Chapter 214 [213] The third letter

When the young Kukemo praised in his heart, the garden official left angrily and handed over the mess to the steward.

The steward was furious because of the humiliation, stepped forward a few steps, and shouted angrily, "Let them be whipped!"

"Hit me hard!"

"Coat their wounds with bitter salt!"

"Dead? None of you will die, I will torture you!"

"Of course." He stared at Keya sternly, and said sarcastically, "We are as proud as a mountain lion, Keya, so we can't be harmed in the slightest!"

"Let him watch his father and brother suffer with his own eyes!"

Say it.

He turned away.

Keya witnessed a group of guards tying his father and younger brother to the tree trunk next to him, and his emotions were about to collapse again.

But Kukmo shouted: "Brother, don't be weak! You are the bravest man!"

"Don't let them succeed, my father and I can bear it!"

Keya held back tears and clenched his teeth.

immediately.

Crack, clap.

A sound of whipping and muffled groans of father and son sounded one after another.

The shabby clothes on their bodies turned into shreds, revealing scars torn apart.

When the guards couldn't move anymore, they added bitter salt to the bucket and sprinkled it on them.

"Keya, why make your father and brother suffer?"

"Low your head!"

"We all know that you are a venerable warrior."

They were not dissuading the housekeeper, but admired Keya from the bottom of their hearts.

But pity is useless.

No one can disobey the order of the master.

However, they left some rough tortillas, and then went to the distant resting place to continue to take care of them.

The two people on the tree trunk were already dying.

The only one among the father and son who can move is Keya, but his neck and hands are fixed by wooden cuffs, and now he can only kneel awkwardly, picking up the food in an extremely humble and humble posture.

Then he walked to his father, "Father, eat some!"

Lava said weakly, "Is there any water?"

Keya seemed at a loss, and explained: "They didn't give me water. Before dawn every day, when the morning dew gathered, I lay down on the ground and drank the dew to quench my thirst."

He looked at the small hole in the grass beside him, which was now empty and dried up by the sun for a day.

However, the retained temperature is just enough to allow water droplets to gather after the cold air at night arrives.

They don't know the principle, but it is common sense passed down from generation to generation.

Lava shook his head: "I can't eat it, so give it to you Kukmo."

However, Ku Kemo also tremblingly said, "I won't eat! Brother, I have something to ask you!"

"Take a break first, your whole body is shaking, it's my fault."

The taste of salt water sprinkled on the wound was like thousands of ants biting the body.

Seeing his younger brother's miserable condition, Keya choked up again.

But the truth is, the more Kukmo felt the pain, the more he felt sober, and his brain was running at high speed...

"No, it's important."

"Brother, why have you fallen into this state?"

First of all, we must figure out the cause, and then we will know the key...why these noble masters didn't kill Keya.

Keya didn't want to mention it at first, but seeing his father's eyes following him, he knew that he should give an explanation.

He said: "I went to Tadong City with Du Lan a year ago, only to find out that I was trafficked; I resisted and asked the city guards of Tadong City for help, who knew they were in the same group."

"Finally sent to Azka Pochalco by Napoli Poma."

"At that time, I also resigned to my fate. I saw the prosperity of this big city. If I want to develop, earn some feather coins, buy a small courtyard in the outer city, and then I will be able to bring you here."

Keya's bravery gradually won the appreciation of the garden official.

Even as a slave, he became friends with the group of guards just now.

This is all going well.

The turning point happened half a year ago——

"Inside this woodland is the royal garden."

"The so-called garden official's mansion is just a corner of the royal garden!"

Kukmo and Lava were shocked, "Is this the royal garden? Tezozomok's home?"

"Yes, but in the extremely deep place, I have never seen the appearance of the palace, and there are palace guards guarding the forest."

"Half a year ago, the princes and nobles were hunting in the garden. The garden officials ordered me to guard the periphery and drive the wild animals they captured to the central area of ​​the forest."

"On that day, I met a lost girl. I didn't know her identity at first, thinking that she was also a garden official or a servant of a palace or priest..."

"I protected her and found the guards and left."

"But later, she found this place again and asked me many things, such as Hill City, Tower Cave City, and what I have seen and heard along the way."

"We became friends...or maybe I fell in love with her."

Lava and Kukmo listened intently.

They are not educated, and they are not poisoned by the bloody love stories of later generations.

Now as pure as a piece of white paper...

Hearing the continuation of the story, I sank into it faintly, expecting something to happen.

Then, there is Wang Zha——

"Her name is Mondaya, and she is the granddaughter of Tezozomok."

sizzle.

sizzle.

The first sound is wonder.

The second sound was due to the pain that affected the wound.

As a father, Lawa was already sluggish. His son actually fell in love with the granddaughter of the greatest emperor in the world?
This, how is this possible?

Even the garrison affairs officer who met in Tadong City back then, if it weren't for the fact that the information about the change in Hill City was of great importance, they would hardly have seen each other in their entire lives.

Not to mention, his own son had disputes with the emperor's heir.

On the other side, Cukmo asked: "And then?"

Keya said in a low voice: "The matter of our meeting was discovered by her maid guard!"

"They notified the garden officer and Mondaya's father, and they seized the scene of our meeting together."

"Mondaya protected me and said that if she killed me, she would die too!"

"It was only then that I knew that Mondaya was Tezozomok's favorite granddaughter! Even his father couldn't compare to her status in front of the Tepanix king."

"It was only later that I heard from the steward and the garden officer that Mondaya's father wanted to be valued for his favor from the king."

"If word got out about Mondaya and me, they couldn't be sure that Terzomok would hate Mondaya."

"Including, if Mengdaya died, he would not be able to explain to the old lord."

"So, I have survived until now! In the next few months, they will ask Mondaya to meet me from a distance to confirm that I am still alive."

After listening to these words.

Lava felt dizzy, he couldn't understand how the intersection of two parallel lines happened.

This goes against his cognitive view.

Kukmo is more accepting. Young people are not suffering, and they still have fantasies about the most beautiful things in this world.

What is the best?
Of course it is not available.

Isn't the prince's daughter, for them, an existence that is difficult to reach like a star?

"So, they want you to fight beasts in cages?"

"Yes! They want me to deceive Mengdaya, win the battle with beasts in a cage, and get rid of slavery, but in fact they want me to die in a cage!"

"But I know that even if I do this, Mondaya will not go against what she said at the beginning!"

"We are in love, and she is willing to die with me!"

"..."

"..."

The father and son were silent.

After a long time, Keya sighed bitterly, "But now, I don't know what to do... No, I didn't know what to do from the beginning to the end!"

"I can only be imprisoned like this, hoping for the day when a miracle will happen..."

"Perhaps, the coming of the true god will bring salvation."

Just when Keya's words fell.

Cook Mo said: "Brother, the true God has come! His army of judgment has arrived at Hill City!"

"What?" Koya was shocked and dazed. "Then, why did you come here?"

The father and son seemed to be smiling wryly, and then told the stupid things they had committed.

But this time, it was Keya's turn to be silent.

If the father and younger brother hadn't escaped from the hill city, they might not have enjoyed peace and joy now.

"Yes, I'm the one who hurt you."

Rava was speechless, feeling terribly frustrated as a father.

He wanted to save the eldest son, but he also got himself and the youngest son involved.

It was Kukmo, who had heard the complete story, and the hopeless expression reappeared——

"No, father, brother, we still have hope!"

"It has been more than [-] days since I left Hill City, and the army of judgment will surely break through the pass of Tower Cave City!"

"When the Legion of God arrives in Tepanix, we will be saved!"

"These villains who committed crimes will all be judged."

"We have to hold on, we must hold on!"

"The divine envoy of the army of judgment, and Queztitko both said that anyone who believes in him and piously repents will receive his benevolent gaze and be given salvation!"

Cooko moaned in a low voice.

He looked up at the starry sky, and saw that the halo of the stars spread faintly, filling his eyes...

"I, I seem to have seen... the light..."

Whispering, he couldn't stand the exhaustion and pain anymore, lowered his head, and passed out.

"Cookmo..."

"Cook..."

Only Lava and Keya remained, shouting eagerly.

……

That night.

A car and horse arrived at the foot of the hill city and was entering the city in an orderly manner.

And climbing the mountain and others have already been waiting in the central square.

Seeing that the team was led by two people, everyone greeted them one after another, "Niushi, Weiguo, you are finally back! How is the result of this trip?"

Niushi and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other and smiled, "I'm back with a full load! Tomorrow afternoon, we can conduct test blasting in the back mountain!"

"If there is no mistake, you can send troops to Tadong City at any time, break through the pass, and the sword of judgment will point directly at the city-state valley!"

Enter the town hall.

Everyone can't wait to see God's will.

The two cowshits rushed back after hearing the scout's urgent report, otherwise, wouldn't the more black powder creations, the better?

However, leaving the coastal woodland, there are still craftsmen who continue to collect sulfur ore, and the materials will continue to flow, and the creations will continue to be produced.

Zhou Damin, who was in charge of delivering the decree, took out the secret letter.

There are three letters in total.

"The first letter is the decree to the presiding judge, deputy presiding judge and supervisor."

Niushi was in charge of opening the envelope, and recognized it at a glance, "This is the handwriting of the witch!"

Everyone showed joy, and hurriedly asked: "What about the content?"

Bullshit first briefly read it through, and then said after confirming that there is no secret order:
"My Lord God has a purpose—"

"In the holy name of balance, I send down the will of judgment to purify and baptize the evil land full of sin."

"However, the world is ignorant and ignorant, and has been poisoned by sin; when the sword of judgment is swung down, there is only panic and fear, but they don't know..."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all grace from God!"

"I came here with a heart of mercy, but I saw people abandon my deeds, turn their eyes away from balance, and walk towards the false and evil."

"Wait for you to know..."

"Whoever abandons me and stays away from me will also be ignored and exiled in a balanced way; let him make a powerless appeal for help, but will not be redeemed."

"Only those who are close to me, who are willing to come to my way and dedicate their piety and repentance, will be my people. I will use my kindness to cast the light of redemption on him, save him from the brink of death, and regain his new life. "

Talk to here.

People couldn't help looking at Queztitko.

Beside Quiztitko, there was an interpreter from the monk Law. Hearing these words, everything became clear, tears filled his eyes, and he knelt down under the statue in the hall, praising endlessly.

Niushi took a deep breath, and said again: "The battle of Tadong City must end within 10 days..."

"However, at this point, the sign of judgment is complete!"

Speaking of this, the bullshit of reading the will is all covered.

And there was an uproar in the venue.

"What, what does this mean?"

"If you take down Tadong City, you won't be able to fight?"

"But the real sinner is in the valley further south."

Zhou Weiguo was also at a loss, but he regained his composure in a very short time, "Silence! No matter whether you are advancing or retreating, it is His guidance and precepts. We only need to follow them! This is a pious belief."

Hear this.

Everyone is busy shutting up and giving praises——

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

In fact, there is more to come.

Niushi said: "The army of judgment has entered Tadong City, and there must be another trial!"

"Whoever commits a crime must be judged; declare it to all peoples, and spread my doctrine of balance."

"Let the world know that those who are willing to submit to the balance can embark on a glorious return journey with the army of judgment, and gain joy and peace!"

"Anyone who votes for faith, you must regard him as a brother and sister, shelter him, help him, and be his solid shield."

"If you don't want to, just ignore him and let him go;"

"Those who cannot be judged and purified will eventually be swallowed by sin and disaster!"

"When the last person who is willing to embark on the glorious return journey arrives, it will be the day of your triumphant return; I have placed a 'blessed land' on the return journey, so that you will not be disturbed by hunger and poverty during the trials of the difficult journey!"

Read it here.

Bullshit closed the letters, heralding the end of the first decree.

The Judgment March ends in Tower Cave City?
It was difficult for everyone to accept at first.

But after listening to the will behind them, they gradually realized——

"The grace of our lord can be obtained by anyone?"

"If the whereabouts of the 49 people in this hill city are unknown, it is written in the decree of the gods. My Lord must have watched and seen their deeds!"

"If you don't want to get close to the balance, how can my lord favor him?"

"The deserters are the people abandoned by God; they can only be devoured by disaster, but we should not show mercy, because this evil result is their choice."

After some reading of bullshit, everyone finally resonated with Balance's will.

in short--

We are here to save you, and you are still unwilling, so why should I do anything unnecessary?

Climbing the mountain said at this time: "We all obey the will of God and will never disobey!"

"Whoever is my brother and sister, I will give him protection and redemption, and be his solid shield!"

"Those who don't want to, ignore him and let him go; the consequences will be reaped!"

Everyone nodded heavily, "Thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace! Praise my Lord, praise balance..."

then.

Niushi took out the second letter, and he smiled when he saw it, "This is a letter from home, it's Xiaohua... Wynn's handwriting!"

As soon as everyone heard it, the serious atmosphere in the hall was swept away and turned into ridicule and jokes.

The matter of bullshit and the chief is well known by now.

However, after hearing the content of the letter, everyone couldn't laugh——

"what?"

"Zhou Jijun has received the grace of my Lord's 'Blessing of Longevity'?"

"Are you reading that right? Is it the successor? The stupid successor..."

"Huh?" Shangshan frowned, and his sharp eyes searched around...

Who, who openly slandered my son?

Do you want to say that my son is blessed with longevity?
Impossible, this is impossible! !
And at the same time.

The messenger Zhou Damin took out the third divine decree, opened the envelope and divided it into two, and there were actually two letters.

One copy was given to Zhou Weiguo.

The other was given to Queztitko.

Zhou Damin said: "This is a secret letter from Quiztitko, and it is not allowed to be viewed by third parties; my lord has a purpose, and it will be burned after reading it!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be punished by God!!"

The words fall.

The noisy and restless scene in the previous moment was instantly silent.
