Omotata, also known as Fujiwara Hidego, was a famous military commander in Japan during the Heian period.
Judging from his attitude, this person has a relatively strong personality and is used to taking the initiative in conversations.
But because of his bold temper and hearty smile, his slight strength will not make others dislike him.
Lu Xiao greeted each other politely, and since time was tight, the two of them simplified the self-introduction process as much as possible.
Lu Xiao went straight to the point and asked Omo Touta if he had heard about the information about Serenity Hassan.
Omotata scratched his head and said hesitantly: "I don't know who Serenity Hassan you are talking about, but there is indeed a beautiful girl who is imprisoned in a single cell in the deepest part of the dungeon, and the Knights of the Round Table torture her every day.
Severe torture."
"Excessive!"
Sanzang puffed up his cheeks and said displeasedly: "Torturing a young girl to extract a confession, is this considered a knight's practice?"
Lu Xiao stopped Sanzang from complaining: "If you have any complaints, we'll talk about it later. Your Excellency, Mr. Ototo, can you help guide the way? That girl is one of my allies. She has been entrusted by others. I must rescue her."
"no problem."
Omotouta moved his right arm, which was exposed outside the costume, and used his magic weapon to reveal his Noble Phantasm Longbow.
"I also plan to make some 'return gifts' to the knights here. Your Excellency, Lu Xiao, come with me."
Perhaps in the eyes of the Knights of the Round Table, Omotota's existence was not important, and there was not even a dedicated person guarding him near his cell.
But Jing Ming is different. As one of the leaders of the Mountain People, she knows the detailed locations of all the Mountain People's villages.
Before Lu Xiao set off, Curse Wan specifically mentioned that if Jing Ming couldn't withstand the torture and revealed the village's secrets, he hoped Lu Xiao could execute him on the spot.
It's not that Curse Wan doesn't want to execute the traitor with his own hands, but that Jing Ming's situation is rather special. Instead of taking the risk of bringing her back to the village, it's better to solve it on the spot.
When Lu Xiao and Sanzo, led by Omotata, reached the deepest part of the dungeon, eight soldiers stood densely at the door of the small cell.
"Enemy attack!"
When they witnessed the three men approaching, the soldiers of the Knights shouted a warning loudly and formed a formation to attack the three men.
These soldiers are not heroic spirits, or even solemn knights transformed by the Lion King. They are just ordinary soldiers of the Crusaders who lived in this era and were recruited by the Lion King after their defeat.
A few soldiers were unable to block the attack of the three heroic spirits. Lu Xiao didn't even pay attention to them and accelerated through the gap.
Omotata drew his bow to full length and fired arrows in rapid succession, killing all eight soldiers in one breath.
When Lu Xiao broke into the cell, several soldiers holding different torture instruments were hurriedly trying to change their weapons.
"Secret Sword·One Heart!"
The Immortal Slash was suddenly unsheathed, and with such rapid sword skills, Lu Xiao flew past the five soldiers present like the wind.
"Ding~"
When the Immortal Slash was unsheathed, blood spurted from the necks of the stunned soldiers, and they fell to the ground with their eyes losing their luster.
Tied to the wall deep in the cell was a brown-skinned girl with scars all over her body. Her skull mask had long been removed. After days of torture, the girl's spirit and body were very weak.
There were still many corroded torture instruments remaining on the ground in front of her, and some of the torture instruments still had purple-red liquid remaining on them.
'Poisonous blood...?'
Silent Hassan is the embodiment of the "poisonous woman" legend spread around the world. She took the initiative to accept the transformation of the Assassin Order and filled her body with poison, thus becoming one of the Hassan Sabahs in the past.
member.
Ordinary people will be eroded by the poison as long as they touch Jing Ming's body. Her body fluids, mucous membranes, and even her breath contain poison, and people without relevant preparations cannot touch her directly.
This is the reason why Curse Wan made special instructions to Lu Xiao before. If Quiet Hassan had leaked the information, instead of risking poisoning and taking her back to the village for execution, it would be better to give her a happy life on the spot.
Silent Hassan lives up to his name.
Due to her poisonous nature, anyone she comes into contact with will be poisoned. Jing Ming has almost no one she can call a friend.
Over time, Jing Ming's words became less and less, and she gradually became a weirdo who could only perform tasks mechanically. Even after becoming a heroic spirit, her personality did not change much.
Lu Xiao did not untie Jing Ming immediately, but half-crouched in front of Jing Ming, whose eyes were blank, and asked solemnly: "Jing Ming Hassan, I am asking you a question on behalf of Bai Ming and Cursed Wrist Hassan."
"Have you leaked any secret information about the mountain people's village? Based on your answer, I will take different countermeasures according to the entrustment of the Cursed Arms."
"No...no..."
Jing Ming's eyes were a little dull as she was both mentally and physically traumatized, but she still answered Lu Xiao's questions honestly.
"I... didn't... say anything."
"very good."
"Qiang!"
The unsheathed Immortal Slash cut off all the thick chains that locked Jingjing's limbs. Lu Xiao put the index and middle fingers of his left hand together and quickly wrote a rune in mid-air.
The breeze blowing in the cell lifted the silence, and at the same time, the magic induction barrier in the fortress also sounded a sharp alarm.
Lu Xiao was not sure whether his body, which had been strengthened by the third method, had the poison-resistant physique of Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he would not make a hasty attempt in this situation.
Without contact with Silence, the only way to take her away from this fortress is through magic.
Lu Xiao was prepared before writing the runes. While the breeze was dragging the silence, Lu Xiao raised his hand to draw a circle in the cell, opening the portal to the mountainous area.
"Walk!"
Lu Xiao first threw Jing Ming into the portal, and then called on Sanzo and Omotouta to go ahead. As the opener of the portal, Lu Xiao stayed at the end to maintain the stability of the portal.
When Sanzang and Omotouta passed through the portal one after another and met Jing Ming who fell on the ground, Lu Xiao suddenly felt that the space near the portal began to become unstable.
'Space lock? Who did it?'
"Lu Xiao?!"
Sanzang also sensed something unusual, and turned back from the other side of the door to pull Lu Xiao over.
"Don't!"
"Crack!"
Lu Xiao opened Sanzang's hand with a palm. The unstable space passage is very dangerous. If you are not careful, a space fault will be formed. It will be difficult for people who fall into the turbulence of space to find the exit.
"You go first! I will find another way to leave."
The portal that twisted like water waves was no longer usable. Before the portal collapsed, Lu Xiao warned Omotota: "Your Excellency, Omotota, shoot a black signal arrow into the sky. Someone will respond..."
Before Lu Xiao finished speaking, the portal connecting the two places suddenly twisted and dissipated, and the space in the dungeon was completely locked, making it impossible to use any kind of space spells.
Lu Xiao subconsciously turned on the aura blocker, avoided the soldiers who rushed to check, and went up, intending to leave the fortress along the original path.
'My mistake, I didn't expect that there are enemy heroes who are proficient in space magic sitting in this fortress, but... who is it? Is there such a person in the sixth singularity?'
"Haha~"
He arrived at the door of the cell silently. Just when Lu Xiao was about to escape from the fortress, he suddenly heard a proud chuckle, and his sixth sense simultaneously conveyed to him a fatal threat warning.
Not caring about continuing to hide, Lu Xiao subconsciously used the shokuchi footwork to the left.
"clang!"
The huge guillotine blade formed by magic fell from the sky and landed exactly where Lu Xiao was standing. If the reaction speed had been a few tenths of a second later, Lu Xiao would have been cut into two pieces.
When the enemy magician appeared, a strong binding barrier was raised around the fortress, completely sealing the entire fortress.
'Tsk~ It's really not that easy.'
Although Lu Xiao was frightened, he put his hand on the handle of the Immortal Sword and looked at the direction where the laughter had come from before.
A female magician wearing a blue crystal crown and a black veil on her face came into Lu Xiao's eyes.
This woman wore a blue and black robe that exposed her abdomen. The exposed abdomen was printed with strange blood-red magic patterns. Lu Xiao could feel the powerful magic power from the magic patterns.
"Magician, who are you?"
"Hmph~"
The appearance of the female magician's face behind the black veil cannot be clearly seen, but her special temperament, which is clear and proud, mixed with enchantment and charm, is clearly shown.
"Intruder, you don't need to know my name."
The female magician didn't even open her mouth to cast a spell, and she didn't even make a gesture to cast a spell. She simply raised her right hand, and a large number of ice cones suspended in mid-air were condensed in the blazing desert during the day.
"You are destined to be unable to escape from my prison today. The dead don't need to know too much!"
