It was late at night, the sky was full of stars, and in the basement of a small three-story building in the southern part of the city of Istar, Alfred was hugging his body and shivering. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The climate of Ishar had been magically conditioned, and it was always in a very comfortable state, but even so, the young man still broke out in a cold sweat and shivered uncontrollably.

His eyes were fixed on the outside of the iron prison, where the two guards were drinking boredly.

Alfred had been here for more than a month, and at first, they were only imprisoned and blocked from using magic, but a week ago, the gang began to torture them.

Unlike the black iron rank of a swordsman, a mage is almost no different from an ordinary person once his magic is blocked, so Alfred has no ability to resist these guys.

He was one of the luckier ones, being beaten a few times and then starved, and his companion Francis was not so lucky.

After an unsuccessful attempt to escape, the poor creature was hanged up, stripped of all his fingernails, broke off his fingers one by one, whipped him incessantly, and even gave him all kinds of unknown drugs.

Alfred didn't know who these people were, they just kept asking them about the whereabouts of the other mages, but how did Alfred know?

He knew that the stationmaster Paul and the others had made a second trip to the capital of sin, and the time of their return was unknown, and Alfred himself was worried about whether something had happened to his predecessors.

"Damn, Jacob, that son of a bitch, won the fucking casino yesterday, why don't you have this shit luck."

A bearded guard swore and drank the rum in his cup in one gulp.

"He's going to be out of luck, don't worry."

Another tall, lanky guard replied casually, grabbing a piece of jerky from his plate and munching it in his mouth.

"I've got to vent, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The bearded guard stood up as he spoke, slowly unlocking the cell.

This made Alfred's nerves tense.

Normally, it means beatings, torture, verbal abuse, and he curls up and clutches his head.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, it's all because you two Lao Tzu have to stay in this ghost place, Lao Tzu hasn't touched a woman for a month!"

He spat in the face of the hanging Francis, and picked up the whip in his hand.

With two smacks, there were two more blood marks on the thin young man's body, but he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Seeing that the other party did not react, the bearded guard seemed to be relieved, and directly picked up the short knife on his waist.

"Wait, what do you want to do?"

The tall and thin guard immediately reached out to stop his companion.

"Leave the two of them alive, this is what the boss ordered before leaving, don't you want to die?"

"I'm just playing."

The bearded guard smiled, a malicious smile.

"Anyway, as long as you don't die, it doesn't matter if you lack something."

His blade glowed with cold light, heading towards Francis' lower body.

Bang -

A loud bang suddenly came from upstairs, followed by shouts of killing, which made the bearded guard stop his movements.

"Someone broke in?"

He looked at his companion's face with some confusion, and the other party was equally confused.

"With Raphael and a few of them in the black iron, nothing will happen, right?"

The tall and thin guard said, and the two of them will also swing their knives twice, and in addition to their boss Evil Eye Dominic, there are a few people with the Black Iron Rank.

Besides, they were well hidden on weekdays, and the Iron Wolf Guards would never have thought that there was a stronghold of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group in the city of Easter.

But just as he finished speaking, the commotion upstairs immediately subsided, and there was no movement.

"I'll go check on the situation."

The bearded warden stroked his beard and tried to climb the stairs, but was knocked back by something thrown out of the doorway.

It was a human head.

The cross-section of the neck is quite neat, and the face of the human head still has a stunned expression, and the eyes are so wide that they look extremely terrifying under the candlelight.

"Raphael !?"

The tall and thin guard immediately recognized the owner of the human head, and he couldn't believe it, how long had passed, and Raphael, who was dignified in the Black Iron Rank, had been beheaded so simply.

Before the two guards had time to be surprised, a swordsman in armor walked out of the deep doorway.

The big sword in his hand was quaint and heavy, stained with blood, and quite terrifying.

With a sword slashed out, the bearded guard was in a different place, and he didn't even have time to scream.

"How ......"

He hurriedly stepped back, raising his knife to resist, but the next moment, the cold blade had already penetrated the chest of the tall and thin guard.

All this was seen by Alfred, who looked in horror at the arrival of a tall knight with an extra-long sword in his hand, who was kicking away the bodies of the two guards and walking towards the cell.

"Don't, don't come here."

Alfred didn't know the other party's intentions, and although he killed their captors as soon as he appeared, who could guarantee that this person was not another force that wanted to find Paul and them, and would not torture them with even more cruel methods?

But the other party seemed to ignore Alfred's protests, and he stepped up to the apprentice, a little blue light seeming from his visor in the candlelight.

"Ahh

A tingling sensation came from the center of his eyebrows, and Alfred was stunned, and then he was invaded by various memories that welled up in his brain.

There are not only pictures of being teased by everyone before awakening the ability, but also scenes of studying magic at the table, and memories of accidentally hearing several seniors arguing.

"It's ...... Reading memory? ”

Alfred quickly remembered what he had read in the books, that when the Bronze Rank had become proficient in the use of magic, he could directly read the memories of others or infuse what he had seen and heard directly into the minds of others.

This guy is bronze? At least the level of a low-level mage!?

Tried to resist, but Alfred soon found that it was in vain, the opponent's strength was too strong, and his own will was like a candle in the wind, and there was no way to defend against this strong reading memory.

"Uh-"

With an exclamation, Alfred's already suppressed mental power suddenly collapsed, his eyes darkened, and he immediately fainted.

And the knight, Rosen also happened to finish his reading work, and checked the physical condition of the two of them a little.

This mage apprentice who doesn't seem to have any wounds is very fragile now, but fortunately, there is nothing unusual in his body, and the other mage apprentice who was hung up is miserable, not only his body is full of holes, but even his consciousness has already collapsed due to the action of multiple drugs, even if he is rescued, he will be a waste in the future.

"It seems that they do not know the whereabouts of those mages."

Lawson, who had read the memories of the mage's apprentice named Alfred, confirmed his suspicions, and it seemed that the mages might indeed be in trouble in the City of Karma.

"Next ......"

Lawson looked at the two mage apprentices, and at the same time, he sensed that there were many people with murderous intent rushing towards him.

"I'm going to have to find a place to hide."
