Heart of the Castle

Chapter 131 Pardon order, hidden murderous intent

"Just please the people around Li Wei?" Viscount Lane thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, Trion, although I am not a knight, I still have some understanding of the knight's creed. Unless something happens It is an extremely special situation, otherwise a knight will not leave the object of his allegiance and turn to others. Your method may be able to get some elite fighters away from Levi, but for the urgently needed high-end combat power, whether you use money to buy , or using female sex to seduce, it has no effect."

Trion's smile grew even sweeter.

"Of course my plan is not that simple. Noble knights will not be moved by money and women, but for righteousness, this is their most fatal weakness. And in this regard, Master Ryan, you happen to be in control of righteousness! "

"I have the righteousness in my hands? Trion, please explain in detail." Viscount Lane's eyes flickered, obviously being moved by the persuasion.

"If it was before the catastrophe came, it might be difficult to impress those knights. But what time is it now? The catastrophe is coming, and mankind is facing a catastrophe. At this time, as the highest military officer of the viscount, Mr. Ryan, It has the most powerful moral weapon." Trien's tone became high-pitched, and there was a sonorous force in his voice, "The knight's creed allows them to abide by their oath, but in the face of the righteousness of fighting against the invasion of demons, their oath It will look so insignificant. As long as you send a eloquent messenger with an order to pardon Li Wei's crimes, you can easily contact the knights around him. At that time, use the name of righteousness to lobby them, plus Enough temptation of money, whether it is fame or real gain, will satisfy the psychological needs of these noble knights, and at that time..."

"By that time, none of the knights around Li Wei will stay." Viscount Ryan slapped his thigh heavily, with excitement in his eyes. "Trian, you old fox is really insidious!"

"It's insidious there? Isn't it for the well-being of Lord Ryan and all the people in the territory?" Trien said sternly, and then there were knowing smiles on the faces of the pair of master and servant.

Viscount Lane's pardon for the crimes of apprentice servant Li Wei was delivered to the refugee camp by a messenger on a horse in the afternoon three days later.When the envoys arrived, the building was in full swing, and a strong man carrying logs passed by proudly; a girl carrying a food basket laughed and jumped over the ditch on the ground; a tall and thin man with one foot Stepping on the half of the guard wall of the watchtower, leaning out and looking down, his sharp eyes just fell on the messenger who rode out from the dense forest.

"Stranger on horseback, please stay there and explain why you are here." The tall and thin man said lazily.

"I come from Viscount Lane's castle. By the order of His Excellency, I am sending this pardon to Li Wei, the trainee servant. This is my identity certificate. Please check." The messenger sat on the horseback, raised his head, with a hint of arrogance said out loud.

In his hand, he held up a sheepskin scroll covered with the coat of arms of impatiens and shields, which was the symbol of Viscount Lane's family.

In the mind of the envoy, seeing this coat of arms representing the highest authority in the Viscount Land, the refugee camp would definitely open the door wide and welcome him in with the most solemn etiquette.Even if it is difficult for these country bumpkins to show decent etiquette, the envoy with a heavy responsibility has secretly made a decision to allow the other party's vulgar behavior.

However, to the envoy's surprise, the tall and thin man on the watchtower looked at the sheepskin scroll with contemptuous eyes, then opened his mouth and yawned.

"It's so boring. You can claim to be the emissary of Viscount Lane by getting a piece of sheepskin, so if I just find a stone and put it on, can I call myself the Earl Gregor of the Magic Mountain family?"

The tall and thin man's words almost made the envoy's lungs explode, especially the feeling of being looked down from a high position was even more embarrassing. The envoy clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and uttered a threatening cry into the air.

"The hillbillies of the dead! The leader named Li Wei who told you that I am the emissary sent by Viscount Lane, holding his pardon for crimes in his hand! If he misses it, he will never want to take it. Sinner's hat!"

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the tall and thin man, his shoulders shook, and a silver longbow was already in his hand.The envoy was startled, and just about to ask him what he wanted to do, the tall and thin man had already drawn his bow and arrow, and the cold light of the arrow pointed at the envoy's throat!

"You, what do you want to do?"

The envoy was able to come here safely through the dense forest. Of course, he was not an ordinary civilian. In fact, he was one of the old housekeeper Trien's cronies, and he was also a thief who had reached level 5.If it was an ordinary bow and arrow, with the current distance from the watchtower, the envoy was confident that he could dodge easily. In fact, they were nearly a hundred steps away from each other, and there was no way for the bow and arrow to reach the envoy at all.

But when the tall and thin man aimed at the messenger's throat, the veteran thief found in horror that his body was surrounded by an indescribable sense of fear, so that his usually flexible movements became stiff.The messenger was very clear that there could only be one source of this sense of fear.

death threat.

Being aimed at by the tall and thin man's bow and arrow, at this distance, he will definitely die.

This is the conclusion reached by the messenger based on his own experience.

The messenger told himself rationally that this conclusion was absolutely wrong, no archer could kill a veteran thief with a single arrow at a distance of nearly a hundred steps.However, his intuition also clearly made him realize that it was definitely an inevitable result.

Move and die.

The early morning misty wind was damp, and it was cold and damp on the body, but the messenger's body was drenched with sweat.Even the beads of sweat rolling down from his forehead hung next to his eyes, itching so much that the emissary didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off, for fear of being misunderstood by that terrifying sharpshooter and giving him an arrow through his throat.

From the calm and indifferent eyes of the other party, the messenger knew very well that the tall and thin man would never take murder seriously.When shooting the sharp arrow in his hand, there will be no hesitation because of his identity.

"Sir Grace, since he is the envoy of Viscount Lane, please tolerate his offense once." A clear voice came from the camp, and the corners of the tall and thin man on the watchtower twitched, and then nodded. Take up the bow and arrow.The messenger let out a sigh of relief, and when he was about to yell, he saw the tall and thin man gesture towards his neck, making a very ferocious expression.

The messenger immediately decided to shut up and bury all dissatisfaction in his heart.

Li Wei gave the messenger the feeling that he was extraordinarily young, and it seemed that he would not be more than 16 years old at most, and the youth and passion were still brimming with youth.Thinking of his mission, the emissary actually couldn't bear to hand over the pardon to the other party for a moment.

However, this is just an instinctive guilt. Since this messenger is the old butler Trien's confidant, he has done countless unreasonable things.A little guilt was quickly pressed into the bottom of his heart, and the messenger showed Li Weiyan the wax seal on the sheepskin scroll, and then gently peeled it off with his nimble fingers.

"Apprentice servant Li Wei, this is the order of His Excellency the Viscount to pardon you for all crimes, please accept it." The messenger said in a very solemn tone, then raised the sheepskin scroll with both hands, and sent it to Li Wei.

Li Wei took the scroll with both hands, and opened it in front of him. The area of ​​this sheepskin scroll is not too large, and a few lines of text are written on it with thick and smooth cursive characters.

"In the name of the supreme military and political leader of Viscount Ryan, pardon the trainee servant Li Wei for all the crimes he committed during the disaster, so that he is eligible to take up arms again and serve the lord."

Finally, the signature of the Viscount himself.

It seems that this pardon is true, but when Li Wei read it word by word, the word "crime" written in thick black cursive script kept shaking in front of his eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable a feeling of.

"Li Wei, how is it? This is His Excellency Viscount Lane's grace to you, don't you want to accept it quickly?" The envoy's urging made Li Wei feel that something was wrong. He read the words on the sheepskin scroll carefully, and a thought appeared in his heart. He hesitated for a while.

A voice questioned him: "Why don't you accept it? Isn't this what you look forward to the most after you were expelled from the Viscount's Castle?"

However, another voice reminded him: "Little guy, that pardon has its own problems, absolutely don't accept it!"

Li Wei woke up suddenly, the voice that made him accept the pardon came from his heart, and the other voice was not his voice!

It's Mr. Dish, the old wizard!
