Chapter 425 In prison
Chapter 425 In Prison
Kingdom of Heaven, Royal palace
After Lyon surrendered himself, the soldiers began to handcuff his hands and take him away from there, of course with the close guard of the three Generals. Lyon has been designated as a war criminal, which is one of the dangerous reputations in a kingdom. It was only natural that his escort to the prison was so strict, and it was also a direct order from the king.
Meanwhile another. They could only give up seeing Lyon who had been taken away by the soldiers. They must not rebel to help Lyon directly because later they can be branded as traitors. Before that Lyon had also entrusted Ruby and Snowly to help him from the outside, one of which was to talk to Isabella about the events today. It is likely that he can help Lyon go free.

Back to Lyon.
He was currently on his way to the royal palace. From behind, thousands of players simply stood watching his departure. Lyon glimpsed, then returned facing forward.
Heh, this is troublesome. Why does this Quest continue. Should they be able to give a pause between one Quest and another Quest? My mind was drained after fighting Lich, and now I'm going to jail. They are no longer sane.
Lyon could only berate maki, letting out his vexation within. It's very troublesome for him. This quest turned out to be interconnected and again they instantly connected, without giving a pause for him to rest. He was exhausted after winning the war. Not a reward for the victory of the war he achieved, but rather punishment.
Not long after, Lyon and the retinue of soldiers had finally arrived in front of the palace. They went inside, and continued walking towards the basement. Gordon, Liseas, and Heraces, only drove Lyon to the entrance of the cellar after that, the soldiers who would take him straight to the prison.
The atmosphere down there is really dark. There were only a few fire lamps emanating by the roadside, and it was still not enough to shine all over the place. There was still a dark place he could not see. They kept walking, down the stairs. Over time the atmosphere there gets colder. There is also less and less illumination.
In the end they were standing at a cell door. It's a prison cell. Seen below it was a small cell with thick steel bars perforated boxes that became a wall, the same behind the cell, yet it was a wall that was entirely steel. He's a place where there's almost no light. Lyon who were there also shivered.
Eeee?! What the fuck is this place? This prison feels terrible. Am I going to stay here?
Then, one of the soldiers who took him away opened the cell door. The noise produced by the friction of the cell door is heard so loud that it deafens the ear. It also makes the atmosphere caused even more astounding. Lyon gulped his saliva because he felt the horror. It was the sound of a door that had not been opened for so long that they rusted and made a loud sound of friction.The other soldiers then brought Lyon inside and immediately threw him into the cell. Lyon fell asleep on the ground. Without a word, the soldiers locked the cell and left from there. He was alone there too.
"Oh, ouch, ouch .. you fucking guard. Can they enter me with even more courtesy??"
Lyon started to stand up from his place and started to clean his clothes from the dust. By the time he cleaned himself up, a notice came in.
...[.You've been in jail. You received some penalties.]...
...[.Your investor is locked.]...
...[.Cannot use weapons or equipment. ]...
...[.Messages and Calls for players and Guilds were closed.]...
...[.Some system functions will be temporarily disabled. ]...
...[.The penalty deadline until you are released from prison.]...
Lyon's face changed drastically when he saw the panels that appeared before him. He immediately held the panel and looked at it further. His eyes glared so wide as he could not believe what he saw. "Heh, what is this?!" Lyon has opened an investment. However, it does not appear that the panel is an investee, but what appears is a notification if the panel cannot be opened. Lyon took his sword. However, his sword did not want to break the sheath. Lyon is panicking. He started opening the message and call panel. The panel appears. Lyon tries to call someone using call mode. But it was in vain. Similar notices appear. "I can't even open them .. Is this how it feels when we go to jail?"
Lyon just found out about this. When a player commits an act of crime and then goes into jail, then the function of the system screen panel will be locked until they are free. So they're like ordinary people who go to jail, can't go anywhere. He can't get away from here. This prison is absolute, just waiting for a decision later whether he is free or not. He could only wait until the time came.
"Heh, then I can't contact those who are out there .... This sucks."
Lyon tried to subside his anger and started glancing around the Cell. It is true that it is a dark, small and also moist cell. It felt like he was placed on the lowest floor of the earthen room. Lyon walked around the cell until he was stopped by something. He saw that there was a human skeleton that was being bound there. He began to imagine that he was in the position of the skull.
Will I have the same fate as her ...?
**
After quite walking around his prison cell, Lyon went to sit in his place cross-legged, then muttered to himself.
"All right, let's analyze what happened first. First, the king and queen suddenly accused me of nothing, especially the king knew very well about everything related to me. Then, their whereabouts were also related to my class Quest suspecting that something was odd to the two of them."
"Oh yeah! I recall. Isabella never said that their nature began to change a few years ago. Could there be something behind the change in attitude ...?"
Lyon began to analyze all the pieces of events that happened to him today, starting from the king who accused him of being a war criminal, the Quest relationship that turned out to be related to this incident, and also recalling the change in their attitude from Isabella. After a while Lyon came to some conclusions.
For a moment, Lyon hesitated over his words. "Cannot be. Maybe they did something like that. Wanting to sacrifice his people was only their personal goal. Well, even though their nature is also so indifferent, still they are the leaders of this Kingdom."
Lyon pulled his words because it was obviously impossible to do. His mind was too wild. Lyon also muttered again about his next opinion.
"There may be a third person behind all this. He controlled the king and queen thus making their attitude drastically change. If that's true, then he's also the one who got the Lich back up and planned to invade this kingdom."
Third person. Usually in a scene like this, there must be a third person who is not known who and he is the one who controls this game. Whether it's individually, organized, or something. But Lyon had a hunch that surely the king and queen were controlled by this man.
"I have high confidence in my opinion of the third person. Now he must be in this palace laughing at me. See, if I get out of this prison, I'll be looking for him soon." He became furious and wanted to beat up the man as quickly as possible because he was the reason Lyon was languishing in this cell.
A short while later, Lyon fell asleep on the ground. He looked to the side and looked at the human skull again. Lyon looked back at the ceiling of the prison as he muttered, "It's just that I came to the conclusion of this Quest losing I can't do anything here. Just try at least I can send you a message, maybe I'll have them investigate about that person. Well, let's hope they get some inspiration on this."
Lyon can't do anything in this prison. With everything from a locked system it makes it impossible to give this information to those who are out there. Lyon can only resign and hope that if only they have the same thoughts as him.
But when Lyon closed his eyes he had a brilliant idea. He automatically stood up from his place. "I'll be able to tell Ruby and Snowly about this out there. Why don't I think of ya." Lyon can share this information with Ruby and Snowly who are outside the game. He just stayed out of the game and told me about his opinion.
"Alright, time we'll get out. With a carefree feeling Lyon are looking for a sign out of this game. For a moment, he found it. Without feeling stale Lyon immediately pressed the button.
...[.You cannot log out of the game.]...
"Eh, what is this?" Lyon was confused by the intent of the notice. He pushed the button again and repeatedly. However, as much as he did, the results remained the same. He can't get out of the game. Slowly, sweat appeared on his forehead. Lyon is getting restless. "Damn it! What the fuck? Why can't I get out of here. Oi System! No kidding. Come on .. it works ...." Lyon still did not give up. He kept pushing that button. More and more panels sprung up about him that couldn't get out. Lyon eventually surrendered. He sat back there.
"Ah, Shit! I can't get out of this game. This must be from the fucking developers. They want to torture me again with this kind of thing."
Because so upset about the events that happened to him today he brought back Game Developers to his problems. Well, this is also their work for entering this kind of thing to him. Lyon continue to speak badly about them. All this continued until he was tired. The anger is starting to subside.
"Ah, stop. There is no point in chiding them. This has all happened. It's good that I go to sleep. I wish there was a miracle when I woke up."
Lyon sleeps there immediately. With a pedestal that was only soil, it was enough for her exhausted self. He doesn't care how the place he sleeps.
**
"Tokay! Geck! Geck!"
The sound of iron knocking made Lyon disturbed from his sleep. He tried to go back to sleep, but the sound did not stop disturbing his ears. With a feeling of annoyance he woke up and stared out of the cell. "Who is disturbing my sleep? It sucks." Lyon saw someone who was already standing there. The face of that person was no stranger to him. His mouth also spoke calling him the identity of the person.
"Mr Gordon ...."
Apparently it was Gordon one of the great generals of Heaven kingdom. He came here to visit Lyon. This is good news for Lyon. He rushed to the edge of the cell and looked at Gordon with sparkling eyes. "Mr Gordon, have I been able to get out of this place??" he said with hope.
However, Gordon's expression did not say anything similar. "Sorry, Mr. Lyon. I can't get you out. I've only come to see your circumstances from on Isabella's orders."
An answer that did not meet his expectations. Lyon is back there. "Oh yeah," he said briefly. But not long after that Lyon spoke again. "Mr Gordon, I feel like this is all very strange. The king suddenly accused me of being the villain of this war, and all of a sudden. Though I've fought to the point of almost sacrificing my life and to the point of using demonic powers, but this is what I got."
"I understand your sadness, but we can't do much. The King has made an order to arrest you and there is nothing to do" Gordon said.
"Mr Gordon, I feel suspicious if someone is controlling the king from behind the scenes and uses me as his victim. I also suspect that he's the one who raised the Lich."
Gordon's face turned serious. "What did you say, Mr Lyon? The king is being controlled?"
Lyon simply nodded, then continued his words, "This is just a speculation I got after observing them. Their behavior is really strange. So, there could have been someone in this palace controlling them. You should discuss this with Isabella and also with my colleagues who will come to this palace. And don't forget to look for weirdness in this palace. Who knew it could be a clue from that person."
Gordon thought for a moment after that looking back at Lyon. "I think you're right. There is something strange about the king. All right, I'll talk this over to them." Gordon got out of his place, got out of there. But, suddenly Lyon called out to him again. Gordon turned around.
"And be careful, do not let the king know about this," he said, warning him. Gordon nodded in understanding of what he meant and left from there.
