Vol 5 Chapter 76: Captive (Part 2)

After leaving the cell, Loren stood silent by the campfire for a long time.
"Duke?"
The Earl of Angercastle came forward cautiously, lowering his voice so that he would not think about him.
"Huh? Oh ... Eckert." Loren raised his head and looked at him in a trance, barely smiled: "Let the alchemist in the army send some medicine to the dwarf-as far as possible to meet all his requirements until Until he recovers. "
"Follow your orders." Ike nodded characteristically, turning around to go, suddenly stopped as if remembering something, hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, or chose to speak:
"Are you going to accept his terms?"
Loren stunned, then glanced at the doubted Eckert, gently raised the corner of his mouth: "Do you suspect that he is lying to me?"
Although hesitating and struggling, Paulis Mihailo "confessed".
Not only helped Loren find the tunnel leading to the inside of the fortress, but also promised to cooperate with the siege army to open the city gate when the time was right, and attacked Silver Helmet without any blood.
The only requirement is that Loren must go with him.
"It doesn't matter-there are often people who lie, dwarves who lie? Probably not yet born." Eckert shook his head:
"More importantly, he has no reason to lie to you."
The dark-haired wizard nodded and agreed.
For Loren, humans, elves, dwarves, centaurs ... there is no essential difference, he does not believe that there is any race in this world that will not lie.
Those who do not understand lies must also be dishonest. Such guys often lie to themselves.
Loren only believed in two things, motivation and self.
To be reasonable, he did not need to use his own—according to the information sent by Little Yoder, the dwarf civil war should not be an act; then neither the Supreme King nor the rebels needed to find a new enemy for him.
Of course, people's hearts are unpredictable, and some people will make irrational actions; if this is the case, Loren will not object to the "Silver Helmet Battle" like the imperial capital, to help this group of honest dwarves "long snack ".
Finally, the most important message for Loren-the hiding place of Fanesis.
Nowhere is this bishop ’s whereabouts pure.
In Ebden, it is to destroy the Holy Grail of the Nine Stars;
In the Dragon King City, to find the second holy grail;
In the Red Blood Castle, it was to liberate and control Brunnhilde and completely destroy Byrne ... this time, there should be no exceptions.
The only question may be what he is looking for in Silver Helmet Mountain and what is attracting him.
Paulis Mihailo mentioned that Silver Helmet Mountain was the first place in the world where Mithril Mine was discovered ... is it related to this?
"You have made up your mind, Duke?" Although it was a rhetorical question, Eckert's tone was very sure: "Or ... ... have a plan?"
"Huh." Loren glanced at him, his face turned sideways: "Do you still disagree?"
"I just don't agree that you are in danger alone." Ector looked up at him without any concealment: "After three vacancies, you are the first Duke of Byrne and the most special. One! "
"You are too young to have enough prestige, and you don't have a suitable heir-there are empire guards and restraints outside, and there is the coveted younger generation of the Round Table Parliament inside, and the status and power are unimaginable."
"In this case, a fiasco is enough to defeat you, not to mention being in danger and doing this at the risk of death!"
Eckert said very sincerely and really: "I am loyal to you because I am loyal to Byrne, do not want to see her fall apart again, or fall into turmoil and be manipulated or even annexed by outsiders."
"After three generations, you are the first duke after our reunification. I sincerely wish you are not the last one, and you don't have to see such a miserable scene."
"That's why I'm going." Loren smiled. "Protection of Boye is the responsibility of the Duke of Baine; capturing the dwarf's fortress is something that even the knight king has never done."
"But if you die, we're done, Byrne is gone, everything will be lost."
"Then I will fight for it and try to come back alive." Loren smiled. "I actually care about my life ... at least so far."
"You are gambling, gambling with your own life!"
"You're right, this is gambling-it will be very dangerous, and maybe not only me, but also the 25,000 people, plus the lives of all the people of Bayern and Poi.
The future is uncertain, no one can know what will be met next, no one can guess who the next enemy will be;
Waiting in front may be a fortress that can be captured by the gates of the city, and the twelfth generation of Byrne will build hundreds of years or even thousands of years, and all the knights have not completed the achievements;
Maybe it was a formidable barrier, a garrison that was waiting for it, and even a terrible monster-we all saw what kind of ‘things’ would become for those who drank the Holy Blood Potion!
This will be an unknown expedition, and I can understand it with anxiety.
But now the situation is that I have made a decision, so ...
What do you say? ! "
Slowly raising his head, Loren looked at the people in the camp and greeted them with their eyes.
People with different faces exchanged their eyes, and the dignified atmosphere was like substance in the air.
With a sigh, Earl Eckert stepped forward, and his eyes fell upon Earl Shanyanbao first.
"Look at me?"
Guy Angert glared at his old friend fiercely, pushed arrogantly away from Earl Salald, and stood directly in front of Loren:
"I said during the coronation ceremony, as long as you drink that glass of wine, there will naturally be someone from Shanyanbao going to fight for you on the battlefield."
"Now, it's time we sold our lives!"
"Lake Heart City is also the same!" Count Ramallos also stepped forward, with a saber of Bosivar, Earl of Lookout Peak hanging around his waist:
"We are Bayern, and loyalty is above all virtue-I have vowed to be loyal to you, no matter what you want to do, this life, this drive alone!"
With a sigh of relief, Loren turned his attention to Eckert again.
The expression of the Earl of Forgery seemed very helpless, but he still lowered his head slightly and said calmly: "I once said that you and Roland Turin are completely different people."
"But what you can't do with" Duke Black ", maybe you can do it." Eckert raised his eyes and said lightly: "So, if this is your wish ..."
"I will fight for you until I die!"
Seeing that someone had already made a decision, the remaining Earl Byrne and the knights also nodded, showing an expression of approval.
For the Bayerns, there is nothing more glorious in the world than the establishment of karma; the capture of the dwarf's fortress ... this is an achievement that the Bayerns have never completed.
Whether they succeed or fail, they will be recorded in history.
In this way, Byrne's internal opinions have been basically unified, and only the Boi people remain.
"I will ask one thing."
Salika Jonah said coldly, with a cold face: "The man who killed my men with the Holy Blood Potion ~ EbookFREE.me ~ caused this war and poisoned the entire big boiled collar ... whether it is there or not That castle ?! "
Loren frowned slightly, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "I can't be 100% sure, but at least this fortress is where he used to hide, or ..."
"enough!"
Salika said coldly, her eyes determined: "That's enough!"
"I do n’t need so much nonsense, I ’ll do it with you-as long as you promise me, and wait until you have captured the Silver Helmet Mountain, that ’s life is mine; before I cut him thousands of times, and shattered my body; Break off one finger, tear the opening to fill the skin with mercury, and hang it before the tree lights the sky ...
Loren Turin, you have to keep him alive, and to live well, you can't miss a nail! "
Looking at the indifferent girl, as well as the poemless warrior behind her, Loren ignored the already creepy, wide-eyed Earl Byrne, and even hesitated:
"Remember to call me when lighting the sky lantern, everything is easy to discuss."
