The sun shines silently on the rolling hills of Karp.

Soldiers on the castle wall are removing the rosemary banner that symbolizes the Behill family, along with the antler banner that symbolizes the original lord of Karp. Instead, it was replaced by a black flag.

At the foot of the mountain, the busy people stopped and watched.

......

Dophna asked indifferently, "Haven't found it yet?" That's just two ordinary people, you've been looking for it all night, and you haven't found it yet?"

The middle-aged knight wiped his sweat and replied, "My lord, we have been held back by that one named Alwyn for too long, and we have completely lost the trace of those two who escaped. And the casualties are heavy, and his magic equipment is too powerful. If it weren't for the exhaustion of the Philosopher's Stone at the end, we wouldn't have been able to fight at all. ”

"Heavy casualties, don't you know how to call in other troops?"

"The rest of the troops were only assembled in the morning......"

"You told me everything was ready, and you only had one army, is that what you mean?" Dophna's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"I ......" The middle-aged knight kept wiping his sweat and said hesitantly: "You said it's just three human knights, I didn't expect ......"

"So it's my fault?" Dophna's gaze turned a little more indifferent.

"The subordinates don't dare!" The middle-aged knight knelt down on one knee in fright, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates immediately gather all the troops that can be summoned, no matter what, they must find them within three days! All the entrances and exits have been blocked, and they can't leave Karp!"

Quietly staring at the trembling middle-aged knight, Dophna walked past him for a moment.

As she staggered past the middle-aged knight, Dophna whispered, "Three days, you'd better keep your promise and bring those two men to me in three days." ”

The door is open.

Dophna left, leaving only the middle-aged knight alone in the hall, but he was still on one knee, not moving.

The blue-armored knight, whose hand was wrapped in a bandage and half of his face was swollen, hurriedly walked in from outside the door, and reached out to help the middle-aged knight up.

"Lord Sean, are you alright?"

"It's okay...... What can it do? It's just a scolding. ”

"We hurt so many people, she didn't do anything, and she was embarrassed to blame us. It's just too much. We helped her overthrow the Earl, how do you feel that life is even worse now?"

"Shh......h Miller, don't talk nonsense, it's going to be a problem for her to hear. After thinking about it, the middle-aged knight named Sean pulled the blue-armored knight named Miller and whispered, "That suit of armor ......"

"The one named Alvin wore last night?"

"Yes, that's it. Find a way to get him to tell him how to replace the Philosopher's Stone and how to use it. By the time we grab the other two, we'll have three sets of magic armor on hand. When the time comes, our fortunes will be different. ”

"But...... There are demons behind her. ”

"Do you think the devil cares who his allegiance is?"

"I understand. Miller nodded heavily.

"Go ahead. Be quiet, don't let her know. ”

"Okay. ”

Turning, Miller walked briskly out of the hall.

......

At the gate of the castle, the coachman who came to deliver supplies was being inspected by soldiers.

The soldier standing on the fence looked back, consciously or unconsciously.

The whole castle was silent.

......

In the corner of the castle courtyard, a window clings to the ground and looks like a drain. A ray of sunlight shone crookedly through the window on Alwin's face in his cell.

Slightly twitching his eyelids, he opened them. Moved slightly, sweating profusely in pain.

He had to grit his teeth and endure it to the death.

There are injuries all over the body, although they are all minor injuries, but when there are more, it is also very fatal.

Eventually, Alvin regained his strength, and little by little moved to the corner and sat down.

There is always a gap between the ideal and the reality. As it turned out, the adventure was a far cry from what Alvin had expected.

The villain may not be more scheming than the villain in the story, but whether he can calmly make the most correct decision at a critical time is a big question.

"Maybe I shouldn't have thought about sneaking into Karp in the first place, it sounds hot-blooded, but that's a stupid idea. When was it exposed? We're just on day one...... No, it's not 24 hours at all. From arrival to the accident, it was only four or five hours in total. So, it's definitely a trap that has already been laid out a long time ago. Is it because Mr. Simon has been exposed, or has it been exposed when we leave White City?"

"In White City, we're actually very low-key. If they were exposed when we left White City, it means that they not only planted people in White City, but also hid very deeply. ”

"They've been preparing for a long time. The attack on Karp has been a matter of the past few months, and the preparations may have been a year ago. ”

Talking to himself, Alvin coughed violently, coughing up a streak of blood.

In a trance, Alvin suddenly found Dophna standing in front of him, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"When did you come in?"

"Just now. You're talking to yourself when we found you. Didn't I already say that Aspa was eyeing you, and you didn't believe me?" Dophna said with her eyes wide open, her face blank.

I have to say, Dophna's appearance is really a bit scary.

Mediocre looks, mediocre clothes don't talk about. The key is the loose hair, and the silent sudden appearance. It's a lot scarier than Simon.

It was only at this point that Alvin was surprised to find that she had been barefoot and had no shoes on.

The two of them just stayed silent.

Dophna crouched down and looked at Alwyn closely.

Alvin shrank back slightly, his eyes full of wariness.

It's different from last night. When we met last night, they were separated by a railing. Dophna was now in the same cell as him.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm taking a closer look at what the chosen ones of justice look like. ”

"So now you can see clearly?"

"It's not very clear yet. It would be much better if you washed it and changed your clothes. Sure enough, if people are down, they are thrown into prison, covered in blood, and they all look the same. If you have used the punishment, you will look more like. You haven't used the torture yet, but you're covered in wounds, and it's pretty much the same. As she spoke, the corners of Dophna's mouth rose slightly and she smiled.

Alvin slowly tilted his head, "So, did you come to laugh at me? You didn't laugh long." Miss Irene will get the news soon. Even if we didn't get the news and we didn't go back, Miss Irene surely knew what it meant. ”

"Hmm...... Possibly. But that's all for later, at least you're in my hands now, aren't you?" Dophna smiled even more.

Her eyes widened slowly. Those eyes were bloodshot, and there was a kind of anger that could not be provoked.

Alvin leaned against the wall of the cell, simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

However, Dophna did not leave. She was still looking at Alvin silently, as if she were looking at a funny toy, attentive.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Alvin finally couldn't help himself.

"I said, I'm just here to see what the chosen ones look like. Dophna replied.

"Didn't you already see it clearly?"

"But I'd like to see more. Or, do something. Maybe you can betray your companions. ”

"Betraying my companions?" Alwyn was stunned for a moment, "You haven't caught them yet, have you? I don't know where they went, and it's useless for you to ask me." ”

"But if you don't ask questions, it doesn't seem to be in line with the process. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, people who go to prison have to have a reason to ask, don't they?"

Alvin didn't know what to say, this is a psychopath, right?

"It's so abnormal that you have nothing to ask about like this, and I don't think you should be so abnormal. In the words of justice, everyone should be treated equally. As she spoke, Dophna's eyes widened and she looked excited.

"How many people have you tortured?" Alwyn gritted his teeth.

"One, two, three...... Four, five. Dophna smiled and said, "You're only the sixth, but there may be plenty of them in the future." ”

Turning her face sideways, Dophna shouted, "Come in, two people, drag him out, I'm going to torture him." ”

With a bang, the door to the prison opened. Two guards walked in. They reached out and put Alvin on the shelf, then dragged him out.

Alwyn gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, just staring at Dophna.

In the long corridor of the cell, two guards dragged Alvin like this. The already injured feet left two long blood marks on the ground.

Dophna jumped up and down after her, like an excited girl about to go out for a picnic.

Soon, Alvin was tied to the cross.

"Give me the whip. Dophna turned to the guard next to her.

The guard turned around and quickly fetched the whip she had asked for from Dophna.

Dophna held the whip in her hand and fiddled with it a few times before looking at Alwin, "I'm going to start, nervous?"

"What's the point of you doing this?" asked Alwin, in a bit of a trance.

"I'm happy, I'm happy. With that, Dophna raised her whip and whipped Alwyn hard.

Alwin threw his head back sharply, clenching his teeth tightly in a cold sweat.

This whip goes down, and the skin will directly open the flesh.

"That's right, that's it, bear with it, don't scream. If you scream, you lose. Hahahaha!" Dophna raised her whip and whipped it again and again, pumping it with all her might.

The maniacal laughter could be heard even when standing outside the prison gates.

However, Alvin just didn't scream, just endured it.

It kept fighting, and kept fighting, until Dophna was tired in the back, and Alvin still didn't scream. Although she was on the verge of fainting, she still had a pair of eyes open, silently watching Dophna panting.

"I really didn't scream. It's not fun. Dophna pouted and said, "The ones I tortured before were all screaming after two random hits." I told them that if they begged for mercy, I would let them go, and they would really beg for mercy. Then I told them that I lied to them. Not...... You really didn't say a word. Drag it back, it's not fun at all. ”

The two guards who had been guarding the side quickly stepped forward, untied Alwin, who was already on the verge of fainting, from the cross, and dragged him away.

......

Throwing Alvin into the cell, the two guards locked the door, turned and left.

......

The sunlight shining through the windows into the cell moved little by little until it disappeared completely.

In the night, Alvin lay still in place, as if he were dead. During this period, guards also came in to investigate twice.

Because Miller, the knight of green armor, is here. He also wanted to torture Elwin, but unfortunately Dophna had come one step earlier, and Alwyn's condition was no longer suitable for any punishment.

In addition to this, the guards brought a bowl of water and half a piece of black bread, which were placed next to Alvin.

It wasn't until midnight that Alvin slowly opened his eyes in a violent cough.

"Are you awake?" a voice asked him in the darkness.

"Who?" said Alwin, rolling his eyes slowly.

The cell was unusually dim, lit only by a small oil lamp on the distant wall. When the light reaches Elwin, he can't see anything clearly.

It was Dophna who had come last night that the guards had taken the torches and hung them on the iron frame next to Alwyn's cell.

"Is that Mr. Simon?" asked Alwyn in a whisper again.

"Simon, is it one of the two who escaped? I heard that two of you ran away. The voice whispered.

Oh, then it's certainly not Simon.

Alwin slowly closed his eyes again and continued to lie quietly.

"Man, I'm telling you, you can't do that. She wants you to scream, and you have to scream. If she wants you to cry, you have to cry to her immediately. If you want to beg for mercy, beg for mercy immediately. Maybe she'll fight harder at first, but soon she'll lose interest in you. If you persist like this, she will come and beat you up every day. Sooner or later, you will be accidentally beaten to death by her. ”

"Who are you?" Alvin opened his eyes again.

"Hmm...... A man who rots here. If you will give me your bread, I will tell you something else. You don't look ready to eat it anyway, so you might as well give it to me. ”

Turning his face sideways, Alvin saw a dirty hand reaching out through the crack in the wall. It looks like a man's hand. He tried hard to touch the half of the brown bread next to Alwin, but couldn't touch it anyway.

At least thirty centimeters away.

Alvin gritted his teeth, moved his feet, and kicked the half of the bread over.

The hand that touched the bread quickly held the bread and retracted it, and Alvin could clearly feel that the other party was desperately stuffing the bread into his mouth, and even the sound of breathing was different.

After a pause, Alwyn asked softly, "Tell me who she really is." ”

"She's a girl who was originally locked up here and sold her soul to a demon. Yes, that's it. ”

"And what about you? Who are you?"

"I'm the original jailer here, and the first thing she did when she went out was to lock me in. ”
