Outside the side hall, there was the crisp sound of a snakeskin whip whipping on the flesh, and each whip was accompanied by a scream, and the desolate wail came into the quiet side hall, which looked particularly terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kenny reclined back in his chair, his mind blank. Selci on the side looked relaxed, and every scream made him feel more relieved, and he took a sip of wine, mixed with the touching wail, and swallowed it in his stomach.

"Lord?" Selcy asked, smacking his lips, "how can you tell he's a liar?"

Kenny came back to his senses and glanced at Sercy. "Even you can see it, can't I see it?"

"Me?" Sersi blinked, pouring himself another glass of wine, "I found out he was a liar because of that question you asked, and I didn't know it before." ”

"Oh. Kenny answered. "Strange ....." he suddenly raised his head and looked at Sersi with a puzzled face, "How do you know that I didn't give the vault key to Alan?"

The glass that Sersi had moved to his lips stopped in midair, his brain racing. "Uh....." he hesitated, "because..... That..... You made Alan Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I wondered how much gold Barton had hidden in the vault, so I followed Alan to the vault to take an inventory. He put down his glass and quickly diverted the subject, "Lord, how the hell did you tell that guy was a liar?"

Kenny smiled, "I've seen this little trick when I was in Karta City. ”

"Lord!" Aiden walked in from outside the side hall, "That guy has already passed out twice, and I guess he won't be able to hold it anymore!"

"How many?" Kenny asked, turning his head.

"Thirty-seven. ”

"Wake him up and drag him in. Kenny waved the back of his hand.

The young wizard was drenched, dragged into the side hall like a skeleton that had lost its bones, his white robe soaked with red whip marks, and his mouth kept letting out a small wail.

Two guards threw him to the ground, the young man holding his hands on the cold bluestone foundation, he tried to look up, but only caught a glimpse of the backs of a pair of silver boots.

The sound of a chair dragging reached his ears, followed by the sound of hurried steps. Suddenly, a foot stepped on his thin back, and the wound tore again, causing him to let out an even more painful wail.

"Damn liar, what does the snakeskin whip smell like?" asked Sersi in a playful tone, stepping on the young wizard.

"Young man, I assure you in the name of your lord that the punishment in the prison of Nipur is far more painful than this, and you better tell me honestly, who is it that instructed you to come here to deceive?" Kenny asked, tilting his head.

Ken..... Lord Kenny, you ..... Don't you want to save Lord Allen?" the young wizard whispered.

"Uh-"

Sersi increased the strength of his feet, causing the young man to let out an even more miserable wail.

"No, no, Lord Lord..... No one instructed me..... I'm just a fascination with money, really, not a lie..... I swear to the god Namu. The young wizard pleaded.

"Say!, what's the matter?" asked Sersi impatiently, stepping on the young man.

"I'm a ventriloquist with a skill passed down from my ancestors, but I just happened to come across the bounty notice, and I wanted to cheat some bounties out of the turbulent Nipur..... I have not been instructed by anyone! Everything is true, and there is no lie!" replied with the young man's face pressed against the cold bluestone floor, sobbing.

"No one?" Kenny sneered, "So how do you know about my relationship with him? Don't tell me, you guessed it!"

"I saw the wolf pattern on his chest and his cloak, which was the same as your sword, so I guessed that I had been deceived!" replied the young man truthfully.

"Be a clever fellow!" Kenny looked at the young man angrily, "Aiden, drag him out for me, make up the remaining thirteen lashes, and throw them in prison and keep them under strict guard!"

"No! No, Lord Lord—"

The shouts of the young people gradually disappeared outside the main hall, and the silence in the side hall returned.

Kenny cupped his jaw and his eyes closed, his mind full of Alan's gray eyes and the weak murmur of his dying voice.

The companion fell into his arms, shouting for his father with the last of his strength, he had not found the enemy who killed his father, he was not breathing, if Eugene's words were just for self-preservation, there was no spirit summoning art in this world, then what should Eren do?

Half an hour later, Kenny suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to knock over all the cold dinner on the table, and then, leaning heavily on the back of his chair, staring fiercely at the cold corpse of Alan on the table, shivering uncontrollably.

After the defeat, he first let his cavalry commander stop the enemy, then he lost his wife, and after many hardships to come to this new continent, but he lost his most trusted companion, and now, he has lost a brother who is inextricably linked to him, and he feels like a complete disaster at the moment, he regrets it and is annoyed, but he can't do anything about it.

He was ashamed of this and took all the blame on himself, and he confessed to Namu in his heart, but received no response. The anger that had just sprung up over the fake wizard completely collapsed at this moment, replaced by grief, remorse, self-blame, and endless chagrin in his heart, which made him feel like a crush in his throat, and he was desperate to find someone to talk to, and he needed to vent it all, but apart from his own own soldiers, only Sersi was left.

He trusted Sersi, but he wasn't a proper listener, and in the past, he might have confided in his own soldiers, but the person standing behind him wasn't Marven.

The sound of metal rubbing against the table sounded in his ears, and Kenny looked up, a full glass of wine pushed in front of him, and he looked up at Sersi in the firelight.

"Lord, drink it. ”

Kenny hesitated for a second or two, then took a sip from his glass. Sercy picked up the flask on the table and poured another glass, and Kenny drank it again.

Five glasses of wine in a row left Kenny's mind blank, as if everything choked in his throat had washed away, and he felt much more relaxed.

"Thank you. Kenny reached out and patted Sersi on the arm.

"Lord, have a good night's rest, I'm here with Alan, Nipur has just experienced a coup d'état, and your bounty has just been posted, we must give those wizards some time. Although, I admit that I don't like those guys very much, but there will always be people who will do this, and believe me, maybe tomorrow when the sun rises, there will be a lot of people to help us, after all, a reward of a thousand gold coins can mean half a lifetime of food and clothing. Sersi said with a smile.

"Thank you. Kenny stood up and smiled at Sercy. (To be continued.) )
