Chapter 244 (1/2)
There was a dead silence in the cell of the underground prison in the nine awn star wizard tower.
This is inevitable. The prison of the free Parliament can only be used to hold ordinary prisoners, while the underground prison of the nine awn wizard tower is specially used to imprison wizards and anyone who has the power similar to wizards.
Wizards who enter here will be handcuffed with a special kind of shackles to lock their hands and every finger; The silk ribbon holding the mouth can ensure that the prisoners can't pronounce half a note, the eye mask and earplugs can never see around them and hear any sound, and the broken sack like prison clothes can also ensure that there will be no entrainment on them.
All means and preventive measures are to prevent them from leaving here by any means.
For a wizard, this is a real hell, which can only be compared with the heresy trial of the church - Peter FASA never thought that he was really lucky to be a prisoner here.
And he was personally arrested by his mentor, Lord Baudelaire.
Looking at the closed door, Vera and Edward were locked inside. The pharmacist in the prison treated them before they came in. Although the means were very rough, it was lucky enough to ensure that the wound would not be infected and suppurated.
Unlike Gavin and Ivan... Peter sighed gently. After so much experience, the death of two good friends could not make him have much inner waves.
As a qualified night watchman, he can still see the situation in front of him - these people are all nine pointed star wizard tower... No, they are prisoners and chess pieces of the corona family, and their only value is to threaten Isaac and Loren Turin.
Whether they can reach an agreement with the corona family will determine the life and death of their three people.
”Don't you blame me?” bodrell, sitting opposite Peter, looked blandly at his apprentice: ”I also deeply understand the pain of being betrayed by my mentor.”
”It seems that you also have a story. No wonder you will become the running dog of the corona family and collude with us night watchmen.” the baby faced Peter FASA shrugged his shoulders and smiled: ”don't worry, mentor bodrell, I don't blame you - you just do your duty.”
”There are many secrets lurking in the road we have traveled, which is true for every wizard.” bodrell, who spoke coldly, was neither happy nor angry, but only indifferent and numb: ”do you regret becoming a night watchman?”
”Never.”
Peter FASA, dressed in prison clothes, wounded and shackled, looked as calm as Baudelaire: ”those foreign wizards can only see that eboden is the wizard's paradise, but they don't know that it is also the poor man's hell.
In a city full of wealth, poverty is the greatest original sin - without a night watchman, how can I, a child with ordinary talent in the civilian area in the south of the city, enter the nine pointed star wizard tower and become an apprentice of the famous bodrell?
And Vera, Gavin, Ivan, Edward... We knew what the night watch did from the beginning, but we just had a good life relying on them for years.
So now it's just paying off the debt for the good days before. What can I regret? ”
A moment later, a smile appeared on Baudelaire's face... It was a sympathetic smile.
”So now... You are the running dog of the corona family, and I am the running dog of the night watchman.” Peter FASA smiled childishly. ”Now the nicknames given to me by those apprentice companions finally live up to the name, watchdog.”
”They shouldn't have said that about you,” birdler shook his head. ”A bunch of dandies.”
Peter shrugged his shoulders as casually as he did at the beginning:
”So now, let's talk to the pawns representing their respective forces in private - what does the corona family want, the formula of Holy Blood potion, or the plan to destroy the Bellini family's rule of eboden?”
”As you said, I'm just a running dog and pawn of the corona family.” Baudelaire didn't answer him, ”how can I know this?”
”May as well start with me?” Peter said with a smile. ”As for the Holy Blood potion, if the corona family really want to get this thing, I still ask you to warn them not to think it too beautiful.”
”Why do you say that?”
”Because I talked with Isaac Grantham, I know that the Holy Blood potion is a thing - it is not a panacea that can cure all diseases as we thought; maybe it may be, but now it is completely a terrible poison. Anyone who can't resist the erosion of the void will be turned into a monster by it!
