Chapter 269: New Life
Farath knelt in front of her chair with a beaming face. Leaning his head on the other party's thigh, the middle-aged man sitting on the chair stroked Faraz's soft and smooth black hair lovingly, and muttered to himself, "Fani, I didn't expect that I would see you one day." This middle-aged man is Luke, who has been in a coma for many years, when Catherine forcibly stripped his soul out of his body in the battle of the palace, and then did not directly kill him, but imprisoned him with a soul jar.
Later, under the persuasion of Galib, Catherine returned the soul jar to Faraz, and finally allowed the soul that had been away from the body for many years to return to Luke's body. Due to being bedridden for many years, Luke's body deteriorated sharply, although he woke up again, but his two legs were disabled, fortunately, after Red and others repeatedly treated him with light magic, this allowed Luke to live like an ordinary person, but the paralyzed lower body was helpless at all.
Despite this, Luke still felt like he had been reborn from a different life, and during the time he recovered, Ryan and Farath were almost always by his side, plus Ryan's parents and children who lived in the imperial capital, and enjoyed a period of family fun. Luke, who has experienced a great change in his life, no longer has any power in his heart at this time, anyway, his eldest son-in-law is in charge of the military power of the imperial capital, and his younger children have become the archons of the imperial capital, even if he does it himself, it is nothing more than that, so why spend the precious time of his life on those meaningless intrigues?
"Father, it's nice outside, shall we go out for a walk?" Faras whispered to Luke.
"Well, that's fine. Luke naturally agreed, without him speaking, the maid next to him immediately moved over a chair engraved with various magic carvings, and then helped Luke sit on it, Luke stroked the exquisite carvings on the armrest of the chair with his hand, and couldn't help sighing: "Unexpectedly, Ryan was just a magician with some potential, and in a few years, he has become one of the few human beings** Teacher, not only that, but his enchanting skills are also improving very quickly, and this is the first time I've heard of such a magic item. β
Faras's face showed admiration when she heard her father praise her husband, the chair that Luke was sitting in had been designed and built by Ryan himself, and its greatest purpose was for the half-paralyzed Luke to use as a substitute. To put it simply, this is a large magic item combined with the Golem manufacturing process, and there is a wind circle under the chair that can make the chair float in the air on the basis of consuming magic cores, and then Luke, who is sitting on it, can control the direction of the chair as long as he holds the handle of the chair hard. Although this thing consumes a lot of magic cores, Faras's net worth doesn't care about this small shortcoming.
Luke gently stroked the armrest of the chair a few times, and gave the command: "Get up!", at Luke's command, the wooden chair immediately suspended in the air, and then Luke said, "Go ahead!", so the whole chair dragged Luke slowly floating in the direction of the door. Luke let go of the armrest so that no matter what he said, it wouldn't affect the magic chair, and he smiled at Faras, who was walking beside him, and said, "I heard Ryan say that the inspiration for this thing came from making a golem?"
"yes. Of course, Faras was well aware of the situation, so she explained to her father: "Actually, this chair is an alternative golem, it obeys the master's orders like the golem, but you don't have mana, father, so Ryan has improved the way to use it, and the order you give after grabbing the handrail will it be executed." β
"Okay, good!" Luke couldn't help but praise Ryan a few more words, his two daughters have a very good home, both Orlando and Ryan are impeccable existences, but the only drawback is that the two daughters have no children, if there is a next generation, then he Luke will not be too lonely every day.
"Oh, by the way, why didn't Ryan come today?" Luke and Faras "walked side by side", they planned to go to the back garden of Farass Mansion, and Luke asked casually as they walked along the way.
"Ryan, he's got something to do, and his brother-in-law is over. Faras explained in a whisper.
Just when Luke and Faras were talking about Ryan, Ryan was standing outside the gate of the palace prison with Orlando and Red, and Ryan came here today to help Catherine do something, Orlando would definitely not agree, but after Catherine returned Luke's soul, Orlando They also had some forgiveness for the former queen who had been planning to split the imperial capital, plus the double face of Galib and Ryan, and finally agreed to stay.
Under the leadership of Orlando, Ryan and his party of dozens of people walked towards the depths of the royal prison, which is a key place, naturally heavily guarded, almost every few dozen steps, there are sentry guards to check the documents of Orlando and others, although Orlando's identity is well-known in the entire imperial capital, but these guards are still very careful to check that there are no mistakes before they are released. Orlando walked for more than an hour before they came to a strange building, where they underwent one of the most rigorous inspections before entering the building.
The building doesn't occupy a very large area, and when Ryan entered, he saw a dark crypt at a glance, and no other entourage except for the three Orlando was allowed to enter the building, so Ryan and his team were only accompanied by a warden in the Royal Prison for the rest of their journey. The four of them stood in the rusty elevator, watched the jailer next to him turn the cable car vigorously, and slowly lowered them to the depths of the ground, Ryan listened to the bitter friction sound of the elevator noose, and knew in his heart that there must be few people here, and then Orlando's voice whispered in his ears: " The depths of the crypt are filled with heavy prisoners who are imprisoned for life, and food and water are sent down every few months, and if the royal prison is attacked, the guards below can directly execute the prisoners held here when they judge that the prison has been breached. β
Ryan nodded, but didn't say anything, just a little melancholy, he finally understood why Catherine made this request, I believe she definitely knows the environment here, the prisoners who are imprisoned here don't see the sun for the rest of their lives, they can't see anyone other than themselves, and they can't hear voices other than themselves, ordinary people are only afraid that they will go crazy in a few years in this bad situation, but they don't know how the person Catherine said is now, if he dies, it is not easy to explain to Catherine.
After walking for several kilometers of long corridors, Orlando, Ryan and Red finally arrived at their destination, and a prison officer stationed deep underground took out the key from his arms and inserted it into the thick prison door, and then he turned sideways and asked the warden who accompanied Orlando down to insert his key into the other part of the prison door, and then the bodies of the two people squeezed together and turned the key vigorously, at this time the cell door made a muffled sound, and the sound of mechanical rotation came from the stone wall next to it.
After about thirty seconds, the thick cell door suddenly opened a gap to the outside, and the two wardens pulled the cell door hard, hoping to open it, but I don't know if the cell door was too heavy or the two wardens were squeezed together and it was difficult to exert force, their faces were red, but the cell door did not move at all, so Orlando opened his mouth to tell them to retreat, and he took action himself, only to see a holy light flash from Orlando's body, and the thick cell door was finally reluctantly opened a passage for one person to enter and exitγ
"I'll go in. Ryan spoke.
Orlando and Red actually didn't want to see the person imprisoned inside, but according to the imperial decree, the prisoners who were imprisoned here for life could only be released by a joint pardon issued by the Fernando royal family, the Royal Knights, and the Church of Light, so they would come with Ryan, of course, if this matter was not for Ryan to go out and plead, then at most send an assistant to go, and there was no need to be accompanied by the head of the Royal Knights and the Archbishop of the Church of Light.
After crossing the thick door, Ryan walked a few dozen meters before entering a small cell about ten square meters square, Ryan's goal was to sit quietly in the center of the cell, but although her expression was calm, when the "illumination technique" was released After Ryan entered the dark cell, the man's eyes couldn't help but blink quickly, fortunately, this Ryan's magic was very soft, so it didn't hurt the other party's eyes, if it was a dazzling torch, it was estimated that the person's eyes could be blind on the spot.
"Christina, you...... Is it okay?" Ryan glanced at the other party silently, he believed that the other party must have recognized him, thinking about the time when he sent her here, Ryan himself was also personally involved, so when he saw the pale face on the other side, Ryan still felt a little sorry in his heart, but he would not regret it, after all, if she hadn't bumped into her headlong at that time, there would not have been such a tragic end today.
"Good. It's quiet and makes me think about a lot of things. "Sitting in the prison is the female knight Christina who fought with Ryan at the Royal Athletic Tournament, when Ryan returned to the imperial capital to expose Catherine's conspiracy, the female knight who was ordered to protect Catherine violated the tenets of the Holy Knight because of her impulse, and was deemed to have fallen by the temptation of the devil, and must be sentenced to death. Orlando couldn't bear to kill his subordinates, so he imprisoned her here for the rest of his life.
"Put it on and come with me. Ryan took out a delicate magic mask from his bosom and threw it at Christina, with the female knight's past, if she wants to start over, she must have a new identity, so she will probably have to hide behind this mask for the rest of her life, but in any case, it is better than being imprisoned in this dark place. In order not to make Christina feel resistant or cranky, Ryan simply pointed out the words: "Catherine asked me to do her a favor, so I came." β
