Du Lun has been locked in the dungeon for three full days.
He knew that he had offended the new emperor badly this time, and he didn't know what the latter would do to him. Even if he was killed, it was not impossible.
But Duren does not regret his choice, he is just worried about his wife and daughter.
The former captain of the Kingsguard knew that it would be unlucky for him to meet Garth, so he had sent them all out of the city the night before the coronation ceremony to join his cousin, who had a territory in Elk Valley.
Du Lun was just thinking about when Shelly and Yin Mel would arrive at Elk Valley, and then he saw something flying over his head and landing on the haystack in front of him.
Du Lun was stunned.
He couldn't identify what the small black box was, and when he was hesitating whether to hand it over to the dungeon guards, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Sir Durham."
"who?!"
The hairs all over Du Lun's body stood up and he looked around cautiously, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.
"No need to look, I'm not in the dungeon."
Du Lun felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who the speaker was. He could only tell from the other person's accent that he was not an indigenous person from the Bratis continent.
"Who are you and where are you hiding?!" Du Lun said in a deep voice.
However, the voice did not answer his question and said to itself, "Do as I say and we can talk.
"Now, pick up the small black box on the ground and find the black button on the side. Well, that place is slightly raised compared to the surrounding area, and there is a small sword-like pattern on it."
"Press that place when you are talking, then release it after you finish speaking, and I can hear your voice."
After Li Yu finished speaking, he waited for about two minutes, but there was no sound from the other side.
So Li Yu repeated the previous words again, but there was still no response. Just when Li Yu suspected that the person Jude had found had not thrown the walkie-talkie in the right place.
Du Lun's voice finally sounded from the other side, with a hint of hesitation, "Are you... living in this black box?"
Li Yu is the only person on the Bratis continent who uses Chinese to communicate with the locals, so his voice recognition is usually very high.
However, his automatic translation ability can only take effect when face to face. If a walkie-talkie or radio is used, Li Yu can only use Common Language unless the other person is a Saturday Servant or Clara.
Fortunately, after such a long time, he has become more proficient in common language, and he has no big problems communicating with people and reading daily letters and books.
Although Du Lun had just met Li Yu a few days ago and had a conversation, he suddenly heard Li Yu speak in common language and felt a little unfamiliar. He could not guess the identity of the other person at the first time.
However, Li Yu did not hide it, and continued, "I don't live in that box, so please be sure not to open that box. It is just a sacred instrument used for communication by Shuangxiujiao."
Du Lun did think about smashing the intercom open to see if there was a villain talking inside. Hearing this, he stopped what he was doing with some embarrassment. After hearing the words "double break", he finally remembered.
Why does this voice sound familiar?
"Prophet Merlin, are you talking to me?"
"Yes, it's me."
Duren sighed, "I still remember that night you warned me that my investigation was in the wrong direction. Priest Cornelia might have misled me about Earl Clyde, but I didn't listen to you.
.”
"Given the relationship between Cornelia and Edward II, it's not surprising that you would believe her instead of me." Li Yu said.
"Anyway, I lost the bet," Duren said, "so now I'm here."
"Do you want to leave this dungeon?" Li Yu said straight to the point.
"No, I did something wrong and was used by others to slander and slander the new emperor of the empire, which affected his reputation. I also need to bear the corresponding price, even if I lose my life because of it." Du Lun said calmly.
He was mentally prepared for such an outcome.
"Although you won't die immediately, I heard that His Majesty wants to send you to Hongyan Island."
"Red Rock Island?" The former Royal Forest Guard Chief's eyes moved slightly, "Just right, so I can wait there for those Wing Clan people to come over."
"You will die. There are not many defenders on Hongyan Island."
"I'm not afraid of death, and I still fight to protect the empire."
"But after you die, no one will continue to trace the real murderer of Edward II." Li Yu reminded.
"You should know the nobles in this city better than I do, and know what choices they will make between their own interests and the truth."
Du Lun was speechless.
"And with all due respect, you will die worthless on Red Rock Island. Those wing tribes will not give you a chance to fight one on one, and they will not even remember who they killed afterwards.
.”
"If you are really loyal to your country, you should make good use of your martial arts and military talents to make those invaders pay a greater price."
Du Lun thought about Li Yu's words and seemed to be a little moved. After a moment, he said, "Prophet Merlin, can you persuade His Majesty to let me plead guilty and meritorious services?"
"No." Li Yu's answer was straightforward.
After a pause, he added, "I tried asking someone to speak for you, and I also found Prime Minister Erwin. In addition, Essos also begged for you. Unfortunately, Garth's attitude was very firm. He was determined to do it.
Send you to Red Rock Island."
"I didn't know you did so many things to save me." Du Lun was a little surprised.
"Now the other nobles in the city should avoid me. If you and Sir Yin Leiya help me so much, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will turn his anger on you?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we will leave Lion Heart Castle and return to the Western Region tomorrow." Li Yu said, "Are you willing to leave with us?"
"How am I going to leave with you? Didn't you just say that His Majesty has made up his mind to send me to Hongyan Island?" Du Lun was puzzled.
"I can have someone take you away with me, but in this case, your reputation may be greatly affected."
Du Lun didn't understand at first, but he soon came to his senses, "You mean to let someone kidnap me?"
"It's like this. Before sending you to Hongyan Island, Garth wanted someone to whip you. He initially chose Yin Leya, but Yin Leya declined, so he had no choice but to find someone to whip you.
Another person."
"who?"
"Jonnel of House Harper."
"Black-hearted Jonil?" Duren said, "I know this man. He used to be very aggressive when sparring with others. He blinded one of his opponent's eyes and got such a nickname. It seems that His Majesty wanted to give him a nickname.
A profound lesson for me.”
"The execution time is set for tomorrow morning. You will be taken out of the dungeon by then, so that my people can find a chance to rescue you."
Things changed, and Li Yu slightly adjusted his plan.
