Chapter 1563: The Hostage
Goosebumps ran endlessly through Melody's body, and her heart seemed to be trying to jump out of her chest.
One moment, she was standing on the roof and watching the terrifying green flames, and the next, she was sitting on the marble floor of the castle...
If killing could lead to a deadly feud, then trying to destroy the territory under control could lead to the destruction of a whole family of rioters, and now Melody was obviously surrounded by witches whose homes were destroyed by these flames.
It would have been fine if the problem was just the houses, but this time the incident also affected their pride, and it also required the direct intervention of the witch queen, Maurice, and Melody had only ever been afraid of two people in her life, and one of them was Maurice.
The Witch Queen was a truly beautiful blonde, and although she always smiled, the way she did it made Melody wince with fear every time.
— You're really unique, bringing a stranger into your house to burn it down... A cold female voice rang out.
Melody turned around and saw a girl with short black hair. She had earrings in her ears, and her aura was as cold as ice.
— Melody murmured in surprise. In the past, she was a little girl who would tail her around every day.
— You should address her as Lady Kaya, " one of the witches said, and kicked Melody in the stomach.
It immediately flew off to the side.
— Show some respect, white witch, " the other witch said, grabbing her by the hair and throwing her back.
*Knock-knock…*
The metal hit the marble lightly.
Kaya walked over to Melody, bent down, and sat cross-legged on her back.
— It was so long ago... but now is not the time to indulge in nostalgia. Tell me how many accomplices you have?
Due to Kaya sitting on Melody's back, the other witches couldn't beat her anymore, so they could only surround her in anger.
— Accomplices, " Melody muttered, and laughed miserably.
— Are you going to sacrifice yourself for your witch hunter lover? If you were always so loyal, you wouldn't be in this situation right now, " Kaya said, snorting and grabbing Melody's neck with three fingers.
— Melody could barely contain her laughter, causing the witches around her to be a little embarrassed.
— After saying that, Melody looked around at everyone present and said with a slight disdain — " You just released a captive, why are you all so displeased?
— A prisoner? Kaya asked and leaned closer to Melody, their faces so close together that they could feel each other's breath now. — So you're not the witch hunter's accomplice?
— Don't believe this one...
— Shut up! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!" Kai snapped and looked at the witch who dared to interrupt her. She really wasn't joking, in fact, she would have killed her right away if the witch queen wasn't present.
The witch immediately turned her head away. Although she was displeased, she didn't dare provoke Kaya. In Siwan, if the witch queen wasn't taken into account, Kaya had the highest status.
— Did you just say you were a prisoner?" Kaya asked in a calm tone and slightly squeezed the fingers that were holding Melody's neck.
— Yes, I am a prisoner. A prisoner with a bomb in her body.
All the witches immediately took a few steps back.
Kaya scanned Melody's face, apparently trying to determine if this was true or false.
— I was brought to Sivani only because I know the city. As for how many witch hunters have come here, I don't have the faintest idea. I was taken blindfolded from the central plains to the mountains. The only person I've come in contact with has been a man in his twenties, he's a witch hunter, and he's a real ... devil... Melody's eyes filled with tears, but at the same time, her pupils suddenly widened as Kaya reached under her clothes.
— You're lying.
— … — Melody's cheeks twitched and her expression became very unnatural.
She had forgotten one very important thing.
— Queen, give this traitor to me. I promise she'll tell me everything within two hours, " Kaya said, and looked at the witch queen, who had remained silent the entire time.
— How can you be so rude to your family? Maurice asked, and waved her hand at Kaya to let Melody go.
Kaya slowly got up from her back. Although she didn't want to get up, she simply had no other choice.
Melody felt bitter in her heart. Although it was very dangerous to cooperate with Su Xiao, he at least treated her with respect, but she didn't think that she would somehow fall into the hands of other witches at all.
— Where is she?
Melody felt disappointed when she heard this simple question from Maurice.
— I hid it in — " Melody's voice was getting fainter and fainter. Of course, she couldn't say that she had lost Maurice's family heirloom, because that would lead to one very bad outcome.
— Lost it, right? In that case, you're useless.
A moment ago, she had called her part of the family, but now she had given up on her, giving everyone a sign that they needed to get rid of her.
— Queen, I suggest we use her as a hostage. She definitely has a relationship with this witch hunter who started this fire. According to her own words, she came here with this hunter. This is probably not a lie. Since they came here from the central plains and this hunter didn't do anything to her, their relationship is clearly not normal. I'm more inclined to think they're partners, " Kaya said, and stepped forward.
In fact, everyone could see that she was trying to protect Melody from the very beginning to this performance.
— That's a good suggestion, " said Maurice, with the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
Melody laughed ruefully at that.
She was doomed.
*BOOM!*
The entire castle suddenly shook.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
The castle apparently began to be bombed.
Maurice's body shone with a golden light and large energy lines immediately connected her body to the entire castle.
After almost a minute of bombardment, the castle finally stopped shaking. A large number of valuable items were broken into pieces, and the outer walls of the castle were covered with cracks.
A kilometer away from the castle, Su Xiao pulled the bolt of a huge sniper rifle. This lock was surprisingly strong. Not only was he able to withstand the flames of Hades, but he was also able to endure a dozen shots from the Duke of Nirvana.
He had already confirmed that all the witches were indeed gathered in this castle. If he clears it, Sivani will be freed from the witches.
As Su Xiao was reloading the Duke of Nirvana, Bubtney appeared out of nowhere behind him.
— Woof, woof-woof~.
— Melody was captured? And she was taken hostage? Su Xiao asked in surprise. He really didn't expect the witches to take her hostage. "Then you don't have to go back there," he said, and removed the Duke of Nirvana.
The flames of Hades began to spread to the mountains. After a while, it will completely engulf them, and as for the coastal zone, judging by the rate of spread, very soon it will be burned to the ground.
As for the city itself, more than 95% of the city's buildings have already been completely destroyed.
