Chapter 14 Interrogation of Ms. Anne
Everything that happened today made Ron, the butler of Red Leaf Castle who was already in his fifties, exclaim in disbelief.
A few days ago, the Baron's eldest son, Ryan Hall, brought a wizard who could cast spells and seized control of Red Leaf Castle from Baron Red Leaf.
But Ryan Hall had not been arrogant for a few days when the familiar face from his youth returned.
He also defeated Ryan Hall with a thunderous force and regained control of Red Leaf Castle.
"Lei, Master Rest! Welcome back!"
Ron, the castle steward, now with white hair, choked up and called out the name he had almost forgotten.
Walking out of his second brother's room, Lu Feng saw the butler Ron. There was a hint of familiarity on his old face.
"Are you Ron? The Ron who was afraid of riding a horse and didn't dare to accompany me to the pub!"
The wizard had a very good memory, and Lu Feng quickly recalled the identity of the person in front of him from the depths of his memory.
Ron's father was the steward of the previous generation of Red Leaf Castle.
Ron is two years younger than Lu Feng and they have been good friends since childhood.
Before going to Trudo Continent to study, Lu Feng was a famous noble young master in Hongye Town, proficient in eating, drinking, having fun, swordsmanship and riding.
He is the leader among his peers in Red Leaf Castle.
I thought my eldest brother had passed away, my second brother was also seriously ill, and most of his young peers had already passed away.
Lu Feng didn't expect that he would meet his brothers from his youth here.
"Ron, I just came back today. Please help me find a place to live. From now on, I plan to settle down in Hongye Town and never run away again. At my age, I am also ready to spend my old age in my hometown!"
Knowing that Ron inherited his father's position as steward of Red Leaf Castle, Lu Feng was no longer polite to Ron and took Ron aside to talk.
"Master Lester, what kind of accommodation do you need?"
Lu Feng was very easy-going towards his old friend, but Ron was very reserved and used honorifics when speaking.
Lu Feng felt that an invisible barrier had appeared between the two of them, and he felt like there was no way back.
Lu Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
No matter how passionate the emotions are, they will become cold after more than thirty years.
After all, he and he are no longer the young men they used to be!
After explaining the requirements for accommodation to the butler Ron, Ron quickly thought of a suitable place.
"Master Rest, the Kane Manor by the Red Leaf Lake is more suitable for you. It has a large space, is far away from the residential area, and has a road leading to the town."
After listening to Ron's description, Lu Feng nodded with satisfaction and decided to take the Kane Manor.
His identity as a wizard meant that Lu Feng was not suitable to live in Red Leaf Castle.
Even if Lu Feng actively restrains the life field and lives in one place for a long time, the power of the life field will escape during daily practice and life, often affecting the surrounding environment and creating some strange phenomena and creatures.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Lu Feng simply stayed away from Red Leaf Castle.
Ron responded to Lu Feng's request and immediately went to make arrangements and clean up Kane Manor.
After separating from the butler Ron, Lu Feng returned to the observation deck at the castle gate. "Ms. Anne", who was bound by his "bloodthirsty magic vine", was still on the observation deck.
Even though Lady Anne was bound by vines, Houston did not have the courage to deal with Lady Anne under the black robe when he was dealing with his eldest brother's soldiers.
In the howling cold wind on the lookout tower, Ms. Anne's mind was torn between running away and staying where she was.
The complicated psychological state continued until Lu Feng finished his second brother's simple treatment and slowly walked to the observation deck.
Annie felt exhausted from the tormenting ideological struggle. Only when she saw Lu Feng's tall figure appear in her sight did she relax as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
As Anne relaxed, her legs went limp and she fell backwards, until she reached the wall of the lookout tower, where she was able to steady herself.
Lu Feng saw this scene and couldn't help but frown.
This girl named Annie is too weak!
"I've dealt with my business, now let's talk about your business! Do you want to die or live?"
The "wizard" in front of him seemed pitifully weak, and Lu Feng was too lazy to play any tricks on her, so he asked directly.
Listening to Lu Feng's emotionless words, Annie felt a chill in her heart under the black robe.
A feeling of powerlessness, as if her life was not in her own hands and was being held in the hands of others, came over her, reminding her of the dark underground secret room.
Suddenly, Anne in the black robe knelt on the ground, trembling all over and begging for mercy: "Master Wizard, please let me go, I want to live!"
Annie's psychological defenses were broken, and then Lu Feng quickly dug out the information he wanted to know from her.
Annie, as Lu Feng thought, was not a wizard apprentice who had received orthodox wizard education, but a miserable wizard experiment.
She was originally a commoner in a baron's territory in the Principality of Distan. One day, a group of bandits attacked the baron's territory. The baron's army was defeated and had to hide in the castle to survive, while the commoners under the baron's command were in great trouble.
The bandits burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil in the baron's territory. Anne's parents died at the hands of the bandits, and she and a group of children were abducted by the bandits.
When she finally woke up, she was imprisoned in a dark secret room, with the roars of monsters and endless wails of despair filling her ears.
In endless fear, Annie was taken into a room by an old man and tied to a cold laboratory table.
After suffering inhuman torture, Annie survived with difficulty and unexpectedly gained the ability to control black flames.
With the help of the power of the black flame, Annie endured the humiliation and finally found an opportunity. She used the black flame to burn the old man who was conducting experiments on her to death and escaped from the dark secret room.
However, what made Anne even more desperate was that after seeing the light of day again, she fled into a village, but was called a monster and driven out by the villagers.
Lifting off Annie's black robe, Lu Feng saw Annie's true appearance. Her petite face was covered with dense black snake scales, and her pupils were similar to the vertical pupils of snakes.
"This is a typical blood transformation experiment. It seems that you have met a dark wizard apprentice who studies the way of blood. In order to survive, these dark wizard apprentices have fallen. They really have no humanity at all!"
After taking a few glances, Lu Feng guessed what happened to Annie.
He had encountered many such things when he was studying at the [Botanical Garden] on the Trudeau Continent.
[Botanical Garden] is a famous white wizard organization on the Trudo continent. Its daily activities also include operations to eliminate black wizards.
Lu Feng also participated in some of the activities for the magic stone.
He also personally helped and dealt with some unfortunate people like Anne who were persecuted by dark wizards who studied the way of blood.
