Chapter 5: Ascot
A faint glow shone through the slits, but it couldn't reach the darkness of the room.
In the darkness, his vision became clearer, even clearer than in the daytime, as if he was a presence in the darkness in the first place, little Lancy curled up in his arms, absorbing the magic of Sossi, and she seemed to fall into some kind of deep sleep.
He and Lancey were kept in confinement all night, with magical barriers placed over the walls to prevent them from escaping.
Sosi didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but even if he didn't, Lance estimated that he would be dead.
Kneading Lance's supple hair, the little one slept soundly because Lance was by her side.
Thinking about how to solve this matter, as Sosi's father, even if Sosi was the third son, the baron would not sit idly by, and the priest was obviously the one who instructed him, and he seemed to have some grudge against Lance as the only survivor of the village of Sit, claiming that they were the sons of calamity.
The situation is very serious, he has nothing to do with the baron, he can't calm the baron's anger, the worst is to be sentenced to death for murder, if this is the case, he will take all the blame and directly admit that he is the murderer who destroyed the village of Sit, and Lancy is the one who was coerced by him, so that all the attention is focused on himself, and at the same time, with the only money left, he should be able to send Lancy out of here and go to the Holy Cross Church in another city.
This is the worst-case scenario, and it is also the limit of what Lance can do, as for what Lance will do in the future, it is really not within his consideration.
Slightly better, they were reduced to slavery and sent elsewhere, but at least he and Lancey wouldn't die, and as long as they didn't die, Lance was sure that he would be able to turn over with Lance.
His gaze became sharper and sharper, and it could be said that all of this was caused by his lack of magic.
When this matter is over, if there is a chance, he will definitely go to find out how to awaken the magic power, and have ready-made strength in order to survive in this strange world, at least to occupy some initiative.
And unlike now, a shock can be slaughtered.
"Squeak", the door opened, a tall figure stood there, Lance's pupils contracted, and he quickly identified this person, and there was a silver mark on the golden Holy Cross printed on the dark robe, which should be the administrator of the Holy Cross Church here, that is, the priest in the mouth of the priest.
Is it here to pronounce the final verdict?
No matter how calm Lance is, he can't help but feel a little heartbeat at this time.
"My name is Ashi, and I'm the administrator of the Holy Cross Church here, are you hungry?" the gentle tone seemed to calm Lance's nervousness.
Ascot smiled kindly, his kind gaze moving over Lance and Lancey, but keen sense told Lance that there was a curiosity in his gaze.
"A little. ”
Judging from the tone of Ascot, the result seemed to deviate from Lance's expectations, and this matter should not end so simply.
"Come with me. ”
Lance picked up Lance on his back and followed him, not meeting anyone along the way, the more he walked forward, the stronger the smell of blood in the air that could not be smelled by ordinary people became stronger in Lance's senses, making his nerves tense.
Lance stopped decisively.
"What's wrong?" Ascot turned around, his calm face hiding the slightest hint of longing as much as possible, but it couldn't escape Lance's eyes, which made Lance feel cold in his vest.
"Master Asco, this is not the way to the cafeteria. ”
"I'm the manager here, can I get lost?" said Ascot chuckled, approaching Lance step by step.
Lance immediately turned and ran, but his feet felt like they were stuck in the mud, and he couldn't move the slightest.
Level 2 Two-Star Magic: Bondage
Can bind beings below the caster's mana level.
While the distance between the two was narrowing, Lance became more and more clearly aware of the indelible smell of blood surrounding Ascot, which was something that ordinary people could not detect, and only a person like Lance, who was congenitally sensitive to blood to the limit, could find it.
The smell was so strong that it was in the air, and it was the Ascot that was the source of the blood.
It smells of dead people's blood, and it's the result of killing the fresh blood of the dead many times.
"Lance, you're a smart kid. Heavy words, slowly intensifying gasps, this is a voice that is longing to distort.
Where did he know me? The priest, Peel, the Baron, News?
Many thoughts that come to mind in a flash flash, these people are possible!
"However, there is no reward for smart children with me. ”
"What do you want to do?"
Lance became more and more calm, shouting is not okay, everyone here should be separated.
As the administrator of the Holy Cross Church in Lil, Ascot is at least a beginner magician, with a magic level of 100 or even above 100, and it is impossible to escape.
"I want the secret of this girl behind you. ”
"Secret, you're from the Dark Cross Church!" Lance's face became darker and darker.
Ascot stood in front of him, Lance's judgment made him unable to hide the surprise in his heart any longer, "You actually know this. ”
The Church of the Dark Cross, as the name suggests, is the opposite of the Holy Cross, the two are mortal enemies, the Holy Cross Church is a group of helpers, and the Dark Cross Church is a group of madmen, a group of madmen who love research and will do whatever it takes.
It was Lancey's performance that attracted him! People who were very human were the best research material for the people of the Dark Cross Church.
If he doesn't want anything to happen to Lancey, then Lance has to prove that he is more valuable than Lancey, or they both will die.
"Let Lancy go, what she can do, I can do. ”
Lance's words really attracted Ascot.
Putting away the thoughts in his mind, Ashi looked at him suspiciously, "Oh?"
Taking advantage of this moment, Lance punched Arthur fiercely, and a gray magic barrier lit up, blocking his fist.
Median Magician! This Assant is a Median Magician! Mana level is at least 800!
"Dare to do it!" "Dare to do it!" Ash was a little angry, and when he was about to teach Lance a lesson, he was attracted by Lance's hand, because the back of his hand that was invaded and destroyed by his gray magic quickly covered with a layer of dark red, and at a speed he could see, it recovered little by little, and not a drop of blood flowed out in the process.
This is not magic, but the healing power that comes from the flesh itself, and that layer of dark red is unknown to me, but it can actually dissolve the magic of invasion.
As if discovering a new world, Ashi's eyes became brighter and brighter, compared to Lance's ability to absorb energy, there is no doubt that Lance's is more peculiar, and it is more in line with Asco's current research purpose!
"Then why can't I have it with the two of you?" said Ascot with greed in his eyes.
Asco's heart-warming look made Lance more sure, "Indeed, Master Ascot, you can do this." ”
"But you will lose a material that is willing to actively cooperate with your research, and the progress of your research will be much slower, and I have heard that many scholars of the Dark Cross Church have died of exhaustion because they want to juggle multiple studies, Master Ashi, don't you want to follow in this footsteps. ”
The people of the Dark Cross Church like to call themselves masters, and Ascot is happy that Lance calls him that.
If the first curiosity of Yashi is Lance's physique, then the second curiosity is his calm and calm attitude.
Even though he knew that he was a member of the Dark Cross Church, he could still keep it like this, and besides, what Lance said was true.
He really wanted to dig out Lance's brain to see what kind of structure it was, and to make Lance behave like this, then this Lance was very important to him.
"You're a smart kid. Ascot clapped his hands heartily.
"Come with me, and we'll see where you 'work' in the future. ”
The restraints under his feet were gone, and Ascot walked past him, and since Lance was a smart man, he should know the consequences of escaping from a mid-rank magician.
