The dim lights flickered, making the thirsty blood stains on the walls even more permeating. The smell of blood, which had long been melted into the walls, reawakened as the temperature gradually rose, hitting people's nostrils.

Torture room.

As soon as he entered, Xingji's brows furrowed, the smell and environment here made him very uneasy, even if his mind was already precocious, but after all, he was only sixteen years old, to be precise, he was still a child, this kind of place, not to mention him, even those murderous Jiangyang thieves would also be afraid.

Shaw Senrad, still dressed in a crisp military uniform, sat behind a square table surrounded by several jailers.

"My lord, the prisoner has been brought. A jailer saluted Shosenard.

Shaw Sennard bowed slightly, his gaze was already locked on him when the star mark entered, and the gaze full of majesty made him, who was already apprehensive about the environment of the torture room, his face show an unnatural paleness.

"Who are you willing to say is the mastermind?" Looking at the star mark, Shawsonard's deep voice sounded, although not loud, but it burrowed into the star mark like a spell.

"I said~ I said it all! As long as the punishment of deboning is not carried out. Starmark was begging for mercy, like a frightened child, his voice trembling.

"Boning?" Shaw Senard raised his eyebrows, he himself admired Andre very much, especially when Andre took responsibility for his teammates, Shaw Sonard himself admired this young soldier a little. So when Andre said that Starmark was his brother, Shawsonard had already decided to give them a happy death, and did not think of deboning Starmark, as can be seen from the fact that they had not been tortured for so long. But at this time, Starmark showed such a frightened look, and took the initiative to recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, in Shawsonard's opinion, the credit for all this should be attributed to Andre who was imprisoned with Starmark, it must have been what he said to Starmark, so scared that the child could no longer pretend to be calm, although the death penalty could not be removed, but Shawsonard had already considered whether to use beheading to execute the two to alleviate the pain.

sighed lightly in his heart, for Andre, Shaw Senrad actually couldn't bear to be executed, everyone has the heart of talent, and he also has it. And Andre's talent, whether it is the speed of cultivation or the command of operations, is the best Andre has seen in the past few decades. If there was no such thing, Andre had already decided to promote Andre after he returned to the team, and conduct key training, so that he could begin to move towards the top of the military. It's just that all of this was destroyed because of the Overseer's Sword, and even if he felt a pity, Shawsonard could only sigh to himself, as for the order of execution, it would never be changed.

His expression remained indifferent, Shawsonard looked at the star mark and said slowly: "I can agree to your request, but don't think that you can deceive me by saying just one person, if you dare to lie, then not only will you not be able to avoid the punishment of deboning, but also the punishment of cracking."

"The Punishment of the Rift?" Starmark looked at Shosenard with a somewhat flustered look.

Shawsonard did not speak, and the jailer, who was standing next to him, reached out to the shape of a pair of scissors, and then gestured a few times over the side of his mouth.

Starmark saw the jailer's gestures, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "I will never dare to lie, the person who instructed me is the Great Sage Abner!"

"Great Sage Abner!" As soon as these few appeared, the room became audible, and all the jailers held their breath, their eyes wide and staring at the star.

Even Shawsonard's face changed slightly, and his breath stagnated. And they are not to blame, because Abner's reputation is too great. Although he was not an official in the court, if he said a word, then even the emperor had to think carefully. Moreover, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible is the image of Abner in the kingdom of Rune, that is the savior, the sage, and everyone worships him as a god. If he wants to ascend to the heights, even if it is a change of dynasty, I am afraid it will not be difficult.

So when Starmark said that it was Abner's instructions, Shawsonard's first reaction was not to judge the truth of this sentence, but to quickly think about what he had done, which angered the great sage. Even if he is now the commander of one of the three major legions, the loyal pillar of the country, in front of Abner's prestige, his position is as thin as a piece of paper.

Starmark naturally felt the sudden change in the atmosphere of the scene, and was a little surprised that Abner was so powerful, no wonder no one was willing to give him charity in the first place. Of course, in addition to being surprised, he was sneering more in his heart, "Stinky old man, this time I asked you to be buried with me!" Starmark naturally came to correct it in order to take revenge on Abner, his pale face and panicked expression can't be said to be all pretended, but it's almost the same.

However, this is not the end of it!, Starmark continued to feign horror and added anxiously.

"My lord, I am telling the truth, and the Great Sage of Abner told me that even if I am accidentally captured, he will save my life, and if you don't believe me, tell him about someone who has come to steal the Watchman's Sword, and he will definitely come forward when the time comes. ”

Originally, Shaw Senard was still skeptical, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he believed more than half of it. It's not just that Starmark acted too similarly, but the teenage age made Shaw Senard feel that he didn't have the courage to risk being tortured by a rift to tell such a meaningless lie. It's more because Abner's status is too special, he is the faith of the people, but in fact, for the ruler of the country, this kind of person is the biggest obstacle to governing the country, so Shaw Senrad has already received a secret decree to pay attention to Abner, if he has a different heart, then he can take some means when necessary.

Therefore, Starmark pointed at Abner at this time, which can be said to give the royal family a chance, if it was really Abner's instructions, then they had enough excuse to overthrow this "idol". Although there may be some waves from the public, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for long-term planning.

Starmark continued to explain anxiously, citing evidence, although these evidences had no practical significance, but after listening, coupled with Starmark's previous words to correct Abner, these evidences became countless silk threads, no matter how far they went, how many knots, they were finally connected to Abner. Starmark desperately defended, like a helpless and fearful big boy, the panic in his eyes gradually increased, completely drowning the coldness in his eyes.

Shawsenard listened to Starmark until a moment later, when he finally spoke, "Take him down, and take him to the execution ground tomorrow at noon with another criminal, Andre, and go to the gallows." ”

The star mark was taken down, but Shawsonard's face became more serious, he glanced at the people present with cold eyes, and everyone lowered their heads consciously. Then, Shawsonard left, although he didn't say anything, but these jailers understood that they were in trouble, and this matter can only rot in the stomach, once it is leaked, then not to mention the people present, I am afraid that even the family, will not live

Day 2

The execution site was located northeast outside the city of Prontera. A kilometer away from the execution ground, Starmark could smell a strong smell of blood, not only from the execution ground, but also in the surrounding woods. It felt as if there was an executed dead man buried under every tree around him, making Starmark's scalp tingle and creepy. Around the execution ground, there were hideous and strange stone statues arranged irregularly, adding up to thousands. Legend has it that this was once the place where the gods used to punish the gods who made mistakes, and finally the monstrous demons established the punishment ground, and those strange and terrifying stone statues are the gods and demons who were once executed here. The execution ground was very extensive, 20 hectares, surrounded by a wall 20 meters high, which was somewhat dilapidated and covered with blood stains that had dried up for an unknown number of centuries. Legend has it that many years ago, there were gods stationed on earth, and they protected humanity from the monsters of the wilderness and the abyss. God has been stationed in the world for thousands of years, and under the protection of God, human beings have gradually grown from a small race to the largest race on the continent.

But one day, the earth cracked, and endless monsters swarmed out. With the help of God, human beings stubbornly resisted the impact of monsters, but in the face of the monsters like a sea, in the end, humans still failed to resist, and even the gods could only be forced to retreat helplessly. And the final battle, and the place where the gods finally retreated, was this god's punishment field. And the strong smell of blood is the condensation of the monsters who died in the war and the blood of humans, and it will not be dispersed for thousands of years.

Entering the execution ground, Starmark looked around, and the layout in the execution ground was very simple. The whole execution ground was like a large sports field, surrounded by rows of seats, but those actions had long been corroded by the years and covered by moss. In the square in the middle of the execution ground, there are some torture instruments used for execution, such as gallows, knives and the like. Although these things seem to be a little old, they are much newer than this execution ground, and they were obviously moved in later, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Rune.

Dressed in a straight military uniform, he walked to a long table at the edge of the square and sat down, saying, "Bring them over, and in an hour, they will be hanged!"
