Chapter 270 An unexpected name

Chapter 270 An unexpected name

Silas, who had always spent this time in silence, looked at Vistilia and spoke for the rare moment. He smiled with an unknown meaning and said: "Long time no see, Vistilia."

Vistilia didn't reply, her equally unruffled eyes stared blankly at the air in front of her, and her gaze never even fell on Silas.

"It seems that the demon searchers' brainwashing of you was indeed quite successful. I remember that you didn't talk so little back then."

Silas chatted like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time: "You once discussed the mysteries of magic with me, and we stayed up all night in a forest filled with magic. Have you forgotten all of this?"

A low voice sounded in the cage.

It seemed that the memories of the past had awakened Vistilia. She lowered her head slightly this time and looked at Silas with disgust: "Being friends with a vicious mage like you is a shame in my life."

Silas raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and looked directly at her with some teasing: "It seems that they often tell you bad things about me. It doesn't matter even if you don't admit our friendship. But you have to know that if it weren't for you, I will not be caught easily. If you hadn't caught me, you might not be in this position now. Demon seekers have never regarded mages as human beings."

These words aroused Vistilia's anger. She stepped forward, raised her hands and pinched Silas's cheeks tightly, and said in a vicious tone: "I am the one who caught you, as a demon hunter." Human responsibilities. As for those disgusting magics, I have given them up long ago, do you hear me?"

Her cold and disgusted eyes pierced Silas's heart like a knife.

Fifteen years can indeed change too many things.

The needle pierced Silas's skin, and the familiar pain drew his attention away, watching as his blood was withdrawn bit by bit until the needle was filled.

Afterwards, the needle is removed and the sterilization is released.

Eldred, Vidislia, and a few demon seekers left without looking at Silas again.

The cell door was shut tightly.

Silas sat slowly by the wall, looking forward, his eyes flickering in the darkness, and he couldn't help but think of his friend's smiling face.

After a while, he raised his hand, and a burst of magic suddenly surged from his hand, and the lavender magic aura lit up the surrounding area.

Looking at the active magic power tumbling in his hands, looking at the long-lost wonderful colors, Silas's lips curved into a smile.

"It seems you haven't really given it up, Vistilia."

As soon as he held his right hand, the magic power dissipated like a puff of smoke.

At this moment, Silas's eyes flashed with excitement.

He looked toward the corner of the wall, vaguely seeing the wall brick in the darkness.

There is nothing wrong with what is hidden behind the wall tiles.

It turns out that the real function of the forbidden magic stone is not to seal magic.

Absorb and store.

It's just that few people can use the magic power stored in the Forbidden Demon Stone, so in fact, many people have discovered this in history, but in the end, the true purpose of the Forbidden Demon Stone was still buried by history.

Others can't do it, but Silas can.

Even before this, everything was guesswork and everything was hypothesis, but the moment he came into contact with Vistilia, he found a way.

If the Forbidden Magic Stone is a point, Vistilia is also a point.

Only when Vistilia releases magic will the forbidden magic stone take effect and absorb the magic. Otherwise, the final effect will only be suppression.

But Silas can serve as a new point between the two. His function is to absorb magic power directly through touch.

And when the magic power passed through his body and merged into the forbidden magic stone, he understood how to guide the magic power out again.

This seems to have an indescribable fit with his ability.

So Silas was feeling a little excited at the moment.

But soon, the darkness around him made Silas feel calm again.

He leaned against the wall speechlessly.

Even if the secret is discovered, so what?

It seems that it can't provide much help to his current situation.

His fate may be the same as that senior's, being locked in this dark cage for the rest of his life.

"Da da da."

At this time, there was another burst of footsteps outside.

"Your dinner today." The guard opened the door of the cell, delivered today's dinner, lit the torch, and turned around to leave.

The cell door closed again.

Today's dinner was the same as yesterday's. He got up and came to the dinner table, and Silas ate it one bite at a time.

But his eyes were looking at the door that had been closed to him for fifteen years not far away, and his eyes seemed to be able to see the outside world through it.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw the night sky.

Just relying on past memories, I feel that tonight’s night sky must be beautiful.

When will freedom come?

The longing in my heart grew.

Silas didn't expect that the opportunity to seek freedom would come so quickly.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

March 5th.

Royal Capital Prison.

Every half month, prisoners in ordinary prisons and mage prisons, except for some of the most heinous ones, have a chance to breathe fresh air.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the mages escorted by guards slowly walked out from the entrance of the dungeon, with heavy magic stone handcuffs on their hands.

Some had dark faces, some were dull and dull, and some had their eyes pierced by the sun, but without exception, they all had a layer of fatigue visible to the naked eye.

Being locked up in a dungeon is naturally difficult, and no matter who is in there, they can't sleep well.

Not to mention, a group of mages who are always on tenterhooks.

There were hundreds of mages who were pulled out to let loose. They were taken to the fence in the open space on the other side of the playground, like a group of sheep being kept in a pen.

Guarded by multiple guards, the mages can move freely during this period.

At this time, a running figure will appear in their eyes on the left runway.

This scene is something that the mages have become accustomed to.

Many people who knew Silas's identity had recognized him earlier.

Silas from Biangou Town was once known as one of the most dangerous mage in Demacia, a famous figure.

Back then, he caused a lot of trouble.

Now that such a person is also imprisoned here, it is nothing more than a wake-up call and warning to all mages.

He didn't know who he offended, and was punished to run on this track without stopping every day.

They have seen it many times in the past few months.

Otherwise, in the past, they would not even be able to meet a mage who committed such a serious crime.

At this time, the two guards responsible for guarding Silas were sitting in a shadow chatting, while Warden Deilde simply moved a bench and lay down on it to rest.

Naturally, he was not afraid of His Highness discovering such a lax work attitude.

He has placed an informant at the entrance of the prison. He will receive the news as soon as His Highness comes, so there is no need to worry at all.

Silas ran on the track as always, his body bathed in the sun, feeling his heart constantly beating powerfully due to the strenuous exercise. Only at this time could he feel that he was alive.

When the number of running laps was almost counted, Silas slowed down.

When passing by the fence, a low voice came faintly: "Biangou Town, Silas. Do you remember Liliana."

The voice seemed to be coming towards him accurately, and the name mentioned in it made Silas's heart beat suddenly.

Silas glanced left and right, slowly stopped, and looked towards the source of the sound.

The speaker was a man with wavy black hair, a thin face, but bright eyes. He seemed to have been tortured a lot in this prison.

The man also looked at Silas at this time, and spoke again, speaking very quickly: "It seems that you still remember her. There are not many opportunities for us to chat like this, and it may even be the last time. So, next words, I Speak and listen.”

Silas frowned slightly and glanced left and right again. The guards hadn't noticed him yet.

At the same time, a memory in his mind was also recalled.

Liliana, this is a name that is both strange and familiar.

It was also a turning point in his life.

Fifteen years ago, Silas worked for the Demon Searchers. He had the special talent of being able to see magic, and was therefore reused by the Demon Searchers.

For the first time in his life, Silas felt useful. He resolutely carried out his mission and hoped to remain loyal to the country throughout his life.

However, as time passed, Silas saw Demacia more clearly, and he discovered that the existence of magic was far more common than Demacia was willing to admit.

He could detect the glimmer of hidden magic even in the homes of wealthy and distinguished families.

And some people are still the most radical representatives who slander mages.

However, only those of lowly origin who are possessed by evil will be punished, and these dignitaries seem to be completely above the law.

This hypocritical system sowed the first seeds of doubt in Silas's mind.

In the subsequent demon searcher operations, Silas became more doubtful and doubtful about what he was doing now.

Until a dangerous incident, all doubts finally broke out.

The mage that the demon searchers wanted to capture that time was a little girl who was no more than ten years old. She was as weak and weak as a newly-born chicken.

She was hiding in a thatched hut and shivering. Her magic level was higher than that of an average mage.

As he learned more about the demon seekers, Silas knew what would happen to the little girl once she was captured.

Therefore, he felt sympathy for the little girl and wanted to protect her from being captured by the demon seekers.

Next, due to an unexpected touch, the girl's magic power poured into Silas's body in an instant, and the magic power exploded - but it did not kill him, but sprayed out uncontrollably from his palm.

This was a talent that he himself had never noticed, which also caused the team of demon seekers who acted with him to lose their lives on the spot.

Silas knew that he would definitely be regarded as a murderer, so he began to escape, taking the little girl with him.

And that little girl's name is Liliana.

During the subsequent escape, the Demon Seekers' pursuit became increasingly tight, and Silas knew that if he continued to escape with Liliana, he would not be able to escape capture.

So he temporarily hid Liliana in a cave and prepared food for her for a few days.

After planning to escape, return and take her away.

However, this time, it was almost a farewell.

Not two days after this, Silas was personally arrested by his best friend, Vestilla.

"After that, Liliana was found and adopted by a pair of kind-hearted hunters, but the demon seekers failed to find her."

The man's low voice came at this moment: "Lilliana has never forgotten your kindness. Now the demon seekers' suppression of mages is becoming more and more urgent. We have less and less room to breathe, and more and more compatriots are suffering. . Liliana has secretly gathered many mages over the years. We need to rise up against Demacia's oppression of mages. However, we need more powerful power. And you, Silas, were known as the most dangerous number one mage back then. ,we need you."

When Silas heard these words, he wanted to laugh a little: "You and I are both prisoners of the subordinates now, so what's the use of talking about these things."

"Whether you believe it or not, I was arrested just to see you."

The man stared at Silas closely: "An opportunity, Silas. What we need now is just an opportunity. Liliana can't help you find this opportunity from the outside, so... you can only think of it. Method."

"Silas, who allowed you to stand there motionless!"

In the distance, a guard spotted Silas and immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

Silas, who was hesitant to speak, could not say the next words. After looking at the man again, he continued running on the track.

On the surface, there were no waves on his face, but in fact, there were already huge waves in his heart.

The memory that was too long ago was awakened, causing Silas to still be in a trance at this time.

The sudden appearance of the name Liliana was indeed surprising enough for Silas.

Counting time, the little girl back then may have grown up.

She secretly gathered a group of mages to resist Demacia's oppression.

Where are these mages now?

Could it be that he has already arrived at the royal capital?

Chance?

What kind of opportunity is it?

The conversation just now was too short, and the content of the conversation was too little. Many parts were unclear, and even the truth of the man's words could not be confirmed.

However, at this moment, Silas smelled the smell of freedom.

He has to consider whether this will be his only chance in life.

Should I continue to spend the rest of my life in this dungeon, or should I give it a try and seek a glimmer of freedom?

It seemed that when these two choices came out, Silas had already determined the answer in his heart.

free.

He longs for freedom too much.

Now, his desire for freedom has surpassed everything.

Silas had had enough of the gray and dead life.

Therefore, when this man appeared, it was already an opportunity for Silas.

Whether it was true or not, he was ready to give it a go.
