Chapter 21: The Confession of Allegiance
Wen Ying had no idea how she had come to Castle Black from Holy Square, and even until she was pulled into a spacious room by the manservant, Wen Ying was still in a trance.
This room is a room in the west side of Castle Black's hall dedicated to the "confession of allegiance" ceremony for slaves.
Grand Duke Ivan sat in a tall black chair, and behind him stood an older butler-looking old man on his right, dressed in a round-necked, long-sleeved, taupe robe.
"Mubai, let's get started." The icy voice of Grand Duke Ivan rang out in the empty room.
"Yes". It was the old man who was called Mu Bai, and after seeing him respectfully respond to Grand Duke Ivan, he shouted calmly at Wen Ying: "Wen Ying, kneel!" ”
Wen Ying didn't seem to hear Mu Bai's order, and still stood in a trance.
Mu Bai cautiously said to Ivan: "It seems that this earthling has not come to his senses yet. Then he made a gesture to the manmaid behind Wen Ying, and the two manservants behind Wen Ying, one left and one right, pressed Wen Ying to kneel on the floor.
Wen Ying came back to her senses and struggled to get up: "What are you doing?" The two manservants pressed Wen Ying's shoulders hard, and Wen Ying struggled for a while, unable to get up. Wen Ying really came back to her senses now and began to look at where she was.
It is a spacious room, the room is surrounded by transparent ice crystals on all sides, and the whole room is brightly lit. In the huge room, only in the center was a tall black high-backed chair, and a long-haired blond man in a purple long-sleeved robe with black trim sat casually on the chair, his right hand supporting his chin, and his elbow propped up on the armrest on the right side of the chair. The man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a full forehead, a firm nose, a resolute chin, and only a black blindfold around his eyes. Even with a black blindfold around his eyes, it didn't damage his handsome face. It's just a black blindfold, which makes his fair face more and more pale. The man in purple exuded a cold aura all over his body, and his momentum was compelling.
The purple-clothed man's face was cold and calm, and the black blindfold made Wen Ying feel extremely weird, and her heart was furious, and at the same time, she couldn't help but sigh: It's really morbid and beautiful.
"Estimated to be blind." Wen Ying pondered, "He is Grand Duke Ivan?" The Emperor of Heaven gave me to this man as a slave? ”
Behind the purple-clothed man, on the right side, there is an old man wearing a round-necked, long-sleeved gray-brown robe, the old man is about sixty years old, with brown and gray hair, two deep wrinkles on his forehead, a pair of purple eyes with bright eyes, a hooked nose, and the corners of his mouth seem to be smiling, which is difficult to understand.
Wen Ying felt that the old man's stern eyes were staring at her.
The old man said sharply: "Wen Ying, His Majesty the Venerable Emperor has already rewarded you to Grand Duke Ivan as a slave. Grand Duke Ivan is the only Marquis of the Raphael clan of the Light Clan of the Protoss, and his title is Marquis Raphael. From now on, you are the slave of the Marquis of Raphael, and your life and everything you have belongs to the Marquis of Raphael! You must swear allegiance to the Marquis of Raphael, Grand Duke Ivan. Put your right hand on your chest and take an oath that is: From now on, I am a slave belonging to the Marquis of Raphael, and I swear to the divine light source that I, and everything I have, belong to the Marquis of Raphael, Grand Duke Ivan, and I swear allegiance to the death to the Marquis of Raphael, Grand Duke Ivan. If there is any betrayal, it will be disposed of. ”
Wen Ying woodenly repeated Mu Bai's words.
After listening to Wen Ying's oath, Grand Duke Ivan straightened up, no longer supporting his chin with his right hand, but snapped his fingers.
Seeing Grand Duke Ivan's actions, the two male servants who were originally behind Wen Ying immediately spread out left and right, no longer pressing Wen Ying's shoulders.
Wen Ying was puzzled and was about to get up, only to hear a "snap" sound behind her, and a sharp pain immediately came from her back, and Wen Ying fell to the ground all of a sudden. It turned out that there was a tall male attendant behind Wen Ying, holding a whip as thick as a black thumb and about two meters long, and whipped Wen Ying's back fiercely. The snapping of the fingers of Grand Duke Ivan turned out to be a gesture of whipping.
"There's no loyalty." Mu Bai said calmly, "If you don't suffer a little, you won't know the duty of being a slave." Re-swearing! ”
Wen Ying was also ruthless, struggled to get up from the ground, and shouted: "Then you can beat me to death, I would rather die than be a slave!" ”
Grand Duke Ivan sneered lightly at the corner of his mouth, and snapped his fingers again with his right hand. The second whip was more ruthless than the first, and Wen Ying fell directly to the ground in pain. For the first time, Wen Ying experienced the feeling of "not wanting to live", it turned out that the pain could be so painful, and the whole back seemed to be torn apart.
"Want to die?" Grand Duke Ivan's cold voice sounded, "In Castle Black, death is easy, life is hard. I'll let you live, not to, and die. ”
Hearing Grand Duke Ivan's cold voice, Wen Ying shuddered. What kind of person would have such a cold voice?
"Why don't you hurry up and retake the oath? Quickly get up and kneel and retake the oath. Mubai's tone seemed a little worried.
Wen Ying endured the pain, she was so painful that she couldn't get up, the whole person was lying on the ground, Wen Ying raised her head, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "**! You're just going to kill me! I won't swear it either! ”
"Smack", another whip. "Ah", Wen Ying screamed, Wen Ying couldn't even raise her head this time. Wen Ying only felt that her back was as hot as a fire, and an incomparable pain spread from her back to her whole body, and Wen Ying even felt that her back was torn in half. Wen Ying was so painful that her lips were bitten and bleeding. The screaming just now was instinctive, and now Wen Ying is so painful that she doesn't even have the strength to breathe, and she can't scream in pain, she can only hum like an injured deer.
Mu Bai looked at Wen Ying's appearance and whispered: "Grand Duke, she doesn't seem to be able to resist, and if she is whipped again, she will faint." ”
"Humph!" Grand Duke Ivan snorted coldly and snapped his fingers again.
The male attendant with the whip whipped Wen Ying who was lying on the ground.
Wen Ying moved, but there was no sound, it seemed that the person had fainted in pain.
Grand Duke Ivan got up and said coldly: "What is useless, I fainted after only four lashes." Drag her to the slave house. Grand Duke Ivan turned back to Mu Bai and said, "Apply purple flower paste to her." ”
Purple carrot flower cream? Mu Bai was stunned.
Seeing Mu Bai's puzzled look, a sneer appeared on Grand Duke Ivan's face: "If you don't let her recover quickly, how can you continue to whip tomorrow?" ”
Mu Bai's heart trembled and he stopped making a sound.
Purple carrot ointment, the most effective plaster for the treatment of trauma, was originally a tribute exclusively for the gods. However, the Protoss was born with divine powers, and injuries were rarely seen in the Light Age, so the Protoss often rewarded the demons with purple carol ointment. Slaves were injured with ordinary plasters, and whiplashes like this took more than ten days to recover from as fast as possible, and more than a month to recover from slow wounds. Purple carrot flower cream, used on the gods or demons, can be recovered in an instant, and when used on the human race, whiplash can be recovered overnight.
Let Wen Ying apply wisteria flower ointment to make her recover from whiplash injuries overnight, just to whip her again tomorrow. The manservant standing on the side shuddered when he heard this, and looked at the back of Grand Duke Ivan leaving, and his heart was terrified.
