Salam Raja - Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Strange Situation (Part One)

Ribry didn’t resist at all. Instead, he saved his energy and followed Soroyov and the soldiers out of this prison.

The underground tunnel was cold and moist, and it felt terrifying. When observing closer, one could see the dark spots on the walls and smell the stinky odor. These dark spots were all spilled blood, and they dried onto the wall with time.

After a long while, the all the walls were covered by blood and turned into a dark, brown color. The more ancient the blood drops were, and darker the color was.

Who knew how many people were killed in this prison for the tunnel to turn to this color.

It was no different to h.e.l.l.

“Hehe, Mr. Ribry, now looking back, it seems like we have worked together for more than a dozen years. Our relations.h.i.+p was steady and stable for many years, but why did you flip out on me as soon as that King of Chambord got here? Why did you place the butcher knives on the neck of your old friends? Switching to that d.a.m.n idiotic king’s side instantly? You were so cruel……” Soroyov mocked Ribry with a confident smile on his face. It felt like he was in control of the entire situation.

Ribry looked up at him and said in a low voice, “I regret it now. I regret not convincing King Alexander His Majesty to kill you, the old fat dog who is always up to no good!”

Anger instantly appeared on Soroyov’s face, but a series of laughter quickly sounded.

“Why? That idiotic little king is going to be killed by Crown Prince His Highness sooner or later. Humph! That Alexander needs to take a good look at himself! How dare he go against the will of Arshavin His Highness? If you are still going to be on his side, you will be killed easily. Since we were once friends and worked together well, I will give you one last opportunity. If you just report the crime that the King of Chambord committed, which is treason, I will convince Mr. Mathewson to let you live.” Mayor Soroyov tried to get Ribry to jump s.h.i.+p.

“Ha! Mr. Alexander is a powerful master! No one could do anything to him! Old fat dog, although I, Ribry, am not a hero, I’m not a loser who would wriggle his tail at his master to please him!”

“You……” Soroyov finally could no longer hold his anger in and keep up the proper n.o.ble-like behavior.

As a vicious expression appeared on his face, he patted and rubbed Ribry’s back, which was full of injuries, forcefully until streaks of blood flowed out of the newly-formed scars. Until expressions of pain appeared on Ribry’s face, Soroyov shouted, “Ok, you dumb f*ck! Just wait for your death! Soon, you will want your death, just like your 20 guards!”

Ribry’s face changed color. He asked anxiously, “What did you guys do to my brothers?”

Fear suddenly appeared in Soroyov’s squinted eyes as if he thought of something terrifying. Then, he laughed cruelly, “Don’t worry; you will soon find out.”

After walking for about ten minutes and making a lot of turns, they finally got out of the underground prison and arrived at an even more well-hidden s.p.a.ce.

This was a gloomy stone palace.

There were fully armed soldiers standing on the two sides of the palace and corridors, and they looked around with awareness.

Also, the well-hidden magic energy fluctuations told the powerful masters that magic traps were everywhere.

Without changing his expression, Ribry secretly memorized the path that they took to get here, and he also remembered all the locations of the structures and forked road. Too bad that his warrior energy was ruined. Otherwise, he might have a chance at getting away.

After walking into the palace, they continued deeper into the building on a red carpet.

After another ten minutes, the view in front of them brightened up.

This was Ribry’s first time being here after being captured three days ago.

This palace was well lit, and a faint sweet yet oily smell attacked people’s noses; it didn’t fit the description of a b.l.o.o.d.y torture hall where there were a ton of b.l.o.o.d.y metal tools. Instead, this hall looked peaceful and calm.

There were gilded decorations pieces, long cow horns, and dried deer skulls around, and a screen that had a scene from a war engraved on it divided the palace into two sections.

Also, ten white-dressed maids were waiting quietly before the screen.

In the front half of the palace, there were stone benches, and there stood 20 commanders who were in black metal armors. They were all around the strength of Three-Star and Four Star, and they looked at Ribry with sympathetic looks despite their fierce auras.

Chapter 617: Strange Situation (Part Two)

Right in front of the screen, there was a set of stone table and chairs.

Ribry looked at the person who was sitting in the middle of the stone table, and it was Special Envoy Mathewson.

This was a burly, dark-skinned, mid-aged man who had an upturned nose and bell-like round eyes. As all the hair on him stood straight, an intense murderous spirit enveloped him. Currently, he was dressed in a black robe, and he was looking down at Ribry pitifully as a cruel smile appeared on his face.

“Crown Prince His Highness treasures your talent, and he doesn’t want to kill you. Therefore, I will give you the last chance. Are you willing to talk?” Mathewson opened his mouth, and his chilly voice decreased the temperature in the palace by several degrees.

“Humph!” Ribry knew what these people wanted to hear, so he only snorted.

“Ok, you are seeking death.” Mathewson turned around and said to a triangular-eyed old man who had a goatee and looked like was in his fifties, “Since this is the case, then please do what you need to do, Mr. Alpha.”

It seemed like this old man was on the same level as Mathewson, and he had been looking at Ribry with a strange expression on his face since Ribry walked in.

This goateed old man named Alpha nodded.

Then, two water-elemental mages stepped forward and chanted a spell. As they waved their hands, two beams of blue energy flames landed on Ribry. A series of numbing and comfortable sensations appeared, and all the pain that Ribry was feeling was gone since all the injuries on his body that were left after the interrogations were healed.

Ribry was surprised; he didn’t know why his enemies were healing him.

With a cruel expression on his face, this goateed, triangular-eyed old man took out a green bottle out of his sleeve, weighed it in his hand, and said with a pitiful tone, “This is a purple-colored G.o.d-tier potion. The King of Chambord calls it [Full Rejuvenation Potion], and he offered the formula to Crown Prince His Highness. The royal potion masters successfully created it, and its effect is miraculous. It can help you reform the star swirls and recover the energy channels……”

After saying that, he threw this little bottle to Ribry.

“Drink it; your strength will come back.”

Ribry caught the bottle, took off the lid, and smelled it.

“It is Mr. Alexander’s [Full Rejuvenation Potion]!” he thought. He had seen this miraculous potion a month ago when Fei used it during battle, and it was a G.o.d-tier potion that could even save people from death.

Although he didn’t know what trick this old man was playing, Ribry didn’t hesitate and drank the whole thing.

Instantly, he felt streaks of heated energy rus.h.i.+ng in his body. He clearly sensed the rapid recovery of his broken energy channels, and the shattered star swirls were quickly reappearing like candles that were lit again. Soon, the warrior energy started to circulate in Ribry’s body, and the green warrior energy flame on his body got brighter and brighter. His strength only stopped growing when it reached peak Five-Star.

He completely recovered！

As he sensed the long-lost power in his body, Ribry clenched his fist and felt in control once again. He was tricked three days ago, and he drank poisoned tea and lost his combat abilities…… This time……

He looked up, and his eyes shone brightly; he didn’t hide his murderous spirit.

As he unleashed his full strength, he created many dashes of wind in the palace. With his eyes locked onto Special Envoy Mathewson, he walked forward and asked by emphasizing each word, “B*stard, tell me where my brothers are at!”

“Haha! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Don’t worry, you will soon understand.” Mathewson sensed the confidence and battle-hungriness in Ribry who recovered his strength, but this special envoy just laughed as if he heard the funniest joke. His laughter was filled with mockery and disdain.

That goateed, triangular-eyed old man also had excitement and cruelty on his face at this moment.

Suddenly, Ribry discovered that this old man only had one ear. However, that didn’t seem relevant in this situation.

“I need to capture their leader! I will control this Mathewson first and force them to hand over my 20 brothers…… They better be fine…… Otherwise……” Ribry looked around and thought, “If they are no longer alive, I will kill everyone at this Mayor’s Mansion as well as the n.o.bles in the city to avenge for them!”

Ribry made up his mind.

As he roared and was about to dash forward, he suddenly heard a burst of ear-piercing laughter coming from behind the screen, “Haha! Success! Next!”

That voice resonated in the stone palace.
