Chapter 206 Immune to Pain
"Stubborn." Quincy Urther shook his head at Gothe.
"If you are locked up in a dungeon for more than three years, your originally bright future will be ruined." The Vice Chairman said in time.
Three years is nothing to Master Gao Huan.
But for a young genius who was promoted to a first-level mage at the age of 14, it is extremely precious.
Gothe squinted his eyes and looked at Quincy Urther through the faint light of the dungeon.
His expression was calm, no one knew what he was thinking.
It seems that the transformation from a well-known genius in the college to a suspect suspected of deliberately destroying the college's assets has not caused Gothe to have any psychological fluctuations.
Quincy Urser also squinted his eyes and looked at the young student who was sent to the dungeon at his own signal. He was a little surprised at the other's calmness.
Logically speaking, people of this age cannot bear too many blows.
"If you want to say something, just notify the guards outside, but I won't give you too much time. You need to think clearly as soon as possible." Quincy Urser put down these words, turned around and left, without talking to Gaude anymore. entangled.
"Isn't it bad to just put the students in the academy into the dungeon without saying hello to Dean Schell in advance?" After leaving the dungeon, the vice-chairman gave a tactful reminder.
“There is no need to report this kind of trivial matter to Dean Schell,” Quincy Urser replied calmly: “Besides, you should know Dean Schell’s character better than I do.”
"Dean Sher never cares about the process, he only cares about the results. As long as the final result is good, some of my transgressions in the process are nothing." He affirmed.
"Have you searched Gothe's room?" Quincy Urser asked again.
"After searching, there are no rune constructs or other suspicious items."
"In addition, I have sent people to ask people from the potion department. They can also testify that the magic circle exploded this afternoon. At that time, Gothe was indeed collecting maid clams under the coolie cliff. It seems that the explosion of the magic circle had nothing to do with him."
"It should be that He Xi implemented an early warning mechanism when constructing the magic circle. , once it senses that the magic circle is being cracked, it will activate and self-destruct," the Vice Chairman guessed.
He doesn’t understand runes, but he still has some knowledge.
After hearing the Vice Chairman’s analysis, Quincy Urser’s face suddenly turned darker, but it was not obvious in the dark dungeon corridor.
——Isn’t this equivalent to accusing him of causing the explosion of the magic circle because of his lack of skill?
"This is not important. What is important is that we must find the rune configuration left by He Xi."
"He Xi is alone. Apart from leaving the rune configuration to this disciple, Who else can I leave it to?"
"Even if it's not left to him, this kid must know some information."
"After all, He Xi left the rune workshop to him. Quincy Urser said hoarsely.
Because of the rune construction, he had already gotten angry many times in just a few hours.
These sets of rune structures are not only important to Shel Ian and the second prince, they are equally important to him, or even more important.
With them, he can "become" a third-level rune constructor.
The second-level rune constructor has a little weight in the second prince's camp, but he cannot enter the core circle and is not worthy of attention.
Today is a critical moment for "Fulong". The greater the contribution and value that can be made now, the more generous the rewards will be when rewards are given based on merit in the future.
Shel Ian is not the only one who needs to increase the bargaining chip for the second prince.
Quincy Urser also needs to increase his strength.
"How about giving him some hardship first and letting him recognize the reality? Maybe it will make him awe of the disaster in prison." The vice chairman put forward his own suggestion.
Quincy Urser frowned slightly, thought for a while, nodded and said: "He is already in the dungeon, and he is still so ignorant. I really want him to feel how he is treated as a prisoner."
In fact, there are generally not many prisoners in the dungeon of the Mage Tower.
Even if there are, most of the time they are not humans, but other creatures.
So, the dungeon is extremely quiet, and the dim light is enough to create a suffocating sense of depression.
Gaode sat on the floor.
Because there is no bed in the dungeon.
“The teacher is gone and the information has been destroyed. Now, except for my head, there will be no information about the six basic rules of runes and interference constants anywhere in the world.”
"There is no need to worry about the results being leaked for the time being."
"What they want now is the rune construction."
"The teacher did not tell me about the rune construction, but since they are so sure, It is very likely that the things that the teacher has in the St. Sean City Branch of the Oakenley Chamber of Commerce are rune constructs."
No wonder the teacher didn't write these things in his will, and told him to remember to keep it secret and not to be exposed to outsiders. Know.
The old man deeply understands that compared to the "knowledge" that is truly priceless in the eyes of him and Gothe, for outsiders, rune construction is the thing that is truly valuable.
It's just that the old man didn't expect that he had been neglected in the rune workshop for decades, but Shere Ian never stopped looking at him.
So his actions were not concealed from the public.
“I just don’t know if Jelika can help me. I have accepted investment from her, and at least at this level, I have a direct interest relationship with her.”
“ But the intensity she is willing to pay in this matter is still unknown. If they really believe that I know the location of the rune construct, the price of getting me out will definitely not be something she can afford.”
"So, I must kill those who don't know about the rune construction. At least the teacher has never told me about it. The current speculations are just speculations. Even if I am [tortured] or pulled into the [Realm of Honesty], I Can handle it calmly.”
Gothe was silent and thinking.
Among the spells of levels 0 to 3, the spells that can be used for interrogation are [Torture] and [Realm of Honesty].
[Torture], Master Seda has already let Gothe experience it once.
[Field of Honesty] is a 2-level spell. Compared with [Torture], which allows the caster to know whether the target is lying, its spell effect makes the target in the field unable to lie.
However, the affected target can be aware of the existence of the [Realm of Honesty], so when answering questions, you can avoid the most important and the least trivial. As long as it does not exceed the scope of the truth, there will be no problem.
"It's just that if Jelika is unwilling to take action and I don't know how to construct runes, I might really have to stay in prison for several years under their embarrassment."
This The consequences are not trivial.
But will he hand over what the teacher left him, to these villains?
Definitely not.
Then there is no need to think too much about the consequences.
"The life span of a first-level mage is 150 years. With the [Aoki Sutra] and Yugatha Sheila, it can be even longer. Let alone a few years. Even if it is delayed for more than ten years, it is not unacceptable."
Of course, This is the worst worst case scenario.
After sorting out his thoughts and mentally preparing himself to withstand the worst-case scenario, Gaode stopped thinking about it.
But in the dungeon, there is actually nothing to do.
Gaode simply started trying to build a spell model.
Fortunately, he had already memorized the three-element array representing the coordinates disassembled by the spell model.
But his stability did not last long.
About half an hour later, there was a dull and depressing sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the dungeon.
The already dim light in the dungeon became even darker.
The originally dead atmosphere became colder and weirder as the footsteps approached.
There was an ominous atmosphere in the air, making people shudder.
Immediately afterwards, a figure shrouded in a black hooded robe appeared outside Gothe's prison.
His face was obscured by the shadows.
But Gaode could sense that the other party was looking at him with a sinister look.
The gaze was not only sinister, but also cruel and indifferent, giving Gaode a bad feeling in his heart.
The next moment, an indescribable aura of anxiety filled the air.
Gothe's face instantly twisted and his eyes widened.
An indescribable and uncontrollable severe pain came like a tide, sweeping through his body in an instant.
The pain came so suddenly and so violently that Gothe felt as if his soul was being torn apart.
His body began to tremble violently because of the severe pain, and his muscles were so tight that they were almost torn apart.
He felt that at this moment, every inch of flesh and blood in his body, every part of his skin, seemed to be experiencing the torment of flames, biting ice, insect bites, and sharp blade cuts at the same time.
Sweat rolled down his forehead like broken beads, instantly soaking his clothes and blurring his vision, making everything around him distorted.
His breathing became rapid and disordered. Gothe even fell to his knees in pain.
He clenched his hands into fists and dug his nails into his palms, hoping to relieve even a little bit of the pain, but to no avail.
In this irrelievable and indescribable torture, Gothe's only consciousness has already reflected what he is experiencing:
This is the second-level necromancy spell [Howling and Severe Pain].
Inflicts excruciating pain on the target's body.
But it won't cause any harm.
Just plain, unbearable pain.
Under normal circumstances, it is used as a control spell.
But now, it is being used as a torture tool to torture him.
In the world of mages, punishment will naturally not be common physical methods such as "whips" and "fire".
Spells are the most advanced instrument of torture.
It will not cause any wounds, but it can bring pain and torture that other torture instruments cannot do.
Gothe has never been to jail.
This is his first time in jail.
But even in the previous life, Gothe had not heard of the black prison, let alone the Principality of Xi'an where the order was far less than in the previous life.
So, Gaode understood everything.
This is "torture to extract confessions."
The pain lasted for tens of seconds before ending abruptly.
"Have you remembered, where did He Xi put the rune structure?" A hoarse voice with an indiscernible tone came from the figure at the door of the dungeon.
I think he spoke in a deliberately suppressed voice to prevent Gothe from recognizing his identity in the future.
".Mother" was soaked with sweat, as if Gothe had just been fished out of the water, her pale lips wriggled, and she said with difficulty.
"What mother did you say?" The figure frowned, thinking it was an address, and quickly asked: "I can't hear clearly."
"I said." Gao De bit his lips and used all his strength to say word by word: "I am willing to be your mother."
"Actually, I admire you for having the courage after such torture. Provoking me," the figure raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled condescendingly: "If you beg for mercy from me, you might feel better today."
"Just come," Gao De said slightly. I regained some strength and speaking was not so difficult.
"What a tough talk. I just stopped because I was afraid that you would faint from being over-stimulated."
"In that case, I will play with you slowly, hoping that your bones will As tough as your mouth," the figure joked.
"Come on." Gothe laughed.
[Continue to endure severe pain and torture, and your ability to withstand pain will increase by 6%].
After spending an afternoon at the bottom of the river, [Adaptive] only provided 0.6% cold resistance.
In just those tens of seconds of pain, Gaode's ability to withstand pain increased by a full 6%.
You can imagine how terrifying the pain caused by [howling in agony] is.
But similarly, the more terrifying the pain, the faster Gothe will adapt.
What doesn’t kill him will only make him stronger.
This is the power of [Adaptive].
The figure glanced at Gaode, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
The next moment, the anxious atmosphere filled the air again.
The familiar intense pain swept over me again.
Gothe's whole body was like a shrimp, twisting on the floor, his back arched into a ball, and he let out waves of dull hums.
The 6% increase in pain tolerance does not allow Gothe to ignore this pain.
But I can definitely feel that I feel much better than before.
And this number is accompanied by pain and is still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
6.1%6.2%6.3%
This time, [howling in severe pain] lasted for a full minute before stopping.
Because of that figure, I noticed that Gothe's humming was getting smaller and smaller, and he was afraid that Gothe's consciousness could not bear the excessive stimulation and would pass out directly.
He was going to play slowly with Gaode.
“That’s it?”
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the spell effect ended, Gothe had already spoken "provocatively" again.
He snorted coldly, did not talk nonsense to Gaude, and used [Howling in Severe Pain] again.
Gothe's just-stretched back arched again, twisting and squirming on the ground, as if he wanted to relieve the pain in this way.
This time, [howling in severe pain] lasted for nearly two minutes before ending.
After this time, Gaode did not speak again for the first time.
"It's nothing more than that." The figure sneered, thinking that he had already captured Gothe.
"That's it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gothe's weak voice sounded again in the quiet dungeon.
At this moment, the figure finally changed his expression.
[Howling in Severe Pain] can bring about torture that even the most tolerant Ninja Rock Elephant cannot endure for long, let alone a human being?
But the person in front of me can be so fearless. How strong and tenacious willpower does this have?
"I don't believe you can't be cured today." This time, it was the figure's turn to grit his teeth.
He said viciously.
As a perpetrator, he cannot see the victim's plea for mercy, which makes him feel particularly defeated.
The next moment, Gothe's suppressed groan sounded again in the dungeon.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.
The face of the figure hidden in the shadows was already full of disbelief.
He cast [Howling and Severe Pain] on Gothe again and again.
After casting spells for half an hour, he was slightly panting, but Gothe seemed to be getting more and more awake and in better and better condition.
At the beginning, Gaode was still in pain.
When he got to the back, he even stopped making a muffled sound and just lay hunched over on the ground.
He had never seen a person who could endure [howling in agony] for half an hour without fainting and refusing to give in. He had never heard of it before.
Is this a human being or a stone that feels no pain?
The pain that came from the body disappeared again because the spell casting ended.
Gothe climbed up from the floor tremblingly and grinned at the figure outside the dungeon.
"That's it?!"
This time, it's really not "hard talk", but "adaptation" completely.
[Continue to endure severe pain and torture, and your ability to withstand pain will increase by 67%].
At the beginning, [Adaptive] can increase Gaode's pain tolerance by 6% in just a few dozen seconds.
But this speed of improvement becomes slower the further you go.
Even just now, the [howling and severe pain] that lasted for three minutes only increased Gothe's ability to withstand pain by 1.2%.
The reason is also very simple.
He has gradually adapted to this pain.
Now, [Howling and Severe Pain] can still bring him pain, but for Gothe, it is nothing. At most, it can refresh his mind.
