On the Seven Towers

In the area where the stewards live, all the maids have been taken away and placed together, and the guards have been imprisoned. Kalanda and Ji Yijun found an empty wooden house and began to interrogate the puppet master.

The puppet master was literally paralyzed and had a broken arm. His face was pale and blue, and he looked almost dead. Only when there was no convulsion due to pain could one see that it was a living person. Whether as a mage or as an ordinary person, he is useless. Perhaps because he lost the desire to live, he seemed very uncooperative during the interrogation.

No matter what Ji Yijun asked, he just lay on top, tilting his head and ignoring them. Not even looking at them.

Calanda asked for less than five minutes before she lost her patience. She said to Ji Yijun: "I will do the trial alone. You can go out."

"Why? I know how to torture."

Kalanda pulled out a dagger and said, "I'm afraid I won't feel comfortable watching you."

Ji Yijun was very curious and insisted on seeing how Karanda would do it. However, when she started to use the technique of slicing radish, cutting the opponent's fingers into thin slices from the beginning, including the bones, skin and flesh, Ji Yijun felt cold in his heart. Killing an enemy is one thing, but torturing them is another. Ji Yijun only lasted for half a minute before escaping.

He could still hear the puppet master's shrill screams and Calanda's extremely calm voice from outside: "... If you work as a mercenary, you can't be considered a complete good person. But no matter what, I still try to be kind to everyone. , even if it is an enemy, I will leave three points of leeway, but when Lao Chen fell, I made an oath, whoever makes him like that, I will cut him into pieces!

I have always been a person who yearns for sunshine, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen darkness. When you hurt the most important thing in my heart, you successfully helped me find an opportunity to release the darkness..."

Angry women are so scary. Even a steady and kind-hearted person like Karanda would become so angry because of Chen Hansheng. Ji Yijun thought that it was not easy for him to still live peacefully until now despite having so many ex-girlfriends.

The screaming and conversation lasted for about five minutes. Ji Yijun heard the puppet master crying and saying, "I said, I said! There is an antidote, and it's in my storage ring."

After a while, Calanda came out.

"Ka, Sister Kalanda. Have you got the antidote?"

She nodded.

Ji Yijun heard that there was no sound inside and asked, "Dead?"

"No, I passed out. I'm not in a very good mood right now. Please take care of the situation inside. I'll go and see how the slaves are being appeased." Karanda's expression made Ji Yijun feel complicated and difficult to understand.

"Oh, okay."

Ji Yijun opened the door and was almost vomited by the smell of blood and stench that hit his face. The puppet master rolled his eyes and collapsed on the ground. There were pools of red and yellow everywhere. Ji Yijun touched his forehead and shouted: "Oh, you tricked me to death!"

—————————

It was already dawn. About ten kilometers away from the village, in a forest clearing near a stream, two men on horseback came over. One of them was wearing a cloak and a mask, and the other was dressed as a warrior, with a bow and a sword on his back.

After they dismounted, they let the horses drink from the stream and sat down on the rocks to rest.

The Masked Man took off his cloak, mask, and brown wig, threw them into the river, and transformed into a young man. He has short ocean blue hair and green eyes. There is a long scar on his face that runs across his cheek and nose, dividing his face into two halves. He is Steward Hall. But if his face was intact, many people in the school would be able to recognize his true identity: Hawke, the warehouse manager who was caught by Cole.

The warrior was another steward named Ubico. He looked in the direction of the village uneasily, "Hall, don't you even need to see the result of the battle? Can you explain it to the Baron?"

Hawke took out two loaves of bread from his backpack and handed one to the other party, "You need to be responsible to the Baron. I don't. I am only responsible to Lord Cole. Lord Cole hangs out with them every day, how can he not know them?" It goes without saying that the result of this battle is that our people will be destroyed.”

"It's a pity to say that. This camp was picked up by three parties and I worked hard. Moreover, we have recently recruited several masters through Cole, including mid-level mages. But now there is nothing." Ubico gnawed on the bread and said angrily.

"If your Lord Baron hadn't wanted to deal with that Chen Hansheng, we wouldn't have been exposed so quickly." Hawke said.

"They were watching too closely. If we don't kill the person who is chasing us, we will be discovered soon. The Baron had no other choice, so he used the assassination move. But he didn't expect that they were too powerful. Not only did they trace the whereabouts of the puppet master so quickly, but they also directly sent troops to attack our camp. "

Hawk said disdainfully: "In the final analysis, you are still too greedy. Lord Cole has long warned you to avoid places where their caravans hang out. If you can put more effort into selling goods to the empire, to the orcs, or to For the Sea Clan, there will be no such thing!"

Ubico sighed and said nothing.

"The puppet master will definitely reveal his employer. Therefore, Lord Baron should prepare early." Hawke said.

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Hawk waved his hands and said, "We? No, no, no, we are just small characters. We have always been the middlemen between you and those people in the China Tower. Everyone in the China Tower has no chance to move around, and they don't want to expose their identities, so they found Lord Cole and asked him to be their agent to discuss cooperation with the Baron. And you also need a hidden dialogue channel to communicate with those people in the China Tower. This is our value.

But the decisions you made have nothing to do with us. We didn't build factories, sell slaves, or sell products. We just did some auxiliary work. Lord Cole spent most of his time in their territory. So, even if they find the two of us, what does it matter? We are like a little ant. Will the hunter leave two elephants alone and deal with a little ant in the middle?"

Ubico knew that this was indeed the case. If it weren't for the lack of people who could manage so many complex things. Hawke might not have come to this village to preside over the work of the camp.

"Anyway, it's too late to say anything now. Let the Baron handle the follow-up matters as soon as possible, shirking responsibility and framing others. Haha, aren't nobles the best at doing these things?"

Please vote for the monthly ticket at the beginning of the month. I hope I can move up two places so that more people can see it. Thank you everyone.
