Chapter 1056 (1/2)

In the dark dungeon, a diled fro The shadow flickered and swayed like a forked tree branch

The prisoner did not struggle, nor did she utter a yelp or beg for mercy She only produced an almost inaudible moan when the whip landed on her skin

But that was soon drowned out by the following lashes

”Crack!”

”Crack!”

The candlelight wavered and flickered as it played with the swaying shadow as itThe dull sound of a whipcrack cut through the gruesoeon

After around ten lashes, Earl Lorenzo said, ”Enough Take a break!”

”Yes, my lord” The executioner withdrew

Blood trickled down the female prisoner's back There were new and old whipmarks all over her body Apparently, this was not her first ti tortured Beads of sweat stood out froreat pain, but she forced herself not to cry out

”So, are you still not going to tell me where the Holy Book is?” The earl walked up to the wo her to look at him It was a pretty face, despite the constant torture the woh As a ht eyes made her even more attractive ”The church is over, Farrina Do you still want to plot against me? You should at least think about your companions if not about yourself”

”Those daely ”There are dom of Wolfheart Why did they have to pick Archduke Island? I ers that I want theroup of God's Punishment Warriors and could have picked anywhere to settle down as long as they stay as far away from Graycastle as possible Why did they atteuards to protect me as a precaution, they would have mounted ht, Lorenzo felt the side of his roups of God's Punishht that day, Farrina had nearly killed hiuard had blocked her strike He survived but had also lost his left ear

Lorenzo was actually more upset about the loss of the God's Punish ear Out of the 20 God's Punish now The others had either died during the battle or had lost liain

Yet he relied on those God's Punishment Warriors to secure his position on Archduke Island!

The nobles in the Kingdom of Wolfheart did not coe in his status from a bishop to a noble, but because of their fear of the God's Punishment Warriors If they knew he had only a few capable God's Punishment Warriors left, they would probably strip him of his earl title immediately

Lorenzo was so tempted to cut Farrina into pieces

But he could not do that

Not before he knehere the Holy Book was

”I'm not sure whether the church is over, but I know you are Earl Lorenzo, no, I should call you a traitor,” After a est mistake was that I underestimated your God's Punishht? Otherwise, you wouldn't need the Holy Book so badly You want to know the secret passing down a the popes, which is how to create the God's Punishment Army, so that you can keep your pitiable position”

”Smack!”

The earl boxed her ears

”You'd better tell h his teeth ”Tell me, where is the Holy Book?”
