Chapter 32: The Secret Passage
In the face of Edward's arrogance, everyone became angry. But he couldn't.
"You brute!" Chloe pulled out Jack's dagger and was about to rush forward. Johnson hurriedly grabbed her.
"Calm down, what do you think you can do like this, you'll be shot like a hedgehog before you get close to him. Johnson gestured to the heavily armed archer behind Edward.
"Yes, you still have some knowledge. It's better for you to surrender and let you be my personal guard. Edward scoffed.
"Thank you, Prince, then, but I've never had much interest in such things. Johnson said with a sneer.
"At this time, you are still stubborn, I give an order, do you think you still have a way to live?" said Edward.
"Your Royal Highness, stop talking nonsense with them. We'll try to avoid Chloe when we release the arrows. The captain of the guard on the side whispered to Edward.
Edward nodded, and was about to give the order.
It's too late, it's too soon. I saw that Johnson suddenly made a move, and rushed towards Edward with enough fighting energy. Frightened, Edward had not even given the order to attack. The surrounding guards hurriedly protected Edward with their weapons.
"You think you'll catch me?" Edward looked at Johnson in shock, but still refused to admit defeat.
"You think I'm really here to get you?" Johnson smiled dismissively. Suddenly he cut the rope of the winch with his knife. The huge wooden door slammed down with a thud in an instant.
"What if you shut yourself in, can't I set you on fire?" said Edward.
"Then you can let it go, I won't let you catch us anyway. Johnson continued.
Edward was furious outside the door, asking the guards if there was any other way to open the door. The guards said unless the door was split open. Otherwise, there is no other way.
"Set them on fire and burn them alive for me. Edward said viciously.
Edward took one last vicious look inside, Chloe! what he can't get, he's going to let everyone not get it.
"Set this place on fire, and we'll go. Just lock them up inside and burn them alive. At one time, people will move in and burn the prison guards together. When the time comes, it will be said that the prison is on fire. Edward said.
"Yes!" the captain of the guard hurriedly replied.
There were all kinds of things that started the fire everywhere outside the door, but Johnson was not in a hurry at all.
"Johnson, is there any way you can get everyone out?" Wren saw Johnson so calm. I guess Johnson must have a backhand.
When everyone heard this, they also looked at Johnson. At this time, the fire began to crack outside the door. Plumes of smoke are about to rise inside.
Kruger hurriedly performed an ice wall spell to separate the wooden door from the cell an area to prevent smoke from entering. But if this continues, sooner or later people will suffocate to death.
"Don't worry, remember when I said that I was the only one who escaped Arthur? Johnson smiled faintly.
Pete also smiled at the moment and said, "I originally planned to come to this exit myself." I didn't expect to meet Johnson, so naturally this task was handed over to him. He's got to know it well. ”
Johnson smiled and walked over to the cell where Chloe had been held. said: "When Arthur built the city, the royal family left many escape exits. This is generally known only to the royal family of the direct lineage. Thirty years ago, my uncle Wei Lian mutinied, killed my father, and then imprisoned me in this cell. ”
After saying that, Johnson came to the edge of the stone bed and touched it vigorously. He felt a bulge in the hidden area under the edge of the bed, and he broke it hard. I saw that there was a small hole in the edge of the stone bed, just enough for one person to enter. Wren hurriedly cast the Holy Blessing Spell to illuminate it.
"At that time, I was completely disillusioned, and I felt that I must not be able to escape. I suddenly remembered that once my father had sneaked out of the palace at night, and walked through an underground passage. That passage later became the passage where Campbell and I often went out of the palace to play. I thought that the prison built by the royal family should also have a backhand, and the result was the same as I expected. Because Charlemagne's royal crimes were routinely required to be imprisoned here. And this place will naturally leave a glimmer of life for the royal family. Johnson said.
"My ancestors were very benevolent people, but most of the descendants were not filial and could not learn a single skill from their ancestors. Johnson sighed in the underground passage.
This passage stretches all the way to a very far. The widest point can only be passed by one person. In some places, you even have to crawl on the ground. The crowd followed Johnson, and after a while, they came to the end. There's already light at the front. Johnson crawled out first. When he was a child, he came here step by step.
"The exit is actually ...... here," Wren couldn't help but sigh.
It's the roof of a nondescript house in Arthur's City, and directly across the street from the building is the Mercenary Guild. Johnson's heart turned a thousand times at this time, this is how he walked over and knocked on the door of the Mercenary Guild, and Pete's father escorted him to Shannan. And taught him a whole thing.
"Let's go, let's all go to the guild. Pete said with a smile. He didn't expect it to go so well. Originally, he was worried about what would happen if he was discovered in the underpass. I didn't expect Edward to burn down the prison with a single fire. Well, at least for the short term, they're safe. Because no one would have thought that the person who had already burned to death was still alive.
Everyone quietly walked into the mercenary guild. Reading and Johnny hurriedly greeted him. When they saw that everyone was safe, they were relieved.
Chloe had mixed feelings at the moment. After all, she had just gotten the news that her fiancé, Floyd, was dead. She was anxious to know the truth. Chloe finds Pete.
He ...... How did you die?" Chloe asked.
"Are you talking about Crown Prince Floyd?" asked Pete.
Chloe nodded, and Pete thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Say it quickly......" Molia on the side was anxious. Lizhu hurriedly pulled her little sister.
"His Majesty has recently become seriously ill, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was destined to marry Miss Chloe on these two days, and then ascend the throne. But Prince Edward had prepared in advance, and he didn't know when the King's Guard would be brought under control. On the way to His Majesty's meeting with His Majesty, a guard attack was suddenly launched. His Royal Highness Sigmund Freud died a heroic death on the spot. Edward also cremated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afterwards. ”
After Pete finished speaking, Chloe was already in tears.
