Chapter 37: Questioning the Source of Torture

The rest of the room had no time to react, and could only watch as May killed the captive.

There was a burst of gasps and exclamations all around, and everyone was shocked by Mei's decisiveness.

Xiao Chen was really a little angry at this time, he didn't expect this mysterious woman to suddenly make a move and kill the captive without warning, "Miss Mei, why did you suddenly make a move, you didn't even discuss it with me!"

"You can't blame me for that. The Shadowbolts have a secret method for suicide. Not only can it end one's life instantly, but it can also destroy the soul. If not to kill him by surprise. When he kills himself, we won't get anything. Mei said unhurriedly, "But now, you can use spells to interpret the memories of the dead." ”

"Even so, you can tell me in advance! I don't know what you said to Ye Zi, and what she promised you. But if we want her to learn from you, we must have this basic mutual trust!"

"Hey, I just forgot to say it in advance. By the time I think about it, it's too late. Mei spread her hands, looking very helpless.

Everyone was already dead, and Xiao Chen had no other choice but to come to the captive and prepare to perform soul interpretation.

This middle-aged man's name is Brisse, and he is a subordinate of Macora, the intelligence captain of the Shadow Regiment, Xiao Chen is mind retraces his memories with his vision, and he has obtained a lot of useful information.

After a few moments, he turned to May and said, "These people are indeed here for us, and there is a guy named Sancho in the Shadow Regiment who has been eyeing us since Montenegro. Today's arrest of Ye Zi is also Sancho's intention, in order to torture our information from her. ”

"So Javier Jr. and I are involved. ”

"I don't think so, since you are interested in Ye Zi, you even have the idea of guiding her. There must have been a special interest in this matter. I think if you add this layer of relationship, it can't be considered a consequence. ”

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, don't you think it's far-fetched?"

"It's not far-fetched, otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here. ”

Mei was like her hands around her chest, and her golden eyes stared at Xiao Chen for seven or eight seconds, "Can you tell me, what secret made him target you?"

"Can you tell me, then, why are you interested in Ye Zi, or even us, and what is the position of the Radiant Wing Tower in this matter?" Xiao Chen asked rhetorically.

"You people, all of them are very interesting. May lowered her arm, "Okay." I think we're going to have to have a good talk. ”

——————————————————

When Xiao Chen saw the people in the reading club again, they had already finished dinner and were about to leave.

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, this reading club you held is really successful and meaningful. His Excellency Li Jia's explanation of the magic text has taught me too many useful things. Feng Qi said eagerly.

"And Miss Tasia's spell-casting skills, something that only an ancient family like hers possesses, and now that she's willing to share it with us, we're so grateful. Gracos, another member, said. Aside from Xiao Chen and Tasia, he was the only mid-level mage in the reading club.

"Don't forget about the food, I now expect the book club to have events every day. The third mage, Neppel, joked.

"The book club is such a place to share, and today Miss Tasia gave us the best example. Let our first event be a success. Xiao Chen responded to everyone with a smile.

"Next time, I will definitely share my experience with you. I'm still a low-level mage, but I have some interesting ideas about the magic of missiles. Feng Qi said very cooperatively. Several other mages then expressed their willingness to share their experiences.

When she walked to the door, Tasia told everyone that she had a study to discuss with Xiao Chen and Li Jia last time, and she was going to leave later tonight, and sent the others away with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen took Tasia into a study and said straight to the point, "The Temple of Nature is eyeing us. ”

"What?!" Tasia originally thought that Xiao Chen kept her to discuss the content of "The True Source of Magic". I didn't expect him to say such exciting news as soon as he said it. The female mage's face clearly showed a panicked look, and her originally pale face could now be described as miserable white.

Xiao Chen pointed to the house and drew a circle, and said, "I'm not staring at you." It's about these people from Montenegro. ”

But Tasia's face still did not soften, and she said, "It's all the same! I've been with you all these days, and the spies of the Temple of Nature will find me one day." ”

She grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, thought for more than ten seconds and asked, "How bad is it, tell me clearly." ”

"Specifically, the folks of the Temple of Nature Shadowbolts think we might have something wrong. But they shouldn't have discovered the details of the Seven Towers yet. Someone has been quietly watching us these days. ”

"When did you find out about this?"

"Today, today they are in direct conflict with our people, attacking our people on the road. ”

"The result?"

"They were all dead, six in all. ”

"What about you?"

"There was one person who was injured. ”

"What a surprise to me! It looks like they kicked a very hard rock. ”

"We're not easy to mess with. But I'm still sorry to have you involved. Xiao Chen said.

"No, since we all know each other's details, we have become natural allies, let alone talk about things like being involved. Tasia had calmed down, "Please, what do you want me to do when you come to me? Temporarily hidden, leaving the royal capital, or seeking refuge from our family?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "These methods are too negative. ”

"Could it be that you see some kind of opportunity to redeem yourself?" Tasia sensitively grasped Xiao Chen's meaning, and her eyes showed a little surprise. In her own opinion, the people who provoked the Shadow Troupe and killed six of them in one go, and it seemed that there was no better way out than to hide.

"Actually, when I left just now, I tortured the soul of a dead man. I got a valuable message from this, and that is that all the actions so far are still the meaning of the Shadow Regiment, and do not involve the priests of the temple.

It just so happened that I also learned that Roland, the new deputy chief priest of the royal capital of the Natural Temple, and Yepes, the leader of the royal capital branch of the Shadow Regiment, were at odds with each other. Although Roland and I had a relationship, I am afraid that we did not have a very good impression of each other at that time. So I need a powerful person to introduce me one more time. Xiao Chen said.

"Priest Roland, I'm not very familiar with him, and he doesn't seem to be a very prominent person. This time, he directly served as the deputy chief priest of the royal capital, which seems to have caused dissatisfaction among many people. said that he has limited qualifications and is difficult to take on important responsibilities. ”

Xiao Chen recalled the two times he saw Roland outside the slave camp, and said: "There is an old saying in our hometown: dogs that bite people don't bark. ”

Tasia was originally thinking seriously, but she was amused by his words, "But the Present Sect he belongs to does have a lot to do with my family. I wouldn't dare say that things are still turning around, but it's worth a try. ”
