In a large, bright room, with a thick crimson carpet on the floor, in the center of the hall a few sets of light red sofas wrapped in unknown fabrics, surrounded by an elegant brown wooden coffee table with steaming unknown drinks, Xia Dong sat quietly waiting for Helois and her father, Viscount Montolivo.

After entering the castle, the butler Thomas, who had gray hair combed neatly, wore a serious black suit and a bow tie of the same color, took Helois back to dress up and wash up as soon as possible, as a nobleman, her current image was too rude.

So Xia Dong had to wait alone in the living room, fortunately, he was prepared, women are usually very slow when doing this kind of thing, very slowly!

Although the palatial room made him a little emotional, but it has not yet reached the point of envy and temptation, he has not seen it on the earth than this high-end, although he is now down, but he has seen it before, and his vision is still there.

It was only after waiting for a long time, until the drinks on the coffee table were changed twice, and still didn't see Helois appear, he finally felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Helois didn't come, and Viscount Montolivo, as her father, should always come to see him, right?

No matter how you say it, you saved his daughter!

But after thinking about it, maybe their father and daughter hadn't seen each other for too long and were too excited, so they neglected themselves, after all, they were just a commoner in his father's eyes.

Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows lined with lace curtains on both sides, the beautiful garden was filled with maids who came and went from time to time, all of whom were servants of the viscount.

The nobility of this world is really comfortable, there are so many maids, it is estimated that even Leander's villa is not so luxurious, not to mention the poor himself in this world, I really hope Fu Xueqin is still around!

Compared with the life of the aristocracy, Xia Dong, who felt slightly aggrieved, suddenly heard a sound of armor crashing, and at the same time, there seemed to be a burst of heavy footsteps.

"Bang", before Xia Dong could figure it out, the main door of the living room was suddenly pushed open, and a team of soldiers wearing silver dazzling chain mail rushed in, and soon stood in a circle around him, and the weapons in their hands were aimed at him.

What's going on? Xia Dong, who was inexplicable, slowly stood up, a little puzzled by what was happening.

Bringing Herois back from such a long distance, brother has hard work even if he has no merit, right? Besides, if the viscount really doesn't want to thank me, then just drive me away, there's no need to be so excited, right?

"According to Herois? Mademoiselle Judur's accusation that the commoner named Chardon colluded with thieves to rob innocent passers-by and led to the death of a large number of valiant escorts, and according to the laws of the kingdom, he should be taken into custody and hanged, but because of the mercy of His Excellency Viscount Montolivo, Shardon is now escorted to a distant fortress and placed in a camp of atonement according to the Holy Code, and it is up to the High Triad to decide whether his crime is worthy of forgiveness and executed immediately! ”

A man dressed in golden plate armor strode up to Xia Dong, and announced his order in a loud voice, after speaking, the knight with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a square face pulled down his covered armor, his burly figure approached Xia Dong, and his hands with iron gloves searched back and forth on him for a moment, and then took out the money bag that the eldest brother gave him when he was leaving.

Opening the money bag and looking at the bright gold coins inside, the knight's muffled voice came from under the helmet, "This is evidence of collusion with thieves, confiscated according to the law." ”

Xia Dong, who finally reacted, hurriedly shouted loudly, "Sir, I was wronged, I didn't collude with robbers." ”

Damn, this Helois actually sold her brother, is there a mistake, I not only saved her but also escorted such a long way, right? Do you want to be so wolf-hearted?

"Pop" The cold and heavy slap made Xia Dong's left cheek immediately red and swollen, "The evidence is conclusive, how could you have so many Golden Emperors without colluding with the robbers?" Why didn't they rob you of your gold? Take! ”

These words really stumped Xia Dong, his money really didn't know where it came from, so it couldn't be said that it was given by the eldest brother, right? Isn't that a thief? If you don't say it, you can't save so many gold coins in your life as a civilian!

So, Xia Dong, who was speechless, had to try to grasp the last life-saving straw, "Miss Helois was rescued by me, I ......"

The knight's heavy punch to his abdomen immediately made him unable to speak, and the sharp pain mixed with the feeling of vomiting that made his eyes glaze out, and he was immediately dragged out of the room weakly by the guards on the left and right.

Waiting for the guards to leave, a middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo, blonde hair and black eyes, and some puffy bags under his eyes slowly walked down the stairs of the hall, he looked at the cup of Xingyu black tea on the coffee table in the living room, was silent for a moment, and ordered without looking back, "Let people take care of this Sharton, no matter what, he always sent Helois back, and he must be sent to the distant fortress safely." ”

As a viscount, he didn't know where he was, if no one greeted and cared for, there were many prisoners who died violently every year on the way to distant fortresses.

Behind him, Toms, the butler who was waiting respectfully, nodded slightly, "Yes, sir." ”

Orton Bell Plains, the border between the Fairmont Kingdom and the Calrest Kingdom, and the only place where the border meets, is naturally a battleground, if the Fairmont Kingdom completely occupies this place, then it can cooperate with the army of the Duchy of Delima to attack the opponent from both directions at any time.

And if the Calester Kingdom takes this place, it can bypass the Dragon's Tooth Cape and flank the Duchy of Delima in front and back, or directly out of the Gutu Mountain Range and sweep the hinterland of the Fairmont Kingdom.

Therefore, the distant fortress located on the plain is an extremely important military base in the kingdom, and several skirmishes break out here every year, mainly because the center of gravity of the opposite kingdom of Calester is still in the Seysk Mountains, where it is a frontal battlefield with the Duchy of Delima.

Every year, the kingdom of Fairmont conscripts troops and sends them there, and according to the Holy Law, all the most heinous prisoners can choose to enter the camp of atonement on the front line and participate in the war against heresy to obtain the forgiveness of the High God.

No matter how many sins they have, anyone who can fight three times in the camp and survive will be forgiven immediately!

After being captured in the castle of the Viscount of Montolivo, he was immediately imprisoned in a dungeon, and after two weeks of living in the dark, he was finally shackled and handed over to the escort guards.

The guard, consisting of twenty-five soldiers and one knight, would pass through towns and noble realms along the way, and then take the prisoners who were to join the camp of atonement with them, and the similar team would depart from the kingdom's capital three times a month and reach distant fortresses in three directions to ensure that the cost of transporting prisoners was kept to a minimum.
