"Give it back to me!" Regnar said with a sullen face. All the muscles in his body tensed up, as if he was trying his best to get rid of the restraints of those ropes.
Although Regnar always remembered this pendant, he also always understood his promise to Annelotte. But to be honest, no matter what situation he fell into, Regnar never thought of calling Annelotte.
A small part of the reason was that Regnar's pride as a man prevented him from accepting being saved by a woman, especially the woman he loved. More importantly, Regnar didn't want Annelotte to take risks. If she couldn't handle the situation at that time, then Annelotte might not be able to handle it either. Letting her come would only put Annelotte in danger, which Regnar would never allow.
"Do you think you are qualified to ask for these things?" Saron smiled slightly. In fact, it was Regner's own fault for being stupid. If he pretended not to care about the pendant, then Saron might not be curious about it. But the problem is that when Regnar saw Saron turning his attention to the pendant, this guy became anxious. Do you think Saron could not be interested in this thing
"What is this?" Saron couldn't help but ask after looking at the pendant. The material of this thing is nothing more than a space gem. Although it is expensive, it is not particularly rare - it is a must-have raw material for making space pockets.
But Saron couldn't understand the magic circle engraved on the space gem. This magic circle seemed to be related to the transmission of spiritual information, but he didn't particularly understand the specific operating principle. This made Saron even more unhappy. After all, he was also a magician. Although he was not particularly interested in or proficient in magic circle science, he couldn't understand the magic circle of any thing Regnar carried on his body. If so, does this mean that he has been surpassed by Regnar again
Saron couldn't help but feel even more angry when he thought of this. He raised the pendant, put it in front of Regnar and asked, "What is this?"
"You can guess for yourself." Regnar curled his lips and said rather disdainfully: "What? You can't even understand such a random magic circle? A high-level mage? Don't make people laugh!"
Bang! Saron punched Regnar in the abdomen again.
"Ugh..."
Regnar couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, and his whole body was shaking slightly from the severe pain.
Saron looked at Regner's performance with satisfaction, and then continued: "Tell me, this will save you a lot of pain."
Regnar stretched his neck, then stared at Saron and said: "After I fell into your hands, I didn't even want to continue living. So, whatever you do! But if you want to ask me anything useful, I advise you to give up on this thing."
"You are really tough." Saron smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and then the two jailors who were waiting outside quickly walked in.
"I'm going to take a nap first, and you guys will fight for another two hours. Don't care what he says, just fight. Call me when you have enough time." Salon gave a calm order, then took the pendant and left.
The two jailers did not dare to delay after receiving the order. They quickly picked up whips and sticks and other torture instruments, and then greeted Regnar vigorously.
Regnar didn't know how many times he had been knocked unconscious. He felt that no piece of skin on his body was intact anymore, and every cell in his body seemed to be moaning and telling his pain.
But Regnar didn't care much about this. In addition to the physical pain, Regnar felt uncomfortable in his heart. He failed to protect Irene, and he failed to fulfill his promise to Annelotte, and he also failed to take good care of Inelise... Thinking of these, Regnar felt like his heart was twisting, and as for being beaten... maybe Maybe he was used to being beaten in the slums, so he didn't particularly care. Of course, the pain was inevitable.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but Saron walked in again. He asked the jailer a few questions. After confirming that Regnar didn’t say anything, Saron waved them out.
"You are really durable!" Saron couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Regna, who was covered in blood. There were whip marks, stick wounds, knife wounds, and marks left by various branding irons. It seemed that the two jailers really tried their best to complete their tasks.
But even though Regnar was tortured to the point of dying, this guy still refused to say anything. It's just the origin and function of a pendant, what about him
Saron frowned, and then said to Regnar: "You should know that concealment is of no use to a mage."
"So what?" Regnar's consciousness was already quite blurry at this time, and he asked in a hoarse voice.
"So, I want you to understand how ridiculous your persistence is." Saron had a sinister expression, and then began to cast spells.
Probe Thoughts, a sixth-level spell that allows the caster to peer into the subject's memories.
As soon as Saron's palm touched Regnar's forehead, Regnar screamed like a slaughtering pig. Because this spell uses magic to invade the subject's mental domain, the spell of probing the mind itself is an unbearable torture for the subject.
According to Saron's opinion, this is also his revenge on Regnar. Because he wanted to let Regnar experience both physical and mental torture before he died. Only in this way can he extinguish his anger.
Because of the deliberate delay, Saron's thought exploration lasted for a full twenty minutes. During these twenty minutes, Regnar was yelling in pain, but not long after, his voice became hoarse, and by the end, Regnar was completely unable to scream.
When Saron removed the spell, Regnar passed out again. Because of the devastating blow to his spirit, Regnar was rolling his eyes at this moment, with snot and saliva flowing down unbridled, looking like an intellectually retarded fool.
Saron withdrew his spell, and he also saw a lot of interesting fragments through Regnar's memory. Originally, Saron wanted to use this to laugh at Regnar, but he didn't expect that Regnar would actually do it because of it. This spell completely collapsed.
Saron thought for a moment, then walked out of the torture chamber.
On the afternoon of the next day, in a plain open space north of Costa Fortress, a thousand Stoker soldiers were standing there in a neat phalanx.
"Hello? What's going on today?" A soldier asked quietly.
"I'm not sure, but I heard that we are here to witness Lord Saron's glorious deeds." His companion answered uncertainly.
"Glorious deeds?" The soldier was stunned.
"That's right." The companion nodded, and then said: "Didn't Lord Saron capture Regnar, the Dark Elegy of the Hawke Empire, a few days ago? It is said that another person will be captured today. I heard that it seems to be the second person of the Hawke Empire. Prince Alexander, right? Or Annelotte, the last champion of the tournament? I’m not sure.”
"So that's it. It seems like there will be a good show today!" The soldier looked very excited. It was definitely a good show to watch the top heroes in the mainland fight.
At this time, Regner was also being carried out by the Stoker people. He was only wearing a pair of tattered prison pants and his upper body was tied to the cross. He lowered his head feebly, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
"Kill one more, and only Alexander will be left, right?" Saron looked at the thousand Stoker soldiers who were serving as evidence for him, and then thought excitedly.
Saron was too lazy to say anything to these soldiers. He called them here just to let them prove that he did not play any tricks and defeated the enemy in an upright manner. As for expecting them to help you when you can't beat him? Saron has never considered this kind of thing!
Therefore, after Saron saw that everyone had arrived, he stopped giving any lengthy speeches. He just raised the pendant in his hand, and then injected a trace of fighting spirit into it.
I have to say that although the magic circle on this pendant was temporarily inscribed by Annelotte, it is very effective. When Saron injected fighting energy into it, Annelotte sensed the message from the pendant almost at the same time.
"Huh?" Annelotte was stunned, and then her heart rate accelerated. Call for help! Regnar called for help! Something happened to him after all!
Annelotte's panic lasted only a second. She took another ten seconds to collect her thoughts, and then stood up.
"Irene..." Annelotte looked at Irene, who finally fell into a nap, and then started to cast the spell in the softest tone.
She cast a sleep emblem on Erin—a spell that would ensure that Erin would fall into a deep sleep that could not be awakened for the entire day.
After confirming that Irene would not wake up, Annelotte walked out. She called the guards and told them a few things briefly. It's just that Eileen will fall into a deep sleep for a long time. Don't disturb her and just take care of her. Also, Annelotte told these guards that if a person calling himself Malolite came to find her, let him go directly south to the Costa Fortress to find her.
It took the Frost Girl a minute from the time Annelotte received the distress signal to the time she finished explaining everything. After doing all this, Annelotte took a deep breath. She activated her spiritual imprint, and then controlled the space gem in the distance, allowing it to open a space portal for herself.
…
The first thing that stretched out was a cute little foot wrapped in a cloth boot as white as snow, followed closely by a white bare hand that poked out of the portal. After that, a face that even Saron couldn't help but be moved by appeared from the portal.
But the absence of consciousness only lasted for a few seconds. Saron released the spell he had prepared without hesitation after Annelotte stepped out of the portal. The spell ray directly hit Annelotte who was caught off guard, but it did not cause any harm to Annelotte. Because this spell is a dimensional anchor, Saron used this spell on Annelotte face to face, just to prevent Annelotte from escaping with instant teleportation when she couldn't defeat her.
After the spell hit, Saron smiled and saluted Annelotte: "This is the first time we meet, you must be Miss Annelotte, right? I am Salon."
Annelotte ignored Saron, and even regarded the thousand Stoker soldiers behind Saron as nothing. The focus of her eyes was only one, and that was Regnar who was tied to the cross, with no good piece of meat left in his body, and who now didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Annelotte was stunned for a full ten seconds, and after that, her eyes burst out with cold and violent anger like an arctic storm.
