Section 213 Hostages
Aruod followed the young attendant through the long corridor and came to a remote room in the castle, which looked dusty and could not be inhabited except for the open door.
"What's going on?" Aruod asked the young servant in surprise.
"Mr. Frances is inside?" The young attendant blocked the door and cut off the retreat of Arod and Xavi.
"Do you think we're blind? No one lives here at all." Harvey snorted coldly and said to the young servant.
"..." But the young attendant put his hands in front of him, as silent as a rock.
"I want to see you, but that's what Lord Frances meant." A man's voice came from the room. Arod and Harvey looked in the sound and saw a coat with gold thread embroidered hair and a green cake-shaped hat. His eyes were brown, his hair on his temples was black, and his appearance was like a Roman sculpture that Arod had seen.
"Who are you?" Harvey said to the man with his waist on his back.
"Professor Mars Titus, serve you." Professor Mars Titus bowed slightly, turned his left foot forward, and tapped his right finger on the hat.
"Italian?" Harvey blurted out in surprise.
"This is not surprising." Arod thought it was normal. Yuge, the Duke of Burgundy, also served as the guardian of Italy, and it was normal for Italian nobles to have Italian nobles in his court.
"Oh? You guys are very knowledgeable." Mars Titus was a little surprised. He thought these were just country bumpkins, but there was no surprise in Arod and Harvey's faces.
"Professor, what's the matter with us? If nothing else, we'll leave." Arod frowned. He had no good feelings for this pretentious Italian nobleman, and he wanted to leave.
"Stop. You may not understand that I am from a prominent family in Florence. In Florence, I own a lot of land and industries. The gold coins are piled up in my family's money cellar." Mars Titus said to Arod proudly.
"Oh, so what?" Aruod smiled slightly, spread his hands and said.
"You. Humph, you, the country bumpkin, my family is closely related to Rome. If you want to get rid of your lowly identity, perhaps passing the Holy See is a good way. How about you be interested?" Mars Titus was a little frustrated when facing Arod's indifferent attitude, but for his lover Frances, he could only endure it.
"Holy See?" Arod looked at Harvey with him.
"That's right, as long as you help me do something, you can enter the class and follow the will of God." Mars Titus smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he played with his golden cuffs with a reserved attitude.
"What's the matter?" Harvey asked.
"I know that you have outstanding medical skills, but human life is controlled by God after all, and mortal medical skills are not perfect after all. Maybe His Royal Highness the Princess may be summoned by the Lord." Mars Titus's face condensed. He said to Arod.
"Do you want us to kill His Highness the Princess?" Aruod asked mockingly.
"Do you think we are idiots? If we cannot cure His Highness the Princess, the Duke of Burgundy will hang us. Our bodies will be hung from the city gate for public display." Harvey said disdainfully.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to plead for you with Lord Frances, and Lord Duke will never blame you." Mars Titus patted his chest and promised.
"Haha, this is total nonsense, let's go." Arod didn't believe this slick Italian at all, and he took Harvey to leave.
"Wait. You two lowly wandering warlocks, I have given you the best choice. You dare to refuse. Since that's the case, don't blame me." Mars Titus showed murderous intent on his face. He pulled out a dagger from his waist. He held it in his hand and shook it, with a bright cold light.
"Mr. Mars, I have said it a long time ago, there is no need to say much to these lowly people." Three big men walked out of the room. They were all hideous and arrogant, and they could tell at a glance that they were robbing people.
"Um." Aruod looked at Harvey, knowing that he was going to kill him. Harvey shrugged indifferently. She suddenly shook her sleeves and a cold light passed by.
"Oh." A sharp flying knife hit a strong man's chest. The strong man groaned, opened his eyes wide and knelt down and died on the spot.
"What?" Mars Titus was so scared that he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that as a physician assistant, Harvey would suddenly launch an attack and kill one of his subordinates in one move. Although that subordinate was not his best, he was also a veteran who often engaged in assassination activities.
"Wow." The other two big men angrily pulled out the short swords from their waists and pounced on them like wild animals. Aruod immediately raised the wooden bench in the room and smashed them hard. The wooden bench hit one of them and immediately flew away wood chips, slightly stopping his movements.
"Arod gives you a sword." Harvey pulled out a long dagger from his boots and threw it to Arod. Arod took it in his hand and waved it to block the opponent's attack.
"This, these guys are so strange." Mars Titus saw in amazement that Aruod and Harvey were like wind sweeping fallen leaves, and they could not fight back. Harvey's dagger was like a spirit snake unsheathed, specifically attacking the opponent's vital weak links. His bloody subordinates gradually fell to the ground.
Aruod used the long dagger like a short sword. His every move was full of power, and his strength was unstoppable. You could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person. It would be impossible without a long-term family inheritance.
"Who are you?" When Aruod's long dagger stabbed the big man in the heart and killed him neatly, Mars Titus felt fear, his voice became hoarse, and he asked with all his strength.
"Marce Titus can't stay." Harvey looked at the two trembling Italians, pointed indifferently with a dagger covered in blood, and stretched out his left hand to wipe the blood on his face.
"It's too late, the servant ran away just now." Arod shook his head, walked forward and kicked Mars Titus hard on the ribs. Mars Titus let out a tragic howl. The weapon in his hand fell to the ground. This majestic Italian nobleman was just an embroidered pillow, and his subordinates could beat him.
"Wow wow wow wow." Suddenly, the sound of chain mail sounded from the corridor, and six fully armed soldiers appeared. They rushed over with long halberds in their hands, and followed them was the Duke's son-in-law Francis.
"Bold guys, you dare to assassinate the nobles, it's so frightening." Francis was wearing aristocratic costume, and the green cloak behind him was gracefully placed at the bend of his arms, and a long sword was slapped around his waist. As he walked with his big strode, the long sword hit his crotch.
"Sir France, save me." Mars Titus, who was kneeling on the ground, showed a happy smile on his face when he saw the reinforcements. He quickly stretched out his hand and begged.
"Hmph." Aruod held the long dagger tightly and used the protruding handle of the dagger to hit Mars Titus's nose bridge. Mars Titus quickly let out a terrifying howl and rolled on the ground with his face in his arms.
"Oh, my nose is bleeding." Mars Titus cried.
"Damn bastards, kill them." Seeing his lover being injured, Francis drew his sword angrily and ordered the soldiers.
"Drink." The soldiers who heard the order immediately bent down slightly, stretched out their halberd forward, and eliminated the battle formation to approach step by step.
"Arod?" Harvey tightened the weapon in his hand and said nervously to Arod. Even if they could fight, they would never be able to deal with six fully armed soldiers with long halberds at once.
"Come here, Lord Frances, let your people retreat, otherwise I will cut him alive first." Arod lifted Mars Titus up, blocked him in front of him, and put the dagger around Mars Titus' neck.
"You dare, if you hurt him, you will definitely regret it." Francis stared at Arod's eyes. He did not believe that a civilian dared to hold the nobles hostage.
"Oh, then you can try it." Aruod smiled slightly, reached out and cut Mars Titus's thigh with a dagger.
"Oh, God, for God's sake, Francis will do what he said and save me." Mars Titus shouted miserably, his face was covered in blood, and he was stabbed in his thigh again, so miserable that it was not very good.
"Don't, I understand, the soldiers retreat, back." Francis's face turned pale, and he quickly reached out to let the soldiers retreat, and Arod took the opportunity to close the door.
"What should we do now?" Harvey gasped and asked Arud.
"Get out of the idiot." Arod pushed Mars Titus into the corner, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.
"Who are you? I bet you are definitely not homeless doctors." Mars Titus said inconsistently, after all, his nose has been broken, and it is not easy to express it clearly.
"It's better to worry about your life." Harvey said to Mars Titus.
"You can only rely on hostages to exchange." Aruod said with his arms inconsistency.
"Crack." At this moment, a creaking sound suddenly sounded outside the door. Aruod and Harvey looked at each other and immediately rushed to the bottom of the bed at the same time.
"Oh." After the creaking sound, the sound of wood being pierced, followed by the burnt smell.
"It's a bow and arrow, damn it." Harvey said in surprise.
"It's the Rockets, Professor Mars Titus seems that you are not worth it." Arod said to Mars Titus with a confused look on his face. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
