Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 278 Flower Lady and Knight (1)

The old man in Shadow had a casual personality to begin with, but when he met a good talent like Xingluo, he was excited to let Xingluo be the contact person in the organization. But it was a pity that such a good talent was going to die now. The old man who hadn't touched alcohol for more than ten years actually drank alone. It was obvious that Xingluo had occupied a place in his heart, and he was somewhat sad about Xingluo's departure, which had gone beyond the relationship of money.

Xingluo didn't think so much. After knowing that the other party was within the territory of Luoshen Empire, Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief. He was somewhat tired of traveling back and forth between the major empires these times. It was rare that he encountered a nearby one, so Xingluo rushed to the target location overnight. Intelligence is time-sensitive. If the other party has already left, he will have to find it himself, which would be a loss. Although he also notified the Cat Royal Family to rush there, no matter how fast the Cat Royal Family is, they can never be faster than him, a time and space mage.

Xingluo directly opened the teleportation array, walked out, and began to use wings and space magic to travel. He arrived at a manor overnight. The manor was located outside the city, with a small river next to it.

The manor in the Middle Ages was a self-sufficient economic unit, often located beside a small river, where farm tools, seeds, livestock, etc. were all used together. The farmers in the manor were mainly responsible for cultivating their own land, and also cultivated their own land for the lord.

However, this manor was obviously different from those normal manors. It was located in a quiet land in the suburbs, and was filled with a quiet and ancient atmosphere. When Xingluo approached the manor, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face, as if the tranquility of the night was swept away by a sudden storm.

The stream flows slowly along the edge of the manor, and through the clear stream you can see human-shaped objects hanging upside down in the manor. They present a terrifying and tragic scene, flashing eerie and distorted shadows in the moonlight.

The manor is surrounded by dense vegetation and flowers. However, danger and death are hidden in this beauty and harmony. The branches and leaves of the trees are intertwined, as if suggesting that there was a terrible and cruel battle here.

The manor was filled with the suffocating smell of blood. It was strong and pungent, flowing in the air. Every breath seemed to be filled with fear and anxiety.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the manor, creating mottled light and shadows that interweave cruelty and beauty, making it difficult to discern the truth.

The objects hanging upside down by the stream swayed unsteadily, flickering eerie shadows. They swayed gently in the breeze, as if silently telling a terrible and unspeakable story.

There were still some men in the manor with chains around their necks and ankles. They were all working in the fields. There were also some female supervisors who would occasionally whip them, leaving marks on their bodies. However, the men's roars were not loud, as if they were used to it, or it was possible that their throats had been irreversibly damaged.

They kept farming, and some of them were exhausted to death. After simple processing, they were thrown into a bucket. Next to them was a ferocious guarding beast hound. The owner of the manor here did not regard these men as human beings at all, and they were even worse than those dogs.

After Xingluo came here, he was stunned by the abyss-like scene. He subconsciously wanted to take action, but in the end his killer qualities came into play and made him calm down. He was not sure whether the other party was there. If he alerted the other party and let him go, it would cause more killings.

Xingluo patiently took several deep breaths, but couldn't calm down. He even used his mental strength to suppress his emotions.

"Master, just now a man was disobedient and refused to use his tongue to clean your ceramic pot. I want you to give this hateful guy to me so that I can teach him a lesson for you." The woman called the master was the dreaded Hua Niang.

Hua Niang just waved her hand and said, "You can make the decision on this matter yourself. Just remember to have someone clean it up."

The hot woman holding the whip had a flash of desire in her eyes and said quickly, "Okay, Master."

The whipped woman couldn't wait to turn around and leave, and the man with a nice figure looked at the woman who was walking towards him with fear. After the other party whipped him, a mark appeared on his body. Most of the men here only had a piece of rag to cover their lower body, and most of them were exposed. And things like today, where he was deliberately bullied because of his good figure, happened from time to time. The best outcome for this guy was to become a pet of these women, and most of them were thrown into the bucket after they got tired of playing with him.

However, since the owner of the manor is a powerful magician, as long as he does not go too far, the lords will turn a blind eye to what happens here. After all, the other party is a magician, and even if all the nobles' armed forces are dispatched, they may not be able to hurt the other party.

The whip-wielding woman dragged the man directly to the hut in the backyard, and then a tooth-grinding roar and a woman's loud shout came from inside, and then the smell of blood became stronger. Xingluo had been observing these days and wanted to see if these women were forced to come here, but after observing them, he found that each of them had blood on their hands, and those men who were like livestock were their tools, not even pets.

As for the men who worked the fields like pigs and dogs, the lights had long gone out of their eyes. Some of the men who were beginning to feel unwilling and angry were dealt with immediately. From time to time, the owner of the manor would carry a man away and enter the house. After a horrible noise, there would be no movement inside. After a few days, a naked body would be thrown out, but the shape of the body no longer seemed to be a human.

When Xingluo just came here, he happened to see the meat thrown out of the house. Xingluo did not act rashly. After all, the other party was a titled magician, and he was just a junior magician who had just been promoted. Although the other party had been injured, he was ranked on the list with a seriously injured body, which shows how strong he was before he was injured. He had to ensure the success of the assassination mission, and he was powerless to change what had happened.

During the few days that Xingluo was observing, the Cat Royal Clan had sent people to deliver information. Hua Niang's experience made him frown. No wonder she hated men so much.

Xingluo sighed. There must be something hateful about pitiful people, but the targets of their anger were mostly innocent. This was something Xingluo could not tolerate. If one could do whatever he wanted just because he was powerful, and use those innocent targets as tools to vent his desires and slaughter them at will, then what was the difference between him and a demon.

This magician named Hua Niang was childhood sweethearts with another knight. The two grew up together. Hua Niang was completely devoted to the knight. Even though the knight betrayed her many times and was even found to have affairs with other women, Hua Niang would soften her heart when the knight knelt in front of her and begged for forgiveness. After all, this man was the one who had entered her heart when she was not yet a magician. Moreover, the man became a professional first and once protected her from the mouth of a monster when she was not yet a magician.
