Xiao Chen looked at the cell next to him and found a woman lying on the ground. She seemed to be afraid of the light and had her eyes tightly closed. Xiao Chen asked, "Is this the stork?"
The crow Malos popped his head out from behind him and said, "Yes, that's her. The poor woman must have been tortured by them."
"Crow? Are you a crow?" Although the stork still had its eyes closed, it suddenly sat up and stretched its head towards the direction of the sound.
"Yes, it's me. I followed Master Xiao Chen from the East Continent to rescue you. He is a great magician, even more powerful than a great wizard."
The Stork was startled and shrank back slightly, obviously frightened by the name. She no longer had the attitude she had when she was mocking the other two. She said carefully: "I have been locked up in this dungeon for too long. I cannot stand the bright light."
The ball of light in front of Xiao Chen slowly dimmed, and the room was suddenly filled with soft and even light. He said, "I heard that you caused the death of those people because of an experimental accident?"
"Yes, sir. The materials we were able to buy were not pure enough, so this problem occurred. I actually feel very guilty."
"Come with me. I am quite interested in your spellcasting skills. Tell me what you know and I will provide you with shelter, compensate for the casualties you caused to others, and give you sufficient rewards."
The Stork finally opened her eyes a little and saw Xiao Chen and his group. She said, "Just the fact that you can save me from here is enough to pay off all my knowledge."
While they were talking, Bruders had already walked out of the cell. He saw the bound executioner Sadar and the two fallen executioner guards and asked, "Mr. Xiao Chen, did you break into this place?"
"This executor is not very cooperative. He firmly believes that we are demons from the East Continent, and I don't want to cause any killing here, so I can only bring him with me to prevent the executors here from taking action easily, and then use magic to knock them down.
You are right, from the door to here, all the executioner guards have been subdued by us."
In the dim light, Xiao Chen saw that Bruders looked a little bitter. He said, "Although I am very grateful that you rescued me, I didn't expect you to use this method. I thought everything could be more gentle. Now it's a bit troublesome."
Xiao Chen looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Bruders said, "This Sadar came from the headquarters of the judicial agency. If he is caught by you, he will lose contact with their headquarters. In less than a day, they will find that this Demon Prison has been turned upside down by you.
This is no ordinary incident. It is a rare disgrace for the judicial authorities over the years. They will definitely mobilize the executioners from the surrounding cities to arrest you."
Xiao Chen said: "We were forced to fight back in self-defense. Since this is an unavoidable result, there is nothing we can do."
But the Judiciary will not consider these circumstances at all, they will definitely investigate to the end. It is no longer a question of who you are. If someone can escape from the Demon Suppression Prison, it means that the Judiciary is not invincible, and their position on this continent will be seriously shaken. So catching you is what they have to do. "
"That's right." Sadar, who had been silent, finally spoke. "Before I came to you, I had already sent out the information that two large ships appeared in the East Continent, and I also requested support. At this time, countless executors must have rushed here from the surrounding cities. My combat power can only be regarded as above average in the Judgment Agency, and there are many masters who surpass me. Even when necessary, the four Holy Judges will take action. In front of a Holy Judge, ten of me will have no power to resist. Unless you retreat to the ship and escape back to the East Continent now, otherwise you will not have a chance to hold on under the full force of the Judgment Agency."
Xiao Chen knew that there were already devices similar to telegraphs on this continent, and secret agencies like the Tribunal naturally had their own communication channels. What Sardar said must be true. The Holy Judge he mentioned was probably as powerful as a saint, or simply a saint who was proficient in both martial arts and mental power. If there were really several such people who took action, they would indeed be in danger.
However, such difficulties cannot make Xiao Chen give up.
He said: "I think this is just the opinion of the judicial body itself. They cannot represent the will of the Saint."
Bruders nodded and said, "Yes, if the Saint gave the order to arrest you, then it would not only be the responsibility of the Judicial Bureau, but all the armies, civilian armed forces and even ordinary civilians would join in the arrest. Our ships and your ships in the harbor have already started a gun battle. Now that everything is calm except for the Judicial Bureau, it means that the Saint does not know about this yet."
Brudes glanced at Sadar and said in a low voice: "I have heard some rumors before. In recent years, because the Saint is still young and has not awakened all her memories, the four Holy Judges said that too many things should not disturb the Saint's awakening, and rarely report things to the Saint.
Most of the continent's affairs are handled by them and the sages themselves. So..."
"So the Saint has actually been sidelined for many years?" Xiao Chen asked.
"That's not the case. It can only be said that the Saint has not yet taken full power. After all, the Saint's authority has always been supreme. As long as the Saint says she wants to exercise all her power, no Holy Judge will refute it. This has been the rule of this continent for thousands of years. Moreover, they are all guardians chosen by the Saint in the previous life. No one would be stupid enough to betray such an immortal and powerful person as the Saint."
"Is that so? That is to say, if we can sneak into the Holy Maiden City, find the Holy Maiden, and convince her to accept our opinions, she will be able to stop the actions of the judicial body, right?" Xiao Chen asked.
"But the prerequisite is that you can get there, then get close to her, and finally convince her..." Bruders said.
"You are wishful thinking. You will never guess how sensitive the observers among the executors are to the fluctuations of demonic power. The most powerful among them can sense the activity of witchcraft power from dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
Saint Judge Yolanda is the most powerful observer on the continent. Her spiritual perception range reaches hundreds of kilometers, and I know that she has come here. "
