Chapter 8: Oddssen’s Abnormality

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next morning, Peter got up early.

Apart from patrolling every day, he also had an important task, which was to deliver food to the prisoners.

In this world, most ordinary people ate very simple food.

For example, when Peter was at home, he could only eat black bread made of wheat bran.

The black bread was coarse, hard, and bitter. Peter had no doubt that it could even be used as a weapon.

Stewed potatoes and carrots were considered luxury goods. On average, they could only eat a small piece of meat a week.

After coming here, because the kingdom distributed resources, the wizards’ food became more abundant and delicious.

For example, the staple bread was soft and tasty, and the vegetable soup was also good. In addition, each meal included a piece of beef or mutton.

In contrast, the food for the prisoners was not as good.

They only received a piece of black bread mixed with wood chips and a bowl of vegetable soup.

Peter distributed the food one by one and soon arrived at the cell where Welch was held.

However, he had no intention of staying here with Welch.

Because as a newcomer, Welch couldn’t receive any food.

The prisoners here would be starved for three days as a punishment. Even wizards would be completely exhausted after three days without food.

Previously, Odssen was so thirsty during this period that he asked Peter for water.

But compared to Odssen, Welch was in much better condition.

As Peter passed by his cell, he glanced inside and saw Welch sitting silently without moving.

His clothes were clean and tidy, as if he was a guest here.

If Peter hadn’t seen the twisted things Welch did last night, he would have thought this Mr. Welch was a polite gentleman.

Twisted and gentle, two identities combined in one person.

It was truly fascinating!

However, at that moment, Welch and Peter locked eyes!

This gave Peter a feeling of being electrified.

Welch smiled, and that smile looked somewhat eerie. He spoke, “You are a promising student of magic, but it’s a pity that you can only do odd jobs here as the lowliest apprentice wizard. What a waste!”

Peter was taken aback and frowned slightly as he looked at Welch.

“Especially with forbidden black magic beyond the kingdom’s jurisdiction, you would be even freer and achieve greater success!”

Welch continued to speak.

Peter didn’t want to have any contact with this dangerous and twisted individual, so he simply ignored Welch’s words.

However, he soon discovered a problem.

He realized that Welch’s words seemed to have the power to bewitch. As each syllable entered his ears, Peter felt a resonance in his heart.

He suddenly felt that Welch’s words made sense!

No!

This was temptation!

Peter suddenly realized.

He realized that he had almost been influenced by Welch’s words just now.

This person was truly terrifying. Merely speaking was enough to affect others and generate negative thoughts.

It took a great effort for Peter to resist it!

He thought that the next time he came here, he should wear earplugs and absolutely not listen to Welch’s words!

But he wasn’t sure if Welch’s words would penetrate the earplugs and directly enter his mind.

“Forget it!”

“Let’s do it anyway!” Peter thought.

After delivering the meals, Peter packed up his things and saw Colot.

“The Inspector General wants you to come.”

Colot said.

“Okay.”

Peter didn’t dare to slack off.

Since it was an order from the Inspector General, he should hurry up and go.

Entering the Inspector General’s office, Peter immediately asked, “Inspector General, do you want me to do anything?”

“Take Oddssen to the interrogation room!” Alfred said.

“Oddssen? Alright!” Peter quickly nodded.

These days had been really busy!

However, Peter was also very curious.

During this period, the Inspector General interrogated Oddssen every day, using various cruel punishments each time.

Even though Peter was just observing from the side, he felt a deep sense of fear, as if those punishments were being used on him.

But Oddssen remained stubborn and didn’t say a word, which was quite unexpected.

Over time, Peter developed a certain level of admiration for Oddssen.

Of course, it didn’t mean he had any positive feelings toward Oddssen.

Because he knew Oddssen was a complete pervert!

He had killed so many people and deserved a thousand deaths!

Peter simply thought it was impressive that Oddssen could endure for such a long time!

And the Inspector General and the others were truly formidable.

If they couldn’t get any information from Oddssen, did they plan to continue like this indefinitely? Testing each other’s endurance?

Thinking about this, Peter couldn’t help but ask curiously, “If we can’t extract any information, do we just keep going like this?”

As soon as Peter asked the question, he felt that he had made a mistake.

No matter what, he shouldn’t have asked such a question.

This kind of thing was not something someone of his position should know!

But then he realized that he might have been overthinking.

Because Alfred didn’t show any anger, instead giving a calm response, “We’ll try a different approach this time. Go and bring him.”

“Yes!”

Peter didn’t say much.

He noticed a mysterious smile on the Inspector General’s face.

Clearly, he was hiding something, but he had no intention of telling Peter at the moment.

Peter knew.

He had no right to inquire about those matters.

Now, the only thing he could do was to bring Oddssen, nothing more.

He turned and left, heading to the first underground floor.

When Peter arrived at Oddssen’s cell, he noticed that Oddssen seemed very anxious.

“Oddssen, it’s time to go to the interrogation room.”

Today, Peter took the initiative to speak to Oddssen.

After saying that, he opened the cell door and led Oddssen out.

But Peter quickly noticed something. Oddssen appeared very nervous, even walking unsteadily.

“Do me a favor, and I’ll give you something good!”

Suddenly, Oddssen seemed to have made a decision.

He lifted his head and said to Peter.

This surprised Peter greatly!

And Oddssen seemed resolute, giving the impression that he wasn’t lying but genuinely had something to ask of Peter.
