Chapter 32: Arrested
When Li Yu returned to Brattis, the battle between Ilea and the Black Hand had already ended for most of the day.
In fact, the battle lasted very short, and in less than a quarter of an hour the army of the black hands was completely crushed by the smoke and roar of cannons and muskets, and became a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, after learning the lesson of his mentor, Edra didn't rush too far ahead, so he led his cronies to resist for a while, but his struggle was to no avail.
The black hand was unwilling to surrender, and finally chose to die in battle, and before he died, he wanted to do the last thing, which was to cut down the ashes that deceived him.
But Ash saw that the situation was not good, but he ran quickly, and rolled off his horse as Adra swung his sword at him, and then Aydra saw him on all fours and run like a wild beast.
The horse ridden by the Black Hand is called Storm, Storm is upright and prime, has excellent speed beyond other horses, and runs like a storm, which is also the origin of its name.
However, this time, no matter how hard the storm tried, it couldn't catch up with the figure in front of him.
In addition, the black hand and his subordinates were already surrounded at this time, and they could only watch the ashes flee farther and farther away.
But Ash didn't rejoice for long, and when he saw that he was about to flee from the battlefield and rush into a small forest, a large net suddenly jumped out of the clearing in front of him.
Ash tried to stop, but it was too late, and by inertia, he rushed into the net, caught in the net, and then hoisted into the air.
Jude walked slowly out from behind a large tree, "It looks like the gods behind you don't care for you, or the poor fellows on the other side. ”
For the first time, Ash lost his composure that did not match his age, and he looked very dazed and even flustered in the fishing net.
"This ...... How is this possible? ”
"Are you asking how I could possibly catch you, or why did the Black Hand fail?"
Jude seemed to be in a good mood, and came to Ash with his chainsaw in his arms, and showed a slightly hideous smile.
"You are a wild beast, and wild beasts will always subconsciously run into the forest when they are frightened, because the forest is their home, and they will feel more at ease there.
"Don't ask me how I know, I used to be a beast, in order to catch you, I came early in the morning with fishing nets, of course, the woods are so big, if I choose any place, there is a high probability that I will not be able to block you."
Jude said and pointed to the sky above him, and Ash noticed a small black dot on the top of his head, which was a strange iron bird with no feathers and three eyes.
"Oh, you see it, it's a helper sent to me by my lord, it tells me which direction you're coming from, and tells me to set the trap in advance."
Ash was silent for a moment before adding, "Why, why aren't you cursed?" Selena said that she saw you drink the mead containing the curse of the goddess of life, did she lie to us? ”
"No, she's telling the truth." Jude said, "We have been cursed by your goddess, but the Prophet has removed the curse for us. ”
Instead of dispelling the doubts in his heart, Ash Wenyan looked even more shocked, "Merlin...... Merlin actually removed Valria's curse? ”
Jude nodded, "We won, and you lost, isn't that obvious enough?" ”
Ash fell silent again, and it was a long time before he looked up again and looked at Jude, "Since you've won, why don't you just kill me?" ”
"The Prophet told me that I want to spare your life."
"Why?"
"He has something to ask you."
…………
Ash was carried back to the camp by Jude, and then his hands and feet were tied to a stake, and Ash shifted his neck to look around.
It was found that he was not the only one tied to the stake, there were also some familiar faces, basically all of them were nobles from the Golden Valley who went out with the black hand.
The eyes of those people who looked at him were full of hatred, and if they hadn't been able to move now, they would have swarmed him and tore him to pieces.
Seeing that they couldn't reach him, those people didn't give up, and they were all yelling at him, along with the priest of Cornelia and the goddess of life.
Those people cursed almost every vicious word they could think of, and then they couldn't get enough of it, and some people began to spit on the ashes.
And this action also inspired the others, like ants who found honey, and all the captives turned their heads in the direction of ash.
After a while, Kung Fu Ash's body, face, and hair were full of stinky saliva.
Ash didn't speak, not because he didn't want to refute, but mainly because he was worried about who he would swallow as soon as he opened his mouth.
The torture continued until late at night, when Ash was taken out of the makeshift fenced cell and taken to a tent.
There were four people in the tent, two of whom Ash could recognize, Ilea, whom he had met before, and the stern-looking knight in armor behind Ilea, the former captain of the Kingsguard, Duren.
In addition, there was a stranger in black dress beside Ireya, whom Ash had never seen, but he could guess the latter's identity at this time.
- Merlin, the famous prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect.
Ash still doesn't want to believe that someone can remove Vallia's curse, but he has to admit that the stranger in front of him and the god behind him are indeed very powerful.
As for the fourth person in the room, Ash didn't have any impression of her, and it seemed that she should be the counselors at Ilea's side.
Ash struggled to raise his head, not wanting to show any fear or timidity in front of the followers of the Church.
He even took the lead in speaking and said to Li Yu, "Do you have something to ask me?" ”
Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, he continued, "Then you have found the wrong person, I am not those guys outside, my faith is firm enough." ”
Li Yu ignored his words and said curiously, "You are the messenger, did Cornelia use the bloodline potion to awaken your special ability to run?" ”
Ash closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.
The Prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect continued, "That girl named Selena is your companion, she is an assassin, she has also been modified by bloodline potions, and can infiltrate many places silently, and even easily kill enemy generals.
After a pause, Li Yu continued, "And this means that there should be a third person who can release the curse, and the previous curse was written by him. ”
Hearing this, Gray's face finally changed.
"Where is he now?" Li Yu asked.
"Aren't you the prophet of Saturday, why don't you ask your own gods?" ”
