Chapter 408: Egger's Death
Vivi stretched out her hand tremblingly, uncovering the gray and dirty shroud little by little.
The strange and familiar face of Knight Egg appeared in front of her eyes, she never imagined that Uncle Egger she knew would become what he is today.
A pair of eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs were full of black bloodshots. Under the eyes, there was a mess of blood all over the body. The entire face was littered with wounds, scratches, and dark red smudges from dried blood.
Egger's originally thick and beautiful hair was now rolled together like a mess of hemp rope, and it was full of blood stains that had also dried up, and the hair was coagulated into a mess of lumps, pieces of hair.
"Wow". Vivien eventually burst into tears. She let go of her grip on the shroud. He clutched his face and mouth tightly, for fear that his crying would disturb Egg.
Orin silently hugged Vivien tightly, his eyes looking at Egg's messy face. trembling and clenching a fist, the fist clenched tightly, and the teeth were clenched.
"You're running out of time, I've got another corpse ready, you have to take Egger's corpse away now, go straight out of the city, and don't stop towards the east. Oswald's cold face spat out a word.
Orin nodded, letting go of Vivien.
After taking a deep breath, Oswald led Vivien out of the room, leaving Orin and Filin to carry Egger's body.
At night, the group quickly left the imperial city of Durogar in a carriage arranged by Oswald.
Oswald stood on top of the city wall and watched the carriage disappear into the night. This is probably the last thing he can do for Egger. Another knight who committed a mistake but did not die ended up in Durogar. Oswald knew very well that Egger's death had little to do with him, although Egger was the one he brought back to the Imperial City of Durogar from Carroston to help Orin and the others, just because after learning more about Egger's past actions in the border city of Carroston, out of respect for such an upright knight.
In the carriage, Orin and Vivien silently guarded Egger's corpse. Driving the carriage was Philin, who was dressed in brown plain leather armor.
The crying on Vivian's face had calmed down, and her eyes were more full of sorrow and sadness, as well as a lot of hatred.
Exhausted, Orin leaned against the window of the carriage, already asleep, he had not had a good rest for a day in the past few years, he had been running around the Imperial City of Dourogal for Egger, and even owed the Chamber of Commerce a huge sum of more than 5,000 gold coins. But in the end, Egger was still hanged, and the guardian knights of Carroston eventually died in the imperial city of Durogar, full of malice and intrigue.
Vivien lowered her eyelids and watched silently at the night outside the carriage. During the conversation between her father and Philin along the way, she vaguely knew the true cause of Egger's death.
An upright knight executed a neighboring spy and was hanged for not having a public trial, which was obviously too severe.
And the real reason for the hanging of the knights of Egger is the power of hatred of these nobles, and these hatreds actually come from the hatred of their teacher Li Xuan, whose teacher Li Xuan once cast a forbidden spell and doomsday judgment in the imperial city of Durogal, burning thousands of innocent nobles and commoners, and even several knights.
She had never heard her father or anyone else talk about it!
When his father and Philin talked about it that day, it was incredulous. Later, she secretly went out of the manor alone and asked many civilian merchants in Durogar, only to learn that her teacher, the handsome and kind teacher Li Xuan, who was very good to her, turned out to be the evil mage of Durogar Imperial City, as if everyone hated him to the core.
She still remembers the eyes full of hatred and despair when the little girl from the Chamber of Commerce mentioned her teacher Li Xuan. Her father, mother, and many other members of the Chamber of Commerce all died that day in the Randy family's residence, leaving not even a trace of bones or belongings.
That day, her mind was full of what Li Xuan had said about "Forbidden Spells: Doomsday Judgment" during a class: "Fire magic power also has a very terrifying magic, the number one magic among all forbidden spells...... Extremely terrifying...... Mobilize all the fire elements in the entire space, a massive, dense, uncontrollable rain of fire with terrible temperatures. ”
In a trance, the wheels of the carriage bumped into small stones, and the whole carriage shook violently, and Orin was awakened.
Vivien looked in the dark carriage at her father, who was awakened by the window.
"Father......" Vivien opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse.
Orin stood up with some distress and looked at the woman with an unclear expression in the dark.
"Those people really hate teachers. Vivien said uncomfortably.
Orin's expression in the darkness changed slightly, and he sighed: "Vivian, everything is in the past. ”
Vivian shook her head vigorously: "No, there is no past, they told me that their parents, brothers and friends all died in the fire rain of the teacher, and they lost their dearest relatives. And all because of the teacher's ......"
Orin fell silent.
"Uncle Egger's death was also because of the teacher, and those nobles transferred their hatred for the teacher to Uncle Egger, so they hanged Uncle Egger, ......I know," Vivien said and cried out in pain.
Amid muffled weeping, the carriage drove into a remote manor house east of the Imperial City of Dourogar.
Vivien watched as Philin and her father moved Egger's body into the manor, and soon after, several buckets of water were brought in to wash Egger's body.
"You go out first, Vivien. Orin said to his daughter.
Hearing her father's words, Vivien shook her head, "I'm going to stay and help Uncle Egger clean." ”
Orin and Ferin looked at her, didn't say much, and nodded.
Vivien walked over to the table where Egger's body was kept, and took a wooden basin with water and linen from Orin to him. Grabbing the sackcloth and twisting it, he began to wipe Egg's face with trembling hands.
The water soon soaked the blood clots on the dry face, and the blood clots turned into blood little by little, and the blood flowed down the skin to the table, and in addition to the blood on the table, there were Vivian's teardrops.
It didn't take long for all the blood clots on Egg's face to be cleaned, and the wounds on his resolute face were washed white, Vivien slowly washed Egger's hair with water, and used her own comb to comb his hair seriously.
After cleaning Egger's head, Vivien was taken out of the room by Orin, and the moment the door was closed, the tears broke down again, and she suppressed her crying, squatting outside the door, covering her mouth tightly, and letting the tears flow freely.
