Chapter 14: The Dungeon

Everyone has their own secrets, and Carol is no different, she was originally a maid in the main castle of the Legion in Burnt City, but because of a chance opportunity, she was entrusted with a "heavy task" by the Legion Leader, and since then she has a secret of her own.

In the past, she served tea and water to the adults in the main fort every day, cleaned up, worked hard, she never received praise from her boss, nor did she get the respect of her colleagues, not only that, but she was always excluded by others, and was always looked at and coldly regarded by others. But what could she do? She was just an ordinary maid, she had a face that was not pretty, she had a good figure, she was not stupid but she was not smart, and if there was anything different about her from others, it was that she had lost her mother since she was a child.

Her father dragged her until she was fifteen years old, when she died in a war, and she was fortunate enough to find a job that she could afford to support herself, and that job was three years.

All in all, Carol is a very inconspicuous maid, but she has to do a very secret job, guarding two special prisoners in the dungeon. Originally, this was a trust in the Legion Commander, and she should be happy, but since the identities of the two prisoners seemed to be important, her freedom was limited to the bottom of the main fortress, and all she had to do every day was to deliver food to the two prisoners, and to tell the officers who came every day what she had heard.

It has been five days since she accepted this important task, and Carol has delivered the prepared food to this dungeon today, and when she opens the sealed iron door, she is greeted not only by the deep and quiet darkness, but also by the singing of the light of the morning light, and every time she hears this touching sound, everyone in the dungeon will stop all their movements and listen quietly, and sometimes even the guards guarding the door will delay closing the door because of this.

"Sister Carol, you're here. The moving song stopped after the last note, and the voice of a little girl like a nightingale came from the dark dungeon. Carol cautiously walked into the dark room, and it took a while for her eyes to get used to the darkness, and by the faint glimmer of light that remained of the vent, she found where the little girl was. The little girl was thin and skinny, and her originally yellowish complexion showed a little sickly whiteness under the darkness.

Beside the little girl lay a middle-aged man who was trying to keep his eyes open, the middle-aged man's clothes were tattered, and he had obviously been tortured, and his eyes, although gentle and easy-going, had lost their focus.

"Well, Sister Vichy, I'm here to bring you food again, and I've also brought Mr. Rebos's medicine. Carol smiled as she walked over to them.

"Thank you, Miss Carol, and trouble you to take care of me, the dying man, ahem!" Rebos, who was lying on the ground, wanted to stand up and thank Carol, but he was seriously ill and could only sit up reluctantly, leaning against the wall weakly with the help of Vichy, but despite the constant pain and suffering, he still kept a smile on his face, as if this would reduce the pain on his body.

"Mentor, you will not die, did you not say that the flame of revolution will never be extinguished, and the blood of revolution will never be exhausted. Vichy was angry when she heard Ribos's frustration, even though she knew that what Ribs said was not a lie.

"Yes, as long as you apply the wound medicine, your injury will heal quickly, this wound medicine is very effective. Carol followed suit.

"Don't talk about it, I know my own situation, I was lucky to die for the revolution, plus I can hear the voice of light before I die, I can die without regrets. ”

"Mentor ......" listened to Ribos's words, and Vichy was a little silent.

"Well, there's been a lot of interesting stuff going on lately, Sister Vichy, would you like to hear about it?" said Carol with an awkward laugh.

"Well, I like to listen to stories the most. ”

"Well, the most interesting thing about the past is probably what happened two days ago at the Awadi Prince's Manor. ”

"Awadi?"

"Ah, he is the only son of the old army commander, and he is a very rich young master anyway. Listening to Carol's words, Vichy nodded in understanding.

"Two days ago, a good-looking young man went to apply for the job of Master Awadi's swordsmanship teacher, and then he was asked to show his swordsmanship, and then guess what happened?" Carol also wanted to sell a pass and tease the little girl, but unfortunately she only shook her head slightly, and then looked at her with big eyes flashing brightly.

"Hmph, he pulled out a random sword from the weapon rack, and said haughtily, 'Go find some archers. Carroll said with relish, acting in style.

"What are you looking for archers for?" Vicky was a little puzzled by Carol's words.

"Yes, what are you doing with the archers?" the attendants didn't know what the gentleman was going to do, but since they had asked for it, they would do it. ”

"Uh-huh, and then what?"

"And then, ah, and then the gentleman said, 'You archers are all shooting at me, and I can not only dodge the arrows completely, but also split them in two. ”

"What?" Carol's words caused Vichy to exclaim, and Raise's interest was raised.

It sounds unbelievable, but it happened. The archers had the idea of teaching the big man a lesson, but when they actually shot the arrows, the gentleman's performance really shocked everyone. I saw him dance the long sword in front of him, and his body danced with the long sword, and in just an instant, those arrows were cut in half and scattered all over the ground. ”

"Is it that powerful?" asked Vichy curiously.

"Hey, I don't know about this, after all, I've heard about it, but everyone says so, so it should be true. Carol said awkwardly.

"There are many powerful people in this world, and there are many people who are more powerful than that gentleman, but you are still too young and have seen too little, and you will have the opportunity to see more people and a more different world in the future. Ribos didn't express much surprise, he just hoped to use it to encourage Vichy to ease her previous depression because of herself.

"I know that there will be such a day, and I know that one day, we will be able to see the wider world and see the true light, so you must persevere, Mentor. ”

"Actually, if you're willing to compromise, the Legion Commander might let you go. Carroll interjected at an inopportune moment, and the only answer to her was a silent protest.

"Well, by the way, I heard from the guards that there seems to be a slave auction or something in the East City recently. Carol became more and more embarrassed the more she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she had to stand aside a little overwhelmed.

"Mentor, can you tell me another story?"

"Okay, let me tell you a story about Rocky the Challenger. ”

......

Carol didn't listen, and she silently exited the dungeon, looking helplessly at the iron door that was gradually shut. She knew that she shouldn't think much about what she couldn't do, that she was just an ordinary maid, just a poor person struggling to survive.
