Chapter 670: The Sealed Room
Luna instantly hid the tears in her eyes, turned to look at the maid with a defensive face, and a fierce red glow appeared in her eyes, but before she could knock the person unconscious, the maid rolled her eyes at the moment of meeting Luna's eyes, and fell straight to the ground.
As the maid fell to the ground and turned into a beast, in the room, which didn't smell too good, there was immediately a foul smell of rotting meat, which also spread around the maid.
The defensive and cruel look on Luna's face instantly stiffened, obviously confused by the gray and white beast that looked like a dog and a mouse wrapped in the maid's dress.
She moved her ears subconsciously, in the days of wandering, she had also seen some orcs who would pretend to be dead when they encountered danger and fright, but what about the heartbeat of this maid?!
You can't really be so scared to death, right?
Although Howard's location is undoubtedly the Marquis's mansion, Luna, who doesn't know what the situation is in Robben City now, really doesn't plan to let go of this maid easily, but this is dead, isn't it too ......
She, she, she......
Luna's mouth trembled a little, and she looked at Howard with a blank look that scared people to death for the first time in her life.
"Huh...... Ahem...... She's a possum orc, she's not dead, it's just, well, let's just pretend, it's not the first time, just give her some time to slow down......"
Howard's withered face, with Luna's obviously frightened and overly stunned appearance, bloomed into a smile that had not returned to the splendor of the past, and said in a rough voice like the friction of sand and stones.
The tears that had been suppressed by Luna because of the maid's sudden scream could no longer be suppressed at this moment.
She didn't care if it was really the dead maid, she turned and knelt beside Howard's bed, and reached out with a slightly trembling hand, but she didn't dare to touch Howard's black, red, swollen and burned arm at her side.
"They, how can they ......" Luna bit her lip and tried to suppress the low growl in her throat, but she couldn't control the tears that were pouring out of her throat.
From the moment the maid screamed, she hadn't heard anyone's footsteps, and with Howard's explanation that wasn't the first time, there was nothing Luna didn't understand.
"Your Highness, don't cry, the most important thing is that you're okay. I'm already feeling lucky to have survived that situation, ahem...... When the king conquers the city of Robben, everything will be fine. ”
Howard struggled to lift his black-and-red hand, which was covered with burns that seemed to never heal, but it didn't touch Luna's cheek.
Luna watched with tears in her eyes as Howard lifted and lowered her hand, she actually wanted to grab it and tell Howard that she didn't mind, but she also knew that touching the burned hand would only increase Howard's pain.
"You wait. ”
Luna hurriedly raised her arm to wipe away the tears that obstructed her vision, quickly removed her rucksack, groped for a potion from it, wiped it on the tip of the potion with her fingertips, and carefully put the potion to Howard's chapped and bloody lips.
With a smile in his eyes, Howard didn't ask anything, but opened his lips slightly, allowing Luna to pour the strange, unspeakable-tasting potion into his mouth.
Seeing that Howard swallowed the potion without saying a word, looking completely trusting, the tears that Luna had just held back dripped down uncontrollably, but she didn't say more, only said:
"You rest first, and the rest will wait until you are recuperate. ”
"Don't go out, no one will come in. Every morning and evening, someone will come in from outside the door to deliver food, and as long as you don't show your face, there is no problem. ”
As the potion began to take effect, Howard could clearly feel the pain all over his body be relieved, and without the pain that kept him awake at night, the feeling of exhaustion immediately surged, and he only had time to briefly tell Luna a few words, and was dragged into the black abyss.
It wasn't until Howard's heavy bellows-like gasp slowly leveled off, and in Luna's mind, Howard's vital signs began to slowly regain due to the effects of the potion she had taken, that she moved her gaze locked on Howard to the rest of the room.
This room should be a guest room, the area is not small, but the doors and windows are closed, and the room is filled with the excrement of Howard and the maid, as well as the smell of corruption on the two of them, which is really unpleasant.
Luna cautiously approached the window, trying to keep her figure from being seen by outsiders as much as possible, and she tried to push and pull the closed window a few times, only to find that there were several finger-wide metal strips like bookpins lying across the seams of the window frames.
It even seems that someone is afraid that someone will pick up the metal that is buried deep in the wooden window frame at both ends, and the outside is covered with a layer of transparent hard glue that does not leave your hands behind.
Luna relentlessly checks the other windows, but each one is the same, and all of them are sealed and dead.
Looking at the sealed window, Luna pursed her lips, although she wanted to smash the broken window immediately, but after looking at Howard, who fell into a coma and was still frowning, she still gave up.
Luna leaned against the corner of the window, staring coldly at the room.
A gap had been cut in the part of the door near the ground, and the stubble and metal breaks in the gap were still fresh.
At this point, the place was blocked from the outside, and according to Howard, it should have been opened sooner or later to deliver water and even excrement for the two of them.
Although Luna found no signs of being nailed to the door frame, judging by the urine of this room, even the windows were sealed, she didn't try to push and pull the door and do some useless work.
The room was a bit messy, as if it had been looted by robbers, and all the metal decorations and ornaments were gone, except for the basic furniture that was still beautifully carved.
On the couch not far away, there was a loose bed, and Luna narrowed her eyes as she looked at the possum that had fallen to the ground and still couldn't hear its heartbeat.
She walked over quickly, and by the handmaiden's dress, she quickly dragged the maid, who was full of decay, like a real dead thing, into a corner, and then, with a cat, moved quickly to the sofa, and pinched the sparse linen skin in her hand.
Squatting in the corner, Luna looked at the leather strip that she had torn out of the animal skin quilt with satisfaction, and became a handmaiden with a rice dumpling, and then she pulled a piece of linen cloth and wrapped the opossum maid's mouth firmly, and then she pulled the skirt that belonged to the maid and quickly put it on her body.
