Knight Perino knocked on the door and came in. Several knights came in with him. These knights were more or less stained with blood. They also brought a man in custody, a man wearing civilian clothes. This man's legs There was a wound on his body. The wound was not big, but it penetrated the thigh. It was obviously pierced by a long sword.
Kai looked at King Uther who was still sleeping soundly. He felt that it was not good to interrogate here, so he told Morgana and led the people out of the king's bedroom.
The one-stick knight is also very helpless. He wouldn't have come in if he had known it earlier. Now that he has come in, he has to leave again. It's really...
"who is he?"
Kai didn't have time to find a place to ask slowly, but asked directly outside the room.
"He is from the rebel Tao Lun!" Knight Perino is also a veteran knight and has had many dealings with the rebels. I still recognize some of the rebel members.
"Tao Lun?" Kai hadn't heard this name for a long time. Tao Lun was declared a rebel about more than ten years ago. This guy is very good at playing tricks. Although he is not a big threat, he has been wandering around Camelot for many years. From time to time, he will cause trouble for King Uther, which is rare. The rebels who have been able to hold off against King Uther for so many years.
However, in recent years, life in Camelot has been getting better day by day, and Tao Lun's life is no longer as carefree as before. Because of King Uther's propaganda, Tao Lun's image among the people is not good, which also caused Tao Lun to Lun's area of activity was getting narrower and narrower. By the time Kai came back, Camelot had not heard from him for three years. Many people thought that this guy had died in some ravine. Unexpectedly, now, he Jumped out again.
"What are these people doing here at the palace? Did they hurt anyone?"
Kai was neither surprised nor surprised that this group of people jumped out. I was surprised because I didn't expect that these guys still existed. It was easy to not be surprised. Camelot was in chaos now, and it would be strange if these rebels didn't come out to cause trouble. In the past few days, King Uther has repeatedly mobilized troops to support the front line, leaving Camelot's troops empty. In addition, in order to encircle and suppress the water-seeking beast, King Uther even mobilized the palace guards, so the defense of the palace was also reduced. As the emptiness grew, these guys were given a chance.
"They are here to steal this thing!" Perino said as he took out a fist-sized white crystal and handed it to Kai.
"Niyad Magic Crystal!" Kai knew this thing. This thing was hidden in the deepest part of the palace by King Uther, and no one was allowed to mention it. Even Kai had never seen it again after seeing it once. In order to seize this Niyad magic crystal, King Uther sacrificed hundreds of knights and thousands of elite soldiers, so Kai was deeply impressed by this thing.
King Uther actually didn't know what this thing did, but he knew that the wizards were very nervous about this crystal, so he snatched it at any cost and vowed never to let wizards get it again.
Whatever the enemy needs, we must attack.
King Uther doesn't understand those messy things, but he understands human nature. Since the Niad Magic Crystal is so important, well, I will let the wizard never get it. Even if that thing is of no use to King Uther, as long as it can hit the enemy, he will do it!
Kai held this crystal and carefully sensed the energy on it, and found that the energy inside was very strange. It was obviously very powerful, but Kai could not use the power above. It seems that only Celtic wizards know how to use this power.
There are specialties in the art industry, but Kai is not frustrated.
Kai was more interested in why Tao Lun got this thing? Kai is still clear about Tao Lun's information. Although this guy knows a little bit of witchcraft, he is actually just half a bucket of water, and his spell skills are not very good. This guy has been studying alchemy his whole life. As we all know, alchemy is just a liar. It's not really a serious spell.
Why does such a person want the Niyad Magic Crystal? Does he understand it?
"Can you tell me why Tao Lun got this Niad magic crystal?" Kai came to the captured man with the crystal and asked in a pleasant tone. "I think it's better for you to tell me. You know, I haven't slept for three days and I'm very tired now, so my temper is very bad. If you are willing to cooperate, then everyone is happy, but if you... I really don't mind Tell you what cruelty is."
The guy who was caught was obviously Tao Lun's die-hard loyalist, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to perform such an important task, so even if he was injured and caught, he remained silent.
But Kai didn't think things could be figured out so easily. As he said, he had been really irritable these past two days. First he fought with Sendrid, and finally Sendrid's side died down, and Arthur had another problem. The problem on Arthur's side has not yet been resolved, and King Uther is overworked. It can be said that he is currently facing a lawsuit, so he will inevitably be a little rough in his work. Fortunately, in this world, no one will bother him about human rights and other issues, so no one will say anything if he is cruel.
Since this guy refuses to talk, let the torture officers in the dungeon come to greet him.
In feudal society, torture was not as gentle as in modern society. It was basically as cruel as it was painful. There are no restrictions at all, and it is completely dependent on the torturer's imagination.
So being a tough guy in this era is definitely a challenging job. Before being tortured, many people feel that they can definitely withstand the torture, but in fact, there are very few strong men who can truly withstand those cruel torture methods.
This guy was no different, Kai just took a two hour nap. The guy confessed.
"He doesn't know much. He only knows that Tao Lun wants that thing just for a transaction with a woman. As for the specific details of the transaction, he doesn't know." Perino made a simple summary of the information obtained from the torture. Narrative. "This Tao Lun is very cautious in doing things. The things that the caught fool knew were what Tao Lun wanted him to know. He didn't know anything else. Even Tao Lun's camp was moved after he left. Now it’s impossible for us to follow the clues and find Tao Lun’s camp.”
"Tao Lun... this guy is nothing, you can let him go for a while." This Tao Lun himself is nothing. To Camelot, he is just a clown, unable to make big waves at all, and This guy can still be alive and kicking under the siege of King Uther for more than ten years. He naturally has his own tricks. It's not so easy to catch his tail. The woman Kai was more concerned about now was the woman who made the deal with Tao Lun. "Does he know more about that woman?"
Perino shook his head. "He only saw the woman once from a distance and didn't know anything at all."
"Don't remember any features?" Somehow, Kai felt a little familiar with this woman. Although this feeling makes no sense.
"Characteristics...he did say a little bit about it, but I don't think it's useful." Perino said hesitantly.
"What did he say?" Kai asked curiously.
"Black hair, red dress. That's all there is to know," Perino said with a shrug. These two characteristics are equivalent to saying nothing. There are many women out there who fit these two characteristics.
But Kai didn't see it that way, because he had already guessed who wanted the Niad Magic Crystal. After all, they had just met not long ago.
