Chapter 20 Ikonatny Prison

Located in the southern part of the city of Egrem, Ikonatny Prison is the largest and only prison in the country, covering nearly 200 acres. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info For a small country of Egrem's size, it is really impractical to build a prison of this size. In fact, most of the cells in this three-story prison are empty. The Ikornatny prison was built in the early days of the founding of the Egrim state, and legend has it that the king at that time tortured all the people he caught in the prison without trial in order to suppress the opposition at that time.

A few years later, a strange fire burned the prison beyond recognition, and the king ordered someone to rebuild it, which took more than ten years. At first, everyone thought that the craftsmen were lazy, but then there were rumors that strange things were happening in the prison, and the brick wall that had been clearly built one day had inexplicably collapsed the next day. In this way, it was poured and built, and it was built and poured again, and it dragged on for more than ten years, and finally it was completed. Today's Ikonatney is still used as a prison, but it is completely devoid of its original grandeur. There are not many prisoners, and there are not many soldiers to guard them, and after a long time, the whole prison is even less popular, like a gloomy and dead dark castle.

Lucia was sent here, along with the other five wolf members. Because of the delay in the formalities, it was already dark when they arrived at the prison. Lucia, who was still in the prison car, looked up, and the prison looked to her like a big black giant with impregnable walls, baring its teeth and claws to kill her. A chilly autumn wind blew through her clothes, and she couldn't help but shiver.

The prison has three floors, two above ground and one underground. After entering the gate, there is an office hall, although it is now dilapidated, but the size of the structure can still be seen from the momentum of the year. A small gate on each side was supposed to be a place for the soldiers on guard to move and rest. In the middle was a large iron door, with three locks from top to bottom, which Lucia thought must be the population of the prison.

Sure enough, after the handover was completed. The three big locks were opened, and the iron door slowly opened, and it was pitch black inside, like a black hole with no end in sight, or a monster with its mouth open, waiting for people to throw themselves into the net. The chill climbed, and Lucia couldn't help but shiver again.

The other five prisoners walked in turn, and the warden assigned them to the third, the top floor. And Lucia's assignment really gave him a headache. The passage of the prison is narrow, and the prison cart that imprisons Lucia cannot pass, so she must walk in on her own, but getting out of the prison cart means that this super high magician is no longer subject to magic, and there is a good chance of escape. The deputy captain of the "Tower" Praetorian Guard who sent her was also a headache.

"Looks like the only way to do it is to send her to the basement." After a long time, the warden made this decision.

"But that place...... It's a bit of a wicked ......" the other guards looked at each other.

"What nonsense? You are also a soldier of Egrim, how can you trust those who have and don't! "The warden was very angry, and his voice was loud and intimidating.

The prison guards, who had been whispering just a moment ago, were now completely silent.

"Excuse me, the basement floor is ......" Whether you are curious or responsible, the vice captain thinks it is necessary to ask for clarification.

The warden did not hold back, and replied cheerfully: "There are three floors in the prison of Ikonatni, and the two floors above ground are where ordinary prisoners are kept. The basement level houses important prisoners. ”

"What kind of important prisoners?"

"Treason, treason, etc., and of course, magicians." There was a hint of pride in the warden's tone, "There's a room on the basement floor dedicated to the mage. ”

"Oh? What's the difference? ”

"You know that in the early days of the founding of the country, we also caught rebellious magicians, and most of the time they were killed on the spot. But there are one or two who need to be held temporarily, and this room is for them. The whole room is filled with all kinds of magic items, and no matter how cruel the magician is, he will become as docile as a kitten when he enters that room. ”

Hearing this, Lucia's heart was cold, which meant that she couldn't get out for the rest of her life, how could this be?

The vice-captain nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly remembered the prisoner cart Lucia was sitting in, and couldn't help frowning again. However, after hearing the warden's next words, he relented.

The warden smiled, "The entrance to the basement floor is somewhere else, but it's very spacious. ”

Torches were lit, and Lucia in the prisoner cart was escorted out of the main gate of the prison, and followed the path of the doorway, through a small forest, and around the back of the prison.

Lucia, who was in the prisoner's car, looked around, and in the forest she heard a certain sound, like the whisper of the wind, soft but not real. Just as they walked out of the forest, she turned her head and vaguely saw a silver-white figure in the depths of the forest, fleeting.

The prison cart finally stopped, at the back gate of the prison. Lucia and the other Praetorian Guards who had come to the prison for the first time gasped. By the light of the torches, they discovered that there were indeed two open doors, with the name of the prison written in silver on a black background, and the sign on the basement floor. There was nothing strange about this, but what surprised them the most was that the door was so big, that there were five or six people stacked so high, and three or four people with their hands stretched out so wide. Standing in front of such a door, it seems that he is so small, and he can't help but feel a chill running straight to his scalp.

"Well, I'm right, it's very spacious." The warden smiled.

"Oh......" everyone sighed.

"How do you open the door?" The vice-captain asked curiously, "I didn't see the keyhole." ”

Such a large door, even if there is a keyhole, it must be equipped with a huge key, and seeing that the prison director is empty-handed, including Lucia, all the outsiders are puzzled.

The warden calmly took out a small golden key from his pocket.

"Don't tell me it's going to get big later!" The vice-captain quipped.

"I admire your imagination......" said the warden as he held up the key and made a twisting motion in the air.

"Click!" With a loud bang, both gates opened inward at the same time, and due to the huge friction, the doors emitted a deafening roar.

Although the sound was frighteningly loud, no one plugged their ears, they didn't care! Everyone was still reeling from the shock they had been before. What happened in that moment? Why did the door open on its own, was the warden doing magic, or was it ...... A mechanism that the vice-captain has never seen before?
