It's too troublesome, it's better to grab a handful of snow and swallow it directly, it's much more convenient. Thomson saw that my cooking of water was a bit cumbersome, and although his hands were doing the same, he was a little impatient and complained a little.

"Don't you know that eating snow can suffocate you?" Locke was also savoring the water in the pot, a delicacy that was usually not worth mentioning in all kinds of harsh environments.

"Oh—" Thomson couldn't answer, so he lowered his head and fiddled with the kettle in his hand, taking a few sips from time to time.

"It's not a long-term solution, and our dry food lasts up to three days. Although the water is inexhaustible, just drinking water is not the way to go, and staying in this conspicuous cave will be discovered sooner or later, and we will have to find a way out of this blizzard. Bob grabbed the kettle and sighed as he watched the cold wind howl outside the cave. I noticed that the red nose's eyes twitched slightly.

"Nothing. They can't find it, and they can't catch up with this kind of weather. Red Nose rubbed his nose, took out the bread from the dry food bag, took two bites, and then chewed with a pained expression, presumably because the bread was hard to swallow. Forget it, just let it be, now we can't do anything. I kissed Erin, who was asleep on my lap, and said lightly.

......

"Quick, you have to find them for me today!" a hoarse voice sounded in the wind, waking me and Erin from our sleep.

"Uh, what's going on. Erin rubbed her eyes and tried to stand up, but her legs were not good, and as soon as she stood up, she fell and sat down.

"You have to rest well, let's go out and have a look. I grabbed my sword and glanced around the cave to catch a glimpse of the red nose that was snoring, and he rolled over and continued to snore.

"There's someone out there!" I shook Bob and Thomson awake and pulled them out of the cave while they were still dreaming.

"Who's—who's out there?" Thomson roared, and I quickly pressed him to the ground and put my index finger to my lips to signal them to be silent.

"Come with me. When the group heard the sound, they immediately chased after them, and the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

"It's all your fault! if it's Harlaus's man, we're dead!" Bob was awakened by Thomson's yell, and immediately realized what had happened, and slapped Thomson in the face. Thomson was still holding his swollen cheeks and staring at Bob stupidly, and Bob and I stomped our feet in a hurry.

Anyway, now we have to go, and we can slip away under their noses while the weather happens. Locke didn't know when he grabbed a sword and ran out, panting.

"Let's go. The footsteps got closer, and Bob and I picked up Thomson and ran to the cave where we were hiding.

After a bit of running we reached the cave, and I suddenly noticed that Rednose and Erin were gone, and a sense of foreboding came over me.

"What's going on?" the four of us searched, but there was still no sign of Erin and Rednose.

Just when I was anxious, the hoarse voice sounded again: "No need to look for it!"

"Who!" I turned my head, and a tall, familiar thin figure appeared in front of me, followed by a number of knights in heavy armor.

"William, why are you here, Erin?" the consternation in my heart almost drove away the worry about Erin's whereabouts.

"Haha, do you mean this woman?" As soon as William's words fell, a delicate woman was pushed out of the crowd, it was none other than the missing Irene.

"Who took her away?" I hurriedly questioned William, only to hear him laugh eerily twice, and I saw that Red Nose was standing behind him.

"Is that you?!" Locke was also stunned, and Erin turned her head to look at the red nose and shook her head with a wry smile.

"Why did you take Erin?" I yelled angrily.

Why?" Red Nose looked at me with contempt, "For Lord Gonde!"

"Gangde?" I was puzzled.

"I was an orphan when I was a child, my parents died, and no one looked at me. Every morning, I go out to beg and return to my home with empty bowls and scars all over my body in the evening... No, that house isn't home at all... I don't even have a home, do you know what it's like?" Red Nose stretched out his hands and said viciously, "But Lord Gangde saw that I was very strong, and put me in the barracks, and I was able to rise step by step, without worrying about food or drink! This is all a gift from Lord Gangde, do you know?"

"You believe that old fritter!" Bob was furious, "you're just a pawn of his!"

Rednose ignored him and continued: "Lord Gangde called me over one day and sent me to your place as an undercover agent, and I disguised myself as a cowardly soldier and infiltrated the barracks, always observing your movements. One day you and that fellow—" he pointed angrily at Locke, "I knew there must be nothing good, so I wrote a letter to the Lord and told him to be careful. But I didn't expect..."Before he finished speaking, he smashed his fist into a tree, and the snow fell, and then a tear fell into the snow with snowflakes, and he actually had true feelings for this kind of person.

At this time, William, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, suddenly said coldly: "Enough talked, enough listened, we should negotiate." ”

"Negotiating, what is the verdict?" Thomson asked.

"Hostage swaps! A woman for Mr. Jaén Kalard and your life. William suddenly drew his sword and put it on Irene's neck, "Otherwise you'll all die!"

"You're a sinister fellow. ”

"Hehe, it's over. What about this agreement?" William laughed, but the sword in his hand did not tremble with laughter, and the blade still gently caressed Erin's throat.

The brothers all around me have their eyes on me, and now our lives are in my hands, or rather, on that disgusting fellow, to be exact.

"I promise!" I bowed my head and walked towards William with my hands raised.

I promise!" I bowed my head, raised my hands and walked towards death under the gaze of my brothers.

"Good. William slowly lowered his sword, "Send this woman back!"

"Yes!" a knight, who was clearly a fool of a soldier, escorted Erin back. On this short road, Erin's reluctant gaze kept sweeping to me.

"Let's go! King Harlaus will reward us well. "A greedy look instantly appeared in William's eyes, and I saw women, money, and money in these gray eyes... Then I spat out a mouthful of phlegm disdainfully.

"Let's go!" I glanced at Bob to make sure he understood, and then I followed the jubilant knights towards Sunvardin.

I promise!" I bowed my head, raised my hands, and walked towards death under the eyes of my brothers.

"Good. William slowly lowered his sword, "Send this woman back!"

"Yes!" a knight, who was clearly a fool of a soldier, escorted Erin back. On this short road, Erin's reluctant gaze kept sweeping to me.

"Let's go! King Harlaus will reward us well. "A greedy look instantly appeared in William's eyes, and I saw women, money, and money in these gray eyes... Then I spat out a mouthful of phlegm disdainfully.

"Let's go!" I glanced at Bob to make sure he understood, and then I followed the jubilant knights towards Sunvardin.

...... When I arrived in Zhivadin, I was tied to the cross of the dungeon. A few days later, I met Haraus, a man older than Gonde, with a gray beard and deep-set eyes, a cloudy gaze from the depths that made people feel that he was a kind old man, but the longer you stared, the more murderous it grew in his eyes, which made you shudder.

"You're Henry Callad's second son?" said Haraus, who was in his last years, walked over slowly, and lifted my drooping head with two thin fingers, but the first question that came out of his mouth was strange to me.

"I'm his son, yes. But I was the only son in the family. I bowed my head again after answering his question, I hadn't eaten in days, and I didn't have any strength in my body.

"Didn't your father tell you you had an older brother?" Harlaus walked back and fumbled his way down in a wooden chair, staring at me with those murderous eyes.

"I don't know. Although I was a little surprised to hear the news, it was still not enough to wake me up, "Even if there is, you will kill me." ”

"No, he's alive, living better than you. Haraus chuckled, "Tell Ryan Callad to come in." ”

One of the dungeon's guards agreed, leaving the place behind, leaving Haraus and me behind: "One Ryan, one Hahn, good name." ”

"Is he still alive?" I hurriedly asked as the guards left, even more surprised.

...... Want to know why?" laughed Harlaus.

"You say!" I didn't bother to guess.

"When you escaped... Ahem, your father didn't take your brother... You were very young and didn't know anything. Harlaus coughed twice.

"Why?"

"I don't know!" Harlaus shook his head and continued to stare at me, "A few days later, we found your 9-year-old brother in the ruins of the burned palace..."

"I was going to kill him. Haraus paused, then added, "But the hatred on his face made me curious, and I asked him what you were thinking, and he said, 'I'm going to kill my father!' Oh, how beautiful a heart for revenge was born in the flames." Harlaus took his glass and drank it slowly with a look of pleasure on his face, but then he choked and coughed twice, he was already old. You're using him!" I was immediately "in awe" of this old pervert

"Yes. Haraus took another sip of wine, and the wooden door opened, and the light shone so brightly that I couldn't open my eyes.

"Come in, my child. "It seems that my brother has become his puppet.

"Yes Father. "A man who looked almost like me walked in, and stood humbly beside Harlaus, like father and son.

"Come, meet your brother. Haraus laughed, and looked at his disgusting face and wanted to stomp it to pieces.

Did my father ask me to come here?" and I was disgusted by Ryan Calard's deferential, even servile demeanor towards his "father."

"Meet your brother. Haraus laughed, and I saw the man behind Ryan and William, half of his face hidden in the darkness of the dungeon.

"He's not my brother, I don't have a brother. Ryan leaned forward slightly, but still looked at me with a blank expression.

"He's not your father!he's just using you!" I yelled, hoping to wake up the "brother" in front of me, who was confusing right and wrong.

"Your father is not my father either!he has long since abandoned me!" Ryan Callad suddenly became angry, and slammed his fist on the stone wall of the dungeon, making a dull "tom", "Why did he take you away! I am his eldest son!Heir of the Kallad family!The love you have received belongs to me, you know, my dear brother!!"

I know that a person who is occupied by hatred can't listen to anything, because that's what I am.

After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, Harlaus waved his big hand, which was almost wrinkled, and said, "Wu'er, go back with me, you must have been extremely disappointed in your brother." ”

"You—" I watched helplessly as Ryan helped Haraus out of the dungeon and shook my head.

"Now it's just the two of us. When the door was closed, William stood up from a corner of the darkness, with a leather whip in his hand, and looked at me with a grin.

"Oh, what do you want to do?" I decided to play dumb though I knew what he was trying to do.

"Ha, don't pretend, you've brought me glory and wealth, I finally don't have to listen to the faces of those two guys, I have to thank you so much, hey!" William suddenly shook his hand and whipped me in the abdomen. The abdomen, which was already nothing, was whipped with a whip, and immediately throbbed with hot pain.

"Okay, right?" William seemed to be in a good mood, and he wanted to smoke non-stop.

"Okay! Who are those two guys?" I resisted the urge to spit into his eyes, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, it's Hansen, the White Shadow Knight, and Adelaide, the Captain of the Knight of Light, the Fat One! you won't forget, will you?" said William, holding the other end of the whip in his hand and behind his back.

I really didn't misread you, your demeanor, your eyes... Before I could finish speaking, William whipped again, and there was another scar on his stomach that had not had time to tighten, and I screamed in pain.

"Looks like it's fun, do you want to continue?" William brought his face to me, his face full of spring and disgusting.

"Come on, you ***!I'm afraid of you bitch, I won't be named Kalade!!!!" I scolded, spit a mouthful of bloody phlegm on his face, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"You!" William grabbed a towel and scrubbed it vigorously, but he didn't expect him to have a habit of cleanliness, "Come on! Beat him! Beat him to death!***!!"

"You're coming!*** of ***!" I was still scolding, because I knew that Haraus would not let me die like this, so I felt a little more confident in my heart, and my mouth was much harder.
