Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 122
It was the first time I felt like lying down was torture, I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I knew that I had been lying down for a day since I woke up. Now it feels like it's going to collapse.
Darkness completely enveloped the room, and a faint light came through the window. I'm trying to adjust my mentality, and even in order to restrain that state of wanting to collapse, I'm constantly setting myself goals for what I'm going to do when I'm free.
After countless failed attempts to adjust my mentality, I scolded that Farrell Nerta, and I kept swearing how to torture him a hundred times! Let him live rather than die.
When I heard footsteps outside again, I stopped writhing. I lay quietly and didn't look up.
The small window was opened, and after a few seconds the sound of the key was the sound of the door being opened. I twisted my face as a few people stood beside me. Billier was staring at me with an oil lamp.
I sighed, "I'm going to go crazy if you don't get me up again." ”
"You're crazy enough." He looked at me with a frown.
"At least get me up first, I'll really go crazy if I lie down again." I say.
"How long has this been going on?" He tilted his head and asked the young man next to him.
"Probably...... Well, this afternoon. He slurred.
"Isn't it normal in the morning?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, I know it's not normal, and you know it. Let go of me, boss! I begged.
"Untie him." Biller said.
When I was untied, I carefully rolled over. The buttocks were numb and unconscious.
"You still want to lie down?" Biller said in surprise.
"Now I'm afraid my heart can't stand it, my head can't stand it." I leaned up. My back was very uncomfortable, but the roll didn't make me feel much better.
"I need to report something to you." I looked up at Biller, then at the young man. "Thank you, boy."
He smiled wryly. I gave Billier a look.
"I need to ask something." Biller said. The young man consciously retreated and locked the door.
"Boss! I...... Can't remember what happened to me......"
"You're crazy."
"I don't remember anything!"
"You're really crazy, what are you going to attack that Lordaeron for?"
"I didn't attack him!"
"If you had a mirror, you should take a good look at your face now!"
"That's what he did! I didn't do it! ”
"You're kidding!"
"Didn't your people fall from the roof too?"
"It was an accident."
"You believe? I saw it with my own eyes! That's not normal! Top dog! I didn't attack him, I just went to ...... Just go for ...... Investigation! I lowered my voice.
"Go to your goddamn scout! I've terminated your mission! You're acting on your own! You're lucky to be alive now! You should thank the Light for not giving up on you bastard! ”
"That guy isn't normal! It's true! You have to trust me! He knows witchcraft! Sorcery! He can control people's minds! I sat up. Yes! Sore. I grinned.
"You're really crazy! Your brain is really bad! Bill. ”
"Trust me! Biller! I've seen this kind of witchcraft! I used to be a ranger before! It's scary! He wasn't the Count of Lordaeron at all! I vouch for my life! He really has a problem! His purpose for coming here is completely doubtful! This must be reported to the king! ”
"Debriefing? You stabbed him! The king almost jerked me off to the end! Of course you're nothing now! Originally, the king was going to cut off your head! If I hadn't carried the pot for you! You've been thrown your head into the death skull storage room now! He looked disgusted.
"Alright! Thank you, Boss! I sighed. to investigate this...... I'm really not at ease...... Boss, you know me! No matter how stupid I am, I won't assassinate him! ”
"But you did, and you thought you just scratched his finger?" He shook his head.
"You have disgraced the king! Lordaeron's face has been disgraced by you! This is a diplomatic event! ”
"Boss! You trust me! He did ......"
"That's it! Shut up! Leave this alone! Survive! Survive honestly! Don't toss me around! You're a civilian now, Bill, don't get me in trouble! He held up a finger and looked extremely serious.
I stared at his face for a long moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. "I see...... I'm sorry, boss. ”
"You can recover from your injuries!"
"I ...... When...... I can get out of here! I prayed with a pleading face.
"I don't care about that, Bill. It's a blessing for you to be alive now! Biller said.
"Can I ask you for one thing?"
"What?"
"Can you give Uther a message? It's the prince's teacher. ”
He pouted, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I want to be treated!" I prayed with a pleading face.
"The doctor here will do."
"I'm looking for a doctor who doesn't touch me."
"Isn't it good for someone to touch you?"
"I'd rather let women ...... Instead of...... Well! I waved my hand.
"Humph!" He snorted and laughed. "Wait until you have the chance. I'll tell him when I see him. ”
"Please! Top dog! I'm in pain all over my body, and my head hurts even more. I need his help. He's my best friend! ”
"Hmph, I'm in pain too!" He gestured to his left arm.
I looked at that with wide eyes.
"You it! You bastard! You're playing dumb! He raised his voice.
"No, no...... No...... Top dog! Sorry, I'm ...... I don't remember what I did. ”
"I seriously doubt you and him...... it. He said through gritted teeth.
"I need to be redeemed! I repent! He is a messenger of light! "I begged for mercy again and again.
"You have to apologize to him......"
He looked at my surprised face. "Hmph...... I was going to see you for the last time with a feeling of regret! You seem to ...... It's kind of normal now. You attacked me, and all the people who came to see you, and you fought with Uther, and if he hadn't been skilled, you would have strangled the archbishop to death! ”
"I ......" I opened my mouth wide in surprise.
"Do it yourself." He knocked on the door, and it opened. "Send him something to eat, no need to tie it up." He walked away without looking back.
I was temporarily liberated, and I was not happy at all. I screwed up an opportunity that might have been able to change the king's opinion.
Four days! It's been four days since I've been here, and the count doesn't know what's going on! What if he hadn't gone! Then I still have a chance. But what if he leaves Lordaeron!
Should I get out? But even if I escape...... What can I do? That guy, my chances of beating him are almost zero. How can I convince the king that this Farrell Nerta is a monster and that the Stormwind Kingdom is already in danger!
Edwin ...... Ally...... I remembered them. Looking out the small window, there was a star shining in the sky. I'm not an archmage, I'm not a grand prince, I'm just a guy who can be completely ignored. An ordinary person who lives in the world.
A deep sense of powerlessness filled my heart. At this time, all kinds of assumptions, all kinds of possibilities flashed in my mind. Maybe it won't be that bad? Maybe it's not as serious as you think? Maybe...... Will I change more or less in the future?
I admit that I am afraid of death, I am afraid of many things. I was never a brave man. Escape, this is the first thing I can think of, and it is also the method I will choose more unconsciously. I want to be brave...... But can I really do it?
The Earl...... I can't do anything about him! He can drive me crazy! Can I really be a dragon slayer? Savior?
Two days later, Uther pushed open the door to his cell. I suddenly didn't know what expression to put on him. He still had a smile on his face. It embarrassed me a little.
"Looks like you're recovering a bit." He broke the silence first.
"It's fine." I looked to the side. "Sit down." I pointed to the hard bed.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Not really." I looked at him. "Archbishop...... You okay. ”
"He's fine."
"I'm sorry......"
"He knows your situation." Uther said. "You...... Not intentionally. He smiled.
His words made me feel very uncomfortable. "You know the Storm Nobleman you attacked?"
"I know, I treated him." He said.
I looked at him in amazement, "What did you say!" "I jumped!
Uther frowned.
"You treat him!" I shouted, "Are you crazy! ”
Uther looked at me puzzled.
"He's not normal! Not me! It's him! It's him! I wasn't that stupid to assassinate him! He was the devil when I was able to get like this! Damn it! Uther, I know I've disappointed you! But you have to trust me this time! Have to! I roared.
"You're all going to die! will all die! Oh, my God! Damn it! It's not that I'm crazy, it's him! There is no such count in the Stormwind Kingdom! You have been deceived! Now the Stormwind Kingdom is coming to an end! They're going to be defeated in no time! And then everything will be destroyed! And then the country! I roared.
"You won't understand...... I've met your future! Every one of you! You, Archbishop Alsace, your great majesty! All of them! I've met it! ”
Uther listened silently to my roar. His composure made me even angrier.
"Get me out! Uther, I'll prove it to you! Believe me! Just like you used to believe me! I looked at his still sincere face.
"Please......" I said so lightly.
His face turned serious.
"Do you still believe in the Light?" He said.
