Lin Ge followed Kani and went down the spiral stone steps. The further down, the colder the temperature in the air became.
There seemed to be no change in the corner, and gusts of cold wind continued to surge up, mixed with occasional subtle screams.
Lanya, who wasn't very scared at first, came close to him at this time. She tightly grasped his sleeves with her little hands. She stepped on the air several times and hit her head on Linger's shoulder.
"Who are the people in the prison below?" Lin Ge suddenly asked.
"Of course he is the one who made mistakes." Carney replied, "Humans not only make mistakes when they are alive, but they also make mistakes when they become undead after death. Of course, making mistakes is not a unique trait of humans. Demons sometimes do it too, so here Those imprisoned include both undead and a small number of demons.”
Lin Ge nodded. It seemed that there were rules in the underground world.
"Who is responsible for the arrest?"
"Lord Elvy has a group of headless knights under his command, responsible for patrolling and maintaining order in the territory."
Finally reaching the bottom, the entrance to the prison was a narrow black iron door with twelve vertical slits.
The cold and moist air squeezed through the gaps, making a scream-like sound.
What Lin Ge heard on the stairs before was probably the sound coming from the crack in the door.
When Lanya saw the door, she immediately shrank behind Linger. Lin Ge reached out and patted her head to express comfort.
Kani stepped forward and knocked on the door, knocking three times with her white finger bones. The crisp sound echoed in the closed space and spread far.
Soon, the sound of iron chains being dragged was heard from behind the door. When the sound came close to the door, there was a crash, and the small iron door rose like the blade of a guillotine and was embedded in the wall.
The unknown object that appeared behind the door almost made Lanya scream in surprise.
If I had to describe it, it would probably be a girl whose body is stuck in a circular iron cage.
Ringer was not sure if it was the same one, because seven hands and eight legs stretched out from the narrow gap between the iron cages. They were all wearing dark shackles on their wrists, dragging a broken chain.
There is only one head, but the face is very beautiful, with fair skin, thin eyebrows, small mouth and big eyes. The long black hair hangs down into the black mist in the cage, blending into it.
The details of the torso shrouded in black fog could not be clearly seen, but the bloated shape could barely be made out.
"This is the prison gatekeeper, Iron Cage Kaiji. She will take you to see the warden lady."
The girl in the cage smiled sweetly, looking at Ringer with her big black eyes, a hint of excitement seemed to flash in her eyes.
"You are the Tongue Demon, you are more handsome than I imagined."
The hands and feet outside the iron cage danced, and the iron chains clashed and jingled.
"The warden has received orders from Sir Elvy and is waiting for you. Please come with me."
If you just look at her smile and listen to her voice, she looks like the energetic girl next door. She is beautiful and has a sweet voice, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.
At this time, Lanya suddenly said: "Kani won't go in? Then I won't go in either. I, I'd better go up with you."
She originally came here for Kani, and was not interested in the work that Elvi entrusted to Ringer. Seeing that Kani wouldn't go in, she didn't want to go in either.
What's more, it's eerie and scary inside.
"Okay, Kani, just take her around the castle." Linge said, "I'll go up and find you after I finish my work."
"Okay, Lord Ringer."
Kani lifted the hem of her skirt, gave a slight salute to Linger, and then took Lanya back to the upward staircase.
In front of the prison door, only Linge and the girl in the energy cage were left.
"Please, Lord Tongue Demon." Kaiji smiled, and the three beautiful hands on the right side of the iron cage made an inviting gesture together.
Lin Ge took steps and walked into the small iron gate, flashing the magic horn on his head.
The iron door was not high, so he had to lower his head to walk in, otherwise the corners would touch the door. He suddenly remembered the portrait of the previous demon king. If that guy came here, he would probably have to crawl in.
Kaiji, who was following him, saw the dark and shiny magic horns above his head, a trace of fear and hesitation flashed across his face, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to follow Lady Tracy's instructions.
She didn't know whether this man was powerful or not, but she knew Lady Tracy's methods very well.
This man is just an outsider, but she has to continue working here. As long as she thinks of the consequences of disobeying Lord Tracy's orders, her soul can't help but tremble.
There is no choice but to do it.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Ge felt a coldness mixed with the smell of decay rushing towards his face, corroding his body.
Ahead is a wide passage of more than ten meters, with dark demon statues standing on both sides.
Walking through the passage, outside is a broad hall filled with gray fog.
Ringer's sight passed through the thin gray fog and saw three other passages around the hall. Above the passages were layers of cages. The upper floors were hidden in the fog, and only hazy green fires could be seen.
The higher he went, the thicker the gray fog became. Even if his eyes were given night vision by Nilu, he couldn't see the ceiling.
He could only tell that there were about seven levels of cages by looking at the green torches on each level.
Kaiji walked past Ringer and pointed to the passage directly ahead with one hand.
"Ms. Tracy's office is over there, please follow me."
Kaiji moved his eight beautiful legs, took small steps, and crawled towards the passage directly ahead.
Lin Ge withdrew his gaze and followed her.
"Tracy? Is that Ms. Warden's name?"
"Ah, yes. But when you see Lady Tracy later, don't tell her that I called her by her first name, otherwise she will definitely punish me."
"Okay, I won't tell her." Ringer smiled.
"thank you."
Kaiji was thinking in his mind that this tongue demon seemed to be as good a talker as he looked on the outside. That being the case, there's nothing to be afraid of.
At the same time, in the fog directly above where the two people were standing, a huge shadow slowly emerged and fell silently.
It was a big spider covered with long black hair, and its green eyes were like two soul-inducing lamps, staring at Ringer's back.
At this time, Kaiji had already walked into the passage, and Linger was still a few steps away. When he was about to walk into the passage, he suddenly felt wary in his heart. When he turned around, he saw a hemp rope-like spider silk in front of him, accurately wrapping around him. on the neck.
He quickly grabbed the spider silk with his hands and pulled hard towards himself to prevent his neck from being torn off by the other party.
The spider silk wrapped around the neck was tough and slimy, and had a pungent smell.
The threads contracted, and his body was pulled into the upper mist.
Kaiji stepped back from the passage, taking small steps with eight legs, turning the iron cage 180 degrees. She raised her face inside and shouted into the fog:
"Lord Tongue Demon, are you okay?"
What she didn't expect was that a response came quickly from the mist.
"Oh, it's okay, please wait a moment, I'll be down soon."
A very calm sounding voice.
Kaiji couldn't help showing a look of astonishment. Could it be that he surrendered to Zhigu instantly?
