The True Kilmainham Prison

The Lucavaro River ran outside the new house's courtyard wall, making for a very pleasant view.

Both the Marne District, where Kilmainham Prison was located, and the Lucavaro District were part of the outer fifteen districts, outside Strasbourg's old city walls.

Looking down from the terrace, the first thing that came into view was Charlotte's new house's courtyard. The courtyard was quite large, about six or seven hundred square meters, and surprisingly had a stable and a well.

The maids were working very hard. As dusk fell, they lit kerosene lamps, carried buckets, and held rags, going in and out of the rooms, busy with their tasks.

Charlotte napped for a while on a sofa in one of the rooms. When he woke up, he saw a very clean and tidy room. Several maids had worked all night, cleaning the building thoroughly.

Feeling a bit guilty, Charlotte paid double wages, sent the maids away, and hailed a public carriage to head straight for the Marne District.

He had only taken one day off and still had to go to work at Kilmainham Prison today.

Charlotte's immediate superior, Senior Sister Menilman Sumay, didn't question him about his leave yesterday, she just assigned him triple the workload.

Charlotte was so busy he felt dizzy. He couldn't leave work on time again today, and in fact, he couldn't leave at all, sleeping in the office that night.

When he woke up in the office again, the first thing he saw was the military-uniformed beauty sitting cross-legged on his desk.

Charlotte's first thought was surprisingly, Senior Sister Menilman always seems to be in military uniform, I've never seen her wear anything else.

Charlotte quickly stood up, straightened his jacket, and said, "Warden, is there any work today?"

Menilman seemed to be in a peculiar mood, saying in a low voice, "No documents to handle today, come with me."

Charlotte said nothing and followed his senior sister.

Menilman Sumay led him deep into the prison, descending floor after floor.

Charlotte had been working at this prison for some time but had never left the office area. This was his first time going deep into the prison.

What surprised Charlotte was that this largest prison in the Empire had very few inmates. Many cells were empty with no prisoners.

He didn't care much about the prisoners and didn't think much about what this might mean.

Kilmainham Prison was a fortress-style building. Within the tall, thick walls were only five structures: the First Office Building, the Second Office Building, the Prison Guard Force barracks, the stables, and the main prison building.

Charlotte also just learned that the underground part of this prison was much deeper than the above-ground part. He followed Menilman Sumay down seventeen or eighteen floors before reaching the very bottom of the prison.

The lowest level of the prison was not dark.

A gate filled with sacred aura stood in the center of the basement.

Dozens of Prison Guard Force members stood ready with their weapons.

Upon Menilman Sumay's arrival, the Prison Guard Force members quickly saluted. The Warden waved his hand and stepped into this gate built underground.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then followed him in. No one stopped him.

After passing through the gate, the Bloody Glory within Charlotte suddenly boiled, and a faint red light appeared on his body.

He quickly forced open the Bloody Vortex at his brow, contained the Bloody Glory, and calmed the turmoil within his body, but his heart was a little surprised.

Bloody Glory wouldn't boil for no reason.

The other side of the gate was still an underground secret room heavily guarded.

Of course, it looked more like a mine.

The Prison Guard Force guarding this secret room all had extraordinary auras on them. The dense killing intent made Charlotte very uncomfortable; he even touched the Vampire Hand Axe hidden in his clothes.

Menilman Sumay led him through several heavily guarded doorways, emerging from a black tower.

Stepping onto the ground again, Charlotte cried out in surprise. He could now confirm one thing.

This was no longer the Empire of Fars.

Menilman asked in a low voice, "Do you know what a dimensional plane is?"

Charlotte nodded, indicating that he knew. He had studied related knowledge in university.

Menilman said, "This is the real Kilmainham Prison, a demiplane abandoned by the Gods, which once had a brilliant civilization."

"Every year, the Empire transports a large number of prisoners here, erases their memories, fakes their identities, and makes them residents here to explore ruins and excavate wealth for the Empire."

Charlotte's voice was a little hoarse. He thought of many unpleasant things and asked fearfully, "Senior Sister, why did you bring me here? Is there something you need me to do?"

Menilman said, "Come with me."

About a few minutes later, Charlotte saw a very unexpected person.

Zimmerman Axel Robin!

Charlotte had seen many of Zimmerman Axel Robin's files, but he was not at all familiar with this legendary gentleman of the Empire.

Zimmerman was being restrained on a stone bed, surrounded by countless people in black coats and hoods who were busy working.

Menilman's tone was涩然, and she said in a low voice, "In a little while, there will be no more Zimmerman Axel Robin in this world. There will only be a Captain Huntington who has lost all his memories and is loyal to the Empire."

Charlotte had nothing to say. Menilman Sumay was here to see off her former fiancé for the last time. He was clearly superfluous here, but he couldn't just avoid it either.

Zimmerman seemed to have been injected with an anesthetic that suppressed the extraordinary or subjected to a special restraining spell. He was very quiet until the Alchemy Array emitted a strange light, and then he only struggled slightly.

Of course, it looked more like a twitch.

A thick, ancient, simple large book's phantom slowly emerged. Countless wisps of gray mist, as if weightless, rose from Zimmerman and merged into this strange book.

Under the pull of a mysterious force, Menilman Sumay's body erupted with bright Battle Qi radiance.

The Bloody Glory within Charlotte also boiled again, and subtly, a faint, hidden connection formed between it and the phantom of the ancient, heavy book.

Charlotte couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "The Emerald Book!"

He had never seen it, but he had heard of this book.

It was a divine artifact bestowed by the Serpent of Destiny, one of the Nine Great Righteous Gods.

There was even a specific course in university that discussed the origin and function of the Emerald Book, as well as the magic alchemy derived from the knowledge within it.

The Emerald Book granted to humans by the Serpent of Destiny, the Solar Gold Book given to believers by the Lord of Radiance, and the Dead Sea Scrolls left behind by the Old Man with the Lamp were hailed as the three cornerstones of human civilization.

Of course, as a transmigrator, Charlotte didn't really believe this claim. He had studied the human civilization of this era, and it didn't have much to do with these three divine artifacts, but that didn't erase the shock in his heart.
