Chapter 185: The Wrath of Aragon (Part II)
The Gallente had not yet formed a clear form of government, with the royal family controlling the army, relying on feudal nobles to oversee the land, and the herdsmen collecting taxes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe nobles in each realm can set their own rules of the game, and generally the royal family does not participate in local management, and there are very few officials and nobles in the empire, and the number of inspectorates responsible for controlling these people is naturally pitiful. Liang Ke stood in front of the wide reception desk in the hall on the first floor for two minutes, only to see a short and fat middle-aged man yawning with a large coffee cup coming over, and seeing that he was about to hit Achilles's body, the guy stood up suddenly, raised his fat hand and rubbed the sleepy eyes that had just opened, and only then did he find a few people standing in front of him.
"What for?"
The fat man hung the coffee cup on the table, and the thick foam splashed everywhere, and he greedily licked the foam off his hand before lazily asking the stranger what he meant.
"Surrender!"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, put his little finger into his ear and stirred it vigorously a few times, and then asked again in confusion, "What?"
"I said my name was Aragorn, and I came here to ask what I had sinned. ”
Liang Ke patiently explained to this fool that Achilles didn't have such a good temper, and he roared in a rough voice.
"Is there anyone who can understand the words, get out of one, you are going to arrest Aragorn Liang has turned himself in!"
Achilles' voice shook the giant chandelier above his head, and the dust accumulated over the years fell on the fat man's face, and then he finally understood that the two guys in front of him were not good.
"Someone's turning themselves in!"
The fat man's shrill cry was so terrified that it couldn't be associated with what he wanted to say. The fat man's screaming effect was obvious, and more than a dozen heads quickly popped up from the corridor upstairs to look down, but no one came down to help.
A moment later, a majestic voice finally came from the shadows upstairs. "What the hell is your name?"
"They...... They say turn themselves in!"
Obviously, the fat man named Gu Anu was very afraid of the voice, and his voice trembled violently when he replied.
"Who?—" the voice asked impatiently in the darkness.
"Yes...... It's called ......"
Achilles couldn't stand it anymore, he pushed the fat man to the ground, and replied in a long voice: "The new baron, the lord of the golden cang, ah... Pull... Gong!"
The voice upstairs was like a Turing cat whose tail had been stepped on, and the voice that had been calm and eerie just now immediately became as sharp as that of the dead fat man.
"Guards, grab them, close the door. ”
There were only thirteen permanent guards in the Supervision Department, six of them did not come after asking for leave, and the rest were dozing off in the duty room, and the voice shouted three times, and they woke up suddenly, and they didn't have time to put on their armor, and ran out one by one bare-chested and barefoot, but fortunately, the captain did not forget to grab his scimitar, otherwise he would have staged a scene of fighting dragons with his hands.
A group of unscrupulous guards surrounded Liang Ke and Aragorn in the middle, and Mr. Atwood, the otter on Liang Ke's shoulder, barely laughed. Liang Ke didn't bother to pay attention to these guards, who were not much stronger than quails, and looked up at the shadow on the corridor on the second floor, and slowly smiled.
"Your Highness Cergus, do you think these guards can provide you with any sense of security?"
The voice upstairs was silent for a moment, and then there was a slightly flustered footstep, and a group of officials from the Inspectorate gathered around His Highness Cergus in fine clothes and walked down the side staircase. The proud Third Prince bit his lip, and finally didn't dare to get past those naked guards, walked in front of Liang Ke, and stood at the top of the stairs to speak.
"You say...... Are you turning yourself in?"
Liang Ke was a little amused when he saw Cergus's trembling appearance, he nodded, smiled and said, "Yes, but before that, I want to visit my friends who have been implicated because of me. ”
Liang Ke's request made Cergus's heart tighten, and he immediately refused: "This is absolutely not okay, they are all criminals, and they can't be visited, not to mention, you are also an important criminal of the empire, and you are not qualified to visit others at all." ”
Liang Ke could see a trace of uneasiness on Cergus's face, and the feeling of apprehension in his heart was even stronger, and he immediately made his own conditions.
"You should know that unless I am restrained, with your strength, you will not be able to catch me at all, as long as I am sure that they are safe, they will walk into your cell by themselves, isn't this what you want?"
"Not necessarily. ”
Seeing that there was a black-clothed young man beside Liang Ke, and the big mouse on his shoulder was too stupid to speak, Cergus felt a trace of confidence in his heart. He had secretly sent his subordinates to sneak out to ask for reinforcements, believing that if he delayed for a while, this rude guy would obediently kneel at his feet and beg for mercy, so he rarely let go of the pride of His Royal Highness the Prince, and lowered his posture to deal with Liang Ke.
"I know that Your Excellency is strong, but the guards of the Inspectorate are not easy to deal with. Chirgus looked at those fools, he didn't believe these words, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency alone, if you want to defeat dozens of us here, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, since you are surrendering, I advise you to have an attitude of surrendering, give up resistance, and cooperate with the Inspector to explain things clearly, maybe my father will be light for the sake of Your Excellency's past merits." ”
Cergus's words were actually very tactful, and they seemed to him to be very pertinent, but to Achilles' ears it felt very unpleasant, which was to think of himself as air. The young and vigorous demon dragon Lord Achilles did not need Liang Ke's command, turned into a wisp of black light and shot out, everyone didn't have time to blink, he had already returned to Liang Ke's side, unlike just now, his right hand was pinching Prince Chirgus's neck, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still calm just now, was like a wounded chick at the moment, snot flowed through the corners of his mouth, and the blood was dripping to the ground, and his body was twitching, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
Liang Ke frowned slightly, he didn't expect the Demon Dragon Lord who was out of the eggshell to have such a hot temper, but he didn't object to the Demon Dragon's approach, now that His Royal Highness the Prince was in his hands, it would be much more convenient to visit his subordinates. As long as you don't kill this pesky guy, there's always room to maneuver.
As His Royal Highness the Prince with an incomparably noble status and one of the future heirs of the empire, of course there are masters around Cergus, but the "Shadow Raid" launched by the demon dragon is far from being comparable to the supreme killer like Deborah, and there is almost no reason for the speed, so that the golden swordsman beside Cergus does not even have time to draw his sword, as a core member of the Royal Knights, the great swordsman knows in his heart that even their legionnaire cannot respond effectively in the face of such speed.
Lord Demon Dragon doesn't care about the consequences at all, in his eyes all humans are ants, of course, except for his symbiote Aragorn Liang, what he needs is this sense of being feared or worshipped, and the rest is not what he cares about.
"I'm sorry guys, but my friend doesn't have a very good temper. Liang Ke fakely apologized, then his eyes fell on the face of the great swordsman, and said with a smile: "It's still the request just now, I don't know if Your Excellency can fulfill my little wish." ”
Seeing that Liang Ke did not intend to kill Prince Cergus, the great swordsman felt a little relieved, and he turned around and commanded loudly, "Lead the way for Mr. Aragorn." ”
Liang Ke's murderous reputation is too great, everyone doesn't want to do this unlucky errand, and the guards pass the buck to each other, saying that they don't know where people are held. In the end, a skinny presiding judge of the case was pushed out by everyone, and he could only lead the way with his head.
It turned out that the place where Grufende and Braggart and others were held was under the small building of the Supervision Hall, the gloomy dungeon was dim and damp, and when the iron door was opened, a strong smell of blood mixed with rancid stench came to the face, Liang Ke's heart sank to the bottom, and a strong uneasiness hit his heart, he held a torch and quickly walked through the narrow corridor and walked towards the depths of the dungeon. Before he could get to the front, he heard a roar and a faint moaning in the distance.
Liang Ke quickened his pace and ran over, the beating flames made him see the scene in front of him clearly, Liang Ke felt a sharp pain in his heart, his breath surged upward, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the thick iron bar of the cell door, and he almost fainted in distress in front of him.
In the pitch-black cells, the troll warriors were impaled through their hands and feet by thick steel nails and hung like frog jerky on the cold walls, black blood flowing down the walls and into the corridors outside the cell doors, emitting a foul stench. The wound had not been cleaned for so long, and the rotting and inflamed wound had grown maggots, which burrowed in and out, itching and pain, causing the troll warrior to groan.
In another cell was an iron cage, and Braggot's huge body was stuffed into a ball of flesh, his head on his knees, his buttocks pressed against his heels, his left and right hands crossed behind his back, and the strong iron bars pressed his thick arms into a deep imprint. This posture made it difficult for him to breathe, but the stubborn minotaur warrior still inhaled hard and cursed loudly, but his voice was hoarse, and he could no longer hear what he was scolding.
On the wooden chair beside Braggett, Grufende sat upright, and he was able to sit there because someone had pierced the lute bone with wire and fixed him to the back of the chair, otherwise he would not be able to maintain his balance with his discarded limbs. Although Grufende's limbs were crippled and scarred, the gaze in his eyes was extremely bright and determined, and when he saw Liang Ke's eyes covered with tears outside the prison door, he actually pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then closed his eyes and never woke up. In the days to come, Liang Ke would often recall that smile, and finally he understood, it was a kind of relief after pain, that was a kind of redemption after making a mistake, that was a kind of forgiveness of past grievances, and that was a kind of entrustment to his family and children.
