"One, two......"

The moment Ringer stepped out of the door of the punishment chamber, Tracy opened her lips and began to count.

At Ringer's request, Tassie leaves the punishment chamber with him, while Tarantino returns to another dimension.

In the blink of an eye, Tracy was the only one left in the dark punishment chamber, reclining on the cold white bone chair, her left hand resting her cheek, her right hand swinging the chains, the crescent moon hooks at the end of the chains circling her hand.

"Five, six......" she counted unhurriedly.

Outside the punishment room, there was no sound.

"Seven, eight......" The corners of Tracy's mouth rose, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

“…… Ten! Hey, I'm here to get you. ”

But she still sat lazily on the bone chair, only with a flick of her wrist and the chains.

Crescent Hook rushed out of the punishment chamber door with his chains, turned a corner, and turned to the side where Ringer had departed.

"Run, let me see how long you can hide."

The chains that lit the green flame stretched rapidly, and after seven or eight seconds, they suddenly stopped.

"Hey, hit."

Tracy jerked back, and the chains quickly recovered, dragging a green phantom back to the punishment chamber a few seconds later.

The chains were wrapped around the soul, and the crescent hook was embedded in the place of his heart.

But not Ringer's soul, but a demon still serving his sentence in the prison on the seventh floor, whose name she had forgotten.

The prisoners in the prison had to endure her torture for at least an hour before she remembered their names. If you can't last more than a day, after a long time, you will be forgotten by her.

The demon who had been lured into the punishment chamber seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream, and fell to his knees, trembling all over.

"Mistress Tracy, spare ......"

Before she finished speaking, Tracy's chain "tail" floated, and the green-gold skull at the end opened its mouth, and a powerful suction force instantly sucked the innocent soul in.

The green gold skull trembled, and there seemed to be an oozing laugh in the dark eyes.

"Oh, I used my prisoner to block the hook," Tracy wasn't annoyed, but was getting amused, "but then it didn't work." ”

With a flick of his slender wrist, the crescent hook cut through the air again and flew out at great speed.

After more than ten seconds, the chain stalled again and again, and there was a slight vibration.

With her white fingers on the chain, Tracy laughed as she felt the vibration.

"Want to get in my way?"

Fingertips tapped lightly on the chain twice, and the green flames surrounding the chain suddenly skyrocketed.

Soon, the chains were quickly retracted again.

Another green phantom was hooked into the punishment chamber.

Tracy looked at the soul of Tassie with an unyielding face and praised: "I have to admit that you are a qualified knight, willing to give your life and soul for the object of allegiance. ”

Tassie glared at her.

"If my sword were still around, I would have severed your chains."

"If you have a chance, you can try it."

Tracy said nonchalantly, the chain tail behind her raised again, and the green-gold skull at the end opened its mouth and sucked Tassie's soul in.

"You're next, Tongue Demon, there's no one to stand in your way this time." The corners of Tracy's mouth lifted and she hooked again.

The crescent hook dragged the chains and shot out the door.

"Yes."

Tracy smiled, but then frowned.

The end of the chain was too heavy, neither the soul nor the flesh of Ringer.

She frowned slightly, tugged back, and the chains began to retract.

This time, it turned out to be Kegie who hooked it back.

The chains were wrapped around the black iron cage, and the crescent hook was stuck in the cage post, so that her soul was not ripped out.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Tracy, I was going to help you stop him, but his magic ......" Kaigie's seven hands and eight legs swung together to explain.

"Needless to say, it's a heart snatcher, it's normal that you can't prevent it."

Tracy waved her hand, and the chain wrapped around the cage was withdrawn.

"What about chewing bones? Was it also affected by the Mind Flayer? "Chewing bones has a fierce temperament, so it shouldn't be so easy to be influenced.

"No, but Chew Bone doesn't dare to come near him."

"Why is that?" Tracy was stunned for a moment.

"Chew Bone said that he had scent marks left by other spiders on his body, and that breath made him feel fear hidden deep in his veins, so he didn't dare to approach him."

"Oh? Is it. Tracy felt more and more amused and threw the chains again.

"He's escaped to the third level, and when I found him, he was trying to summon something." Seeing this, Kage reported Ringer's whereabouts.

Tracy nodded, tapping lightly on the chain in her hand.

Twenty seconds later, the crescent hook hit the target again, this time with a fluttering head.

Soon, the chains were retracted, and a piece of clothing hung from the hook, the white shirt worn by Ringer.

"Clothes?"

Tracy looked at the white shirt on the hook, her wrist flicked, the chains swung, and the clean white shirt cracked under the chains, turning into pieces and scattering on the ground.

The crescent hook shot out again.

Half a minute later, he returned with a pair of black pants.

Tracy looked at the pants on the hook and swung the chains, tearing them from her crotch.

"Hmph, your clothes and pants are gone, I see if you have anything to take off, give it to me."

Swish.

The Crescent Hook strikes again.

This time, however, there was no response for a long time.

One minute, two minutes, until five minutes, the chains sent out by Tracy seemed to get lost, circling back and forth in the same place.

"Huh? Where did he hide? ”

The smile on Tracy's face vanished, and she closed her eyes, a wisp of soul spreading along the chains, reaching the hook at the end.

She "saw" a corridor, a branch corridor on the west side of the lowest floor, flanked by prisons, and at the end of which there was a corner, and in the corner was a blocked wall.

This is where Ringer left his last breath.

Her chains wandered through the blocked corridors, through every cell, but there was no sign of Ringer.

Tracy's brow furrowed even deeper.

The underground prison she controls is a huge whole, engraved with a large number of magic arrays and runes that stabilize the space, and the internal space of the prison is completely blocked, whether it is a spatial scroll or a teleportation technique, it is useless here.

But, where is that guy hiding?

It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

She opened her eyes, and the chains in her hands began to shrink rapidly, but this time instead of retracting the hook, she was pulled out of the punishment chamber by the chains.

She flew out of the door with a chair and sped along the trail of chains. She was going to see for herself the place where Ringer had disappeared.

……

Ringer was in the cold darkness.

There was no light, but he could see it. It is a closed stone chamber with little space and no visible exits.

The only possible exit was a circular stone slab beneath his feet, with runes engraved on it.

He was teleported here by the magic array that suddenly appeared at his feet, and probably he could only get out by teleporting.

After leaving the punishment chamber, he wanted to find a hidden corner, use the key to summon the door spirit, and return to the emerald. As long as he returns to Emerald, Tracy will not be able to catch him.

But it took about a minute to summon the Door Spirit, and Tracy's chain quickly caught up with him, not giving him the time.

When the chains first struck, he summoned Tarantino, then opened the nearest cage and freed the prisoner inside, who became a scapegoat under the shock of Tarantino's mind.

After the chains hooked the prisoner's soul, he retreated.

As he continued to summon the door spirits, the chains were gone and returned before he could succeed, and he had to flee again.

On the way, he opened another cage and tried to repeat the trick, but found that it didn't work, and this time the chains automatically bypassed the prisoner, as if they had locked his breath.

When the prisoner saw the green chains, he immediately retracted into the open cell.

After several more chases, he finally strayed into a corner, and there was no way to escape, and at this time he was only left with a pair of pants.

He was considering whether to use the last of his pants to create an escape opportunity when a magic circle suddenly appeared under his feet, and after a burst of purple-black light flashed in front of him, he appeared in this stone room.

Cold, dark, deathly silence.

He saw the black square altar in the center of the stone chamber, not tall, but engraved with mysterious runes, and the bottom of the altar was surrounded by the lines of the magic array.

And on the altar, there was a snow-white ice coffin, releasing a biting chill.

Ringer stared at the ice coffin for a moment, but found no movement, so he took out the emerald key and planned to summon the door spirit here.

Whatever was in that ice coffin, he wasn't going to explore. Just give him a minute, and he can summon the Door Spirit and get out of here.

As for Tassie, there is no need to worry, she has already accepted the identity of the Undead Knight, and even if it falls into the hands of Tracy, there will be no danger.

And Lanya and Kani should be safe together.

Once you're back at Emerald, just teleport to Elvi's castle through the Doorspirit and pick her up.

Fortunately, she didn't go to prison with her, otherwise she would have been caught and things would have been difficult.

The shadow of the wooden door condensed in the darkness, and Ringer kept an eye on the ice coffin on the altar.

"I saved you, and you're just leaving?"

The sudden sound of the darkness made him feel excited.

The sound came from the altar.

It's a woman's voice, and it's quite sweet and pleasant.

"Who are you?" The Door Spirit was about to condense soon, and Ringer decided to delay for a moment with words.

"Hey, don't you run, that door leads to emeralds, right? I didn't expect you to be able to summon it here. ”

The other party's words once again made Ringer's heart full of doubts.

She actually knows about Emeralds? Is it a customer in the store?

"Who the hell are you?" He asked again.

"Guess what." The mysterious man in the ice coffin said playfully.

By this time, the door in front of Ringer had completely materialized, and he poked the key into the keyhole.

“…… If you don't, I'll go. ”

"Hey, wait, don't be in such a hurry, just kidding you, I don't have any sense of humor."

With a click, Ringer unscrewed the lock, pushed open the door, stood by the door, and stepped in one step.

"I'm coming out, don't go."

Ringer looked at the ice coffin on the altar.

Bang!

A skull opens the coffin board and rushes out of the ice coffin.

Long black hair, white skin like ice and snow, and a face that is extremely beautiful.

A superb beauty head.

The dazzling beauty suddenly brightens up the dim stone chamber.

Seeing this beautiful head, a name instantly appeared in Ringer's heart.

Under the castle of the Headless Horseman, the hidden room hidden in the underground prison, and the motive to help him, all kinds of conditions are intertwined, and the identity of the head in front of him is about to be revealed.

"Elvie?" He exclaimed.

Elvie laughed, "Yes, I didn't say it yet, you guessed it." ”

"Is it really you, is this who you really are?"

"That's right, this is the real head I've hidden, how is it, isn't it beautiful?"

Elvi seemed confident in her looks, with a proud expression. She does have a beauty to be proud of, and if ordinary people see this extremely beautiful head, they will be instantly fascinated.

Ringer was surprised: "So you hide your head in this kind of place, does your warden know?" ”

"Don't worry, she doesn't know that I hid my head in a prison, and she won't find it." Elvie laughed, "You're the first to enter here. ”

Ringer was taken aback by hearing Elvie's words, which meant that he was probably the only one who knew where Elvie's head was.

"You're not afraid that I'll leak the location of your head?" Ringer couldn't help but think of her warhorse, Artiles.

When the beautiful centaur lady came to the store last week, she said she wanted to find Elvie's head, but based on her demeanor at the time, it probably wasn't a friendly purpose.

"You wouldn't do that, would you?" Elvie's dark crystal eyes stared at Ringer, a sign of trust in her eyes.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Ringer couldn't help but nod his head.

Seeing Ringer nodding, a bright smile bloomed on Elvie's face.

"I knew you wouldn't." "And I'm getting out of here." ”

"You've found a new place to hide your head?"

"Yes, it's a safer place than here."

Ringer didn't ask where it was, but he noticed that Elvie's gaze suddenly burned and she was firmly fixed on him.

"What's wrong? Something on my face? ”

"That place, only you can take me."

Ringer was stunned.

"Are you talking about ......?"

"Yes, I would like to ask you to take my head to another world." Elvi had an expectant smile on her face, "That way, my enemies on this side will never be able to find my head again." ”

Ringer suddenly realized something.

"Is that what you're asking me to help for?"

"So to speak," Advi admitted, "but I do admire the knight named Tassie, and it would be a shame if she was tortured to the point of collapse by Tracy." ”

"But honestly, I didn't expect you to get rid of that paladin, and I didn't expect you to have a Mind Flayer as a demon. Your conflict with Tracy wasn't going to happen in my imagination. I'm sorry for that. ”

Ringer's expression softened, and he saw Elvie's cheeks flushed and her eyes wandering.

"But it must be exciting to be chased by her chains, right?"

The amazement of Elvie's true face burst like a bubble at the first sight, and the beautiful impression that Elvi left in his heart was immediately corrected.

Tsk, I was almost deceived by her appearance, this is her true face.
