Chapter 35: Apostasy

Bang .......

In the long corridor, only the footsteps of Aaron and Viscount Steve kept echoing, and under the atmosphere that was too quiet, Aaron couldn't help but talk about the topic to relieve his boredom: "Speaking of which, Lord Viscount, you are really powerful enough to actually make such a big 'move' under your own castle."

Hearing this, Viscount Steve couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face, and said smugly: "Of course, in order to build this underground passage to the outside of the castle and connect it to various important locations in the castle, it took me five years of hard work to build it secretly. ”

"This place, except for me, only Angel knows about it, it belongs to the most confidential and important information in the castle, and even Luke and Willy don't know that there is such a secret passage under the castle. ”

When Viscount Steve said this, the expression on his face became a little lonely, obviously he thought that his cronie Willy was killed by a Carolance sneak attack, and even another cronie, Luke, betrayed him fiercely and finally died at his own hands.

However, Viscount Steve, who had been a battle-hardened man in the end, quickly put these useless emotions behind him, and also made Aaron's heart feel a slight chill - this Viscount Steve was, to some extent, indeed as Luke said, quite ruthless, and could sacrifice anything for himself.

Aaron walked in the flat and narrow passage, looking at the walls and ground made of blue ink stones around him, and couldn't help but sigh inexplicably: "However, Lord Viscount, speaking of which, this secret passage connecting important places inside the castle is vast and has a large amount of work, if it is to be built thoroughly, I am afraid it is far more than a task that can be completed by a few craftsmen, right?"

Hearing this, Viscount Steve was also silent for a while, but finally spoke: "The reason why this passage under the castle can be called a 'secret passage' is naturally because the number of people who know about it is very small. ”

"If too many people know about its existence, then the passage can't be called a 'secret' - sometimes, a secret is something that comes at a price, and I think it's worth it, at least it saves you and mine, doesn't it?"

Aaron nodded silently, not expressing any obvious disgust at this, for he was inherently indistinguishable from Viscount Steve - sacrificing some inconsequential people for his own sake was not a difficult choice to make.

Looking at the blue and inky stone walls, Aaron knew how many bones of craftsmen were buried behind these stone walls, which was probably enough to dye the entire passage blood-red.

But what does this have to do with yourself?

Because he and Steve were stepping on the passage made of their bones to the place of life outside the castle, he was not in a position to reprimand Steve's actions. What's more, if it weren't for Steve's precautionary move, he might not have been able to escape from the castle safely and successfully escape from the encirclement of enemy soldiers.

The kind of boring person who clearly enjoys the fruits of others, but still deliberately proclaims his sense of justice, is the real evil.

Yourself, as long as you can live, you can do it.

It seems that due to the dullness of the topic just now, the two of them have been walking forward with their heads buried in their heads, but as their physical strength gradually recovered, the two of them quickly increased their walking speed and regained a trace of their demeanor as full-fledged knights.

Soon, the two walked to the end of the passage, and Aaron couldn't help but joke at this time: "Fortunately, that Luke and Carolance rebelled earlier, otherwise it would be a little tricky for them to discover this passage." ”

Viscount Steve couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, it's good that those two fools defected outside, otherwise my plan would have really come to naught." Aaron, it's also a shame that you can see my plan in advance, I really didn't expect to have a talent like you under my command before.........."

As he spoke, Viscount Steve's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "I plan to go to the port of Ecovacs in the Finnish Empire and go back to join the Leo family where I originally belonged, and I will have to rely on you for the rest of the journey, Mr. Aaron." ”

"Of course, I've already made a 'choice' about this, haven't I?"

Aaron naturally nodded in agreement, he was originally with the idea of hugging the Viscount's thigh, and took this group of escapees, and now even Viscount Steve's name for Aaron has changed to 'sir', obviously Steve has recognized the reality of the situation, and regards Aaron as an equal existence with himself, rather than his former subordinate soldiers.

This is also a normal situation, if it is not a time of war, any official knight can be absolutely welcomed by the local lord, and if he swears allegiance to that lord, he will at least be a private guard commander, which can be described as the high-level power of the territory.

It is still rare to have three official knights in Viscount Steve's domain, of course, in fact, if you include official knights like Aaron and Carolance, who hide their strength, there should be a full five official knights - however, due to the rebellion and turmoil just now, only Aaron and Steve are left.

Hearing the implication in Aaron's words, Viscount Steve naturally laughed heartily and patted Aaron's shoulder very kindly.

Then the two of them walked out of the narrow passageway, and came to the empty room at the end, and there was an exit at the top of the room, through which the view could be seen.

The sky was obscured by tall and dense trees, and the green foliage turned black at night, and occasionally the moonlight fell through the gaps in the foliage, and it seemed that it was somewhere in the forest.

At this time, probably hearing movement below, a beautiful and delicate face stretched out from above the exit, it was Viscount Steve's only daughter, Angeli, and after she saw Aaron's figure, she suddenly sighed in confusion:

"Huh, why are you here?"

Angel recognized Aaron as the soldier who had disturbed her reading, but she did not expect that she would meet him again in this situation - such a soldier would have died in the castle in Angeli's eyes.

"Angeli, don't be rude to Mr. Aaron!"

Viscount Steve shouted a loud stop, smiled apologetically at Aaron, and then very sincerely motioned for Aaron to go up first, and he went up later, quite obviously showing his respect for Aaron.

In this regard, Aaron shrugged his shoulders indifferently, accepted Viscount Steve's sincerity, and immediately jumped directly, grabbed the edge of the exit with both hands, and lifted himself up with a forceful lift.

Although Steve was poisoned, he was also an official knight who stepped into the 'Peak Knight' with half a foot, and immediately jumped onto the edge of the exit and came to the outside smoothly.

At this time, Aaron discovered that it was a forest nearly a kilometer away on the north side of the castle, surrounded by seven carriages and several other fast horses for riding, some of which were obviously used to carry goods, and a large number of gold utensils could be faintly seen through the cracks in the carriage doors.

"It seems that this tyrannical Viscount Steve is really rich........."

Aaron couldn't help but complain secretly, but he immediately saw another familiar person-the tavern owner Jerry.
