After receiving General Reynold's secret promise, Marvin relied on his identity as the son of the city lord to forcefully break into the city guard's dungeon.
Along the way, some guards tried to stop him, but he yelled at them all.
He found that as long as he kept a straight face and had a tough attitude, ordinary guards would not dare to stop him, the son of the city lord, let alone blast him out.
In this way, Marvin passed through all levels and soon reached the bottom of the dungeon where Underhill was imprisoned.
Although Underhill was put under house arrest by the Lord of Cosman because of his opposition, he was the chief priest and spiritual leader of the Koroma area after all. Even if he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the city guard, he still deserved a lot of treatment.
They cannot be treated like ordinary prisoners.
When Marvin stood in front of the dungeon, he saw Underhill inside, reading a book.
He had a laid-back attitude, wore purple pajamas, and looked peaceful, like an old man sitting in his garden reading a book, not a prisoner.
"Open the door"
Marvin took a deep breath and said to the two soldiers guarding here.
The two soldiers looked at each other and wondered: "Sir, we dare not open the door without the order of the city lord or General Renault. Please don't embarrass us."
"Asshole!" Marvin was furious. He slapped him twice and said angrily: "I am the son of the city lord and the most favored young master Marvin. How dare you two dare to stop me? Believe it or not, I just want to follow you.
With just a word from the commander, you will be assigned to clean toilets for a hundred or a thousand years!"
The two guards swallowed their saliva. They were assigned to guard the priest Underhill. They were both elites in the city guard and had a great future.
If I were assigned to clean toilets, my life would be complete.
As for whether what Marvin said was true, they didn't dare to doubt it at all.
Because everyone knows that Marvin is the person who cannot be offended in the city of Versailles.
If you offend the city lord, the city lord may not be as knowledgeable as a little person like you.
If you offend the eldest son of the city lord, the eldest son may just laugh it off and not argue with you.
Marvin is different. He is the youngest son of the city lord, and because he cannot practice the secret arts of the totem clan, he receives special care from his father and brothers.
The consequences of offending Marvin are more terrible than offending the city lord and other young masters. As long as Marvin opens his mouth, a word can decide the fate of little people like them.
"Don't open the door yet!" Marvin pretended to be angry on his face. In fact, he is not a person who likes to lose his temper, but sometimes if you don't be more aggressive, others won't be afraid of you.
The soldiers looked at each other and opened the cell door with a sad expression.
Marvin walked towards the cell and shouted without looking back: "Get out of here, if you hear something you shouldn't hear, be careful with your heads."
Once there was one, there were two. This time the soldier did not protest, and slipped out, not forgetting to close the cell door outside before leaving.
"Oh, my little Marvin, my student, I didn't expect you to be so majestic."
In the cell, Priest Underhill, who was wearing pajamas, said without raising his head while flipping through a book.
Marvin quickly walked in, half-knelt in front of Underhill, and whispered: "Teacher, please save my father and the Cosman family."
Underhill paused while flipping through the book. After a moment, he sighed: "But the temple and human armies are coming?"
In the cell, Underhill was not confused.
Because he knows very well that the most powerful among the totem tribe is the sacrificial lineage, and they are the shepherds of the totem god. Even the powerful tribal chiefs are just the lambs of God and need to be managed by the shepherds.
From the moment Cosman decided to oppose the temple's surrender agreement, had a big fight with himself, and put himself under house arrest, he knew that neither the temple that decided to surrender nor the humans who were prepared to accept the surrender would allow it.
Rebels exist.
Looking now, it turned out that everything was exactly as he expected, and it happened earlier than he thought.
"The human expeditionary force is coming. My father is determined to have his own way. He has no idea that resistance is useless. We have no strength to resist at all. If we continue to resist, we will only be massacred. The Cosman family with a long history is about to usher in the dusk. As Cosman
A member of the family must do something."
Marvin half-knelt on the ground, with tears and affection in his eyes, and begged: "Teacher, you are the chief priest of the temple and the most prestigious person in the Koroma area. Now you are the only one who can turn the tide."
"Turn the tide?"
Underhill looked around. He was already a prisoner. What could he do to turn the tide?
Although Marvin could easily come in, the guards were concerned about his identity and had to turn a blind eye.
But if they want to take him out, I'm afraid these guards will immediately turn against him and won't give Marvin this chance at all. Otherwise, it won't be a question of whether he will be shod, but whether he will lose his head.
"Teacher, I have a way."
Sensing Underhill's expression, Marvin said with a hint.
"You have a way?" Underhill's first reaction was disbelief.
He knew very well that his student was not keen on power. Although he had achieved academic achievements and could memorize the Totem God Code backwards and forwards, this ability could not cope with the current situation.
If you want to take him out, you can't just bribe one or two guards.
Don't look deep into the dungeon, there are only two guards.
In fact, this place serves as a dungeon for the city guards and is very heavily guarded. There are at least one battalion of soldiers and horses stationed on the ground.
In addition, this is where the City Guards are stationed. As long as there is the slightest disturbance, the main force of the City Guards will arrive.
That was an army of 30,000 people. Even with Underhill's strength, he didn't dare to dream of being able to rush out.
"The city of Versailles is an important military and political town, the foundation of the Cosman family. As early as the beginning of the city's founding, the ancestors of the Cosman family had considered how to retreat safely if they were besieged by a large army one day.
Therefore, there are a total of twelve secret passages hidden in various areas of the city of Versailles. These secret passages are only known to the family heads and heirs of the past generations, and they can all lead to the outside of the city.
One of them is right at the city guard station, and it's right here, at the bottom of the dungeon, in the room where we are."
As Marvin spoke, he looked at the load-bearing wall in the dungeon.
"Here?" Underhill looked surprised and couldn't believe this was true.
"The twelve tunnels are all in important places. The city guard station is an important military area. In the thinking of the ancestors of the Cosman family, if the city of Versailles is besieged, this place and the city lord's palace may be the last place of resistance. And the city guard
The dungeon is located in the center of the camp and looks inconspicuous. Who would have thought of arranging a secret passage in this place?"
Marvin laughed when he said this, and said: "Teacher, if I told you that there is a tunnel in the temple, would you be more surprised?"
"There is also a temple?" Underhill did not expect that the ancestors of the Cosman family would take such precautions. Maybe the Cosman family was not strong back then, but they really prepared everything they needed to prepare.
"Yes, there is a temple too. It is at the bottom of the Shenquan Well. If someone jumps into the well and goes downstream, they will find a big stone when they reach the bottom. There is a secret door behind the stone, which is a secret passage.
It leads to Lake Zelta, an inconspicuous coral patch in the lake."
When Marvin said this, his eyes dimmed involuntarily.
Because in his memory, on the day Versailles was captured, his fourth brother walked this secret passage.
Unfortunately, no one expected that a traitor would appear among the entourage.
In the end, his fourth brother was beheaded by a traitor, and this was the fundamental reason why he still remembered the secret passage in the temple.
As for the tunnel in the city guard, that was where his father asked him to escape.
In the end, he did not choose to leave because he didn't know where to go, so he chose to stay.
However, he clearly remembered the location of the tunnel.
The reason why he was sure to rescue Underhill, the chief priest who could reverse the situation, was also related to the location where Underhill was imprisoned.
It is a pity that in his previous life, he did not have such a long-term vision. When the expeditionary force broke through the city of Versailles, Underhill had long been rescued by the Skitarii, but now, it was not too late...m.
