Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Origin

After breakfast the next day, Lan Ning waited for Mai's arrival outside the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info about half an hour later, the Maier family and Euris and their party arrived.

Since Maier did not make an appointment in advance, the guards of the dungeon did not immediately let him go, but sent someone to Yishan to report it. It didn't take long for Yishan to take the maid to the dungeon. She looked good, and smiled at Euris as she stood still.

"Do you want to be tried today?"

"Hmm." Maier nodded, "There's still something to care about." ”

"Where do you care? Why didn't I hear you say that yesterday? ”

Yishan pretended to have a look of sudden realization and sighed softly.

"Oh! That's right! I patronized and played yesterday, and I didn't talk about business. ”

Euris knew that Yishan was showing off that Maier was playing with her yesterday, and she was very angry. But now that she had changed her image in front of Myr, she couldn't argue with Yishan, and she couldn't show displeasure, lest she feel like she was pretending to be goodβ€”when in reality she was pretending.

"Since we didn't have time to talk about business yesterday, don't delay today, let's go into the dungeon."

Euris's false friendly smile makes Yishan feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart, but she can't say anything more than to take Maier, Euris and Lanning into the dungeon.

"Only their leaders will be tried today."

After Maier spoke, Yishan asked the guards to take Kugi Thirty-three to the interrogation room. Kugi Thirty-three, whose forehead was wrapped in a strip of black cloth, had a withered face, and his eyes were dull, as lifeless as a candle about to burn out.

The three maids were still in the interrogation room today, and Mayer's questioning last night had given Ye and Bird a lot of confidence in saving these witches. They have been encouraging Kugi Thirty-three with their eyes, hoping that she can be as brave as yesterday, but unfortunately Kugi Thirty-three has now given up hope and is only waiting to make a choice between being killed and being sold.

"Listen to my maid, your number is Kugi Thirty-Three?"

Myer's question made Kugi Thirty-three stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why Maier asked such an inconsequential trivial matter, so she could only nod her head honestly.

"In other words, you are a graduate of the ninth phase of the wooden character camp, one of the apprenticeship camps affiliated to the Black Shrine?"

Kugi Thirty-three's eyes flashed with surprise, his face was a little angry, and he nodded a little more.

"Listen to my maid, in addition to you, there are four graduates of the ninth phase of the wooden word camp, and they are also the captains of the evil witch organization?"

At this point, Kugi finally realizes that Maier has learned more about her and her subordinates, which means that Maier has taken an interest in them, and they have the possibility of regaining their lives. She immediately straightened her attitude, and Masashi replied.

"Exactly."

If Kuki Thirty-three's subordinates have the bottom line that humans should have because of the black shrine shrine with the number Seven Grass Eighteen, then how did Kugi Thirty-three and her contemporaries become different from others? Maier thought there must be some kind of opportunity in this, and asked.

"What do the five of you have in common?"

Kugi Thirty-three thought seriously for a moment and replied.

"My lord, we all have different personalities and have nothing in common."

"Did you have any common, special experiences during the apprenticeship?"

Kugi Thirty-three recalled carefully and shook his head. But in the moment when Maier frowned, she said again.

"We didn't have any special experiences in the apprenticeship camp...... To be exact, we didn't know each other at all. After graduating, the five of us were placed in the same brigade, and it was only after that that that we became acquainted. ”

"Did you have any special experiences after you graduated?"

"Yes." Kugi Thirty-three nodded without thinking, "When we were on our first mission, we suffered a crushing defeat, and all five of us became prisoners. ”

"What are you attacking?"

"A caravan."

Jiumu Thirty-three paused, and then added.

"A caravan of the Yan family."

And the caravan of the Yan family?!

Mel's mouth could not be closed in astonishment, and his eyes widened.

"Actually, at the time of the attack, we didn't know whose caravan it was." Kugi Thirty-three continued, "After the five of us were captured, we were very frightened, and a caravan leader who claimed to be He Yan Zhiliang came to comfort us and said, don't be afraid, we are a caravan of the He Yan family, and we will not kill people casually. ”

He Yan Zhiliang is the eldest brother of He Yan Zhiheng, and has become the recognized heir to the head of the family in the He Yan family. He Yan Zhiheng mentioned his eldest brother in front of Maier more than once, and when he mentioned He Yan Zhiliang, there was no jealousy in He Yan Zhiheng's tone, only respect and full pride.

"He asked us if we wanted to live, and we all said yes, and he made us swear to the god of the world that we would never hurt innocent people again, and then let us go."

"So you're different from other witches?"

Kugi Thirty-three shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"At that time, we didn't know what 'innocence' was, and we were afraid of being punished by God, so we asked Lord He Yan Zhiliang to know what innocence was. He explained to us in detail what innocence was, after which he asked us if we would like to stay in his caravan. We were scared when we heard this, because during the apprenticeship camp, the shrine maidens always told us that if we ran away, the great witch would hunt us down to the ends of the earth. ”

"So you didn't accept his invitation?"

Kugi Thirty-three nodded with a wry smile. In fact, even now, she still lives in the shadow of the Great Witch. If it weren't for the fact that she felt that Mel had the power to shelter her and her men, she would not have mustered up the courage to say such a thing yesterday.

Mel looked at Leaf and Bird, and saw the two maids look surprised. Undoubtedly, the only thing that surprised the two maids was that the Great Witch would hunt them down to the ends of the earth, as they had never received such an education. If it weren't for this, Xiao Ye would not have run away with the bird so decisively.

In other words, such ideas will only be instilled in the graduating students, and the trainees before this will not receive this kind of education.

Mel speculated, and then looked at Kugi Thirty-three.

"It stands to reason that after that, you who can't make any achievements shouldn't get any chance of promotion, so how did you get promoted to captain?"

"The Great Witch is always expanding." Jiumu Thirty-three showed a helpless smile, "When I first left the apprenticeship camp, the northern part of Shangjin County was not our activity area, and our activity area in Liangyue City was also very small. In order to grab territory from other forces, the Great Witch often attacks them. Killing bad guys is not a violation of the oath, and the five of us were promoted by virtue of our merits in this area, and step by step we were promoted to become captains, taking over the five newly formed brigades. ”

At this point, Maier already had a plan in his heart.

"Where are the other four brigades deployed now?"

"We were all operating in the northern part of Kamijin Prefecture, but after the failure of the plan to attack Twenty-Nine Village, the Great Shrine Maiden lost a lot of her brigade, and after we retreated, we returned to the territory of Riya Shrine according to the original plan. After that, my brigade was transferred to the territory of Liangyue Castle to fill the vacancy, and the other four brigades were left in the territory of Riya Shrine to fill the vacancy. Before we set off, we exchanged the addresses of their bases, and their brigade bases were all in the southern area of Riya Shrine. ”

In fact, the so-called "original plan" was not a plan for retreat after defeat, but a route for withdrawal after victory. The chief shrine maiden, who had made the plan, thought that after the war, all the troops should be brought back to the territory of the shrine to be reorganized and then redistributed. Of course, there is also her selfishness in this. She wants to control all the evil witches stationed in the country and make them obey her orders. In this way, she will have more cards available in her hand, and she will have an absolute advantage in the internal struggle of the Black Shrine.

It's a pity that the attack on Twenty-Nine Village failed, and she herself died under the sword of the Black Guards. However, the withdrawal route she left behind brought a lot of convenience to the Great Witch, and the Great Witch sent people to the assembly place to reorganize the various brigades and reassign them to various activity areas.

"Good."

Mel smiled and folded her hands around her chest.

"Last question, do you and the other four captains want to be evil witches?"

"I don't want to!"

Kugi Thirty-three replied without thinking about it, to which Maier asked with a helpless smile.

"Then why did you go back after the failed attack on Twenty-Nine Village?"

Jiumu Thirty was stunned when he heard this, and showed a wry smile again.

"We're afraid of being hunted down by the Great Witch...... Although my subordinates advised me to take the opportunity to escape, I was just afraid, so I suggested that everyone go back. The four of them must have thought about the same thing as I did, so they immediately agreed. ”

Or is it because of the fear of being hunted down?

Mel very much didn't understand Kugi's fear of the Great Shrine Maiden, because he hadn't experienced that kind of brainwashing. After the girl was taken into the witch's training camp, she could not leave until she was fifteen years old. Before leaving the camp, all their knowledge of the world came from the shrine maidens who taught them, and for them, what the shrine maidens said was the truth. If the shrine maidens say that they will be chased and killed by the great witch if they run away, they will feel that they will definitely be hunted down.

And the shrine maidens don't just tell the apprentice shrine maidens about this, they will make up stories to scare the apprentice shrine maidens and make them feel that if they run away, they will become miserable. There are so many lies that it's easy to take them for the truth. This is the case with the chief witch who was killed by the Blackguards, otherwise she wouldn't have looked ahead and backwards, and she had to run away after killing the Blackguards, and she died because of this.

"If I give you a chance to bring your men back with your subordinates to find a way to capture a few of the shrine maidens alive, we won't necessarily give you back your freedom after that, and even then, will you accept this request?"

As long as there is a chance, Kuki Thirty-three is willing to give it a go. But it is too difficult to capture the people of the Black Shrine alive, and in the eyes of the evil witches stationed abroad, the shrine maidens are all diehards of the Great Witch, and they can die for the Great Witch at any time. All of the witches had learned a variety of suicide techniques before they graduated, and these techniques were taught to them by the shrine maidens.

"Your Excellency...... It's not that I don't want to cherish this opportunity, we really can't do that. Not to mention whether I and my subordinates can beat the shrine maiden, even if we can, we won't be able to catch it alive. ”

"Why?"

As soon as Kugi Thirty-three told Maier what she knew about the shrine maiden of the Black Shrine, Maier immediately figured everything out.

As long as you can't catch the live mouth, the location of the Black Shrine cannot be revealed...... In order to protect herself, she actually did this.,This black shrine's big witch is really terrifying.。

Maier thought for a moment with a serious face, and motioned for the guards to take Kugi Thirty-three back to the prison.
