Release that Witch

4. Chapter 4 Flame

    “What happened when the mining site collapsed, you can say it again.”

    Anna nodded and began to describe.

    Roland felt a little surprised.

    He thought that the other party would be silent, would complain, or would curse, but she just answered her own questions and asked what to say.

    The story is not complicated. Anna’s father is a miner who works in the mine when he lands. Anna, who got the news, immediately entered the mine with other miners’ families. Northern Slope Mining area It is rumored to be a nest of underground monsters, with many winding roads extending in all directions. Since the rescuers did not have a unified command, they would scatter their search after entering the hole. When Anna found her father, only Susan and Neak, the neighbors, were present.

    She found that her father was crushed by a cart filled with ore and could not move, but a side of the miner was searching for the coins on his body. Seeing that his robbery was broken, the miner rushed up to knock Uncle Onker to the ground, and when he was ready to kill, Anna killed him first.

    The neighboring couple vowed not to say anything about her, and the three rescued Anna’s father together. But the next day, before dawn, Anna’s father went out with a cane and reported the daughter’s witch to the patrol guard.

    “Why?”Roland couldn’t help but turn around and ask.

    Barov sighed. “Probably for bounty. Those who find and report the witch can get 25 gold royals. For a person who broke his leg, the 25 gold royals are equivalent to the protection of the rest of his life. ”

    Roland was silent for a moment. “The other is a strong and powerful adulthood man. How did you kill him?”

    Just then, Anna smiled. Just like the waves on the lake, the flame tip of the torch swayed.

    “It’s the power of Devil you said.”

    Just shut up. Demon girl ! ”The warden screamed, but anyone could hear the vibrato in his throat.

    “Was I? I want to see. ”Fourth Prince is not moving.

    “His Royal Highness, this is not a joke!”Chief Knight turned his head and frowned.

    Roland walked out from behind Knight and stepped forward to the cage. “Be afraid to leave, I didn’t ask you to stay here.”

    “Don’t panic, she still has God Punishment Lock on her neck!”Baro Gaofu comforted everyone, and it was like comforting himself. “Devil is also powerful and impossible to break the blessing of God.”

    Roland and Anna, standing in front of the prison railing, were only one arm away, and he could clearly see the other person’s cheeks covered with dust and scars. The tender five senses mean that she is not yet adulthood, but her expression does not capture a trace of childishness. Not only that, but even angry is hard to find – this uncoordinated feeling Roland only seen on TV. It was the appearance of a stray orphan who suffered from poverty, hunger, cold and other sufferings. But not exactly the same, stray orphans always look at the camera and bow their heads, but Anna does not.

    Until now, she still tried to stand up straight, her eyes raised slightly, and she stared straight into the prince’s eyes.

    She is not afraid of death, Roland realizes that she is waiting for death.

    “Do you see witch for the first time, adult? Your curiosity may kill you. ”

    “If it’s really Devil’s power, it will be unfortunate at a glance,” Roland answered. “So you shouldn’t be dead, but your father.”

    The fire in the cage suddenly changed. This time it was definitely not an illusion. The flame seemed to be suppressed. Soon there was only a small cluster left. He heard the rapid breathing and prayers behind him, and the muffled sound of people accidentally falling down when they panicked.

    Roland’s heartbeat gradually accelerated. He felt that he was at a wonderful demarcation point. On the other hand, he was a world of common sense. He followed the planned constants and laws and worked meticulously. On the other side is an incredible world filled with mystery and unknown. He is now standing in front of the door of this new world.

    Is God Punishment Lock hanging around her neck? What a simple chain, a red painted chain hanging a crystal clear pendant, if you don’t hold the witch both hands behind, can this thing be destroyed?

    Roland looked back at the crowd, and everyone was still panicking and praying, quickly reaching into the cage, grabbing the sinker and pulling it hard, the buckle of the pendant and the chain was broken – this action even Anna was stunned.

    Come on.He whispered. Are you a liar, a chemist, or a real witch?

    If you pull out the bottles and cans now and start to configure strong acid, I will be disappointed. He thought to himself.

    Then Roland heard the snoring, which was the sound of water vapor expansion – the ground was white and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

    He saw the flame rising from the other’s feet, gently licking the girl’s bare calf, and then the ground on which she stood was burning. The torch behind him exploded at the same time, as if it had obtained pure oxygen, it burst into a dazzling light. The whole cell was shaped like a white, and the screams of people were horrified.

    The witch stepped forward, the flame swam with her pace, and when she came to the jail, dozens of iron railings became fire pillars.

    Roland had to step back, and the hot air biting the skin made him sore. In just a few breaths, he is like returning to the midsummer from late autumn. No, unlike the hot heat of summer, this high temperature caused by flame alone cannot surround him in all directions. The heat wave on the side facing the flame is coming, and the side facing away is chilly. He even felt that he was sweating.

    – She is not afraid of the flames.

    Roland remembered the words of the Assistant Minister. It was not until now that he deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

    She is a flame herself, how can she fear herself?

    Soon, the iron railing changed from deep red to bright yellow and began to melt and change. This means that they have been heated to more than 1,500 Baidu, and this step is done without any thermal insulation measures, which greatly exceeds Roland’s imagination. Like everyone else, he is far from the cell and clings to the stone wall farthest away.

    If you don’t do this, the high heat generated by the molten iron can make the clothes burn even if it is not in direct contact – such as Anna, her prison uniform has already been turned into Ash, and the body is surrounded by raging fire.

    I don’t know how long it lasted, the flames all faded.

    There was only a small section of the torch on the wall that burned quietly, as if nothing had happened. But the sweaty clothes, the hot air, and the prison bars that were burnt like Devil’s minions, all told everyone that this was not a dream.

    In addition to Roland and Knight standing still, everyone else has fallen to the ground, and the warden is even more scared of pants.

    Anna, who is naked, is standing outside the cage, and the shackles that trap her arms are gone. She did not block her body, the both hands naturally hanged on the side, and the blue eyes of the lake restored the peace before.

    “I have satisfied your curiosity, adults,” she said. “Can you kill me now?”

    “No,” Roland stepped forward and wrapped her coat around her, saying in the mildest tone, “Miss Anna, I want to hire you.”
