Working Prophet

Chapter 225 Key Testimony

"Sir Carloman, do you remember me?"

Ilea said to the man in front of him with a pair of gray-brown ears and a long thin beard.

The latter raised his head timidly after hearing this, and his bloodshot eyes stayed on the female lord's face for about three or four seconds before he recognized the girl.

"You are...Ilea, Ruth's daughter?!"

"That's right, it was me. On my eighth birthday, you took me to ride a horse on the grass outside Teacup Castle."

"Oh my God, it's really you! Ilea, were you also kidnapped by those villains?" Carloman's eyes widened and he looked at Thomas standing next to the female lord with some fear.

"This is my captain of the guard, Cavalier Thomas." Ilea gave a brief introduction to the two.

However, after seeing the weasel coat of arms on the knight's armor, Carloman was at a loss again.

"Oh, this batch of armor originally belonged to the Emmanuel family. In order to thank me for getting rid of the black dragon and avenging their family, they gave this batch of armor to me. I haven't had time to change the pattern on it. Chapter." The female lord explained.

"So you saved me, Ilea!" Carloman's eyes filled with excitement, and he stood up tremblingly from the ground, intending to give Miss Rabbit a big hug, but was stopped by Thomas.

In addition, Carloman also noticed that the girl took half a step back calmly.

The joy of the owner of Acorn Castle after he successfully escaped from trouble also dissipated most of it immediately, and he smelled a bad smell.

"Those who kidnapped you, do you know anything about their origins?" Ilea continued to ask.

Carloman shook his head, "I don't know. They suddenly appeared when I was hunting. There were seven of them, all with their faces covered. They tied me up without saying a word and killed my attendants."

"Afterwards, I was taken away by them. These days they have been using all kinds of cruel methods to torture me, and even cut off my right hand."

As Carloman spoke, he stretched out his severed arm. The upper part of the wrist was empty, and the broken area was wrapped in a strip of cloth, which had been dyed brown by blood.

"Then do you know why those people kidnapped you?"

"What else...these desperadoes are just for money." The owner of Acorn Castle's eyes flickered.

"And you insisted on refusing to give them money, even at the expense of your right hand?" Miss Rabbit said, "Why didn't I know you took money so seriously?"

"They didn't give me a chance to choose at all, and cut off my right hand as soon as they came up."

Recalling that nightmare experience, Carloman closed his eyes in pain. It took him a while to calm down his breathing, and at the same time he thanked the girl again.

"You saved me, my child, from those villains. I don't know how to repay you. In addition, I also heard about your successful slaying of the dragon. It was a very remarkable feat. If Russ is still alive, he will definitely I’ll be proud of you.”

After a pause, he looked around again, "Where are we now, in the green field? They put me in a wine barrel before, and I couldn't see the outside scene at all."

"You are in Yanxue City now." The female lord said calmly, "By the way, David's cavalry is just two streets away."

Carloman's expression froze when he heard this, but then he forced a smile on his face and said, "Yanxue City, that's great. We will be protected by the guards of the Figuerola family. We will be safe."

"I am indeed safe, but you are not necessarily."

Carloman laughed dryly and pretended to be stupid, "I don't know what you are talking about, Ilea... Well, can I leave now? I need to go to the Silver Moon Church to find a doctor to treat my injuries."

"Please." Ilea quickly stepped away from the door.

Carloman couldn't believe that he could get out of trouble so easily. He stood up tentatively and walked out of the room with some staggering steps.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, the female lord's voice sounded from behind him again, "You know what will happen to you when David finds you, right?"

Carloman's body was shaken.

"As long as you leave this hotel, David's eyeliner nearby will find you immediately. We spent a lot of effort to get you in just now."

Carloman's body trembled even more when he heard the words. After a while, he finally withdrew his stepping foot, turned around and said to the girl, "What exactly do you want?"

"An answer."

"what is the answer?"

"I already know that what happened in Acorn Castle more than half a year ago was not an accident, but a premeditated murder. I need you to tell me who ordered you to murder my father."

"I..." Carloman opened his mouth and trembled for a long time, but could not spit out a word.

"Tell me the name."

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Carloman obviously knew that there was no point in arguing anymore. Maybe the group who kidnapped him before were also related to the Arias family.

"No, you killed my father. He regarded you as a close friend. I need to avenge my father."

"Impossible. If you know his identity, you will know that your revenge cannot be completed at all."

"That's my business." The female lord said.

"Then what good do I do? No matter if I say it or not, I will die." Carloman said with a sad smile.

"If you tell me, you will at least feel better before you die, if you still feel a little bit guilty about murdering my father."

"…………"

Carloman seemed to be completely defeated by these words. He closed his eyes in pain again, covered his face with his remaining hand, and started sobbing.

"He forced me. The Figuerola family is the lord of the West, and that man is the next heir of the Figuerola family. He only had to use his mouth, and someone would do everything for him. They framed Hugo. , my only son, I had to do what he said.

"This is the only way to save Hugo. I don't want to murder your father. We are friends, but I can't disobey David's orders. I'm sorry, I'm too weak..."

Hearing Carloman finally spit out the name, Ilea also let out a long breath. She didn't feel much joy, but she felt relieved that she had traveled thousands of miles and was finally reaching the end.

Following the technique Professor Li Yu gave her, she pressed the pause button on the recorder and completely recorded the conversation between the two.

After that, he didn't even look at Carloman who was kneeling and crying in pain. He stepped directly over the latter and left the room without looking back.
