The scourge of prison and the pain of flesh and skin, players have only experienced the former. But even so, it is a very uncomfortable thing for modern people who are used to being free.

However, when Barrett and his party were restricted in their personal freedom, there were also a considerable number of players and natives inside and outside the prison who had a headache because of this incident.

As time passed, the situation in Repulse City became more and more tense day by day. A low, hoarse wail echoed through the gloomy dungeons, and the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce did not act as much as the Lord of Justice.

Torture, though brutal and ineffective, is a very cheap and useful method for those on the periphery who are not very strong-willed. Even the spells given by the Divine Mansion are not cheap consumables, even if they are used to treat diseases, they can be exchanged for a lot of small money, of course, they can be saved.

At the same time, martial law, curfews, checkpoints, and ubiquitous patrols have once again descended, and together they form a unique landscape in Repulse City during this time. But it was clear to all of them that this would not last long.

The tense atmosphere inhibits the purchases of the residents of Repulse City**, and the restrictions on free passage are the enemy of the circulation of goods. As the so-called gods fight mortals suffer, the goddess of wealth and business has a great cause, and she will not care about such a loss in a short period of time for the sake of her own face.

However, the stewards of the big chambers of commerce and small businesses in the city all frowned and made bitter faces. The caravan's cargo delayed the delivery deadlines, affecting credibility not to mention. Often, additional liquidated damages have to be paid. Not to mention the backlog of goods in the store, which occupies working capital. Those goods that are not easy to preserve are even more deteriorating. It directly caused a lot of losses for merchants.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. There may still be people who can endure it for a day or two, but after a long time, grievances need to explode. There are few businessmen who can get a small fortune in Repulse City, and they are kind people in the true sense. These merchants, who had seen more or less blood, could begin their own actions.

Of course, since they have some net worth, they naturally can't work their own like when they were barefoot. But this does not mean that they have no other means, and the struggle often requires strategy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! A knock on the door interrupted Barrett and Noodles' conversation. But Noodle was not at all disturbed, and looked at the teak door with some excitement - he had been locked up in this cell for more than a week, and what Noodle and Barrett could say was long gone. Now the reason why the two are still able to talk is more to relieve the loneliness in their hearts.

Barrett, who was lying on the bed with his arm on his back, asked, "Sir outside the door?" It's not lunchtime yet. What do you mean by knocking on the door now, is it that we can get out of prison today? ”

"Yes! Two gentlemen. There has been news from the town hall that your detention order has been lifted. From now on, both of you are free, and please tidy up your belongings. With these words, there was the sound of the key and the iron lock running in the door.

Barrett and Noodles, who confirmed the news, scrambled to jump out of their respective beds. Then they began to pack blankets, futons, and their own cleaning supplies. From this point of view alone, the treatment of the two men is more like house arrest than imprisonment.

But just as the two of them were happily preparing to get out of prison, there was a "Bang!" from the door. Although it was neither opened nor followed up.

"Mr. Jailer, is something going on outside?" Now it seems that something is wrong, Barrett asks like this.

There was a brief silence at first, although an awkward voice came from outside the back door: "Stuck." The two gentlemen inside, there is something wrong with this door lock. The key card is inside. ”

Hearing this, the noodles immediately became anxious: "The key is stuck? How can it get stuck! Big brother outside the door, don't you play with us! ”

"How could it be to play with you! I don't want to do that! The voice outside the door also became a little urgent, "Who knew you came so suddenly!" This single room in our prison has not been used for a long time. I should have known that I should have found someone to fix these days. ”

Hearing what the jailer outside the door said, Barrett probably understood what was going on. The cell where the two players are staying was originally intended to temporarily imprison a nobleman who had committed a crime. But then with the exhibition in Repulse City, Claudia. After the construction of the special aristocratic prison where they were located, it gradually lost its original purpose.

Over time, this place has gradually become an idle chicken rib. However, as if to reflect the identity of the big people, this room was not only not demolished and converted into ordinary cells, but also forbidden to be used to hold ordinary prisoners.

After a long time, such a room that lacked a sense of zài was naturally forgotten by most people. If it weren't for the fact that every warden had to have a special inspection of the house at the time of the handover. The wooden furniture in this house has long since decayed into an unknown form.

And this time, Barrett and his party moved in suddenly, and the prison convenience only had time to hastily clean some of the house. So when Barrett entered, he was still able to find some uncleaned scrap in the corner.

Even the sanitation is not very good, not to mention other aspects. So when Barrett and Noodles lived here for so many days, there was no problem, and everyone in the prison, from the warden to the jailer, breathed a sigh of relief!

It's not that they're afraid to snub Barrett and Noodle - the news about them was already in the Warden's hands before the two players came in. In his opinion, the status of these two is not high, but they stayed there for special reasons. Although the relationship between the two and the nobles of the two sides cannot be slackened, there is no need to be too attentive.

However, they have to worry that those things that embezzle maintenance funds will be exposed. The annual prison maintenance funds put down by the city hall have long become a big meal for the system from top to bottom. Both the town hall and the city council know this, and they also understand that when the water is clear, there are no fish. Turning a blind eye to this aspect is a matter of turning a blind eye. As long as you don't go too far.

But these are no longer secrets. But after all, it is illegal. When no one is looking at it, it is naturally calm, but if you want to be more serious, it will also make many people unbearable. And the current situation in Repulse City can be regarded as turbulent, maybe someone is really staring here! As a result, there was another accident at the juncture when it was clear that the matter was about to end and the two 'plague gods' were about to be sent away, and the jailer at the door was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Compared to Barrett, who had already figured out something in Guò's nervous voice, Noodles didn't understand the doorway at all. Now he is only concerned about whether he can get out a little earlier, where does he still have the heart to pay attention to these: "Since the door lock is broken, why don't you hurry up and find the locksmith?" ”

"Nope! You can't go out and find a locksmith! If only people knew that this door lock was broken. Maybe someone will think about it. The jailer immediately vetoed the noodle mention, "I'd better go and talk to the warden about what to do!" ”

The current Repulse City is experiencing a ** that is not small. Except for the two sides that originally set off this turmoil, it is not that no one intends to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters to gain some benefits for themselves. Therefore, all the 'civil servants' who are now in service are cautious, for fear of being caught by others and taken off the horse.

The '3o years' memories during the test were not in vain, and combined with his own conjectures, Barrett immediately understood the scruples of the jailers outside. He immediately asked, "In other words, as long as you don't blow out the problem of locking the door here, just blow it out immediately, right?" ”

"As long as we don't reveal it immediately, after a few days we are ready, there will naturally be nothing." There was a voice outside the door, which seemed to want the players to stay in here for a few more days and wait for the limelight to pass before finding someone to open the door.

Noodles clenched his fists and said, "I don't want to stay here for a moment." ”

The halfling, who didn't know when he would be released from prison, could barely endure it. But now after getting the news that he can be released from prison, he is trapped alive in his cell. Then it is impossible to say that it is impossible to endure - after gaining hope, the gap between disillusionment is very large.

Seeing the noodle look so stimulated. Barrett said slowly, "But today is the day we get out of prison!" If we hadn't left the prison, don't you think the trouble here would have gotten even bigger? In any case, the two of us are also one of the causes of this incident! There are a lot of guys watching our every move! ”

The jailer outside the door realized that he had forgotten the identities of the two men in the room, and there were no fewer people staring at the two of them now, as Barrett had said. Not to mention, there is a holy warrior of the Lord of Justice waiting at the gate of the prison! Although it is inconvenient for the other party to enter the prison because of the agreement between the church and the city council, if these two cannot be released from prison today, the trouble will probably be greater than that deficit.

"This, that's just as well." The jailer was immediately dumbfounded when he thought of this, and then he seemed to think of something: "But that gentleman inside, since you said this, is there a way to solve the problem in front of you!" If you can, please hurry up and solve the problem! ”

"Since you can't open it, let's open this door!" Barrett paused, "But in this case, the door lock here will be irreversibly damaged." And you won't charge us with escaping prison or anything like that! ”

"Nope! No! Absolutely not! Hurry up and do it! As he spoke, the jailer outside the door began to urge, "Anyway, this cell is usually not used, and it is not difficult to hide it for the time being." As long as the immediate problem can be solved, it will not be easy to find a reason to repair it in a few days. ”

"In that case, let's do it." As he spoke, Barrett tapped his boot and pulled a short, sharp mild steel blade from the heel of the shoe - a specially designed shoe that was popular with wanderers and bards, but it wasn't cheap.

Barrett, who was holding the blade, bent over and dug in at the corresponding lock inside the door. Under the sound of 'tearing, tearing, pulling', the outermost wood on the door panel was quickly scraped clean. A rusty iron plate appeared in a hollow hole in a door.

Immediately afterwards, Barrett was seen inserting and prying the steel sheet with his hand. The rusty iron plate was immediately broken. The lock cylinder inside is exposed. Then he put away the steel sheet and patted Noodle on the shoulder: "It's up to you next." Lockpicking is what you loiterers do best! Whether we can get out now depends on your efforts. ”

"Don't worry! This qiē was hugged on my body. As he spoke, Noodle pulled out a few of his usual lock-picking tools from his belt. With the advantage of height, he straightened his waist. Several delicate tools were inserted into Barrett's gap.

For people like Barrett and Noodles who enter this kind of special cell, the jailers basically don't even make routine checks. Because people of this status usually don't run away. What's more, if you search this kind of person, you may be hated by some face-loving guys for a lifetime. If those 'adults' with status put on small shoes for themselves as soon as they get out of prison, it will be more than worth the loss.

But for example, the prisoners in ordinary cells could not have been treated so well, and they had to be inspected all over their bodies inside and out before entering the prison - it was inevitable that some of them would awaken some strange hobbies.

"Click! Click! The sound kept coming from the cylinder of the door lock, and Barrett suddenly appeared that the noodles were actually sweating profusely in the cold weather. I don't know if I'm tired or nervous.

To ease this somewhat tense atmosphere. Barrett joked, "Noodles, when I first met you, didn't someone say that he was a top-notch wanderer among the players?" No matter how you measure this broken lock in front of you, you can't unlock it! ”

"You don't look at what this is going on? Specific problems should be analyzed in detail! Saying that, the noodles stopped what they were doing and wiped the sweat from their foreheads: "If it was outside, I would have opened this fan a long time ago." But now I'm fiddling with the opening you made through the guò inside without keyholes! Add to that the half of the key that's broken, do you think it's easy? Don't want you to give it a try? ”

"That's good! You go on, you go on. Barrett took a step back, indicating that he would not interfere with the work of the noodles. Immediately afterwards, the halfling devoted himself to his own lock-picking business.

"Click! Click! "It's been another long time of fiddling, and the noodles still haven't succeeded in opening the door. As he himself said. With the current situation, it is really difficult to successfully unlock the lock. After all, the original design of this door did not have the option to open from the inside.

"Let's go!" The door lock, which had been opened, suddenly made a different sound than before. Barrett asked with a smile on his face, "Are you opening the noodles?" ”

"Not yet! A way has been found, though. Only one last step is missing. As he spoke, he took out the shaped pipes he had previously bought from the Tome Society from his coat pocket - before he was imprisoned, the players were only confiscated by the Church of the Just Lord, and the other party would not look into it as long as it was not a dangerous item.

Holding the pipe, which had become much brighter than before, he took the noodles in one gulp and inhaled harder. Then he puffed out his cheeks and aimed at the gap, and a mouthful of white smoke erupted.

After making this qiē noodle, he used his two fingers to constantly stir through the smoke that did not dissipate. Immediately afterwards, the white smoke gradually changed into a scaffold-like structure under the control of the halfling.

Looking at this change in front of him, Barrett really felt that the pipe-like strange thing was with the right person. If you want to create such an intricate structure out of metal, even if you find a first-class craftsman, it will take you several days from design to finishing. The amount of gold spent is probably not a small amount. Noodles can easily turn that wisp of light smoke into the appearance in front of them, even if it is easy to manipulate strange objects, but it is difficult for people who are not ingenious to do it.

As the structure is complete, the noodles pull the two tools that were inserted before. I only heard a "smash" sound, and at the same time, the wooden door in front of me vibrated slightly.

"That's it! The door has finally opened. I was almost exhausted! As he spoke, he wiped his sweaty noodles and immediately tapped the shaped pipe on the door lock, restoring the white smoke into the pipe.

Pushing open the cell door, Barrett and Noodle walked out of the cell immediately saw the jailer's ecstatic expression in front of them. Obviously, the success of the two of them in opening this prison door really solved a crisis up and down the prison.

The jailer, who patted his chest with peace of mind, said, "Please follow me to the warden's office to go through the formalities!" ”

"Please lead the way!" As he spoke, Barrett picked up his package and made a gesture of please. The jailer was after both of them had reached the hallway. He closed the door, which was not easily visible from the outside. Then he took easy steps and led the way ahead.

All the way. The inmates in the nearby cage coaxed Barrett and Noodles into action.

"Why haven't I seen these two boys!"

"What's so strange about people you haven't met. Do you know all the people in this world? Not to mention this world, even if it's in Repulse City......"

“…… So you're a newcomer? Come back to us often when you have time......"

"That's right! Come back quickly. ”

"What a noise! What are you arguing about! As he spoke, the jailer struck the iron railing with a long wooden stick wrapped with iron at both ends of his hand, preventing the prisoners from continuing to heckle. Then he turned around: "Two, the scum here just can't see others!" Normally, we do our best not to lock up young people who accidentally step on the wrong foot with them. Even if those teenagers have the heart to turn back, they will definitely be pulled down into the abyss by these scumbags. ”

Barrett's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he knew in his heart that those young people who accidentally stepped on the wrong step were basically first-time offenders who made money at home, but he still had to praise it: "It's rare that you still have this mind!" Sometimes a gesture is enough to save a family. ”

Now that Barrett is such a good jailer, the players will immediately start chatting with each other. A few minutes later. The three arrived at the warden's office. The warden glanced at Noodles and Barrett, and quickly signed their release certificates, as if he didn't want them to stay here any longer.

After receiving the signed paper, Barrett then asked, "Thank you very much Mr. Warden for taking care of you, your food here tastes good." By the way, did we have anything special going on outside during your few days here? ”

"Leave early if there is nothing to do, I am not a noble prison here, I don't want to see an uncle like you again. The Holy Warriors of His Highness, the Lord of Justice, are waiting for you outside! Don't keep you waiting, he knows more about what you want to ask than I do. The warden, who was anxious to get rid of them, apparently did not bother to say anything, and turned to the jailer and ordered, "Take them out." ”

Hear the warden's orders. The jailer immediately resumed his work as a guide. And as Barrett and Noodle see the sunlight outside the prison again, the heavy iron door slammed shut behind the two of them.

"Really! I won't even say goodbye! Barrett turned his head, touched his nose, and said something quiptic.

"Hello! Mr. Boreham. I am the Holy Samurai Dorsol sent by the Church of the Lord of Justice to take you to the Temple. With this voice. A handsome man in shiny half-body armor appears in front of Barrett. In addition to the simple scales and swords carved into his chest, there was a warhammer. From this, it can be seen that this paladin's status in the Church of the Lord of Justice is much higher than that of his companion Mario, who has been separated!

Barrett, who saw the person coming, stretched out his right hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Saul." Are you here to take us back the equipment that was stored in the Zài church? ”

"Yes! On top of that, our head of the group would like to meet you. The Paladin of Duosol said with a smile.

"Then let's hurry on our way! Don't let that old gentleman wait. With that, Barrett grabbed the halfling and carried him on his shoulder.

The noodles dangling from all fours beat Barrett's shoulder and protested: "Barrett, you can put it down, I can walk by myself!" ”

"Don't do that, you two! In fact, we still have plenty of time. The Dorthor Paladin waved his hand.

After hearing this, Barrett, who had put down the noodles, asked, "If there is enough time, can Mr. Duosol tell us about what has happened outside when we are in prison these days?" (To be continued!)
