"Is your foot hurt?" Rogge reached for Hogg's foot, an orc slave, and Hogg subconsciously retracted his foot and said, "No, it's okay......"

But Rogge grabbed him by the ankle and dragged his bony foot in front of him, seeing that there were numerous wounds and ulcers on the instep and soles of his feet, some of which had become infected and suppurated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Do you walk barefoot like this every day?" Rog looked up at Hogg, the slave nodded silently, and looked at the other slaves who were working around the mine, "The slaves here are all working barefoot, including their hands, and everyone has injuries to their hands and feet, and some have died because of their hands and feet ulcerating. ”

"Little villain!" Rogge called softly, and the little owl Lilith got out of his hat, jumped on his shoulder and yawned, looking at the orc slave in front of him with a curious gaze, only to hear Rogge say, "Go find Catherine, she was talking to an orc overseer nearby, find her and bring Monica." ”

The little furball shook his little head from side to side and asked, "Which way should I go?"

"Over there!" said Rogge, pointing up the road, "aren't you going to use your little wings again?"

The little furball turned into a little Lori from jumping to the ground, and said while bouncing up: "It's such a big sun, I can't fly, my eyes are going to be sunburned!"

Rogge glanced at her departing back and shouted, "Don't run around, this is not a place to mess around!"

Seeing that little Lori ran away, he withdrew his gaze and fell on the face of the slave worker Hogg and asked, "Hogg, the current situation is very unfavorable to you, you should understand that if you want to prove that you are innocent, you must cooperate with me." ”

"Of course, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. Hogg hurriedly agreed, and Rogge asked him to tell the story of the day of the incident.

Hogg reminisced for a moment, and then said, "Well, the day before the incident, after handing in the diamonds, my co-workers and I asked the overseer Carmon if he could be released by handing in the next batch, and Carmon said that he would ask Ossian about it. ”

"At noon the next day, Carmon told me that Ossis was willing to talk to us face to face, and that we should send a representative to meet him, and my co-workers recommended me, and Carmon asked me to go to Ossis's house to meet him myself. ”

"Wait a minute, didn't he send the foreman with you?" Rogge interrupted Hogg's narration with concern, Hogg shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, in fact, I also thought about escaping at the time, because there is a section of road between the mine and the mercenary camp that is unguarded. ”

Rogge nodded in agreement, he had just walked down that road, there was no guard on the road except for a long stretch of yellow sand, and it was very likely that a slave would escape from here to the east and west, and he asked Hogg, "Why didn't you run away?"

"Because I'm afraid of being caught," said Hogg, with a sigh, "I thought about it, anyway, I only had a little left to be free, so why risk escaping? ”

He shook his head with some remorse and said, "Maybe I really should have run away at that time, so things wouldn't have turned out like this." ”

"Don't be so pessimistic," Rogge patted him lightly on the shoulder, "I don't think your choice is worth regretting, believe me, if you are really innocent, I will guarantee that you are safe." ”

Hogg nodded gratefully and continued: "After I entered the mercenary camp, I met some mercenaries, they asked me about my origin, I told them about it, they said that Ossis was in his residence, let me go and meet him myself. ”

"When I came to the door of Ossian's house, something very strange happened!"

Speaking of this, Hogg looked at Rogge with a confused look and said, "I knocked lightly on the door and explained my intention, but there was no one inside, I thought that Ossis was not there, and I didn't know what to do, when suddenly there was a voice from inside, 'Come in'." ”

"I could tell it was Ossis's voice, for he used to visit the mines, and gathered us together to listen to him, and we were all familiar with his voice, and as soon as I heard his voice, I pushed the door and went in, but when I went into the house I found that there was no one inside. ”

"No one?" Rogge frowned in surprise, a look of confusion between his eyebrows, and examined the slave's face with suspicion to determine whether he was deceiving himself, only to hear Hogg affirmatively say, "Yes, there was no one in the room when I entered, and there was no answer to my call to Ossis." ”

"Go on. Rogge gestured to Hogg as he reached for his pipe and lit it.

"I searched around the house, but I didn't find anyone, but I clearly heard the voice of Ossis from the house, which surprised and frightened me, and I waited in the house for a while, but no one came in, and no sound came, and the more I stayed, the more frightened I became, and I simply fled from there, intending to come back to Ossis at another time. ”

"You left like this?" Rogge asked, puffing on his green pipe, looking at Hogg, "Did you notice anything on the table as you left?"

"No, there's nothing on the table. Hogg replied without thinking, and Rogge stared at him with suspicion, and Hogg saw that he was skeptical of his words, and said categorically, "I swear, there really is nothing, the table is empty, there is nothing." ”

At this time, little Lori Lilith came to Rogge with Catherine and Monica, little Lori pouted angrily, Rogge saw her like this, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?

"There's a bad ugly guy who did something to the stupid girl, and I beat her up!" said little Lori angrily.

Rogge looked up at Catherine when she heard this, and the girl shrugged her shoulders and said, "When Lilith passed by just now, Carmon's guy happened to be seen by her dishonestly, and Lilith beat Carmon and almost fought with his men, but fortunately he was persuaded in the end. ”

"Good job little villain. Rogge smiled approvingly, looked up at the little flower spirit in mid-air, but swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, he looked down at Hogg's severely injured hands and feet, and said to him after a moment: "Just get here first, you go back to work in peace, and leave the rest to us." ”

Looking at Hogg's departing back, Catherine turned around and asked Rogge hopefully, "What do you think of this, has this slave been wronged?"
