Overall, the area of ​​this palace is not too large.

However, the main building that stands in the center of the palace and is like a towering castle is no longer a scale that ordinary nobles can afford.

This kind of castle costs a considerable amount of money just for long-term maintenance.

"It seems that I have used the money from the treasury to repair the palace recently... I have obviously no money to suppress the rebellion for the army." Wien sighed.

If it weren't for the cheap father-in-law Franz's efforts, and Wien also helped a little with the help of singing and ceremonies, perhaps financial conflicts would have broken out now.

Just like that magnificent and gorgeous building, although this country still looks strong, the inspiration for decline has long been laid.

After Richard is crowned king, will all this turn around?

Wien didn't know, but he hoped it would be.

Based on his past experiences when he came to the palace and combined with his current on-site investigation, Wien confiscated each of the functional areas in the dark.

Generally speaking, cells specially used to detain special personnel are habitually built underground.

This is not due to whose personal preferences, but to ensure that the objective requirements of powerful magicians can be blocked.

Under the guidance of this law, Wien successfully discovered the secret prison in the palace.

To his surprise, the cell happened to be located under the underground library of the royal palace, but the entrance was not in the same building.

Speaking of which, when he dived into the dungeon of Chapman Manor, he noticed that the place was very similar to the underground library of the palace. At that time, he simply thought that the way of digging holes underground was basically

It's similar.

Now it seems that maybe the same group of people who built both sides may be the first to build them.

As a major palace, the defense here is not as relaxed as in Chapman's manor. As soon as Wien sneaked into it, he sensed a faint magic fluctuation from almost all directions.

Roughly estimated, there are at least ten magicians here, not including the royal enshrines guarding the upper library.

If you make a big fuss here, it may not be so easy to solve the problem.

However, he didn't think about bringing Bulvo and the others out. As long as he could find a gap to shift gears and say a few words to the target person, he would be considered to be a complete task.

He quietly hid in the shadows and waited.

As time passed little by little, he was constantly taking advantage of the opportunity of internal guards patrolling, looking for the figures of Bulvo and others while going deeper.

...

In a prison surrounded by some metal-like wall on all sides, Bulvo sat cross-legged on the ground silently.

There is nothing else here, even the bed and pillows are integrated with the wall, and the texture is very hard.

The only place with a little gap is a window that only opens at a specific time, from which meals will be delivered every day.

Here is a cell built by the royal family specifically for the detention of vital magician criminals.

It is said that the church sent people from the Holy See to cast at the request of the royal family.

Unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to enter such a place...

Burwo smiled with a dismal face.

He didn't even understand why he had come to this point. In just one day he went from being a noble city guard commander to a prisoner with no dignity.

He obviously has so many things that have not been completed, and he has such an important mission waiting for him to fulfill.

Unexpectedly, my great cause died unexpectedly at this point.

So far, he has not been able to see His Majesty the King.

And his mentality also changed from anger and injustice at the beginning to confusion and panic.

What exactly happened outside?

Because I am not so flawless, when I cannot receive any feedback from the outside world, I will inevitably be afraid that someone will reveal some secrets that are related to life and death.

In this state, every minute and every second in confinement are particularly painful.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but the food delivery window in the prison cell has been opened.

Bulvo heard the sound, but there was no reaction.

He knew that all the guards here were loyal to His Majesty the King, and he would never talk to him for a word.

However, this time it seems different.

"Dong, dun..."

From the window, two gentle taps came.

Bulwo was stunned at first, then looked up at the food delivery window in extreme surprise.

The other side is black and can't see anything.

...Are you hallucinating yourself?

But soon he realized that all this was not an illusion and he had a turning point!

"Bulvo...Bulvo?" Ecos's voice came from the other side of the window. "Can you hear it?"

Recognizing Ecos' voice, he got up in extreme delight.

"I can hear it, I'm inside!" He deliberately controlled his volume to avoid making too loud noises.

But as soon as he replied, he suddenly remembered something and his face stopped.

Wait, how did Ecos come in?

Could it be that she was invited by His Majesty the King again, so she was ordered to find out information from me?

Oops!

Mrs. Chely is in danger!

Outside the window, Wien didn't know that Bulvo had made up some strange plots for him. He felt relieved when he heard the response inside.

Although this prison seems to have adopted a special method to cause a certain deviation in one's perception, the impact is limited in the end, and it will only take a little more time to survive.

Setting up a magic array on the spot to avoid being accidentally cut off from the back. Then Vien continued to sneak into the prison with the help of the shadow.

A shadow flashed, and the scene inside clearly appeared before Wien.

Seeing such a large living person jumping out of the shadow, Bulvo was startled.

"you……"

He stared at Wayne with his eyes.

"It's me." Wien lifted the corner of the mask and showed half of his face to confirm his identity.

"Why, can't you recognize it?"

"No...no."

Bulvo was not surprised to be unable to recognize Ecos, but asked in confusion: "What is your identity? This magical ability...is very strange."

He frowned and thoughtful, as if he was plundering all the relevant matters in his memory.

"It's not too late to think about it alone when I finish talking about the main business." Wien interrupted his thoughts without hesitation.

I don't have that much time to spend here.

"The rumors are rumoring outside, you suddenly killed Chapman's relatives wildly. Is this true?" he asked directly.

However, facing this problem, Bulvo was stunned for a moment.

"I...I don't know."
