Chapter 72
Chapter 72 Imprisonment
After attending a banquet in the palace, Zou Heng basically came back hungry, but he was already mentally prepared for this situation.
Not only him, but also Niwang and Zhang Xiaonian, as well as His Highness. Everyone came back hungry. So after returning to the residence, the servants in the yard prepared a table of meals, and everyone sat together and ate. chat.
“Two mages, do you have any views on this banquet tonight?”
While eating, King Ren asked Zou Heng and Zhang Xiaonian who were sitting next to him.
When the two heard the words, they put down their chopsticks at the same time, and after looking at each other, Zou Heng still spoke first: “I don’t know much about the situation in the royal capital, but just talk about today’s banquet. Somewhat unexpectedly, I didn’t expect to see the national teacher and listen to the meaning in the words of the national teacher, which seems to have the meaning of safeguarding His Royal Highness.”
Zou Heng directly focused on the topic. The most noteworthy part of today’s palace banquet is the arrival of the national teacher Min Xiaoxing.
It is estimated that at this time, all those who participated in the palace banquet are considering when they return home, whether the national teacher appeared at the banquet today to show an attitude and support the king who has just returned to the country.
After hearing Zou Heng’s words, King Ni nodded gently, and continued to speak: “Yes, this king didn’t expect it. It was just a banquet that would see the national teacher arrive. When the king was in the royal capital. , I didn’t even see the national teacher. I didn’t expect to be able to see the national teacher so soon when I came back now.”
In fact, in the mind of King Ren, what he considered was the second half of Zou Heng’s words, which were the words of the national teacher, which meant to defend him.
He also heard this at the time, and still remembered it in his heart. If he had just returned to the royal capital, if he could be valued by the national teacher, then after the funeral of the current country lord, he might inherit the lord of the country. It will undoubtedly be bigger.
However, whether the national teacher really likes him or not is still open to question. At least before the other party has made a clear statement, Nioh can’t be sure that such a beautiful thing will fall on him so easily.
After Zou Heng and King Ren finished talking, Zhang Xiaonian on the side also said: “I see, your Royal Highness doesn’t need to be too concerned about things at the banquet for the time being. It is better to follow the previous plan and visit the people who should be visited. I am really optimistic about Your Highness, then it will be the icing on the cake!”
Hearing Zhang Xiaonian’s words, King Ren glanced at him slightly in surprise. These words were rather calm, so he nodded, indicating that he had listened to his words.
The topic of discussion is almost here, and after a few small chats, the meal is finished, and they each go back to rest.
After returning to his room, Zou Heng resumed his practice tonight because he had taken a good rest yesterday.
First, I meditated in the room for a while, practiced the god’s breath-saving method, and continued to improve my mana. When it was almost time to practice today, I quietly walked out of the room and came to an undisturbed place in the yard. I took off my own mana. With shoes, both feet stepped on the ground and began to absorb the earth’s stale air.
Since waking up from the injury last time, Zou Heng has discovered that his efficiency in absorbing the earth’s stale air has improved a lot compared to before, and even his physical strength has increased a bit faster.
Zou Heng felt that this change was probably due to the previous battle, which had improved the blood of the Witch in his body.
He still remembered that when he faced the three ghosts released by Zhong Buwei, he had already fallen into a very dangerous situation, but at that time, the blood in his body seemed to boil suddenly, dispelling the three ghost belts. All the negative emotions that came had caused him to explode with power far beyond usual, which should be the power of the blood of the Witch Clan.
Zou Heng hopes that his feelings are correct, because if his witch bloodline is improved, the benefits that he can bring to him in the future are absolutely unimaginable, even if his bloodline is not as powerful as that. The cultivation methods and supernatural powers of the Witch Clan, but with a strong physique alone, it is enough to gain a foothold.
“If I have time tomorrow, I should go to Li Sheng. I have to ask him for help. Let me meet the old warlock and see if the other party knows the God’s breathing method. It is best to understand from the other party’s mouth. Something about this fundamental method!” While absorbing the earth’s turbid air, Zou Heng began to think about the God-Eating Method.
Originally, he wanted to clarify this problem when he was on the road, but there has been no chance on the road. Now that he has arrived in the royal capital, it is not so easy to meet that old warlock. Zou Heng even the other side. I don’t know where it is now, so I can only ask Li Sheng for help. I hope that the friendship along the way will make the other party willing to help.
One night passed, and early the next morning, after breakfast, Zou Heng went out to find Li Sheng.
Li Sheng came from an extraordinary background, so it is easy to find him. He knows where to find him, and then simply ask someone to find out. You will be able to find him soon.
After Zou Heng arrived, he explained his intentions to the gatekeeper at the door, and then the other party went in and made an announcement, and soon he saw Li Sheng.
The two met, and after a simple greeting, Li Sheng asked the topic.
“Master Zou, did you come to me today to represent yourself, or did His Highness Jen send you?”
“I’m here today on behalf of myself. I want to ask General Li for help. I don’t know if it can be convenient?” Zou Heng said simply after hearing this.
“Master, please tell me, if you can help, you must do your best!” Hearing that Zou Heng came on his own behalf and was here to ask him for help, Li Sheng’s expression did not change, and he accepted it with just one bite. When speaking, he still gave himself some leeway, lest Zou Heng made too much demand.
“The fundamental method I am practicing today was captured from a warlock that we killed while we were on the road, but this fundamental method, I still had some doubts when I practiced, so I want to meet the warlock who brought it back to the capital. Ask him some questions!” Zou Heng gave a general overview of his situation, without much concealment, and basically said it honestly.
Hearing this, Li Sheng nodded slightly, and then continued to speak: “It turns out that the sorcerer who was brought back with him is also in the uniform of the mage. The mage wants to see him all right. Now that sorcerer is in jail, I Then take the mage to see him!”
“Then there will be General Lao!” Seeing that Li Sheng was vigorous and resolute, Zou Heng immediately wanted to take him to meet people. He did not refuse, and directly followed the other party to the jail.
The so-called forbidden prison is of course different from ordinary prisons. This is a prison specially prepared for warlocks. Warlocks who are imprisoned in it will basically be restricted to their ability to cast spells to prevent them from escaping.
There are many warlocks in the royal capital, and it is inevitable that there are people with wrong intentions. For these warlocks who have committed crimes, it is very necessary to find a special place to detain them.
After Zou Heng and Li Sheng went out, it took a while before they came to the forbidden prison. Under the leadership of Li Sheng, the two went through a strict interrogation before entering the forbidden prison.
At the gate of the real cell, Zou Heng saw a very delicately crafted beast head talisman. It looked a bit like a wolf, but it had three eyes and four ears. It was a bit weird, but it was also very majestic.
“Please a spiritual thing!”
When Zou Heng saw this beasthead talisman at first glance, he recognized that it was a spirit-inviting object, and it was a special kind of spirit-inviting object. Hanging this object here would have a certain effect. It’s very special.
When he walked in from the jail, Zou Heng probably guessed the function of the beast head talisman. Once he entered the jail, the mana on his body was suppressed. Although he was not completely crushed to death, at this time he only needed If you dare to cast any spells, it will touch the soul-inviting thing.
The environment in the forbidden cell is not as good as ordinary cells, the same cold and humid, and the light is particularly dim. After all, as a cell, it is originally a prisoner, and it is impossible to give the prisoner much preferential treatment.
Zou Heng followed behind a jailer, while walking forward, his eyes couldn’t help looking left and right. He saw that although some of the cells were empty, there were a lot of people in other prisons. .
All the people who can be locked up here are sorcerers, and each one masters some mysterious magic techniques, but after arriving here, all of them are honest and honest, and none of them shouted injustices or abused them in the cell.
Soon, a few people stopped in front of a cell. Zou took a look inside the cell and found that the person inside was the older warlock he was looking for.
The elderly warlock who was locked in, with chains on his hands, sat quietly in a corner of the cell. After spotting someone parked in front of his cell, he raised his head and looked out, then his eyes It was Yi Ning, because he had already discovered that among the few people who had come, it was harmful to Zou Heng who had fallen to his current position.
However, his expression quickly eased again. As a warlock of the alchemist realm, he was only one step away from the Tongxuan realm, but he was defeated by a warlock of the magic realm. This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing. There is no face to be angry about things, but more should be ashamed.
Shaking his head slightly, the elderly warlock stood up from the corner of the cell, sighed lightly, and said in a somewhat relieved tone.
“Oh, I shouldn’t have come to this flood. Now that I haven’t gotten what I want, I still put this old bone in it. Forget it, that’s the end of it. When I’m on the road, there is nothing to say. Take it as my fate!”
