Chapter 12: The Blade Turns Cold (12)
On the top floor of the Tower of the Moonlit Night, in Hessel's study, aside from the tower master of decision-making who traveled far away and the tower master of the tower of knowledge who was closed to the door, Pedenang, was not outside, and the remaining three tower masters were all dominated by Hessel, sitting in Hessel's not spacious study - the six towers of the witcher's headquarters, and the layout of each tower was different; For example, the three-story Athletic Tower adheres to the simple and powerful style of its tower owner, Jemond; Although it is only three floors, it is extremely wide, and the structure is also made of large square stones, which is extremely strong.
Although the Tower of the Moonlit Night is no different from the other five towers on the outside, it has a comfort on the inside that only the elderly will like; After all, the Tower of the Moonlit Night was nominally a place for retired demon hunters to gather, not to mention that its owner was an old man himself.
Hessel sat in a chair specially made for the elderly, rubbed his temples with his left hand that were swollen from excessive thinking, and with his right hand, he placed the letter that the cold-faced man had sent him on the desk, and pushed it down in front of several old friends—the letter paper gave a simple but detailed account of what had happened in the Thousand Ponds, and the signatures of Ye Qi and Stofei were on the letter; The short content made several of the highest levels of the Demon Hunter Guild sweep it at a glance; However, after reading it, the top of several witcher guilds had different expressions-
Although the most simple and direct Jemond should have seen through life to spend his old age at the age of ordinary people, Jemond was still hot-tempered at this time, and he yelled as soon as he slapped the table: "Are those bastards doing some tricks that can't be put on the table?" Let's teach them a good lesson."
"Don't worry, how can you jump to conclusions in such a hurry about such an inconclusive matter?"
Throwing the book that had been tucked under her armpit onto Hessel's desk, Mordred said slowly; However, whether it was Blanc, who was sitting on the sidelines, saying nothing, or Jemond, who had already given his opinion, or even Hessel, who was just about to take his opinion, they all felt a trace of inexplicable excitement in Mordred's tone - it was not for nothing that Mordred became the master of the Tower of Thorns, the tower of punishment that guards felons; Although he looks like a harmless teenager on the outside, the bloodthirsty aura inside is still remembered by Hessel and others; Even after all these years, Mordred has learned how to control herself and disguise it with her changeable personality, but it is still there inside, and it will never be extinguished.
"Can't you wait again?" Blanc held his flask in his arms and folded his legs straight on Hessel's desk, crossed his arms and looked at Mordred with a smile on his face, and said as if reminded: "However, if you can, your death row inmates should not appear; Every time those guys show up, they always get us into a lot of trouble."
The Death Row Army, as the name suggests, is an army of a group of death row prisoners; However, unlike ordinary death row prisoners, the death row inmates held by Mordred were all witchers before entering the Tower of Thorns, and many of them were famous people who were imprisoned in the Tower of Thorns because they had committed unforgivable mistakes - with Mordred's existence, of course, these witchers would not all be executed as they were said on the outside; In the face of these powerful witchers whose personalities he admires, Mordred will make a deal with them.
Join his army of death row inmates in exchange for a chance to survive - most of the death row inmates who can choose will agree to join them and become a member of the death row army; Even if the living space is only within the Tower of Thorns, it is better than losing life
After all, not all people see death as their home - by nature, anyone who cherishes life knows how to choose; Of course, if you really meet a witcher who sees death as home, Mordred will also fulfill the other party.
As for letting go of each other because of appreciation?
Mordred would never do such a thing that violated her own principles; After all, a demon hunter who was able to enter the Tower of Thorns and had a reputation as a death row prisoner must have committed more than a hundred deaths; In the face of such an existence, even if he appreciates it, Mordred will not be soft - being able to give the other party a choice, Mordred already thinks that he is benevolent enough.
However, even if they join the army of death row inmates, these original death row inmates will not become as disciplined as the real army, and they will be forbidden; Especially in the case of Mordred's deliberate indulgence in order to ensure the 'activity' of his death row army, the death row army is to some extent more worrying than its previous state - but after all, Mordred is the tower owner of the Tower of Thorns, and most of these death row soldiers are in the Tower of Thorns, so Hessel and Blank, who are deeply suspicious of the death row army, do not express too much of their own objections. …,
But when real war breaks out and death row inmates inevitably appear, there is always a riot – anyone can imagine the horror of holding a group of vicious prisoners for decades, then violently freeing them and allowing them to destroy them at will; It's like a lion who has been hungry for days and throws it into a flock
Although the combat effectiveness of the death row army is undoubtedly strong, this has also become the situation that Hessel and Blank are most worried about - it is not so easy for the loose wild horses to return to the control of the reins, and the appearance of the first two death row inmates also proves that Hessel and Blank are not too worried; Even Mordred would have to make an example of what it would take to calm the prisoners who had suddenly been freed.
Mordred, who was sitting in his chair, was slightly stunned, apparently thinking of the scenes that his death row inmates had made him unhappy; However, Mordred, who soon returned to normal, had a sunny smile on her face again: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that it won't be this time, those guys are very obedient now"
Hessel and Blanc glanced at each other, and both noticed the disbelief in the eyes of their old friends about Mordred's words, and even the general Jemond did not believe it.
Ahem
In order not to have an unpleasant scene between several old friends in advance, Hessel, who coughed lightly, redirected the topic - although Hessel himself did not want to be the existence of this leading topic, but as the temporary leader of the witcher's headquarters, such a troublesome scene, as the temporary leader, he had to come forward hard.
"Nothing is conclusive, although we must be on alert now......" After a pause, Hessel glanced at the letter in front of him again before he said slowly, "But everything still has to wait for the results of Yedch and Stofei's investigation."
