Led by the Divine Guard, we soon arrived at the location of the Hellish Prison.

The Ghost Prison is the devil's prison of the Taknis Empire that holds political prisoners and felons, and those who are imprisoned are either great rape, great evil, great good, and great loyalty, in a word, if you are not level enough, this prison will not take you in!

Guarding the Hellish Prison is a special force known as the "Ghost Prison Guards", who are well-trained and experienced in combat, but they are all extremely psychopathic, in other words, extremely violent tendencies.

Once you enter the Ghost Prison, it is common for you to be caught by the ghost prison guards to practice your fists and kicks, and of course, it is also common to be caught to experiment with the quality of torture instruments and the effect of experimenting with new punishments, so there is a saying among the people that "entering the Ghost Prison is equivalent to getting a one-way ticket to hell!"

"But there's nothing here?"

I looked around, and there was nothing but rotten grass everywhere.

"Then you're wrong, Dragonman!" Shirley smiled and pointed to the Divine Guards who were messing with something, "something very interesting is going to happen soon!"

Following Shirley's finger, I noticed that the soldiers of the Divine Guard were drawing some kind of magic circle.

"It's done, Your Highness the Prince!"

After a while, the soldiers who had drawn the magic circle all stood up and stood around the magic circle.

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please open the door!"

The soldier leading the group said to me.

"Me?"

"Yes, this door can only be opened by people from the royal family!" the soldier who led the team nodded, and then turned sideways to ask, "You here, please!"

When I came to the edge of the magic array, I took a closer look, but I didn't see anything famous.

I leaned down and poured spirit into the circle.

After infusing the spiritual spirit, the magic circle immediately spewed out a large amount of black miasma from the center, and then gradually transformed into a vortex.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Her Royal Highness Princess Ethelerdo, Your Excellency Ye Ye, and all the adults, please!"

"You mean you want us to go through these miasma?"

I asked, pointing to the miasma.

"You're right, this door is the gateway to the Hell of the Dead!"

The soldier who led the team replied with great certainty.

"Let's go, then!"

I turned back to the girls.

"Yes!"

The girls replied in unison.

Section II

Passing through the door, we arrived at the Hell of the Dead.

Although it was full of torches for lighting, it was still quite cold inside.

"Welcome to the Ghost Prison, Your Highness the Prince!" a soldier knelt in front of me and said in a strange manner, "I am the new prison guard leader Red Snake, and I am here to show you the way!"

"Oh, I've got you!"

I politely replied, and then led the girls with the Red Snake to the depths of the Hell.

The floor, walls, and ceiling of the Hell are all made of massive stones, and the doors are made of cold iron that is unique to the Taknes Empire.

Native to somewhere in the Taknis Empire, Red Chill Iron is a metal that is produced in extremely low quantities. In fact, the underground of the Taknes Empire is rich in this ore, but it is extremely difficult to mine. There is only one reason, that is, the red cold iron has a strong spiritual capacity. If a person with a weak spiritual power comes into contact with it, he will be robbed of his spiritual spirit by the Red Cold Iron until he dies.

Red Snake said that the Ghost Prison is the largest Red Cold Iron Mine in the entire Taknes Empire, and the miners who work hard here are the prisoners here. During the reign of Emperor Shenfeng, due to the soaring demand for red cold iron and the extreme shortage of miners, Emperor Shenfeng ordered that prisoners who voluntarily went to the Ghost Prison for labor reform could greatly reduce their sentences. When the order was first issued, a large number of prisoners poured into the Hellish Prison, but in the end, they were all united with the prison forever. After Emperor Shenfeng learned of this, he blocked the news, in order to ensure the needs of the war, he changed the voluntary to compulsory, and for a while, the prisons of the Taknes Empire became the ghost prison, only entering, not leaving. Later, Emperor Shenfeng died of untimely death, dying of violent blood all over his body, and this decree was also annulled. However, this incident also left a great shadow on the people of the Taknes Empire, so much so that all prisons except the Hellish Prison were closed because there were no prisoners.

Red Snake also explained that the entire hell is designed as a huge labyrinth, and the routes to various places are very complicated. If you don't have someone who knows the route to lead you, you'll probably never get out. It was not uncommon for prison guard recruits to starve to death because they got lost.

We walked for a long, long time before we came to a hall.

In the hall, I saw the stinky old man, Yi Shan, and a group of soldiers of the Divine Guard.

Eh, why is the queen mother here? And what is the queen mother talking to the stinky old man?

"See Your Majesty, Queen Mother!" Red Snake knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here!"

"Flat!" the Emperor raised his hand, "Red Snake, you take the soldiers of the Divine Guard Army away, I have something to talk to the prince alone!"

"Yes!" Red Snake stood up and left the hall with the soldiers of the Divine Guard, "If you don't want to starve to death, follow me!"

Section III

"Erchen has seen the queen mother!"

I went to the queen mother, got down on one knee and bowed.

"Get up, dragonman!"

"Yes!"

"See Your Majesty, the Queen Mother!"

The girls also saluted, of course, because Ye Ye was a dragon spirit, so there was no need to salute.

But everyone knelt down, and it was inevitably a little embarrassing to stand alone every night. But what's interesting is that Ye Ye is very small, even if everyone kneels down, because there is not much difference in altitude, so it is not very obvious that Ye Ye is actually standing.

"Then, let's get straight to the point!" In the face of my rudeness, the Emperor of the Dead took an attitude of ignoring as always, "I brought you here today just to let you see something!"

With that, the Immortal placed a human leg bone on the table.

We didn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the Hades Emperor's gourd for a while, so we all stood stupidly in place, staring at each other with big eyes.

"It's a prisoner's leg bone!" said the Queen Mother, "and it was nothing special, but we found that the prisoner was alive until last night!"

"Do you mean that this prisoner was found this morning with a pile of bones?"

Shirley asked.

"You're right, Shirley!" the Queen Mother smiled appreciatively, and then immediately resumed her serious expression, "It is impossible for a human corpse to decay like this in such a short period of time!"

"Corruption?" Xue Xin interjected, "Then why is there tooth marks on this bone?"

"Ask the same question!" Alice took the leg bone and looked at it carefully, "and this leg bone has saliva on it!"

"I can vaguely feel that there is an extremely cold aura on this leg bone!"

Aika continued.

"That's one of the reasons I brought you here!" the Immortal Emperor stood up, "There are no more than two people in this world who can do such things!"

"And who are they?"

I asked anxiously.

"They are the wielders of those two legendary magic swords, the 'Sword of Prosperity' and the Sword of Sorrow!"

Ye Ye replied.
