Release that Witch Chapter 32: Knight
When Brian wakes up, the first thing that catches her eyes is the off-white ceiling.
The sun shining outside the window is a bit dazzling. He closed his eyes a little and opened it again. The scene in front of him still remained unchanged.
It's not a dream, he thought, I'm ... alive? He tried to move his body, but found that he could only shake his fingers, and his whole body seemed to be hollowed out.
Then he heard someone shouting, "He is awake, go and inform His Royal Highness."
His Royal Highness? Brian feels like a paste in his brain, thinking much slower than usual. By the way, how did you faint? It seemed to be pierced by a poisonous snake in his chest, and he was going to die soon. At the last moment, a ghost-like woman suddenly appeared, defeating the enemy in an incredible way ...
A maid soon reached up to lift him up and leaned on the bed. The other person brought a basin to help him wash his face. Brian apparently has not experienced such thoughtful and close service, and there are young maids around him, which makes him feel a little helpless.
Fortunately, this cramp did not last long. When Fourth Prince entered the room, everyone bent down.
Brian even felt a fiery rush in his heart. He had too many things to ask, but Zhang Kou didn't know what to say first. But Roland nodded and said, "I already know your deeds, Brian, you are a well-deserved Hero."
The word "Hero" came out. Brian suddenly felt sore eyes and choked his voice, "No ... Your Highness, my friend is real ..."
Roland patted his shoulder as a comfort.
As predicted by Nightingale, after the Fierce Scar was dragged to the torture chamber, all the known things were accounted for before the warden's hands poured out beans.
The master behind this team is not his Royal Brother Royal Sister, but Elk Clan of Longsong Stronghold. Count Elk contacted the distant relative Hiller Dmitry, that is, Fierce Scar, and controlled most of the patrol members through attraction and differentiation. In addition, he also sent a good hand to replace the team as insurance to prevent accidents during the operation. The purpose of this group of people is not to assassinate themselves, but to burn down the pure grain so that they can obediently return to stronghold.
The plot resulted in the death of an innocent -- Greyhound. He tried to stop Fierce Scar's criminal attempt and was stabbed to death by patrol members. The whereabouts of the viper replaced by the snake is unknown. It was probably discovered that the castle did not catch fire in the morning, and Fierce Scar did not return on time after realizing that the plan was exposed and fled.
When Brian's mood stabilizes, Roland said, "Your friend Greyhound, he will get a funeral that suits his identity. His family will also be properly placed, and he won't have to worry about food in the future."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Brian take a deep breath, "Is Fierce Scar ... Is he dead too?"
"I'm still alive."
The patrol Captain closed his eyes in pain. He would rather not be rescued than drag him to hell. But this hope has become slim ... There is no doubt that Fierce Scar is guilty, but the crime committed by noble can be redeemed with money. As long as his uncle is willing to protect him, Fierce Scar is very likely not to die. Not even the prison.
Roland can naturally guess his thoughts, "Hiller Dmitry, which is Fierce Scar in your mouth, is a member of Longsong Stronghold Elk Clan. The head of the family is Rock King.Dmitry, Earl for Duke Ryan, and his uncle far away ... … "He paused for a moment," But these will not affect the final judgment. Fierce Scar has been sentenced to hang, and it will be executed after three days. If you can recover, you may wish to check it out. "
Brian's eyes widened sharply, "But ... But Your Highness, noble can use gold royal to atone for sins. You will not offend -- by doing this."
Roland waved his hand, begging him to be calm and impatient, "noble? Maybe for you, he is from the Elk family, and his status is different from yours. But in fact he has no title and no fief, Not even noble. Second, even if he was noble, invaded the prince's palace, attempted to burn the stored grain, regardless of the deaths and lives of more than 2,000 people in Border Town, the three evils combined would be unforgivable. "
If there is a little hesitation in the dead Roland of Tyre, Fierce Scar is totally unforgivable. If he succeeds, his foundation in Border Town's will be ruined once, and there is no chance of turning over again, which is much worse than assassinating himself directly.
As to whether this reaction will anger Longsong Stronghold, who cares? Since the other party is unwilling to do business with himself and chooses to attack the Border Town with ruthlessness, of course he cannot give in. This incident also gave Roland a warning that --'s political struggles in the world are not as familiar as they used to be. They are mostly concentrated under the table, but are more inclined to lift the table. They are much more primitive and bloody.
"Have a good rest. If you lose too much blood, don't leave the castle. I have arranged other people to perform the work of the patrol. When the Months of Demons is over, I will hold a booklet for you."
"Her Highness," Brian looked at the prince in disbelief at the latter sentence, "You mean ..."
"Yes, you will be my Knight, Mr Brian," Roland said with a smile on answer.

"Prepare -- spines!"
The long wooden rod in the Van'er stabbing takes action uses the same force and angle as the last time.
The 100th shot he stabbed this time.
A feeling of soreness came from the arm. Van'er felt that he couldn't support it. Although he thought so when he was at the 50th shot, the conditioned reflexes he trained for a week still obeyed his orders. To be honest, even he himself was surprised to be able to stay up to now.
"All -- are off!"
After Iron Axe shouted the command, there was an exhalation sound all around, Van'er also breathed a sigh of relief, put down gun, and sat on the ground with one hip straight.
Until now, he finally realized that his militia team was not responsible for running the legguards for the guards or Knight. After a week of quirky training, their practice programs gradually became more decent. For example, now, standing on the wall to pierce and withdraw the long gun -- according to the hunter's password. Although these long guns were replaced with wooden poles, the Van'er can quickly think of its role.
The logistics team will never do such an exercise, which also means that they will face Evil Beast on the wall. This kind of thing is scary enough to think about. Van'er originally intended to sneak away, but somehow, seeing the teammates training together around him, he thought about the rich meals and considerable salary every day, he was hesitant to settle. This determination.
