Ella was dragged across the river of blood outside the city, and her body was now covered in blood. After the Aztlan people left, the people in the cell did not dare to approach for a long time. It wasn't until Ella moaned in pain that a few brave people came closer. They noticed that all of Ella's ribs had been broken, nine of her ten fingernails were missing, and one of her nails was half broken. There was not a single piece of good skin all over her body. The mud and blood mixed together and formed spots on the clothes, which was very dazzling.
An old man sighed: "She probably won't survive tonight."
The people shook their heads, left a piece of ground for Ella in a corner of the cell, and covered her with a broken straw mat.
They didn't know that Ella had been penetrated through the heart by Yin Ben Xina's stone. The injuries at that time were much more serious than they are now. The contract with Drague gave Ella the monster-like body's self-healing ability. When the moon wandered in the sky, her body was constantly recovering. As long as someone lifts the straw mat, they can see that the wounds on the girl's skin are healing at an alarming speed. Blood spots are falling off Ella's skin like molting skin, and the broken nails are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. , and the ribs on the chest also quietly molded back to their original shape.
As the pain disappeared, Ella's mood gradually returned to calm. In the end, that despair was just a temporary emotional attack. When the moon set towards the horizon, reason gradually returned to her brain:
"We have to find a way to get out of trouble."
She was planning feasible plans in her mind: trying to communicate with Amy, finding an opportunity to escape secretly, or reaching an agreement with the other party... Because she was not fully awake yet, these thoughts were entangled with nightmares. In the nightmare, she was lying in a pool of blood, with her head cut off completely. The person holding her head was Chimal Popoka at first, and suddenly turned into Yin Ben Xina. If you look closely, you can see that it is strange again. Li Gaoli...
At sunrise, she opened the straw mat and wanted to clear her mind while she was awake. Unexpectedly, a commotion immediately broke out in the cell. People looked at Ella as if they were monsters, and her "body" remaining on the ground - which was a blood stain that fell off Ella's skin in one piece.
"I'm a human." Ella smiled bitterly, "This...maybe considered magic."
People were even more surprised when they realized that the girl standing in front of them was really a human being.
"We have never seen this kind of magic before," they said. "You must be a powerful magician. How come you were caught here?"
"My name is Alice Bedford."
In such a predicament, Ella felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to give her real name.
"I was attacked by them. But why were you captured here? Isn't Winchester a territory of England? Why is it now occupied by these Aztlan people? Where is Alfred?"
To get out of the current predicament, you must first know what happened in Winchester.
So someone sighed and replied:
"More than a month ago, this group of Aztlan people came to Winchester. They claimed to be merchants and came from a distant country. They wanted to see the Knight King. The Knight King received them in the morning. As a result, at noon that day, these people A group of Aztlans came to the square and announced that Winchester was under their control."
"They took advantage of the meeting to attack Alfred?"
Ella's heart trembled. A similar thing happened in Gotland. At that time, a group of Aztlan warriors came to the palace to meet her, face to face, and had a verbal dispute with her. If the person leading the team at that time was Chimalpopoka, she might also be in danger.
But thinking about it carefully, Ella felt that something was wrong. Gotland is her capital, and even if an elf like Chimalpopoka attacks and captures her, she will never be able to escape. And if the visitors were a group of warriors with magical powers, it would be impossible to enter the palace and meet her directly like that. This is true of Gotland, and of course it is true of Winchester, not to mention that Alfred's military strength is much higher than that of Ella.
"I was present at the time." Another person added, "There were three hundred people in this group of Aztlans, but only three came to the palace to see the King of Knights. At that time, we did not detect magic from them. They also brought the King of Knights with him Gifts, so everyone felt relieved. They brought three boxes, the first box contained gold, the second box contained feathers, but the third box contained three bloody hearts!"
Speaking of this, the man's body began to tremble, obviously frightened by the scene.
"The King of Knights questioned them, and they swallowed the three hearts in front of all of us... and then... and then..."
"Then they suddenly have magical powers?"
This scene seems familiar. That's why Ella let her guard down and was captured here.
"Yes...elven level, three elven levels! Not only them, but the three hundred Aztlan people waiting outside also suddenly have magic powers ranging from self-level to natural level! We are doing it in the palace They fought hard, but our arrows were sucked by their shields, and our knives could barely cut through their skin!" The man was shaking more and more violently, "We have never encountered such an elite troop, Wen Chester's standing army has 1,500 people, but it is no match for them. How can he summon soldiers from all over the country in time? The Knight King tried his best to restrain one of the elves, but he could not resist the other two elves. They took turns attacking and were finally defeated. I was so frightened that I hid under the chair and escaped!"
"You hid there? Then why are you here again?"
"They arrest a group of people every day as living sacrifices! And they lock us in the city and prohibit us from going out!" People shouted angrily, "We were afraid, so we joined forces with the remaining knights to resist them. I think Although their magic is powerful, after all, most of them are only at the self-level. As long as we have tens of thousands of people here, as long as we are not afraid, they will always be exhausted until their magic is exhausted. But who knows that the magic of this group of people is simply endless. Many people died, and we He was also arrested and imprisoned here!"
The cell door suddenly creaked. At that moment, the entire cell became silent. People lowered their heads and hid in corners, obviously frightened by the Aztlans. From the passage came the footsteps of several people and the voice of Chimalpopoka: "Tratoani, that woman is not a warrior at all. There is no need for us to treat her with the rituals of a warrior. And she has already He is seriously injured and cannot go to the duel field."
"Idiot. Only slaves can be sacrificed using slave rituals. She is the king of an army. In order to better please our gods, of course she must be sacrificed in the duel field!"
Ella shuddered—she didn't expect this group of people to arrive so quickly. She hasn't thought of a way to get out of trouble yet!
