Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Compared to the elegant and artistic Niclair Manor, the cold and dark dungeon in the northwest corner of the manor is like being in another world.

The dungeon of the Niclair family is divided into three layers, the overall structure is like an inverted pagoda, each layer of the dungeon is made of steel structure, built with solid bluestone, and the brick joints are also poured with molten iron, the whole dungeon is a fortress with strong defense to the extreme, in memory, Duran also asked his father Viscount Zack, but he doesn't seem to know very well, but it is said that this dungeon is from the ancestor of the Niclair family, the generation of the powerful black magician, began to build, As for why such a large dungeon was built enough to accommodate hundreds of prisoners, and whether such a large dungeon was too wasteful for a small family like the Niclair family, Viscount Zack was also unclear.

However, these things are not what Luo Yun needs to care about now, under the leadership of Kate, Luo Yun went down to the second floor of the dungeon with him, different from the first floor of the dungeon where the group was detained, there was already a distance of seven or eight meters from the ground, and the air was cold and humid, so that Luo Yun, who was still wearing spring and summer clothes, couldn't help but twitch his face, and Kate, who was wearing a set of heavy armor, was not affected by the cold at all, and still led the way in front of himKate took out a large number of brass keys, and it took a while to find three keys of the same shape, only slightly different in the teeth, and inserted them into the three keyholes on the iron door in order.

Three complicated magic arrays suddenly appeared on the rusty iron door with the three keys as the center, and the dense magic circuits on the three magic circles were docked one by one, and finally formed an inverted triangle with the three magic circles as the apex, only to hear a crisp click, and the door lock of the iron door slowly opened.

Luo Yun, who was standing behind Kate, couldn't help but secretly speak, this is a magic lock made by an alchemist, if someone tries to force the door open without using the key, a large amount of magic explosives hidden behind the door will send the prisoners and robbers inside into the air, and this kind of thing is generally only equipped in some prisons in the principality where felons are held.

Gently pushing open the heavy iron door, Kate turned around and asked in a low voice, "Lord Viscount, do you really need Kate to accompany you?" Although that old guy Sanders is suppressed by a prison weapon, I am still a little uneasy that there is no one by your side to protect me. ”

Gently patting Kate's shoulder, Luo Yun chuckled: "Don't worry, that guy Sanders was originally just a swordsman-level high-level strength, and he was beaten like that by blowing snow, leaving him outside No matter what I am afraid of him swallowing his own breath, and this is the highest-level cell on the second floor of the dungeon, and the prison equipment inside can only be opened with a magic crane for Andrew Knight, with Sanders' strength, even when he is alive, don't want to move the slightest, let alone now." ”

Kate touched his big head and smiled innocently, the loyal knight looked at Luo Yun's smiling face and said with some emotion: "Lord Viscount, Kate has not seen you smile so happily for a long time, all because of Sanders, an old guy, you must not let him go this time." ”

Luo Yun was slightly stunned, indeed, Du Lan has indeed lived a very depressed life in the past two years, the child who was just twelve or thirteen years old suddenly lost his parents, and he had to bear the wind and rain of the outside world before he came out of his grief, and the family knight entrusted with the important task was still a jackal in sheep's clothing, thinking all day long about how to kill him to seize the family's territory and property, the pain of losing his parents and the self-blame of the embezzlement of ancestral property, like a boulder pressing on his heart, how could he show the innocent smile that a child of this age should have.

The hatred for Sanders increased again, and Luo Yun nodded lightly and walked into the dimly lit cell.

Turning on the magic lamp in the cell casually, the blazing and dazzling light illuminated the entire cell, Luo Yun looked at Sanders, who was being suppressed by a huge prison tool in the center of the cell, and couldn't help but secretly speak, which was really a bit exaggerated.

Different from the handcuffs and shackles and even shackles and chains that Luo Yun was familiar with in his previous life, the volume of this prison tool is the only huge one seen in Luo Yun's life, covering an area of almost half a room, and it is also rough and almost stupid, its main body is three huge metal piers, each of which weighs thousands of catties, except for Sanders's torso, his left and right arms and legs are locked inside, and the joints are tightly seamed as if Sanders's limbs were born in these large iron piers.

It's no wonder that such a big guy needs to use a magic crane to turn it on.

It seemed to be awakened by the sound of Luo Yun opening the door, like a mosquito in amber, Sanders, who was trapped like a mosquito in amber, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Luo Yun, his face changed suddenly, and he just wanted to say something, but he seemed to be blocked by a mouthful of thick phlegm, and coughed violently.

Luo Yun didn't mean to help, so he found a chair and sat down, clubbing his chin and looking at Sanders, who was coughing so much that he almost vomited blood, and after a while, Sanders barely calmed down, took a few breaths, looked at Luo Yun and sneered: "Little bastard, do you think that defeating Uncle Sanders will save your life?" Those two stinky women are only about the strength of a sword master, such strength is not bad in Baishan Town, but what is it in the entire principality, do you think you can sit back and relax by hiding under their crotch? ”

On weekdays, Sanders considers himself a nobleman, and strives to be no different from a nobleman no matter how he dresses and talks, but now that he has become a prisoner of the ranks, the mercenary habits in his bones have resurfaced.

With a smile, Luo Yun nodded and said softly: "That's true, the big man behind you can casually send a sword master-level big thief, I think this sword master-level powerhouse outside Baishan Town may indeed be not very valuable, so I just wanted to ask what the identity of that big man is, and I should prepare early." ”

"Haha, do you know now that you're scared? It's late! Sanders' eyes lit up, and he laughed wildly and said, "You killed that adult's cronies, and you want him to let you go?" Also, are you begging for others now? Acquaintances quickly release Uncle Sanders out of this, and Lao Tzu can still plead for you in front of that adult. ”

Looking at Sanders like an idiot, Luo Yun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Are you thinking a little too much?" Released you? I'll tell you the truth, whether you say it today or not, you will definitely die. ”

“……”

Sanders suddenly felt that his brain seemed to be a little insufficient, Duran's little bastard was going to torture the identity of the adult from him, but what kind of attitude did he have.

Sanders himself has personally tortured prisoners, but the normal routine is not to persuade each other with good words first, and then coerce and seduce, and finally the prisoner will not reveal the truth if he can't survive the torture or can't resist the temptation, but Duran is nothing, as soon as he comes up, he tells the prisoner that he will be killed whether you say it or not, if the conditions don't allow it, Sanders is really like looking in a mirror to take a good look, doesn't he look like an idiot.

You still want to pry someone's mouth open like this? Will you? Especially seeing that Duran's face was full of seriousness and didn't look like he was joking, Sanders felt like he was going crazy, this kid wouldn't want to do it now.

"You colluded with the bandits to kill my parents, and I won't let you go no matter what, but if you're willing to cooperate, at least I'll give you a good time." Luo Yun clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Sanders and said.

Now that the words have been said to this point, Sanders simply let it go, and sneered: "Heh, Duran, you little bastard, don't look down on Uncle Sanders, both horizontal and vertical, if you have any tricks, just use them." ”

"You killed Saying, didn't you think that adult would give up? Once he frees up his hands to send a few real masters, you, Andrew, and those two stinky women will all have to die, big deal, Uncle Sanders, I will go first, and wait for you on the road. ”

Nodding slightly, since Sanders has put on this hob meat appearance, he thinks he is ready to be tortured, and this thing is a mercenary after all, although he has been pampered in recent years, but after all, he still has the strength of a high-level swordsman, and the general torture may not be able to pry his mouth open, and the most important thing is that he has been seriously injured by the main cannon of the blowing snow, and he has been suppressed by these big iron piers, and now at most only half a foot is still stepping on the sun, if he can't survive the torture, what if he swallows this breath completely, There was no valuable information from Melo, and it would be a bit of a problem if Sanders's clue was broken again.

sighed softly, although this method is a bit inferior, but now I can't care about it so much.

Seeing that Sanders looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Luo Yun said in a low voice: "Do you know what Andrew did after taking in your group?" ”

Sanders smiled coldly, did not speak, but there was a slight pang in his heart, after his group was detained for nearly two hours, Duran came to interrogate him, originally he thought that Duran this kid had already slept and was ready to interrogate him tomorrow morning, but it seems that things are not like this?

Seeing that Sanders didn't speak, Luo Yun didn't care, and said to himself: "After sending you to the dungeon, Melo committed suicide, and I wanted to have a good talk with you at that time, but at this time Kate suddenly found a letter that was shot in by a good Samaritan with a crossbow arrow, which said that someone was dragging his family and preparing to escape from Baishan Town overnight, and I could only ask Knight Andrew for help, he led people to chase them for more than half an hour before intercepting them at the border of Baishan Town, and after interrogation, it was found that they were also surnamed Curry, which is really a coincidence, there are so many people in Baishan Town." , there aren't many families with the surname Curry, don't you say, Your Excellency Sanders Curry? ”

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and Sanders reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "So what? There are at least a dozen people with the surname Curry in Baishan Town. ”

"So will you send five private guards for each of the more than ten families surnamed Curry?" Looking at Saunders's pale face, Luo Yun smiled lightly and said: "Everyone is a smart person, so don't talk this nonsense, to tell you the truth, Your Excellency Sanders, your parents, the venerable old blacksmith Curry and his wife, your two younger brothers and all their families are now in my hands." ”

Closing his eyes in pain, Sanders lamented, "So what? Even if I tell you who he is, you will still die, Duran, you have no idea how terrible that adult's power is. ”

"That's not your concern, you just need to tell me who he is, and then die in peace, I can promise you that I will never do anything to your family."

After being silent for a long time, Sanders shook his head in Luo Yun's cold gaze: "I won't tell you, even if you know his identity, you can't change the end of the complete extinction of the Niclair family, and if I betray that adult, my family will still inevitably die, but in your hands, maybe my brother and I will be killed, but you won't hurt my parents, Duran, I still know a little about you, those who may threaten you, you won't let go, but like my parents, two old men, You won't touch them. ”

"The most important thing is that Andrew's chivalry does not allow him to sit back and watch such a thing happen, if you must kill them, the price is to let Andrew and you completely separate, for the sake of these two old men who are no threat to you, you will not be willing to give up.

A little surprised, Sanders looked at him, this guy is indeed a smart man.

Nodding appreciatively, Luo Yun chuckled and said, "Indeed, I won't let Andrew and me separate from me because of your parents." ”

Looking at Sanders's slightly relaxed face, Luo Yun smiled maliciously: "But you, your brother and all their family members will die a painful death after countless cruel tortures in public, and then your corpses will be hung on the big trees outside Baishan Town to be pecked by those birds who are a little interested in you, and with the current weather, two days, well, at most three days, the food in your stomach will gradually ferment, you may not know what fermentation is, but it doesn't matter, All you have to know is that the gas will make your belly swell like a pregnant woman, and finally, with a bang, the juice will pop open. Of course, there are two special audiences who must watch this process the whole time. ”

Sanders's face changed suddenly, and he was about to say something but was interrupted, so he could only listen to Luo Yun chuckle and say: "And I, the ancestor is the heir of the Niclair family of the black magician, and I will cast a small magic on them to deepen their memory, you know, the black magicians are all masters of playing with the soul, and that ancestor naturally left his inheritance in the family, and although I don't have any magic talent, this kind of superficial magic can still be used, and this kind of magic was used by me to memorize the score of the dulcimer. The effect is very good, and your screams and terrible corpses before death will be their eternal nightmares to accompany them until old age, and you can rest assured that I will arrange for someone to take care of their daily life to ensure that they can live to the end of their lives consciously. ”

A little trembling and exhaled a long breath, Sanders laughed miserably and said, "Aren't you afraid of being hated by the people when you do this kind of thing, and that lord ......"

"Please be considerate of a child who has lost both parents at the age of twelve, and it is not incomprehensible that he would do something excessive under the impetus of hatred, and how many contemptible knights of a treacherous lord would give you those cheap sympathies."

"And most importantly, do you really think I'm going to be killed by the master sent by that big man anytime soon? Do you really think that Blowing Snow is the kind of person who can meet them casually, and then casually follow a small nobleman? ”

Looking at the mocking and malicious smile on Luo Yun's face at this moment, Sanders sighed lightly and said, "You really colluded with the families behind those big chambers of commerce, which family dares to do this?" Calran, Beuys, or something else? ”

Previously, Saunders and his party hastily attacked Niclair Manor because they mistakenly believed that Luo Yun had reached an agreement with a certain family, and Luo Yun simply made a mistake and pulled himself into a tiger skin, calling out some ill-intentioned people.

"Don't say it so ugly, it's an alliance but not a collusion, as for which family it is, you don't care, you just need to know that there is a respectable Excellency who will be stationed in Baishan Town as the business representative of that family, accompanied by a large number of strong people of that family, maybe his strength is not as good as that big man, but unless the two families want to start a full-scale war, the big man's plan to send his masters to attack the Niclair family will be shelved for a long time."

Looking condescendingly at Sanders, who suddenly lost his luster in his eyes, Luo Yun shouted coldly: "Then what about your choice, Your Excellency Sanders?" ”

With a somewhat self-deprecating smile, a faint despair flashed in Sanders' eyes, and he whispered, "You won, Lord Duran." ”
