Chapter 554 Birds of the Cage

How's it going? This is the touching love story between my father and mother. Wow, if someone can bravely stand up to save me in times of danger, I will definitely be moved to marry him. And this beautiful bell tower fountain is only available here. It's really unfair. I also want it, too." Xia Luo was excited as she told the story told by her mother Liv (of course, Xia Luo didn't know the key place).

Thomas: "I didn't expect that there was such a story back then. No wonder I didn't know it. It turned out that it happened more than a year before I was born."

Xia Luo: "So if you don't see it, you don't know it, but now I tell you, just thank me gratefully. Well, what did you just say about what happened more than a year before birth? So, you are still one year older than me. Huh? It seems that when I came, I also heard that the lord here is just a teenager who is a little older than me. Alas, I thought he was a very bad person, but I just learned that this lord was also a poor person.

Thomas was suddenly surprised and then asked puzzledly, "Uh, wait a minute. Just now, what did you say that the lord here will be a very bad person? And why is it still a poor bug?

Xia Luo made a grimace and said with a smile, "Why should I tell you this kind of thing? Anyway, I said he was a poor person, and he was a poor person."

Thomas: "Can you tell me? In fact, I am the lord of this city.

"Ah!" Xia Luo was very surprised.

Thomas: "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself to you just now."

Xia Luo looked up and down at Thomas: "Oh, now it seems that your clothes don't look like those worn by ordinary people. So, forget it, I won't care about this kind of thing with you. I'll forgive you this time... Er, since I've finished reading here, I'm going to leave." After Xia Luo knew Thomas's true identity, she wanted to run away like a child in trouble.

Thomas was very nervous and stopped Xia Luo: "I'm really sorry, but I really want to know what happened to what you just said. Please tell me, please."

Xia Luo: "Yo, how can you treat a lady like this? I'm going to be angry." Xia Luo's stubborn young lady's temper is still very similar to her mother in some ways.

Thomas: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Thomas knew that it was wrong to force others, so he retreated.

Xia Luo secretly glanced at Thomas and saw him with an extremely lost expression. It seemed that she must be sad.

Xia Luo: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Just now, you also made a lot of effort for me, but do you really want to know the truth? In this case, it's a very unpleasant thing to say.

Thomas: "Compared with ignorant happiness, I hope that I can know the true face of things. At the beginning, when I was born, my father committed suicide for no reason. Soon after, my mother also passed away because of her weakness and sadness. I was regarded as the birth of the disaster star and the person who brought misfortune. I have always been afraid of others. No one wants to come close to me, and only two adults, Frasa, Falick and Haka, are supporting me. In those years, why did my father do this? This question has been growing up with me. Therefore, I really don't want to see anything that hides me. No matter how cruel the reality is, I still want to seek the answer.

Hearing Thomas's life, Xia Luo also lowered her head with embarrassment. She was sentimental and cried out: "It turns out that you are so miserable that you haven't been loved by your parents, and you haven't even met your father. Wow, it's so pitiful."

Thomas touched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was talking about my story, but I made you cry. Please don't cry. I apologize. I promised you what you said."

"Oh, that's what you said." Xia Luo changed back and didn't feel that she was crying just now.

"Ah..." Thomas really doesn't know how to deal with the little girl in front of him.

Xia Luo: "I want you now to help me find a way to leave this castle safely. I believe this is no problem for you, the lord."

Thomas shook his head helplessly: "It's no problem to help you get out, but why do you want me to go out with you?"

Xia Luo: "What's the matter? Have you never gone out by yourself?"

Thomas was embarrassed: "Yes, because to go out, you have to get the permission of Falick and Haka."

Xia Luo: "What? It's so big. Why do you still listen to those adults? My mother has always agreed to play by myself." No wonder Xia Luo ran away by herself, and Liv was not worried.

Thomas: "However, as a lord, if he is not in the lord's castle at will, it will worry others and cause trouble."

Xia Luo: "Well, no wonder you are deceived by those two adults, and you don't have any friends here. It's really hard to imagine that you will stay in this stone prison for more than ten years."

Thomas bowed his head and said no.

Xia Luo: "So, I want to say that you also sneak out with me. Don't you want to know the truth? Well, only when you go out can you know all this.

Xia Luo's ** is really big. She doesn't want to continue to be blinded by lies. She must use her own eyes to see the real thing.

Thomas: "Well, I'll go out with you."

Xia Luo: "That's decent. Come on, come on, hurry up."

Thomas: "Well, but the way out is on this side."

Xia Luo: "Ah!"

......

"Wow, there is such a secret channel." Xia Luo came out of a tunnel.

Thomas followed and came out: "Yes, I only know this way to sneak out of the castle. Only a few people know the secret way here."

Thomas is the lord. Anyway, he has the right to know the secret road for important people to escape, and the city of Alama is a city built on the mountain. Therefore, even in the city, there are many secret places that can become the exit of the secret road. Moreover, Thomas' identity was not convenient to go out openly, so he thought of this place.

Thomas: "Where are you going next?"

Xia Luo: "I'm worried that I will abduct you. Don't worry. If you want to know the truth, just follow me."

In this way, Thomas followed Xia Luo and strolled in the streets of this familiar and strange city.

In an alley, Thomas waited here, and Xia Luo ran back happily, holding the clothes of ordinary people who had just bought.

Xia Luo ordered, "Put it on, our lord. People will recognize you at a glance. It's not fun. You can just become my follower. Also, make your face dirty quickly and try not to recognize you.

Thomas was not an arrogant man. He did not hesitate and immediately changed into civilian clothes that ordinary nobles would not touch. Then, there was some dust on his face, which made it a little dirty.

Xia Luo appreciated it and then said, "Very good, you can go out to meet people, but I won't allow your dirty hands to touch my clothes."

Thomas is speechless...

The two walked openly on the street, and Thomas saw it for the first time that he had come into contact with it. This is the life scene of the ordinary people of the Ishubal people.

"That's great. It turns out that the people in the city live a happy life." Thomas came all the way and saw the happy smiles of the people, as well as lively talks and laughter, which made Thomas's original worries dissipate a lot at once.

Xia Luo: "You don't understand this. This is the mentality of ordinary people. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they will try their best to treat each other with a smile every day, so strong and hard to live."

Charlotte seemed to be very touched by this, and Thomas was ashamed of it.

Xia Luo: "Do you want to see the real thoughts of those people? Well, wait a minute, you can't say anything. Follow me honestly.

Thomas nodded.

"Hee hee, look at me." Xia Luo was so excited that she came to the place where the crowd gathered, and then began to shout loudly, "Hey, why didn't you see that lord come out here today? Really, such a bad lord, when I see it, I will definitely throw a stone and smash his big bag."

"Ah, this..." Xia Luo's strange behavior really didn't surprise Thomas.

After hearing Xia Luo's words, the people around them were very nervous. Many people left here one after another, and many kind-hearted Ishubar people came up to persuade Xia Luo: "This little girl, even if you are from the kingdom, here, you openly express your dissatisfaction with the lord, that can There will be trouble. Let's stop quickly and go back while there is no one here.

Xia Luo: "What, I'm telling the truth. My mother always teaches me to be honest, and I don't hear it all from you."

The people of Isibaldi don't know how to answer this question.

Xia Luo: "In a word, I have completely heard that your lord is really a big bad guy. He always secretly orders those officials to constantly squeeze you. If you are a little dissatisfied or something, they all send soldiers to arrest people, which makes you so afraid that you dare not talk about any more bad lords. That's it. And the most hateful thing is that this lord not only loves face, talks about grand appearance, but also protects the entrance and exit, and then wears a mask that loves the people all day long. In fact, it is to satisfy your vanity, and then asks you to do it like this every time. It's very happy to do that. I like his appearance, so this lord is really a very bad person.

Thomas quickly came down and whispered, "Hey, won't you go too far?"

Charlotte ignored Thomas and continued to say all kinds of bad things about Thomas.

The people of Yixiubar below also persuaded: "This little girl, can't you say these things so directly?"

Xia Luo: "Ah ha, you also admitted it, didn't you?"

The people of Ishbar shook their heads helplessly: "It's true. Every time the lord comes out, we have to pretend to be very loving, otherwise, we will be implicated. Moreover, the High Priest Haka has also done his best for us, as long as we don't provoke the lord. Then, ours will not be threatened. Fortunately, the lord rarely comes out. On weekdays, as long as we listen to the words of the high priest Haka and pretend to cooperate a little, then we will be fine.

Xia Luo: "Why are you so afraid of things? Didn't you say that you are the most honorable? Why don't you stand up and drive the bad lord away?

The people of Ishbar explained one after another: "Today, our former holy capital has been like this for more than 20 years. We have lived here for so many years and got along with the people of your kingdom. Although we have been treated unfairly, in fact, we have to live a hard life with our ancestors in the outland. It's much better, and we are used to bathing the twilight of the Holy Peak closer here. As for wanting to resist and drive away the lord here, we dare not think about it. What's more, now the legion of the kingdom is stationed outside the city, and there is no way for the army of compatriots in the outer world to attack in. Therefore, we can only continue the status quo like this.

For more than 20 years, such a time is enough to make the new generation of the Ishibars, who have been enslaved by people with ulterior motives such as the High Priest Haka, grow up. No wonder Saladin will be disappointed with the Eshubars in the city of the holy capital Alama.

Xia Luo whispered to herself, "It's okay if you don't make trouble or fight, otherwise your father won't have time to accompany me."

"What did you say?"

Xia Luo: "Ah, no, it's nothing. Well, don't talk about it. Anyway, the bad thing about the bad lord has spread all over the city. Even if I don't say it, it's something that everyone knows. This kind of thing is really boring. I left."

Xia Luo achieved her goal, pulled Thomas and hurriedly left the crowd.

"Hee, now, you finally understand the truth. What? Xia Luo saw it. Since then, Thomas has been bowing his head and silent.

Xia Luo: "Ah, you just said that no matter how Yang wants to know the truth, why has it become like this now?"

Thomas: "How do you know?"

Xia Luo: "Do you still need to know? Even every soldier in my father's army knows this kind of thing. If I want to hear about it, what's the difficulty?

The Red Dragon Heavy Regiment has been stationed in the Holy Capital of Alma for more than a year. Of course, interesting things about the city have also spread throughout the barracks.

Thomas said regretfully, "Really, it turns out that everyone knows, and I'm the only one who has been put in the dark..."

Xia Luo: "So, it's all you. You always listen to your two adults all day long. As a result, they treat you as dolls and play with them at will. This is also your own fault." Xia Luo was straightforward and didn't seem to see Thomas's expression at this moment.

Thomas then turned around and walked elsewhere alone.

Xia Luo: "Hey, hey, I haven't taken you to see it yet, and other places are the same."

Thomas did not respond and continued to leave.

Xia Luo turned her head and lost her temper: "Ah, if you don't pay attention to my words, I won't pay attention to you... Hey... Hey, why don't you talk? Huh? Ah!"

What about Thomas? Disappeared. Xia Luo was capricious just now and didn't notice that Thomas had walked to that side in the end. Now that she catches up, Xia Luo can no longer find Thomas.

Xia Luo seemed to feel that she had caused a big accident: "Ah, the lord is missing, and he was brought out by me. Is this a disaster..."
