Chapter 89: Stubbornness
Hela's words, the mercenary didn't hear at all. Because when the witch hesitated, the three of them had already rushed out of a considerable distance, and Hela didn't speak loudly, so it was also a matter of course. And even if the networm heard, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to understand what the witch was saying. After all, for her, the abnormalities in her body are far from appearing, and it is not easy to know certain things in advance in this era. So although they had a lot of doubts, the Networm and Lothar still understood the situation in front of them as the young witches led by Qili were trying to fight against the witches' behavior.
The idea was quickly confirmed, accompanied by the sound of a fight. The characteristic cracking of the whip echoed through the hallway, and the golden mermaid-shaped candlestick was thrown by some force, brushing past Fioni and slamming against the wall. The Kraken immediately stopped, and gestured for the two behind him to stop and remain quiet. The trio half-crouched down at the corner where the candlestick had been thrown, holding their breath, hoping to reduce their chances of being discovered. And the reason why they did not think that they had been discovered was because on the side that could not be seen around the corner, the sound of battle did not stop. On the contrary, there is even a more intense stance. In the interval between the long whiplash, they gradually heard some words, one of which was still somewhat familiar.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you let them go?" the unfamiliar voice asked with a burst of air. Then came the crunch of the ground and whip blows, and it was clear that the attack hadn't had the effect it was supposed to have. And as a slow weapon like the long whip, anyone with a little weapons training knows that this is the time to fight back. But they didn't wait for a counterattack, only to hear the more familiar voice answer in a deep but firm voice.
"I know that I am willing to accept the price of default. This determined female voice quickly reminded her of its owner, Karen. Combined with the familiar tone of the conversation between the two and the sound of the whip, Fioni immediately guessed who was fighting Glenn, that is, the warden of the Witch Prison, the witch who raised Glenn and taught her how to use the whip.
"What do you know? you're a reckless girl!" The sound of breaking the air sounded again with a question, and this time, the dull sound proved that it had indeed hit or entangled something, "Garen, do you know what the thing that made a deal with you is? Do you know that even the Great Witch is an existence that even the Great Witch will not easily offend! You tell me now that you want to break the contract with it? If you want to die, I can help you now, so that you will not be tortured to the point of not being able to die!"
"I didn't!" Jia Lun's voice couldn't be as calm as before, her voice rose from pain and mood swings, "I know everything, but I can't! I can't fulfill such an evil contract, if I have to, I'd rather die here! You don't understand anything, your heart is as cold as chains!"
"Smack!" A crisp slap sounded, and both Lothar and Networm subconsciously covered their cheeks, and they more or less recalled the memories related to it. While this direct blow to the cheek doesn't hurt much in actual combat, it seems to be an effective means of venting one's frustration to others. Most of the people who are hit will also be stunned for a while in the sudden pain. Sure enough, after this crisp sound, only heavy breathing could be heard in the hallway, due to intense emotional fluctuations.
"It's a mistake I made and I'll make up for it myself. Jia Lun's stubborn voice sounded slowly, "I'm different from you, I won't let things happen because I'm afraid of the consequences! Even if I end up like this because of this decision, it's better than becoming a cold monster who only knows how to prolong life!"
"What did you say?" Even Lothar and Fioni, who were completely unfamiliar with the witch who held the position of prison warden, could clearly hear the tsunami-like anger contained in these four words. Obviously, Jia Lun's words touched the other party's sore spot, and this sore spot will never be known to people who are not really close to him. But when someone close to you stabs oneself with this sore spot, the pain is probably even more heart-wrenching than when the scar is left.
But in the face of the angry warden, Jia Lun had no intention of stopping. Maybe it was because she herself was torn open and scabbed by the other party, she even continued, "I say, I won't be like you, watching my child being devoured by the devil and be indifferent! I won't wait for everything to change before raising a replacement that is somewhat similar to your real child like a fool!" "Boom!" A huge explosion rang out, and more candlesticks and tapestries smashed against the wall before them.
That person is, of course, Karon. With the constitution of the witches, they are actually not much different from ordinary humans in terms of their ability to resist blows, so it is only natural that Jia Xin is paralyzed in this pile of debris, but she also noticed the three people hiding in the shadows around the corner. The short-haired witch didn't show anything out of the ordinary, probably because her expression was used to express her pain. However, before Lothar and the others could react to this, another person had already walked into their sight.
"How dare you bring it up again!How can you bring it up again!" The warden's expression was very hideous, even if she said that she wanted to kill Jia Lun with her current expression, I am afraid that no one would doubt it. But perhaps because of the focus of this anger, she didn't notice Fioni's shiny scales in the shadows. She strode over to Garyn and pulled her by the collar from the ground, the surging magic causing the light around her to deflect strangely, making what others could see a little weird.
Although the Lothars wanted to rush to the rescue immediately, they were now unarmed, and even a sneak attack was not half sure that they would be able to save people from the enraged witch. The networm pressed the Count's shoulder, her fingers digging deep into the latter's flesh, she knew that if she slackened a little, the man in front of her would rush forward to challenge her impossible opponent, and he was such a person. Fionni stared at Garron, the Siren's gaze and the witch's gaze met, and the latter twitched his pupils slightly, the meaning of which was self-evident. She wanted them to go now. Without further hesitation, Fioni's hind legs exerted force and rushed out first.
The figure disappeared at the end of the hallway. The warden let go of his grip on Karen and let the man, who was like his daughter, fall to the ground. She looked at Jia Lun condescendingly, "After this pass, they will be able to escape smoothly." But is it really worth it? If that woman hadn't given birth to her child, or if they did escape from Heartbreaker, even the Great Witch wouldn't have been able to save you. ”
Kalun gasped for air, and when his breathing finally calmed down, he looked up at the other person, "It's worth it, Mother." ”
