Chapter 123: Rescue (2)

Kerry stood in a corner covered by a veil, holding his breath, Cremar made a gesture and chanted a spell softly, something landed on the Elven Ranger, he looked up and saw nothing- But he found that his cloak had turned a shaggy gray, as the ladies and attendants used to wear, and was made of the skin of a large gray squirrel that lived at the edge of the forest and in the bushes, and that the squirrel could grow to fifteen inches to its head and tail, and was so fertile, that its fur was less precious, but at least better than that of a rabbit or a vole.

The clasp of the cloak has also changed from a mythril pin inlaid with fluorite to a normal silver pin, followed by the outer robe, the elf's robe is a plain silver-gray color, because it is mixed with spider silk and mythril so it has a metallic texture, and now it has been changed to a soft burgundy jacquard silk, and the long hair that hangs down the shoulders has become dark brown and curly.

"Illusion?"

"It's just a little trick. The lich replied, and began to disguise himself instead, black hair and black eyes were extremely distinctive features, and the former undead did not do much to do more, but only lightened their color, "This makes you look a bit like a member of the Doncre family." The elf commented that the power of the magic poured down like a stream, and the caster's white robe (which was also one of the deadly features) turned into a dark blue silk, which was the burgundy of the Kerry himself, the two colors that the nobles of the royal capital had chosen the most - the caster's staff became elongated, the surface became rough and black, and the talons holding the ruby at the tip grew upwards, wrapping around the gem and combining into a multi-angular triangular body, so that it looked like a spear that could be found everywhere.

"Oh, and this. The lich said, touching Kerriben's twin knives, and "Silver Crown" and "Starlight" appeared no less than a hundred times in the bard's ballads.

"Even so," Carey said, "they'll know who took Birdwin." ”

"So what?" said the lich, "is it possible to conjecture and think that it can be used as evidence to set the scales of Tyre?, not to mention ......"

The elf looked at his weapon curiously, the touch and weight did not change at all, only the vision: "What?"

"If we move fast enough. The former immortal said, "Take the new king away before he can judge him before the people - then, in a way, Baldwin is not a sinner, because his guilt has not been conclusively convicted, and we have only taken a friend so that he will not be wronged and tormented after losing his patron - as far as I know, Baldwin is highly respected by the people, who will believe him, protect him, and support him." Instead of the nobles of the royal capital vying to peel him off...... Alas, a wretched man who has suffered unjustly, a hero who suffers, a knight who has been steadfast, the bard will be able to concoct a dozen or so beautiful stories of twists and turns, so that whatever he wishes to do afterwards, he will survive, plead, atone, or serve another nation or lord......"

"I'm afraid no one would want to accept a knight who has lost Tyre's favor. Carey Ben said.

Not necessarily, the lich said secretly, his mentor's tower had a lot of such cuties. "This is also a helpless thing, as a knight of Tyre, a single dereliction of duty is enough to make him lose his divine grace. "And as a former undead, the Lich was not at all optimistic about King Baldwin's previous relationship. The King's wistful appearance almost made a skeleton vomit out the fire of his soul - only the stupid Knight of Tyre would turn a blind eye to all kinds of discord - and he opened the curtain, and several of his attendants were hurrying through the corridor with their spears in their spears as they shouted "The old king is dead, long live the new king", while two handmaidens probed their heads into the procession. It didn't take much effort for the Lich and Kerry to get into them.

After changing teams several times in a row, Kerry was heartily grateful that he had followed Cremar's advice - the royal court was in chaos, and the attendants and female officials were running out. There were also those who went inside, the well-guarded guards had become disorganized by the loss of their principals, and some well-informed nobles had managed to enter the royal court, and they had brought their attendants and female officers, and the wise ones were rushing to see Duke John, now the new king, while the stupid ones were asking where the princess Leona was, and did they think that the girl could still be the lord of a country?

But they have been of great help to Keriben and the Lich, and strange faces who were walking in the royal court would have been intercepted and interrogated, but now, who can control whom, and who is willing to take care of whom?

There were not even torches lit in the courtyard, and the vast sky was as clear and deep as precious obsidian.

The prison of the royal court was a high, separate tower, and the rooms in the tower were inhabited by a number of noble prisoners - for example, the captives of a certain battle, either kings or lords, or wealthy knights, who were to be entertained like important guests while waiting for their families to pay a ransom, with good food, good wine, servants, and bards who were called to play music and sing poetry, and, if they wished, to occasionally take part in one or two jousting tournaments in the royal court - Of course, it wouldn't be Baldwin, but Princess Leona drew them a crude map, pointing out the three passages under the tower, each leading to more than twenty prisons, and her father had taken her down to count them after he had identified her as heir. The sinners in it were all unforgivable in her father's eyes, and Leona was most impressed by a former lord who was condemned as a traitor for refusing to pay knights and taxes to the king, and after five successive wars, large and small, he was imprisoned by the victorious king, chained between his hands and feet, so short that he could only crawl, his knees were boneless, his fingernails were curled like the tentacles of plants, his eyes were covered with white mist, he was blind, but he remembered the smell of his enemies and the voice of his enemies, and as the king slowly passed by, he struck his head and shoulders against the iron cage and roared, and there were no teeth or tongue in his mouth, is a bottomless dark cavern, Leona has had countless nightmares of being swallowed by this terrible black hole.

And he was the best sinner in the entire prison, and Leona couldn't imagine what it would be like for Baldwin to be one of them.

The Prison Tower was probably the only one with the same level of vigilance as the Tower where the new king lived, and it was easy for Kerribben and Cremar to find two hidden mages, no less than three dozen knights and soldiers, and it was unknown what happened to the tower.

Thankfully, the two casters weren't high-level mages, and they weren't vigilant enough. After all, both the new king and Fukai are still waiting for Kerryben's inquiries and questions.

&&&

Mei Mi took two steps out, wanting to learn more about the outside world, and her instinct told her that something terrible was happening—that she had to be treated with a lot of preferential treatment in every way because she was a woman, with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance, and she had to walk in, not dragged in, though with tears in her eyes. But it doesn't prevent her from seeing everything she can see clearly, and who knows when it will come in handy?

She remembered that when they entered the tower, they went down through a secret door in the ground, the staircase was very steep and narrow, and there was no light, and they could only look at the bottom of the light, which was a circular cavern with three passages, and the guard asked the knight who had brought her where the beautiful woman was to be taken. The knight said to the left - and later, when the guards were willing to talk to Memey, praised her as a rare lucky one.

"Then I might be released," asked Memmy, pretending to be ignorant.

The guard laughed, "No," he said cruelly, "you won't be let out as long as you get down, beauty." You will die the same, but you will only be hanged, and I swear that by then I will crush your neck bone with my knee first, so that you will die quickly and without pain. ”

Memmy didn't ask what would happen to the sinners in the remaining two passages. What if they knew they were going to be tortured? She had never been a person to numb herself, she wanted to live, she wanted to live anyway.

She had thought about trying to strangle the guards after they entered her cage to get the key to him. But they weren't stupid people who would be smitten at the sight of a woman, they only came in one person at a time, and the other person locked the door of the iron cage outside.

Mei Mi tried a lot of things, but in the end it was to no avail, but she didn't give up - there was always a chance, it was up to her to catch it.

She almost embedded her face in the crack of the iron cage, and listened attentively with one ear—the end of the three passages, or the cave at the beginning, should have been an execution chamber, and in that brief moment Memmy saw the iron nail chair, the tongue puller, the iron fork, the punishment shoe, and the blossoming pear...... There was also a wooden bed for the punishment of wooden boots and cat's claws, and for the first time in so many days, she had heard the screams of the torturers, and it felt a little familiar.

Then she heard a name, Baldwin, oh, the honorable lord, the poor lord, and Maemy was not so surprised at this, the vulgar and stupid village woman, the woman named Penny, the priest of Flo had made her and ruined her, and her husband was Baldwin Doncre, but since he had fallen here, the surname Doncre should no longer belong to him.

The bastard, called Hyena, was fortunate that Maemy had not met him before, and was interested in enumerating all sorts of punishments - even a brainless octopus could tell that he had a deep grudge against Berdwin, and now he had found a good opportunity to vent and take revenge, and his enemy was in front of him, weak and mean, and he could do whatever he wanted. Mei Mi found the image of the lord in her memories, wearing a full suit of armor, gray eyes and gray hair, burly like a bear with an upright head, not beautiful but with an indescribable charm, he was not a bad person, just like he treated his subordinates and Mei Mi. He knew what Flo's priest was, but he never mocked his servant rudely and refused his request—he allowed him to take him with him, and after he insisted that he stay in the royal capital instead of following him to Thundercastle, he had the other servants bring her a hundred gold coins, and half-threateningly reminded her that it was best not to break the child's heart too much.

What a good man, Mei Mi thought, but good people always suffer from sin.

She had almost forgotten what she was going to do, when she was awakened by a fierce fight and shouting—a man was arguing with a hyena, and he adamantly refused to allow the hyena to use any punishment—Baldwin had not yet been found guilty, and the cruel beheading or other punishment was to be inflicted on an innocent man, neither the laws of the Highlands Norman nor Tyre were permitted.

Memy heard his voice, she thought hard, it was a man with one eye blind, tall, I heard that he was originally a knight of Duke John, because he failed to complete a certain task and was sent here by the Duke to be a lowly jailer, and he was also a good man, he had never entered Memi's iron cage, and when those people tortured her too much, he would beat the iron cage to warn them.

Unfortunately, good people are always unlucky, and after a while, a corpse was dragged into the prison where Mei Mi was.

"How?" asked one of the guards.

"He was accidentally killed by a sinner. His companion said.

"Who?" the guard looked at Meimi, "It can't be her......

"Of course not," said his companion, "the thief would be more suitable, he is said to be dangerous." ”

"Where's the thief?"

"In the chest," said the guard's companion mysteriously, "sometimes he would turn into a pile of red powder, and people would think he was dead in order to escape—so they packed him into the box and cast the crevice with lead. ”

"But if he's in a box, how did he get out and kill a guard?"

"Who knows, the thief always has his way," said the companion unhappily, for he had also discovered the problem: "Look, there is a little lid on the chest with a lock, which allows only one hand to reach out, and I have been ordered to open the lid every once in a while to see if he is still alive." ”

He walked over and opened the little lid: "Look." We can say that he suddenly spat out a dagger from his mouth. ”

"Seventeen spit out?" the guard shook his head, but after satisfying his curiosity, he was no longer interested in the box, "Let's just say it." He decided.

&&&

The guardians of the tower shouted and panicked as a large flaming spider suddenly climbed from the top of the tower, then shrunk down and slipped through the window, and the next moment flames burst out of the window.

The room in the tower imprisoned a noble lord and lord, worth half a million gold coins. Two knights, worth 60,000 gold coins. A merchant, worth 100,000 gold coins and a vineyard.

So they all rushed up to the tower to save people.
