Release that Witch - Chapter 4

[Chapter 4 Flame]

“What happened when the mining area collapsed, please explain it carefully.”

Anna nodded and began to narrate.

Roland was a little surprised.

He originally thought that the other party would be silent, complain, or curse, but she just responded to her questions and said whatever she asked.

The story is not very complicated. Anna’s father was a miner and was working in the mine when the landslide occurred.

Anna, who got the news, immediately went into the mine with other family members of the miners to rescue them.

It is said that the north slope mining area used to be the lair of underground monsters, and there are many forks in it, extending in all directions.

Since the rescuers did not have a unified command, they scattered after entering the hole to search on their own.

When Anna found her father, there were only Aunt Susan and Uncle Onk from the neighbors.

She found that her father was crushed by a cart full of ore and could not move, while a miner squatted beside him and searched for the coins on his body.

Seeing that his robbery was broken, the miner rushed up with a hoe and knocked Uncle Anke to the ground. Just as he was about to kill him, Anna killed him first.

The couple next door vowed not to tell about her, and the three rescued Anna’s father together.

But before dawn the next day, Anna’s father went out on crutches and reported to the patrol guards that his daughter was a witch.

“Why?” Roland couldn’t help turning his head and asking when he heard this.

Barov sighed, “Probably for the bounty. Those who discover and report witches can get 25 gold dragons. For a person who breaks his leg, these 25 gold dragons are equivalent to the guarantee for the rest of his life.”

Roland was silent for a moment, “The other party is a strong and powerful adult man, how did you kill him?”

Just then, Anna smiled.

Like waves on the surface of the lake, the flame tip of the torch shook.

“It’s the power of the devil you said.”

“Shut up! Demon girl!” The warden shouted, but everyone could hear the trill in his throat.

“Really? I want to see it.” The fourth prince was unmoved.

“Your Highness, this is not a joke!” The chief knight turned his head and said with a frown.

Roland walked out from behind the knight and walked towards the cage step by step, “If you are scared, you can leave first, I didn’t ask you to stay here.”

“Don’t panic, she still wears the God’s Retribution Chain around her neck!” Baro Gaosheng comforted everyone, and seemed to comfort himself, “No matter how powerful the devil is, it is impossible to break God’s protection.”

Roland and Anna, standing in front of the prison railing, were only an arm’s length away, and he could clearly see the other’s face covered with dust and scars.

The immature facial features mean that she is not yet an adult, but her expression does not capture a trace of childishness.

Not only that, even anger was hard to find – Roland had only seen this incongruous feeling on TV.

That is the appearance of a homeless orphan suffering from poverty, hunger, cold and other sufferings in an interview.

But it’s not exactly the same. When facing the camera, homeless orphans always hunched over and lowered their heads, but Anna didn’t.

Until now, she is still trying to stand upright, her eyes are slightly raised, and she looks directly into the prince’s eyes calmly.

She wasn’t afraid of death, Roland realized, she was waiting for death.

“Is this the first time you’ve seen a witch, my lord? Your curiosity might kill you.”

“If it is really the power of the devil, you will encounter misfortune at a glance,” Roland replied, “Then it should not be me who died, but your father.”

The flames in the cage suddenly dimmed, this time it was definitely not an illusion, the flames seemed to be suppressed by something, and soon there was only a small cluster left.

He heard rapid breathing and prayers behind him, as well as the muffled sound of someone accidentally falling when retreating in a panic.

Roland’s heartbeat gradually accelerated. He felt that he was at a wonderful demarcation point. On one side was the world of common sense, which was operating meticulously according to the planned constants and laws.

On the other side is an incredible world full of mysteries and unknowns.

He is now standing in front of the gate of this new world.

Is it the God’s Chain of Retaliation that hangs around her neck?

What a crude chain, a piece of red-painted iron chain hangs a crystal-clear pendant, if the witch’s hands are not firmly handcuffed behind her back, this kind of thing can be destroyed with a single pull, right?

Roland glanced back at the crowd, and while everyone was still praying in a panic, he quickly reached into the cage, grabbed the pendant and pulled it hard, the clasp between the pendant and the chain snapped—even Anna was stunned by this move.

“Come on,” he whispered.

Are you a liar, a chemist, or a real witch?

If you pull out your bottles and cans now and start mixing strong acids, I’ll be disappointed.

he thought.

Then Roland heard a crackling sound, which was the sound of water vapor being heated and expanding – white mist rose from the ground, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

He saw flames rising from under the opponent’s feet, gently caressing the girl’s bare calf, and then the ground she was standing on burned.

The torches behind him exploded at the same time, bursting out with dazzling light as if they had obtained pure oxygen.

The entire cell was like daylight for a moment, followed by screams of horror from everyone.

The witch stepped forward, and the flames followed her steps. When she came to the edge of the prison, dozens of iron railings turned into pillars of fire.

Roland had to step back, the scorching air biting his skin, causing him unbearable pain.

In just a few breaths, he seemed to have returned from late autumn to midsummer. No, unlike the scorching heat of summer, this high temperature purely generated by flames could not surround him in all directions.

The side facing the flames is hot, while the side facing away is chilly.

He even felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

——She is not afraid of flames.

Roland remembered the words of the assistant minister.

It was only at this moment that he deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

She is a flame herself, so how could she be afraid of herself?

Soon, the iron railing changed from dark red to bright yellow, and began to melt and deform.

This means that they have been heated to more than 1500 degrees, and this step has been achieved without any heat insulation measures, which is far beyond Roland’s imagination.

Like the others, he had already moved away from the cell, clinging tightly to the farthest stone wall.

If this is not done, the high heat generated by the molten iron can set the clothes on fire even without direct contact—for example, Anna, her prison uniform has long been reduced to ashes, and her body is surrounded by raging flames.

I don’t know how long it lasted before the flames all faded away.

There was only a small section of torch on the wall burning quietly, as if nothing had happened.

But the sweaty clothes, the scorching air, and the prison railings that were burned like devil’s minions all told everyone that this was not a dream.

Except for Roland and the knight who were still standing, everyone else had collapsed on the ground, and the warden even peed his pants in fright.

Anna, who was naked, was standing outside the cage at this moment, and the shackles that bound her arms were gone.

She didn’t cover her body, her hands were naturally hanging by her sides, and her lake-blue eyes regained their previous tranquility.

“I have satisfied your curiosity, my lord,” she said, “may I be killed now?”

“No,” Roland stepped forward, wrapped his coat around her, and said in as gentle a tone as possible, “Miss Anna, I want to hire you.”
