The sound of ticking ~ ticking ~ slow water dripping has become the only game for Durand to pass the time. After being captured, Duland's eyes were tightly blindfolded, and he himself did not know where he was taken. At this point he was just waiting for one outcome - death.

But the results were clearly not as quick as he thought. While Durand was still counting the droplets, someone jerked his blindfold open.

The long hours of darkness made him a little uncomfortable with the light, even the faintest light. He struggled to blink his eyes to see where he was.

After a few moments, he saw his surroundings clearly, a dark, damp prison.

It was a very spacious prison, with only a set of tables and chairs in the middle of the room. The simple arrangement makes it feel extremely empty, as if the sound of breathing echoes.

Durand saw Slana tied next to him, and when the two looked at each other, they didn't say a word to each other. At this point, they all know what is going to happen next.

With a few footsteps, Walter Ryder and Master Tom came to the table and sat down. When Walter appeared in front of Durand and Slanna, they immediately recognized the guy who had fought with them.

On the way back from escorting the captives, Walter noticed Slanna and Durand. Because of the previous fight, he knew very well the horror of these people in front of him. And being rescued by Silana in the fire made him have some good feelings for these Owan people.

Seeing that Walter had been staring at the captives, Mr. Tom asked, "Your Highness, will you ask, or shall I inquire about them? ”

"Of course it's up to you to ask, I don't know their language at all. Just a little curious to take a look. Walter replied respectfully.

Master Tom got Walter's approval, and he took out a thick book from the bag he was carrying, and straightened his waist. I opened the book and began to inquire in a language that I was not familiar with.

Walter didn't understand the strange words at all, and he could only try to judge the possible meaning from people's reactions. But Ovan's reaction didn't seem to be as obvious as he thought.

After Master Tom had spoken for a while, one of the Omans shouted a few words. Master Tom immediately slapped the table heavily, pointed his finger at the Ovans, and said angrily, "You say that!

The sudden situation left Walter a little confused, and Master Tom quickly turned his head and explained to Walter, "I'm sorry, but they are so hateful. He insulted the Duke as ······ I can't even say that. ”

"Really?" said Walter incredulously. In his eyes, these Owan people didn't seem to be very excited.

"I don't think I need to ask about their situation anymore, I just said that they didn't answer for a long time. And there insulting the duke, I think according to the law should be put to death. Master Tom explained.

Walter looked at these Owan people in front of him without squinting, and did not say a word in his mouth.

Seeing that Walter seemed to be a little suspicious, Master Tom smiled and said, "Your Highness, I still want to study the dragon stone that the Duke gave me. Or ask for the rest. Anyway, I don't think there's any need to communicate. ”

The words "don't kill us yet" reached Walter's ears, and it was from Silana's mouth that the words came out.

"Look at these people insulting the Duke again. I just can't take it anymore. I'm going to report to the Duke. Get out of here!," said Master Tom, and walked out.

This contradiction caused a thought to flash through Walter's mind, and after weighing it for a few seconds, he followed Master Tom out of the prison.

Seeing that Walter had also walked out of the prison, Master Tom smiled and said, "Then I'll report to the Duke later, and I'll go and see what secrets are contained in that dragonstone first." Please rest your highness. ”

"Okay, then it's going to be a hassle for the Bachelor. Walter replied respectfully. Seeing that Master Tom was gone, Walter walked back to the prison.

Seeing Walter reappear, Silana immediately said, "Have you decided yet?"

"How so? How can I understand these people. What they say is completely different from what Master Tom said! am I hallucinating?" thought to himself.

"Alright, Slanna. He doesn't understand what we're saying. Sooner or later they will kill us, it is a matter of time. Durand said next to him.

As the number of times he heard Owan speak, Walter had gone from being familiar to understanding at the beginning. This made Walter feel incredible, and he casually said, "Okay, I understand what you said." No need to explain. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all Owan people were focused on Walter. Silana glanced at Durand and immediately said to Walter, "Do you think you can understand what we are saying?"

"yes, I can't believe it. But I'm now able to understand what you're talking about. Walter said, glancing at the soldier standing guard in the distance.

The soldiers stood motionless, all expressionless. It seems that he didn't notice that Walter and Ovan were communicating.

All these signs made Walter more certain that he could communicate with these Ovans at this time, but the others could not understand what he was talking to these Ovans.

"Why did you save me, and give me back my sword? I think you know the power of that sword very well!" said Walter in his own mind.

Silana sneered and said, "I'm not obligated to answer your question, now we just want to die." Hurry up and do not show us any kind of chivalry. ”

"Well, in your eyes we may just be invaders. But not all of them are as bloodthirsty as you think. "Walter wants to use his own words to bridge the gap with these Ovans.

But Walter overestimated his own abilities and did not understand the real purpose of his father Frank in bringing these Ortens of thousands back.

While Walter was still trying to communicate with the Odovans, Master Tom returned to his room. After placing the bag he was carrying on the ground, he took out a black stone from the bag. This stone is an important treasure that Frank has given him to study.

As the most relied on wise man of the Red family, his room is filled with all kinds of books. There are many accounts of Ovan in these books. Frank wondered what the secret was to get the stone to the deaths of all the Austrians.

After placing Dragonstone on the table, Master Tom pulled a book from the shelf, opened it, and placed it next to Dragonstone. I walked to the door again and looked outside, but there was no one in the empty corridor.

Closing the door, Mr. Tom ran quickly to the bedroom. At this time, there was a person waiting for him on the bed in the bedroom. Just as Mr. Tom was undressing, there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Mr. Tom, are you there?" "No response. Isn't there anybody?"

"Oh! I saw him come back just now. It is estimated that he is old and his legs and feet are inconvenient. Let's go in and find the book you want!"

"That's not good! You'll be scolded. ”

"him! I'll come. - Oops, the door is locked. Haight, you work hard with me. Let's see if we can open the door. ”

Hearing the louder and louder voices, Master Tom hurriedly got dressed and ran to the door to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Winter slammed into Mr. Tom, who was unprepared, and he slammed into the ground. Winter took advantage of the situation and lay on top of Master Tom.

When Winter got up, he rubbed his head, looked at Master Tom sitting on the ground, and said, "You are so annoying, you don't say a word when you open the door." It hurts me. Oops······"

When Master Tom saw that it was Winter, he swallowed all the words that had just been brought to his mouth. He stood up and smiled and said, "Oops! I'm old and I can't move. This is already my fastest speed. You don't have to slam my door in any hurry······!"

"I'm paying you a bill!" said Winter, looking up at Master Tom.

Haight felt that there was a taste of * in the words of the two people, so he hurriedly interjected: "Bachelor, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of Winter. I know you have a lot of books about dragons here. I'd like to borrow a few from you. ”

"Oh. Smith doesn't have one? He's a scholar of dragons. "Master Tom didn't pay attention to Winter, but spoke to Haight.

"Our teachers have books about the Rhett family. There are a lot of books you know, and the teacher said that we are not allowed to touch other books until we finish reading those books. So we want to ask you for help. Haight explained.

Master Tom nodded, and looked back at the books in the room, trying to find the location of the books on dragons.

"Oh, I remembered. There's a few there, I'll get them for you, and you'll be waiting for me at the door!" said Master Tom, turning and walking to the corner of the room.

Just as Master Tom was looking for the book, Winter, who was in the room, saw the dragonstone on the table at a glance. He had seen this dragonstone in the tent of the camp before. Winter, who had never seen it properly, became interested in this black thing.

So Winter walked to the front of the table and took a closer look, and when he saw that Winter had walked to the table, Haight, who was still moving with his hands, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

But when Haidh took a few steps, he noticed a few pieces of clothing scattered on the floor. The clothes followed the doorway to the bedroom.

Haight casually picked up a piece of clothing, and when Winter saw that it was an underwear, a smile instantly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He immediately took it from Haidt's hand and threw it out the door. Looking at Haight's wide eyes, Winter smiled and shook his head.

At this point, Master Tom came over with a couple of books. "Here are a couple of books about dragons. To be honest, I don't have a lot of books about dragons here. If you have the opportunity to go to Red Dragon City, there is the most complete collection of books. ”

"Okay, thank you. Winter said as he took the books from Master Tom's hand. "Haight, let's go, I want to go to the kitchen and see what Mother has prepared for us today!"

Before Haight could speak, Winter pushed Haidh out of the room. Seeing that the two brothers had gone out, Master Tom closed the door again without saying a word.

In the hallway, Haidt was a little angry and said, "How can you do this? As a result, you have to bully him. He must be angry right now. ”

"Well, it's me who doesn't do it. That's it, don't you want these books? Now you get it. I'll give it back to him, and you'll have no problem this time!" Haidt said, hanging his underwear on the doorknob on the door.

After knocking the door, Winter pushed Haight down the hallway. When Mr. Tom opened the door again, he found that there was no one outside.

The two Winter brothers, who were in a hurry, happened to meet their eldest brother, Walter Ryder, on the way back to their room. At this time, Walter did not notice that he was followed by two little ones.

In Walter's mind, he was still thinking about the conversation he had just had with Ovan in prison. originally wanted to solve the doubts in his heart, but instead added more doubts.

"Big brother!" Winter jumped behind Walter.

The sudden appearance of the situation startled Walter a lot. When he turned around, he found that in addition to Winter, Haidt was also standing behind him. Seeing the two younger brothers, Walter subconsciously said a word.

Hearing Walter's strange words, Winter jumped off Walter's back. frowned and asked, "Big brother, what are you talking about?"

"Ahh casually, nothing interesting. What the hell are you doing?" Vought quickly explained. It was then that he realized that he had just spoken the language of Ovan.

"Hey, this doesn't look like you!" I just accompanied Haidt to get a few books from Master Tom. Anyway, it's better to study more if you're bored!" Winter said helplessly, shaking his head.

"When my father is in a good mood, I'll say something nice to you." Let you be liberated sooner. Walter patted Winter's head and said.

"By the way, big brother, what are you doing here?" asked Winter curiously.

This sentence reached Walter's heart, and he smiled reluctantly and said, "There will always be some distressing things for adults! You are still young, and even if you say it, you don't understand." ”

Winter stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm not uncommon to know!" Haidt, let's go back to our books, let the eldest brother worry about the adult affairs!" With that, he pulled Haidt and walked towards his room.

Haight turned and waved goodbye to Walter, who smiled and waved his hand. But the stiff smile soon disappeared, and Walter felt deeply in his heart that there must be other secrets hidden behind these Odoman.
