Chapter 50 One day, everyone in the city will look up to us
"Don't even think about catching those people. If you really run into them, remember to run away."
Behind Knight Edward, Mo Cheng warned loudly.
"Don't worry, we will impress !"
Watching Knight Edward leaving with an expression that said, "We are going to accomplish something big so that everyone in the city will look up to us," Mo Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, and sincerely hoped that he wouldn't run into that group of fugitives.
Mo Cheng knew a little about the prison in Fairhaven. There were no jailers inside. There were only a circle of jailers guarding the gate. There were numerous magic patterns and numerous mechanisms inside.
The magic patterns are linked together, and with the passage of time and subsequent additions, even the engineering team that had the construction drawings at the time could not get out through the loopholes.
The prison was divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The prisoners in the outer part were from the lowest level of the fourth tier to the highest level of the seventh tier. Even a great warrior who had formed a supernatural system circulation in his body would become a weakling under the continuous extraction of magic patterns in the prison.
The internal prison has always been just a legend, a legend that even the local residents of Fairhaven may not have heard of. Mo Cheng knew about this matter because someone had done a quest line that clearly pointed out that it involved the internal prison.
Unfortunately, the person only posted a screenshot of the task introduction to show off, and did not update whether the task was completed.
But what is certain is that there is a group of fugitives who were able to break out from the outer prison, despite the effects of countless suppression magic patterns, extraction magic patterns, and many more magic patterns with unknown functions, and pass through countless killing machines.
Its strength is guaranteed to be at the sixth level, and there is at least one seventh-level spellcaster.
If Knight Edward really encountered this, the consequence would definitely not be to be admired by others, but to die in the line of duty.
Even when Mo Cheng heard that these guys were escapees from prison, he gave up the idea of looking for them to get the bounty. Mo Cheng knew that his magic resistance was low and he was vulnerable to control. Once he faced a seventh-level spellcaster, the best outcome would basically be to be kited to death.
The seventh step, in the words of the continent of Kovare, is the beginning of the road to legend, the beginning of an epic chapter, and it is a complete "heroic" class.
What is a hero?
Do things that ordinary people cannot do and achieve achievements that are almost miraculous.
"I hope we don't run into that Edward guy, otherwise we'll lose a friend."
The fugitive escaped from prison yesterday, and the law enforcement team would not have received the wanted warrant later than midnight last night. And this morning, Knight Edward came knocking on the door in the morning fog, and it was obvious that he came to notify us as soon as he received the news.
He could have asked someone to pass on a message when his team members were patrolling here in the afternoon.
But the other party came over early in the morning, and while giving warnings, he also revealed information that should not be disclosed in principle.
Regardless of whether the Glimmer Ointment saved Edward's life and the other party wanted to repay the favor, or Edward himself was a kind-hearted person, this behavior was enough to be called a "friend".
Mo Cheng lowered his head and couldn't help thinking, "There is almost no possibility of escape from Fairhaven Prison, and every time a prisoner is escorted in, the escort mechanism will be activated to ensure that each prisoner is escorted to a different location."
In [Foreign Land], there was a hapless guy who was sent to prison. He was the leader of a small guild and mobilized the guild offline to rescue him. However, when the main members of the guild committed a crime and were sent to prison, they were shocked to find that each prisoner was sent to a different area, and their equipment and items were cleared, and they were also subjected to the DEBUFF of continuous absorption of physical strength and magic power.
That rescue plan directly led to the disbanding of the small guild, and also gave people a glimpse of the true appearance of the Aundair Principality Prison.
"And spellcasters will basically be treated differently. Not to mention the seventh-tier spellcasters, even the junior mages above the third tier will have to be imprisoned in a special place."
Based on the information he had, combined with the image of the fugitive holding a katana on the wanted poster, Mo Cheng felt something was not right. "Kata-style weapons are rare in the Kovale continent, and most blacksmith shops don't sell them. How did the prisoners in prison get a katana, which is rare in all of Fairhaven, and how did they get out after gathering inside?"
“…”
After a long while, Mo Cheng raised his head and looked at the tall Mage Tower and the Aundair Palace. "Is there a traitor among the nobles causing trouble? Or has the beginning of the split of the Principality of Aundair already begun?"
Perhaps Mo Cheng's guess was close to the truth but it was of no use. There was a traitor among the nobles, but he had no evidence and didn't know which noble it was. There were so many nobles in Fairhaven that a brick could hit six or seven of them.
More importantly, he didn't even know where the fugitive was, so he had no clues to use if he wanted to report it.
And if this is a sign of the division of the Principality of Aundair, then Mo Cheng doesn't need to consider it at all.
The fundamental reason why the Queen's Party and the Prince's Party in the Principality of Aundair fought and split was that Queen Aundair promoted basic education on a large scale and granted titles to mages, big businessmen, and artists of commoner origin.
Promoting education has narrowed the gap between commoners and nobles. Granting titles to various talents of commoner origin is to win over a considerable number of people, while also classifying those new nobles under his own name, and being on the same front as Queen Aundair.
Even Mo Cheng could see that the Queen Andel, who was known for her vigorous and decisive actions, would probably take action against the nobles' land next, as that was the lifeblood of the nobles.
This made the old nobles in the Principality of Aundair, who were as dense as the roots of a tree, feel threatened, and they tried to unite to eliminate this threat.
There may even be other countries pushing this, because they don't want to see an overly powerful Principality of Aundair. An overly powerful neighbor always makes people sleep uneasy. Who knows one day the Queen of Aundair will think that the title of "Principality" is not good enough and plan to become a "Kingdom" or "Empire".
"Wanting to develop the Principality of Aundair into a centralized system, was it Prince Charles' idea?"
Thinking about the players' comments on Queen Aundair's spouse, Mo Cheng shook his head and said, "No, Prince Charlie is just an average person. He can carry out Queen Aundair's plans to the greatest extent, but he does not have higher vision or ambition."
"Women are just as capable as men. It seems that Queen Aundair really intends to change the title of the [Principality] to a [Kingdom] or [Empire] during her lifetime."
Speculating on the real reason behind the prison break, Mo Cheng had countless words in his mind that he wanted to give advice to Jiang Shan, but unfortunately, no one was listening, so he didn't dare to speak out.
On Earth, it was a very pleasant thing to talk about the world with others and write passionate words on the Internet, but in the capital of the Principality of Aundair, speculating on the disputes and behind-the-scenes stories between the royal family and the nobility and telling them out loud was like asking for pleasure in the torture chamber.
The secret forces directly under the royal family of Aundair are never easy to mess with.
