Working Prophet

Duren has been imprisoned in the dungeon for three full days.

He knew that he had offended the new emperor badly this time, and he didn't know what the latter would do to him. Even if he was killed, it was not impossible.

But Duren does not regret his choice, he is just worried about his wife and daughter.

The ex-Kingsguard, knowing that his visit to Garth might be in danger, sent them all out of town the night before the coronation, to join his cousin, who had a property in Elk Hollow.

Du Lun was thinking about when Shelly and Immel would arrive at Elk Valley, when he saw something flying over his head and landed on the haystack in front of him.

Du Lun froze.

He couldn't recognize what the small black box was, and when he was hesitating whether to hand it over to the guards of the dungeon, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Ser Durham."

"who?!"

The hairs all over Du Lun's body stood up. He looked around cautiously, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.

"Don't look, I'm not in the dungeon."

Du Lun felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who the speaker was for a while, and only from the accent of the other party, he didn't seem to be an aborigine on the continent of Bratis.

"Who are you and where are you hiding?!" Du Lun said in a deep voice.

However, the voice did not answer his question and said to itself, "Do as I say and we can talk.

"Now, pick up the small black box on the ground and find the black button on the side. Well, that place is slightly raised compared to the surrounding area, and there is a small pattern like a sword on it."

"Press that place while you're talking, then release it when you're done, so I can hear your voice."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he waited for about two minutes, but there was no sound from the other side.

So Li Yu repeated the previous paragraph again, but there was still no response. Just when Li Yu wondered whether the person Jude had found had not thrown the walkie-talkie in the right place.

Du Lun's voice finally sounded from the other side, with a hint of hesitation, "Are you... living in this black box?"

Li Yu is the only person on the Bratis continent who uses Chinese to communicate with the locals, so his voice recognition is usually very high.

However, his automatic translation ability can only take effect when they are face to face. If they use a walkie-talkie or a radio station, unless it is Saturday's servant or Clara, Li Yu can only switch to the common language.

Fortunately, after such a long time, he has become more proficient in the common language, communicating with people, and reading daily letters and books without any major problems.

Although Du Lun had just met and talked with Li Yu a few days ago, he was a little unfamiliar when he suddenly heard Li Yu speak the common language, and he couldn't guess the identity of the opposite party at the first time.

But Li Yu didn't hide it, and continued, "I don't live in that box, so please be sure not to open that box, it's just a sacred weapon used by Shuangxiu for communication."

Du Lun did think about breaking open the walkie-talkie to see if there was a villain talking inside. Hearing this, he stopped his movements in embarrassment, but he finally remembered after hearing the words "Sunday Teaching". Why does this sound sound familiar.

"Prophet Merlin, are you talking to me?"

"That's right, it's me."

Durran sighed, "I still remember you warned me that night, saying that my investigation was in the wrong direction, and Priest Cornelia might have misled me about Earl Clyde, but I didn't listen to you .”

"Given the relationship between Cornelia and Edward II, it's not surprising that you would believe her instead of me." Li Yu said.

"Anyway, I lost the bet," Duren said, "so now I'm here."

"Do you want to leave this dungeon?" Li Yu said straight to the point.

"No, I did something wrong and was used by others to slander and slander the new emperor of the empire, which affected his reputation. I also need to bear the corresponding price, even if I lose my life because of it." Du Lun said frankly.

He was mentally prepared for such an outcome.

"Although you won't die immediately, I heard that His Majesty wants to send you to Red Rock Island."

"Red Rock Island?" The former Royal Forest Guard Chief's eyes moved slightly, "Just right, so I can wait there for the Wing Clan people to come over."

"You will die. There are not many defenders on Hongyan Island."

"I'm not afraid of death, and I still fight to protect the empire."

"But after you die, no one will continue to trace the real murderer of Edward II." Li Yu reminded.

"You should know the nobles in this city better than I do, and know what choices they will make between their own interests and the truth."

Du Lun was dumbfounded.

"And with all due respect, you will only die worthless on Red Rock Island. Those winged tribes will not give you a chance to fight one-on-one, and you won't even remember who you killed afterwards. .”

"If you are really loyal to your country, you should make good use of your martial arts and military talents to make those invaders pay a greater price."

Du Lun thought about Li Yu's words, and seemed a little moved. After a while, he said, "Prophet Merlin, can you convince His Majesty to let me take the crime and do meritorious service?"

"No." Li Yu's answer was also very straightforward.

After a pause, he added, "I tried asking someone to speak for you, and I also found Prime Minister Erwin. In addition, Essos also begged for you. Unfortunately, Garth's attitude was very firm, and he was determined to do it. Send you to Red Rock Island."

"I didn't know you did so many things to save me." Du Lun was a little surprised.

"The other nobles in the city should all avoid me now. If you and Sir Ilea help me so much, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will turn his anger on you?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we will leave Lion Heart Castle and return to the Western Region tomorrow." Li Yu said, "Are you willing to leave with us?"

"How am I going to leave with you? Didn't you just say that His Majesty has made up his mind to send me to Hongyan Island." Du Lun was puzzled.

"I can have someone take you away with me, but in this case, your reputation may be greatly affected."

Du Lun didn't understand at first, but he soon came to his senses, "You mean to let someone kidnap me?"

"It's like this. Before sending you to Red Rock Island, Garth wanted someone to whip you. He initially chose Ilea, but Ilea declined, so he could only find someone to whip you. Another person."

"who?"

"Jonnel of House Harper."

"Black-hearted Jonil?" Duren said, "I know this person. He used to be very aggressive when sparring with others. He blinded one of his opponent's eyes and got such a nickname. It seems that His Majesty wanted to give him a nickname. A profound lesson for me.”

"The execution time is set for tomorrow morning. You will be taken out of the dungeon by then, so that my people can find a chance to rescue you."

Things changed, and Li Yu also slightly adjusted his plan.
