Chapter 140: Gerst (1)
"Now convene the two cases of 'Yi Jia and the Fallen Dark Mage Unleashing Demonic Flames in the Advanced Survival Race of the Ascended Stage, violating the common laws of light mages and attempting to escape with the Dark Mage from Gist Prison'. ”
In the solemn judgment court of the Ministry of Magic, I stood as a defendant in a special barrier that at first glance looked empty, but in fact there was a powerful magical attack when I stepped out of the circle. Ignoring the boring and rigid stuff of the unidentified person next to the adjudicator, my gaze wandered between the adjudicator, the prosecutor, and the defender.
"Needless to say," the prosecutor pushed his glasses to interrupt the other party's reading, and said majestically, "Mr. Deputy Adjudicator, we will discuss the matter, and the previous cases and the relevant laws touched on cannot be used as a reference for this trial, otherwise we will have preconceived ideas." ”
The deputy adjudicator next to the adjudicator stopped talking, sighed and sat down, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
I looked at the inspector, but I was intimidated by his fierce gaze, and immediately lowered my head.
"So, first of all, I would like to introduce the gentlemen of the judges who appeared and the leaders of the auditors who have made outstanding contributions to our Ministry of Magic......"
"Prosecutor, it's up to you to read out the report of the case that is being heard. The judge, sitting under a scale, interrupted, apparently flattering, and the other vice-adjudicator said to the sharp-looking elite.
The corners of Yi Yunfei's mouth raised slightly, and he greeted Zhang Meiling politely like a senior deacon, and then read out the case report of the criminal department of the Ministry of Magic to his opponent Yi Longfei and everyone, including Liang Kairong and other leaders and some teachers of the Red Elemental Magic Academy.
A month earlier, within an hour of my arrest and confinement cell for assaulting the Holy Inquisitor Huck Jackson in a survival game, I had been sent without trial to Gust Prison, the hopeless death row where the magician had been terrified.
To me, Gust is not as scary as people say they are. If I want to say why, I'm ashamed to say that I actually came down to a completely enclosed room (presumably a cage for a condemned prisoner) in a state of unconsciousness. That's right, I was knocked unconscious. I just thought that it didn't matter anyway, I didn't pay extra attention to the thugs who opened the door from behind, and then I became a prisoner of Gust without even having a chance to argue.
The cage was identical to the top and bottom and the four walls, with no entrances or exits around it, leading me to imagine that I had been placed there when the room was completed. If the cage in Gust was like this, any prisoner imprisoned in Gust would fall into despair, and it is no wonder that this place has the nickname "Hopeless Land".
However, even in this desperate situation, I still found hope to live with a smile, and this was probably the only thing in the room that gave me comfort, and that was the silent toilet in the corner of the room, and it was a brand new toilet. Forget it, hope or anything is fake. If Gerst's people don't clean the toilet, I won't be able to clean it, and it will get dirty after a long time. After that, the toilet will become the enemy of the prisoners.
In such a depressing environment, I had no shackles and no broken hands and feet, with a short sleeve on my upper body and loose hemp pants on my lower body. Huck and the Survival Athletic examiners are supposed to know about the power of the Flame, so how can they let me move freely? So, the person who got me here has nothing to do with Huck?
The subject was Gust's metal cage, and I tried to destroy the wall with the flames, but stopped in fright when the effects appeared. Gust's guard didn't move, and I let out a sigh of relief, falling to the ground on all fours, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Pyropy can destroy this room, and I can easily come up with this room. The question is, why did Huck build a room that I could destroy to imprison me and not put any precautions on me? because they had other intentions against me, or was it because Huck and the management here were two different parties? After all, am I in Gust......?
Thinking wasn't something I could stick to, so I focused on a crucial question: "Hungry ......"
Just as I was stroking my belly and hanging my head, a meal suddenly appeared in front of me. Sure enough, someone was watching this airtight room.
"It's strange to keep sinners in prison without surveillance. I've looked at the room and there are no cameras in it, but that's not a basis for no one to be watching me. But in the wizarding world, with elemental magic and magical technology, what can't I do? So, I'm pretty sure someone is watching my every move like a lion in a zoo. How? Yes, of course...... Eat you. ”
As soon as I took a bite of the delicious burger, my eyes widened and I calmly savored junk food that was even better than the junk food in a fast-food restaurant.
"Even junk food has to be picked out for the best, just like Dinosaur Girl has to pick out the best to appreciate. While there is a possibility of poisoning if you come into contact with either party, the most important thing is the process. ”
After eating the meal, the food poisoning that I was worried about did not appear. Also, if the other party really wants to kill me, they will attack me while I am unconscious, why bother so much, or do you want me to be a full ghost?
"Hey, Lord Prison Guard, could you please give me a book to read?"
An hour later, I shouted in my room, but waited ten minutes and there was still no movement outside. Unable to hold back, I got up and banged on the walls to seek attention.
"Suspect Yi Jiahe, you are forbidden to escape from prison in Room 3 on the tenth floor of the confinement area of Gust Prison. ”
The walls shifted, and several metal chains flew out of them and bound me to death.
"Hey, I just-"
The familiar feeling of the electric shock hurt me so much that I couldn't move. Then, spineless, I fainted.
When I woke up, the room was back to its original state, and the plates were gone, as if I hadn't eaten. Gritting my teeth, I jumped to the toilet bowl and flipped the lid and flushed it quickly.
"Great, toilet available. "I leaned on the toilet bowl and felt relieved.
Clearly, I was in Gerst Prison. The voice was clearly a human warning, so there was no doubt that I was being watched.
"However, this is too much of a fuss, and just knocking on the wall is judged to be an illegal act, my dear mother. ”
The question is how strict the Guster guards are, whether they eat three meals a day, and whether the toilet will run out of water. No, just thinking about it brings me a lot of things: bathing, entertainment, and crushes...... Life is really hard.
Lying on the ground, restless, I pressed my hand and burned the flame. When I wasn't sure if the Watcher existed, I put my hand against the wall, causing some damage to the metal wall. Now the damaged area has been repaired. Previous actions would have undoubtedly drawn a warning from the Monitor, but it was not, which makes me wonder what would have caused the Watcher to punish me.
Sit up, I wait for the wall to change. The room was silent.
"I'm going to get out of Gust, I'm going to get out!"
"Suspect Yi Jiahe, forbid you to escape from prison in Gerst Prison. ”
Before listening to the warning, I tried to run out of the toilet. Despite the strong electric shock, I didn't faint this time, and it was a great blessing to see for myself that the chains did not reach the toilet.
After two painful lessons, I stood in the middle of the room and took a deep breath, and then resolutely set out the flames. The soul flame burned for a full minute, and the watcher did not move. Oh, as long as I burn the flames, I can turn into an invisible man—how is this possible!
Then I decided to make a bolder move, and if it turned out to be unexpected, I would be exterminated on the spot. Aren't human beings just such creatures, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers, and they don't care whether their actions will cause harm to the world. At this moment, I also want to be an aggressive and greedy human, shouting loudly that I will flee from here when I unleash the Pyantom.
When the practice is over, I am safe.
"Finally, there is the test ......"
I opened my mouth to shout, received a third wave of chaining and high-voltage shocks, and fainted.
"Well, now it's certain that I'm being watched both visually and visually. Loosening my sweaty short sleeves, I sat cross-legged and thought, "If there is an act such as banging on a wall or declaring an escape, the watchers will punish me." However, the other party didn't care about the power of Youyan and let me use it...... This shouldn't be spying on me from an experimental point of view. Also, it's strange that I made a declaration to flee when I started the Pyantom and was not punished. Is the other party's purpose just to imprison me here?"
Either way, at least I got a "certificate of exculpation". I'd like to do another experiment of burning the flames while banging on the walls, but I think it's a bit "excessive" to forget it.
There was no clock in the room, and I couldn't tell the time. Alone and bored, I counted the deviations, but I could roughly figure out that food would be transferred to the room every six hours.
About two days later, I had a nervous breakdown. In general, prisons have a labor reform system. In order to refresh the prisoner's mind, and at the same time to make the prisoner aware of the joy of labor—I don't know what the real purpose is, but in short, I feel that proper labor is necessary, and that it is important for ordinary people as well as for sinners. Money is to be obtained through down-to-earth labor. But that's not the case with Gust, who kept me in a cage like a psychopath and fed me like a pig, which was outrageous.
That being said, after about four days, I was decadent and stopped thinking about such unanswered questions.
All I have to do is eat, drink, sleep, and nothing else. That way, I won't be punished and I'll live in peace. So, at the end of the week, I learned a new trick.
Isn't it natural to waste time without wasting time? Time is gone, just like the limited food stored in a limited warehouse will eventually be gone, so there is no waste at all—said Yi Jia and Uncle Yi, who had wasted nearly half of their time in 28 years.
A quiet and undisturbed space can drive a lively person crazy, but it will make an already quiet person enjoy the ultimate solitude. A lonely person longs for others to accompany him, but when he recognizes the reality, he will choose to step into the path of loneliness and old age with a melancholy mood. People are intersected by interests, how many people are "true"?
In Room 3 on the 10th floor of the Gust Confinement Zone, in order to relieve the boredom in my heart, I began to expand the use of the flame in a unique environment with the knowledge I learned at the Academy of Magic.
After a few practices, I was sure that the Burning Flame would no longer burn my clothes. But, if I wanted, I could still burn my clothes, and I was so scared that the fire alarm would go off and I would drown in this room, even though there was nothing but a toilet.
I'm trying to connect with nature while I'm burning with the flames. Originally, I was worried about being in a confined space, not to mention connecting with nature, and maybe dying due to the burning flame running out of oxygen, but when I calmed down, I could actually feel the active life on the tenth floor of the confinement zone. This process was not achieved overnight, and it wasn't until two weeks later that I was still figuring out how to use it to detect the existence of life. The deeper I dived, the greater the joy that "Flame Discovery" brought me. After three weeks, I had almost the entire structure of the confinement zone and what was within it.
The Flame doesn't hurt me, so I'm not sure how far it can heal. One thing I know for sure is that the flame does not bring the dead back to life. A life has only one chance to exist in the world, and to lose it is endless darkness. Thinking back to the survival competition where I used the Flame to heal Suzuki and Gollum, I speculated that the Flame probably had the miraculous effect of healing the dying.
The natural elements come together, and this is the magical power I wielded in my battle with the Shadow Frogmen in the Black Forest. When I activated the "Fusion of the Elements of Nature", I knew where this power came from, but I couldn't use it properly. "Ten Controls" is my abbreviation for it. One of the main reasons for this abbreviation is that "the integration of the elements of nature" allows me to unleash the ten elemental magic of the wizarding world: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.
Regarding the flames, I used to have a misconception that the flames were natural elements. It is true that it is a flame, but it is not a natural element, and I have learned the essence of it after going deeper again and again. The relationship between the flame and nature is only because of me, after all, I am a part of nature, so the flame is also a part of nature, but the flame is different from the fire element. "Soul Flame Burning" is something that truly belongs to me as a person, born of myself and used by me. It can be said that the flame is my stunt, and I am the only one in the world who can use it.
Back to the Ten Controls. Due to the presence of the Flame, I lost control of the fire element, which is called "willingness", although using the flame is equivalent to controlling the fire element. If Yi Jiahe, the fire mage in the magic world, knew that he was not a fire mage in the real sense of the word, I don't know if he would cry or laugh. Even so, I knew that I could control the nine elements of nature, including light and darkness.
I hope that I can fly freely in the air without relying on others, so whenever I see Yu Jingjing, Ma Chao and Jin Yingying use wind magic to take us into the air, my heart is full of longing. Three weeks after coming to Gust's room, I was finally able to use the Wind Magic of the Ten Controls to help me get into the air. Unfortunately, I couldn't fly more than three meters, and I couldn't go beyond a minute before I fell out of balance. As long as there is perseverance, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. I believe that flying is similar to riding a bicycle, and after a long practice, practice naturally makes perfect.
Integrate with nature, feel nature, connect with nature, and integrate with nature. Eager to fly, I learned one thing after using the Wind Magic: there is a limit to the use of the Ten Controls, and I can only control one type of elemental magic at a time. While there is no time limit for casting magic, it takes time to switch to another elemental type. On the battlefield, a second of hesitation can lead to a situation of checkmate death, let alone calm and concentrate on the integration of nature and self. However, once you can use a certain type of elemental magic, you can use it forever, which can be considered to be in line with "integration".
Ten controls are easy to use, and the time stop is even better, but I think Youyan is the best to use, probably because of the desire to control.
Before the trial, I was finally able to use wind magic to send myself flying and perform my new tricks in the air. However, I still can't fly around in the air like Yu Jingjing and the others, but I can levitate myself in the air. From now on, I will no longer be a burden to everyone, and I will be able to share the pressure for my fellow wind mages.
Not only wind magic, but I was already able to control the ten natural elements before the trial. Although it is more or less problematic, as long as I can activate the Ten Controls, I can manipulate the elements to cast elemental magic.
After a practice mistake, I solved the mystery of the watcher.
I was practicing water magic at the time, and I was using the water in the toilet bowl as a manipulator. On a whim, I tried to raise the temperature to evaporate the water, and as a result, the whole room was filled with moisture. In this case, I will definitely be dragged to the confinement room and think about it, if I don't know it, I will suffer from flesh and skin, and I am afraid to think about it. However, nothing happened. No warning, no guards breaking in, waiting for the vapor to disappear and the surroundings to be quiet.
The watchers always ignore my "troubles".
In order to further test my conjecture and determine the final answer, I finally stepped out of that line. Activate the Ten Controls to mess around the room as much as I can, and then I destroy the metal wall with the Flames.
I didn't hear the red alert, I saw that the next room was empty. I silently returned to my room, manipulating the gold magic to repair the metal wall as much as I could, and it took me a long time. In addition, the repair time was almost half a day, and the guards still did not move. So, as I swelled, I banged on the metal wall I had repaired and yelled to get out, only to crackle and faint.
Having forgotten a few times when I fainted from a strong electric shock, I confirmed my assumption: I was being watched by at least two parties with different attitudes. I don't know what their relationship is, but I speculate that one of them is Gust's guard, and the other is either experimenting with me or secretly protecting me. In any case, it is highly likely that the other side has more power than the Gust guards.
If the other party really had any intentions for me, I would rather die in this small dark room than compromise on everything. I can still be a pig here, and I guess I'll be pork there.
"Just slip away?"
The idea came about three weeks after I entered Gust, a week before the trial. At that time, I was sure that I could escape from the Gust confinement zone on my own, and the success rate should be more than 70%.
"Forget it, it's going to cause you trouble. However, it is not a good feeling to be sentenced like this, although the trial has not started yet, haha. Alas, the guys at the Ministry of Magic are really procrastinating, they haven't held a trial for so long, are they planning to imprison me here so that I will never see the light of day? whatever, as long as you give me food and water, I will control the natural elements anyway. ”
Before he could finish his words, a man in black appeared in the room.
"What, is the food a man this time?"
The other man was wearing a hood, and I couldn't see him. However, through the exploration of Youyan, I learned the following information: male, about 20 years old, in good health, with little mood swings.
"Are you Yi Jiahe?"
"It's me......" where have I ever heard this voice.
The visitor rolled down his hood, and I had mixed feelings when I saw his true face. The excitement was prominent, my eyes were hot, and if I didn't try to stop it, tears were about to come out.
"It's still that ordinary face, as featureless as a passerby. How are you doing, old classmate?"
The visitor frowned and asked, "Do you know me?"
"Ah, no. I covered my tear-filled eyes with my hand and replied, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone I knew." ”
"It's okay," the other party still frowned, "I'm often asked, 'Where have I seen you?'" ”
"Of course, because you have a public face. ”
Realizing that I had lost my words, I wanted to apologize to him, but he spoke first: "My name is Hu Hong, and I am a member of the Thunder Sect of the Underworld. Without further ado, I would like to ask Mr. Yi Jiahe to leave Gust Prison with me and go to the base of the Dark Wanderers. ”
