Chapter 32: Alice Stun
"You say gestures?" Hearing Urs say this, Thea blinked in confusion, and then thought about it, remembering that Scambed had indeed made a number of gestures to himself and the young man on his horse when he had led people to arrest him and the young man in the street outside the drunken tavern in the warm house......
Moreover, not only the lord of the lord's old court, but Urs also seemed to have made some hand movements in response to him at that time, but the atmosphere was a little tense at the time, so most of the attendees did not seem to focus on these subtle details.
"So, what are those gestures?" The silver-haired, wolf-eared priest girl suddenly realized something.
"The sign language used by the Northland Slave Knights is much more rudimentary than the Drow sign language of the Raven, but it can still be used to communicate with the necessary people when necessary, and if nothing else, it should be just me, Chief Scambed, plus Lady Alice and Kai... The lord himself understands. Urs sat up close to Thea's shoulder, tilted his neck, and raised his eyes to look at the dark roof of the cell, "All in all, the chief of Scambed wants to protect us secretly under the guise of arrest, and as for the reason that cannot be explained in a short time, there must have been a lot of things going on in the Northland during our absence." ”
With that, his gaze fell on the girl's cheek, and he smiled gently as he watched Xia's expression gradually understand a little, and then tried to think with his own head, which was actually not very good at analyzing clues, pressed his thick palm on his leg and pinched his knee, and then lowered it to the side to touch the spare long sword he was wearing at his waist, thinking that the equipment and belongings that he and Thea still had on at this time should be regarded as a kind of evidence that Kevin Stone, Earl of the Northland, still trusts him and Thea, right?
Yes, the evidence......
Because the incident had only happened recently, he naturally remembered that after Scambed's palace guard team escorted himself and Thea all the way into the lord's castle, he only symbolically searched his body, except for the molten iron greatsword that was too conspicuous and was carried away by several people with a hellish expression, everything else, including weapons and armor, was ignored as if he didn't see it, and finally put himself and the girl, who had basically not been disarmed, into a specially prepared cell, just like now, As a result, the surroundings are quite clean, and the two of them are the only two special guest-level prisoners in this area of the entire dungeon.
Urs admits that his brain is not as smart and brilliant as some of the most famous mages or sages in history, but combined with his previous sign language exchange with Scambed and the almost perfunctory body search before being imprisoned in the dungeon, the hint is almost on the verge of being revealed.
The rest, perhaps, is to wait a little longer, maybe someone will come to see you in a while?
The young man thought, thinking about the good guess and the bad assumption, and then the fingertips of his right hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the spare long sword, and the thumb raised and tapped the ornament on the middle finger, his spatial ring, and at the same time lowered his head to look at the thatched pile spread on the floor of the cell next to him and the flail weapon under the white robe around Thea's waist, which was only inconspicuous in appearance, and then raised his head to look at the prison bar not far away.
This kind of iron barn is a very headache for ordinary prisoners who want to escape from prison, but for the current self or Thea who has transformed into a giant wolf, it is actually not much different from the decoration, right?
After all, Thea in the form of a giant wolf has the combat power that can slap the eye demon flat, and her own words, just without blessing the basic strength attribute of any state, is already ......
"Knock, knock—"
"Urs, someone looks like they're coming outside?" Suddenly, Thea heard footsteps coming out of the prison corridor outside the cell, the two wolf ears on the silver hair trembled slightly, and the amber eyes immediately turned to the young man with a little nervous and expectant look.
The sound of footsteps came clearly in the quiet dungeon area here, and Urs immediately heard that someone was coming to him and the girl, and immediately signaled Thea with his eyes not to be too nervous, and then reached out and took her to stand up together, and after about ten seconds, he saw several guard-like men outside the prison fence walking into his field of vision, and one of the leading guys came to the front of the cell door in a few steps, untied a string of jingling keys from his belt, raised his eyes and explained casually to himself and the girl:
"Knight Urs, Priest Thea, you're about to be released."
"What's going on, guard? Please at least let us figure out the situation. Seeing the other party's actions, Urs immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that the current situation did not seem to be a bad one, but immediately tried to ask for more clues from the other party's mouth with a vigilant attitude.
The leading guard stood in front of the door of the cell with the key, his eyes buried in the keychain for a while, and found the corresponding one, and then seemed to be about to open the door while opening the door while answering the young man's question, but another voice from outside the current field of vision of the young man and the wolf-eared girl suddenly came over and ordered him:
"Stand down, guard, let me explain."
The voice was feminine, young to hear, but the tone was calm and serious, as if it had a natural majesty, and one could probably conceive a template poker face in one's mind if you listened carefully.
The guards in the dungeon corridor, including the leader and the rest of his entourage, suddenly turned their heads and saw a blue-eyed girl with blonde hair and a single ponytail walking towards her, and stretched out her palms up to the leader.
The guards did not dare to hesitate, and the leading man immediately handed the key to the blonde girl, and bowed to it with the other guards next to him, and then walked away in the direction of the previous one respectfully, and then the blonde girl who got the key turned to face Urs and Xia alone.
The blonde girl had blue eyes and a fair complexion, the most traditional features of the Holm people, slightly short by the standards of a normal adult woman, with thin shoulders and a daily aristocratic skirt and a fluffy shawl to protect from the cold, and a clean and innocent baby face under her forehead, although it was young, it clearly revealed a stereotype that did not like to joke, just like the eyes in her sockets, only two bundles of serious eyes were cast, focusing on Urs's body for two seconds.
Then move on to Thea-
"Lady Alice...... Uh, good evening. Xia was stunned for a moment, reacted, and quickly nodded her head to make a basic greeting.
"Good evening, Reverend Thea, Knight of Urs." Alice replied with an expressionless face, her blue eyes blinked, she withdrew her gaze from Thea's face, and inserted the key into the keyhole with a "click" and unscrewed it.
