[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

【Huiyue Temple Prison】

In the dark and silent cell, Mason was waiting for a "visitor" that he was very unwilling to face.It's been a long night, he sighed helplessly, if it wasn't for the fear that Altai, an impatient idiot, could not bear to do something to hurt Loka, he didn't want to make a move, he would not have to face that person so early .

There were footsteps coming from far and near in the corridor.He recognized Trista, and Mason knew her character so well, that she had come.

The appearance of Cuista surprised the guards at the door, but Princess Jinghu didn't bother to explain to them, she just showed her mother Albina, the high priest of the Jinghu tribe, the exclusive magic key order.

Mason knew she was coming in front of him, but she didn't speak. Mason waited for a long time, and the silent cell even made him think that no one had come in.What is she trying to do?Mason thought anxiously.He felt that Custa didn't release hostility, coercion, or friendly aura, and seemed to be just observing him quietly.

Finally he felt Custa approaching, and she gently removed the black cloth from his eyes.Mason closed his eyes tightly. Although Cuista did not speak, Mason could feel her gaze sizing him up. Although it was not sharp, it was more difficult for him than being under the majestic scrutiny of Lord Libetas.Mason sighed in his heart, since he sent the mirror dream crystal bead, it means that he can no longer avoid facing her, Luoka's love, Luoka's fiancée, and the person who loves Luoka the most - Cuista Princess.

Mason had to open his eyes and sit up slowly, and was about to speak to Cuista, but saw Cuista made a silent gesture to him.She was wearing dark leather armor, and she stood sideways with restrained breath, like a silhouette with smooth lines in the dark.Last time in the cave, Mason was knocked down as soon as he met her face to face.When being tortured, Mason felt that he was facing a raging black panther, but the elegant and restrained murderous intent in the air was compelling but unattractive. Mason knew at that time that she could bear it and would not kill herself.Rationally, Mason knew that his allies were visiting tonight, but he was continuously struck by thunderbolts from the giant-toothed thunder eel's long whip, and the memory of his body still made him instinctively afraid of Custa's breath.

Trista didn't get too close, just keeping a safe distance for Mason.Mason felt that tonight Custa was like a nocturnal black cat, standing quietly in the darkness, her beautiful green eyes gleaming in the darkness, she looked at Mason with doubts, probing, and curiosity.

Cuista did not know where to take out a few Mirror Lake pearls, which radiated soft light in the darkness. Mason thought they were for lighting, but the next moment these pearls were crushed by slender fingers and turned into a ball in the darkness Silver mist, Custa flicked her finger lightly, and the group of silver powder mist changed and converged into Aranti characters.

Mason saw the silver-white text exuding a bright glow—"Thank you"

Seeing Mason's stupefied look, Cuista couldn't help but smile softly, and the silver text changed again, - "It must be painful"

Mason instantly remembered the severe pain all over his body when he was hit by the long whip and thunderbolt, and couldn't help shaking, but the next moment he realized that what Custa should ask was Altai's torture to extract a confession from him.The mirror dream crystal bead recorded that Altai asked Mason privately about the method of using the secret spell, but Mason, as a poisoned delirious patient, just avoided in a daze and panic.And all of this is actually under Mason's single-handed control. Altai is bewitched by the illusion created by Mason, and Mason has not been substantively beaten.Of course the truth cannot be told to Custa.Mason could only bow his head shyly.But Cuesta's curious, probing gaze made Mason unsure if she had seen through her trick.

Mason felt Custa approached a few steps, he raised his head, and the silver powder in front of him changed into "Don't be afraid to heal your wounds"

Mason was a little panicked, he couldn't help but move back a few minutes, the shackles and chains made the sound of metal clashing, which was very clear in the silent cell.

Cuista stretched out her hand to show him the high priest's exclusive magic key order, and she glanced at the concealed iron door.Mason understood immediately.Cuista thoughtfully did not continue to approach. Mason felt that he was surrounded by the unique magical energy fluctuations of the Mirror Lake tribe, as if being submerged in gentle water waves. He felt as if he was under the water waves of Mirror Lake, but he did not feel suffocated and oppressed. Sensation, Mason felt that these gentle water waves had a sense of careful testing, and felt that Mason's breath gradually relaxed, as if he had his permission to slowly permeate into his body.Mason knew that he was checking the hidden wounds in his body. He felt the waves of water gently permeating his body, and at the same time he was slowly repairing the wounds. Even the tears and exhaustion in his mental strength were gently soothed.

Cuista was surprised to see Mason's long eyelashes fluttering, and he closed his heavy eyelids irresistibly, and the next moment he actually collapsed on the carpet.Custa could feel his breaths being evenly drawn, completely relaxed.He actually fell asleep!

These days, Mason has been using coma and pretending to be asleep to avoid questions he doesn't want to answer, and his methods have become extremely proficient.But this time he didn't mean to.He really fell asleep unconsciously.Mason has been struggling to maintain a high level of vigilance in weakness. At this moment, he is like a tired traveler who has trekked through dangerous mountains for dozens of days without sleep, and suddenly arrives at a safe and comfortable camp. His strong will cannot resist the comfortable and soft bed and pillows. .

Custa smiled wryly, and couldn't ask him properly every time. Last time, she was knocked out by herself, but this time she fell asleep during the healing.Looking at Mason's defenseless innocent sleeping face, she felt deep apology and pity in her heart.She found out that the countless dark wounds left in Mason's body by the last series of thunderbolt strikes had not been fully healed.After Mason was captured, he was tortured several times.The elders treated him hastily, just to let him barely survive the next torture.Cuesta felt that Mason was as weak as a lonely leaf struggling in the strong wind, its seemingly weak vitality was unexpectedly strong.

Trista had so many questions she couldn't wait to ask him, that's why she had come in such a hurry.But she didn't wake up Mason at this time, but continued to concentrate on performing the unique healing technique of the Jinghu tribe.She was focused, and carefully controlled her mana throughout the process.When Cuista captured Mason, she easily whipped him twice with great magic power, but at this time, repairing the injuries caused by the critical blow required more energy, physical strength, and mental effort than beating him.

Custa had mixed feelings in her heart. She felt that the seemingly thin Mason was hiding many secrets in silence. What appeared to people was just an inconspicuous reef in the mist, but behind it was a sea of ​​darkness hidden deep in the dark night. .She hadn't communicated with Mason since she captured Mason and handed it over to the elders. Mason was trapped in a gang, but he was able to cooperate with her so tacitly and precisely at critical moments.

The iron door of the cell can isolate the magical energy.After the Mirror Dream Crystal Bead entered the cell, Cuista lost her sense of the Mirror Dream Crystal Bead.But this little crystal bead is still working conscientiously, recording information that can kill Altai.

The record in this Mirror Dream Crystal Bead is the ironclad proof that she and Luoka have been deliberately trying to obtain.But she still had a strong sense of disobedience.Altai inadvertently mentioned his use of Yimihua in his anger.Perhaps it was because Altai was a little unscrupulous in the face of crazy and stupid people. From his angry words, it could be inferred that he was using a secret spell on someone.But all speculation ultimately leads to the victim being Palmer.This coincides with their speculation but is far from it.They originally wanted to prove that Altai was the murderer who used the secret spell to murder Lorca.But the evidence now can indeed prove that Altai is using the secret spell, but the victim has become Palmer.

This evidence also solved the problem they were facing. They wanted to find the evidence, but they were also worried that Lorca would be related to the secret spell and become the object of the elders' inspection.But the evidence Mason sent perfectly cut off the connection between Lorca and the secret spell.Testified against Altai's crimes, but Loka has nothing to do with the secret spell.

Cuesta thought of every interrogation since Mason was captured—

"Where's Loka?"

"do not know."

"Where did you hide Lorca?"

"I don't know, I haven't met him before."

"Where did you hide Lorca? What did you do to him?"

"I don't know, I haven't met him."

No matter what kind of interrogation he faced, Mason insisted that he never met Lorca.Now that the evidence was so agreeable and appropriate, it made her feel even more strongly that it was not.

Custa's intuition told her that Mason was guarding a secret.Maybe it's the truth that Lorca and she want to pursue, and it's also the secret they want to keep.

When the healing technique ended, Custa was hesitating whether to wake Mason up, but Mason woke up by himself.

Mason didn't expect that he would let his guard down in front of Custa, and he actually took a comfortable nap.If it wasn't for his extraordinary mental strength, he might have slept for days and nights before waking up.Now that Mason is proficient in how to control people's mental state, the common method of the sorcery taught by Kedile Shan Miluo is to let people give up their defenses in an extremely comfortable feeling and devote themselves to the temptation they most yearn for, so that they can take advantage of it. .But precisely because of his proficiency in this way, Mason realized that Custa didn't use this trick on him the moment he woke up.He felt that this kind of gentle healing power actually required a lot of effort.Sure enough, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a tired look on Custa's face.

Silver powder mist rose in front of him again, "I'm sorry"

At this moment, Mason understood that Custa seemed to have guessed something. He felt that Custa wanted to ask that question very much, but she restrained herself and didn't ask any further. She sympathetically did not touch his secret.

Mason stood up, raised his shackled hands with difficulty, and the silver powder mist flickered into illusion——

"I can sense the breath of the secret spell."

The silver powder transformed into another one after another——

"Altai has"

"Palmer by Honey Flowers"

"Lorca without me sure" Although the whole silver sentence was flickering, the word "sure" radiated a brighter radiance.

Mason smiled shyly.Suddenly he saw Custa reaching out to touch his cheek, and Mason subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he didn't.Custa's slender fingers brushed gently over his pale face, and the wound on his face healed without a trace.There was a soft touch in Mason's heart, and he suddenly wanted to say to Custa, I'm sorry.But if he could talk he couldn't, and he never could, neither to Lorca nor to Trista.Only endless sadness filled his chest, facing them, he could only continue to remain silent.

Custa felt the sadness in the air, and a strange conjecture suddenly arose in her heart. Her beautiful blue eyes gleamed with a deep light, and she looked at Mason with indescribable eyes.

Mason felt uncomfortable when she looked at him, but he had nowhere to hide.He suddenly sensed that the aura around Cuesta fluctuated greatly due to shock.

Mason understood instantly—she discovered her secret!

Mason lowered his head, not daring to face her, he felt Trista approaching him slowly.She got closer and closer, and he was even suppressed by the tyrannical breath of the dragon faintly emanating from the dark leather armor made of the dragon scale armor.

Mason didn't know what he would face next, was it a crisp and loud slap?Or take a few more blows from the flashing lightning whip?

He felt Trista sit down before him, her eyes lingering on him.

Suddenly, the overwhelmed Mason was hugged by her, and Mason stiffened in this unexpected embrace.Then he saw Custa smiled charmingly, and a line of silvery words appeared in front of him——

"Thank you for saving him"

"We will save you"

Then the line turned into powder and completely dissipated in the darkness.

Trista quickly left the cell.It seems that it was just a little check on Mason's health under Albina's order.

Sorry, Trista, sorry, Lorca, Mason was silent in the dark.

That secret, those dreamlike days, Mason was finally able to face.

For Lorca's happiness, he will bury these secrets in the deep sea of ​​darkness forever.
