Chapter 586 Bazel's Loyalty
The concrete walls, the vents at regular intervals, and the huge painted signs at the corners all made Xius feel familiar.
"The web system here is more like an air-raid shelter." Xius sighed.
Ash looked back at his lord and didn't say anything. Zeus would occasionally say something incomprehensible, and most of the banshees were used to it.
After walking for a while in the webway, Zeus could hear the sound of flowing water coming from next door. That should be the sewer of Blood Harbor. The sewage and industrial water of the entire Blood Harbor would flow away through the dedicated channel in the webway.
After moving forward for a while, two equally tall figures appeared in front of Zeus. The dark heavy armor they wore looked even more hideous under the slightly dim light of the webway.
"My Lord."
A low voice came from under the visor, echoing dully in the concrete passage. When I remembered that there was a dungeon ahead, the feeling of eeriness was extremely intense.
It would be better if the two of them weren't having a heated discussion in the "Gwen and Her Three Bags" live broadcast room in the telepathic link.
Zeus sighed. These banshees looked intimidating, but underneath their heavy armor they were all noisy and noisy.
Ash is still better.
Zeus couldn't help but pat Ash's leg and tail armor.
Ash glanced at Hughes strangely, thought about it, then reached out and patted his head.
Hughes:?
What kind of weird ritual is this?
The two guards made way, and Zeus followed Ash down one level, arriving at the underground prison with the strictest supervision in Blood Harbor and even in the entire Castel.
This place is completely independent from the outside world, with banshees stationed here to guard it. The concrete is so thick that it can be used as an air-raid shelter, and generally only the most important and dangerous prisoners are detained here.
There are not many prisoners here now. There are several nobles from the North, all of them are stubborn guys, and an investigator from the Candlelight Society, who was snatched alive from my mother-in-law in the North by Isaac. He was the first extraordinary prisoner captured by Castel.
The man is still being interrogated and has not spoken for a long time.
Besides that, there is Bazel.
The cell where Bazel was imprisoned was at the innermost part. Just now, Ash notified the banshee duty team in the mental link, and now there was a whole team of banshees standing at the door of his cell.
Chloe is here too.
Hughes glanced at the diary on the table and asked, "What did he say?"
[He said he was controlled before, Lina controlled him and lured him to find the Bone Temple - you know that one, right?]
"Is it written in the previous report? I've read it. He dares to believe it. He really thinks he can become the Lord of the Undead."
〖According to him, Lina used some ability to make his judgment impaired. I believe it without a doubt. Judging from the logic he showed when he explained it, it should be true. It seems that his cognition was indeed affected.〗
"So everything is Lina's fault?" Xius sneered. "Did Lina find out anything?"
〖Not yet, I only know that she is closely related to the Fire Moth. She claimed to be the chief of the Fire Moth when she was with Bazel, and talked about many details of the Fire Moth. I compared them one by one and found that there were basically no mistakes or omissions.〗
"I remember she was a member of the Fire Moth before?"
〖Her infiltration into the Fire Moth seems to be more profound. According to Bazel's explanation, Lina's familiarity with the Fire Moth far exceeds the part that her identity can touch. I suspect that she has joined the Fire Moth before with another identity, and it is even possible that she is still lurking.〗
Zeus frowned. This matter was somewhat strange. The Fire Moth was not a good name, and it was not worth her taking so much trouble to borrow it. It seemed that Lina and the Fire Moth might really have some connection.
〖But you don't have to worry about the fire-chasing moths on Castel's side. Although the moth master has lost contact inexplicably, the people on our side have left their souls imprinted in the [Chrysalis], so there is no possibility of betrayal. I also rely on the [Chrysalis] to exist.〗
This [Pupa] sounds like a good thing. I wonder if I can get a few more people to work overtime.
Hughes suppressed the evil thoughts in his mind and gestured to Ash: "Open the door."
Ash took a step forward and placed his hand on the heavy steel door. The distorted characters etched on the door lit up for a moment, and then there was a "click" and the door lock popped open.
"This is our secret seal. Although its protective ability is not as good as steel, it has a good ability to resist extraordinary things." Chloe explained.
The steel door was pushed open, revealing a pile of twisted and tangled bones in the room. Zeus squinted his eyes and barely made out a skull from them.
"How did he become like this?"
〖In order to prevent him from using his abilities after recovery, I designed a machine that regularly crushes him, so that he is always in a broken state, making it easier to control.〗
Hughes then noticed that there was a huge mechanical structure on the ceiling, with a thick steel plate hanging from it. It was designed to come down regularly to smash Bazel.
"hiss"
"It's okay. He'll be able to put it together soon. I'll do a better job."
Sure enough, not long after, the bones in the room began to move, and Basel's cracked skull gradually appeared in front of Zeus.
"Kill me." Basel said weakly.
Hughes: “.”
"I have no intention of being your enemy. All my provocations and attacks were instigated by Lina. You are also a border earl, right? We were both appointed by the Queen, and we shouldn't fight each other."
"By the way, when I was interrogating him, he showed great loyalty to the Queen. He would even shout out the Queen's name when he was crushed." Chloe leaned over and whispered.
Loyal to the Queen?
Zeus's expression turned strange. Basel probably didn't know that his queen had changed her identity and he was now in the queen's nominal territory.
How ironic.
"Queen. No, even the former empire no longer exists. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous to talk about the canonization of the border earl, Lord Bazel?" Hughes replied slowly, "Besides, you assassinated me during the trial."
"No, that wasn't me! I just suddenly got rid of Lina's control when I looked at you, and then I felt something in my body rushing out. It was out of my control, and I didn't have the ability to attack like this, otherwise I would have used it in the battle!"
Zeus narrowed his eyes. Basel's explanation sounded reasonable. He also felt that the performance of this skeleton body in battle was indeed a bit useless.
