Chapter 142f๐ซโฏe๐ธ๐๐n๐ัต๐l. ๐๐๐ถ
Thorn Flower Prison also known as โThe First Prison of Sylviaโ!
The fame of the prison has overshadowed some of the ancient noble families. In addition to relevant personnel, only a select few knew about its location.
At the moment, a giant steel carriage shook once in a while as it moved. The cage was covered with a black cloth and tied in different place with rope to prevent the wind to opened it.
A total of twelve official knights from the magistrate were in charge of escorting the prisoners.
Even though they were not match to Knights of Light but twelve of the knights of magistrate were equivalent to a thousand guards army combat potential.
The carriage stopped as the black fabric covering it was lifted off. A figure sitting cross-legged was revealed.
Dudian had been hungry for seven days in the detention house of the former prison. His hair was scattered, his skin was pale. At the moment his hands and feet were bound by a sturdy metal chain, limit his action.
โGet down,โ One of the knights lightly shouted.
He raised his head and looked around the carriage. He eyes flashed as he saw the structure called Thron Flower Prison. The prison was located in the middle of lake. At the moment, in addition to aisle that connected the land mass to prison all the other sides were water. A huge shadow was faintly visible as it swam in the lake.
โThere is nothing to see! Come Down!โ The young knight chided him.
Dudian slowly stood up and patted the dust off his body. He went off the carriage.
โGo!โ The knight next to him hold down onto Dudianโs shoulder.
Dudian stared at him coldly, โIโll go.โ
The knight frowned: โThen walk briskly! โ
Dudian stepped onto the man-made aisle constructed of stones. In the front there was a huge black castle-like prison. As he walked the metal chain bound to his ankles were dragged and made ringing sounds.
thump!
Suddenly waves poured out from the lake next to the aisle. Twor mete long fish jumped out of the water while an eight meter long crocodile-like monster crest into the sky after it. The fish was dangling in its mouth as it sink down to the lake.
Dudian carefully looked at it slightly squinting his eye.
โDonโt look at it!โ The knight next to him sneered.
Dudian quietly took back his eyes as he continued to walk.
They reached the end of the aisle. Top part of the prison was surrounded by gardens. At the moment, many servants were cutting down the lawn and watering the garden.
โGo in, the prison is under the garden,โ said one of the knights.
Along the stone trail in the garden they went into the gate of the castle prison.
They entered a luxurious and spacious lobby. Dudian saw seven or eight jailers sitting in the lobby, eating snacks, drinking coffee, chatting and joking with each other. If they didnโt have uniform and badges on their shoulders, Dudian would have thought that he was in a high-end restaurant in commercial district.
People in the lobby looked at them. Few of them had interesting smiles on their faces as they looked at Dudian.
โIts my first to see such a small one. โ
โHe is my dish.โ
โThere is a new plaything.โ
โLast time, it was too weak to play as he died after several times.โ
Dudianโs hearing was extraordinary so he could hear clearly all the whispering sounds of conversation happening in the lobby.
โQuickly take him down!โ One of the jailerโs sitting close to the door ordered.
A knight ordered: โCome with me.โ They went through a dark corridor that led them into underground.
The basement was an interrogation room full of tools for torture. All of them were stained with blood, some of them had remains of flesh on them.
Dudian looked gloomy.
The jailer sitting at a counter next to the interrogation room saw Dudian and others coming.: โnew one?
The knight said to him: โThis is his information. We are here to give him to you. โ Then he handed out a document to the young jailer.
Prison guard took a look at documents: โHis crime is theft?! Are you sure there is nothing wrong? A thief has been sent to us?โ However, when he checked the file below, he realized the circumstances, โOo, poor little guy.โ The guard didnโt have synpathy but gloating on his face. Afterwards he put the documents on top of counter and said to Dudian: โLittle guy, take off your clothes.โ
Dudian slightly frowned and didnโt comply.
โWell, well, well. Who we got here! I havenโt eating all day long so letโs cut the formalities.โ The guard stood up and went to the side. He brought up a big bucket of water and splashed onto Dudianโs head.
Dudianโs head was down as he slightly clenched fists.
Jailer youth caught glimpse of Dudianโs fists and sneered: โHe is angry now. Do you want to get revenge? I like ones like you. Who think they are tough. They seem to be very hard to break at firstโฆ Now, I will make you squat and check out your ass. Let me see if there is anything hidden inside!โ
Dudian looked up at him.
โLittle devil, its better to comply with them.โ Knight from the magistrate who was standing behind Dudian, seemed to know the inside information. He had a trace of regret as he looked at Dudian: โAlthough you are to here for reprieval of your crimes. But after you enter this place, basically there is no room for return. Its best not to provoke these distorted devils or else they will torture you to death. You better listen to them.โ
There was a touch of smile on jailer youthโs face who heard knightโs words.: โYou are totally wrong. In this prison we are not devils but holy angels.โ
The knightโs brows wrinkled.
Youth jailer smiled: โIf you ever commit a crime and get distributed to here. I promise you, Iโll love you!โ
โI hope so.โ The knight sneered.
The jailer recovered his eyes and looked at Dudian who was standing in front. His face sand: โKid, are you deaf or dumb? Donโt you understand what I have told you? Why are you so stubborn?โ He grabbed a steel pipe from side and hit Dudianโs shoulder.
Bang! Dudian felt the pain and looked at jailer youth like a ferocious beast.
puff!
One punch was enough to make young jailer to fly. Sounds of broken bones echoed out as jailer youthโs body inverted out and hit the torture device.
โstop!โ
โstop!โ
The knights quickly scolded him and approached from behind to pull Dudian.
Dudian roared and waved his hand. The knight who was about to pull him was grabbed by Dudian and thrown to the side. He rolled over and get up. The knight was stunned at his strength.
The other knight who was the leader shoved a kick to Dudianโs back. He was fast and had great strength. Dudianโs turned but failed to react. He was kicked and fell to the ground.
At this time, the other knights of magistrate rushed into action and pressed Dudian onto ground.
Dudianโs eyes were red as he was tightly staring at the knights who had knocked him down. Dudian was struggling but his arms, legs even his neck was tightly held the knights. He was almost out of breath let alone to break free from their grasp. Although the common formal knights of the magistrate were not his opponents but at the moment they had swarmed up. It was difficult to him to match them.
Moreover, the leader of the knights had the strength similar to a intermediate level hunter.
At this time, the jailer who was punched by Dudian stood up and came to him.
The jailer youth was sweating in pain as he looked at Dudian and growled: โKid, Iโm going to peel your skin!โ He was too emotional as his chest injury was affected. The jailer spouted blood and actually fainted.
One of the knightโs asked their leader: โWhat should we do now?โ
โSend him to the hospital and inform the others,โ replied the leader.
About four or five guard of the prison had come down the corridor. They didnโt expect that the new little guy had so much power that so many knights would be needed to keep him in check.
โYou should take him to cell! We gotta go back,โ Leader of knights said to the oncoming prison guards.
They looked at each other and went around to find chains. One of them told to knights: โHelp us to lock up this kid on cross.โ
Six knights who were holding Dudian down looked at their leader.
The leader of knights frowned but nodded.
Six knights who were locked on Dudianโs hands, feet and head moved him to the cross. Firstly, Dudianโs hands were locked to the iron cross. Secondly they put a steel hoop around his chest. Dudianโs height was smaller than an adultโs so his feet were locked close to the ground.
Dudian struggled but the six knights were experienced. They had locked him from joints so he couldnโt muster up power. He helplessly looked as they locked him to the fram.
โLetโs go.โ The leader knew what was going to happen to he ordered the other to leave.
The other trials who saw the prison guards take up whips were disgusted and followed their leader up the stairs. They only heard a โbangโ sound which echoed after the door was shut.
All five of the prison guards looked at struggling Dudian. One of them laughed.: โNo need to struggle, kid.โ He pulled up the whip which he was holding. There were sharp nails attached to it.
Dudian stopped struggling as he saw the parts where he was tied to cross showed no signs of loosening.
โI want to live!โ
โLive!โ
He continued to remind himself in his mind.
Puff! The whip in jailerโs hand moved and hit him. A sharp pain suddenly invaded all his body. It didnโt even take a moment when the whip hit Dudian second time.
โScream, ah, ah, scream โฆ โฆ โฆ โฆโ jailor cried in excitement as he used the whip.
Dudian lowered his head as he clenched his teeth.
The other four jailers laughed.
โI like this one. Pay attention to points!โ (TL notes: they are playing a game based on who will hit how many times)
โGet the spikes! โ
โGood.โ
One of them went over a box, opened it and took out two finger long metal spikes. They were full of dust so he just blew it off. It must have not been used for some time so there was a lot of rust on the spikes but the prison guard didnโt care. He picked the hammer from the desk and walked over to Dudian.
โIts been so long that the spikes have rusted.โ Another one picked up the spike, he shook his head and laughed.
โCome on, hold him!โ the guard holding the hammer said.
Several others went over and hold down Dudian. The man with the hammer put up spikeโs sharp edge few inches below Dudianโs shoulder. He raised the hammer and hit the end of the spike.
Puff! The sharp spike pierced into Dudianโs flesh.
What is pain?
He had experience multiple injuries outside the giant wall. But nothing like this.
Bang!
The young man raised his hammer and once again hit the spike.
Dudian could not help but scream. He screamed in agony.
The guard began to smile as they heard Dudianโs screams. For a time only mournful screams echoed out from the torture chamber, as well as sounds of hammer hits.
Both spikes were nailed several inches below Dudianโs shoulder blade. In this severe pain, Dudian felt that he was going insane. He found that because of pain his mind couldnโt remember anything. He couldnโt focus his thoughts to remember sadness, disappointment. Everything was gone, only pain existed.
The guard apparently werenโt going to stop there. They picked up the torture instruments and continued to inflict injuries on Dudianโs body.
A few hours later, the guard dragged blood dripping body of Dudian through a corridor to one layer below.
It was dimly lit in here. There were yellow oil lamps on the wall. The cells covered in iron pillars and were defected from each other.
โHey, a new comer?โ
โPoor little guy. Smell of the blood ah โฆ โฆโ
โSo small? Gee! Look at this smal tender piece of meat.โ
โHey, Sire, please send this little guy to our cell.โ
Excited sounds came from both sides. Some people whistled out.
Dudianโs vaguely sensed what they were saying but couldnโt understand anything.
A voice echoed out close to his ear: โWelcome to our little happy family.โ
It was the moment voice echoed that Dudian felt he had been thrown onto a chilled ground. His cheeck was attached to floor. The smell from ground clinged to his nose. It was like someone had sprinkled the floor with urine. Because of his habit of cleanliness he instinctively wanted to raise his head but the body was full of pain and couldnโt move.
โClickโ, the cageโs door was locked.
Prison guards left with smile.
Suddenly, he felt a big hand holding onto his hair and grab him up. Dudianโs vision was blurred as he couldnโt see the details but general structure of a fat face. The man grinned as he said to him: โDevil! What kind of a crime you have commited to be locked up in here? Great though! Great! Ahโ
Dudian gasped: โLet me down.โ
โWhat do you say? I canโt hear ya.โ The obese man deliberately leaned his ear towards Dudianโs mouth.
Dudian gasped but didnโt say anything.
Fatty put Dudian next to a mat. Then he stood up and untied his pants in front of Dudian.
Dudian reluctantly opened his eyes and saw the lower body of the fatty. He understood what fatty wanted to do. His brain awakened but his body was painful. He wanted to react but especially because of the spikes he couldnโt move his arms.
Fatty saw that Dudian had opened his eyes and said: โItโs your turn so enjoy it.โ
Dudian stared at him: โI guarantee that you will lose it if you dare to put this thing in my mouth.โ
Fattyโs face was cold: โI will instantly smash your head if you dare to bite.โ
Dudian stared back at him, โBelieve me, when I am in pain the first reaction is to clench my teeth!
