Chapter 46- The Escape Plan (3)

The number of magic spells that have engraved in the subjugation tool made from Tiflorum included [Stop], [Block], and so on. In total, it has eight spells on it.

Even prosecutors who had already reached level 7, would face difficulties in unlocking the subjugation tool made from Tiflorum and had eight spells in it with their strengths. And the same went for the wizards.

The original creator of ‘Suppressor,’ an 8th-level wizard, certainly wouldn’t dream that the creation he made 27 years ago would be used effectively in the future. And he certainly wouldn’t expect that it was one of his disciples that cherished and appreciated his creation this way.

In recent times, wizards were generally not very capable of fighting in the battle. But in the past, there was no way it possible that the on-missioned elite knights could quickly handle a level 2 wizard who possessed an overpowering circle.

All that said, Clayo didn’t seem to know the cause of this mishap. But, if he happened to trace back the origins, he would know that everything that transpired today was Dione’s achievement.

Initially, when Asser’s investigation team began searching around the railway line, they found a clue from the information they had given from it. Of course, the information came from Dione. It was Dione who actuated them and led Clayo to his current situation.

‘My young master might have a higher ability than his registered level. To say it plainly, even Dean Jebedi had guaranteed that he would become an 8-level wizard in the future. I know you might think of it as an act of rebellion from an adolescent boy. But please, I’m begging you to be careful because anything dangerous might happen!’ Dione had said.

Moreover, since the administration of prosecutors and wizards was also within the supervision range of the Royal Capital Defense Corps, Dione used that to appeal to them. “The child’s magic is quite strong, and I would rather suggest that you be careful in handling him; otherwise, I can’t guarantee you’ll be safe, especially with his overpowering magic circle.”

As a result of Dione’s manipulation, Clayo had to feel the sadness of being isolated after being taken into custody in a remote unknown village. Furthermore, he was left barefoot because he didn’t wear any shoes and was still wearing light indoor clothes when he had taken from the hotel.

‘Am I being detained here just because I didn’t register as a 3 level ether user? That couldn’t be the reason! There must be some other reason behind all of this. At that time, it was natural for regular people to be wary of those who looked like cops and detectives. So, they should think that the moves I made against the knights were rational reactions of common people and were purely accidental.’

While Clayo was inside the detention room, he overheard the two knight guards talking with each other. One of the guards said that the first knight who grasped Clayo had already become a full pledge knight earlier this year. And that knight was supposed to be physically durable, but his legs broke when he had thrown away.

Thus, the knights who were guarding Clayo outside his iron cell bars were very vigilant. Clayo tried to protest to them about his illegal detention. Alas, there was no response to his protest. So, Clayo was about to make a fuss to get his answer, but he only got a cold reply: “We will prosecute you if you destroy property while in custody.”

When he heard that, it was clear to him that his situation was terrible. However, even if he wanted to escape, he just couldn’t find a chance to escape, nor could he buy his opportunity to do so.

‘If only I had the ‘Editor’s Authority’ to overwrite this… Ugh. ‘

But, even as Jeongjin thought that he knew that also if he had the editor’s authority here, it was unlikely that the author would support his plan to rewrite this story part.

He knew that no matter how reasonable his modifications might be, the author is the author. And the author had the right to approve the rearrangement or not. Jeongjin had learned that even a frizzled article would still drag and grapple him in its clutch if he couldn’t sway the author’s will; in the worst-case, that is.

“Well, how could I find a way to escape here? Jeongjin thought, as he desperately tried to find a hole to pierce through for his getaway.

Even amid hot summer, the night was quite intense, so Clayo’s back felt cold when lying against a stone floor. Then, in just a few moments, Clayo suddenly was rolling on a cozy armchair.

When did I fall asleep? Jeongjin thought. But, when he regained his senses and found himself seated in the cozy armchair, he was surprised.

Clayo, who crumpled in an uncomfortable position, suddenly opened his eyes to the sound of footsteps echoing the stone floor. Soon, the door to the detention center, which had been closed all the time, was opening.

“Lady!” Clayo exclaimed when he saw who had entered.

It was Dione, still dressed in a perfect outfit, who rushed in with a countenance full of sorrow and anxiety.

She hugged Clayo with tears, as if she was reunited with her lost brother, and begged the knights to release her young master.

It could be said to be a perfect act, worthy of an Academy Award for Best Actress.

However, Clayo could see the lady’s mouth was trembling with laughter that she covered with her lace handkerchief.
