Chapter 13: The Lord of the City
Dadan City, dungeon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It was dark and damp, and it was definitely not a place for humans to stay, and the new jailer looked at the cell in front of him with a depressed look.
He had just been transferred two days earlier, and he had been a member of the Patrol of the Inner City Wall, and the position of jailer had been held by a fat man named Pojie.
This guy is so pathetic.
A death row prisoner escaped from prison here, he was drunk and fell asleep at the time, and he was directly dragged away by the city lord's personal guards, and now there is no news at all.
I'm afraid he was also put to death.
This Bojie, he had actually heard of it, was the best jailer in the city. He has been a jailer for ten years, and he has never escaped from prison, so I am afraid that he will be promoted in a while.
If you don't have to do this, you're a poor man.
However, what he remembered more than Poger's incident happened an hour ago, when a man, claiming to be a thief who had escaped, the death row inmate, had returned to his cell.
It was the first time he had been automatically asked to enter a dungeon.
This is a place where only condemned prisoners can stay.
This person is either crazy or doesn't want to live.
If this man is really the thief who escaped, then he is crazy and doesn't want to live, he has already escaped, and he has come back to die.
So, he stood in front of the door for an hour before he locked it.
It's just a puzzling move.
After standing for an hour, the new jailer finally couldn't help himself and said, "Hey! Thief, why did you come back? ”
"Because there's nothing out there that I need to do." There was a sentence from inside the door, and his voice was relaxed and freehand, as if this dark and damp dungeon was the most beautiful place to live in the world.
The new jailer didn't speak, for he knew from the answer he had just given that this man must be insane.
So he didn't ask any more, because there was nothing to talk about with a madman, and there was nothing to ask.
Because all that comes out is crazy talk.
Maybe the madman didn't even know what he was asking.
So, he muttered, and went back to the interrogation room, which was called an interrogation room, but was never intended for interrogation.
Rather, it was a place where the jailers ate and lived, and it was relatively clean, at least not dark and damp, with beds and tables, and free food and drink after dinner.
After all, the condemned prisoners here will never have to be interrogated.
……
Inside the cell.
"Smack!"
Ye Yu slapped his back and knocked out a few lice, and then he muttered: "Really, why are you waiting in the cell, the wound on your body is not healed yet, in this place, what if you are infected?" ”
"I'm such a fool, I don't have anything to do."
Ye Yu despised himself.
Then, he rubbed his cheek, rubbing the relaxed and cynical expression on his face.
His eyes slowly brightened from self-deprecation, and finally returned to a kind of calmness, as if he had stepped into the surface of a turbulent lake for a long time.
Black and clear lake.
And his expression seemed to slowly calm down with his eyes, and this face, which was seven points similar to his real appearance, slowly revealed a seemingly melancholy temperament.
In this way, he suddenly changed from a thief who escaped to a young man with a bit of culture and melancholy.
It's just that he sits straight, and there is a trace of chic elegance in his figure.
That's right, weak and melancholy and chic and elegant, these two seem to be a bit opposite temperaments, and in his body, there is no sense of disobedience.
He looked up at the gloomy ceiling, which had some signs of mold and even some fungal mushrooms growing in places.
"So, this mission should be completed smoothly, I don't know, what reward I can get from the highest elite collective in this city?"
"Or do you want me to choose?"
"So, what treasures in this city can you choose?" Ye Yu muttered, the weak melancholy and chic and elegant temperament became more and more intense.
It seems that this dark and damp dungeon is slowly brightening up because of this prisoner.
He then pulled out the only thing the system had ever given him—a partial introduction to Dadan City, as well as the sack of burlap he had obtained from Robert, and two of the gold coins.
……
Another hour passed, and the door of the old room was slowly opened, and the new jailer stood respectfully to the side, looking at the old man next to him with great awe, and said humbly: "That prisoner is here, my lord." ”
The old man waved his hand and motioned for him to stand down.
Without any hesitation, the new jailer retreated very neatly, and it is conceivable that this man is very powerful.
At least in the city of Dadan, he is a pivotal figure.
"Is it Master Klaus?" Ye Yu in the cell spoke, but he didn't get up or turn around, so he turned his back to the old man and said.
On the other hand, this old man, although he was already gray-haired, was still wearing the armor of the knight of Dadan City, and he stood straight, as if time had not crushed his shoulders. From the wrinkles on his face, it can be seen that this man is already sixty or seventy years old, but his face is serious and decent, with a majesty of his own.
Looks like a standard knight.
A knight of high moral character and strict self-discipline.
"Lad, I'm Klaus? Hubble, the knight of Daddan, my brother, Lauren? Earl of Perthsine, owner of the city of Dadan, Harlaus? Hubble, please go to his bedchamber. Klaus narrowed his eyes as he looked at the young man in front of him with his back to him.
As a nobleman, he deserves the respect of this commoner youth. For any other person, this kind of behavior of turning his back to him and not getting up is a great rudeness.
However, Klaus did not feel that there was anything wrong with what this young man had done at the moment, as if what this young man did was natural, normal, and should not be blamed.
In the beginning, his older brother, Haraus, the old lord of the city? Hubble asked him to personally "escort" the young man to his dormitory, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, the person he was going to "escort" was just a lowly thief.
A thief should be escorted by a noble knight, this is simply an unreasonable thing like the sky falling. Even if it were the other way around, the thief was not qualified to escort a noble knight.
Originally, he was reluctant to go, but after all, he couldn't resist his brother's sentence: "When you see him, you may be able to understand what a real virtuous person is." ”
Klaus was a decent knight, a qualified assistant, but he would never consider himself a "virtuous man".
And his brother is a very "harsh" person, in the evaluation of talents.
Even his eldest nephew, the heir who is loved by the people of the whole city and whose fame spreads throughout the kingdom, is only "a good child" in the end of his brother.
He was very curious about what kind of person he was called "a truly virtuous man" by his brother, who was the most highly regarded person.
So, out of curiosity, he came.
Then, he saw it.
I saw this young man who was favored by his "harsh" brother, the lowly thief.
Then he understood, and so, he politely said the rhetoric that could only be used by inviting nobles of higher status than him.
The young man in the prison stood up, and turned around, his calm eyes were calm, he smiled slightly, and said, "There is Lord Lauss." ”
Elegant, generous, like an aristocracy.
Klaus? Hubble couldn't help but make a knightly salute, and the other party also bowed slightly and leaned over to return the salute.
Now, negotiate!
When Ye Yu left the door of the labor room with Klaus, such a thought crossed his heart.
