Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Nine: There is always a sense of inexplicable disobedience to the d
Chapter 329:...This underground fifteenth floor design always has an inexplicable sense of incongruity. Did you get it wrong?
Following the footsteps of His Highness Meryl, Simmond soon arrived at the door of the Palace Prison.
This prison is also quite famous. All the people who are detained are extremely vicious and famous. If it weren't for the faction that Wang Wu's team had made too much trouble this time, they kidnapped the little princess and caused riots throughout the city, they would have been locked up here with their strength.
Building a prison in the palace is also a major innovation of the Holy Empire. There are two main reasons: First, the Imperial Capital Palace gathered the most powerful masters in the imperial capital, and there were two permanent members of the master-level bodyguards alone, and there were always no less than ten senior dream builders. More than half of these people cannot leave the palace anyway, so they must be safe. Therefore, detaining severe prisoners in the imperial palace can effectively use the power of these masters to suppress them. Secondly, those who are qualified to be imprisoned in the palace often involve secrets that some royal members do not want to exile. If the prisoners in the palace can effectively control the secret leakage.
To put it another way, people with insufficient status cannot access this secret prison. As Simmond's background, even if they struggle all their lives, they are afraid they will not be close to the prison gate. However, with the exception of the imperial concubine Meryl, he was finally lucky to see this legendary prison.
"It is said that many people's lifelong dream is to be locked in this prison... Legend has it that the prison is decorated in a luxurious manner, like a fairyland on earth. Although the prisoners are unable to come out for the rest of their lives, they live like gods. I don't know whether it is true or false?"
However, following Meryl through the ordinary entrance and gradually penetrated into the ground, Simmond knew that the rumors in the small circle were pure nonsense, the fairyland on earth? All the prisoners locked here made the royal family hate it to the core. How could they make them serve their sentences comfortably?
Walking in the long and narrow stairway corridor, the suffocating musty smell made Simmond frown deeply. The prison environment was even worse than he thought, damp, dark and decayed. Even a strong adult would probably not live long in this environment. Not to mention the rich dead air, as if he was absorbing human vitality all the time.
Simmond felt his face turn a little pale after just walking for a while. However, the pain was so tolerant to be seen by the Alliance thief who made his eyes bleak when he thought about it!
As Meryl went deep into the third underground floor of the prison, Simmond finally saw the Alliance thief.
The situation was completely beyond his expectations.
Simmond did not see a vicious bandit who ate meat and drank blood. In the small cell, a Penglai boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen was sitting quietly in the corner. His body was thinner than his peers, with a fair and delicate face, and he looked like a young scholar who had just started his studies.
Then, on the pretty boy's body, dark red blood was covered with all his body, and two thick iron chains penetrated his pipa bones and were fixed on the solid brick walls. The boy's hands and feet were broken, and there was a dream ring on his head, which was enough to suppress the dream power of the advanced dream builder.
He has lost his physical strength and was deprived of his dream-building skills. He is now a useless person.
To be honest, such a tragic situation is indeed a bit shocking, especially as he is just a child... But this guy deserves it. Isn't the situation of the Emperor** who died at his hands ten times more tragic than him?
"Your Highness... he is Wang Wu, right?"
Meryl stood beside Simmond and nodded slightly: "Yes, the legendary wizard who is never seen for a thousand years... Everyone has already experienced the strength. In order to capture him, the empire has made great sacrifices, including your comrades-in-arms."
Simmond wanted to say something, but he just thought of his dead comrades, and his eyes couldn't help but feel warm.
Meryl sighed: "War is cruel. Many people will say this sentence, but few people can truly understand it. Before yesterday, I guess you didn't understand it yourself, right?"
For many empires, war is like a grand dance that is exciting. The empires they have are the eternal protagonists on the stage, the brave and unscheming northern barbarians, and the unscheming alliance dogs, and the acting clowns who are slaughtered on the stage.
But only those who have actually been on the battlefield know what is actually going on.
After a long time, Simmond nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, Empress."
"What do you thank me?" Meryl was a little amused.
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness's brilliant plan, I believe that even if we make more sacrifices, we would never have the current gains. War... will inevitably be accompanied by sacrifices. What we can do is to make this sacrifice valuable."
Simond's tone was firm, and his eyes vaguely shone the brilliance of martyrdom that only mad believers had.
For a moment, even Meryl was amazed. Unexpectedly, the scapegoat he brought casually was actually a potential stock.
"A good enlightenment, with such a mind, if you train carefully for a few years, you will definitely become a great person."
Simmond was a little nervous: "His Royal Highness praised him. I was just... inspired by my feelings. I am dull and have not received a high-level education. I am afraid I can't afford to be the imperial concubine."
"Don't be polite, I have no expectations for you, I just say a few good words to make you feel at ease."
"ah?"
Meryl turned her head and said to Wang Wu in the cell: "Your uncle, you have to have a limit to pretending to be asleep. I'm going to say that I'm going to have a dry mouth, but you won't do it yet!"
At this time, Wang Wu in the cell slowly opened his eyes, but he was sleepy.
"Pretend you, you're just asleep and you're outside. Don't you know that you're going to have a dream for the rest of your life? We've made an appointment with you tomorrow morning, right?"
Meryl snorted without hesitation, "When is it still sleeping? You are a bastard, so you can only look for ** from your nocturnal dreams? The time we made an appointment is indeed tomorrow, but it is rare that I found a good embryo at the dinner, so I hurried to find you and even blamed me!?"
Wang Wu turned his eyes and glanced at Simmond, who was standing beside Meryl, with a terrified look on his face, and kept squeaking: "Is this what you call a good embryo? Is the good man in the empire dead?"
"Damn, just find a cannon fodder, what else do you want?"
Wang Wu was helpless about Meryl's work attitude: "Forget it, I have a responsibility to find unreliable allies like you, so let's make do with it."
After saying that, Wang Wu's eyes moved, and Simmond felt a tsunami-like mental pressure hit his face. His willpower, which had just achieved some success, collapsed in an instant.
He was just strange before he fell into darkness.
Why?
——
Why? Of course it was because of Meryl's treason, the Jue Menghuan on Wang Wu's head had long been replaced with a fake.
A day ago, Wang Wu and Meryl reached an agreement and successfully instigated the imperial concubine, who happened to be tired of being in the imperial capital at the cost of shame.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to let Meryl accompany Wang Wu to rebel directly. For the sake of the little princess, Meryl is not that stupid, but Wang Wu quickly proposed a plan that made the other party excited.
"First of all, I will surrender, and then..."
Although Meryl was pressed on the ground by Wang Wu and could not move, she became excited after hearing this: "Then in order to win the trust of others, so let me deal with it? Can you do something like this!?"
“…If you are interested, you can do it now.”
"Uh, forget it. Although I like little girls, I don't have much interest in little boys. Let's come to me to play when you finish your development. Back to the topic, you say you're going to surrender, and what about?"
"And then, I heard that there is a very amazing prison in your palace?"
"Hey, you don't want me to help you release all the prisoners in the prison and make a big fuss in the imperial capital, right? It's absolutely impossible..."
Meryl's reaction was quick. Wang Wu opened his head and immediately guessed the other party's plan.
But that's really not a good idea.
Indeed, there are five or six priests in the palace and prison. There are many masters in the palace and prison. There are only dream builders with close to the level of the master. There are also many top-notch warriors in the world, not to mention those great nobles in the empire.
If all these people are released, it will be enough to ignite the raging flames within the empire. At that time, not to mention the invasion of the Free Alliance, if the fire is not extinguished in time, the empire itself will collapse.
However, if these people were released so easily, the empire would not have kept them alive until today. The first three floors in the prison were considered free areas, but there were twelve floors in the deeper part, which were so vigilant that even the emperor herself could not do whatever he wanted. Not to mention her, the incompetent imperial concubine.
"It's okay, just bring me in and I'll solve the rest myself."
Meryl was very doubtful about where the other party got this confidence. To be honest, his strength was indeed not bad, but it was only not bad. It was absolutely impossible to break through the layers of formation mechanisms in the palace and prison.
If you want to break through the palace and prison with brute force, unless the Holy High Priest’s level master comes in person, even Master Feiyun will only break through to the twelve or three levels at most.
However, since Wang Wu himself asked so...
"Okay, I'll just find a way to send you in, but at most it's the first three levels. With your strength and qualifications, it's impossible to go deeper."
"Enough, but don't forget to find a cannon fodder for me then."
"This is easy, but don't forget our agreement."
"Don't worry, when you deliver cannon fodder to me, I will naturally teach you the training technique."
"One word is certain."
The above is the whole process of Meryl's shame and treason.
