Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 724: Mage Prison

Views:

The Mage Prison in Riverbend New City, formally known as the Prison for Superpowers, is a fortress located in the suburbs of Riverbend New City. It is built in a valley and is a dome-shaped building surrounded by high walls. The stone used to build it has strong magic-suppressing properties, and coupled with various magic arrays and materials from the outside to the inside, its ability to suppress magic and fighting spirit is even stronger than that of the Royal Palace of Seville.

The latest magic seal on the continent was used here, which not only prevented the release of mental power from the body, but also blocked the effects of all magic words. In other words, not only could magicians not cast magic here, but even scrolls and magic devices were ineffective.

Therefore, people imprisoned here do not need to install any devices or seals on their bodies. The power of the entire prison can suppress them so that they cannot use any magic power.

Xiao Chen had been away from home for a long time and had only heard about this prison. It was only when he was here that he realized that the committee had spent so much effort and money to build such a prison. He vaguely felt the fear of those people, the fear of the committee leaders who did not master magic and fighting spirit towards the powerful mages and warriors.

In this prison, the guards were also unable to use magic, so the guards here were just ordinary warriors with strong bodies, and the weapons they held were swords and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.

Only outside the prison, where magic can still be felt, are there some mages and fighting warriors guarding it.

After Xiao Chen entered the prison yard, he found that his mental power was suppressed within his body surface. For a person who was used to feeling the world with mental power, this was like blinding his eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.

Xiao Chen tried to use his powerful mental power to break through, but failed. He even failed to project the seawater in the meditation world. But Xiao Chen still had a feeling that if he could break through to the realm of a great magician, perhaps this magic-suppressing power would not be able to suppress his mental power to this extent.

At present, here he can only rely on the strange power in his body. This is a secret to many people, including Jiang Yitian, who certainly does not know how terrible the energy in his body is. Only a few people closest to Xiao Chen know how terrifying his strength is. Xiao Chen, who has learned a lot of fighting skills from Roger, is actually confident that he can use this strength to defeat the group of people behind him.

Jiang Yitian followed seven or eight soldiers to escort Xiao Chen and Tang Feng into the cell. His own mental strength was also suppressed, and he completely lost the ability to cast magic. It was not known whether it was because he had lost his ability or because he had achieved his goal, but he spoke more politely than before.

“I’m sorry, the two of you were taken back to Hewan New City as suspects. According to the new regulations, you must be detained in this prison.

There is nothing to worry about in life. You can stay here for a while while we investigate."

Tang Feng said: "Jiang Yitian, you don't have any decisive evidence at all. It's just a waste of time to keep us here."

"Maybe, so what. You can just wait to be proven innocent and then be released." Jiang Yitian walked to the front and pointed at two large cells. "This is your new home. Except for the lack of freedom, the conditions are quite good."

Xiao Chen looked over and saw that the room actually had one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and all the furniture, such as a bed, a cabinet, a desk, and a bookshelf. It was even more luxurious than the dormitory in Hewan New City before. Except for the iron railing on one side, which made the privacy very poor, it was really as Jiang Yitian said.

The guard opened the iron gate and Jiang Yitian said, "Please come in."

Xiao Chen and Tang Feng each walked into their own cells. After the door was locked again, Jiang Yitian smiled and said, "It is said that there is a school of magic that practices by forcibly using magic in an environment full of magic suppression power. You can also try it here. Perhaps this experience will be a rare training opportunity for the two of you."

Xiao Chen asked: "Do you know what you look like now?"

"What?"

Xiao Chen said, "It's just like the villain in the movie who talks too much and is killed by the protagonist. Just do what you should do. I told you I'm waiting to see your performance."

"Do you think you are the protagonist?" Jiang Yitian laughed, "No matter if you were before, you are definitely not now."

————————

After Jiang Yitian left the cell, the guards also left the area, leaving only Xiao Chen and Tang Feng in two opposite cells.

Tang Feng walked around the room a few times and said, "I think they are still watching us secretly and recording what we say. You must not be careless."

Xiao Chen dragged a chair and sat opposite Tang Feng: "Didn't you notice? They don't care about evidence or anything like that. In the final analysis, they just want to cram us in here and get us out of the game temporarily. This is a power struggle, not a criminal case.

This time, I said something about Zhang Hong that gave him an opportunity, but even if there was no Zhang Hong incident, he had already planned to make trouble for me through Roger's identity. I think for him, targeting me is more important than investigating the facts. This time the traitor was found and I was arrested, which in his opinion is a perfect ending. "

Tang Feng said, "I still don't understand why you agreed to come with him. We obviously have enough reasons to fight him, and Minister Peng will definitely support us. As long as you refuse to acknowledge his evidence in Suero, with Jiang Yitian's weight, it is impossible for him to take you away from Wang Jiyuan by force."

Xiao Chen sighed and said, "I don't like breaking the system, because once the system is broken frequently, it loses its seriousness and effectiveness. This time I am not giving face to Jiang Yitian. I am respecting the system established by the committee and the rules of this system. If the rules let me come back, I will come back. If the rules let me go to the Mage Prison, I will go in. I hope that the rules will not let me down this time, otherwise..."

"You are still too idealistic." Tang Feng sighed.

Behind a wall not far from the two people's cells, Jiang Yitian was listening to their conversation. This time he was using electronic equipment left behind by the school.

"After all, you are still a pedantic fool. Then you just wait here until the end of time." When this thought flashed through Jiang Yitian's mind, he could not see the expressions of Xiao Chen and Tang Feng.

Just when Xiao Chen said these words, the two of them couldn't help but reveal a hint of teasing in their eyes, just like hunters looking at prey that is about to fall into a trap. (To be continued)
