The Prophet of Yorta (2)

“That Prophet. Is this correct?”

Memorial Tower on the 5th basement level.

A frozen prison facility called the Tomb of the Frost Lord.

Prisoners slowly freeze to death, trapped in cavities and bars blown by the cold wind.

People who normally do not even look at each other, let alone talk, were busy walking around the cell as if they had promised.

“I still don’t know why we have to do this, but... ... .”

“I would have told you not to make me say it twice.”

Lennok responded coldly to the prisoners who were constantly looking this way.

“If you want to get out of here, listen quietly. How many more times do I have to show you?”

“No, I don’t doubt the magical powers the prophet showed... ... .”

Among the hesitant prisoners, one of them straightened his stooped back with difficulty.

“Now what does this have to do with escaping prison?”

Prisoners wiping the floor and bars with expressions as if they wanted to say something.

The simple labor of wiping the frosty floor with clothes or old cloth.

Using the escape as an excuse, Lennok’s order to the prisoners was to clean the prison.

“No matter how you think about it, you don’t need to clean to get out of here... ... .”

“I think it would be better for the Prophet to give us one more fortune.”

Of course, not all of the prisoners in the prison will quietly follow Lennok’s words.

There are prisoners who don’t believe in Lenok and don’t see the saju, so the number of prisoners who clean the cell is less than half.

But the fact that they cleaned my cell was enough to keep this frozen prison busy.

=... ... .

To the extent that the White Ghosts, who had never responded by monitoring the prison corridors, are watching this side.

It was not strange that the prisoners showed signs of discomfort at the sight of the white ghost shining under the gray-white hood.

“I have a lot of complaints about cleaning the place I stayed in.”

Lennok looked at them and let out a cold sigh.

“Or do you want me to sit upright on the prison floor and say prayers all day long?”

“Wouldn’t that be more useful?”

“... ... .”

Lennox shook his head at the question of the prisoners who seemed to think so.

Prisoners who have stayed long in Yorta, where spiritual superstitions and beliefs are strong, know that prayer is not a meaningless act.

After all, Lennok’s role as a prophet worked so well because of that tendency, so it must be something to be endured.

That’s why Lennok had no choice but to put an iron plate on his face and rush the prisoners.

“This is the process of clearing out the karma accumulated in your filthy bodies, so shut up and cooperate. It is absolutely necessary to get out of here.”

“Well, if it’s the process of getting rid of karma... ... .”

“Could you please explain the reason for this earlier?”

After talking nonsense with a rough reason, the prisoners cleaned the cell more aggressively than before.

Lennok, who was looking at the prisoners with an absurd expression, quietly muttered to the priestess.

“I think I know a little bit about why cults are prevalent on this continent.”

[It seems that only your disposition to mislead the truth has been proven.]

“... ... .”

only once a week.

Although there may be some who are dissatisfied with having them do this just because they saw the fortune-telling once.

Many of them followed with dubious feelings as he made them work by mentioning that there was a means to escape.

And it was enough for Lennok to have that many heads moving around in the prison, attracting the attention of a hundred demons.

‘Apart from acting as a prophet, you don’t need the faith of others. It’s not my taste to rely on faith.’

Looking at the shivering prisoners cleaning the cells, Lennok was lost in thought.

‘To properly refine judgment and revelation and use it as an excuse for supernatural power to approach the core district of Yorta.’

Accepting being imprisoned was an accident that was not in the plan.

We need to figure out the structure of this place as quickly as possible and find a way out.

Fortunately, with the revelation of the priestess and Lennok’s own intuition, he has secured enough clues.

‘The wind blows from both sides of the ceiling and floor near the north.’

Sitting on the cold prison floor with his eyes closed, Lennok calmly raised his senses.

‘However, due to the internal design of the 5th basement floor, there is no way to escape from the north.’

Through the revelation of the priestess, it was recognized that the cold wind penetrating the entire prison was flowing from some kind of crack.

However, as I spent time in the prison and checked my surroundings, I did not see any cracks through which the cold wind could flow.

The conceivable possibility is that the crack itself exists outside the prison, or that it is hidden from view somewhere in the prison.

Lennok predicted that the latter possibility was relatively high.

‘What I confirmed through the revelation was a means to break out. If the priestess performed supernormal abilities directly, there is little possibility that it would deviate greatly from the subject.’

There are two things that Lennok tried to confirm through the supernatural power of revelation that was activated on the memorial tower.

It is related to the escape from the 5th floor underground where Mugan and Lennok are confined to observe the flow of the curse.

In the case of Mugan, even if the meaning was lost due to an unexpected incident, the revelation that confirmed the exit from the prison would not be significantly different.

Lennok believed in that possibility and was deliberately creating a bustling inside of the prison by inciting the prisoners.

“Shall we begin?”

The moment when the inside of the prison became noisy enough and Lennok lost his nerves for a moment.

ugh... ... !!

Raising his mana to the limit, Lennok began to calculate the direction of the wind blowing from all directions.

The art of exploring the curve where the wind direction collides and diverges, and the strength and flow change.

Prisoners move to a location that would not have been guessed according to the prison’s original design, tracing it through a subtly changing flow.

A sharp line of thought puts the entire prison into sight and sweeps through the entire vast cavity and disappears.

Against the flow of cold air that seemed to freeze even his thoughts, Lennok finally found the source of the wind.

‘It’s over there.’

The hallway at the end of the eastern cell, which does not leave even among the hundred ghosts that roam throughout the prison.

Among them, an empty cell where all kinds of corpses and filth were hardened and left unattended.

Wind erratically leaks through the tightly closed walls and rotates throughout the prison.

Perhaps that is the location of the rift through which the wind flows directly, and the only way out of this prison.

‘Isn’t it just that I left corpses frozen all over the cell for no reason?’

It would be understandable if those many corpses were part of trial and error trying to find the hole through which the cold air flowed.

Once the location of the rift was identified, all that was left was to determine the time to escape and act.

The moment Lennok was about to open his eyes, thinking that way.

=... ... .

As he said that, the moment he touched both wrists, the giant’s hand shrank as if it were a baby’s.

drooling!!

The giant, who had freed the handcuffs so easily, waved his hand at Lennok and said,

“As you can see, I am a hitman who uses body transformation techniques. They are good at getting through narrow cracks, walls or safes.”

“... ... .”

“I came here after being betrayed by the same contractor while trying to leave the organization I belonged to and set up a contract company.”

The gaze of the giant looking at the obsidian mask shone strangely.

“Even though you didn’t know about my origin and abilities, your divination was very accurate. Even I, who knew the situation, gave me goosebumps.”

“I’m not very interested in your boring past.”

Lennok laughed.

“What do you want to say?”

“Let me escape from here. Come with me.”

Saying that, the giant held out his hand towards Lennok.

“I don’t know why you were imprisoned here, but your magical powers are too precious to be buried here. is not it?”

“... ... .”

“If you escape this place and go out of the tower, you can reach the Living District. Why don’t we work together to find a way to survive on our own?”

“You didn’t mean to leave Yorta.”

“of course. Is there any reason to come all the way here just because you’re crazy?”

The giant snorted.

“Yorta is a closed place, but it is the source of rare artifacts and spells that are not seen in the world. Raising money is easy if you can break through that distribution network.”

Didn’t he abandon his lingering attachment to business even after being betrayed by his partner?

“I have already gathered a few like-minded prisoners and made a team. If you’re willing to join me, I’ll release your handcuffs right here. If I touch the joints with my body transformation technique, those handcuffs will come right away-”

“No. don’t hesitate.”

Lennok laughed and shook his head.

“What I want is not to escape among a small number of people who have pre-occupied information.”

“... ... What do you mean?”

“All the prisoners locked up here leave the prison at the same time. It’s the only way to escape this place.”

At Lennok’s words, the giant asked in a cold voice.

“You seem to have a deeper affection than I thought. Are you going to patronize the prisoners you saw for the first time today?”

“Council? I would have said it was the only way.” Lennoch smiled and replied, “

I say it again. This is the only way out of prison.

It’s not your plan, it’s mine.”

“... ... .”

The silent giant slightly averted his gaze and asked quietly.

“Have you ever wondered why this prison is so cold?”

Without waiting for an answer, the giant immediately continued.

“There is a hole in the prison somewhere. A very strong cold wind is freezing the prison through him.”

Despite Lennok’s plaintive reaction, the giant said without hesitation.

“Most of them won’t even go near that cold wind and won’t even guess where it’s coming from... ... .”

The giant kicked the frozen corpse and pushed it away.

“The story is that among the seniors who escaped this place first, there was a madman who was curious about the location of the hole.”

“know.”

“... ... You know?”

As if he hadn’t expected that answer at all, Lennok laughed as he looked at the giant blinking his eyes.

“Not a prison hallway or ceiling, but an empty cell located at the eastern end. Is there a crack hidden in it?”

“... ... .”

“It took a while to find the direction with only a cross-sectional image. The reason I stayed up all night was to prepare for that.”

“I don’t know what you mean. no no... ... Let’s talk again from the beginning.”

Confused, the giant waved his hand and rubbed his forehead.

“You really figured out the location of the exit by divination? How many times do we spend trying to find that-”

Quaaaaaaaa!!!

At that moment, a shock wave erupted from the other side of the prison corridor with a tremendous roar.

The sudden explosion woke most of the sleeping prisoners to their feet.

“What’s going on!!”

“It’s an explosion!! Someone set off the bomb!”

An empty cell at the end of the eastern hallway collapsed, revealing a huge rift beyond.

They opened their mouths and muttered, realizing that a strong wind containing great cold was blowing from within.

“Another way out... ... .”

“How can such a hole in an empty prison... ... !!”

“Is it really that the Prophet made the road?”

Clap!!

Lennok, who casually opened the cell door and walked out, raised his head at the other prisoners.

“I said I would show you the way out.”

“Prophet Seo!!”

“Then the useless cleaning really... ... !!”

The moment he confirmed that the rift was hidden within the prison walls, Lennok made up his mind to drastically increase the scale of the prison break.

Unless the structure or principle of the memorial tower is accurately grasped, the possibility of being discovered in the process of attempting to escape is very high.

Moreover, according to the writings left in the prison, various problems and dangers are scattered in the basement of the memorial tower.

In that case, it was judged that it would be better to increase the number of escapees and to divert attention and make the direction unpredictable.

Standing in the center of the frozen hollow, Lennok nodded as he looked back at the thrilled prisoners.

“I opened the way. let’s go.”

clap clap clap clap!!

The instant Lennox lightly lowered his hand, the bars of the prison were released all at once, and the door swung wide open.

“Wow!!”

Seeing the wide open door in front of them, the prisoners screaming madly and running out.

I don’t even question how the door opened or why there was a way out in front of me.

I just entrusted my body to this rapidly intensified flow and ran vigorously according to Lennok’s words.

“Free!! I’m getting out of here!”

“Thank you Prophet!!”

Hundreds of prisoners rush through the icy prison cavity and throw themselves over the cracks.

Standing on top of the crack where the cold wind blew in, Lennok looked back at the prisoners running around him and smiled.

“Let those who want to live crawl out on their own. From now on, we will escape from the 5th basement floor of the memorial tower and go up to the ground.”
