Chapter 14 Interrogation of Ms. Anne
Everything that happened today made Ron, the butler of Hongye Castle, who was already in his fifties, extremely unbelievable.
A few days ago, the Baron's eldest son, Ren Hall, led a wizard who could use magic to wrest control of Red Leaf Castle from Baron Hongye.
But Ren Hall had not been arrogant for a few days when the familiar face from his youth actually returned.
He also used the power of thunder to sweep away the caves, solved Ren Hall, and regained control of Hongye Castle.
"Lei, Master Lester! Welcome back!"
Ron, who was already a white-haired castle butler, choked up and called out the title that he had almost forgotten.
After walking out of his second brother's room, Lu Feng saw the butler Ron, whose old face looked a bit familiar.
"Are you Ron? The Ron who is afraid of riding and accompanying me into the tavern!"
The wizard's memory was very good, and Lu Feng quickly recalled the identity of the person in front of him from the depths of his memory.
Ron's father was the steward of Hongye Castle from the previous generation.
Ron is two years younger than Lu Feng and has been his best friend since childhood.
Before going to Trudeau Continent to study, Lu Feng was a famous aristocratic young man in Hongye Town. He was proficient in eating, drinking, playing, swordsmanship and riding.
He is the leading brother among his peers in Hongye Castle.
I thought that the eldest brother was gone, the second brother was also seriously ill, and most of his young peers were already gone.
Lu Feng didn't expect that here, he would meet his brother from his youth.
"Ron, I just came back today. Help me find a place to live. From now on, I plan to settle down in Hongye Town and never run out again. At this age, I am also ready to spend my remaining years in my hometown. !”
Knowing that Ron had inherited his father's position as housekeeper of Red Leaf Castle, Lu Feng was not polite to Ron and pulled Ron to talk.
"Master Lester, do you know what kind of accommodation you need?"
Lu Feng was very easy-going towards his former friends, but Ron was very reserved and used honorifics when speaking.
Lu Feng felt that an invisible barrier had appeared between the two of them, and there was a feeling that there was no going back.
Lu Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
No matter how hot the emotion is, it has become cold in the passing of more than thirty years.
After all, he and he are no longer the young boys they were before!
After clarifying the residence requirements with the housekeeper Ron, Ron quickly thought of a suitable place.
"Master Lester, the Kane Manor by Hongye Lake meets the requirements. It has a large space, is far away from residential areas, and there is a road leading to the town."
After listening to Ron's description, Lu Feng nodded with satisfaction and asked for Kane Manor.
His status as a wizard meant that Lu Feng was not suitable to live in Red Leaf Castle.
Even if Lu Feng actively restrains the life force field and lives in one place for a long time, the power of the life force field will escape during daily practice and life, which will often affect the surrounding environment and create some strange phenomena and creatures.
To avoid causing trouble, Lu Feng simply stayed away from Hongye Castle.
Ron agreed to Lu Feng's request and immediately went to make arrangements to tidy up Kane Manor.
Separating from the butler Ron, Lu Feng returned to the observation deck at the entrance of the castle. "Ms. Anne" who was bound by him with the "Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine" was still on the observation deck.
Even though Lady Anne was bound by vines, Houston did not have the guts to deal with Lady Anne under the black robe when he was dealing with his eldest brother's soldiers.
In the cold wind whistling on the observation deck, Ms. Anne was torn between two thoughts: running away and staying where she was.
Lu Feng's complicated mental state lasted until he finished his second brother's simple treatment and slowly came to the observation deck.
During the torturous ideological struggle, Annie felt mentally and physically haggard. When she saw Lu Feng's tall figure appeared in her eyes, she relaxed as if relieved.
With this relaxation, Annie's legs softened and she fell backwards until she reached the wall of the observation deck before she stabilized her figure.
Lu Feng saw this scene and couldn't help but frown.
This guy named Annie is too weak!
"My affairs are finished, now let's talk about your affairs! Do you want to die or live?"
The "wizard" in front of him looked pitifully weak. Lu Feng didn't bother to play tricks with her and asked directly.
Hearing Lu Feng's emotionless words, Annie, under the black robe, felt a chill in her heart.
A feeling of helplessness, the powerlessness of being held in the palm of others' hands, came to her heart, reminding her of that dark underground chamber.
Immediately, Anne, who was under the black robe, immediately fell to her knees, trembling and begging for mercy: "Master Wizard, please let me live, I want to live!"
Annie's psychological defense was broken, and Lu Feng quickly dug out the information he wanted to know from her.
Anne, as Lu Feng thought, was not a wizard apprentice who had received orthodox wizard education, but a miserable wizard experiment.
She was originally a commoner in a barony in the Principality of Distan. One day, a group of bandits attacked the barony. The baron's army was defeated and huddled in the castle to survive, but the civilians under the baron's command were in bad luck.
The bandits committed all sorts of crimes on the baron's territory, burning, killing, and looting. Annie's parents died at the hands of bandits, and she and a group of children were kidnapped by the bandits.
When she finally woke up, she was imprisoned in a dark chamber, and her ears were filled with the roars of monsters and endless wails of despair.
In endless fear, Annie was taken into a room by an old man and tied to a cold experimental table.
After suffering inhuman torture, Annie managed to survive and unexpectedly gained the ability to control black flames.
With the power of the black flame, Anne endured the humiliation and finally saw an opportunity. She burned the old man who experimented on her with the black flame and escaped from the dark secret room.
However, what made Anne even more desperate was that after seeing the light of day again, she fled into a village, but was driven out by the villagers who called her a monster.
Lifting Annie's black robe, Lu Feng saw Annie's true appearance. Her petite face was covered with fine black snake scales, and her eyes were similar to the vertical pupils of snakes.
"A typical bloodline transformation experiment. It seems that you have met a dark wizard apprentice who studies the way of blood. In order to survive, these dark wizard apprentices have fallen. They really have no humanity at all!"
After a few glances, Lu Feng guessed what happened to Annie.
He encountered a lot of this kind of thing when he was studying at the Trudeau Continent [Botanical Garden].
[Botanical Garden] is a well-known white wizard organization on Trudeau Continent. Its daily activities also include actions to exterminate black wizards.
Lu Feng also participated in some for the magic stone.
Like Anne, unlucky people who were persecuted by dark wizards who studied the art of blood, he had also personally helped and dealt with some of them.
