Chapter XXVII

Before Owen's consciousness completely vanished, he only felt himself being tied upside down in the saddle, and the pitch-black prairie retreated rapidly......

I don't know how long it took, when the severe headache once again occupied his whole body, he knew that he had woken up, and in a daze, Owen seemed to hear someone say: Hell, this sick man is a poor ghost, and there are only a dozen copper coins on him

Another said, "It's useless to keep it and slaughter it."

The third man said: It should be useful not to spare his life

Owen slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in a place like a cave, his upper body was bare, wearing only a pair of autumn pants, his hands were tied behind his back, and in front of him stood more than two dozen strong men, some searching through the clothes and packages stripped from him, some of them were surrounding and talking

Sir, I don't understand what the use of keeping this sick tuberculosis is, and I can't do it, Owen saw a man with a spear say to a tall, thin man in a black leather jacket

Of course it works, don't you see this tuberculosis on his body, the tall and thin man raised something in his hand

Others called him a sir, and this man should have come to be their leader, and he must have received formal military training when he stood upright

Oh, this is the seal of the puppet king of Duris, could this guy be a secret envoy from the royal capital, a dwarf asked

It's impossible, look at how his poor and sour appearance could be the secret envoy of the puppet king

But how can the letter explain that I have checked it as if it were fake

Steal it

There is another possibility

What the

The poor ghost was a follower of the secret envoy, and he was separated from his master

Sir, just tell us what we should do

The chief glanced at Owen: Wake him up, whether this guy is a thief or a follower, only he knows where the secret envoy is

What are you doing with that secret envoy, we are enemies with those guys, a fat man said

The chief patted the fat man's head: Think about it with your brain, why did the pseudo-king send a secret envoy to these remote areas for no reason, don't you want to know the reason behind it

He wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Yale Empire in the north to send troops to it

These strategic matters are not for us to consider, but as long as we can catch the puppet king's secret envoy and interrogate him strictly, this may be an extremely important piece of information, and we will definitely report it to Shangfeng

The chief is right, if we make a great achievement, we may be able to leave here, and we will not have to live this life of bandits hiding in Tibet, robbing homes and houses

Yes, if you're lucky, you might as well be transferred to the Knights Templar, and you'll be able to stay in the Inquisition and do all these dirty things that don't see the light of day

Hey, this rosary is very strange, a man who was searching for Owen's belongings held up something, Owen looked up and saw that the man was picking up the rosary of Shamosa, the only thing left after the pagan monk Shamosa smiled and passed away in the Tower of the Seven Sins, and Owen picked it up and kept it on his body - although even Owen himself didn't know why he did it at the time

What's the matter, the chief walked over to the man

This rosary is different from ordinary prayer beads, not only is there more beads than ordinary prayer beads, but there is no cross on it

The chief took the rosary and looked at it for a while, and then showed a disdainful expression: What is there to study about this kind of broken thing made by untouchables, and throw it aside, the prefect's reaction is not surprising, because usually the rosary in the hands of the clergy of the Holy Light Sect is made of agate, and there must be a silver cross on the rosary, but there is no cross on this old rosary, not to mention that the beads are still made of wood, and the prefect understands it as the poor's own product, because the poor have no money to sell silver and agate, so they can only be made of wood

Well, there is no time to grind the foreign worker, hurry up and interrogate the sick man, the chief has a few words, and then leaves the cave with a dozen people

From the conversation just now, it can be heard that Owen was caught by a group of bandits loyal to the Inquisition after falling unconscious in the wilderness, but Owen was not interested in the conversation of this group, because he had to concentrate all his energy on contemplation in order to deal with the evil force that was about to break out of the cocoon in his body, and he could not do anything else, otherwise his thoughts would be interrupted, and his mental power would dissipate instantly, and that evil force might not be able to be suppressed anymore......

The cave was empty, except for two men, each with a stick, standing in front of Owen

You see, there are so many scars on this sick body

Oh too...... Hey--he seems to be awake

Let's go

Let me come first, the man on the left raised the Duris seal stick in his hand, and lifted Owen's chin, boy, where did you get this thing?

Owen ignored it - he couldn't be distracted by anything else right now, and suppressing the evil force in his body was the most important thing

Hey...... Hard-mouthed, Owen's silence upset the other party, and he raised his stick and slammed it on Owen's head

The blow was so hard that Owen was full of Venus, but he didn't speak, and continued to concentrate

You don't say it, the other man also swung a wooden stick and slammed Owen on the head

Owen, who was bleeding from his head, endured the pain and did not snort, although it was not difficult to get out of this predicament with Owen's strength, but at this moment, he could not make any resistance, otherwise his previous efforts would be wasted

The bitch didn't give an answer, and the two men were so annoyed that they picked up their sticks and rained down on Owen......

I can certainly do it with concentration and heart--for-heart - Owen doesn't care about the brutal beating of his body, and the trauma on his body is nothing compared to the consequences of the evil force being released in his body

The torture continued for half an hour, until both sticks were broken, and the two interrogators sat panting on the ground, looking at the bloody man who had been hung up, and shook their heads helplessly, they had nothing to do with the boy

A man dressed in blue walked into the cave, and the two interrogators immediately stood up

I can't wait for so long, sir

No, one of them replied, that guy doesn't seem to be afraid of pain at all, and he won't say anything about how hard we are

I'm not afraid of pain, I don't believe that there is such a person in the world...... Untie him

As soon as the rope was loosened, Owen fell to the ground, and then was erected by two people, one left and one right, and there was absolutely no living person in the world who was not afraid of pain, and the adjutant picked up one of the broken wooden sticks, took out a dagger, and cut off several sharp wooden sticks from the wooden sticks, and then he grabbed Owen's right hand and stabbed the wooden sticks one by one through the cracks between his fingernails

Ten fingers to the heart, the pain was bone-chilling, and when the fourth wooden stick pierced the ring finger of his right hand, Owen couldn't hold it anymore -- well

Hearing Owen's painful snort, the adjutant was overjoyed: I'll just say, well, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of pain, when I was on an errand in prison, no one could stand this kind of capital punishment, he held up Owen's chin, now it's time to say, where did that thing come from

But Owen still turned a deaf ear to it, he continued to persevere, seeing that he was about to succeed, as long as he sealed the evil power in his body, even if he suffered more, it was worth it

Hmph, the enraged adjutant slapped Owen hard and looked at you with a few fingers

The adjutant inserted a wooden stick into the nail of the last finger of Owen's right hand, and then came to the left side of Owen's body, raising his left hand to plunge the wooden skewers into the nails one by one...... Suddenly, his gaze fell on the half of the handkerchief on Owen's left wrist

Hey, it's a girl's handkerchief, this sick guy is still learning to play romance with others, and the adjutant reached out to pull Owen's handkerchief

Stop, Owen, who had been silent, suddenly shouted

But in this way, his spirit relaxed, and the seal that he had gathered in his body that was about to be completed was shattered, and a suffocating aura of terror poured out of Owen's body

Owen suddenly spoke to the adjutant's surprise, but Owen's tone angered him even more, and the man slapped Owen twice hard: Dare to talk to me like this, hum

Then the adjutant did something extremely stupid: he rudely ripped off the handkerchief from Owen's wrist

Give me back Owen can no longer control his feelings

The fierce-looking adjutant threw the handkerchief on the ground and kicked Owen in the chest, Owen was kicked so that a mouthful of blood spurted out of his body and he fell backwards, and the adjutant stepped on the handkerchief that had been thrown to the ground when he retracted his foot

Ahh

The black gas wrapped around the arms, and the two men on the left and right who were holding up Owen quickly surrounded their bodies

Help me

Two men surrounded by black gas screamed, their bodies pouring into flames, black flames that were burned to white ashes in a matter of seconds

No...... The adjutant who witnessed this qiē showed an extremely frightened expression and stepped back step by step

Kill you Owen with a violent murderous aura in his tone--the wooden stick stuck to the five fingers of his right hand popped out automatically

The lieutenant drew the saber from his waist and slashed at Owen's head, but Owen did not shy away from punching the blade

There was a loud bang, the saber broke into several pieces, but Owen's fist was not damaged at all, and the black gas entangled the adjutant along the broken knife, and the adjutant's whole body was the same as the subordinate in front of him, and the adjutant screamed a few times, turning into white ashes in the black flames

Stop, there was an angry shout at the entrance of the cave, and when he heard a strange movement in the cave, the chief immediately led more than 20 of his men to rush in, but he saw such a tragic scene

This...... What kind of monster was this, and the bandits trembled, and they saw the man who had burned three of his companions to death—it wasn't supposed to be a humanoid object wrapped in a black air mass with red glow—and they couldn't recognize it as the sick tuberculosis they had picked up from the wilderness last night

Owen let out a frenzied howl and walked towards the bandits

At the commander's command, five bandits rushed up with their own weapons and surrounded Owen at the core

The remaining dozen bandits were about to rush forward, but the commander stopped them from retreating, and the commander gave an incomprehensible order, leading a dozen of his men to turn around and leave

Why did the chief retreat, what was that thing inside, and an unwilling subordinate rushed up and asked his commander

Do you see those black flames, it is the karmic fire from hell, we met a complete devil, left in the cave and had only a dead end, the chief explained as he walked

We still have our companions fighting inside, and we can't leave them behind

Alas...... The chief sighed, so you must not forget these 8 companions in the future, it was they who made sacrifices to give us the opportunity to create zào

opportunity

He touched his chest to the chief, and the only chance to destroy this devil was the only way

Five bandits with weapons pounced on Owen from different directions, Owen who was in a state of madness grabbed the spear stabbed from the right casually, the black on his body quickly spread to the spear, the holder of the spear was shocked, and immediately let go of the weapon, Owen lifted the spear upside down, and swirled it to the side, three long swords and a two-handed giant sword were all blocked, only to see the spear quickly wrapped in black gas, this weapon was completely eroded by the evil power on Owen's body

Ahh

A long sword stabbed into Owen's body from behind, piercing out in the lower abdomen, hum, you are finally going to die, the sneak attacker was smug, but Owen did not fall, he dropped the spear, turned around, and punched the head of the sneak attacker, and the blood of the lost body spurted wildly, shook a few times, and fell to the ground

Owen pulled out the long sword inserted in his body, just like the spear just now, this weapon was rapidly eroded, he turned to face the remaining two swordsmen who could still fight, the two of them were frightened, their faces were like earth, one of them was a little brave raised his sword and rushed forward, Owen threw the sword over, the swordsman could not dodge, the thrown sword was pierced in the right shoulder, and then the black gas on the long sword quickly surrounded him, and his whole body died under the black flames, and there was one more victim

The other swordsman completely lost the will to fight, he turned and fled towards the entrance of the cave, Owen rushed forward and punched him in the left back - the swordsman's heart was actually directly punched out and fell to the ground, still beating

The last of the five besiegers alive, the pikeman from whom Owen had been robbed of his weapon, leaned against the edge of the cave wall, trembling with fear, and he watched in despair as Owen turned and approached him.......
