In the dungeon, dark and damp.

There was no light other than a thick iron bar, and a torch was lit at the staircase leading to the ground.

Roy sat on the ground, staring blankly at the shackles on his hands.

It is a special type of prison gear, designed according to the different forces of the imprisoned. The one he wears now can imprison a knight of glory.

Coupled with the magic pattern array engraved on the wall to isolate the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the surrounding elements were so thin that not even a small fireball could be released. Therefore, escaping here is an unrealistic delusion.

Not to mention...... Roy looked up. At the entrance of the dungeon, several heavily armed knights were guarded. In addition to Hope and Edson, there are three knights of impartial five-star strength. These people are already the most powerful force in the current logistics escort force. They were all used to guard themselves.

The corners of Roy's mouth hooked secretly.

Everything on his body has been cleaned. The leather armor was removed, as was the Firewing Soul Eater armor. All that's left is a pair of linen pants.

The space ring and the elemental ring on his hand were playing with Edson's hands at the moment, and the necklace around his neck with the dragon claw bead and the undead unicorn living treasure pendant given by Grandpa William was being carefully examined by Hope over and over again. Even the hair and feet were carefully searched to make sure there was nothing to escape.

It's really well guarded.

Counting the time, I was caught in, and twenty-four prayer hours have passed.

In the dungeon, there was a dead silence. Aside from the occasional whispering of a few watchers, there was only the occasional beep of burning torches.

"Hey, you say, are the rabble's brains broken?" Hope flipped through and turned without seeing the mystery of the necklace in his hand, and casually placed it on the wooden table beside him. With a sneering face, he said to a few people beside him, "For such a kid, you want to go to war with us?"

"This kid is said to be the hero of Medin City," Edson glanced at Roy in his cell lightly, "Many people think." It was he who saved the rabble and the city of Medin. ”

"I've heard of that, too," said Hope, disdainfully, "but it's just a lie!"

He turned his head to look at the other knights, "A hairy boy, save the whole battle, do you believe it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

They had not heard of Roy's deeds, so it seemed to them that the boy had played a role in the Battle of Medin City. Maybe it's true, but it would be ridiculous to say that the whole battle was saved by him.

He is not a commander who can influence the tide of battle, he is not a high-powered general, he is not a knight commander who leads a knight to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment, an infantry battalion commander, or even a squadron leader and squad leader. At the end of the day, he's just a powerless man in the rabble. A hairy boy who can only follow the crowd!

Hope snorted coldly and glanced at Roy. "But that's okay. No matter why those idiots stand up for this kid, I don't believe that they can still turn the sky upside down!"

"Turning the sky upside down?" Edson smirked, "don't say they don't have the ability, even if they do." I'm afraid that the adults will seriously investigate it, and they won't have the courage to make trouble again. As soon as the order is announced, arrest so many leaders, and put the whole camp under martial law, these guys can only disperse in a hurry. ”

Everyone agreed.

Clashes between the rabble and the rear battalion. They didn't take it seriously at all. Don't look at a group of mud legs, there are a few of them with quite good strength, and as soon as the conflict began, the logistics escort team was disgraced. But so what. Even if the entire barracks shook. It can be said that who has half the courage to storm the gate of this rear camp? It is just to pick quarrels and provoke trouble outside the camp, and to put some empty guns that do not hurt or itch, so as to make a face.

If they really want to do anything wrong, I'm afraid they won't be so noisy that the whole camp will know about it.

No one takes the rabble guys seriously. What everyone felt meaningful now was the attitude of the lords and General Eugene.

As confidants of their respective lords, everyone knows what the adults are thinking. It's no secret that he has been eye-to-eye with the Lanris family for a long time. Now, this contradiction has become more and more tense with the situation on the front line. This conflict, hidden under calm, will one day erupt sooner or later.

Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow.

Of course, the knights weren't too worried.

On the contrary, they have an inexplicable excitement and expectation for this. A power change drama related to the glory and wealth of the next few decades is about to begin, and they will occupy a place in it. Perhaps, with a beautiful performance, you can seize the opportunity to enter the sight of the Lanrith family, and rise to the top!

This world is the world of the aristocracy.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, is not the same. Those families that are old and lack vitality will always be eliminated with the passage of time, with the turmoil again and again. Those young, energetic and emerging nobles will replace them as the rulers of the land.

Everybody, they want to be one of them.

This is not an extravagant hope. At least...... Eyes on the boy in the iron prison. Hope and the others all had a sinister smile on their faces.

Now, you've got off to a great start.

"Bang dang. ”

There was a sound of an iron door from upstairs. There was a sound of footsteps. A moment later, Herman's figure, surrounded by four guards, appeared at the door of the dungeon.

"Your Excellency!"

Hope and the others straightened up, lined up left and right, and greeted Herman as he walked down the stairs.

Herman walked through the crowd with a blank face, and walked to the edge of the iron prison, looking at the young man inside through the iron bar. Half a prayer hour ago, Lord Natasha himself said to himself.

"Open the door. Herman said.

Hope quickly removed the key from the wall and opened the door.

With a glance of Herman's back, Herman and Edson understood, walked through the cell door, escorted Roy out, and tied him to a heavy, bloodstained cross-shaped wooden frame.

"What do you want to do?" Roy, who looked confused, apparently aware of some kind of crisis, questioned Herman as he struggled, "Captain Herman." Didn't you say that you would explain it to the Judge Advocate General for me?"

"It's not about Judge Advocate General. Herman said lightly.

Roy seemed to be a little dazed, subconsciously stopped struggling, let Hope and the others tie him up, and asked, "Why......?

"Let's be honest. I'm curious about you. When Roy was tied up, Herman stood in front of Roy, looked into his eyes and said, "How did a lowly commoner, a small handyman hired by the Baron's Mansion with three silver tas a month, get to this point. ”

Roy looked at him in confusion.

Herman paced through the dungeon with his hands behind his back and said, "Seventeen or eighteen years old brave knight. He is also an excellent magician, a training camp student, a hero of the Battle of Medin City, and a future guardian knight canonized by Princess Elethia herself, if you count the meritorious deeds at the Victory Day celebration, then you should now be a first-class tiger lieutenant of the empire, a registered knight of the knight hall. A baron with the Order of the Golden Lion of the 1st Class and a Rank A Estate. ”

He turned his head, under the stunned gaze of Hope and the others. Looking at Roy, "Am I right?"

Roy blinked and nodded.

Herman smiled, "It's a pity that for some reason you didn't receive the reward of Archduke Adolf on Victory Day, let alone the glory of the crowd's cheers. For others. It's hard to understand. However, if it were me, I guess I would make the same choice as you. The reason is simple......"

As he spoke, the smile on his face faded completely, and he said. "You shouldn't have offended the Lanris family, who you can't afford to provoke in your life!"

Roy's face changed suddenly. He stared at Herman, as if he had noticed something unbelievable, and his eyes were angry.

"You...... You're from Lanrith?"

"Looks like you've guessed it. Herman looked him in the eye and said word by word.

"They asked you to deal with me?" Roy gritted his teeth, "Today's qiē is a play played by you?"

"Acting?" Herman sneered, shaking his head, "we're just doing what we want to do." It's you who jumped out on your own. We can't blame it. ”

He patted Roy lightly on the cheek and sneered, "If you don't love to cause trouble so much, maybe we won't be able to bump into each other in our lives." It's just a pity that you're so stupid. Who is not easy to provoke, but to provoke the Langris family. Even if I don't want to deal with you, I can't help myself. ”

"Deal with me?" Roy said, "what do you want?

He stared at Herman deadly, his forehead bruised, "The entire military camp knows that I am locked up by you." If I die here, the first training camp will definitely find General Eugene to appeal. ”

He looked around, "When the Judge Advocate General's Department intervenes in the investigation, it will immediately find out that you have defected to the Lanris family and worked for them." When that time comes, do you think that General Eugene will spare you? I am afraid that not only will you suffer, but even your lords will be punished for it......

Upon hearing this, not only Herman laughed, but everyone else present also laughed.

"I have to admit that you are much smarter than many of the teenagers I have ever met," Herman laughed, "and you can see so many things. He is worthy of being the guardian knight appointed by Princess Elethia. Compared to your companions, you stand taller and see farther. But ......"

"Do you really think we're going to be scared of Eugene?"

Roy gritted his teeth and glared at him.

"Nominally, Eugene is the supreme commander of the coalition forces, but in reality, these lords who have left Lulian are none of his. Herman shook his head.

Since Roy was already a dead man in his own eyes, Herman had some interest in chatting. He turned his head to look around at a few henchmen beside him, and said with a slight smile: "The current coalition army, our troops account for half of the troops, and the logistics supply is provided by the lords. It can be said that we are the coalition forces, and the coalition forces are our ......"

Fano wanted to rescue Archduke Adolf, and Eugene naturally listened to Fano. But they never thought that if the elite Lulian led by Archduke Adolf was still defeated, how could they rely on the Mooney City Guard and such an allied army to defeat the Ferrets?"

Herman shook his head, "It's not that I'm prestigious, it's a fact that everyone knows well. Fano's plan is completely unrealistic. ”

He paced to the wooden table, picked up Roy's spatial ring and played with it, and continued. "Just because they're stupid, though, doesn't mean everyone is just as stupid as they are. Go out and ask, I'm afraid that no lord is willing to spend his troops and financial resources in this bottomless pit.

Since they are bent on going their own way. Then, don't blame everyone for finding a way to survive themselves. And it just so happened that Lord Schilling came to Muni City at this time. If you don't sit on the big ship of the Lanrian family, do you still want to take the ruined ship of the Lulian family, which is about to sink?"

"You guys are despicable...... Roy gritted his teeth, "if you are unhappy with General Fano's plan, you can negotiate with him." However, you know that the Lanris have bad intentions towards Solan. also took the initiative to take refuge. Isn't that a betrayal?"

"Betrayal?" Herman said, shaking his index finger, "don't use words like that on us. We're just judging the situation. Rather than betting on an unrealistic battle, it is better to preserve your strength and defend the city of Muni and the people of northern Lulian. ”

"That's just an excuse for you," Roy said, "General Eugene." I won't watch you do that. If General Eugene makes up his mind, use the power at his disposal. You can't afford it either!"

Snap, Herman clapped his hands and said approvingly, "I have to say, I appreciate you a little bit now." Your gaze is sharper than even that of many nobles. Truly. If Eugene really made up his mind to start a civil war with us, we really couldn't afford it, but ......"

Thinking of Natasha's words, Herman's eyes became hot. "It's a pity that until now, he has been indecisive, trying to convince the adults without a single soldier. And tonight, it's time for him to meet Mrs. Joyce, and I think he'll make a final effort......"

Speaking of this, he stopped, his gaze swept over the faces of Hope, Edson and several other henchmen, and finally stared into Roy's eyes, and said word by word, "And this is also the last few prayers he has lived in this world!"

Hearing Herman's words, Roy couldn't help but be stunned, and even Edson, Hope and others, who were Herman's henchmen, gasped at the same time.

Looking at each other, several people only found that each other's faces were terrifyingly white.

The grown-ups are going to take action on Eugene!

Just tonight!

This news is too sudden, too appalling. Although everyone here knows that conflict between the lords and Eugene is inevitable. However, they still didn't expect that this conflict would unfold in such a cold and mysterious way.

When Eugene watched with godless eyes as the ruthless killer drew his sword from his body and fell in a pool of blood, the era of the Loulian family would finally come to an end!

The nobles, at last, have taken this step!

It's a conspiracy, a secret. When it came out of Herman's mouth, everyone felt a piercing chill.

"You're going to assassinate General Eugene?" Roy said incredulously.

"Since Eugene is ignorant of current affairs, his fate is already sealed," Herman said, "and by solving problems in this way, greater bloodshed can be avoided." Lo and behold, our hearts are not bad. It's just that for the Archduke Adolf, who appreciates you, and for your princess, the ending is not so good. ”

Roy looked at Herman coldly, for a long time, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you sued me is because you have made up your mind and want to kill people?"

"Good guess. Herman said lightly, "However, there are many ways to die. Whether you are tortured or simply cut off, it depends on your watch. ”

"What do you want?" Roy asked.

Herman walked over to the wooden table, playing with Roy's spatial ring with his left hand and stroking the items on the table with his right hand.

The strange, soft and sturdy Firewing Eater Armor, the Undead Unicorn Pendant, and the Elemental Life Ring. His eyes were full of greed.

As a knight of glory who owns a fief, Herman has no shortage of wealth. However, with his status and knowledge, he rarely saw such treasures as those in front of him.

Let's not talk about the Firewing Spirit Eater Armor. He had seen with his own eyes how Roy had relied on this demonic equipment to break free from several knight combat units. In addition to this armor, the two rings and a necklace in his hand are also known at a glance that they are not ordinary.

In that mysterious and complex magic pattern, what was sealed was a force that made him feel fear.

"Tell me all the secrets of these things, and I'll give you a good deal," Herman asked, looking at Roy, holding up the Elemental Life Ring, "What is this?"

"Do you think I'll sue you?" Roy said coldly.

Herman winked at Hope, who understood, took off the whip from the wall, and slammed it at Roy.

I only heard a crisp sound, and this whip directly pulled out a blood mark that shot diagonally to the right lower abdomen from Roy's left shoulder, the skin opened and the flesh bloomed, and the blood splashed.

"To say or not to say?" Hope smirked, "If you don't say it, we have time to toss you slowly." ”

Roy looked down at the wounds on his body and slowly raised his head.

There were no screams, no pleadings, not even the slightest sound.

The whip just now was like a whip on a person who had nothing to do with him. He just stared at this Hope, like a young man drinking coffee and reading a book in the grassy back garden on a summer afternoon, half-squinting at the visiting guests.

However, I don't know why, Roy's eyes made everyone, including Herman, feel a chill rise in their hearts.

They had the illusion that Hope's whip had been whipped at a sleeping dragon. The cold dragon's eyes opened, and blood, burning lava flowed out of the slowly opening hell gate, about to ignite the whole world!

This feeling came out of nowhere.

This is a dungeon dedicated to imprisoning criminals in the army. In order to prevent these vindictive creatures from escaping, not only are the walls surrounded by huge stones, but the shackles are also specially made.

Coupled with the soldiers stationed on the tower and the knights guarding it, Herman asked himself, even if he was imprisoned here, he would not be able to escape.

Of course, he didn't forget that this kid was still a magician with mysterious powers.

But up and down this guard tower, there are forbidden magic patterns inscribed. While this pattern does not limit the magician's magical powers, it does isolate all natural elements. And without the element, just like an archer who only has a bow but no arrows, even if he is a Dharma god, he can only be helpless.

It stands to reason that the ban is so tight, and as a Knight of Glory, with the protection of Edson, Hope and three other just knights and four personal guards, it is impossible to be afraid. However, when he saw Roy's eyes, Herman felt a fear that made his heart palpitate.

Just as the group of people were stunned by Roy's terrifying calm reaction, Roy's tongue turned in his vision, and a pigeon whistle appeared in his mouth silently.

This scene made Hope and the others all dumbfounded. They searched Roy's whole body, but they didn't expect that there was a pigeon whistle hidden in this kid's mouth!

Everyone knows what the pigeon whistle is for. I don't know who he used this pigeon whistle to contact, but since he was locked up here, it's enough for him to contact people outside a thousand times!

"Kill him, kill him immediately!" a thought flashed through his mind, and Herman gave the order as he quickly stepped back.

Before Hope could come to his senses, he looked at Herman as he quickly retreated. However, Edson was the first to react, and without saying a word, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, grabbed it in two steps, and stabbed Roy in the heart with gritted teeth

(To be continued......)
