Lundy Neum Tower.

To this day, this Normandy-style building appears as a prison, but was originally designed to serve as a fortress. From the original idea to build such a tower to protect Lundinium, hundreds of years of continuous repair and improvement, now, this tower has thirteen towers, stretching more than ten kilometers, up to 20 ~ 30 meters of city walls, a large number of attached soo forts and moats; may feel that this is not enough to prevent prison escapes and robberies, Walsingham also included the cannon and musket team into the configuration, if the state budget allows, the fortress cannon may be added next year. The only people who can get out of this prison now are the crows who were prophesied by the soothsayers to live in the tower to ensure the safety of the country, and the dead bodies.

Praise to the Mother Goddess, Walsingham was not as paranoid as someone else, and did not take domesticated dangerous species, trenches, bunkers, side-firing points, machine guns, mines, barbed wire, power grids, anti-aircraft guns...... Placed around the Lundinum Tower. It would be maddening if it were to become like that.

The equipment alone is already making people scratch their heads, and what makes people feel even more tricky is the guards.

Whether it's guns or magic, after all, they're props, and it's living humans who drive them.

If a fortress is guarded by bastards and fools, paralyzed and demoralized, then no matter how well designed and equipped with advanced weapons, it is not much different from a broken house built of card towers.

But if the guards have a strong sense of responsibility, decent work efficiency, and more importantly, perseverance, things can get troublesome.

It's unfortunate. Most of Walsingham's men stationed in Lundiniumta were of the latter type.

The vast majority of people can be bought and are happy to be bought, but the price at which everyone is bought is different, which is directly proportional to the risk they take.

Lundinumtari's work was in large part hereditary, torturers, jailers, caretakers, cooks - almost all of them were taken over by ancestors to escape the death penalty, and after their deaths, they bequeathed it to the next generation, just like executioners.

Except for real sadists and killers, no one will volunteer to be torturers. At first, it was accepted out of necessity. But once done. He will always leave the mark of disgust, and even if he leaves Lundinumta, he will still be disgusted, blinded and isolated. This discrimination can even affect future generations. There are problems with normal life. Not to mention finding other jobs.

It's like the crows raised in Lundinumtari, once betrayed or left, they simply can't live.

The character of the jailers is not necessarily noble. This is evident from the fact that they make extra money from the families of prisoners. But how much would it cost these hereditary jailers to gamble their heads and the lives of their offspring? Roland could estimate the approximate price, but that amount only his guardian could afford to pay.

"It must be said that no one has done a better job than Mr. President when it comes to bribery. ”

Minerva said sarcastically that Li Lin's logic of "what can be solved with money is never trouble" has been proven correct again and again. To date, V.E's 100% record of winning criminal or civil lawsuits, whether as a defendant or as a plaintiff, is the best evidence.

After all, when the judge, the jury, the witnesses, and the lawyers on both sides all take advantage of the V.E company, or even the company's people, it is inconceivable that they can lose the case......

Of course, there is also a financial factor behind this, but on the whole, Roland is still far behind in terms of using money to engage in relationships.

"If you can't do it with money, you can't use violence, not to mention how difficult it is to break through head-on, even if you want to get in, it's not easy. The worst part is that we don't know where the jewelry thief is."

Gloria, who had always been bold, sighed, apparently distressed by the helplessness of her hands.

It is said to be a tower, but the size of the tower is almost a small town, and it has all kinds of facilities such as churches, barber shops, and brothels. It is said that the search scope has been narrowed, but considering the environmental factors, it is impossible to search for a target in an unfamiliar environment in a short period of time without sufficient intelligence support.

What's more, how to get into the Lundinum Tower without alarming Albiang is a problem in itself.

"Make-up sneaking in?"

Bell came up with an idea premised on "infiltration", which is the usual practice.

"No, you can't get in or out of the tower without special identification. Magicians are also placed at each entrance and exit to check if anyone has used a technique to change their appearance. ”

This is also an important reason why the elven agents are reluctant to pursue Milady further, although the response of the camouflage technique is lower than that of the spell directly launched by the caster, no one can afford to take the risk.

"Digging tunnels?"

Minerva intervened, and from the stories and history, there are many cases of digging tunnels to escape from prison or conquering enemy cities, and if you do it beautifully, you may be able to succeed.

"No, it's too late, and besides, the tower was originally a fortress, and it is likely that it was equipped with a listening cylinder to prevent the siege of the city. ”

In fact, Roland also has a way to avoid the listening cylinder, but firstly, he does not know the layout and structure of the tower, who knows where the exit will be dug, and secondly, it is bound to use magic, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be detected by the magicians on the ground.

"How about the Duke of Buckingham's help? he is royalty, and Walsingham could not refuse him. ”

"No, in Walsingham's eyes, the national interest and the Queen's Antème are more important than the face of the royal family, and such a person can be unusually stubborn in such matters. When the time comes, he will definitely find a way to delay, and then mobilize his own subordinates to search the tower. ”

"A small floating boat is breaking in quickly?"

"No, there is a mobile surveillance post in the sky, and the tower itself is a large defensive array, once activated, even in the face of a fleet-scale invasion, it is enough to support the nearby fleet to arrive. ”

"As a result, you want to invade Lundinum Tower in a way that will be able to evade Walsingham, evade surveillance, evade the defenses? ”

"No, there is a way. ”

Taking a deep breath, Roland looked up.

"I'll need to go to Lance Lady for a favor, though. ”

A strange guest boarded the floating cruise ship Brittana.

On this large cruise ship, built to compare the Zeppelin to the bow statue with the glorious blue streamer, you can see strange passengers every day. It is not uncommon for wealthy nobles and businessmen to be penniless adventurers who want to try their luck in overseas colonies, pickpockets, fugitives and debtors, but none of them are as strange as this passenger.

He wore a peaked cap with a low brim, a collar of his coat stood up, and he carried a leather bag—a suspicious look at all appearances, but neither the sailor nor the security knight in charge of the docks stopped him, and put him on board according to the procedure, and the crew, who were a little wary at first, soon did not care about the strange man.

When the strange man got on board, he didn't go to his reserved cabin, but went to the deck and leaned on the railing to observe the newly built floating cruise ship.

“Nice.Boat。 ”

Staring at the boats and passengers at his feet, Li Lin smiled and commented. (To be continued......)
