Chapter Twenty-Six: The Only Caretaker
The young paladin looked at Suluru, his expression looking very calm, with almost no mood swings.
After staring at Suluru for a long time, the young paladin asked, "What? Do you have any questions?"
The paladin's words woke up Sululu suddenly, and he hurriedly replied, "No, there is no doubt. ”
Suluru then turned to the paladin and walked to the left corner.
After taking two steps, Suluru couldn't help but look back again, and saw that the young paladin had lowered his head.
It seems that the young knight has no interest in Suluru's existence, and does not intend to control Suluru's behavior.
This kind of prison management method made Sululu feel a little surprised, but in line with the principle of not easily provoking right and wrong, he did not have any deviant behavior.
In the corner, he randomly selected a set of prison clothes that looked like they fit well, and Sululu sniffed the prison clothes with his nose meaningfully.
The young knight over there spoke again: "Don't worry, I wash every piece regularly, absolutely clean, and there will be no smell." ”
The young knight's words made Sululu feel speechless for a while, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, as a paladin guarding the Dragon City Prison, could he squat here and have nothing to do, so he washed his prison clothes?
Putting on his prison gown, Sululu began to walk towards the inside of the prison, ready to take a look at the cells inside the prison.
The prison is divided into two levels, the inner and the outside, and an iron door separates the inner cell area from the young knights.
When he opened the rusty iron door leading to the cell area, the mirror image in front of him shocked Suluru, and he was stunned in front of the cell door.
Behind the door is a spiraling staircase, and when you stand in front of the door and look down, it is a bottomless pit.
The spiral metal staircase goes down, and at regular intervals there are forks in the road, and when you look down the fork in the road, you can see rows of cells.
When Sululu was stunned, the voice of the young paladin sounded behind him: "You can choose a room on the first floor, it's not safe below." ”
Sululu was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "What's down here?"
The young paladin quickly replied, "It's all a cell, but the criminals are different." ”
Sululu asked again, "How many floors are there?"
The knight calmly continued to respond: "One hundred and eight floors, a total of one hundred and eight floors, but after the hundred floors, the cell cannot go down, because the stairs are impassable, and the stairs only go to the hundredth floor. ”
The number of "one hundred and eight floors" shocked Suluru, and it was hard to imagine how such a prison that stretched underground could have been built in the first place.
Sululu was silent for a long time this time, and then asked again: "Is there a prisoner in the cell below?"
The young paladin seemed to have not spoken to anyone in a long time, and had little to hide from the Suluru issue.
In the face of many questions, the knight did not have any annoyance, and always replied in a steady voice: "The further down you go, the less empty the cell." ”
Immediately afterward, the young paladin added, "The prisoners below are very strong, so they will also have a long lifespan. ”
Sululu's pupils shrank again, and it was hard to imagine what kind of creatures were being held in such a prison.
He remembered the description of Dragon City Prison in the Flame of Dawn dossier.
A mysterious and powerful prison, no one knows what kind of creatures are being held in it, and very few criminals can get out of it, and for nearly a hundred years, no living beings have been sent in.
Recalling these descriptions, Sululu was a little puzzled, why did the Pig-headed Leader send him here?
As Sululu stood in front of the stairs and pondered, the young paladin suddenly said, "You don't seem to have committed any serious sin, it's okay if you don't go down, stay here, and talk to me." ”
When Sululu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Haven't you ever gone out of here?"
The young paladin raised his head and asked with the same confusion, "Why do you want to go out?" ”
Sululu thought for a moment and asked, "You were sent by the Holy See?"
The paladin nodded: "Yes, this is my last mission before I was promoted. ”
Hearing that the other party was sent by the Holy See, Sululu hurriedly said, "I am an inspector sent by the Holy See to Dragon City. ”
The paladin responded, "I know, from the moment you entered, I felt the scent of that Patrol Badge on your body. ”
After a pause, the young paladin said, "However, that badge should not be yours, because the aura emanating from the badge is very faint, and it is obviously old. ”
Sululu was shocked again, he didn't expect that the young paladin would actually be able to feel the breath on the badge.
The young paladin bowed his head and muttered to himself, "It's strange, it stands to reason that at your age, you shouldn't have such an ancient badge. ”
Suluru's hairs stood on end at this time, and he looked at the young paladin in surprise.
After a long time, he pretended to be calm and asked, "Where are you from, and why do you feel the breath on the badge?"
The young paladin looked at Suluru and asked, "Strange, since you are an inspector, how can you not be aware of the aura that belongs to me?"
When the paladin became suspicious, Sululu suddenly remembered a special place, the place where the most powerful paladin in the Holy See grew up, the "Temple of Dawn".
Thinking of this, Sululu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked in a low voice, "Could it be that you are from the Dawning Temple?"
There are many kinds of paladins cultivated by the Holy See, and most paladins, even great paladins like Lotsa, are actually not considered the true elite of the Holy See.
Although they are also paladins, or even great paladins, they do not have the strongest combat power of the Holy See Paladin, and at the same time, they have not learned the true strength of the Holy See Patron Knights.
In the Holy See, it is the knights of the Dawning Temple who really show the strength of the Holy See, and these knights from the Dawning Temple can be called paladins in the true sense.
It's just that this group of paladins of the Dawning Temple, when the foundation of the Holy See is not threatened, they will never appear in front of the world.
Therefore, most people do not know the existence of such a group of real paladins, and will regard knights like Lotsa as real paladins.
In fact, the gap between the two is very huge, and Sululu feels that the young paladin in front of him, who seems to be out of the world, can easily solve Lotsa.
Hearing Sululu say the name of the "Temple of Dawn", the doubts in the young paladin's eyes slowly dissipated.
Seeing that the doubts in the other party's eyes disappeared, Sululu hurriedly said: "Since you know my identity, then let me out and help me get rid of that pig-headed man, he wants to rebel against the Republic, wants to stand on his own feet in Dragon City, and has also contacted the overseas empire, we should join forces to deal with him, and then you can be regarded as having made a great contribution and can leave this ghost place." ”
Sululu found his words absolutely very tempting, combined with his recognized status as an inspector of the Holy See.
I can't think of any reason the young paladin would refuse.
Despite looking away at Lotsa, Sululu felt that getting the help of the young paladin should make up for the loss of that look-away.
The young paladin was even stronger, and as long as he was willing to help, Sululu felt that it would be easy to get rid of the pig-headed lord.
Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was an unusually firm sentence that answered him: "No, I can't leave here." ”
Before Sululu could speak again to persuade him, a terrifying aura suddenly came from the depths of the spiral staircase behind him.
At the moment when he instinctively dodged to the side, a figure wrapped in blinding white light rushed out from the depths of the cage.
