The warden who guards the witches

The next morning, Aiden sat in his office, studying the information he had asked people to collect and organize yesterday.

The capital prison of the Dragon Spine Empire is a comprehensive prison that is no less large than the Thorn Iron Prison and the Rose Iron Prison. If it is simply compared with the Rose Iron Prison before the reform, it is even better.

But four years ago, an incredible jailbreak occurred in this prison.

At that time, the pirate Anne Drake, who was active in the Sea of ​​Tranquility, was arrested by the Imperial Navy and sent to the capital prison for detention after trial.

Three days after the trial, the capital prison received a threatening letter. The sender claimed to be the Red Shark Pirates. They demanded that the capital prison release Anne Drake unconditionally within a week, otherwise they would directly organize a prison break.

The capital prison did not respond to the letter. In fact, with the security situation in this world, it is not uncommon for a prison to receive similar threatening letters from criminal organizations. And the scale of Neville Drake's Red Shark Pirates at that time was far less than it is now. A prison in a big country that ranks among the top in the continent in terms of security, naturally, has no need to be afraid of a mere pirate group.

But a week later, the Red Shark Pirates broke into the Capital Prison, and broke through the prison's defenses with unimpeded momentum, directly abducted Anne Drake from the prison, and took away some of her subordinates who were also detained in the Capital Prison, as well as several dangerous prisoners, and also destroyed the prison facilities and stole some supplies.

During this process, the armed riot squad of the Capital Prison tried to fight back against the pirates' prison breakers, but strangely, all those who tried to attack fainted on the spot before the other side fought back - this information was collected from the riot squad members who exchanged fire with the pirates at the time. From the recorded testimony, they claimed that they did not see any counterattack from the other side.

So far, the Empire's Inquisition has not found out the specific method by which the Red Shark Pirates were able to complete the prison break so smoothly, and all the defense facilities they cracked did not leave any traces.

The opened prison door had no damage, just like it was opened with a key. The enchantments, runes and traps set up in the prison were all intact after inspection, but they inexplicably failed during the jailbreak.

The warden of the capital prison was even suspected of accepting bribes and was subject to strict investigation. Although no evidence of dereliction of duty was found in the end, he was still punished to a certain extent for this matter.

"How miserable." Aiden shook his head and sighed. He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this colleague whom he had never met.

According to the relevant information provided in the letter from the ancestor, the Red Shark Pirates were able to complete this incredible jailbreak, which was obviously closely related to the sole authority of "order" in the hands of Neville Drake.

If you know nothing about the information of authority, it is naturally impossible to prevent it.

This also explains why the Empire did not hesitate to extradite Anne Drake to the Autonomous State to serve her sentence. Even the largest capital prison suffered a setback, and the reason has not been found so far, not to mention other prisons in the Empire.

As for the Red Shark Pirates, it was no surprise that they became famous after the prison break. More and more pirates defected to them, and their size expanded rapidly over the years. They became the overlord of the Coral Sea and occupied an uninhabited island as a base, which they named Red Shark Island.

The Empire's navy and the Inquisition had organized several siege operations against Red Shark Island, but all of them failed without exception. When the Empire's navy approached the pirate port of Red Shark Island or encountered the pirate group's ships, they often encountered some bizarre things, which forced them to stop fighting.

These bizarre things included storms and fogs without warning, whirlpools that inexplicably appeared between the two armies, and gunfires that failed without any clues. Therefore, in the Coral Peninsula area in the north of the Empire, there was a saying that the great pirate Neville Drake was protected by the god of the sea, and anyone who tried to harm him would be punished by the gods.

In fact, there were similar rumors about Ryan Gort, the great pirate who was revered as the overlord of the sea in the past. Since he started, there have been several generations of such great pirates on the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

The information revealed in the letter of the ancestor Azrael can explain this matter.

At that time, Azrael traded the "Wordless Code" to the pirate Ryan Gort, and Gort became the most powerful pirate king on the Sea of ​​Tranquility. After that, the "Wordless Code" circulated in the hands of different pirate forces - it can be said that whoever gets the "Wordless Code" will become the lucky one blessed by the "God".

There is no doubt that the Red Shark Pirates can continuously repel the naval encirclement and miraculously kidnap people from the prison in the capital of the empire, all relying on the power of the "Wordless Code".

In the absence of a ruler, the only authority will exist in the form of an object. This object will have supernatural properties beyond ordinary black magic, and even ordinary people can use it. It is just a prop.

"So that's it, this is what the prophecy said, waiting silently in prison, and the authority will naturally come to you." Aiden thought.

He now finally understood the content of Melissa's prophecy. The "prophecy" Melissa gave was quite accurate, but it was slightly different from what he understood.

It was not that authority would be delivered to his door like a package, but that people related to authority would personally come to his door with authority.

According to the Convention and the extradition regulations of the autonomous state, it is difficult for Aiden to reject this prisoner.

It is a trouble... but also an opportunity. This is Aiden's first impression.

He heard about the characteristics of the "Wordless Code" from Melissa. It is said that a limited number of rules can be written on it, and this rule will be enforced within a certain range centered on the holder.

It is probably not an easy task to prevent an opponent with such a plug-in from kidnapping people from prison.

But this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to get the "Wordless Code", who originally had almost no intersection with pirates, and even the venue of the fight was limited to his home court.

However, compared with the Red Shark Pirates, Aiden is now more concerned about the fact that Anne Drake was transferred here.

After he received the letter from the ancestor and learned about the information related to the only authority, the characters mentioned in the letter immediately intersected with him.

It was like a pre-scripted RPG game, and he was the character controlled by a certain player. Before the main storyline mission popped up, there would always be an NPC who would provide him with key information.

And the player who controlled him basically never hid his identity.
