Chapter 85 Soul Deception

Baros quickly treated the wound on Kidge's shoulder blade, completely stopped the bleeding and tied a bandage.

When the wound was completely covered by the bandages, Keech immediately couldn't help but use his powers to heal the wound completely, and he didn't want to continue to endure the pain.

On the other side, while packing her toolbox, Barosh warned, "That crossbow arrow pierced your bones. Although you are young, you may have to spend ten days and a half months to recover. Fortunately, your left hand—— Uh, you're not left-handed, are you?"

"No." Kiki replied casually, trying to push Amir away and sit up straight, but was held firmly by Amir.

"By the way, I almost forgot something." Barosh said suddenly, "Your freezing technique is too strong. If I hadn't used magic to protect that guy's heart and brain in time, we might not even have to live." arrive."

"That guy? The one I froze?" Kiki remembered that there was another attacker to deal with.

"He is a knight who came with you." Amir let go of Kiki, "We have asked other knights, and they all think that this guy cannot assassinate a magician."

"As far as the knight's code is concerned, they shouldn't start with a lady." Barosh added, "But we have been unable to unfreeze him, and we have not been able to interrogate him-little guy, just by freezing him You have at least six layers of confidence to pass the senior magician assessment, how about you, don't you plan to try it?"

"He's not yet 16 years old, so there's no need to gain such fame." Amir refused.

"What's the matter with being 16 years old? That junior apprentice of Samohaile is only 15 years old, and he also signed up for this year's senior magician assessment." Barosh said disapprovingly.

"Rocky?" Keech blurted out.

"You know each other?" Barosh was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Kiki, Rocky, you two are not brothers, are you?"

"Obviously, they are." Amir interjected again, "Stop talking nonsense, if you have the energy, why don't you unfreeze that knight and interrogate the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible."

"Don't be too harsh on this little guy, Amir, he still has injuries, and he just woke up." Barosh said, "My magic should last for another day and a half, so let him rest first Take a moment—by the way, are you hungry, do you want to eat something first?"

"Uh, I'm not hungry, let's just go and see the knight who wanted to attack Tina." Kiki glanced at Amir and decided to obey his decision.

"Well, since you said so yourself." Barosh sighed, "Let me take the things back to my room first, you have to get dressed anyway—see you in the basement."

"Yeah." Amir nodded and added, "Don't disturb more people for now."

"Hehehe, do you still need to tell me about this kind of thing?" Barosh laughed strangely, and walked out of the room carrying the toolbox.

Seeing her leave, Amir turned to Kiki and asked, "Where are the replacement clothes?"

"The suitcase," Keech replied, and hastened to add, "I can take it myself."

"The wounded must look like the wounded." Amir warned, then picked up the unopened suitcase from the chair next to him, and dug out a new set of shirts and trousers.

Amir took the clothes and walked back to Kiki, and while putting a shirt on him, he asked, "There is no replacement magic robe?"

"...No." Kiki replied innocently.He really didn't expect that the magic robe would be damaged, and he still cut it open.

"Forget it, borrow one from Tina when you need it." Amir helped Kiki put on his shirt, and inadvertently touched Kiki's back, seeing that he didn't respond, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it completely healed? "

"Yeah." Kiki replied, but his eyes fell on the trousers in Amir's hand.

"Then wear it yourself." Amir threw the trousers into Kiki's hands, but did not show any intention of avoiding them.

Kiki hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to let Amir go out after all.

——Anyway, it’s not like I haven’t seen it!

Thinking sullenly, Kiki took off the trousers on his body and put on the pair in his hand.

After changing his clothes and taking care of his hair and appearance, Kiki was taken by Amir to the basement of the house.

Barosh was already waiting there, and there were two knights with him. Kiki couldn't call out their names, but only remembered that they came to Sunderland Town with him.

This basement seemed to be a storage room originally, and there were many tattered baskets and furniture in the corner.But at this time, most of the items had been removed, only a wooden bed was placed in the middle of the ground, and the guy lying on it was the guy who was frozen by Kiki's freezing technique.

Kiki quickly recognized his face, and sure enough, he was indeed the guard knight who was traveling with them, a member of the Sires Knight Guard, and he was regarded as a colleague with the other two beside him.

——Why did such a person assassinate Tina? He couldn't be ordered by that prince, right?

Keech couldn't help but wonder.

"Do it." Seeing Kiki standing there in a daze, Amir frowned and urged.

"Slow down, it will kill you if you melt it too fast." Barosh warned cautiously.

Keech didn't make a sound, and first thought about the so-called incantation used to unfreeze, then raised his hands, pretending to say the incantation to the person on the bed.

According to Barosh's instructions, Kiki was very careful when removing the freezing effect. From head to toe, while restoring the water elements in the body to a normal state, he used supernatural powers to strengthen his own vitality to ensure that he would not Sudden death due to temperature changes.

After nearly half an hour of tossing, Keech finished breaking the spell out of breath.He is really tired right now, he has just used his abilities, and then he has done a lot to others. Although the consumption of mental and physical energy is not as huge as casting the forbidden spell, it is really hard, and his pale face is getting more and more serious. Conforms to what a wounded person should look like.

"Sit down." Amir casually used the whirlwind technique to grab a barely usable chair and threw it beside Kiki.

Keech sat down politely, but a knight next to him couldn't help asking: "Why hasn't he woke up yet?"

"Because my spell hasn't been lifted yet." Barosh stepped to the side of the wooden bed, stretched out his fingers that were as dry as tree branches, and pressed the middle of the forehead of the person on the bed.

Kiki squinted his eyes subconsciously, and immediately noticed that there were two groups of dark undead elements gathering on the forehead and heart of the person on the bed, and they were leaving their original positions and gathering towards Barosh's fingertips.

When Barosh sucked away the two groups of undead elements, the knight on the bed slowly opened his eyes, looked around weakly, and murmured to himself in doubt, "Where am I... ..."

"Louis!" A knight next to him immediately walked to his side, first looked at him with a frown, and then asked, "Why did you hurt a female magician?"

"Injury... a female magician?" The knight called Louis suddenly showed a confused expression, "Are you kidding me, how could I hurt a magician, and a...lady?"

The standing knight wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Barosh raising his hand.

"Knight Louis." Barosh asked in a strange tone, "Do you still remember what happened before you fell into a coma?"

"Before coma...?" Louis stared blankly at the mysterious and weird black-robed magician in front of him, thought hard for a while, and quickly said hesitantly, "I just remember that Russell and I wanted to talk to Magician Tina. We went to the farmland outside the town together, but she refused our protection, so we returned to the town..."

"He's telling the truth. I arranged for them to accompany Magician Tina." Another knight who had been silent said.

Keech vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be the leader of the accompanying knights this time, and he could be regarded as the person in charge of the squad leader.

Barosh ignored the man's testimony and continued to ask, "And then?"

"Then..." Louis looked at Barosh, with a more bewildered expression on his face, "I... can't remember."

The two listening knights looked surprised, but Amir's expression suddenly became serious.

Kitsch listened in silence, his face indifferent.He didn't have much resentment towards the guy lying on the bed, and he didn't feel any revenge for wanting to kill him.When he saw this person, he realized that he was too weak to care about him at all.In contrast, Kiki felt even more depressed that he was hurt by such a weak guy.

If it wasn't for the person who was peeping to attract attention...

As soon as Keech had such a thought, he immediately erased it from his mind.

If he hadn't noticed someone peeping, he wouldn't have observed the changes around him, and naturally he wouldn't have noticed that someone wanted to sneak attack.In that case, Tina would probably be hit by this man's crossbow, and the final result might not be just a shoulder injury like him.

Kiki was thinking about it, but Barosh reached out and took out a nearly transparent crystal pendant from his pocket.

"Barosh, is it necessary to do this?" Amir stopped and said generally.

"It's better to test it out. We don't want innocent people to be charged with crimes." Barosh put down the pendant as he spoke, and only grabbed the thin silver chain that tied it, and held it up in front of the three knights , "This is the Stone of Truth, as long as you look at it, you can only speak the truth, Knight Louis, I will use it to test you."

"Why?" Louis on the bed couldn't help asking, "What did I do, why am I here, still so... weak..."

"Soon, you will give the answer yourself." Barosh hung the crystal pendant to the tip of Louis's nose, "Now, look at it, because you can only see it..."

Barosh's voice made people involuntarily want to obey like a mantra, and Kiki also subconsciously looked at the pendant in her hand, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't feel any strange feeling, only that the pendant The crystals on it seem to be artificially carved, and the light refraction is very strange.

Louis on the bed was the exact opposite, but after a few glances at the crystal, he couldn't look away as if fascinated, and his expression became strangely fanatical.

The other two knights also seemed to be affected by the crystal, but they were not as serious as Louis's. Their frowns made it look more like they were fighting against some kind of idea.

Kiki couldn't help but glanced at Amir next to him, but he saw him standing there with his head down, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, without even looking at the crystal.

——What's so weird about the crystal?

Keech thought inexplicably.

At this time, Barosh had already spoken again, and asked the knight on the bed what happened in detail.

However, no matter what Barosh asked, the knight named Louis could only talk about the time when he and his companions returned to Sunderland Town, and then completely lost his memory.After three times, Barosh stopped asking him about the shooting of Tina, and instead went back and asked Louis to describe the people and things he encountered before he came to Sunderland.

Louis answered one by one until his last night in Yanila.At this time, Kiki and others noticed that he was not the group of knights who left Yani City with Barosh and others. He escorted Tina and joined the team.

But just when Barosh was about to conduct a detailed questioning about that night, something happened.

Without warning, Louis' eyes were suddenly bloodshot, his eyeballs opened wide, and he roared like a beast, but his voice was full of fear and horror, as if he was under a huge threat.Before the people present could react, Louis, who couldn't even raise his arms, jumped up from the bed and slammed into the opposite wall.

"Catch him!" Amir was the first to react, and immediately cast an unspelled whirlwind, tripping Louis to the ground, and yelling at the others, "He wants to kill himself, stop him!"

Only then did the other two knights come to their senses, and rushed forward, holding Louis firmly so that he would not continue to hurt themselves.

At this time, Louis was like a raging bull, irritable and powerful, and the two knights tried their best to control him.Seeing that he couldn't break free, Louis quickly opened his mouth again and stuck out his tongue.

But Amir on the side moved faster than him. Before Louis bit his tongue and killed himself, a thick wood was stuffed into his mouth, completely blocking his teeth and tongue.

"Do you need me to freeze him again?" Keech asked, tilting his head.

"No, his body can't bear the second frostbite." Barosh walked up to Louis, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, sending two elemental bugs and a small amount of undead elemental into his body .

Louis who was invaded by the "corpse devourer" quickly lost the strength to struggle. Although his facial expression was still ferocious, his body completely calmed down and he didn't move.

"Find a rope to tie him up tightly, and even his mouth must be blocked tightly." Barosh clapped his hands and ordered to the two knights.

"Louis...what happened?" a knight couldn't help asking.

"He's got a soul-hunting spell." Barosh said indifferently, "A black magic that's worse than the forbidden spell."
