Lanoire's voice was pressed very low.
"Why can't we stay in the Fortress of Meropide forever?"
"Although there are very scary wizards here, there are also good wizards and big brother Caterpillar. I... I don't want to leave."
Actually, there was one more point, which was also what Lanoire worried about the most.
Her mom had previously said she wanted to leave the Fortress of Meropide.
After that, she disappeared and never came back.
She didn't want a life where she could never see big brother Caterpillar again...
[This is probably Caterpillar lying to her.]
[After all, she's too young and definitely afraid she won't be able to accept reality.]
Lumine could tell at once that it was because the child was too young.
She still couldn't understand the concept of life and death.
So Caterpillar had phrased it differently.
However, no matter what, the Fortress of Meropide was not a suitable place for a child to live.
In a place without sunlight, how could a new sprout grow up healthy?
Caterpillar persuaded Lanoire, "Go outside, Lanoire. You've already grown tired of listening to those stories. Outside there is the real world, and relatives connected to you by blood."
He walked to Lanoire's side.
Although the two of them were similar in stature, he looked exceptionally reliable.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I will accompany you out."
Lanoire twisted awkwardly, "Mm... Big brother Caterpillar has never lied to me. I believe you."
[Why not just go find Wriothesley?]
[Seriously, with Lumine's status, as long as the situation is explained clearly, it should be understandable, right?]
Lumine had the same idea.
She wanted to mention this matter to Wriothesley.
However, she was refused by Caterpillar.
Caterpillar seemed not very willing to have contact with Wriothesley.
He also didn't want Lanoire's series of information to be kept in the Fortress of Meropide.
A child born in prison would encounter a lot of trouble in the future.
Moreover, he had already thought of a way to leave this place.
That was to use Estienne's previous [Monopoly Game].
Every once in a while, Estienne would take some people out to handle work outside.
They would use this opportunity to send Lanoire back to her relatives.
For this, he had already saved up a lot of privilege tickets.
However, if Lumine herself was interested in the Monopoly Game, she could try participating.
[I'm idle? When I have money, do I still need to work hard myself?]
[Who would still play with you guys when they're already a tycoon?]
Lumine said she would consider it.
At this moment, a guard came to find her, saying there was a visit.
"Then let's meet again tomorrow." Caterpillar bid the two farewell.
Lumine and Paimon walked toward the visitation room in the Fortress of Meropide.
"Who could it be?"
"Probably Mu Yang or Navia?" Lumine guessed.
She didn't know too many people in Fontaine yet.
Moreover, Lyney and the others had just caused trouble here not long ago.
They probably wouldn't come to touch Wriothesley's bad side again in a short time.
When they pushed the door open, it was indeed Mu Yang.
However, the first words from this cold-faced youth were: "I came to break you out of prison."
— — — — — —
Guinaifen couldn't hold it in, "Is this what happens when you read domineering CEO novels in Fontaine?"
[The domineering CEO's signature disregard for the law.]
[Don't slander him awkwardly. He probably asked Yanfei first.]
[Yanfei: Where did this pot come from?]
Unfortunately, there was no option to say yes in this segment.
She could only choose '...'
"Tch, boring. I thought there would be an elopement."
[Main wife, don't project your personal thoughts onto the game, although I also want to say that.]
— — — — — —
Although Lumine felt very happy hearing these words.
This was still someone else's territory after all.
The walls had ears!
How could he say something like this directly?
Afterward, she still explained their current situation to Mu Yang.
After a quick explanation, Mu Yang also understood the whole story.
"So you just came in to help the Chief Justice. Got it."
After that, Mu Yang also told them about Navia's matters and Seymour's matters.
There should be progress on An's side soon.
Lumine said no problem. She herself could now freely enter and exit the prison at any time.
The reason she hadn't gone out was because she had just encountered a little girl earlier.
Thus, Lumine also told him about Lanoire.
"It would be good if Mu Yang could come to provide support at that time." Paimon suggested.
[Paimon's mouth... does she not realize at all that doing this is committing a crime?]
[The Chief Justice of Fontaine and the Warden are already bros. What's wrong with committing a little crime?]
[Got the picture...]
Although this idea was indeed very risky.
Just in case, Lumine still earnestly asked Mu Yang to help on that day.
Mu Yang agreed.
A few days later...
Lumine had tried to earn privilege tickets through her own efforts.
Unexpectedly, her opponents saw that she was too strong and directly formed an alliance.
However, when the results were announced that day.
All the opponents were dumbfounded.
Caterpillar had taken out two million privilege tickets.
No one else combined had that many.
[Holy shit, cheat!]
[This person is Guinaifen!]
"It's just a little trick."
Caterpillar wasn't lying.
He had stayed in the Fortress of Meropide for a very long time.
He could use the privilege tickets he had accumulated before to hire a lot of people to work for him.
The output of the workers during this period became his gains.
This did not exceed the scope of the rules.
Because the rules themselves were very vague.
Some others were unconvinced.
But Caterpillar did not back down either, "I have a reason why I must win."
Estienne had intended to help them anyway, so he directly announced that Lumine's group had won.
After dismissing everyone, Estienne said, "Later, you all just stay silent. I've already made arrangements in advance; there shouldn't be any problems."
[If nothing goes wrong...]
[It must be that 'bad wizard.']
Several people followed Estienne and left the Fortress of Meropide.
Once they reached the surface, Estienne stretched lazily.
"The natural wind is still more comfortable."
"Although there are fans down below, the air in most places still feels stagnant."
He even complained about the fans in the Punch Force Arena.
"The fans in that place are just like Noailles. You really need the fan to make it spin, and it won't distinguish between you and me, bringing painful experiences to everyone. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Lumine nodded, indicating she understood.
In these past few days, the 'bad wizard' Noailles had caused them no small amount of trouble.
On this side, Lanoire was full of curiosity about everything.
The first thing she asked was, "Where are the walls? You can't see walls anywhere in this place."
"Walls? There are no walls here."
"Then are the walls very, very far away? Big brother Caterpillar said that if they're too far, your eyes might not be able to see them. Just like the horizon."
Lumine seemed to be touched in her soft spot by the child's innocence.
She patiently explained to her that this was Fontaine.
This was the outside world.
The outside world was very vast...
However, a bad person's voice broke the atmosphere.
"Nobody move. Where do you think you're going? And what's with that little girl?"
Noailles appeared on the scene with the security forces.
