The Black Prison is a prison used by the Wizards Alliance to imprison captured monsters.
Although most monsters will be killed by wizards during the hunting process, there are always some monsters that survive for one reason or another, such as special abilities, special blood, special information they know, or simply just Because fate is great, and so on.
All these living monsters will be imprisoned in the dark prison by the wizards.
Even if some wizards' magic experiments involve the use of living demons, they can only use a separate fully enclosed laboratory in the Black Prison. According to the relevant management regulations of First University's experimental safety, any living monsters are prohibited from appearing in laboratories outside the Black Prison - this is why when a wild monster appeared in the university, it triggered a red alert and eventually led to a series of punishments. and personnel transfers.
But black jails are not nursing homes.
The demon who enters the dark prison cannot wait until the day he dies. And there is an endless stream of demons captured from the outside and put into prison day after day. This caused a huge amount of demon corpses to accumulate in the black prison.
Some corpses have unique blood lines or are in good condition, and can also be recycled by wizards. There are also many corpses that have extremely low recycling value due to factors such as fragmentation, condition, and tastelessness.
"...That ancient tree is the final plan used by the Black Prison to recover the body of the demon." The captain of the Mist looked over the Banshee's shoulder and looked out the window, looking at the endless sea, and his tone became deeper: "Every time After hundreds of years, when the tree has had enough to eat and drink, it will bloom and bear a few fruits. This kind of fruit is not of great use to wizards, but it is of great use to demons, especially high-level demons. Said, but there is a fatal temptation..."
Hearing this, Nikita couldn't help but hold her breath.
This was not the first time she had heard of the ancient tree mentioned by the captain.
During the long history of Daiichi University, countless fantastic and fascinating rumors have been passed down orally from generation to generation of students. Xuanhuangmu is just one of them - Xuanhuangmu is the name of the ancient tree in the Black Prison rumored by students.
It is said that the black wood is extremely old. Sixty years is spring and sixty years is autumn. It takes more than two hundred years to grow a circle of growth rings. The black prison is built on the root system of this ancient tree. within the range.
It is said that Xuanhuang wood eats monsters and is not afraid of being raw or cold. Whether it is a lich, a sea monster, or other strange species, as long as it belongs to the demon, it is the treasure of that ancient tree.
It is said that the blackwood will bloom and bear fruit every year. Like an epiphyllum, the time interval between the flowering and fruiting of yellowwood is very short - of course, this 'extremely short' is calculated based on the time of yellowwood. For wizards, the time between flowering and fruiting of this ancient tree ranges from a few months to the better part of a year.
It is said that the fruit of Xuanhuangmu can help high-level demons advance.
Thinking of this, the banshee's eyes gradually brightened.
The captain of the Mist lowered his eyelids and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The banshee's reaction was not beyond his expectation. For the demons, promoting the evolution of their bloodline and following in the footsteps of their true ancestors are instincts engraved deep in their bloodline.
"Initially, we just planned to gather some like-minded allies, break the black prison, and grab a few fruits from the ancient tree." The captain of the Mist continued: "In this, timing is very, very critical. If an old immortal The guy is still in school, so our plan must be reported to Sir Siren King before it can be realized."
"Fortunately, the old man went out...So, the next step is to know when the ancient tree will bear fruit, which is very important."
Having said this, the captain of the Mist stopped again.
Nikita was stunned, and the hair on her back suddenly exploded - she suddenly realized a terrible situation, that is, the captain needed an insider in the black prison, so he explained so much to her. She knew very well what the Black Prison was. The young banshee didn't think she could survive in such a terrifying place.
But the Captain of the Mist's next words put her at ease again.
"You are not the best choice for internal response," the captain twitched his lips and said, "This can be seen from the beginning of the special plane plan to enter the school."
Nikita swallowed quietly, and her heart that had been beating wildly calmed down a little.
"We, the four demon kings of the sea, alone are not enough to break the black prison. But if we tell those demon kings about this, the final distribution plan of the consequences will be distressing... At this time, a message came from the Dark Parliament. "
"They will send manpower to help us break down First University's perimeter defense."
"The condition is that boy."
The banshee took a breath and looked back at the newspaper in her hand. In the photo, the young face looked a little restrained and nervous under the spotlight. He looked ordinary and not impressive.
Why does the Dark Council want that boy?
The captain of the Mist offered no further explanation.
Instead, he explained to the succubus the purpose of his words: "I tell you these things because you are an excellent key."
key? Nikita pondered the word in her mind, feeling vaguely grasping something.
"You always bring me some new surprises... just like a key, opening doors one after another that hide treasures." The captain of the Mist added calmly: "That ancient tree, this boy ...Although everything seems to have nothing to do with you, your figure will always appear looming in it."
"In divination, this is called 'correlation effect', or it can also be called 'luck'."
“If you want to maximize the effect of the correlation effect, the best solution is to let the correlation person, that is, you, constantly make new choices.”
"Now, I will give you a new choice."
"Disembark as a senior crew member of the Mist. Whether you want to go to a new world, a silent forest, or a dark prison, we will fulfill your wish...or continue to be a cook and stay below the deck of the Mist. "
The logic of the Captain of the Mist seems a bit strange, but in Nikita's view, it is very easy to understand - having dealt with mysticism for many years, wizards or demons will always have enough respect for certain mysterious and mysterious connections.
The captain's idea is nothing more than to use the banshee's choice to provide new parameters for their planned divination work.
"I choose to stay on the ship." Nikita hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and speaking out his choice.
Although she really, really wants to go ashore, she also knows her current capabilities.
The outside world is too dangerous, so it is safer to just be a cook on the ship.
