Chapter 781 - 739: Imprisonment_1

As the "Emperor" saw it, to use a phrase popular on the internet, she would perfectly fit anyone’s typical image of a tech geek. The modifications she spoke of were not limited to mere renovations; before his arrival, RT6 had established a small communication network within the scrap processing plant, which allowed the three of them to communicate remotely during their stealth prison operation.

If RT6 were to be evaluated as a comrade, few could be more competent commanders than she.

She always managed to make the most rational decisions in the most complicated situations, and the "Emperor" almost never questioned her judgments.

However, this meeting revealed another side of the genius mechanic to him.

In their subsequent conversations, she shared various interesting experiences of her own.

For instance, she had infiltrated makeup artist forums of the Kolo Film Industry and even attended many offline gatherings of makeup artists. She also helped with the setup of many large-scale events such as rescuer fan meetings and film premieres, maintaining a sense of mystery and professionalism in the industry.

Thanks to this, she would often catch wind of gossip about national-level rescuers.

Yet, this was the first time she met with her own "fans".

Once she grew familiar, RT6 opened up and could talk incessantly by herself for an entire afternoon, giving the "Emperor", who was originally indifferent to the showbiz industry rescuers, a complete understanding of the industry.

He wasn’t opposed to this experience.

The pace slowed down, allowing him to pay attention to aspects beyond duty and mission, and in some sense, return to the life of a "mortal".

Upon reflection, this was also his first time engaging in such lengthy and frivolous conversations with someone.

He and those national-level rescuers were never meant to be on the same path; perhaps they would never interact in their lifetimes.

In the past, even his idle chats with the "outside" residents often had a strong purpose.

The three days passed by swiftly.

RT6 did not like to owe favors, so as a form of repay, she assisted RT4 in creating a large batch of electronic devices, significantly advancing RT4’s campaign plans. These gadgets were very popular in the City of Kings, even among the high-level councilors. Those accustomed to modern life found it difficult to return to a "primitive society", and after spending too much time in the City of Kings, they felt out of place everywhere. The influx of these electronic products solved their urgent needs.

What they didn’t know, however, was that their every move was under surveillance by the mechanical army.

Three days later, in the early morning, they found the perfect opportunity to make their move.

According to reliable information obtained from within the City of Kings, King Zeruo of Atlantis was scheduled to personally visit the prison that morning, which was very likely related to the Princess and the submerged Secret Treasure.

The encroachment of the mechanical army gave Zeruo a sense of crisis. After hosting banquets for several days, he finally decided to engage in some serious matters.

This "prison visit" was highly classified. He only brought his personal guards with him, leaving his allies in the High-level Parliament completely unaware.

RT6 relayed this information to the "Emperor".

The prison’s structure was extremely complex, and one could easily get lost in it forever if not careful. Following Zeruo was undoubtedly the best method.

Omelo had mentioned many things about the prison. In reality, it was not the Tidal Church or the Kingdom Army that managed the prison, but rather envoys sent personally by the Tidal Master to guard the sea-bottom prison. High-ranking ministers from the palace were also generally forbidden to enter, and any intruders would face the wrath of the Tidal Master.

For years, Omelo had been trying to orchestrate a rescue, but he could never find a starting point.

The biggest issue was that no one knew the layout of the prison.

He utilized all his connections but only obtained the architectural blueprints from before the city’s submersion. At the peak of their civilization, the prison was originally used to detain political prisoners and heretics.

But after Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, most places underwent alterations, and over the following millennia, only Zeruo had entered the sea-bottom prison.

"In fact, the prison was already abandoned during the time when Zeruo became king."

Paladin nervously shared with his companions the results of his research over the past few days, "Zeruo is a depraved Tyrant; all who opposed him were executed on the spot, with no possibility of being sent to prison. Now, those imprisoned here are members of the royal family from before the fall of Atlantis."

As for whether they lived to this day like Zeruo, that remained unknown.

Guided by RT6, the trio quickly found the entrance to the undersea prison.

A whirlpool blocked their way, and even RT6 couldn’t detect what lay beyond it. They only knew that Zeruo had gone in there, and before entering, had left his personal guard waiting at the entrance.

The main reason was that Atlantis was still in the "primitive society" stage, where she could hardly maneuver.

Entry was strictly forbidden, and trespassers would be put to death without exception.

This was the order he had given to his guards.

A severe problem confronted the three of them—being involved in a conflict with the guards and entering by force would highly likely attract the attention of the emissaries of the Tide Master, and no one knew how many emissaries the Tide Master had dispatched.

"What do we do now?"

Paladin passed the question to the other two, and as a companion, he could eliminate one wrong answer for them—he was obviously not trustworthy, and placing hope in him was akin to walking into certain death.

"Can’t your Father God think of something?"

RT6 couldn’t come up with any good ideas at the moment, so he kicked the tricky question over to Diago.

However, she made it clear to "Emperor" that this didn’t mean that machinery had lost to Spiritual Energy; it was entirely because these primitives were still in the barbaric stage.

"I’ll try..."

Diago made strange symbols on the wall, and before he could recite those obscure symbols, he heard the instructions from Father God.

This brought him joy because he realized that Father God had always been watching over them.

"Father God says we should go in directly."

"Go in directly? Are you sure?"

Paladin hesitated.

Without a word, Diago faithfully carried out the instructions of Father God and took the words "go in directly" to the extreme. He even abandoned stealth and disguise, walking towards the whirlpool entrance facing the two guards.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded before Paladin.

The guards at the entrance, as if blinded, allowed Diago to pass without a second glance, letting him enter directly.

"Emperor" immediately followed in Diago’s footsteps.

Seeing this, Paladin, despite his many doubts, had no choice but to head into the whirlpool.

A moment later, Diago’s vision cleared.

He found himself in a dark corridor, surrounded by pitch-black darkness where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, just as Paladin had said—this prison had probably been abandoned for over a thousand years.

All around was a silence as deep as death, and the space beside him was void; both "Emperor" and Paladin had disappeared.

Before he could seek further instructions from Father God, Father God took the initiative.

"Where are the two of them?"

In this endless darkness, Father God posed this tricky question to him.
