The next morning, the sky was very gray, as if an endless drizzle had once again enveloped Black Dragon Town. Having just experienced a battle that lasted for a long time, the town lost its former bustle and prosperity, and turned to a wartime state, full of patrolling soldiers and passers-by in a hurry.

Passing through the layers of sentry posts, beneath the fortress-like town hall in the center of the town, is a dark prison. It is home to many heinous criminals, as well as hostages who have been captured during the wars. Among them were Cardinal Caria and Lord Idas, and Ciris, President of the Council of Nobles of the Port of Pescara.

Accustomed to a privileged life, he had to endure untold suffering since he had been captured by the savage Illyrians a few months earlier. Due to the rainy season, the underground cells were so damp that the roofs and walls were so wet that water dripped out, and the pitted floors were filled with filthy black water. There was a suffocating stench all around, and many unknown creatures such as strange bugs and rats were running around. The day after he arrived, he began to develop ulcers due to skin allergies, and now there is hardly a complete part of his body.

When the elder was first imprisoned here, he felt like he was going crazy, and he tried to commit suicide by hitting the wall, but unfortunately he still didn't have the courage to do so. But now that he's seen a little bit away, at least he's not wasting any more energy yelling.

At this time, Siris had just eaten breakfast with a piece of stinky bread, and was curled up half-dead in a dark corner of the cell. Although the Illyrians did not beat him severely, he was even barely able to make ends meet. But he still feels that life is like a year, and he misses his luxurious and comfortable life not long ago......

At that moment, the iron door of the cell was opened with a 'clang'. A tall man in a black robe with a hood on his head walked in. Silis glanced up at him, but didn't react.

The man in black was none other than Elrens.

He looked at the emaciated and extremely thin Elder Grown, remembered the rich appearance when he had captured him, couldn't help but sneer, and walked over. He approached Busiris and crouched down and lifted his hood to reveal his face.

"It's you!" the elder let out a low cry.

Busilis recognized the strange-looking young man. It was he who led the army to attack the port of Pescara and captured himself. It seems that this young man should be a big man, he came here today to see what his purpose is, right...... Finally a chance to get out of here?!

"That's right. It was me. Elrens smiled and continued, "I know that you are the president of the council of nobles in the port of Pescara, and you may not know who I am, my name is Ellens. ”

Elrens has made a name for himself in recent years in the Balkan Wars. But not many people knew him in Western Rome. Silis listened to the other party's name. He blinked his eyes and looked a little dazed, but in order to survive, he still cautiously asked: "I don't know if Lord Elrens is here, is there anything that needs to be used for villains?"

Talking to smart people is easy to do, Elrens nodded and said, "That's right, there is one thing I need your help with, if you are willing to agree, I can send you back to Western Rome immediately!"

"Really?!"

The elder was in high spirits. The thought of finally being able to leave this haunted place and return to the warmth and comfort of home. But he also knew that there was no good thing in this world for no reason, and if the other party was willing to release himself, he would inevitably demand a great return, and he would not be willing to hand over all his property, right?

Thinking of this, he asked tentatively, "May I ask what your Excellency needs me to do?"

Ellens smiled and said, "It's simple, you don't have to take any risks, and you don't have to pay anything. Just send me a message. ”

"A message?" said Busilis, feeling more and more confused.

"That's right!" the dragon stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "I will send you back to Western Rome, and after you go back, you will negotiate a deal with the Pope, as long as he is willing to lift the blockade of the shipping routes from the southern Balkans to Illyria, then I will promise to release the two cardinals and all the other Western Roman nobles who have been captured!"

"I see...... this is how it is" was a request that was nothing to Busilis, but after thinking about it carefully, he asked: "Although I am the president of the council of the port of Pescara, I am not a big man in Western Rome, and even if I have the heart to convey a message to His Holiness the Pope for you, His Holiness may not be willing to receive me." ”

The evil dragon smiled and said, "You can rest assured, unless Gregory doesn't care about the life or death of his two cardinal masters, he will definitely take the initiative to summon you." When the time comes, if you say this, the two cardinals will surely be grateful to you......"

Primarius agreed to Elrens' request, and that afternoon, the dragon sent a boat to send the elder back to Western Rome.

The Holy See's response was unexpected, and after only three days, the rejuvenated President returned to the harbor of Mia. When Ellens arrived, he had already gone ashore and rested in a bar in the harbor in the company of several servants. I saw that he was dressed in a gorgeous costume, his face was ruddy and energetic, compared to the decadence of a few days ago, he was like two people!

When the elder saw Elrens appear, he still sat still, just nodded and said with a smile, "Dear Lord Elrens, you are here!"

The evil dragon walked up to him and sat down, and said with a smile: "The elder is in good spirits, and he should be quite nourishing in the past few days, right?"

"It's okay, as you said, His Holiness does take me very seriously. Thanks to him, I was well taken care of. ”

After a hehe, Busilis said officially: "Actually, I came back this time on the orders of His Majesty the Pope to negotiate with you as his old man's envoy!"
