Chapter 64: Proposals
When the jailer heard this, he hesitated with a look on his face: "My lord, there are rules in the prison that you can't let others into the room of the condemned prisoner without permission, and if I let you in, I'm afraid you will be punished or even dismissed." ”
Shani looked at his embarrassed appearance, smiled in her heart and threw something to him, the jailer quickly took it, and after seeing what it was, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, it turned out to be a pearl the size of his thumb!
The jailer held back his joy, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "My lord, you can go in, but be careful not to stay too long, there are guards patrolling back and forth in this part of the cell, so go down and unlock it for you, you can rest assured to chat, I will go to the corner to let you out!"
With that, the jailer took out the key and opened the large lock on the cell door, and then carefully kicked the pearl in his pocket, and quietly walked into the distance to watch the wind.
Shani pushed open the door and walked in, her movement woke up Dawn who was sleeping, it was too dark in the prison, and Dawn, who had been here for a long time, was pierced by the bright light of the torch in front of him.
After a while, his tearful eyes, pierced by the bright light, finally saw the comer, and he frowned and asked, "Is that you?
Shani stuck the torch in the wall, walked up to him, bent down and looked at him, and said, "Now it's time for you to choose!"
There was an intermittent sound of banging in the Hill mansion, the sound of craftsmen hired by Carlos repairing walls damaged by the earthquake. Russell was sitting in a chair, looking helplessly at the dawn on the table.
Since the last time Dawn struck a sky-breaking blow and forced back the strange stars, it has been damaged, and the glimmer of light emitted from the former sword is now completely gone, and the delicate lines are densely covered with cracks, looking like it has lost all its spirituality, this is a token given to him by the mage, and now he has not protected it, but it has become like this.
In the past few days, Carlos has also visited many swordsmiths with him, and while these masters lamented the wonders of the dawn, they also reluctantly said that they were not capable of repairing the sword. But I know that Dawn is not a mortal thing, and I don't know how to repair it.
Looking at the shattered morning light, Russell couldn't help but feel very distressed, so he had to put the sword back on, and was about to walk out of the house, when there was another quarrel outside.
Here again came Russell walked out of the house quickly, and sure enough, there were Carlos and Charlotte standing outside. I don't know where Charlotte learned about the impending war and wanted to join them on the expedition, but Carlos firmly disagreed with her idea.
"This war is not what you girls imagined, this is a battle between hundreds of thousands of people, it will be dead, do you think the noble lady can do it on the battlefield?" Carlos didn't want to continue arguing with his sister, and said his thoughts openly and honestly.
Charlotte replied to her brother with a frown: "Carlos, have you forgotten that we have been training martial arts with our teacher since we were children? I am not a delicate eldest lady, and I can also get on the horse to kill the enemy, why can't I go on the expedition? I and my sisters have formed a noble women's army, maybe we can become the next Duke of Fiona!"
"Duke Fiona, who is this?" Russell asked as he walked over to them, hearing a familiar name but not remembering for a moment who it was.
Carlos explained: "Duke Fiona was the only female duke among the ten founding dukes of the Empire, and she was often at the forefront of the charge, leading the way to defeat enemy formations, and she was known for her bravery. Carlos leaned sideways into Russell's ear and whispered: "According to the wild history, this female duke is also the confidant of the founding emperor!"
Since it was Carlos's secret, it seems that this record may not be a rumor, Russell thought secretly in his heart when he heard this.
Seeing the two whispering in front of her, Charlotte complained with some dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about? It just so happens that Russell is here to judge, do you think I can follow you on the expedition!"
Russell was embarrassed to find himself suddenly involved in their dispute, and now he was in a dilemma, looking at the two people around him who were waiting for him to answer, Russell couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and suddenly shouted: "Sorry, my stomach hurts a little, and I'm out of company!"
Then Russell slipped away, but how could he escape the two who had been prepared earlier, his hands were held by both of them, and he couldn't move at all, Russell sighed, it seems that he can't escape the fate of being a referee.
As Russell expected, after a long day of arguing, the matter finally came to a definite result, and Charlotte could follow them on the expedition, but only her.
Because the number of people in the army was too large, they couldn't protect the many eldest ladies at all, so she couldn't go into battle, and in order to make sure that Russell decided that a group of them would hide at the back of the team, he would rely on Carlos to make some connections and see if he could find a relationship to integrate them all into the team that transported the baggage.
