Twenty Sided Dice

Although the road back to the camp is not long, the stone steps are rugged and the ice and snow make it slippery and difficult to navigate. By the time he hurried back to the inside of the castle, Jazz's legs had already begun to tremble. On the one hand age and intense exercise, on the other hand the news of the bishop priest.

devil? Is there a devil in the castle? If such words had come from the mouth of a big boss, Sir Bill would have rebuked him for spreading rumours, bound him by the mouth, and thrown him into the dungeon. But bishop priests don't talk nonsense, there must be some evidence of this. But Cooper is obviously not going to say more on the city wall. Who knows where the wind and snow will send these words? So the three of them came to His Royal Highness's room together, which was protected by layers of barrier, and there were at least five paladins standing guard on every passage outside the door. Sir Bill thought: It would be **** if evil could get in here again.

"We found the devil's poison in the prince's diet," said Reverend Cooper, after the door was closed and only Sir Bill, Evan, Prince Aaron, and Earl Todd were in the room. "Although it is very weak, it is indeed something from the lower world. Because the amount is extremely small, the paladins who inspected the food and beverage did not find it, and even I felt it because I accidentally picked up this cup. I can't judge yet. It can play its role, but it is very likely that it is the medium of some kind of curse, which makes His Royal Highness become weaker and weaker."

"It's so outrageous!" Earl Todd was extremely annoyed. He looked at Aaron on the sickbed, and when he saw that the handsome and confident prince in the past could only lie on the soft bed, listless all day, he felt very uncomfortable. I should have prevented him from entering that cave, the count kept berating himself, and I should have done my duty to exhort him, but I didn't.

The prince hadn't fallen asleep, it was hard for him to really close his eyes and rest now. He was always sleepy no matter how much sleep he slept, but just had some red wine. He could feel his body energized, as if sleepiness and exhaustion had never happened. But the alcohol addiction that comes with it is a big problem, and the Count has begun to rein in his drinking. So he could only lie in bed and rest. Hearing this news, he had only one thought. 'Give me a glass of fine wine, and then let's go find the devil and destroy it. What a great adventure this will be! ’

"His Royal Highness, if you agree, we will start an investigation. Everyone in the castle must be checked. The devil is very good at disguising."

"Check each guard first." Evan said bluntly: "First, ensure the safety of my brother."

"Every Paladin is an example of courage and justice." The bishop raised his voice slightly, but then he returned to his calm: "Before slaying evil, we must first sharpen our swords - we will develop our own check.(

The prince raised his hand. He waved gently: "It would be good if the doctor was still there."

Although this sentence deviates from the theme, it is actually the biggest blow to Pastor Dawn. What happened to His Royal Highness's body, even Pastor Cooper couldn't tell. Diagnostically, all his bodily functions are intact, but his spirit is low, and he is only full of energy when stimulated by alcohol. It's like a person who voluntarily gave up his destiny and never pursued it again, seems to have lost interest in everything around him. Priests cast various magical spells in turn: healing, removing curses, dispelling poisons, eradicating diseases, but to no avail. It is said that when the prince came out of the cave, he was in much better health under the treatment of Dr. Rees. Can also preside over the canonization ceremony. Unfortunately, in the snow ambush, the doctor died under the arrows, and the body was thrown off the cliff. The priests couldn't find any clues for a cure. No surviving prescriptions were found. Being compared by a pharmacist, the Temple of Dawn was a shame.

Sir Bill made the rounds in time. He suggested to Earl Todd: "I don't think it should be made public. It is better to do it in secret. But you can call the crowd and then the priests will screen together."

"Sir is right, there are already some complaints outside. Everyone is sitting in the city of sorrow, watching the orcs but can't fight. If there is another internal devil incident, I am afraid it will be chaos." Evan pointedly stared at Pastor Cooper said: "If the devil really exists. He is actually very difficult to attack his brother, and it is very difficult to succeed. But if he changes his strategy. It only needs to kill one or two nobles, and it is enough to disintegrate the army. So this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. ."

Earl Todd looked at Evan in surprise. In fact, he had just thought of this issue. It seems that after a series of events, the king's illegitimate son is growing rapidly. At present, the situation of His Royal Highness is still not good, so he ordered on his behalf: "Just do as I just said, start with the Paladins first, and at least have some reliable people. Baron Bill, if you go to organize those mercenaries, just say yes. The task of making money is handed over to them, and those who do not want to come will get out of the Black Blood Castle immediately. Evan, you go to the Shrike Knight, and ask him to bring all the people with titles to the council hall. The bishop and the priest will meet there. them."

Evan's eyes turned away, staring at him tightly, and after a few seconds, his frowning brows loosened: "Well, this matter is very simple, I can come back after a errand. What to do next? "

"Guard your brother." The earl pretended not to notice the anger in Evan's heart, and still said calmly: "I believe that nothing can pass the protection of your long sword, right?"

It can be discriminated against, or it can be suppressed. Evan thought about it and turned his eyes away, just in time to meet Aaron.

There was no expression in the eyes of His Royal Highness, the weakness had overshadowed the fire of emotion, and Aaron's eyes now only had indifference. Evan felt sorry for his brother, and was ashamed of his childish behavior just now. It wasn't the first day that the word "illegitimate child" appeared. Didn't I realize that it was impossible to get rid of its influence in this life? But why is it so sensitive now? Evan thought for a while, and suddenly woke up: Even if he could only lie on the bed like a corpse, His Highness is still His Highness, and is always more important than an illegitimate child. No matter how clever the swordsmanship is, it is difficult to fight against the laws and customs of the world, and only three words can crucify a person's life.

"Go on," Lord Todd ordered. Everyone filed out, but when they parted, Sir Bill gave Evan a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

The Paladins have no problem, and so are the mountain cavalry. The jazz are safe, even the mercenaries have no devils. However, there are a few evil guys, and they are entwined with the resentment of the victimized. These people were caught. He was thrown into the black jail along with the Slint family.

In the afternoon, the soldiers who were patrolling began to investigate, but the priests still found nothing. But then, rumors began to spread, saying that the priest of the Temple of Dawn was looking for a scapegoat. Make him responsible for the health of His Royal Highness. Others say that there are traitors in the castle, and they are actually spies of orcs by disguising themselves as human beings. As a result, people in the castle were quickly panicked. Everyone looked at each other with suspicion.

Fortunately, there was no second "poisoning" incident by the devil in the Black Blood Castle that day, otherwise it would definitely be as chaotic as the bombing of the camp.

The next day, the investigation was extended to all servants and servants, and then to prisoners held in cells. Evan watched the action of the Dawn Knight with a mocking attitude, and sat by His Royal Highness's side all day. Since the servants were all called away, he was temporarily responsible for helping his brother drink water and eat.

"If you can't even do these things, how can you rule the country in the future?" Evan's words did not arouse Aaron's reaction at all. Only the reflection of the wine bottle will do. "When will you be okay?" This almost became Evan's spoken word.

There was a noise outside the door, and it seemed that many people were running on the passage. Evan subconsciously held on to the hilt of the sword, ready to fight. At this time, the door opened, and a morning priest came in. The pale golden robe on his body looked particularly eye-catching, and the smell of fragrant powder also disgusted Evan. The priest gave a simple and quick salute, and said, "We've found the devil."

Evan didn't believe the news, his hand never left the hilt. The only thing he was interested in was where the priest stood. 'Take two steps forward, and I can kill you. ' Evan's eyes were full of chills, and he always maintained the highest vigilance. From beginning to end he knew one thing: the devil is only in the heart of man.

A hand climbed lightly on his arm. Prince Aaron took a deep breath and said in a weak voice, "Give me those drinks, I'll see." At this time, Earl Todd also walked in. I was overjoyed to see this. After all, the prince has improved and is willing to take the initiative to do something. Together with Evan, he changed the prince into a suitable travel coat and poured him a full glass of red wine.

Red wine was like blood, and Aaron was noticeably better after drinking it. While the Earl was hesitating whether to put a long sword on His Highness's waist, Sir Bill rushed in and said loudly, "Janet is only a demon, not a devil. There must be something wrong!"

"Don't yell. In what manner?" Earl Todd reprimanded, frowning. "After being subdued in the snow, didn't Janet disappear with your apprentice? How could she be among the servants? Especially after the arrival of the priest of the Temple of Dawn, you and I regained control of the situation. Why didn't she show up? Can't doubt her motives?"

"Probably because she was just a child~www.readwn.com~ was terrified." Sir Bill continued to defend: "But the Demonborn is not a devil after all."

The Count said, "But what she does is the devil's thing! There are many ways of evil, and it is impossible to guard against it. You can see that when the news of her arrest came, His Royal Highness regained her spirit, which has already explained the problem. The priest of the temple can't be mistaken, and I also saw the strange ability of that woman, she can perfectly disguise herself as someone else. No wonder it is so difficult, not a devil's spy."

"I think this matter needs justice, and I can't jump to conclusions." Evan thought for a while. Siegel has always had a good impression of Janet, and even for the sake of his "sacrificed" brother, he would have to say a few words. "At the very least, Janet should be asked to explain what happened in this series of events. Only in this way can His Royal Highness be seen as aboveboard."

Earl Todd frowned and looked at Evan, guessing in his heart what purpose he had in letting the devil defend himself in front of the Prince's Highness. At a time like this, there shouldn't be any judgment at all, isn't it just a demon, these two words are already enough reasons for the death penalty. Even a trial is just to find out if the devil has an accomplice.

"Death to the devil." Prince Aaron's voice was very low, but everyone heard it. (To be continued)
