Pei Renli felt like he had a dream, a dream floating in the clouds, his consciousness was hazy and fuzzy.

But not long after, he seemed to be falling directly below. The strong sense of weightlessness made his breathing quicken and his palms sweating. He regained control of his body in an instant, as if he had been awakened from a nightmare.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, how do you feel?"

Looking up, he saw Ravna squatting next to him. Perrenli's first thought was that Ravna would definitely be exposed if she wore a skirt...

Shaking his head, he shook out the last bit of confusion:

"I'm fine, I feel a lot more awake."

He even feels refreshed now that he has had enough sleep, which is equivalent to catching up on his sleep for a while.

Sitting up with support, Pei Renli realized that there was a large pile of straw under him. Looking around, he seemed to be in a long and narrow stone room of about four to five square meters, which looked like it was taken out of a cave. Ravna

There was a grate woven with finger-thick iron bars poking through the back, making it feel like a prison.

When I looked down, I saw that all the equipment on my body was gone.

There was no Swift Light Staff around. The amber magic guide and magic storage ring on his finger were gone. Even the potion bag, scroll box and backpack were gone. Except for the clothes on his body, everything was stripped.

clean.

It's right to think about it, after all, if you throw him into prison, you can't still have weapons.

"Where is this? What happened?"

"You are underground. Some magic servants appeared to move you here after you fainted."

Underground? Magical servants?

Feeling a little confused, Pei Renli added:

"You start from the beginning."

"As you command, Your Majesty the Demon King."

Ravna whispered:

"When you were about to approach Hexi Village, you suddenly fell down without warning, and your companions were almost the same. As a result, Azuhan, Fondar, Eve, and Elysee of the Sword of Salvation were able to resist for a little longer.

, but he only resisted for four or five seconds before losing consciousness."

"You said we fell down suddenly? Didn't you see the white mist surrounding us at that time?"

"No, my subordinate didn't see what you said. It seems to me that you were just walking and suddenly passed out."

Only Pei Renli and the others saw the white mist, which showed that Eve's feeling was correct. It was the magic effect of the school of enchantment. The identification magic could not be confirmed, but the detection magic could feel the magic, so it was probably from the school of enchantment.

Spell-like abilities.

Most of the spells that affect the mind are concentrated in the school of enchantment, but there are also some schools of illusion. The easiest way to identify the two is whether a third party sees abnormalities.

Illusions are created and can be seen by everyone, while in the school of enchantment, only the recipient can see it.

To put it bluntly, it is the difference between illusion and hallucination.

Making a gesture to continue, Ravna continued:

"Not long after you and your companions fainted, some magic servants appeared."

The Magic Servant is a special kind of magical creature, roughly equivalent to the super-evolved version of the Mage's Hand, which can help the spellcaster handle some chores.

Such as cleaning, serving dishes and serving bowls.

But they can't do anything too complicated, certainly not cooking, and they can't lift things that are too heavy. It would take at least a dozen of them to lift Pei Renli and the others away.

Due to the obvious shortcomings of magic servants, as long as they are not poor mages who can't take the blame, most of them will choose the more convenient and easy-to-use golems, or the magical creature Puni who works in the Demon King's City. Magic servants are rarely used.

"My subordinates saw that they were only responsible for transportation, so they didn't show up. The magic servants moved you to the prison, took away your magic items and backpack, and waited until no one was around before coming out to guard you, Your Majesty the Demon King, until now."

"What about the rest?"

"I don't know for sure, but it's definitely not around here."

Ravna has always strictly followed Perenli's orders, and will never take action unless it is absolutely necessary. Because Perenli really has no way to explain Ravna's existence.

If the guy controlling the magic servant showed up with evil intentions, Ravna would of course jump out and confront him, but since it was a magic servant, and she didn't mean to harm Perrenli for the time being, Ravna would keep quiet.

watching.

As for the others?

For Ravna, the most important thing is Perenli. She doesn't care at all whether others die. To put it exaggeratedly, even if everyone in the world is dead, as long as Perenli is unscathed, she doesn't care at all.

Pay attention to where others are taken.

After hearing this, Pei Renli thought for a while and said:

"When I fainted, did you see any suspicious targets nearby?"

"No, I was pretty sure you and your companions were the only ones nearby at that time."

This is strange, because Pei Renli didn't see who made them unconscious.

Even though he had finished his work and returned down the mountain, Pei Renli still remained alert. His mystical eyes were in the sky to detect everything around him. It was impossible to miss anything. Even if he was invisible and approached, he would still be seen through by his mystical eyes.

After all, whether it is magic or spell-like abilities, it is impossible to casually take someone's head thousands of miles away. Even if there are special magic and special spell-casting methods that extend the effective distance, it should not be beyond the observation of the arcane eye.

The scope is right.

An extremely clever and special invisibility spell? Or...

Some kind of casting medium was used?

With a medium, you can cast spells remotely without showing your face. For example, if you want to curse someone, you need to get that person's hair or blood, and you need to know his real name.

But the curse only affects one person. What medium caused all five of them to be infected together?

Moreover, Ravna was hiding in Perenli's shadow at that time, which shows that the spell-like ability that can make everyone unconscious in an instant is not a range effect, but a group effect that only targets one or a few targets. Moreover, La

Funa is not affected, probably because the caster has no medium related to her.

I can't think of anything more noteworthy for the time being, so I will keep this line in my mind. Pei Renli asked again:

"You said we were underground, where did we get in from?"

"A cave is the cave where you and your companions deal with the trolls. There is a hidden door in the depths."

After defeating the troll, no one did a proper search of the troll's lair. Firstly, it was unlikely that valuable loot would be found, and secondly, because the smell of the troll's lair was so spicy that they didn't expect there to be a cave inside.

"Do you remember the way in?"

"certainly."

In short, the situation is like this. Ravna did not see the guy who caused the trouble, Perrenli was locked up, and the lives and deaths of the others are unknown.

The top priority now is to rendezvous with his teammates. If he can find out where the lost equipment is, he can either run away quickly or see if he can kill that guy.

"Don't go back to the shadows yet, come with me."

"As commanded."

Ravna's combat effectiveness is very high, and it is not safe for Perrenli to act on his own in a place like this.

Then he stood up and quickly weaved runes with his fingers. Due to the lack of a magic guide, many commonly used spells took a lot longer.

"Detect creatures!"

"Detect magic!"

"Detect trap!"

After three consecutive detections, Perrenli was convinced that there was no magic left around him, no traps, and no creatures other than himself and Ravna, not even rats.

When he walked to the metal grille, Pei Renli looked out.

Since the stone walls on the left and right sides of the cell exit were slightly raised, he was unable to obtain a wider perspective. All he could see was the wall facing him and the swaying torches stuck on the wall.

There seemed to be only one lighting source around, and it looked very dim. Pei Renli did not dare to use the light spell casually, as it would be too conspicuous.

So he weaved the runes again, summoned the mystical eye, and let it slip through the gap in the cell.

Through the floating arcane eyes, one can see that there is a narrow corridor outside the cell. On both sides are small single rooms similar to the cell where Pei Renli is located. There are probably less than 10 in total.

There is a dead end on the left, and a very simple wooden door can be seen on the right. However, since the arcane eye cannot penetrate the wall and cannot open the door, this is all that can be seen at the moment.

Anyway, let's get out of jail first.

Of course there is a lock on the cell door, but this is definitely not a problem for a mage.

It is estimated that the person who imprisoned him did not know much about Pei Renli's abilities, or maybe they were very confident that Pei Renli would be captured even if he escaped.

Just as she was about to use tapping to unlock the lock, Ravna took a step forward:

"My subordinates are willing to do the work for me."

She put her hands through the grille, grabbed the lock on the outside, and exerted a slight force.

The palm-sized lock only made a soft click sound, and was broken as easily as cracking biscuits. Then Ravna opened the door bolt, opened the door and bent slightly:

"Your Majesty the Demon King, please."

Suddenly, I felt relieved to have Ravna by my side...
