Chapter 21: The Gambling Contract
In the dimly lit cell, the stench was stinking.
"Squeak squeakβ"
A skinny mouse scurried past Horn at a rapid pace, holding a bone from an unknown place in its mouth, and disappeared in an instant.
The last time I saw Jace, he was still personable, elegant and luxurious.
In the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner.
Jace lay haggard on the damp straw mat, and when he saw Horn coming, he suddenly stood up, and clung to the iron railing with his shackled hands.
"Go back!" the jailer yelled.
"Open the door, I have something to talk to our dear 'Duke' Jace. β
Horn deliberately accentuated the word "duke".
Jace's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at her.
After the jailer opened the door, Horn waved them back.
"You ...... Got it?"
Jace let go of the railing and stared at Horn.
Horn smiled nondeniably, "What's the matter with me? I'm a little sleepy to give you five minutes." β
"Do you want to know...... What other hidden traitors are there in the imperial capital?!"
Jace tried to get close to Horn, but the heavy shackles on his feet made it difficult for him to move.
Horn put his hands around his chest and said, "What? are you going to tell me?"
"I can tell you!, but ββ!"
Jace smiled and negotiated, "You've got to find a way to get me out!"
"Why don't you tell Lem this?"
Jace swallowed his saliva and smiled flatteringly: "Who doesn't know, Wangcheng is now your world...... Duke Lem, he has no soldiers, how can he be your opponent?"
Horn ignored his words, yawned, and said lazily, "Four minutes." β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Jace was heartbroken, and said, "You have to help me leave the imperial capital, I will give you a part of the list first, and after I make sure that I am safe, I will give you the rest of the list!"
"How do I know if the list is real or fake?"
Jace patted his chest and promised, "You can look it up, and it will definitely find out the problem!"
The dimly lit environment is oppressive, but drowsy.
It was the middle of the night, and Horn was sleepy, and she said, "You can tell me the first part of the list first, I'll listen." β
Jace hesitated, "Are you sure you're going to help me?" If you don't help me, I'll expose them and they'll kill me!"
"Two minutes. β
In order to survive, Jace directly broke the jar and broke it, and said a string of names.
He glanced at Horn's face and said cautiously, "Your Highness...... I've finished the previous part, are you ......"
"I think tonight is good, can you arrange it now?"
But Horn said, "I'm done, I didn't even hear it!"
Jace's eyes widened, and he was about to attack: "You ββ!"
"One minute!"
"......" Jace repeated again, helplessly.
The words were the same twice, and Horn stretched and yawned again after making sure he wasn't babbling gibberish.
"Ha ......"
"I'm sleepy, Jace, why don't you rest too?"
Seeing that she was leaving, Jace was in a hurry, so he grabbed her hand directly and said, "Your Highness, you can't leave me alone! You, as the royal family of Sikaya, how can you not keep your promises?!"
Jace touched Horn's right ear during the tug, and Horn almost ascended to heaven on the spot!
Pain!
The extreme pain aroused Horn's violent emotions, and without thinking about it, she directly pulled out the barbed dagger, and slashed Jace's neck with her hand.
Jace clutched his neck and stared at her resentfully, blood gushing from his fingers, "Horn...... You don't want to die!"
"You're not keeping your word! You're disgraced to the Sikaya royal family!"
"You ......"
The words stopped abruptly, and Jace fell straight down.
Horn coldly put away his dagger.
She didn't want to do it.
As long as Jace lives, there will definitely be people who want his life. Thus a succession of fish can be drawn.
But just ...... She just couldn't hold back.
Never mind.
She doesn't care about the so-called "list" in his mouth.
A person who betrays his family and country, how many words of truth can he spit out of his mouth?
Modern trained people can resist polygraphs, and in ancient times, it was not difficult to say the words twice.
She'll clean it up slowly......
"A prisoner of the rank dares to make conditions to me......"
Horn lifted her skirt and strode out of the prison.
Back at the palace, it was the middle of the night, and Horn was so tired that he fell asleep.
γDing ββ! used successfully!Silver Blossom-1!Inventory changes, please check in time!γ
In the middle of the night, the moment Horn lay down, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.
Horn sat up instantly.
There was no wind or moon outside, and in the dark palace, a pair of green eyes were faintly shining.
Just now.
Her dear second brother died......
"Hahahaha!"
"Well done, Austinββ!"
"I really didn't misread you!"
"Hahahahaha......!"
......
γDing ββ! succeeded in instigating for the first time!Get the reward: Apocalypse of Destiny (Elementary)!γ
Three dark blue cards appeared, and Horn chose one with great joy, and the remaining two disappeared in an instant.
γDingββ! Open the Door of Destiny's Apocalypse and Get Reward: Hemostatic HerbsΓ5!Inventory changes, please check in time!γ
Horn threw the pile of grass into the system space.
7 appeared silently as she chose her cards, and stood quietly aside.
"Your brainwashing is good, that kid can really do it. β
Last time, she held Austin's hand and forced him to kill Robert, but this time, no one forced him......
Therefore, the system directly determined that it was Austin's spontaneous behavior, and the reward was awarded.
Horn said, "7, do you believe the term 'born'?"
"Tell me about it. β
Horn paced in the dark, sweeping away the sleepiness she had just had, and she looked very comfortable.
"Some people are born with mediocre qualifications and are embarrassed to be useful, while some people are born with great talents. β
"He's a born Assassin...... Hahaha......"
"From the moment I first met him, I knew that he didn't disappoint me! Austin ββ! such a beautiful viper!"
7 stopped her: "Aren't you afraid that he will kill you one day?"
Horn looked back, and in the darkness of the night, her eyesight was not very good, and she could only see the pale mask that had not changed for 70,000 years.
"Don't be afraid. β
"Why?"
Horn said emotionlessly, "Trust me...... I'll send him to hell before he does it. β
7 sighed, "It's really sad." β
Horn scoffed, "7, you don't understand. β
7 said lightly: "I have lived much longer than you, and you actually said such things as 'I don't understand', I really don't like the way you look at no one." β
Horn walked up to him and reached out to touch 7's smiling mask.
7 did not dodge......
But Horn knew that as long as she made any out-of-the-ordinary moves, 7 would definitely not give her a chance.
So she just touched the corners of her smiling lips with her fingertips, as if caressing her lover's cheek.
"You don't like it? What am I going to do...... Do you like it?"
7 stood still, motionless, with a black robe and mask covering everything.
He said lightly: "If you act against your will, it's better to do less in the future." β
Horn said, "Can I hug you?ββ just hug you." β
7 suddenly froze.
- "No, you can't. β
Horn ignored his words and wrapped his arms around Seven's waist - in fact, hugging the black robe.
The black robe was so wide that it didn't reach the waist.
"Hmm, no, why don't you hide?"
7 said lightly: "You are too fast. β
Horn has been living the life of an injured and sick man lately, eating well and being much more agile than before.
"Can you hold it tighter?"
β...... No. β
Horn hugged a little tighter, feeling his waist.
People are very thin.
7 warned: "You'd better let go. β
Horn said disobediently, "Take off the black robe...... Don't look at your face, right?"
7 Couldn't bear it anymore and broke free from her.
"Sleep, you have everything in your dreams. β
οΌοΌοΌ
Hum......!
Horn pursed her lips, and she felt 7's tone of great disdain.
She spoke again: "Then just hold the one just now, and you come back." β
7 Five meters away from her, keeping a safe distance: "You sleep." β
Horn said shamelessly, "I don't ...... How lonely you are when I sleep with me, the system space is dark, you don't like it during the day, and I have to spend a while with you at night. β
7 exposed her and said: "I am with you, not you with me." β
Please be clear.
Seeing that he was delayed, Horn turned around and sat on the bed, and after a while, she was a little sleepy, and she yawned again and said, "7, you were just provoking me to ...... with Austin"
7 said lightly: "No, I'm just stating a reality that is extremely likely to happen in the future. β
Horn curled the corners of his lips: "Then shall we make a bet?"
7 asked, "What bet?"
Horn lay down on his side, his eyelids a little heavy: "Just bet...... Austin wouldn't want to kill me. There won't be that day. β
"Are you so confident?"
Horn tried to roll over, but the pain in her right ear warned her to lie down to the left.
So she turned her back to 7 and said, "I'm not confident in him, I just believe in myself." β
"What about the bets?"
Horn saw that 7 actually took her stubble, so he thought about it seriously, and said after a while: "If I win, no matter what I do, you are not allowed to hide." β
Horn's face suddenly became a little hot, how did he feel like a pervert when he said this......
7 thought about it for a while, and actually nodded.
He said, "And what if you lose?"
"Be fair...... Leave it at your disposal. β
7What can you do with her?, Horn thought unapprehensively.
"The bet is made. β
7 dodged and moved, a little above Horn's forehead, with his fingers as the center, and a circle of ripples rippled around.
Horn only felt a hot eyebrow, and he ...... Something seems to have been generated.
