Chapter 17 The Ring of Snakes (Part 2)
"Where is she?" Feiyu asked word by the head of a man wearing a deer leather jacket with a scar on his little head and a black World Tree emblem on his right arm.
"Who are you...the fucking...?" The man with half of his face pressed to the ground pretended to be fierce, but the vague speech greatly reduced his ferocity, "Do you...know...we..."
"I came to find you only know who you are." Feiyu said coldly, then picked up the black wooden bow in his hand and poked it hard on his back. The man wanted to wail, but his head was pressed down. The saliva in his mouth flowed to the ground, his eyes protruded, and bloodshot.
"You...boy!!" the man shouted in grief.
Feiyu looked around. This was the alley in the old town outside the church square. He followed a member of the Black Tree Party who had left the wooden house and captured him. After subduing him, Feiyu began to question him. "Shut up." Feiyu said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! I'm afraid, I'm scared... Um..." After another beating, the man finally knew to lower his voice, "Yes, if my brothers find out..."
"I'll shoot through the first person I found out," Feiyu said coldly, "Now answer to me, where is she? I don't have much patience."
"You... don't do it first!" The man wanted to shout, but he still ate Feiyu again. Heimukou's bow body hit his face hard. He suddenly bit his tongue, and the severe pain made him struggle violently. Then he tasted the bloody smell of his mouth. Feiyu let go of the neck that was stepping on his head, and then Feiyu kicked him in the abdomen.
"Where is she?" Feiyu asked word by word.
The man was hit in his abdomen and could not even wail. He opened his mouth and wanted to exhale, but spit out a broken tooth and blood mixed with saliva. The man recovered a little after dozens of seconds. The angry blood rushed to his head. Even if he was beaten or killed by him, I would call my companion over! He thought about this and then he was about to turn around and yell, but suddenly something sharp pressed against his throat, and the sharp pain caused by piercing the skin made his mind suddenly wake up again.
Then the man heard Feiyu sigh. "Sure enough, I am better at this than torture." Feiyu said slowly. When the man saw him clearly, Feiyu was pulling out the longbow, and the arrow of the arrow on the bow hit his throat. "You better tell me quickly, maybe I can slip my hand..."
"You ask me...!" "Speak quietly." "What did you ask me to say?!" The man lowered his voice and shouted in despair, "I don't know who 'she' you said!"
"A nun, you have troubled her before." Feiyu said with a frown, with only the information he could provide at this time.
"I, I don't know what kind of nun...ah!" Feiyu stepped on his abdomen again, and the man held his abdomen and curled up to the ground. Feiyu pulled a distance and then pulled the bow all over.
"The last question," he said coldly, aiming the arrow at the man curled up on the ground, "Where is she?"
Then the man raised his hand while he was still breathless, "I, I..." the man struggled and said, his face twisted in pain, "I remembered it! I remembered it! Put the bow down and I will tell you!"
The black arrow came out of the string, but did not hit the man, but passed the top of his head and nailed it to the wooden barrel behind him. The arrow ling couldn't help but tremble. "I said! I said!" The man hugged his head and shouted, "I heard that Seve and the others caught a nun a few days ago!"
Feiyu caught the second arrow, "I asked today."
"Today? Today?" The man seemed to be more anxious than Feiyu. "Today? I don't know! I really don't know! I'm not in the same group as Seve! I don't know what they did!"
“Where are they?”
"They? Their stronghold...their stronghold was burned out a few days ago! You can go to the river to check it out!"
"I'm asking today." Feiyu repeated coldly.
"I, I remembered it!" the man said in panic. "I have a brother! He knows where the Sevina gang is!"
"Where is he?"
"He... he was shot with a crossbow a few days ago, but I can take you to find him!" the man said hurriedly, "We are not in the same group as Seve! So we can help you!"
Feiyu looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, but he had no other clues now, so he nodded. "Take the way, be honest with me! Otherwise..." Feiyu took the lead behind the man and deliberately made a sound of pulling the strings.
The man stood up in panic, "Yes, yes!" and walked forward to lead the way.
Feiyu waited for him to walk a short distance before following. "Don't be careful, unless you want to try my bow technique." Feiyu said coldly.
“Yes, yes!”
...
Kadiya walked quickly in the corridor, holding the heavy book in her arms. The torn pages were not sorted out, so a part of them appeared from the book. Two guards also followed Kadiya quickly, and the iron armor on her body jingled as it moved.
Kang Ting Kadiya recalled the introduction she saw in the book, no, this is not the most important thing. Although Kadiya knew it was like this, she still thought about it involuntarily.
The emblem of the Kangting family is a bloody shield. It is not a great nobleman and the territory it occupied is very small. The family was revitalized more than 70 years ago. Yes, it was when the beggar king Renn summoned his vassals on the "Beggar King Hill". It is said that the beggar king traveled the whole country as a beggar, but in fact he was not alone, and several knights secretly protecting him. At the beginning, the matter of how many knights were still controversial, but no matter what the statement is, these
In fact, there was a powerful warrior named Kafar Kantin. Later, after the beggar king Qiuling summoned the vassals, Renn ordered all the vassals to offer part of his flag, and then ordered people to sew these flag fragments into five cloaks. At that time, these cloaks were privately ridiculed as "rag cloak" or "beggar cloak". Renn gave these five cloaks to the five knights who protected him. They were later called "flag breaking knights", and Kafar Kantin was the chief of the five flag breaking knights.
Because Kafar was born into a small nobleman who was struggling, his glory was controversial. But he later confirmed himself with his own strength. When he besieged the capital Androlie, he was the first person to rush into the city wall. Although he was seriously injured in the end, he still killed the captain of the royal guards, the famous swordsman Lobo Froye. After the regent was killed, the kingdom was finally settled, and Ren generously gave Kafar Contin a fertile territory that originally belonged to the Froye family. The five flag-breaking knights guarded their kings for life, working diligently until they disappeared with Rennes in the royal riot caused by the Great Famine nearly fifty years ago.
If that person is Contin... Kadiya was excited to think that he must be Kafall's grandson! Maybe his son? Kadiya was not sure because his voice sounded very old. But, Oh my God, the chief of the Breaking Flag Knight! Kadiya loved knight stories since she was a child, and her idol was the king's daughter, His Highness, Princess Vidra Vayne, and of course he had heard stories about the beggar king and the five Breaking Flag Knights.
I didn't even think of the surname Kangting for a moment! Kadiya felt that she was a little relieved. First, she heard that the "Scarlet Rose" was coming to Jinhu City, and then she learned that the person she was with her last night was one of Kafale Kangting's grandsons! Kadiya felt so happy that she was almost jumping up.
But now is not the time like these! She bit her lip and told herself to restrain these childish impulses!
Now the grandson (or son) of this great knight is being framed as the murderer of innocent murderer! Kadiya bit her lip and I must stop her father!
At this time the slander appeared. Kadiya looked at the captain Pavline standing at the Duke's door with a bulging face, wearing a cardigan lined with a chain mail and a dagger around her waist.
"Miss? Why are you here?" Although Pavre was asking her, his eyes looked at the two guards behind her, as if they were asking them.
"It's not their business!" Kadiya said angrily, and Captain Pavle was also confused by the lady's tone. He couldn't give him a good look. Kadiya told herself that this slanderous guy! "I'm here myself!" Kadiya raised her chin and said.
"Okay," Pavre was helpless, "So can you please go back now? The Duke is resting."
"No! I must tell my father!" Kadiya said stubbornly, "You have found the wrong person! Mr. Kang Ting is not the murderer!"
"Kantin?" Pavre frowned, "Miss? What are you talking nonsense?"
Oh no! Kadiya covered her mouth and accidentally let her mouth go.
Seeing that Kadiya did not answer, Pavre seemed to have guessed what she was saying. "Miss, although I don't know who you are talking nonsense, the Kangting family is over. If someone tells you that he is from the Kangting family, he must be a liar." Pavre sighed and said.
"What?" Kadiya stood there in a daze, "What did you say?"
Pavre sighed, then took the book from Kadiya, and opened the page of the torn page. "This is an old version of the book, Miss Kadiya. If you look at the latest version published by Lighthouse City last year, you will know that the Kangting family was hanged by His Majesty the current emperor because they failed in the 'death battle' three years ago." Pavre's words made Kadiya stand there.
"Hang... hanged?" Kadiya looked at Pavre blankly, "But, but why? They... they are descendants of that Kafar..."
"Precisely because they are descendants of Kafar, Miss." Pavre sighed meaningfully, and then looked at the guard behind her, "You two, bring the lady back."
The two guards looked at each other and weighed the more terrifying who was angry with the two adults in front of him. A guard reached out and grabbed Kadiya's arm, "Miss, go back."
After being touched, Kadiya seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream. "No!" she shouted loudly, "No! No! What's wrong!"
"Miss! Please keep your mouth shut, Lord Duke is resting!" Pavre said with a frown.
"Kanting! Kangting is not the murderer!" Kadiya shouted. Her mind was messy at the moment. She didn't even realize what she was saying, "He! He stayed with me all night yesterday, so he couldn't kill any old monk!"
After hearing Kadiya's words, Pavre's face suddenly changed. "Miss, where did you hear this?" Pavre looked at the two guards, and the bodies of the two guards were stiff because they realized that the captain was really angry this time.
"I said! I order you!" Kadiya broke free from the guards holding her hand, "Don't catch him! He is not the murderer!"
Pavre looked serious. He was just about to open his mouth to say something, but suddenly he felt dizzy. No, it wasn't dizzy. Pavre quickly realized that he threw down the book, then held the unsteady lady, and held the wall with his other hand. The ground was shaking. Is it an earthquake?! Pavre thought in horror that although he dared to face any enemy, earthquake? This was not within the scope of his ability to deal with.
"Take the lady out of here!" Pavre shouted at the two pale guards, then pushed Kadiya into their arms, "Quick!" Pavre's roar made the two guards react, and then he turned around to rush into the Duke's room.
But at this time the earthquake suddenly stopped, and everyone was stunned. What happened in just a few seconds caught everyone off guard.
A few seconds later, Pavre was the first to react, followed by Kadiya, who broke out from the guard's arms and kicked the guard hard.
"What happened?" Pavre thought in confusion, and suddenly he heard the shout of a servant.
"What is her name?" Kadiya asked in confusion.
Pavre did not answer her immediately, and he heard it for a few seconds before he knew it.
"The smoke tower... is smoking?"
...
Joel stood in front of a stone door that was the same as the one I saw at first, but there were no eight-foot-high bones piled up here. "You also made these stone doors?" Joel asked, recalling the pale runes that flashed on the stone door before.
"No, it's not me." The old man replied with a serious expression. Since the incident before, he has been sternly wearing a face, and from time to time he would talk to himself. "These stone gates existed from the beginning, maybe they were built by the indigenous people of this underground castle. As long as the person with magic touches it, they can open it." The old man looked at Joel, "You should be able to do it, right?"
A person with magic? Joel thought in confusion that maybe he does have some magic, such as those wonderful "mercenary magic"?
Thinking of this, Joel walked forward.
"There is a cave behind the door. This door was originally buried under mudstone, but I dug it out." The old man said, shook his head in dissatisfaction, "I heard you say that they converted my basement into a tomb? It's really unpleasant."
Joel ignored the old man and reached out to touch the stone door. Although he didn't know how long he had crawled in the tunnel before, he didn't expect to have reached the bottom of the stone tower again? The accumulated dust on the stone door fell down like before, with rustling sounds endlessly, and then the door began to slowly open.
The ground was also shaking at this moment. Joel took two steps and almost stood firm. "What's going on?!" Joel asked the old man. There was no such movement when he opened the door before.
The shaking did not affect the old man at all, "I don't know." He answered calmly, and then stood on the shaking ground and continued to ponder.
But after shaking for a few seconds, it stopped, but the door was still slowly opening. Isn't it because of the door? Joel thought uneasily.
"Well, this is..." The old man was stunned again at the darkness outside the door. The space outside the door was obviously not a cave dug out in the mudstone. Joel did not speak, but walked in with a lantern. The fire of the lantern dispelled the darkness. The ground under his feet was still a stone brick floor. But he always felt that something was different, so he looked at the shadow in the darkness uneasy.
"No... something is wrong." The old man's voice came from behind.
Joel continued to walk forward, footsteps echoed in the empty space, and the dark shadows on the edge of the fire finally revealed their true colors, which turned out to be a statue of a stone chair. But the difference is that it was not a statue sitting on it, but a knight in black armor.
Joel walked to the middle of the room and looked around. Four stone chairs, four knights in black armor sat on it. They held different weapons, one leaning on the big sword in both hands, one leaning on the long halberd, one with a shield at the feet, the long sword in its hands, and the other with a warhammer.
They were all wearing black armor, and their weapons were painted black. Rust had emerged from the edges of the black armor, dust had accumulated on their armor, and the black cloaks were moldy and rotten. All this told Joel that they had been sitting here for a long time, decades, or hundreds of years.
"Is it a Black Knight?" The old man walked behind Joel, and he looked at the black armored knights sitting on the stone chair in confusion. The Black Knight was the former guard of the tomb. During the Holy Tree Army, there was no position of tomb guard, but only the black knight who went on the expedition instead of the Black God. It was not until the end of the Battle of the Gods that appeared long after the end of the Battle of the Gods.
There are few black knights nowadays. Joel thought that no one would fight for the Black God. To be honest, there were not many people fighting for the God.
"Although they knew they had converted this place into a tomb, they didn't expect that they would even let the Black Knight guard the tomb," the old man frowned and shook his head, "Do you want to resist the things in the underground castle entering the tomb? What a group of loyal people to God."
Joel ignored the old man's complaints and looked carefully at the stone chairs around him. The workmanship of these stone chairs was obviously very rough, which was far from what he saw in the stone hall before. "Let's leave here quickly..."
Before Joel could finish his words, a jingle of armor collision and the sound of weapons slashing through the air came towards Joel. Joel dodged suddenly, but still did not dodge. The weapon was not for Joel, but the lantern in his hand. The lantern made of iron and glass was shattered. Joel took a few steps back, and the flames and lamp oil in the lantern fell on the ground. The fire core had not yet been extinguished, but suddenly Joel saw a black iron boot with rust and stomped out the fire core.
