In the dungeon of Apido.

It is worthy of a new city, even the dungeon is bustling, some come in with sad faces, feel that it is very painful to go to prison, and some are smiling, coming in and going home.

All kinds of three religions and nine streams go in and out, and the traffic is like a bazaar, which makes people sigh at the security of the city.

Apidou's criminal activities are extremely rampant, and every day many scum flock to the market like vultures, stealing wallets, stealing pieces of meat, beating poor worms who happen to walk by in dark alleys, and then taking all the value from him, which is why there are executions almost every day.

But even in this kind of place, there is a place that no one dares to provoke, and that is the lowest level of the dungeon.

Unlike the petty theft or abduction above, the people here are really big business, and they are extremely vicious, which is a compliment for them.

Inside, in a solitary cell, sat a handsome and sunny young man.

Compared with the fierce and vicious fierce people around him, he seems so unsociable, others know at a glance that it is not easy to mess with, only he, at first glance, looks like a young farmer working hard in the countryside, and he is also a handsome young man from ten miles and eight towns, with dark skin, big eyes, and bright facial features, at first glance he is a sunny and healthy young man, who must be smart and capable, and can feed a family.

Even if he was locked up in prison, he was not depressed at all, but scraped the rust ash on the walls of the prison with great interest, studying something.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly raised his head.

He noticed footsteps on the stairs in the distance, but judging from the dim light in the dungeon, it wasn't time for the jailer to change shifts.

Explain what is going on, and ask them to come here in advance.

"Is there any movement in there? How did he react? ”

There was a voice outside, and the young man could be sure that this man was not a jailer, for he had already memorized all the jailers in his head.

At the same time, the clanging of armor bells can be heard, and the person who comes is a knight or an officer.

"I've always been honest...... But none of us dared to look at it. The cowardly voice of the jailer was heard, for fear of being punished for lax care.

"I don't blame you...... He's a monster after all. The officer said understandingly.

Then came the sound of strides, and one cell door after another was opened, and finally, all the way down to the bottom, to the young man's side.

"Lieta, someone is willing to let you out." A heavily armed officer walked in.

If you look closely, it is the imperial general who met Lu En at that time, but compared to the military uniform when he met Lu En, he is now much more cautious.

"Hey...... Well prepared. The young man smiled, squinting at the Imperial General who came in,

Not to mention the enchanted armor, there is a divine halo on his body, obviously he has just received the blessing of the priest, and he is wearing a magic ring on his hand out of place.

It was inlaid with a blue gemstone, which he could tell at a glance to be indigolite, a bright blue, transparent corundum-like mineral that could give the wearer wisdom and calm, and allow the wearer to dispel fear and avoid being deceived.

The general did not feel that he was making a big fuss, because what was in front of him was a monster who had committed a great crime of blasphemy and stole the bones of the saint.

Twenty-five years ago, he committed the grave crime of blasphemy.

Blasphemy is not blasphemy, but two completely different crimes, and the blasphemy is disrespectful to the Holy See, and this is exactly the case with the youth in front of you.

He infiltrated Hawar and exhumed the bones of saints to refine the 'holy remains', so he was arrested by the Church and sentenced to death.

But the military still asked him over, because he was a genius, a rare untaught alchemist, a professional who had been honed by himself.

But he also didn't want to serve the military, so he was imprisoned until now, and when Apidu was established, General Slais didn't give up and brought him here, but he still didn't cooperate.

It just so happens that this time the king of monsters wants to, and he can also let this monster try it, and it becomes the best, and if it doesn't work, he just pulls it over and locks it up, it doesn't matter.

The young man seemed to know this, he threw away the wall ash in his hand, smiled, and sat there waiting.

In a short time, bread with roasted and cured pork and cheese appeared, as well as warm mead.

The black young man, who could only gnaw cold onions and black bread in prison, unceremoniously grabbed it and took a big bite and poured wine into his stomach. The sensation of the warm mead flowing down his stomach was unusually clear, and he felt very comfortable.

He ignored the vigilant eyes of the people around him, and enjoyed the delicious food to himself.

"Lieta, this time it's a murderous, ruthless governor who wants to see you, and he's not human, you'd better be restrained." The general reminded indifferently.

"Convergence?" The young black man named Lieta glanced at it and continued to take a bite of bread.

He was a little embarrassed, for decades, he was scolded for being an evil man, feared and resisted by everyone, even if he was protected by those in power, this life and head were often coveted, but even this was still at his disposal, and the young alchemist gambled his life and all his dignity as a human being only for this purpose.

You can't do anything in prison, but if you get out of prison and do that kind of thing again, you will definitely be sent in again, and if you don't still have value, then you can't live until the next day.

How?

"Of course...... I'm glad to do it, I wonder which adult has taken a fancy to me this time? I'm glad I played! The black young man swallowed everything he ate in one gulp, just like a wild dog when it quickly swallowed food, shook his shoulders, swallowed the bread, and swallowed the rest of the meat without chewing much.

Then, he drank all the mead in one gulp, flushed the food into his stomach with the golden liquor, and then grinned and stood up: "I hope the boss has a bigger belly this time!" Hahaha. ”

Seeing him look like this, the general frowned: "Don't you have a little loyalty?" I heard that you used to be a knight too, which is really an insult to the honor of the family. ”

The alchemist named Leta tilted his head and glanced at the general, and withdrew his gaze with disdain, which made the general's shoulders tremble, as if he had been insulted.

But Lieta didn't care, the cage outside was still tightly locked, but he pushed the door open.

Loyal? What is that?

Alchemists believe that everything flows and that there is no eternal truth in the world. Only in this way can we believe that lead may be turned into gold, and foolish daydreams may one day become reality, and they use their knowledge and persistence to build a high wall to isolate themselves from the world.

Everything flows and never stops, and loyalty is no exception.

With a single step, the magic prison composed of several arrays was easily pushed away, and the layers of bans directly faded and lost their effectiveness.

The other prisoners were dumbfounded, could this desperate prison be pushed out so easily? Did the jailer close early?! No, the magic ban in this place can't be turned off at all!

But the others, including the guards and generals, were not in the slightest bit surprised, and seemed to be accustomed to it.

How could a magical ban stop him?

Alchemy 7's 'Black Gold' Lieta Leviton.

————————

Lu En looked at the information in his hand, which was sent by Marshal Slyer, about the alchemist he wanted to give to himself.

Alchemy at present, there is no level 8 or above, he is one of the top dozen alchemy masters in the world, and the youngest one, if it weren't for the fact that his crime was too troublesome, no one would want to imprison him, after all, the wonderful abilities that alchemy masters can exert are very popular with nobles.

Even after being imprisoned, most people hoped that he would serve the Empire again, but alas, he would have liked to, but each time he would have repeated the same mistakes and be imprisoned again.

Someday he will run out of patience with those in power, such as now, and no one is even willing to bail him out anymore, so much so that he is given to the king of monsters as a bargaining chip.

What he committed was refining the Holy Relic, a forbidden object, which was originally due to the collapse of the Celestial Realm, which caused him to obtain some Celestial Fragments and Breath.

So he got interested and began to collect the celestial apostles, and refined them alive, and finally he targeted the saints of the church, because the saints were canonized by the gods.

Obviously, he failed, and was captured alive on the spot by the saint Peter, he far underestimated the strength of a level 8 priest, not to mention that alchemy is not a combat skill, so he was blown up on the spot when they met.

After that, he was imprisoned, and someone admired his skills and bailed him out, but each time he would try to do it again, repeat the same mistakes, and be locked up again.

The wrath of the church is not something that anyone can afford, and time and time again, it is simply a slap in the face, and in the end, no one is willing to bail him out at all.

Because the power of the church is deeply entangled with the nobles, almost all of the nobles are devout believers, and there are elegant monasteries such as the Abbey of St. Eleve, which exclusively collects the daughters of the nobles, and the young nobles often choose to serve in the knights of the church, and the state religion is deeply entrenched in the center of the entire empire, unbreakable, even the emperor needs to pay attention to them.

It's a miracle that an alchemist, who has slapped the church in the face so many times, is still alive.

Marshal Slyer's hand is very beautiful, because Lu En's task in the empire is to contain the church and balance the academy, and to hand over this thing to Lu En is to slap the church in the face nakedly, obviously, they must pay attention to their own graves will not be dug up, and this time it is very likely to succeed, because there is a level 9 protector, directly teleported over, and then teleported away, which is convenient and fast.

And for the empire, this is also good news, at least, an alchemist of alchemy 7 can no longer stay in prison, and when Lu En helps him finish refining the 'holy remains', he has no obsession, and when the time comes, with the resources of the empire, he will take refuge over there, of course, he doesn't even need to think about it, the king of monsters is so poor, he wants to give full play to his talents, only the empire can provide such resources.

The key to the whole link is that Lu En is the only one in the whole empire who doesn't care about offending the church, and he still has the ability to help Lieta, imagine that if Duke Wald personally helped snatch the bones of a saint for the sake of this alchemy master 7, then he may be crazy and looking for death.

But Lu En is different, he doesn't mind this at all, he grabs it, but he can show his importance on the emperor's side, besides, is it possible for the church to come and beat him? If he really came, then Lu En would definitely welcome him with both hands and come more, so that he could clean up a few more at a time, and Lu En himself was immortal with the church, so he definitely didn't care about this.

In the case of the closed heavenly realm, the mortal strength of the church itself cannot compete against the bloodline of a hell king, although in the holy city of Havar, the priests have a home field advantage, and the king of monsters can't help them, but it may not be possible to come out.

"It's a good calculation...... It is said that Marshal Slay, the dragon slayer, is an upright and noble person, and he doesn't look stupid. Lu En muttered to himself.

At this moment, Lu En is sitting on the balcony, in front of him is a coffee table, and a few pastries, these do not have to pay, all the expenses given to Lu En by the military are round, of course, limited to food and accommodation.

That's the benefit of level 9, there are people who take the initiative to show favor wherever they go, of course, only if they haven't offended.

Because of the relationship between beating Elaine, Lu En's reputation in aristocratic circles is not good, and whoever is beaten by Idol Road will not have a good face.

On the opposite side of Lu En, sit...... No, it should be said that there are two girls and a girl.

The reason why they are left is because they have no legs, but one still has hands, and the other has no hands and feet, and at the end of their limbs, they have turned metallic, so that they at least do not have to worry about heavy bleeding and infection.

At this moment, one of the girls with hands was holding a spoon and scooping the pastries on the table for herself and her sister to eat, and Lu En put all the pastries in front of them, and he was just watching from the side.

The sun on the balcony was comfortable, the winter sun was just warm, not sunny, and the two girls didn't seem to be dissatisfied, on the contrary, they were immersed in the wonderful taste of the pastry.

Lu En quietly observed this scene, he still couldn't understand why they weren't depressed at all, and even started to enjoy it? Even when they first woke up, their emotions only began to fluctuate, and they could even fall asleep peacefully, and their reactions after coming to Appidou were mostly surprised, and they really didn't seem to understand the fact that they had become waste from now on, this reaction made Lu En very strange, but he didn't want to ask, in case they just forced a smile and went to uncover the scars themselves, it would be too silly.
