The manhunt that took place at the settlement on the day the caravan arrived at Karp was no longer discussed by the next night.

The only people who are concerned about this matter are probably the soldiers who are chasing down the two who are missing, and they are still searching for Matthew and George.

Others, including the natives of Karp and the merchants who arrived, were more concerned about the castle's flag change. Everyone understands what that means.

"Black flag, does this mean that Karp has been controlled by the Magician?"

"Oh my God...... This kind of thing has happened in other places before, but I didn't expect it to be our turn this time......"

"So what should we do?"

"What do you need to do, the oracle will not interfere in your life, just do what you have to do and continue to do it. The soldier on horseback stood on the side of the road and roared at the people who stopped to discuss.

Soon, the people were scattered. However, after the cavalry left, the discussion continued.

"The Demon Envoy doesn't interfere in our lives, but doesn't the White City interfere either? Soon there will be a ...... of war."

"So what should we do?"

"Lock the doors and windows and stock up on more things. ”

"Maybe we should stock up more this time. A businessman who participated in the discussion said: "If there is a war in Karp, then the price of all Karp specialties will soon increase." We should take this opportunity to ship more out. ”

Sure enough, the focus quickly shifted to business.

"Can it still be transported? This place is already under the control of the Messenger. The soldiers took refuge in the messengers. Although I didn't like the previous lords, they were better than the oracles. We at least know what bad things he's going to do. ”

"Didn't you hear them say that they don't interfere in our lives? This may be a chance to make a fortune!"

As a result, the business of local merchants selling specialty products became more prosperous than usual, and almost all the goods were sold out.

Matthew, who was hiding in the corner and watching them from afar, spat hatefully: "Karp has let the demon envoy control them, and they still want to do business? These guys, as a hooligan, I look down on them!"

"You also admit that you are a hooligan?" George next to him glanced at him expressionlessly.

"I'm a righteous and bright person, and I admit that I'm a hooligan in a righteous and bright way, what's the problem?" Matthew raised his head and looked like "I'm a hooligan and I'm proud": "Hooligans are better than these guys." ”

Taking a deep breath, George whispered, "The strife has been going on for several years, and now everyone is gradually becoming numb. Soon, perhaps, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See will seem to them to be no different from Heaven or Hell. In the midst of war, they will not have any concept of good and evil, after all, they are just ordinary people. Of course, I believe that as long as there is a little bit of spare strength, the human race is still willing to stand on the side of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, but if the environment is bad, don't think about it. They will not hesitate to make a deal with the devil. Whoever wins, they help. ”

"Hehe, then what are we doing so hard for?"

George glanced sideways at Matthew and said casually, "For glory." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Matthew rubbed his nose and took a deep breath, a little helpless.

......

"So...... The previous lord was really a bastard?"

"Although he has been sending me money for more than ten years, I have to admit that he is a real asshole. There are many people who hate him. No, no, it should be said that almost the people of the entire territory hate him. So you see, no one will sympathize with his death. Except for his own relatives. But his relatives should have been killed, and there would be nothing left. ”

"Is it true that a girl who is imprisoned in a prison sells her soul to a demon and then goes out and kills the lord with her backhand......"

"yes, that's probably what happened. In fact, there was already a time before a riot, just before the heavy snowfall. That guy raised taxes in the name of supporting the Northland war, and many people are already discussing how to overthrow him together. There is a lack of a person who really has the courage to stand up. No one expected that the demon would stand up. ”

Alvin leaned crookedly against the wall, chatting quietly with the former jailer who was being held across the wall.

The sun shone on his thighs, and the whip marks were shocking.

"So, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See is not welcome here, right?"

"The White Bone Holy Light Holy See, why did you suddenly get involved with this?"

"Isn't it? The lord is a tax collected in the name of the Holy See of the White Bone Light. And he is loyal to Miss Irene, and Miss Irene, who is on the side of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See. ”

"Huh...... If you're going to say unpopular, that's right. However, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See has nothing to do with us in the first place. It was so far away that they didn't even send anyone over. Maybe you're the first. Who cares about a ...... who has nothing to do with them Whether it's a demon, an angel, or a White Bone Holy Light Holy See, everyone just doesn't want to pay more taxes. Of course, if I had to choose now, I would definitely think that the original lord would be better. At least he won't lock me up here. If Dophna had to choose, she would definitely think that the demon was good. Because the devil can send her out of here. ”

I don't know why, listening to this passage, Alvin felt an indescribable discomfort.

It's a non-religious place. But the jailer's statement is indeed irrefutable. If following the White Bone Holy Light Holy See will lead you to the abyss, why should you believe in the White Bone Holy Light Holy Light?

Putting the big picture aside, everything is so realistic for individuals. For the jailer, for Dophna, for those of her original companions, who refused to join the fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon, why not?

If the overall situation cannot take care of the individual, or the vast majority of individuals, then the so-called overall situation cannot take care of itself. It's like what's happening here. When reality is in front of you, people don't mind working with the darkness.

That's a bad debt.

After a moment of silence, the jailer suddenly asked, "If after a while, your men have killed and recaptured Karp." Will you send another guy like the previous lord to rule over here?"

"I don't know. Alvin shook his head and replied, "If it were up to me, I wouldn't. But it's not up to me to decide. My task is simply to find out what's going on here. ”

"You've found out. ”

"Yes, but I can't go back. ”

"Will someone come to your rescue?"

"Maybe, there may be. ”

"When I save you, can I ask them to save me by the way?"

"If it was convenient, it would. ”

"Thank you. ”

"No thanks. ”

Turning his face sideways, Alwin quietly looked at the window.

The only window in this semi-basement cell can be seen out into the blue sky. And, of course, there are the feet that come and go, most of them wearing metal leggings, which means that most of the people walking back and forth are soldiers.

......

"Didn't you say you could find it in three days?"

"Yes, we'll do our best...... There's one more day, and we'll do our best. ”

"Who told you you there's one more day, why do I think three days are over?"

"Three days...... No, didn't you give me the order the day before yesterday? It's only been forty-eight hours now. ”

"But it's been the night before yesterday that they've escaped, three days, of course, isn't it?"

Sean panicked all of a sudden, and didn't know what to say.

Dophna stared at him, staring at him with wide eyes, so staring at Sean that he had to get down on one knee. He bowed his head and said, "Yes...... My bad. Please give me another chance......"

"There are so many people, I can't find two people. When you caught me, it was very fast. ”

"That's not an order from a subordinate......

"But it was your people who caught it. Waving her hand, Dophna continued, "Forget it, I won't bother with you. Get those two back for me. I'll give you another day. If I can't find them, I'll replace them with you!"

Sean said hesitantly: "One day may be ......"

"I said ——! day," Dophna screamed. The sound startled the pigeons outside the castle.

Sweat was dripping down, gritting his teeth, and Sean had to respond in a loud voice: "Yes!

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Dophna was the only one left in the hall.

She sat alone on a throne made of giant wood that belonged to the lord. Looking at the relief on the gate in front of me, I was fascinated.

......

At night, large swaths of soldiers poured into one settlement after another, driving all the people in the settlement to the square in the center. Then he held a torch and examined his face one by one, comparing the portraits. Take all the people who look even slightly more alike.

At the same time, chests, bedding, and soldiers pierced with spears in almost every place where people could be hiding.

The whole Karp was in a commotion.

George and Matthew, who were hiding in the grass on the outskirts of the settlement, watched cautiously.

"Oh my God. We have to get out of here, but how to get out. It will definitely not work to take the original path, and it will be sealed to death. ”

"Maybe we should not walk, I mean not take any road, not on the big roads and not on the small roads. Just go straight over the mountain and go where no one has walked. As long as we keep walking, we can always get out. ”

"Young Master, you haven't lived in the wild, have you? We have nothing, and we may die in the mountains at any time. ”

"So what do you say?"

"Hmm...... Forget it, I can only listen to you. If you don't enter the mountain, you may die, but if you don't, the two of us will soon be caught, let alone save Alwin. You have to get out of here first. ”

Turning around, Matthew and George took advantage of the night to touch the deep mountain.

......

In the night, a figure crept into the prison door. Led by the guards, he came to Alwin's cell.

Half-crouched in front of Alwin, the visitor unsheathed his felt hat, revealing a square face.

It's Sean.

He stared at Alwyn intently and whispered, "I want to talk to you." ”
