Chapter 57: The Shelter
No sooner had he defeated the mighty Iron Giant, and dozens of men burst out of the prison and surrounded the four of his companions with various weapons, all of whom were glaring and hostile
Even the prison was occupied by the worm walking corpse, and Ishnova's voice trembled
Cassius said: They are not worm-dead corpses, but thinking living beings
What the hell are they trying to do?
Joyka sneered: It's definitely not going to be a good thing anyway
As the four spoke, dozens of armed men approached step by step...... Suddenly, a middle-aged man with yellow hair yelled: Kill them, this man is holding a long sword, which is the only item that can be called a weapon among them, he seems to be the leader of this group, and he ordered dozens of people to wave it at the same time, and the guy in his hand pounced
Stop me, just as the tension was blowing, a very old but very majestic voice suddenly came from the direction of the prison
As soon as they heard the shouting, dozens of people immediately stopped their hands and stepped back, and the crowd automatically separated, and the partners saw an old man with white hair standing at the gate of the prison
Minister, these guys have ruined our 'protectors', and the yellow-haired middle-aged man didn't understand this order, and said indignantly to the old man who had just appeared
I saw Sakharov, you come back first, and the old man said calmly
No, these people are too dangerous, they must be eliminated, and the yellow-haired man named Sakharov still holds his mind
Although there are many of you, you are no match for them, and those who can defeat the 'protectors' will not be simple, and I will take care of the rest
This...... Well, Sakharov thought about it for a while and decided to obey the order, and the dozens of people, led by Sakharov, returned to the old man
When the old man first appeared, Cassius and Ishinova were excited, it was you, Putin's minister, Cassius said loudly, I am Cassius, Reguno Gagarin's student, and Ischennova is also there
I knew the old man nodded slightly
Uncle Shuvashenki, you recognize us, Ishnova said gloomily
This old man was the one who was in the valley of sin that day...... When he first saw the old man, Ray already felt very familiar, and after being reminded by Cassius and Ischennova, he immediately recalled that although he had only had a relationship with the old man once, the events of that day were still vivid
Slowly, Joyka was confused about who this old man was
Joyka Don't Be Rude, he is one of the members of the core council of power, Minister of Discipline: Shuvashenki Putin, Kasius
Hmph, the power core meeting is long gone, the Snowy Federation also exists in name only, what is the 'Minister of Discipline', forget it, talk to us, Shuvashenki turned around and walked towards the prison gate
Your Excellency, they ...... Sakharov immediately rushed to Shuvashenki and said that he did not understand
Rest assured, Sakharov, they are not enemies
The partners exchanged eye contact for a while, and then followed dozens of people led by Shuvashenki and Sakharov into the prison of Porfishagrad, and when everyone entered the prison, the huge black iron door slammed shut
The prison is not as dark and terrifying as most people think, because the prison is built between two mountains, and the sun can still be seen overhead, but as soon as he stepped into the prison door, Cassius felt the magic in his body stir, as if there was an invisible binding force, forming a strong confinement of the magic on his body, Cassius felt oppressed, almost suffocated, he screamed, bent down and supported the ground with one hand, and the other hand held his forehead, his expression was quite painful
Brother
Cassius
Ray and Ischenova shouted at the same time, reaching out together to help Cassius, who was in a wheelchair, and Ishnova's hands were not long enough, and finally Ray helped Cassius up
You old bastard actually led us into a trap, and Joyka pointed at the old man and told me what you had done to Cassius, or I would be unkind to you
At this time, Joyka's right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, making a fighting gesture, and if necessary, he would draw his sword and rush forward to hold the old man hostage, and Joyka was confident that he would definitely be able to do this in a tenth of a second
Do you dare Sakharov hurriedly drew his long sword and stopped sideways in front of Shuvashenki
Just because you try to compete with me, your end will be quite tragic, and Joika coldly threatened
Don't be impulsive, young man Shuvashenki's expression was calm, he gently brushed Sakharov away and walked to Joyka, the fat man's affairs have nothing to do with me, give him this thing and wear it around his neck, he will naturally be fine, and the old man stretched out his dry hand and took out a black piece of metal from his pocket
Joyka scrutinized the piece of metal: it was about 25 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and half a centimeter thick, and it looked heavy, pitch black, and it was covered with all kinds of strange magical symbols with white metal like mercury, and the ends of the metal piece were connected by a slender iron chain, which looked like it could be hung around the neck
However, years of bounty hunter life precipice had made Joyka develop a sense of vigilance far beyond ordinary people, and just as Joyka was skeptical about whether this was another trap, Ray could not hold back a lunge and rushed forward to snatch the metal piece from the old man's hand
Ray was careful, and before Joyka's warning could be finished, Ray had already hung a piece of black metal around Cassius's neck
The effect of the metal sheet was immediately visible, and the heavy feeling of oppression disappeared suddenly, Cassius felt much better, he stood up, bowed slightly, and said to Shuvashenki very politely: Thank you, Minister Putin
It's okay, anyway, it's useless for me to keep this thing, the old man turned around and walked deeper into the prison, and the others followed closely
Although the episode has passed, the estrangement has not disappeared between the two gangs
I don't understand why you suddenly feel uncomfortable as soon as you step through the door, Joyka asked softly to Cassius before he cleared the doubts in his heart
You look around Cassius said
Joyka looked around, only to see that the walls and the floor were covered with all kinds of magic circles and magic symbols of different sizes
Cassius explained: "We entered a prison, I have read in the book before, the prison of the Snowy Federation, among the prisoners, some of them are powerful magicians, in order to prevent people from using magic to escape from prison, when it was first built, magic suppression enchantments were arranged around the prison to imprison the mana of those mage prisoners, and this thing I am wearing is the certificate of the prison guards, and it is also an item that can isolate magic and suppress the power of the enchantment, as long as you wear it, the guards can freely cast spells in the prison
Ishennova asks another question: why Uncle Shuvashenki doesn't need to wear it, he's a one-ring mage
Shuvashenki, who was walking in the front, heard the conversation between them, but ignored it, continued to lead the way, and the group passed through three thick gates in a row and came to a relatively empty place
How could so many people look at Yiqiē in front of them in surprise
The place was once the torture hall of the prison, but now it is occupied by a dense network of tents and figures, and it is bustling with people, countless people coming and going in and out of the tents, and some people lying on the ground looking at the sky without a sudden, and their faces are full of haggard and anxious waiting
All the cells are full, and the four of you will find a place to squeeze here, and after Shuvashenki has finished speaking, he will turn around and leave with Sakharov and his men
Ray blocked the way of Shuvashenki and Sakharov and others, sorry, I don't quite understand
Didn't you come to this shelter in search of refuge, Shuvashenki frowned
Refuge Cassius Road: Are you talking about this......
You don't know whether it's true or not, Shuvashenki looks unhappy
I'm sorry, we've only been in the Snowy Federation for four days, and Ishnova replied that we spent the first three days on the edge of the silverwind taiga, and we only stepped into Polfishagrad this morning, completely unaware of what was going on in the Federation
As early as when I saw this fat man outside the door and could cast magic without any scruples, I guessed that you might have come in from the outside, well, since you don't know anything, then I'll tell you, the old man said that after the outbreak of the plague of the worm and the walking corpse, everyone who has the ability to fight will join the battle, including the guards in the prison, and the prisoners who were originally locked in the prison took the opportunity to escape, and because of this, the prison with complete defense equipment will become a refuge for the survivors, and now there are about 5,000 people living in this prison
More than 5,000 people were staggered
Yes, among them were the citizens of Porfishagrad, as well as those who had fled from other parts of the Federation, and Sakharov was annoyed that because your recklessness destroyed the 'protectors' and exposed more than 5,000 of us to danger
'Protector,' are you talking about the big iron bump outside, Joyka raised her eyebrows contemptuously, who is to blame, when the war starts, you would rather hide behind the iron gate than come out to give a notice, should we obediently stand still and let you 'protectors' step on and burn to death
You...... Hmph, Sakharov was angry, but Joyka made a point, the protectors were destroyed, and they themselves were to blame, and Sakharov didn't know how to refute it
Okay, Sakharov takes your people to rest, I have a few questions for these new guests
After sending Sakharov and his men away, Shuvashenki Putin turned to Cassius and the four of them and said: Since you are not here to take refuge, what is the purpose of coming here?
