Chapter 313: To live? Or to die?
Find the entrance to the dungeon, start killing, and then upgrade.
This is undoubtedly Mo Cheng's favorite and most frequently used dungeon mode. He thought that this time he had obtained the clue of [Black Prison] from Mishas, and he would be able to enter a new dungeon and kill as many people as possible.
Unfortunately, Mo Cheng's feeling did not deceive him, and things turned out to be as troublesome as he had guessed before.
Princess Mishas shook her head. "Mother has temporarily expelled the Black Prison from the material plane. She will not return until the gap is filled. At present, the political affairs of Aundair are handled by my father, and it will take about a month."
Very good, the copy is gone. Mo Cheng suddenly lost his ideals. He forced himself to listen to what Misha wanted to ask him for help.
"Do you remember what you gave me last time?" Mishas gestured with her hands, "The intelligence and those people you gave me."
The princess' words reminded Mo Cheng of how, during the [collapse incident], he had used some unspeakable means to find out where the grain that had been purchased in advance was from the merchants, gang leaders, and the nobles' lackeys.
Those whose psychological defenses were breached not only told what they had done, but also what the nobles behind them had done. When Mo Cheng forced out the whereabouts of the food, he handed over the information and those people to Princess Mishas.
Judging from the current situation, the royal family is likely to have asked those people something.
But another possibility could not be ruled out. Mo Cheng pondered for a while, choosing his words, "Were they assassinated?"
If a subordinate who holds evidence against him is caught, Mo Cheng's first reaction will be to kill him immediately to prevent the information from being leaked.
In fact, Gulan and his group in "Searching for the Golden Rose" are similar in nature to the businessmen and gang leaders captured by Mo Cheng.
"Almost. Although they didn't die, they all fell into a deep sleep."
From Mishas, I learned that the secret struggle between the queen and the nobles has become more and more intense. On the surface, everyone is dedicated to being a good queen and nobles for the country, but in private where no one can find out, the fighting has almost become normalized.
In response, Mo Cheng said that he had read the script, and not only read it, but also studied it.
The current political environment in Andair is that the nobles whose fundamental interests have been affected are planning to ask the queen to accidentally fall into the water and die. Queen Caroline is also planning to set up secret departments such as the Imperial Guard, the East Factory, and the West Factory to collect evidence and secretly arrest nobles who cross the line.
Although the food incident of this [collapse event] was apparently caused by a group of unscrupulous merchants hoarding food, if one really digs deeper, one will find that they are involved in the crime of colluding with the Inquisition and leading Inquisition personnel to smuggle into Fairhaven.
If this behavior is really investigated, the charge of treason with intent to murder the queen will definitely not be avoided.
In order to make those people shut up, preferably forever, the nobles involved even used a hidden chess piece.
"Who is it?"
He was asking who the hidden mastermind was, but the one who answered him was not Princess Mishas.
"It was the warden Walkley Phillips. When those people were sent to the prison and were trying to get information, the warden tried to silence them. Although he found out in time, he was unable to do so. However, the prisoners were all infected with a compound curse toxin. Currently, the alchemists are trying to develop an antidote."
The person who spoke was a man who walked in from outside. He was handsome and tall, and his clothes looked ordinary, but he gave people a sense of dignity that could not be concealed by his clothes.
Mo Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the person coming. He recognized who the person was. The other person's handsome face, which would take even a professional face-sculpting artist three days to create, was too recognizable among the players of [Foreign Land].
Queen Caroline's husband, Prince Charles. A man who can maximize Queen Caroline's idea of centralization, even if the entire Aundair political circle has started to fight, the intensity is still suppressed to the minimum while covering up the struggle.
It can be said that Prince Charil has made great contributions to the fact that Aundair has not yet started the war of division.
"I can see your understanding of me from your eyes." Prince Charles stretched out his hand. "I am Charles, Mishas's father."
He did not mention his identity as a prince, so does this meeting mean it is [informal]?
Realizing the information revealed in Prince Charil's words, Mo Cheng also stretched out his hand to shake hands with him. "Your appearance is more handsome than that of an elf. It is said that even the Elf King is jealous of you. I can't think of anyone else except Prince Charil. But compared to your appearance, I am more shocked by the trade terms you signed in Borog and the subsequent formation of a detailed system of [Farming and Warfare]."
"I'm Mo Cheng, and I run a welfare home in the civilian area."
Mo Cheng knew something about Prince Charlie. You could always trust the ladies and painters on the [Foreign Land] forum. Their secondary creations for this handsome and unparalleled prince, even gender-swapped and gay CP porn pictures, directly filled four or five pages of the screen when they were the most popular.
After the two of them greeted each other, without much politeness, Prince Charles asked, "Count Mo Cheng, can I trust you?"
Prince Charles did not exchange any pleasantries. His straightforward questions made Mo Cheng realize that his character might have been figured out. They knew that what he wanted most was to skip the meaningless courtesies and get straight to the point.
"When most people ask me this question, I answer it directly: Where to go? How many to kill?"
If Prince Charles did not trust him, he would not have appeared in front of him today, let alone sit down and ask him questions.
So the answer was obvious from the beginning.
“Although Warden Walkley failed to assassinate the prisoner, he escaped before being arrested. We suspect that the previous escapees from the prison were also his actions.”
"Where is Walkley's escape destination? Abroad?"
"The Kingdom of Delos. Judging from his route and behavior, Warden Walkley should be planning to go to Faro Bay to contact people from the Kingdom of Delos."
The Kingdom of Delos, a neighboring country of Aundair, is a centralized country ruled by a king. It has strict militarized management and very strong cohesion.
On top of that, Delos and Aundair have a fair amount of historical conflict.
"Walkery would not have many routes to choose from. Apart from the main roads and the routes with the most people, there would be very few routes he could take."
"But at the same time, there will be people helping him along the way, so that he can leave Aundair safely, so that they will not be implicated. Warden Walkley has the strength of the [Hero] level. He has been promoted for many years and is very powerful. Those who intend to help him will also send strong people to meet him."
"Then there is only the most important question left." Mo Cheng looked at Prince Charlie, "Do you want him to live? Or do you want him to die?"
Mo Cheng easily grasped the current situation. It was a faction mission, a pledge of allegiance, or whatever you wanted to call it. He didn't care about these things. Since the Aundair royal family had the entrance to the Black Prison dungeon, he was willing to do something in exchange for the entrance ticket to the Black Prison.
