In the dungeon, worm spits out a bunch of insect silk and reaches into Manda\'s nostrils.

This is a special way of communication they came up with. After many times of practice, they can exchange each other\'s ideas silently, although the process is a little disgusting.

They discussed three countermeasures:

Scheme 1: escape from the dungeon.

This is what Manda came up with, but worm disagreed.

He knew that Manda\'s claws could easily open the iron lock, but he left insect filaments along the way and could feel the tight guard of the dungeon.

The whole dungeon has three floors. They are at the bottom. Every time they go up, they have to pass through a gate. Each gate is guarded by at least ten guards, including at least one first-order ancient god believer.

In other words, you must pass through the triple gate, three ancient god believers and 30 guards, and you can\'t disturb the people outside the dungeon, otherwise you will be directly killed by the experts around the viscount.

More importantly, even if he succeeds in running away, he must give up the tavern. In any case, this is not the result that worm wants to see.

Scheme 2: reveal the identity of the count and intimidate the other party

This is the plan put forward by worm.

The count once told worm that he could show the other party that he was the subordinate of count haze as long as he did not involve the power of the divine Punisher. The count of resentment haze seems to have a great deterrent in some places. Worm believes that the other party will never dare to hurt them as long as they hear the count\'s name.

But Manda disagreed. If Viscount gassack hated pretenders very much, he might do impulsive things in anger, more impulsive than pumping intestines. And they probably couldn\'t see the Viscount, and they were probably dealt with directly by the two tax collectors or slightly higher officials.

Scheme 3: make up taxes and pay fines.

This is the safest countermeasure. It\'s the inspiration Manda found from her friend next door.

He didn\'t pay half of the taxes, and at least saved one life. If Manda paid all the taxes and paid some fines, maybe he didn\'t have to cut his ears or his nose. It would be so over.

They only owed 25 silver coins in taxes. Even if they paid a ten times fine, it was only two and a half gold coins.

With worm\'s money and 80 silver coins from selling wine, Manda had almost three gold coins left in her hand. After paying the fine, there were more than 30 silver coins left, which could compensate the two beaten tax collectors.

This strategy was recognized by worm, but worm suggested Manda to leave a few silver coins because the new year was coming. He didn\'t want to spend the first new year in the tavern too shabby.

At the end of the communication, worm took back the worm silk and swallowed it back into his mouth. Manda thought about how to meet the viscount and admit her mistake.

Of course, the best way is to bribe. Manda took out two silver coins and waited for the emergence of prison guards to buy relations at all levels. At least he had to meet the two tax collectors or even higher-level officials before he could get in touch with the viscount.

When it was time to deliver the meal, the jailer appeared at the bottom of the dungeon with a heavy car. Manda saw a prisoner exchange ten copper coins for an extra piece of bread from the jailer. It seems that bribery really works.

Looking at the jailer coming to the cage, Manda quickly handed over two silver coins. Among a group of poor prisoners, two silver coins were obviously a rare huge sum of money. The jailer\'s eyes were locked by silver coins and didn\'t want to leave for a long time.

But he twisted his neck hard and sent the food to the cage. He didn\'t accept Manda\'s silver coins.

Failed to bribe? What\'s the reason? Is this jailer an honest man?

How could this be possible? He had received dozens of copper coins on the way to deliver the meal.

Why refuse your bribe? It must have been "told" by some people, hoping it didn\'t come from the two beaten tax collectors.

The food in the dungeon was terrible. Everyone had only a small piece of bread and a small bowl of vegetable soup, and only this food every day.

Worm soaked the bread in the vegetable soup and ate it very sweet.

Manda took a bite of bread, licked the blood on her teeth, stuffed it into her arms and kept it as a defensive weapon.

If you can\'t see the Viscount, other ideas are futile, and the only effective countermeasure is to escape.

It\'s time to take action tonight while you\'re not tortured into a loser by this ghost place.

In the dark dungeon, day and night could not be distinguished. Seeing that most of the prisoners were asleep, Manda gave worm a look.

Worm closed his eyes and carefully felt the change of insect silk. He came from the cage along the corridor to the stairs, slowly came to the exit of the dungeon along the stairs, until he came to the ground, passed through the yard of the castle and came to the moat. The suspension bridge of the moat seemed to be closed

There is no suspension bridge. Anyway, worm can fly. Through all the investigation, worm didn\'t feel the breath of the strong. He only felt a first-class believer on the second floor of the dungeon.

As long as you are prepared, it is not difficult to kill a first rank. Manda comes to the door and is about to cut the chain with her golden fingers. Suddenly, fat Knight Stanley comes over with two soldiers.

Ah! It is destiny. Manda glared at worm, who was deeply suspicious of the worm\'s detection ability.

Then he turned and smiled at the knight, pretending to feel for the fence of the cage.

Stanley smiled at them. "Mr. Remus, and your son, Mr. nidali, I know it\'s impolite, but I can\'t find your last name."

Is it necessary to tangle with this? Manda looked at Stanley in surprise. In this era, civilians can\'t have surnames, and he shouldn\'t use Mr. to call civilians, especially two prisoners.

However, on second thought, his politeness may represent the Viscount\'s attitude, and in his capacity, he is willing to appear here to prove that things will take a great turn.

Stanley saw that the two men didn\'t respond and continued, "I think the two gentlemen have understood the purpose of my coming here. If there\'s nothing else, let\'s start now."

Manda pursed her lips, rubbed her hands and said, "to be honest, I don\'t quite understand your purpose, and I\'d like to know where we should go."

"Everyone can\'t escape fate when we go to the place we are destined to go," Stanley\'s expression was a little more serious. "I know they have extraordinary skills, so I can only send them in person."

Manda\'s face turned white and worm was silly.

Was sentenced to death so soon and executed by a third-order believer?

There is no chance of escape.

The two men were carried out of the cage by the soldiers and walked along the corridor towards the stairs.

The prisoner with his ears and nose cut off shouted, "God bless you and may you live forever in his kingdom!"
