Chapter 132 The felons who are escorted every year
Chapter 132: Felons Escorted Every Year
Not long after the waitress left, she led the burly Ao Lie in.
"See Your Majesty, Prince." Ao Lie knelt on one knee and said.
"Pingshen, Commander Ao has worked hard on this journey." The Dragon God waved his hand.
Liang Xi walked over and put her hand on Dragon God's shoulder: "Brother Ao, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Ao Lie was not there when Liang Xi came to Longcheng. Now that he came out of the library, Ao Lie came back. Liang Xi was very curious about what prisoner Ao Lie went to escort?
Seeing that Liang Xi and Ao Lie hadn't seen each other for a long time, Dragon God simply said, "You can report those things to me later, and go out with the prince to talk first."
"Yes." Ao Lie bowed to the Dragon God, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.
After bidding farewell to the Dragon God, as soon as Liang Xi and Ao Lie arrived outside, Ao Lie said excitedly: "Prince, I heard that you returned to Dragon City when I was outside. What are you here for this time?"
Liang Xi talked about the fact that she was targeted by the King of Zhendong. Ao Lie had been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he nodded repeatedly and praised Taoist Qingyun for making Liang Xi temporarily leave the Tianling Gate.
"By the way, Brother Ao, I heard from the guards in the palace that you went to escort the prisoner. Why does the prisoner want you to go there in person, and it takes so long?" Liang Xi asked curiously.
It took four months, and the commander of the guards in the Dragon Palace personally escorted these prisoners. I'm afraid it's not easy.
However, Ao Lie's words were beyond Liang Xi's expectation: "They are not very powerful prisoners, but they are quite pitiable. That's good. I'll take you to see them and you will know."
Neither of them had anything important to do for the time being, so Liang Xi nodded in agreement.
The Dragon Palace is located in the middle of Dragon City, and the Dragon Clan's prison is at a corner of Dragon City. It is a tall and large fine iron building that is airtight and can be seen from a long distance away.
Along the way, she saw dragon warriors holding steel weapons. Liang Xi wondered why the dragons could have iron weapons, while the Xiya Hai tribe could only use fish bone coral as weapons.
But he understood it when he saw the blacksmith shop.
Although Dragon City is in the deep sea, due to the establishment of a layer of barrier, Dragon City is as dry as land, which is completely different from the West Yahai tribe who are always immersed in water.
Dragon God is not much different from any other city on the mainland.
For this reason, you can naturally forge iron and refine weapons in Dragon City.
The reason why the Xiyahai tribe cannot make fire is because they do not have a barrier that can repel water, and the rare water-repellent bead in the world is not in their hands yet. Instead, it was given to Liang Xi by the sharks, and now Liang Xi stuffed it in
In Erya's arms.
Otherwise, Erya wouldn't be able to survive in a dry environment like Longcheng for too long.
The dragon clan's prison seemed to be cast from a single piece of steel. A moat four meters high and ten meters wide was dug on all sides. There were ferocious fish that could eat people in it, and there was only an iron rope bridge for passage.
The iron walls are more than twenty meters high, and every few meters there is a crossbow capable of shooting a series of arrows to prevent prisoners from rioting.
The design of the entire prison makes people despair just by looking at it.
Seeing Ao Lie's waistband, the dragon warrior in charge of the alert drove four giant beasts over three meters tall to stir the wheel, lowering the suspension bridge with a creak, and smashing a deep mark on the ground.
When Ao Lie arrived at the Dragon Clan Prison, no one questioned or checked him along the way.
After announcing that he was here to see the prisoners who had just been escorted, someone from the prison went to make arrangements.
Liang Xi didn't wait long before following Ao Lie into a long corridor.
The entire corridor is paved with thick stone slabs that are one person high and one person wide. Molten iron is poured into the gaps so that not even a needle can be inserted into them.
There is a burning torch every five meters on the wall, illuminating the entire passage as bright as day.
However, despite the torch lighting, the passage still gave Liang Xi an oppressive feeling that made her breathless.
Ao Lie seemed to understand Liang Xi's feelings, and explained with a smile: "We in the Dragon Clan generally don't have people of our own clan imprisoned here. In addition to some prisoners of war, there are also prisoners who are imprisoned here every year.
The whole body is made of fine iron, so it is impossible to escape, nor is it possible to dig a passage underground, because the foundation made of slate and fine iron goes all the way to fifty meters underground."
Liang Xi nodded, and after walking through the passage with Ao Lie, she felt that a huge boulder weighing on her heart had been moved aside.
At the end of the passage is where the prisoners are held.
Just as Ao Lie said, most of the rooms where prisoners were kept were empty. Liang Xi took a closer look at the places where people were locked up occasionally. None of the prisoners had dragon horns on their heads. They should not be from the dragon clan.
These prisoners were all huddled in the corner of the room. When they saw Liang Xi and Ao Lie passing by, they were so frightened that they shrank back in, their faces full of horror.
"It seems like this prison can really drive people crazy." Liang Xi said in her heart.
Seeing that Ao Lie was still leading him forward, he asked curiously: "Brother Ao, isn't the prisoner you want to show me here?"
Ao Lie turned his head and smiled: "Those prisoners are given special care. If you walk outside for a while, you will see them."
Liang Xi stopped talking and continued walking with Ao Lie, while paying attention to the surrounding terrain.
As the two of them went deeper, Liang Xi noticed that the sentries became more and more strict, and the guards' weapons became more and more sophisticated.
Liang Xizheng was wondering why the prisoners were so cautious. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of his eyes. After walking a few steps, it suddenly became clear that they had arrived at a stone square behind the prison.
The square is very large, with an open-air design. It is surrounded by tall walls that scream despair. The black arrow holes on the wall are shining with cold light and are pointed at the square. Every few steps on the wall, there is an expressionless dragon guard holding a hand.
The spear looked down.
Liang Xi looked around and found that the square was filled with large stones. There were still traces of manual excavation on the stones, and some tools were thrown messily on the ground.
It seems like this is a place where prisoners are put to work.
"Prince, it's right in front." Ao Lie pointed to the distance and said to Liang Xi.
Liang Xi looked intently, and saw a group of people in the distance waving their pickaxes and hitting rocks, and there was a clanking sound.
"Those are the prisoners you personally escorted?" Liang Xi asked, "Are they going to work as soon as they arrive?"
Ao Lie did not speak, but led Liang Xi straight away.
