Release that Witch - Chapter 135

[Chapter 134]

?? After recording Price’s treatment method on the paper, Roland put down the quill and rubbed his sore neck.

Nightingale’s voice sounded next to his ear, “His Royal Highness, do you need me to help you relax?”

“There are more than 30 people to deal with, please wait later.” Roland smiled and shook his head, picked up the bell beside the table and shook it few times.

The sooner he finishes these chores, the sooner he can start the universal education work in Border Town.

And the exploration of Anna’s new abilities made him full of expectations.

The one who was brought into the living room by the guards was a tall knight. At first glance, he was handsome and extraordinary. Compared with Carter, who had the face of a god, he was not too shy.

Of course, this kind of handsomeness is a penalty in Roland’s eyes.

He glanced at the list, “Filin Sylt?” Unlike the others, there was a note behind the other party’s name, and he read it out together, “The head of the Knights of the Lion, the first knight in the Western Region You really have many titles.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Feilin knelt down on one knee.

“I thought that people like the captain and the first knight would take the lead in charging on the battlefield,” Roland raised his eyebrows, “How did you survive?”

“I hid behind.” He said frankly, “As long as the horse’s stride is well controlled, it looks like it is sprinting at full speed, but in fact the horse’s speed will not increase much.”

Such a straightforward answer surprised Roland. He thought that the other party would find some excuses to hide his fear of fighting. escaped fact.

It seems that this matter is not as simple as he thought.

Sure enough, Feilin quickly continued: “On the morning of the third day of your pursuit, that is, the day the Duke was defeated, I followed him all the time, trying to find a chance to end him. It’s a pity that he has a large number of personal guards, and they are very posted. It’s tight, I couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to attack. Fortunately, your troops killed him,” the knight lowered his head deeply at this point, “Dear Your Highness, I am grateful for this, anyone who needs me, Please send as you please.” The

last sentence can be regarded as an oath of allegiance, and Roland was stunned for a moment before he said: “You stand up first. Tell me, what happened?”

“Yes,” he stood up and said, “My wife, Irene, was originally a commoner woman who worked in the theater of the Longsong Fortress. We met in a chance encounter, and then fell in love. I want to marry her through the door, But my father and mother did not support the wedding, so I had to move out of the estate and rent a house on a farm near the fort, where the wedding was also held. Shortly after the wedding, Irene finally got her first official performance. “The knight’s voice was a little low, “I didn’t expect the Duke watched the drama and fell in love with her. Not long after, he broke into the house and raped Irene while I was out on a mission.”

” It took me a long time

Knowing this from her mouth, I wanted to ask the Duke to clarify, but Irene knelt down and begged me not to be reckless. I also know that if I do it face to face, I don’t say how likely it is to succeed, even if I kill He can’t escape from the guards, and Irene…will probably be targeted by Duke Ryan’s heir. So I endured it until he went to Border Town.”

“Although I couldn’t take revenge with my own hands, but Irene

Lin can finally sleep peacefully, without having to worry about someone breaking into her room at night, and I am free from this heavy burden. So please allow me to thank you again.”

“I see.” Roland said with a goose feather The pen tapped on the table. This was a signal that he and Nightingale had agreed upon in advance. When it was necessary to check whether the other party was lying, he would tap on the table.

Soon, he felt Nightingale’s finger pinch on his left shoulder blade, which meant that the other party’s statement was true… It’s just that the pinch was slightly forceful, and Roland grinned.

“Are you literate? How about reading and writing?”

“Uh…” Ferlin was taken aback, as if he didn’t follow the prince’s train of thought, “I can do it.”

“Then I’ll make the verdict now,” Roland repeated the words he had repeated many times He declared again, “…what is your choice?”

“Your Highness, don’t you need me to fight for you? Whether it’s a single-riding duel or a team battle, I will—”

“No, I don’t need to, “Roland interrupted, “There are no nobles in my army, and I will not recruit nobles in the future. They are an army composed entirely of people. And you will never have the chance to take up arms again.”

“Is that so?” Filin nodded after a long silence, “I see, since this is the case, I choose to become a teacher. ”

“A wise choice. Teachers can get housing and a fairly good salary. I will send someone to bring your wife back, and live here well.” Roland gestured for the knight to leave.

“Please wait, Your Highness, please forgive me for asking.” He hesitated, “Did you say the same to other knights? If they can’t become teachers, they will have to work in mines for twenty years?”

“No Wrong.”

“…Your Highness, I have a subordinate named Haron, he is an experienced old knight, but he cannot read and write. Can I exchange a golden dragon for him not to be sent to the mine?”

“Of course No.” Roland spread his hands, “If money can redeem your crimes, I will let you go in the fortress.”

“But he is almost fifty years old, and that kind of labor that sees the sun will destroy his body Yes

.”

“I don’t have the stamina to dig mines but have the energy to attack Border Town?” And my mine is not a black coal mine, not only is there a steam engine to help transport mines and pump water, but the employees also have fixed holidays, okay?

Roland picked up the bell, ready to call the next one in.

“Your Highness!” Ferlin gritted his teeth and knelt down again, “I have a treasure map handed down from my family. It has a history of at least four hundred years. I am willing to exchange it for Halong’s freedom.”

“Four A hundred-year-old treasure map…” The prince frowned, “Are you sure your ancestors didn’t just draw it with charcoal to make the younger generation happy?”

“No, it’s not a trace of charcoal or ink,” he shook his head slightly, like I was recalling that drawing, “I can’t tell what it was drawn with. The lines are very delicate, and it feels smooth and supple to the touch. It has been placed in the basement for decades, and the graphics and text have not faded. UU reading book www.sonicmtl.com My father said that it was passed down from generation to generation. The location of the treasure it described is in the depths of the Hidden Forest in the northwest, but it is already a barren land, and ordinary people cannot set foot there.”

Roland said again The quill pen tapped the table, but Nightingale still pinched the left side.

“Well, even if what you said is true, this treasure map should be hidden in the basement of Sylt’s house. You have given up the right to inherit the territory, I’m afraid they won’t be happy to see you again.”

“Indeed So,” Filin nodded, “But I have completely memorized the content of the drawings, and I can roughly describe the patterns and text on them.”

“Then draw it and see,” Roland pushed the pen and paper to the At the table, “If it is true, I can make an exception to allow your request.”

“Your Highness is kind.” He walked to the table and began to draw the treasure map.

In fact, Dawn Chenguang Feilin Silt is not only good at fighting, but also talented in painting and calligraphy.

Soon, a rough topographical map appeared in front of Roland.

The area shown in the graphic is behind the Impassable Mountains. The continuous mountains occupy the lower right corner of the entire paper. An equilateral triangle is drawn in the center of the drawing. Three acute angles connect three locations, one of which falls at the foot of the northern slope. At the end, another point is in the hidden forest, marked with a six-pointed star, probably the so-called treasure location.

But Roland’s attention was completely attracted by the apex of the triangle, which was located in the wilderness, represented by a zigzag hill, with the word “Taquila” written on it.
