Chapter 183: Do You Live Here?
Durham had been locked up in the dungeon for three full days. Pickup
He knew that he had offended the new emperor this time, and he didn't know what the latter would do with him, even if he was killed, it was not impossible.
But Duren doesn't regret his choice, he's just a little worried about his wife and daughter.
The former chief of the Kingsguard knew that he might be lucky enough to meet Garth, so he sent them all out of town the night before the coronation to join his cousin, who had a territory in Elk Valley.
Duren was wondering when Shelly and Imel would be in Elk Valley, when he saw something fly overhead and land on the grass in front of him.
Duren was stunned.
He couldn't recognize what the little black box was, and was hesitating to hand it over to the dungeon guards when a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Sir Duran." Pickup
"Who?!"
Duren's hairs stood on end, and he looked around vigilantly, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.
"Don't look, I'm not in the dungeon."
Duren felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who was speaking, only from the accent of the other party, it didn't seem to be the native of the continent of Bratis.
"Who the hell are you and where are you hiding?!" Duren said in a deep voice.
However, the voice did not answer his question, and said to himself, "Do what I say, and we will be able to talk."
"Now, pick up the little black box on the ground and find the black button on the side, well, the place will be slightly raised compared to the surrounding area, and there is a small pattern like a sword on it." Pickup
"Hold that place while talking, and then release it when you're done, and I'll hear you."
Li Yu waited for about two minutes after speaking, but there was no sound on the other side.
So Li Yu repeated the previous paragraph, but there was still no response, just when Li Yu wondered if the person Jude found did not throw the walkie-talkie in the right place.
Duren's voice finally sounded from the other side, with a hint of hesitation, "You...... Is it living in this black box? ”
Li Yu is the only one on the continent of Brattis who speaks Chinese to the locals, so his voice is usually very recognizable.
However, his automatic translation ability can only take effect when facing each other, and if he uses a walkie-talkie or radio station, Li Yu can only use the lingua franca unless the person opposite him is Saturday's servant or Clara.
Fortunately, after such a long time, he has become more proficient in the lingua franca, and there is no big problem in communicating with people and reading daily letters and books. Pickup
Although Du Lun had just met with Li Yu a few days ago and had a conversation, he suddenly heard Li Yu speak the lingua franca, and he was also a little unfamiliar, and he couldn't guess the identity of the other party at the first time.
However, Li Yu did not hide it, and continued, "I don't live in that box, so please be sure not to open that box, it's just a sacred artifact used for communication in the Shuangxiu Sect." ”
Du Lun did think about smashing the walkie-talkie open to see if there was a villain talking inside, and he stopped his movements in embarrassment, and after hearing the three words of Shuangxiujiao, he finally remembered why this voice felt familiar.
"Prophet Merlin, are you talking to me?"
"That's right, it's me."
Durham sighed, "I remember that night you warned me that my investigation was going in the wrong direction, and that the Priest of Cornelia may have misled me about the Earl of Clyde, but I didn't listen to you. ”
"With the relationship between Cornelia and Edward II, it's not surprising that you'll trust her instead of me." Li Yu said. Pickup
"Anyway, I lost the bet," Durham said, "so here I am." ”
"Do you want to get out of this dungeon?" Li Yu went straight to the point.
"No, I have done something wrong, I have been used to slander and slander the new emperor of the empire, and his reputation will be affected, and I will have to bear the corresponding price, even if it will cost me my life." Duren said calmly.
He was mentally prepared for such an outcome.
"Although you won't die immediately, I heard that Your Majesty wants to send you to Red Rock Island."
"Red Rock Island?" The former captain of the Imperial Forest guard's eyes moved slightly, "That's right, so I can wait there for those Wing Clansmen to come." ”
"You're going to die, there aren't a few defenders on Red Rock Island at all." Pickup
"I'm not afraid of death, and I'm fighting to defend the Empire."
"But after you die, no one will continue to track down the real murderer of Edward II." Li Yu reminded.
"You should know the nobility of the city better than I do, and know what choice they will make between their own interests and the truth."
Duren was dumbfounded.
"And with all due respect, you're only going to die worthless on Red Rock Island, and those Wing Clan won't give you a chance to fight one-on-one, and they won't even remember who they killed afterwards."
"If you are truly loyal to your country, then you should make good use of your martial and military talents to make those invaders pay a greater price."
Du Lun pondered Li Yu's words, and seemed to be a little moved, and after a while, he spoke, "Prophet Merlin, do you have a way to persuade Your Majesty to let me make meritorious service?" "Chill
"Nope." Li Yu's answer was also very crisp.
After a pause, he added, "I tried to ask someone to speak for you, and I found Prime Minister Erwin, and Essos also interceded for you, but Garth was very resolute, and he was determined to send you to Red Rock. ”
"I didn't know you did so much to get me out." Durham was a little surprised.
"Now the other nobles in the city should avoid me, right, you and Sir Ilea help me like this, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be angry with you?"
"It doesn't matter, we're leaving Lionheart Castle tomorrow and heading back to the West." Li Yu said, "Are you willing to leave with us?" ”
"How am I going to leave with you? Didn't you just say that Your Majesty has made up your mind to send me to Red Rock Island? Durham was puzzled.
"I can have you taken with me, but then your reputation may be affected a lot." Pickup
Duren didn't understand at first, but soon he came to his senses, "You mean to have someone take me away?" ”
"That's right, before sending you to Red Rock Island, Garth also had you flogged, he chose Ilea at first, but Ilea politely refused, so he had to find another person."
"Who?"
"Joniel of House Harbour."
"Blackheart Joniel?" Du Lun said, "I know this person, he used to fight with people very hard, blinded one eye of his opponent, and got such a nickname, it seems that His Majesty wants to teach me a profound lesson." ”
"The execution is scheduled for tomorrow morning, when you will be taken out of the dungeon, so that my men can find a chance to rescue you."
Things have changed, and Li Yu has also adjusted his plan slightly. Pickup
