I was imprisoned by witches

Chapter 33 Elena's Clue
"It turns out that this is the truth about old Toby's wealth. The children on the fifth floor are his lifeblood. Of course, the list cannot be seen by outsiders!"

Linn thought in surprise.

Weighing the thickness of the information in his hand, it was close to [-] pieces. Based on the adoption price of [-] gold coins per child, it would be [-] pieces.

He couldn't help but feel dizzy.

His adoptive father, the Knight Offreding, had only saved a thousand gold coins in his lifetime, most of which were subsidies for retirement on the battlefield.

The brightest places often hide the most terrifying darkness.Linn has deeply understood this sentence through more than 100 games.

Whether it's the Sunlight Orphanage, the Manor, or the Holy See of Light that dominates the empire, he will shudder every time he goes deep into the plot.Behind those plots, there is either the most evil witch hiding, or an inhumane demon like Old Toby.

Lin sighed with emotion and continued to turn the pages. What he wanted to find was his fiancée Elena, who had purple hair, frivolous eyes, and didn't look like a good person.

He quickly flipped through the lists. Since he had never seen Elena when she was a child, her appearance might be very different from what she knew.

Fortunately, Elena's hair color is purple, which is relatively bright, which makes his search much easier.

The pages turned faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, only a few names were left in the thick stack of lists.

This made Linn's heart skip a beat. Could it be that Elena was in another orphanage?That would make it much harder to find!

He calmed down and continued to read down. Gradually, only the last two pages were left.

Not to mention finding Elena, they didn't even see a purple-haired girl.

He turned to the last page with some disappointment, but he froze, rubbing his temples and cheering up.

The list on the last page is from a little girl with purple hair!

The problem was that this person was very different from the Elena in Lynn's impression.

In the profile picture in the upper left corner of the list, the little girl seems a little frightened when facing the camera. She has a thin face, a nervous expression, and a small freckle on her face.

If placed in the real Western world, freckles would be considered cute, but in the game world, this means that the child is born to unclean parents.

Lin En took a closer look and couldn't say that the little girl was ugly, but she couldn't be called beautiful either.

The name column says, No. 157.

Linn frowned and thought: Is this person really Elena?No matter how you look at it, the gap is too big.

He set his sights on No. 157’s identity record:
No. 157 was sold in by a group of refugees from outside the city. Due to living in the slums for a long time, he contracted skin diseases.Sunlight Orphanage spent three gold coins to hire a priest for treatment, and No. 157 gradually recovered.

She was found to have good magical aptitude. Old Tobit deliberately fabricated the noble bloodline for No. 157, a small viscount that only existed in history and has perished.And No. 157 is the remaining descendant of this family, with 'rare' aristocratic blood.

With her magical qualifications and connection to the nobility, the adoption price for little girl No. 157 is 350 gold coins, which is more expensive than the No. 1 that Linn saw before.

350 gold coins, this is an important clue for Linn.Linn remembered that Mrs. Martha had sourly mentioned to him that the unruly Elena was adopted by Mr. Jielu at a high price of 350 gold coins.If those gold coins are used on Martha, she can buy a lot of beautiful clothes for the master to wear.

Because of this matter, she also specially praised Lin En, a child-rearing child who didn't need money, which made Lin En remember it deeply.

Lin pondered for a while, and then confirmed the age of the little girl No. 157 again. The list said she was 8 years old, which was exactly one year older than him, which was consistent with Elena's.All kinds of evidence point to one result: No. 157 is the future Elena.

"But how is that possible?" Lin En was confused. He imagined that Elena when she was a child should be an impure Bichi. She bewitched the boys in the orphanage at a young age and turned them into slaves under her feet. He is a manipulator and enjoys bullying other children.

The gap with the impression was too big, which made Lynn feel overwhelmed.No matter how much evidence points to this person being Elena, there is a possibility that something is wrong, isn't it?

In order to verify the truth, he decided to try profiling.

Strictly speaking, profiling is a kind of talent magic, but ordinary people can master it through learning. In the real world, it is a psychological technique often used in yamen.

Through the clues of the crime and guessing the motive of the prisoner's behavior, some masters can use a few footprints, cigarette butts, and a broken water glass to reconstruct the prisoner's personality traits.

Linn's advantage was that he was familiar with Elena, and had hundreds of game experiences. The total time he had been tortured by this evil woman amounted to more than several decades.As soon as Elena raised her feet, he knew where he should lie down. With this muscle memory, he spent a whole game cycle with the priest's enlightenment before he overcame the shadow of Elena.

His profiling wasn't great, but he was familiar enough with Elena.

Linn lay on the chair, closed his eyes, and imagined that he was tied to a rough and cold wooden chair with hemp rope in a dark small room.

At this time, the door opened, and Elena came over. Her long legs were bare and stained with water drops, and her long purple hair had the mist that had been evaporated by magic when she got out of the bath. She wanted to play with me again. Yes, Linn suddenly thought nervously.

In 'Fantasy', Elena took out a small bottle from the panda. The bottle contained the medicine to control him. Then, the bugs in his body began to stir. It itched him so much that he was worse than dead. He wanted to take out his internal organs and scratch his two sides vigorously. Down.

Unable to bear this kind of torture, he knelt on the ground in humiliation, licking the potion on Elena's slender toes with red nail polish, but... at this moment!

Linn began to use subjective manipulation to profile, and Elena covered her red lips in surprise. She found that for some reason, she began to become younger, from 19 years old to 10 years old, then 9 years old, until she is now 8 years old. age!
Resisting the desire for the magic potion, Linn clenched his fists hard and pricked his palms with his fingers. He used the heartbreaking pain to overcome his desire. He raised his head and saw 8-year-old Elena.

That was when she was still in the orphanage. She was wearing a bright yellow dress and holding a pink bear doll with big ears. Her small and exquisite feet were really cute. The panda, because of its age, was completely flat, and then there was her. 's appearance.
When Lin En saw the scene in front of him, his brain was buzzing.

Elena's expression was exactly the same as that of No. 157. Her nervous little face was mixed with panic about a strange place, and her small hands held the bear doll tightly, as if this was the only thing that could give her a sense of security.

Why is this happening?Lynn ended the profile in confusion.He felt a pain in his head. It turned out that after becoming a mage, his spiritual power had been improved invisibly, and the level of detail of the profile was comparable to that of a master among ordinary people.

But he still couldn't understand what he was seeing.

Lynn muttered to himself: "The profiling will mobilize all the details about Elena in my subconscious, those things that I have not discovered subjectively, and those that I have ignored, are combined in the profiling like broken fragments. Together. Then... the combined infant Elena is 157% similar to No. [-]?"

The imaginary Elena's is fake. The bear doll she is holding is a gift from old Toby to Lynn, and the bright yellow skirt is the summer dress of an orphanage girl.Everything is a virtual human form speculated by combining the fragments in Lynn's subconscious.

But what these real clues point to is probably the truth.
