Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 114

Lie......

I don't know if lying is natural or something learned...... It must be nature. The evasion of responsibility, the escape from a bad situation. What I know...... What I felt...... Lying is addictive, and you will unconsciously tell lies often.

Later, I didn't want to be a liar, but it became natural. When I found out that I often lied to people every day, I chose to talk less. Perhaps this is the only way to make the lies a little less.

Sensing the hostility around me, Tulayan quietly tugged at my cloak. I glanced back at the archbishop. There was a slight incomprehension and surprise in his eyes. I smiled at him, trying to smile as easily as I could.

Actually, I still kind of admire this guy named Luke. How did this guy find out about me after his attempted violence that night?

I smiled at the man, and then said solemnly, "You said I was in the basement with your woman. You want to see your evidence. Like some liquid I left behind or something. ”

"If you don't have one, hopefully you find a witness, like your friend, someone you know or don't know. See what happened to me with you woman. ”

"You said that I was passionate with your woman in the basement, that is, you saw it, and not only did you not stop it, but you also appreciated what posture I used with your woman. You'd better describe the details, and I want to know, we all want to know what you thought at the time? Since you have chosen to watch me and your woman passionately and remain silent in a place where you can expose me in public, are you afraid that you will hurt the king's dignity by catching me in public? ”

"Even though I've been here for five days, I don't know you at all, not even your woman. Hum...... I would like to know what the woman you are talking about is like...... What kind of woman is it that makes a high-ranking officer like me happy to mess with her, but actually lives with such a lewd and lowly vulgar person as you? "I started the personal attacks...... Such rhetoric often works.

"Since you can appear here, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, you are just a subordinate, even if you lie, there is no dignity to lose. I'm different...... I don't know who you are instructed to do! But this thing...... You insulted me! Even though I am innocent, you insult me! I pointed to his face.

"I beg His Majesty's permission to take her with me if I have been with his woman since I came to your country...... In this man's words...... Defected from Kurtilas. I'm willing to keep my head. "I looked at the king's face. A gleam flashed in the king's eyes.

I looked at the man again and said, "If this man lies...... His Majesty will give me a fair answer, right? "My eyes were as murderous as I could.

"You say...... Your woman...... To be treasonous! "I turned my eyes to the king.

"I ...... I'm just, she's just...... She's a watery poplar woman! She said she was going to get out of here! She's going to abandon me! ”

I looked at the king. The king frowned. His gaze crossed me!

I followed his gaze and looked back at Archbishop Fao, who frowned. I nodded lightly at him.

"This ship is a cargo purchased for our king and the church, and it has been sealed. I can't escape what happened now. "I turned to the king and said." Even if I am innocent! I gritted my teeth and dodged to the side, giving way to the boarding deck.

"Hmph...... I believe you. The king glanced at me, snorted, and looked at the guy next to him. Your woman, Winnie, I'll send someone to find you. This farce can be over. You've lost a lot of time. ”

"But...... Your Majesty! The man was about to say something, but the guards next to him pinned him to the ground.

I opened my mouth and closed it again. But I said, "Your Majesty, I can accept the punishment, but not because of the dignity of the reputation. ”

Dalin narrowed his eyes, and he glanced at me. "Then it will be done for you." He waved his hand. A team of Kultilas Royal Guards ran aboard the boat.

I know what he meant by the way he looked at me, I guess it was...... I hope what you say is true, and if the guards find anything, don't blame me for being rude.

The guy who had been pinned to the ground stopped struggling when he saw the guards rush to the boat.

After a while, the guards came out of the boat. Dalin nodded.

"Lord Fao! A little episode just now, I hope it didn't affect your mood, and I wish you a smooth journey. We'll see you later. King Dalin smiled at the archbishop.

"Mr. Bill, for what just happened...... I apologize. I hope you don't feel bad about it. Bon voyage. His smile was noticeably different from the one he had just smiled.

"I am grateful for His Majesty's justice." I saluted him.

He waved his hand at us. Lord Fao began to board the ship.

"This man...... I'll leave it to you at your disposal. Daelin looked at me and said, "Kul Tiras doesn't need that kind of person. ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I...... I'm ......" The guard strangled him in the mouth with a rope. Then he tied him tightly.

The ship slowly left the harbor and sailed out to sea.

I didn't state what happened to the archbishop, I'm not in the mood right now.

Tulayan stood beside me, and he looked at Kul Tiras, who was drifting away, his restless hands scratching at the paint on the ship's railing.

I didn't say a word, and he didn't speak. Of course, even if he spoke, I was in no mood to pay attention to him.

"Has your ship sunk in the sea?" I stood beside the captain, the man's hair still greasy as ever.

He looked at me quizzically. "What did you say?"

"Have you ever seen a ship sunk? In this sea. I explained.

"No, I have been sailing for more than 20 years, and the waters around here are still relatively peaceful, as long as you abide by the rules of this sea area." He said.

"Is that the tide you are talking about?"

"No...... Not only that, but the water in this area is still very deep, but one thing is good, there is not so much turbulence underwater. ”

"Elsewhere? Like Gilneth? Or something else...... farther away. ”

"Of course."

"How did your ship sink?"

"It's not just our boat, it's someone else's. For example, pirates. Of course, there will inevitably be casualties when there is a conflict with pirates, but there are also storms and hurricanes. The mood of this sea is always gloomy and uncertain. After all, the Sea King is a god, and God's mind is difficult to fathom, but it only suffers people like us who rely on the sky to eat. ”

"Have you ever seen a ship scuttled?"

"What did you say?"

"Scuttle your own ship."

"Why chisel? We're sailors, we're rough people with little culture, but we're not stupid. He stared at me with slanted eyes.

"Then look at the weather, before we get to Dragonbone Harbor, we might have a cold hurricane?"

"That's not for sure, my lord. Poseidon is a god, his mood changes too quickly to be predicted, and even if you know that there will be a storm tomorrow, you can't help it, after all, this vast sea is not what you want. It's not me bragging, if you want to make your boat smooth, be smoother. The best way to do that is to pray that it doesn't get angry. He babbled on and on as if he were talking to himself.

"Is it useful to pray?"

"Of course it works, but it's not a different prayer, it's a solemn sacrifice."

"Do you have to do it before you set sail?"

"Sometimes I pray before I set sail, but I also crammy when I have an emergency on the way."

"Does this work?"

"Yes...... It will work, too. ”

"How do you sacrifice it? Killing pigs and sheep or ...... How to give tribute? "I want to make sure what the woman said is true or not.

"There will be ...... Of course, there will be these most basic things. He said.

"What if you're in big trouble?" I was not satisfied with his answer.

The captain looked at me and smiled. He said, "Didn't you tie up a guy before you boarded the ship?" ”

"You mean, with that guy?"

"The king himself speaks, and God can feel it."

"Will your sea god accept this kind of person?"

"It is best to make sacrifices to pure people, but of course it has to be voluntary. Volunteer to serve the god of the sea. And, of course...... Well...... Those who are wicked. The punishment of the people of Kul Tiras, those who are punished by the god of the sea, will fall into the deepest and darkest hell under the sea, and suffer for eternity. ”

"You've been ...... for more than twenty years How many times have you used it? "I think this issue might be a little sensitive.

"Hmm...... I don't remember exactly. ”

"Why didn't you pack this kind of living sacrifice when you came last time?"

"It's not always happening, after all, some prisoners in prison don't die for their crimes."

"How useful can this guy in the cabin be if there's a storm?"

"What did he do?" The captain smiled.

"Slander the aristocracy. Domestic violence. "I thought about it and summed it up in a few words.

"It's not a great sin...... Well...... It is better to use living people than to use pigs, cattle and sheep. The captain said.

I slipped into the cabin and stood in front of Luke.

"I just heard about your Kul Tiras's custom of going to sea." I stared into his eyes. "You know what it means to put you on board."

He struggled like a bean worm.

I smiled. "I'm interested in you." As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger from his waist.

His eyes widened, and I saw tears welling up in his eyes. It's not my pleasure to torture people. I'm not that perverted. But if I want to get some information out of the other person's mouth, I really haven't learned the kind of method that works without being rude.

I'm not going to tell him I'm going to ask you, because then he might be a little prepared!

I raised my dagger and stabbed it in his ear.
