Chapter 186: Prisoner in Chains
Chapter 186: Prisoner in Chains
Gaia has already erected so many enemies in the temple, and now if he provokes a Muto who controls the royal family, he may really be unable to move an inch in the Zacharian Empire, for the sake of Gaia's safety, Meisa naturally wants to persuade this somewhat stubborn man.
However, Mesa's persuasion was unsuccessful, and in three years, Gaia's personality had changed, completely fading from the youthful youthfulness to becoming more domineering and confident, as if all enemies were vulnerable to him. But the more confident Gaia became, the more worried Mei Sa became, after all, the temple and the royal family included the entire Sachariah's saint-level powerhouses, and even if Gaia had a divine object, it was impossible to compete with so many powerhouses.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Gaia knew that she was talking a little heavily, so she softened her voice and said it again.
Meisha also knew that she couldn't persuade Gaia, so she didn't say anything anymore, and quietly watched the patrol guards walking back and forth.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and an invisible dark aura slowly spread out from the ancient castle in this imperial city, gradually permeating the surroundings, making people feel a little eerie and terrifying.
Gaia and Maysa waited for a long time in the distant palace, but the alternating time still hadn't come, and Gaia felt that it was not possible to stare like this, so she planned to take a risk.
The combined strength of the two hundred great swordsmen is also not to be underestimated, of course Gaia can't fight them directly, it is easy to alarm the masters who are lurking in the imperial city, let alone rescue Lankani at that time, he and Meisha may have some difficulties in escaping from the imperial city.
With the advantage of his body, Xiao Dark Ni slowly floated through the air, and then landed directly above those royal guards, and with the help of the dark aura that continued to overflow from the royal cell, he suddenly cast a dark magic.
When Darkey successfully controlled the royal guards in the front row, Gaia immediately used space magic to move directly to the enchantment position, and then used a dagger to cut the barrier, and rushed into the castle gate with Janny and Meisha as fast as possible, and then another space magic, directly teleported to the castle gate.
The main obstacle to Gaia's space magic is the enchantment, once Gaia tears the enchantment, Gaia can jump directly into the castle, fortunately the enchantment of this castle does not coincide with the gate of the ancient castle, otherwise Gaia will definitely not be able to teleport in.
After teleporting in, Darkny's dark magic was immediately released, quickly hiding Gaia and Mesa's figures, but fortunately, the two guards guarding the inner gate were chatting idly, so that Gaia and Mesa would not be discovered.
Darkny once again cast a hallucinatory spell, directly blocking the vision of the two royal guards, and through the narrow passage of the castle, Gaia and Meisa soon saw a large hall with a large magic circle.
The prisoners imprisoned above the castle are some ordinary criminals, most of these criminals have violated the laws of Zachariah, and under the castle is the real royal prison cell, and the prisoners who are restrained by various magic arrays such as heavy enchantments, binding arrays, and gravity arrays are some terrible cultivators who have affected the safety of the entire Zacharian Empire, if all these people are released, these people have accumulated monstrous grievances for I don't know how many years, I am afraid that Zachariah will fall into a big crisis.
"Follow me and try not to use any magic. Gaia whispered to Mesa. They had now stepped into the magic circle of the royal prison cell, and Gaia, with his powerful elemental control ability, changed the structure of the elements in the magic circle with every step, making the magic circle useless for him. This is a very precise elemental control, and if someone gets involved, it can easily be disrupted, so Gaia specifically warned Mesa.
Originally, Gaia didn't want to let Meisha enter this royal cell, but she felt that it might not be safe for Meisha to hide outside, so she finally brought her in, with her current strength as a sixth-order archmage, she should barely have the ability to protect herself.
Descending the stone brick spiral staircase, the dark aura has become thicker and thicker, which makes Anny even more excited, and even Annny himself can manipulate these dark breaths, forming a hallucinatory magic that causes the guards guarding the underground stone ladder to appear a brief mental void.
The further down the road, the less resistance Gaia received, mainly because the powerful enchantment also had a great impact on the royal guards, and as the layers of enchantments intensified, the number of guards became smaller and smaller, and the occasional encounter was quickly controlled by Darkny with illusion magic.
The basement floor is a large space, and in the space is a stone chamber that has been opened, and there is an enchantment in each stone chamber. Of course, these stones that make up the stone chamber are not ordinary stones, this kind of stone has been forged by earth magic for a long time, the structure is very tight, and it can be carved with a special magic array, once trapped in the stone chamber, the elements are thin, and the fighting spirit is restricted, even some top cultivators may not be able to escape.
The scope of Anny's spiritual perception immediately spread all over this floor, and this underground prison was filled with a dark aura, which increased Annny's perception ability several times, but he didn't find Lankani's figure here, and Gaia had to separate from Meisha to find the entrance to the next floor.
Soon Gaia found the underground staircase on the next floor, but it was sealed with a thick pull ring ten stones, and there was a high-level earth-based magic array on top of the stone, which increased the weight of this stone by a thousand times, and even a powerful swordsman might not be able to lift this stone that was close to the weight of a small mountain.
Of course, Gaia couldn't use brute force to lift the stone, he had enough strength to smash the stone, but he didn't think he could pull up the stone door in the basement, so he started to work on the earth-based magic circle above. Gaia also learned some principles of the magic circle from Fetzer, and to destroy this continuous magic circle, it is usually necessary to change the pattern of energy input from it.
This magic circle carved into the stone is indeed very cumbersome, and it is very difficult to find the energy input engraving on the criss-crossing magic patterns and the symbols carved everywhere, and if the patterns are wrong, it is likely to activate the signal magic array, so that others can detect that someone is trying to destroy it.
Meisha stood next to her and lit up a sphere of light that limited the range, allowing Gaia to see the pattern patterns on the stones more clearly. Mei Sa didn't know much about the magic array, and at the moment her eyes fell on Gaia's side face illuminated by the light, looking at his focused expression, her heart throbbed.
Gaia is indeed different today from three or four years ago, although it is not his real face now, but the fortitude on his face and the difference in his eyes do have a fascinating masculine atmosphere, mysterious and restrained, but people can see his difference at a glance.
"Huh!" Just as Meisha observed Gaia, Gaia had already taken out a dagger and slashed at the dense carving very precisely, and then the magic array emitting brown light on the stone immediately dimmed, and the heavy stone suddenly made a loud noise.
Gaia had long expected that the sound would come out immediately, and immediately used spatial magic to freeze the surrounding air so that the sound would not come out.
The sound reverberated back and forth in the space for a while before slowly fading, Gaia lifted the spatial freeze and then held the pull ring with one hand, and said to Meisha before pulling it away, "You stand back first." ”
Meisha immediately stood back, and Xiao Yanni consciously flew onto Meisha's fragrant shoulder, and when her calf stepped on it, she could see that her soft shoulders showed obvious signs of sinking.
Gaia cautiously pulled open the tab of the second cell, and the light from the upper layer immediately penetrated into the staircase that extended downward, but the light only knew a dozen floors, and the staircase after that was shrouded in shadows, looking down like this, it felt like a spiral staircase stretching out to hell, and there was an unknown fear below.
Gaia has night vision, but he can't see through the thick dark aura at this time, so he only tries to step down, step by step, step by step.
Meisha followed closely behind Gaia, and the black dress gently swayed in this gloomy underground cell, hiding her holy temperament, but adding a bit of bewitchment and coldness, but with the intensity of the dark aura, her delicate body had a slight tremor......
The second cell was a dead silence, but from time to time there were screams of pain in this dead silence, and then it seemed to echo in this sealed space, which was terrifying.
"Do you really want to be that saint?" Gaia said, perhaps to dispel the irritating dead silence. By this time Gaia had already walked down the stone stairs, and what appeared in front of him was a very empty secret room, dark everywhere, and the candlelight could only shine on a limited area, and those terrible roars, although they came from the darkness, made people feel that countless beasts were licking the fanged mouths in their ears.
Meisha was silent for a moment, but the entire second cell seemed even more silent because of her silence, and the strange screams seemed to stop all of her silence in an instant.
"I'd rather you argue with me, even about Céline...... But why have you always been silent, from the library here, except for the fact that I provoked Muto. Gaia didn't look back, as if speaking to the darkness.
"I ...... I really don't know what to say, but I saw what Celine did for you at the stake that day, and I know that now, I see that she has your child...... Perhaps, I think you'll be more suitable now......" Meisha finally spoke.
The cell was even quieter, and in the darkness, even Mesa's slightly rapid breathing could be heard, and the bitterness, nervousness, and fear of the location made her footsteps a little messy, always making incongruous sounds in this silent cell.
"Can you sense it, Jenny?" said Gaia to Jenny.
"Woo~~" Anni shook his head, this cell is very wide, if you don't look at the top, it makes people feel like they are standing in the middle of the night in the wilderness, in this dark and empty cell, Mei Sa can't even find where the prisoners are held.
"They were on top, and the cells here were at the top, and the seemingly low top was actually a lot of stone chambers with a depression upwards, and the prisoners were tied with iron locks to their heads, arms, thighs, and waists, and hung parallel to the top of our heads. Gaia seemed to guess Mesa's thoughts, and then gave an explanation.
Meisha subconsciously raised her head, through the thick darkness, to her horror, at this time, at a height of about ten meters above her head, there was a person with his face down, like a beast trapped in a giant spider web, hanging directly above her, and those beast-like eyes full of desire were staring at her, as if they were going to swallow her alive!
Meisa's face turned pale and she took a few steps back, almost knocked down by a pile of broken bones under her feet, Gaia helped her in time, and then said, "You will never see such a dark side as a saint. ”
"But...... Now it's you who are avoiding my words. Meisa quickly adjusted, knowing that the prisoner who was hanging could not hurt herself, and that the prisoner might not be her match if she cast her magic.
Gaia didn't answer Mesa, grabbed her arm and walked on, soon revealing a prisoner hanging in the center of the empty cell. The prisoner was covered in chains all over his body, and the chains extended from all sides, and the rings were fastened to the man, who did not even have the ability to move his fingers.
"This ......" Maisa's face changed again, and at this time, the man who was curled in the air by countless long chains was on the verge of death, desperate eyes, chapped lips, and rotten skin.
"Do you think I shouldn't have come back when I didn't have enough strength?" Gaia paused for a moment, let go of Mesa, and then walked up to the dying prisoner, and then spoke, "If I'm late, or don't get that message from the Empress, it's likely that your father Kailang will be tied up here to be tortured." ”
Gaia drew the dagger, and it took a long time for the indestructible weapon to slash through the chains, until Gaia slashed the last chain, and the man fell in the air, but was immediately caught by Gaia.
Gaia took a few drops from some of the fountains of life that had been specially retained, fed them to the man with chapped lips, and cast the elven life magic. Life magic is much more healing than light magic, and as long as there is a breath left, life magic can revive it.
The healing process of life magic was very fast, and soon the prisoner was able to stand up with Gaia's support, and after receiving Mesa's priestly magic, he was able to walk on his own, despite his unusual weakness.
