153 Heirs to the High Court (2/9)
The assault on the inn at the mouth of the forest ended in a complete victory for the Iron People, and the travelers in the inn were no match for these murderous and outnumbered enemies.
Even the entire battle seemed to last less than ten minutes, and the noisy shouts and screams basically disappeared.
At this time, the sun in the sky was strong, but it still could not dispel the cold after winter, and not far away, in a dead branch forest, more than a dozen corpses were hung by the iron people at this time, shaking and being interrogated, and the blood gathered and dripped on the surface of the ground, blending into the soft soil and turning into patches of dark red, silently indicting this cruel world.
However, not all of them died on the spot, although the Iron Min's goal was to find out the news and kill them all, when the battle was over, when the Iron People had achieved their basic goal, there were still two alive people who were pressed to the head of the black-haired Iron People who was sitting on a chair in the hotel.
It's two people, one big and one small.
The older one was a scarred but still angry "man", while the smaller one was a sloppy child who looked honest.
"This woman killed six or seven of our good men, Leader Iren, and I don't think she's an easy identity."
A gray-haired old man kicked the silver-haired "man" who was tied up with five flowers as he spoke, and the other party responded with a threatening look, resulting in another slap in the face.
"No matter how simple it is, she's just a woman." Known as the leader of Iren, the black-haired ironfolk had a very distinct hooked nose, and his black eyes glanced with interest at the kneeling captives.
"But the posture is okay."
"She killed a lot of us."
There was a bald iron man next to him grinning: "Give her to me, Iren, and I will interrogate her properly." ”
"This is my captive!" After hearing this, the old iron man glanced at his bald head in displeasure, and provoked the other party to spit: "I'm doing it for your own good, Hollard, you are too old, you can't tame this kind of woman." ”
"I believe Holard has given her to me." The leader Yiren glanced at his bald head: "So this interrogation, it's better for me to do it myself." ”
After saying this, he ignored the iron man's expression, and looked at the scruffy boy next to the female captive.
"What's going on?"
"When we went to the stables to inspect the horses, we found that he was about to run over the wall." A middle-aged Tiemin replied: "There are two of us brothers in the backyard, who had their throats cut, but the murderer was not found. ”
"So you suspect this kid did it?"
The bald iron man who was unwilling on the side said mockingly when he heard this: "This is really rare, two good hands were solved by a child whose hair has not yet grown, and those who don't know still think that our iron breed is a group of wrecks?" ”
"Shut up, Mulder, it's because I didn't find the killer that I brought this kid here." The middle-aged Tiemin glared at the bald head, then looked down at the black-haired boy.
"And I suspect that his identity is not simple, you look at his hands and neck, ordinary peasant children will not be as tender as him."
With these words, the black-haired iron man in the lead took his eyes off the female captive's chest and turned to look at the boy. The more than twenty people around him, who were either sitting at the table or simply standing, also looked at the sloppy boy with his head down.
Apparently startled by this, he spoke in a very weak voice: "I-I don't know how those two died, they were dead when I got there, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”
This did not arouse the suspicion of the Iron People, after all, the boy looked to be only six or seven years old, and at this age, even in the fierce Iron Islands, he was still playing with mud, and it was impossible to kill two Iron People so neatly.
"Who are you, then, child?"
The leader of the Iron People, named Iren, asked with interest, "Where are you from?" Why is it here? Honestly, maybe we'll let you go when we find out. ”
The boy opened his mouth, but before he could speak, someone answered the question for him.
"He's the guy you King Balon wants!" The tall female captive, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly said, "Someone hired me to kidnap him and send him to the Iron Islands to hand him over to your Lord Balon!" ”
These words made the group of iron people who didn't care much stunned, and after glancing at each other, they all looked at the black-haired Yiren who was the leader, and the other party frowned at this time, glanced at the boy, and then looked at the female captive.
"Didn't my brother say anything about it, hired you to kidnap a child?"
He narrowed his eyes as he spoke: "And it's still a woman hired who started to fight directly after seeing us?" Tell me, if you're really hired by us, why don't you say it? ”
"Your people didn't give me a chance to say it!" The woman retorted: "If I don't resist, will I wait to be slaughtered?" ”
"That's ......"
The other party nodded suddenly: "Maybe after the interrogation is over, I will cut your tongue first, and then send you to my brother to ask for details, maybe he will be happy to interrogate you once." ”
These words made the silver-haired woman's face instantly turn red, but she didn't say anything about it, but gritted her teeth and said, "It's not me hired by Baron himself, it's someone else. ”
"So, who is this other person?" The other party raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I don't know who it is, but it's certainly your friend of the Iron Isles!"
"The friends of the Iron Islands wouldn't hire a woman to do such a thing."
"Sometimes it's more convenient for a woman than for a man!"
The leader Tiemin wanted to say something more when he heard this, but the bald Tiemin on the side interjected impatiently: "Don't swallow and vomit, since you said that our King Balon wants this kid, then who is he?" ”
"Randolph. Tully's eldest son, heir to the Tully family of Riverbend! Without hesitation, the woman said, "His father is currently at war with you, and I think you should be able to understand how important this captive is." ”
When these words fell, the face of the boy with his head bowed on the side became a little strange, and the iron people around him were stunned and full of confusion, only the leader Yi Lun squinted.
"As far as I know, Lan Dao. Tully only has a son who is just over a year old, when did he pop up with such a big eldest son? ”
These words made the captive woman's expression stunned, and the surrounding iron people also looked at her with ill intentions one by one, and the old iron people who pressed the woman kicked the captive to the ground, and said angrily: "Bitch who loves to lie, you are still not honest, see how we will deal with you later!" ”
"What I said is true! Maybe you're mistaken, this-" The person who was kicked didn't care about the anger, and after a moment of dazed stunnedness, he also had some recollection, so he suddenly looked at the boy next to him.
"Boy, who the hell are you!?"
"I-"
The boy hesitated for a moment, then faced the gazes of the people around him, and whispered, "My name is Vilas, Vilas. Tyrrell. ”
"Heir to the High Court."
When the words fell, all the iron people were stunned, and then they couldn't help but look at each other.
