Chapter 1150: The Secret Passage
After getting the secret permission of General Renault, Marven forced himself into the dungeon of the city guards by virtue of his identity as the son of the city lord.
Along the way, some guards tried to step forward to block it, but they were all shouted by him.
He found that as long as he kept a straight face and had a tough attitude, ordinary guards would not dare to stop him, the son of the city lord, let alone blast him out.
In this way, Marven passed all the way and soon came to the bottom of the dungeon where Underhill was imprisoned.
Although Anderhill was placed under house arrest by the city lord of Cosman because of his opposition to resistance, he was after all the chief priest and spiritual leader of the Koroma region, and even if he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the city guards, he still deserved a lot of treatment and could not be treated as an ordinary prisoner.
When Marvin was standing in front of the dungeon, he saw Underhill inside reading a book.
He had a laid-back attitude, dressed in purple pajamas, and looked peaceful, like an old man sitting in his garden reading a book, not a prisoner.
"Open the door..."
Marven took a deep breath and said to the two soldiers guarding here.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and were puzzled: "My lord, we dare not open the door without the order of the city lord or General Renault, please don't embarrass us." ”
"Bastard!" Marven was furious, went up and slapped him twice, and said angrily: "I am the son of the city lord, the most favored young master Marven, how many of you two dare to stop me." Believe it or not, I just have to say to your superiors, and I can transfer you to clean the toilets for a hundred years, a thousand years! ”
The two guards swallowed and foamed, they could be assigned to guard the priest of Underhill, both of whom were the elite of the city guards, and had a great future ahead of them.
If you are transferred to clean the toilet, this life will be complete.
As for whether what Marven said counted, they didn't dare to doubt it at all.
Because everyone knows that Marven is the person who cannot be offended in Versailles.
You offend the city lord, and the city lord may not be as knowledgeable as you as a little person.
If you offend the city lord's eldest young master, the eldest young master may laugh it off and not care about you.
Marven is different, he is the youngest son of the city lord, and because he can't practice the secret art of the totem clan, he has received special care from his father and brothers.
Offending Marven is more terrible than offending the city lord and other young masters, as long as Marven speaks, a word can decide the fate of a little person like them.
"Don't open the door yet!" Marven forced anger on his face, in fact, he is not a person who likes to lose his temper, but sometimes if you are not fierce, others will not be afraid of you.
The soldiers looked at each other and opened the cell door with a sad face.
Marven walked to the cell and shouted without looking back: "Get out, hear what you shouldn't hear, be careful of your heads." ”
There are one and two, this time the soldier did not refute, and retreated, not forgetting to close the outside cell door before leaving.
"Oh, my little Marven, my student, I didn't expect you to be so imposing."
In the cell, Anderhill, who was dressed in pajamas, said without raising his head while flipping through the books.
Marven walked in quickly, half-knelt in front of Anderhill, and whispered, "Teacher, please save my father and the Cosman family." ”
Anderhill paused to flip through the book, and after a moment, sighed, "But the temple and the human army are coming?" ”
In the prison cell, Underhill is not confused.
Because he knows very well that the most powerful of the totem tribe is the sacrificial lineage, they are the shepherds of the totem gods, even if they are the chiefs of the tribes in power, they are just the lambs of the gods and need to be managed by the shepherds.
From the moment Cosman decided to oppose the Temple's surrender agreement, got into a big fight with him, and put himself under house arrest, he knew that neither the Temple that had decided to surrender nor the humans who were ready to accept the surrender would allow the rebels to exist.
Looking at it now, it was all as he expected, and earlier than he thought.
"It's the human expeditionary force that is coming, my father insists on going his own way, I don't know that resistance is useless, we don't have the strength to resist at all, we will only get slaughter if we resist, the historic Cosman family is about to usher in the twilight, I, as a member of the Cosman family, must do something."
Marven half-knelt on the ground, with tears and affection in his eyes, and pleaded: "Teacher, you are the chief priest of the temple, the most prestigious person in the Koroma region, and now only you have the ability to turn the tide." ”
"Turning the tide?"
Anderhill glanced left and right, he was all prisoners, what to do to turn the tide.
Don't look at Marven can come in easily, it is because the guards are afraid of his identity and have to turn a blind eye.
But if you want to take him out, I'm afraid that these guards will turn their faces immediately, and they won't give Marven this chance at all, otherwise it won't be a question of whether he will be put in small shoes, but whether he will lose his head.
"Teacher, I have a way."
Sensing Anderhill's expression, Marven said pointedly.
"Do you have a way?" Anderhill's first reaction was disbelief.
He knew very well that his student was not keen on power, and although he had achieved some academic achievements and could memorize the Totem God Code backwards, this ability could not cope with the current situation.
If you want to take him out, you can't just buy one or two guards.
Don't look deep in the dungeon, there are only two guards.
In fact, as a dungeon for the city guards, this place is very heavily guarded, and at least one battalion of soldiers and horses is stationed on the ground.
In addition, this is the garrison of the city guards, and the main force of the city guards will arrive at the slightest disturbance.
That's an army of 30,000, and even with Anderhill's strength, he doesn't dare to think that he can rush out.
"The city of Versailles is an important town integrating military and political affairs, and the foundation of the Cosman family. As early as the beginning of the city's founding, the ancestors of the Cosman family considered how to escape from the siege of the army one day.
Therefore, in the various areas of Versailles, there are a total of twelve secret passages, which are known only to the heads and heirs of the previous generations, and all of them can lead to the outside of the city.
One of them is at the City Guard station, and right here, at the bottom of the dungeon, in this room we're in. ”
Marven said as he looked at the load-bearing walls inside the dungeon.
"Here?" Anderhill looked surprised, unable to believe it was true.
"Twelve tunnels, all in important places, the garrison of the city guard as a military stronghold, in the minds of the ancestors of the Cosman family, if the city of Versailles is under siege, this and the city lord's mansion may be the last place of resistance. And the dungeon of the city guards, located in the center of the camp, looks unremarkable, and who would have thought of arranging a secret passage in this place? ”
Marven laughed when he said this, and said, "Teacher, if I tell you that there is also a tunnel in the temple, will you be even more surprised?" ”
"The temple too?" Anderhill didn't expect the ancestors of the Cosman family to take such precautions, maybe the Cosman family was not strong back then, but they really prepared everything they needed.
"Yes, there is a temple too, it is at the bottom of the well, and if someone jumps into the well, swims all the way downstream, and swims to the bottom and finds a big stone. Behind the stone is a secret door, a secret passage that leads to Lake Zelta, in a nondescript coral grove. ”
When Marven said this, his eyes involuntarily dimmed.
Because in his memory, on the day the city of Versailles was breached, his fourth brother took this secret path.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and no one thought that there would be a traitor in it.
Eventually, his fourth brother was beheaded by a traitor, and this was the fundamental reason why he remembered the secret passages in the temple vividly.
As for the tunnels in the city guards, that's where his father let him escape.
In the end, he didn't choose to leave, because he didn't know where to go, so he chose to stay.
But the location of the tunnel was clearly written down by him.
The reason why he was sure to save Underhill, the main priest who could turn the situation around, was also related to the position where Underhill was imprisoned.
It's a pity that in his previous life, he didn't have such a long-term vision, when the expeditionary force broke through the city of Versailles, Anderhill had already been rescued by the cathars, and now, all this is still too late.
