Chapter 209: Torture

After returning to Base 27, Cole was taken away by Kane and greeted individually.

This was the first intermediate spellcaster captured by Base 27, and his value needed to be carefully and patiently explored.

When Cole entered Base 27, he was shocked.

When he saw Parker, he felt the powerful magic aura on Parker, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Cole has traveled around the world in recent years and knows that the Kingdom of Norn can only be regarded as a very remote kingdom in the Elf Plane.

There are not many spellcasters here, and there are few powerful spellcasters.

A magician like Severus is already a ceiling-level combat force in the Kingdom of Norn.

Cole has traveled to many places in recent years, gained a lot of knowledge, and has a deeper understanding of this world.

The more he sees, the more humble he becomes. His talent is really nothing.

Cole never thought that there would be so many powerful spellcasters in the uninhabited place of the Lim Mountains.

There are magicians and great magicians. What are they doing here?

Cole thought about this question. Due to the language barrier, Cole could not get effective information from their conversation.

"What language is this?"

Cole was a little confused. He had been to many places and had never heard this language.

He never thought that Herag and others came from other planes.

He just guessed in his heart that they might be spellcasters from a very far distance, gathering here for unknown reasons.

Cole could not think of the purpose of these people. It was definitely impossible to seize the Norn Kingdom.

These people had the strength to seize a kingdom casually, but they were still hiding in the Lim Mountains. They must have other purposes.

But with Cole's knowledge, he still had not come into contact with the level of plane war, so he did not think about it.

This made the behavior of these people at Base 27 look very strange to Cole.

You guys are so strong, why do you hide in a mountain range.

There didn't seem to be any high-value resources around.

Cole saw several female adventurers in Base 27, and the other party was also looking at him.

He understood at this time that the adventurers who disappeared into the mountains were either dead or captured.

Cole also knew that he would definitely not be able to go back.

…

After Herag returned to his cabin, Asuna quickly came over, changed his clothes for him, and made coffee.

Herag was thinking about some issues. The task he faced on patrol this time was already at the level of liquefied wizards.

The next time, the enemy he faced might be stronger.

If it was a crystallized wizard next time, he could still handle it.

But if it was a stronger second-level or third-level wizard, he might have to consider whether he could have a chance to go back and report the news.

After five months of peace, the remaining seven months did not look so good.

After Herag sat down, he took a sip of the coffee poured by Asuna.

The aroma of coffee floated in the house, and the bonfire reflected Herag's face, adding some warmth.

There was a row of wooden racks at the innermost part of the cabin, with many clothes hanging on them.

There were Herag's and Asuna's.

There were also some black and white stockings hanging on them, which were originally placed in Herag's space ring.

I bought a lot of clothes for Shalltear before, and these are the leftovers, just right for Asuna to wear.

Asuna was a little shy after receiving them, but she still washed all the clothes carefully and hung them there to dry.

When she was free, she put them on the campfire to dry.

Since she didn't dare to go out, it was impossible to hang the clothes outside.

What's more, many clothes were close-fitting, and Asuna was embarrassed to take them out to hang.

Asuna was wearing a pair of over-the-knee black stockings, standing aside waiting for Herag's instructions.

"Come sit here." Herag patted the seat next to him.

Asuna came over and sat down honestly.

Herag rested his head on Asuna's thighs, feeling the tenderness of the girl's skin.

He closed his eyes and rested for a while, thinking about the subsequent arrangements in his mind.

Asuna didn't move, and the girl's breath fell on Herag's face.

"Does it still hurt?" Herag asked.

Asuna was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red: "Still... still a little..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, as thin as a mosquito.

Herag closed his eyes and said: "Then have a good rest tonight."

Of course, rest is rest, but hands are still not idle.

"Hmm~"

...

Base 27, basement.

In addition to the buildings on the ground, Base 27 has a full seven floors underground.

Herag had never gone down before, and entering the basement requires some permissions.

At this time, in a torture room.

Kole was tied to a cross, and the whole person was tied to the cross with a special magic-forbidden iron chain.

"I ask questions, you answer. Silence is useless. If I use spells to ask, it will cause some damage to your mind. You are an excellent mid-level spellcaster with high research value, so I don't want to damage your research material."

Parker said while sitting on a chair.

Kole had been silent all the time, and finally spoke: "Who are you?"

This is a point he has always been very confused about.

"We are a group of people who pursue the truth," Parker laughed.

"Truth? Are you from a certain church?" Cole thought the other party was a believer of a certain church.

Judging from the behavior of Parker and others, it is indeed a bit like that.

Parker shook his head: "No, we wizards do not believe in gods."

"Wizard?" Cole heard this term for the first time.

"We are similar to your spellcasters, but the power system is slightly different." Parker explained.

"Why have I never heard of it?" Cole asked in confusion.

Parker took out a pair of scissors: "You don't need to know these, there are too many things you haven't heard of. Next, I ask questions and you answer them. If you don't answer them or let me find out that you are lying, I will cut off an organ or part of your body."

Parker waved the scissors in his hand, making a clicking sound, and the scissors flashed with a cold light.

Cole's mind turned quickly, and he couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was.

Wizard?

He believed that even Teacher Severus had never heard of this term.

Which side of the power did this belong to?

But he didn't have time to think about it, because Parker's question had already come.

...

Half a month later, Oberstein border camp.

Tyron paced back and forth anxiously, and turned around to ask, "Is Mr. Cole not back yet?"

The herald lowered his head and said, "During this period, we have sent people to watch outside the Lim Mountains, but there has been no movement inside, and no one has come out. Could it be that Mr. Cole..."
