The Sword God of Shili Slope in the Magical World

In a luxurious manor.

The elegant and exquisite back garden, coupled with the hardworking and diligent gardeners, all highlight the extraordinary status of the owner of this manor.

"Professor Su De, what brings you here...?"

Diana looked at Sud, who was dressed in a black robe, with a very surprised expression.

Su De removed his hood and calmly said, "Fei Xue was arrested, and I was implicated as an accomplice, so we have to hide our whereabouts to avoid being discovered by the eldest prince's men."

"Has Captain Fei Xue been arrested and imprisoned?"

When Diana heard the news, she was completely incredulous.

"How could that be? No one could lay a hand on the commander without His Majesty the King's permission."

She thought it was utterly unbelievable.

In just two days, the capital city has undergone such a dramatic change?

Sude shook his head and said, "There is still no news from the king. I suspect that the guards of the royal city have been taken over by the eldest prince, and Archmage Zorn has completely sided with the eldest prince's faction."

Diana still found it too absurd.

"And the ministers, the Second Prince's army, and the Knights..."

Sud sighed, "The Knights are leaderless now. Without the Grand Master's orders, no one dares to act rashly. As for the Second Prince, he is now accused of treason. Diana, I know you are sad, but it is clear that this is a coup."

After a long while, Diana finally recovered from the shock and asked worriedly, "Professor Sud, what can we do now?"

Su De said earnestly, "Of course, I want to rescue Fei Xue, which is why I came to find you."

"I've already given instructions to the vice-commander. As long as things go smoothly on our end, the Radiant Knights can be deployed without any problems."

Diana seemed to have found her anchor, nodding vigorously: "If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."

Sude explained, "The most crucial step is to obtain the king's approval, then break out of prison and rescue Feixue. Only then will we have the strength to fight, hold the moral high ground, and not be swayed by the eldest prince."

"I remember that your father, Earl Chris, funded the construction of Blackstone Prison, had oversight of the prison, and was very familiar with its layout."

Diana paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Yes, that is indeed the case."

His father had invested in so many projects that, in addition to prisons, he was also involved in other churches, markets, and estates.

Adhering to the principle of making many attempts and trying many things, he left behind a vast network of connections in the capital.

She would have forgotten about it if Teacher Su De hadn't brought it up.

It seems the teacher had already done the research beforehand.

The moment Sude heard that Fei Xue had been imprisoned for being involved in the royal power struggle, seven or eight plans had already formed in his mind.

There are plans to break out of prison and escape from the capital, as well as a clumsy approach of brute force, killing everything in sight, and even a plan to summon allies and get Bereya's help...

In short, he considered every possible method.

Ultimately, the most prudent approach was taken.

Firstly, he was no longer a hot-blooded youth. Relying solely on passion to try and break into the execution ground like others, fighting against a hundred men single-handedly from beginning to end, would undoubtedly be the worst approach. It would confirm his guilt, even if it was false, and make it true.

Going against the entire kingdom would undoubtedly be unwise.

Secondly, what Fei Xue wants is a stable future.

The glory and achievements she built over ten years must not be tarnished in any way; otherwise, it would be worse than killing her.

Su De also fully understood this feeling.

Therefore, the only option is to outsmart him, using the mature methods of a middle-aged man.

Sude continued, "The Knights must not move before receiving the King's order, otherwise it will be a heinous crime, an act of defiance against the entire kingdom, and will only confirm Fei Xue's charges of treason and treason. After you draw the prison's layout, give it to me, and I will infiltrate the prison and find out the whole story from Fei Xue."

Diana asked worriedly, "Teacher, are you really alright all by yourself? Blackrock Prison is heavily guarded, and the warden is very strong. He is second only to Archmage Zorn and possesses three different battle auras. It is said that he retired from the front lines and has fought against the Demon King's army many times, achieving remarkable results."

Sud shook his head: "I already said, it's a covert operation. As long as the warden doesn't find out and there's no direct confrontation, it's fine."

"Blackrock Prison has seven levels and is heavily guarded..."

Su De interrupted, "The teacher naturally has his own methods."

"All right."

Only by understanding the reasons and the whole story can we find the right solution.

Sude assigned the task: "You are in charge of testing the king. After all, your father is an earl and has the right to freely enter the palace."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Diana nodded vigorously.

She had received so much help from the troupe leader, so no matter what, she was determined to rescue him this time.

......

After receiving the blueprints from Diana, Sude returned to his residence and took out the "Tracking and Finding Talisman" and "Aura Concealment Talisman" that he had recently obtained from his storage ring.

Say it silently.

The talisman transformed into a faint light, pointing towards the northwest of the royal city—the Black Stone Prison.

Another layer covered his body, lasting for half an hour.

That night, Sud quietly sneaked into Blackstone Prison.

Using the concealment spell, he hid in the shadows of the prison and saw two plainclothes, agile jailer knights pacing in front of the cell gate, their eyes occasionally glancing at the crowd of people coming and going outside to ask questions.

One of them wore a short sword at his waist engraved with a fine crosshair—the symbol of the eldest prince's forces.

"They've got spies at both the church and the prison... quite a few troops."

Su De narrowed his eyes, already having made up his mind.

He actually had another plan, which he did not tell Diana.

He also devised a corresponding plan for the second prince.

At this moment, the most anxious person is neither him nor Feixue.

It should be this second prince.

Taking advantage of the second prince's anxious state of mind, there is great potential to be made, which could significantly weaken the eldest prince's power.

As for how to make the second prince panic and cause chaos, he had already decided on the person to do it.

Deputy Commander Richard.

This former genius was an extremely dazzling figure before Fei Xue appeared.

Later, he harbored resentment because Feixue replaced him, and was then bewitched by the second prince.

Human nature is not inherently bad; it's just that youthful impetuosity almost led him astray.

Sud had known all along that Richard was the second prince's spy.

The reason is simple: Richard's elite aristocratic class happens to be the second prince's faction, and in addition, this kid often observes him intentionally or unintentionally, so you can basically see his figure every day.

It's hard not to notice when someone suddenly follows you around like a tagalong.

Fortunately, Sud had been observing Richard's attitude towards him.

Gradually, things changed. From initial malice to hesitation about whether to ask for advice, and finally to admiration and respect, leading him to abandon surveillance, he witnessed the child's entire behavior.

The bureaucratic class behind the eldest prince is bound to a powerful military ministerial system, and also has considerable support from the royal family.

As long as the old king lives, he will always be the prince.

Next year, the eldest prince will be thirty years old, catching up with his father, but the old king is still not dead.

This caused the eldest prince's heart to be very unbalanced, and he was always on edge.

And so this drama unfolded.

If one can control the Knights under Fei Xue's control, then most of the obstacles to becoming king will disappear.

He will be the new king then.

Sude had already seen through the eldest prince's little scheme.

However, he didn't know whether other forces were involved.

This is also the point he most wants to investigate.
