Chapter 338: Ferdinand's Request
Atwood craned his neck and listened patiently to Duke's story, it turned out that Bishop did not have any mercy in the process of trying the case, he just wanted to use the fire in Muddy Alley to create a false impression, and then quickly enter the Senate with this false impression of the people's support. But the outcome of the trial was unbelievable, and Duke uncharacteristically threw down his work and ran to the door of the Justice Bureau to watch Ferdinand and his gang be exiled.
At that time, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the Justice Bureau, and Duke was very conspicuous in the crowd in the costume of the night watch captain. As the five children were thrown into the prison car, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and Duke glanced at the people around him who were watching the excitement and shouted, "What the hell is going on?" Before the words could be finished, Ferdinand walked over with a smile.
Duke immediately drew his sword and pressed it against Ferdinand's neck. "Criminal, get back to the prison van, or you'll die on the spot." Duke issued a warning. Ferdinand didn't speak, he just glanced at the handle of the sword out of the corner of his eye, and Duke immediately felt that his arm was sore, and he didn't have any strength around him. With a "dang bang", the long sword fell to the ground. Ferdinand looked at Duke, and instead of the cynical attitude that he had just tried the case, he said very sincerely: "You are very upright, but you have no place in Auston City. ”
Duke was very angry when he heard Ferdinand's words, although he came from a humble background, but with his continuous efforts, he finally became the captain of the Night Watch, which was also the most sacred profession he could think of, and he did not feel "humble" or "condescending" to this kind of work arrangement. "What do you mean by that?" Duke asked solemnly. Before Ferdinand could reply, he asked, "What's going on with these people around me? Are you a magician?
Ferdinand was not in a hurry in the face of Duke's series of questions, and he replied slowly: "They came to see the excitement, I will let them wait for a while, it will not affect anything." But there's one thing I'd like to explore with you. Duke looked at Ferdinand, who was an "exile", and asked, "What do you want to say to me?
"What are you kidding, I don't mean to overturn the case, you must know that exile is equivalent to release, I will send these children to ...... safely" Ferdinand was momentarily stuck, he couldn't find a place in his mind where he could arrange these "accomplices". Duke never believed in magical powers, and although his arms were numb, he still didn't give up, and his fingers curled repeatedly proved that he was trying to resist.
Ferdinand walked over and placed his hand on Duke's shoulder. "What do you want to do?" Duke asked aloud. Ferdinand used his palm to infuse a stream of rune energy into Duke's body, and then used his right hand to pick up the gray hair on his sideburns, and said in a chic manner: "I will give you a meeting gift." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Duke felt his sore-numb arm regain his state, and he immediately picked up the long sword on the ground and stabbed Ferdinand. Something unexpected happened, and Ferdinand disappeared into thin air. When Duke turned around, he immediately noticed that the vanished Ferdinand was standing behind him at some point. This time, Duke knew that he had encountered a powerful man, and instead of attacking again, he put his sword back on his waist and asked, "Whatever you want to do, I'll put you in the prison car." ”
"I'm definitely going to stay in the prison cart and be sent to the Hogan Forest by those stupid soldiers. But before I leave Auston City, please do me a favor. Ferdinand lowered his posture noticeably. Duke was not an unreasonable person either, he himself believed that Ferdinand's gang were innocent, and that Bishop should not have exiled these children. Now that he heard Ferdinand's words, he knew that there must be something else hidden in the fire in Muddy Water Alley, so he nodded and said, "You say, as long as it is not against my conscience, I will do it." ”
Ferdinand smiled at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and he pointed to the hole in Duke's body and said, "You now have the skill of shaking the earth and shaking the mountains, this skill is a low-level rune magic, although the damage level is low, but it is still very effective in scaring people. Duke tugged at the hole in his shirt with his fingers and asked, "What are you doing this for? Win over me and let you go?" Ferdinand smiled and said, "You misunderstood, I just said that I would leave Auston City in a prison car." But there's one thing that really needs your help. ”
Duke looked at the sincere Ferdinand and asked, "What's the matter?" Ferdinand looked at the crowd standing around him, knowing that the magic time was about to expire, he pointed in the direction of Muddy Alley and said, "Andy and the parents of those children are still crushed under the rubble, whether they are alive or not, please find them and place them properly." ”
"Is that it?" Duke asked with suspicion. Ferdinand replied very easily: "This is it." Duke froze his face, not because he didn't want to help, but because he felt that it was his job. "You're wasting your magical energy, and even if you don't ask me, I'll do it. Duke spoke his mind. Ferdinand clapped his hands and said, "Okay, very good, I know that I didn't see the wrong person in the interrogation just now, you are indeed a rare righteous person in Auston City." Well, I'll disappear with Andy and his buddies for a while, and I'll send them back when the limelight passes. ”
Duke picked his ears with his fingers, he felt that the knight in front of him was really very respectable, if it weren't for the powerful relationship between the "official" and the "prisoner", he would definitely drag Ferdinand to his residence to drink and talk.
"What are you doing? The prisoners have run away. A soldier who had lost his magic power shouted loudly, and the bustling crowd around him regained his freedom. Ferdinand whispered, "Please!" With that, the gray-haired old knight climbed into the prisoner's cart and disappeared before Duke's eyes.
After listening to Duke's story, Atwood asked curiously: "It turns out that Andy left Auston City like this, I thought it was ...... So are his parents saved?" Duke replied with a pout, pouting at Ferdinand's question, "The house is collapsing, and it was too late for me to get back to Muddy Water, which was a mess and I couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman." ”
"Andy is so pitiful, he lost his parents at such a young age, but I am even more pitiful, I haven't seen what my parents look like, you ......" Before he finished speaking, Atwood noticed that the small black dot in the night sky was approaching the team, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Pay attention to dodge!" Wu Wu
