Chapter 197: A Special Reunion

Hiro walked into Andrari's prison, where he had lived for half a year, carrying a steaming sweet and sour fish, a functional justice building of a simple scale given the city's incredibly low crime rate. In the past six months, what Hero has seen the most is that innocuous criminals such as drunken trouble, empty-handed fights, and damage to public property have been punished. The fine was followed by a sentence of up to two weeks' imprisonment, and that's why there were only a handful of cases in six months. For a city with more than 10,000 permanent residents and a mix of ethnic groups, Hiro felt that this was already a very unusual number.

After greeting the dwarven guard at the door, Hiro walked straight into the interview room, which was separated by a two-finger-thick black iron railing. Not far from the reception room, in the hall, was the prisoners' activity room, where Hiro's former companions were bored and passing the time with a game of reversi.

Upon discovering Hiro's arrival, with the permission of the guards, nearly ten people gathered around the interview room. The extra food brought by Hiro was naturally one of the things they were looking forward to, but five kilograms of big fish was only a meal for these people, and what made them care more was the attitude of the owner of the city towards them.

The tabby, who had been following Hiro, cowered over the black iron fence and entered the prison, and the human prisoner used chopsticks to divide the part of the fish belonging to the lynx into a small plate, and after enjoying this delicious meal, the tabby would take a nap in the sunshine in the cell, and then began to have fun in the prison. The tabby's hunting instincts keep it from letting go of its small prey that hides in the corners and shiveres, even though it doesn't have much of an urgent need to hunt them now.

"I have asked Prosecutor Kassandra about us, and given that you are one of Andrari's first convicts serving long sentences, she has applied to Her Highness the Lord to kill time by letting you do some simple work. By resonating with amber, the voices of Hiro and the prisoners could reach the ears of the guards without hindrance.

"Find us something to do!?But what's the point of that? We want to hear about commutations and sentences outside of prison!!"

Newman, who was one of the older members of the adventurer's team, looked ugly, and he restrained his angry companions in a deep voice: "After listening to Hiro's words, don't you even have this patience? Or do you guys who are not afraid of the ground these days have the courage to fight for your life to escape from this prison!?"

The two guards standing in the corner of the interview room stared at the human prisoner with warning eyes, and Newman put on a flattering smile.

"Ms. Kassandra's proposal is aimed at improving your standard and quality of life, and the prison will be able to provide you with a wide range of civilian services if you are willing to complete the work assigned by the town hall. Hiro patiently explained to his former companions.

"What's that!?" someone couldn't wait to find out.

"First of all, we can start with food, and everyone can enjoy paid extra meals through their respective work quotas. The money will not be distributed in cash, and it is said that this is a decision made by His Highness to put an end to bribery and oppression in prison. At that time, a fairy teller will be assigned to record everyone's working hours and needs. ”

"Can you buy anything, what's in this city?" finally heard the good news, and the prisoners, who were almost suffocating lice in their cells, became excited.

"First of all, there are not too many restrictions on food and clothing, and all metal utensils, including any tools and jewelry, are not accepted as contraband. In addition, the prosecutor's wife has privately revealed to me that if everyone behaves well, they can even serve a certain amount of alcohol every week...... "Hiro's expression was very serious, and if the prison system could be carried out as scheduled, then these so-called prisoners would not be much different from those outsiders who came to Andrarui to beg for a living, except that their freedom of life was restricted.

"And what about commutation?" Newman's focus has never changed, as he is one of the few inmates in this group of human beings who have served twelve years in prison.

According to the prosecutor's tone, other issues will probably not be considered until the system of in-prison work is successfully implemented. Hiro explained in as calm a tone as possible.

"It's okay, I still have a long time to spend here...... Aside from the fact that there are as many rats, this place is like heaven compared to the prison of a human city-state. As soon as he remembered the horrific situation of the city-state's felons in prison, Newman began to rejoice that he had not fallen to the cold-blooded and ruthless human lords......

Hero, who had relayed the news of what he had heard to his former companions, felt much more relieved, and as he passed by the Grand Theatre of Andrari, the young human noticed the "posters" posted on the billboards, which were pictorial magazines used for propaganda and advertising.

"Garanord's popular new generation theater company, Qingsan Mei is about to arrive in Andrarui, bringing an audio-visual enjoyment from the art capital of the mainland to the audience of Andrarui...... is the playwright of 'Green Snake' actually Lord Lord?" Although Hiro is more looking forward to the theater holding a certain level of fierce competition, if it is possible, it is better to have a peak duel between dragon warriors. But as the second son of a down-and-out human family, Hero is not so strange to things like art.

If you're okay, you might as well come and take a look, and the young human slowly walks through the bustling streets to his dwellings.

......

When the Qingsan Plum Troupe arrived in Andrarui, André personally led the heads of various departments of Andrarui to greet them at the port. The young poets who promote Andrari's friendly ideals in Garlanord are just like the owners who run a gourmet shop in the Elven King's capital, and they are worthy of being Andrari's long-term strategic partners. Now that they were in the Emerald River Valley again, the children of the abyss naturally greeted them.

Not only are all the actors who star in the role of Green Snake present, but even Aethera's husband, Elvia's father, Maurice Spark, who originally worked as a recorder at the Royal National Library, is also very curious about Andrari's unique cultural and economic system.

"A heartfelt welcome to you, my friends. The Children of the Abyss greeted Elvia with great enthusiasm, and the young poet seemed to be even more beautiful than a few years ago.

Slightly abruptly, Andre gave Elvia a decent hug, but it was only as a gesture of friendliness, and it didn't mean much intimacy.

But in the next moment, there were people on the dock and cameos, but their minds instantly went blank because of panic.

Andrei, who had embraced the young poet, staggered back two steps and sat weakly on the ground. His right hand pressed tightly against his left abdomen, where a dagger-shaped weapon with only its grip exposed, and bright red blood slowly flowed from between the children of the abyss.

"You're actually ......!" Andre pointed at Elvia with his left hand, his face was full of disbelief and shock, and the young attendant crouched beside him in panic and called out loudly, "Your Highness", "I just accidentally touched your chest, and you were so ruthless......"

"I haven't been touched on my chest by you!" Elvia, whose mind was blank, subconsciously shouted this sentence, and then she felt that the words of the Children of the Abyss and her answer were full of a strange sense of disobedience...... The people in the harbor all looked at themselves in amazement, as if they were the female devil who drew her sword against her without saying a word!

"Ahahahaha~~!" Once again, something surprising and confusing happened suddenly, an elf dressed as a ranger with a masked face and a longbow jumped on the top of the pile of goods, and shouted condescendingly in an extremely arrogant tone: "Evil child of the abyss, today I will destroy you on behalf of the moon!

"Daughter, when did you join this organization that calls itself the 'Dark Side of the Moon'!?" Atena never imagined that her daughter would suddenly do such a serious thing!

"You've been tricked!Dark Moon Kamen! Do you think that such a mortal iron can hurt His Highness the only one in this world!?" The son of the abyss, who was still full of panic just now, had already stood up straight at this time, and a blood-stained dagger was thrown by him on the side of the cargo box, and the red blood dots drew an arc-shaped trajectory, and Andre's momentum was unmatched for a while.

"As my mortal enemy, you really can't be defeated so easily, then take this lore I launch with the power of the stars!—Pegasus Meteor Arrow!!" The dark light of the stars condensed behind the elf known as the Dark Moon Mask, and a starlight-winged Pegasus hovered over the heads of the people.

"I'm going to convince you of losing today, hide the annoying flies in Tibet!" The black mist gushing out instantly occupied the body of the Children of the Abyss, and in the black magic flow, the phantoms of the snake and sword were like substance, "Taste the power of the dragon that I have only recently comprehended!--Demon Devouring Dragon Sword Array!!"

The starlight fell, the shadows raised their heads, and just when the bewildered people on the harbor thought that some terrible battle was about to take place, beyond the comprehension of mortals, the direction of the city gate suddenly burst into colorful and brilliant fireworks, and huge banners quickly spread out on the side of the city walls.

"Warmly welcome the Green Sour Plum Troupe to visit Andrarui!"

The phantoms of Pegasus and Black Snake had disappeared, and Atena, who had realized something, was puzzled, "What the hell is going on!?"
