Chapter Eighty-Nine: I'm Sorry, Please Die
It wasn't just the swordsmen who came into the cell every day, but even Lancelot had to come twice a day to inspect the special shackles that bound Asa's hands and feet, as well as any abnormalities that occurred in the cell.
Asa had to admire Lancelot. As the knight with the highest status on the continent and almost the spokesman of justice, he was also very familiar with all kinds of petty theft techniques like thieves, and all of Asa's intentions were easily seen by him. And the food that was delivered every day was only a bowl of gruel, which the swordsman brought to Asa's mouth and drank it all, and after three days Asa had no more strength.
However, it wasn't until the thirteenth day that Asa really realized that he couldn't escape on his own.
He had tried all the methods in those thirteen days, and the last time he even managed to quietly break his bones and slowly break them out of his chains. For what little physical strength he had left, it was undoubtedly Ying's long and painful work, and it was not yet noticeable. It took him half a day to fracture his ribs and a small part of his ribs without injuring his internal organs and major arteries, and he had to try to maintain his appearance without revealing any flaws.
But Lancelot walked in and looked at him only once, and said lightly, "I used that method when I was fifteen years old." You are covered in cold sweat with the wind, and you can't hide it. ”
"Fifteen years old......," Asa smiled bitterly, he kept his head down and pretended to be unconscious, just not wanting people to notice his cold sweat. "It turns out that you are really better than me, I can endure the pain, but I can't help sweating. ”
"I couldn't help it, but I was skinned in half and covered in blood, so no one noticed. ”
Lancelot stepped up to help Asa's skeleton slowly put back into place, using healing magic. "I'll tell you. It's not a good idea. Even if you can get out, it is impossible to fully recover from your injuries and physical strength, and the rest is almost just a matter of being caught. ”
"May I ask you how you managed to escape?"
"In the end, I escaped from the land by relying on my companions to save me, but he died......"
"Do you mean I'm just waiting for my companions to come to my rescue?" Asa's eyes jumped.
Lancelot caught this expression, shook his head and said lightly, "Even if you have companions, you will never be able to escape." This is the Castle of Radiance, and His Majesty Magnus's consciousness can cover the entire castle with the help of the King's Ring, and it is impossible for even the highest master to sneak in. If it's the same attack, it's just death. Even a necromancer can't be an opponent of the entire Radiant Castle. His Majesty Magnus actually hopes that someone will come to your rescue. It was a good opportunity to eradicate those dangerous people. ”
Asa did not answer. That's what worries him the most. If he had been caught, would someone really come to save him? Sandru Granny El? Unfortunately, whoever it is, it will be the whole Castle of Radiance. He had seen with his own eyes the power of the ring in the hands of the Pope.
That's not a force that one person can fight against.
"Don't be so frustrated, your death can save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is very valuable. ”
Asa sneered: "I should be happy according to your words, but unfortunately I don't have such great sentiments, nor do I have the same great sense of justice as you." If you're the one tied to this, you'll be happy. ”
"No, no one wants to die as long as they are human, no matter how great the reason is, it's instinct. However, there is always something that is not higher than instinct. So something has to be abandoned. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm really not that noble. ”
"Then I might as well try to think as I say, and think that your death will indeed keep many people alive and make you better. Sometimes, the sublime is a good analgesic. Lancelot smiled slightly, this smile was deep.
"Thank you for your concern. I don't have that habit, but I still want to thank you, I know you've made me feel better. If it weren't for you, I would have been a human stick without hands and feet right now. ”
"I just promised Talis a little thing. Lancelot gave Asa a deep look and sighed softly. "I know you're not a bad person, but I can't help it. I don't have any noble sentiments, but in my opinion, I think the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are much more important than yours. ”
"So I'm sorry, please die. Don't worry, the injustice has been waiting too long, and His Majesty said that the power of the ring of the royal capital is about to be restored. There may not be many opportunities for us to meet in the future. ”
Lancelot walked out of his cell. The steel gates were as wide as the gates of the city, and the gates slammed shut. It was dark again in the cell.
"Bastard...... Do I really want to die? I don't want to die...... Mother-in-law, don't come here......" Asa's voice echoed alone in the darkness.
Ofu, Cedros is now at his desk looking at several reports. The brow is furrowed.
Celeste did not take any action against Ofu, but instead concentrated all his forces in the southern desert, and in one fell swoop conquered the nomadic herders who had occupied that area for a long time. This seemed to be good news for Oufu, but Cedelus was not happy.
What Oufu needs most now is time, and Celeste's performance is not just giving Oufu time, it is almost letting it develop. Everything is going well on the Sandface side, the Tower of Tooth's attitude is clear, and the preparations for war are getting stronger, and almost every day Ofu is stronger than before.
Magnus couldn't seem to do such a stupid thing in any way. The only possibility is that he doesn't care how Oufu can develop anymore, and he already has a trump card in his hand that can turn all the tides around.
It's not very clear what kind of trump card Cedrus is, since the earth-shattering battle between the archangel and the fire phoenix in the Radiant Castle, Cedros has lost almost all the spies that have been placed in the religious state. At that time, it was not only the Pope and the illusionary archangel who triumphed, but also the cohesion and cohesion of the entire Church in the hearts of the people. As long as it is not extremely vicious, and people who still have a little faith in their hearts are all convinced by the real angel image, the original ethereal and pervasive concept suddenly becomes a living existence, and no one dares to doubt whether there is really a god in this world.
It took a lot of effort for Cedrus to gather some vague information, and with a little thought about it with his reasoning skills, he could roughly understand what was going on.
"Does that kid's arrest have anything to do with Magnus's weird behavior now?" said Cedros frowned, knocking on the table and muttering to himself. "Do you want to get him out... At least find a way to ask ......."
