When Mermaid Raising Dragons

Lord's Palace.

After enduring a long vaudeville show and lengthy conversations, they finally met Nick, as planned.

He didn't look too well.

In order not to startle the snake, Nick was captured obediently, and was escorted to Galin Tower by the guards.He was tortured really badly, but in just two days, he lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, his cheekbones were high, and the clothes that originally fit him kept falling off.

But luckily among the misfortunes, these were all skin traumas, and he didn't suffer permanent damage like a broken leg.In any case, he was still alive, alive with all his hands and feet.

Nick was escorted by the guards and knelt in the middle of the hall, looking miserable.The "Duke" and the lord were having a great time at a long dining table 50 meters away.

It is inconvenient for the wild wolf to eat while wearing a mask, and has been quietly trying to reduce his sense of existence.However, Morrel had already treated Asmodeus as the future king, and was afraid that he would not entertain him well, so he noticed that the wild wolf sitting beside him hadn't eaten, so he quickly offered to show his hospitality:

"This beautiful lady, may I ask if the food is not to your taste? I don't think you have eaten a single bite. I am in the country here, and I don't have any good things, but I can make some special desserts for you. Do you need them? What do you have? Do you like to eat? Are there any taboos, or special cravings? Is there any?"

The wolf treated him so well that he wanted to give him a punch.

Morrel was trying to embarrass him. Although the wild wolf was pretending to be a woman, he was still a straight man, so how could he make a female voice.

Asmodeus was a foodie, he forgot about food as soon as he had food, and he was able to concentrate on eating in the enemy camp without distractions.

The wild wolf hinted repeatedly, but Asmodeus didn't respond, so he pretended to be shy, buried his face in Asmodeus, and then punched him hard.

Asmodeus shook his hands in pain, and a large piece of meat fell off the fork.He looked down at the wolf aggrievedly, and the wolf quickly gave him a wink. Asmodeus raised his head and mouthed, and the wolf said, "Women are troublesome, you don't need to talk to her, we just eat."

Then Morrel beamed.

Asmodeus put down the knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at Nick pretending not to know him, then turned to Morrel and said, "Is this the murderer?"

"Yes, my lord duke." Morrel showed no interest in Nick, snapped his fingers, and signaled the butler to pour the wine, "Sir, you don't need to waste time for such a small person, let's drink first. You try This dish, this is the best quality meat that is specially transported from the remote iceberg area along the King's Highway. It comes from a rare alien race, or a wild beast, it is..."

Morrel began to describe how precious this dish was, and neither the wolf nor Asmodeus wanted to hear his nonsense, but there was no way to interrupt him.They knew that Nick was waiting at their feet, but they couldn't be too active, so they had to endure the feast silently.The dining table was removed, and then they drank tea and washed their hands. After wasting a long time, they sat down on the sofa in full aristocratic style, and lazily began to interrogate Nick.

In fact, it is a trial, rather than a unilateral reprimand.Nick was unable to fight back at all, being pinned to the ground by the spear, unable to even move, forced to let Morrel's saliva spray all over him.

Of course, Morrel couldn't think of any new moves. What else could he say, of course, he put all the blame on Nick, and scolded him extraordinarily loudly.It seems that the louder he speaks, the more confident he is, and has nothing to do with Yorkett's death.

Asmodeus was quiet from the beginning to the end, with an expressionless and inscrutable look on his face.The wild wolf knew that this guy was just in a daze at all, but Morrel didn't know it. He thought the Duke was dissatisfied, so he judged others by himself, and even ordered his men to go down and get the whip, and prepared to perform the execution live.

Asmodeus just woke up, and quickly stopped him: "Enough! There is no need to use the whip."

Morrel gave him a curious look.This person shouldn't have the kindness of a woman, flesh and blood, execution, it should be a very normal thing for him.

"You have disabled him now, so how can I interrogate him when I go back? I suspect that he is a spy sent by the imperial capital. I will take him back to the professionals. Don't worry, he will cry and beg me to kill him in the end." his."

Of course, the spies and the like are just casual lies, but Morrel's doubts were immediately dispelled.At the same time, there was admiration for him in his eyes.Look, as expected of the lord of Falcon Castle, the fighting nation is different, this psychological quality is definitely strong enough.

"Yes, yes, you are quite right. You must have someone more professional than me." Morrel gestured to his subordinates, and the man holding the whip looked at him blankly, and he couldn't help Angrily scolded the other party away.

"Since it has been determined that he is the murderer, then without further ado, you can hand him over to me now, and I will give you a satisfactory answer after I find out the results of the interrogation." Asmodeus stood up, Walk towards Nick.

However, the guards holding Nick did not retreat.

Asmodeus frowned: "What do you mean?" He turned around and glared at Lord Morrel displeased.

Morrel said with a smile: "My respected friend, well, you see, you only have two people, isn't it a bit too... huh, I don't mean anything else, I just want to escort such a dangerous prisoner away. Help you. The prisoner must be yours, I just escorted him back to your camp for you."

After all, does he want to see the barracks with his own eyes?

Asmodeus said sullenly, "Don't you believe me?"

Morrel was taken aback: "Look at what you said, I suspect anyone, and it is impossible for me to suspect you."

"Then why do you try everything possible to know where my military camp is." During the meal just now, Morrel tried many times, wanting to ask him for information about the military camp.Asmodeus and the wild wolf couldn't help becoming a little vigilant.

"Ah... no no no, you misunderstood me." Morrel waved his hands again and again, "I, I actually, hehe, it's actually not a big deal, I just have a little confusion, but I'm afraid that if I say it directly, it will hurt me. I offended you." Morrel actually pretended to be a stupefied kid, stroking the back of his head embarrassingly.

"Whether you want to offend me or not, tell me first and I'll listen."

"Then, shall I just ask?"

"Ah."

"I don't know if you have received the three thousand stone slave soldiers?"

The wolf's heart skipped a beat.Regarding the stone slave soldiers, he was basically clueless and completely ignorant.At most, he had heard some relevant rumors, and there was only one core content, that is, stone slave soldiers were a kind of strong soldiers, but he didn't know their whereabouts at all.

"Don't tell me you don't know about this kind of thing." The wild wolf tried to confuse the topic with offense.

Morrel seemed to be reporting the work progress to his superiors, and explained in detail: "According to your instructions in the last letter, I have sent them in disguise to Emma and Qingyan Wharf, which is the closest to here. Calculate the time, It has been almost ten days. If the agreed slave ship picked them up on time, then based on the seven-day sailing speed, they should have arrived at your camp at this moment."

"You know it very well, so why ask me?"

"Ah... Actually, it's like this, uh, there was a small mistake in the middle. You don't need to care about the small mistake, I guarantee that your stone slave soldiers will not be damaged at all. Because of the connection in the middle, especially The handover of the merchant ships at the dock was originally in charge of Yorkt, but after his death, he didn’t leave any clues, so I asked specifically.”

Of course, it is impossible for the wild wolf to know the current whereabouts of the stone slave soldiers, but if he is a duke, there will definitely be scouts and intelligence personnel, not to mention that this is a business he is very concerned about, so this kind of thing is not right for him. May not know.

Just when he was hesitating about how to answer, Morrel added: "Actually, I'm also a little worried. You just want to go back to the camp. I wonder if everyone can drop by and walk together..."

"No need!" The wild wolf almost broke out in a cold sweat.Of course, it is impossible to have a military camp outside. This is just a rhetoric to intimidate Morrel. Once Morrel leaves Fort David, it will be obvious at a glance that he is a fake, so no matter what, he must dispel Morrel’s words. idea.

Morrel felt strange: "But you are leaving anyway, why can't we be together..."

"Because..." Wild Wolf had an idea, and finally thought of a reasonable refusal, "Because the stone slave soldiers have already been transported, so there is no need for you to make a special trip just to find out their whereabouts."

"So that's it. Are you worried that I'm too tired from running around? You're such a good person." Morrel hurriedly flattered her.

The wild wolf breathed a sigh of relief: "Now, can you tell these people to leave? I'm going to escort this nasty prisoner back to the camp." After speaking, he stepped forward to help Nick up.

"Of course this is possible. But don't worry, I still have one last little problem." Morrel stood between him and Nick with a smile, "It's really a very small, very small problem. Yes It’s just a matter of one sentence for you, but if I don’t know the answer, I will definitely not be able to eat and sleep well, so please answer me first, please.”

Asmodeus frowned, looking at this endless person, he was already annoyed by him, but he still dealt with him patiently: "Say".He said the word angrily.

"What I want to ask is, when are you going to pay the remaining half of the stone slave payment, 1 gold coins?"

Morrel showed a bright smile, but his eyes were fixed on Asmodeus seriously.

However, how could Asmodeus know where the money was, he looked down at the wolf in confusion, and through the mask, he saw the wolf's eyes full of shock.

Twelve thousand gold coins...

Even if you sell the wild wolf, you can't raise so much money.

Facing Morrel's staring eyes, the wild wolf opened his mouth, out of a thousand thoughts, only one sentence came to mind.
