Chapter 1470: Chapter 1464: The Awakened Prisoner

A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Ronald and his two companions weaved through the streets and alleys of the city.

When they happened to pass by a clock shop, Costate released the palm pressing on the unconscious person’s body and said to Ronald, who was behind him:

"Sir, the effect of the Magic Potion has been removed, this guy is about to wake up."

"..."

"This guy finally woke up!" Hearing the voice, Nicole was the first to lean over.

She took the unconscious Caster from Costate’s hands and casually sat him on the windowsill of the clock shop display.

"Hey! Old man, wake up!"

The effect of the Magic Potion in the unconscious person’s body had been removed by Costate, and there was no need to give him a slap or anything. It was in Nicole’s calls that he slowly opened his eyes.

"I... you guys... why am I here..."

The newly awakened Caster first saw Nicole’s smiling face in front of him and was about to ask dazedly.

But when he instinctively observed the surrounding environment, he saw Ronald and Costate standing by.

The face of the awakening person changed drastically, with his gaze going from confusion to clarity in an instant.

"Ronald! Ronald Adler!"

"Why is a monster like you here!"

The emotionally intense awakener was about to stand up and cast a spell to protect himself.

However, at that moment, he felt a powerful pressure on his shoulders.

The girl’s slender hands held him firmly in place. Simultaneously, a high level of Magic Power infiltrated his body, preventing him from activating spells in defense.

Was it this girl in front?

Only then did the awakener realize that Nicole, who was holding his shoulders, was not someone to be trifled with.

Although the girl appeared to be smiling merrily.

Judging solely by the strength and intensity of her Magic Power, she’s not an opponent to be underestimated.

Even without being imprisoned, he may not be able to win against her in a fair battle.

Meanwhile, being once again labeled a monster, Ronald’s tone was uncomfortable as he began to speak:

"Sir, I suggest you calm down."

"If you take a good look around, you’ll find that this is not the prison you ought to be in."

Ronald’s reminder, along with his own situation, quickly gave the awakener a clear understanding of his circumstances.

After a few seconds of thought.

His mind gradually cleared, he sighed and honestly responded:

"Alright, I understand the situation now."

"You must have a considerable conflict with the Nine Commandments Meeting and have rescued me from that damned cage, surely because you need some help, right?"

"Page 260, Item 6, Volume Eleven." Nicole openly recited the spell for the lie detector.

She then released her grip on his shoulder, drew different runes with each hand, and bluntly asked:

"It’s simple, I want to know where the Book of Interpretation is."

"As long as you tell me the information and prove its authenticity, you can immediately gain your freedom and do whatever you desire."

The awakener raised an eyebrow, the mention of the Book of Interpretation piqued his nerves.

However, he didn’t immediately answer the question directly but instead questioned the capabilities of Ronald and his group:

"Pardon my saying—relying solely on your abilities to steal the Book of Interpretation here is quite delusional."

"Do you want to extract information from me?" Nicole, who had dealt with numerous criminals during her years as an investigator, saw through his intentions without needing spell assistance.

Unveiled intentions, the awakener did not hide.

He stared directly into Nicole’s eyes and answered with a calm and sincere tone:

"Having just escaped that cage, I naturally need all kinds of information. Otherwise, if I’m caught as soon as I’ve made my escape, everything would be pointless."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Nicole turned and exchanged a glance with Ronald.

After exchanging opinions through their gazes, the investigator girl once again faced the awakener sitting under the window:

"Firstly, to be clear, we are not going to steal, but directly seize!"

"Just yesterday, your guild leader left this city with their most trusted subordinates. No one can guarantee when they will return, and no one can stop our actions."

"So my advice is—you better tell us the information quickly, which will also buy you more time for your subsequent actions."

"Impossible, why would they leave this city?" The awakener’s reaction was quite intense as if the words ’you’re lying to me’ were written all over his face. "Abandoning their long-established headquarters and leaving shouldn’t happen—even if the nonsense from the original text brainwashed them, they wouldn’t make such a foolish choice!"

Objectively speaking, the actions of the Nine Commandments Meeting’s leader were indeed baffling.

If someone else had told Ronald’s group such information, they would not believe it without evidence.

Therefore, for the suspicion of the awakener, Ronald took a more direct approach.

"Start forming our awareness from the relationship between the entire earth and sky!"

Ronald recited a spell, lifting the person off the ground. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The four of them, following the power brought by the spell, flew straight up into the city’s sky.

Amidst the drizzle,

they ascended straight, reaching a few hundred meters high, looking down.

At this moment, the sun had not yet risen, but the dawn was breaking on the horizon.

Under the reflection of the morning light and the firelight below, the awakened Caster also clearly saw the chaotic scene of the city below.

—The city was in a terrible state of chaos.

Moreover, it seemed that there was no one, or organization, to stop and correct this situation.

Faced with this scene, the awakener instinctively turned his gaze towards the direction of the government building. He wanted to know what on earth the high-level members of the Nine Commandments Meeting were doing, allowing the city to become this way.

—It was a wasteland full of scorch marks; no living or dead bodies existed on the ground, only a few large pits lying quietly on the ground.

Shock and confusion rose on the awakener’s face.

How could this be possible?

The chaotic city, the ruined wasteland, and his inexplicable escape from prison. In the intersection of several bizarre realities, his previously orderly thoughts could no longer process the present scene.

At this moment, Ronald’s voice reached the awakener’s ears:

"If you’ve seen those ruins, there’s no need to think further, I’ll tell you directly, that was our doing, along with the thunder that sounded before."

"..."

The awakener slowly closed his eyes.

He stayed like that in thought for a few seconds, then opened his eyes again, his gaze no longer fixated on the scene before him.

Instead, accommodating reality, he provided Ronald and his group with the needed information:

"We’ll head to the western part of the city."

"If nothing changed after I was imprisoned, the Book of Interpretation is there."
