Mixed Blessing System



While his mother was building Lothur's fake escape route, he quickly arrived near the Imperial Prison following that level 17 woman.

Arriving in the vicinity of that place, he immediately ordered that woman to stop in a nearby forest where Leopoldine's border with Asken was.

He looked at Ice and said. "You must stay here. The place I am going is dangerous, and if you are with me, I will not be able to pass myself off as someone I am not." He gestured to it, trying to make it understand.

Level 15 beasts were not intelligent enough to learn human language, but they were quite intelligent. They could more or less understand what was happening in their surroundings even though they lived among humans without knowing the language.

Facial expressions and other forms of language were helpful for these creatures to understand their surroundings.

Ice wasn't sure what it was hearing, but noticing Lothur's gestures and tone of voice, it thought he wanted it to stay behind waiting for him.

After 5 minutes of listening to him, it nodded to him, confirming that it understood that it should wait for him in that forest.

Meanwhile, it had several bottles of potions, pills, and some medicines with it, things that Lothur had acquired or produced for his furry companion.

Lothur was not going to leave this beast helpless. With these resources and the time he would be in this prison, he intended that Ice would have a means of survival and still be able to level up.

So he said goodbye to this white creature, following that woman with a mask on her face and dressed entirely in black.

The members of the Imperial Prison dressed so as not to reveal their identity, which was necessary for them to carry out their duties without major problems.

In addition, the way they accessed the prison was rather special, the kind where a single one of these men had great ease in placing and registering a new inmate without anyone knowing.

This was a system to protect the members of this force from retaliation, which worked well in normal times as few people knew the identities of these people.

Unfortunately for the system designed by the Leopoldine family, the woman now enslaved to Lothur was one of the few in the empire who knew how this worked and the identity of these men.

She was a great expert, one of the strongest in the empire, and trustworthy. But as she fell into Lothur's hands, these good characteristics were now against this state, making it possible for this fellow to enter the Imperial Prison without much restriction!

After reaching the area where only members of the force behind this prison could pass, that woman disarmed the formations in her way little by little, without attracting attention.

After arriving at an administrative building that was outside the prison building but within the security area, she immediately registered Kaiser Krause, using the date ten days ago.

Kaiser Krause, an invader of the empire, would be under arrest in this unit while awaiting trial for his crimes, which could take decades to happen.

The empire had no qualms about giving sentences to those in this place waiting for justice, as everyone there was dangerous to the integrity of the state and would be better off kept there.

The possibility of the trial was just something for other relevant people to see and consider that there was justice and the possibility of an innocent person being released if strange things happened.

Lothur had heard that slave girl's explanation of how things worked in this place on the way there, so he was reassured about his stay there.

After that slave had done everything she was supposed to, she looked at the young black-haired man with formations on his neck, wrists, and heels and waited for orders.

"Finish what you are doing and go north," Lothur said. "No one will ever find you. You must end your own life when you reach a point where it is impossible for them to track you and find your body."

She nodded, indicating that she understood and would do what was necessary to fulfill her master's wishes.

"Before that, destroy all your items."

After those words, Lothur looked at the building that looked like a grand black cube in the distance, which had only a strange aura about it.

Due to the formations in that area, the vicinity of that building was so barren that plant life could not develop there. Hence, a black sand desert spread for miles around.

At the same time, the weather in the surrounding area was always close, with gray clouds over that prison, a little cold, and strong winds in the surrounding area.

Lothur was finally near the entrance to this prison, where a creature 20 feet tall, with human arms, ox legs, and horns as big on its head as swords, stood at the entrance, waiting for him.

Such a creature was at level 17 and had a killing look in its eyes, the kind that would frighten even experienced experts.

It said nothing when it saw Lothur. It just displayed its bloody aura while making noises with its bull mouth.

It opened and walked sideways while Lothur walked calmly to the door behind it.

His slave stopped in the middle of the path and watched for a few moments before leaving just as Lothur was about to walk through that door, from which there was no return.

"Human, as of today, you are nobody. You no longer have a name. You are nothing more than a number. 2023. That is your identification inside the Imperial Prison." A being other than the 'gatekeeper' of that prison said as it welcomed Lothur into a small room.

Such a creature looked like a rat the size of an adult human. It had gray fur and glasses over its eyes, with a cigar in its mouth.

The rat said to other strange beings in the vicinity. "Take off his formations and allow this fool to enter his new home!"

With that said, the unique beings who cared for the inmates entering this place moved against Lothur, taking off the formations sealing his cultivation, not afraid of him trying to escape.

In this area, apart from these special beings who were strangely only powerful in this space devoid of energy and laws, everyone else was weakened due to the spiritual poverty of the surroundings.

Because of this, none of them feared that Lothur would act, and they soon released him, making this young man feel how terrible this place was.

'Hmm, now I understand... That's why this place is so bad.' He thought, frowning his eyebrows. 'Without energy and laws, one has to avoid using their abilities here at all costs. If they do, they will be weakened against others!'

And with that in mind, he entered the Imperial Prison, finding a place very different from a prison.

In such a place, the inmates lived free, while the inner area of this square building looked like a small city, with larger buildings on the sides and smaller ones near the center.

At the top of this area, a glowing sphere illuminated the whole area, enough for one to see this mostly red and gray place.

Upon seeing this strange 'city,' Lothur was momentarily silent as an old man approached him.

"Welcome to the City of Darkness, young man. You are in hell now, young man. How do you intend to survive here? I advise you to join a group quickly, or you will perish!"

Lothur did not look at that being and said. "That's where you're wrong, old man. It is not I who am in hell. It is you who are in hell with me!"
