The smell of blood mixed with the stench filled the hall on the first floor of the castle, and the nearby servants fled one after another, but several guards stepped forward, and then looked vigilantly at the source of the smell.

A few boxes!

Or rather, what's in the box!

It was a few bloody heads, dead eyes, white and blue skin, and coagulated black and red blood all over the hair and face..... The neck was neatly disconnected, revealing a blood-colored fault, from which a foul stench emanated.

The skull was quietly placed in the box, looking quite terrifying.

If the timid people watched here, they would probably have fainted in fright, but Alan was more courageous, just frowning and a little disgusted.

He was smoked.

The skull seemed to have been in the box for a long time, horrible, foul-smelling, stuffy, and disgusting.

How stinky is it?

The husky lying on the side had already sneezed and fled quickly, and was howling in the distance, as if he had palpitations, which showed how bad the stench was.

"It's... Old shark?"

A Baytown native of the guard exclaimed in disbelief after seeing the human head in a box.

The old shark is very famous in the bay, the old pirate who once dominated the bay, the leader of the blood shark pirate group, this guard has been frightened by his name since he was a child, and his memory is very deep.

In the past, I could only look up and fear, but now I saw him here, and he was beheaded and packaged in a box as a gift?

"That's Capron?"

"Sharon?"

"Adelaide, the sea snake, even ....."

A series of exclamations came from the mouths of the guards, and although they had already known the general idea in advance, Alan still had mixed feelings when he heard the names.

He knew these people too, because he had carefully investigated them when he was fighting the pirates, but he had never met them.

They are all leaders of pirate groups that were once active in the bay, and although they are not big enemies, they also bring him some trouble.

At the moment, the decapitation of former enemies being cut off and given to them as gifts seems to be a cause for joy.

However, Alan did not feel very happy, but kept alerting himself - the head of the person is separated, there is no corpse, and the fate of the loser is obviously not very good.

At the same time, the pair of eyes that were not blind made Allen even more vigilant in his heart, a simple failure is not very terrible, but the failure of being betrayed is obviously very aggrieved.

"Do you think I can trust him?"

Ordering his men to take out the boxes and throw them away, Alan turned to look at his chief of guard.

Kyle was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I don't think he did anything wrong, he is an undercover agent, and these pirates are all vicious murderers, and they have done countless bad things, and they are more than innocent to be killed." ”

It seemed that he thought Alan was asking this kind of question, but Alan only shook his head.

He doesn't have the mentality of a virgin, and if he talks about these fierce pirates, even if an ordinary person is beheaded, he probably won't feel any sadness.

Allen's kindness is limited to the people he knows, and for strangers and even enemies, he estimates that he will only say one sentence - what does it matter if you live or die.

The reason why I asked Kyle so much was just a potential vigilance against the betrayer, after all, whether it was an undercover agent or a real pirate, it was always difficult for a betrayer to be fully trusted.

But thinking of this, Alan suddenly reacted: "It seems that I don't need to trust him completely?"

Then he thought, "He doesn't seem to expect all my trust, does he?"

“......”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, shook off the thought, and strode towards the castle door.

There were still people waiting for him outside the castle, and the gifts brought by the Black Hand didn't stop there.

The guards were a little sensitive because of the skulls, so they also followed, and at the same time, the black and white dog that ran upstairs also ran down, as if it could sense Allen's movements.

So Norland, who was guarded outside the castle by two guards, suddenly found that he seemed to be surrounded.

A young boy dressed in ornate leather armor, handsome in appearance, dressed all over his body is not so much a warrior as a noble fancy boy, a tall armored guard, and a group of ordinary guards who are also dressed in the same costume.

Of course, there is also a dog that I have never seen before, I don't know what breed it is, with black hair and erect ears, and is wagging its tail and tilting its head to look at him curiously.

The circle of people who appeared in front of him made Norland stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely guessed something, and looked up at the face of the young man at the head.

"You're Alan Chrissy?"

Nodding, Alan didn't speak.

He was pondering what to do with the former pirate leader, and at the same time he was thinking about why the Black Hand would bring this man to him, wouldn't it be better to kill him halfway?

The young nobleman was lost in thought, but no one was as calm as he was.

It seemed that Allen's appearance brought a lot of mood swings to Noland, and he sneered and suddenly shouted under the eyes of everyone.

"How could you have defeated us if it weren't for your father? The Black Hand bitch wouldn't have been able to come here to slap you, do you really think you're powerful?"

The contemplation was interrupted, but Alan was not angry, but looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was half-kneeling strangely, wondering why he suddenly had a convulsion?

Irritated? Still unwilling?

There was no response, but the middle-aged man did not have the idea of calming down, and his mouth was entangled as if he had eaten gunpowder.

Or as if he was deliberately angry with Allen, the middle-aged pirate named Noland looked at the young man with a sneer, and continued: "What? Don't you deny this?

There were guards who wanted to drink him, but this kind of thing seemed to be very embarrassing, and the words that came to their lips lingered for a long time and did not come out, and they couldn't help but look at Allen with anticipation.

It seems that he will be angry and give orders because of this.

However, as a person concerned, Alan was not as annoyed and angry as the guards thought, but shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression: "Why should I deny it? ”

He was very thick-skinned, and didn't care about Norland's sarcasm at all, which made the middle-aged pirate speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to continue the words that had been planned in his heart for a long time, and then just when he was stunned, the young nobleman in front of him had already turned away, leaving only a sentence in his ear that he loved to ignore: "Parade around in a cage car, proclaim who he once was, and then cut him down for me in the square in front of Pochi Castle; ”

"Okay. ”

The tall guard nodded yes, and then scooped up Norland and prepared to carry out the young man's order.

This situation came a little suddenly, at this time, Noland could not care about his own planning, and he was busy resisting and seemed to keep struggling, shouting as he struggled: "Wait, wait! I have something to say!"

The prisoner, who had a disdainful expression before, was now speaking with a hint of pleading, and the attitude changed in an instant was breathtaking.

Picking up his guard, Kyle snorted coldly, "If you have something to say, let's wait until you die, Young Master Allen doesn't have time to pay attention to you." ”

The Captain's voice was cold, but Norland didn't bother to talk to Kyle at this time, and he yelled at Allen's departing back, "Secret! I have a secret, you must be interested!"

This sentence aroused Allen's interest, and he couldn't help but stop his steps and turned his head to look at Noland.

Noland, however, remained silent as if he had suddenly become dumb, staring at the guards around him with a wary expression.

So Kyle pressed him down and came to Alan's side.

"I'm watching you from afar, if you do anything wrong, be careful that I blow your head with an arrow!"

With that in his words, Kyle turned and walked forward for a while, then, as he had said, picked up a longbow from a nearby weapon rack, took the bow and shot an arrow, and pointed it at Norland.

It's just that he seems to be a little too much, because Nolan is now tied up behind his back, and there is no threat at all, and Alan is not as fragile as he thinks.

"So, what's your secret?"

The young nobleman looked curiously at the embarrassed middle-aged man at his feet, waiting for his follow-up.

However, Noland only shook his head at his question: "You have to use your family reputation to guarantee that you can't kill me after I say it!

This seemed a bit rude, as he was now only a prisoner, so he then added: "I think you should remember that I didn't cause you much trouble, and even today was the first time we met, and I have no grudge against you, for the main cause of the destruction of my pirate regiment was the black hand. ”

"The black hand is not your subordinate, if you can let me go, to tell you the truth, I will definitely find trouble with him, but I will definitely not look for you, I can use my family's reputation to ......"

Noland was afraid that Alan would not agree, but he seemed to think a little too much, and Alan didn't pay much attention to it, but interrupted him with interest: "If your news is worth that much, I think I can guarantee it." ”

"That's worth it!"

Noland said in a very affirmative tone: "For the sake of this secret, we did not hesitate to poison the former city lord, and then took the risk of luring the fishmen into the city to deal with you;
