Wow!
The cold water splashed on the man's face, and he woke up instantly, his eyes widening.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The man kept struggling for breath. He tried to move his body, but found that his whole body ached and his limbs were fixed to the rack.
Unable to move was his state.
The masked man in front of him placed the basin on the ground and leaned to the side with his arms folded.
She was still dressed in the same outfit, with a cloak covering herself, and only her green pupils were exposed, looking at him, which was very scary.
He still clearly remembered that all his brothers were defeated by her agile and vigorous skills.
"Are you awake? Let's talk when you wake up."
The man looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
This was a dark and damp basement. Soon, he saw the woman sitting on the chair through the sound.
The other party was playing with his nails, and the table was filled with torture instruments that could not pass the trial.
In a blur, he saw a very strange-shaped glove on the woman's hand, with several gems inlaid on it, and he couldn't count them all.
"There is a saying that goes well: He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"I think the various instruments of torture now will be able to pry open your mouth."
Cold sweat instantly soaked the man's body. He swung his body in a panic, trying to escape from the restraints by struggling, but unfortunately, he couldn't move.
He quickly shouted: "I say! I say! I say everything!"
Snapped!
The masked man in front of him slapped him hard on the face.
"I haven't asked yet, what do you want to say?"
Liya played with the vise in her hand, looked at him, and laughed.
This crisp slap knocked the hazy man awake, and at the same time, anger took over his reason.
"Do you know what you are doing!"
"Kidnapping! Lynching! You! You will be arrested!"
"So what? When you die like a wild dog on the roadside, will anyone care who killed you?"
Liya stood up, her eyes cold, as if she had done this countless times.
The man struggled desperately again.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare you do this, why do you do it!?"
Liya looked at him as if he were a fool: "Because I have money."
man:"……"
One sentence immediately silenced him.
"If you have money, you will be great? If you have money, you can..."
"My brother is Victor. He is a noble and a third-level mage."
man:"……"
He stopped talking.
Liya picked up the iron pliers and knocked on the table, then continued: "Now that you know that it is our Cravenna family that you are offending, you should have already made up your mind."
"Tell me, who instigated it."
"Duke, it was the Duke who asked us to do it!"
He still did not change his previous confession, and it seemed that in order to make Liya believe him, he took the initiative to give an address.
"That's our stronghold, you can go there, you can go there and look for it!"
"The Duke gave us a large sum of money and asked us to smash your shop today! I'm not lying, you have to believe me!"
Seeing the man's hysteria, the masked man approached Liya and lowered his voice.
"He also said this before. Could it really be the Duke who did it?"
Liya clicked her tongue, as if she didn't care.
"A clumsy way to frame the blame."
"If you hadn't said that, maybe I would still have doubts about the Duke, but you insisted on confirming it, which made his suspicions less severe."
The man was stunned for a moment, and for just such a brief moment, Liya noticed him on the spot.
Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing again.
Her charming laughter gradually died down, she held her belly, raised her charming eyes, and said with a smile.
"Do you really believe it? I lied to you."
"But judging from your reaction, it seems that it was really not the Duke who did it. I wonder how a Duke could use such despicable means."
The man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Liya just waved her hand.
"Okay, deal with him, Leon."
"Don't forget to dismantle his body parts and sell them for some money. Oh, by the way, there are also his accomplices. Dispose of them all and leave no one behind."
Liya patted the man's face and smiled like a devil.
The man's body was shaking constantly. He struggled in fear and wanted to say something.
But the next second, Liya flipped her palm gently, and a bottle of potion appeared in her hand.
The azure potion swayed with a dazzling luster under the light.
"It's a pity that even if all your organs are sold, your value will not be comparable to one of my products."
She looked at him with a smile, and the potion swayed back and forth in front of his eyes.
"Of course, this thing worth a thousand euros is the same as yours in my eyes."
"Worthless."
Snapped!
The next second, the medicine bottle hit his face and broke into pieces.
He only felt a lot of liquid flowing down his numb face.
The red and blue potions were intertwined, making it impossible to tell whether the blood or the potion was flowing.
"Madman... you are a madman! Let me go, let me go!"
The man's voice trembled and his eyes widened.
Under the dual mental and physical torture, he had already changed beyond recognition.
Liya couldn't help but smile again when she saw the look on his face.
A beautiful smile, but it penetrates people's hearts like a devil.
In the man's bloodshot eyes, she yawned, turned around and said lightly:
"Solve it early."
"yes."
.......
After about a few hours, Leon took care of everything.
She sneaked into Victor's study through the window. Now that Victor was not here, Liya was sitting at the desk, handling the recent accounts.
There was no one else in the room, so Leon took off his hood, revealing short pale blond hair and long pointed ears.
Just her unusual ears can already prove her identity.
Elf.
"Miss, it's all taken care of."
Liya didn't even raise her head, but she already knew who was coming and smiled.
"Thanks a lot."
"My pleasure, Miss Leah."
Leon continued: "I collected a lot of money from those people and went to their strongholds to plunder them. These people recently received a large sum of money, about five thousand Geo."
Liya took the money bag handed over by Leon, weighed it and put it aside.
"The number is really quite large. That person didn't lie."
Leon raised his head and couldn't help but ask:
"Is it really not the Duke's order?"
Liya paused her hands and couldn't help laughing. She closed the account book and looked at her with a smile:
"You believe it too?"
"What?"
She said with a smile: "Even if the Duke's suspicion is reduced to the minimum, it does not mean that he has been cleared of suspicion."
"We have only added a new direction of suspicion, but the fact that the Duke still hates us has not changed."
"Perhaps someone is causing trouble and deliberately provoking conflicts between Cravenna and the Duke, and the people behind will benefit from it."
"Or maybe the Duke is simply unhappy with us. After all, there is no need for a king to have two youngest third-level mages."
Leon didn't understand the calculations between these nobles, so he paused and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Why didn't you continue to interrogate him?"
"He won't say it because he doesn't know who the instigator is."
Liya flicked the money bag with her hand, and there was a clanking sound from inside.
"The use of money to trade is enough to show that the other party is not an important member, so he can only insist that the Duke did it."
Liya said again:
"Why do you think the Duke's daughter came back to Dongcheng District? And she happened to meet the gang of shop-breakers?"
"Finally, you want to spend a lot of money to compensate us for the broken potion?"
Leon frowned when she heard what she said. She heard that Erica spent tens of thousands of gios just for compensation, but she still found it a bit strange.
Can a person be so kind?
"I can't believe what she said."
Liya spread her hands and said helplessly.
"I have lived with Victor for more than ten years. I am very familiar with what kind of person he is."
"Although he has the talent to learn magic, it's still half a lifetime too early for him to teach. I'm afraid when I was in the academy, I relied on the speeches written by the teaching assistant, and he just gave a casual lecture in front of me."
"Erica actually said she was his student. What can Victor teach her?"
...
At the same time, Vega, who was far away in the town of Sancher, sneezed.
Victor glanced at him, could a crow still catch a cold?
But now he didn't have much time to care about the cold crow.
They arrived at a town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. The town was not big and they could only find one hotel here.
The knights don't have to worry too much about where they live. They can even sleep at the inn overnight with their horses.
But Gwen is a woman, and she is also their respected knight captain, so the knights asked Gwen to spend one night in the hotel to recuperate.
In the same way, Victor is a mage.
He also needs a good sleeping environment to replenish his mental strength.
So the two had to go to the hotel together.
We originally agreed to have two rooms, but...
"Boss, is there really only one room left?"
Gwen looked a little anxious, which seemed a little funny to Victor.
This was the first time he saw such an unstable side of the other party.
At this time, she wished she could build a new house on the vacant land immediately.
The boss was also very helpless.
"Lord Knight, how dare I deceive you? There is really only one big bed room left."
"Besides, I see that the two men and women are together, they should be partners, so there is no problem in living in the same room."
Gwen anxiously wanted to say something more, but Victor on the side interrupted her in advance.
"Just this room, that's fine."
Hearing Victor's words, Gwen's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at him in disbelief.
