On the Seven Towers

Mo Yu and others watched the priest check all the slaves. Among the ones glowing yellow, he picked out three relatively good ones, put them together with the healthy slaves, and then his eyes fell on On the few remaining people.

Bella said: "He won't kill these people too, right?"

Sure enough, the priest reached out and was about to nod the remaining people on their heads. The slaves were trembling with fear, but they were accustomed to obedience and did not dare to make any move.

Jia Luo felt Mo Yu's body move behind him and knew that she was about to take action. He hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Master Priest, if these slaves are killed by you, what will you do?" Will you pay?"

The priest glanced at him and said, "Don't always put money where your mouth is when it comes to serving the gods. This will make you corrupt."

Gallo said: "Priest, I am just a small officer serving the lord. Of course I am willing to serve the God of Nature, but the money is not mine, but my lord's. I am just fulfilling my duty It is my duty to reduce losses for the Marquis.

You must know that what the envoy from the kingdom said to our Lord Marquis at that time was: No matter whether they are injured or not, as long as you bring people to this place, you can receive money according to the number of living people. We traveled from such a far place for nearly half a month to get here. The expenses on the road alone were already huge. If people are killed and the money is not counted, I can't tell the Marquis. explained. "

"How you explain it to your master is your business. Do you expect me, a silver-leaf priest, to pay attention to these minute details?" Yes, you can ask their queen for money. I only accept useful people and only pay these people."

Gallo secretly laughed in his heart. He had known for a long time that these priests would not be so generous. In his opinion, these guys in the Temple of Nature were the best at making superficial remarks. What they said at first was one thing, but what they actually did was often another. Something happened.

But this was exactly what he wanted. All he wanted was to delay some time and save the lives of these innocent people. They had discussed before that they were going to find something to do for the Temple of Nature here. No matter what their plan was, they could not succeed. He said: "In that case, how about returning these people to me? You won't need them anyway, and I can take them back to our territory for use. In this way, you have nothing to lose, and I can do the same to the Marquis. There is an explanation.

You must know that our Lord Marquis is a very good friend of the chief priest of the Natural Temple in the eastern part of the empire. We, the Marquis, and the Natural Temple should be considered our own people. Can you show mercy? "

The priest did not expect that this young officer would dare to say so many words to him. He was about to teach him a few words when he saw a knight running over and saying beside him: "Sir, the adventurers locked up behind have attacked us. The guards tried to escape, but we killed several of them.”

"Kill? What about the number of people?" The priest's expression changed.

The knight said: "We have no choice. We have already notified them, and we will start taking action immediately. If we don't suppress them, we will be in big trouble. Now they have finally become honest."

The priest said: "But this is the last batch, there is no one behind..."

The other two priests also heard what the knight said and came over to discuss with him. After a few words, they began to look at Gallo and others frequently.

Finally, the previous priest said to Gallo: "I can give it to you, but you have to wait here for a while. We have some other urgent matters to deal with, and we will pay you money later."

Gallo didn't know what kind of medicine the other party was selling, so he replied: "Of course. We will wait for you here."

The priest asked the knights to imprison the slaves who passed through the selection into the stockade. Then he asked Gallo, Barron and other guards, as well as the remaining slaves to wait in the square, and walked out of the fortress with the other priests and knights.

Gallo felt uneasy when he saw the entrance door being closed. He said, "There's something wrong with the way these guys are talking. They seem to have deliberately left us in this fortress."

Gawain turned around and looked around, and found that the temple knights who were originally guarding outside the fences had disappeared without knowing it. He said, "There is something wrong indeed. Those guards ran away."

Mo Yu pointed at the towering city wall and saw many temple knights climbing up the stairs on the inside of the city wall.

Bella said: "These people seemed to be trying to avoid something, so they all evacuated in a hurry. Could there be something wrong in this fortress?"

The appearance of these people reminded Mo Yu of those people who had run away after lighting firecrackers. She said: "I vaguely heard someone saying that the time is up and we are ready to evacuate..."

Gallo said: "They are very concerned about the quality and quantity of those slaves. I'm afraid they kept us just to make up the numbers. As for what to do when the number of people is enough... Is there going to be some large magic circle in the fortress? Is it started inside?"

Gao Wen said: "It's not like that, I didn't find any magic fluctuations in this yard. As long as that kind of large magic circle is in a state of preparation, it will definitely not be able to escape our feeling."

Barron, who had been silent until now, heard their discussion and couldn't help but interrupt: "Sir, don't we have the same fate as those slaves? I don't want to just stay here, let's get out quickly."

Gallo said: "Look at the top of those walls, do you think you can get out easily?"

Barron looked up and saw that the archers who were originally defending the outside were now facing inside, as if they were preventing the people inside from running out. After the knights ran up the stairs to the top of the wall. They blocked the way up with sandbags, and then drew their swords and stood guard there.

"But you are all powerful masters, right? I don't think they can stop you." Barron said.

"We haven't investigated the situation here yet, and we have no plans to leave." Gallo said, "No matter what happens later, if you want to survive, you'd better be smart."

Barron swallowed his saliva, grasped the hilt of his sword and said, "I will definitely follow you."

Gallo ignored him, but focused his attention on the hall, "There is nothing suspicious in the yard, maybe what we are looking for is in this hall."
