The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 48



"Hey, zpiko. Come to change shifts. Why did you come so early today?" in the dungeon of the castle, the morning guard maz threw a bunch of keys in front of zpiko, who was lying on the square table.

There are five guards in the dungeon of the castle. One is the head of the prison, and the other four are divided into two teams. One team guards the gate and the other team guards the inner door, responsible for keeping the keys. And zpico is a member of that team.

Zipiko raised his head, rubbed his eyes hard, didn\'t care about the keys, but asked in a chatty tone, "isn\'t there anything in it, maz."

The guard named maz hung his black uniform on the hook. The uniform sent out a musty tide, like a rotten apple.

"What can happen," Mazz said back. "Be honest one by one."

"Oh, what about the prisoner in the innermost room?" pizko asked again casually.

"The innermost one?" Mazz thought, and finally remembered who pitzko was.

"You\'re talking about the guy named Catherine. He\'s crazy," said Mazz.

"Crazy?"

As soon as Mazz said Catherine was crazy, pizko was so anxious that he got up.

"What\'s the matter with you? Pizko, just a prisoner, do you need to be in such a hurry?" Mazz asked strangely.

"No, nothing. I\'m just surprised. Isn\'t that guy fine a few days ago?" pizko also immediately reacted. He was so rude just now.

"A few days ago, I thought he was going crazy. Didn\'t you see him laughing every day."

Generally, prisoners in dungeons eat and sleep like normal people in the first few days and want to talk to others, but after being closed for a period of time, everyone will become gloomy, lose appetite and can\'t sleep at night; Gradually, he would walk around the dungeon and talk to himself like a wild animal in a cage; Later, he would cry and laugh. At this time, the prisoner was not far from going crazy.

"What about today? Is there anything different today?"

"Guess what I saw today? That guy used the water in the bowl to wash his face."

The prisoners in the dungeon not only have a bowl of potato soup every day, but also drink very little water. They only have a small bowl of clear water every day. Ordinary prisoners are only willing to lick their lips when their mouth is dry. Wash your face with water. That\'s what crazy people do.

"No wonder Mazz thinks he\'s crazy," thought pizko. If you didn\'t know something about Catherine, you would think he was crazy.

"That should be crazy," pizko said after thinking about it.

"So be careful when you\'re on duty at night. Don\'t bite him when you deliver the meal." maz kindly reminded.

Pizko nodded to show that he remembered.

So after changing his clothes, Mazz hummed a little song and walked towards the gate of the dungeon. He was in a good mood because he could have a good sleep tonight.

Pizko sat quietly, listening to the ugly sound of maz humming a tune. It was not until there was a heavy closing sound at the gate that he jumped up from his chair and looked out through the keyhole of the inner door.

The outer door was closed, and maze did leave.

So pizko grabbed the key on the table and hurried to the innermost part of the dungeon.

He went to the innermost prison door, opened the small window for delivering meals, climbed down and looked inside with his head tilted.

It was Katherine who was closed there. Today\'s Catherine has long lost her handsome and healthy appearance. He was wearing a prison suit cut from sacks, his beard stubble, and his golden hair had lost its luster. When pizko watched him, he was sitting with his back to the prison door.

"Are you crazy to wash your face with drinking water? Do you want to make people suspicious?" pizko scolded.

Pizko took someone else\'s money. To be exact, I received Miss Helena\'s money to save Catherine, and the date of the action is today. So when he heard that Catherine was crazy, he was so impolite. Because no one can control a madman\'s behavior, you don\'t know when and where he will cause trouble for you. Fortunately, Catherine is not crazy.

"You can\'t go out with a dirty face," said Catherine.

"You\'re a prisoner. What face do you want," pizko taunted. Although he took the money from the gold owner, he didn\'t give Catherine a good face. Nobles and civilians will never look at each other.

"I am a noble, even if I am in prison. My king has not deprived me of my title." Catherine\'s tone was proud. In Catherine\'s view, being angry with pizko, even with him, is an act of blasphemy.

Pizko scoffed at Catherine\'s so-called aristocratic demeanor.

"Hey, here you are." pizko took out a round thing and threw it in his mouth.

The thing rolled to Catherine\'s side. Catherine picked it up and saw it was an apple, so she took it to her mouth and bit it. A trace of juice flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Some are broken."

Catherine chewed a few mouthfuls.

"It\'s good to eat now," said pizko gloating. In fact, Helena topizko brought a lot of food to Catherine, but pizko, out of vicious psychology, often had to put it in half bad. And take most of the data for yourself.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door outside. With his ears trained in the dungeon for many years, pizko immediately judged that it was the sound of the outer door. He got up quickly and trotted back to the duty room.

"Are they coming?" pizko thought as he ran.

When pizko ran back to the duty room, through the observation hole of the inner door, pizko saw two people in the passage just in front of the door. Both men wore long cloaks, and their whole body was covered in cloaks.

"Pizko, they\'re here to see Tada," the guard of the outer gate shouted inside.

Tada is also a prisoner in the castle dungeon. He was originally the groom of the Lord of fiordo. He accidentally mixed the nail into the oats during the feeding process, resulting in the horse\'s stomach perforation and death. He was put in a dungeon by the angry fiordo for three years.

Although relatives outside Tada would raise money to see him every once in a while, today pizko knew that the two men didn\'t come to Tada.

"OK, I see," pizko replied, opening the door.

"The old rule is fifteen minutes." another voice came from outside.

"I see, just fifteen minutes."

When there was no more sound outside, pizko grabbed one of them by the sleeve, dragged the two men into the door, and then closed the door.

"Are there any doubts outside?" asked pizko.

"No, I said I was Tada\'s distant aunt," said one of them. If Chechen were here, he would recognize that this was the middle-aged Tatar woman who had looked for herself during the day.

"Did he see your face?"

"No. It\'s so dark and I\'m huddled in my cloak. He must not see it."

Pizko breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at another man and said, "who is this?"

Although the words were addressed to the man, it was obvious that pizko asked the middle-aged Tatar woman.

"You don\'t have to know who I am. Because after this, we won\'t meet again. I don\'t want to come to this place."

Before the middle-aged Tatar woman spoke, the man spoke by himself.

To pizko\'s horror, the man\'s voice didn\'t seem to come from his mouth, but from the back of his head.

Then a more terrible scene appeared. The man fell to the ground, and there was a man behind him.
