Chapter 496 Exposure
"Please, tell them I've told them everything, I really don't know anything anymore. Please, for the sake of the Lord of Shadows, or some other deity, plead for me and tell them to stop torturing me. I really can't take it anymore—"
Looking at the man pleading for mercy, Sofia felt a little sympathy.
Sofia actually has some quirks; she likes exciting things and sometimes enjoys other people's negative emotions.
However, she was not heartless.
Seeing this suffering person in front of her, Sofia felt indescribable sorrow.
Although there was no special bond between them, and it wasn't Sofia's obligation, she was still willing to help the other party, as long as it wouldn't harm Sofia herself.
However, she was powerless to do anything about it: "I have told the Swabawas what you said and tried to get their opinion, but they said you must be lying. No one would travel halfway around the world to this faraway country just for a pot of spring water."
"I'm telling the truth."
The gaunt man's eyes nearly popped out as he spoke. "It was the elders who sent us. The elders of the Central Community are like your king. They only said they wanted water from the Spring of the Dead, and told us nothing else."
"But they say that there is no central community at all on the permafrost continent."
This actually contradicts Sofia's understanding: the frozen continent only has three regimes.
There is no central community among them.
"This is newly established. Our elder is named Christopher. He seems to have performed some kind of miracle, which attracted the entire Church of the Holy to join him and formed a large army of wizards, which allowed us to gain a foothold on the ice. There's a war going on there now. However, the Central Community is only one year old. It's normal that we don't know much about this remote and isolated country."
This was not the first time this person had said these words.
However, the Swabawas did not buy it.
Mr. Ah Jun coldly stated that this group must be planning to steal the divine radiance of the Spring of the Dead.
The torture will not end until the prisoner reveals what he intends to do with the water from the Spring of the Dead.
"I'm sorry," Sophia shook her head, "my situation is slightly better than yours, but not by much, and I can't help you."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately fell silent.
His bald, bloodied head, drooping downwards, faced Sophia directly, making her extremely uncomfortable to look at.
After a long silence, Sofia heard a barely audible plea: "Then at least—please let them kill me."
Sophia felt a chill run down her spine, but didn't know how to answer.
Perhaps, for this person, death is already a blessing.
Sofia made no promises; she took a few steps back, turned, and left.
After exchanging a few words with the interrogator, Sophia was allowed to leave.
Afterwards, she was "escorted" back to her small bedroom by two soldiers.
Having been under house arrest for some time, Sofia was becoming increasingly anxious.
She had no way to escape from the Swabawas, but feared that one day she would end up like them.
But what should we do?
Sofia has produced several more scrolls these days.
However, due to the poor quality of the materials, the quality of the reel was extremely bad.
Furthermore, Sophia's ability to create scrolls independently is limited in strength, thus limiting the effectiveness of these magical items.
But she could only continue doing it; having something to do was better than having nothing at all.
The task that Commander Andrei gave to Sofia has remained unfulfilled.
Sofia was unable to hear any news from the outside world and was unaware of the current situation of the battle.
But so much time has passed, are Andrei and his men still holding on?
Sofia was filled with anxiety, and what pained her most was her helplessness.
"Bang!"
The sudden, rough opening of the door startled Sofia.
Normally, no matter who comes to see her, they should knock on the door.
Why were they so rude this time?
Sofia sensed something was wrong and quickly looked towards the door.
Ah Jun stood there, his face ashen.
Sofia realized something might be wrong—could it be that her identity as an enemy officer had been exposed?
However, you must not say anything carelessly at this time, otherwise you will give the other party more ammunition.
Fortunately, Sofia has a strong heart that can always remain calm in the face of adversity.
She remained silent, staring at the menacing, uninvited guest.
Ah Jun quickly explained his purpose, taking out a book and tossing it in front of Sophia.
Sofia looked down and saw her book, "Roller Craft".
Ah Jun said, "My men have already compiled a complete list of information on that cult, only to discover that the original owner of this book is none other than you!"
Hearing this, Sofia breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, this isn't the worst outcome.
Sofia took two seconds to organize her thoughts: "This is indeed mine. Is there a problem?"
"Owning a book is certainly not surprising, but I also found several scrolls on you. Connecting these two things, it's hard for me not to think you're a scroll magician!"
Sofia nodded: "I am."
"Then your identity is highly suspicious. A foreigner, and a magician at that, why would you suddenly arrive in Swabawa? Especially during this chaotic time in Swabawa!"
"I told you, I was kidnapped by those people," Sofia said.
"lie!"
“I’m not lying. Why don’t you ask those cultists?” Sophia said. “Wasn’t I being imprisoned that day?”
She was indeed kidnapped, but that was not the reason she came to this country.
Ah Jun was silent for a few seconds; clearly, he didn't fully grasp the situation.
He then asked, "Why did they kidnap you?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I have a little bit of supernatural ability. In fact, my level is not that high."
Ah Jun didn't say anything, but simply gestured to the books on the ground for Sophia to pick them up.
But as soon as she got it in her hand, Ah Jun immediately hid back.
I guess he just didn't want to bow down in front of Sofia.
Then, Ah Jun grabbed the book, slammed the door, and stormed out.
Sofia also knew where the other party was going.
Ask the cult members for details about their kidnapping of Sofia.
Once Ah Jun grasps the truth, he will surely discover that Sophia was not telling the truth.
Sofia will not have a good ending.
There's no time! Sofia has to escape! Escape now!
She pulled out the cheap, hidden scrolls—
What can these things do?
Sofia stood by the window and saw that Ah Jun's figure had disappeared around the street corner.
hateful!
She gritted her teeth and started half of the reel.
Flames bared their fangs and spread around her—
