Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

Rose didn't move, but Kanol behind her threw the knife.

"My hand slipped," Kanol shook his hand, and looked at the bastard, "What are you going to say?"

"...the great succubus from the abyss, the good lord of Helanbert Town, the kind and beautiful demon Lord Rose, and the most trusted disciple of Rose, the future God of Cooking, Lord Kanol," Wang Ba changed his face and said, "As you can see, I'm just a poor pirate sailor who has been cursed."

"sailor?"

Rose was a little surprised by this.

You must know that although the Vila Plain is located in the western part of the continent, it is basically considered an inland hinterland.

If you want to see the sea from here, the nearest way is to go west, cross the Moonrise Mountains where the elves are, and pass through the legendary "Forbidden Swamp" where creatures stop, and you will be able to see the legendary Baili Salt Flat— —That is the most desolate west coast of the mainland.

The main plane's land and sea areas are divided in half. There is only such a continent, and the islands are only sporadically distributed in the east and south, so the navigation industry is not developed.

Most of the seaports are concentrated in the Seven Kingdoms in the east, the Reman Empire and the United Kingdom of South Sotua in the south.

On the west side of the continent, especially in the Vera Plain, it would be as unreasonable for a pirate sailor to appear in the Elven Holy Spring.

Rose recalls the shipwreck she found while surveying the Lelce River.

Although I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but thinking about it now, judging from the design of the ship's volume, displacement, mast and sails, it seems that it was not designed as an inland river transport ship.

It's really more like... a pirate ship.

"How did a pirate ship and a sailor go to the Vila Plain?" Rose muttered, feeling very puzzled by this, "it couldn't have come here all the way from the mouth of the Lelche River! "

Even if there are really pirates who have such a leisurely mood, the Lelche River has flowed through the borders of the Ruiman Empire and the United Kingdom of South Sotua successively, and it has also flowed through many vassal states of Sig all the way to the Vila Plain...

Seeing the pirate ship, these human countries will definitely not let him run so far!

Rose looked at Wang Ba.

"That ship is yours... Now you explain how you got here, what the curse is about, and what the box is about."

Hearing Rose's series of questions, that bastard showed a bitter expression on his face.

"I, I, I... I can't remember!"

As it said so, a kitchen knife flew past its head again.

"Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance."

Kanol said a sentence he learned from the wall of the torture department.

That bastard turned his face in tears, raised his hands, and said: "I really can't remember, I just remember that I used to be a human being, and my occupation was probably a pirate, and then one day I went out to sea to search for treasure, and encountered a shipwreck. Everyone is dead... When I wake up again, I have turned into a bastard and stayed in this river!"

Canol was about to say something, but Rose did raise her hand to stop her.

"This guy's soul is really damaged, what it said should be true," Rose said to Kanol, and then turned to bastard again, "Let's not mention your life experience, let's talk about this key and That box."

When Rose said this, Wang Ba also nodded, and quickly answered.

"I still remember this. This is what I found the last time I went out to sea for treasure hunting... The legendary big secret treasure. This box contains props that are said to be made by a lost ancient civilization with divine power!"

Wang Ba was a little excited when he said this.

"Then why don't you open it and use it yourself."

Rose raised reasonable doubts.

And hearing Rose's words, Wang Ba was also a little discouraged.

"We...we also want to, but although this wooden box looks like an ordinary box, and the key looks like an ordinary key, not everyone can open it casually, only the legendary one who bears the fate of the mainland Man is entitled to have it—not a single person on our ship can open it, and it has brought terrible disasters..."

"Then are you sure you won't bring disaster to us?"

Rose asked sharply again.

"This is not true. Although I don't know how long I have been trapped in the curse, but... that is indeed a long time ago, and that disaster... To be honest, I can't go ashore."

After Wang Ba said this, Rose looked at it with a certain look, and it didn't seem like he was joking.

After all, this guy doesn't seem to be able to stand the scare yet, so he shouldn't dare to lie to himself.

Rose nodded and said, "Okay, then...Kanol, go and open it."

"Hey, teacher, but you caught this thing..."

Kanol said a little puzzled.

"Since this bastard said you are a destined person, then you can try it." Rose returned the key to Kanol, "I checked, and there is no danger in this box."

When she was talking just now, she also scanned the box by the way.

To her surprise, this box even blocked her perception.

But... danger is really no danger.

Originally, this box seemed to be engraved with a "array" that could send out some kind of signal. Based on what the bastard said, that should be the part used to bring about "disaster", but now it has completely failed.

As for the speech of the "destined person", it seems to be realized by some kind of "soul recognition" formation.

Although I don't know why this bastard is sure that Kanol can open it, it stands to reason that the formation on an unknown old box is to identify the soul of an eight-year-old girl.

But thinking of Canol's protagonist template, Rose is also a little unsure.

After all... what if it works?

132 Congratulations to Kanol for the new kitchen utensils

In fact, even if Kanol couldn't open it, Rose still had the confidence to open it herself.

She has already figured out how this magic circle works—although it is completely different from the mainland's mainstream magic circle structure and spelling habits, for Rose, it is just something that can be opened with more time.

If it doesn't work, it can be disassembled violently!

The reason why she didn't open this box before is because she forgot about it. If she had known that there was such a powerful magic circle on this box, Rose would have seen Lie Xinxi open it to have a look!

Now this thing seems to have some fate with Kanol, Rose is naturally embarrassed to compete with her disciples.

After receiving Rose's instruction, Kanol stepped forward boldly and began to unlock the lock.

Although she had already started to learn magic, because the wooden treasure chest was indeed too old, and the magic circle on it was in an extremely simple style, Kanol did not notice the existence of the magic circle.

In addition, even his master Rose said so, Kanoer didn't think much, just like opening the door of his own warehouse, he opened the lock of the wooden box very easily and freely.

Rose raised her eyebrows slightly. She could feel that the recognition magic circle of the wooden box had indeed "recognized" a certain soul quality of Kanol and then released it.

"Sure enough, do geniuses have backgrounds?"

Both parents died, the origin is mysterious, and the talent is quite extraordinary... It's hard to justify the incomplete background.

But Rose didn't bother to find out where Canol was from. Anyway, this little girl didn't have any bad intentions. If she found out the truth by herself, it might have a bad influence on her.

What's more, investigating this kind of mysterious guy is also a very troublesome thing - even if it is found out, it may just be a lot of trouble for a bigger trouble.

So as a rule, Rose would not spend energy on such things.

And when Rose was thinking about her background as a cheap apprentice, Kanol also opened the wooden box.

A strange, weak wave of magic power came, different from any mainstream magic power contained in the continent and the abyss, with a quiet and ancient atmosphere, it came out of the wooden box.

Kanol looked into the box and couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

"what is this?"

Seeing Kanol's reaction, Wang Ba and Rose couldn't help poking their heads over and looking inside the wooden box.

Afterwards, the two guys also showed a confused look.

Because inside the wooden box is a suspended, silvery reflective sphere the size of a frying pan.

The curved surface is shiny, the whole body is silver, and the texture is like some kind of liquid metal. It looks like a huge mercury ball.

The most important thing is that the magic fluctuation of this thing is very special.

The magic power emitted fluctuates one strong and one weak, with a period of about five seconds as a cycle, alternating between strong and weak, as if breathing.

"What is this, Director Ken's magic dress..."

The corner of Rose's mouth twitched and couldn't help complaining, while looking at the bastard at the side.

The bastard also scratched his head vigorously, and said innocently: "Don't look at me, Lord Succubus, didn't I say that none of us can open the box of this thing."

Kanol, on the other hand, didn't notice the conversation between her master Rose and the bastard. She seemed to be completely attracted by that thing now.

Just like that bastard said, this thing seems to be really his own!

She couldn't help raising her hand, wanting to touch the mercury ball.

Kanol is a humble and morally good boy most of the time, and he doesn't feel that something he sees for the first time "must belong" to him.

The idea she has now is purely a feeling that emerges from the depths of her soul.

And the silver liquid metal ball seemed to have the same feeling.

When Kanol stretched out his hand towards it, the surface of the metal ball trembled slightly.

As if trying to break free from the shackles of something, the liquid surface of the metal surged with all its strength, approaching Kanol.

"Your Excellency Succubus, are you sure you don't need to stop your apprentice?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Ba asked worriedly.

"Ah...it doesn't matter."

Although Rose couldn't figure out what this thing was, she could probably sense that it didn't seem to be harmful to Kanol.

Even if there was... Rose could handle it.

With such confidence, she quietly looked at Kanol and the metal ball.

The change of the metal ball became more and more violent, and the ups and downs became bigger and bigger—finally, a trace of liquid metal touched Kanol's fingertips.

In an instant, the entire metal ball seemed to be "released", and they all poured backwards towards Kanoer, entwined along her fingertips, and gradually spread to her forearms, shoulders and even chest, like plating. It's like putting on a metal shell!

Moreover, these silver-white metallic liquids seemed to be still being absorbed by Kanoer's body, entering under her skin little by little.

Kanol, who came back to his senses, didn't feel scared. Instead, he looked at his hands very curiously, and then looked at Rose.

"Master Rose... These seem to be... magic creations? It feels like there is substance, but most of them are made of magic power!"

Rose nodded when she heard Canol's description.

"Probably a product of some kind of alchemy. It looks like equipment... I really don't know much about the creation of ancient civilizations. Take the time to write and ask the relevant departments at the Demon King City—the same is true on the Mercury Ruins. Those who have unearthed the heritage of magical civilization..."
