Chapter 129: Life Under House Arrest

Fed was escorted all the way to his room before his black hood was removed, and the guards who sent him said that the Knights of the Church would not be restricted in any way in this place, as long as they did not leave the guarded area. Feder nodded, his two-handed sword had not been confiscated, and the scroll that had been given to Satnam was in his hand. Feder looked into his room, where the candles that had been lit and some food and drinks were on the table, and the simple furniture was all available, enough to match a person who was a staff officer of the Order.

Looking out from the balcony of the room, there was nothing to see except the pitch black, but the smell of aquatic plants could reach Fidel's nose. Fed closed the floor-to-ceiling curtains and flipped through a few books in the bookcase, this room was nothing special, just a guest room.

At this time, the door of his room was pushed open, and Fei De originally thought it was a guard, but he didn't expect it to be Ludwig, the "Lord of Snow Leopards".

Ludwig just opened the door to the room and didn't walk in, "Ah, it's Counselor Fidel, I'm just here to make sure who's living here near me." He was about to close the door, but Feder didn't stop him, knowing that the participants of the defense council had been sent here, so it wasn't unusual for Ludwig to live next door.

Fett put down the book, walked over to the table, picked up a piece of smoked rib meat, and ate it, thinking about what had happened today. Now that I've become a caged bird, I'll wake up tomorrow and start exploring the environment, so it's not surprising that I might have a chance to escape.

When he was sleeping, Fei De seemed to hear the sound of beating stones outside, and someone walked outside the door, but Fei De didn't care, he was not worried about his safety, after all, the defense meeting was just over today, and it was impossible for other things to happen so soon.

The next morning, Fidel woke up early, and when he stepped out of the balcony, he found that the place was not very high, and that there was a small lake outside, and many houses had been built around the lake, all of which were independent buildings. When Fed looked closely, he saw that each of the detached one-story buildings had a balcony, as if the houses were built around a lake.

At this moment, from the balcony of a house on the other side of the lake, came a man, and Feder could tell from the appearance of the other man that it was Gabrihaus, a merchant friend of the regent. The other party was stretching his limbs, as if he didn't see himself. At this time, someone knocked on the door, "Lord Field, this is breakfast for you." A maid pushed open the door and brought in some omelette and bread, as well as a bottle of milk.

"Will I be able to leave the room?"

The maid raised her head, which had been lowered, and said with a somewhat curious smile, "Of course Lord Feder can leave this room, I have seen Lord Ludwig and Master Fuller leave the room early in the morning and hang out outside!" It turned out that none of the seven nobles lived here, and the leader of the Wave Mercenary Regiment, Fuller, the merchant Gabrihouse, Ludwig of the Winter Kingdom, and the nobleman DeBarlow of the Tail Peninsula were all sent to live here. Deballo, who had fled from the Tail Peninsula, had been dissatisfied, believing that he deserved to be treated like the other seven nobles and to live with them. He also kept saying that he would write a letter to his mother's family in the Kingdom of Salins, asking them to send troops to pick him up.

Fed didn't expect the breakfast servant to know so many things, and it seems that the secrecy here is not very good. Later, when the young maid realized that she had talked too much, she immediately apologized to Fed, hoping that the other party would not report the matter to the butler. Feder asked where the place was, and the maid was already on her toes, just bowing her head and backing away until she left Fed's room.

After breakfast, Feder walked out of the room, and as soon as he got out of the door, there were several people sitting in the courtyard outside the door—Count de Barlo, Ludwig, and Gabrihaus. Gabrihaus, the merchant, who had been in his house a moment ago, was here, drinking tea and talking to the other two.

"Isn't this Counselor Fidel, will you sit down and talk with us?" said Gabblehouse, who was over half a hundred years old, but he still looked very young, and even a wealthy merchant had no gold or silver jewelry on him.

The other two didn't have the same big smiles as Gabrihaus. Count de Barlow played impatiently with one of the balls in his hand, and Ludwig had no expression but looked at Fidel silently. Feder walked over and looked around, the courtyard was right in front of his room, and the two rooms next to his room didn't seem to be occupied.

"I'm sure you already know each other, don't you?" said Gabrihaus as soon as he sat down.

"Oh, it's Deputy Captain Field, the leader of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, I recognize it at a glance!" Count de Barlo has sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and round, thin eyes.

Ludwig said: "Except for Fuller, the leader of the Wave Mercenary Regiment, everyone else has arrived, and if nothing else, we will have a lot of time to chat casually like we are now, but we can't go anywhere." "The Lord of the Snow Leopard is still wearing animal skin armor, and it is still the same snow white.

In casual conversation ensuing, Fed overheard a description of the place. The merchant Gabrihaus said that this was actually somewhere in the inner city, and if I was not mistaken, it was supposed to be a royal palace under construction. The regent Xiumo began to build the palace of the young emperor Manfret very early, but due to the loss of the windmill town, the construction was temporarily suspended. Some nice rooms were vacant, just enough for the rest of them.

Gabrihaus said that the lake was the best proof of this—the whole lake was called a shallow lake, and it was connected to the shallow river outside the city of Doret. The city of Doret was originally chosen because of this interesting lake, which is actually very deep, and at the bottom of the lake there is an underwater passage that leads to the upper reaches of the shallow river. It's just that after Xiu Mo became the lord of this city, that secret underwater passage has been sealed. There were still some rumors about shallow lakes in Doret City, but Gabrihaus just stopped there, and Feyder and the others didn't continue to ask.

"So, if we're going to escape from here, we're going to dive to the bottom of the lake and swim out without breathing?" said Count de Barlo, impatiently, sometimes wiggling his ass on a stone bench, and sometimes standing up and looking around, as if the smell of the beautiful surroundings was so stench that he didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Maybe we can fly out, can't we?" said Ludwig, baring his white teeth.

"What is the defense meeting," Deballo was about to complain, but Ludwig interrupted him.

"Shh Ludwig gestured with his eyes, and Fidel noticed that the maid was hiding under a fruit tree that was not easy to find, very far away from the table where the four of them were, quietly observing the crowd.
