"Sir Carroman, do you remember me?"

Ilea said to the man in front of her with a pair of gray brown-red ears and a slender beard.

The latter raised his head in cringe, and the pair of bloodshot eyes stayed on the female lord's face for about three or four seconds before recognizing the girl.

"Are you...... Elia, Ruth's daughter?! ”

"That's right, it's me, you took me on horseback on that meadow outside Teacup Castle on my eighth birthday."

"Oh my God, it's really you! Ireya, have you been kidnapped by those villains too? Caroman's eyes widened, and he looked at Thomas, who was standing beside the female lord, with some fear.

"This is the captain of my guard, Knight Thomas." Ilea gave a brief introduction to the two.

However, after seeing the weasel crest on the knight's armor, Carroman was at a loss again.

"Oh, this batch of armor originally belonged to the Emmanuel family, and they gave me this batch of armor to thank me for getting rid of the black dragon and avenging their family's family, and I haven't had time to change the coat of arms on it." The female lord explained.

"So you saved me, Ilea!" With tears in her eyes, Carroman stood up from the ground trembling and trying to give Miss Rabbit a big hug, but was stopped by Thomas.

In addition to this, Carroman also noticed that the girl quietly took a half step back.

The joy of the owner of Acorn Castle after successfully getting out of the predicament suddenly dissipated, and he smelled a bad smell.

"Do you know anything about the people who kidnapped you?" Ilea continued.

"I don't know, when I went hunting, they came out of nowhere, seven of them, all masked, tied me up without saying a word, and killed my squire. ”

"After that, I was taken away by them, and they have been torturing me in all kinds of cruel ways these days, and they have also cut off my right hand."

As she spoke, Karoman stretched out her severed arm, the top of her wrist empty, the cut wrapped in strips of cloth that had been stained brown with blood.

"Then do you know why those people kidnapped you?"

"What else could it be...... These outlaws are nothing more than money. The owner of the Acorn Castle had a twinkle in his eyes.

"And you insisted on refusing to give them money, even at the expense of your right hand?" Miss Rabbit said, "I didn't know you were so serious about money. ”

"They didn't give me a choice, and they cut off my right hand as soon as they came up."

Recalling the nightmarish experience, Karoman closed his eyes in pain, and it took him a few moments to calm his breathing, and he thanked the girl again.

"You saved me from those scoundrels, my child, and I don't know how to repay you. In addition, I have heard about your successful dragon slaying, which is a remarkable feat, and Ruth will be proud of you if he is still alive. ”

After a pause, he looked around again, "Where are we now, Green Field, they put me in a barrel before, and I can't see the outside at all." ”

"You're in Rock Snow City right now." The female lord said lightly, "By the way, David's cavalry is just two blocks away. ”

Kaloman's expression froze when he heard this, but then he squeezed out a smile on his face, "Rock Snow City, great, with the protection of the Figuerola family's guards, we must be safe." ”

"I'm safe, but you're not necessarily safe."

Karoman laughed dryly twice, feigning a dumb voice, "I don't know what you're talking about, Ilea...... That, can I leave now? I need to go to the Silvermoon Church to see a doctor to treat my injuries. ”

"Please." Ilea happily stepped out of the way.

Unable to believe that she could get out of her predicament so easily, Carroman tentatively stood up and walked out of the room with a somewhat stumbling step.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door with his front feet, the voice of the female lord sounded again from behind him, "You know what will happen to you if David finds you, right?" ”

Kaloman's body shook.

"As soon as you leave this inn, David's eyeliner left nearby will spot you as soon as possible, and it took a lot of effort for us to get you in just now."

Carroman's body trembled even more when he heard this, and after a moment he finally withdrew the foot he had stepped out of, turned to the girl, and said, "What do you want?" ”

"An answer."

"What answer?"

"I already know that what happened in Acorn Fort more than half a year ago was not an accident, but a premeditated murder, and I need you to tell me who instructed you to murder my father."

"I'm ......" Carroman opened his mouth and trembled for a long time, but he couldn't spit out a word.

"Tell me the name."

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Carroman obviously knew that there was no point in quibbling now, and the group that kidnapped him before was also related to the Arias family.

"No, you killed my father, he sees you as a dear friend, and I need to avenge my father."

"No way, if you know his identity, you'll know that your revenge can't be accomplished."

"That's my business." The female lord said.

"Then what's in it for me, whether I say it or not, I'm a dead end." Carroman laughed miserably.

"Say it and you will at least feel better before you die, if you still feel the slightest guilt in your heart for murdering my father."

“…………”

As if he had been crushed by this sentence, Carroman closed his eyes again in pain, covered his face with his only remaining hand, and actually sobbed.

"He forced me, the Figuerola family is the lord of the West, and that person is the next heir of the Figuerola family, he only needs to move his mouth, someone has done everything for him, they designed to frame Hugo, my only son, I have to do what he says.

"Only in this way can I save Hugo, I don't want to murder your father, we are friends, but I can't disobey David's orders, I'm sorry, I'm too weak......"

Hearing Carroman's final spit out that name, Ilea also let out a long breath, not feeling much joy, just a relief that had traveled thousands of miles and was about to reach the end.

She followed the technique given to her by Professor Li Yu, pressed the pause button on the recorder, and recorded the conversation between the two just now.

After that, without looking at Carroman, who was kneeling and crying bitterly, he stepped directly over the latter's body and left the room without looking back.
