"Chapter 422: Prison Break"
It's still the wall of the prison that is hard to break, it's still the woolen blanket that doesn't feel comfortable, and it's still the half bowl of clear water soup that is already cold and can't be cold.
I know I'm back in this place that I hate so much.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the sound was a little hurried and denser than usual. I don't know how much time had passed since I went to the arena, but they must have noticed.
Several heavily armored figures appeared outside the cell, staring at me with that cold gaze through the steel bar.
"He's still there."
A guy I hadn't seen before, wearing a helmet that covered his entire face, whispered in a cold tone.
"No matter what he does, we must be on guard, and now there must be someone here to guard at all times, and we must not let him run away."
They whispered a few words, and then left, and after they left, two elite soldiers who were stronger than the senior warriors stood on either side of the door, and every once in a while they would turn their eyes over, for fear that I would disappear all at once.
It seems that they have a way to monitor me remotely, but I haven't been gone for long, and they are suspicious but can't confirm it. But it's still a little trickier than before, and they must have done a lot of preparation, so I can't rush into it.
Although the miners are strong, this fortress must have some kind of precaution against the strong, and I still have to get those two guards first, and then dig the floor here before the changing of the guard, and dig directly outside the fortress. I know that outside of the fortress of Sakturi, the kingdom will not be able to stop me with my current strength. Even if they send a large army, I can summon the barbarians to help. Even if the kingdom's war saint comes, the miners will be able to stop him.
Another half day of waiting, waiting for me anxious. However, I also figured out that they changed the guard every fifteen minutes, which can be said to be very frequent, and it seems that Salondron has done a good job of guarding against me.
I've prepared the illusionist's cards, and I've used my magic to probe my surroundings, and there's nothing that actually exists for magic detection and monitoring, but it's not as big a threat to my plans as it is for surveillance cameras. Of course, I was also discovered by this thing when I was using magic, and in return, they put a handcuff on me, which was made of anti-magic metal, enough to suppress my level of magic to the point where I was not even as good as a magic apprentice.
But it doesn't matter, because the illusionist has already been used by me, and this fantasy card, even a drop of holy water, can directly summon it.
Two illusionists dressed in robes similar to mage's robes, but dark purple in color, appeared in the cells. They had their backs to me, but I still realized how similar they were to the mage.
Before the two high-ranking warriors could turn their heads, the illusionist's illusion had already been cast, and the looming smoke had passed through the sturdy and powerful anti-magic prison fence, directly enveloping their bodies.
The soldiers in charge of guarding looked back, and in the cage, only the little fat man was squirming, his expression full of despair.
Both guards had disdainful expressions on their faces, and then turned their heads back and chatted with each other.
However, outside the illusion, only two guards stood in place in a daze, their pupils dilated, and it was gray inside.
"No problem, my lord, they will be like this for half an hour."
The illusionist withdrew the fog and nodded at me.
"Very good, watch them well, don't let people find out."
After making sure there were no hidden dangers around, I pulled out the legendary card that shone with golden light, but I was also a little scared. Based on our experience summoning legendary cards between hosts, these cards make a lot of noise, and they can't even be discovered. Many times this is a show of strength and intimidation of the enemy, but now this situation also invites unnecessary disasters.
"If it's a big deal, I'll get out."
I consoled myself with that and played that legendary card.
The card turned into light and entered the ground, forming a special wave that was almost negligible to the rest of the world, but I could feel that maybe in the next second, the earth would shatter, and the uncrowned king of the underground would break through the obstacles and descend into the world.
But it seemed that the power felt my uneasiness, like a volcano about to erupt suddenly fell silent, and the fluctuations were fleeting, except for a shovel that suddenly came out of the ground, and then, with a very random stroke, sliced the slate mixed with black lazuli like butter.
With such a shovel, a large pit appeared in this prison that could accommodate three people.
"Hats off, my lord."
In the tunnel, the miner carried the shovel he had just had, wiped the dirt from his face, and waved at me with a smile.
Just like in the game, the miner is wearing the plain clothes, wearing the kind of helmet that miners usually use, because of the problem of technology, but also for lighting, his helmet is fixed with a burning candle, the light is not only bright, but also has no sign of melting, it seems that it will never burn out. When I saw the miner, I felt very close to him, because he also had a very honest and round face, and he was not thin. Of course, I can still feel the powerful power hidden in his pride.
"Welcome to another world, friend. But now that the situation is a bit urgent, let's get straight to the point. ”
"Of course, my lord, I understand your predicament."
Although I myself felt that my actions were rude, the diggers didn't care at all and happily agreed.
"Now there's only one question, my lord, where should I dig to?"
I'm stuck, and although the miners are truthfully asking questions, I can't answer this question.
After being trapped in this prison, I lost all sense of direction, and I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south. I knew I was going south, but I wasn't sure where it was.
"We're going south."
But despite this, I was cheeky enough to say what I wanted, and I didn't give any direction at all.
"Yes, my lord, I will find the South."
The digger smiled, then waved at me.
"Please come with me, my lord, and I'll get you out of here safely."
Seeing him say so sure and confident, I felt hope, and immediately entered the pit carefully according to his request. And the two illusionists followed after casting an illusion that I had left in place.
The miner sealed the entrance after we entered the pit, and according to him, when the entrance was sealed, it would be as if nothing had happened, not even a single slate fragment would be missing, which was another advantage of his great strength.
