0443 Cadaveric Punishment
The Black Castle is the royal palace of the Dark Witch.
The futon landed at the gate of the castle, and there were already groups of palace guards lined up around them, and the person in charge of greeting them was a palace guard chief with a battle axe on his back.
Zhang Qingfeng followed the chief of the guard into the ancient castle, and it didn't take long for him to meet the supreme ruler of the Black Witch Clan, King Cachino.
Uncharacteristically, King Caccino is not a dwarf!
He has a height of about 1.75 meters, a slender and well-proportioned figure, a charming brown wavy hair draped over his shoulders, a porcelain white face with delicate facial features, and the most striking thing is that the blue eyes, which exude a bright luster like a jewel.
Seeing Zhang Qingfeng, Cachino left the throne and got up to greet him.
"I have long heard of the prestige of the Blue Emperor, and I never imagined that it would be an honor for the king to meet here. ”
Cachino was full of smiles and amiable, and greeted Zhang Qingfeng in the pure continental lingua franca.
Zhang Qingfeng also smiled, nodded in return, and then sat down.
The next thing is to greet each other politely.
Someone brought wine, and the two sides chatted while drinking, talking about the customs and customs of the two ethnic groups, anecdotes, and listened to the fat monk and the little black dragon stunned for a moment, and felt very novel.
Half an hour later, Zhang Qingfeng changed his words and explained his intentions: "This time I took the liberty to enter the noble territory because three friends disappeared in the swamp, so I came to ask Your Majesty if there are any whereabouts of them. ”
Cachino said: "Friend of Lord Qingdi, I don't know what he looks like?"
Zhang Qingfeng took out the portraits of the three and handed them to Cachino.
Cachino took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and handed it to the chief of the guard, "Take these three portraits, go to the major tribes to inquire, and anyone who has seen these three people will report it immediately." ”
"Yes. ”
The chief of the guard ordered him to leave, and it wasn't long before he returned.
"Your Majesty, it's been found out, these three people were arrested and put in a black prison a hundred years ago for slaughtering our warriors, but it's ......"
"But what?" asked Cachino.
"But three years ago, they all died in prison because they couldn't bear the punishment of their jailers. ”
"What?"
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Zhang Qingfeng stood up, "Are they all dead?"
The chief of the guard, who had already learned Zhang Qingfeng's identity, nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, it is a felony to slaughter the warriors of our clan, and anyone who is caught will be sent to the dungeon to be punished, and the three of them failed to survive in the end, so ......"
Hearing the captain of the guard say this, Cachino also had an apologetic look on his face.
"Lord Qingdi, I'm really sorry, people can't be resurrected after death, I really didn't expect that your friends would make trouble in my clan, you also know that my clan has always been a person who doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone, I deeply regret what happened to your three friends. ”
Zhang Qingfeng stood there, as if he was stupid.
He went deep into the swamp this time, just to find the three of Hua Mantian, and now he finally got the news that the person was dead, although the murderer who killed them was in front of him, but he couldn't take revenge, this result made Zhang Qingfeng feel like someone had poured a bucket of ice water, cold from the top of his head to his heels.
After a long time, Zhang Qingfeng came to his senses, he looked at the chief of the guard and asked, "Where are their bodies buried?"
The chief guard said: "Those three people are felons, and after they were caught, they were directly imprisoned in the underground underground dungeon of the royal family, according to the laws of our clan, after the death of the felon, they must first accept the corpse punishment of ten thousand Gu devourers, and they will be cleared out of the prison after five years, and now their bodies are still in the underground dungeon." ”
"What?corpse punishment?" Before Zhang Qingfeng could speak, the fat monk took the case and said angrily: "You are too cruel, aren't you? Don't even let go of the corpse? I have heard of this ten thousand Gu devouring body, it is said that all the corpses that are devoured do not even have the opportunity to be reincarnated, how can you ...... this kind of cruel and inhumane criminal law?"
The fat monk only stopped halfway through his words, because he saw Zhang Qingfeng's gesture to silence him.
"Your Majesty. Zhang Qingfeng saluted to Cachino, "Killing people pays for their lives, it is justified, since my three friends have killed someone, they should be punished, but the human race has the custom of entering the earth for peace, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to the next request, let me go and collect the bodies of my three friends?"
"Of course, the chief of the guard, take the Blue Emperor to the dungeon!"
Caccino agreed without even thinking about it.
......
......
Dungeon.
Dim and damp.
There was a disgusting rancid smell everywhere.
Zhang Qingfeng and the three of them, under the leadership of the chief guard, walked down the stairs through the dark corridors and walked towards the depths of the dungeon.
"Brother. ”
The little black dragon's biography sounded.
Zhang Qingfeng glanced at her.
"I'm scared. ”
This is the second time that the little black dragon has said that he is scared since he entered the Blackwater Swamp.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Qingfeng asked the little black dragon through the master-servant contract.
"I don't know, I'm afraid. ”
This answer is no different from the answer not long ago, perhaps it is precisely because I don't know what I am afraid of, which makes it even more frightening.
"Otherwise, you will go up there and wait for my brother, who will be there soon." Zhang Qingfeng proposed.
"No! I'm going to be with my brother. ”
The little black dragon refused, as if he was afraid of being thrown away by Zhang Qingfeng, and his other little hand also grabbed his arm.
"Big brother, this dungeon is a bit deep. As he walked, he looked at the fat monk around and sent a message to Zhang Qingfeng, "If these gangs don't have good intentions and take the entrance to the dungeon, we will be trapped here." ”
Zhang Qingfeng smiled faintly and said: "No, even if someone has bad intentions, they won't do it here, a small dungeon wants to trap us, but it's not that easy, besides, we didn't offend them, right?"
The three of them were all masters, and the secret method transmission naturally did not fall into the ears of others, and in the dungeon, with the dim light emitted by the torches on the walls on both sides, it took a full time to walk two incense sticks before stopping at the end of a passage.
The captain of the guard took out the key and opened the door, and several rats hiding in the door were frightened and fled in a hurry, the sound of squeaking heard far and wide in the small space of the dungeon.
"Lord Qingdi, this is the dungeon where your three friends are being held. ”
The chief guard flashed to the side and made way for Zhang Qingfeng.
"Thank you. ”
Zhang Qingfeng thanked him and walked in.
There are no lights in the dungeon, but for Zhang Qingfeng and the others, it makes no difference whether there is a lamp or not, in the eyes of the masters of the Seven Realms, the darkness is no different from the day.
The cell was very large, covering thousands of square meters, and in the middle of the cell, there were three large iron cages lined up, each containing a skeleton.
Zhang Qingfeng stepped on the slippery and dirty ground and came to the iron cage on the far left.
The iron cage is forged from arm-thick iron bars, and on the door of the cage, which is only half a person high, hangs a large iron lock the size of two palms, and the rust and stains on the lock are full of traces of time.
The fat monk who followed behind Zhang Qingfeng stepped forward, grabbed the big lock, and slammed it hard, only to hear a click, and the lock nose broke in response.
"Big brother, I can't seem to get in......"
The fat monk looked at the cage door the size of a dog's hole, and then looked at his waist, the thickness of his water tank, and his face was embarrassed.
"I'll do it. ”
Zhang Qingfeng waved his hand and bent down into the cage.
