When Dodge woke up, he saw a ceiling he didn't recognize.

His head was groggy, and he seemed to have forgotten something important, and wanted to move his body, only to find himself lying on an unknown bed, unable to move.

"Ahh

At this time, the Dows recalled the thrilling scene they had just encountered.

"Come on......"

Screaming and screaming, Dodge didn't get any response.

Until, a sound of footsteps came, which gave him some hope.

"Who, come and save me, what I have is money, give it to you, give it to you......"

Dodge was a little incoherent and said in a panic.

But soon, he was speechless.

Because the hooded man was quietly watching Dodge without saying a word.

"You, what do you want...... Money, power, or anything else, I can give it to you, don't kill me, don't kill me...... I am the nephew of the consul of Atlantia...... You can't ......."

Dodge felt a burst of damp heat in his lower body, it turned out that he instinctively peed his pants in fright, and he only now noticed that the bed where he was lying was clearly a coffin.

"What you're looking for in Noelle's Curiosity Shop is exactly what I wanted. ”

Rosen spoke, trying to paraphrase Dodge's words.

“...... Big, adult, I don't know anything, I just want to scare that little cousin, so I hired someone to kidnap her back, but I don't know that my lord's good thing is ......"

Even if Dodge was in this state, he was tight-lipped, and Rosen suddenly felt that something was different.

"Really...... But the three people you sent out didn't say that. ”

Lawson asked, then picked up something from his hand and placed it in front of Dodge.

It was a head.

The look of horror froze on Gaia's face, and it looked terrifying, and the head was staring at Dodge, making the hairs on his back stand on end.

"This is this person you should know. ”

"This—This is a false accusation!!

Dodge still looks innocent, and if Rosen hadn't read the relevant memories from Gaia's brain, I'm afraid he couldn't help but wonder if his own inference was wrong.

"He must have been bribed by someone else and wanted to blame me, my lord, you have to believe me!"

"If you don't believe it, it's up to you to tell the truth. ”

Rosen decided to take a different approach.

He spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand was a wriggling worm.

The bug was the size of a fingernail, with a black carapace, two antennae, and six eyes, most notably the mouthparts with tiny teeth, which were trembling slightly.

"Do you know what this is?"

Lawson asked, using his magic to put the bug in front of Dodge's eyes, and continued.

"This insect is called a bone eater, as the name suggests, it likes to eat the bones of animals the most, as long as it touches the flesh, it will keep burrowing inside, and then devour the bones, leaving only an empty shell, and I have many more such bugs. ”

"What do you want to do......"

There was a deep despair in Dodge's eyes, staring at the little bug that was flapping its wings.

"In a country in a remote area, there is a punishment for tying up a living person, putting them in a coffin, then putting in a large number of bone eaters, and then sealing the coffin. ”

Rosen said quietly, making Dodge's heart furious.

In this way, for a long time, people will not die, but will feel the pain of thousands of worms gnawing at the bones, and such a punishment is usually used to punish those who dare to deceive the king. ”

"Your Excellency...... I really didn't have ......."

There was already a cry in Dodge's voice, but he still didn't say anything valuable.

"Is that so. ”

Lawson nodded, looking as if he believed Dodge.

But the next moment, in his hand, the bug fell into Dodge's face.

"Ah, sorry, my hand slipped. ”

"Ahhhhh!!!!!h

Dodge immediately screamed, trembling all over, trying to break free, but the bug slowly crawled to the bridge of Dodge's nose, and its dense teeth were gradually approaching Dodge.

At the same time, with the sound of wings, Dodge could see a black mist composed of countless insects hovering above, almost rushing towards him.

"Wait, I said, I said !!"

Dodge roared, his voice hoarse and full of despair.

And the bone-eating worm on the bridge of his nose also happened to stop between the two eyes, and the open mouthparts did not bite Dodge's skin.

"Say it. ”

Lawson pulled the bug away, and the dark shadow behind him stopped stirring, and the room was silent.

Grimm Noelle...... It's the original owner of Noelle's Curiosity Shop, who found a treasure from the Endless Abyss a year ago, and that's what we wanted. ”

Dodge swallowed and said slowly.

"It's a key, and few people know the exact circumstances, but I just know that it's worth a lot of money, enough to make a lot of big people fight. ”

Key?

If it is simply understood, Rosen can think that it is the key to open the seal of the holy relic, and in this way, it seems that many things can be explained.

Fina's father, Glynn Noelle, had acquired an item in the Endless Abyss a year earlier, but he brought it with him without knowing what it was used for, and then somehow gave it to Fina for safekeeping.

And a month ago, there was a force that found the body of the holy relic, and that light was the counterattack sent by the relic's forced activation, and after that, this group of people couldn't drive the holy relic because they didn't have the key, so they began to look for the location of the key, and at the same time, through various channels, spread information about the holy relic, praying that someone could crack it.

After much deliberation, they finally found out that the key had been taken by Glynn Noelle.

So they found Glynn Noelle, tortured him, and found that the man had become a mad cripple, and was already dying, and soon could not stand the torture and died.

This force set its sights on Fina, a daughter in the field, hoping to find a clue from Fina's body.

It's just that it's very likely that Glynn Noelle himself didn't realize that it was the key to the holy relic, so Fina naturally couldn't know about it, and in the face of the torture of Gaia and others, she couldn't say any information.

But then again, what kind of force is that force that can make a powerful person like Dodge do his best to shield it, even if he is tortured?

"You do things for cultists?"

Rosen asked, his voice a little cold.

"No, no, my lord, I don't dare to go along with those guys......"

Dodge could only shake his head slightly because he was restrained, and he said hurriedly.

"I was commissioned by my uncle to find someone to kidnap Fiena Noelle. ”
