Chapter 225 The Avenger

In fact, there were more than one such mouse. Iron Ax looked at the captured person expressionlessly, "You are already the third person to jump off the boat and escape, and the refugees also said that you did not come from the western region. Is there any last word to say?"

The two people who were caught before cut off two fingers with a dagger, and immediately confessed their origin and purpose. Of course, their bodies have been thrown into the canal. Iron Ax has never been a merciful person. His experience in the struggle in Iron Sand City told him that the best way to deal with this kind of hidden temptation is to stretch the hand across the border. One cut off. But to his surprise, the guy with his hands tied behind his back and kneeling on the ground looked very healthy, not as if he was already sick.

Could it be the dead soldiers sent by which force?

"I'm not your enemy," the first words he spoke made Iron Ax startled slightly, "My name is Hill Fox, and Tasa knows my name!"

...

Tasa hadn't left the dock area at this time. After being called by Iron Ax's subordinates, he glanced at Hill and said, "This man is under Black Hammer."

"Not yours?" Iron Ax asked.

"It has nothing to do with me at all, it's just a mouse just entering the industry."

"You lied to Black Hammer and Skeleton Finger," Hill said suddenly, "You are not working for Timothy, but His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon of the Western Territory!"

"He knows too much." Tasa wiped the iron ax around his neck, "The best place for this person is at the bottom of the canal."

He continued on his own, "I have heard what the mercenary said, we can cooperate! I am willing to work for His Royal Highness Roland!"

"Your Highness does not need the allegiance of the mouse," Iron Ax pulled out his sword.

"I'm not a mouse, I'm... a free citizen of Wangcheng, and I'm an enemy of Timothy!" Hill said loudly.

"Wait," Tasa called to stop Iron Axe, and walked in front of the other party. The latter raised his head and looked at the guard fearlessly, as if something was burning in his eyes.

So that's it... This is the answer that I never understood when I first met him, Tasa thought. His eyes were full of hatred, and this hatred was so strong that even if he deliberately concealed it at the time, it could not completely conceal the anger.

"Tell me about the reason why you want to work for His Highness."

"I do live in Beicheng District, and I occasionally go to the underground trumpeter to drink, but I didn't lose all my property because of gambling, and my wife didn't run away with others..." Hill gritted his teeth, "She was killed by Timothy dead!"

The story is not complicated, and Tasa quickly figured out the ins and outs.

He and his wife were originally members of the "Pigeon and Top Hat" acrobatic troupe, and they often performed in the inner city of the capital. The acrobatic troupe is not big, only seven people, but the atmosphere is very harmonious. As the only woman in the regiment, his wife was pursued unanimously by everyone. In the end Hill wins and wins her heart. The life after marriage is very sweet, and it won't be long before the two can accumulate savings to buy a house in the inner city. But all this was destroyed by Timothy's witch hunting operation. Under the leadership of Langley, the patrol team was like a group of mad dogs wantonly arresting suspects, and her wife was also one of the unfortunate ones who were caught by mistake.

Hill Fox originally thought that as long as he paid the ransom, his wife would be released, and no matter how bad it was, he could go to see her in prison. The warden accepted the ransom, but did not release her, and did not even agree to his request to visit the prison. Instead, he reassured that his wife would be released after a while after confirming that she was not a witch. As a result, he did not expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. When he was notified to go to the prison to lead someone, what he saw was a bruised corpse.

Hill angrily asked Langley for an explanation, but in the end the warden, cell boss and guards were only sentenced to ten lashes and a fine of twenty-five silver wolves, while he was compensated by three golden dragons. Such a penalty was completely unacceptable to Hill. He even sought out the highest person in charge of the patrol, Sir "Steel Heart Knight" Weimars, but this move was still of no avail. Sir told him that Langley was Timothy Wimbledon's confidant, and those newly joined patrol members were also his minions. At the same time, it was His Majesty's will to hunt down witches. Even the Minister of Justice, Pai Lao, would not say a word for him.

So Hill decided to take revenge on the new king, but he did not expect that this decision won the approval of all the partners in the acrobatic troupe. However, a group of actors without combat expertise, wealth and subordinates want to seek revenge, which is almost an impossible goal. All Hill could think of was to gather information about Timothy and provide it to his enemies, such as Garcia, Queen of Clear Water. They joined different underworld organizations to lurk one after another, collecting any clues related to the new king.

It was also for this reason that he secretly monitored Tasa's movements. If Timothy wanted to expel these refugees, he should try his best to stop them. But before it was too late to take action, the evil plague broke out, and Tasa also suspended the transportation of fugitives. To this day, Hill finds the men in action again. In order to find out, he simply pretended to be a refugee and mixed in with the crowd, only to find out in the end that the person Thassa really served was Roland Wimbledon, the fourth prince of Graycastle.

There is no doubt that, as a member who is eligible to compete for the throne of Greycastle, he is also Timothy's archenemy.

Probably in Hill's eyes, as long as he can bring down the new king, he would not hesitate to work for the devil.

"The last question, did you mix in the crowd to inquire about the news, and never thought about the possibility of being infected?" Tasa asked with great interest, "I don't think a person who has a goal of revenge would despise his life like this .”

"I have the antidote," Xieru gestured. "It's in my underwear pocket. My partner in the acrobatic troupe bought it for me from the black market at a cost of half of his family's fortune."

Tasa touched it with his hand, and took out a transparent vial the thickness of his index finger, which seemed to be filled with a piece of blue liquid. He handed the bottle to Iron Axe, "The holy medicine of the church... I think His Highness should be interested in this thing."

"This man..." Iron Ax took the bottle and asked, "What do you think?"

"Well," Tasa touched his chin. If it was normal, he would have no way of verifying the authenticity of these words, and would only choose the safest way to send him on the road. But there happened to be someone in the camp who could accurately judge whether he was lying, "I want to ask Miss Nightingale to verify."

...

In the evening, Thassa returned to the Underground Trumpeter.

Black Hammer's spirit is obviously not very good. The recent spread of the evil plague has brought the business of the tavern to a freezing point, and the infection of the silver ring and clay pot has aggravated his uneasiness.

Hill acted as if nothing had happened, and sat across from Tasa in a slightly reserved manner as usual.

The guard smiled slightly, and threw a small bag of golden dragons in front of the black hammer, "Don't be so depressed, I want to tell you a piece of good news, there is another business coming."

Hei Hammer counted the coins, put them in his pocket, and said weakly, "No business is accepted. Now that the plague is rampant, who dares to hang out outside? The money earned is not enough for everyone to buy holy spirit medicine. You know How expensive is a bottle of medicine in the black market now? At least twenty-five gold dragons!"

"What a coincidence," Tasa said with a smile. "The business I want to talk about happens to be buying medicine." He paused, "...a special medicine to deal with evil plagues." (To be continued.)
