"This place is different from the palace above. There is no magic array to suppress mental power." After Xiao Chen entered the dungeon, he did not feel the kind of suppression on mental power as he had expected.
Glade said in Xiao Chen's mind: "The materials of that magic suppression array are expensive and need to be constantly replenished during use. It was originally used to protect those nobles from assassination. Who would use such an expensive thing in a dungeon? As long as everyone is sealed, these people will lose their magic and fighting spirit power. There is no need to spend so much effort."
"I remember that in the slave camp, the slave traders used debilitating potions. Why are they using seals here?" Xiao Chen asked.
Glade replied, "Because this kind of seal will damage a person's realm and strength over time, especially the mental strength will be greatly damaged. Those slaves are to be sold for a good price. How could the slave traders use such means to reduce the value of their goods? But prisoners are another matter. Maybe this kind of damage to strength is intentional by the royal family, just to weaken the strength of those annoying guys."
"There is another magic circle here, I can feel it." Xiao Chen said.
Glade said, "That's a magic circle for detecting invisibility. For mages like us, if there's no magic circle for detecting invisibility, it would be too easy to sneak in."
Bivero pulled the cart through the middle of the cell and asked the prisoners to push the chamber pots in their rooms out from under the fence. He and Xiao Chen dumped the contents into the big bucket of the cart one by one, and then stuffed the chamber pots back in. Most prisoners would cooperate in order to make their cells smell better, but some prisoners ignored them, so Bivero ignored them. After walking through the first floor of cells, Xiao Chen found that the prisoners here were all small figures, and there were few even mid-level mages, and there were even many ordinary prisoners mixed in.
"If the person you want to see is a powerful wizard, he will not be locked up here. The more important and dangerous the prisoner is, the higher up he will be locked up. This way, if anything happens, it will be easier for those guarding the gate to take care of him." Bivero said to him.
They returned the three large barrels on the first floor to the ox cart, replaced them with a few new barrels, and went down a ramp to the second floor.
As he said, the cells on the second floor were bigger and stronger than those on the first floor. There were also many more guards patrolling back and forth. Xiao Chen could see that the prisoners here were much stronger. Xiao Chen even found several well-known high-level mages were also imprisoned on this floor. However, he did not act rashly. Before he had observed the entire situation, he still had to stay hidden and low-key. He said nothing and followed Bivi obediently.
After walking through the second floor, even Biwiro looked at him with admiration, "You are much more reliable than the people I brought before. With this gesture and this posture, others really can't tell that you are a guy who wants to sneak in."
"There's no one I'm looking for on this floor." Xiao Chen said in a low voice.
"Incredible." Bivero looked him over for a few seconds. "All of those people above are incredible figures. It seems that you are really extraordinary, my friend."
"I've said it before, he is a master." Xiao Chen said.
"Hey, I don't understand what you are saying. Anyway, let's go to the next level." Bivero shook his head.
As soon as Xiao Chen arrived at the third floor of the dungeon, he found that the biggest difference between here and the lower floors was that there was no lingering stench in the dungeon. There were already some furniture in the cells here, at least beds, tables and chairs, and some rooms even had bookshelves and other things, which must have been prepared for those really big shots.
The toilet in this room had been taken out by the jailer in advance and placed next to the cell. All Bivero and Xiao Chen had to do was empty it and put it back in place.
But here, Xiao Chen finally found the person he was looking for, Master Kona.
When Xiao Chen arrived in front of Master Kona's cell, he was sitting cross-legged in meditation. With the magic seal on his body, meditation was very difficult and inefficient. But Kona sat there, meditating with his mental strength, which was not even as good as that of a magic apprentice.
Xiao Chen gestured to Bivero, then pointed at Master Kona in the room. Bivero responded to his gesture, humming a tune as he walked to the side, trying to attract the attention of the guards around him.
Xiao Chen quickly used a soul bridge to connect to Master Kona's consciousness.
Then he sent him a message: "Master Kona, I am Xiao Chen. I sneaked in to save you."
Master Kona's eyes suddenly opened and he saw Xiao Chen standing outside the fence.
"You actually returned to the capital? With you here, our chances of escaping are better. But the guards here are not easy to deal with. How many people did you bring with you?"
"There are four of us in total, including me." Xiao Chen said, "I don't know how powerful the guards upstairs are, but the ones I've seen on the lower three floors, as long as they can get past and remove your seal, it won't take much effort to deal with them."
"The magic seal is very difficult to remove. Even for an expert to do it, it will take time." Master Kona said.
Xiao Chen said: "I plan to restore the strength of some people first, and the others just need to follow and escape. However, I don't know who is better at breaking these things? I have a powerful dispelling scroll, which should be able to directly dispel a forbidden magic seal. I need him to help me remove more seals after he wakes up."
"Master Gordon has some research in this area. Although it is not the best, it should be able to help you. He lives in the cell opposite." Master Cona said.
After Xiao Chen contacted Master Gordon, he did not take action immediately. It was not the right time yet. He needed to solve the problem in Bivero first.
"Are you done?" asked Viverro.
"That's it, let's go." Xiao Chen said.
Bivero heaved a sigh of relief. At least this man didn't cause any trouble in prison. When he and Xiao Chen brought the last truckload of barrels to the door of the first floor, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and hid in the shadow of a stone, and a projection of himself appeared in front of him. This was a new use of projection that Xiao Chen had recently figured out. He used a little of his distraction to control the projected self. This Xiao Chen was no different from him. He turned around and stepped out of the shadow and caught up with Bivero. The projection swaggered out of the gate in front of the guards, helped Bivero load the truck, and left the dungeon.
"At least nothing went wrong!" Bivero said to Xiao Chen in the car.
However, Xiao Chen next to him did not answer. He smiled at him and disappeared. Bivero was so frightened that he almost fell off the car. He looked around in panic and saw that there was no one around. He hurriedly whipped the old cow and left here as quickly as possible.
