In the dark and dead silence, in the uninhabited space where even slight breaths with low effort can be clearly heard, Jie Shi stared at the concrete floor barely visible through the weak light from the window, clearly feeling the cold air that was so cold that he was about to freeze to death, and the stinging pain on the ground. To the soles of the feet and buttocks that are about to lose consciousness.

Normal people would probably have yelled more bullying wails, but here no one would pay attention, no matter how loud the yells of pain were, no one would check.

Even if he really couldn't stand the incessant pain and finally committed suicide, he would only be discovered by the guards during the meal time, and finally thrown into the wilderness to be pecked by passing animals.

For Jieshi, the so-called pain has long been paralyzed, and shouting is meaningless, all he can do is stare at the ground, wait for the passage of time with his head empty.

squeak.

From the only ventilated opening to the outside world, there was a sharp high-pitched sound that a small mouse would make, and then in the dark and bottomless pit-like dim space, the mouse fell into the prison by mistake.

Probe left and right, walking quickly and without a clue, accidentally walked into Jieshi's line of sight.

"This is a prison for criminals, have you committed any crime?"

From the time he entered the prison, there were very few people Jieshi could talk to.

The one who really maintained a calm conversation was probably the mouse that stayed where it was, looking at Jieshi with its round black eyes.

squeak.

It uttered two high-decibel squeaks to itself, and the mouse ran up to Jieshi without fear, moved its flexible limbs to the position of the hand, and licked it with its tiny tongue.

"It fell in because of the smell of food on my hands?"

He didn't feel repulsed, instead he let the mouse lick freely. At this moment, Jieshi understood that the mouse didn't get lost but smelled the smell of his own hands.

The food given by the guards was all the most basic food that was so cold that it smelled bad, and there was only one flat iron plate, so Jie Shi could only dig it out with his hands if he wanted to eat.

At first, he would go to eat naturally, but as the darkness eroded, the frequency and number of times Jie expressed his willingness to eat became less and less.

Perhaps because there is no water to wash and wash, even if the smell that is difficult to dissipate in the freezing temperature is not detected by people, the mouse will still smell it.

squeak.

It's not a high-pitched and clear call, but a lower but equally high-decibel harsh sound.

Looking at the upper hole, I found that it was a rat that was bigger than the mouse in my hand and had a darker complexion.

"Is that your mother?"

squeak.

He yelled again at the small mouse in the cell, and the licking mouse shook its ears and looked up at the hole.

Immediately after that, he climbed up to the hard wall, and quickly moved to the entrance of the cave to leave with his mother.

Perhaps to that little mouse, Jieshi was just a corpse that smelt of food.

"It's weaker than I thought."

There was no sound of opening the door or the sound of footsteps from walking. The prosperity and noise outside the cave entrance was even weaker than breathing.

In this dark space that was almost dead silent, a leisurely and casual sound suddenly broke through the dead silent.

It's not as outrageous as the level of magic bombing, but a sentence suddenly appeared in the dead silence, especially a human voice that Jie Shi could understand. He couldn't help being shocked and focused on this sentence, so he subconsciously thought that the words were amplifying the volume .

"Who?"

He didn't open the door or move around at all, but the voice of talking suddenly came from the iron door of the prison cell. Jie Shi, who had only eaten a few mouthfuls of food for several days and had no strength, felt a sense of heaviness when he raised his head. Words, even if Jieshi caused a bone fracture, he would not hesitate to see who broke into this dead space.

"You don't even recognize me?"

The faint light from the hole can barely illuminate a small part of the cell, almost only the soles of the feet can be seen clearly at the gate, and the shoes that Feng Ao often wore were the first to be seen when he was able to see Feng Ao.

At this moment, he is not familiar with the common boots, and his voice is not a female voice with a middle and high pitch, but a volume that is full of bass and full of youthful vigor like that of an old man—Jieshe has an impression of this voice, but not a good one .

Continuously staring at the black iron gate on the upper half, after nearly five seconds of visual adaptation, Jieshi finally saw that "really familiar" face.

Thanks to the fact that the other party was wearing all white clothes, the patterns on the edges of the clothes were also pure white, his hair was white, his eyes were white and even his lips were white.

This pure white attire is more obvious in the dark, and because of this, Jie Shi can recognize the opponent's identity faster.

"Your Majesty the King."

The obstruction of the light made it still a bit reluctant to see the other person's facial features clearly, but when he judged his identity, Jie showed his ups and downs and his emotions immediately calmed down. He barely stood up with weak strength and bowed gently.

"Now you are a criminal, not the captain of the hostage team, so you don't need to treat me with etiquette."

Every word stabbed deep in Jieshi's heart, but the bowing posture still didn't disappear.

It stands to reason that one can obediently obey the king's words, ignore the so-called basic politeness, just sit on the ground and look at the king out of the corner of his eyes.

But Jieshi didn't do this, not because of his self-esteem but because of his sense of responsibility.

"May I ask what your Majesty the King is here for?"

Strictly speaking, this is a stupid question. Just using power is enough to drive the guards to leave temporarily, but from the sound of opening the door, it can be guessed that the king used "wind magic" to enter. As for the principle and process , Jieshi is not aimed at the researchers of Magic Kingdom, and has no interest in discussing it.

For Jieshi who "was the captain in the past", the purpose of the king's visit is the most important.

The only thing that is certain is that it is absolutely impossible for the king to come here for good things, because Jieshi's understanding of the king is that he has bad impressions and disgusting memories.

"Sit down as you please."

"Thank you Your Majesty the King."

"Bringing you good news, the meeting of the Magic Kingdom decided to extend your probation and make you an important source of progress for our country."

"what?"

Can't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

"There is a very interesting power in you, "I can see it", if you use it and use it well, you will definitely be able to stand at the top."

Completely ignoring Jie Shi's mood, the king maintained his speaking frequency, and blurted out very provocative and dangerous content without haste.

"The swordsmen who seized the kingdom of swords are your country's resources. Isn't His Majesty the king afraid of disputes between the two countries?"

"Afraid? Why? In terms of interests, your power is worth any quarrel between us. Understand? You are worthy of making us an enemy of the kingdom of swords."

Selfishness to the extreme, such disgusting words that are completely reckless, even Jieshi couldn't help feeling emotional, veins appeared on his forehead, he clenched his teeth, and stared at the king with eyes that were about to lose their human brilliance.

"Stop joking! The hostage team was established for the sake of peace between the two countries, and now you can let go of this important relationship immediately for the sake of strength. What do you think we are!"

Facing the king with the highest status in the Magic Kingdom, Jieshi had already lost the coolness he should have, and reflexively vented all his inner dissatisfaction.

At the same time, he very much agrees with his instinctive dislike, and the disgust he felt when he first saw the king is definitely not an illusion.

"Don't worry, we will try our best to use your body's potential."

From the pitch-black space revealed a subtle smile, the same smile as usual, it was Jieshi's disgusting smile that would make him sick whenever he saw it.

"Your Majesty, you are a madman."

Selfish to the point of numbness and fear, Jieshi really doesn't want to talk to this dangerous person again, but since he is already a criminal and a criminal with no future, Jieshi understands that in the end at least he will To spit out a bad breath.

"Strength and profit are the inherent purposes of the Magic Kingdom. If it is a lunatic to follow such principles, then I am a lunatic standing at the top."

He didn't get annoyed by this, and kept his usual calm, whispering to Jieshi in a way that was almost impossible to blurt out outside.

tread.

Turned around and made a slight stomping sound, then stopped as if thinking of something.

"By the way, the day you became the glory test subject of the Magic Kingdom happened to be the wedding day of the head of the Lei family and the eldest daughter of the Ice family. If you want, I can bless them for you."

"What did you say?"

"I think your spirit should be able to understand a little bit. Yan, who usually sticks with you, is going to have a wedding with God. The house wine game between you and Yan is over."

Click.

Jieshi grasped the long iron stick with both hands, allowing himself to be ruptured by the rubbing of the frozen skin, several streaks of blood flowed out from the palm of his hand, forming bloodstains and sliding down the iron stick.

Eyes full of resentment were fixed on the king.

On the surface, he has nothing to do with the eldest daughter of the Feng family, but when Jieshi heard the news, his heart seemed to be completely hollowed out. Both his spirit and thinking were provoked wantonly by the king.

"I really want to thank the Kingdom of Swords for sending you to our Magic Kingdom so that I can find you without any trouble. I also want to thank you for the great cause of our country, Jieshi."

"You, what do you know? Quickly explain everything you said!"

tread.

Not wanting to stay in this smelly space full of corpses and kitchen waste for another second, a slight breeze surrounded the king's body after the king finished speaking.

Then disappeared.

It seems that the king's body is not a physical entity, but a "phenomenon" with the same nature as the breeze. The moment the breeze disperses, the king's figure completely disappears from space.

It's not hiding or moving and escaping from the ground, but it completely disappears the signs of breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow in the blood vessels of the creature.

It's real teleportation.

"Lin Tian and Zi! Come back to me, come back to me, and explain clearly!"

The only person left was living in the dark space, and the howling of his weak body caused several weak echoes, even so, there was no sound to respond to the sound.
