The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

in the dungeon.

Ribel put his shoulders together, leaned on the railing of the cell, turned his back to the Holy Maiden of Light, and asked many questions.

There is no other reason, but the saint is too dazzling.

The Holy Maiden of Light, sitting sideways in the cell, answered patiently with a slightly unlovely tone.

It took Riber a long time to obtain information from the Holy Maiden of Light.

The first to bear the brunt is naturally the name of the Holy Maiden of Light.

Her name is Melueita.

When asked about her surname, Melueita showed a strange expression.

Under her explanation, Riber knew that in this world, common people would not have surnames.Only nobles are worthy of having a surname that can be passed on forever.

Then, civilians without surnames are not the worst.Because, among the civilians, there is also a kind of people called bad people, who don't even have a name.They can only be referred to by the names of some animals.

In the kingdom's system, where even the names are formulated according to class, Riber couldn't say much except for talking too much.

After all, he is now an Earl.They are also Tianlong people who enjoy various preferential treatments.

Secondly, Riber is more concerned about how Melueita was arrested.

Meluita, who was asked the question, naturally had an even weirder expression.

Because, from her point of view, Riber is not only the party involved, but also the mastermind.

Just three days, no, four days ago.When Melueita was working part-time in the church as usual, Riber broke in with a group of people from the Church of Scourge.

They subdued and wounded the relevant personnel in the church, and then kidnapped Melueita alone.

And during this kidnapping, the person who was in charge of the whole process was Riber.

Listening to Melueita's description, Riber seemed calm, but his heart was overwhelmed.

what's the situation?

How does it sound, he doesn't seem to be forced at all?

Ribel couldn't help but asked some details, such as how Melueita knew they were the Church of Scourge.

The answer I got was very simple, that is, one of the group of people simply revealed their identity when they were kidnapped, and another person arrogantly printed the perfect cube on the back of his right hand.

This time, Riber always felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he also got useful information from this description.

That is, the Scourge Church participated in this operation. There were seven people on the surface, but there were actually nine people.

Melueita has an ability similar to the mind's eye, so she still caught two people who were hiding outside the church at that time.

Next, there are some common-sense questions about this world.

There are the most questions in this area, and Melueita's answers are also the most tiring and helpless.

With the mood of giving it a try, Riber also asked Melueita if she knew the maid girl's name.

As a result, there was only a complicated silence from Meluetta.

It seems that, as the heroine, the Holy Maiden of Light doesn't know everything, she only knows what she knows.

...

During the conversation with Melueita, Ribel also discovered a strange phenomenon.

That is, in this dungeon, there are twinkling little star-shaped things everywhere.

That kind of feeling, as if in an RPG game, some NPCs are as conspicuous as a yellow exclamation mark on their heads.

At first, Riber thought it was because the holy light on Melueita's body could not hold back, and it came out.However, it turned out later that it didn't seem to be the case.

Out of curiosity, Riber walked to a wooden table in the dungeon and touched the shining spot with his hand.

As a result, something like a mechanism on the wooden table was activated, and two torches lit up in the dungeon, and it became brighter.

In other words, this is also a kind of cheat ability?

Can he see some hidden organs?

Riber thought for a moment, always feeling a little far-fetched.

Not to mention being able to see the hidden mechanism, and being able to see the heroine glowing, there is nothing to do with it.If it was such an ability, why didn't he notice the mechanism that opened the entrance of the tunnel before?

Moreover, it seems that this strange scene only appeared in this dungeon.

Riber sighed softly, he was really fed up with this golden finger who had been guessing riddles with him.

Apart from the mechanism on the table, Riber didn't investigate other flashes.

Because, some of these shining places are on the walls, some are the fences of the cells, and some are even inside the cells.

Moreover, even Melueita probably cannot pose a threat to him at present.But he still didn't want to test his special ability in the presence of outsiders.

And with the fire in the dungeon, Riber saw such a scene.

The Holy Maiden of Light, Meluetta, actually opened her eyes.

Her pupils are a beautiful blue, and her face has become a bit more vibrant with the opening of the windows of the soul.

Uh, the most important thing is... She actually opened her eyes without any warning or preparation!

Meluetta kept her eyes closed before, and Ribel thought she had some reason to do so.For example, a natural disease, another example, the demon god is sealed in the eyes, once opened, it will bring disaster to the world or something.

Feelings, it turns out that she just likes to close her eyes.

...

It wasn't until in the underground passage that the maid gave a reminder from afar that Liber finally ended the communication with Melueita.

With the information provided by Melueita, Ribel's understanding of the world has increased a bit.

And it wasn't until he was leaving, looking at the railing between himself and Meluetta, that Riber realized, belatedly, why Meluetta didn't hesitate to face some potentially idiotic questions before. Showed twelve points of patience and cooperation.

The current situation is that he kidnapped and imprisoned Melueita, and starved her for three whole days.

In other words, Melueita's life and death are all in his hands.

Therefore, as long as Melueita's IQ is normal, it is naturally impossible for her to do anything that would irritate the kidnappers.

Then, Melueita's calmness that can easily be seen as a result of force, as well as the elegance of being strong on the outside but on the inside, should be regarded as her last stubbornness.

Perhaps, it was because of the overwhelming publicity campaign of "The Witch Screams", which led to Ribel's instinctive aversion to the characters in the promotional PV.

Perhaps, it was because of the difference in luminosity that was visible to the naked eye, or even excessive, between Meluetta and the maid.

Or, it is because Riber himself has a rebellious mentality towards the words "sacred" and "justice".

Therefore, his first impression of Meluetta was actually quite negative.He thought that the other party was a young girl in a prison cell with a pretentious attitude.

But after understanding Melueita's situation, she saw the present she was dealing with.

Riber felt that he could at least face the Holy Maiden of Light without any prejudice in the future.

After all, without this physical talent, he couldn't do better than Melueta under the same circumstances.

"Meluita."

Riber called the name for the first time.

He wanted to say some comforting words, but he felt that such sarcastic remarks were meaningless and would only increase his disgust.

How can a person standing outside the cell understand the mood of the person locked in the cell?

So, he decided to be direct.

"It's actually very simple to let you leave this dungeon."

Hearing Ribel's words, Melueta sat up a little,

"But the hard part is after you're gone."

Hearing this, Melueita's body returned to a soft and weak state.

"so..."

Riber turned around and faced Meluetta.

No matter how dazzling the light emanating from her body is, it takes a while to get used to it.

"Wait for now, and hope."

Speaking of this line that came to mind at the right time, Riber felt that the extremely stiff muscles on his face seemed to loosen for a while.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

Volume 11: Chapter [-], The Escape Room of the Saint

In the dark cell, it was not until Riber left that Melueita finally let go of her strong dignity, and lay down on the ground in a large font as if she lost her strength.

For Meluetta, the conversation with the Earl was full of tension and fear.

Originally, Riber, who was both an earl and a lord, had a very different status from her.What's more, now he is still caught in prison by the other party.

Therefore, no matter how weird Riber's question sounds, Melueita can only answer and cooperate as much as possible.

Taking a long breath, Melueita rolled over on the ground a few times to relax.

This is a habit she has picked up since she was blessed by the goddess when she was 12 years old.

Compared with others, Melueita has two special abilities.

One is a natural ability to perceive the inner conditions of people around to a certain extent.The other item is the "Blessing of the Moon" that Goddess Gao Jie lowered for her when she prayed to the goddess in the Holy Fire Church.

With the blessing of the moon, she can achieve "eternal holiness", will not be contaminated with any filth, and her vitality will become much more tenacious, and minor injuries can even heal instantly.

Overall, it's a handy blessing, albeit a bit unremarkable.

And it is precisely because of the blessing of this month that monks and nuns often call her a "Saint" in the Holy Fire Church in Campret.

Looking back now, Meluetta thought that the reason why she was targeted by the Church of Scourge, which was opposed to the Church of the Holy Fire, was probably because of the title of "Holy Maiden".

Lying on the ground, feeling the coldness of the ground for a long time, Meluita, who finally calmed down a little, looked at the lunch box by the fence of the prison cell, and fell into a brief thought.

To eat or not to eat, that is the question.

Because of the blessing of the moon, Melueita actually won't eat or drink for a month, and won't enter a near-death state.

But on the other hand, eating food can somewhat replenish the energy and strength of the body.

And after careful consideration, Earl Campret didn't need to poison him now that he had locked himself up.

So, after opening the lunch box, Melueita began to eat her first meal in three days.

In all fairness, the taste of the food in the lunch box is very subtle.Melita, who considers herself a village girl, felt that if she cooks, she will definitely cook better than the chef of the count's family.

Could it be that Mr. Earl, who never cooks, made it himself?

An inexplicable thought emerged in her mind that almost choked Melueita.

Fortunately, the food in the lunch box is mainly vegetables with full of water, so Melueita quickly recovered.

After eating, Melueita started to feel sleepy.

She fell asleep in a daze for an unknown amount of time, and when she woke up again, what she saw was still the same scenery.

In the dungeon with almost no light, what pained Meluita the most was actually the loneliness that seemed to last forever.

Rubbing her eyes, Meluetta sat up again, ate some leftover food, and curled up in the corner of the cell with her knees hugged.

After emptying her mind, Melueta seemed to have more time to think.

Looking back on the previous conversation with Mr. Earl in boredom, Meluetta felt that Mr. Earl's words and deeds were very unnatural.

In addition, with a completely different mental landscape from before, she felt that the other party really seemed to be a different person.

And thinking about the matter related to Mr. Earl, Meluetta keenly noticed that Mr. Earl had a very strange behavior when the two were communicating.

He used to be in the dungeon, looking around, as if he was scanning aimlessly, and seemed to be observing something.

Especially after the fire was lit, Meluetta also faced the earl head-on.And she realized that the count was not looking at her, but at the corner of the cell.

Thinking that there was nothing to do anyway, Melueita also cast her eyes on that corner of the cell and moved closer.

When she walked in, she found a raised smooth stone there.And this stone, although it was inlaid on the hard cell floor, Melueta accidentally dug it out after a little fiddling.
