Chapter 57 Suspicion
The person who approached the cell was not alone. With the sound of armor clashing, Leon was escorted by two knights to Cheese's cell. It can be seen that although the two knights were escorting the blood lion, their faces
However, their expressions were very embarrassing. Obviously, these two people had completely lost their minds by what happened in the past two days. If the isolation of Leon and others before was to observe whether they were infected with the plague, but now the knight commander not only arbitrarily
Escaped from the quarantine area and appeared near the burned-down pharmacist's station. This is not something that can be excused by a simple coincidence.
In fact, compared to Cheese and Elsa who woke up naturally in the cell, Leon was woken up by a bucket of cold water. Being comatose due to lack of oxygen would not have any impact on the knight commander's physical fitness.
The long-lasting effects were that he could basically go to the ground after just one sleep. However, because he was rudely interrupted and his rest was extremely weak, he was deliberately interrogated by Gregory for two or three hours. Although the other party was hindered by
The identity does not impose any physical punishment, but just staying awake has already caused a great burden on Leon. Because of this, the two knights basically supported Leon when they escorted him into the cell.
After he was put into the room, the knight commander lay down on the straw and made no sound.
Originally, when Cheese saw this scene, he wanted to talk to the two knights and try to get some information. After all, the Blood Lion was obviously in a weak state now. It would take a long time to learn about the interrogation process and conclusion from him.
, however, the two knights did not respond to the mage at all after putting down Leon. They did not have the slightest sense of recognition for the man who suddenly appeared next to the knight captain and claimed to be a mage. There were even rumors that this mage used evil magic to bewitch the knight captain.
, driving him to burn down the apothecaries' quarters.
In short, after the other party avoided him like a god of plague, Cheese could only ask for trouble. But fortunately, maybe it was for the convenience of management, maybe because the space in the cell was tight, or maybe Leon had been there before he fainted
As instructed, the knight captain is now lying not far from the cheese. This is at least much better than three people being locked in three rooms respectively. The cell is not a pleasant place, so the two knights are
After completing the task, they strode out of here. And judging from the loud locking sound after they closed the door, even if Cheese could open the cell door of his room, the door of the entire dungeon might not be opened so easily. This
This can be regarded as ending the mage's plan to escape from prison.
"Go and see how Mr. Lyon is doing!"
There was no need for the boss lady to remind him that when the two knights locked the door, Cheese had already moved to the knight commander's side despite the weakness in his body. Although the armor was stripped off, it was also convenient for the mage to check the blood lion's body.
Although the knight commander was very weak at this time, fortunately there were no external injuries on his body. He only needed adequate sleep and proper rest, and he would soon regain his energy.
However, just when the mage breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to tell Elsa not to worry, Leon suddenly grabbed Cheese's right hand. The mage who was startled by the sudden movement of the other party was first stunned, and then
He soon discovered that the knight commander's lips were moving, as if he was saying something in a small voice. Cheese quickly put his ear to it, and the fact was exactly as he expected. Although his consciousness was almost blurred due to excessive fatigue,
Leon still relied on his firm willpower to repeat the useful information he heard during the interrogation in simple words.
After repeating it three times with great difficulty, the Knight Commander finally lost to the body's protective mechanism and fell into a coma. Only Cheese frowned again after listening to his ravings.
"What happened?" Elsa in the next cell couldn't help but ask after a long silence.
"If I understand correctly, it seems that Gregory wants to use this matter to judge us." The mage said.
"Trial? We didn't do anything. If it was really us who set the fire, how could we stupidly faint together next to that building?" the landlady said angrily.
"That's what we say, but we did knock out the soldiers patrolling nearby. Moreover, we escaped from the quarantine area without authorization and appeared near the fire scene. This has made it impossible for us to get rid of this suspicion. Besides, that Gregory has always wanted to
Looking for an opportunity to get rid of Leon, he could only say that we were suspected of contracting the plague before, but now, disobeying military orders, trespassing on important areas, attacking soldiers, plus burning down the pharmacist's station, all these crimes are not punished at the same time.
When we go to the dock, I know what punishment he will give us. Now I am just curious whether it will be hanging, burning at the stake, or beheading." Cheese replied.
"According to what you said, we were not killed by the rat people and the plague, but we were executed by the knights of the kingdom?" Elsa said.
"That's not the case. Although they will definitely sentence us to death, they can't kill a serious mage so grandly. I'm worried about Mona and the others now. Although they didn't act with us, they can't avoid it.
They will be treated as accomplices or something. The people Lyon brought to the Earl of Saron are undoubtedly his cronies. If he had the opportunity to catch all these people, I am afraid that the Gregorian knight would not be ambiguous. But fortunately...
…”
"What's good about it?"
At this point, Cheese chuckled and continued to answer.
"Fortunately, a blood lion is a blood lion after all. Even if his subordinates mutiny, it is not difficult to find someone to bring the news of our arrest to the people in the quarantine area. Even if everything goes well, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to let them go.
Impossible. After all, Leon is the Knight Commander of the Knights."
"Huh... Did you say no earlier? I was shocked. I thought Mona and the others had been arrested." Elsa also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Leon had arranged for people to rescue her companions in the quarantine area.
.
"But...that's not what really matters to me." The mage continued.
"Since you can guarantee that we won't die even if we go to the execution ground, what else do you have to worry about?" said the landlady.
"What I care about is not that Gregory. There was nothing wrong with his behavior and intentions from the beginning. What really worries me is that the crime that Leon just told me does not seem to include the murder of Baron Gray. But we are indeed
The body of the Baron was found in the station. Even if the body was burned beyond recognition by the fire, as the leader of the pharmacist, there is no reason why no one would notice his disappearance. Thinking of the charred corpse in the fire, although it cannot be concluded that it must be the Baron.
I, but I think that guy who wants to kill Leon directly will not mind adding a murder charge to our charges. This is unreasonable." Cheese sighed and said.
"Then what does this mean? Is it possible that Gregory knows who killed the baron?" Elsa asked.
Regarding this question, the mage just shook his head and said.
