Chapter 21: The Witch (3)

"Who are you?" Alvin leaned against the wall and tilted his head slightly, looking at Sean and said weakly, "What do you want to talk about?"

"My name is Sean Carlos, Karp's Chief of Security and Chief of the Castle Guard. To be able to come here and see you directly is enough to prove who I am. The one who captured you the other day was one of my men. Now I want to talk to you about cooperation. Sean said expressionlessly: "Tell me how to use that armor and how to replace the Philosopher's Stone." I've seen it, and it doesn't seem to be the same as the armor from other Snake City. Alwyn asked rhetorically.

"Why should I tell you?"

"In order to suffer less flesh and skin. ”

"Do you think I'm scared?"

"......Forehead" hesitated for a moment, and Sean continued: "Don't think that the pain of flesh and skin is just pain, I can make you disabled and make you a waste for the rest of your life." It can even drive you completely insane. In that case, even the White Bone Holy Light Holy See won't be able to cure you. ”

Alwin looked at Sean quietly.

The two looked at each other.

The firelight flickered slightly, shining on the faces of the two men.

There was silence for a long time, so long that the sweat on Sean's forehead came down. Alwyn spoke softly, "Let's change the rhetoric, threats don't work against knights." At least not against the knights of the Knights of the Silver Moon. ”

Gritting his teeth, Sean had no choice but to change his words and say, "I can make your life very comfortable, provide you with enough food and water, and no one will whip you again." Is that okay?"

After hearing this, Alvin snorted and laughed, "Are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding!" Sean was a little anxious: "You just need to tell me how to use that armor, anyway, the armor is not in your hands now, and there is almost no loss." Are you still not satisfied with such conditions?"

Slowly closing his eyes, he whispered, "Tell me what you want to do with that armor." ”

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched slightly, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "I want to use it against her." ”

"She?" Alvin opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised.

"Dophna, I want to use it against Dophna. I need that armor. ”

"You want to switch to my side?"

Sean was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I want to switch to your side." She's so harsh, I can't stand it. ”

Alwyn looked at him quietly.

Time passed bit by bit, and the light of the torches flickered slightly.

On such a cold day, Sean's sweat didn't stop for a moment.

"You're lying to me. Alvin said bluntly.

"No, I didn't lie to you! ”

"You lied to me. ”

"I do want to use it against Dophna. ”

Turning his face away, Alvin whispered, "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about you not going to take my side." Otherwise you just have to get out of here and go to the White City. It's too simple for you. ”

Sean is about to have a problem. He grabbed Alwyn by the collar and lifted him up, shouting, "Don't talk so much nonsense! Tell me how to use that armor, it's good for you!, or I'll let you die here!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of death?" Alwyn asked indifferently.

This question directly made Sean speechless.

Helpless, he could only gently put Alvin back. The attitude has changed completely, and the original fierce face has been replaced with a flattering expression: "Okay...... Okay, I'll be honest. I do want to kill Dophna, maybe not to, just defeat her. But I can't take refuge in you, the devil is here. I've seen it too. He would never allow it. In my judgment, I killed her envoy, and he wouldn't mind if I wanted to be the new one. But if I kill his envoy and take refuge in the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, or the Knights of the Silver Moon, then I may not see the sun tomorrow. Maybe he's secretly listening to our conversation right now. ”

......

On the city wall directly opposite the prison window, in an area completely covered in shadows, the Purgatory Demon Alphonse bowed his head slightly and coughed dryly.

......

"So you want my armor without paying any price?" Alwyn asked.

Sean's eyes widened and he grinned and said, "No, I paid." As long as I get your armor and replace Dophna as the master here, I will treat you well. That's the price I pay. ”

The sweat on his forehead still didn't stop.

"It's not a price. ”

"Hey, man, you can't think like that. Don't focus on what I'm giving for, you should focus on what you're getting. There's no need to suffer needlessly, right? ”

"I refuse. Alvin replied with a smile.

Suddenly, Sean's face changed again, and he threw Alvin down fiercely, and roared, "Listen, if you don't agree, I'll kill you right now!

Alwyn lay motionless, his eyes closed, as if he were dead.

Sean was so angry that his face turned red, but he had no choice but to throw down a sentence: "Think about it! I'll give you time, and when it's dawn, I'll ask you again! That's your last chance! If I can't live, don't even think about living!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

When the iron door was closed, it shook violently, and all the railings trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound. It reverberates incessantly in the prison.

The guard in charge of the guard removed the torches from the iron frame and turned to leave. Alwin's cell was once again dark.

When the hum of the railing died down, it was as quiet as a bottomless abyss.

After a few moments, Alwyn struggled to hold up on the ground and sat up. He coughed violently a few times and coughed up a trace of blood.

Tilting his head, he continued to quietly look out the window at the moonlight.

"I think you should agree with his advice. The guy next door spoke: "You have nothing to lose anyway." If it were me, I would not hesitate to agree to such conditions. ”

"So you're not a knight, you're just a jailer. Alvin replied coldly.

"I don't like it when you say that. What do you mean? You mean because I don't think the same way you do, so you're a knight and I'm a jailer?"

Alvin didn't answer.

After a pause, the old man continued, "You are not right to say that. You are a knight because you have a good father and have a hereditary title, and I don't. Our family is civilian. To be a jailer, I feel like I'm already amazing. It's just that I was unlucky and ran into Dophna. ”

"But our family doesn't have a title for me to inherit. ”

"Forehead ......"

"But there's one thing you are absolutely right. I do have a good father, and without him I would never be a knight. ”

"Look! So I'm right! You should listen to me and accept his terms! It's better to add a clause to it, and give me the same treatment. After all, I am urging you to accept it, and you should ...... Thank me. Isn't it?"

Silence, long silence.

Time ticked by, and Alvin continued to stare silently at the moonlight.

The silence was so silent that the guy next door was a little impatient: "Man, say something." You're not going to die, are you?"

"No, I'm alive. Alvin replied softly.

"It's good to be alive. How's that? What about my suggestion?"

"He said tomorrow was the deadline. ”

"What?"

"I said he had just said that dawn was the deadline, and that if he couldn't live, I wouldn't want to live. That means it's his deadline as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ventured to me. If Dophna knew about this...... He's going to be miserable. Maybe I can take advantage of that. ”

"Oh my God...... What are you thinking? You still want to fight back? It's a very stupid thing to want to fight back in this situation. Let any of them know that they will kill you. ”

Alwin turned his face slightly, looked in the direction of the guy next door, and said nothing.

......

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. Sean, who was sitting in a chair chatting with Miller, shouted.

The door opened, and in came the guards of the prison. He walked quickly over to Sean and whispered something in his ear.

Suddenly, Sean's eyes widened.

......

Just fifteen minutes later, Sean was in Alvin's prison.

"He said you were looking for me?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you figured it out?"

"Yes. ”

"That's great! tell me how to replace the Philosopher's Stone and how to use it. And then...... I promise you'll have a comfortable time here. I could even have the cell redecorated again. ”

"No, it's not. Alvin shook his head and said, "I'm going to negotiate new terms with you, not accept your previous terms." ”

"New conditions?" Sean was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, new conditions. Alwyn said weakly, "You take refuge in the White City, and I will help you achieve victory." ”

"It can't be, there are demons. Even if I put on the armor, I won't be able to defeat the demon!Even if I want to defeat Dophna, I may need to look for an opportunity, let alone the demon!"

Alvin smiled and asked, "You only know that there are demons. Did you know that besides demons, there are also lichs?"

......

When he heard this, Alphonse, the purgatory demon who had been lurking, unconsciously glanced around him.

......

"How's it going?" Alvin asked softly.

Sean's heart went to his throat, and he cautiously glanced around him, "Are you kidding? If there is a lich...... Why didn't he come out? And Dophna had said that the demon promised to stop the lich. ”

"And how do you know that the Lich won't stop the Demon?" Alwyn asked rhetorically, "Do you know which is stronger, the Lich or the Demon?"

"This ......"

Alwin said softly, "There is only one way in front of you now, and that is to cooperate with me. And the condition of cooperating with us is that you have to throw yourself to me. If you refuse, then maybe you don't need to think about which is stronger, the Lich or the Demon. That's redundant for you. ”
