Chapter 149 Reasons
Mrs. Satir in the cell dusted herself off, tidied her appearance, and then walked out slowly.
"Thank you very much for your rescue, gentlemen. Your heroic actions have made the Hune family owe you a huge favor. When I return to the family, I will definitely offer you a rich reward as a thank you. Although this worldly property cannot express my gratitude to you, this is the only thing the Hune family can do. Please accept it."
Mrs. Satir's words were flawless, which made Noshier feel very comfortable, but compared to the reward, he was actually more curious about why this group of people were kidnapped here?
"Thank you for your generosity, Mrs. Satir, but I want to know more about why you are here than the reward. Why did Duke Van Sampler kidnap you? Can you answer this question?"
Mrs. Satir's eyes narrowed after hearing this, and she subconsciously looked at Scar in the cell opposite. No, not Scar, but the shield he was carrying. After seeing the shield, Mrs. Satir seemed to want to say something, but she realized the existence of other people around her, so she didn't say anything in the end.
Noshier noticed this strange behavior, but before he could ask, Salin suddenly interrupted.
"Ah, I get angry every time I think about it. I don't know why others were caught, but I was just unlucky. At that time, my other two companions and I stole some bread from Talek Bakery in Baldur's Gate to fill our stomachs, but those two clumsy idiots were discovered by the store manager, and then the Flame Fist was called."
"At that time, I tried my best to explain to those soldiers that we didn't steal anything, but Alice and Bedek, these two idiots, didn't even wipe the butter off their mouths, and finally forced us to jump into the sewer to escape separately, and I ran and ran. I got lost and accidentally ran into this group of cultists in black robes and gold masks. "
"I felt something was wrong at the time, so I turned around and wanted to run away, but I fainted inexplicably before I took two steps, and when I woke up, I appeared here. Alas, I am such a poor guy, no, that's not right, the reason why I ended up like this is all because of those two idiots!"
It sounds like an unlucky guy who was innocently affected, and he can't provide any valuable information at all, so Noshier ignored her complaints and continued to turn his head to Mrs. Satir.
And seeing Noshier's questioning eyes, Mrs. Satir began to become a little hesitant. Should she tell the details of that thing here? But that thing is too dangerous. If she exposes him here...
"Excuse me, can you let me out too, and then we can talk about something that everyone wants to know?"
At this time, the only man locked in the cell said to Noshier helplessly, but there was a reason why Noshier left him at the end, but since he interrupted
Noshir turned his head to him and said to him.
"The proposal is good, maybe I can talk to you first, but releasing you... No."
"What...! Why? Aren't you here to save people?"
"I can answer this question for you, but I can only say that saving people is just a side job. I won't tell you my real purpose, nor will I release you from the cell unless you can answer my question."
"What question? As long as you let me out, no matter what you want to know, I will tell you as long as I know it."
"Very good, then you answer me first, why have you been locked up for such a long time without suffering any harm? This is a bit unreasonable, so tell me, what did you do to make her not hurt you while imprisoning you, why is she so special to you?"
"...How did you know that I was locked up for a long time? Time?"
"Answer me... Forget it, believe me, no one knows better than me what it's like to stay in one place for a long time without sanitary conditions. Your face and the stench on your body clearly tell me that you have been locked up in this dungeon for at least two months."
"So now tell me who you are and why you are like this. My patience is limited, please answer quickly."
"...My name is Kajil Orumar. I don't know why she treated me like this. In fact, I used to be the Duke's sewer maintenance supervisor. I served the Duke for a full six years. During this time, I have always maintained a good relationship between the Duke and the Duke, so I really don't understand why she treated me like this. "
Sewer maintenance supervisor? If what this person said is true, then there is indeed a reason why he was not abused. After all, this person used to be a regular subordinate of the Duke of Van Sample. He has a clean background and a high status, but why would such a person be locked up?
"The reason you gave can barely explain why you were not abused, but this reason alone is not enough. Think carefully about what you did before this happened. What happened that forced Duke Van Sampler to kidnap you?"
Why did this happen? Cargill's thoughts could not help but return to an afternoon two months ago with Nosher's words.
At that time, he had just planned a new maintenance route, but within two days of construction on that route, he suddenly received news that his kobold plumbers suddenly began to disappear in large numbers. Because of this incident He himself temporarily suspended the project and then went into the sewer to investigate, but found nothing.
Later, the project was resumed, but less than two days later, more than 50 of his original kobold tribe of more than 300 people disappeared.
In total, 1/6 of the quantity disappeared in less than three days. After such a big thing happened, he knew that this problem was no longer something he could solve, so he suspended the project and wrote a report and handed it to him personally. He visited Duke Vansample in the hope that the Duke could help him find the reason for the disappearance of other kobolds. However, after seeing the report, the Duke just asked him to go home and wait for the approval of the new maintenance road.
"...That's it. Less than two days after that incident, I was attacked at home. The intruders knocked me unconscious and tied me here. I have no family because my job is in the sewer. I have very few friends, and maybe no one knows I’m missing until now. Oh my God, why is this happening?”
Kargil covered his head in pain and squatted in the cell, while Nohir looked at Ska who came to him at some unknown time.
"What he said was true and he was not lying. It seems that he is indeed a victim."
Scar judged that he was not lying through the ability of divine perception, and if Kargil was not lying.
"I'm sorry, sir, I was too vigilant. Your experience makes people sympathize with you, but as long as today passes, the Vansample family will become history completely, and their actions will be exposed to the world, and you yourself will also be exposed. You can be a witness against their depravity, and in a way you're avenged."
Nohir opened the cell and helped up Kargil who was lying on the ground.
"Contact the Vansample family head-on? Sorry, I don't have the courage. After what happened, I just wanted to stay away from Baldur's Gate. This incident made me realize that even a rural town is much safer. It’s countless times higher than the mud pit of Baldur’s Gate. I will never come back after leaving here.”
In this dangerous world, how can we call it safe? However, Nohir did not mean to dissuade him. After all, Baldur's Gate will indeed be too dangerous in the next few years, and leaving during this period may not be the right choice.
"I respect your thoughts, man, but before you leave, can you tell me where the specific area of the sewer you were responsible for repairing is? I am more interested in that area, and there may be unexpected gains. "
"It's very dangerous there. I don't recommend it to ordinary people... Well, I think you should be able to solve it. And if you really solve the unknown monster, then my colleagues will be less dangerous when working in the sewer." ”
Kargil squatted on the ground and began to draw a picture on the ground with his fingers. After a while, he drew a very crude map, and then pointed in the direction.
