Chapter 139 Burial
"Don't come over here, don't come over here. Don't come over here!"
In the end, Manuna, who was regarded as his support, was destroyed by the falling lightning, and Marquis Bensi completely collapsed.
He sat down on the ground, his face mixed with snot and tears, looking extremely miserable.
"You can't kill me, you can't kill me. I am a noble, I am a marquis of the empire. You commoners are not qualified to kill me! If you kill me, His Majesty the Emperor will not forgive you!"
Marquis Bensi moved his butt backwards and tried to arouse Luo Qiu's fear with words.
"Scumbag, waste." This is Luo Qiu's summary of the Marquis.
As a marquis of a country, he is considered to be in a high position of power, but he is so afraid of death that he is not even as good as a butler. It has to be said that it is a tragedy of the Kendenia Empire to let such a person hold a high position.
The country in another world is not easy either.
"It would be most appropriate for you to be buried with them in person." After Luo Qiu finished speaking lightly, he gestured, and lightning flashed in the sky. The blue and white thunder of punishment fell heavily.
Under the horrified eyes of Marquis Bensi, lightning penetrated his whole body. Marquis Bensi's body froze there like a puppet that had been electrocuted. He didn't even have a chance to struggle. Starting from the head, it gradually decomposed into particles and slowly disappeared.
"You should thank your butler. He wanted to let you experience real hell. If he hadn't asked me to give you a quick death, you would never have died so easily."
Luo Qiu sighed softly. The old man's last request before his death was something he could not refuse. Luo Qiu finally gave up the idea of torturing Marquis Bensi severely.
“I didn’t expect there would be such a big fuss.”
Luo Qiu walked in the castle of Marquis Bensi and opened a secret door leading to the underground. This was a secret door that Marquis Bensi thought would never be discovered by outsiders, but Luo Qiu opened it with ease.
The dark and damp passage smelled of decay. The surroundings were eerily quiet. Luo Qiu could only hear the sound of his own steps climbing up the stairs.
The stairs were not long, and Luo Qiu soon arrived at the basement, where the Marquis Bensi's biggest secret was hidden.
"Fireball." A fist-sized fireball rose up and illuminated the entire basement.
There are no mountains of gold coins, no precious gold and silver treasures, only neatly arranged coffins. At a glance, there are no less than fifty coffins, which are so densely packed that it is extremely creepy.
Luo Qiu approached one of the coffins and saw the words "Died in Combat No. 3" engraved on it. He opened the coffin and saw the body inside. Luo Qiu's pupils fluctuated.
Most of the boy's body had been burned, leaving only half of his body lying quietly in the coffin.
Luo Qiu closed the coffin lid and opened the second, third, and fourth
That's right, the bodies stored here are those of children, and most of them have varying degrees of damage, and none of them are intact.
This is the real hobby of Marquis Benxi.
These children were originally candidates for the Mercedice family to be trained as loyal servants like Manuna. The Mercedice family gathered these orphans together, and after repeated brainwashing, let them fight each other, calling it "training ability". The one who survived to the end would have the right to serve the Mercedice family permanently. Over the years, the most outstanding person trained under this mechanism is the old butler Manuna.
Of course, there will be death when there is fighting. Marquis Bensi ordered the bodies of the seriously injured children to be transported to the basement of the castle and stored there. He would come to admire them whenever he had time.
In his eyes, the value of these children's remains is comparable to priceless works of art. There is nothing better than the incomplete human bodies and broken aesthetics. In comparison, the flowers and plants carefully planted in the garden are just decorations for these remains.
The special hobby of Marquis Bensi was widely circulated in the upper class of the imperial capital, and Clarence VI naturally knew about it. It was a pity that he hid it too well and never revealed any flaws. The basement was not found when people secretly investigated it. In addition, he had the support of the aristocracy behind him, so Clarence VI could not do anything to him.
Unexpectedly, this time when he was trying to complete the task assigned to him by the nobles, he fell into Luo Qiu's hands. "Disgusting low taste." Luo Qiu whispered to himself.
If Luo Qiu had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there could be such a perverted person. He looked like a glorious and elegant aristocrat, but secretly had such a dirty hobby. Luo Qiu originally planned to deal with Marquis Bensi secretly, but he did not expect that this guy was more anxious than him, so he could only send him on his way first.
A cluster of flames shot out from the fingertips and shot out in the direction of Luo Qiu's fingers, lighting each coffin.
The red flames reflected Luo Qiu's figure, and he just watched silently as all the coffins were burned to ashes.
Only after the last coffin was burned to ashes did Luo Qiu turn around and leave the basement.
The huge castle was completely deserted. This was originally a place used by Marquis Bensi for pleasure, so there were only a few maids and guards. In just a few hours, the castle was already empty.
Luo Qiu just walked out of the castle gate, but after taking a few steps, he stopped again.
"Leave a mark." After looking around, Luo Qiu stretched out his left hand towards the castle.
"The Nether Forest!"
This is the second time that Luo Qiu has activated the legendary magic 'Nether Forest' since arriving in the other world.
Different from the last time, this time Luo Qiu completely released the terrifying power of the 'Nether Forest'.
The entire castle was stained with darkness in an instant, and the earth became dark and boundless. Giant dark trees broke out of the dark and deep earth and pierced into the sky. The appearance of each giant tree meant that a part of the castle was swallowed up. Soon, the slightly dilapidated castle disappeared completely, and was replaced by a black forest representing death.
"Time freezes."
Luo Qiu used the second legendary magic 'Time Freeze'. The effect of this magic is to extend the duration of the skill effect. Although it cannot achieve the effect of permanent freeze, it is still easy to extend it for three to five days.
Because of the effect of 'time freeze' in the 'Nether Forest', the black giant tree that should have disappeared after devouring its target was preserved, and anyone who touched the giant tree would be swallowed mercilessly.
After doing all this, Luo Qiu left without looking back.
After Luo Qiu left, not too far from Marquis Bensi's castle, three men were trembling as they looked at the black forest.
Their faces were covered with shock and panic.
"Then what is that? What is that? Ugh." One of them stammered.
It was too scary, really too scary. Even just a glance at those black trees made the man feel his heart twitch, and then his stomach churned. He couldn't help but lower his head and vomit.
After vomiting, I felt dizzy and listless.
His two companions were in even worse condition. They had already curled up on the side, shivering and unable to speak.
"Mom, I want to go home!" Finally, one person couldn't stand the mental oppression brought by the black giant tree anymore. He burst into tears and ran away.
If Luo Qiu could see this scene, he might praise him, saying that being able to escape from the negative mental effects of the 'Nether Forest' meant that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the other world.
