Chapter 180 Silas, a Prison Escapee, Is Worthy of Being a Wizard
The proud prince of Asgard, the god of mischief, certainly would not understand the thoughts of a poor boy at the bottom and the pressure of cruel reality.
However, Silas's experience seems to have verified Loki's conjecture.
After joining the Demon Hunting Team, Silas was not regarded as their own person, but just a tool.
Because Silas's talent is very special, he can directly sense the existence of magic without the help of any external objects, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the Demon Hunting Team in hunting down wizards among the people.
The Demon Hunting Team hates wizards and magic very much. They catch people with magical talents and either execute them directly or put them in prison.
But the problem is that even under high pressure, this country is not completely free of magic.
Silas found that the existence of magic in the upper class of the kingdom, the powerful elite class, does not seem to be taboo, but rather rampant.
He dutifully reported the matter to the Demon Hunting Team, but did not receive any response.
Isn't the purpose of the Demon Hunting Team to clean up all magic in the kingdom?
Why is it indifferent this time?
Silas finally understood that the Demon Hunting Team was only targeting ordinary people at the bottom. If any of them had awakened their magical talents, they would be dealt with most harshly!
Even if some powerful people in the upper class of the kingdom used the power of magic unscrupulously, the Demon Hunting Team would just turn a blind eye.
This made him lose his faith and respect for this country.
And Loki still looked down on him, "It's too late to know, idiot! Even if you know this, what can you do? You can't change anything!"
No matter which world there is privilege, even Asgard is no exception. Loki himself is a member of the privileged class, and he naturally won't stand on the side of Silas, who is suffering at the bottom.
Silas realized the true face of the Demon Hunting Team, but it was really useless. He was just a tool, but a seed had been planted in his heart!
Later, during a mission, he met a poor little girl who also awakened her magical talent. Silas felt compassion and decided to protect this poor girl.
However, the little girl was still discovered by the Demon Hunting Team. They dared not and could not open their mouths to the powerful and wealthy, but they could show their ferocious fangs to these poor people at the bottom.
Even if the other party was just a little girl and an ordinary farmer father who just wanted to protect his daughter.
Silas finally couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and tried to stop the tragedy, but unfortunately, the tragedy still happened.
The poor girl, her father and the members of the Demon Hunting Team were all wiped out, only Silas survived, but he was immediately imprisoned in the lowest prison by the Demon Hunting Team and strictly guarded.
One prison is fifteen years!
In these fifteen years, Silas completely figured it out. He no longer regarded magic as a curse, but devoted himself to studying the secrets of magic and his own talents.
He also realized the darkness and corruption of this kingdom. He wanted revenge and was determined to change all this!
But the most important thing is how to escape from this heavily guarded prison.
"No wonder his title is the Liberator? In fact, he is a prisoner!" Seeing this, Loki felt a little regretful and felt that he had made a loss this time.
In his opinion, Silas was too ordinary. At best, he was just a poor fugitive. What kind of powerful power could a prisoner have inherited?
But then again, what Loki was going to do was exactly the same as Silas. After returning to Earth, he had to consider how to escape from prison.
Anyway, Silas finally escaped successfully. He found that in addition to his talent for directly perceiving magic, he actually had another ability - stealing magic!
And during the years he was imprisoned in prison, he also met a special friend - Lux.
This was a noble lady from a wealthy family. She also had a strong talent for magic. She found Silas specifically to learn some magic knowledge from him.
Ha, they were both born with awakened magic talents, but because of their different identities and status, one was outside the prison and the other was inside the prison.
This is really an absurd but realistic world!
Silas finally agreed to Lux. In fact, Lux could exchange magic knowledge from him with only the news from the outside. This transaction didn't seem fair.
But Silas thought more. He wanted to use Lux to test his research results on the forbidden magic stone and the talent of stealing magic. Once successful, he could escape smoothly!
"Stealing other people's magic? It sounds interesting."
Loki didn't care about Silas' fate and life experience. The story of a low-level person struggling to escape fate was not attractive to him.
However, Silas's magic talent attracted Loki's attention. He couldn't help but start to daydream. If he could inherit this ability, could he steal Odin and Frigga's magic?
The only uncertainty was how powerful this talent of stealing magic was?
Soon, Loki saw the effect.
Silas wanted to have a contact with Lux. Just a small contact, holding hands, he could complete the experiment and escape from prison.
However, since then, Lux has never come to him again, because their relationship was known to Lux's family, and Lux's family was powerful in the kingdom.
On the one hand, they strictly prohibited Lux from contacting Silas, and on the other hand, they used their influence to directly sentence Silas to death by hanging!
Ha, a noble lady just came to chat with you, a lowly prisoner, and made a big profit by the way, but ended up bringing you disaster?
This is the cruel reality of the strict class system!
On the gallows, Silas quietly waited for the final judgment. Of course, he would not accept the appointment, and he would resist even if he died.
Lux also came. She tried to save this friend, but unfortunately she could not change Silas's death sentence.
But as long as she came, it was enough!
Silas got in touch with Lux as he wished, and his verification was correct!
He successfully stole Lux's magic, and also stole a huge amount of magic power from the forbidden magic stones that bound him. These forbidden magic stones have been with him for more than ten years, absorbing the magic power from him all the time and storing it. It is absolutely massive!
At the end of the story, Silas used his huge magic to kill all the soldiers and officials present, except Lux...
"I broke the shackles of fate!"
"We are born with rights. I want to overthrow this corrupt country and build a country where mages can live in the light!"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"
