“What happened when the mining area collapsed, you can say it again carefully.”
Anna nodded and began to narrate.
Roland was a little surprised.
He thought that the other party would be silent, complain, or curse, but she just responded to her own question and said whatever she asked.
The story is not too complicated. Anna’s father was a miner and was working in the mine when he collapsed. Anna, who received the news, immediately entered the mine to rescue with the families of other miners. According to legend, the Beipo mining area used to be a nest of underground monsters, with many fork roads extending in all directions. Because the rescuers did not have a unified command, they scattered around and searched for themselves after entering the cave. When Anna found her father, her neighbors Aunt Susan and Uncle Angke were only present.
She found that her father was crushed by a cart full of ore and his leg was broken and he couldn’t move, while a famous miner was squatting and searching for the coins on his body. Seeing that he was smashed into the robbery, the miner rushed up with a **** and knocked Uncle Angke to the ground. Just as he was about to kill him, Anna killed him first.
The couple next door vowed not to tell her story, and the three rescued Anna’s father together. But before dawn the next day, Anna’s father went out on crutches and reported that his daughter was a witch to the guards.
“Why?” Roland couldn’t help but turn his head to ask.
Barov sighed, “Probably for the bounty. If you find and report the witch, you can get 25 golden dragons. For a person who breaks his leg, these 25 golden dragons are equivalent to the protection of the rest of his life. “
Roland was silent for a moment, “The other party is a strong and powerful adult man, how did you kill him?”
Just then, Anna smiled. It was like waves on the surface of the lake, and the tip of the torch shook.
“It’s what you call the power of the devil.”
“Shut up! Demon girl!” The warden shouted, but anyone could hear the trembling in his voice.
“Really? I want to see.” The fourth prince was unmoved.
“Your Highness, this is not a joke!” The chief knight turned his head and frowned.
Roland walked out from behind the knight and stepped into the cage step by step, “If you are afraid, you can leave first. I didn’t ask you to stay here.”
”Don’t panic, she still wears a lock of divine punishment on her neck!” Barrow’s high voice comforted everyone, as if comforting himself, “No matter how strong the devil is, it is impossible to break the blessing of God.”
Roland and Anna standing in front of the prison railing were only one arm away, and he could clearly see each other’s cheeks covered with dust and scars. The immature facial features mean that she is not an adult, but her expression cannot capture a trace of childishness. More than that, even anger is hard to find—this kind of incongruous feeling Roland has only seen on TV. That’s what the homeless orphans who have suffered from poverty, hunger, cold and other hardships showed when they were interviewed. But it’s not exactly the same. When facing the camera, the wandering orphan always crouched and lowered his head, but Anna did not.
Until now, she still tried to stand up straight, her eyes slightly raised, and she looked straight into the prince’s eyes calmly.
She was not afraid of death, Roland realized that she was waiting for death.
”Is it the first time to see a witch, my lord? Your curiosity may kill yourself.”
”If it is the power of the devil, you will encounter misfortune at a glance,” Roland replied, “Then it should not be me who died, but your father.”
The flames of the cage suddenly dimmed. This time it was definitely not an illusion. The flame seemed to be suppressed by something, and soon only a small cluster remained. He heard rapid breathing and the sound of prayer behind him, and the muffled noise of someone accidentally falling down when they backed away in a panic.
Roland’s heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he felt that he was at a wonderful point of demarcation. On one side was the world of common sense, operating meticulously in accordance with the planned constants and laws. On the other side is the incredible world, which is full of mystery and unknown. He is now standing at the gate of this new world.
Is the lock of God’s punishment hanging around her neck? What a simple chain, a piece of red-painted iron chain dangles a crystal-clear pendant. If the witch’s hands are not handcuffed firmly behind his back, this kind of thing can be destroyed by pulling it?
Roland glanced back at everyone, while everyone was still praying, he quickly reached into the cage, grabbed the sinker and pulled it forcefully, and the clip of the sinker and the chain broke with the sound-even Anna was stunned by this move. .
“Come on,” he whispered. Are you a liar, a chemist, or a real witch?
If you take out the bottles and cans now and start to configure the strong acid, I will be disappointed. He thought to himself.
Then Roland heard a crackling sound, which was the sound of water vapor being heated and expanding—white mist rose from the ground, and the surrounding air temperature rose sharply.
He saw flames rising from under the opponent’s feet, gently pounding the girl’s bare legs, and then the ground on which she was standing burned. The torches behind him exploded at the same time, as if they had obtained pure oxygen, bursting out with a dazzling light. The entire cell was shaped like daylight for a while, and everyone screamed in horror.
The witch stepped forward, and the flames followed her pace. When she came to the prison, dozens of iron railings turned into pillars of fire.
Roland had to step back, the hot air biting his skin, making him painful. In just a few breaths, he seemed to have returned to midsummer from late autumn. No, unlike the intense heat of summer, the high temperature generated by flames alone cannot surround him in all directions. The side facing the flames was rolling in with heat, while the side facing the back was very chilly. He even felt like he was in a cold sweat~IndoMTL.com~ She is not afraid of flames.
Roland remembered the words of the assistant minister. Only now did he deeply understand the meaning of this sentence.
She is a flame, how can she be afraid of herself?
Soon, the iron railing changed from dark red to bright yellow, and began to melt and deform. This means that they have been heated to more than 1,500 Baidu. This step can be achieved without any thermal insulation measures, which is far beyond Roland’s imagination. He was far away from the cell like everyone else, clinging to the stone wall at the farthest distance.
If you don’t do this, the high heat generated by the molten iron can make your clothes burn even if you don’t directly touch it. For example, Anna, her prison uniform has already turned to ashes and her body is surrounded by raging fire.
I don’t know how long it lasted before the flames all faded.
Only a small section of torches burned quietly on the wall, as if nothing had happened. But the sweaty clothes, the hot air, and the prison railings that were burned like the devil’s minions all told everyone that this was not a dream.
Except for Roland and the knight, everyone else has collapsed to the ground. Among them, the warden peeed his pants in fright.
Naked Anna is standing outside the cage at the moment, the shackles that trapped her arms are gone. She did not cover her body, her hands naturally hung on her side, and the lake-blue eyes returned to their previous tranquility.
“I satisfied your curiosity, my lord,” she said, “Can you kill me now?”
“No,” Roland walked forward, wrapped his coat around her, and said in as gentle a tone as possible, “Miss Anna, I want to hire you~ IndoMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read , The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~IndoMTL.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read it.
