The final chapter. Finding truth in grief and despair (middle) [True Ending]
Ironhelm Castle is now in chaos, and the nobles and gentry are very dissatisfied with the situation in front of them.
"What's going on outside? What's going on?"
"Where is the Baron? Where is the Baron?"
"What a waste of a party! We're going back!"
The nobles were shouting, but in fact they were very panicked.
At this time, the banquet doesn't matter at all, what matters is your own safety.
What if the commotion outside affects them inside the castle?
These little nobles and squires came here without many guards. If the commotion was big, they would be trapped in the castle.
"Everyone, distinguished guests, please be patient. The incident happened suddenly and we are still trying to figure out the situation."
At this time, the person who stood up to maintain the overall situation was an old man who was about sixty years old. He was the old butler of the castle. He was approaching retirement age. His voice was hoarse and weak and he had a stutter. The look in the eyes of these nobles also showed that he lacked confidence.
"Everyone can leave on their own, but if there are not enough guards to ensure safety, you can stay in the castle until the riot is calmed down. During this period, your accommodation and food will be free of charge."
However, at this time, a paunchy noble glared at the butler and said, "Hey! Who knew you had to bring a bunch of mercenaries to a banquet?"
Another thin nobleman holding a prostitute in his arms also yelled: "That's right! How are we going to go back? You have to be responsible!"
"We have important matters at home and we have to go back tonight. You will be responsible for the delay!"
"Yes! If I can't go back today, what will happen to my family?"
"You want compensation!"
"Yes, compensation!"
...
"This, this...we..."
These nobles are all human beings, and the old housekeeper alone cannot suppress this situation. And the owl warriors guarding around the hall are helpless. They have not received orders, and they cannot use force to threaten these people who are outside.
Powerful guests.
"Where's Miss Lanji?"
However, under normal circumstances, it should be "that person" who is responsible for appeasing the guests and maintaining order at the venue.
The young prostitutes were discussing privately, and those who were more attentive already noticed that the situation in front of them was exuding uneasiness.
The old butler wiped the hot sweat from his forehead with a white silk handkerchief and said: "Anyway, everyone, it is absolutely safe in the castle! Regarding the compensation issue, we will talk about it later..."
"ah!!"
However, a shrill shout interrupted his speech.
"Strange, monster! Someone is coming! There is a monster!!"
The panicked maid appeared at the entrance to the hall, and her shouts immediately caused an uproar in the whole place.
"What's going on?"
The owl warriors guarding the surroundings stopped the maid, and the nobles in the hall were also talking about it. Obviously, they were now full of doubts about the "security in the castle" that the old butler had just guaranteed.
With the support of an owl warrior, the maid breathlessly said: "Book, study...I saw a, a monster."
"Walk!"
After hearing the exact location, the owl warriors in the passage immediately trotted away.
"study?"
Half-elf Nancy, who happened to be by the passage here, immediately felt something was wrong when she heard that there was a monster in the study. Before the banquet, Lan Ji told them not to try to find her after the performance, and asked them to go back quickly.
.
However, Lanji herself disappeared at the beginning of the banquet and did not tell them where she was going.
They were trained hard by Lan Ji. Today is an important performance day. Lan Ji should be watching from the side, but she left quietly like this. For Lan Ji, who has always been serious and responsible,
Quite rare.
But Nancy remembered that the passageway when Lan Ji left was leading to the study. So, would something happen to Lan Ji?
Nancy was worried, and while the crowd was still commotion, she walked towards the passage where the owl warriors left.
"******"
When she walked near the study room, Nancy heard a sound of yelling, but due to the distance, Nancy couldn't hear it clearly.
So Nancy stayed close to the wall and approached the study with gentle steps. After keeping a distance of about ten meters from the study door, Nancy began to listen to what was going on inside.
"Oh? That's really lucky."
Is it the city lord?
Nancy heard the voice clearly and recognized that it was Feng Ze who spoke.
"Put her in the castle dungeon, and then call the Skinner."
"yes!"
The owl warriors responded, and there was a sound of neat footsteps coming from the passage, and the sound became louder and louder, obviously approaching her.
Oops!
Feeling bad, Nancy immediately retreated to the corner, picked up the scissors on the wooden shelf, and pretended to be pruning the potted plants on the wooden shelf.
Three owl warriors walked out of the passage. They noticed Nancy who was facing the potted plant with her back to them, and stopped almost at the same time.
Feeling the cold gazes of those black-armored warriors, Nancy's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and her heart beat a few beats faster.
"Hey! You..."
These Owl warriors are not weak in perception. Even if Nancy has her back turned to them, they can feel Nancy's nervousness. Obviously there must be something hidden behind this tension. The Owl warrior who was confused about this turned towards Nancy.
Come.
"Forehead!"
Hearing the footsteps that were obviously coming towards her from behind, Nancy's body tensed up.
As personal guards, these owl warriors can directly capture and interrogate all suspicious persons. If her eavesdropping action just now is discovered, she really doesn't know what the consequences will be.
"Forget it, don't miss it."
However, at this time, the owl warrior in the middle stopped the owl warrior on the right who was about to step forward.
"Yes, let's go."
The owl warriors nodded to each other, ignored Nancy and continued to move towards their destination.
"call!"
After the footsteps of the owl warriors faded away, Nancy, who had been holding her breath, immediately held on to the wooden frame and gasped for air.
"It seems something really happened to Miss Lan Ji."
Just now, from the corner of her eye, Nancy caught a glimpse of the owl warrior on the left carrying a woman on his shoulders. Judging by the clothing style, she was undoubtedly Lanji.
"Skinner...dungeon...what happened?"
Although she didn't know what happened, Nancy already understood the seriousness of the matter, and she immediately returned to the hall.
"What's wrong? Nancy, is there really a monster?"
The other young prostitutes came closer to Nancy. They noticed Nancy's expression. It was obvious that she had understood something after coming back from the passage.
Nancy shook her head, pointed to the crowd around her and said, "Don't be here, let's go somewhere else."
"good."
After Nancy went to a more secluded corner with the two prostitutes, she said:
"Something happened to Miss Lan Ji. I saw her being taken to the castle dungeon by 'Xiao' with my own eyes."
"What?!"
This bombshell news shocked the prostitutes.
"Shh!"
The movement here made people around them look over, and Nancy immediately put her index finger to her mouth to signal them to stay quiet.
"It was the city lord who ordered Miss Lanji to be imprisoned in the dungeon, and also summoned the 'Skinner'."
Nancy told what she knew. She didn't know why Lan Ji would anger the city lord, but if she didn't care about it, Lan Ji would almost certainly die.
"What can we do? It is said that the butcher has skinned hundreds of people. If you let him come, something will definitely happen to Miss Lanji."
Other prostitutes also understand the seriousness of the matter. Lan Ji is the backbone of Huansha Spring. If something happens to her, Huansha Spring will undoubtedly cause an uproar.
Maybe the Spring of Huansha will become Feng Ze's direct subordinate, and the prostitutes' life, which they could still live happily, will probably fall into dire straits.
Furthermore, just based on Lan Ji's daily care for them, they couldn't just sit back and watch.
"We can't do anything at all, we have to find help."
"Nancy, you are smart. Go and bring the news back and let Sister Katis handle it."
The situation was urgent, and the prostitutes made a decision quickly, but Nancy still hesitated.
"Me? But I still have to..."
After that, the prostitutes had to continue performing, and at the same time they had to deal with the nobles. There were still some shortages of more than ten prostitutes in the hall, and Nancy was considered a main force among them.
"Leave it to us to deal with it, and you can find a way out of here."
"good."
Her companions all said this, and Nancy couldn't shirk it. She knew very well that she couldn't do it unless she shouldered this burden, and other prostitutes might not be able to convey the news accurately.
"Hey! What are you doing together? Come over here quickly, the gentlemen are waiting for you to entertain them!"
An attendant spotted the prostitutes whispering in a corner.
"Go for it!"
The two prostitutes shouted "Come on, come on!" while nudging the thin Nancy, blocking her with each other's bodies, then turned and walked towards the center of the hall.
Nancy no longer hesitated, and immediately took the opportunity to slip out of the hall and walked towards the exit of the castle.
She didn't dare to speed up on the road for fear of making people suspicious. Because she behaved calmly, most of the people she met on the road didn't hinder her.
"Stop! Is there a passing order?"
Nancy successfully arrived at the side door with fewer guards. She wanted to continue walking out as if nothing had happened, but the two owl warriors guarding the door stopped her with their spears.
"I didn't..."
Seeing these two burly black-armored warriors glancing up and down at her with cold eyes, as if they were looking at some rare exhibit, Nancy's voice trembled a little.
"That's right, you, a half-elf slave girl, can't have one either."
The two Owl warriors used the firelight to see the collar around Nancy's neck and her slightly pointed ears, and determined her identity.
"Then why are you going out?"
Nancy thought she had been stopped like this, but seeing that the guards seemed to have room for maneuver, she immediately said, "My leg is sprained. I'll go back and replace it with someone else."
After saying that, Nancy exposed her red and swollen calves.
Of course, that was just a result of dancing, and there was actually nothing wrong with her calves.
Fortunately, the two owl warriors had no intention of checking. Another owl warrior by the door said: "There is a curfew outside. No one is allowed to wander on the streets."
"I will go back to the trail and won't stay on the streets for too long."
The owl warrior in front of Nancy said: "It's very chaotic outside now. I suggest you stay in the fort to be safer."
"But...I'm really in a hurry."
She couldn't delay it any longer, she had to get the news out quickly.
But if the two owl warriors insist on not letting them go, Nancy has nothing to do.
"oh?"
The two owl warriors wore black iron masks on their faces. Nancy couldn't see their expressions, but she noticed that the two seemed to look at each other for a while and made some eye contact.
"Since you insist on going..."
There is no point in embarrassing an ordinary prostitute. Nancy is not a central figure like Lan Ji, and there is no order from above that no one in the castle is allowed to leave.
"Then go!"
Facing this pleading young prostitute, the two owl warriors who came to the conclusion gave way and raised their hands to indicate that Nancy could leave.
"Be careful on the road."
"Thank you! Two big brothers!"
After Nancy thanked the two owl warriors, she immediately trotted away from Iron Helm Castle.
"No...does it look like she has a calf sprain?"
The two owl warriors looked at Nancy's retreating figure and exchanged doubtful looks with each other.
...
Center Street, Spring of Huansha.
"Strange, why are there so many guests?"
The mature-looking prostitute looked at the crowded shop door and several guards holding torches walking around on the street, and couldn't help but frown.
A young-looking prostitute next to her held her hand on the railing and sighed:
"They were all driven in. Of course there are many people."
"You two are lazy, go and help your sisters!"
Katniss walked up behind the two of them and patted them both on the shoulders.
"We have just finished our work..."
"Yeah, I'm tired...let's take it slow."
"There is no way, today's situation is special, everyone please hold on a little longer!"
"well......"
The two prostitutes yawned and responded feebly.
Seeing that the two of them were so unmotivated, Katis said: "When today is over, I will ask the kitchen to make extra meals for everyone!"
"Eh! Really?!"
"Do you have Miss Lanji's pastries?!"
The two people's eyes immediately shone, and their original fatigue seemed to disappear.
Katniss smiled and said, "Of course, I believe she will make a lot of delicious mousse cakes for everyone."
The prostitute with a childish face stared at Katis and said: "Then I must order a blackberry."
The mature prostitute held her smooth chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Hmm, I think bluegrass is good."
"Okay, I will tell her then."
Katniss smiled and took their words to heart.
"Then let's work hard together!"
"good!"
The two women regained their energy and returned to the crowd with smiles on their faces.
At this time, there were still faint explosions coming from outside. Although it was not as intense as the first, it was obvious that the riot was not over yet.
"What happened?"
Katis held on to the guardrail where the two prostitutes were, looking at the firelight outside and muttering to herself. She felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something important was happening tonight.
The black-haired boy left without saying goodbye. Lan Ji was also worried before leaving today, and then there was the unknown commotion in the city.
"Hey! Miss Katniss, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Her buttocks were suddenly rubbed by a thick palm. Although it was a bit abrupt, Katis still looked back at the man with a smile on her face.
"Master, who are you?"
Looking at the face clearly, Katis only felt that it was familiar, but she couldn't remember which regular customer it was.
"I haven't been here for a while, do you remember?"
The man flipped his hair as if to tell Katniss that he had more hair before.
"It's you! Long time no see. Is your business going well?"
He smelled fishy, so he should be a captain or sailor. In fact, Katiss didn’t remember anything about the other person. When she was younger, she would indeed remember the names, occupations and even preferences of those customers, but now she doesn’t remember every one of them.
All the guests you have received can remember it.
Despite this, for Katis, who has read many people, there is no problem in following the topic.
"Haha, not bad."
The man laughed and puffed up his chest. Whether it was intentional or not, the gold necklace of good workmanship on his neck was exposed.
"I just bought a few houses recently."
"That's really good."
Katis was no longer interested in the content of the following conversation, or she had no desire to talk to this man in the first place.
Although he really wanted to take that hand away from his body, showing disgust too obviously would undoubtedly lower this man's evaluation of Huansha Spring. If he publicized it, it would have some bad effects, and
This kind of "contact" was not intolerable to her, so she just raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing more.
This man showed off his wealth to her just to gain some sense of accomplishment and to treat him well. But Katis knew very well how much wealth this man had had nothing to do with her. There was a metal on the ring finger of that hand.
Existence, and looking at this man who is about thirty years old, it is obvious that this man already has a family, and maybe a few half-year-old children.
However, it is not uncommon for married men to come here. In the past, strong cowherds were recruited here to serve married men. There was even a couple who did not seek each other's love.
I bumped into him in this store while he was on the move.
However, most women in this fringe town are conservative, and the income of Cowherd is very low, so it was later cancelled.
The man smiled and said, "I brought a lot of gold coins with me this time. How much are you worth now?"
"No matter how much gold you pay, you can't buy me."
Katniss was not exaggerating. She had already redeemed herself two years ago. She was not on the sale list, so she was naturally priceless.
The man asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is that really...are you used to the life here? Don't you yearn for freedom?"
"I've already gotten used to it."
Katis took this opportunity to gently grab the man's arm and let it leave her body.
"The outside world is just like that. Of course I don't desire it."
Did you come here when you were fourteen or fifteen?
Katis has stayed in this brothel for many years, and she can’t remember the specific time. She only knows that the old “mother” has been dead for some years. As for how old she is now, Katis has not remembered it, because
For prostitutes, as long as they are not old and yellow, they can say that they are under twenty years old. Even if their faces have begun to age, they can still use makeup to cover up their wrinkles.
"Ah? Is this like this?"
The man was very embarrassed. He could feel Katis's indifference towards him.
"Guest, if you want to find a girl for entertainment, you can go down below. There are many good girls waiting for you there."
Katniss has no obligation to serve the guests. She is here purely because she wants to be here. She is a free person, so she can refuse the requests of those men.
In fact, life in the "Spring of Huansha" is not particularly bad. There is no shortage of three meals a day, clean and soft beds, sufficient sleep time, high-end perfumes, cosmetics and exquisitely made clothes.
.
With these benefits, it is not unacceptable to pay something. Although it is not really consensual for a prostitute to receive customers, it cannot be said to be forced. In fact, there is not much difference from normal money transactions.
It’s just that the goods are women’s bodies, and it’s often the women themselves who choose to hand over this “goods”.
After all, Tieyu City gave slaves "freedom". If they were dissatisfied with their careers, they could choose again. Of course, whether they could hold the job was another matter.
In other words, the prostitutes in the brothel may not come at first, but they must abide by the rules here. There is no doubt about this.
"Huansha Spring" has a long history. It existed when Tieyu City was built, and there are other prostitution houses in the city now, not just "Huansha Spring".
And not all prostitutes are female slaves, some are from down-and-out families who sent their daughters here, and there are also desperate women who join on their own initiative, and some even just want to make some money to support their families... In short
Every prostitute has their own story, and if they were asked to tell it themselves, they might not be able to tell it all in three days and three nights, but if they were to briefly summarize why they did what they did now, it would only take one sentence——
It's all for life.
The prerequisite for pursuing freedom is that you must be alive first. The purpose of giving up freedom now is actually to pursue freedom in the future.
This logic is ridiculous and no one should believe it.
But it was happening in reality, constantly happening in front of her.
So Katniss came to the realization a long time ago: everyone is a slave to life and cannot escape.
It would be better to feel more comfortable here.
For the female slaves who were sold here, this is a place where they don’t need to worry about food and shelter. But for some ordinary prostitutes, there is still a lot of hope here. It is said that the old man who once managed the "Huansha Spring"
"Mom" was also a high-class prostitute when she was young, and she successfully saved enough money to build her own brothel, which is why she built this "Spring of Huansha".
"Katis, there are not enough spices in the kitchen. Do you know where there are more spices?"
Scarlett's voice came over, and I wonder if she came to the rescue after seeing Katniss's situation.
"I remember there are some in Lanji's room, I'll get them to you."
No matter what, this was a big help to Katniss.
"Sorry, I'm sorry."
With a suitable reason, Katis immediately left the confused man and went to Lan Ji's room.
Katis didn't often come to Lanji's room. This room originally belonged to her old "mother" and it easily evoked some memories that she didn't like.
"I remember the spices should be kept here."
The room is not locked, just open the door and enter.
After Katniss looked around, she saw several cloth bags piled under the table.
Lanji borrowed a lot of spices from the kitchen a few days ago, and she didn't know what she wanted to do, but Katis and others would not ask.
They believed in Lanji, who changed the "Spring of Huansha" that was once a stagnant water, gave hope to the women in the brothel, and allowed them to see a future in which they could regain their freedom. Improve the environment of the brothel and improve the prostitutes.
With a share of the money, they no longer have to wait for old age, and may be freed at a young age. They personally train prostitutes who originally had no practical skills and let them learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that they can live a good life after leaving the brothel.
It has only been in the past few years that Lanji has been in charge of the entire Huansha Spring. Katis knows Lanji's story and her regrettable experience. Perhaps it is because both of them have suffered pain that ordinary people have never imagined. Katie
Silk often took the initiative to contact the former city lord's daughter, and they became good friends without knowing it.
"It seems that's all."
After checking the bags and confirming that these were the spices Scarlett needed, Katniss picked up one of the bags and prepared to leave.
"Huh? These are...letters?"
Katis noticed the envelopes on the table. Lanji didn't have a pen pal, Katis was sure of this.
Although Lanji's communication skills were no less than her own, Katis knew very well that Lanji could not contact anyone outside the city. This woman who was as miserable as herself was under the surveillance of the city lord and could not communicate with anyone outside the city.
"This letter is... for me?"
Out of curiosity, Katis turned the envelope over and found her name written on the front.
Strange, is there anything I must say in the letter?
This morning, Katis felt that Lan Ji seemed a little strange. Katis and others noticed her anxiety, but Lan Ji did have a lot to do today, so no one took it to heart.
Since it was for herself, there was no problem in opening it and taking a look, so Katniss opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter softly.
"Dear Katniss and all the friends who have accompanied me, by the time you read this letter, I will probably be gone..."
This shocking beginning made Katis completely forget about taking the spices back to the kitchen.
This is Lanji's final letter. It contains a lot of content but very little, and the things it talks about are so unfamiliar. Katis even wonders if this is someone else's prank. However, those beautiful handwritings are undoubtedly written by Lanji.
...
Dear Katniss and all the friends who have accompanied me, by the time you read this letter, I will probably be gone.
You may be surprised that the incident happened suddenly, but I'm sorry that I can't discuss this matter with you.
I will not be by your side in the future, but I believe that you can still live well without me now.
I have something to do. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I can't wait any longer.
Regardless of whether the result is success or failure, I can't come back here again now.
I am very grateful to everyone for taking care of me over the years, especially you, sister Katniss, for always treating me like my own sister and helping me through my most difficult times.
Really, thank you very much.
I remember we had agreed that we should tell each other if we had any difficulties, but this time it was my last willfulness. I had to solve it myself and put an end to everything with my own hands.
Don't worry, I'm not alone. The young man planned today's turmoil with me and his friends. They will go to the orc territory by sea to find a piece of land of their own in the vast wasteland.
Although I will not leave with them, I also have my own escape route. If successful, I will also go to a place far away from Noah and change my name. After a few years, I may return to Iron Feather City to see him.
Everyone.
Of course if I fail, I will die.
You don't have to be sad, I'm already prepared for this outcome.
No matter what the outcome is, just think that I am going on a long journey!
It's rare for me to go outside. This time I will leave here and see the outside world, but this trip will take a little longer.
Farewell, everyone.
Wish everyone well.
From Lanji
"Why... why didn't you tell me?"
Katniss's hands were shaking, and the thick, flat letter paper was crumpled into a ball by the force she inadvertently exerted.
She knew what Lan Ji was talking about, and she wanted to take revenge on that city lord.
Katis knew Lanji's hatred, and she knew very well that Lanji had been patiently looking for the right time to take revenge on her enemies.
However, they are too weak, like an ant trying to kill an elephant.
Although it is said that many ants kill an elephant, how many ants were crushed into powder before the ants successfully killed the elephant?
Katis thought to herself: It was precisely because she knew this that Lanji didn't tell them.
They are just a group of women without any power. Once they are involved in this incident, they are like fallen leaves being sucked into the whirlpool. They are so powerless to even struggle, and the power left to resist is just a delusion.
In addition to letters, there are account books, business logs, keys to various rooms and other items on the table. It is obvious that Lan Ji is really ready to hand over the entire brothel and is not joking.
In addition to saying goodbye to them, the letter Lanji left could also be submitted to Tieyu City as physical evidence of the prostitutes' innocence, which would reduce their future censure. The two Miao Miao mentioned in the letter
The destination can also distract the attention of the top management of Iron Feather City. If they want to recover their losses, they can only follow these two clues, which are almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. This will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Naturally, they have no time to take care of Ben and Lanji's involvement.
Prostitutes who are too deep.
Katis, who has been involved in the "Spring of Huansha" full of sophistication for so many years, is naturally extremely smart. She has been with Lanji for many years and is very aware of Lanji's thinking habits. Her intentions behind the letter can be guessed.
They are inseparable from each other.
But can Lanji and the boy succeed?
Katis has no worries about the commotion outside now. She knows very well that the incident jointly planned by the boy and Lanji will not pose a threat to the brothel. What she has to worry about is the safety of these two people.
That woman who made herself stupid because she was too gentle should know how cruel this world is, right?
If a little variable is not accounted for, all efforts will be in vain.
There is no reason at all, the balance will always tilt towards the strong.
As for that young man, she could see that he and Lan Ji were actually the same in many aspects. They were both gentle people, and this gentleness might become a burden to them.
"Hey, what was I thinking?"
Katniss sighed, there was nothing she could do about these things.
"Gotta bring the spices back."
Before leaving, Katis took the letter with her. She knew that the contents of the letter had to be told to everyone. If Lanji really didn't come back, then she would be the one responsible for the Spring of Huansha, and she would have to shoulder Lanji's share of the responsibility.
Come down.
Katis came to the kitchen and found that the atmosphere in the kitchen seemed wrong.
"What's wrong, everyone?"
Katis placed the bag of spices at the door. No one in the kitchen was working, and their expressions were extremely serious.
"Sister Katniss, you came just in time!"
A young half-elf girl ran towards Katis, but luckily she stumbled and fell into Katis's arms.
"Nancy? Aren't you supposed to be at the castle?"
Katis hugged Nancy and found that there was an arrow shaft stuck in her shoulder, and her back was stained red with blood.
"What about you?"
This situation made Katis want to ask something, but Nancy interrupted her. The half-elf girl said breathlessly:
"Miss Lanji, Miss Lanji, something happened to her!"
"Uh?! Don't worry, sit down first."
Although Katis was mentally prepared for this incident just now, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"What happened?"
The two cooks assisted Katis in helping the weak Nancy onto the stool. They tore off the bloody clothes on Nancy's back, washed the blood from the wound with water, and then applied white coagulation ointment.
On the side, Scarlett answered for Nancy: "Lan Ji was arrested by the city lord and put into the dungeon. I'm afraid she is in serious danger."
"What are her injuries?"
Katis squatted behind Nancy, who was already semi-conscious. Her fingers rested lightly on the arrow shaft, but she did not dare to pull out the arrow. The flat arrow had an undercut, and the wound did not look big. Once it was pulled out by force,
But it would bring out a large piece of flesh and blood, and the shocking wound made her feel dizzy just looking at it, and no one dared to deal with it.
Katniss and others all understood that this arrow wound could only be treated by a doctor, otherwise their wrong operation might leave a considerable scar on her shoulder or even hurt her arm, which would have a serious impact on Nancy's future.
Not a good thing.
Other women in the kitchen said:
"Those guards did it. They are acting crazy outside now and attack everyone they see."
"They came for questioning just now. They clearly hurt little Nancy, and they had no intention of apologizing."
Katniss asked: "Did you call the doctor?"
Scarlett sighed: "We can't get out, how can we shout?"
"Sister Katniss, please leave me alone."
Nancy, who had regained some form, grabbed Katniss's lapel and begged:
"Please think of a way to save Miss Lanji!"
"Don't worry, I will."
Katis put her hand on Nancy's forehead, and she could feel an abnormal heat in her palm. This was not a good sign. So Katis soaked the towel in water, wrung it out, and put it on Nancy's forehead.
, help her lower her body temperature.
However, their abilities were limited and they could not really prevent Nancy's injury from getting worse. If Nancy had to stay up all night, there was no telling what would happen.
What would Lan Ji do if she were here?
Katis thought about it. She knew very well that Lan Ji had studied medicine. If it were her, she might start the treatment directly. But Lan Ji would occasionally encounter things that she couldn't solve by herself. What would she do then?
"Scarlett, go to the lobby and call for help."
Scarlett asked doubtfully: "What? Is this okay?"
"Okay, there are so many people, there must be someone who knows how to treat it."
Katniss knew very well that there was no way around it, but the professions of clients who came to the brothel were of all kinds, and there were no restrictions. The number of people today was several times more than usual, and it was very likely that there were clients with healing skills.
"Go ahead."
"good."
Scarlett no longer hesitated and quickly walked out of the kitchen to ask for help.
"We have a girl here who was injured by an arrow. She was seriously injured. Do any of you know how to treat arrow wounds?"
The hall outside immediately became noisy. Realizing that human lives were at stake, no one made any noise to interrupt.
"I can!"
A strong voice broke the silence, and someone stood up.
After a while, Scarlett led a drunken man with a bottle of wine in his hand to the back kitchen.
"Is it you?"
Katis, who was squatting on the ground to change Nancy's gauze, looked at the man in astonishment.
Yes, this man is the one who harassed Katis before.
"Can you treat it?"
"Ha, I can't cure it and I won't come back."
This man who smelled of alcohol touched his thinning hair and said with a smile:
"When I went to sea, I encountered pirates once. At that time, everyone drove away the beasts, and everyone on the ship was dead and injured. I treated the ship's doctor as long as I was able to move."
"Okay, the medical kit is here."
At this time, a dead horse has to be treated as a living horse doctor, and a certain amount of experience is enough.
Katis and others moved aside and handed the spare medical kit to the man.
The man who got the tool immediately grabbed the arrow shaft, and then used scissors to cut off the long arrow shaft.
Judging from the man's skillful movements, it was obvious that he was not lying, which made everyone sigh in relief.
"Bring me a candle, a lighted one."
"good."
The man who received the candle handed over by Katis put a knife on the fire to bake, and motioned to Katis to grab the handle of the knife and maintain the posture. Then he rummaged for the medicine bottles in the box, and then wrinkled
He frowned and asked, "Don't you have any anesthetic here?"
"There is pain relief."
The women took out a small bottle of gray potion, and this was Kukar.
"Can."
Although Kukal is addictive, it can indeed make people temporarily forget about pain. Military doctors often use analgesics mixed with Kukal to relieve pain for severely wounded soldiers, so it is also a medical drug that needs to be used with caution.
"Clean the wound again."
The man took Kukar and poured it into the drink in his hand.
"Little girl, please bear with me."
Weak Nancy nodded in response. She didn't have much strength left to speak.
After the women helped clean the wound, the man took a sip of wine containing kukal and sprayed it on the wound where the arrowhead was still.
"Ugh!"
Nancy groaned, the stimulation to the wound was still too strong.
"It won't hurt soon, just bear with it for now."
As the man spoke, he took the heated knife from Katis's hand, and then placed the black-red blade against the wound.
Nancy couldn't see what was happening behind her, but her heart was tense and her body was shaking.
"Hold her down and don't move."
Hot sweat was pouring from the man's forehead. He pressed the knife to the injured area, traced the size of an arrow with his fingers, and began to add new wounds to the wound.
"Be patient, don't be afraid, you will be fine soon."
Katniss and the other women grabbed Nancy and comforted her.
"Well! Okay..."
Even though the alcohol mixed with Kukal was used to reduce the pain, the stinging sensation of being cut by a hot knife was still unavoidable. For an ordinary young girl, it was impossible to completely endure it.
Fortunately, the man cut quickly and made another incision around the arrow wound. Then he grabbed the remaining arrow shaft and slowly pulled the arrow out of the wound.
"Well!"
The feeling of the metal arrow stirring in the flesh was not good at all. If Kukar hadn't relieved the pain, Nancy would have passed out from the pain.
"Okay, it's over, I said it would be quick."
The man shows the arrow in his hand to the women.
At this time, the arrow wound on Nancy's back was only a wound slightly larger than a coin. As long as she recovered well, it wouldn't leave a terrible scar.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Katis handed the towel to the man, who took it without hesitation, and then wiped away the sweat on his forehead and the blood on his hands.
"This little girl is very lucky. The arrowhead was stuck by the bone. There was no heavy bleeding and no stitches were needed. Please put the coagulation ointment on and see a serious doctor for a checkup tomorrow and everything will be fine."
The man threw the bloody arrow aside and poured out all the drinks containing Kukal.
"Thank you so much."
The women bowed their heads to express their gratitude to the men.
"Haha! It's just a little effort. It's always good to do good things."
The man laughed twice, and the smell of alcohol in his body receded a lot.
Katis leaned on the man's shoulder, her red lips pressed against his ear and said, "We...can we talk in private?"
"Oh? Of course."
The man looked surprised, and of course he would not refuse.
"Katis you..."
Scarlett felt a little uneasy.
"I'm going to leave here for a while, and I'll leave the affairs here to you for the time being."
After that, Katniss handed Lanji's letter to Scarlett, then took the man's hand and left the kitchen.
Katis then took the man to a more secluded corner, where he could see the happy crowd and the laughter of men and women.
At this time, Katis asked solemnly: "Then can I ask you one more thing?"
"I'm in a good mood now. As long as it's not complicated, there's no problem in helping out a few more times."
The man put his hand on Katis's shoulder. Katis took the initiative to lean in and kissed him, and then continued to ask:
"You are a businessman from overseas, right?"
"That's right, I came from Ogilvy and came here by boat."
Katiss thought of something and said: "Ojili? I heard there is a Pearl Tower, a snow mountain hot spring and a mermaid there."
"Haha, there are Pearl Towers and hot springs there. As for mermaids, I have never seen them. I have seen a few man-eating murlocs."
The man laughed twice and his eyes were a little complicated.
"What? Are you asking me to bring something back from overseas?"
"No, I just want to go to the port."
Now that Nancy's problem has been basically solved, it's time to deal with Lan Ji's problem.
And Katis already had a plan in her heart. Of course she didn't have the ability to save Lan Ji, but that didn't mean that others didn't. The young man who planned the riots in the city must have the ability to save Lan Ji. She learned from Lan Ji's letter
We got the news that he would evacuate at the port, so it was just too late.
"Huh? This is simple, but do you want to go out now?"
Prostitutes usually don't go too far away from the brothel. It's normal for them not to be familiar with the road, but now it seems that it's not as simple as showing the way.
"right."
"That would be troublesome."
The man looked at Katniss's firm look and hesitated. Of course he knew how chaotic it was outside. Soldiers had announced a curfew before, and the arrow wound suffered by the half-elf girl was obviously caused by those soldiers. That is to say, outside
The soldiers may have launched an indiscriminate attack on pedestrians. It would be extremely unwise to go out on the street at this time, let alone reach a port where it is obvious that you will encounter guards.
"Is it important?"
"Very important."
"Is it necessary?"
"It must be done."
Katniss had made up her mind. Even if this man didn't want to help her, she still had to go.
The only way to save Lan Ji is to find the boy who can initiate this riot. Only he has the power to rescue Lan Ji from under Feng Ze's eyes.
"Ha, good women always cost people a high price."
The man scratched his head in distress and finally made a choice.
"Okay, I'll help. I'll take you to the port."
After all, he has an identity as an overseas businessman. The soldiers in this city shouldn't make it too difficult for him. Even if they can't, they can get money to clear the way.
"Thank you very much. Shall we leave now?"
Time is running out now, and Katis doesn't know the situation at the port, but if she can see the boy there, Lanji may still be saved.
"Oh? Are you really in a hurry?"
The man smiled and then said:
"Okay, let's set off."
"Okay, please."
Katis didn't change her clothes and followed the man directly outside the museum.
The man asked: "By the way, what do you want to do outside?"
"I want to save a friend. There may be someone at the port who can help her."
"That is to say, you are not sure that person is there, are you?"
The man heard the implication, but Katniss couldn't deny it.
"I said, where are you going now?"
As a result, guards stopped them as soon as they left the door.
"There's a curfew now, no one is allowed on the streets."
The man smiled flatteringly and said: "Master Bing, I have important cargo at the port. There was a fire over there just now. I want to go check it out."
The guard said: "That shouldn't happen now. Our people will naturally check on the matter over there for you."
"What's the meaning?"
Another guard said: "There are many traces of the rebels over there, and our people will surround that place soon."
"Uh? Hello!"
The man wanted to turn around and persuade Katis to give up, but found that Katis had already run out during their conversation.
"What happened to that woman?"
"Ha, she was like this before, please forgive me."
The man placed a small bag of money in the hands of the guard in front of him.
"I'll go get her back."
The guard shook the heavy purse in his hand, exchanged glances with his companion and said, "Okay, go and come back quickly."
"Haha, thanks for your accommodation."
The man laughed twice and immediately chased Katis in the direction where she left.
At this time, another guard said: "Let these two people go over there, aren't they dead?"
"Whatever! They asked for it themselves."
The guard smiled, poured a few steel coins from his money bag and handed them to his companion.
"Anyway, I have money to take."
...
"Hey! You don't need me to guide you at all, do you?"
The man chased after her, but of course the reason was because Katniss stopped where she was.
"Shh!"
Katis was not waiting for him, but there was a patrol passing by holding torches at the far corner of the street, and several soldiers in the front row were holding hounds in their hands.
"We civilians should not get involved in this battle."
The sight of those heavily armed soldiers was intimidating, and the men also retreated.
"It's not too late to go back now."
"I have something I must do. If you are really scared, just go back."
Katis knew very well that taking the news to the dock and conveying it to the boy was the only way to save Lan Ji.
"I actually know the way to the pier, but because you're such a nice person, I want you to accompany me."
Although she was taking advantage of this man, Katis didn't want to put him in danger.
"You go back, I won't blame you."
"well..."
The man sighed and said: "The soldiers have gone far, let's go."
"for...?"
"The streets are full of soldiers patrolling. You can't go far alone."
The man interrupted Katis's words. He knew that Katis was serious, but how could an ordinary woman get through the layers of blockades set up by these real soldiers and reach the dock?
"A true gentleman never lets a lady walk alone."
The man laughed twice more, then took Katis's hand and walked towards a wall.
"Uh? This is it?"
"It's impossible to avoid those soldiers and take the normal road. Let's go up to the roof and go all the way around."
For the almost inevitable patrols on the road, the man thought of a countermeasure. He rummaged through the debris in the corner and found a broken ladder. He leaned against the wall and held it with his hands for Katiss to step up.
After Katis climbed onto the roof carefully, the man also climbed onto the roof, and then the man led Katis on the balconies and tiles of the houses to avoid the soldiers on the streets.
"Jump over here and I'll catch you, trust me."
The man stepped on the edge of a steeple house and spread his arms. Katis looked at the distance of at least two steps in the middle and the ground more than ten meters away.
"Uh, okay."
Katis closed her eyes and jumped over. The man leaned forward and held her in his arms.
"See, it's easy."
The man smiled and placed the rosy-faced Katis in a safer position.
"A little further on is the pier. You should smell the salty smell of the sea breeze, right?"
"Yes, I smell it."
Katis took a look and saw that the already slightly brightened sky, the endless water and the ships docked at the pier seemed to be right in front of her.
"I don't know how to thank you."
"Ha, it seems like you really can't remember me."
The man shook his head helplessly.
"As a reminder, I owed you a lot many years ago, but what I do now is actually nothing compared to it."
"Are you...him?!"
In a daze, Katis remembered someone, the man who abandoned her many years ago. This awakening memory made her body tremble uncontrollably, her steps staggered, and the old tiles she stepped on fell off.
"Hey! Be careful."
The man supported Katis who lost her balance, and the falling tiles made a crisp sound on the quiet street.
Woof! Woof!
Dogs barked from the streets below, and soldiers carrying torches swarmed towards him.
"Oops, don't make a sound!"
The man hugged Katis into his arms. Katis was so angry that she couldn't control it, but she also knew that she should remain rational and not resist excessively.
"There's someone on the roof!"
However, the shadows of the two men under the moonlight still exposed them. The soldier who discovered the problem looked towards the roof, and the other soldiers were reminded and also looked at the two men.
"Walk!"
The man picked up Katis and jumped down, and behind him there was a sound of shattering tiles.
"Chase!"
Seeing that the two men were out of sight, under the command of the sergeant, the soldiers put down their short bows and started to pursue them with daggers and spears.
"Is it really you?"
Katis looked at the man's face. She couldn't equate it with that person's face, but time could wash away too many things, and her memory of that person was indeed blurred.
But the man who abandoned her and turned herself into a prostitute really owed her a lot.
You still have the nerve to come to me.
Although Katniss wanted to question him like this, she knew very well that now was not the time to argue.
"Ha, time flies so fast."
The man sighed with emotion. He jumped quickly on the roof. The broken tiles and wood under his feet could not slow down his movements.
However, the soldiers' shouts and the whizzing of arrows followed closely behind, and the alarm here also caused the surrounding patrols to come closer. It was obvious that the two of them could not escape the pursuit of the soldiers.
"You get down from here."
Finally escaping to a more secluded corner, the man sent Katis off a relatively low wall.
"Then what do you do?"
Katis looked up at the man, but he didn't seem to want to come down with her.
"I'll go for a run again. I haven't exercised in a long time."
The man looked up and looked around. At this time, the light of torches had illuminated the surrounding streets. The clang of iron boots on the ground sounded in all directions. A large number of soldiers had surrounded the place.
"The place you want to go is very close. Just refuel and run and you'll be there."
"But..."
"Don't you still have something to do? Do it quickly!"
After saying that, the man turned around and started running again, and the firelight that had just surrounded him immediately followed his figure.
"..."
The shouts and barks of the surrounding soldiers gradually faded away, and Katis felt an inexplicable pain in her chest as she looked at the night where there was no longer any man.
But she couldn't waste time. Most of the surrounding patrols had been lured away. This was the best opportunity.
Katis gritted her teeth, turned around and ran in the other direction.
The cool breeze blowing from the sea smelled of salt and fish, and merchant ships were slowly leaving the port.
Katdis quickened her pace, and the partition hidden in the darkness tripped her to the ground. She immediately got up from the gravel and dust, dragging pain all over her body and continued running towards the ships.
At this time, Katis was sure that the ships were full of slaves with collars. Obviously, the information in Lanji's letter was not wrong. If the young man was in the team of these people, he would definitely lend a helping hand to them.
"Why is Katniss here?"
The young man was shocked when he looked at the familiar figure. He had no plan to involve the prostitutes in the brothel. Taking the prostitutes out of Center Street first would be very risky, and Lan Ji also told him that the prostitutes were in prostitution.
The way of life in the museum is different from that of other slaves. They have adapted to their current life, and there is no need for them to risk changing.
"An acquaintance of yours?"
Bai Feng asked, she had never seen the young man show such an expression.
"Yes, but she shouldn't be here."
The boy clenched his fists, turned around and shouted to the busy sailors: "Don't start the boat yet! Put down the rope ladder!"
Ramon said to the hesitant sailors: "Do as he says."
The rope ladder was lowered, and the boy immediately disembarked along the rope ladder and ran in the direction of Katis.
"Hey! Watch out for archers on the dock!"
Bai Feng was worried about the boy's condition and immediately followed him down.
"Your Highness Bai Feng!"
When Zhan Ya and a group of Khajiit warriors saw Bai Feng disembarking, they had no choice but to follow him.
The young man didn't care so much. Of course he saw the Iron Feather City soldiers gathering at the dock, and the archers had already set up their bows.
Because of this, he has to be fast!
"put!"
Following the sergeant's order, the archers let go of their bowstrings, and the cold iron arrows made a sound in the wind that sounded like a roaring wind.
The dark rain of arrows appeared above Katis's head, but the boy could only shout: "Get down!"
"Just..."
Katis didn't see the arrows behind her at all. She stretched out her hand to the boy who was running towards her, and the boy also reached out to catch her.
Just like that time in the basement, the young man ran towards her with all his strength, covered in sweat, with an extremely anxious look on his face like a furious lion.
But it was too late.
"Ugh!"
The pain in her chest made Katiss whimper, and a sharp arrow penetrated her chest from her back. She looked at the triangular arrow on her chest with a slightly dazed look, which was dripping with blood and the tingling sensation in her chest, because
Being too real makes it feel unreal.
"hateful!"
At this time, the young man just happened to knock Katis down, but just like before, he was still a step too late, and this time, there was no remedy.
In fact, whether it is one step behind or half a step behind, there is no difference in the result.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
There was a muffled sound above the young man's head, and Bai Feng and a group of Khajiit warriors used the planks or wooden boxes on the ground to block the subsequent rain of arrows.
Although most orc warriors can use their thick fur to significantly reduce the power of bows and arrows, it does not mean that they will not be hurt by bows and arrows. The wooden boards in their hands are not strong shields and cannot withstand many arrows.
"Go quickly!!"
Bai Feng grabbed the two people on the ground, while the tiger warriors held up wooden boards filled with arrows and followed Bai Feng to cover her retreat.
"Hold on! Katniss!"
The boy who stood up with the help of his strength carried Katis, who had been hit by an arrow, on his back, and followed Bai Feng as he ran towards the rope ladder.
"I...I...have something to say..."
The breath of Katis on his back was weakening at a speed that the boy could feel.
"Stop talking yet! Hold on!"
Although he was carrying one person on his back, the boy quickly climbed up the rope ladder.
"Everyone spread out!"
"Get the therapist!"
...
Seeing an arrow stuck in the back of the woman brought by the boy, the people on the boat panicked.
The young man carried Katis to the open space on the deck and tried to put her down with the help of others. He let her lie flat in his arms and held her back with his left hand to prevent her breathing from being compressed and preventing her from breathing.
The wound expands.
Bows and arrows are quite dangerous weapons. In addition to being able to easily pierce muscles and muscles, if the sharp and wide arrows pierce the internal organs, they will basically completely destroy the internal organs. Moreover, the arrows will be stained due to being rusted or artificially mixed with feces.
Certain germs can cause wounds to become infected and inflamed quickly.
Prey shot by hunters generally cannot go very far, and even if they are lucky enough to escape capture, sometimes they are not spared. This is the reason why.
The boy who was also good at using bows and arrows noticed that the arrow that hit Katis was a three-edged armor-piercing arrow. This kind of arrow has a health groove and is more lethal than ordinary arrows. It is expensive to make and is not equipped by ordinary archers.
And this arrow hit Katis before ordinary arrows. It could shoot at such a fast speed and penetrate the human body at a distance of more than 100 meters. Obviously, there was at least one god among the archers who came to the dock.
Shooter.
The city defense army of Iron Feather City is completely the combat strength of Noah's first and second line regular army. It is not a ragtag group. There are many experts in its army. The slave fighters were able to achieve the seemingly brilliant record in the past purely because they took advantage of the absence of the city defense army.
The knife he stabbed when he reacted.
Feeling that she didn't have much time, Katis endured the severe pain and said to the young man in front of her:
"Quick...go...save Lan Ji..."
"Lan Ji? What's wrong with Lan Ji?"
The boy put his ear to Katis's mouth so that he could hear her voice clearly.
"She...is in the castle...dungeon..."
"Go...save her...please!"
"I will, I will, hold on, the therapist will be here soon."
An arrow wound of this degree is already a fatal injury.
The young man knew it very well, but he didn't want to believe the result.
"This...is useless."
The therapist who rushed over looked at Katis's injuries and could only shake his head helplessly.
"Save her! Quick!"
The young man glared at the healer in white robes with bloodshot eyes.
"She, she can't be saved at all. As soon as the arrow is pulled out, the person will die. Even if the arrow is inserted into the wound, it can't stop the bleeding."
The therapist took a step back because of the anger in the boy's eyes. This terrifying look seemed to come from an evil beast from hell.
"Can't be saved."
"you!!"
"Verus, calm down!"
Zhan Ya pressed the young man's shoulder, knowing very well that the young man had lost his mind.
Bai Feng sighed and said to the therapist: "Go down!"
"Yes, yes!"
The therapist, frightened by the boy, immediately ran away.
"Bring him back!"
The young man shouted angrily, and the therapist who had just ran a few steps froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
"Let him go..."
Bai Feng squatted next to the boy and patted his shoulder. She didn't know how to comfort him in this situation.
"well......"
Nurahan, the leader of the orcs who was standing in the crowd of spectators, also let out a long sigh.
As warriors who have experienced blood and fire, they know very well what injuries can be cured and what injuries can only be prayed for. Nurahan believed that the boy actually knew that this human woman could no longer be cured, but he could understand the boy's feelings.
"I..."
The young man didn't know how to respond. He was very anxious inside. He knew very well that it was wrong for him to get angry at other people indiscriminately. However, the dull feeling could not be eliminated.
Watching someone familiar die in front of you is definitely not something you can let go of easily.
Obviously Katniss is such a gentle person, why did she want to die?
The young man could not accept or accept this result.
In Katis's light-colored pupils, some light was gradually disappearing. The corners of her mouth were flowing with bright red blood, and her lips were twitching slightly, as if they were saying something, but no matter how close the young man was, they could not
I couldn't hear her voice clearly, that light and crisp voice.
Feeling the weight on her head, Katis reached out and stroked the boy's hair. She smiled and closed her eyes.
"Well..."
There was no gentle weight on his hair, and he felt that the body in his arms was getting colder. The young man choked in his throat. Now he wanted to cry loudly, or howl like a wounded cub.
However, he held back, swallowing the great sorrow into his belly, and what filled that emptiness was a matching...anger!
Bai Feng watched silently as the boy pulled out the arrow from Katis's chest, and then laid her flat on the deck.
"Condolences..."
There were obviously many comforting words to say, but Bai Feng found that he could only say these two words.
The young man did not respond to Bai Feng. His eyes were cold and calm, like a frozen lake, but there were immeasurable waves under the ice.
"Please bury her in a dignified manner."
"Of course...but you..."
Bai Feng heard the implication of the young man's words, it seemed that he had no intention of joining in.
"I want to go back. Please give me a small boat."
The boy turned to look at a lizard man archer.
"Also, lend me this."
"Well?"
Although the lizard man archer looked confused, he still took off his short bow and quiver and handed them to him.
"Thank you."
The young man who received the weapon put the short bow and quiver on his back, and then walked to the lifeboat on the deck.
"Wait a minute?! You want to go back alone?"
Bai Feng stopped the young man.
"Are you crazy?"
"I have to go back, please don't stop me."
The young man looked at Bai Feng calmly. His eyes told Bai Feng that his thoughts were unshakable.
"Then I'll knock you down right here."
Bai Feng took a step back and raised his fists.
"I can't let you die."
"Then come on, even if you break my legs and break all my bones, I will jump into the sea today and let the sea water take me back."
The young man's expression did not change. He walked past the stunned Bai Feng, but Bai Feng did not make any move, because she knew that this young man meant what he said.
"Wait a moment."
The old man in the wheelchair called to the young man.
"Do you have to go? Even if one of you is certain to die."
Heisha asked. He knew very well that the young man had made up his mind, but this was irrational. Ordinary people should retreat when faced with difficulties.
"Yes, and I don't think I will die."
The young man looked at the old man, his expression was still calm and cold.
"I've been lucky enough not to die."
"Then we'll go back with you."
Bai Feng walked up to the young man. She didn't know what the young man was going to do when he returned, but it was obvious that what he wanted to do was very important to him.
"Tell us your story!"
"I can't let you take risks."
This is your own private matter.
The young man knew very well that no one on the ship needed to go into danger with him for this matter, and no one should have to sacrifice for it.
Zhan Ya walked up to the boy and said, "But we can't let you take risks on your own."
"I......"
The young man was shaken. He did not expect to hear this sentence from others.
At this time, Bai Feng also said: "We have made a covenant, your enemies are our enemies, have you forgotten?"
"I'm going to Ironhelm Castle, the most dangerous and heavily guarded castle in the city, to rescue a person."
The young man looked at everyone who seemed to be hesitating and continued:
"You don't need to follow me. This is my own matter and I will solve it myself."
Yes, this is his adventure.
He doesn't need extra strength, let alone anyone other than himself being hurt.
"Are you looking down on the oath and determination of our Tiger Clan?"
Bai Feng punched the boy in the head. In terms of pain and strength, it was obvious that he was merciful.
"Go! Isn't it just a stone house? Let's go together."
"Uh! You guys..."
Now the young man lost the momentum he had before, and he was helpless in the face of these guys who didn't act according to common sense.
Nourahan also came over and said, "Let's discuss it carefully! If we have a plan on how to get there, everything will be easy to handle."
"What about you?"
Forgetting the familiar Khajiit clan, why did this strong orc leader, whom I had only met a few times, also want to join?
"Are you underestimating the courage of the orcs? If you, a young boy, dare to enter a place, why shouldn't we?"
Nurahan glared at the young man, who could only smile bitterly.
"Okay, let's discuss it."
Facing these people blocking his way, the young man's frozen heart regained some warmth.
With the help of other people, the possibility of rescue success can indeed be improved.
He shouldn't refuse, and he can't refuse.
Iron Feather City underground cell.
The door bolt covered with rust and blood stains creaked and screamed, and a thin and stooped figure walked into this dark and bloody place carrying a large box and holding a lantern.
His footsteps were particularly clear in the empty and silent dungeon. In the dim light, the blood stains on the walls of the cells were as dim as expired ink. Finally, his footsteps stopped in a dark room, and then he opened the iron door.
.
After regaining consciousness, Lanji squinted her eyes to adapt to the dazzling light at the door.
"Yo! Yo!"
It's an old and vibrant voice.
"Did I encounter something delicious today?"
Hanging on the execution rack, Lan Ji shook her head slightly and used the light to see clearly the appearance of the person coming.
