Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 166: City gate
.., Dawn of the Grey Tower
When the cheese and Roland followed the little sparrow to the southern gate of the capital. They saw an unusually lively scene gathered under the city gate. The crows hovering in the sky shared with noisy passersby on the ground brought a disturbing concerto in this depressed afternoon. The shadow ... or the body of the shadow was hung on the inner side of the gate, a black noose around his neck, hanging the killer in mid-air over the gate.
Without getting close, the cheese can be sure that the person hanging on the gate is indeed a shadow. And the same does not need to be close, the mage can also be sure that the shadow is dead. The soul in that shell has left this world. The cheese took a deep breath. Although it hasn't been a long time since I met this bartender and killer, the mutual temptation at the first meeting has given the mage a deep impression.
After Sparrow saw the body of the shadow again, he lost the strength to stand. For the little sparrow, the shadow is his brother-like existence. In the days before the arrival of the cheese, this "red blood" bartender often bullied Sparrow, but more often, the existence of the shadow saved Sparrow and many children like him from the tragic fate . But now, the bartender who has not spoken to others has turned into a corpse on the city gate, and he can no longer protect the children.
The brows under Roland's brim were frowning tightly. Although the old man and the shadow had only one side in the witch's house, he knew that this man was on the side of the cheese. Moreover, Spyro was so sad that the old man could only wrap him in a wide cloak and hug him in the shadow of the street to avoid the attention of passers-by. It is conceivable that if the little sparrow did not escape to the house where the cheese was located in time, today there may be another corpse hanging here.
"When was he hung there?" Seeing Sparrow could no longer speak. The cheese walked alone to the crowd of onlookers and asked a passerby to ask. The mage controlled his facial expression very well, which made him look like another guy who came to join in the excitement without knowing the truth.
In spreading gossip, humans may have instinct talents. After the man glanced at the normal dressing of the cheese, he made a frivolous look, looked around, and whispered in the mage's ear as if he was about to say something terrifying.
"I don't know the exact time, it seems that the man was hung there just after noon."
In the afternoon ... That is to say, it was only a day after Spyro's loss yesterday that he was hung here for public display.
"It was the City Guard? What crime did that man commit?" The mage continued to ask in a low voice with the same expression and movement. It is a common practice for an army such as the City Guard to hang criminals who are guilty of evil in the city gates. Therefore, it is reasonable for the cheese to guess that the person who hangs the shadow is the city guard or the armed forces of the kingdom.
"Hey, who said no! King Wang has n’t hung people on the city gate for many years. I remember that the last time this was done, the first king killed the rebellious noble lord. Then the first king hung the guy ’s body on the city gate "Three days and three nights." The man said excitedly, "But, I think this time the matter may not be so simple. You came late and did not see it. I heard that when I first discovered this body, I kept the city. The soldiers at the gate were also surprised. It seems that this person was not the one they hung up, and some people said that they saw the soldiers sending people to ask their superiors what to do with the body. "
Although such rumored news is untrustworthy, the cheese did not understand the faces of the soldiers who kept the security near the city gate. Those soldiers really looked like they didn't know what to say. But if the person who hangs the shadow here is not a soldier of Wangdu, who has the ability and means to hang a person on the city gate under the eyes of everyone?
The cheese is a bit confused. He did not know what the best solution was in this situation. Should I pretend to walk away without knowing? But looking at the shadow's unshakable expression, the mage really couldn't bear to throw him here for these ignorant people to watch. Moreover, he believed that if the "one-eyed" knew that he had left like that, the underground leader who regarded the shadow as a trusted friend would certainly not let him go.
But if you ask the guards to put down the corpses of the shadow ... It's okay to expose your existence. This is probably a trap set by the enemy. Who can guarantee that there are no assassins who ambush themselves with these sharp edges? It ’s obviously unwise behavior to come out now.
With such tangled thoughts, the cheese walked back to Roland and them. The little sparrow had stopped crying under Roland's comfort. The child had not seen death, but the death of the unrelated person and the death of those around him were very different things. Patted Sparrow's shoulder, and the cheese looked down at the child. The little sparrow also looked at the mage, and the traces of tears and snot on his face made this small, unclean face even more dirty. But Sparrow didn't care. He looked at the cheese with a praying look. Although he didn't make a sound, he said two words to the mage with his mouth.
"save him"
At the moment when the little sparrow's lip was read, the cheese's head exploded. The mage felt something broke in his heart, and the wound was streaming out a hot flame. Reason was crushed by anger in an instant, and the cheese felt an unprecedented rage at the provocation of the enemy and the insult to his companions. But the more angry, the softer the expression on the cheese. He lowered his body, touched Sparrow's head with his hand, and said.
"Relax, I will bring him back here."
The gray robe somehow reappeared on the cheese. The costumes that were originally worn to hide people's eyes and ears are meaningless to the current mage. The cheese began to emit a terrible breath. When he stood up and walked towards the crowd, although he didn't know why, the lively people unconsciously avoided the gray-robed man wearing a hood. Although it was only a few seconds, Roland was keenly aware that behind the grey robe of the cheese, a weird pattern with an octopus-like twisted body and tentacles and a large number of eyes flickered away.
"I'm sorry sir, you can't be near anymore." The soldier guarding the body blocked the path of the cheese with a long sword crossed. Although the two soldiers wanted to ignore this horrible gray robe when they saw the cheese, but because of the responsibility of the city defense army, they still pulled out their swords and stood up in front of the mage ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Low The headed cheese saw the two metal blades shimmering in front of his eyes. He raised his head slightly, so that the two soldiers could see his eyes.
"Stop it! Let him pass!" Just as the two soldiers were about to see the eyes of the cheese, a voice rang out from behind the crowd.
Hearing this voice, the two soldiers quickly withdrew from both sides like Meng Amnesty. Since someone has issued an order, it is natural for them as soldiers to execute the order.
The cheese is somewhat familiar with this voice, he feels as if he has heard this voice. In this feeling, the mage turned his head, and then he saw a golden figure that came into the crowd.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Wizard." Lothar said with an embarrassed smile on his signature gold armor.
