Section 24 Prisoners
"Hehe, master, this matter is really important!" In my mind, Carrie laughed rare.
"Shut up!" Ashu Rufate scolded viciously in his mind. This task is indeed very important - he is responsible for holding a torch in his hand to provide lighting for the group.
There were more than ten people in their group, six of whom were armed, leading a strange man. The man was forty or fifty years old, bald, pointed chin, and a pair of rat eyes that seemed to be turning, with cunning from time to time. Ashurufate didn't understand the identity of this person for a while, but since the housekeeper was respectful to him, this person should be the lord's assistant, agent or relative, or even Hassel himself. However, according to Neil, Hassel was a demoted nobleman, but this person did not have any aristocratic temperament. That temperament and expression were more arbitrary than a nobleman - or a particularly black-hearted person.
They are now walking on a staircase in a basement, with various smells from the basement, including the smell of feces, urine and rotting flesh. If Ashu Rufate is not wrong, this is a dungeon. The entire team has two torches, one in front and one behind, and Ashu Rufate is at the end of the team.
The staircase was not long, and soon, Ashrufate's feet stepped onto the ground. With the dark vision, he easily saw the scene of this place: it was indeed a dungeon, and the thick iron railings on both sides said everything.
"Ash Rufat, please be slow, hurry up!" The housekeeper urged.Ash Rufat stopped and looked around, quickly following the team. The brief look just now made him notice that the dungeon was almost empty. There were only mice running around in each room, and no one could be seen.
"Is this woman?" He heard the voice in front of him, and the team stopped in front of a cell.
"Yes, Master... Lord Hasel." The housekeeper replied. This guy was actually Hasel, which surprised Eshu Rufate. His target was right in front of him.
"Master, I don't recommend doing it here?" In my mind, Carrie felt Ash Rufate's thoughts.
"The goal is to kill him, and it's not that you have to use poisoning." Ashu Rufate replied. There is only one exit in this dungeon, and Ashu Rufate occupied a good position for the rear. If he chooses to take action at this time, then he can definitely kill all of these people, and even make the people outside unable to hear the sound.
"But this will expose you. This task is not our goal, our goal is Pinold. If you use violence to solve problems, it will attract unnecessary attention. If you complete the task in this way, Cade will definitely be wary of it."
Ashu Rufate stopped talking, and Carrie won again.
Someone took out the key in front and opened the door of the cell. A group of men entered in a row. The cell was quite large. Even if more than ten people entered, it still did not seem crowded.
A female prisoner with light red hair was wide open, and was trapped firmly on the wall of the room by handcuffs and shackles. The other end of the handcuffs and shackles were buried deep in the rock wall. Under the light of the torch, anyone could clearly see the miserable appearance of the female prisoner. The female prisoner's clothes became ragged and covered with dirt due to fighting, with small wounds and bruises everywhere on her face and body. One eye was hit hard (I don't know if it was torture or fighting) and her entire eye circle was black.
But when the female prisoner raised her head in the fire, her eyes were still filled with anger, and even made Haser, who was in front, take a step back.
"I thought it was, it was you!" After a long time, Hasel finally spoke, and he seemed to recognize who the other party was.
Ashu Rufate, who was standing behind, also recognized the identity of the female prisoner - the light red hair, which looked like a flame, was the best feature. It was Fei.
Fei glared at the man in front of him, clenched his teeth and said nothing.
"Ha, what place do you think is here? You can find me by touching it in at night? Do you think aristocrat like me would not arrange guards and bodyguards in their own house? I don't know where you learned these skills, but with such a little ability, you can't kill me! What a foolish girl who is stupid. Hahahaha... It's just right that you came to the door, which can be regarded as a hidden danger to me! Last time I heard that you were dead, but the facts prove that rumors are often unreliable."
"Traitor!" Fei spitted out this word full of hatred from the cracks of his teeth.
"Tsk tsk..." Hasel shook his head, showing a compassionate face that was pretending to tease the other party. "This word is not appropriate. Why am I a traitor? Who have I betrayed? I am not a member of the Bin tribe, and I have no obligation to be loyal to you. To say that trusting me is the fault of your devil father. It is important to know that I have never sworn allegiance to him."
"And what I really want to say!" Hasel continued. "It's because you Bin tribes are too disunited, otherwise where would I get the opportunity?"
Hasel stretched out a finger and pointed at Fei's face. Fei suddenly tried to bite the finger, but Hasel retracted his hand in time and did not bite it.
"But it was because of your disunity that I was promoted from a knight... Now I have the title of Count. Hello, bring that." Hasel's last sentence was said to the followers behind him. Fei's eyes turned to the people around Hasel. The gaze full of indescribable and hatred like a substance made people feel a numbness in the scalp. The butler even couldn't help but take a step back under Fei's gaze.
Fei's eyes finally turned to Ashu Rufate's face. Her expression seemed to be frozen. Her eyes were staring at Ashu Rufate for a long time without moving. Finally, Ashu Rufate moved away from the side herself and avoided her gaze.
At this time, Hasel had already taken a small bottle from someone else's hand.
"So, to thank you, of course, your dead father." Hathel shrugged, "I decided to deal with you with a more kind way." He opened the bottle and placed it in a position where Fei could see clearly but not reach it. "Did you see this thing? Don't be afraid, it's not poison. In fact, this thing is a kind of... anesthetic, which can make you unable to move for several days. But there is no adverse effect."
The content of what he said was nothing scary, but the vicious tone and expression he spoke changed Fei's face.
"What do you want to do?!"
"It's nothing, I'm just sending you to meet the ghouls! I believe they will definitely help me take good care of you! This is our last meeting, and it's a pity."
After saying this, he handed the bottle to a guard. "Let her drink it all."
The two guards came up and grabbed Fei. No matter how hard she struggled, it was impossible to resist the two strong men in this situation. The bottle of potion was poured down, and Fei could only barely cough up a little.
"Okay, let's go." Hasel was very satisfied and said to someone around him. "I'll leave the rest to you. Just wait until the medicine breaks out and do it according to the old rules."
Two or three people stayed, while the others followed Hathel away from the dungeon. Another torch was left, so Ashurufate could only hold the torch in front of him.
"The moonlight is very good tonight." Hasel stepped onto the ground and looked in a great mood. "Extinguish the torch, such a cute moonlight, just let me walk back. You can go back." His last words were said to the butler. After saying that, he walked towards the other side, with only two fully armed personal bodyguards beside him.
"You guys," the housekeeper turned his head and faced his several subordinates. "Thank you for your hard work today, go back and rest. As a reward, take a day off tomorrow!" After saying this, he ignored the others and walked outside by himself. In a blink of an eye, only a few servants, including Ashu Rufate, were left here. They quickly dispersed.
"Master, it's a pity to watch Fei die like this." In my mind, Carrie reminded again.
"Remember what he said just now, 'Send you to meet the ghoul' What does this mean? Is there a hint?" Ashu Rufate asked.
"I don't know." Carrie replied. "But looking at this, I especially gave her anesthetics, which didn't seem like she was going to kill her right away. The effect of the anesthetics will take at least a short time. I suggest you..."
Carrie's voice paused, and Ashu Rufate also stopped. Because several people were blocking in front of them at this time. It can be seen from their dress that they were patrolling the guards at night.
The lord's mansion in Via City is like most cities in the world. It not only includes the lord's own living residence, but also a series of buildings such as office halls, lobbies, prisons (and even the hidden dungeon just now), gardens, etc. Ashurufate is now in the yard between the lord's residence and the lobby. Logically speaking, it is normal to encounter patrol guards on duty here.
However, the expressions and postures of these guards were very abnormal. They were simply provocative.
"You are the new Ash Rufate." The leading guard shouted.
"Yes." Ashu Rufate looked at the other person, sure that he didn't know this person. This person was about thirty years old, with an extremely tall figure and a well-melted bare arms. "Do we know each other?"
"It doesn't matter whether we know each other or not." The big man said in a very strong tone. "The important thing is that I'll see you get out tonight!"
"Can I ask for the reason?" Ashu Rufate was really curious. He was a newcomer and had no chance to offend anyone.
The next second, a powerful fist hit him, staggering back several steps, and finally sat on the ground.
"That's the reason!" The big man retracted his fist. The effect of this punch was normal, but his feel was a little wrong. It was not like hitting the human body, but hitting a stone wrapped in fabric, tough and has a wonderful elasticity. But he immediately threw the idea away. It was just an illusion. He told himself.
"Our three brothers were killed, but you shamelessly moved into their residence!" The big man pointed his hand at Ash Rufate sitting on the ground. "Get out now! If I see you again in the second half of the night, it wouldn't be the case. Why, I'm not convinced?" He let out a fierce shout. "If you want to complain, just complain! Even if you sue the count, it doesn't matter! Anyway, I will see you beat you once before you get out!"
