Chapter 231 Escape
"Master Wendy, of course." Ye Jing said, moving aside.
The young man walked in directly and waited until Ye Jing closed the door before saying, "My grandfather said that we are going to escape the city-state of the lonely king of the tower during the ceremony."
The ceremony here is not an annual ceremony like the Guili ceremony, but it starts at any time according to the mood of the High Tower King. It may be once every three days or once every week. The time is not fixed. At that time, the High Tower King will climb to the top of the tower in the center of the city-state and enjoy the kneeling worship of all humans in the city-state.
This kneeling was not voluntary, but the lonely king of the tower himself stirred up an endless gale, and if humans wanted to avoid being blown away by the wind, they had to kneel on the ground.
Ye Jing was a little caught off guard: "So soon? The last ceremony was five days ago. Given the king's temperament, the ceremony might start tomorrow."
Wendy whispered, "There is no way. Just like what you said, Moore, this city-state is a dead city-state. Slaves and civilians have no way out and freedom."
"Did I say this? This is what the Human King said." Ye Jing thought to himself, and then asked, "Master Wendy, why did you tell me this?"
"You are my friend, so I want to take you and your friends away with me." Wendy smiled, and the wind elf on her shoulder flew up and circled around the boy happily.
Ye Jing looked at the wind elf, and was curious about what the Human King Wansui liked about this elf. However, it was just a thought, and he would do whatever the Human King asked him to do.
So he pretended to be touched: "Thank you, but can you tell me how we can escape?"
Wendy came closer and whispered, "There is a tribe called Shar who are also fleeing. When my grandfather found out, he decided to wait until the tribe fled and propose to the king that we chase them, and then we can escape this way."
Ye Jing thought to himself: This plan... is crazy! The Lone King of the Tower will also appear during the ceremony. Escape in front of Him? It seems that the Shar tribe is being used as a gun by the Gunhild family.
However, the Gunhild family, to which Wendy belongs, is a noble family trusted by the Lonely King of the High Tower, and He will definitely agree at that time.
"Where do you plan to go after escaping?" Ye Jing asked again.
Wendy shook her head. “I don’t know. We heard that the south is a peaceful land, so Grandpa plans to go south after he escapes.”
The south is Guili’s territory, and this news was spread by Ye Jing’s men.
Wendy saw Ye Jing's thoughtful expression and said, "I'll go back first. I'll let you and your friends come to us on the day of the ceremony, and then we can escape together."
Ye Jing nodded repeatedly and said gratefully: "Okay!"
After Wendy and the wind elf left, he immediately returned to his desk and began to write a letter.
On the other side, the young man who walked out of the door suddenly felt his face being touched. He turned his head to see which wind elf followed him because of his singing.
It touched Wendy's face and pointed at Ye Jing's residence with its little hand, as if expressing something.
Wendy tilted her head and thought for a moment: "You mean, there's something wrong with him?"
The wind elf nodded, then turned around happily.
Wendy smiled and said, "He is my friend, and from what he said, we can tell that he has long been dissatisfied with the king. This is enough."
Hearing this, the wind elf hung its head in disappointment. Wendy reached out and gently touched the wind elf's head: "Okay, okay, I know you are worried about me."
It was the next day after Ye Jing wrote the letter and sent it out.
The lonely king of the tower once again climbed to the top of the tower and began the ceremony.
As the lonely king reached the top of the tower, the originally blue sky began to darken.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The strong wind roared miserably and swept across the entire city-state. In order to avoid being blown by the strong wind, the humans living here had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
Among these kneeling humans, there is a tribe that is slowly moving outwards. They are the Shar tribe. According to the plot in the game, after they flee, they will head towards the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and establish the Kingdom of Shar Fenrir.
As the wind howled, the lone king of the tower, Diekarapian, appeared on the top of the tower.
This is an extremely handsome man, with golden hair, emerald eyes, fair skin, and a high nose bridge. He wears a royal robe embroidered with a variety of colors such as red, white, gold, and green. He holds a scepter in his hand and wears a crown on his head. He looks down at the humans kneeling below.
Even when kneeling, the boundaries between nobles, commoners and slaves were clear.
The three great nobles, Gunhild, Lawrence and Leggenfind, were in the front, followed by the lesser nobles including Ye Jing, and then the commoners and slaves.
At the very front, there was a green-haired woman with a longbow on her back, kneeling on one knee with her head lowered.
Diecarpian glanced at the woman and continued to look down at the other humans below, nobles, civilians, and slaves.
The next moment, he suddenly saw some humans kneeling on the ground at the edge of the city-state, crawling into a passage.
"What are you doing?" Diocabiyan was furious when he saw this scene. "Why don't you kneel down to me?"
His voice spread, and he could clearly see panic on the faces of the humans kneeling on the ground, but their movements did not stop, and they continued to crawl towards the small passage.
Dicarapian was furious. He didn't understand why his people didn't kneel down to worship him. He had clearly provided them with a safe environment to protect them from the biting cold wind outside. The only thing they had to do was to abide by his rules and then kneel down to him. Why didn't they know how to be grateful?
Just when Decarabian was about to punish the group of humans, the chief of Gunhild suddenly spoke up, "King! Please don't do it. You are too powerful. If you do, the city wall will collapse, and countless humans who believe in and respect you will be killed by the cold wind.
King, please entrust the burden of punishing those humans who disrespect you to us who you trust."
The patriarchs of the Lawrence family and the Leggenfind were both stunned at the same time. They looked at the patriarch of the Gunhild next to them in surprise, wondering why the old man would do such a thing. Although they didn't know what had happened, when they heard the king's angry words, they immediately realized that some humans were trying to leave the city-state.
The same doubts as Diocletian's also appeared in the two people's minds: why did they leave the city-state? Are they looking for death?
When Diekarapian heard what Chief Gunnhild said, he looked thoughtful, then nodded slowly: "Go, bring those people back and kill them."
"Yes." Chief Gunnhild nodded, "I beg the king to allow me and my people and select some helpers to go with us."
"Yes." Dicaprian nodded again and returned to his tower.
The storm dissipated, and the humans kneeling on the ground could stand up again. The dark clouds above their heads also disappeared, and the sunlight shone down again.
