The back door of the Ikonatny prison had always been quiet and desolate, and no one was interested in it, but tonight, the lights were bright, and a dozen soldiers opened their mouths wide, and they could not forget the scene just now, the warden actually opened this strange door in such a way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one knows what happened at that moment, except Lucia. The moment she saw the golden key raised, countless tiny long-eared elves flapped their wings and gathered in front of the key, where a small purple ring appeared, and if Lucia guessed correctly, it was the legendary keyhole. I see, the real gate is in the fairy world, and seeing this, Lucia can't help but admire the person who designed this prison.

"Actually, I don't know exactly what this is all about, but that's what the last prison warden did, and it scared me out of the way at the time, ahahahahaha. ”

No one paid attention to the unbridled laughter of the warden, and everyone's attention was drawn to the black hole inside after the door was opened.

"What's it like inside?" the deputy captain asked the warden, turning his head.

The latter's face was embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know. ”

After a moment of surprise, the warden continued, "To tell you the truth, the basement is still empty. It's also the first time I've opened the door since I became a prison warden......"

As they approached the door with torches, they found that it was a long slope. Although the light can reach only a limited place, and there is not much to see, it just gives people the impression that there is no end, as if it leads to the dark and dark hell.

"So...... Are we all going down?" One soldier finally couldn't help himself.

The vice-captain raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and let out a long exhalation: "Okay, you all stand by in place." I'll go in with the warden!"

"I ...... Me?" said the warden grimaced.

"You've got to show me the way!" the deputy captain pulled the warden by, "Don't say you haven't been in, am I more familiar with this place than you?"

The warden has no choice, the people of the Royal Janissaries can't be offended, and this is indeed his duty. So, swallowing a mouthful of spit, he and the vice-captain pushed Lucia into the dark "hole".

Lucia's mood was heavier than that of the two of them, and with the help of the firelight, she could faintly see the iron wall in front of her, and there was no other adjective except solid. The passage slowly descended, the humid air, and the unpleasant smell became heavier and heavier. I don't know how long it took, but they finally ended their long downhill journey. Stepping on the flat road, people suddenly relaxed a lot.

The warden used a torch to light five torch lamps on the wall, and the whole room was lit up. At this time, Lucia realized that they were now in a fan-shaped space. There were five doors in the arc, the middle one facing their path. The door was slightly larger than the other four, and there were many metal frames on the outside, and if it weren't for the prison warden's just saying that there were no prisoners in it, Lucia would not even think that after the door was opened, a demonic beast would run out of it.

This must be the prison cell for magicians in the prison warden's mouth. Lucia could feel that the air was compressed to the extreme, and all the matter that flowed in the air was still, including magic. This made her a little depressed, and her brain was even more numb, like countless radio wave interferences, "Zizi" sparks in her brain.

The warden pulled out an old key and opened the door.

In an instant, the air rushed out, and Lucia was so shocked that she couldn't open her eyes. The body quickly lost its strength, and like a sponge that had been squeezed dry, it went limp. The wardens and vice-captains on the left and right did not feel anything unusual at all, and they quickly pulled Lucia out of the prison cart, pushed her into the cell, and locked the door.

There were no torches, and the room was dark.

Lucia lay on the ground for a long time without the strength to stand up, hungry, exhausted, and depressed...... These negativity came to her in one fell swoop, surrounding her. And, of course, the most painful feeling of crushing, Lucia even had the illusion that the walls on all four sides had collapsed, crushing her underneath. All the spiritual power in her body was drained, and her muscles and bones rattled, and the pain made her head full of big drops of sweat rolling down.

Lucia's tongue could sense a drop of salty liquid on her parched lips, and she didn't know if it was sweat or tears. Since the age of five, Lucia has never shed a tear, whether it is when she reiterates those complicated spells that can never be memorized, or when she is harshly demanded by her master to perfect and fast in battle, or when she walks into the altar alone after saying goodbye to all her childhood playmates, or when she looks back at what is wrong when she leaves her hometown, those pains and bitterness do not make Lucia shed half a tear, she only smiles and says, "At least I still have sunshine reads;!"

But now, in this place insulated from the sun, the exhausted Lucia didn't know if she was crying, she didn't know if she was going to spend the rest of her life in this kind of place, she didn't know if it was a mistake to come to Egrem, she didn't know why her fate was so bad. The only thing she knew was that somewhere in this room, there must be something like that, something called a "soul destroyer", a nightmare for all magicians! Back then, when reading the "Magic Book", Lucia once sighed at this kind of prop, and also thought that she would never encounter it in her life, but it was just a creation to make people.

Lucia clearly remembered that the record of "soul destroyer" in the "Magic Book" did not describe too much, and only one sentence made almost all magicians tingle - "Abolish all the spiritual power of the subject, and you can no longer use magic in the future!" In a way, it is even more cruel than the swordsman who has been abolished from his martial arts. The swordsman can still practice martial arts after being abolished, but the magician loses his spiritual power, and from then on he can only become a mortal and live a mediocre life. Unable to think any further, Lucia closed her eyes and fell into a groggy sleep.

The night deepened, and in the forest behind the prison of Ikonatni, the nocturnal elves were also active, their silver wings fluttering up and down in the moonlight, reflecting the starlight and gathering together like fireflies to chase and frolic. Suddenly, they dispersed abruptly, the air accelerated, and a figure appeared on the top of the tower of Ikonatny Prison. Long coat with black hair and an oriental face. The elf flew tentatively, whispering in his ear, his gaze wandering, and finally locked on the huge door.

Xuanyu jumped and landed lightly in front of the gate. He examined it, closed his eyes, opened his lips lightly, and after a few short syllables, with his last snap of his fingers, the door opened automatically! Xuanyu raised his foot and was just about to step in, suddenly, there was a loud "rumble" sound in his ears, he hesitated for a moment, and the footsteps that had already reached in retracted. He turned, and in the forest not far ahead, a silver figure became clearer and clearer. Soon, the man's eyebrows appeared, and he walked towards Xuanyu, saying as he walked, "Long time no see." The androgynous voice combined with its beautiful face made Xuanyu quickly guess its identity.

At this moment, Lucia, who was in a comatose state, was woken up by a loud "rumbling" sound. She opened her eyes and groped in the darkness, but to no avail. The "rumble" continued, and was accompanied by a slight earthquake. Lucia put her ear close to the ground, and she could feel that the sound was coming from underground, and that the slight tremor was also caused by the sound. Not an earthquake, but something else.

Ground floor?

Lucia is already at the bottom of the Ikonatni prison, how can there be an "underground"? Is there a second basement in the Ikonatni prison? If so, what kind of secrets are hidden there?
