Can't I develop my own character?

"Fuck, isn't this Cazorla Prison? Why are you here?"

Chapter 31 Hidden Career Clues and Interception

Cazorla Prison is a very famous place in Empress Online because it hides a very powerful hidden profession.

However, to unlock this profession, you must complete the Berman City storyline and defeat the final boss.

Because this place is where the Blood Cult imprisoned sacrifices. After killing Bill, you will start the mission to wipe out the remnants of the Blood Cult. Only according to the mission will you come to Cazorla Prison.

In reality, Cazorla Prison was once used by the city of Berman to hold prisoners. Berman was originally located on the border of the Empire and was constantly at war. Later, due to the expansion of the Empire, Berman was relocated to the interior, and Cazorla gradually lost its purpose.

After hundreds of years, this place has long been abandoned, and even few local people in Berman City know of its existence.

The new character's birthplace is here, Ryan is both happy and speechless.

If you can get clues to the hidden profession, the value of this character will skyrocket.

But now I'm locked up in prison and can't go anywhere.

'Charlie' stood up and walked around the cell to make sure no one had forgotten to lock the cell key.

'It's no use, little girl. We can't get out.'

The person leaning against the wooden railing next to him whispered.

'Xia Li' turned her gaze and found that the other person was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with dull eyes and a face full of vicissitudes and fatigue.

"Were you captured?"

'Aren't you? We're all going to die, killed by those damned infidels.'

'I don't know, I seem to have forgotten I was here.'

"Then you are really lucky. Sometimes forgetting is also a kind of happiness. At least you don't have to worry about it."

The middle-aged man muttered, and suddenly moved his body, raised his head and looked at "Xia Li" carefully.

'You look a lot like my daughter. She's also young like you, with beautiful long hair... Do you remember your name?'

'Charlie.'

'Shirley...ah, what a nice name. Poor child.'

The middle-aged man looked sad, "Maybe you still have hope of getting out of here. They treat you very specially."

'Am I special?'

"Yes, at least that's what I think." The middle-aged man said, "They locked you up here alone and gave you much better food than we do every day. But maybe this is also a misfortune. Who knows? It's really heartbreaking to see you. Would you like to hear about my daughter and me?"

【1: Be a quiet listener. 】

[2: When I get older, I can’t stand hearing other people’s happy stories.]

Triggered the mission?

Ryan's eyelids twitched.

Because there is no plot line about Cazorla Prison in the game, he has no idea what this guy is doing.

It won't hurt you anyway, so just listen to what they say.

[His name is Edward, a university professor, with a beautiful and sensible daughter named Ellie. Their family has always been happy and harmonious, until the pagans set their sights on Edward.]

Some people in this world live in misfortune, others in ignorance. Dying at the hands of pagans is a form of ignorant misfortune. Edward still doesn't know why he was captured.

After half an hour.

"Ah, thank you. I feel much better after hearing what you said..." Edward breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly took off a small ornament hanging around his neck.

"Here's to you. If you can get out, please tell my daughter Ellie that I've gone a long way."

【You have obtained the Blade of Karut.】

A very small cross sword, the material of which cannot be seen, but it is very hard.

"This is a family heirloom. My grandfather told me it was a treasure, but I still haven't figured out its use over the years. If you can get out, take her to find Ellie. My daughter will definitely believe you."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he leaned against the wooden railing with his eyes closed, like an NPC who had completed a task.

"What inheritance? Isn't this just a mission item?"

The middle-aged man couldn't recognize him, but Ryan could.

【Kalut's Blade】

[Quality: None]

【Effect: Don't throw it away, it might have unexpected effects.】

"I didn't expect the Blade of Karut to be here."

Ryan was delighted.

This thing is the 'key' to unlock the hidden profession, but in the game, when the protagonists arrived at the Cazorla Prison, everyone inside had already died, and the Blade of Karut was hidden in the corner of a cell.

Ryan couldn't remember which cell it was. If this person hadn't given the thing to 'Xia Li', he would have probably missed it.

However, although there is a 'key', the Blade of Karut is not a relic for job transfer. The relic is in another cell.

"I remember it should be on the lowest level of cells in Cazorla Prison. This is definitely not the lowest level. The question is how do I get out?"

Although there were no guards, the cell was locked, and there was nothing around for him to use... Wait, who said there was nothing?

Ryan threw the coffee spoon in his hand into his backpack, and the next second it appeared in Charlie's hand.

"Dig it in? A spoon is definitely not enough."

Ryan controlled 'Charlie' to check the structure of the cell. There seemed to be a glimmer of hope, provided that a larger and sharper golden shovel was used.

'Xia Li' turned around and looked at the people in other cells. She was at the very edge, with people only opposite and to the right, so the concealment was quite good.

The issue is...

"You've just started a small account and you're already undertaking such a large project?"

Ryan thought for a moment, but he was not too panicked. At worst, he could just die and come back tomorrow. This was the worst case scenario anyway, how much worse could it be?

If it really doesn't work, find an excuse to take the people from the Administrative Bureau and attack them, or use the Janus Gate to do something, provided that you can find this place.

Because there is not just one Cazorla prison but many, and it has been so long, few people know about it.

Never mind. At worst, I can just kill another small account. There are always more solutions than problems.

As for now...

Ryan left the cafe and found a place that sold shovels. He bought one and gave it to Charlie to dig slowly. He remembered that the place where he got the hidden profession should be on the lower floor. If they dug it through, everyone would be happy. If they couldn't dig it through, then they would wait for action here.

It was useless for her to force her way in by herself. The Blood Cult's people were not of good character, but their strength should not be underestimated.

When we returned to the cafe, Jack had also returned and was sitting in his previous seat looking around.

"Captain, Captain!" He waved, his face full of excitement. "Guess what I just discovered?"

Ryan asked, "Did the female sheriff leave the door unlocked when she went to the restroom?"

Jack was stunned for a moment, his face flushed red as he said, "How could I possibly know something like that? Even if I could become invisible... Well, it's not that. It's that Director Norman. I just saw him answer a phone call. It seems to be someone from the Dark Hand on the other end. They were discussing the attack on the train station with him!"

"Oh my god! I can't believe my ears. That guy is the director of the Administrative Bureau, but he's colluding with pagans to kill Her Royal Highness the Princess. This world is completely crazy!"

For a nineteen-year-old student, this explosive news was indeed shocking.

"Calm down, Jack. Now is not the time to be happy." Ryan said, "You can't convince everyone that there is something wrong with the Director of the Administrative Bureau with just one sentence. You have to find evidence."

"Ah yes, evidence, evidence... then what should we do?"

"Leave this matter to me. Your task now is to follow him and find out the Dark Hand's action plan. Only then can we help Director Jonathan."

It doesn't matter what happens to Norman, but since Adler has handed the matter over to him, it means that he will keep in touch with the Dark Hand.

"Be careful and stay away from any extraordinary people you meet," Ryan warned.

"Don't worry, Captain!"

Looking at Jack who left excitedly, Ryan opened his mouth, but there was no time to remind him a few more words.

Is this guy a little too excited?

This is not a good thing. Experience tells us that young people should not be too impulsive. Ryan was impulsive once yesterday, and the result was that Lin Qi lost his sister.

He left the cafe and, as agreed with Adler, went to get Norman's criminal evidence.

...

At twelve o'clock noon, Ryan successfully obtained the evidence.

A quick read revealed that Norman's crimes had reached a heinous level. This guy had been secretly in contact with the people of the Dark Hand, using his position to secretly transfer some prisoners to the other party.

Some of the people who attended the sacrifice at 228 Heding Street were Norman.

This alone is enough to put Norman on the grill.

Ryan continued flipping through the pages. Norman's crimes in these dozen pages included but were not limited to raising children, sheltering gangsters, murder, forcing women, etc. Bribery was a trivial matter for him.

He stored the evidence and returned to the cafe to find that Jack had not returned yet.

"Why so long?"

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any extraordinary people in the Public Security Bureau, so with Jack's abilities, there shouldn't be any problems.

After hesitating for a moment, Ryan walked towards the Sheriff's Headquarters.

At this time, sheriffs kept coming out and heading towards the train station to maintain order in advance.

Ryan showed his identity as the deputy captain of the East City Branch and was let in smoothly.

"I'm looking for Chief Norman."

He said to the sheriff who was in charge of reception.

"The director is out for something."

"Out? Where to?"

"I don't know."

Since Norman was not there, Jack would probably not stay in there any longer. Ryan left the headquarters with doubts, but was stopped by someone as soon as he left.

"Captain! I've been looking for you for so long!"

"Jack?"

Without saying a word, the extraordinary boy pulled Ryan aside and urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, or Norman will run away!"

"where?"

"Right over there?"

Ryan followed Jack around the main office gate to the back, and then saw Norman get into a car and drive away.

Although cars these days are not fast, they are faster than running on foot. However, Jack overheard where he was going in advance, and the two of them ran all the way. By the time they arrived at the destination, Ryan was almost exhausted.

On the other hand, Jack was fine. The extraordinary person's physical fitness and ability made him formidable.

"Is this... Dongcheng District?"

To be precise, it is the junction of Zhongcheng District and Dongcheng District. It is an old residential area that has not yet been developed, and large areas of abandoned houses can be seen everywhere.

The two found Norman's car and finally set their target on an abandoned factory in the distance.

This used to be a steel processing plant, but due to the expansion of the central city, the kind-hearted nobles could not bear to see the workers toiling day and night in the steel plant, so they forcibly closed the factory.

In the end, the city government moved the factory to the outskirts of the city, and the steel plant that once supported countless families was abandoned. As far as Ryan knew, the ownership of the land was later taken away by a nobleman.

Ryan took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was half past one.

"That guy must be communicating with the Dark Hand. I heard it myself. He also brought a map with him. It seems to be the layout of the train station. He must be trying to leak the information." Jack whispered, "What should we do, Captain? Is he going to do something big?"

"How? Just you and me?"

Ryan asked back.

Jack scratched his head: "How about I sneak in and take a look at the situation?"

Ryan didn't say anything. He was considering whether it was worth taking the risk. If he fought with the extraordinary people of the Dark Hand, he would have to use the abilities of the character card.

Then, can we win?
