It has been almost a month since Lanita was arrested.
The girl from the Wing Tribe was imprisoned in the dungeon below Teacup Castle. She tried to escape, but there were sixteen guards guarding her, four in a shift, and they rotated on time.
No matter day or night, there is always someone watching her.
Lanita didn't speak the common language of the mainland, so she couldn't threaten or induce the guards, and those guys hardly made any exchanges with her other than eye contact.
No matter how much Lanita yelled or cried and howled, they were indifferent.
Coupled with the handcuffs on her hands, the heavy shackles on her feet, and the shackles specially made for her wings, the girl finally gave up the idea of escaping from here.
However, the man who claimed to be a prophet kept his promise that day and did not kill Lanita. He did not even torture her. He also arranged for a herbalist to check the girl's body regularly to see if she was sick.
Although the food was not rich, there was no deduction. Lanita and the guards ate the same food. In addition to bread, there were vegetables, fish and pork, which were changed every two days.
But Lanita still felt like she was going crazy.
She didn't know who her biological parents were. She had been adopted by Zebulun as long as she could remember. From then on, she had always been Zebulun's daughter in the eyes of outsiders, which developed her arrogant character.
Later, because of an unfortunate accident after a banquet on a rainy night, Zebulun felt guilty for her.
From then on, Lanita couldn't get anything she wanted, and no one could stop her from doing anything she wanted to do.
And just two years ago, she became a disciple of the white-robed wizard Amos. With the support of the Wizards' Guild, even Zebulun was afraid of this daughter.
After that, Lanita went smoothly no matter what she did, and everyone she met treated her with respect. It wasn't until she came to the Western Region that she suffered her first defeat in her life.
Not only did he lose Bailong, but he also became a prisoner overnight. He completely lost his freedom.
This was the first time that she had been locked up in such a small and dark cage, deprived of her natural right to fly.
She felt like her wings were going moldy, so after finishing lunch, she started grabbing the wooden fence of the cell again and started shouting Merlin's name.
Lanita wanted to see the prophet who took a break from teaching again and asked him how long he planned to imprison her.
She screamed until her throat almost started to smoke, but the guards remained indifferent.
Just when the girl was exhausted and wanted to give up, the dungeon door finally opened again.
A large wooden basin was brought down.
Two maids came down with them. They poured two buckets of steaming hot water into the wooden basin, and then went outside to fetch well water and mixed it together.
Lanita narrowed her eyes because she saw another familiar figure appearing at the door of the dungeon.
"It's you, Yasu, you finally remembered to come see me. I thought you would be so ashamed that you would never dare to see me again because you betrayed me, betrayed our tribe, the mother goddess Gaiya."
Yasu's face turned red immediately after hearing this, "I...I have no choice, Lady Lanita."
"I originally thought you could come up with a fresher excuse. All traitors will defend themselves like this. When you repeat it enough times, you can even convince yourself."
The girl put her cheek to the wooden fence, "But answer me, Wing Clan warrior, are you afraid of death?"
"I...I'm not afraid of death, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the huge risk to come to this continent and lurk here seven years ago." Yasu subconsciously raised his chest.
"Then what happened in Black Rock City before? Is it possible that you tricked me into falling into the trap of double-holiday education because of some kind of personal grudge?"
"It's hard to explain," Assy said seriously, "In short, you... we should follow the advice of the prophet Merlin and give up attacking the Western Territory. It would be best to directly persuade Solomon to take the rest and return to the continent where we originally lived."
"You mean the continent of Hadran?" Lanita sneered, "It is full of barrenness and disaster. Although the mother goddess Gaiya still cares about us, the earth under our feet has abandoned us.
"Crops are dying in large tracts, poisonous fruits are growing on the branches, the lakes are drying up, and the prey we can hunt is getting less and less. Look here again, the land here is just like flowing with milk and honey.
"Those farmers only need to sow the seeds and wait for the harvest. They even use the excess grain to make wine. The city is full of drunken nobles, their rivers are full of fish, and the woods are full of fish.
It's wild boar and deer.
"What's more important is the indigenous people here. They are very weak. We can easily defeat and enslave them. Whether it is Solomon or Zebulun, they will not let the fat meat that is brought to their mouths go uneaten."
However, Assu said, "That's just an appearance. There are weekends and Saturdays here. It is very dangerous, more dangerous than any disaster we have ever encountered."
Lanita shrugged, "I lost to the guy named Merlin, and I admit that he does have something, but... this will not hinder our grand plan.
"Based on what I know about Solomon, he has probably led his army to the west. By then, both Merlin and Shuangxiujiao will be vulnerable to the absolute power.
The girl paused, then continued, "The key now is how I can save my own life in the upcoming battle.
"If the female lord named Yin Leiya or Merlin feels that there is no hope of victory and kills me before dying, then I will suffer a big loss.
"So Yasu, I need your help," the girl said directly, "As long as you can help me escape, your previous betrayal of me can be wiped out, and I can even find a way to help you join the Shuangxiujiao.
You cover up the past.
"Well... let's just say you deliberately lurked around Merlin to collect information. You know who I am and how much energy I have behind me."
Yasu shook his head, "I won't help you escape."
Lanita punched the wooden fence, "Great, your stupid decision will kill both of us. In that case, why are you still here?"
"Let's make a last-ditch effort to save you and save our tribe."
"Don't you think it's a bit ironic to say these words from the mouth of a traitor?"
Yasu did not answer Lanita's question, and a strange look of disappointment and sadness appeared on his face.
The Wing Tribe girl didn't like the look in Yasu's eyes, but the latter didn't explain anymore and just threw the clean clothes in her arms in front of Lanita.
"Take a shower and put it on."
"Why, is my death day tomorrow?"
"No, the prophet Merlin is ready to fulfill his promise and send you back to Solomon."
