[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

【Dungeon of Huiyue Temple】

The dark tunnel extends to the darkness underground, and at the end is a thick black iron door.

Behind the iron gate is the "Evil Eye" who frightens the people of Aranti.Although the high priest Libertas still insisted on calling him a "suspect".

The walls of the cell are inlaid with magic crystal lighting, which is also a mechanism besides the lighting itself, and they are connected into a forbidden magic circle.

In the middle of the empty cell, a magician with black hair and black clothes was blindfolded by a thick black cloth, curled up on the cold ground wearing handshakes and shackles.This special shackle reduced his vital functions to the level of a hibernating animal, and his spiritual power was completely frozen.The blindfolded black cloth has been tempered by special magic, which can isolate mental power. The "Evil Eye" seems to be sleeping alone in his own dark world.

The Presbyterian Church and the priests were very anxious. They thought that if they found Mason, they would be able to retrieve Lorca and the lost items in the treasury.But Mason said nothing.Moreover, he was in a trance, and the progress of the interrogation was even more difficult.Mason didn't know what he had experienced these days, and he was close to collapse, and it was not suitable for him to use interrogation methods.We can only temporarily detain him and then think of a solution.

Loka's whereabouts are still unknown, and the spiritual energy balance in the secret realm is getting weaker and weaker, and a huge crack may occur at any time.There is no time for distractions at the top.Routine affairs, search and rescue and interrogation are all under the sole responsibility of Prince Palmer.Careful Palmer knew that Altai had a bad temper, so he had to distract him from his busy schedule to prevent him from arbitrarily interrogating him.

Mason is now very fragile and cannot stand the toss.

The empty cell was dark and silent.

In Mason's own dark world, the shackles only slowed down his body functions, but he was not unconscious or asleep.He heard hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the silence, and soon the iron door opened, almost knocked open with a clang.Footsteps came to him, and he could even feel the anger in the air.

If Mason could take off the black cloth, he would see that Altai's face was full of bruises, and the scars on his face had healed into thin lines, making his expression look more cruel and ferocious.

Altai finally lost his patience and rushed directly to the dungeon regardless of obstacles.

He grabbed Mason by the arm and lifted him up, shaking him hard to wake the guy up for questioning, not knowing that Mason wasn't asleep.

Mason was barely able to stand still while being lifted by him. "Master Altai." Although he couldn't see him, Mason still raised his head as if he could look directly at him.

"Say! Where is Loka? What have you done to him!"

Mason could barely stand in the storm of his rage.He tried to stand still, and replied calmly, "I don't know, I didn't meet him-ah-ah!" He was punched hard in the abdomen and bent down in pain.

"You lunatic! Monster!" Altai gritted his teeth, "The remnants of the Miluo Sect! How dare you act wild in the secret realm of Aranti!"

After a few more hard punches, Mason was hit continuously and bowed like a shrimp. If it wasn't for being grabbed by Altai, he would not be able to stand still at all. "I...haven't met him. Heh...heh...uh!"

Altai squeezed Mason's neck and lifted him high.Mason panted like a dying beast.Altai forced himself to calm down, restrained the urge to kill him, and threw him on the ground like a piece of rag.

Mason coughed and struggled to breathe the hard-earned air.The sound of panting echoed throughout the cell.

"Tell me! Did you steal the treasure house?"

silence.

"Don't say it's the default. You are really powerful. The two chief priests are guarding the treasure house. How did you do it?"

Mason slightly propped himself up to sit up, identifying the direction and stepping back.It seems to be able to stay away from some suppressive anger.

"Say!"

Mason lowered his head, still silent.Half of the face under the black cloth was extraordinarily pale under the black cloth and black clothes.

Altai raised his chin with one finger, "Is it the power of 'Evil Eye'?"

Still silent.

In a daze, Altai saw the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, with a faint mocking smile.Seeing this, Altai couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

"Crack!" Mason was knocked to the ground by a slap.The corner of the mouth is bloodshot.

Altai walked around angrily.

"Don't think that everyone can't see it, you are a pervert! Pervert! Every time you see Lorca, you look perverted! Do you have that kind of thought for him?"

"No! No! No! No! No—!" Mason suddenly yelled fiercely, his voice trembling slightly, and he was actually extremely frightened.

Altai took a step with a gloomy expression, and stepped on Mason, "Say——, where did you hide His Royal Highness Loka? Where the hell are you hiding?" There seemed to be a slight "click" in the panting sound.Mason knew a rib was broken.

"Don't think that Libertas will be safe if you are protected. My patience is—limited!" Altai squatted down, and he stretched out his hand to press Mason's fractured part, injecting spiritual power.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Inhuman screams echoed in the cell, and Mason gasped as if he was dying. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, his hair was also drenched, and his face was as pale as a dead fish picked up from the water.The blood oozing from the corner of his mouth was even more shocking.

"Say--"

His only answer was panting.

Altai had to wait patiently, and he didn't dare to make too much trouble.Mason was very weak when he was brought back.The priests did not dare to perform healing techniques to restore him, fearing that they would not be able to control the "devil's eye", and did not dare to torture him to death.After all, he is an important clue.

"Say—where is Loka?"

……

"Why did you go to that cave?"

……

"What did you do to Loka?"

……

Still only panting to answer his question.

Gradually, there was no more breathing, only quiet silence.

"Altai! What are you doing!" Prince Palmer hurried into the cell.Shouting to stop, Altai reached out to Mason's hand again.

"Hmph!" Altai stood up, "Your Highness, I'm interrogating the prisoner."

"From now on, without my permission, private interrogation is not allowed!" Prince Palmer, who was always gentle and gentle, rarely got angry.

Altai was overwhelmed by Palmer's anger, and was at a loss for a while. "Yes." He hesitated for a moment before answering.

Palmer said coldly: "Now he can find important clues to Loka. You tortured him like this, didn't you—" His eyes swept across Altai like a knife blade, "I don't want Loka to come back, huh?"

"I... am also in a hurry, hoping to find His Royal Highness Loka soon. He refuses to tell." Altai carefully observed Palmer's expression.Palmer raised his chin slightly, and Altai understood, and immediately ordered the guards to find some priests who were good at healing.

"Also, let them bring some rugs and blankets. He hasn't eaten for a few days? Are you planning to starve him to death?" Palmer's side face was cold and hard, and the usual gentleness was gone.

"Yes." Altai immediately went out to find the guards to do so.

Palmer looked down at Mason. He hadn't moved since he came in, and he couldn't hear him panting.I don't know whether it is dead or alive.He shuddered as soon as he touched Mason's face.It was as if it had just been fished out of ice water.He couldn't help cursing Altai in a low voice.Palmer tried his breath nervously.Fortunately, although it is so weak that you can hardly feel it if you don't pay attention carefully.

"Mason?" he asked tentatively.Nothing happened.Palmer pressed lightly on the fractured area. Even though he did it lightly, it still caused severe pain to the injured.But Mason still didn't respond at all.If it wasn't for the faint breathing detected just now, Palmer almost thought he was dead.

Palmer was very disappointed.The important clue to find Loka was right in front of him, but Altai messed it up.He punched the ground in frustration.
