Chapter 15
Wow!
The cold water splashed on the man's face, and he woke up instantly, his eyes widened.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
The man kept asking for breath. He tried to move his body, but found that his whole body was in pain, and his limbs were fixed on the rack.
Unable to move, that was his state.
The masked man in front of him put the basin on the ground and leaned on the side with his hands on his chest.
She was still dressed in the same outfit, wrapped in a cloak, but only exposed her green pupils looking at him, which was very scary.
He still remembered clearly that his group of brothers were all knocked down by her agile and agile skills.
"Awake? If you wake up, let's talk."
The man looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
This was a dark and damp basement. Soon, he saw the woman sitting on the chair through the sound.
The other party was playing with her nails, and the table was full of torture instruments that could not pass the trial.
In the blur, he saw that the woman was wearing a very strange glove with several gems inlaid on it, but he couldn't count them clearly.
"There is a saying that goes, a man who knows the times is a hero."
"I think the various torture instruments at present can definitely pry open your mouth."
The man's cold sweat instantly soaked his whole body. He swung his body in panic, trying to escape from the restraints by struggling, but unfortunately, he couldn't move.
He hurriedly shouted: "I will tell you! I will tell you! I will tell you everything!"
Snap!
The masked man in front of him slapped him in the face.
"I haven't asked yet, what do you want to say?"
Liya played with the pliers in her hand, looked at him, and laughed out loud.
This crisp slap made the man in the haze very sober, and at the same time, anger occupied his reason.
"Do you know what you are doing!"
"Kidnapping! Lynching! You! You will be arrested!"
"So what? When you die on the roadside like a wild dog, will anyone care who killed you?"
Liya stood up with cold eyes, and it seemed that she had done this many times.
The man struggled desperately again.
"Damn it! Damn it! How dare you do this? What right do you have!?"
Liya looked at him as if he were a fool: "Because I have money."
Man: "..."
One sentence made him silent.
"You are great if you have money? If you have money, you can..."
"My brother is Victor, he is a noble, a third-level mage."
Man: "..."
He stopped talking.
Leah picked up the pliers and knocked on the table, and continued: "Since you know that we are the Cravenner family, you should have been prepared."
"Tell me, who ordered it."
"Duke, the Duke asked us to do it!"
He still did not change his previous confession, and seemed to want Leah to believe him, and he took the initiative to report an address.
"That's our base, you can go there, you can find it there!"
"The Duke gave us a large sum of money to let us smash your store today! I didn't lie, you have to believe me!"
Seeing the man's hysterics, the masked man approached Leah and lowered his voice.
"He said that before, could it really be the Duke who did it?"
Liya tutted, as if she didn't care.
"Clumsy means of framing."
"If you don't say that, maybe I still have some doubts about the Duke, but you insist on it, which reduces his suspicion."
The man was stunned for a moment, and in such a short moment, he was noticed by Leah on the spot.
Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing again.
The charming laughter gradually faded, she covered her belly, raised her charming eyes, and said with a smile.
"Do you really believe it? I lied to you."
"But looking at your reaction, it seems that it really wasn't done by the Duke. I said how could a Duke like him use such a despicable method."
The man opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something else, but Liya waved her hand directly.
"Okay, get rid of him, Liong."
"Don't forget to remove his body organs, you can still sell some money, oh, and his accomplices, all get rid of them, don't leave any."
Liya patted the man's face and smiled like a devil.
The man's body kept shaking, he struggled in fear, and wanted to say something.
But the next second, Liya flipped her palm lightly, and a bottle of potion appeared in her hand.
The azure potion shook with a dazzling luster under the light.
"What a pity! Even if I sell all your organs, your value is not as much as one of my products."
She looked at him with a smile, and the potion swayed back and forth in front of his eyes.
"Of course, this price isSomething worth a thousand euros is the same as you in my eyes. "
"It's worthless."
Pah!
The next second, the medicine bottle hit his face and broke into pieces.
He only felt a lot of liquid flowing down his numb face.
The red and blue potions intertwined, making it difficult to tell whether it was blood or potion.
"Mad man... You are a mad man! Let me go, let me go!"
The man's voice trembled, and he widened his eyes.
Under the dual torture of spirit and body, he had long been unrecognizable.
Liya saw the look on his face and couldn't help laughing again.
The beautiful smile penetrated people's hearts like a demon.
In the man's bloodshot eyes, she yawned, turned around and said lightly:
"Solve it as soon as possible."
"Yes. "
.......
After about a few hours, Leon had taken care of everything.
She sneaked into Victor's study through the window. Now that Victor was not there, Leah sat at the desk, handling the recent accounts.
There was no one else in the room. Leah took off her hood, revealing her short light golden hair and pointed ears.
Just these ears that were different from ordinary people were enough to prove her identity.
Elf.
"Miss, everything is cleaned up."
Liya didn't even raise her head, but she knew who was coming and smiled.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"My pleasure, Miss Leah."
Leon continued: "I collected a lot of money from those people, and I also went to their base to search around. These people recently received a lot of money, about 5,000 geos."
Liya took the purse handed by Leon, weighed it and put it aside.
"It's quite a lot. That person didn't lie. "
Lion looked up and couldn't help asking:
"Is it really not the Duke's order?"
Liya's hand paused, and she couldn't help laughing. After closing the account book, she looked at her with a smile:
"You believe it too?"
"What?"
She said with a smile: "Even if the Duke's suspicion is reduced to the lightest, it doesn't mean that he has cleared the suspicion."
"We just added a direction of suspicion, but the Duke still hates us. It has not changed."
"Maybe someone is interfering and deliberately provoking the conflict between us, Clevenna and the Duke, and the people behind are the ones who benefit."
"Or maybe the Duke is simply unhappy with us. After all, there is no need for a king to have two youngest third-level mages."
Lion didn't understand the calculations between these nobles. After a pause, he asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Why didn't you continue to interrogate him?"
"He won't say it, because he doesn't know who the instigator is. "
Liya flicked her purse with her hand, and the sound of 'ding ding dang dang' of Gio was heard from inside.
"Using money to trade is enough to show that the other party is not an important member, so he can only insist that it was the Duke who did it."
Liya said again:
"Why do you think the Duke's daughter came back to Dongcheng District? And happened to run into the gang that smashed the store?"
"In the end, she had to spend a lot of money to compensate for our broken potions?"
Leon frowned when she heard her words. She heard that Erica spent tens of thousands of Gio just for compensation, and she still felt a little incredible.
Can a person be so kind?
"I don't believe her words."
Liya spread her hands and said helplessly.
"I have lived with Victor for more than ten years. I am very familiar with what kind of person he is. "
"Although he has a talent for learning magic, it is still half a lifetime too early for him to teach others. I am afraid that when he was in the academy, he relied on the speech written by the teaching assistant and he just spoke casually in front of him."
"Erica actually said that she was his student. What can Victor teach her? "
......
At the same time, Vega, who was far away in Sanchel Town, sneezed.
Victor glanced at him. Can crows catch a cold?
But he didn't have time to care about crows that caught a cold.
They arrived at a town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. The town was not big and there was only one hotel here.
The knights didn't have to worry too much about where to stay. They could even sleep at the post station for a night on horseback.
But Gwen was a woman and their respected knight commander, so the knights asked Gwen to spend a night in the hotel to get her spirits up.
Similarly, Victor was a mage.
He also needed a good sleeping environment to replenish his mental strength.
So the two had to go to the hotel together.
It was agreed that they would have two rooms, but...
"Boss, is there really only one room left?"
GwenThe anxious look was a little funny to Victor.
It was the first time he saw her so unstable.
At this moment, she wanted to build a new house on the empty land immediately.
The boss was also very helpless.
"Sir Knight, how dare I lie to you? There is really only one king-size bed room left."
"Besides, I see that the two men and women are traveling together, so they should be partners. There is no problem living in the same room."
Gwen wanted to say something more anxiously, but Victor on the side interrupted her in advance.
"This room is fine."
Hearing Victor's words, Gwen's eyes widened and looked at him in disbelief.
