6 Simple plans and spell doubts

The torch light shone in the corridor, two figures, one strong and one thin, sat in front of the round table where the guards were originally sitting, and vigilantly glanced at the stairs leading to the upper floor not far from the round table, while discussing softly.

"If I expected it was not bad, this dungeon had four floors in total. We should now be on the third floor. The upper floor was the guarding point of the noble prisoners. The prison gate was very strict and there were no guards, but there would definitely be guards on the traitor corridor on the upper floor and above the dungeon. If you want to escape from this, you must conquer these two places."

"It's true that there is no guard on the upper floor; is there a corridor at the top?"

"No, it's a tower. We call it a traitor corridor. This tower is a cell dedicated to prisoners, divided into underground and on the ground. On the ground, aristocrats who have identities but have committed minor matters, and on the ground are some ordinary prisoners and serious prisoners." Speaking of this, the prisoner named Ed glanced at Shire, "and some guys who need to be interrogated.

Seeing Charles thinking, he said again: "Seldom people can escape here, because the traitor corridor is inside the castle, and there are a large number of guards and patrols around. When encountering emergencies, they can come to support them at any time. Not to mention this, its own defensive reserves are not something that both of us can deal with."

"Even if you add your...your skeleton, the middle-aged prisoner said, unable to help but look at the dead bone standing behind Charles again.

Apart from some dry blood sticking to the crotch and skeleton, that thing is generally no different from normal human skeletons.

Of course, this has to eliminate the faint green light in his hollow eyes.

The green light is very inconspicuous, and it is probably impossible to see it in the sun, but the environment they are in is dark at this time, so he naturally noticed it.

This is a magic product, a black magic that has long disappeared from history!

Holding back the throbbing and complexity in his heart, he said to Charles: "But we can create some chaos, such as letting the prisoners go out. Of course, they can't escape from the Red Fort at all, so we are not a crime." At this time, his tone was very low, as if he was not used to such things.

Charles wanted to say that escaping was important, and he didn't care if he was considered a crime, but seeing that this guy had a clear idea, he did not interrupt him rashly.

"But there is still a last difficulty. Red Fort is a castle in which the royal family lives. It has rigorous structure, four walls, and is guarded by heavy troops. Under normal circumstances, it cannot escape at all unless we have a large number of elite soldiers, but obviously we do not."

Speaking of this, Ed paused and looked at Charles, as if waiting for his reaction.

"Since you can consider this, you will definitely not make the decision to escape with me in a reckless manner." Charles said: "So what do you do?"

"I'm still thinking about whether to take this risk with you." Ed said without comment, and then said: "My daughter once told me that there is a secret passage to King's Landing under the Red Fort. Although I don't know the specific location, we can try to find it."

"What about the approximate location?"

"It should be near the virgin."

"Okay." Charles nodded resembled a sensation and stood up and said, "That's what you do!"

He was not familiar with this at all, so he naturally could not command it blindly. He would do whatever the direwolf planned it. Anyway, the situation would not be worse than it is now.

...

The plan is to first figure out the guards on the top floor of the dungeon. If there are few people, consider attacking directly. If there are many people, find a way to get the key, release the prisoners on the second floor to attack together, and then escape the dungeon while in the chaos.

To be honest, this plan is very simple and the hope of escape seems to be slim, but no matter how slim it is, you have to try it. It is better than staying here and doing nothing.

Because of his inconvenience in his legs and feet, Ed could basically do nothing but advice, so he stayed here for the time being, while Charles was responsible for going up to inquire about the situation and further release the prisoner. He was not very familiar with this kind of thing, but people were forced out. Even if he was not familiar with it, he had to do it in the face of a crisis.

Taking a deep breath, he quietly moved upstairs.

Shire did not carry a skeleton, because first he had to figure out the specific situation above before he could take action and would not take action, so there was no need to carry a skeleton.

Under Ed's close gaze, Charles walked upstairs and finally disappeared from sight.

"The old God blesses him, I hope everything goes well..." He began to pray silently.

In his heart, he had no hope that the two of them could escape, because he knew this Red Fort. To be sure, this place was the enemy's base camp and there were many crises.

So not to mention that Charles is still carrying him as a disabled person, even if he goes on the road alone, even if he takes a strange and terrifying skeleton, it is impossible to escape.

It just comes from inner unwillingness, instinctive self-blame and honor, and from the glimmer of hope brought by unknown magic, but he cannot let himself stay here calmly waiting for tomorrow's judgment!

Yes, tomorrow he will be judged by the queen and the new king, in the Cathedral of St. Belle, under the attention of all the residents of the King's Landing. This is what a great eunuch came to tell him tonight.

He also brought a sentence to Ed - "As long as you confess your treason, recognize and support Prince Joffrey's kingship, then the queen and our new king may consider freeing your daughter and allowing you to put on a black robe."

Is he really guilty?

No! He is innocent.

He just failed in this game of throneous.

So he is unwilling to accept it!

A lot of thoughts flashed through my mind, but Ed suddenly heard the footsteps at the entrance of the stairs, and couldn't help but open his eyes. When he looked up, Charle's figure came into his eyes.

"So fast?"

"Let's find out."

"How about it?"

"As you expected, the top guards on the dungeon will not exceed five people at most."

"That……"

"The key was hung on his waist by a guard, which was very conspicuous, but he was already asleep now." Charles walked up to the chair and said helplessly: "The others are gambling, and it is probably not over for a while."

“We can wait.”

"When they finish gambling? What if they don't sleep all night?"

"You can only attack when their defense is at its most relaxed level, otherwise there will be no chance of winning."

"But if there is no such opportunity, then we will have no hope." Charles said: "Maybe we can try to lure the snake out of the hole?"

He actually didn't say anything, that is, he would be able to leave here in a few hours, and he would probably not be in any danger at that time, but there must be a plan for such a thing. If he is still in this place next time he comes in, wouldn't he have to find a way to escape from prison again?

It's better to take advantage of this time...

After a moment of silence, Ed looked at the motionless bones standing beside him.

"You can only summon this one?"

"This..." Charles hesitated on his face and said with uncertainty: "It seems to be."

There is not much knowledge about this spell in the original owner's memory, and in this limited memory, there is no such knowledge about quantity...

His laptop was plundered again, but now he doesn't know where to put it, so he can't even do it if he wants to check it out.

But normally, beginners should only be able to summon one...

Because he was in a hurry before, he didn't have time to think about this issue. Now that he was reminded by the dire wolf, Charles was thinking.

No one stipulates that beginners can only summon one, so maybe they can use it again?

Try it?

If you can really summon a lot, there is no need to consider the dangerous move of leading a snake out of the hole. There are five guards on it, not two, and it is easy to get rid of it if you are not careful.

"It's bloody, you can stay here first."

After giving Ed a command, he looked around and walked quickly to the cell where the dead prisoner was left when he was looking for his allies.

He pulled off the black skull necklace on his neck, recalling the process, he took a deep breath and began to exert it.

Because he was not tied up, he couldn't use the necklace to stick on his eyes this time. He just needed to grab the necklace in his hand and aim it at the corpse. Both exist in his own field of vision, and the prerequisite for the spell activation was achieved.

In the dark and cold cell, everything was ready, Charles began to chant spells:

"In the name of the Dead, I ask for your help"

"This mantra is born and therefore extinguished"

"Wu Ming died tragically"

"Please resurrect!"

...

【You try to resuscitate a prisoner's body, and your casting fails】

The message floated by, the corpse responded without any response, and the spell had not become the strange tone he had when he had successfully cast it.

Charles was not discouraged. After all, he had tried a lot of effort when he first used it. Although he has made some progress now, it is impossible to succeed in one go.

So he sang again without any pause.

The second, third, and the fourth time, the words that were originally normal in the young people's mouth suddenly turned into a low, ethereal and noisy whisper.

Under the whisper, the decaying gray gas gathered out of thin air like silk threads from all directions, and finally, under the action of some thought, it penetrated into the inside along the corpse's ears and noses, and then-

A strange sob suddenly appeared in the quiet cell. Suddenly, terrifying and terrifying, Charles was so scared that he couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked nervously. He saw that the eyes that the body should have been closed were already opened without realizing it, blue veins spread out, his mouth wide open, and he stared at the top of the cell, his pupils gray.

"Why is it a little different from the first one?" A little relaxed, Charles frowned again in wonder.

However, before he could continue thinking about it, the body changed again.

A gray-white aura rose inexplicably from its wide pale mouth, and then it was very strange. The originally raised chest stopped like a deflated ball, closed its eyes, and the opened lips slowly closed.
