It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 661 The Dog Girl's Heartbreaking Imperial Treatment in Prison
The next day, the Adventurers' Guild.

When the man behind the counter, who was responsible for receiving guests, saw the young man in black clothes and black hair tied up before coming in, his eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"What are you..."

"I'm here to turn myself in."

"...Astaroth?"

“Yes,” Rowe said, standing still and looking calmly at the other person, “I did it all.”

The receptionist looked at him with a strange expression. At this moment, other adventurers who had heard the commotion came down from the second floor and were taken aback when they saw his appearance.

Dressed in black, with black hair and a scarf around his neck, he is…

Demon God Astaroth!!

As a "big shot" who has made headlines every day for the past two days, the incident he caused has caused a sensation in all five Dark Families. The Templar Knights have captured black-haired human males with similar characteristics before, but this one, in terms of both aura and details, is undoubtedly the real deal.

Adventurers of all levels immediately surrounded Rowe.

"May I ask... why you did this?" the receptionist asked from behind the counter.

“The reason is simple,” Rowe said, looking at them. “The seriousness of the situation between the two sides has exceeded my expectations. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll be in big trouble.”

The adventurers dared not let their guard down and pointed their weapons at him.

He became a wanted man in the southwest corner of the entire continent, but at the height of his fame, he chose to surrender. No one could easily believe it, and why did it have to be the Adventurers' Guild?
How can you prove what you're saying?

“I have the Templar Order’s secret casket on me, as well as the Dark Familiar’s royal key that I obtained from Queen Marusir,” Rowe gestured to his cloak, “You can take them to examine.”

After exchanging a glance, an S-rank adventurer stepped forward to search him.

Luo Wei took a step back.

“But there are conditions,” he said. “You cannot hand me over to either of these two parties, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to the adventurer. If you can accept this, I will agree to plead guilty.”

"Wha...what?"

Isn't that obvious?

He'd stirred up such a huge hornet's nest with two powerful families, so naturally both the Dark Families and the Knights Templar wanted him dead. How could he possibly surrender to them?

The Adventurers' Guild is a neutral organization. Although it has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, given the guild's influence across the continent, the people they detain will not be forcibly taken away easily.

"Mingzhe...is he trying to protect himself?" one adventurer said. "You want to use us?!"

"Hmph...so what?" Luo Wei didn't hide his purpose. "In a crisis, even a demon god could seek your protection, right?"

The adventurers finally understood what he meant.

"Are you hoping to confess your crimes here to escape being hunted down by other forces?"

“You can disagree,” Rowe stared directly at the other party, “then I’ll have no choice but to fight to the death.”

"...!"

In fact, they have no right to refuse.

With irrefutable evidence in hand and the criminal confessing to his crimes right in front of them, refusing to accept the confession is tantamount to letting a criminal who has already delivered himself to their doorstep go. Moreover, Luo Wei has said that if they don't accept the confession, he is prepared to fight to the death, and whatever happens in the end will be entirely the responsibility of the Adventurers' Guild.

Therefore, it is an open conspiracy.

Luo Wei wasn't worried about them breaking their promise and handing him over to the Knights Templar; if he escaped, that would be the consequence of them not fulfilling their agreement.

Of course, he was also curious whether he would be handed over to one of them, and there was a lot to say about that.

"We don't have a place to detain prisoners here," the receptionist said.

"Then you can hand me over to a trustworthy church or something. Don't think I don't know you have a lot of connections in this area."

Judging from his confident demeanor, everyone present could tell that he had come prepared, and that he was clearly aware of their inside story and principles before doing this.

But it must be said, this is indeed the style of the Adventurers' Guild.

“I still don’t understand why you did this,” the S-rank adventurer asked him. “Even if you can hide here for a while, we will still have to hand you over one day.”

"That's enough."

Luo Wei looked directly at the man and said bluntly, "As long as the Temple of War and the other arriving forces know that what happens next has nothing to do with me, that's fine."

S-rank adventurer: "!"

So that's what you were planning!

Everyone immediately understood his intention. He had probably discovered some incredible clues from those two parties, and to avoid being implicated, he came to the Adventurers' Guild to turn himself in. Considering what happened by the moat last night and the subtle uneasy movements coming from several countries... this was indeed very likely to happen.

"you……"

Even if they have to eliminate this potential threat in the midst of an upcoming major event, they will have no choice but to do so.

Luo Wei looked at them with a smile and said, "Isn't this better for both of us?"

He wanted to save his life, and the Adventurers' Guild certainly didn't want the situation to become even more chaotic. Even if it was just a temporary restriction on his freedom, it would be a proposal that would benefit both sides.

The adventurers discussed it among themselves for a while and finally decided to accept his confession.

Rowe allowed them to search him and find the Templar Order's secret box and the Queen's key. The S-rank adventurer frowned at him, then reached out and pulled off the scarf covering his face.

"—!!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Below the eyes, the part that was covered was covered with writhing, blood-soaked flesh and tentacles.

……

Half a day later, in the underground prison of the Faquan Church.

"It seems that Nepsy's makeup skills are quite good."

Luo Wei sat in the cold prison cell, his hands shackled to seal his magic, leisurely leaning against the empty stone wall.

Hmm... it wasn't for nothing that she spent two hours putting makeup on her face; she actually quite liked the feeling. Meanwhile, the dog girl's gaze towards him gradually shifted from curiosity to horror.

It doesn't matter what a demon looks like; the real Astaroth might even look more terrifying than this.

He sat quietly by the wall, closed his eyes, and pondered for a while. Now it was time to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Meanwhile, in Marusir, the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

Knight Commander Byven looked at the secret box on the table and carefully checked it. Nothing inside was missing, and nothing had been tampered with.

"Pure Light Knight" Lugiran stood by the table watching this scene.

"Did that demon really turn himself in?"

"It seems so." After confirming for the third time, Baiwen felt a little relieved that the contents had not even been copied by imprinting magic.

The two stood in front of a desk piled high with documents, and Lukiran looked out the window, thinking back to that day.

"Your Excellency Knight Commander..." he hesitated for a moment before saying, "You should know that the demon god that day was not Astaroth, right?"

“Of course,” Byven chuckled deeply, “Astaroth was personally wounded by you, how could I not recognize him? Why bother exposing such a clumsy lie?”

"That……"

Lukiran was somewhat puzzled by this.

Since you already knew, why did you agree with what the other party said, admit it, and then spread it the next day?
“I want to know what his motives are,” Byven replied, seeing his thoughts. “Whether it’s the other seventy-two pillars of Solomon or some other purpose, it doesn’t matter now.”

“What do you mean?” Lukiran asked.

Bai Wen paused for a moment and then turned to him.

"Don't worry about that. We should focus on our own things. This is no longer important and we don't need to concern ourselves with it."

"…Yes."

Lukiran answered heavily, watching the Knight Commander prepare to announce the next arrangements, but then paused for a moment to think it over.

Seek advantage and avoid harm.

What exactly is that demon god hiding from?
……

That night, in the underground prison.

Ah Hu Lili appeared as she stepped through the dark curtain, pursed her lips as she looked at Luo Wei, whose hands were shackled, and then told him what had happened that day.

"Is that so... The war has already begun. It seems that when we stormed the palace that day, most of the main force in the city was indeed not there."

"That's right, I'm working with that witch, so... you shouldn't be too hard on yourself."

“I know,” Luo Wei chuckled, his flesh writhing. “Now you care about me? If it weren’t for this, I’d want to kiss you.”

"Ouch... I don't want a kiss..."

He told her and Neps to continue as planned, and then watched as the dog girl stepped across the curtain and disappeared.

the next day.

Day three.

Ah Hu Lili would come to report to him about the situation outside every day.

Three days later, Luo Wei was blindfolded and taken to another place, passing through a teleportation point along the way.

When the cloth strips were removed, he was led to a dungeon with an even more ancient atmosphere and a deeper ambiance. The floor and railings were specially made, and his hands were bound behind his back by sealed rings.

However, after doing all this, the person who brought him left, and no one came to see him.

That evening, Ah Hu and Lily arrived as scheduled. When they saw him sitting there with his arms tied behind his back, they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

But she told him about what was happening outside first.

"Is it that intense?"

Judging from Ah Hu Lili's words, the Dark Families have mobilized a very powerful force to reclaim the city and declare it a war of national annihilation. Meanwhile, the Knights Templar have brought in a large number of reinforcements from their overseas headquarters to eliminate this evil that has now come to light. The two sides are engaged in fierce fighting within the territories of the five Families, and it is still unclear which side will emerge victorious.

“Neptune asked me to tell you…” Ah Hu Lili said, tugging at her ears, “She wants to ask you if you’re in prison because you don’t want to choose either side.”

"What do you think?" Luo Wei asked her in return.

"I think...?"

Ah Hu Lili lowered her head.

Because she witnessed all of this firsthand, both the Dark Families and the Knights Templar had their own unspeakable secrets, but in this situation, she indeed... she still...

"me……"

"You probably think the same way I do," Luo Wei said coldly, then smiled. "That's only natural, isn't it the simplest of truths?"

"..."

She looked up at Luo Wei and got the answer from his gaze.

“However, I have not yet achieved my goal,” he said with his eyes closed, “so I may have to stay here for a few more days. The situation outside is up to you and them to handle.”

"..."

Ah Hu Lili fell silent for a brief moment.

She could already sense that the cell not only bound him with a seal, preventing him from leaving, but the surrounding ritual barrier was also constantly draining his magic power, continuously weakening him.

"Your current location... is deep underground in the city of Kaias, above which is the city square."

"Is that so? Then it's not surprising."

As Luo Wei was saying this, the dog girl suddenly leaned forward.

Luo Wei: "..."

When he was released and stood erect in front of her, Ah Hu Lili only looked up at him, then tucked her hair behind her ear and lowered her head to serve him carefully and skillfully.

He had already separated the space with his divine power.

Luo Wei never expected to receive such treatment in prison.

Hmm...it's been three days since then. Is she trying to replenish the magic power that was taken from him by the ritual, or...well, let's not ask now.
