Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 57: It's Hard to Fly Away (Part )

Coincidentally, the door leading to the balcony at the end of the corridor is carved with many tiny patterns.

Richard hadn't looked at it carefully before, but now that he was paying attention, he discovered that the patterns were actually silver stars of wisdom!

This made Richard feel excited when he held the door handle, as if as soon as he opened the door, he would be able to enter a future full of wisdom and light.

With a click, the corridor door opened!
Behind the small door was the entrance to the staircase that Richard was very familiar with. The sunlight rushed in from the ceiling, moving the shadows of the stairs down layer by layer.
Just one step away from victory.

Richard strode into the sunlight, taking two flights of stairs at a time, and climbed as hard as he could to the rooftop.

However, he had only climbed one level when he saw a huge shadow cast from above.

Richard's pupils shrank and he quickly raised his head.

He saw three black-robed mages standing side by side blocking the stairs and walked over quickly.

Richard was slightly startled. Just as he was about to put on a smile and say hello, he heard the three black-robed wizards shouting:
"Warden Richard, we have received news that someone is trying to assassinate you. Come with us now."

Ok?
Someone wants to assassinate me, why not earlier or later, but at this time? Have you guys heard about this?

I believed your evil deeds!
Richard felt a chill on his back and panicked. He grabbed the railing, immediately turned over, jumped to the stairs below, turned around and prepared to run back to the corridor.

"Stop, don't run!"

boom!
Richard opened the door to the corridor and took a deep breath.

In the corridor behind him, at the end of his retreat, four black-robed mages formed a human wall and were running towards him.

clap clap clap!

Richard turned around hurriedly and saw three black-robed wizards coming up the stairs.

At this moment, in this narrow corridor, all of Richard's escape routes were blocked, like a turtle in a jar.

Perhaps because the noise made by the people in black robes running was too loud, several doctors and nurses in the corridor were looking at the scene curiously.

"Mr. Richard! Come with us! You are in a very dangerous situation now."

"Warden Li, you are in danger. We are here to protect you."

"Quickly surround Warden Li. We must not let him out of our sight."

"Hurry up and protect Richard, otherwise it will be too late."

Richard immediately understood that they wanted to use protection as an excuse to control himself!

We must not let them gain the upper hand!
"Go away! Don't come over here, I don't even know you!"

Richard called for help in panic:

"Help! Help me call the police! Someone is pretending to be from the Xingyue Society and trying to murder me. Qingcui! Qingcui, save me!"

Richard shouted loudly towards the sky. He knew that at this moment, the lapis lazuli gargoyle on the rooftop was his only reliable support.

However, Richard's loud calls did not have any effect.

The doctors and nurses just watched with their eyes open and did nothing, and the gargoyle on the rooftop did not hear his cries and fly down to save him.

Richard took a deep breath.

Logically speaking, Qingcui should be able to hear my cry for help at this distance.

But Qingcui didn't come over. This meant someone had used magic to cut off the connection between me and Qingcui. They even had time to make all the arrangements, which only meant that my every move was under their control.

After all, Richard was outnumbered and weak. No matter how he tried to rush left and right, he still couldn't escape the fate of being surrounded and was surrounded by a group of men in black robes.

Richard was furious: "I am the warden of Saint Laurent Prison! You have no right to arrest me, you can't do this!"

"You misunderstood. We are not arresting you. We are protecting you."

"Then I don't need your protection! Go away!"

"This is not up to you. This is our mission. Make him shut up and cooperate with the protection!"

A man in black robes gave an order, and the other two men in black robes rushed out immediately. In three moves, they turned Richard's hands over and pressed them behind his back.

One of the men in black robes fiercely covered Richard's mouth with a wet canvas.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" Richard wanted to resist, but the two mages released their magic hands. The strength in their hands was far greater than his. He was no match at all.

“Quickly protect Warden Richard and put him in a small room and protect him strictly.

The Lord is waiting inside to protect him."

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" Richard struggled desperately, his eyes bloodshot. He looked at the doctors and nurses in the corridor, his eyes filled with requests for help.

However, to no avail.

Richard was pushed into a small room near the corridor by a group of men in black robes. A short man in black robe was already waiting for him in the room.

With a bang, the door of the room was slammed shut, completely blocking out the curious sight of the doctor and nurse.

"Woo! Ugh! Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Richard's hands remained restrained, but the canvas on his mouth had been removed, giving him the ability to speak.

“Haha, Warden Richard, don’t be nervous. As you can see, we are the secret mages of the Star-Moon Society.

Among all of you present, there are several brothers who have greeted you when you came and went, and I believe you have recognized them.

We have received classified information. An illegal organization has placed an evil magic item inside your shirt that could cause a huge explosion and destroy the entire hospital.

So we asked you to come in and let our explosion-proof experts check you. Richard, for your safety and for everyone else's safety, is it okay for us to check your clothes?"

"Bullshit!" Richard was furious: "I am such a grown man, how could I not know if someone put some evil props in my clothes.

You are just looking for an excuse to detain me! This is kidnapping!"

At this moment, the black-robed leader's tone suddenly became heavy.

"Did I not ask clearly enough, Mr. Richard?

Then I'll ask again. I'm asking you, what is that bottle of dangerous goods on your chest?"

"What dangerous goods? What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any dangerous goods on me!" Richard shouted loudly, very angry.

Richard's attitude made the man in black robe even more proud. He sneered and said:

"Humph, you won't cry until you see the coffin. If you tell the truth, we can discuss it. If you don't tell the truth, then I can only search!"

"Don't search! I'll tell you what I'm saying!"

Richard's face turned pale. He swallowed his saliva. He spoke slowly, slowing down:

"Okay, I admit that there is something in my chest, but I promise it is definitely not dangerous. It is a bottle of potion that I took from my colleague's home in Oxford."

"Haha! So you admit that there's something in your chest, right? Quick! That's dangerous stuff, search it out for me!"

"You are not trustworthy!"

Richard was furious and twisted his body desperately.

"No! You have no right to do this. I am the savior of the Lord of Xingge City! I am not a prisoner, not a criminal, not a suspect!
You have no right to search my personal belongings without my permission!

I want to see the Lord of Xingge City, I want to see the permanent leader of Mahir, even if it is an interrogation, I also want a fair, just and open interrogation!"

"It's no use seeing anyone, just search for me!"

At the command of the black-robed leader, two black-robed mages immediately came up, surrounded Richard on both sides, and reached into Richard's clothes.

"no no!"

Richard's eyes widened and his face turned pale.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. A voice outside shouted:

"My Lord, this is bad. Executive Officer Iluna of the Dome Mage Corps has sent a telephone protest to our Star-Moon Society, demanding that we release Richard immediately.

She herself was on her way.

It may be that we made too much noise when we were protecting the target just now, and were seen by an agent from the Dome Mage Corps."

"Tsk, you came so quickly. This bitch is trouble. Ignore her and search Richard first."

"Ugh, no! No!"

Richard twisted his body in fear, but without any magic power, he could not stop the black-robed wizard from approaching.

"Sorry." A black-robed wizard reached roughly into Richard's arms, accurately grasped the inner pocket of Richard's clothes, and took out a bottle of potion.

"Sir, there are indeed dangerous goods!"

"Humph." The man in black robe sneered, "Appraiser."

"Here!" A man in black robe stepped out from the crowd.

Richard shouted desperately: "No! Give it back to me! You can't do this."

"Smell this potion and see what it is."
"Yes!" The appraiser took Richard's medicine, held it in his hand, unscrewed the cap, gently fanned out some smoke with his hand, and then sniffed it from a distance.

After smelling the scent, the black-robed wizard understood.

He said loudly:
"My lord, this is a sleeping potion."

"Huh! I knew... Hmm? What did you say it was?" The black-robed leader's voice suddenly sounded a little stunned.

"My Lord, this is a sleeping potion. It is a common potion that helps with sleep, used to treat insomnia caused by some mages' excessive fatigue. It is available everywhere, and there is nothing special about it."

"Hmm? Hmm! How could it be a sleeping potion? Please identify it again."

"I'll take a sip." The appraiser took the potion into his hood and drank half of the bottle in one gulp.

Then he nodded and confirmed again: "Yes, sir, it is the sleeping potion."

"Ah? It's the sleeping potion?"

"Of course it's a sleeping potion, what else could it be?"

Richard was furious, extremely angry. He changed his cowardice and roared:
"Oxford and I were good colleagues and friends. After his death, I never had the chance to see him again, so I took a bottle of sleeping pills from his bedside with me, ready to take it back to prison as a souvenir, so that I could remember him and mourn him at any time.

What's wrong with me?! Don't I have the right to mourn my fallen colleague?

You actually took apart the sleeping potion! Too much, too much! You born-again! You deserve to die!"

Richard struggled hard, ignoring the tearing pain in his shoulder.

His body kept thrashing and twisting, and the two black-robed mages, trying their best together, could hardly hold him down.

Richard looked angry on the surface, but his heart was already surging like waves, and he was extremely ecstatic.

Win! I win! Everything went as planned!
