Chapter 282 135. Believe
It was no longer unbearable for Kragg to work as a hard laborer for several days. He threw away the shovel and came to a worker under the gaze of the large element. He looked down at him and said: "I'm telling you, civilians. Lord, we want to see him."
"The Lord will not see you,"
The thin black worker said coldly.
“Do you know our identities?”
"I know, prisoners, invaders, people who kill civilians." The thin black worker became more and more excited as he spoke, and he gripped the shovel tightly: "Harvey is only seventeen years old. He has experienced losing his family, becoming a beggar, and being a slave. After being rescued by Lord Annan and just about to start a new life, he was killed by the knight who was supposed to protect him but never showed up!"
"That's not us..." Grafit wanted. excuse.
"What's the difference?" he asked.
The five prisoners fell into silence, and Krag did not want to bow to the civilians: "It's just a few civilians who died..."
"The Lord attended the funeral of 'a few civilians' and offered a Sunflower." The thin black worker said harshly, picking up the shovel and not wanting to talk to these bastards anymore: "The people who were loyal to the kingdom were slaughtered by their king... So now we only listen to the words of the lord."
"...We seem to have pushed Xingyue Bay to the other side with our own hands." Graffi walked up to him and said.
“Don’t be deceived by him.” Krag, who was contradicted by the civilians, blushed and said bravely: “Have you ever seen a civilian who talks like this? He is just the one sent by the rebel king to keep an eye on us. . ”
Only they themselves know what the truth is.
The five prisoners worked from morning to night. As their bodies recovered, the overseer praised the five of them for doing the work of ten people -
No one was happy about this except Hiller.
During lunch time, the five people holding the dinner plates were divided into three groups, which were also their factions.
Graffi, the only true noble among them, inherited the baron from his ancestors. He and his henchman Krag were together, and Krag would do whatever Graffi said. They just want to escape from here.
Badu, his throat was injured in that siege, and he is still unable to speak and no longer gregarious.
Shearer, a talented knight who climbed up step by step from the lowest level. If it hadn't been for this wrong war, his future might have become the background of a legend.
Grafit comes from a knight family and is loyal and honest. If his father hadn't been a knight of an earl's family, he would never have been able to become an elite in his life.
Hiller and Grafit stood together because they shared the same confusion - what they saw and heard in Xingyue Bay made them doubt whether the Knights were really wrong.
Three pieces of bread and a portion of broth made them just enough to eat without being hungry. After eating, they continued to work until the evening, when the deputy warden showed up and led them back to the "dungeon".
It is said to be a dungeon, but it is actually the prison in Betar's Redemption. But it is said that there is really a dungeon underground - it is used to imprison real criminals. For example, it is said that a group of pirates were imprisoned there, and many of them have died.
After the Knights retreated, the roads between Star Moon Bay and Breeze City were restored, and long caravans blocked the noisy streets. The five prisoners were led by the deputy warden to another route.
They passed a building that looked like a mansion, but there were rows of figures sitting in the windows.
"What is this?"
The deputy warden who heard Hiller muttering to himself replied: "The place where we study."
"The Academy...?"
< br>“The lord said it’s a school, and we study here.”
“What do we study?”
"Farming, arithmetic, carpentry and so on." "You still need to study farming?" Kragg's harsh words floated from the side.
“You still have to study to fight?” the deputy warden replied sarcastically.
Krag looked at the cold Graffi, gritted his teeth and continued: "Ah... a civilian who can't even read..."
Shearer and the others thought that Krag was going to be unlucky. , but the deputy warden raised his head proudly: "Oh, you don't know yet, Lord Annan invited a mage to make all the residents of Xingyue Bay proficient in common language."
At this moment, the deputy warden, who was just an ordinary person, seemed to be looking down arrogantly from the clouds, while the elite knights were humbly buried in the soil.
Let nearly 10,000 residents become proficient in Common Language...
Suddenly, a gorgeous magical light rose from the beach and bloomed in the night sky.
The deputy warden stopped and said to the five prisoners whose faces were shining brightly: "You should also watch for a while, this has something to do with you."
"Why ?”
The surrounding residents rushed to the bay, and the deputy warden gloated: "Master Annan is handing out medals to the guards who defended Xingyue Bay."
"Where is your medal?"
"I was guarding the dungeon at that time." The deputy warden shook his head regretfully, but then he proudly took out a golden medal that shone in the light: "But I participated in the Frost Giant Defense War. This medal It’s the first medal in Xingyue Bay.”
The five prisoners looked from a distance and saw that Xingyue Bay luxuriously issued hundreds of medals to the guards and civilians.
Shearer and Graffit are getting more and more confused... Let everyone read, go to school, have a job, issue them medals, and even let magicians perform for them like circus performers... Then Why would a lord do this for the common people?
With questions in mind, Shearer continued back to the dungeon after the magical fireworks ended. It was supposed to be the end of the day, but on the way back they met the lord.
He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a mage's robe, with mysterious and noble black hair, and a gentle and handsome face that makes people want to get close to him.
At this time, Hiller suddenly rushed towards Annan. An elven guard emerged from the shadows, blocking him with the earth elemental. Hiller stopped and shouted to him: "Your Majesty, King of the North, I have a question!"
The black eyes fell here, Hiller continued: "Why do you betray the kingdom? ?”
“I have never betrayed this country.” Annan looked at him calmly: “I warned the royal capital that the rat men were coming, but the royal capital wanted me, and you attacked me foolishly, and I was forced to do so. Fighting back, that’s all.”
"Are you serious?"
"You shouldn't ask me this question, you have to ask yourself."
The deputy warden came from behind and greeted Annan with confusion. Hiller and the prisoners returned to prison.
The deputy warden, who guessed something from Annan's attitude, stopped holding the prisoners, and Hiller stood in the open space of the prison. This is where "Andy" meditates.
The surrounding high walls blocked his view, but did not block the starry sky. Then he believed in the King in the North.
What that boy did for this town, these people. The locals despised them and respected the lords. Those who can't hold a weapon, and even recruits who are recruited temporarily because of them.
But it was too late...
"Father...Natalie..."
