Chapter 52: Prison
Chapter 52: Prison
The author has something to say:
The previous chapter was slightly modified...... Ah, sorry, but I'd recommend taking another look...... That one......
Ann Rui is dining.
The table was full of food, which could hardly be believed to be offered to a half-elf rather than some giant or a group of halflings, but suitable for a wealthy lord.
The two closest to Anrui, and her favorite foods, are meat rolls and mud cakes - meat rolls are made from thinly sliced salty bacon wrapped in fresh meat, which is constantly brushed with oil and then sliced and eaten; Raisins, a cake made of mixed cocoa fruit, the color of the cake is quite dark, the cream is piled up like a snowy mountain, and the cream is topped with cocoa fruit powder and honey, and the combination of the three colors makes it look like a piece of snow that has been trampled on, hence its name.
In addition to these two, there are air-dried ham with bones, fried cheese cubes, stewed chicken, catfish soup, crab soup and fruit cubes boiled with sugar, and the wine served with blackberry honey.
The posture of the young lord, who can only be called a maiden, can be described as elegant and decent, and he is calm. But the servants were often amazed, for though she dined for the same amount of time as other noble women, she often ate twice or three times as much, almost as much as a knight, and still maintained such a slender and slender figure—there were always people who whispered that it had nothing to do with her non-human mother—and they were always like this, and all the bad, abnormal, and strange things were thrust into her other half's bloodline, and were infinitely exaggerated and distorted.
This secret argument that never disappeared was like the whispering of a rat on the beams of a house at night, and it did not attract Anrui's attention at all, much less disturb or irritate her, and her father had told her a long time ago that it would stay with her for the rest of her life, if she was not a half-elf, then she was a woman, or too short, too impulsive, too clumsy...... Her enemies will go out of their way to slander her, and the jealous will scramble to find fault with her, unless she is no longer the owner of the Partridge Hill and the White Tower, and no longer has this great wealth and power.
As she turned to the fried cheese cubes and chicken stew, the door to the restaurant was pushed open, and one of Ann Rui's personal maids walked in lightly and silently - she knew that Ann Rui didn't like to be disturbed during her meal, but she came in anyway, saying that there must be something more important than food waiting for Ann Rui to solve.
"The elves want to meet Adele?"
"And the priests of Rosada," said the maid cautiously, "and Lord Kerryburn, and Lord Antonio, and a young black-haired mage named Cremar. ”
"The one who inherited Beavis's property," said Anrui, "I heard that he is also a good mage, well, I have no reason to refuse this request, let me say yes, but not too long, and ask Master Antonio to decide for himself - ask Kerry if he would have liked to have dinner with me, of course, and his friends, but if they want to see me in the afternoon, please help me decline," she yawned: It's a break I've managed to get back from the councillors and businessmen, and I haven't had a proper nap in days. ”
The maid bowed her knees deeply in obedience, and then she said, "One more thing," she said, "Master Demund has sent you a gift." ”
"It's a great honour," said Anrui, picking up a linen napkin embroidered with little roses and wiping her fingers, "What is this time?" was amusement, she thought, and since she came to the White Tower, her cousin, who had always turned a blind eye to her, had sent several gifts, from a short hymn, to a bouquet of dew-stained roses, to a fluffy kitten and a silk garment trimmed with gold.
Demon's gift was encased in a small bronze box, wrapped in ferret fur, and the half-elf took it out of the box with her slender fingers, it was a round amber that took up almost half of her palm, and it was extremely clear golden yellow inside and out, and there was not a single impurity to be found, and the ebony seat was connected to a Mithril chain that could be adjusted in length, and the back of the seat was carved with the emblem of the god of life. Amber, a lucky amulet, can ward off diseases and plagues, and the White Tower is a perfect gift at this moment.
She stroked it for a while, and placed it next to the catfish soup, along with the catfish's lip bone: "Go and tell Demont," Anrui said, taking a big sip of the mead, "I like his gift very much," and she rudely tapped the spoon on the crab's plate, "Oh, and, you think," she said seemingly unintentionally, "Do you think I should tell him about the previous incident related to Adelle?"
Cremar, Kerribben, and Mage Antonio followed the guards into the White Tower's prison - passing a large and lively kitchen, and along the way they had to watch out for the various jugs, pots, and pots hanging from it. The chopping boards and knives, the dogs and cats hurrying through the mage's robes, the spoon handles and barbecue forks protruding from the greasy walls, but as soon as they left the kitchen, the noise and heat died down, and they quietly turned down a narrow staircase into an oval room, with barrels, stools, and long tables, and light and a little sound coming from the top of the room. There was a large hole in the middle of the room, facing the well in the middle of the room, and when I looked up at it, I could see iron and wood reels, buckets of water hanging from them, and a few paws that looked familiar, and it turned out that they were back in the kitchen, but under it, and the kitchen people could go up directly from here.
The Otherworldly Soul had no idea what the people who had built the city were thinking—the prison for the criminals was located in the inner city, directly below the Archon's Mansion and the Lord's Castle, and there was a kitchen and a well that could serve the entire castle as a drinker.
This brain hole is so beautiful that people dare not look at it.
They continued to descend, this time there were only fifteen steps, each of which was not the same height, the short ones were suitable for halflings, and the tall ones were even the elves who had to jump down - Mage Antonio was a human, and older than Mage Alva of Cape Castle, and in the end it was entirely Kremar and Kerryburn who carried him down by the arm, and fortunately the steps were high enough to kill a dozen OCD patients, but considering that there were often guards dragging criminals up and down, it was quite generous in terms of width.
The guards lit torches stuck in the walls, and the light and sound caused a slight commotion.
The prison of the White Tower is a long, dark corridor, with solid rock on all four walls, the top and the ground, uneven on the right, and large or small caves on the left, the entrance of which is inlaid with rusted thick iron bars, and you can smell a complex and cold stench without approaching.
All the men were locked up naked, or rather, stuffed inside, and each of the larger caves, about the size of a carriage, had a dozen heads or more than two dozen feet in them, and the small caves, which were cold hearths, and the prisoners could only curl up like fetuses, their knees pressed against their chests, their heads and buttocks pressed against sharp stones.
Of course, no one would have thought of digging drainage facilities in such a place, and all the filth discharged by the prisoners was piled up on their bodies and on the ground, accumulating a thick and sticky layer, and this is where the strange stench they smelled came from, and the people who were kept here would soon have festered all over their bodies, and if they had not been dragged out for trial and execution, they would have died of fever, and the dead would still be locked up with the living, and the living breathed the stench of the dead, and the dead sucked the temperature of the living, and the insects crawled through their wounds without discrimination, until the cave was not enough, or all the people in a cave were deadThe guards urge the new prisoners to drag them out and throw them away—at the end of this corridor, there is a cave that is said to lead to the endless abyss, and the corpses are never heard from when they are dropped.
The priests of Rosada were locked in the innermost corner, and as they passed through those prisons, the criminals inside all struggled to get a few syllables out of their sunken chests, trying to get some mercy from them, most of the voices were calling the name of Master Antonio, and some were calling the name of Kerryben, and Cremar even heard someone calling out to him, and he turned his head to look, but could not find anyone, his eyes could see in the dimly lit night, but they could not penetrate the overlapping human bodies, and the guards followed them closely, urging them to go in as quickly as possible with clear and straightforward body language。
"Are these criminals?" asked Cremar, the White Tower was not a densely populated city, and there were only one or two hundred people locked up in this living hell.
"Partly," replied the guard reluctantly, knowing that it was the caster who asked the question, "and some are insane. ”
"Didn't you say there was already a potion for madness?"
"Yes. "But who can guarantee that the madness will not come again, even the venerable Master Demon is not sure, so the best thing to do is to lock them up, there are no innocent people here anyway," he said meaningfully, "even the Reverend Adel killed his brother." ”
