Chapter 132: The End of the Half
After the barrel had cooled completely, Draenor retracted the gun behind his back, and his first reaction was to immediately check the remaining supplies in the compartment.
Eleven barrels of rum were left for the Long King, enough food and water to last him for three days, and the clothes he had bought from the Bazaar were not damaged in any way.
Cooper's figure walked from the combustion chamber, and Draeno glanced at the wooden table on his right, which had been beaten into a sieve, and shrugged at Uncle Dwarf, "I'm sorry Cooper, the matter is settled, but it looks like your beloved workbench won't be needed for the time being." ”
Cooper waved his hand to the side, picked up the broken wooden table and threw it out the window, "Ah, don't take it personally, this thing is already missing a leg, and it's weird for me to use it." Then again, you two are young and not injured, are you? ”
Draenor turned his head and looked Viklico up and down, it seemed that neither of them had shed a drop of blood, "No, those bandits should not have received professional training, they just shot at the carriage." ”
"Well, I don't know if I should praise you two for this...... Didn't you say that you would do things quietly? Is this little girl worth the risk all four of us? Cooper crossed his waist and sighed, this time he didn't just raise his throat and scold, it seems that even the usually fearless dwarves would consider safety hazards.
"If no one is hurt right now, I'd like to trust Delaenau's decision." Vicchirico sat on the shelf and wiped the blood-stained spear with a rag, and from this angle it was clear that the hourglass hanging from her waist had been filled with blood, and the spear seemed to have enjoyed a feast, and the crimson color gradually dimmed.
"Well, good old man, huh? Half of the good old people I know are hiccups! Cooper muttered angrily, pacing back and forth in the remaining carriage, "What's going on now?" We've been targeted by Abel's biggest arms dealer, and you've stolen the Butland family's auction items, do you think those guys will give up easily? ”
Draenor wasn't without consideration for this troublesome situation, but fortunately he kept an eye out for himself to avoid a head-on confrontation with the bandits, "You've been hiding in the front of the car throughout, and the only people who have seen Jeanne and me face each other are the guards at the market gate, and even the Licus people don't associate us with the figures who attacked the auction at night." ”
Halfway through his speech, he turned his head to look at Viklico, whose head was wrapped in gauze, and thought for a moment, now that she was most likely to be recognized, even if it didn't make anyone present see her hair, it was impossible to tell if those highly recognizable blood-red eyes had revealed her identity.
"In short, they are only eyeing this train at the moment, and the news will not reach Pyara in a short time. When we get dressed up, we can see the Long King in a new identity. ”
Draenor knew that what he said sounded like a fluke, but most importantly, it calmed everyone down for a while. There is always a way, after all, Abel is an incomparably vast land, and the Battery family wants to find everyone under such conditions, which is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.
Before Cooper could open his mouth to refute, Jeanne hurried out of the combustion chamber, leaning on the door frame and shouting excitedly to everyone in the carriage, "Princess Yelena is awake!" ”
Vicky immediately took the kettle from her waist and ran towards the combustion chamber, only to see Yelena lying on the folding bed opposite the coal box, staring blankly at the blazing stove.
She gasped the moment she saw Vikirico approaching with a kettle, and with all her strength she got up and curled up in the corner, "Where is this?" Hell?! ”
The poor child must have suffered unspeakable torture, and Vikily sat patiently on the edge of the bed and stroked her skinny shoulders with her palms, "We're in the train, don't worry, those scoundrels won't be able to do anything to you anymore." ”
Yelena stared into Viklico's eyes, and after a few seconds, she finally recognized the familiar face, "Miss Vicky? Mr. Delaenau! You saved me! ”
The little girl gradually relaxed her limbs, hugged Vicky uncontrollably and wept silently.
"Miss Vicky...... Brother, brother, he ......"
Draenor suddenly had an ominous premonition, could it be that he had overestimated Moran's strength, causing them to leave Yelena alone alive?
"The Butrie family caught us, and the thugs smeared kerosene on the others and threw them in the wagon...... They were burned alive in front of my eyes like that!! ”
"......" Before Yelena could speak, Viklily had already guessed what happened to Yakov, but she didn't expect such a cruel ending to greet him.
Although there was only one relationship, Draenor knew that Yakov was very different from his father, he was more of a strong warrior than a prince, and he never saw a trace of sadness on his face.
"Your brother is a warrior who dares to fight against fate, and I believe that he will turn into the stars in the sky to bless you like the elder kings." Tears welled up in the corners of Jeanne's eyes, and she stroked Yelena's hair, comforting her with a trembling voice.
Everyone stood in silence for more than ten minutes, and the dead can never be recovered, but there is still hope for salvation for those who remain.
Under the care of Viklico and Jeanne, Yelena finally regained her composure, and while she was still emotionally stable, Delano quickly asked her about what had happened before.
That scene was clearly reflected in Yelena's mind, she frowned slightly, and recounted her memories to everyone, "Not long after you left, Miss Moran and her brother pushed aside the stone slab and prepared to take us out of there. Who knew that just as we finally left the tomb, we ran into the 'Butley family' again, and Miss Moran and her brother fought hard, but they still couldn't escape their clutches......"
"Damn, didn't even Moran survive......" Sadness turned to rage, and Vikily slammed her fist into the metal wall, the pain in her chest more unbearable than the stabbing pain from her finger bones.
Draenor took out the magnolia flower that Moran had given him from his arms, and even though he had lost a petal, it was still so beautiful. Moran's magic still seems to be entangled in the stamens, and he will never forget the pure witch, hoping that without her protection, those good Bedouins can still live strongly.
He turned his head to look at Yelena, whose eyes were red, the royal siblings had done nothing wrong, no matter what, Yakov was still the only heir to the throne, and the real reason why the eldest king exiled them was definitely not that simple.
