The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 132: The Knights of the Elk Family Part I

Prius has been held here for five days.

After the transformation, the residence was almost like a cell. The original wooden door has been replaced with a wooden fence and all the furniture has been removed. Only a few blankets left. The only advantage was that the room was still clean, and neither air nor rain could enter.

Other than him, there were four other people in the cell. One belonged to the Wolf Family, while the other three were from the Ryan Family. And he himself was a knight of the Earl of the Elk Family.

“Oh, shit! When can we go?” The oldest knight of the Ryan Family shouted, “Grain in my area has not been sown! My wife doesn't know how to handle these things.”

“Your domain?” The young knight of the Wolf Family sneered at him. “Do you think His Majesty will let you go to collect horses, weapons, and armor? Do you think he'll give you a chance for revenge? To be honest, you should consider it merciful for not hanging you already”

“What did you say?!” The older knight glared at him.

“That's right,” said the young knight in a carefree voice. “Duke is the mastermind behind the rebellion. Why didn't he throw away his elite knights, leaving them for his son? As for us, we have no choice but to go to the battlefield under the threat of the duke.

“I think you want to kill yourself!” He walked over and raised the young man, with his right hand clenched. Just as he was about to beat him, a hand stretched out from behind and held him firmly.

“Stop! Halons. Do you want to attract the guards?” A very handsome knight pushed his fist. “He's right. We are knights of the Duke. When convicted, the sentence will be severe. Right now, the only thing we can do is wait for the result. Look at the Elk Family knights and look at you . Where is your attitude as a noble? ”

Prius. He was Ferlin Eltek, the star knight of Longsong Fortress. His nickname is Morning Light. He had attracted many young noble ladies. But in the end, he married a civilian woman, which caused a huge uproar at the time. Hearing Ferlin Eltek mention it, Prius could not stand still anymore. He said to the three quarreling people, “I'm not sure if your domain will be returned. But at least I know His Majesty will not kill you.”

“Oh why?”

“Killing you in the castle would be more effective, why would he kill you here after all the trouble he went through to bring you here? For his people?” Prius shook his head. “The knight could not even enter Border Town.”

They did not burn, kill or plunder the city, so the townspeople would not hate them. Therefore, for the prince, killing them in the city would not be as good as killing in the fortress. Since they were not killed in the fortress, they should be fine.

Ferlin thought for a while and nodded. “What you say makes sense. And what is your name ..”

“Prius Dessau.”

“Thanks for your convenience, Sir Dessau.” Ferlin looked at him with gratitude and brought Halon back to the corner.

Ferlin Eltek sat and hummed on the wall.

Prius thought Ferlin Eltek was not too afraid, but “feltness” - itself is just a cover.

Prius knew that he was not fit to be a knight. He did not inherit his father's courage or his mother's wisdom. Compared to the sword, he performed by guarding his fields. For example raising chickens and ducks, go fishing in the pond. He had been forced to fight for the Earl of the Elk Family. He doesn't even like hunting, and he doesn't mind killing people. When attacking, Prius is always behind others. He was still shocked to be alive.

“Wait ..” Suddenly, she felt a bit strange. “As a star knight, why did Ferlin Eltek also survive? Shouldn't he be the first to leave?”

“Your Majesty would like to see you,” shouted the guards at the door, “Sirius Daly! Come out first.”

The young knight jumped up, waved to the others, and walked out of the cell.

Halon ran to the door but was forced back by a short blow from the guards. After locking the door, the guard said, “Don't worry, it will be your turn.”

Knowing that the trial is coming soon, Prius is getting nervous. Damnit damnit! He had been waiting for this day, but now that he was here, he was terrified. She's upset. His body could not stop trembling. He looked at the door from time to time. It was like waiting for the birth of his first child, with hope and panic coexisting.

Fortunately, the wait was not long. About 30 minutes later, the guard returned. “Prius Dessau, your turn.”

He stood up in panic and tripped over the blanket on the ground. Fortunately, Ferlin quickly helped him.

“Thank you.” Throat's dry.

“No problem,” replied Ferlin gently, which made Prius feel relieved.

He nodded to Ferlin and followed the guard out of the cell.

His guardian was a boy, about 17 years old, wearing dark brown leather and boots, he carried a thorn and a stick in his hand.

“Aren't you going to tie my hand?” ask Prius.

“You were searched before being locked, what can you do without a gun?”

“Where will you take me?”

“Castle Your Majesty.”

“What happened to the man in front of me? The knight called Sirius. What about him?”

The guard shrugged and did not answer.

Well, maybe he doesn't know, maybe he won't tell. Prius stopped asking.

He felt strange about this guard. He looked like an ordinary civilian from his clothes and appearance, but he was not afraid of the knights and when speaking he did not even use the most basic honor. It seemed that he was not aware that these people could easily determine his life and death in normal moments.

There was something strange about the guard's eyes. Prius had seen many civilians who had been running around for life, who were stiff and indifferent, like soulless corpses. But in the eyes of this man, he saw arrogance. He was obviously a civilian, but he had the same proud attitude as the knights. Prius was very confused.

What kind of environment could create such a person?

He looks around. Although he had never been to Border Town before, he still heard of this barren and remote place. But the city in front of him was growing rapidly, far different from what he had imagined. The streets were filled with busy people who were busy quickly. From time to time someone would greet the guards. Everyone's faces were rosy and full of energy as if there was no suffering during the Demon Moon.

Close to the castle, he saw an open space with over a hundred people. It seemed like they were building a house, but looking at its size, it seemed like more than one. The material stacked nearby was clay bricks. In general, only nobles could choose this expensive material, but again, this house was too small for nobles. Some homes that have been built in open spaces are only slightly larger than the living room. In addition, the room was too similar, as if it had been printed. What kind of nobleman likes a room like this?

With a thought full of questions, Prius entered the castle.
