Chapter 225: We're from the Wizarding Land of Greenriel

Darkness, hunger, pain...

Under the glaring sunlight, Ebur groggily regained consciousness, feeling a sharp pain on his right cheek.

It seemed Owens final punch had landed hard, swelling the entire right side of his face.

But Ebur had no time to dwell on this; he soon realized his hands were restrained by peculiar shackles, and more alarming was the suppression of his magical powers.

"These are shackles made with Anti-Magic Stones, capable of suppressing a wizard's spellcasting ability," a voice echoed in the room.

Ebur immediately turned to see the eerie, devilish figure standing not far away. Alongside stood the middle-aged man who had deceitfully pretended to be a cripple and a young teenager.

Oh no... Ebur's face drained of color. He couldn't deny anymore that he had been captured. Horrific torture methods flashed through his mind.

He'd heard that every wizard captured by the clergy would face brutal torment. Whether they disclosed information or not, the ultimate outcome was being sent to the pyre, charred to ashes.

Thinking about this, Ebur gritted his teeth, his hands instinctively searching for something between his fingers.

"No need to search. In case you're considering the unthinkable, I've already taken it out for you," Lynn reached out with his right hand, revealing an iron rod about the length of a finger, etched with intricate runes.

This concealed item had been tucked within the folds of Ebur's robe, probably meant for suicidal situations or taking enemies down with oneself.

Seeing his last resort now in Lynn's possession, Ebur looked utterly defeated, collapsing against the white wall as if his bones had turned to jelly.

"Don't worry, we don't mean any harm," Lynn said slowly.

"Don't bother. I won't tell you anything!" Ebur interjected with a cold sneer.

Lynn was speechless at Ebur's hostile attitude but understood the man was likely still angry from being beaten. After a moment's thought, he spoke, "In fact, we come from the wizarding land of Greenriel!"

Severe interrogation seemed inappropriate; he didn't want to push potential allies onto the opposing side.

Especially now, with William's uncertain stance, these wizards rooted in the Kingdom of Hadralata became even more valuable assets.

Taking a breath, Lynn instructed Owen to 'look after' Ebur, then left with Loude. A few minutes later, servants brought in some food, placing it on the table.

Having trailed Loude for days and just survived a grueling battle, Ebur was exhausted and famished. The bread, sausages, steaks, and grilled fish laid out on the table were like a devil's temptation, continuously drawing his attention.

Ebur swallowed hard but quickly speculated that there must be some substance here designed to induce hallucinations, tempting him to divulge crucial information.

"Aren't you eating?" Owen asked strangely.

Having 'seen through everything' already, Ebur firmly shook his head, indicating he wouldn't touch anything!

Owen didn't pay much heed to Ebur, picking up a succulent steak and devouring it heartily, swiftly clearing the table of all delicacies without leaving a trace for Ebur.

Could it be these foods were indeed safe? Seeing Owen enjoying his meal, Ebur couldn't resist the temptation and found himself caught between reason and hunger...
