Chapter 273: The Stone Cave Cell
Lucia felt that she had slept for a long time because she had a series of strange dreams, but when she woke up, she could not remember a single dream. She felt her muscles ache and realized www.biquge.info she was being held back by something. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dimly lit room, and I could see the layout of the room through the light of a narrow window on the heights.
In fact, there was nothing here, a literal cell, with blue-gray walls on all sides, and the smell of damp earth in the air. In the middle of the cell stood an iron pillar, to which Lucia was bound by a huge magical chain, and her hands and feet could not move. Lucia tried to use her psychic powers to break free, but before she could move, the cell door opposite her opened.
Lucia was surprised by the person who walked in, it was the proprietress of the Tavern in Sunstring Village and her men, followed by Grove. Behind them were a few familiar faces, and Lucia remembered that they were all villagers who had met Dean Angela and herself on the road.
"You ......" the question came to her lips, but before she could say anything, Lucia suddenly understood, "You are in the same league as the Abbey!"
The proprietress laughed, and when she smiled, the people behind her laughed too. This is a great mockery for Lucia, who has always thought she was smart, but she did not expect to fall into the hands of others. A hint of bitterness at the corner of Lucia's mouth made her look like she was smiling, which made the proprietress very uncomfortable.
"What are you laughing at?" said the proprietress .
"What are you laughing at?" asked Lucia.
"We're laughing at you, and you don't realize until now, it's really stupid!" said the proprietress and laughed smugly.
"I'll admit that I'm a little stupid, and now I'm asking you for advice, so that I can die and understand!" Lucia said, not really thinking that she would die, but just seizing every opportunity to find out more information, "how many people are in the same league as the monastery?"
The proprietress stretched out her arms and said proudly, "See, this is only a small part, and I can kindly tell you that there is not a single villager in the entire village of Rixian who does not obey the words of the monastery." Moreover, what you just said is not right, what is collusion, it is too ugly! The monastery allows us to live a prosperous life, and we help the monastery, which is normal!"
"What are you doing for the Abbey?"
"Of course, Akulan...... Ah......" After only saying the beginning, the proprietress covered her mouth.
However, Lucia still heard clearly, and the mysterious name "Akulan" slipped past Lucia's ears again. The hostess's tight-lipped attitude is the same as that of the aunt, the only difference is that the former is to keep secrets, while the latter is more to protect her niece.
From the eyes of the villagers, it can be seen that no matter how much they ask about "Akulan", they may not get an answer, so Lucia suppressed her curiosity and changed the conversation: "Where am I now?"
"Do you want to run away?" seems to be learning to be obedient, and the proprietress doesn't plan to follow Lucia anymore, "We won't give you this time to reads;!"
"At least tell me what time it is. Lucia smiled calmly, and at the same time, she quietly urged her spiritual power.
"Want to stall for time?" the proprietress glanced at the trapped girl with disdain, "Waiting for that handsome Oriental to come and save you?" tell you, the people of the monastery have already investigated, he is not on the island now, even if he rushes back as quickly as possible, he will not be able to save you, because you will die soon!" The proprietress glared at Lucia fiercely and said, "You will be executed in an hour!" You should be honored, because your blood will be sacrificed, and your soul will have boundless power!!"
Lucia's face couldn't help but twitch, and the proprietress couldn't help but twitch her words, and the villagers behind her echoed it, like an after-dinner conversation, and most people's eyes were excited. This is a very crazy thing, the villagers are no longer ordinary villagers, they have become accomplices of the murderer, and even more terrifying existence! Lucia couldn't help but grit her teeth, she wanted to break free from the shackles immediately and tell the people of Yueqin Village about this. After all, in such a situation, they are the most dangerous!
A villager outside the door walked in in a panic, whispered a few words in the ear of the proprietress and whispered a few words, the proprietress changed her complexion, and exited the room angrily: "I don't have time to accompany you here, think about the last words of death." ”
With that, she turned around and closed the door, and suddenly stopped again, and a sentence floated in through the crack in the door, and stabbed coldly into Lucia's heart: "Remind you, it's best not to think about escaping, this cell is not ordinary!"
There was a "clang" and the door was locked. Lucia's heart shook, and it wasn't until that moment that she realized that her escape plan was impossible to carry out. As the hostess said, this cell is different. As early as when she first arrived in Egrim, Lucia had been taught the power of the "Soul Exterminator" in Iconatny Prison, and that time her spiritual power was drained, not to mention that even her life was seriously threatened. Now, when she realized that a "soul destroyer" had also been placed in this small room, cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
Human magic props may not be able to exert the full power of the blood demon, but so far, she does feel sore, and her limbs are weak. I tried to transport spiritual power, and sure enough, as expected, the more I did this, the faster the spiritual power was discharged. In this way, not to mention notifying the villagers of Yueqin Village, even their own lives will be at risk!
Lucia was surrounded by an unprecedented sense of frustration, and she regretted not listening to Dora, regretting her conceited thoughts at the time, and even regretting arguing with Xuanyu and saying such hurtful things to him even though she knew he had no choice but to do so. If she really died here, the first person Lucia would not forgive was herself, and when she thought that her willfulness would end up risking Xuanyu's life, her tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably.
At this moment, she suddenly missed the time she spent with Xuanyu, even if the two had different ideas, Xuanyu still took care of herself all the time, loving like a relative. When you are with him, you feel at ease, no more fear, no more feeling alone. The fragments of these memories slowly put together to form a warm current that moistened Lucia's heart. But at the same time, the predicament in front of her hit her heart like a hailstone, making her panic.
As the minutes ticked by, Lucia was helpless. The sunlight outside the window shone on Lucia's body, and during this time, she felt a little dazzling as it moved from her shoulders to her cheeks, but she did not hate the warm feeling. It was already dawn, and the sunlight cast the shape of the narrow window onto the ground, where a distorted light and shadow appeared, and in the midst of several railings, a large round object appeared abruptly, and on closer inspection, it seemed to be moving slowly. Lucia involuntarily turned her head and glanced towards the window, where she saw Xiaoli crawling in through the gap in the window.
Lucia's eyes widened, and she called out to the other party softly: "Are you here to save me?" As soon as the words came out, she felt really ridiculous, even Xiaoli, who was bigger than ordinary snails, couldn't have this ability, "Okay, did you come to see my jokes?"
"I'd love to have this spare time!" said Xiao Li, who was trying to go down the wall, in his usual unhappy tone, "but if I want to save my master, I must save you first!"
"Are you sure you can do it?" Lucia couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Li, "Listen to my advice, run away quickly, I've already affected one person, I can't even affect you anymore!" After speaking, Lucia only felt that her heart was being grabbed fiercely!
"It's none of my business who you've been involved with, shut up for me first!" Xiao Li's words had just finished when there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell door.
It was the man who was guarding the door who heard the movement, and the door opened, and the man looked in. Xiao Li just crawled to the floor, and it retracted into its shell, silently falling behind Lucia. The guard didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so he asked, "Who were you talking to?"
"I'm complaining to the gods!" Lucia said righteously.
The guard laughed contemptuously: "Our god is the master, and the others are demons and monsters!"
Lucia said, "Who is your master?"
The man snorted and slammed the door shut. As Lucia expected, he would not answer the question, but left in a hurry, which was exactly what Lucia wanted!
