The knight in the abyss

Chapter 24 Prisoners

With a loud bang, the prisoners in the cage came out, supporting each other.

"Congratulations on leaving that small cage and coming to a slightly larger one," Lancelot said with a wry smile.

"Thank you, Sir." The tall and thin man said gratefully, "At least we don't have to worry about the fate of becoming food."

"Well, that risk doesn't reduce that much. How long have you been locked up here?"

"I've only arrived three days."

"It's been two weeks."

"Me too."

"I don't remember, at least a month."

"I remember, I've been counting the days, you've been here for two months."

"I know you have a lot of questions, but an adult is waiting for you. She has some questions to answer. Please come with me."

Lancelot nodded and motioned for everyone to follow him out.

The prisoners timidly walked out of Kuka's lair, but the moment they saw Tijana, everyone's faces showed fear.

"Succubus, it's a succubus!"

"It's over, is this a trap? Are we going to be executed?"

"Wait a minute, this isn't the previous one..."

Tijana frowned at the noisy situation and let out a coquettish scolding:

"Shut up for me!"

Everyone fell silent immediately, as if their throats were suddenly strangled.

"Very good." Tijana nodded with satisfaction. "Which one of you has been here the longest?"

No one spoke, but everyone looked at one of them involuntarily.

Seeing that the man couldn't escape, he had to take a step forward and stammered:

"Charm... Lord Succubus, it's been half a year since I was caught, and I'm the longest one alive."

"I need you to answer a few questions for me."

Hearing Tijana's words, the man raised his head involuntarily, and was immediately attracted by the intoxicating eyes of the succubus lord, and his eyes gradually became dull.

"Now, you will answer my every question truthfully."

"Yes, my lord."

"How long have you been in the abyss?"

"27 weeks and 3 days, my lord."

"Have you seen this bound succubus before?"

"I have seen."

"Tell me about the scene at that time."

"We were being chased by a bunch of horrible monsters, and she chased them away and told us that walking along the river Styx would lead to a town built in the river where labor could be exchanged for shelter, but the orangutan on the way attacked I was caught by our team."

"I will send a maid to patrol around on a regular basis." Tijana explained expressionlessly, and she didn't know who she was speaking to.She went on to ask:

"Have you seen her later?"

"Yes, she used to come to the gorilla and go out together. We could sometimes hear her screaming from far away, and then the orangutan would come back here and eat one or two of us. Companion, it always eats in front of us..."

The extremely terrifying scene seemed to appear in front of this person again. His body began to tremble violently, and his spirit seemed to be about to collapse. The red light in Tijana's eyes was so bright that he managed to calm the person down, and then he His body softened, and he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Tijana's hand holding the whip jerked, and Grace was dragged to her feet.She let go of the whip that blocked Grace's mouth and asked coldly:

"Do you have any last words?"

Grace spit bloody spit at Tijana's boots fiercely.

"Torturing these people brings me endless joy, I know who you are, Tijana, once the demon lords find out you are..."

The whip that tied Grace suddenly gave off a burst of red light, and the words in her throat stopped abruptly. The flesh and blood, like melted butter, turned into a pool of sewage seeping into the ground; When Tijana retracted the whip, it turned into a mass of powder, and was blown away by the wind.

"I changed my mind." She shrugged at Lancelot. "Bring these people back, if they want to."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure of the succubus lord emitted a familiar light, and then disappeared in place.

Lancelot turned around and found that everyone was dumbfounded.He touched his nose and said:

"Do you have any questions to answer?"

People were stunned for a moment, and then everyone spoke together:

"Who are you? Who was that just now?"

"Where is this place?"

"Are we free? How do we get back?"

Lancelot helplessly looked at the chattering people and had to interrupt loudly:

"Don't worry! Come one by one!"

The prisoners who had just been freed fell silent again. They looked at me, I looked at you, and finally the tall and thin man who first greeted Lancelot was the first to speak:

"Thank you again for saving us. We haven't asked for your name, sir?"

"My name is Lancelot, as you can see, I'm a knight." Lancelot decided to give up promoting his professional title of knight.

"Thank you, Ser Lancelot. My name is Karalin, and I'm a scholar. Although I don't hold out much hope, I would like to ask if you have a way to bring us back to the main plane?"

"I'm ashamed, I'm also trying to find such a method." Lancelo replied with a wry smile.

"As expected." The man sighed, "Second question, please forgive my bluntness, but...are we your captives now?"

"Of course not, you can go wherever you want now." Lancelot hurriedly clarified, "But this is the abyss, so I'm afraid you have no choice."

"Yeah, ordinary people are like walking desserts on this plane, alas." Karalin sighed heavily again. "I know that there are indeed some neutral towns in the abyss, where mortals can survive as slaves. Can you tell us about the one you are going to send us to next?"

"Uh, in fact, I just arrived here not long ago, and I am in the process of evaluating the qualifications of mercenaries." Lancelot scratched his head, "Ordinary people can get asylum there as hired workers, you can guess without me telling you, it must be It's very hard and poorly paid jobs."

"I'm afraid that kind of job is not suitable for me." Karalin said depressedly, desperate for his future.

"There's a market area in the city, maybe you can find a shop willing to hire you?"

"Oh, I hope so... What happened to the two succubus just now?"

"The one who was killed was called Grace. Her lord thought she was kidnapped by the orangutan. The mission I received was to save her, but apparently they were lovers, and I hope no one can reveal this secret."

"What about the other succubus? Is that the lord's executive officer?"

"Oh, no, that's the lord himself, Tijana of Shuangqiao Town."

As soon as Lancelot's words came out, Karalin was struck by lightning, and his face was full of shock.

"You mean...the one just now is... the pearl on the banks of the Styx River, the lord of Shuangqiao Town who rose up like a legend 300 years ago, the legendary Tijana?"

"Well, it should be her." Lancelot was a little confused. "Is she so famous?"

"For a certain person, she is a superstar." Karalin bowed: "Re-introduce myself, my name is Karalin, I am a seeker of the Black Order, please make sure that I arrive at Shuanghuan safely. Bridgetown, please!"
