Chapter 30: Detention Centers
Subtle sunlight streams in through the skylight of the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It warmed the cold room and illuminated the gloomy face of the young man sitting on the bed.
This is a room with classic-style granite floors, furniture other than the bed, unusually simple, the room is slightly damp and seems to be prone to insects, but people who live here generally know this.
Meals are served for two days, but the food is of a fair standard, seemingly due to the religious beliefs of the residents, with only green vegetables and not even a single piece of meat in the soup.
And the most striking thing about this room is nothing else, but anti-theft equipment.
Sturdy bars blocked all exits to the room, and no matter how hard they were beaten or pulled, they remained unmoved.
Rent? Free of course.
Because this is a prison.
"I'm innocent."
The young man Xia Di looked at the guard who had just introduced him to the residence and sighed dissatisfiedly.
"Don't sigh, you didn't even come in for two hours, and you were desperate too quickly." The guard was an uncle in his thirties, he sat on the small bench in front of the cell, squinting at Xia Di, "This is just a temporary detention room, if someone pays the bail for you before dark, you can get out immediately, of course, don't worry if you don't, the crime you committed is not serious, as long as you are locked up here for a few days, write an IOU and you can get out." ”
“…… How much do I have to pay? ”
"If the victim doesn't ask for it, maybe 10 silver coins will do."
It's not expensive.
Xia Di reached for the waistband of his trousers, but did not move.
He had just thought that the silver coins still in the [Package] might help him solve his current situation. However, he had already been searched before he was put in the cell, and if he took out the silver coins here, he would be asked where he got them, and maybe they would be swallowed by the guards, so he chose to keep his mouth shut and wait.
In fact, he could have escaped the pursuit of the guards, but considering that Erin was there at the time, he was afraid that escaping would cause her trouble. He had no choice but to be arrested.
If he wasn't mistaken...... That female nerve should just want to catch him, and it is urgent. Therefore, I don't have to worry about no one paying bail.
"Hey, it's not going to be easy now." The guard uncle seemed to be too bored, and started a routine with Xia Di, "You are an immigrant, where is your home in the Eastern Continent?" It shouldn't be Rome. ”
"Well, I'm a little further east, the Far East." Xia Di thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, that's good, now the vigilance of outsiders here is very strict, the people are okay, people like us who work as guards will be a little prejudiced against you, if there is an opportunity to arrest people, everyone will not let it go."
Is Immigration Biased......
Xia Di looked down at his modern outfit, and thought that he should go out and change into a set of clothes that matched the impression of the locals.
"Everyone thinks there will be a war soon." The caretaker uncle sighed and said, "Lords all over the country have made similar moves, and in the past few months, they have increased their investment in the army and continued to recruit soldiers. ”
When Xia Di heard this, he was suspicious: Isn't it going to hold a royal election? At most, the only ones to guard against are the rebels, right, is it necessary to start recruiting troops in every territory?
"Does this have anything to do with prejudice against immigrants? When you say war, do you mean civil war? Xia Di couldn't help but ask.
"No......" the uncle looked at him strangely, "The possibility of civil war is basically wiped out because of the king's choice, the power of the nobles is strong, but there are not many nobles who dare to openly challenge Master Merlin, what we are worried about is the invasion of foreign enemies." ”
"Foreign enemies?"
"Don't you know? You're from the Eastern Continent. The caretaker uncle wondered, "Inland cities like Bedford are fine, but coastal towns are different, I heard from the local residents, there are often groups of armed barbarians crossing the sea on the coast, plundering the cities and villages, and they also have internal responses, most of them are immigrants, our country originally did not resist these immigrants, but recently, ...... Because of the sheer number of these foreign criminals, we have to intensify our search for outsiders, and if they don't have the right identity, we put them in this cell for interrogation.
"That is, I am also suspected?"
"No, it's just your luck today." The caretaker uncle laughed a few times. "Who did you choose...... It seems to fit the appetite of our lads on duty today. ”
Xia Di couldn't help but fall silent, thinking that if you knew that woman's character, I am afraid you would not have crooked thoughts about her.
Xia Di coughed lightly and continued the topic: "The barbarians you just talked about should be pirates, are they so difficult to deal with?" ”
"No, only pirates are fine." The caretaker shook his head, "Our real foreign enemy now actually refers to Rome."
Rome?
Xia Di suddenly remembered.
Throughout the history of the game, Rome has been Britain's number one threat.
Because Britain is surrounded by the sea and the land is fertile, the economy is also good for maritime trade, and it is often patronized by pirates. At the same time, there was an enemy that was eyeing Britain, and that was Rome, or Western Rome to be exact. The Western Romans, the rulers of the British Isles a hundred years ago, defeated the indigenous Celts in 43 AD, brought immigrants and a large number of troops stationed throughout the British Isles, and applied advanced Roman building techniques to the construction of various military defenses, such as the famous Hadrian's Wall and the Andonin's Wall.
The new developments in agriculture, urbanization, industry, and architecture that the Roman invaders introduced from the land are still visible today, but it was colonial rule after all, and the Western Romans occupied Britain because they wanted to transport the wealth created on British land to Rome in large quantities, not for the sake of the native British peoples.
So, a hundred years ago, the Britons, who could not stand the exploitation of Rome, announced their intention to break away from Roman rule, triggering a rebellion.
At the same time, perhaps by coincidence.
On the day Britain declared its rebellion, the Germanic tribes attacked Western Rome, sacked the city of Rome, and established the Visigothic kingdom, forcing Rome to repatriate its troops from Britain to fight them.
Then, Attila, known as the whip of God, also happened to lead his Hun tribe to Western Europe, launching an offensive against the countries of Inner Western Europe, including Eastern and Western Rome.
The scene became even more chaotic, and Britain, because it was an island, escaped the catastrophe and relied on this time to recover quickly.
As a result, just like the course of history, Western Rome was defeated, and most of the territory was divided by foreigners, but there was still a small number of people in the territory who restored the country in the name of Rome and elected a new emperor, which is now the new Roman Empire.
"I'm afraid those guys are still reminiscing about the glory of the past, and last month, they sent an envoy to us to ask for tribute. We rejected it. The caretaker smiled bitterly: "They obviously want to bully us because they see that the British dragons are leaderless, but who wants to listen to the words of the original colonists?" Besides, we are not weak in Britain, and in terms of magic technology, we are much stronger than this group of defeated soldiers. Even if there is no king for the time being, we can still deal with them by relying on our own chivalry. ”
“…… Oh, yes. ”
Xia Di nodded.
He doesn't agree with this view, but rather on the contrary, Britain relied on the iron rule of King Arthur and the player's best to defeat Rome during the game...... And what about this world? King Arthur did not exist in the history of this world, but the threat of foreign enemies and rebels is still there, and it will not be so easy to defeat Rome.
Xia Di thought to himself.
"Oh, after all that has been said, the sun is about to go down, young man, and it's a pity that you will be ...... in the next few days Well? There was a sound of footsteps not far away, and the guard uncle looked back, and a middle-aged soldier about his age walked up to him, nodded to him, and looked at Xia Di again.
"You've been released." The soldier said.
"Really?" Xia Di pretended to be surprised.
"Great, boy, someone has paid for you." The caretaker nodded and said.
"No, it was the whistleblower who asked for the lawsuit to be dropped. She said...... We caught the wrong person, and she, as the daughter of the baron, told us to release him immediately. ”
Was that woman a noblewoman...... Xia Di thought in surprise.
"Release? This release also has to follow the basic rules and regulations, didn't you tell her? The caretaker frowned, "This is Bedford, our lord is Lord Amante, not her, she doesn't have that right." ”
"No, I did, but she said that if we don't release them right away, she'll put up posters in public areas tomorrow to protest our inaction."
What kind of threat is this!?
I thought that even if she suffered a loss, she would pay bail.
Xia Di couldn't help but be shocked by the girl's cleverness.
"Young man......?" The guard uncle looked at Xia Di suspiciously, "Could it be that the victim is your lover?" She has a bad temper, and talking nonsense will cause trouble. ”
“……”
This amazing brain hole made Xia Di too lazy to justify.
Moments later, the cell opened.
After some discussion, the uncle and the other people in the detention center felt that it was very troublesome for the young man to quarrel and get involved, so he simply let him go.
Xia Di walked out of the cell, said thank you, and walked towards the door of the detention center.
As he walked, many of the guards looked at him curiously, probably someone they didn't know they would be able to get out of prison so quickly.
Xia Di was mentally prepared and walked out of the door.
"Ahh A little silver-haired girl sat on a stone bench not far away with a large duffel bag on her back.
"Irene." Xia Di was surprised, he thought that what was waiting for him was some domineering crazy woman, but he didn't expect it to be this girl. Could it be that she was the one who wanted to help her withdraw the lawsuit just now?
"You've been waiting for me?"
Erin nodded, "That, little brother, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine."
"I asked a gentleman guard just now, and he said you did something bad...... Is that true? ”
"I also said when I was arrested, I didn't do anything!" Xia Di felt that he had been severely humiliated in this prison, which made him lose his affection for the green-haired girl again, "Your sister Kayilu has no discipline at all......"
"It's bold to dare to slander your master."
Behind her, a green-haired ponytail beauty walked out of the detention center, she cut her hair, and said: "If I didn't help you intercede, you still want to come out, I tell you, are you afraid...... Ay. ”
Kayilu's eyes were fixed somewhere.
You don't have to think about it to know it's Erin.
"Ka, Sister Kayiru......" Erin looked at her in surprise.
"Erin!!" Kayilu is like a wild horse on the loose...... No, he ran towards Erin like a wolf pounced on his prey.
When Erin saw this, she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Erin, Irene, Erin......"
But how could a little girl resist the entanglement of an adult, she was immediately hugged by Kayilu and rubbed her face wildly.
Kayilu's eyes lit up, and while rubbing her face against Erin's body, she inhaled and exhaled frantically, "Let me hug you well!" ”
“…… Please, please don't push so hard, ah, woo, it feels bad. Erin had a look as if she had been hurt by 2 points.
Kailu's plump boobs squeezed against Erin's body, but for some reason, Xia Di could only feel deep sympathy.
After almost five minutes, Kayilu finally let go of Erin, who was distracted.
Is this TM sucking sperm qi?
Xia Di couldn't help but be surprised.
"Finished?"
"No...... The angelic breath is only replenished by about 70%, and the remaining 30% will be discussed in the evening. Kayilu coughed lightly and touched her head a little embarrassedly, "By the way, who are you?" ”
“…… I'm just a passerby passing by. Xia Di turned around and left.
"That's right, yes, you remembered, the abductor. Oops, I felt so good just now that I accidentally forgot to get down to business. ”
Xia Di sighed silently, and didn't bother to say more to her.
So he said bluntly: "Make a deal." ”
"What?" Kayilu was dumbfounded.
"I'll give you the sword you want, and you give me your freedom to go back to where I was." Xia Di said solemnly.
