"Master Colin, have you openly questioned the way the Orlando Imperial Imperial Family chooses its heir in the three hundred and forty-first years of the Empire, have you mocked and denigrated the honor of the Orlando Imperial Family in public, and have you said that 'it is undoubtedly extremely foolish to choose the crown prince based on the date of birth, and the person who came up with this method is definitely a fool?", in the bright torture room, Colin was firmly bound to a cross made of pure iron, and he was bound to death with a noose made of old cow tendons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old beef tendon is an amazing thing, better than most known equipment. Among the customs of the Basra people is a form of punishment called sunburning, in which they tie old cow tendons soaked in salt water around the neck in a circle, which is neither tight nor loose. Then they tied the man hand and foot and threw him out into the sun. The soaked old beef tendon will gradually become dry under the sun, and it will be tightened more and more, and eventually the person who will be punished will be strangled to death little by little.

The most cruel thing about this kind of criminal law is that every person who has been tortured has to feel the process from survival to death little by little, and this process is extremely clear. From being able to breathe air unscrupulously, to being tightened in the neck and only enjoying the oxygen brought by breath to fill the alveoli, until finally unable to breathe, step by step towards death in infinite fear, even before death, people's consciousness is still awake.

Of course, not all tortured people will eventually die of suffocation, and some people are born with a lot of sweat, as long as they can flow enough sweat to moisten the old cow tendons on their necks to survive the whole execution, all the mistakes and guilt they have committed will be forgiven by the people of Basra. The Basra believed that this was a revelation from heaven that the gods had forgiven the sinner by surviving. He is like a newborn, who will not be despised and troubled by people because of his past mistakes and guilt, but will be loved by many people - people like the people who are loved by the gods, and in this way they will be closer to the gods.

In the recorded history of the Basra people, only a handful of people have managed to survive for thousands of years.

The old cow tendon has become the favorite equipment of many executioners who love torture. There are many advantages to using old beef tendon to bind, one is that it is soft enough after soaking and has strong plasticity. The second is that the old beef tendon is very difficult to cut, unlike ropes and the like, as long as something is sharp, even a sharp brick corner can be sharpened. Even if you cut it with a very sharp knife, it will take at least a few minutes or even longer.

In addition, the natural tightening effect after drying can deepen psychological fear, so many executioners love this thing.

Hugo, too, is no exception. During his time in Ortlenburg, he did not learn anything more advanced or how to handle government affairs. He spent all his time studying torture. What is Ortlenburg? Once the capital of chaos, the city of sin, it was full of executioners, perverted butchers, serial killers and criminals of all stripes. These people ask them an academic question, and they may not even understand it. But you ask them for advice on killing, how to inflict more brutal psychological and physical torture on a person, who is an expert.

A dagger in Hugo's hand, which was only three inches long, flew back and forth in his hand, and the light refracted when it flew made the dagger dexterous like a butterfly that flapped its wings and wanted to run away, but it couldn't get rid of Hugo's palm.

Looking at Hugo, Colin pressed his mouth tightly and closed his eyes. He knew very well that if he was caught here, he would definitely not let him get out of the way. The more things you confess, the more sins you will suffer in the future, and all you have to do now is to keep your mouth shut and not give Hugo and Wren a chance to attack. And he believed that Wren's forced break-into of his estate to take him and the other Bachelors and Neighborhood Councillors would inevitably spread in a very short time.

The group of bachelors is also relatively independent, and these people with superior knowledge are more united and xenophobic than one might think. Just like the circle of the aristocracy, there may be contradictions and conflicts between them, but they will definitely remain consistent on the big issues and directions. Wren's actions infuriate the Bachelors' long-cultivated pride and arrogance, and they will inevitably do everything they can to rescue Colin and condemn Wren to find a way to get him in trouble and prove the special and noble nature of the Bachelor's circle.

So what Colin needs to do now is to hold on and get out there to rescue him.

There was a contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth, which was particularly glaring, making the corners of Hugo's eyes twitch. The flying dagger changed from extreme movement to extreme silence, and stopped in his hand. The glow of dark blue metal flowed back and forth with his movements, and he walked up to Colin and looked at the guy carefully. It's his habit, and he likes to look at his prey carefully before making a move.

Colin is well maintained, and the social status brought by the title of bachelor allows him to have enough confidence and dignity even when facing nobles. At the same time, this title also brings him a large financial benefit base, allowing him to have enough time and financial resources to make his life better.

Although he is in his fifties, Colin only looks like he is in his forties, with fine skin and tender flesh, and a pampered life that gives him a touch of nobility. His eyes were closed, but his eyelashes were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that his heart at this moment was far less calm and calm than his face showed. He wears a very expensive handmade jacket with personal letterhead and signature behind the collar, which should not be cheap.

The garment was sprinkled with red wine, and Colin was stomped on the ground when he was arrested, making the garment look very dirty. Hugo gestured, a little disappointed, this Colin is a little wider than him, and the clothes will look nondescript when worn on Hugo's body. He touched Colin's pocket, Colin opened his eyes, pretended to be calm and glanced at Hugo fiercely, and then slowly closed it, with a settling face.

Hugo smiled, after entering this place, it was a question of whether he could stand up and go out, and he still wanted revenge?

Colin had a small money pouch in his pocket, which Hugo pulled out and weighed, about a gold coin or two and some silver. Living in the market for a long time, he has become very sensitive to the sound of gold and silver coins, so he put the money bag into his pocket and continued to grope around Colin's body. Eventually, he found a gemstone ring, a magic pocket watch, and a few small and inconspicuous parts.

The gemstone ring and the money bag did not satisfy Hugo much, it was this magic pocket watch that really satisfied him. The magicians, who have gone further and further down the road, proposed the miniaturization of the magic pedestal more than 200 years ago in Orlando, and have achieved remarkable results in the decades that followed. Now the magicians who have mastered this technique, I am afraid that there will be no more than fifty people in the entire world, they either belong to a certain great force, or they belong to the Truth Society, and most of them live in the imperial capital.

When the miniature Tiberium hedron inlaid on a part passes through the magic base in the process of movement, and the Tiberium spar touches the transformation array used to disassemble the Tiberium spar into power, the magic base is instantly activated, bursting out with a slight but powerful force enough to push the part to rotate in a circle. In this way, the magic pocket watch is enough to be used for three months to six months, without the need for manual energy. At the same time, every time the magic pedestal is activated, it will burst out with brilliant elemental primary colors, although it is fleeting, but it is enough to embellish the beauty and luxury of the pocket watch.

Such a pocket watch often costs more than 100 gold coins, and if it is a famous masterpiece, it can cost as much as 300 gold coins.

Hugo took Colin's pocket watch, and Colin, who had been indifferent, had to open his eyes, although he was still wealthy, but a magic pocket watch was also a valuable and beloved item that he hesitated for a long time to buy to decorate his identity. He swept his gaze over his pocket watch, and finally settled on Hugo's face, "Keep it, I'm sure it won't be long before you'll put it back where it belongs." ”

Hugo smiled indifferently and put the pocket watch in his arms, the pure gold chain bit the inside pocket of his coat, and he nodded very satisfied, "Very suitable, thank you, Mr. Colin." ”

Colin closed his eyes angrily.

After a moment's pause, Hugo continued the initial topic, "Mr. Colin, you may not be very clear about the style of my great master, the Count of Wren. My great master will either not do it, or if he does, he will definitely hit the nail on the head, leaving you with no room for luck or chance. If I were you, I would be extremely cooperative, and maybe only in this way can you find a glimmer of life. After he finished speaking, he paused, and his tone was extraordinarily sincere, "Believe me, all the words come from my heart." I just wanted to help you, Mr. Colin. ”

Colin's heart was uneasy, fear, anger, and confusion mixed together, making him panic, he wanted to close his mouth and use silence to fight Wren's atrocities, but he wanted to say something to relieve his tension and anxiety. He reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the gold chain of the pocket watch exposed from Hugo's chest, and said sarcastically: "That's how you helped me? ”

"It's just what I get paid, Mr. Colin. I still have the patience to talk to you calmly because of these things. If you run out of patience, you will understand what kind of heaven you have missed. Hugo took out a small piece of cowhide from his trouser pocket and began to wipe the dagger in his hand, he lowered his head and looked extremely focused, "One last chance, Mr. Colin, don't miss it." ”

Colin sneered and closed his eyes again.

However, Hugo did not torture him, humiliate him, and curse him as he expected. On the contrary, he felt that his thighs were cold, as if he had been hit. He didn't know what was happening, but he knew he didn't feel any pain from it.

Hugo seemed to take a few steps back, but gradually, Colin sensed that something was wrong. He felt a stream of heat run down his thighs and down his calves, eventually falling from his ankles to his heels, wetting his socks. The socks became heavy, and the heat flow became cold, and a faint and intense pain began to appear slowly.

He opened his eyes and looked into his thigh, a half-inch-long gash slowly bleeding outward. Blood soaked his pants, socks, and eventually dripped to the ground.

"I used more than thirty people to do this experiment, and most of them had injuries like this, and they could last anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes. Their consciousness first begins to become foggy, gibberish, then silent, powerless, chills, and eventually their mouths shut up forever. Hugo was also like a bachelor at this time, but the knowledge he had learned made Colin feel frightened, "I would like to know, Mr. Colin, will such a noble person last a little longer than others?"

"You demon!", Colin gritted his teeth and roared, "Do you know what you're doing? you're murdering a scholar with the title of Bachelor of the Empire, you're committing a crime, and you and Wren don't have the right to judge me at will without evidence!", his eyes were scarlet and angry, but Hugo shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He found this movement very interesting, and when he did it, it was enough to express a very complex meaning from a personal point of view, and it was also comfortable enough, so he likes it very much now.

"Hugo, you are still young, and it looks like you are only seventeen, eight, nine?", Colin calmed down in his rage and panic, and tried to convince Hugo in a different way.

"I'm in my early twenties. ”

The ability to communicate means that there is still a chance, and Colin continued: "You still have a great future and a bright future, and there is no need to take such a heavy risk for an ugly nobleman. You know, murdering a bachelor is not a small crime, and many people will stand up against you and want to kill you. While it's still too late, hurry up and stop the bleeding for me, and then we'll get out together. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders again, walked over to the wall and sat down in a chair, he looked at Colin with his legs crossed, and then pointed to his feet.

Colin was stunned for a moment, looked down, and his face turned three points whiter. There was a hollow the size of a basin at his feet, and it was now filled with blood, and it was almost halfway there.

At this time, Hugo said: "If blood fills this pit, it means that you are free." He took a deep breath, held his head up with his chest straight, his eyes slightly squinted, and a look of intoxication. He opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the air, "Both the body and the soul have been given eternal freedom, eternal freedom!"
