Chapter 223: The Forbidden Prison of His Majesty the Great
Galen said suspiciously:
"Really not?"
Lin Luo swore to God:
"Really! I have never been to Mithril City since that day, and I have never seen Lux."
Galen frowned and said in confusion:
"Then...that doesn't make sense. Am I just being paranoid?"
Lin Luo felt that something was not right, so he asked:
"What the hell happened."
Galen muttered:
"I remember that I read it correctly. We were all present when you were promoted to third-level army commander that day."
"so what?"
Galen glanced at him and said:
"Lacus was also present at the time. She seemed very surprised when she saw you advancing to the third-level legion. You also said that you had not met him secretly? And I did find that there seemed to be some sneaky people approaching Lacus recently, so I
I just asked you if you have seen my sister."
Lin Luo shook his head:
"I'm not going to lie to you, I've been worrying about the legion and some personal matters these days. On the day of the training, I went to the capital of Demacia."
He suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:
"Wait a minute, could it be that the other adventurers are secretly pretending to be me?"
‘Who is Lux?’ Sheep Spirit’s confused voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Luo suddenly became ashamed:
"Nothing...a friend."
Galen's voice brought Lin Luo back to reality:
"Forget it, I just want to confirm. Since it's not you, it must be the other adventurers... Damn it, these damn guys..."
Galen suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his casserole-sized fists loudly.
Lin Luo broke out in cold sweat, this guy is really a madman who protects his sister.
Galen looked at him fiercely and said:
"In the recent period, I will quietly observe. If there is really a lawless person spying on my sister, I will twist off his head and hang it in Mithril City for three days and three nights!"
Lin Luo sweated violently. Fortunately, he was polite to Lux, otherwise his head might have been damaged.
"By the way, having said that, this is my personal reward for you. You work hard, and you will have to side with the royal family when the time comes to fight. I'm very optimistic about you, so go ahead."
Galen quietly gave Lin Luo a token.
This is the benefit of NPC favorability.
As long as the favorability level reaches the standard, you can get some items from the other party. If it is a small number of romantic NPCs, he or she will write you some love letters and give you some small gifts such as roses.
An NPC like Galen who is the brother of a strong man from the sky will definitely not give flowers. This token is a private elite team of his legion.
He gave it to Lin Luo as a friend, which showed that the latter already had a certain status in his heart and was recognized by him.
[Tip: Power of Demacia - Galen's favorability towards you has been increased to: Friendly. You have obtained his personal reward: Crown Guard Token (50-man team)]
[Description: You can activate the Crown Guard Token, and after ten seconds, fifty Silver Winged Dragon Bird Elites will be summoned to assist you in the battle.]
Lin Luo's eyes lit up when he saw this, it was really an unexpected joy.
The Silver Winged Dragon Cavalry is the elite guard of Misilver City, the Crownguard family.
Apart from the imperial guards of the royal family, the Silver Winged Dragon Cavalry from the Crown Guard family is the most powerful. They all start with blue names at level 30.
The most powerful thing is that these silver-winged dragon cavalry are not limited in time.
"Good guy, what does atmosphere mean?"
Lin Luo finally understood what it means to be the leader of the Crownguard family and what it means to be the general of Demacia.
A random favorability reward is so outrageous, what if the favorability level was higher?
Lin Luo even came up with a whimsical idea. After maxing out his favorability, could he ask him to send out the Fearless Vanguard Legion to help him fight in the future? Wouldn't beating those players be like beating his son?
Shaking his head, it was enough to think about this kind of thing.
He put away the mission scroll and the Crown Guard token and walked towards the outside of the grand hall.
He had just taken a few steps out of the door when he suddenly felt a familiar figure quietly standing behind a very hidden corner, waving to him.
Lin Luo's perception was very high and he quickly took a closer look.
But he saw Lux wearing a cloak hood, looking around with a cautious expression. Seeing him looking over, he immediately waved for him to come over.
"is her?"
Lin Luo was a little surprised. What was she doing here?
Lin Luo looked around calmly and walked towards that place aimlessly.
Suddenly making a sharp turn and rushing to the corner, Lux quickly grabbed Lin Luo and quickly dragged him to a hidden corner.
"Lux...what's wrong with you?"
Lin Luo felt baffled.
He glanced around and inadvertently saw a secret door behind Lux, which seemed to lead somewhere.
Lux's expression was very nervous at this time.
She opened her hood, and her long golden hair flowed out smoothly.
She was just about to speak when the two of them felt something at the same time. They leaned against the wall side by side and held their breath at the same time, not daring to take a breath!
"Huh? Lin is walking so fast?"
"That boy is vigorous and resolute in his work, just like I did back then."
"It's time for us to go back."
"Yes."
"By the way, I heard that your sister has been harassed recently? Is it possible that she is not a group of adventurers, but a spy of some nobles? After all, your sister's secret..."
"I know, I know, please keep your voice down!"
Lin Luo and Lux carefully hid here and heard heavy footsteps walking towards the distance. They were relieved until the footsteps completely disappeared.
Apparently Garen and Jarvan IV passed by here just now.
However, they may not have been alert, otherwise it would be difficult for Lin Luo to avoid being detected.
"...Phew! Finally gone."
Lin Luo subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
its not right!
I'm not a thief, what do I have to hide?
At this time, Lux suddenly pulled him, put her slender index finger on her mouth to signal silence, put her pretty face close to him, her face was a little serious, and she said in a very low voice:
"Come with me, I have something important to tell you!"
Lin Luo was confused by her,
"What's the matter, so mysterious?"
"It's a very important secret that can't be known to others!"
Lux poked her head out from the corner, looked left and right, found no one, and said:
"You will know when you come with me."
Lux might be too nervous, and there was really something important, so she was even breathing rapidly.
She suddenly turned her head, with a solemn look she had never seen before on her bright and moving cheeks:
"Next, I'm going to take you to a place. No matter what you encounter later, you have to keep quiet. Can you promise me?"
Lin Luo realized that the other party didn't seem to be joking.
He took a deep breath:
"Lux, don't do anything dangerous."
He knew very well that the other party had powerful light magic in his body.
As for magic, it is forbidden in Demacia, especially in a place like the Grand Plaza. Once she is exposed to have magic, not to mention Galen, not even Prince Jarvan can save her.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Lux suddenly noticed something as if she was electrocuted. She quickly retracted her hand, lowered her head and pulled her hood back, saying in a voice like a gnat:
"Anyway... just come with me!"
…
Lin Luo, led by Lux, came to a place he had never imagined.
This is actually a prison!
To be precise, this is an extremely secretive building, suppressed under the majestic square, completely made of high-purity forbidden magic stone...
——Forbidden Demon Prison!
"……hiss!"
When Lin Luo stepped here, he saw an extremely shocking scene.
This prison is filled with skinny prisoners. The appearance of these prisoners is so terrifying that it makes anyone worried.
They were almost as thin as skeletons. On top of the obvious uneven skeleton marks, they were covered with a layer of skin that looked like deathly ash. Their two cloudy eyes had lost their mobility. A circle on their scalp seemed to have been cut open with a sharp knife, and then it appeared again.
Roughly stitched together.
At first glance, none of the prisoners look very human.
Because their eyes have lost their sharpness, as if they have lost their ability to think.
All the prisoners were naked, with wounds all over their bodies, with only their private parts covered, just like Jesus being crucified on the cross. Their hands were hung high by stone chains made of forbidden magic stone, and their feet were spread apart, with their ankles spread apart.
It was also tied with stone locks.
The necks of these people were also tightly strangled by magic stone locks, but the prisoners seemed to have lost the sense of pain long ago, and their expressions were only numb.
At a glance, Lin Luo saw that there were thousands of prisoners.
When they saw themselves and Lux come in, they looked at them with indifferent eyes, as if they were walking zombies.
At this moment, Lin Luo really felt that his scalp was numb and his whole body was trembling with panic!
Where is this place?
Why does this kind of place appear in Demacia?
He used his Insight Technique to throw it over, and the information from these people was fed back.
These people are not monsters, but residents of Demacia.
To be precise, they are criminals.
In the country of Demacia, those who possess magic are unforgivable. If you can remove magic from infancy, it will be fine. If you hide the past and grow up, the consequences will be very terrible.
Lux looked at these people with sympathy, bit her lip and said:
"These people... are all people who have been identified as possessing magical power... They were captured by the soldiers of the nobles and imprisoned in the magic-forbidden prison... They are all pitiful people."
Lin Luo shrugged his nose. The prison was filled with a turbid, musty, and foul-smelling atmosphere, like a Shura field.
He looked around and felt a little uncomfortable, both mentally and physically.
he asked:
"What crime did they commit...to torture them like this and inflict these tortures?"
Lacus lowered her head and said with a complicated expression:
"The crime of possessing magic."
Lin Luo seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous and was puzzled:
"Is it a sin to possess magic? Even if this is a Demacia tradition, it wouldn't be so cruel, right?"
Lux sighed and said helplessly:
"This is a law enacted by the first royal ministers. It is the first article of Demacia's constitution. As for these tortures, they were all done by those nobles."
Lin Luo asked again:
"What about the adventurers? There are many mages among the adventurers. Why don't the nobles catch them?"
Lux whispered:
"Because they are not Demacians."
Lin Luo felt even more ridiculous and said with a surprised expression:
"But what should those people who were born in Demacia and have magical talents do? After all, this is not something they can decide."
Lux said:
"Yes, that's why there is a free exorcism ceremony for babies."
Lin Luo pointed to these thousands of prisoners and said:
"Then what happened to them?"
Lux said:
"Some of them have not been found out, and some have been secretly concealed by their parents, but in short... they are all adults."
To be honest, when Lin Luo first saw this scene, he felt a little ridiculous and angry.
After all, he is a normal person. Seeing this scene with his own eyes will make him feel somewhat uncomfortable and confused.
Demacia's anti-magic laws and the cruel behavior of those nobles were indeed unacceptable to him.
Because a lousy law from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China could torture thousands of people and then imprison them in dark underground prisons. The key is that he had some understanding of it. Ordinary people did not know these, and the evil deeds that were concealed were revealed.
is the scariest.
"Lux, I cannot accept the behavior of these nobles."
Lin Luo's face looked a little ugly.
The reason why he said this was not because of how cruel this scene was.
There was a question that he found more ironic, but he didn't ask it in front of Lux.
That is, since magic is Demacia's original sin, why is Lux still alive and well, even living a better life than 99% of Demacians?
Of course, he was not targeting Lux, he was referring to this unfounded crime, where the nobles' magical heirs were not dealt with, but the civilians had to endure such cruel torture.
Lin Luo asked tactfully:
"Are there any nobles among the prisoners here?"
Lux's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and her expression had already answered this question.
Lin Luo took a deep breath, he was finally sure!
This so-called anti-magic law may not be an original sin at all, but a method used by the first generation of royal ministers and today's nobles to rule Demacia.
As a combat player, Lin Luo is very aware of the terrifying combat power of mages.
The only reason Demacia did this was to forcibly strangle magic power.
Because this kind of power is given by God and cannot be determined by the nobles with power, money, or status. If one day a powerful magician appears among the common people, it will most likely threaten the status of the nobles. This is what they are worried about.
The problem.
This problem is also the root conflict between the royal family and the nobility.
More than ten years ago, the young Jarvan IV once expressed his support for Demacia's abolition of the law prohibiting magic.
But this is absolutely not allowed among the old-school aristocrats!
This touches on their fundamental interests!
This is their reverse scale!
Once this contradiction is triggered, it is like a mirror being shattered, and it can never be restored.
The royal family and the nobility were also completely at odds with each other and became at odds with each other.
From then on, all the noble classes began to unite and work together to eclipse the royal family.
This is also the real reason why Jarvan IV has not succeeded to the throne to this day!
The source of all this is because of four words.
——The law prohibiting magic!
…
this moment.
Lin Luo suddenly realized something.
He looked at these poor criminals who were indifferent, with muddy saliva drooling from the corners of their mouths, and giggling constantly. He frowned, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes gradually became firm.
Some people's organs were incomplete, some even had their skulls smashed into pieces and had not been sewn back together, and even only half of their heads and bodies were left, but they survived completely due to a strange force.
This scene shocked Lin Luo. Is the crime really that bad?
He couldn't help but ask:
"Lux, will the people towards the back get worse and worse?"
Lux seemed to have been here countless times. She nodded with pity and piety on her face.
Lin Luo suddenly remembered that when he first met her, she was standing in the morning sun praying scriptures, with the same expression.
Lin Luo understood.
At the beginning, she was praying for these poor "sinners".
Her kindness is part of the reason, but the bigger reason... is actually sympathy for the same people.
Because of Lux, she is also an adult with magic.
But she was safe and sound under the protection of her family, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
…
Soon the two reached the deepest part of the prison.
Here stands a huge cage made entirely of forbidden magic stone mixed with forbidden magic steel!
The entire cage seemed to have imprisoned an extremely terrifying existence.
Lin Luo's pupils shrank. Even lions and tigers didn't need to be trapped in such a huge cage.
The cage is more than ten meters high and forms a straight upward cylinder. Thousands of solid demon-forbidden steels stand there, forming a terrifying demon-forbidden cage. The gap between each prison column is less than five centimeters. It exudes a cold and desperate aura of suppression.
But it was such a huge cage, but a violent and huge hole appeared in front of the cage, as if it had been broken by a terrible force.
Lin Luo suddenly thought of something and asked Lux:
"This is where you want to take me?"
Lux nodded and said:
"Yes."
Lin Luo looked around carefully and suddenly asked:
"Why did you bring me to a place like this? As far as I know, I can't come in here, right?"
Lux was silent for a while and suddenly said:
"Yes, but didn't I promise you before?"
Lin Luo frowned and said:
"Promise me?"
Lux's expression suddenly became one of surprise, and she raised her voice and said:
"Lin! You haven't forgotten everything, have you?"
She opened her eyes wide and gestured with her hands:
"We...our original agreement!!!"
Lin Luo suddenly remembered something and slapped his head!
Damn it, how could I have forgotten this!
He opened the task list and clicked on the favorability task column: [Glorious Girl - Lux's favorability task: growing the army]
This mission was accepted by Lin Luohao a long time ago. The mission requires the hero to advance to the azure-level legion, and then obtain Galen's approval to receive rewards.
Lin Luo accepted it without much thought at the time, and he had recently been focusing on the legion and job transfer, so he gradually forgot about this mission.
"No, no, no! I remember! I said, I will raise the legion to the third level, look!"
Lin Luo quickly pointed to his Azure Legion Medal.
He finally understood, no wonder Lux was acting wrong from just now to now, and she secretly brought him to such a dangerous place.
It turns out that everything is because of my mission.
And she took the risk to bring herself here just to reward herself?
My God, where can I find such a treasure girl?
"I'm sorry Lux, my memory is not very good, please don't be angry."
Lin Luo scratched his head and could only smile bitterly.
Lux said with a bitter face:
"You hateful guy, it turns out you have forgotten everything that happened in the past! I made a lot of determination to bring you here."
Lin Luo is about to cry but has no tears. You are right, I am really busy, I am almost exhausted!
However, Lacus is the considerate type. When she saw Lin Luo apologizing, she was not unhappy. Instead, she comforted:
"Don't worry, I won't be angry. My brother and you are both the commanders of the legion. I'm used to you big guys being busy here and there. I want to give you something now, so you must not tell anyone else."
She suddenly lifted up her skirt, tiptoed, and walked cautiously toward the huge cage.
Inside the cage, she actually opened a secret compartment.
Then she dug out several ancient and burnt-yellow notebooks from the dark and secret compartments.
"Here."
Lux walked up to Lin Luo and quickly handed it to him, for fear that others would see it.
"What's this?"
Lin Luo glanced at it, it seemed to be some special note.
Lux whispered:
"Didn't you ask me before if I had any apprentices or taught anyone?"
She pressed her voice to the top and said:
"What you were talking about... was actually magic, right?"
