Chapter 166: Cowen's Story
Lanzarote, Cowin and the others struggled desperately in the smoke, opening their mouths to shout but the smoke penetrated their mouths and noses, and they could only let out a series of whining sounds. They danced and tried to break free from the smoke, but they could only lie on the ground and roll.
Dylan walked to the chair and sat down, and said leisurely: "Since you like acting, then give me a good performance." Let me see what else you can perform. ”
After a long time, Dylan saw that they were really exhausted, and motioned for Paula to untie the magic that bound them.
When the smoke cleared, all the Spaniards turned pale and their pupils constricted, apparently in a sign of overstart.
"It just felt good, didn't it?"
Dylan glanced at Paula, Paula smiled back, and then Dylan said softly, "Paula just used a simple fear technique, and it can't cause any damage to your body." So, it's okay to come a few more times. ”
"Dread" is a very basic part of the curse type of basic spells. Generally speaking, people who are affected by this spell will subconsciously think of the things they fear most in their hearts.
Just now, Cowen and the others were affected by the fear technique, and when they heard what Dylan said, they would unconsciously substitute themselves into the situation in the words.
Although they had been enveloped in smoke for less than half an hour, they felt as if they had really been locked up in a small dark room for days.
At this time, it is the time when their inner defense line is the most vulnerable.
Dylan waited patiently until they had taken a breath before he asked, "Tell me, how did you get into this room? What do you want to do here?" ”
After the collapse of their mental defenses, they also lost the desire to perform. Without waiting for the others to speak, Cowin and Lanzarote explained the matter in a word-by-word manner.
·········
"So, you can ignore the witch's magic circle because of this thing?"
Dylan looked at the gold coin in his hand with a serious look of doubt in his eyes.
"It's true, I swear!"
Lanzarote touched his chest with his right hand and swore an oath: "This gold coin is really useful, last time we used this gold coin to go through the wall and steal a bit of gold and a valuable wooden box." Yesterday we were drunk so wanted to come and steal it again. ”
He pointed his finger at Corvin and said, "It's all him, it's all him who instructed us." Otherwise, we wouldn't have come at all, and you would have killed him, and we wouldn't have complained at all. ”
After he finished speaking, the other partners behind him all began to nod their heads in unison, but they didn't dare to look at Kewen. And when Cowin heard Lanzarote's words, he lowered his head, but did not return the favor.
Dylan glanced at Cowen, looked back at Lanzarote, and then suddenly reached out and threw out two fierce winds.
Whew!
The cyan light flashed, and both Corvin and Lanzarote cracked a gap of about a centimeter behind their ears. The two screamed, then reached out and touched their ears. Looking at his hands again, there was a little blood staining.
"What's the relationship between the two of you?"
Dylan smelled the smell wafting from the blood of the two, and said in a hesitant tone: "Just now he would rather die than divert my attention, and now he is willing to be a shield for you." If it's not a very intimate relationship, there's no way anyone would do it for you. ”
"However, your blood tells me that you are not closely related. Dylan looked at Cowen with a puzzled expression on his face.
Hearing Dylan's question, Covin's body shook violently, and then he glanced up at Lanzarote. And Lanzarote glared at Corvin viciously, and now it seems that Lanzarote is like the boss, and Cowin is like a little brother.
After a while, it was Kewen who took the initiative to speak: "My lord, we are indeed not related by blood, and I am willing to die for him because I owe him a life." ”
"Owe a life?"
Dylan's eyes lit up, and he asked gossipily, "I'm interested in this kind of subject, you can talk about it."
Corvin glanced at Lanzarote again, sighed heavily, and then talked about a piece of the past.
Once upon a time, there was a small town called Hamelin.
It has a large population and prosperous businesses, and people have no worries about food, clothing, and a prosperous life.
Like many bustling cities, almost universal money corrupts the hearts of the people in small towns. Everyone has become more and more competitive, as if the purpose of life is to save a little more money.
Later, I don't know that from that day on, a huge rat appeared in the town, and the rat started to steal some food, but after being killed, the rat began to take revenge on humans and steal human babies. Humans who have lost their babies are furious, but they are helpless against rats.
At this time, a mysterious person appeared, he was wearing a hooded robe, his figure and appearance could not be seen clearly, only the silver flute around his waist was very beautiful. He went to the mayor's house, claimed that he could solve the city's rat infestation, and put on a show in front of everyone.
As the mysterious man's whistle sounded, the rats in the mayor's house ran out and jumped into the river.
When people saw this scene, they were immediately ecstatic. They promised the Piper a large sum of money if he could solve the rat infestation. So, the mysterious man walked from the end of the town to the end of the town, and the rats followed the sound of the mysterious man's flute to the river and jumped.
After the rat infestation is resolved, the mysterious man returns to the town and asks the mayor for his payment. But unexpectedly, the mayor denied it and framed the mysterious man, claiming that he was the one who drove the rats in order to defraud everyone of their money.
The enraged people believed the mayor, and they beat the mysterious man to death with scythes and hoes, and threw him into the wilderness.
After another week, in the night of the town, the flute of the mysterious man sounded again, and this time it was all the inhabitants of the town who were attracted by the sound of the flute. They walked out of the room, came to the river in droves, and jumped in like rats.
The river was full of corpses, and the once prosperous city became an empty city.
And in the wind, the mysterious man disappeared, and his cloak was blown into the air, slowly drifting into the distance.
Only a passing traveler saw all this, and he came to Hamelin, which was already empty, and heard a cry.
Following the cry, he found a newborn baby in infancy, and then took the baby and raised it with his son. Before he died, he told the child everything.
He named the child Cowen.
Cowen finished a long list of stories in one breath, and then fell silent.
