Chapter 14: Interrogating Lady Anne
Everything that happened today made Ron, the butler of the Red Leaf Castle in his fifties, incredible.
A few days ago, the Baron's eldest son, Wren Hall, took a wizard who could use spells to forcibly seize control of Momiji Castle from Baron Momiji.
But Wren Hall hasn't been arrogant for a few days, and the familiar face of his youth has actually returned.
He also used the momentum of thunder to sweep the cave, solved Rennes Hall, and regained control of Momiji Castle.
"Ray, Master Rest! Welcome back! ”
Already a white-haired castle steward, Ron choked up a name he had almost forgotten.
Walking out of the second brother's room, Lu Feng saw the housekeeper Ron, who was still a little familiar on his old face.
"You're Ron? That Ron, who was afraid to ride a horse and didn't dare accompany me into the tavern! ”
The wizard's memory was very good, and Lu Feng quickly recalled the identity of the person in front of him from the depths of his memory.
Ron's father was the steward of the previous generation of Momiji Castle.
Ron is two years younger than Lu Feng and is a good friend from childhood to adulthood.
Before going to the Trudo Continent to study, Lu Feng was a famous aristocratic young master in Red Leaf Town, eating, drinking, and riding, and was proficient in everything.
He is the leading big brother among his peers at Momiji Castle.
I thought that the eldest brother was gone, and the second brother was also terminally ill, and his young peers were already almost gone.
Lu Feng didn't expect that here, he would still be able to meet his brother in his youth.
"Ron, I just came back today, help me find a place to live, from now on, I plan to settle down in Red Leaf Town, never run away again, at this age, I am also ready to spend my old age in my hometown!"
Knowing that Ron inherited his father's housekeeping position in Red Leaf Castle, Lu Feng was not polite to Ron and pulled Ron to talk.
"Young Master Lester, I don't know what kind of shelter you need?"
For his former friends, Lu Feng was very easy-going, but Ron was very reserved, using honorifics in his speech.
made Lu Feng feel that there was an invisible estrangement between the two, and there was a feeling that they couldn't go back.
Lu Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
No matter how hot the emotion is, it has become cold in the consumption of more than 30 years.
He and him are not the original teenagers after all!
Talking to Ron, the butler, about the requirements for a place to live, Ron quickly thought of a suitable place.
"Master Lester, Kane Manor by the Red Leaf Lake is more in line with the requirements, with a large space, far from the residential area, and a road leading to the middle of the town......"
After listening to Ron's description, Lu Feng nodded with satisfaction and asked for this Kane Manor.
His status as a wizard doomed Lu Feng to be unsuitable for living in the Red Leaf Castle.
Even if Lu Feng takes the initiative to restrain the vitality field and lives in one place for a long time, the power of the vitality field escapes from the daily cultivation and life, which often affects the surrounding environment and creates some strange phenomena and creatures.
To avoid causing trouble, Lu Feng simply stayed away from Momiji Castle.
Ron responded to Lu Feng's request and immediately went to arrange and clean up Kane Manor.
Separated from the butler Ron, Lu Feng returned to the lookout at the gate of the castle, where "Lady Annie", who had been bound by him with the "Bloodthirsty Demon Vine".
Even if Ms. Anne was bound by vines, Houston did not dare to deal with Ms. Anne under the black robe when he was cleaning up the soldiers under the eldest brother's men.
In the cold wind whirring from the lookout, Lady Anne's mind was torn between running away and staying where she was.
The complicated psychological state lasted until Lu Feng finished his second brother's simple treatment and slowly walked to the lookout.
In the tormented ideological struggle, Anne felt haggard, and only when she saw Lu Feng's tall figure appear in her eyes did she relax as if relieved.
With this relaxation, Anne's legs went limp, and she fell backwards, until she retreated to the wall of the lookout, and only then did she stabilize her figure.
Seeing this scene, Lu Feng couldn't help frowning.
This guy named Annie is too weak!
"I'm done with my business, now let's talk about yours! Do you want to die, or do you want to live? “
The "wizard" in front of him seemed to be weak and pitiful, and Lu Feng didn't bother to play any tricks with her, so he asked directly.
Listening to Lu Feng's words without a trace of emotion, Anne under the black robe suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
A sense of powerlessness that she couldn't help herself, being pinched in the palm of her hand by others, came back to her heart, and she remembered the dark underground secret room.
Suddenly, Anne under the black robe immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy: "Master Wizard, please let me live, I want to live!" ”
Annie's psychological defense was broken, and then, Lu Feng quickly dug out the information he wanted to know from her mouth.
Annie, as Lu Feng thought, was not a wizard apprentice with an orthodox wizard education, but a miserable wizard test subject.
She was a commoner in a barony in the Duchy of Distan, and one day, a gang of bandits attacked the barony. The baron's army was crushed and huddled in the castle to survive, while the commoners under the baron's command were out of luck.
The bandits burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil in the baron's territory. Anne's parents died at the hands of the bandits, and she and a group of children were abducted by the bandits.
When she finally woke up, she was imprisoned in a dark chamber, filled with the roars of monsters and endless wails of despair.
In an endless state of fear, Anne was led into a room by an old man and strapped to a cold laboratory table.
After suffering inhuman torture, Anne survived with great difficulty, and accidentally gained the ability to manipulate black flames.
With the power of the black flames, Anne endured the humiliation, and finally saw an opportunity to use the black flames to burn the old man who was experimenting on her, and escaped from the dark secret room.
However, to Anne's despair, after seeing the light of day, she fled into a village, only to be called a monster by the villagers and driven out.
Lifting Anne's black robe, Lu Feng saw Anne's true appearance, her petite face was covered with fine black snake scales, and her pupils were similar to the vertical pupils of snakes.
"Typical bloodline transformation experiment, it seems that you met a dark wizard apprentice who studied the way of bloodline, in order to survive, these dark wizard apprentices have fallen, but there is really no humanity at all!"
After a few glances, Lu Feng guessed what happened to Annie.
This kind of thing, when he was studying in the [Botanical Garden] of the Trudeau Continent, he encountered a lot.
[Botanical Garden] is a famous white wizard organization on the continent of Trudeau, and its daily activities also include actions to exterminate dark wizards.
Lu Feng has also participated in some for the magic stone.
Like Annie, an unlucky person who was persecuted by a dark wizard who studied the way of bloodline, he also helped and dealt with some of it himself.
