All the buildings in the city are made of the local specialty black steel stone. The surface is dark and dull, but it is even harder than steel. The black city walls, black buildings, and black castles, the entire Black Mountain City is as cold and hard as the mountains here.
the character of the people.
The mountain people near Black Mountain City are all simple and diligent, but they have become extremely fierce and brave in the harsh living environment. They usually work in the fields and harvest enough food to fill their stomachs. During the farm break, they go into the mountains in groups.
Hunting and hunting prey became the main source of daily meat for the mountain people.
It is this strange life of half farmer and half hunter that has sharpened the strong physique and brave fighting spirit of the mountain people. The mountain people who walked out from here are all the best human warriors, and they have also become the empire.
The most popular group in the military.
Perhaps at the beginning of its construction, the city builders did not intend to turn Black Mountain City into a beautiful mountain city with beautiful scenery, but regarded it as the most solid fortress. Therefore, the buildings in the city can hardly see the softness and luxury found in other areas.
Almost all of them are castles, fortresses and towers that can be used for military purposes.
Reina's 'residence' is located on the top floor of a tall stone tower behind the main castle of Montenegro City.
Not only is the interior space wide, but it also has a good view. On the top floor of a tower, there are huge open narrow windows on all four walls. Since there are no wooden windows to block it, the howling mountain breeze can freely rush into the hall.
, swept away all unsecured items inside, and then slipped out of the window on the other side.
Of course, what they took away was the last touch of warmth!
At night, the upper hall of the tower was so cold that even a strong mountain man could freeze to death overnight if he didn't have enough warm clothing.
However, at this moment, the disheveled and ragged Reina was sitting shivering on the cold floor in the center of the hall, her head buried between her knees, and her thin and shriveled body could not help but tremble slightly. Whenever she tried to move,
On his own, the cold-as-ice alloy shackles on his feet would make a strange clattering sound.
The alloy shackles are attached to a silver chain as thick as an arm. The chain winds around and goes deep into the building below through a small hole in the center of the floor. If you tighten the chain, you will find that the distance is just enough.
Rena walked to the stone window in the hall.
In addition to the alloy shackles, an iron mask was also put on Lena's face to prevent her from spitting out the pebbles in her mouth. And Lena also wore a pair of fingerless iron gloves on her wrists, with countless cold
The hard and sharp iron thorns had already pierced into her flesh and blood. If Reina moved even slightly, the iron thorns would tear open the wound and purple-black blood would flow out.
In such an open and cold place, Lena only had a black robe that was too tattered to cover her body. At this moment when she couldn't gather the power of witchcraft to warm her body, the only thing that supported her survival was the wizard's unusual strength.
Strong physique.
Although Reina is not a body-refining wizard, she has a physical constitution of 11 points after advancing to level 2.
This makes her body look inconspicuous, but it also has strong vitality and recovery power that is no weaker than that of a giant jungle beast. With the torture and harsh treatment she suffered, other weak women would have died countless times. But
Apart from Lena's appearance, which is a bit miserable, the fire of life in her thin body is still burning hot, and she is particularly charming.
There has never been a moment when Rena longed for strength and power so much!
There was a fire burning in her chest, burning her soul day and night.
In the past, she relied on her mother's power to dominate and enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world, as well as drunkenness and beautiful men. Her life was unprecedentedly depraved and extravagant. However, at this moment, the cause and effect of the past has become a burden on her at this moment.
sin.
In order to survive and survive, she did so many things to betray the witch sisters.
But five years have passed, and the hoped-for reinforcements have not yet arrived, and her mental state has become extremely desperate.
She knew that her wizarding talent was not very good, and it was her mother who spent a lot of resources to barely stack her up to level 2. However, she was really lucky, and she unexpectedly got pregnant during a *uncovered party.
, gave birth to Xuefu, who has good talent in ice and snow.
And Lena, who believed that she had completed her historical mission, became more and more licentious and extravagant. She went to all kinds of extravagant banquets every day, and was surrounded by all kinds of handsome and strong men every day. Even the wizard she relied on for a living.
His magical abilities have deteriorated to an appalling level.
Otherwise, how could a level 2 witch with such power be so easily captured alive by the plane natives!
However, when she was hurting herself miserably, Lena suddenly raised her head, her purple eyes looking through the tall and narrow stone window at the sky above Montenegro City.
Although her body was severely restrained, her ability to sense elements far beyond those of ordinary people was still there.
Just now, she suddenly sensed a weak and strange gathering point of wind elements appearing in the sky above Black Mountain City, and it was still swimming slowly.
Is it a naturally formed wind cave, or...
Reina climbed up from the ground without hesitation, ignoring the fact that she was dripping with blood from the spikes on her hands and feet. She rushed to the narrow window and stared at the empty sky in the distance.
The silver chain pulled by Reina's violent movement rattled loudly, which also attracted the attention of the paladin guarding her below.
With the strange sound of iron shoes trampling on the stone steps, a black iron knight and three armored guards walked into the hall along the spiral stone staircase in the corner of the hall.
Seeing Reina holding the narrow window stone platform tightly with her hands, the silver chain behind her collapsed straight, and black blood flowed rapidly along her arms and thighs, leaving bloody footprints on the floor.
"What are you doing? Don't run to the window..." The young paladin looked at Lena with eyes filled with unconcealed hatred and disgust, and shouted loudly. The three armored guards following him even more
He took off the long whip wrapped with iron wire from his waist and whipped it toward Rena's skinny back with a whistling sound.
ah……
The long whip roared, and the whip curled up and down, shattering Rena's black robe, leaving a long whip mark on her muddy back.
Lena grasped the stone edge of the narrow window tightly with both hands, raised her neck and let out a scream that tore through the sky.
Because this scream contained a trace of spiritual power, it penetrated the hall and lingered around the tower for a long time before slowly dissipating.
And in Rena's mental induction, the strange wind element gathering point floating high in the sky seemed to sense her screams, and began to slowly swim towards the tower.
It is not formed naturally, it is controlled by someone...
When the three armored guards saw that Lena was unmoved by the whipping, they each pulled the silver chains tightly and pulled her away from the narrow window. Under the strength of both sides, the spikes of the shackles on her hands and feet were deeply embedded in the flesh.
, which cut through Reina's bones with a loud clanking sound.
However, at this moment, Reina's spirit had obviously fallen into some kind of abnormal excitement, and she could not feel the physical pain at all. She was lying on the floor like an epileptic patient, and her muscles all over her body were twitching abnormally.
The three guards swarmed forward, and the long whips in their hands fell on Reina like raindrops, beating her until her flesh and blood were blurred, and blood spattered.
"Just stay here and confess your sins. Your meal for today has been cancelled... If you dare to go crazy again, you won't even have your meal for tomorrow!"
The young paladins selected by the Holy Light Chapel to watch Reina are all those who hate witches extremely, or have been persecuted by witches, or someone in their family has died in the witch rebellion. Only such guys will ignore the charm of Reina.
Skills and faithful completion of tasks.
As for the little flesh damage that Reina suffered, it was nothing at all. It only took a night to heal most of it. And this was exactly what the Paladins were most afraid of and envied!
After punishing Lena again, the young paladin returned to the tower with three guards.
There is no way, the hall at the top of the tower is too cold, and even the physiques of the black iron knights cannot withstand the fierce mountain wind. Therefore, on weekdays, when nothing happens, the guarding paladins and guards are stationed in the tower below.
.Only when Rena makes trouble will they come up and punish her.
As for escaping... Lena, with most of her witchcraft power destroyed, is a slightly stronger witch. She is unable to remove the spiked shackles and mask made of special metal, so there is no possibility of escaping.
And when the tower hall became quiet again, leaving only the whistling sound of the strong wind passing by, the strange gathering point of wind elements had floated outside the hall, and seemed to be entering through the window.
"Don't come in!" Reina reluctantly raised her body from the floor and communicated in secret spiritual words: "There is a Holy Light Array hidden under the floor of the hall. Any concentration of elemental power will trigger an alarm..."
The formless 'wind' seemed to understand Lena's warning and froze in the void outside the window.
"Who are you? Tess or Itariel?" Lena asked with a sad face.
She also heard a little bit about what happened to the witch sisters.
After all, when the Paladins want to interrogate some of the witches' internal secrets, they will inevitably reveal to her the current status of some of the remaining witches. And she naturally knows that the reason why the Paladins brought her to Montenegro City is to capture the last two
A powerful level 3 witch.
"Haha, Sir Reina, long time no see!"
What Leina didn't expect was that the spiritual secret message transmitted from the strange wind spirit turned out to be a male voice. And the familiar voice and tone also made Leina overjoyed.
"G...Glim...you are...Lord Greem..." (To be continued)
