Chapter 9: Sleepless Nights
Emperor did not leave with Awadi after taking him to safety, nor did he return to Lynn
Da's side, he wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the main castle of Pente City, after all
The scale of this rebellion was already not small, and the incident suddenly implicated so many nobles, the main castle
The guards should more or less have some troops to deal with this emergency. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the accident happened, when the emperor gate walked through the dark alleys and climbed the walls of the main fort, he
I was surprised to find that the defense of the main fort had not diminished in the slightest. Look at those patrolling back and forth
Soldier, the emperor knew that if he wanted to enter the main castle to find out the information, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky, and he wanted to retreat
He habitually looked towards a balcony.
"This big guy really likes this position." Emperor Men's heart silently thought, in him
As far as the eye could see, on that balcony, there was a middle-aged man in his forties with a sturdy figure at this time
The man's railing looks out into the distance. Although the man was wearing a loose dark nightgown, it was still difficult to stop
With his toned muscles, the Emperor Gate recognized this man, and he was the current Legion Commander Trist, and the Emperor Gate had been since
After accepting the commission, he had actually investigated the perimeter of the main castle several times, and every time he came
The Legion Commander could be seen from this balcony. Unfortunately, his mission was not to assassinate him
Legion Commander, otherwise, if he brings the Magic Hand Cannon now, it is estimated that this Legion Leader has already blossomed in his head
Finish.
Helplessly, the emperor returned directly from the main castle to his rented courtyard, and he was a little worried that Linda would be killed
The injuries of those slaves who did not have long eyes unconsciously accelerated the pace of returning home.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Back in the small building, Dimen gently pushed Linda's room open, looking at Linda's lovely sleeping face, he secretly thought to himself
Breathe a sigh of relief.
"Emperor? You're back? Just as the Emperor Gate wanted to close the door and leave, Linda woke up at this time
Here it comes.
She sat up slowly, picked up the white long-eared rabbit toy beside her, and rubbed it vigorously with her hands
The sleepy-eyed man pouted and looked at the emperor in confusion.
Seeing that Linda had woken up, Dimen naturally came to the bedside and sat beside her, giving her a little
After tiding his messy hair for a while, he said softly, "What's wrong?" Can't sleep? ", Emperor Gate
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, but he was about to get up but was grabbed by Linda.
"What are you doing tonight? Why does it smell so strong? Linda was originally returned
The residual drowsiness disappeared directly at this moment, and she nervously wanted to check if the emperor was injured, and
Emperor Gate just smiled and said that he had not been hurt in any way.
"Don't worry, I've just met some blind slaves on the road, and I can solve it
What's so difficult about those few wastes who can't even wield knives well? Dimen said that he wanted to touch Lin
Da's head, but looking at the blood stains in his hands, he dispelled this thought.
Linda seemed to see the emperor's concerns, and she hugged the emperor's door and wrapped her hands tightly around the emperor's gate
The waist, the little head gently leaned against the heart of the emperor. Dimen knew Linda's thoughts, he had been
The withdrawn hand stroked Linda's head again.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine, don't worry about me anymore, sleep obediently, okay?" Imperial Gate
Gently persuade.
"But I can't sleep." Linda said coquettishly.
"Then I'll tell you a story I saw tonight, and you'll go to bed when you're done?"
"That'...... All right. Linda compromised a little discouraged.
"Well, a lot of slaves have escaped tonight, and they are all in the streets and alleys of the East City
Many of the slaves who had been imprisoned were freed by those who fled in the first place. ”
"Really?"
"It's true, otherwise how could I have so much blood on me?"
"And then."
"Linda, do you remember what the orc slaves you once saw looked like?"
"Orc slaves? I don't remember much, but don't all orcs look the same? ”
"That's mainly because the orcs have too much body hair to make you think they're all about the same,
But it's not bad, anyway, it's the kind of tall body with bulging muscles and sharp teeth and claws. ”
"Well, an orc, and then?"
"The orc slave was protecting a skinny human slave all the way, and the two of them kept running
fled, but because of the orc's panic, the two ran the wrong way. ”
"Running the wrong way? Where did they go? ”
"They, they ran to Xicheng, and after killing a few guards, they were chased by the guards of Xicheng
After a long time, they finally escaped from the escort for a distance, and they fled into an ordinary small courtyard.
Emperor Gate said with a sudden pause.
"And then?" Linda asked in a somewhat dry voice.
"And then? Then they hid their swords in the water of the pond in the courtyard, and they themselves went to it
The hostess of the courtyard asked for refuge. ”
"After all, they are also victims, they just want to be free, and what they do is forced to do so
Yes. Linda explained, somewhat flustered.
"Really? Indeed, the beautiful and kind hostess thought so, and she let them stay
For a while, but the man who thought that he was going to come back would definitely not agree with his decision.,That.
The mistress prepared a coil full of gold coins for the two slaves, so that they could quickly escape from the western city.
”
"That hostess is so kind." Linda said embarrassedly.
"Yes, but good people often don't get anything in return."
"Maybe she doesn't ask for anything in return."
"Perhaps, but the two slaves didn't think so, they wanted to repay the beautiful and good
Good hostess. ”
"That proves they're not bad guys." Linda was relieved to hear this.
"Yes, but how do you repay it? They thought and thought and thought with their clever minds
I thought about it again and again, and finally I thought of it! ”
"Oh? What did they come up with? Linda was very interested at the moment and continued to listen to what the emperor said
。
"They thought of revenge!"
"Huh?" Linda was obviously stunned, she never expected that Dimen's answer would be like this.
"Haven't you heard that word Linda?"
"No, no, no, I heard that." Linda stammered a little.
"Well, then, they took advantage of the hostess's return to the room to the small pool
Prepare to retrieve the sword you left behind, and then ......"
"And then? And then what? Linda swallowed hard.
"And then when they are ready to repay the mistress with their swords......" said the emperor
The smile on his face suddenly retracted, and then he said with a solemn face, "I killed you!" ”
Linda didn't dare to speak after listening to the story of the emperor, but just looked at the emperor gate pitifully.
"Linda, do you know what I mean by this story?" Emperor Men Wu stood up to himself, Lin
Seeing this, Tatsu had no choice but to let go of his arms.
"No ......"
"I mean nosy!" Before Linda could finish speaking, the emperor was suddenly
Interrupting her loudly, "I remember I warned you, stay away from those slaves, it seems that you
They didn't take my words to heart at all. ”
"I ......," Linda explained in an inaudible voice.
"Don't explain, I know what you're trying to say, from today onwards, you are not allowed to go out of this small courtyard
If I know you don't do it, you just wait to be locked in your room! And for the sake of punishment
You, tomorrow you will clean the little pool, and you will pick up the heads in the pool and throw them away
Fall! After speaking, the emperor walked quickly to the door of the room, and looked back at the grievance so much that he almost cried
Linda came out, and he still whispered, "Go to bed early." ”
After closing the door to Linda's room, Emperor Gate came to the small courtyard, and he looked at the two headless corpses with a blank face
The body was thrown out of the small courtyard, and then returned to the small pool. Looking at the blood-contaminated pool, he said with some regret
Said: "It's a pity that this clear pool water. After saying that, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't do it after all
The two human heads remained in the pool, and he finally fished them out and threw them away.
It was impossible for Emperor Gate to fall asleep after doing these things, and he was worried that there would be some trouble ahead
, I had to sit in the living room and close my eyes and pretend to sleep, quietly guarding this night for Linda.
......
The quiet building is soothed by the familiar soft and melodious tunes of the music box
The weeping soul, which also quelled the nameless flame, floated until dawn.
