From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Chapter 32: Intrigue in Silver Moon City

In a sense, Tian Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with being in jail. No one interrogated her, nor was she tortured. She even lived in a single room, had meals delivered on time, and no inexplicable killers appeared.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that her knight's sword was confiscated before she entered the cell. The other party also wanted to take her pendant, which made her a little flustered. So she tried to resist with a serious face: "This is my honor."

Seeing her attitude, the jailer escorting Tian Yu whispered something in the prison officer's ear, and the other party actually condoned her refusal to hand over the pendant. Tian Yu calmly let the jailer take her to jail, and she realized in her heart that he was probably related to Vivian's family.

"It seems that the forces in Silver Moon City are very complicated..." This was what Tian Yu felt after spending three days in jail.

Her cellmate next to her was a restless person who tried to chat with Tian Yu every day. On this day, he knocked on the wall again and again, and Tian Yu put her ear against the loose brick.

"Do you have any new stories to tell today?"

"Yes, of course! I'm reminded of my adventures in the southern volcanoes. Do you want to hear about them?"

"Please go ahead." This was one of the few pastimes that Tian Yu had in prison.

......

On the seventh day of Tian Yu's detention, she began to lose her temper. That evening, after listening to her cellmate's new adventure story, she asked hesitantly, "Uh, what's your name?"

"I haven't told you my name yet?" The other party obviously forgot about it.

"No, your story was so wonderful that I forgot about it."

"My name is John, Adventurer John."

Tian Yu silently complained in his heart that this was a very common name: "Okay John, how long have you been in here?"

"Three years? Maybe two years, I can't remember clearly."

This surprised Tian Yu: "You stayed in there for so long?"

The other party's tone showed a rare frustration: "Yes, this is a somewhat heartbreaking story, and I don't mind telling you..."

"You mean to say that a noble lord whose name you don't want to reveal hired you but was unwilling to pay you, so he threw you into prison?"

John's tone was obviously more frustrated: "Yes, what's worse is that no one came to bail me out. Maybe my former friends don't even know I'm here..."

John's voice gradually became quieter, and his supersensory perception told Tian Yu that he was in a very low mood at the moment: "Sorry..."

"No, no, no, don't be sorry. Maybe you can tell me what it's like outside now?"

Although Tian Yu didn't think Vivian would do anything treacherous, she was very afraid that she would become a victim because of the confrontation between the forces of Silvermoon City. Wasn't she imprisoned this time because of the confrontation between the nobles?

Whenever night falls, Tian Yu lies on the uncomfortable hard bed, always summoning the screen to sort out everything in this copy and how he will continue -

"Dungeon: Silvermoon City War

Dungeon background: A Western fantasy world where steam technology is just beginning to emerge, and a class system still exists

Force value assessment: roughly divided into two systems, namely magic category and force category

..."

Tian Yu slowly recorded all the information he knew into his system, and finally analyzed the core "war" of the copy -

"The war in Silvermoon City started about fifteen years ago. So far, it has been a long-lasting and conventional war, probably a competition with other cities for resources.

Recently, there have been continuous reports of conscription and peace talks advocated by "Knowledge Highlands", which indirectly indicate that the war is about to escalate. Many sources speculate that Silvermoon City will expand the war to the entire southern region.

Judging from the situation in Silvermoon City, I'm afraid there are differences of opinion between the nobles and those in power in the city. Vivian's constant pursuit also shows that there are two sides of the same coin in Silvermoon City: those who advocate war and those who advocate peace."

After sorting out the current situation, Tian Yu slowly wrote down the doubts in his mind——

"1. Why is Anna so strong? Is it because the overall strength of the Knights of Light is higher or is there some memory that I don't understand?

2. What roles are the other players in the instance currently playing? Will they find me a threat?

3. At what point does the copy end?

4. What should I do to live more safely?

The night was uneventful, but the next day, the jailer who had escorted Tian Yu appeared outside her cell door and said, "You can leave at three o'clock this afternoon."

John next door seemed to have heard the noise as well. He knocked on the wall and said with some envy, "Although I'm a little reluctant to let you go, I still congratulate you on leaving this damn place."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the jailer opened Tian Yu's cell door, led her to the door, returned her sword to her, and handed her a copy of the "Silvermoon City Code".

"You can go now. Just remember the rules of Silvermoon City." The other party pointed to the code.

Tian Yu nodded, and as if remembering something, he asked, "What crime did the, uh, criminal next door to me commit?"

"You mean him? He has lived in here for a long time. It's probably not a big deal. But he is not as lucky as you. No one is willing to pay so many gold coins to let him out." The jailer shrugged.

Presumably, his release from prison was Vivian's doing, which involved not only money but also an exchange between two forces.

Walking out of the prison gate, Tian Yu squinted at the sunlight that she hadn't seen for a long time. A coachman drove a carriage and walked up to her: "Hello, Ms. Anna, one of your friends ordered me to come and greet you."

Although the other party did not mention any names, Tian Yu's extrasensory perception told him that he was not lying.

In the carriage, Tian Yu finally got a clear view of this magnificent city for the first time. The municipal planning here was extremely careful. The prison should be located in the lower city area on the edge. The houses here clearly divided the living area and the residential area, and there were even neat drainage ditches on the roadside.

Although the people in the lower city do not seem to live as happily as those in Tian Yu's world, there are no people who are half-naked or skinny. Most of the houses here are crowded and dense, and the per capita space must not be ample.

"It looks like the Middle Ages." Tian Yu made a comparison in his mind.

The carriage drove along the road gradually towards the city center. At the end of the main road in the lower city, a gate guarded by guards stood across a river. The coachman seemed to show some kind of certificate and was allowed to pass after inspection.

"Where are we?" Tian Yu asked the coachman.

"Sir Knight, we have just crossed the Ys Bridge and are now on our way to the central city." The groom replied respectfully.

“Why do you need to show your ID?”

"That's a pass between urban areas. Silvermoon City is divided into upper, middle and lower urban areas. The somewhat chaotic lower urban area surrounds the outer perimeter of the entire circular city."

"The public security has been a bit chaotic recently, and there are always spies sneaking into Silvermoon City. Identity documents are necessary to cross the city." The other party introduced the structure of Silvermoon City to Tian Yu.

"We're going to the inner city, which is the safest and grandest part, and that's where you're going to meet people."
