Chapter 57: Rand can also be a master of interrogating Lysa (sort of)
Although Elsa has mastered most of the professional skills of a thief, compared to poison, smoke bombs and bombs, she prefers stealth, flanking, and assassination.
If thieves really had to be divided into different schools, she would probably be more of a fighting assassin.
The first floor is a marble structure filled with patrolling mechanical guards and traps, but none of these can stop her.
After bypassing all the traps and guards, she arrived in front of the treasure chest.
Crouching in front of the treasure chest is a mechanical guard that is much larger than the other guards.
After all, there must be difficulties in front of the treasure chest, although the style of this treasure chest is out of tune with the surroundings.
Elsa was very hesitant. This treasure chest was too conspicuous here! Wasn't this just fishing?
Damn it, if it was ownerless, Elsa could have just turned around and left.
But then she thought that this might have been placed here deliberately by Rand to tempt her.
All I can say is that I can't help myself when I'm suffering from kleptomania.
…
At this time, Rand was interrogating, with a whip against Lysa's neck: "Tell me, what did you put in the treasure chest?"
Lisa was tied to the wooden cross that she was familiar with. Since she was often tied to it, the wooden thorns on it had been basically worn away by her and had become somewhat smooth.
When Lysa didn't answer, Rand whipped her.
Lisa moaned in her clear voice, but she made no reply.
I have to say that Lisa is quite beautiful. Being tied to the cross with ropes further highlights her curvy figure.
Plus the blindfolded eyes and the bitten lips.
It's quite tempting, but Rand doesn't have much interest in it right now.
Just another whip hit Lisa.
Lisa made another sound, still without any intention of answering.
The skin seemed so delicate and fragile, but even if Rand whipped it hard, it would only leave a red mark.
"If you don't tell me, I won't let you down today!" Rand threatened.
The threat was meaningless. Lysa was like an unyielding warrior, and she sneered at Rand: "I can keep the secret no matter what kind of torture I face."
Rand rolled his eyes. "Of course you can keep a secret. What's the difference between torture and reward for you?" But since he asked Lisa for help again, he had to continue to reward her.
Rand needed something that seemed very valuable as a gimmick for Elsa to find, and originally wanted to borrow it from Ellie and Olenna.
Unfortunately, both Ellie and Olenna only have things that are truly valuable, but nothing that seems to be very valuable.
Finally, it was Lysa who came to help. She threw a small box over, but refused to tell what was inside, saying that she would only tell him after Rand tortured him.
So we have the current scene. Although he trusts that Lisa will not do anything weird, and he will know what it is when Elsa comes out, he still wants to know what is inside.
And since Lisa has contributed, she should be rewarded.
Lisa suddenly broke free from the ropes on her body and turned back to her normal self. She asked in confusion, "Are you worried about something? Why do you look so uninterested?"
Lysa was already quite familiar with Rand. When she invited him to do this kind of thing in the past, although she refused on the surface, she was still very excited when it really started.
But today is not the case. Even if I really want to know the secret that I am talking about, it is like completing a task. I just crack the whip mechanically, without the creativity and soul I had before.
Rand was not surprised to be seen through. The two of them were quite familiar with each other. He knew exactly where to hit Lisa when she spoke.
"Yes, I'm very worried now. Today, a local conflict officially broke out in the Frost Moon Kingdom. I estimate that the escalation of the war is imminent." Rand found a chair and sat down, and said.
Now when he sat down, he would definitely check to see if there was indeed a chair behind him. Before, sitting on Lisa made him so embarrassed that his toes could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
Lisa had no objection to the reward ending here. The reason she was still here was certainly not because of the simple reward.
Now this strange reward was just a change of pace, and she believed in Rand's nature. Sooner or later he would come up with interesting new ideas, so she was not in a hurry at all.
Sitting on another chair in the sacrificial room, she actually wanted to sit on the altar. The height was just right, but Rand never allowed people to stay there.
Rand said it was very dangerous there. Did he stay here just to suppress something?
Lisa was not interested in this. She just lifted one leg and crossed it over the other leg, then said, "Are you worried about Taner and the others?"
Rand nodded. After all, they were all his men, and he was not a heartless general.
Taner and his men will inevitably be involved in this battle, and casualties are inevitable.
Lysa had no intention of comforting Rand. Death and injury were inevitable, and Rand must have known this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Likewise, Lysa believed that Rand could make the things brought about by those sacrifices truly effective.
Simply changing the subject, Lisa blinked and said, "Mr. Pervert, your torture was successful, and now the answer will be revealed."
On the other side, Elsa poked the fallen mechanical guard with a small dagger. She always felt that this guard should have been stronger, but it seemed clumsy when facing her.
After confirming that the guard was unable to move, Elsa took out a long stick made of unknown material that she had picked up from the roadside and poked the exquisite-looking wooden treasure chest.
There was no movement.
At least it can be confirmed that it is not a treasure chest monster.
Without further delay, Elsa walked over to the small treasure chest, which was unlocked.
This made her feel relieved. Apart from her stealing skills, her second worst skill was lock picking. Now it seemed that she didn't have to use her omnipotent hands to gamble on the probability.
Gently push open the treasure chest, and the surrounding area is immediately filled with overflowing golden light.
A pure golden seed, emitting light and shining brightly in the dim marble room.
Even without getting close, you can feel the vitality hidden in this seed, as if all the vitality of the world is gathered in it.
Elsa slammed the cover of the treasure chest to block out the dazzling golden light, then looked around vigilantly. After making sure that no one was watching, she put the treasure chest in her backpack.
This thing cannot be revealed. If it is seen by colleagues, there is a high chance that those adventurers, whose moral standards vary to begin with, will try to snatch it.
Walking back to the Adventurer's Resort, Elsa stepped carefully. She knew very well that since this route map was placed there intentionally by Rand, and this treasure chest was also placed there intentionally by Rand, then something must happen here next.
It can't all be a coincidence, right?
At this time, the holiday villa was already crowded with people coming and going, and even people from the Adventurer's Association came to investigate and wanted to set up a branch here.
Some adventurers have already set out to explore the ruins.
There are still many who are still preparing and watching.
Elsa did not try to escape directly through the mountain road. Although she had a serious kleptomania, there was nothing wrong with her brain. If she ran away directly, the elf of unknown strength and the obviously top-level swordsman would definitely appear in front of her somewhere.
