Chapter 232



232 The Seal

Selma Payne’s POV:

Soon, Master Kevin was brought back. He didn’t seem to be injured. Other than being a little dispirited, he was in perfect condition.

“What did they do to you?” I nervously guarded against the guards and pulled Master Kevin into the cell’s depths. How do you feel?”

Master Kevin looked sickly and whispered, “They didn’t torture me, nor did they ask me anything. They just put a seal on me.”

“A seal?”

“Yes, my magic power has been sealed.” He had never been so serious before. “There is a powerful sorcerer here. No, it might be a powerful human sorcerer. He is more powerful than any witch or wizard I’ve ever seen, and the evil aura on his body is almost solid. I’m sure he’s a believer of some evil god, and he’s already offered his body and soul to his master, which is why he’s so powerful.”

“A human sorcerer?”

Just as I was gasping in surprise, Dorothy inhaled sharply.

Yes, I’d been contacting Dorothy through the mind link, as this was the only way to contact anyone outside.

When I pretended to surrender, I informed Dorothy. She told me that Aldrich and Master Mary had already informed the palace and were thinking of countermeasures. The public order squad would temporarily end their surveillance work and return to the base. They would try their best to cooperate with me.

Before I could say anything to Master Kevin, a few humans roughly dragged me out of the cell.

I was brought to a tent that was surrounded by many tents. This ordinary-looking tent had a different world inside. It was ten times bigger than its appearance and decorated like a luxurious palace.

An old man with a white beard was sitting on the golden and gorgeous throne in the center. He seemed kind, but even I, who knew nothing about magic, could smell the disgusting rotten smell in his soul.

“Welcome, Miss Selma from the werewolf pack.”

His voice wasn’t as old as his appearance. He sounded like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student.

“Forgive our rudeness, but due to the disparity in power, we had no choice but to use some forceful methods to ensure our safety.”

“A great disparity in strength?” I sarcastically waved the silver wire leather rope burning my skin in my hand and turned back to look at the shiny silver bullet magazine on the guard’s waist. “Forgive me for being blunt, but you’re either in the silver mine business, or no one would be so bored as to set silver on the soles of their shoes. ”

“As I said, this is just a little trick I’m forced to use. You don’t speak like a lady, child.”

The white-bearded old man furrowed his brows and gently waved his hand. The leather rope that bound my arms immediately tightened. I could feel that the silver wire was burning hot, easily cutting my skin as if it were cutting tofu.

The old man remained unmoved in the face of my glare. He only said, “I fully understand your wariness of us, but for safety reasons, I think you can’t contact your companions for the time being. Yuri said you have a sister in Gorndbell Village. Are you going to cut off contact with her yourself, or do you want me to help you?”

What?

Yuri, that damn traitor! I knew he wasn’t loyal, but he had sold out his former comrades too thoroughly!

Fortunately, Aldrich had also anticipated that Yuri would reveal everything to the humans, so Master Mary was using the remaining magic circle of the witch clan’s ruins to arrange an invisible magic circle to hide the traces of the witch clan’s ruins and avoid facing the enemy head-on in a disadvantageous situation.

My silence was taken as a form of resistance. The old man sighed helplessly. “Alright, I’ll still have to move my old bones.”

The tight leather rope bound me tightly, and I couldn’t move at all. I could only watch as the old man placed his withered hands on my head. The old man chanted a strange incantation, and I felt a wave of dizziness. Then, I could no longer sense Dorothy’s existence.

“Just a little insurance. Don’t worry. It won’t harm you or your relationship with your sister.” The old man laughed. “You should be glad that you haven’t been able to transform freely into your wolf. Otherwise, I would have to lock up your soul partner as well. She’s really a hot-tempered girl. You don’t want her to be hurt by the seal, do you?”

“What are you guys trying to do?” I stared at him coldly. “Humans and werewolves have not interfered with each other for many years. Aren’t you afraid of starting a war between the two races by attacking us so suddenly? ”

The old man returned to his throne and chuckled.

“Yuri said that you’re the niece of the werewolf queen. I do not doubt that offending you is offending the werewolf race. Your compatriots will not hesitate to come to the snow mountain to reason with me. Looking at the time, perhaps I only have a few hours of quiet time left, right? You’ve reminded me that I have to finish my chores quickly so I can get down to business as soon as possible. There’s not much time left, and I must leave at night.”

As he spoke, he suddenly started to mumble to himself. He looked like a crazy old man.

He waved his hand, and the guards immediately brought me out.

What did he mean by ‘leaving at night’?

What was the purpose of this group of humans coming to the Rocky Mountains? Where were they going?
