"Let's put aside the process of starting the search after conviction and imprisonment... Judging from the clues we have so far, I have every reason to suspect that some people in the City Guard hope that Peggy will shut up immediately."
After speaking, Wayne looked around.
"As a prisoner with similar charges, I think his detention place should not be far from here, right?" he asked. "Adjutant Dennis, how about you take me along and take a look?"
Dennis stood there with a stiff expression for a moment.
But in the end he still didn't give in. "Lord Bulwer has not given permission, so I cannot agree to your request..."
"Oh? Isn't he actually being held in an ordinary cell like this?"
Wayne asked Boris again: "Have you heard anything about Peggy since you came here?"
Boris, who was a little confused, shook his head violently.
"The guards rarely talk openly about the conditions of other prisoners. I only accidentally heard that a group of prisoners sentenced to death will be executed today. I didn't know anything else."
"Master Wayne!" the adjutant said in a very dissatisfied tone, "You are here in the name of questioning Boris, please don't make matters worse!"
Tsk, the name is the name, the reality is the reality!
Wayne was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking, and he didn't care whether the adjutant had any objections.
That's right, he was relying on the fact that since he was already standing here, it was almost impossible for the guards to use force on him before receiving orders from their superiors.
The time it takes Bulwer to react is his precious exploration period.
"Having said that, please don't forget that at the beginning, I only represented a third party, Qingxi Academy, and came to investigate whether the City Guards had mishandled the situation." Wayne said with a cold face, "Adjutant Dennis will do everything possible to stop him." Am I trying to show that you are also a deep participant without being self-proclaimed?"
"What..." Dennis was stunned.
Wayne turned a blind eye and said sternly: "Take me now to see where Peggy is being held and where the crime occurred. Otherwise, I will have to go back and report that the investigation cannot be carried out due to the obstruction of City Guard Adjutant Dennis."
Under his implicitly threatening sight, Dennis's psychological pressure increased dramatically.
Qingxi Academy has almost a monopoly on all the talents at the top of the kingdom. Magicians who are rare and rare in the outside world are like cabbage in that academy... offending such a huge force, like Lord Bulwer It's okay to have His Majesty's full support behind them, but if they want to teach a helpless little person like themselves a lesson, I'm afraid they won't even be able to spend a single finger of effort.
The more he thought about it, the more gloomy his future became, and large beads of sweat broke out on Dennis's forehead.
Seeing that he was almost frightened, Wayne's voice softened slightly.
"Is it because of Lord Bulwer's order that we can't be accommodating?" He chuckled, "As long as we don't say anything, how will Lord Bulwer know?"
Boris looked at the two people who were at war with each other just now and swallowed.
"I-I definitely won't tell anyone!"
He immediately swore, lest he be considered a threat to leak the secret.
His thoughts were interrupted by Boris's voice. Dennis took a deep breath and suddenly said: "It is said that prisoners who are about to be sentenced to death will be imprisoned in the deepest part of the second underground floor. I don't know if it is true."
Hearing these words, Boris, who was confused, showed a puzzled expression.
Wayne's expression didn't change much.
"Maybe it's because I ate some unhygienic food last night and my stomach hurts..." He suddenly made a 180-degree turn and changed the topic in a completely unrelated direction. "Sorry! Master Wayne, please wait here for a moment. I'll go to the toilet and come back."
I have to say Dennis' acting is terrible.
However, this does not affect the overall situation.
Watching his back running away quickly, Wayne looked back thoughtfully at Boris across the wall.
Boris seemed to understand something, and quickly retracted into the corner and squatted down: "——I don't know anything!"
With a silent smile, Wayne quietly left the door of the cell.
…
Although the defense force in this prison is tight, it is still manageable for Wayne.
He could probably understand why Adjutant Dennis would provide key information so straightforwardly, and then actively avoid it, giving him an opportunity to act alone.
Maybe people didn't think he could successfully infiltrate.
As long as he left the scene beforehand, Dennis successfully avoided a direct conflict with himself. As for being intercepted by any group of guards on the way, it was a problem of Wayne wandering around, rather than his intentional obstruction.
But he underestimated Wayne's superb infiltration skills.
Classmate Wayne, who is experienced and highly skilled, had no trouble bypassing the few guards stationed at key points.
Evading the detection of the guards, Wayne secretly released his magic power for detection while groping for the location given by Dennis. The further you go toward the cells on the inside of the passage, the fewer people are detained nearby.
When we reached the second underground floor, we could hardly hear any noise.
After slightly identifying the direction, Wayne walked towards the darker end.
This seems to be what Dennis called "the deepest part of the second underground floor", but strangely, there is only one person being held alone here. Moreover, he is still an ordinary person who does not know magic.
Wayne walked into the cell door without making any sound.
The original door lock was in a damaged state, but later someone took a chain and wrapped it around the original place several times.
He did not shy away from anything and lifted the chain a little, revealing the neatly broken gap.
This does not seem to be a shape that can be created by human power alone...
When the chain was touched, it made a crisp and harsh sound in the exceptionally quiet environment.
Hearing the noise, the man huddled up in the cell suddenly sat up.
It could be seen that he had not cleaned up his personal hygiene for a long time, and his appearance was very sloppy, except for his unusually bright eyes.
Wayne met his eyes, and neither of them spoke for a moment.
There was a moment of silence, and finally it was Wayne who broke the calm first.
"Who broke the lock here?" he asked.
The sloppy man stared at Wayne's face: "Are you... the big shot who can completely change my destiny?"
After hearing this very familiar words, a question mark slowly appeared on Wayne's forehead.
He couldn't think of how to answer so as not to look ridiculous.
"Sorry, I don't have any contract to sign with you, nor am I a Master who summons heroic spirits." He couldn't help but complain.
