Chapter 341 - 279: Village Defense Battle (15)
Zhao Chi had already confirmed it.
Although this Shirel was a high Level, in her current State, she was no match for Gu Qing.
Gu Qing’s Attributes were also 2 points higher than hers, and her Power could crush Shirel.
Besides, Zhao Chi now had absolute authority.
BANG!
The cell door slammed shut.
"You! Don’t play with fire! I am a High Elf, do you understand? A noble among High Elves!"
"’Play with fire?’" Gu Qing took out the thickest needle. "I’ll make you gush right now."
"Get away from me!"
Shirel spread her hands, as if about to use some kind of Spiritual Technique.
But not a single ripple of Spiritual Power appeared.
Gu Qing grabbed her hands, and a jet of Spider Silk shot out.
Her other hand was Spraying Silk at the same time.
In just a moment, Shirel was bound tightly.
"Damn you! How dare you lay a hand on a High Noble?"
Gu Qing chuckled. "Do you know why I didn’t gag you? Because I’m very curious to hear if the screams of a High Noble sound any different."
The needle in her hand glinted.
Shirel stared at the needle, a terrified look on her face.
When Han’Er and Gao Di were being tortured just now, they had been listening from the next cell.
Those screams were truly unforgettable.
Now, seeing Gu Qing take out the needle, even the proud Shirel felt a little afraid.
"I command you to stop! I command you, in my capacity as a Knight! If you... Ugh..."
PFFT!
She was still talking, but Gu Qing had already made her move.
Even for an Elf noble, their physical structure was pretty much the same as a Human female’s.
Gu Qing’s strike with the needle was just as potent.
Shirel’s Body doubled over.
The next second, her Body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Her long legs gave out, and she knelt on the ground.
At the same time, a scream echoed, filling the entire prison.
The Female Elves in the adjacent cells were so scared they trembled, not even daring to eat their food.
Shirel’s face was contorted in pain, looking utterly pitiful.
If it were a man, he would inevitably have softened.
But Gu Qing was a woman, and she only felt that it wasn’t enough.
Gu Qing didn’t pull out the needle.
Instead, she stabbed her again.
Once again, a scream rang out.
Shirel writhed on the ground, her voice cracking into a sob.
In truth, she hadn’t taken much Damage.
But it was extremely painful.
Gu Qing didn’t even think it was worth using a Healing Skill; flicking a few drops of blood was enough to heal her.
"I’m out of thick needles, so I’ll have to use the thin ones. Looks like I’ll need to prepare more thick needles in the future."
Gu Qing crouched down, preparing to deliver the third strike.
Shirel cried, "Stop, no more! Don’t stab me anymore!"
Tears dripped down.
Her elven dress was already wet.
A warm stream flowed from beneath her skirt.
It wasn’t uncommon to become incontinent from pain.
Shirel raised her head, shaking it at Gu Qing with tear-filled eyes.
"Stop stabbing me! The Maple Family will not let you get away with this!"
’So damn tough.’
’She’s in so much pain she’s wet herself, yet she’s still talking tough.’
Gu Qing said, "Looks like the thin needles won’t be enough either."
PFFT!
"AHHH———!!"
Say what you will, Shirel really could take a lot of punishment.
Previously, Gao Di couldn’t take it after two needles, and Han’Er broke down after just one.
Yet Shirel had endured a full five needles.
She finally begged for mercy.
"I’m sorry... *sob sob sob*, don’t stab me anymore, *sob sob sob*..."
Gu Qing said, "My Lord, there’s one left. Should I just use it?"
Before Zhao Chi could speak, Shirel cried out, "No, no, I’m begging you!"
He checked her State.
[Name]Shirel Merogia
[Obedience]2 Defiant
She was in this state, yet her Obedience Level had only increased by 1 point.
’It seems her noble pride is truly real.’
But it didn’t matter.
Since Shirel wasn’t a Hero but a Lord, there was no need to pay too much attention to her Obedience Level.
As long as she was willing to talk properly, that was enough.
Zhao Chi said, "It’s up to you. If you’re still angry, then go ahead and use the last one."
Although Gu Qing was angry, she didn’t use the final needle.
Instead, she pulled out all the needles from Shirel’s body, then flicked some blood plasma at her, healing her completely.
Shirel let out another scream.
They waited for her for a while.
But she didn’t stand up.
Instead, she kept her head down, her legs drawn up, looking like she wanted to die of shame and indignation.
Zhao Chi said, "Get up. What are you doing sitting in your own piss? I’ll get you a new set of clothes."
The anger on Shirel’s face vanished as quickly as it appeared.
She stood up silently.
Liquid dripped from her skirt.
Zhao Chi said, "I can restore your communication privileges so you can contact your family. You should know, Female Elves have a high market price. With you included, it should be worth at least 400-500 Gold Coins, right? I’m not a greedy person, I just don’t want my own interests to be harmed. That’s reasonable, isn’t it?"
If it were just any Elf, it wouldn’t be that much money.
But Shirel was a High Elf noble, so Zhao Chi quoted a higher price.
However, he wasn’t calculating it like a kidnapper demanding ransom.
After all, he wasn’t a kidnapper and had no intention of becoming one.
If Shirel’s attitude had been a little friendlier earlier, Zhao Chi would likely have agreed to release her first.
But her attitude was so atrocious that Zhao Chi couldn’t possibly just let her go.
Shirel remained silent.
Gu Qing repeated the question, "That’s reasonable, isn’t it?"
Shirel flinched, terrified.
"Yes, it’s... reasonable."
Zhao Chi said, "Have you thought it through? If you have, I’ll open your privileges and let you contact your family."
Shirel said, "Don’t notify my family... As long as I can give you items worth 500 Gold Coins, you’ll release us, right?"
"That’s right."
"Fine. You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you! Let’s sign a contract! When I give you the high-value items, you must release us!"
Zhao Chi sighed. "I won’t sign."
"You won’t sign?"
Shirel looked at him in disbelief.
Zhao Chi said, "Right now, you’re the one begging me. I’m the one giving you a chance. My patience is about to run out. Do you understand?"
