Chapter 103: Torture
In the darkness, Cole felt like he was falling from a great height, and the next moment, he literally landed on the hard ground and knocked him unconscious.
When he woke up again, in addition to the death pain in his cheeks, there was also a sharp pain in his forehead.
He was tightly tied to a chair, his head was covered by a black cloth bag, and he couldn't see anything, but judging by the footsteps moving around him, the group of women was all around him.
Cole ...... The knight turned out to be a lackey of the Church. ”
The witches are tinkering with what Cole has touched, and the silver knight's medal stands out.
"No, I have nothing to do with the church. Cole said, fighting the pain in his cheek.
Hearing Cole's answer, a woman walked over, and Cole also smelled a strange scent.
"And you're a witch dealer?" said the woman, holding a cold dagger to his neck as a way to show that lying would not end well.
"It's not. Cole replied calmly.
"I'd advise you to tell the truth, who would spread such stupid rumors except the church and the witch traffickers. The woman clearly didn't believe him, and the blade of the dagger stabbed slightly into his skin.
"Helmut, can you be gentle after receiving so many gold coins from me?" Savoring the fragrance on the other party's body, he already recognized the other party, although the voice was completely different, but he still said it.
"I didn't expect to be recognized by you. ”
With a swing of his dagger, Helmut slashed through the black cloth bag that had been placed on his head.
Opening his eyes, Cole found that it was a dilapidated chamber, the surrounding stone walls were full of mottled and corroded marks, the faint candle flame was beating from time to time, there were two women in front of him, but he didn't know any of them, the woman with the dagger had a sneer on her face, but she was very well dressed, not the scantily dressed escort girl before, and the other woman named Feiyun was shrouded in a cloak and could not be seen.
"Are you Helmut?" Cole wondered.
"Don't repeat these stupid questions, tell me what your purpose is, maybe then you can still have a chance to live. Helmut waved his hand, and a white mist suddenly wrapped around Cole's neck.
Feeling the mist around his neck gradually tighten, Cole hurriedly said, "It's the Witch Alliance looking for you." ”
"The Witches?" the witches looked at each other, and Helmut continued, "What kind of organization is that?"
"It's the same as the word suggests. ”
"Do you still have to quibble, how can the Witch League let a knight spread the word?"
"Because my master is the leader of the Witches' Alliance. ”
Cole replied very calmly, which was enough to surprise the witches, because when other people saw the witch before, they were either scared or screamed, and this fellow named Cole didn't seem surprised to see the witch.
"Who is your master?"
"Rafa Hevian. ”
When Cole said the name, the witches were a little stunned.
"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Helmut felt that Cole was teasing her, so he slapped Cole in the face with a dagger, "Don't think I'm a woman and I'm merciful, sometimes...... Women will be more ferocious than men. ”
"It may sound incredible, but I'm telling the truth, His Highness Rafa has led the witches to take root in Icefield City, and the purpose of my spread of the news is not to let the witches go to the Orr Mountains, but to Icefield City, where the Icefield City will be able to shelter the witches. Cole didn't seem to see the dagger in front of him, and his tone remained unhurried.
"How could a witch be willing to let a man be the leader?"
"Because ......" Cole had never thought about this question, and he was a little confused for a while, but this question might be a matter of life and death, so he had to forcibly make up a sentence, "Because His Highness Rafa's wife and the mistress of Icefield City, His Highness Philicill...... She is also a witch. ”
Cole hadn't asked Katya about Felihill, and he had never thought she might be a witch, but now that the situation was critical, he had to break the news that could keep him alive, but he didn't expect that he had guessed correctly what he had made up.
"What!?"
Sure enough, the witches were very surprised, Byron's pearl, the daughter of the Archduke Hyperion, turned out to be a witch, but the end of their attention was not here, they were surprised that there were humans who would accept witches.
Helmut was about to scold him, but another possibility came to mind, "If what this guy said is true, the witch named Felihill must be a nightmare, she manipulated Rafa's consciousness and used him as a puppet." ”
"His Highness Rafa is not a puppet, he has knowledge and wisdom that even witches can't grasp, and I can tell that the two of them really love each other. Cole finally stopped and was a little louder.
"Nonsense!" Helmut scolded, "how could any human accept a witch?, oh, I see! It must have been that Rafa guy who deceived Felicille and used her as a tool, otherwise why wasn't the leader of the Witch League Felicille himself?"
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, and finally stabbed the dagger directly into Cole's shoulder.
"You don't understand anything!Why can't humans be united with witches?Katya is also a witch, but I still love her dearly!" Cole cried out through gritted teeth, despite the sharp pain in his shoulder.
"Oh, your wife is a witch?" Helmut was intrigued.
"Katya and I are not married yet, but I vow to marry her in the future. ”
"What kind of witch is she?"
"Maybe it's the Ice Witch, I don't know, Katya rarely shows her magic in front of me, I just remember one time I was injured and she froze my wounds. ”
"Stupid, that's the Water Witch. At this point, Helmut was already convinced, pulled the dagger out of him, and said behind him, "Shadow, help him stop the bleeding." ”
Cole realized that there was a witch behind him.
A dark shadow trickled down his neck, finally covering the wound on his shoulder, which was still painful, but had stopped bleeding.
"Tell me how many witches there are in the Magic Alliance. Helmut asked, clasping his hands.
"Sixteen or seventeen, I don't know. ”
"So many?" Helmut was a little surprised, "Are there any gray hairs?"
"There are two, one that controls the flames and the other I don't know, but I've seen her use magic to turn the plains into a big pit, and now somewhere has become a big lake. ”
"Can turn the plains into a great lake?" Helmut and Feiyun glanced at each other, which is indeed something that only a white-haired witch can do, "Isn't it true that the people of Icefield City are afraid of such amazing magic?"
"Anyone who has come into contact with Shi Nai knows that she is a kind girl, and no one is afraid of a beautiful and kind girl. ”
Helmut then asked him to describe in detail the witches he had seen and their magic.
So Cole had to tell all the witches he knew, such as Cole the Wood Witch, Shirley the Healing Witch, Lena the Wind Witch, and Elleheda the Flame Witch.......
Helmut confirmed from his detailed description that what he said was true, for no one who had not been in contact with witches could not describe their magic so clearly.
"Feiyun, untie him. ”
"Hmm. ”
Feiyun replied silently, only to dodge back to the same place, and Cole, who was a little stunned, realized that the ropes that bound his hands and feet had all broken, so he stood up covering the wound on his shoulder.
"If a witch goes to Icefield City, how do you contact the Witch Alliance?" Helmut took out a cigarette and didn't light it.
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion can solve all problems. ”
"So how do we make sure it's not a trap?"
"I don't know. Cole said stiffly.
"Sorry, I was a little heavier. Helmut didn't continue to ask, handing him the package on the table, including the previous hundred gold coins, "You can go." ”
Cole, who had escaped death, sighed in his heart, took the package, endured the pain and walked behind her, just about to push open the rotten wooden door, he finally couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Are you really Helmut in the White Rose Tavern?"
Helmut was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, waved his hand gently, white smoke gathered, and a scantily clad escort girl slowly took shape, she stood with the real Helmut, two completely different styles, one hot and wild, the other quiet and reserved.
"I see. ”
Cole finally came to his senses and pushed the door open.
When he went out, he found a remote street in front of him, and after walking for a while towards the place where there was a fire, he finally made out the location of the hotel.
"Feiyun and Shadow, do you think what he said can be trusted?"
In the secret room, the three of them looked at each other, and they couldn't agree on the results, even if everything Cole said was so true, but they didn't want to believe a man's words easily.
"There's no way, I just have to go to Icefield City, if it's fake, it's a big deal to come back and continue to open the tavern." Helmut put his cigarette on the candle flame and lit it, then took a deep breath.
She doesn't like the current life of entertaining people with illusions, and if there really is a place to shelter witches, she will definitely go and see it.
Seeing Kyle and the other knights' concerned eyes again, Cole felt that he had finally come back to life, but he didn't notice that the shadow behind him seemed to be thicker.
