When Lin Li came out of the city lord's palace, it was already dark. The city of Terra was quiet at night, and not a single pedestrian could be seen on the streets.
Lin Li stood at the door of the city lord's palace and thought for a while. Instead of returning to the hotel, he walked towards the house next to the lord's palace. This house was the home of the city lord's servant Vito.
"Dang Dang Dang" Lin Li thought for a moment at the door, and then knocked on Vito's door.
"Has Master Lin Li come back? I wonder what the outcome of today's battle will be?" Vito opened the door and looked at Lin Li in surprise, and asked nervously.
"Why don't you invite me in first?" Seeing Vito's nervous look, Lin Li confirmed his guess a little bit and said with a smile.
"Oh, my subordinate is rude. Master Lin Li, come in quickly." Vito heard Lin Li's words and quickly invited Lin Li into the house.
Lin Li walked into the room and found that Vito's home was very simple, with only some simple furniture, which was very inconsistent with his identity.
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Lin Li coming to see me so late?" Vito said, bringing over a cup of steaming tea.
Lin Li looked at the tea thoughtfully, but still raised the cup and drank the tea in one gulp.
"I wonder if you have poisoned this tea?" Lin Li asked suddenly.
Vito couldn't help but trembled when he heard Lin Li's words, and said with a smile: "Master Lin Li is really good at joking, how dare I poison Master Lin Li."
Lin Li looked at this demon who was always wearing a cloak and facing his demon clan with half a face, and said calmly: "This may be the best way to get rid of me."
"I think Mr. Lin Li is a good person." Vito also said strangely.
Lin Li didn't expect to receive this good guy card out of the blue, "Then do you have anything you want to tell me?"
"Can I trust you, Mr. Lin Li?"
"It's up to you to decide whether you believe me or not. I won't force you."
Vito thought for a while without saying anything, then took off his cloak in front of Lin Li, revealing his entire face.
Lin Li finally saw Vito's true face. Vito's face had a human-like red skin, which made Lin Li feel that he was very similar to the Balrog, except that Vito had a white cloth wrapped around his head and no horns on his forehead.
Under Lin Li's gaze, Vito untied the white cloth on his forehead in circles. As the white cloth was untied, Lin Li saw that Vito's forehead was not without horns, but that the entire horns had been dug out, leaving only
I saw shocking scars.
"Are you from the Fire Demon Clan?" Lin Li asked, looking at the scar on Vito's forehead.
"Master Lin Li, haven't you already guessed it? I am a villager from the Fire Demon Tribe. I have disfigured myself over the years and have been lurking beside our Lord of Terra City, waiting for an opportunity to avenge my tribe.
"Vito was no longer as calm as before, but said viciously.
"Then what's going on with your Flame Demon Clan? What's going on with the Flame Demon Crystal?" Lin Li asked Vito, wanting to know the truth from Vito.
"Sir, can you come with me? I will take you to a place." Vito said and had already put on his cloak again.
Lin Li nodded and followed Vito out of the room. Vito led the way without saying a word, shuttled through the streets of the city, and came to the innermost location of the city. Lin Li looked up at the building he saw. It turned out to be Tai
The prison in Lacheng, I don’t know why Vito brought him here.
"Sir Vito, I wonder why you came to the prison so late?" the guard at the prison door asked politely when he saw Vito arriving.
"The Lord of the City asked me to bring Lord Lin Li to interrogate a prisoner." Vito said, taking out a black token from his arms.
The guard glanced at the token and stepped away to let Vito and Lin Li enter the prison. Lin Li walked slowly along the steps into the prison. Most of the entire prison was built underground, and the environment was dark and humid. From time to time, there were
There was the sound of whips and the prisoners' cries of pain.
"Sir Lin Li, do you know why this prison is built underground?" Vito asked in front of Lin Li.
"Why?"
"Because the prison is built underground, the cries of the prisoners will not be heard, and our city lord can sleep peacefully every day."
Lin Li looked at Vito in front of him and did not answer any more. Instead, he carefully observed the cells on both sides of them. Most of the prisoners in the cells were lying on the ground covered in blood and groaning in pain. "What have these people committed?
Wrong?" Lin Li asked as he looked at the prisoners.
"The people here just contradicted the nobles in the city." Vito looked at these annoying people and said calmly.
"Is it necessary to be punished like this just for contradicting a noble?"
Lin Li suddenly thought of Jerry, who must have been thrown here at that time. No wonder he was so scared when he saw him again.
Without stopping, Lin Li followed Vito and continued walking forward, and soon reached the deepest part of the prison.
Lin Li saw that the people imprisoned here were actually members of the Fire Demon tribe. Each of these Fire Demon tribe members were hung by their hands on the beams of the prison. Their bodies were covered with scars and they were all dying. It was not known whether they were dead or alive. In the prison
The jailer was still waving the whip in his hand vigorously, and kept beating the bodies of these Balrogs. He could only hear the sound of the whip, but not the wails of these Balrogs.
"Okay, everyone is really resisting beatings. Let's see today whether it's your lives or our whips that are tougher. Brothers, give me a hard beating and beat these beasts to death." The jailer continued to beat and scolded.
With.
"Stop!" Vito shouted, and Lin Li could clearly feel Vito's anger.
"Huh?" When the guards heard the shouting, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Vito, "Ah, it's Mr. Vito, why are you here again in this dirty place of ours? We have a strong evil spirit here.
I'm afraid of hurting your body." The jailer stepped forward and said with a flattering look on his face.
"You all, please step back. The Lord of the City asked me to come over to interrogate the prisoner. There is nothing to do here without you."
When the jailers heard Vito's order, they all laughed and withdrew from Lin Li.
Seeing that the jailers had left, Vito walked up to the members of the Balrog clan who had been beaten just now. He touched the wounds of the clansmen in front of him with trembling hands, took out the painkillers he had prepared earlier from his arms, and applied them to the wounds of these clansmen.
.
"Lord Vito, you shouldn't have come to see us. Every time you see us, you are in more danger. The future of the Fire Demon clan lies with you. You must not let anything happen to you."
The Fire Demon clan members are still worried about the safety of Vito.
"I'm fine. If you just hold on for a while, I will definitely rescue you all." Vito said firmly, looking at the group of suffering tribesmen in front of him.
