Chapter 510 Flower of Revenge
…
When Hill Fox walked into the palace basement, he felt his heart trembling - not with fear, but with excitement. Uncontrollable excitement.
The flickering brilliance of the torch danced for him, and the echo on the stone floor praised him.
He had never felt that a dark and quiet basement could be so wonderful.
After reaching the bottom floor, Thasa searched his whole body again, then patted his shoulder and whispered, "Go, don't stay too long."
Hill nodded and couldn't wait to walk towards the darkness... He walked through a dark corridor and slowed down as he approached the cage. This was a moment worth remembering, and he wanted to savor it.
Then he saw his wife's murderer.
The false king Tifeco Wimbledon.
In an instant, Hill covered his mouth and his eyes filled with tears... Everything he did was not in vain, and the result came sooner than he imagined.
If my wife could see this scene, she would also smile, right?
"What... person?" The other party turned around and leaned down eagerly by the railing, "Is it you, devil... have you changed your mind?"
Hill stepped out of the shadows and walked step by step to the side of the cage.
Tifeko was startled for a moment, then showed a vigilant look and took two steps back, "Who are you? Who let you in! Where is Roland Wimbledon? I want to see him!"
This is the king who is usually aloof.
Hill had only seen Tifeko from a distance during the enthronement ceremony. At that time, he was wearing crimson robes, holding a golden scepter, and wearing a bright and luxurious crown. Surrounded by the knights of the capital, he walked step by step. Climb the high platform and receive the coronation. Hill also had expectations, hoping that he would be a good king who would allow everyone to live a stable life, but the ensuing full-scale manhunt tore apart the acrobatic troupe and family, and all hopes for the future came to nothing.
Now, he finally experienced the taste of revenge - it was different from the bitterness described in the story. There was neither pity for the enemy nor the emptiness after success. He only felt sweetness and joy, and his long-dry heart was moisturized again... Surprisingly, he found that he actually liked this feeling.
"I am Hill Fox, Your Majesty," Hill bowed, "a member of the Dove and Top Hat acrobatic troupe. You can't possibly know me, but I know you." "
"..." Tifeko had a cold face and said nothing.
But he didn't take it seriously at all, and continued: "The acrobatic troupe originally had seven members, but because of you, we lost one of our partners. The remaining six people no longer focus on performing, but hang out with rats and mice. In the tavern, inquire about any movements about you, then sort out and analyze the information and send it to Lord Roland." He paused, "By the way, your plan to develop snow powder and the forced militia to invade the Western Territory are all very important. It was the intelligence we sent. I was also responsible for the sudden closure and transfer of two saltpeter factories in the suburbs."
"What do you want to say?" Tifeike narrowed his eyes and said, "A traitor who is complacent about what he has done? A traitor who betrayed his king and sold his honor in exchange for profits? I don't know anything about the Pigeon Hat Acrobatic Troupe. , put away your tricks, you untouchable!"
"Profit? Traitor? No... Your Majesty, I just followed my heart," Hill said calmly, "That partner is my wife. She died in your witch hunting operation, in prison, She was tortured and humiliated, and the murderer’s final punishment was only twenty-five silver wolves.”
Tifeko's eyes flickered.
"Have you remembered?" He spread his hands. "Afterwards, the city hall issued three gold dragons as compensation, but what's the use? My wife will never come back. She is not a witch, but she died because of you. Death in vain.”
After a while, the other person finally said, "I didn't do that."
This kind of weak answer is as sweet as honey. If it were normal times, it would only get a dismissive sneer and "so what".
"It was Lan Li who carried out the arrest order at that time. Under your heart, even the Knights of Steel Heart were helpless against him. I just wanted a fair verdict, but both the trial court and the city hall rejected my appeal. This is undoubtedly The reason why you are leading the action behind the scenes——"
"No, that's enough, pariah!" Tifeko couldn't help but growl, "Do you know what you are doing? If the hunt for witches only accidentally killed your wife, what you did is ruining the entire world. Graycastle! Lord Roland? Idiot, Roland Wimbledon is dead a long time ago! Your master is the real devil, but you decided to work for the devil for the sake of a woman?"
"...Really?" Hill raised the corner of his mouth, "When I begged the gods but got no response, I made an oath - as long as revenge can be achieved, even if it is the devil, I will follow him to hell. He stroked his chest and saluted, "Goodbye, Your Majesty. I am deeply honored to be able to add a piece of firewood to your destruction."
…
Walking to the entrance of the basement, Tasa nodded his chin at him, "Are you satisfied?"
Hill took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sir, please take me to see His Majesty Roland."
Climbing to the third floor of the palace, he finally saw the person he had been working for for the past six months - Roland Wimbledon had a much more approachable expression than Tifeko. Although he had the same gray hair and gray eyes, he was not the same person. There is no arrogant temperament that repels people thousands of miles away. He doesn't even look like a royal noble.
"It's been really hard on you for lurking in the royal capital these days," the other party's first words also surprised Hill. "Thanks to your information, I was able to make complete preparations and capture the royal capital at the minimum cost." All."
"No, this is just what I should do-"
"Of course, I know that you are out for revenge. Tifeko will soon get the sentence he deserves. Your purpose has been achieved and you can start a new life in the future. But I hope that in the meantime, you can continue to fight for I work." Roland stood up and walked to him, looking at him. "There are still many things to be done to restore stability to the city, and even return to its former prosperity. Rats need to be controlled, and those restless nobles Someone has to keep an eye on it, Tasa alone is too busy. What do you think? Both you and your acrobatic troupe will get a secret and formal job to protect the people of this city for me and avoid A similar tragedy has happened again."
"I do, Your Majesty," Hill said solemnly, kneeling down. "Even if you don't say so, I will follow you to the ends of the earth. You have fulfilled your previous promise, and now it's my turn." He said word by word, "Hill Fox will belong to you for the rest of his life."
The flower of revenge finally bears its most delicious fruit. (To be continued.)
