Chapter Seventy-One: The Magic Array
"I'll go!" When I opened the manhole cover, the moment I breathed a fresh breath, the whole person seemed to feel reborn, until this time I understood the meaning of Antonla's previous words, the idea of crawling along the sewage pipe for a few hundred meters is really not thought of by ordinary people, at this moment I am covered in stinking, fortunately it is not summer, otherwise I estimate that flies within a radius of 100 meters can be attracted by me, in my heart I really wanted to find a place to wash myself, but reason told me that now I can no longer care about grooming, shouting and killing faintly from a distanceI can imagine how fierce the battle was at the main gate, and I had to get the princesses out before Anton could no longer hold them, so I began to walk around the courtyard of the porch, and now the first thing I had to do was to find a living mouth and ask the princess where they were being held, otherwise such a large building would be able to circumvent me to death...
'Don't move!' Soon I found a lone guard and pressed my sword against his neck from behind. The other party was very cooperative, obediently raised his hands, and I hurriedly pulled them to the side corner.
'Say, where are Princess Scarlett's group locked up?'
'I... I don't know.'
'Don't play tricks, if you don't say I'm going to kill you now.' As I spoke, I put on my hands, and immediately blood flowed from the other person's neck...
'In... On death row on the second basement floor.' Finally, the other party hesitated, but still chose to cooperate obediently, after all, there are not many people in this world who can't get along with their lives.
'How did you get there?'
'Follow the corridor on the left, and at the end of the staircase you will go down to the second basement floor.'
'How many sentry are there along the way?'
'There is a fixed post every 100 meters, and the staircase is guarded at the top of each floor, and you have to go through three checks to go to death row, and as for the mobile post, I can't be sure.'
'That's all?'
'That's all.'
'Well, I'll believe you for once, but if I later find out that you're lying, then I'll have to ask you to go to your god in advance, and for now I'll trouble you to get some sleep.' As I spoke, I slammed the hilt of my sword on the back of the head, and the other person immediately stumbled to the ground, and I hurriedly followed him to make up for it a few times just in case, until the other party was completely unconscious.
"I'm sorry, friend, it's not that I deliberately want to get along with you, it's really a very difficult situation today, so you can bear with me." As I spoke, I pulled the other party closer to the grass on the side, and then exchanged our clothes with each other, fortunately this guy was about the same size as me, and the clothes were just the right size, and I saw that there was no one on the left and right, and I immediately ran out quickly.
If you want to say that buddy really didn't lie to me, the distribution of sentries along the way is the same as he said, so I successfully came to the second basement floor, but the real tricky problem comes, that group of sentries is easy to deal with, but how to pass the three checks on the periphery of death row? After much deliberation, I decided to take the risk.
'What's the matter with you?' The prisoners have run away, and they don't even know it!' I shouted as I walked towards the sentry.
'What's going on?' The guard in charge of the interrogation seemed to be stunned by me and stood up and looked at me with a look of surprise on his face.
'Those guys just dug a tunnel and ran out of the yard upstairs, didn't you guys notice!' I pretended to be angry.
'This can't be, I just checked the cell!' At this moment, a big black man came out of it, and it seemed that he was the person in charge of the second check.
'If it's true or not, don't you know if it's true?' Lead the way!' As I spoke, I swaggered in, and the gang seemed to be stunned, but no one stopped me, and I passed the three checks with ease.
'Look, aren't people here?' When I came to the door of the cell, the guard pointed to the inside and said loudly, and when I looked up, I saw that the princess and everyone were being imprisoned inside, all wearing shackles and dying, showing that I had been tortured these days, and for a while I couldn't help but feel like oil.
'Could it be that he was transferred?' No, the lights are too dim to see, you open the door, I'll go in and see what it's really like!'
This is not good, these are the ones who have been taken care of by the above, and no one can enter without a warrant. Anyway, I don't think I've seen you before.' At this time, the guards seemed to have reacted a little, and their eyes suddenly became vigilant when they looked at me, and I realized that the situation was not good, and I was too lazy to talk nonsense, so I drew my sword and started to fight with this group of guys, and the result was that the group of people was far weaker than I thought, and they were all knocked down in a few clicks, in fact, I felt that something was wrong at that time, just imagine that the Holy See attaches so much importance to the princesses, how can there be no elite guards on the periphery of the dungeon? However, at that time, I was only thinking about saving people, and I didn't care about these things, and finally found the key from one of them, and I hurriedly opened the cell door.
'Princess, are you alright?' Scarlett, who was unconscious under my shaking, woke up slowly.
'You... Are you Kane? It's not a dream, is it?' The princess's voice was weak, and she didn't seem to know what was going on in front of her.
'It's not a dream, I'm here to save you.' As I spoke, I hurriedly helped everyone open the shackles, and because I was so excited, my hands trembled unconsciously, and I couldn't get the keyhole right.
'It's not a dream, it's not a dream...,' muttered the princess, and suddenly she seemed to realize something, and her expression changed.
'Kane, get out, it's a trap!'
'Huh!?' Before I could understand what was going on, suddenly a shrill buzz sounded in my ears, and then I only felt my heart sink, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be unable to breathe, until then I realized that there was a strange purple light emitted from the ground at some point, and those rays of light formed a huge magic array.
"You're finally here... A hoarse male voice sounded, I turned my head to look and saw an old man in a black robe appear outside the cell, his face was covered by a hood, and I couldn't see it really.
"Who are you?" I asked, struggling.
"Who am I? Who am I, you ask? The other party couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, as if he had heard something particularly funny, I don't know why I became more and more familiar with this guy, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it...
"You... What do you want to do? ”
"What? You'll soon find out. Abraz Cusido... Suddenly the old man began to repeat a strange language, a language that had appeared hundreds of times in my nightmares.
"Ancient gods, how do you know this!?" I exclaimed, but the other party ignored me at all, and continued to repeat the sentence to himself, and soon the extremely familiar feeling appeared again.
"Shut up, do you know what you're doing!?" I roared hoarsely, but the chanting didn't stop, and now I finally understood that the other party knew what he was doing from the beginning, and his purpose was very simple - to wake up the Demon King!
"Shut up!" I struggled to get up from the ground, trying to wave my fist, thinking that I would stop the other party no matter what, but at this time my body was out of control, and the old man easily dodged my attack, and the punch missed, and I fell to the ground hard, and the consciousness of the guy was becoming more and more obvious at this time.
