Chapter 1091 Desperate Love

In a tent, Sean looked carefully at the man who was tied to a chair. The latter did not look away or make a fuss, but looked at him calmly.

This kind of silence is not like an expression that would appear on an informer. When he was still in the old capital, Sean had seen many betrayals and betrayals. Although the enemy's rebellion was only good for him, that kind of greed The ugliness of being , framed, and impatient will not become pleasing to the eye because of a little benefit.

This made the guards feel a little curious.

After looking at each other for a while, he broke the silence and said, "Name?"

"Qiao." The man replied, "Are you the commander here? When I say "here", I don't mean the lord of Thorn Town or anywhere, but the leader of the Graycastle troops. "

"Is that important?"

"If not, I won't say anything, because... there is no point in saying it."

interesting.

Sean leaned forward slightly, "I am the captain of the bodyguard of His Majesty Roland Wimbledon, King of Graycastle, and the captain of the Graycastle exploration team. You can call me Sean. Now that you have met the person you want to see, then Can you tell me the whereabouts of the treasure next?"

"If you came all the way to Cage Mountain to curse the temple, then what you are looking for must be the Ceremony Rubik's Cube," Qiao said bluntly, "And such a thing is now in the hands of Count Lorenzo of Grand Duke Island!"

Sean couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He originally thought that the other party would negotiate the conditions first, and then give some clues in a roundabout way. As for whether it was true or false, he would have to spend time to verify it, but he didn't expect that the other party would give the details directly. "Have you seen...that thing?"

"No, but it is not a secret to the church," Qiao briefly told the story of the church's robbery of the wolf heart. "In order to show his merit at that time, Lorenzo, who was in charge of this task, exaggerated this treasure in his report. After some research, many high-level officials knew about this matter, but later it did not attract the attention of the Holy City of Hermes."

"I see, the treasure flowed into the Wolf Heart over a hundred years, and was later accidentally discovered by the church. This is quite a piece of information that makes sense." Sean touched his chin, "But why did you come to tell me specifically? If the information was sold to For other lords, you can’t say it’s meaningless, right?”

Qiao took a deep breath, "Sir, have you ever heard of... the God's Punishment Army?"

"Of course, the secret army that the church is proud of," Sean showed a hint of ridicule, "Unfortunately, in the battle of Cold Wind Ridge, it was defeated by His Majesty's First Army."

"That's good." However, the other party did not show any dissatisfaction, "It will be easy to explain next. Lorenzo has the God's Punishment Army in his hands, and no one except the King of Graycastle dares to take advantage of Grand Duke Island. "

"Oh?" the guard raised his eyebrows, "I thought all these humanoid beasts died in the bomb crater in Hanfeng Ridge. How many divine punishment warriors does he have?"

"Ten... no, about five people," Qiao hesitated, "It won't be too many anyway."

"If you want to attack the castle, five people are also a big threat." Sean smiled and said noncommittally, "Then what do you hope to get from me? In other words, what is the price for this piece of information?"

"No, I just hope to survive," Joe lowered his voice. "The church is no longer the opponent of Graycastle, but those exiles still don't give up. Lorenzo is still trying to attract your attention. His people are very I may have infiltrated Thorn Town, and I don’t want to be dragged into the water by them. If..." He paused for a moment, "If this information can be used, the King of Graycastle should pardon my innocence, right?"

Are you really doing this to survive?

Sean put his hands on the table and put his hands on his chin - this is also the action His Majesty Roland often used when asking questions. Although he does not have the miraculous ability of Lord Nightingale, sometimes magic is not needed to distinguish authenticity.

At least in the man who called himself Joe, he didn't feel any obsession with living. Especially when they looked at each other before, the indifference in those eyes was even more decisive in making some kind of decision.

Perhaps even the other party didn't realize that this was the look in someone's eyes that only someone with a death wish would have.

"Is this the only request?"

"Yes, it is."

"Then I will arrange for someone to take you to Neverwinter."

"Eh?" Qiao heard something was wrong, "Why are you going to Neverwinter City?"

Sean stood up and said, "I don't have the power to pardon you, and I can't abandon those who have found their way back, so sending them to Neverwinter is the safest choice. Don't worry, His Majesty's kindness and justice have already spread throughout Graycastle. , the Witches Alliance also has methods to determine the credibility of the news. If you are not lying, you will definitely get a reasonable verdict. A pardon is just basic treatment. If you are lucky, you might even get a large reward."

"S-Sir...that treasure..." Qiao also wanted to stand up, but was fixed to the chair by a rope, unable to move at all.

"If it is really in the hands of Count Lorenzo, then sooner or later it will be your Majesty's. Besides, the treasure has nothing to do with you, right?" Sean spread his hands and said, "There is nothing to worry about. Although the journey is a bit long, and before the news is confirmed, , your movements will also be somewhat restricted, but everything will be rewarded in the end, and you no longer have to worry about the threat of the church." He looked at the soldier, "Take him down."

"No, sir, wait a minute..." Joe's expression changed, and the indifference was instantly broken, replaced by panic and helplessness. He kicked up his legs forcefully, and then fell to the ground, "Please, don't send me to Neverwinter!"

There was an unimaginable sorrow in that voice, as if the previous performances were all disguises. With such a desperate emotion, even Sean couldn't help but stop... He was clearly not even afraid of death, yet he still showed such an expression. It was really hard to understand.

"Why?" He turned around, "Or is that not all you ask for?"

"Please save her - save Falina, please!" Joe chewed on the dirt on the ground and shouted heartbreakingly, "There is no time, she...she has no time..."

By the end, the man was crying.

This is probably the truth... Sean thought to himself.

He walked over to the trembling Joe and patted him on the shoulder, "Who is Farina? Why is there no time... I think we can have a good talk now."

…

After the other party gradually calmed down and listened to the whole story, Sean finally understood what was going on.

The source of everything is actually related to love.

The other party is the real exile of the church, and the former bishop has now become their enemy. With no other way out, it is not so strange that Joe turns to the church's former mortal enemy-the First Army of Graycastle. Traitors are always more powerful than foreign enemies. hateful. At the same time, he also understood the reason why the other party was determined to die: Joe had never thought that he could hide the truth from the First Army forever. Perhaps in his eyes, it was better to suffer the consequences of Lorenzo than to send himself and Farina to the gallows. The torture is better.

If the news about this matter was slowly released, the effect might be achieved in a few months, but the tight time made him choose to take the risk personally - even if Lorenzo would not deliberately kill Faline in order to find the holy book. Na was tortured to death, but the human body's ability to withstand and recover has its limits. If it takes half a year to cause Graycastle to take action, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Originally, the conflict between the two sides of the church had nothing to do with Sean, but with love, the information became reliable.

Next, as long as we find the informant sent by Count Lorenzo, everything will be settled.

"I understand. I will notify His Majesty as soon as possible after catching those people." Sean said slowly, "——Use the flying messenger."
