Chapter 158: Finding a Target
"This place is different from the palace above, and there is no magic circle to suppress spiritual power. After Xiao Chen entered the dungeon, he didn't feel the suppressed sense of mental power that he expected.
Glade said in Xiao Chen's mind: "The materials of that kind of magic suppression array are expensive, and they still need to be replenished in use, they were originally used to protect those nobles from assassination, who would use such an expensive thing in the dungeon? ”
"I remember that in the slave camps, the slave merchants used debilitating potions, why do they use seals here?" Xiao Chen asked.
Glade replied, "Because this kind of sealing will damage people's realm and strength for a long time, especially the mental power will be greatly traumatized. The slaves were to be sold for a good price, how could the slave traders use such means to reduce the value of their goods? But the prisoners were a different matter, and perhaps the damage to this strength was deliberately done by the royal family, just to weaken the strength of those nasty ghosts. ”
"There's also a circle here, I feel it. Xiao Chen said.
Glade said, "That's the magic circle that detects invisibility, and for us mages, if there is no magic circle that detects invisibility somewhere, it will be too easy to blend in." ”
Bevero pulled the cart past the middle of the cell and beckoned the prisoners to push the bedpan out of their room from under the fence, and he and Xiao Chen dumped the contents into the cart's vat one by one, and then stuffed the bedpan back. Most of the prisoners will cooperate because their cells taste better, but there are also some prisoners who ignore them, and Bivero will ignore them. After walking through the first layer of the cell like this, Xiao Chen found that all the people imprisoned here were small people, and there were very few middle-level mages, and there were even many ordinary prisoners.
"The person you're going to see, if it's a strong mage, won't be locked up here. The more important and dangerous the prisoner, the higher the prisoner. That way, if something happens, it's easier for those guards to take care of it. Bivero said to him.
They returned the three large barrels on the first floor to the ox cart, replaced them with a few new ones, and went down a ramp to the second level.
Sure enough, as he said, the second floor alone was bigger and stronger than the first. There were also a lot more guards patrolling back and forth, and Xiao Chen could see that the strength of the prisoners held here was much higher, and Xiao Chen even found that several well-known high-level mages were also locked up on this floor. However, he did not act rashly, and he still had to remain secluded and low-key until he had observed the whole situation. He didn't say a word, and obediently followed Bivero to work.
After walking through the second floor, even Bivero looked at him with admiration, "You are much more reliable than the people I brought before, this gesture, this posture, others really can't see it, you are a guy who wants to blend in." ”
"On this floor, there is no one I am looking for. Xiao Chen whispered.
"It's amazing. Bivero glanced at him a few times, "There are all incredible characters on it, it seems that you are really not simple." My friend. ”
"I've said it a long time ago, he's a master. Xiao Chen said.
"Well, I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, let's move on to the next level. Bivero shook his head.
As soon as Xiao Chen came to the third floor of the dungeon, he found that the biggest difference between this place and the following was that there was no lingering stench in the dungeon. There was already some furniture in the cell here, at least a bed, a table and chairs, and some rooms even had bookshelves and the like, presumably for the real bigwigs.
The commode in the room here had been taken out by the jailer in advance and placed next to the cell, and all Bivero and Xiao Chen had to do was to dump it clean and put it back in place.
But here, Xiao Chen finally found the person he was looking for, Master Kona.
When Xiao Chen came to Master Kona's cell, he was sitting cross-legged and meditating. With the Forbidden Demon Seal on your body, meditation is very difficult and inefficient. But Kona sat there, meditating with the mental power that he was not even as good as a magic apprentice right now.
Xiao Chen gestured to Vero, and then nodded to Master Kona in the room. Bivero responded to his gesture and hummed a minor tune as he walked to the side, trying to attract the attention of the few guards around him.
Xiao Chen seized the time to cast a soul bridge and connect into Master Kona's consciousness.
Then he sent him a message: "Master Kona, I'm Xiao Chen. I got in and saved you. ”
Master Kona's eyes snapped open and he saw Xiao Chen standing outside the fence.
"You're back in the royal capital, and with you, we have more hope of escaping. But the guards here are not easy to deal with. How many people did you bring with you?"
"Add me to a total of four. Xiao Chen said, "I don't know how much strength the guards upstairs have, but the ones I've seen on the lower three floors, as long as I can go over and remove your seal, it won't take much effort to solve them." ”
"The Demon Forbidden Seal is very difficult to break. It takes time for even a master to do it. Master Kona said.
Xiao Chen said: "I'm going to restore the strength of some people first, and the others just need to run away." I don't know who is better at cracking these things, though? I have a powerful dispel scroll that should directly dispel a forbidden seal. I need him to help me break more seals when he wakes up. ”
"Master Gordon has some research in this area. It's not the best, but it should help you. He lived in the cell opposite. Master Kona said.
After Xiao Chen contacted Master Gordon, he didn't act immediately, and now is not the right time. He needs to solve the problem here in Bivero first.
"Finished?" Bivero asked.
"With that said, let's go. Xiao Chen said.
Bevero breathed a sigh of relief, at least the man didn't make a fuss in prison. When he and Xiao Chen transported the last cart of vats to the door of the lower building, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and hid in the shadow of a stone, while a self appeared out of thin air in front of him. This is Xiao Chen's new projection usage. Use a little distraction of your own to control the projected self. This Xiao Chen was no different from him, turned around and stepped out of the shadows, catching up with Bivello. The projection swaggered out of the gate in front of the guards, helping Ivero load his car and leave the dungeon.
"It's finally not out of the basket!" Bivero said to Xiao Chen in the car.
However, Xiao Chen on the side did not answer, and after smiling at him, he disappeared. Bivero was so shocked that he almost fell out of the car. He panicked to see that there was no one left and right, hurriedly whipped the old cow hard, and left here as fast as he could.
