Lisa has a hard time understanding the true structure of the Plane Prison.

In Lisa's eyes, the huge dimensional prison was like a bubble intertwined, and the main space connected to the entrance—Lisa called it the hall—was the largest one, and other large and small bubble spaces were attached to the hall, forming one cell after another. The problem is that some of the out-of-the-way bubbles are not directly connected to the main space, and you have to pass through several other small bubbles in a row to get there.

Unless you have a map in hand, it's easy to get stuck in endless circles......

Some of the bubbles, such as the hall and the bubbles that imprisoned old Gebu and others, were more like traditional halls and cells, with thick brick walls and solid stone floors, and a layer of dry straw on the floor of the cells. But there were a few bubbles that Lisa didn't know what they were made for: one bubble was a sandy beach covered with gray pebbles, and another bubble looked like a meadow but was actually full of thorns. None of these bubbles are inhabited, they just serve as corridors to connect with other bubbles.

It's been more than an hour since the Occult Warriors stormed the Plane Prison. Most of the time, Lisa, who acts with her brother, has nothing to do. The only time she was in distress was in a small bubble of green bushes, where a narrowly escaped guard jumped out of the bushes to ambush her, and was immediately pierced by her bayonet sword in the throat, splattering blood on the spot.

"Brother," Lisa grumbled, "I can fight." Please let me fight. ”

"Aren't you already fighting, Lisa?" Leon said.

"I don't want to just follow my brother." Lisa pouted.

Leon sighed. He really can't resist his stubborn sister.

"Then I'll give you a new mission," Leon suddenly had an idea, "I happen to have a new mission for you to do alone." ”

"Well," Lisa blinked, full of joy, "what is it?" ”

……

By the time the siblings talked, the prison had already changed.

Under the command of Old Gebu, most of the prisoners have already been released. Only a few elderly people gave up on the rescue and stayed in their cells to wait for fate. Most of the secret warriors got their wish and found the relatives and friends they wanted to rescue in prison.

Whether or not those who are not imprisoned in this prison will depend on the outcome of Lyon's negotiations.

Before the Empire's reinforcements arrived, many decided to flee immediately, but there were some Mystic warriors and mages who wanted to fight with Leon and them.

Old Gebu sternly rejected them.

"Mages who are not prepared and secret warriors who have lost their secret weapons will only become a burden if they stay here," said Old Gebu, "and if you leave a mage, you may need to cast a teleportation spell outside and leave after the negotiation is over." The others, while we are not yet completely surrounded, leave quickly. ”

"And what about you, Lord Gobhardt?" Someone shouted.

"Since my hammer is 'still in my hand,'" said old Gebu, smiling and raising his prosthetic leg, "it looks like I'm going to have to wield this hammer one more time, this old bone." ”

Old Gebu's gaze swept over the crowd. He saw a lot of old friends, but as he expected, a few of them weren't there.

"Already gone?" Old Ge Bu said in his heart.

In the prison, there are still a few prisoners whose strength and danger are far above that of Old Gebu. Old Gebu didn't want to let them go, but by the time he found their cells, they were gone.

"It must be the ghost of the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night'," Old Ge Bu muttered in his heart, "He went to great lengths to release us, is he having an enmity with the Empire?" ”

Old Gebu didn't think that the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" in Leon's mouth would be kind. He had already told Leon to be careful, not to be a substitute for the dead.

……

In a "bubble".

Excluding the "hall", this "bubble" is the largest of all bubbles. It used to be a dormitory for the jailers, and now the hostages are being held here.

The imprisoned ladies were not handcuffed like real prisoners, but were only asked to sit together. Only Jane, who is a warrior? Hahn repeatedly tried to resist and was tied up.

The original Secret Warriors who guarded the Ladies had left, and Leon had replaced his sister Lisalotte here.

Apparently Lisa was very unhappy with this arrangement. She felt like she had fallen for her brother: she did get the chance to go on a mission alone, but stayed further away from the fight.

But for the eldest ladies who are hostages, compared to a gloomy middle-aged man, it is more comfortable to be guarded by a girl of the same age. Most people don't know Lisa, and they don't know that if her father hadn't committed a serious crime, Lisa would have been one of them.

But after all, someone called out Lisa's name.

"Lisa." Jessica? Hahn shouted.

Lisa hesitated. She looked at her childhood friend in front of her. At that time, Count Hahn and old Goeb were good friends, and he and Jessica often played together.

"Jessica." She said.

Lisa remembered that when she was a child, she was always carried up and down by the lively Jessica. Lisa loves cleanliness, and Jessica has always been very aggressive, often making her neat white clothes dirty. Years have passed in a flash, and Jessica has grown into a veritable lady, but she can never go back to her past.

"Sure enough, you," Jessica said, "Lisa, you're really a secret warrior." You said you would never be a warrior. I just can't do it. ”

“…… You didn't care. Lisa said lightly.

"I'm not going to let you let me go," said Jessica, "but, Lisa, I'm not willing to know nothing like that." Tell me, Lisa, do we still have a chance to get out of here? ”

"If we succeed in negotiating with the Empire, you will naturally be let go."

Before Lisa could reply, a male voice rang out from the entrance of the passage in the distance. Aibo, with a trident in hand, walked over, covered in the blood of the jailers.

"Aibo." Lisa shouted.

"Imperial reinforcements have arrived," said Aibo, "but they don't seem to dare rush in at once." ”

Lisa nodded. It's all running as planned.

"Where's my brother?" She asked.

"Leon is in the warden's room. I dare say there must be a lot of secrets in those documents," Aibo said, "and they will be useful for our negotiations." Believe me...... Your mother will definitely be rescued. ”

"I believe in my brother." Lisa said.

Aibo suddenly showed a look of unbearability. Why, why is the girl in front of you so stubborn......?

"Lisa," said Aibo, "why don't you leave?" Even the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' has already gone with his men. Fehrman, Mitter, Ina...... They have all left the Ngol estate. Even our first thirteen men, including the old man Gebu, were only seven willing to stay in this besieged city. ”

Leon promised everyone that once they rescued the people they cared about most, they could choose to leave on their own in order to fight for their own survival. Many vowed to live and die with their companions, but faced with the pleas of their closest relatives...... Still soft-hearted.

"I won't leave my brother behind." Lisa said stubbornly.

Aibo could only laugh dryly.

"I won't leave you behind." Lisa said in her silver bell-like voice.

Aibo's laughter came to an abrupt end. His face flushed.

"Lisa," he said in a panic, "I ......"

"Look at your panic," Lisa said, laughing out loud, "I'm just kidding." ”

"It's a joke...... Aibo muttered quietly, but his expression was quite unwilling.

"Staying is the best option to survive, right?" Lisa shook her head, "If you go out alone, you are likely to bump into the powerhouses of the empire." That's a self-defeating one. Whether you live or die depends on luck. Even if you are lucky enough to escape, you can only flee alone. And if we stay here, as long as my brother's negotiation is successful, we will definitely be able to live. ”

Aibo suddenly understood: he didn't think as much as this girl......

"Why, Aibo," Lisa asked suspiciously, "haven't you considered any of this?" ”

"No," Aibo immediately denied, "I've figured it out a long time ago." Haven't I been following your brother all the time? ”

Not even a lie...... Lisa thought to herself. However, it is this that is the cutest thing about Aibo. Despite this, Aibo is also a powerful and reliable esoteric warrior.

Lisa suddenly walked towards another "bubble" at the other end of the passage.

"Lisa?" Aibo was a little puzzled.

"I'll go out for a moment," said Lisa, "Aibo, help me keep an eye on them." I'll be back in a moment. ”

"Where are you going?" Aiboqi said.

Lisa stopped. She looked back, a look of disgust.

"How. Do you want to ask? ”

Aibo suddenly understood. People have three urgencies, even powerful secret warriors are no exception......

"Yes, yes......" he nodded repeatedly.

"My brother is still in the warden's room, right?" Lisa asked, "What about Old Man Gebu?" I'm going to see them too. ”

"That's right," Aibo nodded, "Old Man Gebu and Randolph are in the hall, you know the two of them are the best at defense, and the rest of us will get in the way." Everyone else is with your brother. ”

"I see." Lisa left the room with that. Her blue shadow vanished into the passageway.

……

Now Aibo is the only one left in the room. The young Secret Warrior took his trident and scanned the hostages with an icy gaze. The girls lowered their heads one after another, and except for the daring Jessica, none of them dared to meet his eyes. Even Jane, who tried to resist at first? Hahn was silent.

If everything goes well, Aibo thought. I hope that Leon and Old Gob can negotiate successfully, so that he can be regarded as surviving the crisis. But Aibo couldn't help but wonder if — if there really was a case — they broke down...... Then he can only gamble his life and fight hard.

Even if he died, he had to keep Lisa safe, Aibo thought silently.

The young Mystic Warrior leaned his back against the wall and slowly closed his eyes. For now, at least, no matter what kind of storm lay ahead, no one could stop him from enjoying the moment of tranquility.

In that moment. He slightly let go of the trident in his hand to "call thunder".

……

Aibo made two mistakes.

One is to discuss our tactical arrangements with our companions in front of the hostages.

The second is that he only thinks about the upcoming battle, forgetting that the battle has never really ended since he set foot on the land of the Empire.

And when a warrior closes his eyes and releases his weapon in battle, his end can be imagined.

……

Aibo felt the heat rush on his face.

What happened? Aibo was puzzled.

In the moment of deciding life and death, love Bohard? Grant felt mortal danger. His eyes snapped wide, and his right hand went to grab his "Thunder Summoner".

He did grab his trident. However, he could no longer wield it.

Before he could grasp his weapon, another secret weapon smashed Aibo's arm above the elbow.

It was a young girl bathed in flames. Aibo could see her blonde hair, bright red clothes, the wings of the secret ceremony rising behind her back, and the dazzling parasol in her hand-

Aibo held the hand of the trident and flew out. With a thud, the trident fell to the ground.

Then Aibo understood. He finally understood what was happening in the moment he relaxed. He also recognized the legendary secret ritual weapon in the girl's hand.

"'The World of Light'!" The blood gushing from Aibo's severed arm was like a spring, and he let out a heart-rending roar, "Despicable and shameless! You're hiding in ......."

The girl did not hesitate. Before Aibo could react further, she swung the parasol in her hand vigorously, stabbing Aibo hard in the center of the eyebrow.

The outcome was decided.

Aibohard's expression froze suddenly. He let out a few indistinct mutters before falling to the ground, motionless. His heart had stopped beating. Until the end, his eyes were still open, as if telling his unwillingness.

"This is the first one." The girl said softly.
