29. The Silent Magician (Xiu)

"That kind of magic crystal is the target that the people behind the scenes want?"

Lance glanced down at the Sword of Thunder, the words of the Sword of Thunder could lead to a lot of meanings, leading to several guesses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter what the facts are, there is no doubt that the other party wants to get this magic crystal.

"Let's put this thing aside. ”

Roque suddenly stood up and asked, Radrick.

"The interrogation has come to an end, right?"

"Interrogation?"

"It's already a result, come with me, Lance too, come with me. ”

Redik then stood up and led them outside.

"Where are we going?"

Rederik obviously led them towards the gate, not knowing where they were going, without explaining or answering Lance's questions, and even his expression became solemn.

As Redik approached the gate, the loyal old butler of the Jepery family was already standing there, standing next to a carriage. The butler bowed his head respectfully, lifted the curtain of the carriage for them, waited for them to go up, greeted the coachman, and then asked the gatekeeper to open the gate, and the carriage turned around and drove out.

Lance didn't know where the carriage was going, and many things had not yet come to understand, but the two of them did not speak all the way, and it seemed that they could not inquire about anything for the time being.

Inside the carriage were two rows of seats facing each other, with Roque sitting in the middle on the left, next to the window, and Redrick sitting across from Roque, both of them looking contemplative, as if they were thinking about something. Lance could only sit in the corner of his father's side in embarrassment, because the view outside the window was blocked, Lance could only be quiet, looking down at the Thunder Sword beside him, thinking of Danica, he couldn't suppress his worry, and turned into a wordless wait.

On the way, the wind became stronger, and Redrick shifted his position. The wind-blown curtain fluttered towards Lance, who was sitting in the corner, and Lance caught the oncoming curtain, just in time to catch a glimpse of the carriage outside.

"It's ...... Out of town?"

Lance muttered in surprise as he saw the carriage drifting away from the city gates and heading south.

"Where are we going?"

The answer to this question was finally answered after twenty minutes, and the carriage stopped on a road about ten meters wide.

Lance followed them out of the carriage and looked at the place, there were no buildings in front of or behind, only a few asymmetrical trees sat on both sides of the road, and the sun stretched their shadows very long, and there was always a feeling of loneliness when looking at this scene.

Roque took out a round black stone and looked down at his steps, as if calculating how many steps he had taken. Suddenly, about somewhere, Roque stopped and placed the stone on the ground, and the next moment, Lance rubbed his eyes, as if he saw a light reflected ahead.

Roque made a gesture to open the door to the invisible front, and Redek, who was standing behind Roque, picked up the cobblestone on the ground and handed it back to Roque.

"Father...... is here?"

Lance stared suspiciously ahead, and as he spoke, the two suddenly disappeared from front of him. He stared ahead for two seconds, then took a step forward, and the scene in front of him changed from a vast expanse of ground to the interior of a building.

What greeted you was a corridor of earth-red mud walls and gray brick floors, and the wall sconces were old from ten years ago, with only a simple fingernail-sized bead of light on them, and the light was not particularly bright.

Lance observed for a few seconds and noticed some suspicious scratches on the wall, unknown to who had made them. And the overall structure of this building is very old, Lance guessed in his heart, it must be twenty years old, and the surrounding area does not look like it is cleaned, and it is dusty all the way.

They entered a room with a stone table in the corner with a candle on it, and on the other side was a locked wooden cabinet with scrolls, books, and keys scattered around. On the opposite side of the wooden cabinet, there is a pair of two-handed swords stuck in the wall, which do not look like simple decorations.

Lance suddenly understood what kind of place he had come, and he remembered a sentence he had heard before leaving, an interrogation or something......

"Lance, don't tell me about this place. ”

Father Redrick told Lance, "This is a secret interrogation point that only a few people know, we didn't see anything when we came, there are actually a lot of magic traps here to prevent the prisoners from escaping." ”

"What do you mean?"

“…… Looks like you're going to need a little more experience, and I don't want the next heir to the Jepery family to be someone who doesn't know anything. ”

"I'm not interested in politics for the time being. ”

Out of the room, Lance saw a wooden staircase going up, and when he stepped up the stairs to the second floor, he was waiting for them with an iron door with no handles or key sockets. Roque put his hand on the door and whispered something he couldn't hear clearly, and the iron door opened automatically.

Roque walked in first, followed by Redik, and finally Lance.

Inside the iron door was another corridor, and there was nothing in the corridor, only a few rooms facing each other, and entering a room in the middle on the left, Lance finally saw the man, who was bound by the chains on the wall, and could not move.

Hearing the footsteps of Lance and the others, there was no response.

The man, a magician, told Lance about what had happened during his absence.

Roque happened to return to Marlene on the day Lance left, and Rederick knew more about Master Swided's return than Lance, and immediately after Roque returned, he passed on the disappearance of Danica in the Magic Guild to Roque's ears word for word.

The place where Danica disappeared was the Magic Guild, so naturally it was found out from the Magic Guild.

"I've checked a few times, but I haven't found anything. Where is Danica now, hidden by this guy?"

Redrick patted him on the shoulder, shook his head, walked over to the magician, and spoke.

"You don't want to suffer any more, tell me everything you know, and I promise to let you go as soon as I do that. ”

The magician bowed his head and was silent, as if he hadn't heard.

“…… This guy. ”

Redrick frowned, and Lance came to the magician, half-crouched down, and looked at the other man's face.

"Hey, you took Danica. Since you're here, it must have something to do with it, hurry up, or we won't make you feel better. Lance pointed to himself, "Do you know who I am? My name is Lance Jepéry, the master of the Sword of Thunder, the dragon slayer knight of Karanslan, and I and the Sword of Thunder have a way of making your life ten thousand times more painful than being interrogated." If you remain silent, I swear to the gods of the four directions that I will tie you to the dragon and let the dragon's claws fall over you over and over again......"

Before the threatening words could be finished, Lance saw the effect, and the magician trembled, raised his head and moved the corners of his mouth.

"I ...... Everything that can be said has been said, it is really ...... I don't remember ......."

Roque looked down on Redik with suppressed anger.

"It's been three days, I've handed him over to you, and that's the result?"
