Release that Witch Chapter 122: Father and son
The dungeon of the castle is not as humid and gloomy as the Border Town prison. Probably Duke does not want to make his basement into a haunted house, or you can smell the disgusting smell as soon as you walk down the stairs. All in all, the dungeon is still relatively clean. Different cells have different decoration grades, some are empty, and some not only have beds, but also have wardrobe, desks and chandeliers. Probably Duke originally used this as a place to hold some noble, and the basic etiquette should be guaranteed.
Roland also found a special cell in the corner. A large bed occupies half of the room. A chain is suspended from the ceiling, but the iron chain tied to the chain is also wrapped in a layer of sheepskin. The wall There are all kinds of whip hanging. It seems that Duke Ryan has also been researched in some aspects, he thought, but unfortunately he has to leave here within a few days, and can't figure it out.
Scraff Hull, as the most valuable captive, is naturally locked in the best cell. If you don't look at the iron railings on the periphery, you thought it was a luxurious bedroom. He lives in the same room as the viscounts of Maple Leaf Family and Wolf Family, the eldest son of the Wild Rose family and the second son of Elk Family. These families and the lion Ryan together constitute Longsong Stronghold Six major family. Of course, the Ryan faction has been disintegrated by Roland, and his wife and son have been detained next door.
Seeing that His Highness the Prince appeared in the dungeon, the noble stood up one after another, and before they asked, Roland said, "Hull Earl, you can come out. As for the other people, when the ransom is delivered, I will naturally release you Go out. "
"Father," Petrov felt relieved when he saw Earl's ruddy face. He squinted at his friend and then looked at Roland. "His Highness, I don't see the name of Count Elk on the list. If he died on the battlefield, Now, the eldest son in their family should still be at Kingdom Capital. There is no one in the family who can do the job. Can I release Ryan Dmitry first and let him go back to raise the ransom? I am willing to guarantee him. "
"The eldest son of Elk Family, do you mean Jacques Dmitry?" Roland shook his head. "He is back. Not only is he back, he also came to the castle yesterday. But ... I don't think he plans to pay this ransom."
Hearing this sentence, Ryan couldn't believe it and posted it to the side of the cage, "Why?"
"He said you failed to protect your father on the battlefield. You are the executioner who killed Dmitry Earl."
"Why did he say such a thing, obviously killing his father" Ryan suddenly shut his mouth.
Roland didn't take it seriously, "You want to say that it was me who killed Earl, right?" He walked to the cell, "Your father sent someone to sneak into my castle before Months of Demons and wanted to burn the forage. Now I follow Duke and take the team Knight to attack my territory. I am just fighting back and repulsing the invaders. So am I a murderer? Who should be condemned more than the original actor Duke Ryan and the accomplice Dmitry Earl? In addition, if not Hiller's confession shows that you know nothing about the burning of the grain, and now you are dead. "
"..." Ryan was speechless.
"His Royal Highness," Petrov asked worriedly, "If no one would pay the ransom, would you execute him?"
"That wouldn't be the case, I have always been kind," Roland grinned, "probably just bring back Border Town, dig for 20 years in Northern Slope Mine to pay for it."
"What is the ransom ..."
"As a second son, I have no chance to inherit the title. Naturally, the price is not as high as Count Honeysuckle, as long as one thousand values of materials." Roland glanced at him with interest, "Why do you want to pay for him?" Ransom? "
"What value, a thousand gold royal?" Earl interrupted by the guard.
"Your son will tell you," said the prince, "Go, there is nothing to treat here. As for the second son of the Dmitry family, you don't have to be in a hurry, you can go back slowly again. Consider.
When the group left the dungeon and walked to the gate of the castle, Earl suddenly stopped. "His Highness Esteemed, I know that Duke Ryan's behavior is unforgivable, but ... his wife and son are innocent."
"Perhaps," Roland said indiscriminately. "I didn't intend to sentence them to exile, hang, or anything, they would only take them back to Border Town and imprisoned." Until the day I ascended the throne, he thought. Now is not the time for women. If they are acquitted, there will be no benefit other than to stir up the water of Longsong Stronghold. The eldest son has the right of legal inheritance.
*******************
"What did you say !?" Scraff Hull widened his eyes and looked at Petrov in disbelief. "His Royal Highness does not intend to live in Longsong Stronghold, but will leave the city to you for management?"
Back to Count Honeysuckle, Petrov immediately told the father carefully what happened in the past three days. When he heard the agency contract, Earl couldn't help it anymore. After receiving a positive answer from his son, he stood still. Getting up in a circle in the study, obviously a complicated mood.
"Father, are you okay?" Petrov asked worriedly.
"It seems that our opponents are mainly Elk Family. Except for them, the other three familiess are inferior to us regardless of their background or strength."
"What?" He didn't return for a moment.
"Op opponents!" Earl yelled, "You are so disappointing to me, Your Highness has given you such a good opportunity, have you not analyzed which of your opponents yet?"
"Uh, don't you wonder?"
"Why is His Highness the Prince insisting on returning to Border Town? Of course it is strange," Earl touched his beard, "but that has nothing to do with us, as long as this contract is really then it will be alright."
That's right, Petrov thinks that His Highness is so expensive. impossible just wants to make fun of himself. As for the reason he loves Border Town's, he can think about it slowly. But he did not expect his father's ability to accept it was so strong.
"I heard that the kid from Dmitry's family is your friend?" Scraff suddenly stood by, "You will get him out tomorrow."
"Do you agree that I spend a thousand values to redeem him?" Petrov startled.
"Think about it, Count Elk is dead, and the eldest son is unwilling to redeem the second son. In this battle, except for a few Knight, there is almost no loss. Once Jacques Dmitry inherits the title, it will inevitably prevent you from taking control ... No, host Longsong Stronghold. "Earl explained," Why is Jacques not willing to redeem Ryan? Because he is afraid that the other party threatens himself. "
Well, it was for this reason that Petrov smiled bitterly in my heart. However, he knew that his father was right. Ryan has loved long swords and spears since childhood, and he is very close to Knight in the territory. Unlike the eldest son Jacques, he thinks that the hands-on hand-to-hand loss is noble style, and he prefers Kingdom Capital's splendor. Although Ryan has repeatedly shown that it wants to be a Knight, it is under the situation without inheritance rights. Now that there is no restriction on Earl, who knows whether he will convene his Knight and kill the eldest son with one stroke? Spending money to redeem someone who was restless, Jacques's decision was straightforward and ruthless.
"My friends won't do this," he determined.
"Maybe, but after you come to redeem him, Jacques will have a headache whether he plans to do this or not." Scraff continued, "For a thousand-valued material, we can choose a higher score. craftsmen. "
"When preparing the ransom for you, I have already adjusted some craftsmen, and if you fill in more, the artisans in the territory will not be enough.
"Don't worry, do you know that Northern Lands is in a mess now?" Earl is well-founded, "Four Great Kingdoms allied forces have been destroyed in Hermes, feudal lord have forced citizen to join the army, there have been a large number of refugees. We can take this opportunity Eat more and save even the monthly supplies. "
Petrov Only found out that his father, who is also a master of business, is at least much better than him on the battlefield. (To be continued.)
