Chapter 27 Castle Dungeon
The mages shook their heads and said softly: "This time the loss is too great, there is enough food for the king's army for two years!"

"It's more than that! Don't forget that there is food for the horses... hey."

"Did people from the enemy country really do it? There is no magic fluctuation in the warehouse. Who can do it so clean?"

"Yes, it would take half a day to move... How is this possible? How is this possible!"

Several mages walked up the stairs while talking.

Wen Yu was secretly startled, did he really steal so many things?It seems a little unkind to do so... But fortunately, this is a game... and they are just npcs... Wen Yu comforted himself with a guilty conscience.

Seeing so many soldiers standing at the entrance, Wen Yu felt a little scared. He looked in the opposite direction and found that although the lights at the end of the passage were dim, there seemed to be something on the left side at the end of the road.

After looking at the npc soldiers guarding the door of the two warehouses, Wen Yu walked there cautiously.

At the end of the corridor on the left is a thin, narrow staircase leading further down.

Looking at the pitch black darkness below and the waves of cold air coming up.Wen Yu gritted her teeth and walked on cruelly.

There was not a single ray of light here, and bursts of cold air kept gently brushing over Wen Yu's face.Several times almost frightened Wen Yu to turn around and run back.

It was a long, dark corridor again, with iron railings like prison doors on both sides, and the inside was also dark. I don't know if there is anything closed...

Is this a dungeon?While thinking, Wen Yu walked slowly inside.

Inside the dungeon... there shouldn't be any treasure... Wen Yu smiled wryly, and continued walking forward with determination.Although she had already given up most of the time and wanted to go back, she still had a little reconciliation in her heart before reaching the end.

Gently, slowly, finally, she came to the end of the dungeon. What was in front of her was not a wall, but an iron railing. It seemed that this was also a prison cell.

"Who?" A deep voice came from the cell door in front of her. Hearing this voice, Wen Yu could no longer lift her legs, and cold sweat kept breaking out from her body.

The word "ghost" appeared in her mind, and it kept turning around her head.

"Aren't you a soldier here? Who are you?" The voice sounded again.

When Wen Yu heard this sentence, she had already confirmed that the voice was indeed asking herself.

"You... who are you..." Wen Yu said in a low voice. Since he has been discovered, he should have a few words with this person. Anyway, since he can discover himself, he can prove that his invisibility cloak Doesn't work for this person.

"Me? Hehehehe, I'm not human..." the voice said sadly.

"Not human?" Could it be a ghost?Of course, Wen Yu didn't dare to say the latter sentence.

"Can you see me?" Wen Yu asked again, if this person is a ghost, then it's not surprising that he can see himself, right?

"See? I have been blind for a long time. I was blind before I came to this place where I can't see my fingers." The voice sighed longly.

"Blind? No wonder..." It turns out that this npc can't see people. It seems that the settings in the game are very similar to reality. People with bad eyes have very good ears.

"No wonder? Ah... I see, you sneaked in. Hehe, are you a thief who can hide? No, the thief's footsteps are much lighter than yours."

Hearing this person commenting on him like this, Wen Yu blushed and cursed this person inwardly.

"Don't worry, I'm just a helpless and dying man. I haven't spoken to anyone in years. I won't call the guards—of course, even if I scream loudly. Someone will come, they hope that I will die soon." There was a deep sadness in the voice.

"I... I was just someone who sneaked in. I didn't plan to come in, but because the patrolling guards attacked me, I came in to take a look. Why are you locked up here?" Wen Yu asked.

"The king of this kingdom hates me, so he locked me up here...Hey..." There was another long sigh.

Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Wen Yu said, "I want to leave here...the corridor above is blocked by them, do you know if there is another exit here?"

"Exit? Hehehe, little girl, you are so interesting. If there was an exit, would I still stay here obediently? Hahahaha." The voice laughed, making Wen Yu blush again.

Wen Yu thought: You are an NPC. Of course I have to ask you. Who knows if you stayed here intentionally even though you knew there was an exit?
"Hey—the guards in this royal city are very strict. If you can come in, it means that you have this ability, or you are very lucky... I, I want to ask you to do me a favor..." The voice hesitated.

Task?This is not bad, the mission rewards received in such an inaccessible place should be very good, right?Wen Yu thought for a while and said, "Just tell me if you need my help. Although my strength is weak, I might be able to help you."

"It's like this... I, I am actually the old king of this kingdom. I have a son and a daughter. I have loved them very much since they were born. But, on my 40th birthday, I accidentally I found out that my queen...has been secretly betraying me and having private meetings with other men!
I held back my anger and overheard the conversation between that shameless woman and his lover. It turned out that she and that man gave birth to the prince!Fortunately, my daughter is indeed my own. This is the only comfort left for me...

At that time, I was very angry, rushed out and killed the man, and wanted to execute the queen.However, what I didn't expect was that the prince knew about it a long time ago~ Before I put the queen into the dungeon for execution, he colluded with the chief guard, stabbed my eyes blind, and locked me in this dungeon.

Since I was imprisoned here, perhaps they were afraid that my affairs would be known to others, so this dungeon has never held other prisoners. In the past ten years, I have not heard the voices of other people. They didn't even give me food and wanted to starve me to death.If it weren't for the edible moss growing on the walls, the occasional snails I catch, and the underground water dripping from the walls, I wouldn't have been able to survive this long.They didn't dare to let people know that someone was being held here, so they never sent soldiers to guard it.

I'm blind, so I can't escape, I have been waiting, hoping to hear the news of my only daughter... But, I feel that I am going to die.Fortunately, now God sent you to find this place!Can you help me find my daughter?I just want to know if she is still alive and if she is doing well... People like me have no attachments in this world other than my daughter..." After finishing speaking, the voice let out a long sigh .
