Chapter 0997 Female Prisoner Lena
Black Mountain City.
This is a majestic city built on the mountain.
All the buildings in the city are made of black steel rock, a local specialty. The surface is dark and dull, but it is harder than steel. Black walls, black buildings, black castles, the whole Black Mountain City is as cold and hard as the character of the mountain people here.
The mountain natives near Black Mountain City are all simple and hardworking, but they become extremely fierce and brave in the harsh living environment. They usually go to the fields to farm, and the harvested food is just enough to fill their stomachs. During the farming break, they go into the mountains in groups to hunt, and the hunted prey becomes the main source of meat for the mountain people.
It is this strange life of half farming and half hunting that has tempered the mountain people's strong physique and brave fighting spirit. The mountain people who walked out of here are all the best human warriors, and have become the most popular group in the imperial army.
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 and impenetrable fortress. Therefore, the buildings in the city hardly have the soft and luxurious atmosphere of other regions. 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 side of the Black Mountain Castle.
There is not only a wide internal space, but also a good open view. On the top floor of the tower, there are huge open narrow windows on all four walls. Because there are no wooden windows to block it, the howling mountain wind can rush into the hall freely, sweep away all the unfixed items inside, and then slip away from the window on the other side.
Of course, they also take away the last bit of warmth!
At night, the hall on the upper floor of the tower is extremely cold. Even if the strong mountain people do not have enough warm clothes, a night is enough to freeze them half to death.
However, at this moment, the disheveled and ragged Reina is shivering on the cold floor in the middle of the hall, with her head buried between her knees, and her thin and shriveled body trembling slightly. Whenever she tried to move herself, the cold and hard alloy shackles on her feet would make strange rattling sounds.
The alloy shackles were tied to a silver chain as thick as an arm. The chain was winding and passed through a small hole in the middle of the floor and went deep into the building below. If the chain was tightened, it would be found that the distance was just enough for Reina to walk to the stone window of the hall.
In addition to the alloy shackles, Reina also had an iron mask on her face to prevent her from spitting out the pebbles in her mouth. And Reina also had a pair of fingerless iron gloves on her wrists. The countless cold and sharp iron spikes in the iron gloves had pierced into her flesh and blood. If Reina moved a little more, the iron spikes would tear the wound and flow out purple-black blood.
In such an open and cold place, Reina had only a black robe that was so tattered that she couldn't look directly at it. 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 extraordinary strong physique.
Although Reina is not a body-refining wizard, she has 11 points of physical fitness after being promoted to level 2.
This makes her body look inconspicuous, but it has a strong vitality and recovery ability that is not inferior to the jungle beast. With the torture and harsh treatment she has suffered, other weak women would have died countless times long ago. But Reina's appearance is a little miserable, and the fire of life in her thin body is still burning hot, and she is particularly charming.
There has never been a moment when Reina is so eager for power and authority!
There is a cluster of fire burning in her chest, burning her soul day and night.
In the past, relying on her mother's power, she enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world, and enjoyed all the wine and beautiful men. Her life has never been more decadent and extravagant. However, at this moment, the cause and effect of the past have become the sins that are weighing on her at this moment.
In order to survive and to survive, she did so many things to betray her witch sisters.
But five years had passed, and the expected reinforcements had not yet arrived, and her spirit and mood had been completely desperate.
She knew that her wizard talent was not good, and it was her mother who consumed a huge amount of resources to barely stack her to the second level. However, her luck was really good. She unexpectedly became pregnant at an unobstructed party and gave birth to Xue Fu, who had a good ice and snow talent.
And Reina, who thought she had completed her historical mission, became more and more dissolute and extravagant. She went in and out of various extravagant banquets every day, and was surrounded by all kinds of handsome and strong men every day. Even her witchcraft ability, which she relied on for survival, degenerated to a terrible level.
Otherwise, with the power of a second-level witch, how could she be so easily captured alive by the natives of the plane!
However, when she was miserable and hurting herself, Reina suddenly raised her head, and her purple eyes looked through the tall and narrow stone window to the sky above Black Mountain City.
Although her body was severely shackled, her elemental perception ability far beyond that of ordinary people was still there.
Just now, she suddenly sensed a faint strange wind element condensation point appeared above Black Mountain City, and it was still slowly cruising.
Is it a naturally formed wind hole, or...
Reina got up from the ground without hesitation, not caring about the spiked hand and foot shackles on her body that were bleeding, and rushed to the narrow window, staring at the empty sky in the distance.
The silver chain pulled by Reina's violent movement made a rattling sound, which also attracted the attention of the paladin guarding her below.
With the strange sound of iron shoes stepping on the stone steps, a black iron knight and three armored guards walked into the hall along the spiral stone stairs in the corner of the hall.
Seeing Rena clinging to the narrow window stone platform with both hands, the silver chain behind her broke straight, and black blood flowed quickly 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 Rena with unconcealed hatred and disgust, and shouted loudly. The three armored guards following him took out the long whip wrapped with iron wire from their waists, and whipped Rena's skinny back with a whistle.
Ah...
The long whip whistled, and the whip flower rolled and swung, tearing Rena's black robe, leaving a long whip mark on her back covered with mud.
Rena held the narrow window stone edge tightly with both hands, raised her neck and let out a scream that tore the sky.
Because the scream was imbued with a trace of spiritual power, it penetrated the hall and lingered around the tower for a long time before slowly dissipating.
In Reina's spiritual perception, the strange wind element gathering point floating in the sky seemed to sense her scream and began to slowly cruise towards the sky above the tower.
It was not formed naturally, but was controlled by someone...
The three armored guards saw that Reina was not moved by the whip, and they pulled the silver chain tightly and pulled her away from the narrow window. Under the stalemate of the two sides, the spikes of the hand and foot shackles deeply sank into the flesh and blood, cutting Reina's bones with a rattling sound.
However, at this moment, Reina's spirit had obviously fallen into some kind of abnormal excitement, and she could not feel the pain in her body at all. She lay on the floor like an epileptic patient, with her muscles twitching abnormally.
The three guards rushed up, and the long whips in their hands fell on Reina like raindrops, whipping her into a bloody mess, and blood splashed.
"Stay here and confess your sins. Your meal today has been cancelled... If you dare to go crazy again, you won't have tomorrow's meal!"
The young paladins selected by the Holy Light Chapel to guard Reina are all guys who hate witches very much, or have been persecuted by witches, or someone in their family died in the witch rebellion. Only such guys will ignore the witch Reina's charm skills and faithfully complete the task.
As for the little flesh damage Reina suffered, it is nothing at all. It can be healed again in one night. And this is exactly what the paladins are most afraid of and envious of!
After severely punishing Reina, 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. Even with the physique of the Black Iron Knights, they can't withstand the fierce mountain wind. Therefore, on weekdays, the paladins and guards who are on duty are stationed in the tower below. Only when Reina makes trouble will they run up to punish her.
As for escaping... Reina, whose magic power had been eroded, was just a witch with a slightly stronger physique. She was completely unable to remove the spiked hand and foot shackles and mask made of special metal, so there was no possibility of escaping.
When the tower hall became quiet again, with only the whistling sound of the fierce wind passing through, the strange wind element gathering point had floated outside the hall, and it was about to enter through the window.
"Don't come in!" Reina barely supported her body from the floor and communicated with mental secrets: "There is a holy light array hidden under the floor of the hall. Any condensation of elemental power will trigger an alarm..."
The invisible and intangible 'wind' seemed to understand Reina's warning and condensed in the void outside the window.
"Who are you? Tess or Itariel?" Reina asked with a sad face.
She also heard a little about the experience of the witch sisters.
After all, when the paladins wanted to torture some of the witches' internal secrets, they would inevitably reveal to her the current situation of some of the witch remnants. And she naturally knew that the reason why the Paladins brought her to Black Mountain City was to capture the last two powerful Level 3 witches.
"Hehe, Lord Reina, long time no see!"
What Reina didn't expect was that the spiritual secret message transmitted from the strange wind spirit was actually a male voice. And the familiar voice and tone also made Reina overjoyed.
"Grimm... You are... Lord Grimm..."
