An old orc walked into the room and sat in front of the deputy wardens.
"You have been imprisoned in the dungeon for 20 years?" The deputy warden flipped through the prisoner's information.
"Yes... Mr. Deputy Warden, I realize the mistake I made..."
The deputy wardens looked at each other and rejected his application for release from prison.
"Well done! Orcs are like that, they never know their mistakes..."
Some nobles in the audience said, there are still people whispering that there is such a rule in the dungeon? They thought that the guy thrown into the dungeon died within a few days.
As the old orcs walked out of the room, they saw the high wall that was said to have been miraculously raised in just one week.
The prisoners are called Old Orc Freeman. The prisoners include humans, centaurs, elves, and gnolls, all foreign races familiar to the Dechaso Mercenary Group.
As the carriage escorting the new prisoners drove into the high wall, the prisoners gathered around and bet on who would be the first to collapse: they would get the price of their impulses in the dungeon - endless regrets left for the rest of their lives.
The prisoners in the dungeon thought of him one after another and fell into sad silence.
The first lesson that the dungeon guard taught the new prisoners was the cruelty in the dungeon. A new prisoner couldn't bear the darkness of the dungeon and yelled. He was dragged out of the room by the deputy warden. After the ladies said "Oh my God"
He was beaten to death. The remaining new prisoners remained silent.
The next day, Andy and the prisoners went to the canteen to prepare meals and picked out maggots. Old Zoron took them and fed them to the baby birds he had picked up a few days ago.
The nobles thought this was very vivid, but the prisoners thought it was unreal. They had no independent cells, no canteen, no brown rice, not even maggots.
The story continues. Freeman got to know Andy and learned that he was sentenced to prison for murdering his wife and adulterer, but he insisted that he was innocent. Andy suffered a lot in the dungeon, and he, who was a businessman, struggled.
Adapt to the dirty work in the dungeon, and sometimes have to defend against the attacks of the most vicious criminals - but there are three of them.
Andy refuses to admit defeat, so he always fights back when trouble comes... sometimes he wins, but most of the time he loses.
The nobles were boasting that they would slit the attacker's throat with daggers, the prisoners were laughing, and Ms. Mia was wondering whether to let the children continue watching.
Andy's misery continues until a turning point occurs: a group of prisoners are selected to clean the high walls of the dungeon. This is their only chance to see the outside.
No matter whether they were nobles or mercenaries, children or prisoners, they all hoped that Andy could escape from the dungeon at this time. But Andy used another way to escape from here: on the high wall, the deputy warden was complaining about his batch of goods.
He was lost by the caravan and lost a lot of money. Andy told him that the caravan's goods had signed a contract, and he would be required to pay three times the compensation for the lost goods. He promised to help the deputy warden get the compensation back, and the price was just to ask them
Have a beer…”
The prisoners were sitting on the high wall, overlooking the vast city of Betar, as if the city and freedom were at their feet. Everyone was holding a glass of beer. The sun was shining on their shoulders, as if they were free.
Andy sat not far away, watching them enjoy the beer, with a strange smile on his face. This smile was the same as that of many viewers in front of the magic image: a happy and beautiful smile.
It seems that everything is starting to get better, the life in the dungeon no longer makes the audience feel depressed, and the nobles no longer chatter endlessly, but concentrate on the story.
Andy met the three brothers again. He was beaten half to death, but they failed. Then the deputy warden broke the legs and ribs of the three brothers. Then the deputy warden introduced Andy to the warden and asked him to
He made false accounts for the warden.
After being sheltered and appreciated, Andy discovered that the warden had a magic stone from "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower". He secretly took the magic stone away, then locked himself up on the second floor and screened "The Wizard" for all the prisoners in the square.
Fall of the Tower".
This time the prisoner audience can finally say: they have actually experienced it.
The cost of doing this was that Andy was imprisoned for a week, but he was still loved by everyone, prisoners, jailers, deputy wardens, and wardens. They needed Andy's smart brain. Andy also insisted on asking the City Lord's Mansion
Apply to open a library in the dungeon. Except that he is still in the dungeon, Andy seems to have never lost his freedom.
But a piece of bad news came: Old Zollen, who had been released from prison, died of suicide...
Freeman, who has also been locked up in a dungeon for decades, feels the same way. He said: "Old Zoren can't leave here, he no longer adapts to the outside world. The high walls in the dungeon are very interesting... When you first come in, you hate the surroundings.
The high wall; slowly, you get used to living here; eventually, you will find that you have to rely on it to survive."
Life must go on. On the tenth year after Andy came to the dungeon, and on the sixth year when he insisted on applying to the City Lord's Mansion, he received a response: Ms. Winter sponsored the dungeon library.
Annan tilted his head slightly at this moment and saw a curve appear on Mrs. Winter's hazy and noble profile.
Time is measured in years, and Andy seems to be accustomed to the life in the dungeon just like Freeman.
But there is a kind of bird that should not be locked in a cage, because every one of its wings is stained with the glory of freedom. Andy found the real culprit who killed his wife and adulterer, but because the warden was worried about false accounts
Exposed and rejected.
When the audience was worried about Andy, the magical image revealed the truth at the end: a tunnel that Andy had been digging with a pickaxe for nineteen years.
On a thunderstorm night, Andy climbed into the tunnel, got into the manure pit, and used the thunder to hit the fence with stones. Every thunder and knock seemed to ring in the hearts of the audience.
Finally, when the dirty Andy climbed out of the cage leading to the outside of the dungeon and stretched out his arms to face the pouring rain, the cheers in the auditorium were like thunder.
The story continues. When applying for release from prison in the 40th year, a relieved Freeman said: "I feel deeply guilty about what I have done all the time... This is not because I am here, nor is it to please you. Looking back on the past,
How much I want to say something to the stupid young man who committed the crime, tell him how I feel now, and tell him that there are other ways to solve the problem. But I can't do it... You can reject it, I give up."
As a result, the application was unexpectedly approved. But Freeman was different from Andy, who always had hope. His hope had long been extinguished. He had experienced everything that old Zoron had experienced, and now he was ready to end his life just like old Zoron.
At that time, he remembered Andy's letter, went to the address mentioned in the letter, and found a letter with the address and a travel fee under a fence.
Under the watchful eyes of the prisoners in the dungeon, the future citizens of Xingyue Bay, the mercenaries, and the nobles, Freeman trekked to the place Andy called the land of freedom, called Xingyue Bay. In a beautiful and dreamy place
On the azure ocean and white sandy beach, Freeman saw Andy jumping out of a small wooden boat with his sleeves rolled up and barefoot, and walked towards him.
