Reborn as the Lord of Another World

Chapter 4

"Please tell me again carefully what happened when the mining area collapsed."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 his questions and said whatever he asked.

The story is not that complicated. Anna’s father is a miner and was working in the mine when the collapse occurred. After getting the news, Anna immediately andOther family members of the miners entered the mine to rescue him. It is said that the Beipo Mining Area used to be the nest of underground monsters. There are many forked

roads in it, extending from all directions. Since the rescuers did not have unified command, they dispersed to search on their own after entering the cave. When Anna found her father,the only neighbors were Aunt Susan and Uncle Unk.

She found that her father had been crushed by a push truck full of ore and his leg was broken. He was unable to move, while a famous miner squatted beside him and searchedfor coins from his body. Seeing that his robbery was broken, the miner rushed up with a hoe and knocked Uncle Unke to the ground. Just as he was about to kill him, Anna killed him

first.The couple next door vowed not to tell anyone about her, and the three of them rescued Anna's father together. But before dawn the next day, Anna’s father went out with a cane

and reported to the patrol guards that his daughter was a witch."Why?" Roland couldn't help but turned around and asked.

Barov sighed, "Probably for the reward. If you discover and report a witch, you can get 25 gold medals. For a person who breaks his leg,Man, these 25 gold coins are equivalent to protection for the rest of your life. ” (gold, universal currency)

Roland was silent for a moment, "The other person was a strong and powerful adult man. How did you kill him?"At this moment, Anna smiled. Like waves on the lake, the flame tip of the torch swayed.

It's the magic power you call it."

"Shut up! Witch!" the warden shouted, but everyone could hear the trembling in his voice."Really? I want to see it." The fourth prince was unmoved.

"Your Highness, this is no joke!" The chief knight turned his head and said with a frown.Roland stepped out from behind the rider 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 has the Chain of Divine Punishment around her neck!" Barrow shouted to comfort everyone, as if to comfort himself, "No matter how powerful the devil is,It is impossible to break God’s blessing. "

Standing in front of the prison bars, Roland and Anna were only at arm's length, and he could clearly see each other's cheeks covered with dust and scars. Her childish facial featuresmeant that she was underage, but there was no hint of childishness in her expression. Otherwise, even life is hard to find - Roland has only seen this incongruous feeling on TV. It was adopted

by homeless orphans who suffered from poverty, hunger, cold and other sufferings.The appearance he showed during the visit. But they are not exactly the same. The wandering orphans always hunched their bodies and lowered their heads when facing the camera, but Anna did not.

Until now, she was still trying to stand upright, raising her gaze slightly, and looking calmly into the prince's eyes.She was not afraid of death, Roland realized, she was waiting for it.

"Is this your first time seeing a witch, my lord? Your curiosity may get you killed.""If it is really the power of the devil, you will suffer misfortune just by looking at it," Roland replied, "Then it should not be me who dies, 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. heI heard rapid breathing and prayers coming from behind, as well as the muffled sound of someone accidentally falling while retreating in a panic.

Roland's heartbeat gradually accelerated. He felt that he was at a wonderful dividing point. On one side was the world of common sense, which operated meticulously according to theplanned constants and laws. On the other side is an incredible world, full of mystery and unknowns. He has nowStanding at the gate of this new world.

Is what she hangs around her neck the chain of divine punishment? What a simple chain. A length of red-painted iron chain hangs a crystal clear pendant. IfIsn't it like cuffing the witch's hands tightly behind her back so that something like this can be destroyed by pulling it?

Roland turned around and glanced at everyone. While everyone was still praying in panic, he quickly put his hand into the cage, grabbed the pendant and pulled it with force. The pendant and the lock were connected.The buckle of the chain snapped with a sound - even Anna was stunned by this move.

"Come on," he whispered. Are you a liar, a chemist, or a real devil?If you were to start whipping out bottles and jars now and start making strong acids, I would be disappointed. he thought.

Then Roland heard a crackling sound, which was the sound of water expanding due to heat. White mist rose from the ground, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.He saw flames rising from the other side's feet, gently caressing the girl's bare legs, and then the ground where she stood burned. behind

The fire handles exploded at the same time, as if they had obtained pure oxygen, bursting out with a blinding light. The whole cell was like daylight for a moment, followed by everyone screamingin terror.

The witch stepped forward, the flames swimming with her steps. When she came to the prison, dozens of iron railings turned into pillars of fire.Roland had to step back, the hot air biting his skin, causing him unbearable pain. In just a few breaths, he felt as if he had returned to midsummer from late autumn. No, unlike the scorching

heat of summer, this high temperature purely caused by flames could not completely surround him. The side facing the flames was hit by waves of heat, while the side facing away from theflames was very cold. He even felt like he was breaking into a cold sweat.

ÿShe is not afraid of fire.Roland remembered the assistant's words. It wasn't until this moment that he deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

She is a flame, so how could she be afraid of herself?Soon, the iron railings turned from dark red to bright white and began to melt and deform. This meant that they had been heated to over 1,500 degrees Celsius. To do this without any

thermal insulation measures was beyond Roland's imagination. He, like the others, has stayed away from prison

The room is tightly attached to the farthest stone wall.

If you don’t do this, the high heat generated by the iron and steel can cause the clothes to burn even if there is no direct contact. For example, Anna’s prison uniform has already burned.Turned into ashes, the body was surrounded by raging flames.

I don’t know how long it lasted before the flames all faded away.There was only a small torch left on the wall burning quietly, as if nothing had happened. But sweaty clothes, hot air, and being burned

The prison bars, which look like devil's claws, tell everyone that this is not a dream.Except for Roland and the rider who were still standing, everyone else had collapsed on the ground. Among them, the warden was so frightened that he peed his pants.

The naked Anna now stood outside the cage, and the shackles that trapped her arms were no longer visible. She did not cover her body, her hands were naturalHanging casually on his side, his lake-blue eyes returned to their previous tranquility.

"I have satisfied your curiosity, my lord," she said. "Can you kill me now?""No," Roland stepped forward, wrapped his coat around her, and said in as gentle a language as possible, "Miss Anna, I want to hire you."
