Chapter 207: The Body Hanging on the Wall (Fifteen Thousand)
Nelson is no ordinary royal kid.
He did not become a waste because of the favorable conditions since childhood.
On the contrary, Nelson received the most rigorous education from an early age, not only in the supernatural aspects of the occult arts, but also in the management of national affairs, and also in learning to deal with various special emergencies.
In a short period of time, Nelson has gone from a graceful and luxurious crown prince to a beggar who can be seen everywhere on the streets, and Christina has a strange face and does not understand what Nelson is trying to do.
Seeing that Nelson didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, he obviously had become quite filthy on his body, so he bent down and got more dust from the ground, and made his hair and clothes dirty.
"Your Highness Nelson, what are you doing here?" Christina finally couldn't help it and asked.
"Miss Christina, something is not quite right in the royal city, something may be wrong, I can feel the smell of blood in the air." Nelson said with a grim face.
It was only three months since he left the royal city.
Supposedly, there shouldn't be any problems, father, queen are sitting in the royal city, although in the eyes of ordinary nobles, father is just a mediocre and incompetent waste, but only Nelson knows that under the muddy surface of his father's eyes, there is a sharp eagle, a jackal-like viciousness, and a lion-like coldness.
With the power of his father, there could never be any problems in the kingdom of Lovell.
Even if it is attacked by a hostile country, it is unlikely that it will fall in just three months.
However, the situation in the royal city is obviously somewhat abnormal now.
On the way back from the territory of the undead birds, Nelson and Christina did not walk the official road but chose the shortest distance, over mountains, rivers, and forests in order to return to the royal city as soon as possible, and to save time as much as possible.
Along the way, there was almost no contact with other people.
If you can pass through other cities in the Kingdom of Lovell, you may be able to learn some clues.
But this frustration did not last long in Nelson's mind, and Nelson quickly suppressed the feeling of frustration, and he even felt glad.
If something really goes wrong in the Kingdom of Lovell, then he, the crown prince, will definitely be drawn into the center of the whirlpool.
In situations where it is impossible to determine whether the change is beneficial or dangerous for you, it is wisest to minimize contact with other people.
Nelson only explained briefly, and although Christina didn't understand what she was worried about, she was obviously already vigilant, and Nelson was a little relieved.
He quickly took another bottle of potion out of the storage ring.
Although the mouth of the bottle was tightly corked, Christina immediately felt a strong stench, and she immediately understood the origin of the potion.
Dawn and the Church of Redemption, a potion that is very useful for burns, can completely restore the skin in just a few minutes, even if it is splashed with boiling water.
The name of the potion is Gerto...... It is made with a herb called Gertor as the main ingredient, and is refined with the secret techniques of the Dawn and the Redeeming Church.
Although the effect is very good, the potion tastes very bad.
How to put that feeling, it's like a big summer, a person who accidentally fell into a sewer that hasn't been cleaned in decades.
The rotten, foul-smelling smell is simply disgusting.
Nelson uncorked the bottle, carefully poured out a little from the bottle, not a lot, and then applied it evenly to his body, keeping his body disgusting, reluctant to approach, but not to the extent of a direct attack.
After doing all this, Nelson put away the remaining potions, took a deep breath, and looked at the royal city of Golfito City in the distance: "Miss Christina, I'll go to the city first, and if it's okay, I'll come back and inform you."
"Be careful."
"Well, I understand, if I haven't come back from the royal city for a long time, then ......" Nelson frowned slightly
Wrinkled, he didn't expect things to get serious to that point, but he had to prepare in advance.
"I know that I'll be on the road to Golfito and waiting for them to appear."
Call!
Nelson nodded slightly.
As the archbishop of the Church of Dawn and Redemption, it is convenient to talk to wise people.
Without further hesitation, Nelson hunched over with his head bowed, walked in the direction of the royal city in a staggering position, and even deliberately bent one foot and limped in order to make his disguise more like.
He doesn't mind his image at all.
Little by little, it got closer and closer to the gate of the royal city.
Nelson could already see the guards at the gates of the royal city.
At a glance, there were forty-eight guards outside the door alone.
The guards of the royal city of Golfito were not particularly strict, and the number of guards guarding the gates would never exceed twenty under normal circumstances.
Forty-eight guards guarded the gates of the city, and every person who entered and left the city of Golfito was examined with the utmost care, especially the face, which was also strange.
Nelson's brow furrowed tightly, and he silently lined up at the back of the line, because the terrible smell on his body immediately caused the other people to roll their eyes.
Nielsen also didn't communicate with anyone at all, and without knowing exactly what was going on, any communication could become a loophole for its own exposure. Moreover, the faces of the other waiters also looked quite solemn, although there was a queue of several kilometers long, but the whole team did not have the slightest disturbance, and there was no sound of chatting, as if everyone had suddenly become dumb.
The scene became more and more eerie, and from those eyes, Nelson could tell that these people seemed to be afraid of something.
It seems that if they were not forced to do so, they would never have chosen to go into the city.
There was even a looming anger and hatred on some people's faces, and even humiliation, and their eyes would occasionally look upward.
Increasingly, Nielsen could sense that something was wrong.
The queue is slowly shortening little by little.
As the distance approached, Nelson saw more and more clearly, his brows furrowed more and more, he could already see the faces of the forty-eight soldiers at the door clearly, Nelson also had a very special talent, that is...... Never forget, especially when it comes to faces.
As long as Nelson has met once, he will never forget it, but now of the forty-eight soldiers guarding the city gate, Nelson has never seen any of them, and he does not know any of them.
His throat squirmed slightly, and his mind sank vigorously, he already knew that what was happening in the royal city was probably worse than he expected.
Wail!
Suddenly, Nelson heard a hoarse voice.
It was the voice of a crow, and the sound came from diagonally above.
He subconsciously bit his lip to avoid making a bad sound because he saw too shocking images, and then his gaze lifted up a little, and the next second, Nelson's pupils suddenly contracted.
His body was like a humble worm, spasming uncontrollably.
Deep in his throat were bursts of strange sounds, like the suppressed screams of a wounded beast, and if he hadn't bitten his lip in advance, he would have let out the wildest roar.
His intestines wriggled as if they were twitching, and a strong feeling of vomiting rushed uncontrollably. In order to avoid losing control, Nelson even had to shove a dirty hand into his mouth to block the gastric juice that was about to gush out.
He saw it......
Just high on the city walls are seven long ropes.
Underneath each rope, a corpse hung from it, swaying in the evening breeze.
The corpse was crawling with crows, pecking at the carrion one by one.
The bodies appear to have been hung
For a long time, the corpse had already decomposed under the wind and sun, exuding a strong stench, and the carrion on the corpse was almost pecked clean by crows, and Bai Sensen's bones could be seen in many places.
He couldn't make out the identities of the men by their faces, but by the dirty, tattered fabric that had been broken by the crow's claws and beak......
It was the king of Lowell, his father.
It was Lowell's queen and his mother.
It was Lowell's prince, his brother.
He finally understood where the repression in the air came from.
He finally understood where the smell of blood and rancid came from.
He finally understood why some people's faces showed fear, and some people's faces showed anger and humiliation!
