Chapter 24: Men Have No Privileges
A bloody battle, leaving dead bodies everywhere.
More than a dozen guards were killed on the spot, two male servants were killed, and the female servants were relatively small because they did not pose a threat, and basically survived.
And the attackers didn't stay complacent for long. In the subsequent rout, nearly thirty people were also killed, and in general, they did not take advantage of it at all.
Most of these guards are temporarily recruited adventurers, and they are quite familiar with each other, although they are usually unconvinced by each other, and they also wrestle secretly, but when it comes to life and death, there are still some indescribable sadness and pain.
The atmosphere is a bit dreary!
Yun Lang sat on a large rock nearby, looking at the entire battlefield from afar, and his heart was not easy. However, he didn't have enough time for him to understand this, because he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Two male servants and one female servant knelt tremblingly in front of him, slumped to the ground, their faces like ashes.
He sighed, and he didn't plan to ask them too much, so he said lightly: "As long as you tell the truth, who are you all working for, you can leave!"
Yun Lang's words, except for Vivian, felt incredible, and even the three people kneeling on the ground were a little stunned.
Everyone knows that what Yun Lang said is extremely trustworthy, and as long as he opens his mouth, he will definitely fulfill it. It's just that they really can't understand why Yunlang would let them go so easily!
Seeing that they hesitated, Vivien angrily rebuked, "The master has given you a chance, don't let down this rare kindness......!" Hmph!"
The three of them were especially afraid of Vivian, who was decisive and unrelenting, and as soon as she spoke, the three of them didn't dare to insist anymore.
"My lord, I ...... I'm working for the White family in Shining Gold......" One of the manservants, gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.
Hearing this, Yun Lang searched his memory and asked, "Flash Gold Town...... Is the White family in charge of the guards in Shining Gold?"
The manservant shook his head a little timidly, and replied truthfully: "I...... Not long ago, they gave me a token, saying that if I met someone with the same token, I would take the initiative to identify myself with him and do what they instructed. Just now, I saw an attacker, wearing a similar pattern of ornaments, and took the initiative to reveal his identity, and it was then that I learned that this token was the ...... of the White family."
Yunlang took the token and looked at it carefully,
Brass texture, overall triangle, thumb size, the front of the motif is a wolf roaring full moon, the back of the motif is a chain of flowers.
He didn't know much about the flowers in the picture, what kind of flowers they were, so he took the opportunity to ask Vivian on the side: "Do you know this flower?"
“....... Some of them look like wolf chrysanthemums. Vivien said uncertainly.
Yun Lang looked down again, and found that the blooming flowers really resembled a wolf's head, and he was immediately convinced of seven or eight points.
He returned the token again, and said lightly: "Take it, leave quickly! If you can still contact them, bring me a word, just say, 'I want to talk to you'!"
"Yes, yes!" the manservant agreed, got up cautiously, saw that the guards around him were not blocked, and immediately ran away.
Although the edge of the Twilight Forest is still not a safe place, it is better than staying here. In particular, if Yun Lang changes his attention again, then he will have no chance of survival.
Looking at him, Yun Lang smiled coldly and turned to the remaining two.
He kept his promise and let one spy go on the spot, and the other two had no worries.
The maid scrambled to speak: "My lord, I am working for Lord Yunlu......"
"What?" Vivien exclaimed before the maid could finish speaking.
The maid was taken aback and immediately did not dare to speak.
Seeing this, Yun Lang hurriedly persuaded softly: "Don't be afraid, I promised you, as long as you tell the truth, you can leave safely!"
In order to confirm her identity, the maid also took out the token, which was a copper square bronze medallion, one inch in size, with white clouds on the front and the general shape of Corrante City behind it.
Yun Lang also took it and looked at it carefully, and asked with some doubts: "I remember that this token is a general token of the spies of the Liuyun family......! What did she give you?"
Yunlu Liuyun is his eldest sister.
In his memory, although the relationship between the eldest sister and him was not very good, it was not to the extent that he could not tolerate the other party, so he was a little confused.
"My lord, there is a sign on the side of the token!" she reminded.
Yunlang took a look and really saw the logo. It seems that it should be a triangular symbol that was temporarily added after the token was made.
But that still doesn't prove that it's really his eldest sister.......
"Okay, tell me why you took the initiative to contact those attackers!" he asked more directly.
The maid hesitated, as if she had made up her mind, and replied, "I was scared when those people caught me, and I answered whatever they asked, and I was nervous...... Just tell the secret!"
Yun Lang couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth....... But I don't want to ask any more!
Because, he didn't really care.
Whether these people tell the truth or falsehood, it will not affect the overall situation! If you continue to dwell on these things, you may even go astray!
What he wants most now is a "respite", not a quick retribution!
After returning the token, he also said lightly: "Okay, you can also leave, and accordingly, you can also bring me a message, it is still 'I want to talk to you'!"
The maid was overjoyed and gave gifts again and again.
However, she did not get up to leave, but continued to plead: "My lord, there are too many beasts and monsters in the Twilight Forest, and I can't get out of here safely, please take me out of here......"
"Bold ......," Vivien couldn't help but be furious.
"Poof!" Yun Lang laughed.
He hurriedly stopped Vivien and persuaded, "Let's be a good person to the end, give her another ride, and let her leave when she is out of the range of the Twilight Forest!"
Vivien was helpless, forced her doubts, and chose to do so.
When it was the last manservant's turn, he couldn't answer because he didn't have any tokens.
"Your Excellency...... Those people didn't give me a token, but they tricked me into eating a poison, and if I didn't take the antidote every month, I would have a headache and my limbs would be weak......"
"Alright, alright...... Tell me why you're in contact with those attackers!"
"Oh......" He wanted to say in detail to win a little favor, and then also asked Yun Lang to protect him from the range of the Twilight Forest, but he didn't expect that Yun Lang didn't want to hear it at all, and he was a little disappointed.
In desperation, he had to fight his spirits and continued to answer: "I saw that among those attackers, a few of them seemed to be the ones who gave me the antidote......"
"Alright, you can go!" Yun Lang waved his hand to let him leave.
The manservant was stunned, hesitated to stand up, glanced at the maid, and boldly asked, "My lord, don't you need me to pass on the word for you?"
"No need!" Yun Lang was a little impatient.
This guy is so special, even he is confused, what else can you expect from him?
His face was stunned, but he still pleaded cheekily, "My lord, can you wait until you leave the range of the Twilight Forest before you drive me away!"
Yun Lang's face straightened, and he asked thoughtlessly: "Are you a woman?"
"Ah...... I'm a man!" The manservant replied subconsciously, a little confused.
"Men don't have privileges!" Yun Lang didn't want to pay any attention to him, and waved his hand for the guards to drive him away.
