6 Rudimentary plans and spell suspicions

Under the light of the torches in the corridor, two figures, one strong and one thin, sat at the round table where the guards had been sitting, and while vigilantly scanning the stairs leading to the upper floor not far from the round table, they discussed softly.

"If I am not bad, this dungeon has four floors, we should be on the third floor now, the upper floor is the noble prisoner detention point, the cell door is very strict, it is expected that there will be no guards, but the top level and the traitor corridor above the dungeon will definitely be guarded, if you want to escape from here, you must conquer these two places."

"It's true that there is no guard upstairs; A hallway at the top? ”

"No, it's a tower, let's call it the Traitor's Corridor, this tower is a cell for prisoners, underground and aboveground, the upper ground holds nobles who have status but has committed trivial crimes, and the underground is some ordinary prisoners and felons," said the prisoner named Eddard, glancing at Charles, "and some guys who need to be interrogated.

Seeing Charles's thoughtful look, he added: "Few people can escape here, because the traitor corridor is inside the castle, and there are a large number of guards patrolling it, so they can rush to support at any time in case of emergency. Not to mention that, its own defense reserves are not something that the two of us can deal with. ”

"Even if you add your... The same goes for your skeletons. The middle-aged prisoner said, and couldn't help but glance at the dry skeleton standing behind Charles again.

Aside from the fact that there were some dried blood streaks stuck to the groin and skeleton, it was generally indistinguishable from normal human bones.

Of course, this had to exclude the faint green light in his hollow eye sockets.

The green light was very inconspicuous, and he probably couldn't see it in the sun, but at this time the environment they were in was relatively dark, so he naturally noticed it.

It's a magical artifact, black magic that has long since disappeared into history!

Holding back the throbbing and complexity in his heart, he said to Charles, "But we can create some chaos, such as releasing the prisoners, of course, they can't escape from the Red Keep, so we don't count it as a crime." At this point, his tone was very low, as if he was not used to this kind of thing,

Charles wanted to say that it was important to escape, and it didn't matter if it was a crime, but seeing that this guy was thinking clearly, he didn't interrupt rashly.

"But there is one last hurdle, the Red Fort is a castle where the royal family lives, with a strict structure, surrounded by walls, and heavily guarded, so under normal circumstances, we can't escape at all, unless we have a large number of elite soldiers, but obviously we don't."

Speaking of this, Ed paused and looked at Charles, as if waiting for his reaction.

"Since you can take this into account, you will definitely not make the decision to run away with me in a reckless manner." Charles said: "So what can you do?" ”

"I'm still considering whether I should take the risk with you." Ed said noncommittally, and then said, "My daughter once told me that there is a secret passage under the Red Keep that leads to King's Landing, and although I don't know the exact location, we can try to find it. ”

"Where's the approximate location?"

"It should be near the virgin's house."

"Okay." Charles nodded kindly, got up and said, "Then do it!" ”

He is not familiar with this at all, so naturally he can't command blindly, he can do whatever this guy plans, and the situation will not be worse than it is now anyway.

……

The plan is to first figure out the situation of the guards on the top floor of the dungeon, if there are few people, consider attacking directly, and if there are many people, find a way to get the key, release the prisoners on the second floor and attack them together, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape this dungeon.

To be honest, the plan was rudimentary, and the hope of escape seemed slim, but no matter how slim it was, it was better to try it than to stay here and do nothing.

Eddard couldn't do anything but give advice because of his leg problems, so he stayed here while Charles went up to investigate the situation and further release the prisoners. He is not very familiar with this kind of thing, but people are forced out, even if they are not familiar with it, in the face of crisis, they have to do it.

Taking a deep breath, he quietly moved upstairs.

Charles didn't have a skeleton with him, because he had to figure out the above details before he could move further, and he wouldn't do it, so there was no need to bring a skeleton.

Under Ed's watchful eye, Charles strolled upstairs and eventually disappeared from view.

"Old God bless, may he be well......" he began to pray silently.

Internally, he didn't have any hope that the two would escape, because he knew the Red Keep, and it was safe to say that it was the enemy's stronghold, and it was in danger.

So not to mention that Charles still carries his disability, even if he goes on the road alone, even if he carries a weird and terrifying skeleton, it is impossible to escape.

It's just that out of the unwillingness in his heart, from the instinctive self-blame and honor, from the glimmer of hope brought by the unknown magic, he can't let himself stay here calmly and wait for tomorrow's judgment!

Yes, tomorrow he will be judged by the queen and the new king, in the cathedral of St. Belle, under the watchful eye of all the inhabitants of King's Landing. This was told to him by a certain great eunuch who secretly ran to him tonight.

He also gave Ed a quote - "As long as you confess your treason and acknowledge and uphold Prince Joffrey's kingship, then the queen and our new king may consider releasing your daughter and allowing you to wear a black robe." ”

Is he really guilty?

No! He was not guilty.

He just lost the Game of Thrones.

So he was unwilling!

Mixed thoughts flashed through his mind, but Ed suddenly heard footsteps at the staircase, and couldn't help but open his eyes, and when he looked up, Charles's figure came into view.

"So fast?"

"Investigate."

"How?"

"As you might expect, there will be no more than five guards at the top of the dungeon."

"That ......"

"The key was conspicuously hung by a guard on his waist, but he was already asleep." Charles approached and slumped in his chair, and said helplessly: "The others are gambling money, and it is estimated that it will not be over for a while." ”

"We can wait."

"Wait until they're done gambling? What if they don't sleep all night? ”

"You can only attack when their defense is the most lax, otherwise there is no chance of winning."

"But if we don't have that chance, then we're hopeless." Charles said, "Maybe we can try to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

He actually didn't say a word, that is, he would be able to leave here in a few hours, and he probably wouldn't be in any danger by then, but this kind of thing always had to be prepared for a rainy day, and if he was still in this place the next time he came in, wouldn't he have to find a way to escape from prison again?

It's best to take advantage of this one......

After a moment of silence, Ed looked at the motionless White Bone standing beside him.

"You can only summon this one?"

"This ......" Charles said with a hesitation on his face, uncertain, "It seems to be." ”

There is not much knowledge about this spell in the memory of the original owner, and in this limited memory, there is no such knowledge about quantity.

His notebook had been looted again, and now he didn't know where to put it, and he couldn't check it if he wanted to.

Normally, however, beginners should only summon one ...... Right?

Because he was in a hurry before, he didn't have time to think about this question, but now that he was reminded by the ice wolf, Charles was thoughtful.

No one says beginners can only summon one, so maybe they can use it again?

Try?

If you can summon a lot, then there's no need to think about the dangers of luring the snake out of the hole - there are five guards on it instead of two, and it's easy to get away with it if you're not careful.

"It's bloody, you stay here first."

After giving Ed a word, he looked around and walked briskly to the cell where the dead prisoners he had seen when he had been looking for his allies.

Pulling off the black skull necklace he was wearing around his neck, he took a deep breath and began to do the trick after recalling the process.

Because he wasn't bound, he didn't need to put the necklace to his eyes this time, he only needed to grab the necklace in his hand and aim it at the corpse, both of which existed in his field of vision, and the prerequisite for the spell to be activated was thus achieved.

In the dark and cold cell, everything was ready, and Charles began to chant the incantation:

"Defend the dead, Charr. In the name of Cranston, I ask for your help."

"This curse is born and therefore extinguished."

"O nameless man who died tragically"

"Resurrect you!"

……

[You tried to resuscitate the corpse of a prisoner, and your spell failed]

The message drifted by, the corpse didn't react, and the spell didn't take on the weird tone he had used to cast successfully.

Charles was not discouraged, after all, he had a lot of effort when he first performed it, and although he had made some progress now, it was impossible to succeed in one go.

So he began to chant again without a pause.

The second and third time, when the fourth time he read it, the normal words in the young man's mouth suddenly turned into a low, ethereal, and noisy murmur.

Under the murmur, the decaying gray gas gathered out of thin air from all directions like silk threads, and finally penetrated into the corpse's ears and nose under the influence of some kind of thought, and thenβ€”

A strange sobbing sound suddenly appeared in this quiet cell, suddenly, terrifying and terrifying, Charles was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked nervously, only to see that the corpse's eyes that should have been closed had been unconsciously opened, green tendons were rising, his mouth was wide open, and he stared at the top of the cell, his pupils were gray.

"How is it a little different from the first one?" Slightly relaxed, Xia Erfu frowned in confusion again.

However, before he could continue to think about it, the corpse changed again.

From its wide, pale mouth, a wisp of gray air rose inexplicably, and then, very strangely, the originally erect chest paused like a deflated ball, its eyes closed, and its open lips slowly closed.

[You tried to resuscitate the corpse of a prisoner, and your spell failed]
