Wanting me to put Flotra in his hands, this is absolutely not going to happen.

If I had to live in a prison warden, I might have seriously considered Mednachi's proposal. But in fact, in a little more than a month I will be able to slap my ass and leave, and when I ask him to go back to Flotra, will he willingly return the person to me?

Even Mednaki would block me from leaving. Seeing their reactions to drinking Skuma, I realized how valuable my magic really was in their eyes.

Now the only hole card I have that I don't play...... It's the letter for help that was going to be sent back to Xueman. After I was in prison, in order to avoid complications, I was careful not to leak my hole cards to anyone in prison. The prison is completely cut off from the outside world, and the prisoners in the prison only know that I and Flotra are in prison for murder, and the sentence will certainly not be a small amount, and even in their understanding, it is impossible to leave this prison again.

So, I decided to put it off. For more than a month, I don't know if Mednaqi, who has been in prison for more than 20 years, has such patience, but I have to try it now.

"Can I think about it? I want to ask Flotra what she thinks, I don't want her to be wronged in any way. ”

"Flotra, is that the girl's name?" Mednaqi stared into my eyes, his index finger tapping frequently on the desk, "Yes, this time tomorrow, I want to hear your final reply." Don't let me down, it's a great honor for you to be able to see me the day after you go to prison. ”

Mednach leaned down and blew out the oil lamp on the table, motioning for me to leave.

……

"How?"

Having just walked to a deserted place after leaving the territory of Mednaqi, Uratsen immediately asked me for Mednach's response.

The king agreed, and at the same time he made a condition.

"On what terms?"

"Flotra needs to stay with him as a hostage."

The outcome of ......the meeting surprised Uratzen, who hesitated for a moment and told me his opinion, "I think it's acceptable. Although it may seem like you are not at ease, His Royal Highness has always been a good person to trust us. ”

Uratin didn't know what was going on in my heart, and I couldn't possibly hand Flotra into the hands of Mednaqi. At the same time, I can't tell me what I'm really going to do—do you want me to tell them I'll only be here for a little more than a month, and then the Silverblood family's stewards will respectfully invite me out?

You must know that this is a silver-blooded mine, a silver-blooded prison, and everyone is a slave of silver-blood, and most of them have a strong hatred for silver-blood. It's just a matter of suffering with these prisoners, in case they know the secret news of the Dao, they don't know what kind of trouble the Dao will cause.

Bewildered. I couldn't think of anything to do, so I pinned all my expectations on the person in front of me.

"Uratsen," I said in a heavy tone, immediately drawing Urazin's ear to listen, "do you really want Flotra to grow up safe, healthy, and healthy?" ”

"Yes," Urazen looked at Flora with loving eyes, "and seeing her is like seeing my former daughter." ”

But a weak little girl who stayed in such a place, with no sunlight, no bath, no change of clothes, no bed to rest, and a few slices of dry hard bread at every meal, could only be nourished by moss mixed with earth and sour snow rat meat...... Flora has only been in for a day and may seem to be able to adapt now, but how long do you think she will last? She can't stand this devastation! ”

Listening to my heartfelt accusation, Uratzen's face changed, and then he lowered his head and remained silent. Hunger, disease, violence, ...... The little girl didn't live long in this prison. Even if the king was willing to take her in, it would only allow her to survive for a few more years.

"Right...... I'm sorry to worry you, I'm sure I can...... Keep it up! It won't bother you! ”

My tone was tough and indignant, which overwhelmed Flotra, who was accustomed to my gentle side. She timidly grabbed my hand and assured me.

"All right, Flotra, I know you're strong, but you can't get through it with strength alone. I've covered your eyes many times in the past two days, and you know what I don't want you to see? ”

Flora was also silent. I can cover her eyes, but I can't plug her ears and nose. The mutilated corpses on the ground didn't come into her view, and the smell of blood and the greedy chewing of the prisoners made it impossible for her to ignore.

The three of us sat silently, silent.

……

Until Uratin stood up.

"It's been ten years, and if she were still alive, she must have been found a long time ago. I should focus on the living. ”

Uratin walked over to the wall and replaced the burnt torches to brighten the room again. It looked like he had just gone through a mental battle and made a difficult decision.

"You're right. Flora can't stay in this kind of place. ”

Uratzen's response made my eyes light up, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"The mercenaries of the Silverblood family guard the entrance to the Hidana mines, and their head is a female orc, Urzoga Gerra-Shuguez. I've been involved in the handover of ore and food for years, and I've had some contact with her. She owes me a favor, and I can ask her to do it for me. ”

Orc names have always been awkward. Usually they add an intermediate word to indicate gender in addition to their common name, "Gelo" for males and "Geera" for females. Orcs believe in Malachaith, the god of curses and oaths, and as such, they never break their contracts, making them the most trusted group of mercenaries on the continent of Tamriel.

"Do you think she'll break the employment agreement with the Silverblood family and release Flotra without permission?"

"No," Uratzen pulled out a charcoal pen and began to write on paper, "but she can give some care within the rules." ”

"What kind of care?"

"Not all of them are being held inside the mine. Some of the more sensitive or valuable prisoners are placed in separate cells, and the conditions and treatment are very different from those inside the mines. I'll hand Urzoga a note convincing her to lock Flotra there, and tell her to take care of the child on a regular basis. ”

"This ...... It's so good, thank you! ”

It's really good news for me. I stood up and walked over to Uratin and bowed deeply.

I was relieved to be able to get Flotra to a safe place. With no weaknesses to threaten, I was confident that I would be able to survive the maneuver with Mednach for the next month.

"I asked Urzoga to help me find out about my daughter's whereabouts, but after all these years, I haven't received any thankful news. Now I have decided to give this opportunity to Flotra, and the living are the most important people. ”

"Thank you! I am sure that Uaira must still be alive, and that your daughter must be living peacefully in some unknown corner, waiting for his father to return from prison. ”

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see her," my sincere reassurance was only exchanged for a wry smile from Urazen, "I still have my own business to accomplish." ”

"Your career?"

"Yes, I'm not just a father, I'm a forsaker. My helping Flotra today is only a private act, and deep down I remain loyal to His Royal Highness. Urazen tucked the letter into his trouser pocket and said to me solemnly, "Don't think that this is the end of the matter, for tomorrow you will face the wrath of His Highness the King." For more than 20 years, he was known to us as the 'Ragged King'. But before he was imprisoned, he also had another nickname, the 'King of Fury'. ”
