Loras seemed to be very interested in my so-called soul seal. He used his hook-like fingers to clasp my shoulders tightly, like torture to extract a confession, and used pain to force me to answer all his questions. In the end, I They all felt angry and powerless, and almost wanted to cry.
"Lea, do you want to go to the Icewing Cave?" At the end, he suddenly asked, "I dare say that apart from us, not many people know its location. Of course, those old hunters who often go deep into the mountains and forests may have heard about it. "
To be honest, besides being frightened, what he said made me a little confused.
You see, doesn't he not want to remember my mother at all? Why are you so... eager to let me know something about her now?
"What? You're not going?" Seeing that I didn't answer immediately, he became a little impatient again. His sharp nails penetrated the fabric on my shoulders and scratched my skin.
"Hiss--" I flinched.
He raised his eyebrows and relaxed a little.
I twisted my shoulders, but still couldn't escape from his grasp. I had to grit my teeth and speak quickly, "I mean, I am locked up here, and you are locked up with iron ropes." As I said that, I was careful. He touched the cold and heavy thing on his wrist, and his tone became more cautious, "This thing must have some kind of magic, right? Otherwise, it will not be able to lock you."
"You're quite knowledgeable!" This was the first time this Haval praised me without hesitation. He took his hand away, shook his arm, and made a harsh sound of metal collision. "This is the magic-breaking gold, which is made of The magic needle is something that can absorb and block the surrounding magic."
"...But, I once read in a book that you are... uh, a very powerful assassin. They call you the Shadow Blade."
"Oh! That's right! I am an assassin born in the shadows." He smiled triumphantly, and his purple eyes glanced at the iron rope that was almost as thick as his arm, "My blade It carries my life, but they, those bastards took away my knife."
"But, what does this have to do with breaking the magic chain?" I asked in confusion, and then suddenly realized, "Wait, your knife?"
"That's right," he looked at me with bright eyes, "my magic is my blade. It can stretch out from my fingertips at my will and inadvertently give others a fatal blow." Turning his head, He looked at the other end of the dark dungeon. Based on my memory, I guessed that there should be the cell door. "My blade is extremely sharp. I swear to the Lord of Darkness, if I escape from the chain, I will definitely cut it open." Let them look at this damn wall." He said the last few words through gritted teeth.
The violent coercion circled and roared around him again. I couldn't help but hold my breath, and the hair on my hair stood on end.
I admit, this Harvard is terrifying.
I saw, in the darkness, those radiant eyes turned back to my face, the danger clearly revealed, "If you help me, I will take you to the Icewing Cave, how about it? Rhea?"
oh! It turns out this is what he wanted to say!
Under his knife-like gaze, I quickly moved back a few steps, just in time to avoid the palm he extended again.
call--
His hand flicked over the tip of my nose, bringing out a gust of moist and hot wind. At that moment, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"how?"
"...I don't think I can break your chains! Loras! I don't know how to do this!"
Even though I was frightened and panicked, my head was still very clear. If I opened his chain, maybe I would have to take his place!
You see, he is locked at the bottom of the cell with a demon-breaking chain. He must be a famous murderer on the list! Maybe I can be merciful to him, but will the laws of Lordaeron be merciful to me? !
Besides, who knows, Jupiter is watching me in the dark. If I take a step too far, he will definitely make me walk around in pain!
That bad-tempered but Harvard narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became fierce and sharp.
I have to say that his gaze was intimidating, and I couldn't help but move back again in fear. This time, until the light of his eyes completely blended into the surrounding darkness, I could no longer see him.
"You will definitely change your mind, Rhea." After a long while, he laughed from the dark side and said confidently, "After all, I know your mother."
Those words made my heart beat loudly, but I suppressed the heart palpitations.
*
Darkness is such a nasty thing, it can easily make people frightened, to the point of despair.
Martin really didn't come back, and Loras didn't try to coax me into untying him.
In that disturbing darkness, no one knew what the once-feared assassin was thinking. However, the occasional sneer from him made the back of my head feel cold.
The coldness with the stench and dampness slowly spread to my limbs and bones, and slowly penetrated my heart.
*
When our iron door was pushed open for the seventh time, I was brought to a place of light again.
It was still Shaman who carried me out. Under the dim but extremely dazzling firelight, I squinted my eyes and glared at the scar on his face fiercely.
"Don't be so angry, miss." He said with a smile, his hot breath rushing past my ears, "Maybe you will cry excitedly soon."
I couldn't help but be stunned.
*
I didn't expect that this time, in addition to Jupiter with a sinister look on his face, there was also Prince Alsace sitting at the solid wood table with frowning eyebrows.
Moreover, in the open inner room, outside the khaki silent nodule, I also saw Dallion!
When he saw me walking in, he jumped up from his chair. He seemed to be calling my name urgently, but the barrier perfectly blocked the sound on the other side. If someone hadn't grabbed his arm hard, He must be coming!
Holy light is on! I must be saved! right? !
At that moment, I just felt my nose was sore. If not for Shaman pressing my shoulders tightly, I would have rushed over!
"What did I say? Miss?" the damn soldier whispered in my ear, with sincere teasing in his tone. But before I could glare at him again, he had already pushed me hard into the solid wood chair, "But now, you have to accept the trial." At the end, he leaned over and whispered in my ear quickly, "You have to accept the trial." Be smart."
That sentence made me stunned again.
*
The torture chamber fell into a dead silence.
"I think you need to explain this matter to me." Unexpectedly, Prince Alsace spoke, and I could hear a bit of sullenness in his deep voice. He gently pressed my Sword of Lordaeron medal on the solid wood table, his green eyes staring straight at Jupiter standing next to him, "You must know that the Sword of Lordaeron is only awarded to Heroes of Lordaeron, but why are our heroes locked in such a dark dungeon? As a prisoner?"
"Replying to Your Highness," Jupiter glanced at me fiercely, and then bowed to the prince, "This young lady stayed with a dark wizard, and all of us witnessed it with our own eyes. As for this medal, I didn't know if she actually 'owned' it, so I didn't report it in a timely manner."
Arthas frowned, then nodded the cold medal, "Then, let's clear our hero's name, Lord Julius."
Jupiter bowed again and squinted at me with his dark eyes, "Everything else is clear. Now, I just want to know one thing. Dear...Miss Rubio, do you know what you are doing?" What does that mark mean?"
That sentence made me subconsciously look at my right hand. On the back of my hand, the mark burned by the shadow fire was still clear, "I said that I was once threatened by a dark wizard and I must take him out of the city, otherwise he will use Magic is killing me! You can let..."
"This mark means death?" Jupiter interjected coldly before I could finish.
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, raised my head, and stared straight into his gray eyes, "...Yes!"
If I read it correctly, Jupiter seemed to smile. He waved to the soldiers behind him and whispered something. Then the soldiers quickly ran to the inner room. Within half a minute, he came back with half a piece in his hand. Blackened child’s arms!
Jupiter stretched out his armor-covered hand, held the arm, and carefully placed it in front of Alsace. At that moment, I clearly saw the disgust and disgust in the prince's eyes. However, I must say, this The prince's self-cultivation is extremely good, and those expressions only fleetingly disappear.
"Lord Julius?" He glanced at Jupiter suspiciously.
"When you return to Your Highness, please take a closer look. This is the hand of the dark wizard who 'kidnapped' Miss Rubio. Does he also have such a mark on his arm?"
Obviously, those words made Alsace stunned for a moment. After a pause, he stretched out his fingers covered with black leather gloves and fiddled with the dark arm. At that moment, I saw him twisting his arms. His brows knitted tighter.
The alarm bells in my heart rang loudly, and I almost shouted anxiously, "That's just a mark! It was used by the dark wizard to threaten me! I can't be with the dark wizard! I don't have it at all... No, I just I’ve seen that kid once or twice! Father John can testify! Dallion can testify too!”
"Don't be so anxious, Miss." Jupiter tilted his lips, sneered, turned his head, and bowed to the silent Alsace again, "Your Highness, the mark on Miss Rubio's arm is the same as the mark on this black man's arm. The wizard's are exactly the same, whether it's the magic patterns, magic nodes, or the way the magic explodes."
Alsace pursed his lips, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "...Really?"
"What I said to you is absolutely true. But..."
"……but?"
Jupiter twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his gray eyes slightly, "However, the mark of the dark wizard was carved with the power of the soul. It seemed to be a binding soul contract, that is, he could emerge from the darkness. Obtain some kind of power from evil, and after death, the soul will become the bait of that terrible existence, and this mark cannot be erased for life. However, the one on Miss Rubio's hand seems to be engraved with magical energy, and it will change accordingly. It gradually disappears as time goes by. Perhaps, Miss Rubio’s remarks are not false.”
Those words made my heart pound. What did this Jupiter mean? Would he be so kind as to absolve me? !
After a moment of dead silence, only Jupiter continued to say, "We also saw this kind of mark on the shoulder blade of Master Gunther who was guarding the Cheshui Lake. And, according to the memory of the search, he was forced to The demons of the Burning Legion drew a spreading circle that destroyed his own homeworld."
I saw Alsace's fists clenched slightly, "His sins are serious and he deserves to die."
"Your Highness, that kind of mark not only threatens people's lives, but also implies that the recipient will submit."
"……Is it?"
"Magic doesn't lie, Your Highness. I think the great mage might be able to re-sentence him."
What? !
To be honest, I was a little confused by everything I saw.
Jupiter not only absolved me, but also spoke for Gunther. What did he think? !
However, it seemed that Alsace's expression turned even worse, and fire almost burst out of his deep-set green eyes.
What on earth is he angry about?
I only heard Jupiter continue to speak, "We have investigated that Gunther Arcannus has always been a polite, kind and gentle young man. He should have a better future. Moreover, his father is a A hero who sacrificed his life in the orc war. I think, Your Highness, you should give Gunther a chance so as not to chill the hearts of the heroes."
Arthas must have laughed angrily. He gritted his teeth, but still nodded, "...I think you are right, Lord Julius."
"Then, maybe there is another person who needs to be re-sentenced, because we also found the same mark on his body." Jupiter also smiled. He looked directly into Alsace's eyes without even retreating at all. "Faith Barov."
What? !
