Chapter 14: The Torturer

"It's a dragon! A dragon has attacked Helgen! The townsfolk are dead, and the two of us are going to escape from the cave at the bottom of the fortress. ”

"A dragon ......" the torturer fell into deep thought.

Hadava noticed that from the beginning, only the torturer was talking to the two, and the rest were all there like scarecrows, motionless. But he was wise enough not to ask too much, just to ignore the strange people.

By the way, you have to be optimistic about Bernardo, who knows what strange things this teenager will do......

Well? What about people?

Hadava was startled, and Bernardo walked through the hellish scene to a cage on the other side.

"Fancy that robe? Well? The torturer gave him a lazy look, "That cage broke a few months ago, and the man died for months...... If you can open it, it's yours. ”

"......" Bernardo didn't speak, just gently stroked the bloodstained and rusty cage frame with his fingers.

Suddenly, he slammed his forceβ€”

Click! The cage was the most fragile, and the pillar that was the most corroded was directly ripped off by the boy. Watching the iron fence as thick as a beer bottle cap being torn open with his bare hands, Hadava was dumbfounded and watched with his mouth wide open as the boy dragged out the corpse inside, looting the deceased's belongings.

"The potion is dry...... Two Spell ...... Hmph...... "He casually threw away the first two things he took out, and the young man finally dragged out the robe, bounced off the dust, and looked at it carefully.

"This newcomer you're looking for is very capable." The torturer replied nonchalantly, and several corpses beside him had begun to "click", "Those books seem to be the standard textbooks of Winterhold Academy, and they are treasures that many wild wizards who have no way to learn are willing to exchange their lives for...... He threw it away without even looking at it. The vision is quite high, is it only the handwriting of Master Salidor that has entered his eyes? ”

"Don't be weird, necromancer." Bernardo shouted, but his voice was extremely hoarse, "If it weren't for the special circumstances, you would have died at my hands long ago." ”

"Oh? Then you might as well give it a try. The torturer's sleek tone became dangerous, and the other "people" who had been watching had a fierce look in their eyes.

"I can kill you with one hand, bastard." Bernardo stood with his hands in his hands, and several dangerous clouds of magic energy coalesced and formed around him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Very, sorry! Hadava quickly stepped forward, "We just want to get through here quickly!" Nothing else! ”

"Really? Then I won't leave you behind, let's go. The torturer who found himself under the stairs ignored the cold sweat on his forehead - when the several clouds of magic energy were formed just now, he knew that he was no match for the young man in front of him at all, and the vicious taunt was just his own subconscious behavior that he was accustomed to by abusing the weakβ€”β€”, and waved his hand as if he was about to move, and the dead corpses who were about to move stopped moving.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hum. The young man, who had thought for a few seconds before finally eliminating his magical energy, just grabbed the robe, glared at him fiercely, and turned to leave. Hadava hurried to follow.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

It wasn't until the two of them reached the bottom of the fortress, a few hundred meters away from the torture room, that Hadava let out a deep breath of turbidity.

"Your Imperial Legion, using necromancers as torturers? That must be a lot of credit. Bernardo looked at Hadava mockingly. After coming out of that room, the boy's words suddenly increased.

"No...... I don't know who he really is. "It was a great honor for the Nords to be able to return to Songgard after death, and even though Hadava was now in the Imperial camp and was the enemy of the Stormcloak, he had never thought of depriving the Nord brothers of the right to pursue the heroic path, and the necromancer's actions undoubtedly made him unhappy.

"I see." Bernardo sighed, "If you knew him, he probably wouldn't want to 'collect' with you." ”

"Collection?" Cold sweat flowed from the corners of Hadava's forehead, "You mean, turned into a dead body......"

"Those dead soldiers have already been spelled by the Death Slave, but his cultivation is too low, so it takes a long time to gradually take shape." Bernardo said nonchalantly, "He wanted to control the group of golems and attack you, but I interrupted him. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you. Hadava thanked him repeatedly. He wasn't the kind of person who didn't know the times, and although he didn't know the true strength of the boy, the fact that he knew that he dared to taunt the torturer head-on in the face of the necromantic army, and the obvious timidity of the torturer after the boy showed his magical powers, was enough to make him respectβ€”too, the man himself didn't seem to have committed a crime, but was caught in a daze when he crossed the border, and the wayward captain wanted to put him to death. While much of the Nord's respect was given to warriors who were known for their physical prowess, Hadava was more open-minded and had a great respect for powerful and decent magicians.

"There's no need." Bernardo sighed softly, "I should thank you for giving me a way to leave the fortress without causing a stir......"

"Not a sensation?" Hadava was puzzled.

"You don't think I'm going to lie there and be beheaded, do you?" Bernardo smiled, "Originally, if the dragon hadn't appeared, I would have directly used magic to bombard the surrounding Imperial soldiers, and then forcibly broke through." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But, in that case, you're bound to be on the wanted list of the Imperial Legion, right? Hadava asked uncertainly. As someone who had seen on the battlefield how powerful the mage's output ability was, he would not question the boy's words, "It's very inconvenient in Skyrim. ”

"yes...... It's not that I'm afraid of chasing and killing, those who take money can settle it, but it's obviously a lot of money...... You've saved me a lot of money, and I should thank you. Bernardo replied in a serious manner, but the content was very subtle to Hadava.

"Oh my God, can such a thing be settled with money? How corrupt are the people above? This is the inner complaint of Hadawa at the moment. However, the actual operation was not as simple as he thought, and Bernardo did not tell him what he meant.

"It's just a pity, there are so many corpses of the Nord brothers up there......" After a moment of silence, Hadava's deep voice came again.

"Well, there's no need to worry." Bernardo smiled dangerously, "How can that bastard dare to offend me like that, and blaspheme the dead, so easily?" ”

"You?"

"I also know some necromancy, and I use it better than he does...... It's just that I don't like to use it, it's despised by academic wizards. ”

"So?"

"But I can use it in reverse, like cracking that person's manipulation spell and making his necromancy ...... Slightly out of control. ”

"Ah......h

"If something happens to him, this necromancy will naturally be lifted."

And in the torture room a hundred meters away, the torturer, who was surrounded by the undead who suddenly went berserk, swallowed his last breath. With his death, the black filth around him was entangled, and his soul was also rested.
