In the name of the true god

Chapter 113 Observation Handbook

President Frost was moved.

Jude's words made perfect sense. They had no choice, nor the right to question. Even if the road ahead was fraught with danger or filled with thorns, they had no choice but to face the challenge head-on in order to save the forty-two involved wizards and resonance sorcerers.

Even if the tunnels are unusable, it won't stop them from continuing their original rescue plan.

The tunnel is usable. Let's rescue the people first, and then we'll have plenty of time to investigate its origins.

In conclusion, the existence of authentic local products may not be a good thing, but it is certainly not a bad thing.

"We dare to force our way through even the most dangerous situations. With a tunnel right in front of us, what reason do we have to ignore it?"

After careful consideration, Chairman Frost made a decisive decision: "Allen, once the rescue begins, you take your men and evacuate through the tunnel. If that doesn't work, then quickly pretend nothing happened and leave the prison yourself."

"Understood!" Allen had no objections.

"When do we begin?" Jude couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of rescuing forty-two of their own kind and committing "the biggest heretical mass prison break in nearly a decade."

President Frost pondered for a moment and said, "You just played cards with Allen in the heresy ward last night. If there's an escape the next day, and Allen is officially declared a heretic, then you'll be 100% targeted by the church."

"Yes." If he had a choice, Jude certainly wouldn't want to get too close to Allen at this critical juncture, but unfortunately, only the two of them had infiltrated the prison, and only he had the access law to verify the tunnel.

As the final moments approached, President Frost remained remarkably calm: "Wait three more days. We'll make our move between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. During these three days, you absolutely cannot have any further contact with Allen in front of others. Allen, you're the opposite; you should try to make more contact with people and engage in some unusual behavior to mislead the church's subsequent investigation. Also, before the operation, all your personal belongings must be packed away and not left in prison, lest the church involve wizards to use the law of contact to trace your whereabouts."

"Understood!" Allen replied repeatedly.

"Jude, I have one more favor to ask of you and your brother." Chairman Frost looked at Jude. "I need a floor plan of the Royal Capital's heavy prison."

"What do you want?"

"I need to analyze the map to find the tunnel's exit. If the exit is damaged or blocked, we can figure out a solution in advance. If the exit is intact, we can wait at the exit from the beginning to meet them, which will save time compared to Allen taking his men out and then informing us before we go over."

Jude nodded slightly.

Regardless of who dug the tunnel, since the purpose was to rescue the imprisoned witches and resonance sorcerers, they would definitely have planned a safe and reliable exit while digging.

but!

The commotion from digging the tunnel is so great.

It could only have been secretly built simultaneously under the guise of the renovation and reconstruction of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison in the 431st year of the Divine Calendar.

Seventeen years have passed.

The suburbs have undergone tremendous changes with the widespread adoption of trams.

What if the tunnel exit was originally in a remote and safe location, but some kind of building was suddenly built there over the past seventeen years?

What if, by some coincidence, there's a police station right next door?

What if the exit happens to be within the priest's patrol area?

We should try our best to find out where the exit is so that Chairman Frost can further confirm the reliability of the plan and send people there in advance to meet him.

According to this view...

The operation will take place in three days, so time is still very tight.

"That's all for now." President Frost finished outlining the tasks decisively. "For the next three days, Allen can spend more time in the city center and affluent areas after get off work. This is also to muddy the waters and interfere with the church's investigation later. As for Jude, I will come to see him every morning without fail. If there's anything I need to tell you, I'll have Jude pass on the message."

"Understood," Allen replied.

"Let's go." There were several wizards involved in the Divine Descent Society, and the president, Frost, had to ask them to go through the contact law again to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After Chairman Frost left, Allen looked at Jude with deep emotion: "Jude, I probably won't have many chances to be alone with you anymore, so I'll take this opportunity to say a few words from my heart—anyway, I'm very grateful for your help. When we leave, please be careful on your own."

"I will," Jude accepted Allen's offer. "The same goes for you. Dozens of people are too conspicuous, so you must act as discreetly as possible."

"Yes." Allen nodded emphatically. "Also, please give my thanks to your brother."

"it is good."

"I'm going back now."

Take care.

After seeing Chairman Frost and Allen out, Jude returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Aside from the potential dangers, guarding the heretical prison area was generally quite easy. He usually caught up on sleep in the temporary break room for the guards during the latter half of the night, so he wasn't very sleepy when he got home.

"Meow~" The little Siamese cat tiptoed up to Jude and curled up at his feet.

The little golden retriever lay on the balcony, humming as it basked in the sunlight.

Um--

The prison break plan has been roughly finalized.

There's no need to memorize the contents of the booklet anymore, to provide Edmund with information about the past.

It's time to continue practicing the laws of contact and similarity!

As of now, Jude has mastered the laws of contact and similarity for a month and a half and a month, respectively. Due to being too busy lately, he has not been able to focus his main energy on improving his skills.

The Divine Descent Society is about to leave the capital with their fellow prisoners and begin a long escape.

Since only he remains in the capital, he should quickly upgrade the dual laws to the second or third tier to ensure he has sufficient power to protect himself.

In addition-

Time flies, and it's Sunday again. It's almost my eighth meeting with Edmund.

The intelligence he has gathered from his brother Connor and Vincent Monroe should be enough to help Edmund avoid a crisis.

If the outcome remains unchanged.

Then we can only try to approach it from an idealistic perspective, first affirming that the execution occurred, and then refuting the conclusion that the person executed was Edmund.

"call----"

After taking a deep breath, Jude cleared his mind of distractions and began to practice the Law of Contact.

Now he can use the contact rhythm three to four times a day, and even five to six times under overload conditions.

Most importantly, after the first use, there are basically no strong negative effects, and one can remain calm without changing expression. Even after using it twice in a row, one can barely maintain mental strength, and not stagger as if drunk as at the beginning.

With solid mental strength as a guarantee, even if forced to secretly use the Law of Contact in front of the priest, the risk can be minimized.

He intently inquired about the tunnels leading to the Heretic Prison section of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison.

Where do the tunnels in the Heretic Section of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison lead?

Where do the tunnels in the Heretic Section of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison lead?

No results found.

Then let's lower the requirements: Is the tunnel exit of the Heretic Prison in the Royal Capital Heavy Prison unobstructed?

Is the tunnel exit of the heretical prison section of Wangdu Heavy Prison unobstructed?

Is the tunnel exit of the heretical prison section of Wangdu Heavy Prison unobstructed?

The answer is: unobstructed.

Jude breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's unobstructed, that's fine.

After all, the new troubles encountered after leaving the tunnel could not compare to breaking through the encirclement of several priests and hundreds of armed prison guards.

After the two consecutive interrogations, he first took a bath. Once his mental state had recovered somewhat, he returned to the living room to prepare for practicing the law of similarity.

Now, his observation and imitation of the golden retriever puppy are almost perfect. From the start of imitation to successful resonance, it only takes him three to five minutes.

Following the guidance of Chairman Frost and Allen, the next step is to achieve resonance and possess the dog's superior sense of smell with just a thought. This is no longer a matter of understanding, but requires time to accumulate and gradually achieve success.

It's time to master a cat's agility and night vision!

Jude kept a close eye on the Siamese kitten's every move, picked up the "Observation Handbook" given to him by Chairman Frost, and turned to the page about the cat.

The first entry in particular benefited him greatly.

Cats cannot see in complete darkness; they simply require far less light than humans to move clearly. In addition to their vision, cats use their whiskers to sense airflow, combining this with their hearing for navigation.

It can also sense airflow and utilize hearing —

Jude suddenly realized.

Compared to Frost's "Observation Manual," his notes in the notebook were rather superficial.

Further down the page, Frost also emphasizes the cat's reflexes and jumping ability—qualities that can be mastered through resonance.

Um--

We definitely can't focus on just one aspect.

Since we have reached a consensus, we should make full use of the value of imitating the target.

What about the dog?

Jude turned to the page with the dog:

Dogs have mediocre stamina, but their explosive power far surpasses that of humans.

Dogs have extremely strong stomach acid; if they are in dire straits and given the opportunity to endure prolonged exposure, they may even consume or digest carrion if necessary.

Resonance over a long period of time.

Jude noticed a key point.

If an animal has a strong self-healing ability after being injured, it should be more reliable than going to the hospital.

For example, planarians.

He had seen related science videos in his previous life. It is said that even if a planarian's body is cut into dozens or hundreds of pieces, it can regenerate a complete head, brain, internal organs, and body.

Salamanders and starfish also possess remarkable limb regeneration abilities.

In theory, as long as a Resonance Warlock is powerful enough, if they don't die on the spot when encountering danger, they can be resurrected with full health in no time.

That's awesome!

wrong.

Jude recalled Keanu Archer, the fourth-tier entanglement wizard who had attempted to escape from prison a little over a week ago. Archer could even directly transfer damage; killing him would require being prepared for massive sacrifices.

Therefore, one focuses on offense and the other on defense; both are precious talents.

Next, he spent three or four hours intently reading through the "Observation Handbook".

Unfortunately, it didn't mention planarians, salamanders, or starfish. Furthermore, he had to accept that while the "Observation Handbook" was extremely valuable, it couldn't completely replace observation as a permanent solution; combining the two could only primarily improve efficiency.

Oh, and one more thing—

Before falling asleep, Jude remembered something else.

Once the rescue operation is over, Guild Master Frost will be leaving with his men. It certainly won't be easy to encounter a high-level Resonance Mage again. He needs to find an opportunity to consult with someone about the second level of the Similarity Law, namely simulation, beforehand, so that he doesn't waste time groping around aimlessly when he reaches a bottleneck.

November 11, 448 of the Divine Calendar, at 7:20 PM.

Jude arrived at the temporary rest room for prison guards in the Heretic Ward of the Royal Capital Heavy Prison, carrying the Möbius Ring.

Allen arrived earlier than him and was carrying out Chairman Frost's instructions, chatting and laughing with "pretty boy" Colin as they planned...

Let's go to the ballroom dance.

To maintain his distance, Jude didn't talk to them and deliberately sat next to Captain Foster, subtly reinforcing the impression that he was closer to the captain.

7:40.

The priest called right on time, and Alan went alone to the heresy prison to play cards.

Midnight.

"Do we need to empty the sludge bucket?" Jude followed the group into the heresy ward, squatted down in front of Vincent Monroe's cell, and quickly asked, "After Edmund disbanded the group, where did the other involved wizards and resonance sorcerers go? Also, before Edmund died, he declared that the four gods worshipped by the Holy Church were false gods. Do you know why he said that?"

Jude believed it.

A team of thousands cannot simply be disbanded by Edmund's word and they will go their separate ways.

There will always be those who rally the remnants to continue the struggle against the Holy Church.

"If we can find some of the key members who are still alive based on the clues, we should be able to uncover more secrets from that time."

early morning.

Temporary rest room for prison guards.

While Allen was playing cards with the priests again, "pretty boy" Colin whispered something bad about him: "I really don't understand Allen. I could understand him trying to please the priests before, but now that the heretics could be transferred at any time, and the priests would definitely be transferred with them, why is he still so eager to lose money?"

"No, no, I don't know." The poet Anders shook his head.

Jude casually flipped through the newspaper his older brother Killian had brought, without saying a word.

"And tell me, where does he get so much money? He's busy currying favor with the priests and going to ballroom dances—what a spendthrift!"

"Alright." Captain Foster glanced at him coldly. "It's his right to do what he wants. As long as it doesn't bother you, don't meddle."

Colin, the "vain guy," pursed his lips and said nothing more.

The lounge fell silent, save for the sound of poet Anders reciting his poems.

As the time drew near, Jude used the newspaper to block others' view and put the Möbius strip ring on the index finger of his left hand.

2:26 AM.

2:27 a.m.

2:28 a.m.

To Captain Foster, his older brother Killian, and the poet Anders, who were still awake, Jude was still holding up the newspaper, reading the reports.

In reality, his consciousness had already entered the mysterious space.
