Working Prophet.

Chapter 123 New Candidates

Miss Rabbit thought about it for five days, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.

At most, the mercenaries and their own guards are mixed into a team, which can reduce some casualties, but if they do this, there will be problems in command and deployment.

Those mercenaries were not fools, they would definitely run away when the situation was not good, and they didn't mind selling out all their companions just to survive.

So Pablo would rather go deep into the swamp alone than go with those mercenaries.

Ilea managed to calm down the hot-tempered knight for the time being, instead of letting him go to death alone.

But the manpower Ilea that Pablo asked for was simply not available.

With the lessons learned from the previous team, there are very few guards who are willing to join the team this time, and most of them are old. Some of them even have bad legs and feet. Miss Rabbit suspects that the other party is simply going for the pension. .

Such a person must not be wanted. Ilea sent someone to find the dragon, not because she was afraid that the dragon would be hungry, so she sent someone to give it extra food.

So the girl finally decided to follow the old rules and ask Li Yu when she was indecisive.

"...In short, the current situation is like this." Miss Rabbit said, "I can't find any manpower here, how about your side, those lizardmen, um...are they willing to go deeper into that swamp? ?”

"The lizard people are very afraid of that dragon, but they always put their race first, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves if necessary." Li Yu paused.

"However, they have all joined the Shuangxiu religion now. My Lord values ​​the lives of every believer on Saturday. In order to save people, especially the two members of their tribe in the team, I can send them to venture into the swamp to search.

"But now that I have found evidence that the previous team has encountered an accident, I have no reason to let them risk their lives to go back and face the nightmare of the past."

"Is that so?" Miss Rabbit couldn't hide her disappointment, "But if the lizard people don't want to send out more people, even if I have enough people on my side, without a guide, the team can hardly survive in the swamp, what's more Don't talk about finding that dragon."

"Who says there are no guides?"

"Ok?"

"I heard that in two days you will execute the murderer who killed the Trinidad knight's family." Li Yu said suddenly.

"You want to intercede for them?" Ilea frowned, "The Trinidad knights have always been loyal to their family, but their family was brutally slaughtered by the lizardmen. I took a step back before and only let those lizardmen hand over Bring out the murderer.

"If I let go of these three people, it will chill the hearts of my vassals."

"I didn't ask you to let people go, I just suggested to let them play their remaining heat before they die." Li Yu said, "It just so happens that your second team needs a guide, and they can be guides, instead of letting them just be like this." It is better to let them die at the hand of the dragon than to lose their heads in vain and die under the executioner's ax."

"But what if they don't die?" the girl asked back.

"That means they found the dragon. This credit should make you rethink your sentence."

"So you're still pleading for them?"

Li Yu didn't deny it, "Looking at the results of the first team, looking for dragons is a matter of narrow escape, so let's just hand over their sins to fate to judge... As for the leader of the team, I can also recommend it to you." a choice."

"Oh, who?"

"He is also in your dungeon, and his time is numbered."

"Wait, don't you want me to let Jude go with you?" Miss Rabbit showed a strange look on her face.

Before Li Yu could answer, she shook her head again and said, "No, that's fine with the lizardman. Jude must not be let go. He is a remnant of the Enriquez family. The reward offered more than 900 years ago is still valid today. I must put his I handed over the head to Marquis Cullen, in fact, I have already made a decision to deal with him after the three lizardmen are executed."

"Then can you find other people who are willing to lead a team to find that dragon?"

"Well... Pablo Cavalier said he could go."

"You and I both know that Pablo's real purpose is to seek revenge on the dragon. If you let him go, he will only lose his life in vain."

The girl was speechless, she knew that what Li Yu said was the truth.

But the question of Jude's identity is too sensitive. Compared with him, those members of the Wetting family are nothing.

Seeing the girl hesitated, Li Yu didn't urge her either.

…………

Two days later, guards came to the dungeon and took the three lizard men away.

Seeing this, Jude whistled, regardless of whether the lizardmen could understand it or not, and said to them, "Are you going to say goodbye? I will miss you, you are all good roommates, right, black beauty .”

After Jude said the last sentence, he looked at the loyal big black dog.

After being imprisoned for such a long time, although Ilea didn't treat this person or dog too badly in terms of food, perhaps because she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, the black beauty still seemed a little sluggish.

"Don't worry, I guess it will be our turn soon." Jude reached out and stroked the big black dog's head while speaking.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the two guards who had left before left and returned.

Opening his cell door, Jude said coldly from inside, "Come out!"

Jude's expression finally changed this time. Although he knew that he was doomed from the moment his identity was exposed and he was caught, it was luck that he could live for two more months, but when this moment really came, he Still feel a little caught off guard.

He forced a smile on his face, "Aren't we only executing those lizard people today? I'm not on the same side as them."

"Stop talking nonsense, just come out if you are told." The guard said with a serious face, "Don't force us to do it!"

Jude glanced at the hand crossbow in the opponent's hand, then at the black beauty at his feet who was ready to go, and finally gave up the idea of ​​resistance.

Even if he and the black beauty can get rid of the two people in front of them, they can't escape from the castle.

Jude sighed, obediently left the cell where he was locked up, and murmured, "This story tells us that it's best not to be too happy when you see other people's misfortune."

However, to Jude's surprise, he was not taken outside the castle for execution, but instead came to the hall on the second floor.

The three lizardmen who were taken away were also there.

On the other side of the hall, the new Patriarch of the Arias family was sitting upright, and Li Yu was also on her left.

Jude keenly sensed that there might be a turning point in the matter.

So he looked up at Miss Rabbit, grinned and said, "Long time no see, do you guys miss me?"

Miss Rabbit has been dealing with Jude for so long, and she knows that being full of flirty words is this guy's usual means of hiding his true thoughts and bargaining with others.

But this time the girl didn't intend to quarrel with him any more, and said bluntly, "I have a deal I want to discuss with you. If you agree, I will tell you the content of the deal. If you don't agree, I will let the guards take you to execution."
