Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

The prison corridor seemed to have no end, and Emer couldn't help but think that the entire underground of Lulu Town was a prison like this, but by chance a strange feeling arose, the cells on the left and right sides turned into black walls, detached from the concept of time and space, just walking, walking towards the end of this corridor.

Emer's trance stopped the moment Barron stopped, and Barron slowly turned his head, pointed to the sides, and said in a very low voice, "The cells on both sides are the inhabitants of the town of Lulu. "

After saying that, Barron stepped aside, and Emer saw two old men with mops and buckets in front of him, walking towards them, and Emer also stepped aside to make way for the cleaner, and when he walked to the front, the cleaner politely greeted Barron.

"They're the cleaners here," Barron told Emer, "and if it weren't for them, this would be a stinking sewer." "

Emel turned to look at the cleaner's back, then turned to observe the Lulu people in the cells.

They were lying on the bed, naked, or burying their heads in the corners, or curled up, motionless and scrawny like dead bodies, and if it weren't for the heaving of their lungs by breathing, Emel would have thought they were dead.

"What's going on?" Emer asked, turning to Barron.

"They're asleep," Emer didn't hear Barron clearly, motioning for him to repeat it, "they are usually awake for a fixed amount of time, probably only two to three hours, so I just urged you, and now that they are asleep, you can now go directly to the last cell, and I am waiting for you here." "

The last cell, in a gloomy corner with no light aperture at the top, is a cell that is shielded from sunlight.

"Is it Barron?" The prisoner in the cell struggled to raise his head after hearing Emer's footsteps, his eyes open on his skeletal face hollow, and after seeing that it was not Barron, he lowered his head again, "Who are you?"

"When we first met, I was Emel, the new lord of Lulu. "

After listening, the prisoner quickly sprang up, his skinny body instantly burst out with amazing strength, his hands clutched the fence fiercely, his eyes glared at Emer, and shouted, "You're not dead!"

His shouts startled the sleeping residents of Lulu along the way, but they just sat up and held their heads, talking in their dreams as if they were begging.

"Don't pierce my feet with nails!

"It's terrible outside, the lords and lords are hanging on the walls, and the crows will come and eat me after eating their meat. "

...

Words like these were uttered from the mouths of one inhabitant after another of Lulu Town, but less than half a minute later they suddenly lay down again and fell into a deep sleep.

Although it wasn't Barron and Emer who said they wanted to show him, the scene was terrifying enough for Emer, and Emer's ears had not yet recovered, so he only spoke to the prisoner in front of him after the agitation had subsided: "Barron told me that if you come here, you can know the impact of the steel nails on Lulu Town, is that it?"

"I'm Kak, the former gatekeeper of Lulu Town", just saying his name and occupation, Kark knelt down along the fence, and finally kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lulu is like this, it's all because of me." "

Because it was inconvenient to speak one high and one low, Emer sat cross-legged on the prison floor and asked with a serious face, "Why do you say that?"

"I was the one who revealed the news of the lords to the steel nails, but the steel nails deceived me, and the kite deceived me. "

"What did he lie to you?".

"The first lord to be killed by a steel spike, I know him, he used to be the lord of my hometown, but he is a bastard, he preempts the people, oppresses the people, and does all kinds of evil, I was very scared when I heard that he came to be the lord of Lulu Town, and it was then that a friend of mine found me and said that if he revealed the news of the lord to them, he could help me get rid of him, and I agreed, not only revealing the date of his lord's arrival, but also later revealing the hiding place of the lord's body. "

"Why are their bodies hanging on the walls?".

"I really didn't expect the steel nails to hang his body on the city wall, and no one is allowed to put it down, so as to deter the people here, if someone doesn't listen to them, that person is dead", Kark took a deep breath, and tears fell unconsciously, "I just wanted to change the corrupt state of Lulu Town, Shree Gosho has forced the people here to be unpresentable, if there is another bastard, then the city will really be finished, but I... I never thought things would turn out like this, to this point where no one can do anything about it, it's different from what I thought, I just wanted to make this place better, I didn't expect it to be like this, I was... I thought that this would have a good effect, and I revealed the whereabouts of the lord behind me to them, how could I think that? "

"Shree Gosho..."

It's the name again.

Ever since Emer was wounded during the Battle of Nu Hall, he had heard Shree's name everywhere, but he had never seen a real person, including this time, and he had the idea that perhaps he had unknowingly become a pawn in Slai's hands.

But now, Shree Gosho is still out of reach and the battlefield is far away, so the steel nails in Lulu Town are the most important thing at the moment, so Emel then asks Kak, "Then why are you here?"

"I don't remember when the first lords died, watching more and more people leave Lulu Town, I suddenly woke up, this is not right, maybe I didn't do anything at the beginning, the result would be similar, but now this situation, it must be wrong, so I confessed to Barron, the strange thing is that he didn't blame me, he didn't say anything, I blamed myself too much, I felt like I was going crazy at any time, so I locked myself up", Speaking of this, Kark was shocked as if he remembered something," By the way, Barron, Barron was kidnapped by the spike that night, and when he came back the next day, he was unharmed, but it was like a sudden change of person, no... No... Even Barron..."

Kark then uttered a bunch of nonsensical speculations, all of which were meaningless information, and Emel saw that Kark was getting more and more self-reproachful, so he told him to 'get some rest', and then got up to leave.

"Please, Lord, help us... Pull out the nails, and kill me after that, as long as you can make this place the way it used to be... I don't expect to change!".

The

words 'no extravagant hope for change' seemed to touch Emer's scales, and he suddenly clenched his fists in anger, but the anger dissipated in an instant.

"I will find out the truth and give everyone an answer. "

Barron was still waiting for Emer at the beginning, but unlike at the beginning, he had an extra golden letter in his hand, the seal of the letter had been opened, and Barron had already seen the contents of the letter first.

Emer walked slowly from the end of the prison corridor, and now there was only one question left in his mind, what exactly did Barron say to Kite on the night of his abduction, so he walked up to Barron and said succinctly, "What did you say to Kite on the night you were kidnapped by the spikes?"

"Let's wait until you come back", Barron handed the golden letter to Emer, who was shocked when he saw the contents of the letter, "A letter has just arrived in the capital, King Faro wants to see you, the time is very short, you must leave immediately." "

King Faro's letter was sudden, with the king's seal on the envelope and signed by Shree Gosho.

Emer's priorities changed in an instant, and he was transferred back to the battlefield from Lulu, so he had to be quick and quick to finish the matter in Lulu.

So he went back to the entrance of the prison and ordered Barron to verify the identities of the prisoners one by one, and to release them as soon as they were identified, and when all preparations were made, Emer got into the messenger's carriage and prepared to go to the capital to meet the king of Faro.

Is everything a miracle by chance, or is it a natural fate?
