At night.
Thunder Prison Hall.
Red Dragon Di Mayaro leaned against the chair and yawned. Bored, he took a sip of the juice in his hand. The more he drank, the more he felt that it was tasteless. He tossed the half-empty bottle into the trash bin twenty meters away from the corner of the hall. This was one of the few ways to entertain himself as the highest guardian of the Thunder Penitentiary.
The Thunder Prison was not an ordinary prison. It was a place specially designed to imprison Saint-level powerhouses. It was located in the southwest corner of the inner city. Not only was it guarded by a large number of elite troops, but there were also powerhouses from the Dragon Rider Legion. Coupled with the layers of magic arrays, it could be said to be impregnable.
Even though most of the people imprisoned were Saint-level experts, it was a very easy task for the guards due to the fact that it was almost absolutely safe. However, for a member of the Dragon race who had a long life and liked to be carefree, this was definitely a tough task.
He could not drink his favorite Dragon Fruit Wine all day and all night. He could not take his favorite money bath in a pile of crystal coins. He could not peep at beauties changing clothes. He could not even transform back into a dragon and spread his wings to fly comfortably in the sky … There were too many things that he could not do!
Compared to the days that felt like years, the carefree life in Ryūzoku was simply the enjoyment of the Dragons. What was depressing was that there were still three months until the arrival of the next Dragon. Every minute was torture.
Suddenly, Dimayaro's face changed and he stood up. He could clearly feel that all the connections between him and the Dragon Inscription Matrix had been completely cut off in an instant. The Supreme Guardian had a special "Spiritual Refraction" to establish a connection with the core Dragon Inscription Matrix of the Thunder Prison. They could see through all the possible abnormalities in the Inscription Matrix. The power of the inscription formation in the core area of the Thunder Penitentiary was extremely strong. Even a super powerhouse would not be able to break in without a sound. Now that the connection had been cut off, it meant that the Dragon Inscription Formation had been cracked!
Cracked in the blink of an eye without a sound? This was not something that could be done with brute force. One must have extremely profound attainments in Dragon Inscription. To achieve this level, perhaps even the Great Elder of Ryūzoku, Meriya, might not be able to do it!
Right, it seems to be very quiet outside. Does this mean that all the defenses are down … Dimayaro could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Oh? He actually sensed the disappearance of the inscription. Did he use Spiritual Refraction? " An unfamiliar voice rang out from behind him, causing Demayaro's hair to stand on end. His entire body blazed with a blazing red light, illuminating the entire hall. Without hesitation, he launched an all-out attack.
The fire that filled his eyes instantly converged and turned into a small fireball the size of a fist. It floated on the fingertip of one hand as if it was a harmless fireball that was turned into nothingness by a gentle tap of a finger.
Demayaro's heart sank. He was an outstanding figure amongst the younger generation of the Dragons, and his strength was on the verge of stepping into the realm of a Kingdom. However, the strength displayed by the enemy in front of him had probably far surpassed the level of a Kingdom. He was simply unable to match up to him.
"Little guy, don't be nervous. I won't hurt you." The man was wearing a mask that only exposed the mouth and nose, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, "Besides, I didn't kill the people outside. I just modified the Dragon Inscription nearby and turned it into an illusory magic circle so that they can't detect the movement here."
"Excuse me, which Elder has come?" Demayaro asked tentatively. Only the Dragon Clan could have such attainments in the Dragon Inscription Array. Moreover, it should be a senior Elder-level powerhouse.
Unless it was a big event like the Elder Assembly, most of the Elders would usually be in closed-door training. Even the giant dragons of Ryūzoku might not have seen all the Elders, especially the younger generation.
"Hehe, little guy, don't ask so many questions. I was entrusted by Little Andrew of the Perrin Family to come and see the Dragon Knight named Samuel, and to pass a few words to him."
This masked man was naturally Chen Rui. Demayaro was at least a few thousand times older than him, so calling him "little guy" was actually very insulting. However, Demayaro didn't doubt it at all. Instead, he showed a look of realization, "So it's Little Andrew, no wonder … Uh, since Elder is not convenient to say, I won't ask anymore."
On this trip to Thunder Prison, Chen Rui easily convinced Ben Hong. In fact, Ben Hong didn't even bother to ask about the reason of being a "follower of a benefactor". He simply chose to turn off the dormant state of his Perception. Anyway, with the master-slave contract between them, as long as she didn't cancel the contract, Chen Rui wouldn't betray her. This was the main reason why Ben Hong was relieved.
In fact, in Ben Hong's opinion, compared to a top-notch supra expert like him, who was close to becoming a God, and ordinary people with strength, ordinary people were just insignificant ants. Other than power, he would not care about anything else. As for grudges and trifling matters, they were just a joke. At the same time, this was the general mentality of many Super Masters, especially those who were above the Demigod level.
"Little Red Dragon, what's your name?"
Hearing that the other party recognized him as a Red Dragon at a glance, Demayaro was even more convinced, "Demayaro greets Elder."
"Then, Demayaro, take me to see the Dragon Knight that Little Andrew can't forget."
"Elder, this way, please." Demayaro didn't hesitate to lead Chen Rui to the passage ahead.
Demayaro was already at the last stage of Thunder Prison. Inside was a cage area protected by a magic array, and there were no guards on guard.
The Thunder Prison was actually a huge Confinement Magic Array. Every cell was a sub-magic array, and they were all linked together. Once an ordinary powerhouse was imprisoned, it could be said that it was impossible for them to escape.
Inside the prison was a barrier surrounded by lightning, and people who weren't familiar with it wouldn't know where the prisoners were imprisoned.
Demayaro led Chen Rui into one of the barriers, and inside was a cage.
"Elder, this is the place. The barrier just now can isolate all images and sounds inside. You can rest assured when you ask questions."
Chen Rui saw the person in the cage. It was Samuel, who was lying limply on the ground like a corpse.
There were many ghastly wounds on Samuel's body. His entire body seemed to have been sucked dry, and he had lost his strength. If it were not for the pair of slightly opened eyes and the weak breath of life, one would have thought that he was dead.
Chen Rui frowned, "His injuries … What happened?"
Demayaro hurriedly explained, "Elder, please don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything to this Dragon Knight. When he was captured by Commander Fageris, he was seriously injured. Later, Second Prince Garfield sent the Golden Knight Trinidad to break his limbs …"
A sharp, cold light flashed in Chen Rui's eyes. "Open the door."
Feeling the chill, Demayaro shuddered and quickly took out the magic key to open the door of the cage. He bowed and said, "Elder, please help yourself. I'll go out first and guard the hall. No one is allowed to enter."
The red dragon was very clever. He knew that the elder was dissatisfied with Samuel's serious injuries, so he immediately chose to leave. Even if the elder wanted to break into the prison, he wouldn't be able to stop him with his strength, so he might as well do him a favor.
After Demayaro left, Chen Rui hurriedly walked into the cage. Looking at the terrible wounds, the murderous look in his eyes became more and more intense. He immediately helped Samuel connect his broken bones, took out healing potions, and applied them orally and externally. Despite the help of < Analytical Eyes >, Samuel still broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain when connecting the bones, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Under the effect of the potion, Samuel's face finally recovered some color, but his internal injuries and vitality couldn't be recovered for a while. He whispered, "Thank you, sir elder."
It seemed that Samuel heard Demayaro's address just now and also regarded him as an elder of Ryūzoku.
Chen Rui tried to use Evil Eye and < Deep Analysis > to detect, and he found that Ben Hong was indeed in a dormant state. To be on the safe side, he carefully wrapped the mark around the mark with the power of Evil Eye. Then, he said, "How did you and the Ktribut Family fall into this situation?"
The familiar voice shocked Samuel. His eyes showed disbelief, "You …"
"It's me, Samuel." Chen Rui took off the mask, revealing the true face of "Arthur".
"Your Highness! You actually came here! "Samuel was extremely emotional. He struggled to get up, but he was stopped by Chen Rui.
"Your injury is very serious. Lie down and rest for me first. This is my order!"
Samuel smiled bitterly, "I have always wanted to follow in the footsteps of Your Highness, but every time Your Highness came to me at the most critical juncture …"
"Tell me first, what happened?"
"This starts from my father, Carlo." Samuel sighed and looked ashamed, "Because I have been suppressed and persecuted by the Third Prince, Garfield, and I was ordered by Your Highness not to disclose the news that Your Highness is alive. So, I'm sorry … My father finally couldn't stand it … He accepted the olive branch thrown by the Fourth Prince, Luke."
"You and your father don't have to apologize. It is far more difficult to support a family than outsiders think, and it has been so many years …" Chen Rui shook his head, "So, the so-called joint complaint was planned by Garfield?"
"Yes. My father has worked hard to run the entire family and has served as the Financial Secretary for many years. It is impossible to say that he is completely 'clean', but it is definitely not as sensational as described in the chamber of commerce's book. In fact, there is basically no clean person in that circle, or rather, clean people can't enter the circle at all. This matter is completely Garfield's trick. However, my father did take a wrong step this time. If it was in the past, even in the face of the trade fair, His Majesty Rex would not have such an intense reaction. Moreover, with His Majesty's wisdom, it is impossible for him not to see the suspicious points. The reason why he did this should be that he is very dissatisfied with my father's choice to support the Fourth Prince, Luke, so he took this opportunity … "
Chen Rui nodded. Dragon Emperor Palgoris had long known that this matter was related to the internal strife of the royal family. He must have communicated with Rex. Garfield had been persecuting the Kavagot Family for so many years, but Rex The Great was basically aware of it. He was generally indifferent to it, or he would turn a big matter into a small matter. This time, he was clearly taking advantage of Carlo.
In the original layout set by Rex, the Kavagot Family should be in a very delicate position. It could play a "balance" role in the princes and even the entire family. Now, in order to reverse the family's predicament, Carlo had turned to the Fourth Prince, Luke, which was equivalent to destroying this balance. Therefore, Rex The Great would deal a heavy blow to the Kavagot Family. This was also a kind of knock on the head.
After the experience in the Demon Realm, Chen Rui was already a veteran with a keen sense of politics. If there was no accident, Carlo and the Kavagot Family should not be in "life danger". After the limelight, it was likely that there would be a chance to be reused in the future, but their status would undoubtedly be greatly reduced. If Carlo was stubborn, and the Kavagot Family could not continue to play a "balance" role as before, then Rex The Great would completely abandon the Kavagot Family.
"What happened when you assassinated Garfield?"
"My destination was originally the palace. This was also Garfield's evil scheme. He set a trap to lure me there, creating the illusion that I attempted to threaten or assassinate Rex The Great to save my father. As a result, I saw through it in time and evacuated in time."
Chen Rui thought of the plot of Lin Chong mistakenly entering the White Tiger Hall in "Water Margin". It was exactly the same as Garfield's trick. Fortunately, Samuel was not Lin Chong, but what about the assassination of Garfield later?
"Just when I carefully retreated all the way to the Ziyuan Palace Garden, I happened to see that bastard Garfield actually wanted to forcibly molest Royal Highness Veronica!"
When the name "Veronica" fell into his ears, Chen Rui's soul suddenly fluctuated. A pair of deep and beautiful eyes appeared in his mind with a touch of sadness and gentleness.
Garfield, want to forcibly molest?
An inexplicable anger appeared in Chen Rui's soul. He wanted to tear Garfield into pieces.
"Your Royal Highness, please rest assured. I immediately stopped Garfield at that time. Royal Highness Veronica was not injured at all. Not only did I beat up the second prince, but I also silently invaded his abdomen with the [Morning Light Extinction]. Even if he recovers in the future, it will be difficult for him to restore his masculinity as a man. I'm afraid His Royal Highness hasn't noticed this yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as breaking my limbs. "
Samuel showed a bit of complacency. It seemed that he didn't care about the price of his serious injury. Instead, he felt that it was worth it to exchange for Veronica's safety and to plot against Garfield.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and calmed down. He suddenly understood why Samuel would "assassinate" Garfield.
He didn't know whether he should laugh, cry, or sigh at this kind of loyalty.
