Chapter 22: Torture
The old man, Mu Bai, is the butler of Castle Black.
Mu Bai waved his hand, and a silver blanket flew in from the door, stopped beside Wen Ying, and suspended not far from the ground, standing still. The blanket seems to be woven from some kind of silk thread, with a diamond-shaped pattern and tassels hanging from all sides, delicate and elegant. The whole blanket shone with a fine light, at first glance I thought the blanket was silver, but when I looked closely, I found that the silver blanket was flowing with colorful fine light, and the whole blanket was full of light.
The flying carpet, one of the thousands of gods and monsters in the kingdom of heaven, is to smelt the feathers of the phoenix of the divine beast of the kingdom of heaven, condensed into silk weaving, colorful, water and fire do not invade, can fly, the speed is as fast as the wind. The phoenix is one of the most powerful divine beasts in the Heavenly Kingdom, and its strength is comparable to that of a dragon. It is extremely difficult to hunt a phoenix, and the phoenix is super powerful, no one will kill a phoenix in order to get phoenix feathers to weave a flying carpet. Flying carpets are generally made of smelting and condensing silk from the feathers shed by the phoenix, and although they are not as rare as the colorful dragon balls, they are also precious monsters.
This flying carpet is not big, but it is also worth a lot.
At the beginning of the weaving of the flying carpet, any race only needs to drop a drop of its own blood into the flying carpet to become the owner of the flying carpet. If you want to remove the blood mark of the original owner of the flying carpet, you need the divine power of the Protoss or the witch spell of the Wood people to remove it.
Mu Bai is the owner of this flying carpet, which shows Mu Bai's strong financial resources. Mu Bai comes from the Hengyu family, one of the prosperous families of the Mu family, and it is not surprising that he has a flying carpet.
Mu Bai originally planned to ask the manservant to drag Wen Ying back to the slave house, but when he heard that Ivan Bus was using wisteria flower paste to heal Wen Ying's injuries, he immediately changed his mind and summoned the flying carpet.
Two male servants walked up to Wen Ying, lifted her, and put her on the flying carpet. The two of them walked towards the door one after the other. The flying carpet seemed to be well-versed in human nature, following behind the two of them, levitating forward at a speed similar to their footsteps.
When they arrived at the slave room, the two put Wen Ying on a small bed.
Under Mu Bai's arrangement, a female doctor wearing a pink round-necked long-sleeved robe soon came to the room to treat Wen Ying's injuries. The female physician took out a purple bottle that was crystal clear like a flower, and took out a thumb-sized purple plaster from it. The plaster took on a faint shiny purple color and began to be gently applied on Wen Ying's back.
Wen Ying woke up, she only felt that the plaster applied to her back was delicate and soft, and it exuded a faint refreshing fragrance, where the plaster was applied, there was a trace of coolness at first, and then she felt warm for a moment, very comfortable, and the pain was immediately reduced a lot.
After applying, the female doctor said, "The medicine has been applied, in order to ensure that the effect of the medicine is the best, you should not touch the water for a day." With that, he left. It seems that the rules in the Black Castle are strict, and the slave attendants dare not speak freely.
Wen Ying looked at the room, the room was very small, about seven or eight square meters. A small bed against the wall, the bed occupies the left half of the small room, the wall is earthy brown, Wen Ying touched the wall, it seems to be stone. There is a round thing like an alarm clock hanging at the head of the bed, the clock face is black, there are twelve small white dots on the edge of the clock face, the distance between the dots is equal, there is also a white dot in the center of the clock face, it should be an axis, two white needles are rotating 360 degrees around the center of the axis dot, one is slightly longer, and the other is slightly shorter.
To the right of the head of the bed is a wooden wardrobe with two doors. On the opposite side of the bed was a window, a real window, with two wooden windows that opened, through which you could see the clear blue sky outside. Under the window, a small rectangular yellow wooden table and two square stools. On the small wooden table there is a round kettle and two round water glasses. The kettle and cup look ceramic, brown, quaint and simple.
Thinking about the palace where she stayed on the first night, and thinking of the world of difference with Alice, Wen Ying felt a little melancholy in her heart.
I felt that my back was warm all the time, and it was extremely comfortable, and after lying down for a long time, the pain was gone. Wen Ying was overjoyed and thought: What is the plaster on her back? Is the pain-relieving effect so magical?
Lying on her back all the time, Wen Ying felt very uncomfortable, tried to turn over, and landed on her back. The weight of my body pressed down on my back, and I felt a little swollen and painful.
Less than two days after coming to Heaven, the fates of herself and Alice are so completely different, the difference between the world and the abyss, Wen Ying is in a very bitter mood, especially after the whipping, she wants to cry, but she can't cry.
Stretching her limbs, Wen Ying thought to herself: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." Get a good night's sleep first, and the sun will still rise tomorrow. Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk. After a while, he fell asleep.
Early in the morning, when I opened the door and saw Wen Ying sleeping soundly on the small bed, the two manservants glanced at each other.
"Poor woman. She was still asleep. Did she know she was going to be whipped today? ”
"She just needs to swear an oath, and she won't have to suffer from flesh and skin."
"Get her up quickly, it's too late, and we're going to be punished."
"Get up!" Wen Ying felt that someone was shaking her head vigorously. Opening her sleepy eyes, Wen Ying saw a man who looked like a manservant shaking his shoulders, and another manservant standing at the door.
Wen Ying felt that the slightest pain in her back was gone, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch her back, feeling that her skin was smooth, and blurted out: "How come the injuries on my back are all healed?" ”
"Hurry up and eat." The manservant replied and pointed to the table, "Come with us as soon as you're done." ”
Wen Ying was pulled up, pulled to the table, and even pushed directly onto the stool. There was an extra bowl of porridge on the table, and two things that resembled steamed buns.
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet?" Wen Ying looked at the manservant and looked at the food on the table.
The manservant at the door seemed to be a little impatient, and said in a rough voice: "Don't grind, it's too late, not only will you be whipped, but we will also be whipped, don't you bother us." ”
Wen Ying listened, stopped talking, picked up the kettle, the kettle had some weight, there was water in the kettle, poured a glass of water, and began to drink and eat.
After eating a steamed bun, Wen Ying looked up: "I'm full." The manservant motioned for Wen Ying to follow them.
Wen Ying followed behind the two male servants, walked out of the door, and found that there was an earthy brown stone house, the stone house was built in rows against a long and narrow hillside, from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope, there were six rows of stone houses, each row was very long, and I don't know how many stone houses. In front of each row of stone houses is a path paved with earthy brown stones. The stone house where Wen Ying is located, counting from the bottom of the slope, is the second row.
Go out and walk to the left, and after a while, there will be a stone staircase paved with earthy brown stones. Wen Ying looked back and saw that the stone staircase led all the way to the top of the mountain. It is estimated that there is more than one stone staircase like this, but this one is the closest to the house where Wen Ying is.
Descending the stone staircase, there is a lawn. The lawn is bordered by a green forest.
Wen Ying walked with the two male servants across the lawn and into the woods, where there was a stone path paved with brown stones, the stone path was quite wide, and it could be seen that people often walked back and forth between the woods and the stone houses, so the stone path was specially paved.
"Where are we going?" Wen Ying asked as she walked.
The two manservants didn't answer, but kept walking. After a while, walking out of the grove, Wen Ying only felt that the eyes suddenly opened up, it was a vast and boundless grassland, and not far away, there was a magnificent black castle. The castle is located in the middle of a verdant grassland, which makes the castle even more grandiose.
"Where are we going?" Wen Ying asked repeatedly.
"Grand Duke Ivan's Black Castle." A tall, lanky manservant replied impatiently.
"Black Castle. Grand Duke Ivan," Wen Ying muttered to herself. Thinking of yesterday's whipping, Wen Ying's heart couldn't help but tremble.
The Black Castle is magnificent in scale and consists of a group of palaces. The more she walked in, Wen Ying felt weird, the castle was surrounded by a black wall about three people high, the black wall was not made of marble, but pure black and clear black crystal, glittering. The entire castle was deserted, and there were no soldiers-like patrolling around the walls. The castle exudes a gloomy and cold atmosphere, which contrasts sharply with the vibrant green grasslands, and even the bright sunlight seems to have become dim when it reaches the Black Castle.
"Huh?" Wen Ying asked curiously, "Isn't it a castle?" Why is there no one? Didn't even have soldiers standing guard? ”
The two male servants did not answer, and led Wen Ying to a large door, which was about two people high, and it turned out to be the gate of the dark crystal.
Wen Ying looked at the dark crystal door and couldn't help but sigh: "Is it crystal?" Wouldn't the entire castle be made of dark crystal? You guys here are so rich. ”
The two manservants looked at Wen Ying and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking: This woman has taken the wrong medicine, and at this time, she actually cares if the black castle is made of black crystal?
"Such a large castle, is there no janitor? How to get in? Seeing that the dark crystal door was closed, Wen Ying couldn't help but mutter.
The thin and tall manservant looked at Wen Ying with contempt, and the square-faced manservant beside him replied, "Grand Duke Ivan has laid a divine barrier all around Castle Black, and it is difficult to enter without permission. The Protoss is extremely powerful, especially in the Light Age, and the palaces of the Protoss do not need soldiers to garrison. This is the door for slaves to enter and exit--"
"The door for slaves to enter and exit?" Wen Ying gestured at the size of the gate, and muttered in her heart: "The door for slaves to enter and exit is so big, so how grand is the main gate?" ”
The square-faced manservant stretched out his left hand, and saw a golden pattern appear on his left wrist, which was a circle, and within the circle was a five-pointed star. The pattern flickered before disappearing beneath the skin of his left wrist, without any trace, as if it had never existed.
The Dark Crystal door opened automatically.
The three of them walked through the door and entered Castle Black.
The golden logo, with a five-pointed star in the circle, is the family emblem of the Raphael clan of the Protoss Light Clan. This mark was imprinted by Grand Duke Ivan on the slave's left wrist with divine power. With this sigil, slaves can freely enter and exit the God's Barrier and enter Castle Black. And this mark, which also marks the ownership of the slave, is the slave of the Grand Duke Ivan.
In the kingdom of heaven, the mark of a slave man is on the left wrist, and the mark of a slave girl is on the right wrist. The imprint of the Protoss on the slave is imprinted into the body with divine power, and it is difficult to remove it for life unless it is unsealed by divine power.
The human race has a lowly status in the kingdom of heaven and has been enslaved for generations. Not only is he a slave of the Protoss, but he has also become a slave of the Demon Race and the alien race. The slave mark of the demon or alien race on the human race is directly branded on the wrist through a heated iron.
