Because of the limited amount of spiritual power of a wizard apprentice, it cannot leave the body. Only when it reaches a high level can it extend to things that can be touched by the body. Therefore, the fighting power of a wizard apprentice is pitifully low.
However, wizards' focus is not on the physical body and combat, so it is normal for junior and intermediate apprentices to have no combat power.
The wizard's focus is on understanding nature and discovering its laws, and fighting is just a byproduct.
After thinking about these things, Dolai relaxed and began to pack up his tools. After everything was ready, breakfast began.
Butler Halley was not here this morning. Dole and the others had dinner and went about their work. These tasks had been assigned yesterday.
…
A team of detectives and city guards stormed into the blacksmith shop from the door, led by Sheriff Dis, who was also the person in charge of this area. He glanced at all the blacksmiths, then looked at Dole who was helping Virak.
He pointed at Dolai and said expressionlessly, "Catch him."
Everyone in the blacksmith shop stopped their work immediately, not knowing what had happened. Virak even blocked the entrance to the forge and shouted, "Mr. Sheriff, please wait a moment. If you have anything to say, wait until our Harley comes back."
The detectives and city guards ignored Virak's obstruction and came from all directions to surround Dolai.
Dole had no idea what was going on at this time. This must be someone hired by Oddo and his son. They wanted to kill him. When he saw the sheriff and Ferrer, his heart sank.
He shouted loudly, "Excuse me, Mr. Sheriff, what have I done wrong?"
Dis snorted coldly and said, "You are suspected of injuring and maiming others. This is enough to be called a crime. Okay, stop talking and take me away."
Dolai suddenly became anxious. What if he was caught? He immediately rushed out and went away.
Once you enter the police station, whatever they say is true. This is a bloody fact summed up by countless people.
However, his hiding was in vain, as he was soon surrounded by four or five detectives in a small circle.
A detective punched him on the head, but Dole tilted his head and hit his shoulder, causing him to stagger. Then the others rushed forward, grabbing his arms and pressing his legs, and soon subdued Dole and handcuffed him.
All the surrounding blacksmiths gathered around at this time, surrounding the detective and the city guards. They knew Ferrer, after all, it was not his first time here, and this guy came to cause trouble for Dolai.
Since Brother Ha was not around and there was no one in charge, they could only express their protest in this way. They knew Dis, who was the person in charge of the security in this area and also a detective with extraordinary skills. They only dared to surround them and did not dare to go too far.
Dis snorted coldly and pushed away the two first-level blacksmiths who were blocking his way.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? We are just performing our duties. If this kid is fine, we will release him. What are you afraid of?"
The blacksmiths wanted to say something, but facing Diss, they clearly lacked confidence.
They still have to make a living here, and it would be irrational to offend Dis.
The salesman Perry was also panicking at this time. Seeing this situation, he immediately ran out to find Harley the manager.
Dole was quickly taken away.
…
The police station is located in the city center, right next to the city government building. There is a separate office area and a five-story building. The basement of the police station is the prison, where various criminals are detained. Enter the first floor, then the basement, and walk in through the door, there are cells.
Walking all the way in from the gate, Dole was terrified, his face was pale, and all kinds of things were on his mind. Coming here, he had basically lost all his resistance. He had always heard how dark it was here, but after actually coming here, Dole found himself so scared that he didn't know what to do.
The basement is very large, with three floors. As I walked along, I saw many cells.
Seeing new people coming in, the criminals stood at the door, some of them whistling and saying some creepy words.
Dole was quickly taken to a separate room filled with finely chopped hay, even feces in some places, dark brown blood stains everywhere, and the air was full of stench. His hands were chained and he was quickly thrown in, then the iron door slammed shut, and a large iron chain was hung on the door and locked.
The two detectives walked away without saying anything.
Diss didn't come in. It was obvious that catching him was not a big deal.
Dole was distraught.
I don’t know if Brother Ha will come to save me. Now I can only count on Brother Ha.
Soon, he heard some noise outside and looked outside. When he saw who it was, his face turned pale.
The people who came were Carmen, Dis, and Ferrer. Standing behind Dis were Sam and Oddo in a wheelchair.
"Bring the man out to me, and take him to the torture chamber."
Dis said something to the two police officers next to him, then smiled and said to Sam next to him, "This kid looks very stubborn, but he will behave himself after a beating. We will collect a confession later, and as long as he signs and seals it, he can be sentenced."
Sam looked at Dolai with a look of resentment, "It's better to kill this guy directly. I want to watch him die."
Oddo sat in a wheelchair with a distorted face, looking at Dolai with a ferocious expression, "Haha, you have come to this day, kid. I will beat him to death with my own hands later."
"Why beat him to death? Beating him to death won't relieve the hatred in our hearts. We need to beat him for a few more days." Ferrer and Carmen added fuel to the fire.
When Dolai heard this, his mind went blank. The police and the gangsters are one family. This is the real police and the gangsters. He has already thought about the future he is about to face. Brother Ha, please show up soon. If you don’t show up, I’m done.
The two detectives quickly opened the door and brought Dole out. Dole resisted a few times, and with his strength as a junior warrior, he made the two detectives unable to stand steadily.
At this time, Carmen came forward with a stick in her hand and hit Dole in the chest.
Dolai fell down in pain, and was then carried by two men to the interrogation room.
There was a cross in the torture chamber, and Dole was soon tied to the cross.
Dis and the others stood in front of the cross and waved to let the two police officers leave. He took out a spiked whip from the side and handed it to Sam, saying with a cold smile, "He is yours. Remember, don't beat him to death."
Sam took the whip, grinned, and said, "I know my limits. I've done a lot of this at the Bianchi Mine."
Dis nodded. "You have half an hour. If I'm not mistaken, Harley from the Old Ko Blacksmith Shop will be here soon. This guy is a contracted blacksmith of the blacksmith shop. They won't give up."
"Who cares about signing a contract with a blacksmith? I won't feel comfortable until this kid is dead." Sam's mentality is obviously twisted. His own son is disabled, shouldn't he be angry?
Odo was even more excited at this time. He yelled at Dole, "Damn bastard."
Dole had chest pain and could no longer speak. Carmen's stick almost knocked him unconscious. Listening to their conversation, he had already foreseen his fate and was filled with despair.
After Diss finished speaking, he left quickly, leaving only Oddo, his son and Carmen in the torture room.
Carmen held a cigarette in her mouth, looked at Dolai, and smiled slightly, "This kid thinks he has the protection of Old Ko's Blacksmith Shop. I can't do anything about it. Although Old Ko's Blacksmith Shop is the property of the city lord, you are just a small blacksmith."
Sam held the whip in his hand and swung it a few times, making snapping sounds. The anger in his heart quickly accumulated. This damn bastard made me spend three gold coins. Damn it.
"Thank you, Captain Carmen and Captain Ferrer. After this incident, would you like to go to that place?" He showed a puzzled look.
Carmen raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You are sensible. I'm leaving now. Remember, you can only use the whip, nothing else." He was afraid that the two men would beat Dolai to death, and he would have a hard time explaining himself. After all, he also needed to deal with Harley at Lao Ke's blacksmith shop.
"I just followed to see if Sheriff Diss has a better idea." Ferrer chuckled and didn't care. A kid living in the slums looked a little incompetent after all this frown.
At this time, Dole gritted his teeth and glared at Oddo and his son. When he thought about what was going to happen to him next and the related things he read in the book, he secretly swore in his heart that if he could get out, he would kill the father and son.
