Isabel returned to her cell, prepared a bathtub and hot water, and prepared a hot bath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after, Blanca arrived, and he brought two new candles, and then put them on the table, and said, "Isabel, you may need these." ”

This made Isabel feel very uncomfortable, "Blanca, why are you here again?"

"It's time for your candles to change, I'll bring you candles. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Isabel will unceremoniously put the candle in the drawer, then push Blanca out of the cell, and lock the door by the way, "Blanca, I need to rest, wait until I wake up." ”

Blanca looked embarrassed, "You don't have to rush me away in such a hurry, I just came to bring you candles, and I don't want to disturb your rest." ”

"Remember, you are not to disturb me in the future while I am engrossed in the study of Leonardo da Vinci's manuscript. ”

"You seem to be studying the da Vinci manuscript all the time. ”

"Then never bother me. ”

"You have the highest permission from the king in your hand, and you are in my jurisdiction, and the king will blame me if I fail to take care of you. ”

"Looks like I'm causing you trouble?"

"I'm just afraid that I don't take good care of you, and His Majesty blames me. ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you if I need help. ”

"Just say something. ”

"I want to know, what's new tomorrow?"

"You mean the cruel games?"

"What else is there besides those games?"

"There's also a training ground for the prisoners, and you can go and see how they train. ”

"I remember you said there was a red-eyed monster here, didn't you?"

"I gave it the name 'Red-Eyed Monster', do you want to see it? I suggest you don't go, I'll show you how powerful it is another day. ”

"I don't want to see it, I'll go to the beach tomorrow to see the scenery by myself." ”

"Then take your will. ”

"You go back first. ”

"I'll see you later. ”

After Blanca left, Isabel set up a wooden board in the middle of the steaming tub and placed candles, white paper, and pen and ink on the board. She then stripped off all her clothes and stepped into the tub to relax while continuing to work on new technology. Da Vinci's manuscripts inspired her to use them to study a shocking form of cutting-edge technology as a way to show her loyalty to the king, to bring a great sense of security and pride to the people of the country, and more importantly to prove her worth to her parents and people.

During the day the next day, the island of Amae was irrigated by the spring rains, which moistened the land and brought everything back to life. After studying the manuscript all night, Isabel did not rest, but put on a dragon leather coat, took pen and ink and a drawing board, put on the gold mask given to her by the king for the first time, went to the seashore alone, and began to observe the movements of the seagulls as they flew, and she tried to observe the subtle movements of the seagulls at every moment of take-off, flapping their wings, gliding, landing, and retracting their wings. In order to prevent the paper from getting wet in the rain, she found a deserted hut and walked in, drew the decomposition of the seagull's flight on the paper, combined with the flying wings from da Vinci's manuscript, and soon sketched a kind of gliding flying wing on the paper. Her goal is to dream of one day being able to present da Vinci's masterful invention to the world, and strive to realize her dream of flying ahead of schedule.

Just as she was engrossed, there were suddenly two loud and crisp whip sounds, followed by a chaotic barking dog. She turned her eyes and saw that the prisoner ship had brought in new prisoners. She saw soldiers escorting some healthy prisoners to the castle, while those with disabilities or diseases were thrown directly into the sea or shot on the spot. This time, there were some African black slaves inside, most of them were very young, but unfortunately they were too weak, they all had big heads, and their bodies were covered with skin and bones, especially the protruding ribs on the two ribs were the most obvious, which should be caused by the lack of some kind of nutrition, and from a distance, they looked like a shriveled mummy walking on it.

Several black slaves were quickly caught up by vicious dogs released by the soldiers because they went in the wrong direction, and were bitten to death and torn apart. There were also some black slaves who may have just arrived in the cold of Northern Europe, so they are not used to the environment here, although it is spring, they are inevitably blown by the cold wind blowing from the Arctic.

Such a cold environment was no different from hell for black slaves who were accustomed to the heat of Africa, so that many of them fell to the ground shortly after disembarking, curled up in a ball, and could not immediately stand up despite the beatings of the soldiers who were accustomed to abusing prisoners with sticks or leather whips.

Some soldiers even smashed slaves on the head with the butts of their rifles, resulting in the death of some of them on the spot. When the black slaves were killed, the soldiers would smirk and let their dogs eat the blood of the ground in order to make the vicious dogs more ferocious and aggressive.

Seeing all this through the rotten doorframe of the hut, Isabel did not pity the black slaves, but also whispered to herself: "The weak can only be slaughtered, and only the strong are qualified to rule everything." With that, her original violet eyes suddenly glowed with a blood-colored light.

Then Blanca rode to the hut, as if he had something to say, but when he saw Isabel's purple and red eyes through the gap in the golden mask, he could not help but shudder, and even his horse seemed to feel the murderous aura emanating from the mask, and began to spin and neigh in place, as if terrified. No matter how hard Blanca tried to control it, it didn't help. The embarrassment lasted for about a minute before the reddened light in Isabelle's eyes faded away, and her restored violet eyes were still fascinating.

Blanca finally took the reins and quieted the horse, touched the horse's mane, then jumped off the horse, looked at Isabel in amazement, and asked, "Isabel, what happened to you?"

Isabel also seemed to have just come to her senses, "It's nothing, I'm just a little distracted." ”

"Your eyes were so ...... just now It's weird. ”

"Really? I don't think so. Is there anything wrong with you?"

"I have something to discuss with you. ”

"Please. ”

"The French Strange Barracks has sent someone. ”

"It was a bit unexpected. How many people came?"

"Five. ”

"Could it be that Napoleon sent him?"

"I don't know, Tomahawk is just a prison, how did they come here?"

"I've already guessed that it's not far from ten. ”

"Tell me why they're here?"

"Borrow. ”

"Strange, even if it's a borrower, you should say hello in advance, but I haven't received any news before. Who are they going to borrow, in your opinion?"

"Me. ”

"You?"

"Yes. ”

"You are an important person in the Ninth Defense, and you have the highest permission from the King himself, even if they want to borrow people, it will not work if we do not receive a personal letter from His Majesty the King. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Napoleon was already planning to send troops to Russia. ”

"Even if Napoleon planned to send troops to Russia, then he should have personally come to write a letter, and it would be too inconvenient to find a few random people to borrow people from us. ”

"It's just my guess. ”

"If you can guess, it proves that this is the case. ”

"Why don't you go and see what they have to say. ”

"If I really came to borrow you to help, it must not be a good thing, either to carry out assassination, or to charge for them. ”

"If they do come to lend you help, I'll try to excuse myself. ”

"You go first. ”

Blanca got on his horse again and headed straight for the castle. The sudden visit to the Odd Barracks also made Isabel reluctant to continue drawing the flying wings, so she returned to the castle cell with her sketchpad and pen and ink. Soon after she arrived at the cell, two soldiers invited her to the conference room on Blanca's orders, saying that they had something very important to discuss with her. She couldn't excuse herself, so she could only find out.

She arrived at the conference room with the soldiers, and found that Blanca was already waiting with the five Frenchmen. The Frenchmen were surprised when they saw her, and the officer closest to Blanca's right, the most powerful of the Frenchmen, asked Blanca softly, "Is she always wearing a mask?"

"Maybe. Blanca replied in a low voice.

Isabel stepped forward and sat down to Blanca's left side, facing the French officer.

Blanca introduced Isabel's name to the officer: "Your Excellency, this is Isabel Siegfried of the Ninth National Defense, known as the 'Masked Ghost'. Isabel, this is Colonel Varona Geralang of the French Odd Barracks."

Varona extended her hand to Isabel in a friendly manner, "Isabel, it's an honor to meet you. ”

Isabel shook his hand, "I'm honored to meet you, too, Colonel Gerlalang. ”

"I have long heard that the daimyo of the masked ghost can not only kill London alone and assassinate British high-ranking officials, but also successfully escape under so many pursuers, which will make the military detective department and the military medical department lose face, and make the invincible British Royal Navy fearful, and there is such a hero in the Ninth National Defense, even if there are two Britain, it is not worrying. ”

"Your Excellency Colonel, let's make a long story short, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I'll listen to you. ”

"Our Emperor is very much looking forward to your help, and has sent us two boxes of gold coins, which I hope you will accept. ”

"I'm just a prisoner now, and I haven't made any meritorious service to your emperor, and we really don't dare to accept that you suddenly bring so many gold coins. ”

"Actually, we are here for you, we represent our Emperor, His Majesty, the Emperor wants to bother Isabel to serve in the Strange Barracks for a few days, and in the future, he will personally write a letter for your King to explain everything. ”

"I can't release people without the king's orders. Blanca said.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, our Emperor will explain to your King and assure you that you are safe. ”

"Your Excellency, I advise you to bring back the gold coins, your emperor is in a hurry to expand his military power and needs these money. ”

"This money, the emperor has, please be sure to accept it, it should be regarded as a welcome gift. ”

"Your Excellency Colonel, Blank is right, I am a prisoner to serve your Emperor, I am afraid that it will damage the Emperor's reputation. Isabel said.

"His Majesty the Emperor cherishes talents, and he is a person who rewards and punishes clearly, I can guarantee it. I participated with him at the Battle of Jena, and he was indeed a rare military genius from ancient times to the present day, and I witnessed that great battle as a cavalry major under Marshal Murat. ”

"I don't know much about the Battle of Jena, except that Marshal Ney's Fourth Army, supported by Murat's cavalry, played a vital role in that battle, and General Augereau's Fifth Army also played a vital role. ”

"That's right, if you know so much about the battles that His Majesty the Emperor has participated in, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely appreciate you very much, and will even use you again. ”

"Then I will accept your gold. ”

"So, you agreed to His Majesty the Emperor's invitation?"

Isabel stood up, her eyes turning from suspicion to coldness, her eyes glowing blood-red again, and then she shouted, "Guard." Suddenly there was a heavy sound of leather shoes outside the door, and the five Frenchmen panicked directly, and even Blanca was a little overwhelmed. The guards entered one after another, and Isabel immediately ordered the capture of the Frenchmen.

The colonel, Varona Gelaren, was pointed at gunpoint by the guards on the spot, and he looked confused, "Isabel, why are you doing this?"

Blanca stood up directly and looked at Isabel strangely, "What's going on?"

"Because they are impostors of the French. Isabel said.

"Impostor?"

"Yes. ”

"Isabel, you make it clear that we were clearly sent by His Majesty the Emperor, why do you say that we are impostors? Varona quibbled.

"Colonel Geraland, I was almost deceived by you, but fortunately I know the battle of Jena. ”

"What?"

"Let me tell you! Marshal Ney and Marshal Murat did play an important role in that battle, and General Augereau did play a great role. However, Marshal Ney did not lead the Fourth Army, but the Sixth Army. General Augereau led not the Fifth Army, but the Seventh. Varona, as an officer under Murat, you ought to know this, but you don't even know the basics, aren't you an impostor? Besides, you're not French, and you have an occasional hint of London in your tone. ”

Varona stared at her unconvinced, "Isabel, you cunning fox, sooner or later, you will pay a terrible price." ”

Blanca immediately ordered the guards to put the impostors in their cells and interrogate them severely. If Isabel hadn't discovered the fraud, I don't know what serious consequences would have been. Blanca was also ashamed of his own low-level negligence. Isabel then returned to her cell and continued to study her manuscript.

At noon, Blanca came to her cell and told her about the results of his interrogation: "Varona won't say anything, I cut off ten of his fingers and cut off two of his ears, and he just won't say anything. However, his subordinates still recruited. ”

"What's the matter?"

"They're from the Medical Department, trying to trick you into getting on board under the false identity of the French Odd Barracks and then kill you. ”

"They don't know me too well, and even if they trick me into the ship, they won't be able to kill me. ”

"Not only did they show their flaws, but they also sent themselves to prison, and they also lost two boxes of gold coins in vain, and it seems that there are more and more fools in the military medical department. ”

"Sometimes, the actions of fools can be the difference between victory and defeat. If we kill them, it will only make there fewer and fewer fools in the military medical department. ”

"Well, we've got to keep them. ”

"It's useless to keep them, their mission is not completed, and they will die if they go back. ”

"Then let them kill each other. ”

Isabel was silent for a moment, "Why is this so strange, why did the fool from the Military Medical Department just let us meet it?"

Blanca frowned and thought for a while, "It's a little strange, don't the people from the military medical department even know about the battle of Jena?"

"I killed so many people in London, and did things that ordinary people can't do, and the British Royal Guards have all been dispatched, but in the end they still haven't been able to catch me, and even if the military medical department were to send someone to kill me, they wouldn't be stupid enough to send five fools to kill me. ”

"Anyway, those gold coins are real, and we can definitely use them. ”

"Put away the gold coins first, and send someone to keep a strict watch. ”

"Do those impostor Frenchmen want to continue the interrogation?"

"Those few people were useless, put them in the prison cells of the black slaves, and let the black slaves know that the British who had burned and looted in Africa were in front of them. ”

"Would you like to go and see the excitement?"

"Okay. ”

"Then I'll go get ready. ”

In the evening, Isabel and Blanca arrived at the damp bunker where the slaves were held, and the two were guided by the jailer to a wooden pier where they could keep an eye on their activities. Varona and five other members of the military medical department were then escorted to the black slaves' cell, where they were pushed in and locked after the guards opened the door to the cell.

Blanca shouted to the slaves: "All the blacks, listen, these five are the Britons who used to burn and loot in your homeland, and they are the same ones who sold you to America as slaves, and now they are making you suffer here." You must hate them so much, and today, I will give you a chance to take revenge, you can kill them, and then eat their flesh. But I won't give you anything to eat until you've eaten their meat. ”

"You demon, madman. Varona yelled at Blanca, "What can you do to me with these slaves?"

"You'll find out later. ”

Suddenly, a black slave stood up, went up and punched Varona hard, knocking him to the ground. Subsequently, two other black slaves also ran over and began beating another British prisoner. Next, one black slave after another got up one after another, scrambled to punch and kick the five Englishmen, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos, only the wild howls of the black slaves were heard, and the screams of Varona and others were heard.

Faced with such a terrifying scene, Blanca burst into a devilish shriek. Isabel looked at him and didn't know what to say about him.
