…
Joe sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the seven crooked bars at his feet in a daze.
That's the number of days.
Every day that passed, he would dig a line in the ground with his fingers.
And today is the seventh day.
Whether Farina is still alive or not, and whether Lorenzo is still tormenting her, he has long dared not think about these questions. As long as he thinks a little, there will be a stinging pain in his heart.
Joe began to wonder if he might have made a wrong choice.
Although the personal guard Sean agreed to his request, and even though he was not subjected to any abuse after being imprisoned, Graycastle was too far from the heart of the wolf. It will take at least a month for him to make a decision and send out the wolf heart when the news is passed on to the King of Greycastle. If you add discussion, consideration, and priority of things, I'm afraid it will be later.
He had no confidence that Roland Wimbledon would treat the church's infighting like domestic affairs.
Even refusal is not impossible.
In that case, all his efforts would have failed.
Joe looked down at the chains on his ankles.
It connects itself to the foot of the bed, and is about the length of one person.
Maybe it's time to use this chain to...
"Hey, are you awake?" The tent's curtain was suddenly lifted, and the dazzling light came in, making him unconsciously narrow his eyes, "I didn't sleep. If that's the case, come with us."
"Go... Where are you going?" The sudden light seemed to interrupt his thoughts, and his mind was as blank as the ground.
"Of course it's going to Wolf Heart. Why, aren't you in a hurry to save your lover?"
His eyes gradually adjusted to the sunlight, and it was Sean who was standing in front of him.
Then a key was lost.
Only then did Joe realize the meaning of the other party's words, and he grabbed the key tremblingly, "Difficult, could it be..."
"His Majesty approved the rescue plan and decided to escort you back to Neverwinter for trial." Sean said calmly, "The team in charge of this operation has arrived at Coral Bay. After meeting with them, they can go directly to Grand Duke Island."
Already... Arrived
How can it be so fast
He could hardly believe his ears.
But now is not the time to think about it!
Qiao hurriedly opened the lock, and staggered when he stood up because his legs were sitting cross-legged for a long time, but he finally stood up straight.
"If you feel unwell..."
"No, please take me there!"
he implored eagerly.
Sean raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Come on then."
Joe looked back at the mark on the ground. The twisted horizontal bar was printed with a silver edge by the sun, as if it was shining brightly.
He doesn't know what kind of future awaits him.
But he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Joe took a deep breath and followed the guards out of the tent.
…
after one day.
Coral Bay.
This is the easternmost port in Dawn. Compared with those ports that are closer to Graycastle and the fjord, it is undoubtedly much deserted. This has been especially true since Wolf Heart and Yongdong were swept away by the church. The fall of the royal family and the struggle for power among nobles are still in chaos, and trade has also declined a lot. Most of the sailboats docked at the docks are flying the flag of the Fjords Chamber of Commerce, while ships from the two northern countries are rarely seen.
Among the sparse ships, there is one that stands out.
It has no sails, black smoke rises above its head, huge wooden wheels hang on both sides, and the hull looks like it is made of stones.
The legendary Greycastle stone ship.
Joe thought.
Although I have heard of its existence, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.
A group of people boarded the deck, and two people immediately greeted them.
The visitors were a man and a woman.
Joe's eyes swept across the two of them quickly, and his heart was slightly condensed.
For some reason, he vaguely felt that the woman seemed to be familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Ah, it turned out to be Ms. Zoe and Ms. Betty," Sean greeted them warmly, "Has Your Majesty entrusted this operation to you?"
"Because we happened to be in Neverwinter at the time, and we came to Dawn before." The woman shrugged, "If it wasn't for His Majesty's intention, I really didn't want to come so far... The front line has already fought against the devil, so I should stay there. Yes."
"Furthermore, I prefer you to use the title of "Miss" instead of "Ms."," the man grinned. "I'm different from Zoe. I'm the last group to wake up, and it's only a hundred years old."
"A hundred years is not enough for the youngest?" The woman cast a glance at him.
"But it's always weird. In the dream world, those people are scrambling to call my little sister. Of course... Her Lady Queen is not impossible."
"It's still a lady," Sean looked helpless, "if you two think it's better."
Wait... what are they talking about? Joe looked at each other blankly, ma'am? Miss? No matter how you look at him, he is a man. And what does it mean that you have already fought with the devil? The red moon did not appear, what is the devil in their mouths
"This person is the last priest of the church?" The woman called Zoe looked at him a few times, "The hope that the Queen of Starfall had deposited has turned into a tool for foolish people to fight for power and gain, although she was once an enemy, she also took care of her. It feels a little worthless."
"So it's a kind of reincarnation for us to end all this." The other person nodded, "Since everyone is here, let's set off."
Are you here
Qiao ignored the inexplicable words in front of him, and hurriedly looked around, the stone ship was not big enough to accommodate an army, but there were no other Greycastle ships around.
"Sir..." Joe gritted his teeth and asked the doubts in his heart.
It was Zooey who answered him, "The rescue team you mentioned is right here."
here
As if verifying what he was thinking, the other party pointed to himself and then to Betty, "Me and her are the whole of the team."
Joe looked at Sean in horror, "Sir! Lorenzo also has a God's Punishment Army under his command."
"Five people, no more than ten people at most, right?" The latter interrupted him.
He stared at each other blankly, unable to answer even a "yes". Why, why are the expressions of the three people so relaxed, that is a monster far beyond the body of ordinary people!
Ignorance so fearless? How could it be? It's hard for other people to say. Graycastle had a head-to-head battle with the God's Punishment Army in Cold Wind Ridge. The understanding of this kind of terrifying warrior should be second only to the church.
Even with powerful firearms, storming the castle will weaken the advantage in range. Once you enter a narrow area and meet the God's Punishment Samurai, it will be difficult for the firearm to knock down the opponent in an instant. After all, they are not afraid of pain, and they will never stop killing until they can't move.
According to his vision, at least one to two hundred people must enter the door, advance layer by layer, and clear the enemy room by room, in order to win the castle at a relatively small price. Below this number, casualties could increase substantially.
But... two people
how can that be!
"You're thinking how this is possible, right?" Zooey sneered, "That's because you don't know anything about Lord Akalis' plan. In the end, it's just a bunch of empty shells without souls, let us two It is more than enough to come to deal with it.”
