Chapter 106: Avenge her
The King's Tower, an underground prison, secretly holds a vicissitudes of human life.
He was nearly 100 years old, his hair had almost fallen out, and he had an upside-down white beard on his chin.
His eyes were closed, his mouth open, no teeth in his mouth, his bony face was about the size of a skeleton, his arms and legs were fastened to stone pillars by four chains, and his whole body was arranged into a multiplier sign.
It is hard to imagine how an old man in his last years could endure this kind of torture.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the cell door, and it seemed that someone was trying to open it outside.
The old man remained motionless, as if he were dead, as if he had not heard of it.
The sound quickly died down, and after a few moments, the whole door magically twisted and disappeared in place with the surrounding walls.
At this time, the old man finally opened his eyes.
Outside the ruined door, there stood a vague black shadow, and an owl-man Coyne whom he had seen several times.
"That's him." Coyin pointed to the old man and said to Lin You.
Lin You agreed, and slowly stepped forward to check.
He placed the torch in his hand in front of the old man, letting the light illuminate their faces.
When the old man raised his eyelids and saw Lin You's face, he finally spoke, "...... Mankind? β
His old voice trembled, weak, and gave the impression that he would be exhausted at any moment.
"You are the Archmage of the 'Beastmaster' Kai?" Lin You asked in order to confirm.
At this time, Coyne interjected behind him, "He's the archmage, I'...... Can I go now? β
He looked very scared and trembling, and it seemed that he wanted to run away now.
Previously, Lin You happened to meet Coyne who was ordered to come to check in the room, and almost made him a ghost, but later Lin You asked him many times, and finally asked a big secret - the previous archmage was still alive!
And the old man was a humanβthe only human who hadn't been killed.
Because he still has use value.
The secret art he mastered was what Lothar most desired, and Lothar pressed him countless times to drain all his knowledge and wisdom, but the old mage refused to hand it over.
Eventually, he was imprisoned in the darkness of the underground, where he was tortured.
After hearing the news from Coyne, Lin You immediately forced him to bring himself.
On the way, Coyin deliberately took the wrong way several times, and even wanted to take Lin You to a dangerous place, so he took the opportunity to escape for his life, but he saw through it all.
In the end, the cunning owl-man really had no choice but to bring him here.
Now that he has proposed to leave again, how can the little bad thought in his stomach escape Lin You's eyes?
Of course, Lin You wouldn't let him run to ventilate the news, "You stand there for me and don't move, I'll chop off one of your hands when I take a step, don't die and find a way out." β
After viciously warning Coyne, Lin You pulled out his knife, cut the chains on the old man's hands and feet, and put him down.
The old man was tortured to the point that his whole body was dry, and he was left with a set of bones, and he was in a terrible state.
But he still insisted on standing, and cheered up, and asked Lin You: "Yes...... The Beastmaster asked you to come? β
The "Beastmaster" in his mouth of course refers to the former Beastmaster, Kai.
Lin You said honestly, "No, I came by myself, he didn't know that you were still alive, but he needs your help now." β
After hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Please elaborate...... Ahem! Let's see if I can help with my old life. β
Lin You saw that he was not in good shape, so he had to briefly talk about the matter of the Beastmaster.
After listening to this, the old man couldn't help but get excited, "Okay! Good! Good! β
He said three "good" words in a row, and grabbed Lin You's arm tightly, "Where is he?" Let me meet him. β
Lin You shook his head and said, "He is in a deep sleep now and can't come out, I think...... You may have a solution. β
"How?" The old man suddenly raised his eyelids and glanced at Coyin at the door, "There is naturally a way...... But to perform the Soul Locking Technique, you need to have a container. β
Lin You also glanced at the door, and instantly understood what he meant.
The old man stretched out his dry fingers, pointed at Coyin, and said to Lin You: "The old man has no strength, bother him, let him come over." β
Lin You nodded, walked over, and lifted Coynne up like a chicken.
At this time, Coyin finally panicked, he thought that Lin You was going to kill him, opened his mouth and screamed for help, the voice echoed in the empty corridor, and it sounded extremely loud.
Lin You smashed a punch on the back of his head, making him completely stop.
"Oops, I accidentally knocked me unconscious, it's okay, right?" Lin You asked.
The old man shook his head, "It's okay, it's better to say this way......"
He took a few steps forward, then held out his fingers in front of Coyne's head, squeezing a few drops of blood out of his dry fingertips.
As soon as these few drops of blood came out, his whole body quickly withered, as if all his remaining vitality had been exhausted.
Lin You was really worried that he would die like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
The old man waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I don't care, you can take out the soul of the beastmaster......
Although Lin You was a little afraid that his body would not be able to hold on, without further ado, he would definitely be discovered if he dragged it too long, and now he could only pin his hopes on him.
So according to his words, he took out the soul box.
The old man looked at the box with a more serious expression, and he silently recited the incantation in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to the soul box.
The process was extremely difficult, the old man moved slowly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, looking very difficult.
Such a dry body could still sweat, which made Lin You feel a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, the old man took out a ball of light from the box and quickly put it into Koyin's body, at this time, a blood-colored magic circle appeared in front of Koyin, and the old man continued to cast spells, and the blood-colored light became more and more vigorous.
For a moment, Lin You seemed to hear a roar from the ground, as if something was starting to come out of this room......
The magic circle emitted a strange blood light, and after a dazzling flash of light, the old man fell to the ground like a lamp running out of oil, and the magic circle disappeared with it.
Lin You was still unclear and was about to ask, when Coyin, who was beside him, opened his eyes.
The momentum on his body was completely different from before, as if he had changed people, and even his standing posture became more erect.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Coyne" looked at the old man and let out a voice full of majesty, but Lin You heard sadness from the calm words.
The old man looked at "Coyne", and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile of relief.
His lips moved slightly, and he sat up straight as if he had returned to the light, and uttered a few heavy words with the last of his strength.
"Avenge her ......"
