56 Ambushes other than ambushes
Tonight's events happened too suddenly, as many young wizards dragged their feet at the banquet and Madame Chelsea did not wipe out all the enemies.
However, there are still many of them, who are entangled and imprisoned by her, or by the "pets" she raises, and even swallowed in their stomachs.
Now, these captives have naturally become the "honored guests" received by the interrogators under the command of Madame.
Red-hot soldering irons, tough leather whips, spiked coffins, and even bloody skinning ......
These worldly tortures have risen to an infinite level of cruelty under the influence of some wonderful magic that sharpens the senses, clears the mind, makes the pain more intense, and even overdraws one's life, making it difficult to die for a while.
However, no matter how the interrogators tortured the prisoners, no matter how terrible the screams of the prisoners were filled with fear and pain, there were even those who cried out in horror and wailed.
None of them revealed any useful information.
In the gloomy underground prison illuminated by a brazier, Mrs. Chelsea sat quietly in the hall at the entrance of the prison, listening to all kinds of screams coming one after another, her expression was calm, she lowered her head from time to time, and took a sip of the hot ginger tea in her handβ
Last time, she used this kind of tea to warm the palace and drive away the cold, and the effect was not bad, so she asked the life housekeeper in the manor to prepare a batch.
"In the case of extreme suffering, there is a chance that the will of these people will break through the secret spell applied to them, but the chance is very low, and it usually takes a long time, so you need to be prepared."
A delicate-looking young woman in a traditional linen dress stood beside her and said in a respectful tone:
"But if you can use the elixir, I think they'll reveal everything they know."
The Secret Word Spell is one of the more well-known secret spells in the wizarding world.
A wizard who has been subjected to this spell can only talk about the secret with someone who has also been cast a secret spell and knows the same secret.
If an outsider wants to know the secret, unless he overhears the relevant conversation or sees the relevant clues, it is impossible for the person in control of the secret to consciously leak the information to outsiders.
But the spell isn't without a solution.
There are two types of common ways to crack it.
One is to make the recipient extremely painful, so that their will has a chance to break through the bondage of the spell.
The other type is the use of potions.
However, the potions are so precious that no one wants to use them lightly unless they are forced to do so.
Mrs. Chelsea, of course, did not hesitate to use this potion against her enemies.
In fact, because she was assassinated, she had refined a dose of truth elixir a while ago.
However, because of the success rate, she only has one dose in her current inventory.
The people who are being tortured at the moment are basically some innocuous little minions, and it is a waste to use them on them.
"Let's wait and see."
Mrs. Chelsea responded with no saltiness.
"If those who slipped through the net choose to take revenge on my students, they will not be able to escape our ambush."
β¦β¦
Mrs. Chelsea, who seemed to have given Mellen only a small snake to defend herself, had actually secretly sent men to guard against Mellen on her way back to the Half-Blood Association.
So if the enemy will retaliate against Mellen on the road, then of course the enemy will not escape the trap set by Mrs. Chelsea.
The reason for this, of course, was that she also thought that if the enemy wanted to take revenge on Meren, tonight was the best time.
Because after tonight, the Chelsea family, and even other wizarding families under its command, will send a large number of people to blockade Graham City, and even launch an in-depth search.
After all, the successive accidents proved that there are a lot of gutter rats in the city.
If she didn't close the door and investigate and clean it up, it would be too detrimental to her identity as the person behind the scenes of the city.
"Do you think they're going to retaliate?"
The young woman whispered, "Since they can spread poison schemes one after another, they shouldn't be the kind of people who can't hold their breath, right?" β
"They didn't know that Melen was my student."
With that, Mrs. Chelsea chuckled.
"They just think he's a half-blood wizard who was lucky enough to be picked by Kevin, and in this case, of course, there is a risk of revenge, but the risk is not too high."
"But what can they gain by taking revenge on your students other than venting their emotions?"
"It's not about emotions."
Madame pointed to the other party: "If you lead a team to carry out a mission in the enemy's territory, you need to take into account the morale of your subordinates, otherwise if you are not careful, there is a high chance of accidents in this team." β
"Especially when we lock down the city and they have to completely lurk, there must be a pacification action."
The beautiful woman was stunned when she heard this.
The conversation ended, and a series of terrible screams from the depths of the dungeon became the only movement in the hall.
However, this did not affect the lady's calm drinking of tea, and from time to time to give some instructions through the Book of Secret Words.
She was actually waiting for news.
News from here, or from the ambush over there.
As long as there is information that can determine the location of the enemy, then she will no longer hesitate to go to the enemy's location to chase and kill herself, so as not to catch her off guard if there is any accident during the process.
However, just as Mrs. Chelsea was thinking so, something caught her off guard happened again-
In the Book of Secret Words, the pages corresponding to her schoolboy kept appearing line after line of information.
This information was silently told to her as her men determined whether the enemy was embarking on a vengeance operation halfway.
This little guy who was targeted by the enemy as the object of revenge has run to the enemy's lair unscrupulously and "hangs" around.
"I didn't actually expect it, but if I tried the boots Kevin sent me halfway through, I could meet those two guys."
"Then I followed them, and I heard their men running to ambush me."
"Then, I heard them trying to betray their organization, so I followed them to see if I could do something about it."
"And then I'm going to empty their treasury in a daze......"
"But no one should have noticed that I did it, those two idiots didn't enter the door when I left, and when they broke the door and entered, others would only think that they had other accomplices who had emptied the treasure......"
Looking at the lines of writing that appeared in front of her on the page, Mrs. Chelsea was silent.
Or rather, I don't know what to say anymore.
Tonight's banquet seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface, but not long after her student went, she turned out a group of enemies from inside, and directly saved the lives of a large number of people, not to mention, he himself reaped a bunch of benefits.
Right now, just a few hours after the banquet, the enemy was running to take revenge on him, but not only did they not catch anyone, but their lair was swept by the target of revenge......
And then his own student reaped a bunch of benefits......
If it weren't for Mellen's character, Mrs. Chelsea would even think that she, a junior apprentice, had come to her to brag.
Or in your dreams!
There was a complex emotion surging in her heart, and on the surface, Madame simply replied, "I know." β
Then, she turned the page to the corresponding page of one of her subordinates, and was about to ask him to change his plan of action, when a message came from the opposite side.
"It's been determined that the enemy is ambushing Bread Worm Street, not far from the Half-Blood Society, ma'am, but they've disguised themselves with illusion runes, and the exact number of people is uncertain."
If the news had been seen a minute earlier, Mrs. Chelsea would have acted on it.
But now, she felt a sense of absurdity inexplicably.
A team of elite wizards went to search for a group of fish that had slipped through the net, and the results were not as fruitful as her apprentice's casual strolling......
This is certainly due to the fact that the enemy is cautious and disguised, but it is also too imbecile in comparison......
However, just when Mrs. Chelsea thought that what she had experienced today was complicated enough, Mellen sent her a large message again.
A piece of news that made her face change color.
