Chapter Eighty-Seven: A City-wide Search
Seeing the monk's face calm as usual, the swordsman Henry suddenly relaxed a lot, the Vyshak family is one of the big families of the Odan Empire, and it is extremely powerful, and there is even such a rule in the royal family of Audan, there must be the Visak family in the two positions of the queen and the first concubine of Audan.
The current queen is the eldest daughter of the Visak family, and such power is naturally hot, so the members of the Vyshak family have enjoyed treatment that is not inferior to that of royals since birth.
Henry has been well-dressed since he was a child, because he is not the first heir, so he has a cheerful and casual personality, but because of his background, everyone will first notice his family background, and then associate with him with various purposes, only Morton and Camilla, who have the same background, can be regarded as getting along very well.
He was obsessed with martial arts, and after meeting Huigang, he wanted to learn from the monk, but he was afraid that his image would make something else, so he hid his identity.
But seeing the monk's performance of not caring about the power of the powerful, he became very relaxed, and there was also a very touching feeling that welled up from the bottom of his heart. Henry lowered his head to control his emotions, and continued to say to Hui Gang:
"Teacher, my family sent a letter to me to rush back as soon as possible, and I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey. ”
The monk naturally didn't say anything to stop it, so he nodded and agreed immediately, in this conversation, the swordsman Henry first mentioned his family, what was the purpose, and Hui Gang also vaguely guessed what his apprentice was thinking.
At this time, the swordsman turned his head and walked back, Hui Gang stopped him, and said slowly:
"I taught you martial arts, but I just think that your foundation and state of mind are suitable for learning these, and I don't have any other intentions. ”
When Henry heard this, his body trembled violently, obviously moved by true feelings, and hurriedly said goodbye to Fei'er, turned his head and left.
The monk did not go back, and waited quietly for a while in the place where he spoke, and then returned to the place where they lived, where the girl pouted, looking very angry, and when she saw that the monk Hui had just come, she immediately ran over and said:
"Brother Henry just now, he came over and hurriedly said that he wanted to go home, how long has he been with us, it's really ......"
Hui Gang understood the girl's mood and didn't say anything, after eating, the monk and Fei'er continued on the road, because the money in their hands was sufficient, they had already hired a carriage, and the trading houses in charge of the carriage and horses were all following the large-scale caravan, so naturally they didn't worry about any safety problems, but if there were bandits and thieves to fight the monk and their idea, then people would have to worry about their safety.
After arriving in Javier City, Hui Gang was quite disappointed to see that the city was full of square buildings, except that there were slightly more people in the market than in the Duchy of Lanji, there was no beauty and character of those cities at all, according to the words of the equally disappointed Fei'er, it was a collection of square houses.
Although she had been riding in a carriage and had not walked all the way, Hui Gang saw that the girl was in a bad spirit, so she arranged to stay in an inn in the city of Javier
After spending a night, the monk who had been meditating the next day was called up by the girl who was jumping in, and after a night's rest, Fei'er seemed to be in good spirits, and the young man's nature dictated that the girl had to go out and go shopping again. While talking, Hui Gang suddenly felt something move in his pocket, and the monk was stunned in his heart, in his impression, the money was in the backpack, and in the pocket of his waist, in addition to the broken coins, it was the ring.
Reaching out and digging it out, it was the oval egg that had been turned from a metal spider, it was trembling slightly, Hui Gang curiously picked it up and put it on the table, and the girl also came to see, the eight limbs of the metal spider at that time had turned into the current oval through a strange combination, and she was amazed that she couldn't see any traces.
When the two of them were watching, one end of the metal egg suddenly opened a small opening, and then the appearance of the metal egg suddenly stretched out, and the original spider turned into a big butterfly, although it was still the luster of metal, but the pattern and shape were very similar to the real butterfly, and after a few flickering flights in the air, it landed on the girl's shoulder.
Fei'er seemed to have completely forgotten that this butterfly was the insect she hated in front of her, and looked at it with great joy. The butterfly looked, if it weren't for the metallic appearance of the outside, it couldn't be seen as a fake at all.
The monk also wondered what this golem was doing from its original form to its current beauty. Suddenly remembered that the girl Fei'er had said that the spider was particularly ugly, at this time Huigang's heart moved, when the girl dripped blood on this spider, and later because of Fei'er's words became an oval egg, and then turned into a butterfly, thinking of those legends in the previous life, I don't know if this golem has recognized the girl as the master.
After Huigang made this judgment, he said to the girl with a smile:
"Fei'er, this metal butterfly will be handed over to you later. ”
The girl looked at the beautiful golem on her shoulder, her heart was full of affection, and she nodded again and again, but the little winged lion on the other shoulder had a different opinion, and looked at the butterfly with disgust, as if someone was vying for his favor.
When the two of them were watching the butterflies study, they suddenly heard a loud noise from the street, and the monk was slightly contemplative, and he could hear clearly, there was a neat pace in the chaotic sound outside, and it was obvious that there were organized soldiers among them. It didn't take long for the inn to be in a commotion, and a burst of screaming and scolding was heard.
Hui Gang was on guard in his heart, and just as he was about to say something, the door was kicked open, and several city guard soldiers in light armor rushed in, and when they saw the monk and Fei'er, one of them took a step forward and said sharply:
"The security office of the city-state garrison issued an order at four o'clock in the morning: all foreign populations must go to Bipaburg for investigation. ”
After finishing speaking, he took the bulletin in his hand and unfolded it, and then said to Hui Gang and the two people:
"Come with us now. ”
The monk could hear that something similar was happening in almost every room of the inn, and he decided in his heart that it should not be a personal matter for them, since it was an investigation, he and Fei'er did not do anything harmful, so they must just follow along.
Signal the girl not to panic at the moment, just follow these soldiers, Fei'er has really passed through the wind and waves since she left Gravel Town, and walked out of the room very calmly according to the meaning of those soldiers, the little winged lion furball has already shrunk into the girl's satchel, and the metal butterfly is quietly hanging on the girl's clothes, like a brooch, and those soldiers are not suspicious of anything.
Walking out of the hotel, even Hui Gang was very calm, he was taken aback, the hotel where they lived was surrounded by hotels, hotels, shops and the like, most of the outsiders lived here, and the door of each building was inspected by many people. Assembled in large groups, heavily armed cavalrymen with halberds and axes watched on both sides of the road, driving the crowd in one direction.
Most of these men got up in the morning, and for some unknown reason they were driven into the ranks by the soldiers, and the voices of curses, weeping, and resentment were incessant, and the cavalry did not pay attention to them, and drew back with halberds and rods to cut their heads out of the ranks.
The monk pulled the girl beside him, and the two of them quietly followed the group to Bipaburg, outsiders thought that Bipaburg was a place name, but in fact this was the central prison of Javier City, and the city-state of Maidan was a vassal of the Drew Empire, and all his armed forces were served by Drew's soldiers.
So these soldiers and this prison were actually under the jurisdiction of the nobles and officers sent by the Drew Empire to this city-state, and when they came to this Billa Fort, all the people were thrown into the prison room, and a total of thousands of people were captured, and the big prison was immediately stuffed.
After being imprisoned, no one came to investigate or anything else, and no one knew what was going on, and in the afternoon news began to circulate among the imprisoned people, that the governor of the Drew Empire had been assassinated by the Assassins in the early hours of the morning, so General Basil, who was in charge of the joint defense of the city-states of Maidan, gave the order to search the whole city.
When the door to the prison cell was closed, the soldiers didn't care what the people inside said, and the monk and the girl found a place to sit in the corner and waited.
The discussion on the side became more and more enthusiastic, Hui Gang also listened to some of them, many outsiders said that the assassination of the governor was deserved, two years ago, after the governor came to office, began to interfere in the finances of the originally autonomous city-state, a large increase in taxes, and now business is becoming more and more difficult.
When it was almost dark, people from outside began to come in one after another to bail out or recognize those locals, because most of the people who were captured had various contacts with the city of Javier, and those who knew each other or had business dealings would provide guarantees or explain the situation, and the soldiers and guards in the prison would not embarrass them, as long as they provided certificates or other things, they would be released immediately.
In the evening, the cell that had been packed with Deng Deng had become very deserted, and Hui Gang could not provide his identification, not to mention that it was impossible to tell what had happened in the past.
The jailers began to take the place of the soldiers to inspect the cells, and the monk felt that something was wrong, and stood up and asked one of the guards who was wandering outside:
"Excuse me, gentleman, I want to know when exactly I will be able to get out. ”
