Today is the third day that Ludon has been locked up in the dungeon.

Yesterday morning, he met with Miss Miller, and had a conversation, or rather an argument, with the other party, and the two sides broke up unhappily.

In the afternoon, a senior lawyer came to visit Lutdon and promised him that if the case reached the courtroom, they would be able to achieve a final victory.

The lawyer also revealed to Luden that he had paid off a secretary of the Public Security Corps to speak for Ludon and guarantee that nothing would go wrong!

Ludon only smiled implicitly at this and did not express any opinion.

After meeting the lawyer, Luden's life in the dungeon was regular.

Eat and sleep on time, read various newspapers in your spare time, and keep up with the news outside.

There will be no security team to make things difficult for him or Todd, and the daily meals will even change, and the nutritional mix is very reasonable.

Todd never imagined that going to prison would be so easy and comfortable.

The turn of events took place on the evening of the third day.

A priest in a hurry came to visit Mr. Luden.

Standing in the dungeon, Father Phuket greeted politely,

"Good evening, Mr. Ludon."

"Hey."

Ludon sighed for no reason, and shouted at the cell next door,

"Todd, come over here."

Come here?

Todd was a little stunned, he was in prison, and the dean's tone was like asking him to visit the door.

What a home away from home!

Todd was about to ask himself how to get over when a bunch of keys were thrown in front of him.

As the dean instructed, Todd opened the door of his cell and walked to the luxurious private room next door.

Mr. Luton sat on the edge of the bed, the priest sat in his chair, and Todd pressed against the wall, his gaze wandering back and forth between the two.

He didn't know what the dean had told him to do, but Todd knew very well that he would just do what the dean had instructed him to do.

If the dean wants to harm him, there are a hundred, a thousand easier ways, and there is no need to calculate anything.

Todd has long since been left with nothing but this rotten life, and the stigma of Jack the Ripper.

"Introduce you to Father Phuket and this is Sweeney Todd."

The priest smiled at Todd, who felt a chill run down his spine.

He was an orthodox Divine Man, and for a time, a little boy.

For many boys, the word priest represents a touch of gloom.

Todd is okay, no priest dares to do anything to him, but Todd has not heard less about the relevant legends.

Of course, he did not have a good impression of the priest.

What's more, the Phuket priest in front of him doesn't look like a serious priest.

The two sides got to know each other briefly, and they turned their eyes to Luden again.

Father Phuket said implicitly,

"Mr. Luden, there's bad news for you."

"Let me guess, I should be sentenced to death?"

Ludon put down the newspaper and said helplessly,

"Hanged or guillotined?"

"It's you."

Father Phuket was not surprised that Ludon had guessed the truth.

His presence in the dungeon in the middle of the night meant that the situation was urgent.

"Hanging."

"Can they do that?" …

Todd couldn't help but be surprised, and asked,

"Sentence a person to death by hanging without a court trial?"

This is also ridiculous!

As an orthodox god, Todd's reverence for the sacred law is engraved in his bones.

Although he knew that Wu Du didn't pay much attention to the law, he didn't expect that Wu could do it to this extent.

"The court heard it."

Fr. Phuket explained,

"In the afternoon court, a judge who is incompetent and sits and waits for death directly convicts you and Mr. Todd of guilt, and hangs them tomorrow."

Todd:.

Too fast, right?

This is the efficiency of fog?

A fair trial dragged on, and the hanging of a Gentile was full of efficiency.

To a certain extent, the code of the fog capital is also fair, but it is more just to the people of the fog capital.

Gentiles like Ludon and Todd will not be treated fairly in the fog.

No one is used to them.

After explaining the current situation, Father Phuket looked at Mr. Ludon and asked seriously,

"Is there anything else you want to say before you get hanged?"

Ludenfa asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Yes."

Father Phuket took out a blackened and rotten noose from his waist, handed it to Luden, and said respectfully,

"Can you use this noose if it's convenient?"

Luden:.

"Put this thing away, scare whom."

Ludon rolled his eyes and said angrily,

"I will not die for a sin I have not committed!"

On that occasion in the Qiyun Kingdom, Lu Deng admitted that he had gone too far, his hands were stained with too much blood, and his methods were too radical before he was sent to the gallows.

The same is true of the Divine State, and if Luton does not return to the Divine State, the Senate will never kill him.

At the table, Ludon is a good gambler and is willing to lose.

But!

This time, the dealer did not talk about martial arts, and directly deducted a trumped-up charge on Lu Deng's head, and indiscriminately sent him to the gallows.

If he didn't resist at this point, Ludon would simply find a stinky ditch and drown himself.

He is not a son-in-law, so there is no need to be so aggrieved.

"So."

Father Phuket looked at Ludon and asked seriously,

"You don't want to hang yet, do you?"

"It took me a lot of effort to get back."

Thinking of his 100 million Nebula Coins, Lu Deng couldn't breathe in distress, gritted his teeth and said,

"It's a little rude to die after just coming back so long!"

"Understood."

Father Phuket put away the noose, bowed slightly,

"We will assist you in escaping from prison, and in exchange you must give us a promise."

"What a promise."

"You're going to stay in the fog."

Father Phuket looked directly at Ludon and said seriously,

"At least stay for a while and bring them . A little good fortune? ”

What the Divine State had back then, all the fog must have.

"Sounds like a fair deal."

Luden did not immediately agree, nor did he refuse, but changed the subject,

"Let me stay in the fog capital, I'm afraid it's not as simple as sending good fortune, let me think about it, the situation in the Highland Republic seems to be unstable, the royalists want to welcome the exiled king back, the small United Kingdom, the Divine State, and the Snow Alliance will never allow such a thing to happen. …

If that emperor returns, the Highlands will launch another crusade. If I'm not mistaken, the goal of the Crusade is the Divine State, right? ”

Ludon tapped the back of his left hand with his right index finger, his eyes deep, as if he could see the wind and clouds.

Father Phuket asked Ludon to stay in the fog for only one reason:

What is about to happen in the next few years is a well-groomed show, a . Revenge.

On the day that the tribune Ludon died in the Senate, a seed called hatred was planted in Awu's heart.

He ascended to the pinnacle of the power of the Divine State, brought the entire Divine State to its knees, became Augustus, and was hailed as the greatest emperor of the Divine State.

After Awu's death, due to his deliberate connivance, the Divine Empire immediately fell apart.

It's just that it's not enough.

As revenge, Awu has to do more.

He wants to break through the gates of the Divine State, he wants to break into the Temple of All Saints, and he will break into the Senate with the barbarians!

All these years, Awu has been waiting for an opportunity, a chance for revenge.

When Mr. Ludon returned, Awu knew that his opportunity had come.

The gears of revenge began to turn.

If Awu wants a perfect revenge show, he must rule out one distraction option:

Luden.

Once Luton leaves the Little United Kingdom and sets foot in the lands he once conquered, everything will spiral out of control.

No one can manipulate Ludon, no one knows what he's going to do next, and no one knows how far he'll go.

The Empress and El are clearly on Ludon's side.

Awu's psychological state at the moment is a little delicate, just like a child who has grown up, gone up the mountain to learn dragon slaying skills, and when he returns home, he rolls up his sleeves and wants to perform a dragon slaying for his old father.

Hence what Ludon has experienced.

"I'm not going to make any promises."

Ludon said nonchalantly,

"Jack the Ripper framed me, if not your Majesty's intention, I'm afraid it has his own factors.

From this point of view, my sentence to be hanged is a calamity, and it is within your duty to get me out, and I will not make any promises about it. ”

The smile on Father Phuket's face was a little helpless.

He had known for a long time that it would not be so easy to convince this Mr. Ludon.

"Still."

Lu Deng's words changed, "I have no plans to leave the fog capital for the time being. ”

Being forced to promise not to leave, and subjective will not to leave, these are two different things!

Although they have the same effect, they are still two different things!

Hearing this, Father Phuket finally breathed a sigh of relief and added in a low voice,

"When everything is over, His Majesty will come and explain to you in person."

"That's between me and him."

"I'm talking too much."

The conversation between the two, Todd listened to it in a fog and was confused.

He only understood one thing: he was about to escape from prison!

And, from the very beginning, Mr. Ludon called him over, with the obvious meaning that he would escape from prison with him.

Thinking of this, Todd felt a little more for the dean.

If Ludon had left Todd in the dungeon, he would have been either beaten to death by the guards or hanged, with no other ending.

Neither of the two bigwigs had any intention of talking about the escape plan, and Todd glanced at Mr. Ludon and knew it was time to speak himself. …

"When are we going to break out of prison?"

Todd began to plot,

"Early in the morning, the guards will be a little lax in the morning."

Father Phuket pressed a button in his hand and said casually,

"Three."

Three?

What three?

"Two."

Hearing this, Todd's face changed, as if he had thought of something.

"One."

Boom –

After a muffled thud, the walls of the next cell were blasted open, splattering countless dust.

Todd didn't expect that the efficiency of the Wudu Court was high, and the efficiency of Father Phuket was even higher!

Just decided to break from jail, now the guy!

After the explosion, the three men walked out of the cell one after another, came to the collapsed wall, and a hole appeared in front of them.

This hole is one person high, and when it was dug, there were even special steps dug to facilitate everyone to escape.

This prison break condition, Michael will be silent when he sees it, and Shawshank will cry when he sees it.

The three of them walked into the cave one after another, and passed through a tunnel that was not too long.

Todd really wanted to ask, what if there was such a big commotion, escaped from the dungeon, and was chased by the security forces?

When he walked out of the cave, this doubt was dispelled.

On a flat ground, a hundred elite cavalrymen in armor were quietly waiting for everyone.

Todd could recognize the badge on their chests - the Royal Knights of St. Peter!

Todd exclaimed,

"Can you mobilize the Knights of St. Peter, are you the Pope?"

He was under the impression that only the Pope and the King of the Little United Kingdom had the power to mobilize the Royal Knights of St. Peter.

Father Phuket modestly said,

"I'm not the Pope."

"This."

Todd was a little confused, not understanding what was happening in front of him.

In the distant Republic of the Divine State, the Divine State has seven justices who preside over seven palaces and govern the Divine State together with the Senate.

During the reign of Augustus, the state of God was transformed from a republic to an empire, and the secular power of the seven justices did not decrease but increased!

In addition to the executive power, they were even empowered, allowing the formation of their own armed forces.

For a time, the Divine Empire was full of warlords, and the forces were intertwined, burying the hidden danger of turmoil.

After Augustus' death, the Divine Empire immediately fell apart and fell into perennial chaos, never regaining its former glory.

When the seven justices formed the legion, most of them chose to cooperate with the Thirteen Holy Orders to form the Holy Order by way of funding.

The Knights of St. Peter's Sanatorium, also known as the Royal Order of St. Peter, is simply the Order of St. Peter.

Founded by Ryan Jager, one of the last triumvirate, Augustus's right-hand man, and the lifelong honorary dean of St. Peter's Sanatorium, it is the most powerful of the Knights.

More importantly, on the eve of the division of the Divine Empire, the Knights of St. Peter embarked on an expedition ahead of schedule and entered the realm of the sea, in accordance with the last wishes of Lane Jager.

While fighting pirates, they also protected civilians and accepted all those who would defect, and their power continued to expand.

Later, the Order of St. Peter even entered into an alliance with the Little United Kingdom.

The lands under the jurisdiction of the Order were incorporated into the Small United Kingdom, but were not subject to taxes, finances and administration, and were subject to nominal submission and at the behest of His Majesty.

At the same time, the Thirteen Saints were allowed to preach in the Minor United Kingdom, and the Knights of St. Peter's Sanatorium were canonized as the Royal Order, the only one that did not believe in the Order of the Holy Fathers.

However, since the submission of the Knights of St. Peter's to the Little United Kingdom, there has been a constant debate between the public and the government over an issue.

For the Knights of St. Peter, which is greater, the kingship or the divine power?

To simplify the question: when the orders of the king and the Pope clashed, who did the Knights of St. Peter listen to?

The Divine Nation believed that the Knights would listen to the Pope, after all, it was their faith.

The people of Wudu believed that the Knights would listen to the king, after all, they swore an oath to fight for the king.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Todd felt like he already knew the answer.

A priest, who is not even a pope, can instruct the Knights of St. Peter to storm the dungeon under the cover of night to save people

The kingship, a complete defeat!

Todd was still a little incredulous,

"You're really not the Pope? Cardinal archbishop? Papal candidates? ”

"Neither."

Fr. Phuket said very modestly,

"I was pope for a while before I became a Phuket priest."
