Chapter 25: The Tenth Floor of the Bastille
Walking through the labyrinth and coming to the entrance of the ninth floor, Rao was mentally prepared, but Meng Yuchen and Filch still pouted. Leading to the 9th and 10th districts is a deep pit with a radius of about five meters. According to Ye Chenhan's data, this vertical downward passage is two hundred meters deep, and the four sides are the same as the four walls of the pit on the upper layer, not only are they invulnerable to magic reinforcement, but they are also as smooth as a mirror and completely powerless!
"Is the designer of this prison a dace or a Maus?" Meng Yuchen couldn't help but sigh. The Bastille itself is already 500 meters underground. The passage to the ninth and tenth districts is thirty or forty meters deep, and this passage is another 200 meters! The tenth district is still two hundred meters below the ninth district, and this guy is thousands of meters deep! I feel that there are only mace, pangolins and mouses, who would do such a project?
"Looks like a dace!" Filch laughed, and then swung his knife into a slash that smashed the lift, and the two looked at each other and jumped down the pit. Moments later, shrill sirens sounded throughout the Bastille. Immediately after, a rumbling sounded, and a passage slowly opened on the central platform, and Major General Hudley rushed down with a garrison of troops.
Seeing the shattered lifting platform, Major General Hedley's face sank like water. Before the forbidden enchantment failed, Hedley was still looking forward to what might be an ordinary failure, just maintain it. As a result, the patrol found that the guard at the gate of a passage leading to the ninth district was missing. After opening the door lock, he found that all the crossbowmen in the corridor had been killed! Major General Hedley realized that someone had really infiltrated, and the targets were obviously the 9th and 10th districts!
Passing through the labyrinth was too slow and not suitable for a large number of people to enter, Major General Hedley directly ordered the passage to open the central platform. Then I found that the lifting platform leading to the ninth and tenth districts had been destroyed! Without the lifting platform, it was much more difficult to go down and up! Not to mention anything else, the height of 200 meters is not something that anyone can go back and forth!
Even if it is a samurai at the level of an earth fighter, it is more than ten meters high in one jump, and twenty or thirty meters from a height down. No matter how much it is, it's hard to say if it can be done. More than fifty meters, it is difficult to say that you will die by falling, but it is certain that you will break your leg. Unless you reach the Heaven Seiya or a mage of the earth and wind types, you can use the Wind Wing Technique, the Levitation Technique, or the Anti-Gravity Technique. Wind wing and levitation are just low-level magic of the wind system. But anti-gravity is an alternative use of gravity, and gravity is magister-level magic!
Compared with Francisco and Jiangnan in the Western Regions, the Moyue Empire was originally short of magicians. There were even fewer garrisons in the Bastille! The few magicians were all fire and earth, and there was also a water type, and none of them had more titles than those of the advanced level. This is not surprising, usually most of the Bastille is covered by the forbidden demon barrier, and it is useless to ask for a magician.
"Bastard!" Hedley cursed, and then said, "You guys hurry up and ask for help from the imperial capital, as well as the nearest city and temple! It's very likely that there is an organized prison robbery, I'll go down and take a look!" he said that he didn't care about the others, and jumped down the passage. Major General Hedley was also helpless, there was not a single wind mage in the entire Bastille, and there was no high-level earth mage. The only one who can pass through this channel directly is himself. It's dangerous to go alone, but you can't take care of that much. If those guys in the 9th and 10th districts are released, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Long before Major General Hudley and the others opened the central platform passage, Meng Yuchen and Filch had already passed through the passage to the ninth district. When they got here, even Filch and Meng Yuchen, who had super night vision, had to use some lighting tools.
After killing the guards who were hiding in the shadows and wanted to sneak attack the two Night Elves, Meng Yuchen and the others looked at the ninth district.
The ninth ward is a large circular platform with only ten cells, each in a circle around it, with an open space in the middle. Only three cells were in use. There was a Rhine man, a Pier man, and a Boer man who didn't look like him.
This is a little different from the information that Ye Chenhan gave to the two of them, in Ye Chenhan's information, there should only be two people in the ninth district. If you look closely, the Rhine's beard is black, and it is a rare black lion! He is the son and nephew of the current Beast Emperor, and has won the National Golden Crown Gladiator Championship for three consecutive years. Known as the "Night Lion King". As a result, the Night Lion King actually coveted the throne and led a private army to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and the result was obvious, but because of his status as a great nobleman, he was exempted from the death penalty and was imprisoned here.
Another Pier is also listed in the information of Yechenhan as Tenamo Willitan, who was once a Templar. And not just an ordinary Templar, the highest Templar! Fought to death many times, and finally raped the priestess after drinking. He also escaped death because of his status as a great nobleman and was imprisoned here.
The first two are all in Ye Chenhan's information, only the last strange Boer is not in Ye Chenhan's information. It is estimated that nine times out of ten, it has only been locked in for a long time, and Ye Chenhan has not paid attention to it.
"Do you want to let them out?" Meng Yuchen asked.
"It's all the worst of the worst......" Filch hesitated, and finally shook his head and said, "Let's go and release that person first!"
"Little cub, let us out!" the voices of the two woke Tenamo Willitan, who had been sleeping. He threw himself to the edge of his cell and let out an earth-shattering roar. Grabbed the railing on the door and shook it. However, his hands and feet are all wearing sealing rings, and even though he is born with divine power, he can't move the railing of the thickness of the sea bowl.
His voice also woke the Night Lion King Hadnan Caesar and the Boer man, but neither of them made any moves.
"Shut up, stupid big man!" Meng Yuchen glanced at Willitan coldly: "It's because you're so brainless that you're locked up here like an animal!"
"Hey!" Willitan really didn't make any more noise, but said fiercely: "Little cub, when I come out, I will definitely kill you, I will tear you alive, hehehe!"
"Then you have to come out first!" Meng Yuchen sneered, and followed Filch to the center of the ninth district, the familiar routine, and the downward pothole. However, the slight difference is that the entrance to the cave is blocked by an iron door. Ye Chenhan's information also does not mention the folding iron door!
"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor also has something that he doesn't know!" Meng Yuchen said with a smile.
"Maybe he doesn't think it's a small problem, right?" Filch smiled casually, and with a flick of his wrist, the full moon blade on his waist popped out and slashed up.
There was a crisp sound, and the full moon blade was bounced off! Meng Yuchen and Filch were all stunned. You must know that although the main body of Filch's scimitar is only Yunsen platinum silver, the surface is also plated with a layer of mythril! Coupled with the fighting spirit of the Heaven Warrior level, it can be called indestructible! But when the knife slashed up, it was bounced off?
Meng Yuchen stepped forward to take a closer look, and there was only a crack the thickness of a toothpick where the blade slashed. And that door was two inches thick!
"How is this possible?" Filch looked incredulous, and Meng Yuchen also looked incomprehensible.
"What's impossible?" said the man who looked like a Boer clan said lightly, "That's Star Gold! Even if your blade is plated with Mithril and your fighting spirit level is good, but Star Goldsteel is a hard metal second only to Adamantite Gold and Mithril. It's not something your silver-plated knife can handle, not to mention it's magically reinforced!"
"Xingchen Golden Steel?" Meng Yuchen frowned, he naturally knew about this metal, but he hadn't seen it much. Looking down and looking closely, the folding door is slightly sunken on the ground, and the threads and seams are unrealistic, if there is no correct way to open, it is unrealistic to expect to pry open and move open. And now it can't be split...... Meng Yuchen had a headache.
"What bullshit, look at me!" Filch sneered, tucking the scimitar into his pocket. Untie the long strip of baggage behind your back, revealing a strangely shaped long sword. The moment the long sword was taken out of the package, the temperature of the entire cell dropped several degrees at once.
"What a powerful sword!" the Boer man was slightly surprised.
"It's indeed a good sword!" Hadnan, the Night Lion King who had been silent, also spoke: "But it's a powerful evil spirit, hehe, I like it! Wolf imp over there, can you show me the sword?"
Filch ignored them at all, and the sword in his hand was raised high, and a cold light flashed. The floodgates of the stars and steel broke in response! Frost's sorrow is worthy of an artifact-level divine sword. It's just that the stars are golden, and it's not enough to see in front of it!
Ignoring the amazement of the three people in District 9, the two of them were ready to jump down the aisle again. At this moment, there was a faint buzzing sound from above, which was the sound of Major General Headley ordering the platform to be opened. The two-hundred-meter channel formed a sound channel, transmitting the sound from above, and although it was weakened a lot, it could still be heard clearly.
"Hurry up!" Filch and Meng Yuchen exchanged a look, Meng Yuchen kicked the lifting platform on the side, and the two jumped down one after another. A moment later, Meng Yuchen and Filch arrived at District 10.
The 10th arrondissement is similar to the 9th arrondissement, and it is also a large circular platform. There were only three cells, though, and only one of them was occupied. Unlike the ninth floor, which was pitch black, the cell was also dark. The only occupied cell on the tenth floor had an oil lamp in the corner. The room was not an ordinary cell, it was clean and tidy, except for a small bed, there was a desk and a chair. A thin man was sitting in a chair, reading a book by the light of an oil lamp on the wall.
It was an old man with white hair, who at first glance looked like Wolf, and a Wolf's tail. However, although his body is thin, his skeleton is large. Although sitting, it still looks a little taller than Filch, who is in his early eights. As if hearing the movement, the man turned his head, his face was handsome, and he looked quite bookish, and he couldn't tell his age for a while. His eyes were deep, but as clear as a spring. Seeing the two of them, they were stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's rare, no one has come down for a long time." "The voice is gentle and clear, and people feel good when they hear it. He had a gray prison uniform, which was clean and clean. The hands, feet, and necks all have sealed rings. But even so, there were still faint elemental fluctuations rippling from him.
The image of this person surprised Meng Yuchen and Filch a little, after all, this person was rumored to be one of the most evil people in Mo Yue in the past hundred years!
"Are you, Rasputin?" Meng Yuchen asked with some uncertainty.
"Probably no one but me will be locked up here, right?" the man, or rather, Rasputin smiled and nodded.
