Chapter 171 Someone Needs an Answer

In the boundless silence and the eyes of everyone, little Barney frowned and looked behind the punishment knight. &1t;/p>

He looked at the man who suddenly appeared with a scabbard and a brand on his face. &1t;/p>

"It's you." Little Barney said softly, with a touch of disdain. &1t;/p>

Finally, Sackel, who had been listening silently, sighed and turned around slowly. &1t;/p>

He showed a weak smile to the people behind him: &1t;/p>

"I'm glad you're okay."&1t;/p>

"Semil." &1t;/p>

I saw the former flag officer of the royal guard, the culprit who brought the sword of disaster here, and the person who had just been stunned by Yodel——Colin Semir, standing in front of Sakel with his eyes open indifferently. behind. &1t;/p>

Thales suddenly sighed. &1t;/p>

Eighteen years have passed, and the remaining nine members of the former royal guard, bearing nine ugly marks that will last forever, reunited in this deepest, dark, gloomy, dirty, and sunless prison of bones. &1t;/p>

Seeing Samir, many people had complex expressions. &1t;/p>

"Wow, there are so many people," Naki's voice came in untimely, his smile was forced, but Thales could see that he was trying to ease the atmosphere: &1t;/p>

"Barney, Sack El, and of course you, Samir, I really think we old friends should sit down..."&1t;/p>

But Samir didn't care about them, he just pointed at Sackel and interrupted Naki: &1t;/p>

"And him!"&1t;/p>

"The respected Sackel, the reason why he kept his mouth shut, he didn't say a word, he would rather respond with force..."&1t;/p>

"It's because that matter concerns the dirtiest and darkest secret deep in his heart." &1t;/p>

Samir spoke word by word, but each word seemed to carry some kind of magic power, which made everyone's breathing disordered and made the atmosphere in the field more dignified. &1t;/p>

Thales frowned and looked at Semir. &1t;/p>

The latter sneered, glanced at the seven prisoners, and continued: &1t;/p>

"And they asked in secret, hesitating... because that's also the worst nightmare in their hearts, isn't it." &1t;/p>

The seven prisoners outside Sakel exchanged glances, but Thales tasted panic in it. , &1t;/p>

Little Barney even closed his eyes. &1t;/p>

"It's not just Sackel."&1t;/p>

Semir's words were as sharp as a sharp knife, cutting the seemingly indifferent expressions of his colleagues in the avant-garde army inch by inch: &1t;/p>

"In fact, each of them is avoiding, unwilling to face, unable to believe, and unwilling to reveal."

"Because of that secret!" &1t;/p>

Semir yelled angrily and raised his arm, pointing at Thales! &1t;/p>

"The secret that drives Sackel to this child and Prince Thales... happens to explain the past, doesn't it?"&1t;/p>

Thales paused in his heart. &1t;/p>

Once in the past...&1t;/p>

next second,

Little Barney opened his eyes suddenly! &1t;/p>

"You have no right to speak here, Samir!"&1t;/p>

He looked at Samir angrily: &1t;/p>

"You're just someone who betrayed the guard..." &1t;/p>

But as if wanting to return all the resentment from the previous confrontation, Samir also widened his eyes, and responded with a voice louder than Barney's: &1t;/p>

"And that secret!" &1t;/p>

I saw Semir said fiercely: &1t;/p>

"Including that when the chief flag officer went south, it was our most respected Saker who acted as part of the duties of the flag officer, and our watchman 'coincidentally' was the one who was closest to His Royal Highness. Anyone who has access to his warrant."&1t;/p>

As soon as this remark came out, it was as if someone had turned off the sound, and the sound of everyone's breathing, footsteps, teeth grinding, and clothes rubbing disappeared without a trace. &1t;/p>

Only the words of Semir gritted his teeth: &1t;/p>

"Including, it was Sackel back then, who brought you, me, him, most of the guard wings and vanguard wings, and the most elite personnel in the guard back and forth in the Fuxing Palace, to fight with the assassins and the mobs. Fighting bloody battles, but still one step late, powerless, can only watch the misfortune of the former king and crown prince..."&1t;/p>

Thales was breathing in a trance, the members of the guards were breathing tremblingly, and Sackel was breathing sluggishly. &1t;/p>

"Includes..."&1t;/p>

"Clang!"&1t;/p>

Little Barney couldn't bear it anymore, he slashed at the wall with his sword, and yelled in the harsh noise: &1t;/p>

"Enough!" &1t;/p>

"Shut up, runaway traitor and coward!"&1t;/p>

Shocked, Samir subconsciously gritted his teeth and shut his mouth. &1t;/p>

Little Barney pointed his sword at Samir and said angrily: &1t;/p>

"This is a conversation between us and Sackel, and you, a traitor, don't have the right to speak!" &1t;/p>

Samir was silent for a moment, then giggled. &1t;/p>

"Hahahaha..."&1t;/p>

He lowered his head, raised his head again, pointed at Little Barney with his scabbard, and said mockingly: &1t;/p>

"You know what, Barney, just now, I was just like you."&1t;/p>

Little Barney's pupils tightened even more. &1t;/p>

"Until I see myself clearly."&1t;/p>

Samir opened his arms and sneered, as if to embrace all the darkness in the dungeon: &1t;/p>

"What are you afraid of?"&1t;/p>

Thales felt that Semir seemed to be a different person. After going through the rivalry of his colleagues and Ricky's sea of ​​death, he reappeared in front of everyone like a bewitching evil god: &1t;/p>

"Afraid of the past, afraid of the truth, afraid of the answer, or afraid of that incompetent and cowardly, ostrich-like self?" &1t;/p>

"When you accused me just now, what about the unquestionable bravery and decisiveness?" &1t;/p>

"What about your elation of 'I have suffered so much so I have the right to scold you'?" &1t;/p>

"Where did it all go?"&1t;/p>

"Little Quill Barney?"&1t;/p>

Samuel had a big smile. &1t;/p>

And every word of his seemed to pierce deeply into the hearts of the members of the guard, and the thickest blood flowed out. &1t;/p>

"In the name of Chief Pioneer..."&1t;/p>

Little Barney's voice trembled with his sword, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: &1t;/p>

"I say the last time." &1t;/p>

"Shut up, you, stinky, mouth."&1t;/p>

Semir's smile became brighter, like fireworks that were about to disappear in the next moment. &1t;/p>

He raised his hand and shook his head with provocative eyes. &1t;/p>

Before the situation on the field started to get out of control, Naki's words came in again, but this time, he was especially cautious: &1t;/p>

"Barney, Samir, I think maybe we shouldn't be so rushed..." &1t;/p>

Little Barney turned his head abruptly: &1t;/p>

"Shut up too, Naki."&1t;/p>

"This is an order from the vanguard officer." &1t;/p>

Naki choked on such a choke, and his expression turned ugly. &1t;/p>

Little Barney struggled to adjust his breathing and turned his gaze away. &1t;/p>

"A shameful traitor is accusing you, Sackel."&1t;/p>

Little Barney looked at the silent punishment knight coldly: &1t;/p>

"Because you were loyal and devoted to your duties eighteen years ago, but eighteen years later you became mad and suddenly pointed your finger at the bloodline you swore to protect."&1t;/p>

"And you have nothing to defend?"&1t;/p>

Quick Rope glanced at Thales in fright. &1t;/p>

Barney paused and took a deep breath. It seemed that what he was doing was an extremely difficult task: &1t;/p>

"For example, you know some secrets that we don't know, and it falls on this prince, so you have to find him?" &1t;/p>

"Or do you have a better reason, like this prince is an imposter?"&1t;/p>

"Or, is there any secret hidden in Canxing's bloodline, as you said, you were appointed king and have a mission that must be fulfilled?" &1t;/p>

Little Barney's eyes were full of hope and vague pleading. &1t;/p>

"Even... is he a scourge that must be eradicated?" &1t;/p>

"And so on?"&1t;/p>

Thales' heart skipped a beat again. &1t;/p>

But don't know why. &1t;/p>

He knows: &1t;/p>

He needn't worry. &1t;/p>

The field became very quiet. &1t;/p>

It reminded Thales of the gutter in the abandoned house—there were only corpses there. &1t;/p>

Little Barney stared at him with eyes that he probably didn't know what emotion it was, waiting for Sackel's answer. &1t;/p>

Semir still sneered and looked at everyone with disdain. &1t;/p>

The other members have different expressions. &1t;/p>

The atmosphere in the arena is getting more and more embarrassing. &1t;/p>

"No, we used to be guard brothers, we shouldn't have fallen to this point..."&1t;/p>

Naki gave up the possibility of communicating directly with Barney Jr., but he did not give up his efforts. Instead, he turned his head to ask his colleagues for help, with a hint of pleading in his tone: &1t;/p>

"Belletti, your position is relatively high, please, say something..."&1t;/p>

Even the fast rope can see that this weak little soldier is trying to distract everyone's attention, just to delay the arrival of that moment a little later. &1t;/p>

Unexpectedly, Belletti, the prisoner with a sad face, shook his head: &1t;/p>

"According to the rules, unless there is an order from the captain of the guard, the punishment officer shall not interfere with the wartime decision of the vanguard officer." &1t;/p>

Naki's words stagnate: &1t;/p>

"Wartime? But now..."&1t;/p>

At this moment, Sakel, who had been standing dumbly for a long time without speaking, suddenly raised his head, and his dull voice sounded again in the prison of bones. &1t;/p>

"It's okay!"&1t;/p>

But this time, his voice was full of joy and relief. &1t;/p>

The penalty knight looked at his fellow guards with gentle eyes: &1t;/p>

"Naki, Belletti, and Samir."&1t;/p>

"It's fine." &1t;/p>

He turned his head slowly, and his eyes met with the little Barney who had been staring at him in the air. &1t;/p>

But there is no spark, only heaviness. &1t;/p>

"Somebody needs an answer, that's all."&1t;/p>

Saker said hoarsely. &1t;/p>

Unknowingly, Thales' breathing became tense. &1t;/p>

He immediately discovered that not only him, but many members of the guard were a little unstable. &1t;/p>

"Thank you, Barney."&1t;/p>

Saker's tone was very calm, with a touch of gratitude and friendliness, like a kind and gentle uncle next door. &1t;/p>

"Thank you for asking so much, and thank you for still asking so much."&1t;/p>

He looked at Little Barney mistyly, nodded and said: &1t;/p>

"Thank you, thank you for your trust."&1t;/p>

The moment he touched the gentle eyes of the other party, for some reason, little Barney shook violently. &1t;/p>

He looked at the vaguely mighty target in front of him, whom he looked up to in the past, was once jealous, and vowed to defeat, and trembled unknowingly. &1t;/p>

At that moment, Little Barney's words softened, and he was no longer aggressive or cruel: &1t;/p>

"Then answer me."&1t;/p>

He spoke with difficulty, with a hint of imperceptible pleading: &1t;/p>

"Please."&1t;/p>

No one spoke. &1t;/p>

Sackel looked at little Barney silently. &1t;/p>

He knew, he knew what kind of answer Barney Jr. wanted. &1t;/p>

But...&1t;/p>

Saker lowered his head, let out a long breath, and showed a comforting smile: &1t;/p>

"You already have the answer, don't you."&1t;/p>

Little Barney trembled slightly. &1t;/p>

Sakeel's eyes swept over every colleague, and finally stopped in the empty void: "Reunite with Semir before you, and after you finally make sure...sure that Semir is not that person." &1t;/ p>

His eyes are a little dull: &1t;/p>

"You have the answer." &1t;/p>

At this moment, Thales felt many things from the people present, from their sudden changes in breathing and heartbeat. &1t;/p>

Relieved, pained, stunned, surprised, resentful, sad, disdainful...&1t;/p>

"Sorry for getting you involved, you all." &1t;/p>

Sackel raised his head and glanced across the ceiling, but he frowned melancholy, as if he was looking up at the sunset: &1t;/p>

"But I just have to finish...the unfinished business of the year."&1t;/p>

He said in a daze. &1t;/p>

Little Barney's figure flickered, his chest rose and fell. &1t;/p>

Back then...&1t;/p>

"Unfinished business?"&1t;/p>

He forcibly suppressed the thing in his throat, gritted his teeth and asked: &1t;/p>

"What did you do back then, Sackel?" &1t;/p>

"What does it have to do with this child?"&1t;/p>

In Thales' eyes, Sackel was still looking up at the pitch-black ceiling, as if there was his exit there. &1t;/p>

The corners of the other party's mouth became more and more curved. &1t;/p>

He gently raised his hand, touched his forehead, and squeezed out a clumsy smile that seemed to be pinched by hand. &1t;/p>

In a trance, there is a kind of sadness with tears in the smile. &1t;/p>

"That's right." &1t;/p>

Saker spoke quietly, as if telling the next bedtime story: &1t;/p>

"Barney, the answer you've been searching for for years...is here."&1t;/p>

Thales frowned tightly, staring at the punishment knight. &1t;/p>

So...&1t;/p>

Bearing everyone's complex and profound gazes, Sackel first took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. &1t;/p>

"Eighteen years ago..."&1t;/p>

Thales' nerves tensed up. &1t;/p>

"The one in the Fuxing Palace faked the crown prince's warrant and deliberately transferred you from the Hall of Stars to create a gap..."&1t;/p>

"So that the Shadow Shield and Sariton will assassinate the former king..."&1t;/p>

"And those who deliberately led the team away from the palace gate and left the crown prince to the assassins..." &1t;/p>

The punishment knight pulled his palm slowly, combed his forehead to the top of his head and the back of his head, exposing the ugly brand on his forehead to the air. &1t;/p>

He lowered his head and looked at everyone. &1t;/p>

Without the coverage of the forehead, the facial features on the penalty knight commander's face became sharper and more aggressive. &1t;/p>

While everyone was waiting shudderingly, his words became more indifferent: &1t;/p>

"The key person in that rebellion..."&1t;/p>

"Betrayed the royal guard..."&1t;/p>

"Betrayed His Highness the Crown Prince..."&1t;/p>

"Betrayed His Majesty the late king..."&1t;/p>

"As a result, the family of the Canxing family was ruined, and the blood of the entire royal family withered..."&1t;/p>

Every word, every sentence is extremely flat and tepid, like the drowsy sound of chanting in a temple. &1t;/p>

But it made everyone present tense their nerves. &1t;/p>

The penalty knight continued lightly: &1t;/p>

"The person who should really be charged with collaborating with the enemy but concealed the truth for eighteen years..." &1t;/p>

"That shameful, sad, hypocritical, disgusting, pretentious, sanctimonious, duplicity guy."&1t;/p>

The penalty knight opened one corner of his mouth: &1t;/p>

"It's me." &1t;/p>

Amid the uncontrollable gasps of many people, the penalty knight let out a breath. &1t;/p>

With a sense of relief like a heavy burden, his smile remained unchanged, and after a series of descriptions and titles, he added that unusual name that made everyone feel sad: &1t;/p>

"Imanu Sackel." &1t;/p>

"The Betrayer." &1t;/p>
