The warden who guards the witches

The next morning, people who came to visit the Rose Iron Prison unexpectedly found that the prison was closed.

Not only that, a cordon was also set up outside the prison.

"The prison is undergoing renovations, and visits are temporarily prohibited. Please come back." Prison guards standing guard outside stopped all outsiders trying to enter the prison.

"Visits to the prison will have to wait until at least tomorrow. The prison is undergoing relatively large construction work today and it may be a bit dangerous. Please stay away." Prison guards advised citizens to return one by one.

Meanwhile, the warden's office.

"Are you really coming today?" Veronica asked.

"With the style of these pirates, it will definitely happen. I have studied the operation mode of the Red Shark Pirates. They specialize in picking out big prey, and they will also paint their logo on the sails and deck of the victim ship before letting the victim ship return. , they are the largest and most arrogant pirates on the Tranquil Sea," Aiden said slowly, "They predicted that they would come today, so they will probably come today. I have already reported the news of their warning to the newspaper, and the morning report has it. This news made us a headline."

Aiden picked up today's newspaper and shook it.

"You're here again..." Frenda stood in front of the desk with helplessness written all over her face, "No wonder so many reporters came in the morning."

"This is also an insurance policy. After all, we have made so many preparations, and it will be very troublesome if they let us go. These pirates probably don't want the news that they suddenly gave up after making a warning to spread everywhere. "Yes." Aiden replied calmly, "The surrounding units and businesses also got the news and closed their doors, saving us the time to issue an early warning."

"But if something happens, you will bear even greater responsibility." Flanda reminded her expressionlessly, "Maybe I will be implicated by you in the end..."

"Have some confidence in your boss, okay?" Aiden shrugged, "Learn from Veronica, she never asked any questions."

Flanda glanced at Veronica, whose face said "I am a soldier and only know how to obey orders", and shook her head: "I really can't learn it."

"Anyway, let's wait patiently for the guests to arrive." Aiden glanced at the wall clock, "By the way, have you had breakfast? I'm going to go to the cafeteria to get some pancakes and fruit for a cushion."

"I'll go too." Veronica immediately raised her hand.

Franda couldn't help but think back to the time when she and Veronica had breakfast together in the cafeteria half an hour ago.

It was just the accumulated life experience that prevented her from speaking out about the matter. Instead, she said calmly: "I have already eaten and will go back to my post first."

…

At noon the pirates appeared.

Due to the spread of the news in the morning newspaper and the joint control of the Inquisition Bureau, most of the units and shops in the nearby blocks were closed, and the streets were quickly cleared.

At this time, the prison guards who were on guard duty outside saw a carriage rushing straight towards this direction - not a public carriage, but four freight carriages, filled with people.

Just as the prison guard was about to shout, someone on the carriage raised a flag - a pirate flag with a shark crest.

"The target has appeared!!"

The prison guard on duty immediately became nervous, quickly ran back to the prison, and closed the door tightly.

The pirate carriages stopped one after another, and Neville Drake got off the carriage. This time he put on his usual attire at sea, wearing a three-cornered hat and a pistol in his belt. The other personnel were basically the same. Sailor outfit.

Today, they came as pirates, not only to rescue the captain's daughter, but also to rob the prison.

At the same time, prison alarm bells were ringing.

"Get aboard!!" Neville pulled out his command knife and commanded, and received an immediate response from everyone.

The group of people rushed directly to the closed prison door, but they took neither hammer nor axe, but just strode towards that direction with the momentum of turning a blind eye to the door.

At the same time, on the other side of the gate, there were three closed railings and iron gates in the passage leading to the inside of the prison. A dozen prison guards on duty gathered in the hall to guard.

Then, they were dumbfounded to see that behind the railings, several locks on the inside of the door were unlocked at the same time, as if an invisible man was opening the door quickly with the keys and all the permissions of the prison.

In just two seconds, the door automatically opened in front of the intruder, and the three iron gates also opened in sequence, as if to welcome the intruder.

The pirates entered the prison unimpeded. The prison guards on duty quickly used the reception counter as a cover and raised their guns at the pirates - this was their subconscious action. In fact, they had sternly warned them yesterday. Before taking action, they must not take the lead in attacking the intruders, but facing a group of criminals who invaded the prison unimpeded, they all instinctively felt that their personal safety was threatened.

Facing more than a dozen gunshots, the pirates seemed extremely calm. Only Neville drew his gun and fired at the ceiling, causing the prison guards present to hold their breath.

"Try shooting, government lackeys," Neville said calmly.

Several prison guards who had already tensed up their nerves were reflexively preparing to pull the trigger. At this time, an order suddenly appeared in their minds:

"It is prohibited to intentionally harm others indirectly or directly, and violators will be punished with corporal punishment."

This order appeared out of nowhere, but it carried an irresistible majesty. Most people stopped because of this, and only one prison guard insisted on pulling the trigger.

However, at this time, the pistol misfired.

Just as the prison guard was surprised, he suddenly felt a sharp pain running through his right hand holding the gun, causing him to scream subconsciously and fall to the ground holding his hand.

The pirates who heard the scream immediately started to laugh.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The colleague who was also hiding behind the counter came over.

"My right hand hurts!" The prison guard who had just fired the gun groaned in pain.

The colleague was confused because he didn't see a drop of blood, and asked the other party to take out his covered right hand.

Then the two found that there was no wound on the right hand, but there were many tiny black thorn stripes, crawling all over the hand like a tattoo.

"This..." Both of them were stunned.

This looks like some kind of powerful black magic curse, but the entrance to the prison is covered with a magic barrier, how can the curse work?

"Who told you to shoot?" The person in charge on duty here scolded him.

"Please be assured. As the saying goes, even thieves have their own code of conduct. Pirates also have their own rules. We will not kill those who give up resistance. As long as no one tries to be a hero, everyone will live in peace." Neville Drake said, "Now, can anyone tell me where my daughter Annie is being held?"

The person in charge of the guard recalled the order conveyed by his superiors early in the morning: "Just guard your own post. If the invaders come, don't attack first. If they ask for directions, lead them to the core area."

So he stretched out his hand from behind the counter and pointed in the direction of the corridor leading to the core area.
