"Is it Wilson?!" Kenny asked sharply. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Perhaps!" the knight with his short, stiff golden beard craned his neck, "Kenny Dalton, stop asking these pointless questions!" he spat to the side, "Your fists are so soft, like the you served me last night!"

"Really?" Kenny smiled, punching the knight in front of him twice in the stomach and face.

A tooth flew out, smashed against the cold edge of the prison, and finally fell into a pile of dry grass.

The golden-bearded knight drooped his head, his ears soaked in blood and sweat, and he muttered in a near-inaudible voice, as if in prayer.

Until the end, he didn't lift the wet head again.

Kenny sighed, turned back to pick up his glass, and sat down in a spacious elm chair.

"Is that guy awake?" he swallowed a large gulp of wine and looked up at Aiden.

"Still sleeping, the guard of the main hall said that he didn't sleep all night last night. Aiden bowed and replied softly.

"Damn! he's supposed to do the dirty work!" Kenny grumbled, hammering his shoulder.

There was a loud noise from the old wooden door of the torture chamber, and the two remaining knights were dragged in. One of them had an exaggerated hooked nose and missing front teeth, another with a handful of black beards, both with blue eyes and an equal number of pimples on their chins, and they were tied to torture racks by prison guards, staring angrily at the man sitting crookedly on the elm chair.

"Did we provoke you, Master Kenny!" Blackbeard yelled as he tried to break free from the iron ropes that trapped his hands.

"Provocate?" Kenny stood up, "It's a ridiculous word, it's funny!"

"Really?" Blackbeard stopped struggling, "it's my pleasure to be amused by the great lord that everyone sings about!" he put his feet together and lifted his chin, "Now, I beg you to tell me what is wrong, why you are attacking us for no reason, why you are putting us in prison! Locked up with those damn bed bugs! I want a reasonable explanation!"

"Damn!" Kenny roared, giving him the most plausible explanation with his fist.

"You seem to be calm?" Kenny shook his hand and turned to look at the Hooknose Knight, who was expressionless.

"What did you say?" Hooknose's voice was deep and deep, "No, my lord, I suppose, it was a blank expression. ”

"Dazed?" Kenny turned, "What this expression means is that you can't understand why I arrested you for no reason, so you want a reasonable explanation too, do you?"

"You can beat me up without a reasonable explanation. Hooknose said, straightening up.

"You can avoid the pain of flesh and skin, smart man!" Kenny smiled, "Tell me, who are you loyal to, why did you show up at the execution ground, and why did you swear to resist after the confrontation?"

"We haven't seen a witch before, so let's go there together to open our eyes!" Hooknose said with a smile, "I was standing in the last row, and the execution had just begun, someone attacked us, and when I found out that the attacker was your man, I didn't resist and chose to surrender!"

"Really, you're a knight of honor!" Kenny mocked in a strange voice.

"I'm a native of Nippur, born and raised, and you're the lord here, I don't know what we've done wrong, but I'm sure you'll be justice!" said Hook Nose stiffened his neck and said righteously.

"Leave these rhetoric to the girls in the brothel!" Kenny said, "Listen! Answer my question head-on, to whom do you owe allegiance?!"

"As you say, I'm a mercenary knight with honor. Hooknose pursed his lips, "You should know the rules here, a mercenary knight will never reveal the identity of his employer to anyone, otherwise, his end will be very tragic." ”

"What if I let you face a worse end than death?"

"It depends on what I'm up against. Hooknose smiled.

Blackbeard looked up, as if he was about to refute something, but instead let out a long series of laughs.

"What? You think your fist was too soft?" Kenny took a step back and clapped his hands.

Outside the torture chamber walked two large men with tigers on their backs, their shirtless bodies, their well-developed body hair making them look like two apes, and their thick arms were as strong as the hind hooves of yaks.

They walked up to the two knights, each took out a vial of red potion from the pocket of his breeches, and glared at the two lambs to the slaughter with playful eyes.

"Both, this is the last time I ask you questions, in the name of Lord Nippur. Kenny pinched his beard and said in a relaxed tone, "Who are you loyal to?"

"Hey, damn Kenny Dalton, I'm going to denounce you to the whole of Sumer!!" Blackbeard yelled at the top of his voice, "Potion torture is against God's will! Not even Barton has done such a thing!You're blackening Nippel!!"

"No, no, you misunderstood!" Kenny clapped his hands, "that good stuff isn't for you!"

The two burly men uncorked the bottle and swallowed the red elixir into their stomachs without hesitation.

"You, what do you want to do?!" Hook swallowed. The reckless and strong man in front of him stared at him numbly, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Have you figured it out?" Kenny twisted his aching shoulders and walked around the two knights, "You're luckier than most, bad things happen every day, and no one can predict what will happen in a second. He patted Blackbeard on the shoulder, "But you can foresee it and have the power to prevent it from happening, think about it, I'll give you one more minute at the end!"

"We really just went to see the execution, and then we met your attack!" Blackbeard roared in a shrill voice.

"You know! that's not the answer I'm looking for!" Kenny said very quickly, "Don't waste your precious time!

"Listen! Kenny! You can't do this! If this gets the word out, the mercenary knights of the entire continent of Sumer will be against you! you're destroying Nippur!" shouted Hooknose with a shake of his head.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let this get out, there's still thirty seconds. ”

"Captain told us to watch the execution!" Blackbeard finally relented.

"Go on!" Kenny tugged at his collar, "what else did he want you to do?!"

"Only surveillance! I swear! And then he was shot through the head by your own soldier!!" Blackbeard foamed.

"Wilson didn't let you rescue those two witches?!" Kenny snarled at Blackbeard, almost madly, "Tell me! Is your employer Wilson!!"

"Only the captain knows!, but he's dead!!" Blackbeard replied to Kenny with the same growl.

Kenny loosened his shirt, patted Blackbeard's face, and turned out of the torture chamber.

The old wooden door made two strange noises in quick succession, and Aiden followed him out of the torture chamber.

When the wooden door slowly closed, only the frightened knight and the strong man who were slowly removing their breeches were left in the dimly lit torture chamber. (To be continued.) )
