Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 124 Monty VII (1)

Monty Apollon hates this dungeon, he wakes up cold every night.

He was stripped of his silk clothes, leaving only a thin linen short sleeve, and the coldness in this dark and damp cell was bitter. The person who built this dungeon must have made the place cold on purpose.

There is no sunlight here, even the light of the torch is pitifully weak, the food is cold porridge that is hard to swallow, but if he does not finish it immediately, the wooden bowl will be taken away by the jailer, and then he will be starved for a whole day .

It has to be said that he misses all the food he usually eats in Madekalin, whether it's the cannelloni wrapped in grape leaves, the fried calamari or the fried puff pastry drizzled with honey or the stuffed with minced beef and pine nuts the eggplant...

He shook his head, he couldn't continue fantasizing about these foods, just thinking about the taste of these things made him even hungrier.

Monty swears that when they pick a jailer, these people are looking for the most depraved and despised scum of the guards.Because of this, when they deal with the prisoner, they will insult and insult him "unsparingly" as if they have been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And just like that he has to pretend he doesn't understand Vivarian spoken by these dumb-looking fools, and he's going to keep pretending like this in silence, because he's already heard a lot of useful information .

For example, "Duke of Bone" Lek Mostek is still in a coma, while his younger brother Melch "Black Hart" Mostek is gathering an unprecedented army to prepare for the upcoming war.Mundy didn't think any Duke's army could defeat the elite troops of the Hastza Empire. Even though his father often said that the empire's troops were young men with no combat experience, there was a huge gap between their equipment and numbers. The Dukes Fighting the Empire on the open land will give you no chance.

But he is still locked in this damn dungeon now, and when the real battle starts, he may have been driven crazy by boredom.

Monty didn't know how people spent years or even decades in a dungeon. For him, a day in the dungeon was longer than a year outside.He had nothing to do, no books to read, no one to talk to, only his own thoughts for company, and they were not pleasant.

He was lying on the hard stone bed, no matter whether he opened his eyes or closed his eyes, the surrounding area was pitch black.He wants to find a way to escape from here, but what can he do?With his bare hands and chains on his feet, all attempts seemed to be in vain.

When "Black Hart" Melch took him away from Dark Anvil, Zhuo Ke led his guards to rescue him, but his brother not only failed, but was injured by a bow and arrow in the process. Then he was chased and killed by the rider, and now he doesn't know if he escaped.

He worries for his brother and despairs of his own situation.Maybe the meeting with Zhuo Ke under the Dark Anvil was the last time they met. Maybe the Mosteks never thought of asking for a ransom. "Black Hart" said it himself, he didn't regard Monty as the only one at all. chips, which means that they are not an integral part of their plan.

Monty had never so much wished that the thoughts in his head were wrong, but he wondered what these Mosteks would do to him.He saw the bones hanging on the gloomy city wall of the city of bones, and there was a wooden board with the words "son of the coward" hanging around the neck of the bones.

Suddenly, there was a faint noise from the entrance of the dungeon, and the fat jailer, who was lying on the wooden table and carving something, held the knife in his hand, picked up the torch hanging on the wall and walked out.Monty also got up and stumbled to the iron door of the cell, poking his head out as much as possible, wanting to see what happened. After all, in this boring dungeon, things that usually seem normal will appear Extra fun.

Someone outside was talking, but Monty couldn't make out anything with his ear as far as he could go.After a while, the jailer started to walk back, but it was not just his footsteps, who else followed him.

Monty shrank back again, leaning against the stone wall of the cell, carefully observing the movement outside the iron door.

"Mondy Apollion." The majestic voice called his name, and he had heard the voice before, it was Melch Mostek the Black Hart.

The burly Melch walked up to the door of Monty's cell, still wearing his black leather jacket trimmed with antlers.

"How are you doing these days?" Melch asked in Hastza.There was a rare look of excitement and joy on his face.

"This is the dungeon," replied Monty in the dark. "I'd be lying if I said I was doing well."

Melch Mostek smiled coldly, "There are many places in the city of Bones that are worse than this dungeon, Your Royal Highness Hastza. I think you should be thankful that I didn't take you Throw it in the bone hole."

"You came to see me, is there something?" Monty didn't want to thank Melch who locked him here, and he didn't want to know what the damn bone hole was.

"Yes, I have good news for you," said Melch, "maybe it's nothing for you, but it's good news for me. My prayers to the gods have been answered, my brother woke up."

"The Duke is awake?" Monty was a little surprised, and said after quick thinking: "It seems that Queen Lozaria's poison is not very powerful."

"No, that bitch's poison is the most vicious, and no one should wake up after being poisoned." Melch denied, "The fate of the person who eats the Symbiosis Dream Flower is to be in a coma until death, and Lek's awakening It's a miracle created by the gods."

"I've never heard of this poison, congratulations, Lord Melch," said Monty.Although "Black Deer" seems to be a fearful and difficult person to get along with, his affection for his brother seems to be very deep.

"It's a pity for your brother." Melch said slowly, "When he brought a dozen people to rescue you, even I was touched by him."

"What's the matter with him?" Monty asked eagerly, his eyes wide.

"He fled, and the soldiers of Darkanvil lost them. He was no coward, I admit."

Melch's answer made Monty heave a sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted to hear was that Zhuo Ke was caught or killed. He was the future of the Hastza Empire.

"Boy, I need you to do something for me." Melch said in a commanding tone: "Write a letter to your emperor father, saying that you are now safe and treated like a guest by us, so that he doesn't have to Worried, focus all your energy on the war with the dukes in the south..."
