Chapter 689: The Captive

The black-robed priest said coldly, "Can't you tell me......?"

"Wait a minute!" I said, "Dressed in black, are you in the court accustomed to imposing charges on people without allowing others to defend themselves? If that's the case, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and light the fire, Lao Tzu is very cold now." ”

A cold light flickered in the black-robed priest's eyes: "You don't need to defend yourself, when you kill the Holy Light Knights, you are destined to be sent to hell." Burning at the stake is your lightest punishment. ”

I couldn't help but take a deep breath and lean against the stake.

Mama Fox told me a long time ago, don't always try to persuade your opponent with a mouth. People who really want to kill you won't listen to you say a word.

The Holy See has already sentenced me to death, and all that is missing is the opportunity to kill me.

The black-robed priest walked to the knights with his hands behind his back: "May the light purify their souls!" ”

With Angelo waving his hand, a knight of the Holy Sword walked towards us with a torch.

"Look at me!" I roared, and the blood in my eyes suddenly burst out, and the knight who had opened his eyes to the demon screamed and fell to the ground, and I turned around and slashed at the stake that bound Ye Xun.

What I didn't expect was that although the wooden stakes behind Ye Xun were flying under the slash of Xingtian, they could not be broken on the spot, and Ye Xun was still firmly controlled on the stake.

Fooled!

As soon as horror surged in my heart, the black-robed priest laughed and said, "Betty, you are right, Wang Huan is indeed a spiritual warlock. You've done a pretty good job. ”

Angelo also applauded at this time: "Betty, you will always be my proudest student." ”

"Mr. Angelo has won the award. Betty gently shook off the chains on her body and jumped off the stake: "Wang Huan, I think it's time for you to officially travel as a prisoner." ”

When I squinted my eyes at Betty, the latter pointed to the armor on her body, "The power of the Holy Armament is far beyond your imagination. I wasn't in a coma in church. Everything you did fell into my eyes. ”

Betty said, of course, "For the sake of safety, the priest has decided to put you to the test. Now, you've cleared the level, and the Inquisition has allowed you to atone for your sins as a guide. ”

Betty's voice sank: "I must remind you that captives should have the attitude of captives, do you understand what I mean?"

I looked at Betty coldly: "Give me my equipment!"

Betty shook a finger and said, "You've forgotten the attitude of a captive again." You plan that I can't return it, but I can give you some other equipment. ”

Betty waved her hand slightly, and my eyes shrank suddenlyβ€”the paladin who came up from behind had three collarbone hooks in his hands.

Betty smiled: "The clavicle hook is a torture instrument from the East, I think you should have heard of his name, right? From this torture device, you can not only see the wisdom of the Orientals, but also see their cruelty." I don't know if God will redeem the soul of the inventor of the torture instrument. However, I am sure that bringing such torture instruments will reduce your guilt. ”

My face couldn't help but be gloomy like water. The pipa clavicle hook was a torture tool used by the Jinyi Wei in the Ming Dynasty to deal with felons.

What exactly it is and how it should be punished are not the same. However, one thing is certain, the clavicle hook must penetrate the crack of the human bone in order to be effective, and an experienced jailer will only inflict minor injuries on the prisoner, and replacing it with a raw hand may leave a person disabled for life.

Betty raised the collarbone hook that looked like an eagle's claws, but only one front and one back, and the tips of three claws, and said, "Don't worry, I will be very careful!"

As soon as I wanted to speak, I was stopped by Ye Xun with his eyes, Ye Xun meant: This is a loss in front of us, we have already made up our minds, instead of doing a senseless struggle, it is better to leave some strength to take revenge.

Betty didn't see me and Ye Xun make eye contact, raised a clavicle hook and pressed it on Ye Xun's shoulder, pulled the back mechanism, and the two sharp claws of the clavicle hook pierced into Ye Xun's shoulder well at the same time, and the blood immediately soaked Ye Xun's clothes, but the latter didn't even look at his wound.

On the contrary, Angelo's eyes shrank sharply when he looked at Ye Xun.

Betty threw the chain behind the clavicle hook to an Inquisition priest: "Watch him closely, he's not honest, you just have to pull the chain." ”

I can see that the clavicle hook is only hurting Ye Xun's flesh and skin now, if the other party's engine is turned off, it will hurt Ye Xun's muscles and bones, even if I can snatch Ye Xun back, his arms can't be saved.

I couldn't help but feel a little colder in my eyes when I looked at Betty, but the other party turned a blind eye to my killing intent, and walked towards Ren Tianqing again: "You are a brave girl, right? Can you bring your own torture equipment? After all, the pride of the paladin does not allow me to torture a girl who has no ability to resist." ”

"Hypocrisy!" Ren Tianqing grabbed the collarbone and pressed it to her shoulder, until the blood burst out of his shoulder, and she looked at Betty coldly.

"You're braver than I thought!" Betty nodded slightly, "Wang Huan, what should you do now?"

I suppressed my anger and said, "Judging from our experiences along the way, it was not an accident that we entered Ghost Island. It was some kind of guidance that led me to this ghost island. ”

Angelo and the black-robed priest glanced at each other before they walked over together: "You say be more detailed. ”

I continued: "I was put into the cabin of a smuggling boat and never came out, but three times when I was standing next to the coffin, I felt it shake. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Now you write the time when you encounter the fog, and I write the time when the coffin shakes." Let's compare. ”

Angelo nodded slightly, Betty and I each turned around and wrote the time we had in the palm of our hands with a pen, and when we spread out our palms, Angelo and the black-robed priest gasped at the same time.

I withdrew my palm and said, "It seems that my judgment is correct, there is some kind of force that pulls the coffin into Ghost Island. ”

Betty asked rhetorically, "Are you sure the demon in the coffin is dead?"

"Sure!" I nodded, "If the demon is still alive, it will be much easier for him to do it at sea than it is to lure us to land." ”

Betty's face changed, she knew, I was right, the Holy Knights are good at land warfare, if the demon does something in the sea, it only needs to sink our ship, and it will be able to escape, or even wipe us out. Why bother to lead us to this island?

Angelo said with a gloomy face: "You go on, what else have you discovered?"

I continued: "After we went to the island, the corpse of the demon hidden in the coffin was constantly being pulled by some kind of force, going in a certain direction, as Betty can testify. ”

Betty nodded before I continued, "However, in the process of tracking down the coffin, I found that there was still a force that was restricting the coffin's movements, and was even preparing to freeze him. Betty also saw this with her own eyes. ”

Betty repeated the events in the church again. Angelo's expression also became more and more solemn.

I said again, "So, I came to the conclusion that the so-called Ghost Island is actually a forbidden place. There's another demon banned here. ”

"On the periphery of Ghost Island, there is something similar to a magic circle, which can disrupt the sight of passing ships and prevent people from discovering the existence of Ghost Island. Inside, there is something akin to a Guardian that prevents them from escaping demons. ”

"That's why after we broke into Ghost Island, people kept freezing to death and being frozen, because the guardians here regarded us as accomplices of the demons. ”

"Nonsense!" The black-robed priest was the first to roar angrily: "The Holy See's faith is bright, and it is completely different from the demon's aura, how can they treat us as accomplices of the demon, you ......"

I looked at the other party coldly and said, "Before I finish speaking, please keep your mouth shut." ”

Angelo gave the other party a calm gesture before I continued: "So, I came to a second judgment, the island guard is not very intelligent, that is, he can only tell whether someone has stepped into his territory or not, and will not tell whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. ”

I said in a deep voice, "The destruction of the Knights of the Holy Flame is the best proof of this. ”

The black-robed priest said coldly, "How do you prove that those who died on the island were not killed by demons?"

"Are you a fool?" I couldn't bear it: "If you're rebutting specifically for the sake of rebuttal, please keep your mouth shut." I don't have time or need to explain anything to you?"

The black-robed priest was so angry with me that Betty had to explain for me, "If it was the devil on the island who killed someone." It proves that he already has the power to kill us all, and there is no need to hide himself anymore. ”

Only then did the black-robed priest keep his mouth shut.

Angelo said: "Wang Huan, according to your judgment, why did the demon on the island pull that coffin?"

I thought for a moment before saying, "There are only two possibilities, the first possibility is that the island is only forbidden to the demon's soul, and he needs a shell of the same kind as a carrier. ”

"Another possibility is that there is a living demon on the island. However, his strength is almost exhausted, and he needs to devour the corpses of his companions to regain his strength. ”

After I finished speaking, I looked at Angelo and said, "Whatever the case is, it is not wonderful for us, once the demon body falls into the hands of the other party, our end will come." ”

The black-robed priest said in a trembling voice, "Captain Angelo, can your knights slaughter a demon?"

Angelo shook his head and said, "I don't know, after all, my knights have no real experience fighting demons. Even if we want to slay the demon, it depends on how strong he is?"

I sneered, "You can't afford to mess with that demon!"
