Chapter 342: Compromise (Part II)
"What's the matter, the man hasn't been found?" said the Duke of Atlanta in a deep voice.
"Uh...... It's not that I've already brought it to you, but it's not that they've been caught, it's that they turned themselves in. ”
"Turn yourself in?" Atala wondered, "you mean they agreed to come to me on their own?"
"That's right, we caught two of the three enemies who infiltrated us, and the other one was there at the time and ran away, and I am currently shooting my troops to find them, and the Duke's Palace has spread its net, and I think no one will be able to escape. ”
"Hmm......," the Duke nodded, and then said, "Now that the man has been found, why are you still kneeling, get up quickly." ”
"No, this time it was the negligence of my subordinates that gave the enemy a chance, and my lord trusted me so much, but I ...... I'm so guilty that I've had such a big problem!"
"It's all right, get up," Atlan walked up to Truss and reached out to help him up, the only one in this territory who could be treated like that was the butler, a Trans.
The two of them have come from the age of two young people to the present, more than 30 years, they have long made each other trust each other incomparably, and Truns's loyalty to the duke, it is needless to say, the duke also trusts the only friend in this world.
"Get up, I don't blame you, since there is a problem with the duke's garrison, you should focus on investigating, where is the loophole, check and fill the gaps as soon as possible, understand?"
Terence got up from the ground with a look of shame, and then arched his hand: "There is one more thing to tell you. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"The prisoners asked to see your lordship in person, saying that they were willing to hand over their secrets, but they had to meet you face to face and tell you in person. ”
"And that kind of thing, then it's kind of interesting," said the duke, smiling, and then continued, "whoever wants to see me, bring him to me." ”
"Yes, I'll bring them in," Truns hunched over, and then after a while, we heard scattered footsteps, and Truns came in with two guards, and they walked in with three people, and Rickon stayed in the cell for the time being because he was still unconscious, but at Alan's request, he was given a clean room, and then Truns had Sana and the fat man taken out of the dungeon.
The fat man was finally brought out, and when he saw Alan, he cried with joy, and Sana didn't have such obvious emotions, but she could still see that she was slightly relieved.
After that, Truce came in and pleaded guilty, and as he had expected, the Duke had no intention of blaming him, and with the Duke's consent, the three of them were taken to the Duke's study.
Alan was handcuffed with chains, which he voluntarily did for the sake of sincerity, and Sana and the fat man were also handcuffed hands and feet, but the iron that was still on the chains was removed, which was also so that they could move faster, but it was still too restrictive for the three of them.
Until they came to the study of the Duke's Palace, the fat man and Sana didn't understand what was going on, in the dungeon they were actually like they had lost their eyes and ears, and they didn't know anything about what was going on outside, they just heard Alan mention a few words, saying that they had found a way to save them, they didn't know what the solution was at first, until they saw the man half-lying on the tiger skin chair, they understood what Alan meant, it turned out that he was here to negotiate.
With a solemn look on the surroundings, they knew that the identity of that person was definitely not low, and Sana and the fat man didn't know what this person was with for the time being, because they were not in a cell except for being imprisoned, there was no communication between several people at all, and after they were brought out, Trus was obviously afraid that they were planning something in advance, so they were not allowed to communicate, and Alan only said a few inconsequential words, so it was normal for them to be confused.
"Are you looking for me, and you're finally willing to tell the truth?"
"Lord Huiduke, it's not us, it's just that the next person wants to find you, but as for the truth, I'm afraid that you won't believe it, so I asked Lord Truss to call my companion and tell you together, so that you can be somewhat convinced, isn't it?" Allen said neither humbly nor arrogantly, facing the duke, but he did not have the consciousness of being a citizen.
Alan is not a person from this world, and his status as a duke is indeed noble, but it has not yet reached the point of respect and awe of Allen, so his attitude, in the eyes of others, is a little arrogant.
"Gong ...... Duke?" The fat man heard Allen's mention, and only then did he know the identity of the person in front of him, Duke, that is the existence of legends, for the natives of Sana and the fat man, it can be said that it is the existence of "gods", because it is too far away, so far away that these ordinary people can only rely on imagination, so it is inevitable that there will be some myths.
"Bang!" the fat man knelt on the ground as soon as his knees went weak, only to feel that all the strength he had before had disappeared, and he really couldn't have the courage to resist.
And Suona showed a strange look on her face at this time, looking directly at the duke, it turned out that the duke was also a person, with a nose and eyes. And it's not the three heads and six arms in those ghost stories, it's just a living person, and for a while, the image in Suona's belief gradually collapses, and the innate fear also dissipates.
The fat man's ugly appearance made the duke's originally stiff expression ease, but Alan and Sona made the duke's forehead ache.
"You're not afraid of me?" said Atlante.
"Ah, why should I be afraid of you?" Alan also asked rhetorically, not knowing whether it was the newborn calf or the over-nerves, and Alan and he had no obstacles at all because of their status.
"That's okay, people like you are either stupid or people with real skills," Atlanta said of his first impression of Allen.
"And which one do you think I am?"
"It's up to you to cooperate, it doesn't matter to me either way, as long as you're sure to hand over that secret......"
Finally got to the point, Allen's heart moved, "I came to you for this matter, but this matter can only be known by you, not the rest!"
"You kid, don't take an inch, dare to be so sloppy to Lord Duke!" the butler began to pretend to be a tiger again, as if he had forgotten that he was starting to be held by Allen's neck, and he looked so ugly.
Alan stared, that small look passed, the housekeeper suddenly had a spirit, and immediately retracted when he reached his mouth, Allen's eyes have always been invincible, no matter who it is, but fortunately, the power is still there.
"Am I alone?"
"That's right, this matter is very important, even for you, my lord, isn't it better to know about this matter as few people as possible?"
Allen's words were not unreasonable, so after some thought, the Duke commanded: "You guys go down, since this boy says so, then I will do as he wishes." ”
"This is not good, my lord, several of them are strong in martial arts, and there are great security risks to your safety, I don't agree with this, I have to stay by your side, otherwise I won't worry," Truns exploded all of a sudden, Allen's strength He understands, when he was in a big swing just now, he didn't miss it at all, such a dangerous person, isn't the Duke's life in the hands of others.
"Wow, wow, wow," Alan shook the heavy iron chain in his hand to show that he was not threatening, and then said sincerely, "We are like this on our hands and feet, can we still commit murder, and I look at the form and complexion of the adult, and the kung fu is definitely not low, so what is there to worry about." ”
"Go down, I'm the lord of a place, and I'm afraid that a hairy boy won't succeed?!" The duke has to have the domineering spirit of the duke, and the duke's strength has reached geometry, Truss and the butler have a number in their hearts, and after a little pondering, the two of them withdrew from the door according to the order, and then closed the door.
"Okay, can you say that?"
"Of course you can, I know what you want, then I won't go around in circles, in fact, the so-called treasure secret, the three of us don't know at all!"
"I don't know?" Alan's words echoed in Atlanta's head, "He actually said he didn't know?" A thick feeling of being teased made Atlanta shocked and angry, and he propped up his chair and gradually straightened his body.
"I didn't hear you just now, you ...... Say it again!"
Alan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No matter how many times we say it, we don't know the result!"
"You're kidding me?" said Atlan, angry, feeling teased.
Alan shook the iron chain in his hand again, and said: "The three of us came with sincerity, if you are willing to let us finish the matter, then it is all up to your idea to kill or chop me afterwards, but if you want to kill me now, then you are the one who regrets it......"
Allen's extremely confident expression deeply infected Atlanta, maybe there is something else hidden, in fact, things are not as simple as they appear? As long as Allen breaks a gap in his heart, it will be easy to do, because Atlanta has been a little shaken.
"Okay, then I'll listen to your explanation, I hope you can satisfy me, or ......" Atlan's eyes appeared with a killing intent that seemed to be substantial.
The story starts from the time when Thana received the bounty list and went to Viscount Phyllis's mansion, and Sona used her first perspective to describe the scenes at that time, especially the scene where Elder Gray cut off Viscount Phyllis's head in front of him, but Sona deliberately concealed Allen's appearance, and dropped the meteorite to adjective natural disaster, and then she took advantage of the chaos to escape.
