After entering the city, Celestia, accompanied by the knights sent by the king, first visited the lord, Earl Lawrence.
After stating their purpose, Earl Lawrence took them to the dungeon to see the captured war slave.
She was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with purple hair. Her eyes were empty and she was motionless like a dead object.
Earl Lawrence said that she had refused to eat since she was captured, and if she had not been force-fed some nutrient solution, she would have starved to death.
Celtia first observed the slave shackles around the man's neck, then after a moment's hesitation, she said, "This slave shackle looks similar to the slave shackles of the Kingdom of Nie."
The Kingdom of Nieu was the loser in the Second War of the Kingdom of Gods.
The final winner of the second war between the kingdoms of God, the Bruviman Empire, is located to the west of the Kingdom of Orrantia, and the two countries share a large area of borders.
"It's them." Earl Lawrence snorted coldly. He had long suspected these people who came to the Kingdom of Orrantia to create war slaves.
"The Bruviman Empire uses the blood of enslaved royal families to transform people from other countries into slaves. Such evil behavior is against heaven and earth. The Glorious Church must punish it severely!" Lawrence said gritting his teeth.
Celia did not respond to Lawrence's request. She said, "It's not enough to prove that this was done by the Bruviman Empire. We need more evidence."
"Did she confess anything?" She looked at the purple-haired girl tied to the iron chair. From the whipping wounds on her body, it could be seen that she had been tortured.
"She didn't say a word." Earl Lawrence said helplessly.
No matter how severely the torture was carried out, the woman remained silent.
Celestia placed her hand on the purple-haired girl's forehead and asked questions, trying to read her emotional fluctuations.
But it turned out that this woman's emotions were as stagnant as a pool of water.
Keltia could only try to find another clue. She asked, "Who discovered her?"
"It's an adventurer named Victor." Lawrence said.
"Please take me to see him."
……
Wim's backyard.
Ding!
Ron swung his knife with a strong wind towards Wim's shoulder, but the other party flashed and spun away, his boots scraping against the grass.
Wim pointed the wooden sword at Ron's elbow.
Amid the clanging of metal, Ron blocked with his sword, and his wrist bones were immediately numbed by the powerful force.
"You can't win by brute force."
Wim was calm and composed. He turned the blade and picked up a large number of fallen leaves on the ground.
His vision was obstructed, and Ron squinted to avoid the flying leaves. Just as he was about to step back to avoid the attack, a flash of a knife suddenly appeared in front of him.
In the moment he was distracted, the tip of Wim's knife was against his throat.
"Lost again." Ron wiped the sweat off his forehead, and swayed his long sword at his side.
This was the second day that he had been learning the Lightning Flash technique. Wim personally tested the knife on him, but he still couldn't get the hang of it.
Wim smiled, sheathed his knife, and said, "With your talent, it's already quite impressive to be able to do this. Work on your speed tomorrow, and I won't hold back any more."
"Please show some mercy." Ron said with a bitter face, like a child acting like a spoiled child to his elders.
Wim benefited greatly from this. After spending a few days together, he looked at Ron with more affection. In his eyes, the dull Ron was like his own silly son.
Little did he know that the so-called stupid son in his eyes was just trying to defraud the minimum living allowance.
Ron, who used to be a volunteer in a nursing home, has a lot of experience in pleasing these lonely elderly people.
If he had enough time to show his abilities, he would be confident that he could squeeze out Janna and win the favor of old man Wim alone.
In the stone pavilion, Janna, who was pouring tea for Ron, couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked concernedly.
Janna looked around but couldn't find the source of the malice.
She shook her head and said she was fine.
After pouring the tea and putting down the teapot, she looked at Ron's face, then suddenly reached out and gently wiped the grass debris off his cheek with her fingertips.
"Thank you." Ron smiled and reached out to touch her head.
The little girl lowered her head shyly and let him touch her.
I always feel that this little girl regards herself as her father.
After a short rest.
Ron continued practicing.
The years are quiet and time passes slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, Janna came to the yard and shouted, "Mr. Victor, someone wants to see you."
Chapter 36 The Demons Attack
……
"Mr. Victor, this is Lady Keltia of the Radiant Church. She's here to inquire about the Slavery Potion."
In the living room, Ron and Celia sat opposite each other.
The guard from the lord's mansion next to him introduced Celia's identity to Ron.
"Nice to meet you, Lady Celestia." Ron said with a smile, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Why is it this woman again?
The ghost lingers.
He had expected that the Holy See of Light would send someone to investigate the war slaves, but he never thought it would be Celia.
This woman has made so many mistakes recently, and the Glorious Church still dares to let her come.
Is the bishop your father?
"Mr. Victor, I heard that you cured those children. Could you please tell me how you did it?" Celtia asked.
She had heard of Victor's heroic deeds in Kassel, and her tone was filled with due respect.
"Earl Lawrence should know about this." Ron didn't want to say more.
He understood that Celtia wanted to trace the source of the slavery potion by using the prescription to remove it.
In his heart, he also supported the Glorious Church in uncovering the mastermind behind the scenes.
But he couldn't reveal the recipe now. As for the ingredient "royal blood", he was afraid that he would be caught before the mastermind behind the slavery potion was caught.
If you talk too much, you'll be exposed.
Transformation is only a third-level skill and cannot withstand in-depth scrutiny. If Celia is still level 80, she is fully capable of seeing through his disguise at a glance.
Fortunately, Gray Mist tricked Celia.
Now if Celtia wants to discover his identity, she must at least tie him up and examine him.
But he is now a highly respected adventurer. Does Celtia dare?
Celia didn't dare, and she would not associate the highly respected Victor with the sinister and cunning Ron.
"Earl Lawrence showed me the herbs you asked him to prepare. They are not enough to remove the shackles of slavery." said Celia.
"Lady Celtia, you're joking. How could I have the ability to remove the slavery shackles? I just used some herbs to dilute the effect of the slavery potion before those children were completely infected by the slavery shackles." Ron explained.
Celia was silent. If Ron insisted that the prescription contained only those few herbs, then there was nothing she could do.
"Mr. Victor, I know that the prescription is very precious. If you have any requests, please let me know." said the guard on the side.
The components of the slavery potion analyzed did not reveal the bloodline of the slave royal family. If they wanted to trace the source, they could only hope that Ron could provide useful clues.
After all, the principle of a doctor's treatment is to first know the root cause of the disease before prescribing medicine.
"Can you bear to see more children being murdered?"
Konoe played the emotional card and tried to use moral blackmail.
For people of high moral character, the lethality of this move can be said to be immediate.
But unfortunately, Ron has low morals.
Ron pretended to be deep and silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I can give you the prescription for free, but I can't tell you now."
Seeing that Ron looked like he had something to hide, Celia knew in her heart that this man must know something about the source of the slavery potion.
"How long do we have to wait?" she asked.
"In ten days, I will tell you the truth about the slavery potion." Ron said after thinking seriously, his expression looking like he had made a huge concession.
Ten days is not too long.
"Then I will come back to visit you in ten days."
Celia stood up, bowed slightly as a farewell gesture, and turned to leave.
After watching Celia leave, Ron calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Just wait and see.
The demons will attack us in less than ten days.
When Orrantia is completely conquered, it will be a good opportunity for him to restore his country.
Celia's arrival had no impact on his plan to restore his country.
……
After that, Ron devoted himself to the training of fourth-level martial arts.
Time passes slowly.
On the fourth day after Celtia arrived in Kassel, good news came from the front. Princess Kaelina completed the formation arrangement of each fortress, and in the battle with the Third Legion of Demons in the City of Dawn, she successfully restrained the eternal illusion of the great demon Lilith and severely damaged her.
The Kingdom of Orrantia took advantage of the situation and sounded the clarion call for a counterattack.
However, two days later, news came back of a disastrous defeat.
