what the answer is, but I want to hear you say it yourself." ”
“... That's too risky, I think it's dangerous if you learn too much magic..."Greveld gritted his teeth reluctantly.
"But as a result, I saved Liv Village."
"That's true..."
"Then you have to admit that you were wrong." Xia Zuo shrugged, "If it wasn't for luck at that time, my battle wouldn't have gone so well. ”
Greveld was helplessly silent.
"So how many magic spells do you remember?"
"96 kinds, I can remember them so far." He no longer resisted, and his words were more straightforward than before.
"That is, you deceived me."
"I'm so guilty..."
"What about guilt?"
Grevald looked at Xia Zuo's eyes, understood that the other party would not let him go like this, and said with relief: "Since I am already your slave, please listen to me, but please don't let me do anything that endangers this country, please..."
"Well, that's punishment," Xia Zuo smiled and took a step closer to the fence and lowered his voice, "After returning to the village, each magic hand copied a thousand times on the paper, and sent it to me one by one. ”
Prepared for the worst, Greveld was stunned for a moment, "... Yes? ”
After arranging the affairs of the village chief, Xia Zuo returned to Jenny's cell.
Seeing this, she stepped forward and grabbed the iron bar with both hands, and looked at it that she had lost her patience for a long time.
"Say what you want to be done." Xia Zuo stayed in front of her, separated by the fence.
"I've thought about it... But overall, I don't want to suffer a senseless death right now. Jenny said bluntly, "Before you make a decision, I want to confirm one thing. ”
“... Just ask. Seeing that Jenny was asking for advice, Xia Zuo spread his hands and motioned for her.
"Did you really kill His Majesty?" She asked solemnly.
"Yes." Xia Zuo replied immediately.
Long Ge glanced at him, and although it wasn't Xia Zuo's own doing, he didn't seem to be cowering from lying at all.
"What is the reason?" Jenny took a deep breath, "His Majesty has a good relationship with my grandfather, and treats me well, but I don't think you are a random killer, you once saved a village, and would rather give up this glory to exchange a magic with Your Majesty for the magic you need... If that's not a good reason, I can't accept it. ”
"What if you don't accept it? You don't accept an unsatisfactory answer, and you don't accept the execution..."
While Xia Zuo was talking, seeing that Jenny's brows didn't move, he always looked at himself seriously, and he gradually stopped speaking, maybe he should give a proper answer.
"Well, I can tell you," Xia Zuo also looked at Jenny with serious eyes, "King Charles broke his agreement with me and designed to poison me to unilaterally destroy this agreement, so I killed him with revenge and took back what I deserved." ”
There was a moment of silence, and Jenny's eyes twitched slightly, as if trying to understand.
"Are you satisfied with such an answer?" Xia Zuo broke the silence and asked.
Jenny nodded slightly, then took a step back and took the initiative to cross her hands over her chest.
"What to do, I haven't decided what you want to do." Xia Zuo said questioningly, looking helpless, "Are you making decisions without permission?" ”
"This is just my reply, at the moment, it seems that there is no problem with the way you do things, I agree with that, although I don't really want Your Majesty to end like this..."Jenny said calmly, "And then what is Xia Zuo's way of dealing with me?" I'm ready, even if it's for my escape... Well, I still don't want to die worthless. ”
Xia Zuo snorted lightly, didn't hesitate, and raised his right palm, "I will restrict your words and deeds, what I said to you today, you can't say it." ”
"I'll listen very carefully," Jenny also responded with a smile on her face, "Then Xia Zuo has already got what he wants, what is the purpose of all this follow-up?" To liberate the Inhumans? Or is it for the future of Zeber? ”
"It's self-satisfaction." Xia Zuo blinked his skills and recited the incantation.
