The inverted tower is located in the [Star Metropolis], from top to bottom, from wide to narrow, like a huge funnel. Although the "reflection" at the bottom of this tower, the Reversal Tower is actually the stronghold of the [Black Star], it is still a cage for criminals on the surface. The crimes of the prisoners from top to bottom ranged from minor to severe, and Howard committed the more serious crimes, and they were escorted into the middle of the inverted tower.

The two fat men were surprisingly consistent in their words and deeds, constantly complaining about why the other party accepted this bad idea proposed by [Black Star] along the way, and the two ended up with a life sentence......

The perimeter of the inverted tower was made of huge brown-gray bricks, but the walls inside were made of a smooth metal, and the two of them looked at the smooth metal that reflected the silhouettes of the two of them in the dark, and the big belly contained the slowly rotating stars. The two of them followed the officer as they circled down the stairs of the inverted tower, they couldn't escape if they wanted to, and the special material of the wall drained the magic from their bodies the moment they entered the interior of the tower.

The center of the inverted tower is hollowed out, one by one single room is inlaid on the wall, and several magic lamps on the top become the only light source inside, and the further down you go, the darker the environment becomes. It is said that there are only three rooms at the bottom for the most wicked, and these three rooms are called "swamp bottoms" when they are not visited all day. The sticky darkness will swallow everything all day long, the plump and peugeot body will be crushed and loosened by the years, and people will be gnawed into a pile of dry bones.

For the Howard brothers' crimes, it is actually somewhat possible to reduce the sentence from life imprisonment, after all, their plan did not succeed, but in these two or three decades, they will not want to get out. The two are accomplices and brothers, and they are lucky to be placed in a double cell.

"Hey......" Louis looked around the room, the light inside was also very subtle, and he could see the outlines of the tables and chairs inside, "Looking back, I also want to make money crazy......

"The woman didn't catch it either," said Jaime, blinking, as if enlightened, "if we had hired a more expensive bodyguard, wouldn't it be ......?"

Louis now knows his current situation anyway, and the two of them had better be optimistic: "What kind of bodyguard to hire a little more expensive...... At that time, we couldn't even afford the money for the teleportation technique, and we had a more expensive bodyguard! ”

"But, in case it becomes ......," Jaime sighed, "the ticket, and the woman—oops! ”

Louis gave Jaime a slap in the face: "Now even Alice can't feed her!" The property was also taken away...... Don't forget what we said at the beginning, Alice is our family's only hope, the Four Devils! What other votes do you have, what women! ”

"There's no need for us to live so aggrieved, we can't see Alice now, and we don't know if we have enough food every day." Jaime sat on one of his own beds and poured some water from the faucet into his mouth.

The water was cold, as cold as this cell, and they obviously didn't want to stay in this damn place, but they had to pay for their crimes with their lives.

"After that, try to make some contributions, maybe you can get your sentence commuted. Alice is under the protection of the government, so there should be nothing wrong. Louis sighed, the fabric of his prison clothes tickling all over his body, "But if I had to choose whether to stir up the muddy waters again, I would still choose to do it, and I deserve it." What about you, Jaime? ”

"Of course the brothers are going to be the same enemy," muttered Jaime, fiddling with the shackles on his wrists, "why do these children have such good instincts?" And those two damn mercenaries, they could have taken the money and left! ”

"It's really ironic, I heard that this is the base camp of [Black Star], we supplied them, but in the end, we ended up like this." Louis sighed and said, "Spend some money to find a woman...... Hehe, I guess there is no woman in my life who makes me love, I can't see it, how can I love? ”

"Save it, you can't find a few women outside who really love you like this." Jaime cupped his stomach and said, "It's good that we're in a cell, otherwise we'd have been suffocated." ”

All the cells inside the tower are independent, with very good sound insulation performance, generally speaking, all the prisoners in this tower have no possibility of contact with each other, and the daily shift is also to enter their respective cells to do some simple and repetitive manual labor.

"Yes, because you are a pair of brothers, I specially arranged for the two of you to be in a cell." A voice that didn't belong to the two of them appeared at the door of the cell, "You two are really pathetic, and [Black Star] would never ask for such impure fakes. Where the hell did you hear about this completely unnutritious thing? I'm a little weird. ”

The two of them looked at the door in unison, not caring about the man's appearance, but staring at a huge obsidian ring on his hand. Look at this smooth facet, almost perfect regular hexagonal edges and corners, and the pure black ring is still flowing with the brilliance of magic! Obviously, in the interior of the inverted tower, all the magic will be swallowed up by the special materials on the wall, but this ring is an exception.

"You...... Who is it? Jaime's Adam's apple agitated up and down, and he nervously shook his left hand and said cautiously, "Why did you come to us?" ”

Louis stood up, he only felt that the man in front of him looked ordinary, and after seeing each other, he would not leave any impression at all: "You are from [Black Star]?" ”

"It doesn't really matter who I am, in fact, with your identity." The man smiled happily, and he kept rubbing the ring on his hand, "My name is Fett, and I'm making a deal with you." [Black Star] does have a little bit of a connection with me, but it doesn't have anything to do with you, does it? ”

"Why are we trading with someone from an unknown source?" Louis asked, "Do we have any use for it?" ”

Feit laughed and seemed to hear something very absurd: "I know that you have a cousin named Alice Howard, and I have heard that she is very talented in magic. So, we can provide her with some special help, both financially and academically. ”

Their faces changed suddenly, and Jaime almost jumped up and smashed the door of the prison to grab Fett's collar: "How did you know about our cousin, let me tell you, if you dare to do anything bad to her, we two will do everything we can to hunt you down to the ends of the earth!" ”

The man in front of him was completely unmoved: "Imperial Capital Central Magic Academy, your cousin can enter this school with his own strength, but because of your case record, it is estimated that this matter is also yellow." I can get her into this school, so that she has more room for development, and we can even provide her with all the expenses of daily life, so that she can have food and clothing. ”

"Why did you find us?" Jaime repeated it again, and the reward he offered seemed too great to refuse, "and not to go to someone else?" ”

Fett raised an eyebrow, "She has a special magical talent in her, and we want to exchange her own magical talent for it." Of course, you can also let her live as an ordinary person alone, and I believe that her fate will not be much better. ”

"Magical talent......" Louis was sweating on top of his head, "but, but we ...... What is the real price? ”

"She's got a new future! Truth be told, the talent of the Four Demon Patterns is already more than enough to cover everything, and we can even pay for it ourselves to do a fuller examination of her magical talents. Fett hugged his chest, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone, "We'll help her adjust the part of her body that controls her magic, and she will be very radiant in the future." ”

"Adjust ......," Jaime muttered an inexplicable mutter, "it won't hurt her, will it?" ”

"The process of gaining strength is always accompanied by some stumbling blocks, and we just remove the big stone from the path of her strength." Fett stomped his foot, "This is not a negotiation that can be delayed, you need to make a decision within three minutes." Whether to extinguish hope or not, the right is in your own hands. ”

The answer is probably obvious. Three minutes, a short time that would confuse one's mind, and the two finally agreed. They gritted their teeth and trembled all over their bodies because they were afraid that the decision they had made would put their Alice on a path of no return.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with." Fett turned his head and dropped three or two words, "You may get a reduced sentence, if you do well enough." ”

All jailers would say the same to the prisoners, but how many prisoners actually got a reduced sentence?

The exit of the inverted tower is at the top of the tower, and there is a special elevator for them to land, and once there is an exit at the "bottom of the swamp", the criminals inside are expected to flee immediately. Fett stepped through the door of the exit, and the wind on the tall building was strong, blowing his gray robe, and the stars scattered from the sky like flowing water seemed to have fallen countless dazzling diamonds.

At the exit was an elderly man who, not long ago, was serving as a cardinal by the bell tower in the Land of Twilight. Of course, he is still a cardinal, but he is away on business.

"Did the two of them agree?" The cardinal leaned forward urgently, "Dear Mr. Fett? ”

"Naturally, I agreed." Fett's eyebrows smiled slightly, "Even if your original sect owes me a favor this time, I haven't thought of what I want yet." In other words, if you owe me a favor, does it mean that King Charles also owes me a favor? ”

"This, this...... If there is any command, we will do our best to carry it out! The cardinal hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, the identity of the man in front of him was not ordinary.

Fett was a little curious about why the original sect and King Charles had gone to such lengths to get a girl, the Four Magicians, who could pull out a dozen of them casually.

"Forget it, I don't need this dispensable favor, [Black Star] itself has never needed other people's favors." Fett waved his hand casually, "I'm just wondering, what kind of magic does a little girl have over you that you need to rely on me to fight for?" ”

"This ......," the cardinal was choked, his voice narrowed, "Mr. Fett, can you promise you not to say it?" This is part of a deal between the Primordial Sect and our King Charles......"

"Oh?" Fett's eyes narrowed, and he listened.

"King Charles didn't fully trust the Merlins and wanted to find his way out of it...... Inevitably, there is some preparation. He wants to spiritualize his body, and one of our techniques can have some effect. ”

"Experiments?" Fett easily understood what he meant, "Is that so...... Not bad, not bad! Haha, hahaha! ”

The cardinal's face flushed slightly, and he couldn't guess what the man in front of him was thinking. He had to go back, and with King Charles' help, the troubles about the dissociation faction should be over.
