Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"Stop arguing..."

Lu Ming slumped on the ground powerlessly. The two people in front of her should have had a very good relationship in the past, but now, they were in prison, constantly insulting and accusing each other, as if they had some blood feud.

"Lady Alice..."

Paulina was also looking at Lu Ming with great concern at this time. She could feel that Lu Ming was very sad. If she had not been blocked by the iron railings, Paulina would have gone forward to hug Lu Ming and comforted her not to be sad.

"Aren't we all companions? Shouldn't we work together to find a way to escape now? But why are you blaming each other? Now is the time for us to cooperate..."

Lu Ming looked at the two of them, hoping that she could convince them, but both sides scoffed at her words.

"Humph, our magic power is sealed now, how do you plan to escape? And those guys outside are not dead. Even if you really escape, can you beat Wildy and the others?"

"I……"

Lu Ming was speechless after hearing what Qia said. She also knew that they probably couldn't escape now, but she didn't want to see Qia and Rang quarreling all the time. Even though Qia had said those words to her before, she still had a glimmer of fantasy in her heart, fantasizing that they were still close friends.

"We all had such a good relationship before, why are we quarreling like this now? Can't we just sit down and talk it out?"

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Qia and Rang made disdainful sounds at the same time. They looked at Lu Ming as if they were looking at a child who was inexperienced in the world.

"I've just told you everything, but you still don't understand? I can finally get rid of this guy, why should I die with him?"

"Stop talking nonsense here, you stinking bitch. What's so great about a traitor like you? Even if you can escape the death penalty, the president and his men will definitely come to take your life later! Then, I'll be waiting for you downstairs with Alice!"

After he finished speaking, he found that Qia was not angry at his words. Instead, she looked at him with an intriguing smile.

"You...what do you mean?"

"Do you think Alice will die with you? Don't be ridiculous, don't you know? She has a sister who has connections here. Not only can she be spared from death, but she may even be exempted from other punishments."

"Wha… is this true?"

Hearing this, Rang could no longer sit still. He turned to ask Lu Ming, but the latter remained silent.

"Alice! Didn't you say you had no family? If the president hadn't been so kind as to take you in, you would have died in the forest. And we were so kind to you, but you kept this from us?"

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't say a word, Ran believed what Qia said, and he started cursing at Lu Ming again.

"Could it be that... you were an undercover agent planted among us from the very beginning? No wonder..."

"No! I am truly loyal to the president and the monastic order with all my heart. I absolutely do not have any other intentions!"

Seeing that Rang began to suspect that she was a traitor, Lu Ming hurriedly began to explain that she had never thought of meeting Lu Ren, nor had she thought of having anything to do with Lu Ren in this matter. She had long regarded the monastery as her home in this world, and until now, she had never thought of being a traitor.

"Then what about your sister? You can't die anyway, so you can just sit there and talk without any pain in your waist. The people in the monastery are so good to you, are you worthy of them?"

"I……"

Facing Rang's accusation, Lu Ming's face turned red, but she couldn't find anything to refute and could only stare at Rang.

"I forbid you to say that about Lady Alice. She has always been thinking about the Priory. Besides, aren't you using Lady Alice as bait and thinking about escaping?"

Paulina couldn't stand it anymore. Rang actually dared to scold her favorite Alice, which made her very angry. She started to scold Rang on behalf of Lu Ming.

"Shut up, you bastard! Do you have the right to speak here? You are just one of Alice's followers, don't show off here."

"You are! I've been annoyed with you for a long time! What else can you do besides putting all the blame on others?"

Seeing that Jean and Paulina started arguing again, Lu Ming hurriedly asked them to calm down. The noise of the quarrel seemed like some kind of magical erosion, making her feel dizzy and her vision blurred.

"Stop arguing..."

"Lady Alice? Are you okay?"

Seeing Lu Ming leaning against the wall with his head in his hands, Paulina hurriedly expressed her concern. But at this time, Chia, who had been silent for a while, began to speak again:

"By the way, you don't know yet? You don't know why we were sentenced to death."

"Because... because we are members of the Priory? Because the Priory killed people...?"

Hearing Qia's question, Lu Ming hesitated for a while and said that she did hear Wildi say that someone had to kill someone, but she was not very clear about the actual situation.

"I can't say it's wrong, but you still know too little, my little princess."

"..."

Lu Ming didn't care about Qia's ridicule. She looked at Qia silently, wanting to know the things that Qia said that she didn't know.

"Have you never doubted where the funds for your activities come from?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Lu Ming immediately had a bad feeling. The funds for her activities were all given to her by Ran and Qia. Lu Ming had also thought about the source, but she had never believed that the money came from an illegal source.

"Have you heard about the serial murders that have been making the rounds in the city recently? Several wealthy farmers in the northern part of Xidao City were wiped out, and all their property was looted."

"So... that was what you did?"

Lu Ming swallowed absentmindedly. She had not been in the city for some time, but she had heard some rumors about this. However, she did not expect that the murderer would be her most trusted companion.

"You...why are you doing this..."

"Are you stupid? If we don't do this, where can we get money for you? And how can you live so comfortably?"

"I……"

Lu Ming felt sick when he thought that the money he spent was stained with blood. The monastery where everyone used to live in harmony has changed. It has become dangerous and unfamiliar. No wonder Wildi and others tried so hard to wipe out the monastery. It turned out that all this was the monastery's own fault.

"Woo..."

Lu Ming was sitting in the corner, shaking all over, tears and sweat running down her face, soaking her clothes. The feeling of nausea kept coming from her body, and Lu Ming covered her mouth again, fearing that she would vomit.

"Lady Alice...it doesn't matter. I will stay with you no matter what!"

Seeing Lu Ming's pitiful appearance, Paulina still comforted him, saying that no matter what happened, she would stand by Lu Ming's side, and this would never change. Even if the hermit order really perished, she would continue to live with Lu Ming.

At this moment, the door of the dungeon was opened, and a petite girl walked in with two other girls, and then stopped in front of Lu Ming's cell.
