Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 54 Spark Prison (Part 2)

If you look down on the entire Spark prison from the air, you can find that the layout of this prison is quite similar to the circle entertainment city in a modern movie. The entire Spark prison is made up of countless rings.

In the center of the prison, which is also the part with the largest area of ​​the prison, it belongs to the detention area, where about 15,000 prisoners are held. More than 40% of them are warriors with extraordinary strength, and there are even a small number of magicians.

Almost all powerful high-level criminals in the entire empire will be sent here to be heavily guarded. In addition to the conventional defensive arrangements, there is also a team of elite knights and some high-level warriors stationed here.

It's just that their task is to guard the prison, and other things will not be dispatched easily.

There is only one intersection to enter and exit the detention area, and the rest of the place is full of iron walls and full of traps.

After leaving the detention area, there is a warning area and a buffer zone.

These two areas are connected blank belts, with only a few guards guarding nearby.

Behind this blank area is another high wall. Behind the high wall is the death zone, extending all the way to the outermost main wall. The entire area is full of various alchemy traps and a large number of guards.

Once a prisoner riots, the warning zone will first sound the alarm, and the buffer zone will become a confrontation zone between the two sides. A large number of knights will flock to this area and drive the prisoners back to prison.

If the prisoner is too strong to resist, the guards will retreat behind the buffer wall and enter the death zone, where they will intercept and kill the prisoner with the help of the four defensive lines arranged by Spark Prison. Since the Spark Prison is located in the area of ​​the Villas Mountains, the defense facilities in the death zone not only have to deal with internal prisoner riots, but also have a special function to deal with armed prison robberies by large-scale external forces.

In addition, the entrances to the areas are not in a straight line.

For example, the entrance to the detention area is on the west, then the entrance to the buffer zone is on the south, and the entrance to the prison is on the east.

This just makes the prisoners want to escape from the passage, and they must go around many long paths in this maze-like prison.

Walking on this maze-like road, Xiu Yi looked very leisurely. He was like a boy-next-door who came here out of curiosity. He always looked at this curious one for a while, and then looked at the other interesting one for a while. I always want to go up and touch it, so I get closer to watch it.

The guard had to remind him again and again: Be careful, Master Dardanelle, you can't go there.

What's wrong?

It's a trap area, and if you enter there, no one can rescue you.

Then what about here?

Oh, here leads to a monster area. Every night, we will release some monsters, and they wander around in a fixed area. These monsters may not be powerful, but they have a very sensitive sense of smell, which is a very good early warning tool.

I see. Huey shrugged.

He pointed to the small door not far away: I guess that's the cafeteria.

The guard was very helpless: No, Master Dardanelle, the cafeteria is on the other side. The place you pointed to leads to the magic tower, and it is also the area for soldiers to enter and exit. Apart from the main entrance of the prison, this is the only small door that can be accessed. It is specially used for internal personnel to enter and exit. Of course, there is no such cumbersome inspection procedure as the main entrance.

It turned out to be like this. Strange, it looks very big here, but why didn't I see the criminal?

You are now in the safe area, Master Dardanelle. Spark Prison is divided into multiple parts: the detention area, the buffer zone, the security zone, the security zone, and the death zone. The outermost line is the death zone. Once any prisoner rushes into the death zone, we will kill him immediately. The security zone is for observation, and there is still a distance from the detention zone. You need to go through the buffer zone and the security zone to get there.

So I can't see the prisoners?

Actually... the guard hesitated: This is not allowed. You know that Spark Prison is not a scenic spot. Although many nobles come to visit here every year due to its reputation, the area behind the buffer zone will not be open to outsiders unless necessary. I cannot take you there unless you have the special consent of the Earl. The establishment of the safe zone is actually to meet the needs of some people, but guests have no right to enter the interior.

Huey nodded: I have to say that this place has aroused my great interest. If the previous visits were just out of boredom, now I really treat this place as a good scenic spot. I am eager to hear the wailing of the prisoners under the whip and see their miserable faces. I really want to know how people behave when they are in pain. Maybe I should talk to the Earl. For the sake of the painting, he may make an exception and agree.

With that said, Xiu Yi turned and went back to the small white building.

After a while, Xiu Yi came out with a smile, and a small internal pass was pinned to his body: What's your name, guard?

Owen, Master Dardanelle.

So, Soldier Owen, your warden has agreed to my request, and now I can come and go here at will, do you have any questions? Xiu Yi pointed to the pass card on his body and said.

That's all right, Master Dardanelle. But I hope it's true, as you say, that you enjoy admiring everything in it. I hope it won't turn you off.

It's really interesting, your warden said the same thing to me just now. Xiuyi shrugged indifferently, and took out a King Witt and put it in the guard's hand.

Everything is as Xiu Yi expected, in order to prevent his painting from being taken away by Xiu Yi, the warden does not hesitate to use his power to open the door for Xiu Yi.

Of course he would not have imagined what a terrible plan lay behind Xiu Yi's sunny smile.

With the approval of the warden, the guards naturally followed the rules. He brought Xiu Yi to a checkpoint, and said to Xiu Yi: The rule here is that any outsider must hand over all weapons and alchemy items before entering. You can't bring anything that might help the prisoner.

No problem. Xiu Yi nodded casually.

Xiu Yi didn't have anything on her body, but the guards were still very careful not to miss anything suspicious.

When the inspection fell on Xiu Yi's ring, Xiu Yi said: This is a relic left to me by my mother. I don't think this thing can cause any harm to the prison. I am very worried about giving it to you, please allow me to carry it.

Several guards looked at each other, a little hesitant. One of the guards said: I'm sorry, Master Dardanelle, it would be fine if it was an ordinary ring. But we noticed some fluctuations of magical energy on this ring. According to the rules of the prison, any item with magical energy can be brought in.

It's a blessing from ancient times. It can protect me from evil attacks. It doesn't have any magical ability. If you don't believe me, you can try it. As far as I know, magic attack and magic defense can be tested. I guarantee that this ring that has only been blessed does not have such abilities. Xiuyi pleaded.

Fine then. The guard agreed.

After testing the ring and finding that it really does not have magical attack and defense capabilities, the guard finally allowed Xiu Yi to enter the prison with the ring.

After entering the security zone, Owen took Xiuyi to visit everywhere, but no one noticed. Suddenly, several small bees appeared in the prison, flying around. They hovered in the air for a week, and then flew in all directions.

The old jailbreak expert was looking at the crystal ball in the carriage at this time, and the scout bee was observing the surroundings. He made clear marks on the internal structure diagram of Spark Prison obtained earlier, marking the defense forces and rotation time of each place.

Xiu Yi's clear voice came from next to his ear: When do you usually eat?

Only after get off work.

Then don't you have to do things hungry?

It's not enough, Master Dardanelle, we change shifts during the meal.

What about night? Is there still time for supper?

Yes, there are four shifts in Spark Prison.

That is to say, there is a shift change every six hours. Eagle muttered softly, and made a heavy time mark on the map.

Following in the footsteps of the guards, Xiuyi walked through the safe zone, passed through the security zone and the buffer zone successively, and came to the detention zone.

The detention area with the largest area is divided into three places: ordinary area, serious crime area, and extremely dangerous area. The entire detention area is distributed in a circle, surrounded by rings. As a prison for recidivism, Spark Prison pulls out a group of guys who were lynched every year for disobeying discipline. They might not have to die, but just because they came to the wrong place and didn't realize the environment they were in, they ended up encountering the most terrible punishments in the world.

Whether in the past, present, or future, prisons are not places to reform people.

If outside the detention area, the fully armed guards brought a tense and solemn atmosphere to the prison, then inside the detention area, there could only be a bleak and terrifying atmosphere.

It is like a foreign world far away from the human world. The iron cage made of fine iron, the barbed whip, the shiny spear, and the empty echo caused by the riding boots on the ground all show the cruel and cruel side here.

Walking in the spacious aisle outside the detention area, Xiu Yi looked around. The prisoners were lying on the ground one by one, looking at the sky with obscure eyes. Above them, there are nail boards covered with barbs, hanging like that above their heads.

As the largest prison in the Lance Empire, with the largest number of prisoners and the strongest guards, even the prisoners in the ordinary area here are the number one person when they come out. They must be guarded with the strictest care. Even if you use a magic cage, you can't guarantee absolute safety. Beside the guard Owen is explaining to Xiuyi: The nails on the cage are used to deal with some stubborn guys. There are always people trying to escape, and sometimes they even pretend to be sick to trick the jailer into it, and then Trying to rush out of the cell. For such prisoners, Spark prison has enough power to execute on the spot.

Further ahead is the re-offender area, which is mainly guarded by puppet warriors and flesh puppets. These guys are very good. They can stand here for many years without feeling tired. Unfortunately, they are too rigid. They only recognize the pass card but not the person. I heard that there have been incidents where someone dropped the pass card and was accidentally killed by a puppet, but fortunately, it didn't happen here. Leading Xiu Yi all the way forward, the guard Owen kept introducing to Xiu Yi.

Perhaps it was that King Witt who played a role, and his attitude is extremely attentive now.

The puppet warrior may be rigid and inflexible, but it is the most dedicated existence, will not accept benefits from others, tireless, does not ask for salary, and will never betray. It is obviously a pretty good choice to use them to guard repeat offenders.

Xiu Yi's eyes gradually became cold, he looked at those puppet warriors. All the memories of the past rushed back to my heart like flowing water.

That's right, these puppet warriors and flesh and blood puppets came from Purgatory Island.

Xiu Yi once thought that all the puppets were sent to the battlefield, but he didn't expect that there were some such puppet warriors in Spark Prison.

Looking at the puppet in front of him, the scenes on Purgatory Island reappeared in his mind. The past years are something he will never forget.

He couldn't hold back the strong ups and downs of emotions in his heart, stepped forward a few steps, and put his hand on one of the flesh and blood puppets.

Be careful! the guard Owen couldn't help shouting: Don't mess with them, the puppet has been ordered to counterattack, even if you have a pass card, you can't make any threatening actions against it.

To Owen's surprise, the flesh and blood puppet didn't move at all, even though Xiuyi's hand fell on his body, even caressing his face.

Feeling the artificial skin as rough as sand skin, Xiu Yi's eyes were full of concentration. He stared blankly at this flesh and blood puppet, just like looking at his lover.

Whose soul is hidden under the body of this flesh and blood puppet? Sisser? Thack? Or another boy?

Those teenagers who could be named and who couldn't be named, their souls became a part of this flesh and blood puppets, and then transformed into the most ruthless killing machines, guarding this heavily guarded prison day and night.

Who in this world should be sent to prison?

The flame of anger in Xiu Yi's heart was burning, and after several consecutive deep breaths, he gradually returned to his original calm.

Oh, hell, how did you do it? The guard beside him called out in surprise.

Xiu Yi's eyes gradually became indifferent, and he said to the guards beside him, This flesh and blood puppet was sent over within three years, right?

Yes, how do you know?

Xiu Yi replied coldly: The empire has made a huge breakthrough in the production of puppet warriors since three years ago. The alchemist added a new instruction when making puppets, which can vaguely judge people's behavioral intentions. But this kind of intention judgment is carried out through the inherent mode, so it has great limitations. Next time you want to approach these puppets, remember not to approach them from the side or from the rear, it will make him think you are trying to sneak attack it. Walk directly in front of him, make your movements coherent and natural, and he will judge that you are not malicious to him, no attack you.

Hell, are you the maker of the puppet warrior? So familiar with these guys?

A friend once told me about this, and he also has a puppet warrior in his hand. Xiu Yi replied casually.

While speaking, his hand stroking the flesh and blood puppet had already reached under the flesh and blood puppet's waist. With the cover of his body, a small piece of metal was scratched into the flesh and blood puppet's body.

Just like tourists like to touch some scenery when sightseeing, Xiuyi's movements are calm and natural.

Looking at one area after another, the puppet warriors touched each other, and pieces of small metal pieces were placed on the puppet warriors. In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the deepest part of Spark Prison.

Master Dardanelle, I suggest you stop here. The guard made another request to stop him.

Why? Huey asked.

Further ahead is the extremely dangerous zone. Every prisoner there is very dangerous, and I'm afraid it will pose a threat to your safety.

I thought Spark Prison was the most heavily guarded and safest prison in the Empire.

indeed so.

Then what are we worried about? Do you want me to tell my friends when I go back that after Sissadaniel came to Spark Prison, even the prisoners in the cages in the extreme danger zone didn't dare to look at them and flinched?

Well then, Master Dardanelle, as you wish. The guard replied helplessly.

Walking through the spacious passage, Huey followed Owen to the extremely dangerous area.

Different from the previous two areas, the extremely dangerous area is no longer detaining prisoners with iron cages, but an airtight dark room made of thick iron plates.

Each darkroom has only two upper and lower movable baffles that can be opened. One is used to send food, and the other is used to send sunshine.

To Xiuyi's delight, there was an identity card hanging outside the darkroom, and each darkroom marked the identity of the prisoner who lived here.

The person responsible for guarding the extremely dangerous zone was the one that Xiu Yi hated to the bone—the demon spirit.

These are short in stature, with protruding knife-like bones protruding from their bodies, and hideous and terrifying faces. They have changed greatly since they were born. After being domesticated by humans, they are still bloodthirsty and crazy, but they no longer attack anyone at will, but have learned to follow orders.

Unlike guards who stand in the open, they always inhabit dark places more of the time. Because they have the ability to evade grudge searches, if it wasn't for the reminder from soldier Owen, it would be difficult for even Xiu Yi to discover their existence.

This makes the entire extremely dangerous zone seem calm and normal on the surface, but secretly there are crises and murderous intentions everywhere.

No one knows how many demon spirits are hiding in this area, but Xiuyi believes that as long as even one prisoner escapes from the danger zone, a group of demon spirits will emerge from the dark, wield their terrifying blade arms, and cut the enemy into pieces.

No wonder no one has ever been able to escape from here over the years, no matter how many and powerful prisoners have been imprisoned here.

The guards in Spark Prison are so strict that Xiu Yi also feels frightened.

But what he is more concerned about at the moment is that he has looked through the entire detention area, and he has not seen the person he is looking for.

This made him a little dissatisfied.

Spark Prison, are these three places the only place to hold prisoners? He asked Owen.

Owen thought for a while and replied, Actually, there is another place where prisoners are also held.

Where?

The black prison, but we usually call it the punishment area, which is specially used to deal with some stubborn stubborn elements who are not obedient. They are the extremely dangerous elements among the extremely dangerous elements. We call them... super dangerous elements.
