Chapter 451 (1/2)
To the south of Golovin hill, at the foot of the mountain opposite the sky palace, lies an old fortress with mottled vicissitudes; Because of the age, the original white high wall has been dirty, like a black stain under the glory of the imperial capital.
Although old, the fortress is surrounded by towers, full of expressionless and heavily armed guards; The tightness of defense is not even under the sky palace.
The name of the fortress has long been forgotten. Now the nobles in the imperial capital call it a ”black prison” - a prison specially used to hold serious criminals.
The black haired wizard, who had waited for an hour to get permission, was able to step into the rusty cast iron gate after filling the jailer with a bag of silver coins.
Nominally, Loren, an ordinary wizard, is certainly not qualified to come in; However, as the wizard adviser of his royal highness, the jailer who dared not offend the royal family and was greedy for money agreed to his request.
Behind the gate is a dark corridor; There are no doors and windows, only the torches on the end wall illuminate the corridor; On both sides of the corridor are extremely narrow square holes, with rusty iron fences.
The dark and yellowish fire, the cold and damp walls, the smell of corpses, the mice shuttling between the seepage of the floor... And the haggard arms stretched out from behind the fence.
But these are tolerable
Loren frowned. From the moment he stepped into the corridor, he felt an extremely obvious pressure, as if two awls were constantly stabbing into his brain from his ears.
This prison can suppress the connection between void and consciousness... Not to mention the use of magic spells, the black haired wizard found that he couldn't even meditate!
We can't delay any longer. We must leave this ghost place before the former chief justice arrives... The black haired wizard quickened his pace and walked towards the goal.
”... lusak kovo, a famous alchemist in the imperial capital, is proficient in pharmacy, medicine and ancient Rune literature, and is the next president of the pharmacist guild;
About two months ago, he was hired by the chann family as siscott chann's private doctor... Nominally to recuperate the late former chancellor of the exchequer, and was also responsible for all regular examinations;
At midnight last night, siscott chann, who went to the Royal wizard College for a banquet, suddenly felt unwell when he entered the hall, vomited blood and fell to the ground. He died a minute later;
Later, after investigation, it was found that Lord siscott did not die suddenly, but died of poisoning... And Lord siscott did not eat anything from the evening to midnight. The only thing he ate was the medicine prepared by master lusack to maintain his body;
After investigation, this medicine was also found to be an alchemy medicine containing strong void power, which was enough to kill an old man who had never been exposed to wizard knowledge;
Therefore, lusack kovo, a private doctor, was found to be a major suspect and was imprisoned in a black prison awaiting trial... ”
After reading the last word on the scroll in his hand, the black haired wizard slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of him.
He was tied to the pillar, black and blue from head to foot. There was no difference between the solidified blood scab and the broken prison uniform full of blood.
”It's a pleasure to meet you, your excellency Lusaka kovo. In lower Loren Turin, your son seran kovo is my friend.”
”I'm here to help you get rid of your crime.”
The absent-minded middle-aged man tried his best to open his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth with difficulty:
”Exoneration?”
”Why, why exonerate me?”
Loren was stunned and frowned slightly: ”didn't you hear me? I just said that I am also a wizard and a friend of your son...”
”I didn't ask you this.” the scarred Lusaka hung his head and interrupted the black haired wizard with a low moan: ”I'm asking you, why do you want to get rid of me... What do you want from me?”
”Well... Because you were obviously framed and used as a scapegoat...”
”Young man --!”
There was a breaking wind in Lusaka's throat, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the black haired wizard's face:
”Don't think... I'm as easy to cheat as my son; this is a black prison. How can ordinary wizards come here?!”
”And I know your name. You are the wizard adviser of his highness Brandon de sallion!”
