For six days, Riku was confined to the little chamber. The guards torment him every day in the hopes of extracting some information from him, but they have gotten nothing.

The guards poured hot water on him, drowning him inside the container and even removing his nail, causing his skin to burn.

Please! Stop! I\'m pleading!

Please help me!

It was a harrowing experience. That no one else except that scene could possibly occur in real life.

He wishes to flee, but he was enslaved by the thick chains.

"Mnn..."

As he slowly opened his eyes, he was in excruciating pain all over his body. Every second of his life, he was in pain.

"What the hell is going on with me? What am I doing wrong?" He uttered it in a faint tone.

Click!

The door gradually opened, allowing two guards and the top guard to enter. This time, though, they brought a woman dressed in silver armor with a golden outline.

Her hair was blond, her complexion was white, and she had a lovely face. As the three treated him, it appeared that this woman was superior.

Arisu Hanz was her name, and she was the daughter of the village\'s ruler.

"Gordon, why did that man bring this cell in?" Arisu directly asked the chief guard, who was standing next to her.

Gordon knelt down and lowered his head, and the two guards followed suit. "Our guards discovered the man wandering around outside of our village. As a result, we concluded this man was one of our adversaries\' spies." He gave an explanation.

As Arisu approached Riku, she noticed the man\'s body was covered in bruises, stab wounds, and bathed in his own blood. Or, to put it another way, this man was stuck in a brick of death.

"You really got this far, Gordon?" Arisu was not pleased with her guard\'s treatment of the pity man. "Tell me, what is this man\'s crime?"

Gordon furrowed his brows slightly, thinking that if he caught the spy from the other country, this woman would be overjoyed. "I-I apologise for making a decision without first seeking your consent. But all I want is to keep our village safe from invasion." He was stuttering.

"Gordon, I get what you\'re trying to say, but take a look at him. To you, this individual appeared to be a spy? He doesn\'t even make it to the warrior level." Arisu confronted him, reaching into her pocket for something.

Arisu was correct, of course. Being a spy from another country was a difficult job since you had to put your life on the line for the mission. Furthermore, in this world, spies were strong enough to be able to protect themselves.

Gordon clenched his teeth in private "However, we must safeguard this village against any threats. I don\'t want to lose our village to the conflict because of a minor oversight." He raised his voice slightly, causing the two guards\' faces to become concerned.

"Calm down, Sir Gordon; you\'re speaking to our lady Arisu." One of the guards muttered something.

"My father\'s main goals in building this village were peace and a pleasant existence. Isn\'t it also true that you can question him without torturing him?" Arisu was staring at the guards, who were covered in bruises on their hands.

Riku felt fortunate at this time since someone had answered his prayers by protecting him from the guards, thanks to Arisu. "I-I have no idea what they are talking about."

Riku provided Gordon with an idea of how he was going to defend himself by spitting some words out of his mouth. "Lady Arisu, did you hear that? That individual is unable to communicate with us in common language."

Swish!

Arisu drew her tiny silver blade from about her belt. "You\'re not even paying attention, Gordon, and you have no right to injure someone!" She lost her cool and thrust her sword beneath Gordon\'s chin.

"Wait a minute, lady Arisu, I didn\'t mean to offend you." Gordon muttered, shivering, as he slowly backed away.

Arisu reclaimed her weapon. "If this kind of savagery occurs again, Gordon, I\'ll make sure you lose your job and be kicked out of the village. Take note of what I\'m saying."

She spits these words out and removed the seal from the transparent container containing a red liquid. "This will suffice." The red liquid was poured over the man\'s head by Arisu. "He\'ll be able to get back on his feet."

Skin burns, bruises, and open wounds vanished from the man\'s body all of a sudden. Arisu used healing potions that were in high demand in this village because they had to import them from their friend county first.

[HP:52/100]

Gordon and the two were shocked after seeing Arisu use the potion on the unknown man that could buy a decent house in this world.

"L-Lady Arisu, why you used to that man? It is such a waste-" He covered his mouth as he realised those words were inappropriate to say at this woman.

"Are you complaining, Gordon? If Papa knows about this, I\'m sure you are already on the death sentence. You should glance since I\'m still polite to you." She said with a serious tone.

He shook his head uncontrollably. "I have nothing to complain about, lady Arisu." Gordon answered, then questioned the two guards kneeling next to him. "Do you have any complaints, both of you?"

With a shake of their heads, the two men expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation. "We are respecting Lady Arisu\'s decision, sir Gordon." They both spoke up at the same time.

Arisu swung around and kneeled down to examine Riku\'s condition. \'This individual does not appear to be from this nation, based on his appearance. This is the first time I\'ve seen something like his face and clothes.\' She muttered to herself as she watched this man for a few minutes, until she noticed his sparkling black eyes.

To begin, Riku gradually opened up his eyes once again and saw the beautiful woman sitting in front of him.

"W-Who are you?" Riku said with a weak tone.

Arisu cluelessly barely tilted her head. \'What kind of language is that?\' She took a glance at her behind. "This is the language that you have mentioned, Gordon."

"Yes, Lady Arisu, no matter how I try to listen I can\'t understand anything from him."

"That\'s true, Lady Arisu, also based on his facial expression that man trying to say something to us. It\'s like, I\'m begging, I\'m not your opponent, just like that." One of the two guards said.

Arisu rubbed her chin, thinking what the best plan she could within this man. "Yeah, that\'s right, I think elder Cynthia could fix this problem." She stood up, then patted the dust on her knees. "Remove the chain."

"W-What? Remove the chain?" Gordon asked.

"Are you deaf, Gordon? Do I need to always repeat myself from you?" She said, then passed to the guards.

"No, Lady Arisu." Gordon stood up, immediately ordered the guards. "Remove the chain!"

It took a few minutes. Before the guards completely removed the heavy chains.

"Thank you-"

Riku tried to regain his footing, but he fell to the ground until the guard remembered something. This man didn\'t eat any kind of food or drink any water in the past six days, so it must be the main reason why this man passed out.

"Bring him to the room, and give me so food!"

...

After several hours had passed, Riku awakened inside the decent room made in brick. It was totally different from the luxury room that he had, but it was not the case. In his mind, he needed to leave this place as much as possible before the guards think again to torture him.

Inside the room, it had one bed sufficient for one person, one desk, and one room. In front of him was the door that he wasn\'t sure where it headed.

He looked at the window not too far away from him. He saw around was surrounded by green grasses and flowers.

"I can\'t jump here!"

He assumed that he was standing on the fifth floor. What about the [fly] skill? His body was still not recovered from the damage he received from the guards. So he was terrified that he passed out again, also it can be worsened the situation.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

He got alarmed after hearing someone was knocking on the door. So he went back to his bed and pretended that he was sleeping.

He felt multiple people enter the room as he heard numerous footsteps from them. He guessed it was four people.

"What should I do?"

And all of a sudden, he heard an old woman\'s voice even he didn\'t understand the words he could easily tell that voice came from the old woman.

"He\'s still sleeping." The old woman tugged the white blanket covering the man\'s face. "So it\'s true, lady Arisu, this man had a different face. What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to cast a spell at him." Arisu said with a honeyed tone.

"Which spell, lady Arisu, can you be more specific?" The old man responded, holding a wooden staff in her grasp.

"I want you to cast a spell that can help this man to communicate with us." Arisu said while pointing her index finger at Riku.

The old man stepped forward. "You\'re giving me an easy task, but your wish will be granted."

[Revoke!]

Magic spell?!

Really?!

What the f*ck!
