Almost at the same moment, Su, who had reached the middle of the stream, turned around.
His dark eyes were shining fiercely, and his chapped and flaky lips were slowly opening and closing. It was obvious that he was preparing a magic, and dark flames were even burning around him!
But at that moment, just when I thought his magic was about to succeed again, a dark sharp arrow suddenly flew over from among the trees!
It was obvious that this arrow was extremely powerful. It flew straight towards Su with the whistling sound of the wind, and accurately hit his forehead. Then, it penetrated his head and flew away from the back of his head. Entering the jungle at the other end of the stream, it brought out blood flowers like a rainstorm!
The boy barely had time to scream out before he fell into the stream with a splash.
His blood was so bright that it dyed the whole river red.
It took a long time to talk about these things, but they only happened in a second or two. Until then, I stared, covered my mouth, and suppressed the exclamation.
Martin seemed to be frightened too. He immediately raised his hands high and struggled to utter the words from his trembling lips, "I...I was coerced!"
*
Martin and I were brought back to Lordaeron by the patrol soldiers in disguise. Also brought back was Su's body. His eyes were still wide open, but he was no longer alive at all. As for Gail, the knights didn't care at all. Her body must have drifted away along the stream.

The torture chamber in the Lordaeron City Defense Prison is darker than any room I have ever seen. This darkness is not only because it has no windows, nor is it only due to the damp and musty smell emanating from the four gray walls. , is the smell of blood and death flowing in the air.
I could clearly see the dark purple stains on the knives and iron whips hanging on the wall that had not yet been wiped clean. We can see the unabashed cruelty and eagerness in the eyes of the soldiers standing around us. We can see Jupiter sitting directly in front of us with his chin propped up, as if thinking about how to let us have a good drink.
If there was anything, there was a shrill scream coming from behind the door that seemed to be impervious to the wind. Those things made me suddenly extremely nervous.

Support--
At that moment, the door to the inner room opened, and a wave of pure white holy light leaked out, along with a burly knight.
His lips were tightly pursed and he was unsmiling. Even though his hair was gray, his eyes were still bright, giving people a great sense of oppression.
"Father." Upon seeing him, Jupiter immediately stood up respectfully.
Father?
I stared at the knight's stern and hard face, and suddenly remembered what Nessa had told me.
It is said that Jupiter and Mrs. Barov had an incredible father, the white-robed knight Quinta Julius. No wonder he killed Su with one arrow!
"Unexpectedly, my arrow completely shattered his soul, and not even a soul fragment was left in that corpse," he said with some regret, "We can't read anything useful from his mind. Sorry, my son, my mistake cost us an important clue."
"It doesn't matter, father, we still have his accomplices." As he said that, he looked at Martin and I who were tied to the wooden chairs. I don't know why, but I felt that Jupiter seemed to smile. "They're still alive!"
"I'm not his accomplice!" I almost shouted.
"Oh! I'm not a dark wizard!" The half-elf's horrified cry was louder than mine, "Master! I was coerced! I am Mrs. Hassan's envoy! This little... lady is a noble , she must have been coerced!"
"Oh! Mr. Caprio, I know that you were once the envoy of the noble Mrs. Hassan," Jupiter smiled contemptuously, "Don't deny it in a hurry, we will all find out!"
That sentence made the white-robed knight nodded, picked up the helmet on the table and walked towards the thin door, "A messenger, a noble lady, Jupiter, you must find out. Never cover up, never Not condoning.”
"Never cover up, never condone."
