Chapter 19 I'm so hungry
Soon after arriving at the destination, the guards opened the door of the dungeon, Callahan pushed Zhao Qiankun in and closed the heavy iron door.
The dungeon of the castle was built in the basement, dark and damp, with only a pair of straw in the corner for the prisoner to sleep. There was a narrow vent at the top of the wall, and the moonlight shot in from the window, giving the dim basement a hint of light.
"I want to trap me in this broken place, so I look down on others..." Zhao Qiankun curled his lips and punched the wall with a punch. With a thud, a clearly visible fist print was printed on the hard bluestone brick!
But then, Zhao Qiankun began to shake hands with a bitter face...
No matter how powerful the King Kong Skeleton is, it can’t help but hurt your flesh…
It's just ten days, just wait. Anyway, I've endured it for a hundred years, so it's not too late for these ten days.
I was speechless all night, and the next morning, there was a movement at the door.
"Master Stanley, the master has instructed me not to visit prison at will..."
"What are you doing? Such a big thing happened and I suffered such a great injustice. Can't I investigate it myself?"
"But, this one is..."
"This is... the detective I'm looking for... Don't ask so many questions, please open the door quickly! I'll take care of what happens!"
The guard had no choice but to open the iron door.
Zhao Qiankun rubbed his eyes and saw that Stanley was coming in... and Xuelian!
"What are you doing?" Xue Lian rushed to the front in two steps and checked Zhao Qiankun's body up and down: "How about it, you're not injured, have they been tortured severely!"
"Don't worry..." Zhao Qiankun stretched: "I still have to participate in the Tower of Judgment ten days later. I should not be punished during this period..."
Seeing Zhao Qiankun's face vaguely expectant, Xue Lian frowned and said, "You guy, can't you be so playful and curious, want to try breaking the tower and deliberately take the charge, right?"
Zhao Qiankun shrugged his shoulders and refused to comment.
"No matter what, I'm sorry for you, Zhao Qiankun..." Stanley looked apologetic: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry, I will definitely save you!" As he said that, Stanley lowered his voice: "After all, this is Liberty City. When I find a chance, I will release you. If you secretly return to the Lion Heart Empire, it will be difficult for them to find you..."
"Don't!" Zhao Qiankun refused and pointed to the fist mark on the wall: "Do you think I really want to leave. Can your broken dungeon be trapped? If I leave, how do you explain?"
"I am also the son of the marquis after all. You have to blame him for his crimes. They will not do anything to me!"
"It's so naive!" Zhao Qiankun sighed: "In order to kill the prince, that killer deliberately took away your sword first. Why? It's not to blame you! You were their target, so it would be good that I'm here to hold on. If I really run away, you will be the target of public criticism. At that time, even your Marquis' Daddy might have to get in!"
"Then, are you just waiting to break into the tower?" Stanley frowned and said, "The Tower of Judgment we saw before was just a regular configuration. Ordinary victims can't find characters that are more powerful than those tower guards, so no one usually uses the rules for substitution. But this time, the emperor personally substitutes, and they must be top master monsters. If you are strong, it's impossible to break through the ninth floor in three hours!"
"Then you go and help me settle it!" Zhao Qiankun spread his hands.
"Me?" Stanley pointed at himself: "How can I settle it?"
"Just prove that I am innocent!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "As long as the real murderer is caught, I can prove that I am innocent. I don't have to break into the tower!"
"You mean, we want to find the real murderer in these ten days?" Xue Lian sighed: "Isn't that looking for a needle in a haystack..."
"It's okay if you can't catch it or not. Anyway, I will definitely pass the level by then!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and spread his hands. Xue Lian was so angry that she rushed up and pinched his face: "Don't say such stupid words, I won't let you enter that tower!"
"Yes, Zhao Qiankun..." Stanley also advised: "You only saw the first five floors that day, and the four behind them were all more terrifying master monsters, not as simple as you thought..."
"More than a demon?" Zhao Qiankun rolled his eyes.
"The Tower of Judgment is not a one-on-one fight!" Stanley shook his head: "You only have one person on each floor, and you can't bring weapons and props, but your opponent can arrange a lot. When you encounter a mechanism killing formation that cooperates with tacit understanding, no matter how powerful a master is, you can't stand it. Moreover, this time it's your Majesty personally summoned it, and there may not be any monsters of super specifications! You are alone and unarmed and have to break through the ninth floor, which is not that easy!"
As he said that, Stanley whispered: "And don't forget that the Tower of Judgment is different from ordinary battles. Sometimes, they don't need to defeat you. As long as they delay until the time comes, you will be sentenced to death. Meeting those who are particularly good at dealing with may be more difficult than facing experts!"
"That sounds even more interesting!" Zhao Qiankun smiled on his face, and Xue Lian was anxious: "Can you be more serious? We will all help you find a way!"
Seeing that the little girl was really anxious, Zhao Qiankun shrugged: "If you really want to save me, you can find a breakthrough from another perspective. Why did he, an Eastern killer, come to Irion to kill people from thousands of miles away? Is it still a great prince of Irion? Is there someone who is going to invite me? Who is the most beneficial to the eldest prince who died and Stanley was imprisoned?"
Stanley's eyes turned: "Queen Helena! Monet family!"
"I didn't just say that I was angry with her last night!" Zhao Qiankun smiled with his arms in his arms, "This matter is absolutely unrelated to the stepmother and queen!"
"But, do we need to investigate the queen?" Xuelian frowned: "Will the emperor still be here to be our obstacle?"
"Don't worry, the emperor is not stupid either!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "He was so sad last night, but his eyes were constantly turning. Do you think he applied for an increase in difficulty to kill me? He doesn't know how much strength I have. Is it necessary?"
"You mean... His Majesty the Emperor deliberately gave us time?" Stanley's eyes lit up: "He is just to let us find out the real murderer?!"
"I guess it's about the same!" Zhao Qiankun stretched out his hands and put them on their shoulders: "So, whether I can get out is for you to be blessed!!"
"Don't worry!" Stanley slapped his chest, "Even if I try my best to do this, I will definitely rescue you!"
"Don't talk about those false ones!" Zhao Qiankun's face was serious, "There is still a serious problem in front of him!"
"What?" The two of them suddenly became nervous.
Zhao Qiankun looked into the eyes of the two and said seriously: "I'm hungry, have you brought food?"
