"Bang dang!"

After a loud bang, the door in the darkness was opened. Several tall figures escorted a man in.

Suddenly sparse voices came from the cells on both sides.

Pairs of eyes that shimmered red lit up in the darkness, and there was a ticking sound from time to time.

"Hey, sir, listen to me, I'm really not a spy of the devil. Lance frustrated his hands in the air.

At this moment, his hands were tightly locked by the Forbidden Demon Bracelet, and he couldn't use any magic power from top to bottom.

But he wasn't worried at all, he was just trying to explain to the wizards who called themselves cheetahs.

It's a pity that the other party obviously won't listen to his explanation.

......

It was a long, narrow passage lined with gloomy cells. The cells were made of hard fine iron, and although there were only a few candle flames, Lance noticed that some of the cells had locks that were actually cast.

The Black Tower is one of the few towers in Nikolai's Eye that was used to hold prisoners.

The tower has six floors, the upper three are used to house ordinary people, and the lower three are used for wizards and other tricky goods.

In fact, even if Lance didn't have the Forbidden Bracelet, he wouldn't have been able to use witchcraft.

Because he could feel that the entire Black Tower was a natural forbidden magic field. In the main materials for stacking the Black Tower, a considerable part of the forbidden materials must have been added.

The Cheetah's men sent him to the interior of the Black Tower, and when he reached the lower three floors, he was handed over to the Black Tower's guards.

In the end, Lance was placed on the fourth floor, which was almost slightly threatening. But it doesn't mean much of a threat.

The handover guard looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "Why did you come in?"

Lance shrugged: "Inquire about the tubes." ”

The guard muttered, "Another unlucky ghost." Recently, there have been many people in the city who have been poisoned by food, and the council suspects that it is the work of the devil's spies, so the investigation is very strict. If you were well-informed, you probably wouldn't have made such a lowly mistake. ”

"Normally, it's not much to ask about tubes, but for now, I can only wish you good luck. ”

Lance asked, "I didn't do anything, I just asked." ”

"It's no use telling me about this. The guard flipped through the notebook and finally wrote a few words on it: "Room P18, with the old man." ”

Lance asked again, "So when can I leave?"

The guard rolled his eyes and said, "It depends on the mood of the top." ”

He didn't talk to Lansdo anymore. Directly called a burly subordinate. Led Lance deeper into the darkness.

......

There was a crisp sound, and the door of P18 was unlocked.

In the dark corner, a small half candle lit up.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to have a candle. The man shoved Lance inside. He smiled and said, "Forget it this time." Let me find out next time. I'll double the money. ”

"You're still as greedy as ever. A lazy voice came from the corner.

The man snorted, relocked it, and left the place.

Throughout the cell. Only Lance and the old man in the corner remained.

By the candlelight, Lance could see the other man's appearance clearly - he was very thin, there were few hairs left on his head, his right eyeball was protruding, his left eye was probably blind, and he was wearing an eye patch.

He patted the stone wall casually and found that the stone wall here was amazingly thick. When he was brought in by the guards, he had noticed that the number of cells in which the wizards were held was much smaller, and the distance between them was much farther apart.

"It looks like the wall is strong. Lance said casually.

"Not necessarily. The old man stood up tremblingly, walked over to Lance, groped around the wall for a while, and suddenly jerked hard.

A finger-sized stone was pulled out by him, and a ray of sunlight shone in.

"It looks like it's daylight outside right now. The old man muttered, and then plunged the stone in.

Then he blew out the candle and returned to darkness in a moment.

However, in the next second, the cell became bright again, and a white crystal was dropped on the ground, illuminating every corner of the room.

"Put it away, you boy who doesn't know the rules!" roared the old man suddenly like crazy, "I hate the light. ”

Lance was calm: "But I like it." ”

"Nasty boy!" said the old man with a snort, "why didn't they search your whole body when they brought you in." ”

"I'm guessing they're too busy. Quietly putting back on the amber ring that had just been spit out of his mouth, Lance added, "Because they had just put the Forbidden Bracelet on me, they were contacted by an informant to say something new. ”

"It doesn't look like it's peaceful in the city lately. The old man's affection was a little more stable.

But he did seem to hate the light, and he sat on his side, far from Delance.

"Why were you arrested?" asked the old man.

"Inquire about the tubes. Lance shrugged helplessly.

Those cheetah wizards, although they are not his opponents, but they do it directly in the city, and it is not Lance's style. He was going to find a chance to slip away, but when he arrived at the Black Tower, he suddenly sensed something interesting.

In this tower, he sensed a vigorous vitality! a very subtle but powerful force.

There seems to be a powerful being, sealed under the tower.

This made him suddenly curious, and he simply calculated and was arrested in a prison cell.

In fact, although the Forbidden Demon Ground is terrifying to wizards, it is nothing to Lance, who has the ability to shuttle. If he wanted to leave, the Forbidden Demon Bracelet and the Black Tower would not be able to stop him at all.

He was just a little curious.

......

"Those guys are getting more and more corrupt. It seemed that the reason for Lance's arrest was very ridiculous, and after a while, the old man snorted angrily and said, "I haven't heard of any controlled products at that time, is it the kind of drug that can make people addicted?"

"Oh no. Lance explained: "I really just wanted to buy some grain -- in large quantities. ”

The old man was silent: "Can this also be arrested?"

Lance nodded sincerely, "You see I'm already here." ”

Then he asked, "What did you get caught for?"

The old man tilted his head. The only remaining eye avoided the light of the white crystal, and his tone was calm: "I killed the son of a councilor. ”

"Oh. Lance answered.

"That damn brute raped* and killed my daughter, my only daughter. ”

The old man silently pulled open the blindfold and took out a small picture from it and looked at it carefully. His gaze became much softer.

The picture was so old that it looked like it could crack at any moment, and Lance stood at this angle and could only see the back of the picture.

The old man watched silently for a while, then put the small picture back into the mezzanine on the inside of the blindfold, and then sighed and said:

"Nasty boy, I don't know your name yet. ”

"I've been here for about five years. If your luck is as bad as mine. I'm probably going to stay forever, and it's good to get to know each other. ”

Lance looked at the old man's gloomy appearance, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He took a deep breath:

"Hello, my name is Lance. ”

"Lance, you can call me Old Miller. Sit back. Youngster. Inside the Black Tower. The most important thing is time. ”

......

Night slowly fell, but in the dark tower, it was always dark.

Lance followed Miller Sr. The white crystal was put away, and the cell was dark.

There was a gurgling sound in the distance, it was the car delivering the food.

Soon, two outrageously humble dinners were set in front of Lance and Old Miller.

"Just give us this thing?" Lance pointed to the rotten, moldy black bread in front of him, with a few worms wriggling on it.

"The first time there was always a fuss. Old Miller was surprised and said, "It's just one meal a day, and after a long time, you will get used to it." ”

With that, he picked up his loaf of bread and opened his mouth to eat it, but who knew that halfway through his bite, his movements suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked Lance.

Old Miller shook his head, still in this motion.

The guard who was delivering the food quickly pushed the cart away.

Then he took the bread out of his mouth and whispered, "Quick! ”

Lance took out the white crystal. In the light of the light, Old Miller quickly tore the bread open, revealing a clean note.

There is only one word on it: midnight.

The handwriting of the word is so sloppy that it's almost impossible to see what is written, but once you understand it, the meaning is still obvious.

"What's going on? Who's sending you the note?"

Lance asked curiously.

Old Miller said with some excitement: "I don't know who it is, but you kid is really lucky." ”

"Tonight, we have a chance to get out of this damn place. ”

......

The Black Tower, the area of the fifth floor, in a cold cell, where a demon is imprisoned.

He was covered in thick chains, and he looked like an ordinary bladed demon.

The sound of ticking water came from his body, and it was drops of blood that were converging downward.

If someone were standing here, they would probably find that the blood was dripping on the ground, and instead of scattering, it was slowly moving along a certain trajectory.

Soon, the blood of the Blade Demon turned into a thick stream of blood. Blood surrounded his corpse, forming a mutated six-pointed star.

At one end of the six-pointed star, I don't know when stood a guard with a numb face.

On the other hand, there is the Blade Demon itself.

"Here we go!"

A low groan came from an unknown place in the Black Tower.

Then the bladed demon seemed to suddenly awaken from its slumber. He smiled evilly, and lightly broke free from the torture instrument designed to restrain the demon.

He pressed one hand on his head and began to peel away the thick layer of his skin. (To be continued......)
