Chapter 547: The Impact of Prison Break
“How do you feel?”
“Very good. I feel like I can destroy everything now,” Silas said excitedly.
“Then come out. We’ll discuss what to do next. After all, Demacia is not that easy to deal with.”
Silas agreed with this. Otherwise, he would not have been locked up here for so long.
After taking a deep breath, Silas waved his hands, and the two chains on his arms struck the prison door in front of him.
This prison door was made of a special material, the anti-magic stone. It was an important thing that Demacia used to suppress magic.
But that could only be suppressed. There was a certain limit, and more things could be used as a deterrent.
Now that Silas had recovered his strength, he was no longer restricted by the door made of the anti-magic stone.
That was indeed the case. Silas’ chains directly shattered the door in front of him.
The restraint that had trapped him for so many years was finally gone.
He, Silas, was finally free.
“Congratulations, sir, for regaining your freedom.”
“Thanks to your help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to come out. I will do what I promised you.”
Silas also knew that the reason he was able to come out was all thanks to these black-robed men.
Moreover, these black-robed men were very powerful, and he valued cooperation with them very much.
“Let’s go and find my subordinates first. With them, our strength will increase by a lot.”
“Sure.”
After making a decision, Silas and the black-robed men quickly left this place.
It was as quiet as when they came. Not a single guard noticed them.
After Silas and the others left for half a day, a guard who came to change shifts finally noticed the situation.
When he saw that all the guards were lying on the ground, he knew that something bad was going to happen. He quickly went inside to check. If the prisoners inside escaped, the consequences would be serious.
Seeing that there was no one in the cell and that the door was broken, the guards knew that it was broken.
Silas really escaped from inside.
However, what puzzled him was how Silas, who was imprisoned by the anti-magic stone, escaped.
But that was not the main point right now.
He had to quickly report it to the prince.
Because the sudden situation here was very serious, the speed of reporting was also very fast. Gawain IV soon received the news.
“What? Silas escaped from the cell? There are so many guards and anti-magic stones. How did he escape?”
Hearing the terrible news from his men, Gawain IV stood up with a shocked face.
That guy had a high hatred for Demacia. If he went out now, they would be in trouble.
“Yes, when I found them, all the guards were lying on the ground, but they were only unconscious and not injured. The anti-magic stone was broken from the inside.”
The one who reported the news to Gawain IV was the guard who was found in the beginning. Gawain IV wanted to know the first-hand information about the scene from him.
“So that’s how it is!”
Hearing this, Gawain IV fell into deep thought.
Since the guards were only unconscious and not dead, it meant that this person did not want to make a big deal out of it. Therefore, it was definitely not Silas who did it, and neither were his subordinates. Otherwise, none of the guards would have survived.
It was not Gawain IV’s malicious speculation, but that Silas’ hatred for Demacia was too great.
If that was the case, there should be a force that came to save Silas.
This also explained why Silas was able to break out of the door. The person who came to save him gave him healing medicine.
Gawain IV was very clear about the power of the anti-magic stone. It suppressed the truly powerful, but not that much.
The reason why they were able to suppress Silas before was entirely because he was injured.
Now that he had recovered from his injuries, of course, he could easily come out.
After roughly deducing the situation at that time, Gawain IV fell into distress again.
Who was this unknown force?
However, when he saw from the corner of his eye that the guard was still standing on the side anxiously, Gawain IV retracted his thoughts.
“You can leave. This time, it’s not your fault. However, we need to strengthen our defenses now. If anything happens, report back to me.”
Seeing that Gawain IV had said this, the guard quickly responded. After heaving a sigh of relief, he bowed and left.
Although it wasn’t his fault, Silas had escaped from their custody after all. Now that the prince didn’t blame them, he felt much more at ease.
Of course, Prince Gawain IV wouldn’t blame them, because it was indeed not their fault. He wasn’t that stupid.
He was thinking about who that force was.
According to the report of the guards, there should have been a prison break around noon.
“Noon, noon, noon, huh?”
Gawain IV’s mind suddenly flashed.
He thought of the group of black-robed men.
They left this place in the morning, and then Silas escaped in the afternoon.
Could there be a connection?
The more he thought about it, the more Gawain IV thought it was possible.
They came to him to trade runes, but he refused, so they came to Silas. Because he needed help now, he wouldn’t refuse the deal.
And they didn’t kill the guards. They just put them in a coma, obviously not wanting to make a big deal out of it.
After confirming the possibility of this guess, Gawain IV felt very annoyed.
It was already very difficult for Silas, but now there was another force that was looking for runes. Moreover, they were very powerful, making him extremely fearful.
These two forces were colluding together. He didn’t know what would happen. If they attacked Demacia, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Gawain IV’s face became solemn.
He thought of the upcoming wedding of the Laurent family.
Now that Silas had escaped and could attack this place at any time, he felt it necessary to tell them this news and ask them to postpone the wedding, or to simply handle it and focus more on Demacia’s defense.
So Gawain IV quickly pa.s.sed this news to several families.
Among the Cook family who received the news, Clare was very unhappy.
That prince actually asked them to postpone the wedding or simply arrange it?
He wasn’t the one who let Silas go, so why should they postpone his wedding?
“Father, this isn’t our business, and I don’t think it will affect Demacia’s defense. Let’s hold the wedding as usual.”
Hearing Clare’s words, Tuzman slowly put down the teacup in his hand. His face was very calm.
“Although I don’t know how that Silas got out, it’s not like before. One Silas won’t be able to stir up trouble. That Gawain IV is still not up to the mark. He always makes a fuss over nothing. He doesn’t have the style of Gawain III at all.”
Tuzman also had a look of disdain. This was also the reason why their families didn’t support Gawain IV’s succession.
Of course, there were also some families who had thoughts that they shouldn’t have.
