The two interrogators skillfully turned the gears and rotated Hogan's torture rack, causing Hogan to lie flat on his back.
The two interrogators took out a pair of pliers from their leather bags and walked to the torture rack. Amidst Hogan's screams and pleas for mercy, they used the pliers to straighten Hogan's fingers one by one and locked them into a few U-shaped slots on the torture rack.
Next, the two interrogators took out three-inch-long steel needles and nailed them into Hogan's fingernails one by one.
As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Even if a needle was accidentally inserted into a fingernail, the pain would be unbearable. Needless to say, the pain of nailing a whole steel needle in was simply unimaginable.
Hogan's frantic screams immediately resounded throughout the dungeon.
Amidst his painful and frantic screams, Hogan did not forget to drag Feng Chou down with him. "My Lord … Ah … My Lord, Young Master Cizé wasn't … Ah … I killed him … It was Allen … He was the one who lured me to kidnap … Ah … Young Master Cizé …"
No matter what Hogan said, Baron Amborite remained indifferent. He looked coldly at Hogan, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.
It was just like when Leo found out the reason for his family's destruction, the person he hated the most was not Baron Amborite or the Gray Shadow Chamber of Commerce, but Hogan who betrayed the feudal lord.
At this moment, the person Baron Amborite hated the most was Hogan who betrayed him!
Hogan did not give up and continued to howl, "My Lord Baron … Ah … My Lord … I have a tracking ring … It has Allen's blood on it … Ah … I can track him … Ah … My Lord … He was the one who killed Young Master Cizé …"
After hearing Hogan's words, Baron Amborite's expression changed slightly, and he ordered someone to call Kelly over.
After asking Kelly and hearing that he did not see any magical items on Hogan's body, Baron Amborite did not ask further. He knew that the magical items on this person should have been taken away by the Ogre Wizard's subordinates.
… …
The interrogation lasted until the afternoon. After using more than ten bottles of intermediate healing potions, Baron Amborite ordered the interrogation to be stopped.
It was not that Baron could not bear it, but because Arvin had sent someone to report that the caravan from the Brady Chamber of Commerce had arrived. They were staying at a hotel called 'The Old York'. a hotel.
It was a hotel that served caravans. Not only did the hotel have a spacious courtyard and stable, but it also had a warehouse for temporary storage.
Feng Chou, who was hiding on the roof of the castle and eavesdropping, thought for a moment and ordered the Green Owl to take to the air. They left Amborite Town and flew towards the Veron Ridge Mountains in the north.
The Green Owl streaked across the sky like lightning, crossing the barren Fishtail Mountain and entering the Gnoll Valley not far away.
In the middle of the Gnoll Valley, there was a mountain plain that was several square kilometers in size.
It was said that in the early days of Amborite's development, there was a sizable Gnoll clan here. The Amborite's pioneer, a level nine intermediate wizard, paid a great price to eliminate the Gnoll clan.
Although the Gnoll clan was eventually eliminated, and there were no more Gnolls in the valley, the names of the Gnoll Valley and the Gnoll Prairie were still preserved.
More than ten years ago, when Leo's grandfather, Baron Old Amborite, planned to develop the plains in the north of Veron Ridge, this mountain plain was used as a forward base.
Therefore, in the Gnoll Valley, there was not only a simple road that was built back then, but there was also a simple abandoned castle in the middle of the Gnoll Prairie.
About a year ago, Baron Amborite ignored the objections and persuasions of others and proposed to fulfill his father's wish to develop the plains in the north of Veron Ridge again. He ordered people to repair the road in the valley and the castle in the middle of the Gnoll Prairie.
Fortunately, when the road and the castle were repaired, Baron Amborite seemed to have forgotten about his ambition and no longer mentioned redeveloping the plains in the north.
The Green Owl flew along the sky above the valley until it reached the mountain plain in the middle of the valley.
It circled around the castle in the middle of the plain and quietly landed in a bush not far from the castle, disappearing without a trace.
The castle was not big and was very simple. Now, only the ruins of the outer earthen wall and the simple stone castle inside were left. Some of the buildings that were originally distributed in the earthen wall had long been eroded by the erosion of time, leaving only a few broken walls.
When Baron Amborite repaired the castle, he only asked people to clean up the weeds in the castle, flatten the ground, and thoroughly clean the stone castle. After that, he left it at the back of his mind, which made people feel puzzled.
When the Green Owl was circling above the castle, Qiankun Pagoda scanned the castle and found some mysterious human wanderers lurking in the dark corners around the castle.
The Green Owl drilled into the bushes and landed lightly on a branch of a bush. It looked around vigilantly. After making sure that no one had noticed it, it jumped down from the branch.
When the Green Owl landed, it had already turned into a human wearing a Drow -style inlaid leather armor.
This human was of course Feng Chou. After Feng Chou landed, he did not hesitate to activate the invisible ring.
Hiding in the bushes, Feng Chou waited quietly.
…
In the "Old Man York" Inn in Amborite Town, a newly arrived caravan quickly settled down after a slightly chaotic bustle.
Several leaders of the caravan and mercenary leaders gathered in a spacious room on the third floor of the inn.
If Feng Chou was here at this time, he would recognize two of his acquaintances in this group of people. One was Darnel's guard captain, Philip, and the other was Intermediate Mage Brand.
In addition to these two people, there were five warriors wearing medium armor and three rogues wearing inlaid leather armor among them.
The leader of these people was neither Philip nor Mage Brand. Instead, it was a middle-aged man with a sinister face that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.
A total of nine people gathered in a room, which made the originally spacious room look very cramped.
These people were either standing or sitting, but their eyes were focused on the middle-aged man sitting in the chair in front of the window.
This middle-aged man was one of the vice-captains of the elite guards of the El Chamber of Commerce. He was a level ten wanderer and a level four warrior. His name was Elton.
The elite guards of the El Chamber of Commerce were all composed of professionals above the middle grade. They had the size of a squadron and five squads. Philip was the captain of one of the squads, and Elton was the vice-captain of the squadron and also the captain of one of the squads.
Elton's eyes fell on Mage Brand who was sitting on the sofa and said, "Mr. Brand, please cast a spell to determine his position.
Wizard Brand nodded calmly. He stood up and walked to the middle of the guest room. He took out a crystal ball from his backpack and held it in his hands. He softly uttered a few cryptic syllables. The crystal ball in his hands suddenly lit up with a faint light.
