"Hill, I'll leave the store to you. I left lunch for you. I'll be back before dinner!"
Three hours after sunrise, Le Yuan, who was standing at the door of the store, said to Hill, who was sitting in front of the container holding a book.
"Goodbye, little boss, I will take good care of him. Today's business will be very good." Hill hugged the book to his chest and said an innocent smile like a silly big girl to send Le Yuan away.
On the second day after Le Yuan and Hill came into contact, Le Yuan bought a store in the southern district of the Imperial Capital, renovated it in just one hour, and opened a snack and refreshment restaurant. Comprehensive food house.
In addition to Le Yuan accompanying Hill to familiarize himself with the business in the first three days of opening, in the following days, Hill was like the only owner of the food house. After opening at dawn every day, Le Yuan put all the products on the shelves, while Hill took over Le Yuan's team and started the business during the day. As for Le Yuan, he didn't know where he went during the day, and his whole body looked like It seems to have disappeared.
After coming out of his own shop in the South District, Le Yuan walked through a few streets and transformed into another person as soon as he turned a corner, starting his unfinished work before.
Leaning against the door of an unopened shop, Le Yuan took out the marked map in his hand, scribbled on it with a pen, and then frowned and said: "This speed is not enough. After leaving Xiacheng District, it is still too late." There are a lot of places to check, and the closer you get to the palace, the more stringent the guards are, and the efficiency is too low."
After several days of exploration, Le Yuan explored most places in the lower city of the Imperial Capital. He understood the deployment of some of the Imperial Capital's guard forces in advance, and even highlighted several places where there might be Imperial Gear users. Marked.
The Imperial Palace, the place where the rulers of the empire apparently live, is also the place where the descendants of the first emperor who were assigned to develop the 48 Tei Gear have lived for generations. If there is not even one Tei Gear in the palace, it can only be said that the empire is completely ruined. .
The minister's residence in Shangcheng District, as the minister who held the emperor's hand to command the princes and obtained the absolute majority of power in the empire, if there were not several imperial emissaries serving him, even he himself would have been uneasy for a long time.
In the General's Mansion in the upper city, which is opposed to the minister, the Emperor's Fury of Thunder God [Admelech], which can control thunder and lightning, is worn on the hand of General Bude. This is an Emperor's user who has been investigated. As for the ones under his command, It is unknown whether there are any unused Teigu.
There is also the blackened and twisted guard girl who will master the transformation of the biological dog-type Teigu Warcraft [Hundred-Armed Giant] in the future. Le Yuan just met a few days ago and has not been selected by the Teigu yet. It seems that there is no night attack, and even the empire is unwilling to distribute deterrent weapons like Teigu.
The last place is where Le Yuan is about to explore, the Imperial Capital Prison located in the northern district of the Imperial Capital and close to the outskirts. Here, a piece of imperial equipment kept by the warden has been preserved for generations - the Five-Seeing Omnipotent [Observer]. As an auxiliary Teigu that is first-rate in insight and torture, placed in the hands of the warden of the empire, it not only uses the terrifying insight enhancement to find suspicious aspects of the suspect, but can also break the prisoner's heart through illusions.
"Only ordinary people and ghosts are willing to come to a place like this. The imperial capital is really right to put the prison in a place like this." Hurrying to the outskirts of the prison in the northern district of the imperial capital, Le Yuan looked at the desolate surroundings and stopped at the vast black prison fortress. steps.
It is an empty flat land. Most people will be spotted by the soldiers on the guard tower above the prison gate if they are far away. It is simply impossible to enter the prison quietly.
Being able to do what ordinary people cannot is the source of desire for players like Le Yuan to tirelessly seek stronger power. He relied on the Illusion Body Curse to hide his figure, and then flew into the Imperial Capital Prison, which can be called a military fortress, as if nothing had happened.
"It is truly the capital prison of the capital. There is so much resentment here. Even if someone who has been wronged comes in, they will become a real psychopath if they stay here for a long time." Le Yuan felt it after just a minute or two of entering. This prison is a terrible place.
The Centennial Prison of the Thousand-Year Imperial Capital, although the prison is not repaired as often as the Imperial Capital, it has been rebuilt several times to prevent prisoners from escaping. The most recent reconstruction was more than 300 years ago, and it has been renovated several times since.
This land has been poured with the blood of countless executed prisoners, and countless prisoners have been tortured to death. The resentment here is so strong that even ordinary people can clearly feel it when they come in. Comfortable point.
"Sir Taote, if you give me a few more days of grace, as long as one more day passes, my family will definitely donate the money, please let me go!"
"You bastard, the empire only has officials like you to keep rebelling, you all should die!"
"What's the fuss? One more day is just one more day to live. How can I sleep peacefully in this damn place!"
Just a few minutes after entering the prison, Le Yuan heard shouts and curses one after another. Most of the people in the prison who still had the strength to shout were tall and powerful guys who could suppress other people. In the Imperial Capital Prison, the truth of the law of the jungle is fully demonstrated. Only the strong among them can get better treatment. Those without money and strength have already turned into withered bones in the prison.
Le Yuan, who was wandering around in the prison as if no one was around, suddenly stopped in front of one of the cells. Different from everyone he had encountered before, although the person held in this cell was lifeless and seemed to have given up the desire to survive, the aura exuding from his body proved that he was a rare strong man.
If you were to fight the assassin genius Hill one-on-one, the person who died would most likely be Hill. This does not mean that Hill is weak. Although Hill's physical fitness is much worse than that of the man in front of him, his fighting talent is rare in the world. But the aura of the man in front of him who had experienced hundreds of battles and fought bloody battlefields told Le Yuan that his combat experience was definitely not comparable to Hill's.
"Is this Liwa?"
Le Yuan looked at the man in front of him who was about forty years old, with a mustache and gray hair, and found this person's information from his memory. One of the three beast warriors of Esdeath in the future, he is also the commander of Brad, the owner of the Teigu Demon Haunted [Invasion].
"who?"
The moment Le Yuan stopped, Liwa, who was originally dead, suddenly raised his head and looked at the invisible Le Yuan's position. However, after Le Yuan restrained all his aura for a moment, he looked around doubtfully. After finding no results, he sat on the edge of the stone bed with a decadent look and thought about his thoughts.
Le Yuan was very satisfied with Liwa's performance. Considering his future identity, Le Yuan walked directly through the iron bars and came to his cell.
"Um?"
Levi, who was thinking about what he had experienced in the past, suddenly found that all the shouts and noises around him had disappeared, and there was nothing else around except his own breathing and heartbeat.
He stood up suddenly and wanted to check the cause of all the strange phenomena. Who knew that as soon as he stood up, he felt an invisible force invade his consciousness. He just wanted to raise his spirit to resist, but that force instantly overwhelmed him. The sense of resistance was crushed to pieces.
Looking at Liwa who was completely unconscious, Le Yuan also revealed his figure. The entire cell has been sealed by him, and no sound or influence can be seen from outside the cell.
"Asdeath's future confidant general, let me dedicate your worth to me." Le Yuan pressed his right hand on Liwa's head and began to engrav his will into the depths of his mind little by little. , the power of the Imperius Curse will allow him to complete the transformation of his consciousness bit by bit, and I am afraid that he himself will not realize his own betrayal when they meet again.
Looking at Liwa, who was almost completing the transformation, Le Yuan's mind couldn't help but drift to the Esdeath whom he had never met before.
"Why do I think of Bingshan Yujieyan when I think of that super S girl Esdeath? The two people's personalities are obviously very different. Could it be the extraordinary ice power shown by the two people?"
Silently putting Esdeath on the waiting list for investigation, Le Yuan solved the Rubik's Cube in this room and then walked deeper into the prison.
"Uh - what's wrong with me? The empire is really decayed, where is my way out?" Liwa automatically woke up soon after Le Yuan left, looking at his calloused hands and murmuring to himself Said.
"Please Zank, let me go. I can give you money. I still have a wife and a daughter. I really can't die!" When Le Yuan walked through the long prison and came to an open square. At that moment, such a shout came from my ears.
"Hey, your life and death have nothing to do with me. You should have known what you should do a long time ago? Publicly make a declaration that is unfavorable to Sir Ornest and criticize Mr. Ornest's new measures. How can you do this? Immortal?" Executioner Zanke raised the giant sword in his hand and pointed it at a man kneeling there.
"Damn it, that bastard Ernest raised some bullshit taxes again, so how can we, the lower class people, survive? Only bureaucrats and aristocrats like them can benefit from this, what kind of measure is this! This country is going to die..." Seeing that he was about to die The lifeless prisoner began to let out his last angry curses, but before he could finish his words, his head separated from his neck, and then rolled to the ground aside with a gurgling sound. A large amount of blood poured out from his neck, and the head was missing. The body fell to one side.
Bathed in the blood of the prisoner, an extremely twisted smile appeared on the beheaded Zanke's face.
"It's really thanks to Mr. Ernest's actions that so many people who don't care about life or death have emerged. This kind of pleasure of beheading is really intoxicating. I really look forward to tomorrow's execution!"
After saying the beheading, he carried the giant sword and walked towards the executioner's room on the side.
