Release that Witch Chapter 4: Flame

"What exactly happened when the mining site collapsed, you can say it again carefully."

Anna nodded and started narrating.

Roland was a bit surprised.

He thought the other party would be silent, complain or curse, but she only responded to her own questions and said whatever she asked.

The story is not that complicated. Anna's father was a miner and was working in a mine when he collapsed. Anna who got this news immediately entered the mine rescue with other miners' families. Northern Slope Mining area is rumored to be a lair of underground monsters, with many forks in it, extending in all directions. Because the rescuers did not have a unified command, they scattered and searched after entering the cave. When Anna found his father, only his neighbor Susan and Uncle Unk were present.

She noticed that her father had broken his leg with a cart full of ore and couldn't move, while a miner squatting aside searched for coins from him. Seeing that the robbery was broken, the miner rushed up with a **** and knocked Uncle Unck to the ground. Just as he was about to kill, Anna killed him first.

The neighbors vowed not to tell her. The three of them rescued the Anna father. But before the next day, Anna's father went out on a cane and reported his witch to his patrol guard.

"Why?" Roland couldn't help but turn around and ask.

Barov sighed, "Probably for bounty. Those who find and report witch can get 25 gold royal. For a person who broke his leg, these 25 gold royal are equivalent to the guarantee of the second half of life."

Roland was silent for a moment, "The other party is a strong and powerful adulthood man, how did you kill him?"

Just then, Anna laughed. Like the waves on the lake, the flame tip of the torch shook.

"The power of Devil you said."

"Shut up! demon girl!" The prison growled and yelled, but everyone could hear the trill in his throat.

"Really? I want to see." Fourth Prince was unmoved.

"Your Highness, this is not a joke!" Chief Knight turned his head and frowned.

Roland stepped out from behind Knight and stepped into the cage step by step, "You can leave if you are afraid, I didn't ask you to stay here."

"Don't panic, she still wears God Punishment Lock around her neck!" Barrow loudly comforted everyone, as if to comfort himself, "No matter how strong Devil is, impossible breaks the protection of God."

Roland and Anna, standing in front of the prison railing, were only one arm away, and he could clearly see each other's dusty and scarred cheeks. Immature facial features means that she is still under age, but her expression does not capture a little childishness. Not only that, it is difficult to find -- even if angry, Roland has only been seen on TV. It was the appearance of an orphan who suffered from poverty, hunger, cold and other suffering in an interview. But it's not exactly the same. The homeless orphan always leans his body and lowers his head when facing the camera, but the Anna does not.

Until now, she still tried to stand upright, her eyes slightly raised, and she looked straight into the eyes of the prince.

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

"I saw witch for the first time, sir? Your curiosity might kill yourself."

"If it is the power of Devil, you will encounter misfortune at a glance," said Roland answer, "then it should not be me, but your father."

The flame of the cage suddenly faded. This time it was definitely not an illusion. The flame seemed to be suppressed by something, and soon there was only a small cluster left. He heard rapid breathing and prayer sounds behind him, as well as the muffled sound of someone accidentally falling when they retreated in a panic.

Roland The heartbeat accelerated gradually. He felt that he was at a wonderful demarcation point. On one side was the world in common sense. According to the planned constants and laws, he worked meticulously. On the other side is an incredible world, full of mystery and unknown. He is now standing in front of the gate of this new world.

Is God Punishment Lock hanging on her neck? What a shabby chain, a piece of red-painted iron chain hanging a crystal pendant, if it wasn't for witch both hands being fastened to the back, this kind of thing can be destroyed by pulling it?

Roland glanced back at everyone. While everyone was still praying, they quickly reached into their cages and grabbed the pendant. The snap of the pendant and the chain broke and -- snapped. Even Anna was choked.

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

I will be disappointed if you now pull out the bottles and cans and start configuring strong acids. He thought.

Then Roland heard a crackling sound. This is the sound of water vapor expanding by heat. -- raised white mist on the ground, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

He saw the flames rising from the opponent's feet, gently licking * the girl's bare calf, and then the ground on which she stood was burning. The torches behind him exploded at the same time, as if they had obtained pure oxygen, bursting into dazzling light. The entire cell was shaped like daylight for a time, accompanied by screams of terror.

witch moved forward, and the flames followed her pace. When she came to the prison, dozens of iron railings turned into pillars of fire.

Roland had to step back, the hot air biting his skin, making him into pain. In just a few breaths, he was back from mid-autumn to midsummer. No, unlike the heat of summer, the high temperature generated by the flame alone could not surround him in all directions. The heat wave billowed on the side facing the flames, and the chill on the side facing away. He even felt like he was sweating.

-- She is not afraid of fire.

Roland remembers Assistant Minister. Only now did he understand the meaning of this sentence.

She is a flame, how can she fear herself?

Soon, the iron railings changed from crimson to bright yellow and began to melt and deform. This means that they have been heated to more than 1,500 Baidu, and this step is done without any thermal insulation measures, which is far beyond Roland's imagination. Like everyone else, he was far away from the cell, clinging to the farthest stone wall.

If you don't do this, the high heat generated by the molten iron can cause the clothes to burn even if not in direct contact. --, such as Anna, her prison uniform has long been transformed into Ash, and her body is surrounded by raging fire.

I don't know how long it lasts before the flames fade away.

There is only a small torch left on the wall, as if nothing happened. But sweaty clothes, hot air, and prison bars that burned like the minions of Devil all told everyone that this was not a dream.

Apart from Roland and Knight who are still standing, everyone else has collapsed to the ground, and the warden has scared his pants.

The naked Anna is standing outside the cage at this moment, and the shackles trapping her arm are no longer visible. She did not cover her body, both hands naturally drew to the side, and the lake blue eyes restored the former tranquility.

"I satisfy your curiosity, sir," she said, "can you kill me now?"

"No," Roland stepped forward, wrapped her jacket around her, and said in a gentlest tone, "Miss Anna, I want to hire you."
