“……”

After hearing what Darius said, Vesero's body moved slightly, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it, this is also normal, after all, this is also quite a terrible thing for him, from a death row prisoner to a low-ranking officer, the gap between this is indeed too big, Darius didn't say anything more, and stood in silence waiting for his answer.

"The ......"

"Do you agree? Then get down on one knee to this sign. Darius's heart couldn't help but feel excited, although he couldn't see it from the outside, even though Vescello only said two words that had no real meaning, he immediately strode out of the way, only letting the Noxian crest of arms on the great axe in his hand point at him.

"I'd like to ask ......"

"Which leg should I use? It's okay if you don't have much education, it's okay with this kind of thing, hurry up and take the oath. Darius still hastened to reply.

"What exactly does 'loyalty' mean?"

"Loyalty is...... Ay? ”

It was only at this time that Darius realized that he seemed to be in a hurry, even though Vescello had amazing strength, his essence was just an ordinary country boy, and it was only some coincidence that he would be here, for him, loyalty was something that he would never have to understand in his life, and now {1} read {small} to say that 3w.ybdu himself let a child who may not be yet fifteen years old swear allegiance to a coat of arms, which is indeed a bit ridiculous.

So how should he understand...... Darius touched his chin, even if he was a country kid, there should be some simple examples for him to understand......

"Hey little ghost, do you grow wheat in your hometown?"

"Of course!" After staring at each other in silence for a while, Darius's sudden question surprised Viscello a little, although he was a little surprised, but someone cared about his hometown, and he was still happy to introduce: "Not only wheat, but also oats and soybeans, and several cows......"

"Okay, okay, I see, in that case, you should have sold these crops with your parents, right?" Darius interrupted him, and continued inexplicably.

"Hmm...... There have been a few times. ”

"Very well, then suppose ...... This is just a hypothesis! Suppose that after negotiating the price, you secretly swapped some corn into the wheat you were supposed to sell, is this correct? ”

"How can this be!" Vescello immediately loudly denied: "The bread that will be made in this way will certainly not taste good, and the people who buy the wheat will be very unhappy!" ”

"That's right! That's it, that's right! Although it was a little different from what he thought, but Vescello's answer was exactly what he wanted, even if he explained loyalty and glory to him here, I am afraid that he would not understand it for a few hours, it is better to solve it in a simpler and pure way, Darius patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said loudly with some excitement: "This is what I want you to understand, so now I want to make a deal with you: I can provide you with many opportunities to find your target, but in return, You must obey the ...... My command, just as you can't add grain to the wheat, that's my condition, do you agree? ”

"If you can't add grain to the wheat, you are loyal ......"

It was the first time for Vescello to hear such a new thing, although he didn't quite understand what the person in front of him wanted to do, but after hearing the conditions put forward by Darius, he didn't feel any injustice, and after hesitating for a while, he finally stood up, knelt down on one knee against the giant axe according to Darius's order, and swore according to his own thoughts: "I agree to your terms, if you give me a chance to find a target, I will obey your orders...... I don't add grain to wheat either...... Is that okay? ”

What happened next did not have much impact on the relationship between Demacia and Noxus, and the two city-states that were already at odds with each other would not become friendly or worse because of such a small matter, but in a sense, the small events of this day did affect the series of events that followed, and the butterfly effect had a far greater impact than anyone could have imagined.

"Excellent! A wise choice! I'll take you to change your gear first, and then ......"

"Virtue ...... Lord Darius! ”

Just as the happy Darius was about to leave here with Vesero, a jailer suddenly burst into the cell, perhaps out of anger at being disturbed, Darius glanced at the jailer rather dissatisfied, glared at him fiercely and asked, "What happened?" Didn't I say don't bother me? ”

"I know...... But a message has just been sent that His Excellency Svein wishes to speak with you, and that you should go to his mansion at once, for I have heard that you have been on good terms with His Excellency Svein lately, so I ......"

"Svein? At this time? ”

After hearing this name, Darius's angry expression immediately subsided a lot, and the element of doubt was a little more, he had indeed communicated a lot with Svein recently, but this did not mean that there was a "friendship" between them, at this time, invited himself to his mansion, is there anything important to discuss?

"I didn't lie to you! This is really an invitation from His Excellency Svein, please believe me! Perhaps because of rumors about Darius's actions on the battlefield, the frightened, hapless jailer, thinking that Darius didn't believe him, quickly explained aloud.

Darius looked at the jailer who was waiting for his answer in fear, and then at Vescello behind him, he really wanted to get him out of here immediately, but considering that he was only "partially back to normal" and that Svein might have more important things to discuss with him, Darius finally gave up on taking him with him to meet Svein, and after explaining a few words to the soldiers, he leaned down and whispered to Vescello, "I must go and see an important companion, There's no way to get you out of here right away, you can only stay here for one more night, okay? ”

"Hmm." Vescello quietly returned to his familiar corner, continued to pick up his spear and nodded to Darius, watching him leave until the cell door was closed.

――

"He was pardoned......"

Although the sound of weapons clashing before made the group of prisoners feel a little puzzled, but compared to the conversation after this, it didn't seem to matter, Darius's expression was quite serious when he left, but everyone could still see a little excitement on his face, he became a high-ranking officer at such a young age, and his future was definitely ......

Thinking of this, everyone unanimously stopped fantasizing, obviously, once Viscello was pardoned, his gladiatorial performance naturally ceased to exist, and on the contrary, they no longer had any hope after losing this life-saving straw, most of them were leaning against the wall at the moment without saying a word and looked haggard, while the rest of the people were basically shouting insults at the position of the black cell, and a few people were squatting in the corner and giggling, looking like they had gone crazy.

"Hmm...... This damn thing is really heavy......"

Perhaps awakened by loud cursing, after fainting for about two hours, the poor warden finally sat up from the ground, the pain in his abdomen had not completely disappeared, and after making sure that Darius had left, the warden finally mustered up the courage to curse in a low voice, because he had been kicked into the corner of the corridor in front of the black cell, and the soldiers who had just come to report did not notice him, and he lay on the cold ground for two hours.

When he gradually regained consciousness, the sound of cursing from not far away also penetrated his ears, is this expressionless scumbag going to be pardoned...... Damn it...... As soon as he remembered that he had just been kicked by Darius, a nameless anger immediately surged into his heart, and the noisy sound made his anger even more angry, and he immediately stood up against the wall, and shouted not far away: "You fools give me a quiet moment, do you want to be whipped!" ”

Contrary to the situation just now, perhaps realizing that there was no hope, the prisoners who had been afraid of him not only did not calm down, but more people joined in the abuse, and at this time they no longer cared for all the vicious words they could think of on the warden's head, and if they had any objects that could be used to throw, the warden would have been smashed in the head.

"You...... You shitty fools...... Unexpectedly...... How dare he ......" The warden, who had been carried away by his anger at this time, could not control so much, and in a fit of rage he untied the whip tied to his waist, limped to the nearest ordinary cell, and opened the door without any jailer, intending to slap on the body of some hapless prisoner.

He did it, and one of the prisoners was indeed knocked to the ground by him, but what he didn't expect was that the psychological impact of the pardon was much greater than he imagined, and at the moment of knocking over one person, the other prisoner actually snatched his whip and kicked him to the ground at the same time, and before he could make any resistance, there was already an extra bright red mark on his back.

"Ahh …… Yes! You guys...... Yes...... You're ......! Guardsman! Guardsman! Someone here is going to jailbreak! "The warden, who had tasted his whip for the first time, fell to the ground and rolled in pain, and the cry for help like a pig resounded throughout the prison, and there were guards guarding the prison not far away, just call them to ......

It didn't take long for the door to open again.
