Alien world

Chapter 876 107. Archmage Prisoner

Annan thought there would be a lot to say after the reunion...

The battle in the Snow Mountain Fortress changed Tasia. She no longer expressed her love for weeds, mountain flowers, and mountain streams as before. She became taciturn, while Brino Janna was a complete fighting maniac.

But it doesn't matter, just like Tasia said, after the war is over, when they return to Liberty City, they will have plenty of time to appreciate the beauty of this world.

"If you have nothing to do, come and do something for me."

Brino Janna stared at Annan who had nothing to say and didn't want to leave.

"what's up?"

"Take us back to the snowy mountains."

After the words fell, the Janna people around the training ground looked at Anan.

Annan was no longer the young lord who felt embarrassed when others stared at him, and asked in confusion: "Why me?"

Compared to the Laurentian family, which was unable to help, Annan was more willing to invest his energy in his future family fortune.

As the mage city of the Kingdom of Dimon, there should be many spellcasters among the prisoners held in the dungeons here, right?

Back then, I was scolded by my old patriarch for not having the strength, and now that I have the strength, I am still scolded by my old patriarch. Isn’t that strength in vain?

Annan used sophistry and his status as legion commander to successfully obtain the power to deal with the prisoners. Of course, the success was also related to the fact that two Holy Grail Knights endorsed him.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. I saw people from the Lawrencet family before. They should be somewhere in the city."

"I'll try, but I don't know when..."

Brinor Janna sighed: "Do you think I know anyone else?"

Annan is the only one who has hope of taking them back to the snowy mountains.

Taking Liberty City back to Xingyue Bay is still just an idea.

"So can you stop saying things like this all the time..."

"understood."

Annan paid attention to the mountain city.

Magic images, recovery potions, and invitations to visit Liberty City, Annan won the favor of these "forgotten people" as quickly as possible.

And you don’t have to think about it to know how the grumpy old patriarch will ridicule you, although there is no malice...

"It doesn't matter, just agree. After this battle is over, the Janna family will also go to your city."

It seems that as long as this war is over, they will become members of Liberty City——

As for the danger…

"Do you think it's more dangerous for a mountain city to be breached, or for a group of prisoners to escape?"

This is indeed the case. Not only spell casters, but most of the prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon of the mountain city are extremely vicious or wanted professionals. There are even three great mages deep in the dungeon.

The old patriarch and the Lawrencet family withdrew from Breeze City before the great escape. Annan had no intention of meeting him. After all, their strengths were no longer equal.

Apart from them, Annan naturally took over Shadowsong and her prisoner soldiers. But the total number is less than 300 people, and professionals cannot even assemble a team of 100 people.

"First take me to the cell where the Archmage is imprisoned."

Annan said, following the jailer to the deepest part of the dungeon.

It deserves to be called a city of mages, even the dungeons are decorated with magic-forbidden runes.

"There was no such thing before. Mages were still mages even if they became prisoners. But then some unruly guys were casting spells in the dungeon, building houses for themselves, and looking for girls. All mages were deprived of the right to cast spells."

Does this count as one grain of mouse droppings spoiling a pot of porridge?

"What crimes have the prisoners here committed?" "Uh... they are all serious crimes ranging from decades to life imprisonment."

There was no death penalty, and Annan thought that the prisoners here were not yet extremely vicious... But in fact, there were no serious crimes against mages in the mountain city.

In fact, what they did was not innocent at all, such as trying to fuse limbs and organs of different races with each other. Another example is manipulating a noble who has offended him to go without clothes and cause trouble in the street.

As expected of a mage.

Some of them are really damnable, such as the genius who invented the steady-state small teleportation gate, but this one used it to transmit a certain part of his body into the bodies of some women——

Damn it, it’s really embarrassing for mages. This kind of thing is worse than even warlocks. Warlocks can at least use charm!
"What crime has the Archmage Lloyd we are going to see now committed?"

Annan asked when they were approaching the depths of the dungeon.

"His crime is..." the jailer pulled out a roll of parchment, "stealing dragon eggs and conducting forbidden experiments, and being imprisoned forever."

"Forbidden experiment?"

"It is said that dragon eggs are mixed with eggs of other creatures or something..." The jailer is just a "Muggle", so the description is also very Muggle.

"This is a great experiment..."

A whisper sounded from the depths of the dungeon where the magic lamp was lit.

Annan met this Lloyd - his cell was decorated like a bedroom, and even had a wall of bookshelves.

"Oviparous organisms are in chaos in the early embryonic stage. We can make up for the slow development of dragons by injecting different substances into dragon eggs... Alas, you don't understand even if I tell you."

Annan felt that his idea was correct, but he was just taking the wrong path...

Let's just say that not even demons are capable of such a thing - they'd rather stir up a bunch of eggs in their stomachs.

"But the biological genes... that is, the biological characteristics of the dragon family are all in the dragon eggs. If you mix other eggs in, won't it contaminate the dragon family's... "biological characteristics"?" Annan asked.

"Hey, can you understand?"

Lloyd, who was sitting in front of the bookshelf, raised his head. His long hair and beard were neatly tied up, and he looked nothing like a crazy alchemist.

"I can understand a little bit...so did the dragon egg you stole hatch in the end?"

"Of course, I'm fully prepared!" Lloyd expressed his pride as if his favorite work was mentioned, "But as you said, the copper dragon turned into a monster after hatching..."

The target of the experiment was still a metal dragon... No wonder he was sentenced to permanent imprisonment. With a little carelessness, Lloyd can bring big trouble to the mountain city, and maybe even himself...

That's fine, Annan won't have to feel bad if he dies in the hands of the devil.

"It's you!"

The jailer suddenly screamed, startling Annan.

"It turns out that you released that evil dragon beast!"

Only then did Annan realize that Lloyd had actually succeeded in half: the dragon beast he corrupted, which was more twisted and hateful than the bone dragon, grew into a young dragon in a very short period of time and had some impact on the city of mage.

Annan, who had almost figured out the situation, asked, "Do you want to come out?"

"Are you interested in my experimental results?"

"No...another thing. Demons are coming to the mountain city. I think even prisoners want to resist the demons, right?"

"Give me freedom and I will help you." Lloyd was just a little crazy, but not stupid. He knew that Annan wanted to use him.

"make a deal."

Annan motioned to the jailer to open the cell door.

"Let's go see what's so special about the other two archmages."
