Chapter 344: The Sunken Ship

Time flies, and the day of Hillier's wedding is approaching, but there is nothing in the territory of Stennis that is an ally that looks like he is going to get married, but every house and door are closed, as if some bad luck will befall them.

This made Stannis very strange, why did this happy event be like a funeral, and the civilians here didn't give their lords face!

"What's going on?" Stannis asked to the people next to him, since it was a 'wedding without blessings', there were very few lords who came to attend, and there was a fixed number of them, including Stannis, a total of three lords and four people, except for him, the old faces Randall and Barrow, and Robert, who was forcibly pulled over by Stannis.

The Bucks' territory was in a state of flux, and everyone but him knew what the reason was.

The shrewd Landall replied to his question, "They are all afraid of revenge! The civilians here are not stupid, of course they have heard of Duke Garcia's fondness for massacres, they know that Sophia, as a bride, will definitely not do anything, and these civilians will not become the punching bag of the Garcia family, of course, they dare not take the lead." Those who stayed were a little loyal to Hillier's kid, and many more had fled into other people's territory, such as me and Da Niu who had taken in a lot of refugees in the past few days. ”

Barrow nodded to indicate that this was also the case in his territory.

Stannis touched his chin, "I said, how the number of peasants entering my territory has skyrocketed in the past few days, it turns out that they are coming from Hillier's side. I'm going to send them back after we get married...... By the way, doesn't that kid Hillier have a good reputation for loving the people? how could he be indifferent to the present situation?"

Lan Daole showed a look of embarrassment, he touched his head helplessly and seemed to be overwhelmed by his friend's current situation, "Hillier's current situation is a bit complicated, how to say it, you will know what the situation is when you go there and see him." ”

"Okay. Stannis looked at the apocalyptic scene after the zombies had looted the city, and felt that the whole wedding must not have gone as smoothly as he had imagined.

The poor four men appeared alone in front of Hillier's castle, which was even more bleak, and Stannis even doubted that there was anyone else who could breathe.

"It doesn't feel like a castle for the living, but like a coffin for the dead, wouldn't Garcia kill all the Sanlu kid in advance!"

Stannis felt that something was wrong, because there was not even a servant to watch the horses for them, and the situation was too evil.

"Is there anyone!" he shouted as he stood in front of the closed castles.

After a long time, the heavy door was finally pushed open from the inside out, and out came a trembling old man, who wanted to stand up straight to greet the guests, but his waist was already overwhelmed by the years, and the old man tried to speak in clear words: "Welcome to the wedding of His Excellency Hillier Dill, Viscount of Tanis, and Miss Sophia Garcia, where you will receive the greatest hospitality, distinguished guests!"

Stannis looked around a few times and saw that no one was present but them.

The old servant knew this, too, but he still had to put on a little show for his master, but the scene was still very awkward for a while.

In the end, it was his old acquaintance Lan Daoer who couldn't stand it and said: "Okay, okay, old Dahn, we are all old acquaintances, so we don't need to engage in these polite things, take us to meet the master of your family." ”

"Of course, of course, Sir Doug and Sir Bafolou, but who are these two?" Of course, Dahn knew Ergou and Da Niu who had grown up with Hillier, but he had not met the other two.

Stannis stepped forward and introduced himself: "I'm Stannis Justinian, this is Robert, and my real name is inconvenient to reveal." ”

"Oh, so you are Lord Justine, I have often heard the master mention you, please come in, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

The four men rushed in, and the inside of the castle was no better than the bleak scene outside, the hall was in shambles, the menorah had fallen, and the cups and plates had broken as if they had been looted.

Looking at this scene, Randall couldn't help frowning, "Dahn, what's going on?" I remember that although there aren't many servants in Hillier's castle, there are twenty or thirty, why don't you even have a cleaner now?"

The old servant sighed, "You also know that this wedding will provoke people who should not be provoked, and His Excellency Dill also has a premonition of the next revenge of the Garcia family, so he dismissed everyone here first." ”

"But don't run them all out! Barrow said dissatisfied.

Lan Dole sneered, "Hmph, when the ship sinks, the first to jump into the sea is often the rat in the warehouse. Dahn, hurry up and take us to your master, I'm worried about his current situation. ”

Dahn sighed, "That's what I'm worried about, go and see him, he's been drinking for a week." ”

Smelling something unusual about this, Stannis hurriedly followed the old servant towards the rear of the castle, where they found Hillier slumped in a pile of wine bottles in front of a section of decaying staircase.

In Stennis the impression that Hillier was not a drinker, and if it weren't for the handsome face of the man in front of him, Stennis really couldn't have connected this guy who was like rolling in a pigsty with the viscount who had no last resort.

"You're here, do you want some wine!" Hillier raised his glass drunkenly, inviting his guests to join him.

Seeing him like this, Barrow and Randall knew him best at once understood that the groom was in a very bad situation, one of them controlled Hillier, who was already unstable, and the other took the wine glass from under him.

Hillier didn't go crazy like other drunkards because of the snatching of the wine glass, he just looked up and said to Dahn: "Daddy, you have been following my father and me for forty years, I really can't repay you, here's a bag of gold coins, you can take it home and enjoy the family, I don't need you here." ”

But the faithful old servant would never leave his master, and he had begun to weep, "Master, I will not leave you!"

Hillier waved his hand, "I don't want to repeat it a second time, if you don't leave I'll kick you out of my castle." ”

Although his tone was calm, the old servant, who knew his master's temper, could only leave crying, and soon the hall was calm again.

"Sanlu, why do you have to be so ruthless?" Stannis couldn't help but ask, feeling that this marriage was originally a very festive thing, but now it has become like this, it is a dismissal and an expulsion, and it becomes like he is going to the execution ground.

Hillier looked up, his eyes blood-red from the excess alcohol, and he stared straight into the air, his face ethereal, as if he were talking about what was happening in another world.

"I want to ask you, Dragon Horror, can people really be so cruel as to give up their flesh and bones?"
