Chapter 12 Water Prison

A bodyguard kicked open the door heavily. With a bang, several guards with long swords and wooden shields flew in. They are like robbers, kicking away the tables and chairs that get in the way and knocking over the closet. The cup and porcelain bottle were broken into pieces. They occupied the living room and stared at the Ainblo people who were having breakfast.

The captain of the bodyguard followed him and entered. It seems that he has been specially dressed. Wearing a thin chain armor in brass color, wearing a sky blue embroidered waterfall robe, and a black cloak on his shoulder. Three bright peacock tail feathers are inserted in the sharp corners of the steel monster helmet. The huge axe was held in his hand with one hand, and the sharp axe blade reflected the sunlight and the cold light overflowed.

"You have been arrested, sir." He said irrefutablely, "And this lady." He looked at the female mage.

Red pigeon Eugene can't calm down first. He pushed the plate straight away and stood up. Mr. Captain," he asked angrily, "you need real evidence to arrest others. Why do you arrest them? We are envoys, not street thieves. We have the right to know.

The captain of the guard didn't raise his eyes. He didn't say a word, just looked at the alchemist.

Today's breakfast for guests from afar is fish soup and grilled oysters, with honey bread and caviar. The room exudes a strong aroma. The alchemist raised his right hand and compared the softer bread to his hand. Can we finish eating it?" He said, "I'm afraid this will be the last hearty breakfast."

The captain of the bodyguard was silent for a while. He waved his hand and stepped back around their guards. Please do it as soon as possible." He said.

"Captain, you can come too." He invited.

The captain of the bodyguard did not say a word or move, just like a sculpture.

There was silence on the table. They nibbled bread and secretly exchanged eyes with each other. Everyone's eyes are full of confusion and uneasiness, and worries are all over everyone's face. Li Ou pretended to be calm on the surface, but there was a huge wave in his heart. This is inconsistent with their script, and even completely deviates from the direction, and the plot has been completely changed. What on earth happened?

Even if you procrastinate again, only half of the bread in your hand will soon be swallowed into your stomach. Let's go." The captain of the guard urged. Leo." Lu Yuewu shouted worriedly. Although Miss Bachelor didn't say anything, her eyes still surged uneasily.

Li Ou stood up and squeezed out a smiling face to her, "It's okay, don't worry." He reached out and grabbed the female mage. Let's go. Don't let Mr. Captain wait. As Rosie hummed, she took off the dagger and the leather bag hanging around her waist, and then went out of the door under the left and right escort of the bodyguard.

"What did we do?" While going to the prison, Leo asked the captain of the bodyguard. Although the guards came out of their sheath, they still knew the etiquette and did not push them, shout and scold them, or add their swords all the way.

The captain of the guard was silent for a long time before he said dryly, "To be honest, I don't know."

This is a lie. Except for a few hours when the prince slept peacefully, he always accompanied the prince. But he was not stupid enough to expose the other party. Is it because of magic?" Oh." He has nothing to say. The female mage beside him also always hangs her head, with her long red hair tied into a ponytail and restless on her shoulders, but he can feel the resentment accumulated by the other party.

With a bang, the heavy iron door closed tightly behind them.

It was dark in front of me, wet and cold. Only a few braziers and a few torches are burning brightly and emitting warmth. Two bodyguards stopped and guarded the door. Then a bodyguard suddenly came forward and grabbed their arms rudely. Their five fingers were like crab tongs, and the pain made the female mage couldn't help cursing, but in exchange for more rough treatment.

"Is this your means?" Li Ou sarcastically, "Just like a mouse, he only dares to do things in secret."

"To treat you witchcrafts, you five horses should be dismembered and burned alive." A bodyguard said hatefully, "In my opinion, His Royal Highness is too tolerant of you!"

"Shut up!" The captain of the guard stopped them, "Let them go. They were still our guests before they were sentenced."

"Guest of bullshit!" Another bodyguard spat fiercely. After pinching hard, he let go of his hand under the stern eyes of the captain of the bodyguard. It's just a group of devils in sheep's clothing. He cursed.

Luo Xi rubbed her painful arm and stared back at the bodyguard fiercely.

"What are you looking at!"

"I'm thinking about how to cut off your head."

The bodyguard subconsciously shrank his neck, and then he suddenly straightened his chest and sneered, "Witch, don't worry, I will definitely live longer than you. You don't have this chance at all."

Rosie hummed and stopped talking.

A jailer came to them with a torch. He was dark all over and lacked an eye. The one-eyed man stayed on the alchemist and the female mage for a long time. Is that them?" His broken voice makes people tremble.

The captain of the bodyguard nodded.

"Poor white devil." The jailer smiled and mocked, "People say that the devil comes from the hell of flames. Now, it's just that you are unlucky and come to the water city. I think the flame wrapped all over my body has to be extinguished.

What does he mean? Before Li Ou could think, he was pushed hard by the bodyguard behind him. He looked back, and several guards behind him smiled grimly and drew sharp swords at him. Even if they die here accidentally, these guards will not be punished. There are too many reasonable excuses available in prison. He forced patience and shook his head at Rosie. He chose to be silent and quickly stepped forward to follow the pace of the jailer.

The jailer led the way in front of him and passed several empty cells. Li Ou saw a big bed covered with dried seaweed, a bedside table, several books, a chess piece and a lute in the cell. As far as the treatment of the cell is concerned, it is luxurious. But they obviously can't enjoy such courtesy. Their cell is not here.

The downstair of the word "zhi" seems to have no end.

The darkness is getting thicker and thicker, and the torch seems to be useless. The wet road made the soles of their feet slip, and they almost fell into the thick ink-like darkness several times. Everyone didn't say a word, and no one reached out to help them, watching their good show behind them, expecting them to fall into the abyss. Leo had to help each other with Rosie and grope little by little in the dark.

Some gravel rolled down the stairs, rattling, and finally bounced high, splashing with water.

The wet cold in the dungeon made the female mage shiver. She grabbed Leo's arm in the dark, put her mouth close to his ear, and whispered uneasily, "Are they trying to drown us?"

That's too troublesome. If you guess correctly, the water prison is below.

His guess is completely correct, but unfortunately there is no reward.

The slate road under my feet was lost by the sea, and the cold sea water wet the shoes and socks. The jailer inserted the torch on a rusty bracket and opened a mossy prison door. "Please come in, sir and miss." His smile gloated, "No one has visited here for a long time. With you here, the water house must be covered with glory. Enjoy the sweet time of being alone.

"Go in." The captain of the guard said without any emotion behind them.

Without waiting for them to take action, the impatient bodyguards laughed and pushed hard, and they fell into the waist-deep pool. They choked a mouthful of seawater and got soaked all over.

Rosie scolded loudly, but the prison door was closed again. The guards through the door were more unscrupulous and swearing one after another. She couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand high, and the flame beating between her fingers reflected the anger on her face.

"Mr. Alchemist, it's better to control Miss Mage." The captain of the guard said, "Don't forget your other companions."

"Fuck you!" Rosie angrily shot the flame into the water, and the splash suddenly burst, and the splashed drops passed through the prison door and splashed the bodyguard's face.

He was unmoved.

"How long are you going to lock us up?" Leo stood in the water prison and looked up at him.

"You have to ask Your Highness."

He always refused to speak. I want to meet His Royal Highness."

"When he wants to see you, he will naturally see you." The captain of the bodyguard finally said that he turned around and led his men away. I hope you have a good stay here." The jailer said politely. Then the footsteps faded away until they disappeared.

"What the hell is this?" Rosie shouted in the dark.

There is no one else but them in the empty prison. No one can answer her question. Leo doesn't know how to answer. Overnight, they changed from guests to prisoners. What on earth did they do? He doesn't know. There is no clue.

Rosie, who wanted to use spells several times to blow up the prison door, gradually calmed down after venting. She stood in the water, and the cold invaded her body. Her arms hugged tightly and trembled.

"Is it because of yesterday's spell?" She asked uncertainly.

Their eyes have gradually adapted to the darkness. In fact, the water prison is not completely dark. There are fluorescent fungi on the slippery wall, and tiny creatures floating in the water, emitting a little light. But it was enough that he could see the self-doubt and denial on the female mage's face. She was not confident, and Leo realized that she was blaming herself.

Since he met Rosie, it is the first time that Leo has seen her so weak. She always believed in her magic, but now, how did she suddenly become like this?

"Is it because my spell went wrong?" She asked again, "Did I fail again?" Did I make a mistake again?" She buried her face in her palm and kept muttering. In the end, her voice was almost inaudible.

"Rosie, Rosie?" He shouted a few times, but she never responded. Shelly·Rosie!” He raised the volume.

"What?" She finally raised her eyes and looked at him.

But she didn't refute his calling as usual. Her eyes were full of confusion and pain at this time, completely blank.

Li Ou suddenly felt a burst of heartache. He walked to the female mage, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "You did nothing wrong. I promise it's not because of you."

"What's the use of your guarantee?" She buried her head in Leo's neck and retorted in a low voice.

"You know better than I do. Every step you do is perfect.

"I...I can't be sure." She said unconfidently.

"I can see clearly, Yuewu can see clearly, and so is Miss Bachelor and the magic consultant." He comforted her softly, and the cold made him hold her tightly. Isn't the effect also obvious? Wolf dogs can speak human language, which is a great achievement. It is comparable to the god of creation.

She couldn't help laughing. But her smile quickly restrained, "It's not this, what is that?"

"Maybe it was the appointment time specially arranged for us by the prince." He is joking.

Her voice suddenly became soft, "Really?"

It's not like her at all. Li Ou smiled awkwardly and secretly regretted the unobstructed mouth just now. Fortunately, they hugged and couldn't see each other's faces. Yes, yes." He had to answer this.

"Liou." After a while of silence, she suddenly opened her mouth and quietly complained, "It seems that there has never been a good time with you. This is not the first time. Now, it's even impossible to pass the time with sleep.

"You never said to leave." Without their company, it is difficult to say whether he can get to this day. Maybe it turned into a pile of dead bones like those lonely souls in the ruins.

"'You...you...'" She muttered, "Oh, I... and Moon Dance... Greedy... Don't move!" She hugged Leo and said, "Let me rely on it. I'm tired and let me rest for a while. If you go back later, you can't do this."
