Foggangmu was very busy.

As the servant steward of the former City Hall and now the Governor's Palace, all logistical matters in the castle must be confirmed by him personally. Although it may seem like a beautiful place, if something goes wrong, you may become an ordinary slave, or even risk being sold to the slave market. Therefore, he works extremely seriously and is under great pressure.

In the past two days, he had just organized people to clean up the burned underground vault. Now Lord Orlando was hosting a banquet again, saying that he wanted to wash away his bad luck. Foggang had to quickly organize people to prepare the banquet venue, food and drinks, and then Try your best to find programs that can add excitement to the party.

Mr. Orlando has been in a bad mood recently. Mayor Christopher specially asked the entertainment program to have new ideas. However, there are only a few singing and dancing acrobatics troupes in Duolun Town, and since Orlando moved in, there will be banquets every now and then. Those dancers All of the group’s signature programs have been repeated, what new programs can there be?

You can't do a circus, right?

Sweating profusely, Foggang ordered the servants to place the utensils, and after exchanging a few words with his deputy, he was about to go out in a hurry, preparing to go to the market to find innovative programs before dark. Two voices came from the corner. A "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" attracted his attention.

His niece Maria was hiding in the doorway, half of her body exposed and waving to him.

"Maria, why are you so leisurely? If someone sees me and thinks I am favoring you, and secretly goes to Lord Orlando to complain, you will be sold to the slave market!" Foggang walked quickly to Mary Ya stared in front of him.

"Uncle Foggang, can you go to a place with me?"

"I'm not going anywhere. There's a banquet tonight and I don't have time to hang out with you!"

After speaking, Foggang was about to leave, but Maria grabbed his arm and said coquettishly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Uncle! Just go with me. I won't waste much of your time." ."

Looking at Maria's pitiful eyes, Foggang Mu was a little helpless. Maria was the most beautiful woman in their family and had a kind and lovely personality. Therefore, she was loved by many people, including Foggang Mu.

Because of the war, Maria's parents had died. As Maria's only relative, he had the obligation to protect her, so he tried every means to keep her by his side. Although the face of Maria in front of him was covered with "pockmarks", her clear eyes and three-dimensional facial features made him feel like he had seen Maria as a child, and his heart immediately softened.

"Okay, okay, I only give you ten minutes." Foggangmu sighed.

"Great, I like you the most, uncle!" Maria said like a jumping bird.

Foggangmu chuckled and said, "What mysterious place are you going to take me to?"

"It's not mysterious even if it's mysterious. It's mysterious even if it's not mysterious. You'll know when you go there." Maria said playfully, sticking out the tip of her tongue.

After saying that, Maria pulled Foggangmu out of the banquet hall and walked to the second underground floor.

Because the vault had been burned down and the soldiers guarding it had evacuated, they did not encounter any obstruction and soon arrived at Foggam's office.

As a butler, Foggam has his own office, although it is just a simple small room.

"What are you doing in my office?" Foggam asked in confusion.

"Come in!" Maria pushed his slightly fat body into the office with her arms, then followed him in and closed the door.

Candles were lit in the room, and three mysterious men in robes suddenly appeared in front of Foggangmu.

Foggangmu was startled: "Who are you?"

The three took off their hats, revealing three unfamiliar faces. Some are amazing, some are scary.

Jin Jin bowed slightly to Foggangmu and said: "Mr. Foggangmu, I'm sorry to meet you in this way. My name is Eric, and I am Maria's friend."

"Are you an elf? Why aren't you wearing handcuffs?" Foggangmu saw Jin Jin's slightly pointed ears.

"Because I'm not a slave." Jin Jin smiled.

"Not a slave..." Foggangmu was slightly confused. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You are the one who set the fire..."

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth.

Jin Jin looked at Foggangmu with some surprise. No wonder he was able to become Christopher's butler as an elf. His mind was really bright.

"You guessed it right, I did burn the vault."

Foggang looked at Maria meaningfully. Maria blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look directly into her uncle's eyes.

"Tell me, you have obviously escaped from the town, why did you come back? Do you want me to help you with something?" After thinking about some things, Foggangmu became calm and began to make tea for himself.

I have been busy for most of the day and haven't even had a few sips of water.

"We want to see Dr. Wagel." Jin Jin said.

Foggangmu's movement of pouring tea paused slightly: "Wagel? What do you do with it? Do you want to rob the prison?"

Leanne interjected: "Yes, we want to get Dr. Wagle out!"

Foggang looked at Leanne: "Who are you? What is your relationship with Eric?"

Jin Jin hurriedly introduced: "These two are my friends Li An and Ka Pu."

Kapu forced out a smile and timidly waved hello to Foggangmu.

"Just friends?" Foggam asked.

Li An frowned and said: "What exactly do you want to say? To help or not to help, give me an accurate answer."

Jin Jin hurriedly interrupted Li An and said with a smile: "Mr. Foggangmu, I know this is a bit too much for you. We are not close friends, so asking you to take such a big risk to help us is indeed a bit overwhelming... ....But Dr. Wagel is kind to us, we can’t just watch it die, we must do something for it.”

Fogang Mu picked up the tea cup and blew on it, took a sip of tea, and said: "We are all elves, so I should take care of you, not to mention you saved Maria before..."

Jin Jin helped Maria escape from the contamination of two orc soldiers. Maria had already told Foggangmu what happened, which scared him into a cold sweat and is still scared to this day.

"But, you want to save Dr. Wagel, but he may not want to be saved by you. Do you know this?" Foggam put down the tea cup and said.

Jin Jin and others were slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Wagel's wife and children have been captured in the Governor's Mansion, and he will not escape on his own." Foggangmu said.

"What?" Jin Jin was a little surprised.

"Then Dr. Wagel's wife and children will also be saved together!" Lianne said firmly.

"It's simple." Foggangmu sneered, "Their families are not locked up in the same place. Vagle is in the dungeon, and his wife and child are under house arrest by Orlando alone next to Orlando's room. There are soldiers guarding the door. You want to How can we save them together?"

Lianne was a little annoyed at Foggum's arrogant attitude: "Then just go in. Except for Orlando, who is a bit of a threat, the other orcs are vulnerable minions. Let's rob them and run away!"

"Lianne, don't be impulsive." Jin Jin stopped him, "It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands. We don't know how many orc soldiers there are here. Besides, even if we leave the castle, we may not be able to get out of the city gate. We still need to think long term. "

Foggangmu said: "Yes, there are two hundred soldiers stationed inside the castle, and there are nearly five hundred people outside the castle including patrols and city guards. Once they are alerted, it is impossible for you to get out alive."

Jin Jin thought for a while and said, "I want to talk to Dr. Wagel first. Maybe we can rescue it first and then find another way to save its family."

Foggangmu showed a troubled expression: "But the person guarding the dungeon is Moldo, the other deputy leader of the Azog Orcs. He is a powerful and difficult guy. It will not be easy to get past him... "

Maria on the side stamped her feet and said: "Uncle!"

"Shut up!" Foggangmu glared.

Jin Jin understood clearly and said, "Mr. Foggangmu, you asked you to help us so much. What can we do for you?"

Fogangmu's eyes lit up and he praised: "Eric, it's really easy to talk to you. Yes, although you saved Maria, you need some gold coins to help you with everything, and I don't have any here." Money, if you have it, I can do some activities..."

"Ka Pu, take out the money bag." Jin Jin said decisively.

Kapu reluctantly handed the heavy bag to Jin Jin. Jin Jin threw it to Foggangmu and said, "These are all we have, are they enough?"

When Fogang Mu opened the bag and took a look, his eyes immediately went straight: "These...are all gold coins? Are they all given to me?"

"Yes. As long as you can help us rescue Wagel, these are yours." Jin Jin said firmly.

Foggang frowned: "You gave it to me only after you rescued it? However, since it has never revealed your whereabouts, just this morning, Orlando sent the head of Waggle's wife to it. As far as I know, Waggle I have been on a hunger strike for a day, and I am afraid that I no longer want to live, so I may not follow you."

Maria tightened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't know these things.

"Orlando!" Jin Jin punched the stone wall with anger burning in his eyes.

Leanne was very angry at Orlando's cruel behavior, but she was even more angry at Foggang's opportunistic attitude: "Why did you say it now?"

Fogan muttered: "You didn't even ask."

"You..." Li An was so angry that she was about to step forward and slap this philistine elf to death, but Jin Jin stopped her.

"Foggangmu, take us to Dr. Wagel. Even if it doesn't want to leave, you can still get half of the bag of gold coins." Jin Jin said.

"Okay!" Foggangmu gave a high-five, "I have two more requests. First, let this big brother Blin follow up the dinner party for me. This is his racial talent, and he will only do better than me. , even if Maria is with you, it won’t arouse any suspicion; secondly, if you are caught, you can’t give me and Maria out!”

"It's a deal!" Jin Jin nodded.

...

The dungeon is on the third underground floor of the castle. To enter the dungeon, you must pass through a long, narrow and damp bluestone passage. At the end of the passage are two fenced iron gates. After passing the iron gate, you can actually enter the area where prisoners are held.

The two iron gates are about twenty meters apart, with tables and beds placed in the middle. King Azog's confidant, the deputy leader Moldo, who is known as the "Dark Cage" of the Azog Orcs, lives here.

Foggam didn't know how terrifying Moldu was, but there were no other orc soldiers in the huge dungeon. Moldu was the only one serving as the gatekeeper, which showed that Orlando was extremely relieved about it.

At this time, Moldo was lying on the bed sleeping, and his loud snoring resounded throughout the dungeon. If he stood at the stairs of the second floor, he would mistakenly think that there was some monster below, which would make people want to give up.

The snoring stopped suddenly, and Moldo suddenly sat up from the bed. It has a fat body, a green face and fangs, sparse yellow hair on the top of its head, two short and pointed ears, and a pair of eyes as big as a pair of copper bells. It does not look like a person from the Azog tribe, but more like a waking lion in the Blue Star world. head.

At this time, it was staring at the entrance of the dungeon with vigilance.

There were very few torches in the dungeon, so he could barely see, but Moldo could still clearly see three people walking towards the dungeon.

"Lord Moldo, it's me, Foggangmu!" Foggangmu said with a smile on his face.

Moldou's expression relaxed. It recognized Foggangmu and made vague words in its mouth, as if it was asking something.

"There is a banquet tonight, and the slaves have to do their best to protect it, so I will bring people in to clean the dungeon in advance. By the way..." Foggangmu picked up the heavy bag in his hand and shook it, smiling, "Here You brought some food and wine."

Moor Dou's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the first iron door, grabbed the bag and opened it. The tangy aroma of wine and meat whetted his appetite, and his saliva couldn't stop flowing out.

"Come on, come on, I'll put it on the table for you and have a drink with you." Foggangmu placed wine and food on the table and asked Moldo to sit down. "Oh, by the way, open the second door and I'll let them in. Clean it up?”

Moldou, who was about to feast, stopped and seemed to be hesitating.

"They are all my people, no problem. Besides, this dungeon only has one exit. With you here, why are you afraid of something happening?" Foggam encouraged.

Mol Dou smiled happily, opened the second iron door, sat on the table and ate hungrily.

Fogangmu deliberately shouted instructions to the two people behind him: "You two, move more quickly and remember to clean up the feces, you know?"

Jin Jin and Li An, disguised as slaves, nodded and quickly walked into the dungeon carrying cleaning utensils...
