Chapter 170: Crisis Resolution and New Problems
The triumphant Irish soldiers received the warmest welcome, but Arthur and the princess returned early and did not participate in the festivities.
The princess had been depressed since Tristan was captured, and when she returned to the palace, she immediately returned to her room and closed the door.
Arthur looked at her distant back and sighed deeply.
A pair of bumpy fates.
Although Ireland has survived the crisis for the time being, it is not really over, and the Duke will still threaten the peace and integrity of Ireland.
In the middle of the night, Arthur stood on the balcony and watched the moon sky in a silent daze.
The night breeze was cold and clear, and Eve quietly returned from afar.
"How's it going? Arthur asked.
"The two knights, Tristan and Ranmaroke, were locked up by them and have no worries about their lives for the time being, they should have wanted to use the two knights to blackmail you, and did not hand them over to the duke. ”
"That's fine, it's easier to do. ”
For several days, Eve has been tracking the people of the Secret Law Society, and finally found out something, Arthur listened carefully, and formulated the next battle plan, everything seems to be on the right track, but it will not have much impact.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the people from the Secret Law Society, maybe everything would have been a different scene, much better and more perfect than it is now.
Tristan's arrest is also a big test for himself, no one will not suffer hardships in his life, if he can successfully overcome the past, everything will be more perfect.
Before that, let's find a way to save him, it's not good to delay for too long, after all, I am a real outsider.
Arthur said in his heart.
The next morning, Arthur and the king took their leave, not explaining where they were going, but clearly heading for the kingdom of Sealand.
The King of Ireland thanked Arthur for saving the crisis of the duchy and personally saw him off, he was going to reward Arthur with some treasures as a reward, but Arthur refused, the reason why he would help Ireland was only because the relationship between Tristan and Ranmarok and the Kingdom of Ireland was not very big, and he would always be uneasy to receive their remuneration rashly, and besides, his current wealth has reached a very terrifying level, do you still need someone else's reward?
Princess Isold looked at Arthur's figure and said softly.
"He'll be fine, right?"
"Of course, even if he has something, I'll let him come back to see you if he's fine. Arthur said softly, too.
The crowd watched Arthur go away until he disappeared.
....................
Two young prisoners were secretly held in the empty and dark room, and the muttering sound coming from outside the door woke up the unconscious Tristan, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to check himself and his surroundings, and to see that the wounds on his body and Ranmaroke's body had been bandaged, he carefully examined the situation around him.
It was a room of unknown origin, there was nothing but two beds, and although Ranmaroch was unconscious, his breathing was smooth and obviously fine.
There was a faint sound of two people talking outside, but after entering the ears, it seemed so noisy and ignorant.
Tristan wanted to get up and move his body, but as soon as he tried to move his body, he felt a pain like a knife all over his body, as if it was not his own, exuding a heart-wrenching pain.
The buzzing in the ears is obviously the sequelae of the heavy blow.
He only vaguely remembered that he and Ranmarok were already preparing to rush towards the phalanx of knights in Sealand but were attacked by a huge phoenix, and everything after that was very vague and he couldn't remember anything.
My mind has become a mess of porridge.
Tristan closed his eyes and pondered, thinking carefully about what had happened, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt a tingling pain in his brain.
The door to the room suddenly opened, and from the outside walked in a figure in a black robe, obviously a woman. She glanced around the environment and commanded the people outside.
"It's still too loose here, and immediately send more people to watch these two people, and tell them not to take them lightly, these two people are very strong and very important, although they are seriously injured, they can't let their guard down because of this.
A man outside replied.
"It's been three days since we've been here, and the Duke says it's going to take some time to organize the next attack, and I'll order people to double the defense here. ”
"The magic protection barrier outside is arranged in two more layers, if that man finds out about this, find a way to catch him. ”
"Understood!"
Tristan looked at the woman in black, not understanding who this group of people was and what it had to do with the duke, listening to the meaning of the words, their ultimate goal was Arthur. "Who the hell are you, and what do you want to do to him?"
"You're awake, Knight Tristan. The woman glanced at Tristan, who was more versatile than Ranmarlock.
In the face of Tristan's inquiry, Snow didn't want to hide anything, and some things were good for everyone to say clearly.
"The Duke wanted to conquer Ireland a long time ago, but unfortunately there was no suitable reason, but as soon as you came out, the rest of the matter was logical, but now the only problem was the sudden interruption of Earl Arthur of Fallin, which disrupted all the rhythm. We wanted to use your lives to force him to comply, but unfortunately he didn't accept it at all. His power is terrifying, and he is a great threat to the mage, and for the sake of Ireland, I can only use you to temporarily suppress him and prevent him from messing around. ”
Tristan paused for a moment, and the answer given by the woman in black surprised him, it turned out that everything was the duke's plan, and what kind of person he had been loyal to for so many years.
"If you want to use us to blackmail him, I advise you to give up this idea, you don't know what kind of man he is, he won't give up a greater victory for the sake of two people, Arthur is a man who knows how to make trade-offs, if he understands that your ultimate goal is Ireland then he will definitely keep him, because he understands that Ranmarok and I will not blame him for giving up saving us both. ”
Snow didn't explain anything more, she was a magician and a person who admired the origin of magic, and the so-called friendship between knights was only considered a retarded mutual comfort.
"Knight Tristan, what I said is very clear, as for how you understand it, it has nothing to do with me, and I have no right to interfere, but in a word, if Arthur comes here to save you, then he will definitely die. ”
With that, she walked out of the door, and the cold, dark door closed again.
"Tristan, do you think Arthur will kill everyone here for the sake of the two of us?"
At some point, Ranmarok woke up, and apparently heard the conversation between the two of them.
In the face of Ranmarokh's half-joking inquiry, Tristan sighed, it turned out that all the contradictions were related to himself, and his mood was inevitably depressed, but when he heard the person's name, his complicated mood eased a lot.
"No, he's going to have to drain everyone here. ”
