Before leaving, Androv had mentioned that Locke Manor was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and El didn't pay attention to it at all. In his opinion, the so-called manor is nothing more than a larger aristocratic mansion, but when he arrived at the place, he found that the scale of Locke Manor far exceeded his expectations. Perhaps considering the personal safety of Delare, the defenses of Locke Manor were several times stronger than that of the town of Lille, and the quality of the soldiers was very different.

It's not difficult for Eel to get in alone, but the problem is that he didn't come here to kill people, but to contact the imprisoned Renard Locke, and to find people and spy on information. There's no way to let him go in alone. Fortunately, they stumbled upon an enthusiastic guide.

Lady Lascha was far more familiar with Locke Manor than El had expected, and she even knew exactly where the tunnels were hidden in the back mountains. Although she said that she was only Master Renard's lover, El pondered that the relationship between the two should be more intimate.

This kind of escape secret passage that even Miharun doesn't know is definitely the top secret of the Locke family, and only blood relatives can grasp it. If there is no absolute trust between two people, how could Renard confide such a secret to the daughter of a mayor who has no noble status?

Judging by the familiarity of Ms. Laxia, it is obvious that this is not the first time she has used this secret passage. Because she was worried about her daughter's safety, she insisted on taking Lina with her. The little girl was very well-behaved and obedient, and followed her mother without saying a word. She had been frightened a little by the night, and she seemed a little shrunken, but now she had slowly recovered, and from time to time she looked back at Palanti's face, and seemed to be interested in the young lady who had saved her.

At the end of the secret passage was blocked by a stone wall, and Rasha found the switch by fumbling around the wall twice by the light of the fire, she pulled Linna aside and whispered to El: "Your Excellency, behind this mechanism is the dungeon of Locke Manor, Renard must be locked up here, usually there are only four jailers in the dungeon, I am afraid that now they will send more people." ”

"No problem, we can take care of it, please open the door. El nodded, his gaze couldn't help but turn to Palanti, when it comes to assassination, Lori Knight is an expert in this way, all he is worried about is that the little girl can't hold back. Although Palanti's performance has been very good since then, this guy's bad track record is really a headache.

"Palanti, you deal with the guards and don't let them sound the alarm. Timmy, you're responsible for protecting Lady Rasha's mother and daughter. El untied the dragon's tooth bow from behind and assigned the two men a good task, of course, a special reminder to Palanti.

Raksha pressed the switch, and the stone wall immediately sank downward, and although the sound from the operation of the mechanism was much quieter than Elle expected, it was still very clear in the underground passage. On the opposite side of the stone wall was an enclosed dungeon space, where faint candlelight shone through the doorway, and in the distance it was possible to hear someone whispering in the distance.

El's eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and he swept left and right to take in the entire structure of the dungeon. The cell is located below the staircase passage of the dungeon, with an unlocked doorway and an area of cells twenty meters long on each side of the outside.

"Palanti, the four people on the left will be handed over to you, and I will be in charge of the right, don't make any noise. El whispered as he gently twisted open the door to his cell. Two men jumped out of the doorway.

The guards in the cell area on the right were only three ordinary soldiers, and they were not even hors d'oeuvres for El. Before he pulled the bowstring, he had prepared three quick arrows, aiming at the heads of each of the three men. Almost as soon as he released the bowstring, the three guards fell. He turned around and saw that Palanti on the other side had just put away her sword, and the four guards were clutching her blood-spurting throat behind her.

Well done!El gestured at Palanti with a thumbs up, walked over to the guard's corpse, and picked up the key to the cell door. When he detected through the insight rune just now, he had already discovered that there was only one prisoner in this dungeon, and there were dozens of southern soldiers stationed outside the dungeon, which showed how much that young master Miharun valued his dear brother.

El had some doubts about Rasha's words, and he had the impression that this kind of fraternal drama was usually the result of endless death, but he did not know why Mihalen did not kill Renard immediately, but left him alive. It wasn't until he opened the cell door that he really realized Mihalan's intentions.

The death of his brother is not enough to make up for the hatred in his heart, and he wants his brother to live rather than die.

Renard was about thirty years old, burly, with blond hair on his shoulders, and from the aesthetic point of view of a woman, he was a mature and handsome man...... At least that's how Lascha described it on the way here. And now the prisoners that El sees have been tortured to the point of being inhuman.

He was hung in a cell chained, his chest blurred from the whipping, and the burnt marks of the soldering iron could still be seen on the flesh. The blonde hair was torn and messy, and the face was blue and swollen, and it was impossible to see the original appearance. He had several deep cuts on both of his thighs with a knife, and the blood had dried up. With his keen eyesight, El could even see the wriggling maggots in the wound, and he couldn't help but feel a tingling in his scalp.

"Master Reynard, what did they do to you?" Rasha gasped and screamed behind her, and El quickly put his hand back to cover her mouth and whispered, "Don't shout, be careful to alarm the guards outside." That man is still alive, you go find some clean water to wash his wounds. ”

Rasha covered her mouth and nodded, looking at the miserable condition of the prisoner, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Timmy, who was following the mother and daughter, turned his eyes faster, and covered Little Linna's eyes for the first time and carried the little girl out.

Of course, it is impossible to store clean water in the dungeon, and in the end, Rasha only finds the water bladder on the guard, which can only be said to be better than nothing. El lets her go in alone to take care of her lover, and he and Palanti casually clean up the battlefield outside. At this time, the two of them must be given time to let Rasha explain the situation to Renard, otherwise their rash appearance may cause the hostility of the eldest young master.

Suddenly there was a muffled snort of pain from the man, followed by a meaningless curse, and after a while, Renard finally came to his senses, looked at the woman he loved in front of him and said sadly, "Raxia, did they arrest you too? Where is Little Lina?

"No, Master Renard, I'm here to save you. Rasha held her lover's face and wept silently.

The whispers of the two infatuated men and women were not interested or in the mood to eavesdrop, and he turned around and walked to the cell on the side of Palanti, studying the increasingly sophisticated assassination skills of the Lori Knight. Within a few minutes, he saw Rasha come out of the cell with tears in her eyes, nodding to El and saying, "I've made it clear to Master Renard, and he wants to talk to you." ”

"Very well, Timmy, go up and let the wind out. El pointed to the stairs, and then walked into Renard's cell again with Palanti.

Renard had already been put down, and although the wounds on his body had been initially treated, they had no noticeable effect. However, his eyes have obviously come to his senses, and he has regained a lot of strength.

"Mr. El, thank you for saving Rasha and Lina. Reynard sat in the corner, staring at El with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "But forgive me for my unheardness, Isttalon doesn't seem to have a person like you?"

"There's no Istalon anymore, Mr. Renard, and we're not much better off than you are. El shook his head and crouched down with a wry smile. From Renard's eyes, he could sense that this was a person with a real personality, so he decided to tell the truth: "Actually, we need your help, Mr. Renard, are you still loyal to the White Lion Family?"

"What proof do you have of who you are?" Renard asked, still cautious, in a low voice.

"Palanti?" El beckoned back, and Palanti lowered his head, removed the necklace with a lion's tooth horn from his neck, and handed it to Renard.

A small horn with a white shimmer, the only one in the whole of the North, has not and cannot be imitated. Renard was stunned by the white light of the horn, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious. He staggered to his feet with his hands on the ground, tensed his muscles hard, and there was a crisp sound of bones in his body, and the momentum of the whole person changed suddenly, making El raise his eyebrows slightly.

"The Locke family's loyalty to the White Lion has never changed, that mongrel beast Miharun murdered my father and then designed to frame me, he is a traitor who has abandoned his dignity and glory, and cannot represent the will of the Locke family!"

"Very well, Mr. Renard, I appreciate your frankness. I just don't know if you still have enough appeal to influence the land right now?" El asked, looking directly into Renard's eyes.

"It's not difficult, Your Excellency, I still have warriors who can fight, but they are all besieged in the valley pass. Renard stretched his hands and feet and said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, there was an urgent enemy situation at the River Valley Pass, and I rushed to support with the troops of the Locke family. As long as I return to the valley pass, my warriors will serve you. ”

"It's sad to go around and get there again. El scratched his head in annoyance, Renard didn't know that Hegu Pass had been heavily besieged by the southern army, and if he wanted to break the siege, he was afraid that a tough battle would inevitably be avoided. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
