Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"..."

In prison, Lu Ming, Qia and Paulina fell into an awkward silence. As special prisoners, the three of them were held in solitary confinement, with no other prisoners around. Lu Ming stared at Qia blankly, while Paulina looked at Lu Ming with a worried look on her face.

"Master Alice, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side!"

Seeing that Lu Ming was heartbroken, Paulina began to comfort her, but Lu Ming couldn't hear her words at this time.

The silence lasted for a long time. As soon as the cell door was opened, several dragoons, led by Dilock, brought Rang in.

"Damn it! Let me go! You bastards, let me go!"

Jean, whose magic power was sealed, kept cursing, but this could not change the fact that he was already a prisoner.

The dragoons wanted to put him in the cage in the middle. When they opened the iron door of the cell, Jean still wanted to resist. He struggled desperately and kicked the door frame with his feet.

Seeing this, Dilock kicked him in the knee. The latter pulled his foot back in pain, and then the dragoon threw him directly into the cell.

"damn it!"

After being thrown into the cell, he immediately got up and rushed to the cell door, but the cell door had been locked from the outside. He could only hold the iron bars and express his helpless rage towards Dilock and the others outside.

Dilock looked at Jean with disdain outside the door. He had seen many prisoners like him. After waving the key in front of Jean, Dilock took his men away.

"Damn it!"

After the dragoon left, Rang sat on the iron bed in the cell and began to think of countermeasures. Only then did he see that Lu Ming and the others were imprisoned opposite him.

"Alice, Chia, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Although Rang acted very attentive, Qia ignored him at all. After hearing Rang's voice, Lu Ming raised his head with a slightly sad look.

"How were you caught?"

Hearing this, Jean fell into a brief silence, then he slammed the iron railing hard.

"Hey, there is a traitor among us. He exposed my whereabouts. I brought people to rescue you, but they ambushed us on the way."

Speaking of this, I recalled the scene at that time and smacked my lips unwillingly.

"There was a little girl in particular. She looked small but was proficient in magic. I wasn't paying attention and she tricked me..."

Ran said this in a disappointed tone, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to rescue Lu Ming and the others.

But at this time, Qia, who was lying on the iron bed, spoke.

"Save us? I see you're planning to run away?"

"Hmm? Qiya, what are you talking about? How could I abandon you?"

Qia's words shocked Rang a little. He was very surprised at Qia's current situation, but he continued to make amends.

"Then tell me, where were you arrested?"

"Of course... it was at the entrance of the Dragoon Headquarters. I just got to the vicinity and was ambushed by them."

"How long are you going to play dumb?!"

Seeing that Rang was still deceiving her, Qia stood up and yelled, saying that she had followed Rang for so long and she knew him very well.

"What are you talking about? Are you being brainwashed by them?"

"Stop pretending. I have not been brainwashed by them. On the contrary, I don't need to be controlled by you anymore."

"Varied……"

Hearing this, Rang immediately understood what Qia meant. He saw that Qia's complexion was indeed a little better than before, and she was no longer tortured by the poisonous magic like before.

"Oh, really? That means you betrayed us!"

At this point, Jean wanted to put a hat on Qia first, but Qia didn't care at all.

"Humph, go ahead and maintain your hypocritical persona. You're going to die soon anyway."

"What did you say?"

While the two were still arguing, the door of the dungeon was opened again, and this time Wildi walked in alone.

Seeing Wildi come in, both sides stopped arguing. Qia sat on her bed without saying a word, while Jean also sat on the iron bed in his cell, then looked at Wildi with a confident look.

Verdi walked to Jean's cell, looked at him silently, and then said coldly:

"Were you there when they killed the man who recognized you in the dueling arena?"

Looking at the phoenix tattoo on Jean's arm, Wildi stared at Jean with a cold expression.

"Why he recognized you has always puzzled me."

Wildey paced back and forth in front of Jean's cell while telling Jean what he was thinking.

“But I think that because he was such a gambler, he would have checked the floor of the duel to see if there was any winning ticket that had been accidentally thrown away.

That day, clues about the serial murders were circulated almost all over the city, and when the victim was checking the floor, he accidentally saw the tattoo on your arm through your cuffs and realized who you were. "

After saying that, Wildy looked at Jean and uttered the last two words.

"Is it right?"

Jean still acted very proud, he looked straight into Verdi's eyes, and then said arrogantly:

“He’s good for nothing.

A small man, for the sake of a small profit, gambled a little money. "

Jean's expression was very proud, but it was just a cover for his true feelings. Even though he was imprisoned in a cage, he was still trying to stay calm.

"I saw him bending over the floor looking for the ticket stub and then looking at me, so I sent someone to kill him."

After saying that, Jean gave Wildy a small smile, appearing quite arrogant.

"I want you to know..."

But Wildy ignored the provocation and said calmly:

"His name is Albert, he has a wife, and he wants to start a family."

Wildy spoke slowly, enunciating every word clearly, hoping the other party could hear him clearly.

"He'll just use the little money he gambled for a small profit..."

At this point, Wildey's eyes became more serious, and he stared at Jean, as if a lion was staring at his prey.

"His life was more successful than yours because he didn't die like a beast trapped in a cage..."

When he heard this, his expression changed subtly. The look he gave Wildy was no longer as confident as before, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch slightly.

"Not to be despised by everyone, not to be without hope... except for the final death penalty."

After saying that, Wildi looked at Jean, then stopped looking at Jean and left silently.

After Wildi left, his originally tense expression began to change from the faint smile at the beginning, the corners of his mouth began to droop, and his eyes revealed a hint of despair. His whole expression became much more depressed, like a wilted bitter gourd.

Although Jean said nothing at this time, Qia, who was standing by, smiled with glee after watching the announcement.

"Ha, it seems!"

Hearing this, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned around and started to curse at Qia:

"You bitch! Stop gloating here. Don't forget that you are also an accomplice! If we die, we die together!"

"Do you think everyone is like you? I have cooperated with them. They will commute my death sentence. From now on, I can live a free life, while you will suffer all kinds of torture in hell!"

"You traitor! What qualifications do you have to be so proud in front of me? Did you agree to let them sleep with you so that you can escape death?"

"That's enough! Stop arguing..."

Looking at the two people who were arguing non-stop, Lu Ming held her head with both hands and showed a painful expression. Then she yelled, causing the two to stop arguing temporarily and focus their attention on her.
