Dawn of the Ash Tower

Chapter 57 Suspicious Clouds


.,

It was not alone who approached the cell. 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, the expressions on their faces were very embarrassing. Obviously, these two people were completely lost in mind by what happened in the past two days.If there was an element of quarantining Leon and the others before to see if they were infected with the plague, but now the knight commander not only escaped from the quarantine area without authorization, but also appeared near the burned pharmacist's garrison, this is not a simple coincidence. Prevarication.

In fact, compared to Cheese and Elsa who could wake up naturally in the cell, Leon was woken up by a bucket of cold water.Originally, coma due to lack of oxygen would not have any long-term impact on the knight commander's physical fitness. Basically, he could go to the ground after a night's sleep.But because the rest was roughly interrupted, and he was deliberately interrogated by Gregory for two or three hours in an extremely weak body, although the other party did not impose any physical punishment due to his identity, he just kept awake. It has already caused a great burden on Lyon.Because of this, the two knights basically supported Leon when they escorted Leon into the cell, and when he was locked in the room, the knight commander lay on the straw pile without making a 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 is obviously in a weak state now, and it may take a long time to learn the process and conclusion of the interrogation from him. However, the two knights did not respond to the mage's intentions at all after putting down Leon. They didn't have the slightest sense of identity with the self-proclaimed mage who suddenly appeared next to the knight commander. There were even rumors that the mage used sorcery to confuse the knight commander. , driving him to burn down the quarters of the apothecaries.

In short, after the other party avoided him like a god of plague, the cheese could only be regarded as asking for trouble.But fortunately, it may be for the convenience of management, or it may be because of the tight space in the cell, or Leon had ordered before he fainted that the knight commander is now lying not far from the cheese.This is at least much better than three people being locked in three rooms.The prison cell was not a pleasing place, so the two knights strode away after completing their mission.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 can be regarded as breaking the mage's plan to escape from prison.

"Go and see how Mr. Leon is doing!"

There was no need for the proprietress to remind, when the two knights locked the door, the cheese had already moved to the side of the knight commander against the weakness of the body.Although the close-fitting 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 was no external injury on his body. He only needed enough sleep and proper rest, and he would recover his energy soon.

However, when the mage breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to tell Elsa not to worry, Leon grabbed Cheese's right hand suddenly, and the mage, who was startled by the other party's sudden movement, froze for a moment, then He quickly noticed that the knight commander's lips were moving, as if he was speaking in a small voice.Cheese quickly put his ears on it, and the facts were indeed as he expected. Although his consciousness was almost blurred due to excessive fatigue, Leon still used his firm willpower to put the useful information he heard during the interrogation into simple words. Paraphrase it.

After three difficult repetitions, the knight commander finally lost to his body's protection mechanism and fell into a coma.Only Cheese, who had heard his raving, frowned again.

"What happened?" Elsa in the next cell couldn't help asking after a long silence.

"If I understand correctly, it seems that Gregory wants to use this matter to judge us." The mage said.

"Judgment? We didn't do anything. If we really set the fire, how could we stupidly faint by the side of that building?" The proprietress said angrily.

"That is to 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, which already made it impossible for us to get rid of this suspicion. Besides, that Gregory always wanted to Looking for an opportunity to get rid of Leon, before he could only say that we were suspected of being infected with the plague, but now, disobeying military orders, trespassing on important places, attacking soldiers, plus a charge of burning the pharmacist's garrison, combined punishment for several crimes. I also know what punishment he will sentence us when I go to the dock. Now I am just curious whether it is hanging or burning or beheading." Cheese replied.

"According to what you said, we were not killed by the rat man and the plague, but we were executed by the knights of the kingdom?" Elsa said.

"That's not true. Although they will definitely sentence us to death, they are not good enough to kill a decent mage in such a high-sounding manner. I am worried about Mona and the others. Although they did not act with us, it is inevitable. They will be regarded as accomplices or something. Those whom Leon brought to the Earl of Saron are undoubtedly his cronies. If there is a chance to catch all these people, the Gregory knight will definitely not be vague. But fortunately... ..."

"Fortunately what?"

Having said that, the cheese chuckled and continued to answer.

"Fortunately, the blood lion is a blood lion after all. Even if the 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 it goes well, it is not difficult to find a chance to let them go. Impossible. After all, Leon is the knight commander of the knight order."

"Huh... Did you say no earlier? I was taken aback. I thought Mona and the others had already been arrested." Elsa was also relieved to hear that Leon had arranged for someone to rescue her companions in the quarantine area. .

"However... what really concerns me is not this matter." The mage continued.

"Since you can guarantee that we will not die even if we go to the execution ground, what else do you have to worry about?" said the proprietress.

"What I care about is not that Gregory. His behavior and intentions have been fine from the beginning. What really concerns me is that the charges that Leon told me just now do not seem to have murdered Baron Gray. But we did The body of the baron was found in the garrison. Even if the body was burned beyond recognition, as the leader of the pharmacist, it is unreasonable that no one would find him missing. Thinking of the charred body in the fire, although it cannot be concluded that it must be the baron Myself, but I think the guy who wanted to kill Leon directly would not mind adding a murder charge to our charges. This is unreasonable." Cheese sighed softly and said.

"Then what does that mean? Could it be that Gregory knew who killed the baron?" Elsa asked.

Regarding this question, the mage just shook his head and said.

"I don't know, there's so little information. It's impossible to say what happened. But I think we'll know when the trial starts."
