A day later, twelve prisoners were escorted to Adamantite Prison by more than two dozen Ocean Church warriors, and Darko was among them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers of the Church of the Sea were only responsible for escorting and did not restrict the communication of the prisoners, and gradually the prisoners began to talk to each other. There are always all sorts of subtle connections between the street hooligans, and they quickly become acquainted. Darko listened to the conversation of several prisoners next to him, and learned that they had also violated the canons of the Ocean Church and had been locked up in a cell in Cook City for a few days, and they were only sent to prison together today.

At the end of the walk was a dejected-looking man, who said lazily, "Anyway, it's mining in prison, it's mining outside, and it's the same life everywhere, I don't care." ”

"Are you mining in prison the same as you are outside? Hey, let me tell you, the prices inside are high, you work hard to dig for a day, you can only change three meals a day, and you want to live well in it? Haha, don't dream. "It was a big man with a black face who said this.

Another tall and thin man said, "Anyway, Lao Tzu will go out after six months, and then he will be a good man again." ”

"Only six months?" said the old man with a scar on his neck, "It was your luck that you happened to commit a crime on the land of the Ocean Church, and the sentence was so light as a few months." If you commit a crime in the diocese of the Church of Flames, no matter how small the crime is, it will be more than ten years, and it is a blessing not to be put to death. ”

A young man in a turban interjected, "Well, that's right, I've been in this Adamantite Prison before. There are also prisoners from other churches in it, and if they are dull-eyed and lifeless, they are the long-term criminals sent in by the Flame Church, the kind that can't get out for half a lifetime. ”

At this time, Darko interjected and asked the black-faced man, "Just now you said that you can only get three meals a day after digging for a day, isn't this supposed to be the case in prison?

"Hey, little ghost, you don't understand this, do you?" the black-faced man, who had apparently been in prison once, proudly recounted his experience inside. Several other inmates were apparently recidivists, and from time to time they chimed in and told the story of what was going on inside the prison. Through these people's descriptions, Darko learned a rough idea of what was going on in the Adamantite Prison.

The Adamantite Prison is a large prison under the control of the four churches of Fire, Sea, Life, and Sky, and is the size of a medium-sized town. However, the sentences imposed by the prisoners are based on the sentences of the major churches, and the prison is only responsible for the custody. Because it is managed by the four major churches at the same time, the Adamantite Prison does not have an obvious brand of any church.

The fundamental reason is that too many coolies have been transported in the past, and the number of administrators here is seriously insufficient after the Demon Revolution, so the current situation has been formed in which several churches jointly govern a prison. The canons of the major churches would compromise with each other and agree on norms to restrain the prisoners, a situation that would have been inconceivable in the Amecian plane.

The most basic rules to be followed in prisons were the most basic trading principles, and prisoners who were serving their sentences worked in mining and traded gold ore as currency could buy almost everything. In addition to food, most of the other items in the prison are also sold, all kinds of tobacco, drugs, and even prostitutes can be traded, but the price is about ten times more expensive than the outside world.

As the sun approached the horizon, Darko and his party finally arrived at the Adamantite Prison, and standing in front of the prison's two-story wall, Darko couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The entire wall was made up of huge stones one meter square, and it was by no means easily shaken by the power of one or two high-level samurai or high-level magicians. It is generally believed that the strongest wall in the world is a wall created from the Wall of Forbidden Magical Sighs, which is made of a single block of rock, with no gaps and no weak points. Forbidden spell-level magic is impossible to exist in the Mercury plane, where the power is capped at level four, and a wall like the Adamantite Prison is strong enough for high-level professionals.

The Adamantite Prison is characterized by its only one wall, and the other three sides are steep rock walls, like a naturally formed towering wall. The entire Caroli Mountains are known for their steepness, with many hollow valleys to the north, the largest of which is the valley where the Adamantite Prison is located. But the most famous of these valleys is the Valley of the Poison Mist, as it is one of the three great Jedi, along with the Wailing Desert and the Jungle Labyrinth. The location of the Poison Mist Valley was not too far from the Adamantite Prison, less than ten kilometers away.

The Adamantite Prison, as the name suggests, is home to a vein of Adamantite Gold. It was originally a barren mountain range, so barren that not even trees grew. It wasn't until the discovery of a vein of adamantite gold that a large number of people poured into the area. The discovery of resources was accompanied by war, and the area where the veins were all over was lively.

Adamantite is a rare magical metal that is extremely hard and has a strong affinity for magic. Very low-yielding, usually with only a single piece of pure gold in the raw ore of tens of tons of gold mines, with a rarity similar to that of Mithril. This extremely hard metal can improve the quality of weapons or armor, and armor forged from adamantite gold provides damage reduction to the wearer. More importantly, it has a demonic channeling ability, so that weak mages will not affect spellcasting as much as normal metal armor when wearing this armor. It is precisely because Adamantite is so expensive that the discovery of Adamantite veins is even more valuable.

It is called a vein of pure gold because it is not an ordinary gold mine, but a gold mine that contains a higher than normal proportion of pure gold. The proportion of pure gold in it is three times higher than that of normal gold mines, and this three-fold proportion of benefits adds enough impetus to the scramble of all parties.

The discovery of the veins of pure gold brought wealth to the land, but also bloodshed and fighting. The Caroli Mountains, where this vein of adamantite gold is located, are extremely deep and wide, spanning the sphere of influence of the four major churches of fire, sea, sky, and life, but the major churches that came to the Mercury plane enclosure at the earliest time were mainly occupied by the mines, and did not draw detailed boundaries for places without resources, and disputes arose.

After the discovery of the Adamantite Vein, the four major churches all became red-eyed, swore their ownership of the vein, and began to send people to mine it. In this way, in the context of looting resources, one human killing after another has been staged here for more than ten years. It was not until the end that the four major churches determined the approximate boundaries and occupied a piece of land for mining. The most central area of the Adamantite Vein was the one with the highest reserves, and the four major churches tacitly did not mine it first in order to prevent themselves from becoming the target of public criticism, so the central area was empty.

More than ten years of war continued, making the order of this place extremely poor, and the focus of the four major churches was on war, and the management of the mining area was extremely chaotic. A large number of poaching and looting were frequent, and there were often self-thefts in the mines under the jurisdiction of the Church, so a large number of new criminals were created in the large prison of Mercury, and the establishment of prisons became imperative.

This is a place where many forces are transferred, and because there are so many disputes, no one can control it alone. Eventually, the prison was built out of the common needs of the four major churches, and the location was chosen in a huge valley with a narrow entrance and a wide interior in the center of the vein. A 100-meter-long wall was built at the mouth of the valley to isolate the valley into an enclosed space, and an area of nearly 1,000 square meters and six mines in the valley belonged to the prison, and the ore produced in the prison was divided equally among the four churches.

Darko was successfully sent to this prison after attacking the Ocean Church's water source magic array, but he didn't expect it to be such a well-guarded prison in advance. However, the tighter the defense, the more in line with Darko's mind, because the defense of this prison will become his own defense, and if vitb12 wants to kill him, he must overcome the prison defense.

While Dacko and eleven other prisoners were waiting for the handover at the gate of the Adamantite Prison, they noticed a group of people coming from the other direction, and the carriage was loaded with a large number of goods, apparently all of them were merchants who supplied the daily transactions of the prison.

Two jailers walked out of the gate of the prison, and they quickly completed the handover with the escorts. One of the two jailers was covered in chest hair and was stocky, resembling a cube. The other jailer was a tall, obscene-looking man with a leather whip in his hand, which made a snapping sound from time to time. At the signal of the two jailers, Darko and the other twelve people changed into heavier shackles and shuffled towards the small door on the side.

In order to facilitate long-term walking, the shackles they wore on the road before were relatively light, but now the shackles are completely jet-black, obviously made of the heaviest black iron, and Daktronics estimates that the weight of this pair of shackles is twenty catties. This weight is designed to limit high-level samurai, but such a standard can be a pain for other ordinary people and magicians like Darko.

The gate of the prison was used for horse-drawn carriages, and the pedestrian passage was a small gate next to the gate. The prisoners walked through the small door, and Darko had just put on his shackles, and for a moment he couldn't straighten his waist, and he was bent down and looked down at the ground the whole time. When he was about to enter the small door, he suddenly found a mysterious inscription on the shackles, which circled the shackles, and Darko vaguely felt a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Darko paused for a moment, and immediately the team behind him also came to a standstill, and the tall and thin jailer with a lewd face immediately whipped over, leaving a bloody mark on Darko's face, "Look at what!

"Ahh

The jailer watched the prisoner run away, but he crossed his arms and a sneer appeared on his face. With a whoosh, a long arrow with a metallic color shot out from the top of the wall, and the shackled prisoner naturally couldn't dodge, and was directly shot through by an arrow and nailed to the ground. The arrow hit him in the back of the back, apparently piercing the liver, and if he hadn't been rescued, he would have died of massive bleeding within ten minutes. But the two jailers on the side were watching his screams with interest, apparently not intending to help.

The man hadn't said a word along the way, so Darko wasn't familiar with him, and he didn't know why. Even so, a wave of sadness rose in Darko's heart, and he secretly sighed that this person was unlucky. But it immediately occurred to Darko that the magic archers on the wall obviously had strong archery skills, how could they shoot off against such a person with bound limbs? Why didn't he kill him with an arrow? Could it be that the magic archer deliberately didn't shoot the vital point, and wanted to torture him to death? Linked to the smug expressions of the two jailers beside him, Darko became more and more sure of his hypothesis, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked into the humanoid passage.

The passage of the prison is divided into two gates, A and B, which are controlled by alchemy machinery, and one door must be closed before the other can be opened. The passage in the center of the AB gate is densely covered with various alchemy crossbow arrows, and there are small round holes that seem to be exhaust holes, which seem to have the function of releasing poisonous gas. If a prisoner wants to break through the door, this passage is an insurmountable problem.

In the passage, two more jailers searched Dacko and the others in turn to ensure that no contraband was brought into the prison. Darko calmly accepted the body search, and sneered in his heart, although the steps of the Adamantite Prison are strict and perfect, but they are based on the detention of ordinary people. Someone like Darko who has a space ring is precisely in the blind spot of their thinking, and they naturally can't imagine that Darko will swallow the ring in their stomachs.

After passing through this numbing passage, Darko and his party entered the inside of the prison. As soon as he entered the prison, Darko had the illusion of returning to the black market in Mano, which was full of stalls selling all kinds of different items. Unlike the town of Mano, most of the food sold here is food. Next to it is a row of houses, where a group of people are unloading goods from horse-drawn carts and carrying them into warehouses and stalls. These were the same merchants who had entered through the doorway of the road, and in connection with the news they had heard on the road, Dacko knew that the free trade was indeed going on in an orderly manner inside the prison.

Looking beyond the free market, you can see the end of the valley in the distance, Dakko estimated the distance with his eyesight to be about five hundred meters, but he didn't expect this Adamantite Prison to be so deep that the area alone is comparable to that of an ordinary town. At the end of the valley, a neat line of people was lined up, numbering about twenty or so. Dacko was very strange, did the new prisoner still need to practice the queue? Looking at the past from afar, Dacko was shocked, he had already seen that the queue was not a person, but a humanoid alchemy puppet with a blue-gray appearance!

The alchemy puppet is essentially an alchemy machine, but it is different from ordinary alchemy machinery in terms of precision and fragility, and it is a powerful weapon. Through the magic array in the body, the alchemy puppet can receive the guidance of the puppeteer's mental power, and rely on the flexible alchemy joint structure to use various moves, it can be said that the alchemy puppet is one of the most powerful war weapons that integrates various auxiliaries, and it is also the embodiment of the highest achievement of alchemy.

In order for the inscription in the alchemy puppet's body to receive spiritual power fluctuations, the casting of its body must be involved in a large proportion of magical metal, even with the alchemist's wealth, there is no way to cast a large number of alchemy puppets. However, as a Adamantite Prison that produces Adamantite Minerals, materials are not a problem, and even then Darko is shocked by the Adamantite Prison's wealth.

Darko remembered that when he fought against the Light Unicorn with Phyllis, the alchemy crocodile puppet that Phyllis took out, although he failed to bite off the sharp horns of the Light Unicorn at that time, he easily bit off its hind legs, which shows its strength. An ordinary beast-type alchemy puppet is still so powerful, so what about the humanoid alchemy puppet in this prison?

"Welcome to the Adamantite Prison, young people! First of all, remember that this central area is the free market, where you trade gold mines for food to survive. To the west is the prison quarter, which is your kennel. To the east is the processing area, don't run over there for me if it's okay!"

Darko looked and saw that the two jailers who had brought them in were gone, and it was not the jailer who explained the rules to Dacko's new inmates, but a prisoner who was also in shackles, and he had only one eye, which was full of fierceness. Behind him stood six prisoners, all of whom were apparently veterans who had been in prison for a long time.

Darko looked around as the one-eyed old prisoner explained, and found that the rest of the prison was also very spacious. On the west side of the market are neat rows of houses, the doors are made of arm-thick iron bars, and the windows are all sealed with iron bars. On the east side were a jumble of houses built in no order, with roofs covered with large and small chimneys, and the scorching currents above them distorted the scene into an illusion.

The one-eyed old criminal's eyes shone like a guinea pig, and explained how to obey the rules for Dakko and the new criminals in a condescending tone, "Chicks, be honest with me when you come in, no matter what you have done outside, you are a groundhog when you get here, as long as you mine for me! As long as you abide by the rules I set, you will find that it is actually quite comfortable to be imprisoned here." ”

None of the people who came in with Darko were of good nature, and in front of the crowd a tall, thin man shouted in disbelief, "What are you? You are worthy of teaching me, and you don't look at what virtue you have grown...... Ugh!"

Before the tall and thin man could finish speaking, he suddenly squatted deeply on the ground with his stomach in his hands, bent over like a shrimp. The black-faced man beside him shook his hand and spat on him with disdain, "What are you? ”

The one-eyed man named Barr glanced at the black-faced man, ignored him, and continued to talk about the rules that he had not finished talking about. Darko had experienced the battle with VITB12, and his vision was extremely high, and he was interested in listening to the old criminal's teachings. When he had nothing to do, he began to meditate on the inscription on the shackles, but the inscription on it was too small, and it was a composite form of formation, and he never came up with a clue.

The new inmates were then brought into the cells, which were divided into hundreds of groups with twelve beds each. At bedtime, the group's iron doors were locked, and after a long day of tossing, the new inmates were also physically and mentally exhausted, and soon snoring.

Darko lay down on his bed and gradually fell into meditation.
