Chapter 12 Prisons
Capital Prison.
At the beginning of the construction of this prison, the prisoners were classified according to the degree of danger, and the most dangerous prisoners were generally imprisoned in the deepest depths, such as humans, creatures that belonged to the category of 'harmless small animals' for the demons, of course, were locked in the outermost layer.
These imprisoned humans were much luckier than the demonic criminals, at least they could see through the window the two moons in the sky of the Demon Realm.
It's a pity that the villagers who are imprisoned here don't have the heart to appreciate it, and no one will be in the mood to see any flowers and plants when they walk to the guillotine.
The villagers were collectively held in a cell large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the environment was not something that these 'harmless animals' could bear.
The smell of rancid and damp filled the prison, and the roar of some monster could be heard from time to time, leaving these hard-working villagers who had never seen much of the world in fear all the time.
"Lord Marina, do you think any Miss Magician can really escape from the Demon Realm?"
It was not only the villagers of the village who were imprisoned in this prison, but also the merchants and servants who had survived the caravan.
"I don't know, but that's probably our only hope."
The owner of the caravan is named Marina Jon, an old woman who is over seventy years old, and the years have left too many marks on her, not only the wrinkles and gray hair on her body, but also this indifferent attitude.
Marlena was probably the calmest human in the prison, her servants were in the same state of panic as the villagers, and some of the guards began to show their dark side to their own kind before they thought they could get out of the prison alive.
Luckily, the prison guards were cold-blooded enough to get rid of the scum who bared their fangs at their own kind.
Due to the rebellion of her guards, Marina's caravan was reduced from more than 20 to only her and one servant, and the goods were completely wiped out.
This is enough disaster for a merchant to break down, but Marlena is calm, she has spent the rest of her life in disasters, from the time her husband died suddenly for unknown reasons, and even her only child left her due to a serious illness, she said goodbye to the luxurious life of an aristocratic wife.
In order to shoulder her husband's family business, Marlena has been trying to run a business for all these years, and when she has just bought a property in Nolan, the magical capital, and is about to turn from a poor merchant to a full-fledged businessman, fate once again shows her a malicious smile at her.
Marlena survived such a tragic thing as the destruction of her family, and of course Marlena would not be afraid of the threat of death.
But that doesn't mean she's given up hope of survival......
"Even if she does manage to escape from the Demon Realm, she probably won't come back."
The servant said in a voice that bordered on despair.
The villagers in the prison only have a superficial understanding of magic, such as being able to use magical elements to make fires and make ice.
The magic of attack can make a small fireball is already powerful, and so is Marina, let alone teleporting such a high-level magic.
Their only hope was a sorceress, who was the only one to escape from this prison, and before escaping, at the behest of the villagers, she had promised that 'I would find helpers to get them out!' ’
Many people are clinging to this hope like spider silk, but Marlena knows that spider silk is always spider silk, and it will break if you pull it.
The strength shown by the Demon Realm Jailers just now is enough to prove all this, and there are some mercenaries with demon hunter qualifications among the guards she hired, but those guards were directly killed without even a minute of support in front of the Demon Realm Jailers.
It's like chopping vegetables.
It was even more impossible for the young sorceress to escape in the treacherous demon realm.
So Marlena has already begun to think about whether to write a suicide note.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps inside the prison again, and the desperate cries and whimpering in the cell turned to silence in this moment.
More than thirty villagers looked down the dark corridor, where masked guards dragged new humans into the cell.
When the villagers in the cell saw the human, the cries of fear turned into sneaky whispers.
Because her appearance is so... Attractive, beautiful can't describe the inner thoughts of these villagers, attracting talents is the most appropriate.
Ino could feel the gaze of the humans in the prison, and she had been living under it for a long time, so she was used to it.
'Your name is Belle, and you're a curious, brave human girl. ’
Qiao Xiu's voice still echoed in Ino's ears, and Ino didn't understand why Qiao Xiu wanted her to play this human role, but Ino still did her best to do her best.
Ino walked to a low window in his cell, tiptoeing to look out.
"Kid... Why did you get caught here? ”
Marina sat by the window, and she looked at the pretty young girl, and felt a pang of regret at the thought that she might be slain by the demon in the near future.
"I don't know... My village suffered the details of the robbers, and my father and mother told me to run away quickly... I escaped into an oak forest and was captured by a group of demons. ”
Eno made up the background of her identity for her, and sure enough, after hearing the sentence 'The village suffered the details, and her parents let her escape', many villagers present showed expressions of pity and sympathy.
In particular, Eno's performance is flawless, completely like an innocent little girl who is unaware but desperate to return to her village again.
"What a poor boy, those abominable robbers should be hanged on the gallows!"
"They are innocent."
Eno quickly gained the trust of the villagers and the indignation of the damn bandits, and Marina next to her also showed a sympathetic expression.
"I'm guessing your parents will be fine."
Marlena thought for a moment and comforted Eno with this sentence.
"It's going to be fine... I... Before I fled, I saw the robbers ...... my parents."
Ino didn't say anything more, her voice trembling a little, and you can imagine what the result would be.
"If the child wants to cry, cry out, you will feel better."
In Marina's opinion, Ino is completely holding on, and Ino wipes the tears from the corners of his eyes, which perfectly interprets the meaning of the word pretending to be strong.
What a strong child, Marina watched as Ino regained her motherhood that she hadn't seen in a long time.
If her child were still alive, it must be as old as her, right?
"If I don't mind, can I know your name?" Marlena asked.
"Belle."
Ino answered her according to the script given by Qiao Xiu.
