Chapter 461: The Return of the Prophet (3)
"Oh, you know what Andy was like when he was a kid? I tell you, he was really skinny and didn't want to talk to people. Until the old knight, well? no, it should be the appearance of the old magician Ferdinand. Well, then everything changed. Rory yelled very loudly with the pan, and the fireplace was already messy with food scraps.
Atwood and Wright began to feel sleepy, and they didn't forget to tell Elton in their drowsiness. "You can tell us a little bit about the Deadwood Forest next time, we're interested. As soon as the words fell, the two of them fell to the ground, and the nursery suddenly snored loudly. Beatrice glanced at the clutter around her, and walked out of the castle with Dana in her arms to get some fresh air. Facing the bright starry sky, she sighed, then fixed her eyes on the slope to the west. Under the light of the moon, a black shadow gradually disappeared into the desert of the White Bone Wilderness. "Andy......" Beatrice whispered.
In the north, the city of Auston is brightly lit, and the palace is even more lively, and the whole main city has been immersed in the joy of victory since King Shino's "great victory" in the Battle of Glen. The Senate was praising Shino and touting each other's plans to attack the Glen, but none of them were willing to mention the merits of General Duke. Seemingly overnight, everyone forgot that there was another hero who was the captain of the Night Patrol who almost died in the desert, and they scoffed at the name "Duke" and avoided talking about it.
"You're a great general, but you're a traitor?" a topless jailer whipped Duke on the back repeatedly, his words far outweighing the torment of flesh. "Snap, snap, snap......" The whip whipped harder, but Duke didn't resist or let out a groan of pain. For King Shino, he was disappointed. Since this great nobleman became king, he didn't care about anything at all except holding a ball, and even the sneak attack on the valley was hastily signed at the instigation of the senators. "Loyalty and treachery do not distinguish between loyalty. Duke squeezed the words out between his teeth.
The jailer's shoulders ached, he gasped, and he gloated over the general Duke in front of him. Everyone knows that Duke is a civilian hero, with no background or background, and he only became the general of Auston City by daring to fight, and this achievement itself is envied. Now the former unattainable general has fallen into the hands of the jailer, which is just in response to the sentence "The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs".
In fact, just a few months ago, things seemed to be going relatively well. Although the battle of the Glen was tragic and the "Childe" guards were almost wiped out, they successfully prevented the invasion of the Calby Elves. Shino led his army into the Sunshade Forest without any resistance, and it was all the result of a magical explosion. The Senate carried away the brocade box and the hourglass of time, and the portal to another world disappeared into the pit of the valley with a roar.
"The victory in the Battle of the Glen is absolutely inseparable from the sneak attack, even if you don't promote Duke's rank, you can't arrest an old general with outstanding military achievements as a prisoner who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country. "The common people are complaining about Duke, but the truth is so unbelievable, without the threat of Tyran, King Shino is like an idiot without any scruples, he just heard a member of the Senate say that Duke and Andy have a good relationship, and have become a family, and are in danger of overthrowing the regime. As a result, before Duke entered the city, he was arrested on the charge of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country".
The jailer was tired, and he threw down his whip and walked out of the torture chamber. "You two keep an eye on this old fellow, and I'll go out and get something to eat. As soon as he finished speaking, fragrant barbecue and freshly baked bread suddenly appeared on the wooden table. The three jailers were dumbfounded, they look at me, I look at you. The jailer who whipped Duke rubbed his dirty little eyes with his dirty fingers, not sure that the food in front of him could be enjoyed, but that the two younger jailers had already screamed and pounced on the table. "Ahh
Two kegs of fresh beer appeared on the table of "Liquor, Liquor ......", and the jailers could smell the aroma inside through the wooden planks of the barrels. "It's going to be a night to remember!" said the three jailers, who were too full to drink and eat, and who didn't want to continue mistreating Duke. "I'm a little dizzy. Before he could finish speaking, all three jailers fell to the ground.
The sole of a foot covered in sand rested on the shoulder of a jailer, and snoring was already loud in the dimly lit cell. "Father, are you alright?" Andy appeared in the torture chamber with his cloak on. Duke was lying on the torture instrument, and the whiplash wound on his back was scorchingly painful. He barely opened his eyes and replied, "I can't stand it anymore, I haven't suffered this crime for many years." ”
Andy uses magic to atomize the torture instrument and conjure up a large comfortable bed inside the torture chamber. "You'll be a little more comfortable lying on it, and Emma Essence will heal your wounds very quickly. Duke looked at the cool magic and exclaimed, "It's really thoughtful, I thought you were going to take me away right away?" Andy sat on a stool and looked at the moon outside the window, he knew what he should do.
"We can't leave here yet, I'm not much better off than you, and the streets of Auston City are plastered with my wanted notices. I've been plotted by Eric in the Guardian's Lair, and Bishop's death has left me speechless. Andy said with a wry smile, which Duke admired.
Andy pointed to the jailer outside the torture chamber and said, "Those three guys can sleep for days, and I'll go and fetch Srimore when I'm settled here." Duke smiled and asked, "Are you going to stay here for a long time?" Andy nodded, he thought it was best not to scare the snake until he found the brocade box and the hourglass.
"Don't worry, I can use magic to completely isolate this torture chamber, and you don't have to worry about food and water. As he spoke, Andy subconsciously touched the Eye of Harris on his neck with his hand. "Eat, these foods are given to us by Shino. As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the torture cell. Duke frowned and muttered, "Actually, I could have easily escaped, but why would I do that?" he grabbed a large piece of roast beef and stuffed it into his mouth, then smiled happily.
Andy soon flies to Bishop's mansion, a veteran guide who is full of magical signals she's left for Andy on his way to Auston City. "My beautiful Miss Sraymore, don't be any more reserved, Duke has been put on death row, and the worst crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is exile. You're so young and pretty, if you follow Duke, won't you be cheaper than those escort soldiers?" a balding old man in the courtyard squinted his eyes and kept persuading Slimmore to comply.
