Knight with Wand

Seeing Leon carrying Azerien from a distance, Lohak at the door scratched his head and was confused.

But when Leon explained his purpose, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Do you really remember the emblem on that man!?"

At that time, Lohak had been entangled with those mercenaries excitedly, and was finally knocked unconscious. Naturally, he could not remember many characteristics of the guy who bought his sister.

Thinking that he might know the whereabouts of his only relative, Lohak's breathing was quickening. He quickly turned back to open the door and walked in with his companions.

Inside the house, a strong man who was tied up and stripped to only his underwear was lying on the ground, with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Hearing the door being pushed open and footsteps, the captive opened his eyes.

Seeing the young man who came in first, wearing the armor of his own lord, the knight Mamuel's mood sank to the bottom.

The loyal lord is dead, and I am afraid I will not live long

Leon asked Lohak to bring a chair and carefully helped Azerien sit down.

The noble knights of Kantadar usually speak Feru, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Leon thought it would be more efficient and accurate to let Azerien talk directly during the interrogation.

Lohak walked over and pulled up the knight captive on the ground.

Leon took out the charcoal blocks borrowed from the kitchen and drew the emblem on the buyer's battle robe on the ground according to his memory.

He might really have a talent for drawing on the ground. Leon drew the outline of the bird's wings as vividly as he remembered.

After his partner finished drawing the emblem pattern in front of the knight captive's confused eyes, Azerien sat on the chair and started to interrogate.

(Uriah) ". Look at the pattern on the ground, this bird family emblem, blue base, white flying bird, do you know which family in which area of ​​Kantadar it belongs to?"

Lohak reached out and pulled the rag out of the captive's mouth.

Mamr moved his stiff mouth, then looked down at the emblem on the ground, and then looked up at Azerien: "Boy, even if I knew, why would I tell you?"

"So you don't deny that you know?" Azerien continued to question directly.

Mamr heard this and simply closed his mouth, refusing to cooperate.

Although he didn't understand the conversation, seeing the other party's attitude, Lohak was immediately angry.

Bang!

He raised his iron gauntlet and punched hard, and he immediately bruised the other party's face and blood came out of the corner of his mouth.

However, Mamr, who was hit by this heavy punch, didn't even change his expression on his face. Not only did he not hum, but his bloody mouth smiled instead.

(Feru language) "You don't even have the strength to beat people, and you're trying to interrogate a kid like others. Just use whatever punishment you can think of on me, but don't be so crude, just bring the knife."

Mamur looked at the teenagers with contempt, and said with disdain: "Pick fingers, cut off limbs, castrate, dig out eyes, cut out noses. It's up to you, I wonder if I will say a word to you."

The other party changed these words to Feru language, and Lohak finally understood the provocation of the knight captive.

"Do you think I dare not?" Lohak said angrily,

"Please do as you please." Mamur raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

The knight of military honors who crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses was not afraid of the cruel corporal punishment that ordinary people would turn pale at the mention of.

(Uria language) "Are you looking for death?" Azerien frowned.

(Uria language) "Of course not." Mamur snorted.

"But boy, you are too amateur. Do you think I am a weakling? If you want me to answer questions, you must at least give me conditions that I am willing to do so."

Azerien: "What conditions do you want?"

Mamer said simply and clearly: "Of course, release me."

Azerien expressionless: "So you are still afraid of death?"

"No, I am not afraid of death, but it would be best if I could survive." Mamer replied calmly.

Azerien was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, tell me which noble this emblem belongs to, and I promise to release you."

"Haha, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Just because you say release, I believe you? Those untouchables wanted to tear me apart yesterday. After answering the questions, how can you guarantee that you will not go back on your word?" Mamer laughed, not believing the young man's promise.

Azerien frowned: "Since you know it's impossible to let you go, why do you still put forward such a condition?"

"It doesn't matter. You are the ones seeking answers from me, not me begging for your life. How to make me agree to speak is your problem."

Azerien thought about it and tried to lie: "Don't we let you die in a more relaxed and happy way? Or let you live comfortably before you die.

You also know that it's just a family emblem. It's not a big secret. I just need to ask more Kantadars.

Or spend some money and consult a senior herald officer. I can also know the answer, but it takes some effort."

"Then it's up to you." Mamr was still unmoved: "Since I say or not! It's a dead end anyway, what else can I say?"

Azerien was in a dilemma. What should he do if this man doesn't take soft or hard words?

Torturing directly, trying memory recovery.

He pulled his partner and motioned to help him up and go outside to discuss.

The three of them left the house temporarily and closed the door. Azerien translated the attitude of the knight captive.

Lohak was furious.

"Okay, I'll go to the blacksmith shop to find a pair of pliers, crush his dick, and then put it in his stinky mouth to see if he is really that tough!"

The boy's face turned red as he was eager to save his sister. He gritted his teeth and went to find the pliers.

"Alas, those who are about to be tortured are not anxious, why are you anxious?"

Leon reached out and held back the impulsive Lohak. Although he understood that he was worried about his relatives, he still didn't want to cut off the fastest source of information.

Being held back by his companions, Lohak had to temporarily endure the urgency, took a deep breath and asked: ".Then, Leon, what can you do to pry open his mouth?"

Leon said shockingly: "I think it's okay to let him go."

Lohak's eyes widened: "What?"

"Of course, it's not us who are going to let him go." Leon continued: "After all, although this guy is annoying, he has no direct blood debt with us.

Now the ones who really want his life are the surviving villagers, right? The most important thing for us now is to find out where your sister was sold as soon as possible."

Azerian: "But can you convince those villagers to spare his life willingly?"

"There's no need for outsiders like us to persuade him, just let the knight persuade the villagers himself, he will definitely be willing to pay for his life." Leon explained.

"Oh--, you mean, let him negotiate the ransom with the villagers himself?"

Azerian understood now.

Reality is actually very cruel.

Especially for these poor villagers.

Rather than exchanging lives for lives, if the knight can offer a ransom that satisfies the survivors, the villagers will choose between "avenging the villagers" and "getting a huge compensation".

Moreover, according to what Lohak heard from Olivia, the captured knight was knocked down by the girl when he first invaded. He has been lying in bed because of his leg injury and did not participate in the subsequent slaughter. The surviving villagers don't even know if they can find someone who has a direct blood feud with him.

Leon: "Go back and talk to Olivia, let the villagers decide the life and death of this man, and we three outsiders will not intervene.

In this way, the guy will also believe our promise. After all, if we regret killing him at that time, the villagers will not get the agreed ransom."

After discussing the explanation, the three re-entered the cell.

When Azerien informed the knight Kantadar of the conditions given, the other party's attitude finally loosened.

Just like what Azerien said before, it was just to identify a family emblem. Even if you didn't get the answer from him, you could get it from other Kantadar nobles.

It was just the difference between knowing now and knowing it later after a long time.

The three of them were very anxious. After all, the longer it took to find out the whereabouts of Sister Lohak, the slimmer her hope would be.

But Mamuel didn't know that the three were very anxious, nor did he know the relationship between them. The knight captives only thought that the family of the emblem had a blood feud with the three teenagers.

If he could really exchange his life for such a piece of information, he would naturally be willing to speak up.

"Hurry up and ask someone to discuss the ransom issue. After the negotiation, I will tell you which family the emblem belongs to." Mamuel agreed.

Leaving the prison cell, Leon quickly went to find Olivia. At present, the person who could take charge of Selva Village was the old blacksmith and she.

When he saw the blonde girl again, she was organizing people to clean up the mess in the village.

After Leon told her that the captive wanted to use the ransom to buy his life, Olivia hesitated and did not make a promise immediately.

She had to gather the surviving villagers and seek everyone's common opinion.

Soon, except for the old blacksmith who was lying in bed, all the surviving women and children were gathered in front of the prison cell.

When Lohak pushed the knight captive out of the house, Leon really saw how excited the villagers who had lost their relatives and friends were.

However, the more intense this raging anger was, the more ironic the silence of the survivors was when the knight opened his mouth to offer.

One thousand gold coins.

It was not the Cantadar gold coins, but the gold crown of Orland.

There were only sixty-three households in the whole of Seval. Even if it was divided equally, every household present and absent could get the property that ordinary young and strong farmers could save for twenty or thirty years.

In the face of survival and wealth, anger melts faster than snow in spring.

Azerian and Lohak witnessed the emotional changes in front of them, which were like a black comedy, and their hearts were too complicated to express.

It was like a cruel social experiment.

At the end of the crowd, the only ones who really couldn't let go of their hatred were the youngest children.

It was because they hadn't experienced how painful it was to struggle to survive in this world.

"Even if I was given a mountain of gold, I would not let go of the enemy who harmed my family." Lohak muttered in his heart.

Although he could get his sister's whereabouts as soon as possible, he felt a little inexplicably blocked.

Should he blame these villagers for giving up revenge because of money?

The boy was not a carnivore who didn't care about the world. He knew very well that most people in front of him just succumbed to survival.

In the prison room.

"White bird pattern, the Falcon family of Western Port, but you also drew a grid, so this emblem should belong to a lower-level knight who was loyal to the Falcon family." Mamuel replied.
