Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 21, The Kidnapped Protagonist
Deterrence by force is often the most effective, especially for young people who have no experience in the world.
Although they are brave and impulsive, they are also prone to cowardice. When encountering things they cannot understand and resist, they often hesitate and let others manipulate them.
Yi Yi pretended to be a kidnapper seeking money, lowered his voice and threatened in a rough voice: "I only want the reward, I don't want to kill anyone, understand, boy!"
Then he activated his mental power and released strong oppression in his eyes. Elfo was stunned on the spot.
After doing this, he walked over and pulled out the dagger, spinning a few beautiful knife flowers in his palm, releasing a stronger threat signal. At this time, he couldn't help but thank Earl Hyde for his "excellent education", which allowed him to rely on him when he couldn't rely on him.
In the magic period, there are many more life-saving skills.
Alfo had also read a lot of "literary works" in college and was very familiar with lines like this. This kind of kidnapping usually has a comedic ending, with the ruthless kidnapper being captured by the detective-minded protagonist, leaving the hostages intact. He had previously
The protagonist has always been cast as a chivalrous and righteous character, and he feels that these kidnappers are stupid and vulnerable.
Now the script is repeated, but he has become the weakest one, so he no longer has the comfortable mood of that day, only panicked, and very obedient nodding and cooperation, which invisibly perfectly fits the role of the vase hostage.
When I saw the ransom note left by Ian, I felt inexplicably relieved. I was taken away by Ian without any resistance. It was so naive.
Of course, Ian's invisible display of force was the main reason. Seeing him jump from the second floor unscathed with Alfo in his arms indicates that this person is very skilled in martial arts and is not easy to mess with.
The two of them walked in tandem towards the Dominican Church. In Alfo's opinion, the kidnapper should have gone to join his accomplices at this time.
"Hey...where are you taking me?"
The extremely "harmonious" scene between the "kidnapper" and the "hostage" lasted for less than half an hour. Alfo finally couldn't help it and had the courage to ask.
Ian glanced back at him, his cold eyes emotionless, but did not answer him, and walked straight forward, as if he was not afraid of the other party escaping.
Alfo only saw a pair of emotionless eyes, and his heart felt cold. He immediately did not dare to speak anymore and followed silently.
This is too far from the plot of the novel. Damn it, who will save me!
…
When he returned to the church, in order to avoid crowds of people, he deliberately entered through the back door and prepared to find a place to lock him up. He happened to meet Roger on the way, so he casually asked: "Is there a dungeon here?"
Roger looked at Alfo and raised his eyebrows slightly. From the look in his eyes, it seemed that the two of them knew each other, but he did not reveal it and pointed to a door casually: "There is a secret room in the bedroom where I live. The entrance and exit are in the closet."
Later, go on your own."
"That's not good!" Ian wondered. After all, the bedroom is a private place, and wizards like to hide secrets the most.
Roger smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. Because of the secret room, I usually live in the bell tower."
Since this was the case, Ian had nothing to hide. He thanked Alfo and said, "Go and stay in the secret room. I will let you out when the time comes."
Hearing this, Alfo nodded hurriedly as if he had been granted amnesty. This level of obedience made Ian wonder if he had the attributes of a certain forbidden word.
In Alfo's view, according to the plot of the novel, Roger should be the most important foreshadowing of the entire drama at this time. Although he is just a sidekick, it is the key point for the protagonist to come to save him in the future.
Based on his many years of experience, although Roger is a villain at this time, his identity as a priest implies that he will definitely change in the future. After all, what many writers like to do most is metaphor. For example, Roger's character now represents,
The shepherd may be lost, but sooner or later he will wake up and return to God's way.
Therefore, the lost priest in front of him will be an important person for the protagonist to come to save him in the future. Thinking of this, his attitude towards Roger suddenly softened.
Wait until Roger's conscience awakens...
It’s really unpleasant to think about it. I, Alvor Trevor, a top student at Appleton University, is just a supporting role. What a bullshit writer, a shitty drama, absurd, absurd. This young master should have a talent.
A knight, a natural ranger, the object of countless beauties' love.
A feeling of depression swelled in my heart, and the idea of becoming a playwright or writer gradually grew in my heart.
Damn it, study hard from now on, I can do it on my own, and I will never beep blindly.
…
On the other hand, although Roger knew Alfo, he only knew that he was the son of the famous lawyer Carl Trevor and had no other friendship.
Moreover, the Elfo family was not a believer in the Scythe Bearer, so they had no extra thoughts when they saw that Ian might want to deal with them.
"Don't let anyone catch you!" Roger suddenly said as he passed by.
Ian was a little helpless when he heard this, but in order to maintain the image of a kidnapper, he still nodded indifferently and uttered heavy syllables in his nasal cavity.
You bastard...
Alfo was furious, but when he thought that the "protagonist" would need his guidance to "rescue" him in the future, his anger subsided again.
After snorting at Roger, he followed Ian into the secret room.
After locking the secret room door and placing Alfo, he happened to meet Jasmine in the corridor, so he asked: "Miss Jasmine, have your father's people arrived?"
Jasmine nodded and continued: "Well, we'll talk about this later. Are you free to go with me to meet Condra today?"
Why are you meeting Condra? Haven't you met her before? What are you going to do again today?
Jasmine seemed to understand Ian's doubts, so she showed an elegant smile and explained Ian's doubts: "Willie plans to negotiate with them and wants to invite me to demonstrate. Would you like Master Hyde to meet this money-minded man?"
The pastor here?"
This Mr. Willy is really a good man, he knows how to bully others, which is a bit interesting.
Ian nodded and agreed, then returned to the room to change and prepare for the trip.
It's snowing again today, so you need to wear thicker clothes. The monastic robes are very suitable for keeping out the cold and for demonstrations.
As soon as I went out, I saw a carriage parked on the street. The door of the carriage was open, and inside sat Master Willie Catherine, shivering and staring intently at the church.
The sudden wind and snow were pouring in, but I didn't see him closing the door, eating the wind and drinking the snow with the rough-skinned coachman, his face was frozen with the cold.
When he saw Jasmine and Ian coming out, a smile appeared on his face that was frozen and red, and he got out of the car very attentively to invite Jasmine and Ian. He was a good person.
Ian was a little surprised, thinking that Willy, a wealthy businessman, didn't need to do this, but seeing Jasmine's satisfied expression and Willy's satisfied expression after seeing Jasmine satisfied, he decided not to say anything else.
Sometimes unreasonable things don't mean they won't exist or are even common.
Taking a car is much faster than walking, and the carriage will soon reach its destination.
Carlos Church is dedicated to the Lord of Light, one of the three main gods. The religious buildings stretch into groups, and the main body of the tall church is magnificent, magnificent and majestic.
In particular, the central church with one main church and three auxiliaries is shocking, much better than the Dominican church.
"The evil Lord of Light!" Jasmine cursed lightly. She was a believer of the Scythe Bearer anyway, so there was nothing wrong with casually slandering the enemy god.
But the envy, jealousy and hatred in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
Ian, who was standing side by side, felt the same way. He was more frank and said directly with envy: "The evil rich man!"
When we entered the church, it was empty.
It was not a time for prayer or worship in the morning, so apart from some orphans adopted by the church doing cleaning, the only ones left were the white-robed priest kneeling under the pure gold statue and a middle-aged man sitting behind him.
Awakened people are aware of each other. Neither Ian nor Jasmine can hide their own energy. Therefore, as soon as they entered the church, the negative energy field filled with them attracted Condra's attention.
Neither Jasmine nor Ian spoke, and Willy naturally didn't take the initiative to talk.
The three of them stood like this until Condra stood up, which lasted a long twenty minutes and thirty-two seconds.
Why Ian can be accurate to the second is because he and Jasmine have been enduring invisible oppression every second since they entered the church.
This majestic pressure originated from Condra alone, causing him inhuman pain and making him remember this painful moment deeply.
This pressure comes from the mental intimidation of senior awakened people. It is pure spiritual oppression, a real collision, not fancy at all.
At the beginning, he seemed to have returned to the moment when he witnessed Roger's attack. Helplessness and fear rushed into his heart, tearing at the joints of his limbs, trying to soften them.
Condra was intimidating them, hoping they would relent and leave, hoping they would order Willy to give in.
Except for them, nothing happened to anyone else.
But Willy was not blind, and he could see what was happening. He couldn't help but become nervous, and sincerely began to pray to the scythe bearer that they could win this contest.
At this moment, he had never believed in Hyderian so devoutly, hoping that he could bless his followers.
Jasmine was uncomfortable with it at first, and she stumbled forward and fell forward. Even more dangerously, she was caught by Ian with quick eyes and hands just when she was about to fall, so she felt a surge of gratitude in her heart.
If it weren't for Ian, she would have been embarrassed today. This is an unacceptable shame for the Felix family.
But she didn't even have time to cast a grateful look, and immediately focused on mobilizing her mental power to resist Condra's oppression, not daring to be distracted at all.
After helping Jasmine, Ian also devoted himself to it, but his actions seemed to attract Condra's attention, so the invisible pressure on his brain suddenly increased.
Ian was shaky, but he still held his breath.
"Damn, that mixture really works!"
If it weren't for the witchcraft mixture, he would probably have fallen down by now, Ian thought with great certainty.
The alien version of the "system" was incredibly effective. It significantly enhanced his mental strength and the negative energy field in his body, allowing him to withstand invisible pressure that was more than twice as strong as Jasmine's.
Even under this kind of squeezing, the potency of the mixture remaining in his skin tissue was stimulated again, and it quickly integrated into his blood and took effect.
So a comic scene was staged in the astonished eyes of everyone: In the Church of Light, which is known as eternal light and pure soul, a circle of negative energy field whirled faintly around Ian, forcibly forming a circle in the Carlos Church with rich positive energy. There are layers of weak "tides".
The inaudible sound of the waves comes and goes with the rhythm of Ian's "breathing".
From six minutes and six seconds until the end of twenty minutes and thirty-two seconds.
