Chapter 166: Message of Despair

Qi Lang is not a gullible person, but he still accepts Marcus's statement.

After such a long period of contact, Qi Lang already has a deep understanding of this seemingly stupid Marcus. At times, his behavior does seem so strange that it makes people suspect that he has two completely different faces. But he was kind, especially when dealing with all kinds of animals, and the look in his eyes was no different from that of an innocent child - of course, those animals should be alive, not yet roasted to oily appearance.

Marcus's brain is probably a bit extraordinary, or more direct, with some intellectual deficiencies. But as a king, he doesn't have to be the smartest man, the key is that he can choose the right people, listen to the right opinions, and more importantly, he should be full of good intentions.

However, for the time being, if Marcus wants to become Henry XI one day, he must first be able to return to the castle of Asaph without any problems. The hope of finding reinforcements from the town of Vache has been dashed, and it is estimated that more difficulties will await in the next three to five days. Creden will definitely not rest on his laurels, and they will definitely send more masters to chase after him.

This difficult task has now completely fallen on Qi Lang's head. He had nothing to rely on, he had to rely entirely on his own strength, carry this big burden on his shoulders, move forward bravely, and go alone.

However, before officially leaving this bloody hell, Qi Lang still wanted to try to find another look, he didn't want to find any survivors to verify whether his speculation about this tragedy was correct. He wanted to find some spiritual ore to see if he had a chance to advance to the rank of a beginner martial artist, so that his chances of victory would be much better when facing Creden's pursuit.

Qi Lang knew his own situation very well, and from the calculation of the accumulation of spiritual power, he must have reached the standard of promotion, and what he lacked now was only to use the spiritual power ore to stimulate that powerful energy and complete the crucial fight from quantitative change to qualitative change. However, that would require a large amount of mid-grade spiritual ore, probably as many as a thousand.

Intermediate spiritual power ore is not so easy to get, otherwise there would be no such rule, slaves only need to collect ten intermediate spiritual power ore alone, they can get rid of slave status and find a normal job as a free citizen. But there were still people who succeeded, and in the space of those three years, more than fifty slaves were reborn with it. If the spirit ores hadn't been hauled away, they should have been stored in the huge cavern in the middle of the cliff.

Sure enough, when Qi Lang walked around the storeroom, the mid-level spiritual power ore was hiding under the broken round table, but there was only one, which should have been accidentally lost there in the chaos of the slave uprising. The slaves must have vented here fiercely, and the thick and heavy iron gates were smashed apart, and the cave was a mess, and the broken weapons and twisted iron frames were mixed together, and there was coagulated blood everywhere, which was really shocking.

Qi Lang retreated in disappointment, but just as he was about to turn to leave, he unconsciously glanced into the low stone cave next to him. He remembered that the cave was called the Den of Love, an affectionate name given to it by the vicious guards, but in reality, it was only a temporary shelter for the seriously ill before they were thrown into the crater, and the so-called Sacred Love was nothing more than a clear deception.

The iron door was open. The huge iron lock had been broken, and it lay cold on the ground.

Qi Lang hesitated slightly, and finally walked in.

The cave was not much larger than a normal slave dwelling, and although nearly a hundred sick and weak slaves were to be sacrificed before the New Year, the caretakers were not kind enough to choose a more spacious and comfortable room for them.

It is probably that too many unjust souls have gathered here, which makes the whole stone cave even more eerie and full of horror. The oil lamps on the walls were still flickering on and off, and the whole town had run out of fuel, and it seemed that it would not last long.

"This shouldn't be a place for people!" Marcus only stood behind Qi Lang and glanced at it, and shivered all over, "This is too shameless, this is too despicable!"

Qi Lang walked in without saying a word, and as he walked through the cave door, he found that he had to bow his head to pass through - it turned out that with a normal life, a slave could grow as tall and strong as an ordinary person.

This cave is different from the others, as the walls are covered with curse words. They knew they were going to die, and they no longer had to heed the guards' demands to keep the walls of their homes tidy. Most of the words on it are bizarre, and almost all countries and races in the world have written in them. Some of them were written in blood, others were carved out of sharp stones, and almost all four walls were covered with the words of resentment. But what Qi Lang really noticed was the small print under the kerosene lamp:

"If there is any god, he will have to ask for my forgiveness!"

The reason why Qi Lang noticed it was not because the light was the best there, nor because its handwriting was more neat, but because it was actually engraved in the language of a barbarian!

For slaves, the language of the Brute was supposed to be their second language. Although they were forced by the guards to study with those priests for two hours a day, most of them could only speak to the level of comprehension, and those who were a little more comprehension could reach the level of reading, and if they could speak and write, it was one in a million.

As for Qi Lang himself, he couldn't tell why he had such a thorough grasp of both the Barbarian Ghost Language and the Middle-earth Language, it was probably related to his early education, after all, at that stage when the Zonghao Kingdom was extremely strong, they traded with the Caucasian race very frequently, and parents with a little knowledge would let their children learn this language from an early age. But unfortunately, Qi Lang's memory has been damaged, and he only remembers some scattered fragments of the past, although those skills have been engraved in the bones and indelible, he can no longer tell.

However, regardless of whether it was for this reason or not, Qi Lang was still very sure that if he wanted to leave his last words in this world, he would definitely write it in Middle-earth, and it would never be a barbarian language, absolutely not!

And this message was written in the language of a brute......

Does that mean that it was a white man's last hand?

Qi Lang leaned in, wanting to see more clearly. And at this moment, the prince's humble voice rang out behind him: "'If there is any god, he will have to ask for my forgiveness'! ”

Qi Lang snorted with his nose: "That's because you haven't faced true despair, Your Royal Highness the Prince. It is despair that will not see the light of day, as if you will sink forever in hell, and you will not be able to get out of the sea of misery for a hundred, a thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Marcus fell silent, as if imagining the pain and despair, but probably he always felt that the pain was greater than holding the broken specimen of the phoenix butterfly in his hands, so he just let out a long sigh: "What a poor boy he is." We in the Luhmann Empire can't afford to have such a poor child anymore. ”

"What?" Qi Lang raised his head in surprise, "How can you conclude that he is a child?"

Under the faint light of the oil lamp, Marcus's face was tinged with a yellowish smugness, but he still managed to maintain a sad look: "Although it is difficult to carve letters on the wall, and it is easy to make the letters crooked, the spacing structure still shows this." Henry Sr. criticized me for my fault more than a decade ago, but that is a common mistake that children make, we are too young to calculate exactly how much space each letter takes. Look, the 'G' and 'O' are all squeezed together, and that's what I could only control when I was ten years old. ”

It seems that Marcus is right, the writing on the wall should have been left behind by a poor child, a poor white child. For some unknown reason, he was taken to a slave camp by relatives of the same race. He must have been too thin and small to bear any of the demands of labor, so he became a sacrifice.

Look at the notches on the letters, which are now visibly yellowed and covered with black stains, and are probably left on the walls for some years, ten or twenty years. It is estimated that he only left such a word full of resentment in this world, and he lost his life in the crater......

But in any case, the tragedy has ended, and in the explosion of rage, the Vache slave camp has now become a dead town, with its tall iron towers and mountains full of caves, all of which have become a sign of horror that has passed. Qi Lang only felt fortunate about the collapse of this hellish city, without any nostalgia, and Qi Lang felt even more happy about the tragic death of the imaginary guards. There was no need for the decree of the future Henry XI, the slaves were free, and no one would endure the whip raised high, and no one would be thrown into the molten rock for those vain excuses.

They are already free!

It's time for Qi Lang to pursue his own freedom. Yes, he has already figured it out. He wants to restore the country, he wants to rebuild the former glory of the Zonghao Kingdom! Although he is still weak, and that great goal is only an extremely slim prospect, he has already seen the faint light. Now, all he had to do was take Prince Marcus on his journey through the stars and continue to the east towards the castle of Asaph, where King Henry's promise awaited - an opportunity that Zhu Lai had earned, and the only remaining ray of light for the ancient eastern tribe!
