135 Andrew the Betrayer
Rowling smiled and shook her wrist semi-threateningly. A drop of dark green liquid immediately and quietly landed on Andrew's ear.
Out of the corner of his eye, Andrew caught a horrified glimpse of the demonic liquid, instantly scorching his loose hair and dripping onto the interrogation table below. The liquid continued to boil as if it were alive, and the extremely small "sizzle" sound that was constantly burning the table top of the interrogation table fell on Andrew's ears like thunder. His scalp couldn't help but feel tight and tingle.
If this thing is poured into your mouth...... Andrew swallowed deeply to ease his nerves, which were on the verge of collapse.
"Well, Mr. Andrew?" The smile on Rowling's face was still graceful and calm. She gracefully moved the potion little by little towards the top of Andrew's mouth, while her other hand pressed his chin again.
"Nope! I say! I say! I'll say everything! Because my master is the sealer entrusted by Lord Presto at that time. And DeWitt is my brother! The tip of his nose already smelled the pungent smell of the potion, and Andrew, who was almost breathless from the torture of fear, exclaimed with all his strength.
"He's your senior brother?" As soon as this secret was revealed, everyone reacted differently.
With a disdainful look in Rowling's eyes, Andrew slowly withdrew the potion bottle, replugged the stopper, and took a step out without moving, as if she felt dirty even approaching this person.
Carré frowned tightly, as if judging the truth of what Andrew had said.
Anwena covered her mouth in disbelief, she couldn't believe that someone could do such a thing to her relatives and friends because of something outside her body.
Thea, who was still unconscious, was holding his hand to convey the light, and couldn't help but tighten again.
No one will like a betrayer except a demon. Whether it is an elven dragon or a human, they all have the same disgust when faced with betrayers of the same race.
Although he knows that what he does will definitely cause others to resent it. But now Andrew has no choice in order to win their trust.
"Yes, Devitt is my senior brother." Anyway, it has already been said, and Andrew simply broke the jar. I poured out all the things I knew. He can only try to get everything to DeWitt's head now, so that these vicious guys can spare him a way to survive-
"That was more than a decade ago. I was just an apprentice in magic...... "Andrew began to tell his story slowly.
Everything goes back to the kingdom of Alterac more than ten years ago.
At that time, Andrew was still a young master of a big aristocratic family. Because of the occasional talent for spells, he was sent by his family to learn the way of spells from a well-known mage in the Kingdom of Alterac at that time.
However. The young master's Andrew has no idea how thick the sky is, and he always thinks that he didn't go to Dara, but to learn from this mage is to bury his talent. Not only that, but he also thought in his heart that this mage was just a character who was just a character who was called on and off by him like the governess hired by his family in the past, and his words often showed a domineering attitude.
With such an annoying attitude, although his master had to accept him because of the affection of the Andrew family, he was too lazy to teach him anything sincerely. It's just a face-saving lecture, and then he is left to fend for himself. And Andrew already thinks very highly of himself, and he is used to being praised by the people around him, where will he study hard. The master didn't ask anything of him, but he was happy.
But Andrew has one more dissatisfaction with it, and that is his brother DeWitt. Coming from a civilian background, he always made Andrew feel that it was insulting to study with him, and he usually repeatedly provoked DeWitt. However, DeWitt not only studied diligently and studied hard, but Andrew could not take advantage of him in spells. Moreover, Devitt served the master like his own father, and was deeply loved by the master. Therefore, after being discovered by the master several times for doing something to DeWitt, Andrew was almost expelled from the family by the master.
But Andrew doesn't care about his own problems, he only has his master's preference for Andrew and Andrew's growing strength. Little by little, the seeds of jealousy and resentment took root in his heart and grew, making his heart even more distorted in the shadows of darkness.
But if it weren't for that war. Andrew was supposed to return to his family and become the patriarch to enjoy the glory and wealth of a mortal nobleman. For Andrew, that's the life he wants. His interest in spells was limited to showing off among noble ladies. As long as Andrew has money and power, no matter how great a mage is, he can not be hired to work for his family. So Andrew essentially looked down on mages who were diligently pursuing the path of spells and ignoring their own enjoyment.
But that war ruined everything.
Overnight, the king of Alterac was placed under house arrest, and the great nobles were stripped of their titles and domains. Andrew's family is no exception.
The thought of becoming a civilian like Devitt made Andrew unable to calm his anger. However, at this moment, he was only worthy of stepping into the threshold of a second-order mage. This kind of strength is not helpful to the family at all. And the schadenfreude and contemptuous glances of the servants around him made Andrew lose his mind even more. He decided that he was going to steal the cheats and treasures of the eccentric master and rush back to his territory.
That's when it happened. An unexpected guest visits his master's mage tower.
It was a personable young aristocrat. His appearance and etiquette, even as a nobleman, Andrew can't find any flaws. His demeanor made Andrew, who thought highly of himself, ashamed of himself. Why would such a person come to visit his little-known Master? So Andrew, driven by curiosity. Using the method that had been prepared a long time ago, he infiltrated the Mage Tower. Eavesdropped on their conversations.
The young nobleman called himself Lord Presto. His territory was destroyed by a dragon during the war. He plans to try his luck at the center of the Alliance, King Lordaeron, hoping that the Alliance will give him some help. However, he was cautious by nature and did not intend to gamble, not to mention the long way to Lordaeron, and in order to prevent accidents, he hoped that a few family heirlooms would remain in Alterac for use when he returned home. But for fear of being discovered, he came to ask Andrew's master to preside over a sealed enchantment for his treasure.
Hearing about the family heirloom, Andrew's heart couldn't help but pound. As a great nobleman, he knew all too well the value of a treasure that could be regarded as an heirloom by a family. Almost instantly, he had the idea of taking these things for granted.
However, the truth did not go as smoothly as he imagined.
The Master did not take him with him to the treasure hiding place, but took DeWitt with him. Lord Presto, on the other hand, disappeared on the same day. Had it not been for the fact that Andrew had heard of his rise to prominence in Lordaeron, he would have almost killed the nobleman on the basis that his master and Devit had murdered him for money.
Although Master and Devit continued to live as if nothing had happened, Andrew's heart could not be calmed. That unknown treasure is like a small hand, which grabs Andrew's heart all the time.
Finally, Andrew lost his sanity and patience.
When DeWitt was away one day, he poisoned the unsuspecting Master's food and asked him about the treasure. However, before he could ask anything, he was discovered by DeWitt, who had returned.
In a panic, Andrew was defeated by an angry DeWitt, and finally fled with a few magic weapons that he had found. And Devitt was anxious about his master's injury, and did not pursue Andrew, so that he let this scourge go.
Andrew then fled back to his territory, mobilized his private soldiers, and went to Master's Mage Tower again, only to find that the building was empty.
Later, as the political situation in Alterac deteriorated, Andrew's family joined the syndicate. With the power of his family and his own mage, Andrew became the top of the organization, and returned to living the life of the aristocracy of his past. It's just that this treasure of Presto is like a spell, constantly appearing in his heart from moment to moment.
"Recently...... There was a violent energy reaction in the Alterac Valley, and the result of my men's probing was here in Steinbrad. At that time, my Master's Dharma Tower was not far from here. I was just trying my luck with suspicion, but I didn't expect to meet DeWitt. Now, I'm almost certain that the Presto treasure must be here. So I arrested him and prepared to torture him to find out the whereabouts of the treasure. But...... The guy's mouth was so hard that I didn't ask anything. Andrew said this, and his tone couldn't help but carry a sense of schadenfreude. I know, I've said it all. For the rest, there is no ability to make this stubborn guy speak. Haha......"
Andrew couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on DeWitt, who was still unconscious.
"Thea." Carré frowned and asked, "Is there any hope for this person?" If he is to wake up, how long will it take? ”
Sia embarrassed Witt. "If only by my strength...... I'm afraid it will take some time. ”
Hearing this, Rowling gently stretched out her finger and tapped her small chin, not knowing what she was thinking. (To be continued)
