Chapter 36: A Warning
Javier's carriage galloped back to Xiao Chen's station.
In one of the conference rooms of the residency, the activities of the reading club are in the stage of exchanging experiences.
At this point, Tasia is teaching a low-level spell trick to speed up the casting of a spell in front of a blackboard. This is also the practical experience that the Alonso family has summed up over the years, although it is not very important, but it is very valuable knowledge for most of the mages and mages here.
Feng Qi and the others all listened to the lectures and recorded them very seriously. They were holding pens and writing on the school's own wood pulp paper. These little things that they have never seen before, but they are very easy to use, make them feel extremely convenient and love it. also made them secretly impressed by the inheritance of mages like Xiao Chen and Li Jia.
The following lectures are not only Xiao Chen, Feng Qi and other member mages, but also Li Tianrui, Tang Feng and other "preparatory members" who are interested in magic, so listening to the discussion of formal mages is very beneficial to broaden the magic horizon and improve the magic intuition, Xiao Chen naturally will not waste such an opportunity.
When Tasia was about to finish speaking, Caterina pushed the door in and whispered a few words in Xiao Chen's ear. Xiao Chen frowned, instructed Li Jia, asked him to teach the later magic course, and followed Caterina out of the room.
The two silently came to a side hall, Xiao Chen saw that Ye Zi was already lying on the sofa and seemed to be asleep, Roger and a hygienist of the escort team were guarding her, and a woman in a black cloak and Prince Javier were sitting on the sofa waiting for his arrival.
"Teacher Xiao Chen, someone attacked us, Sister Ye Zi defeated them all, but she was also injured. As soon as Xiao Chen came in, Javier suddenly jumped up from his chair, rushed to Xiao Chen, and said anxiously.
"How is Ye Zi's injury?" Xiao Chen asked.
"She's pretty much cured by the God of War Arena. But I also used all three healing techniques on the ring. Javier said.
Xiao Chen was a little confused, "God of War what?"
"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, Ye Zi is no longer in trouble, she just needs to rest well. We're here to give you a warning, in addition to sending her back. You've been targeted by the shadows of the Temple of Nature. The woman in the black cloak said.
"Who are you?"
"I'm May, Javier's guardian, from the Tower of Radiant Wings, and I'm a very nice kid, and I'll be her mentor in the future. The woman took off the hood from her head and showed her beautiful countenance.
"Miss Mei, I believe that you and His Highness Javier have helped Ye Zi a lot in today's matter, can you explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know, it's up to you to investigate the cause yourself, and our Radiant Towers aren't fit to be involved in this. I can give you a clue, though. Diagonally across from the red bell tower, there was a shadow spy staring at it, and I smelled him as I got out of the carriage. You can examine this person well. ”
"Thanks! I'm going to see who's using our brains. Xiao Chen said.
——————————————————
There is a dungeon under the office house, and I don't know what the Count used to tell me about this house, and there are not only cells in the dungeon, but even some various torture instruments. This dungeon has not been used since Xiao Chen came, but now it has an effect for the first time.
The spy caught by Roger, Jacob, and Caterina is a middle-aged man. It doesn't look good, like a roadside vendor. His eyes were blindfolded, his mouth was gagged, and both of his legs were broken, and he was dragged into the torture chamber by Roger and Jacob.
Roger and Jacob tied him to the cross. Roger replied: "My lord, this man is very cunning, and he fled when he saw me and Jacob approaching from two sides, but fortunately Caterina knew the terrain around him and blocked him in the way. We just caught him. ”
"No one answered?" Xiao Chen asked.
"There should be, but we're moving fast. Before the other party had time to react, he dragged the person back. ”
Xiao Chen motioned for Roger to pull off the strip of cloth from the other party's eyes and took out the cloth ball in his mouth. The man squeezed his eyes to see a few people in the dungeon, and let out a cold snort.
"Since I can find you, I naturally know that you are from the Shadow Troupe. Tell me why you are investigating us and attacking my companions. ”
The man raised his head, trying to make a look of contempt, he squinted at Xiao Chen and said, "Die." You hillbillies, you don't even understand what you're getting into trouble. Whatever you ask me, I won't say. I'll only tell you one thing, and that's that if you don't let me go right away, you're dead. ”
"Bastard. Roger punched him in the mouth, knocking off both of his teeth, and his cheeks swollen like balloons.
But the strange thing, although the man is in a tragic shape. But he didn't seem to feel the pain, he spit out a mouthful of blood, grinned his swollen mouth, and said with a smile: "Fight, fight, the harder you hit the door, the worse the revenge you will suffer in the future." Ha ha. ”
"Makes your mouth hard. Roger greeted him with two punches, and the man laughed even more as he vomited blood.
"There's a lot of diehard guys in the Shadowbolts. By contrast, the priests were much more clever. May said.
The man noticed her golden eyes and jerked forward, but the ropes on his limbs tied him firmly to the cross. He changed his previous nonchalant appearance, and shouted loudly: "You, you are the person of the Tower of Radiant Wings!
"You see, these people are like that, they always feel that there is a conspiracy behind everything, and in fact, they themselves are the biggest conspirators. May shook her head and sighed.
"My lord, we can torture him with the torture instruments here if we need to. Jacob said.
"It's useless, the Shadow Regiment has a secret method to isolate pain, which is used to deal with torture. Your Excellency Xiao Chen, as a magician of the Soul Forging Tower, do you have any spells that torture spirits?"
"Nope. My spells can only read a portion of the memories of the dead. But it has no effect on living people. Xiao Chen said.
"So?" Mei smiled slightly, and with a wave of her hand, a white light flew out of the middle of her sleeve and plunged directly into the man's heart.
"You, you're ...... , Aren't you afraid, the temple and the tower of radiant wings......" The man looked at his heart in amazement, a ray of light composed of a sharp blade was gradually dissipating, and then a large stream of blood poured out of his chest, the man slowly raised his head, glanced at Mei with desperate eyes, and then his head hung down weakly again, and died silently.
