Alan sat on an old elm chair, holding his cheeks, and quietly watched the dying man on the torture rack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guy's ear-length hair was sticky with blood, and he was almost dead, but he still had a breath or two left. His whole body was covered with whip marks, his nails had been pulled out, and deep and shallow burns were visible under his charred undershirt, and he groaned before a basin of cold, biting water splashed on his head.

"Not yet..... Hell-hearted, Lord Allen?"

Alan let go of his hand and sighed meaningfully. "Plus five hundred gold coins. He promised, "If you wish, I will make the king of Assyria accept you as a member of the Iron Forest, which is the dream of all knights." He slowly stood up and walked over to the man, "You are alone in Nipur, you have gone to Assyria, no one will remember what you used to do, and you will still be a good knight there!"

"Only..... Only the dead can keep it..... Secret. ”

"Namu and Dalton Wolf Stripe testify. Alan put his hand to his chest and said in a heavy tone, "I swear to you on behalf of Lord Kenny, as long as you admit that you are a man sent by Wilson, you can stay in Nippur, and I will let the best physician in Morwin Castle help you change your appearance, and you will become the mayor of a small town, or a baron with a fertile fief!

The man with the short, stiff golden beard looked up, his whip-scarred mouth baring his bloodstained teeth and letting out a twisted laugh.

"You think that's the end of it?" Alan returned to his chair and sat down, "Knight, here, what you're experiencing has just begun!" He paused, waited for the man's laughter to end, and then opened his mouth again, "If you refuse, I'll also get the best doctor in Morwinburg to help you bandage your wounds, and we'll continue when they're healed." ”

"Can't wait, Alan..... My lord. ”

"Really?" Alan scratched his nose, "Do you know how your companion died?" he smiled playfully, "I was humiliated and killed myself." Do you know how many humiliations in this world are more terrible than death?" he raised his eyebrows and held out his index finger, "Soon you will know and regret your choice for the rest of your life!"

"I'm far away..... The god Namu of Shenyuan swears. Uphold..... Honor, be kind to the weak, and be ..... Resist the might, use the hands to ..... The sword sweeps away all injustice, and we will always be heroic, humble, and glorious..... Soul, fight for unarmed merchants....."

Meanwhile, in front of the gates of Morwinburg, Kenny is speechless with anger.

He looked at the towering heads of the people at the bottom of the steps, and the seemingly upright nobles of the Chamber of Commerce on the side. Among them, the little man wearing the coat of arms of Lao Yan put his hands behind his back, with a humble and hypocritical expression, and looked at himself in a daze.

"Before that, Lord Kenny and I had been attacked several times!" Sersi walked to the side of the steps and shouted at the crowd, "It took us nearly half a month to catch the attackers, and the person who commanded them was Barton's lackey, his old butler Wilson!

"Dear Captain Sercy!" an older old man standing in the front row opened his mouth, "Yesterday I happened to pass by the execution ground and witnessed your attack on the knights of the Chamber of Commerce, if Lord Kenny didn't know their swords, you have served Barton for so many years, don't you know either?!"

"But I didn't take part in that raid yesterday!" Selsi spread his hands, "I'm wounded!" he pointed to the bandage on his chest, "I arrived at the execution ground after the attack began, and when I arrived, it was already a mess! I haven't even seen the knights grow a beard!"

"Then you mean that you and Lord Kenny have recognized this mistake and admitted to indirectly killing the Chamber of Commerce knights with a harsh interrogation?!" shouted another young man standing in the front row.

"My lord, why are you silent?" said Sade, who was standing on the steps, straightened up, "We don't have any other intentions, we just want you to give a reasonable explanation. He half-raised his hands, palms outward, "We didn't have a single soldier with us, not even a sword." ”

"My lord, why did you gather the Oxhorn Legion?!" another young nobleman stepped forward and asked, pointing to the thousands of soldiers at the back of the square, "You want to seal off all of our population with a spear?"

"They're the Alliance!" Sersi snapped, "Don't speak to the lord like that!, be careful I pull out your tongue!!"

"In front of tens of thousands of city citizens?!" the young nobleman responded quickly, and then smiled disdainfully, "Are you going to pull out the tongues of everyone here?"

"Damn!" Exalci exclaimed. He was just about to take a step when Aiden, who was standing behind Kenny, stopped in his way.

"Dear Lord Kenny. An old man with a white beard bowed down and spoke softly, "I am the oldest fishmonger among the members of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce has been established for nearly a hundred years, no matter how turbulent the situation in Nipur is, the Chamber of Commerce still maintains the economy of Nipur, those knights who are loyal to the Chamber of Commerce are the protectors of the Chamber of Commerce, they never oppress women and children, and they never ask us for any fees, only a small and pitiful membership fee." ”

"Yes, my lord. Another, slightly younger merchant bowed, "They are indeed the heroes of the Chamber of Commerce, and we want you to give the innocent dead an explanation that at least sounds plausible." ”

"They are indeed Wilson's men, and someone has blindfolded you. Kenny reluctantly explained.

"Where's the proof?" the young merchant straightened up, "for example, if you find something on their corpses in front of everyone that proves their allegiance to Wilson, or simply bring them back to life and confess their allegiance to Wilson yourself!"

"Why don't I kill you first, and then bring you back to life?!" Sersi yelled at the young merchant, "You're arguing with reason!!"

"If you can't .....," Sade raised his voice, "we can't accept a lord who uses such despicable means to force a loyal knight to death!"

"You want to rebel?!" Selsi yelled, "Come on, little guy with no hair!" he patted his bandaged chest, "Try it! See how I tear your heads apart!"

"Shut up!!" Kenny snapped.

"Lord, we want a reasonable explanation!" a gruff voice appeared in the crowd.

Immediately afterward, the sound of questioning came overwhelmingly, and hundreds of guards surrounded them, and the cold spear tips were aimed at the crowd that was about to move, and also surrounded the dozens of chamber of commerce members standing on the steps.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the men in the front row threw themselves at the wall of men drawn by the Guards, and the roar of confusion and all the spearheads were pointed at Kenny almost instantaneously.

At the foot of the stairs, countless citizens and guards tore and scuffled together, and the voices of questioning gradually turned into angry curses and painful wails.

For a while, the stone steps were stained red with blood, and more and more citizens frantically crowded towards Morwin Castle. (To be continued.) )
