Chapter 245: Prison
"So, who are you?"
At the mention of this question, Lamech's eyes involuntarily took on a little guard, if the girl who used the pseudonym was a member of the Holy See...... No, considering that the girl even uses a pseudonym, it would be better to think that the next words would be a lie.
Bagh paused and replied.
"I'm a freelance explorer, and I heard about the ruins found here, so I came uninvited. ”
Whether this answer is true or false, it is enough to refute it, but would anyone use the word 'uninvited' to describe their behavior, should it be honest or difficult to get along with?
“...... All in all, it seems like we're all here for the same purpose. ”
Lamech turned to look at Lucia.
"Is it okay to let her come with us?"
Then, I got a "Of course you can" reply from Lucia.
After consulting with two of his teammates, Lamech smiled and asked Bag.
"Well, if you want to come with us, it will be easier to have a companion to take care of you than to be alone, and Isaac is an expert in this area, and it will be easier for us to have him. ”
As if to let Bag let his guard down, Lamech's expression was gentle and kind.
"Rest assured, we mean nothing other than goodwill. Of course, you don't have to worry about the treasure, you must know that this ruin is of extraordinary size, and no matter how many of us take it, we will not be able to take all the treasures inside. ”
Of course, Lamech's actions were not entirely well-intentioned. In the face of the uninformed bag, instead of letting it hide in the dark, it is better to put it under his nose, if there is no harm, then take care of this lonely girl, and if there is danger, it can be eradicated as soon as possible.
After thinking about it for a moment, Bagh nodded and accepted the offer.
In this way, the exploration team of three ushered in an unidentified fourth person.
As we continued for a while, the surrounding houses began to change, like hills, and we headed towards the middle, and the surrounding houses became higher, but there was not much difference in terms of fragmentation.
"It used to be the busiest part of Macentonia. ”
Isaac explains.
"The commercial district, the artisan district, and the residential area are all in this area. But all of this was destroyed by the invasion of demons. ”
Isaac's voice is both a remembrance and a blunt commentary, in short, contradictory.
Standing at an intersection, Isaac looked left and right, and then led the group to a path that looked badly damaged.
"Go this way, there's a very powerful magic item here. ”
As soon as Isaac said this, Lamech's eyes changed.
Regardless, Isaac was a little too familiar with the city.
Seeing Lamech's skeptical eyes, Isaac explained with a smile.
"We once found a document about the city, and it mentioned it. ”
This reason is very untenable, but there is no way to verify it, so Lamech can only be skeptical, but he still asks Lucia's opinion.
"Lucia, what do you think?"
Lucia's answer was discouraging.
"Just follow Izak, no one knows this place better than he does. ”
Hearing this answer, Lamech didn't think about anything else, but felt that Lucia really didn't feel any danger at all, while Bagh glanced at Isaac with other meanings.
Walking along the road, about ten minutes away, there is a very special building standing there.
It is said that it is special, not because of the expensive building materials used in this building, or because the shape is very peculiar, but because this building does not have the slightest breath of life.
The boxy exterior has no superfluous embellishments, the windowless black stone walls are reinforced with steel frames, and the huge iron doors are so thick and sturdy that even the war has not brought the building down, only the rust on the metal parts can tell the change of time.
In every way, the building doesn't look like something you can use in everyday life.
"This is ......"
Speaking of this sturdy feeling alone, there are very few uses that Lamech can think of, and coupled with the geographical location, he can't think of any right number, so that this city will build a heavily guarded vault in a busy area, right?
Soon, Lamech's question was answered, but the answer was unexpected.
"This is the prison, the only prison in Macentonia. ”
Lamech thought about this possibility, but didn't pay much attention to it. Who would build a prison in the bustling middle of a city?
"But you just said that this is a commercial area, a craftsman area, and a concentrated residential area, right? It's too ...... to build a prison in such a place."
Realizing that his statement was simply suspicious of Isakh, Lamech paused slightly, breathing a sigh of relief.
"I mean, wouldn't it be a hassle to build a prison here? After all, it's a busy area with a lot of people. ”
Isaac smiled nonchalantly.
"It's true that no one wants to build a prison in a high-traffic area, but this prison was not built at that time. ”
I looked around, and I looked at the prison whose style was completely out of step with the surroundings.
Isaac explained.
"Macentonia has done a big replanning to cut most of the original military zone and divide it into other areas, and this prison is part of it. ”
As Lamech listened to Isaac's explanation, he wondered even more, could it be that Isak's so-called literature even recorded such a thing as a local development report?
"Originally, the prison would have been demolished or remodeled along with the zoning. But, as we see now, isn't it strange that no one has touched this prison?"
Indeed, it is inconceivable that a prison would be placed in a busy area rather than remodeled, and it would be too dangerous for both the prison and the people.
Isn't there any reason to be so dangerous that the whole city is afraid of it? Lamech, who has read too many novels and comics, can't help but think about it.
If you think about it, it's very likely, if this prison is full of prisoners like monsters encountered in the underground passages.
During the time that Lamech was thinking, Isaac's commentary continued.
And the answer to this incredible thing is in this prison. ”
As he said this, Isaac laughed mysteriously.
Seeing this smile, Lamai's bad premonition intensified. (To be continued.) )
