Chapter 297: Escape

The king watched as Eric was pulled out of his cell, and he slammed his hand on the iron railing that stood in front of him. Eric had just told him everything, and before his brain could process such complicated news, the jailer came. He knew very well what would happen to Eric after he was escorted away, and Goeben could not let Eric go.

"Wait. ”

When the jailer unshackled Eric and dragged him out of his cell, the latter spoke, "We all know where this road leads, so could you please do me a favor before leaving?" ”

"I don't have much to say to you, outsider. The jailer said.

As he spoke, Eric kept observing the jailer's expression.

He gets a lot of information when he returns to the ruined research facility, but there are still more mysteries he can't solve - such as what Sindora's abilities are, and how she took control of the kingdom overnight. Eric had to admit that Sindora's disguise skills were too good, and she had been with the consortium for as long as he could remember, and she had never done so in the following ten years.

One can only assume that she was once a Templar based on her permanent appearance.

But who knows?

The institute has researched countless products, including some that help women rejuvenate, and no one has ever looked into this issue.

However, a brief observation led to a new discovery.

When he made a request, the jailer showed a disdainful look at him. This means that his Sindora's abilities have not turned these people into puppets who only obey orders, they still have their own thoughts, their own emotions, and they seem to have only accepted the rule that Goeburn is king.

This is Sindora's first loophole.

"In my right pocket, there is a priceless crystal, and if you can give it to His Majesty Goeben for me, perhaps he will change his mind about me. Eric tried his best to disguise himself as a terrified businessman who begged for money for his life. Of course, a crystal was not enough to impress Goeben, and this jailer would not even give the crystal to Goeben.

When the jailer heard this, he showed a look of greed. Eagerly, he pulled out a brilliant orange crystal from Eric's pocket, which was a rare item in Theopharan, and as long as he sold it, he would be able to get rid of his role as a jailer.

He scanned the crowd viciously and said, "You didn't see anything!"

"As long as you let me go, I'll tell you the secret of this crystal!" Eric said in a pleading tone.

The jailer's eyes lit up.

What other secrets does this crystal hide?

Through the crystal in his hand, he seemed to see a bright future for himself.

"Tell me first, and I'll consider whether or not to let you go. The jailer said.

Eric pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "You can't go back...... You hold this crystal at the fire for ten seconds, and it will be as it is. ”

Ten seconds was not a long time, and there was an oil lamp in the room where the jailer rested.

"You'd better not lie to me. Leaving Eric with a fierce look, the jailer hurried upstairs. After the jailer had disappeared for a long time, the bard whispered, "You know he won't let you go, these greedy jailers will keep the crystal for themselves!"

The bard has lost count of the years he has been imprisoned here, during which time he has seen countless similar cases.

Every time an outcast, who had lost his mind, was sent here, the prisoner's family would try to prevent the trial, and the jailers would take the opportunity to drain every gold coin from the prisoner's family.

"If you tell him the secret, it means that you are dead. ”

Eric ignored the bard's high ranks, and he turned his head to look at the king.

He carefully observed the distance between each floor as he was escorted down, and it took at least thirty seconds to get from here to the rest room, and with the jailer's efforts to study the crystal, he had a total of more than a minute to explain his plan to the king.

"It's impossible to defeat Goburn-Azuke head-on with our strength, and when he finds out we're fleeing, he'll order us to be wanted by the whole city, do you think it's possible for us to get to the place where your ancestors sealed that monster without being discovered?"

This kid is crazy!

The king and the bard glared at Eric with the same eyes.

He's obviously dying, but he's still thinking about his next plan?

"I know my brother, so I'm sure you're not going to make it back alive. The king said.

"Yes or no?" Eric asked again.

The king looked at his determined eyes and was stunned for a moment before nodding silently.

"Very good...... The plan is this, we first need to get to the seal in front of people, and I need to see the sealed circle and everything there with my own eyes before I can figure out how to deal with Goburn. ”

"Wake up buddy, didn't you say it yourself, Goebon has swallowed the core, and there's nothing left there!, if you can escape, I advise you to run as far as you can!" said the bard.

"No, there's something vital left there!"

Eric closed his eyes, the darkness in front of him making his mind more focused.

Suppose the monster is a prisoner, and its greatest fear must be to be sent back to the cage where it was imprisoned. Centuries of captivity have bred not only hatred, but also fear. Anger swayed Phoenix, and there must have been an emotion that swayed Goebburn and the monster.

It was impossible for him to escape, Eric evaded the pursuit of the church and the royal family, and came here with great difficulty, just to settle the grudge with Cindora, he was never the kind of person who would obediently carry the black pot for the other party after being stabbed in the back - not to mention that the concept of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth was taught to him by Cindora.

Eric never had any intention of making it back alive.

"I'll take your word for it, but how are we going to escape?" the king smelled.

The dungeon was Theopharan's most impregnable place, and he strengthened its defenses several times during his reign to ensure that the bloodthirsty people could not escape.

Including the bard, there were only three of themβ€”still bare-handed, and what awaited them would be heavily armed jailers.

"The crystal I gave him does hold some secrets. In the Imperial Capital, it is known as the 'Unstable Crystal', and if it is exposed to excess heat, it will burst. The power of one "Unstable Crystal" is enough to collapse the entire lounge, the lounge is on the way to the ground, if the support point of the building is destroyed, the entire dungeon will collapse in a short time, and we will be left with about ...... It takes less than 1 minute to escape. ”

Erik's right hand stretched out his sleeve and swept a bunch of keys from his index finger.

When the jailer snatched the crystal, he also took something from the other party in exchange.

"Once the jailer really shines the crystal on the fire for a long time, as I said, the result will be ......"

"Boom-"

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening explosion resounded through the dungeon, and the ceiling and the ground beneath them shook violently.
