90 A Devil's Methods

A day later the wolpertinger finally awoke.

"Alone at last," I said.

"I have a few questions I have to ask you."

'I have nothing to say,' said the wolpertinger.

"Looks like I have to take a few steps I'd hoped to avoid," I said.

'You're going to torture me?' said the wolpertinger.

"Yes," I said.

'Devil this is pointless, there's nothing I can tell you about the Bloodfang mine you don't already know!' said the wolpertinger.

"No, you value your secrets. That's why I know there's something about the Bloodfang mine you didn't even share with the halflings or Viscount Mira. But you will tell me wolpertinger," I said.

"I can wait, but the question is, can you?"

'Devil, what have you done? Free me from this binding,' it said.

"Quite," I said as I activated the <Fire Binding Chain>.

<Fire Binding Chain>

'Ahh,' it screamed.
