Chapter 172: Interrogation

I don't know how long it took, a basin of cold water was poured on Wuzhi's face, the cold stimulation made him wake up immediately, instinctively shook his head to shake off the water droplets, and his nose breathed the night air rapidly.

"Wake up, answer my question, don't interrupt during the period, do you hear clearly?"

Five Fingers slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly found himself sitting on a chair, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with a rag, unable to speak, his hands were tightly bound behind his back by ropes, and his body could not move.

"First question, who are you?" Ayton pulled out the ball of cloth from his mouth and looked at him with a blank face.

Five Fingers immediately remembered what had happened, he was actually tied up, and his gloomy eyes looked around, and he realized that he was in an empty room, with his back against the windowsill, and the faint sound of digging could be heard behind him.

"Don't say it" Ayton opened his mouth and stuffed the cloth into his mouth again, with a click, the sound of broken hand bones sounded, and his five fingers suddenly opened in anger, and his throat made a painful sound, and his body struggled to break free.

It's a pity that this rope is the best thing he brought out of the dark cave, and it is definitely not something that he can break free with his fourth-order strength.

After a few moments, the sharp pain subsided, and the five fingers realized that the underwear had been soaked with sweat.

Ayton ripped off the cloth from his mouth again, his face very calm, as if nothing had happened just now: "Answering questions, my patience may not be as good as you think." ”

Five Fingers looked at the young face in front of him in horror, and nodded subconsciously.

"First of all, which organization are you?"

"I... I'm the one with the black fingers" Five Fingers gasped for air, but most of his attention was focused on his surroundings, and there was a slight sound of carrying corpses behind his ears, as if his last two men were handling the corpses of others.

"Your identity?"

"Five fingers, fifth among fingers"

Ayton chuckled, "So you're the so-called finger, and it seems like that's it."

Five Fingers didn't answer, and the smell of blood entered his nose along the evening breeze, making him shiver.

"Very well, what is your purpose, who sent you?"

"It's Young Master Jeff of the Babbitt family, and it's he who has placed a reward of 300 hundred gold coins to capture the two of you alive. ”

Five-finger's lips trembled slightly, if he had known that these two young-looking men and women would kill people without even blinking an eye, they would not have snatched this task if they killed him, and now almost all of his men were killed, and Seven Fingers was nowhere to be found, and it was estimated that something had happened.

"Jeff, ha, it's actually him, tell everything you know, if you deliberately hide it, you know the consequences" Ayton said flatly, then moved a small bench and sat down to get ready to listen.

Rubbing against this gap, Five Fingers secretly turned his head to look out the window, but happened to see a delicate figure sneaking up on the last two of his men from behind, and kicked them into the small pit in front of them, and buried them together with nearly twenty corpses inside...

This scene completely frightened the five fingers, and he unconsciously rambled all over his body, pouring out all the things he knew...

In fact, the matter is very simple, that is, during the day, Jeff Babbitt was stoned in the head, and he couldn't find the person who threw the stone at him, so he couldn't swallow the bad breath, so he poured his anger on Ayton and them

Their purebred black-haired and black-eyed appearance is more conspicuous, and the Babbitt family quickly found out where they lived, but they didn't know the details of the two and didn't dare to attack rashly, so they found the underground force - Black Finger and placed a reward of 300 gold coins.

After some scouting, Blackfinger soon discovers that the two of them have no background, and learns through the gate officer that the two may be adventurers from the Land of Thorns.

How could such a good fat sheep black finger not do it, so the five fingers and seven fingers were unfortunately drawn this opportunity.

Knowing what was going on, Ayton couldn't help but sigh, it seems that even in the human world, the ugliness of human nature is not much worse than that of a dark cave...

Fortunately, this time it was only two fingers, and if all the black fingers were dispatched, they would most likely reveal the identity of the dark elves.

No background... This is the source of bad luck, Ayton suddenly missed Lan Coco, through the identity of the little princess of Yaolan, he should be able to gain a firm foothold in Huangyao City.

Suddenly, Ayton remembered another person, Claire, the envoy sent to the Thornlands in the first place, who seemed to be of no low status, and if he was found, his protection should be able to solve these troubles for the time being.

Just as Ayton was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"Almost, come in"

The petite figure walked in, Ariel glanced at the five fingers that were tied to the chair, and found that there were not many traces of abuse on his body, and couldn't help but smack his lips and said: "I thought the bones were very hard, but it was over so quickly, brother, do you want to hand over the people in the next room to me for interrogation"

Ayton waved his hand and said, "No need, dispose of him, I'll interrogate him and see if the information is true." ”

Hearing the cold word treatment, the five fingers suddenly panicked, a pair of pupils dilated to the extreme due to fear, and the body kept shaking the wooden chair, making a creaking sound... It's just a pity that these can't change his ending.

As the night deepened, Ayton fell asleep with the gentle body in his arms in his arms, as if nothing had happened tonight...

......

The sun rose as usual the next day, and the young man who was weaving wooden baskets sat quietly under the warm sunlight, and the delicate palms that originally belonged to the young man were thick cocoons, as if his life was to weave wooden baskets and sell them to rich people.

Even so, his bright eyes still keep an eye on the pedestrians on the streets, trying to find a few new adventurers or mercenaries who can be their guides for a day far more than he can make by weaving baskets for a day.

Suddenly, his eyes noticed two familiar figures, and a look of surprise erupted in his eyes, but he quickly retracted.

Throwing down the half-woven basket, he ran to the black-haired boy about his age, bowing slightly, and posing very respectfully.

"May I ask the two young masters, is there anything else you need me to serve?"

Ayton smiled gently, "Warren, didn't I say it? ”

"Okay. Warren nodded and straightened up.

"I want to go to the North End to find someone, and if it goes well, the reward is a gold coin"

"Thank you so much for your generosity. Warren resisted the thought of bowing again, and walked towards the North District with a happy face, but he suddenly noticed that the aura on the two people seemed to be a little different today, it was a kind of blood smell that had just been killed.

Turning his head to look at the two of them with flat faces, Warren shook his head and shook the thoughts out of his mind, how could his big client be this kind of person.

......

Passing through the bustling East District, they finally set foot in the northern district of the aristocratic city of Huangyao City, where the ground is clean and tidy, and there are no loud stalls and vendors in the streets, only rows of luxury carriages and patrols passing by.

The people here are dressed in gorgeous and extravagant clothes, and they walk proudly through the streets, followed by several family guards at all times.

The aristocratic lady wears expensive jewelry, chats with acquaintances she meets by chance, and talks elegantly in her manners. Different from the lively and extraordinary downtown of the East District, here is orderly and orderly...

"Is this the North District?" it looks so boring—" Ariel looked at her surroundings, her black pupils tinged with a hint of disappointment.

"Come on, we're not here to play" The dark-haired teenager next to her knocked her, motioning her to put away her playful thoughts.

Behind them was a cowering young man, his head bowed and he didn't dare to say a word.

After several inquiries, they finally arrived at their destination, the Saifu family mansion...

Claire Saifo, as the eldest son of the family, he is outstanding, serving as the special envoy of the imperial capital, because of his contribution to quelling the rebellion in the Thorn Land, although the position has not changed, but presumably in the future, there will be any diplomatic incidents, King Fürth has to give priority to him.

Among other things, the mere gift of him a piece of land shows how important he is in the king's heart.

The patriarch of the Saifu family, that is, his father, Viscount Saifu, is old, and there is only one son under his knees, Claire, and he is the heir to the viscount.

There are no diplomatic events now, and Claire is in the study to deal with some of the family's business affairs.

Suddenly, there were two knocks at the door, and Claire stopped the high-quality quill in her hand.

"Come in"

The attendant walked into the study lightly and respectfully handed over a small note: "Young master, there are three young men and women outside the door who want to see you..."

When I opened the small note, I saw that it simply said... Sorry, I didn't get you out last time.

Claire chuckled and asked, "What do those three young men and women look like?"

The squire looked puzzled, but answered his question anyway, and when she heard the words of the black-haired and black-eyed words, Claire stood up and said elegantly, "Go, take me to meet the three of them." ”

When the attendant saw that the eldest young master actually got up to greet the visitor in person, the surprise on his face was even more indescribable.

......

In front of the gate of the Saifu family, this is a large mansion that is much larger than the house Ayton bought, and the walls are a chasm that ordinary people cannot cross.

Claire's chief bodyguard... Bard was staring at the three of them.

As soon as he came back from outside, he saw two of the familiar figures, although the intersection was not deep, but from the two encounters in the Luoxia Mountains, he could see that the girl among them was by no means as white and immaculate as her appearance.

"Hello, I remember your name was Bud, right" Ayton went up and greeted him first, although the first encounter was a little unpleasant, but overall it should be good.

Bard's face softened, "Why are you here?

Ayton simply clarified his intentions, the main reason was nothing more than to inquire about the news of Lan Coco, and by the way, he vaguely revealed that he had encountered some difficulties when he first came to Huangyao.

"The two of them came from afar, it really makes the disdainful house shine" Claire slowly walked out of the gate with a smile, and the surrounding family guards showed surprise when they saw that their young master respected the person who came so much.

Originally, they thought that these three young men and women were just simple visitors, and at most they would just let them in after a while, but they didn't expect the young master to come to greet them in person.
