Ice King

Upon hearing Adolf's words, Ruff's body, which had originally relaxed, once again stiffened.    

    

"Reporting to the city lord, this is an extremely important matter. This subordinate is allowed to find a secluded place and discuss it in detail with you."    

    

At this moment, Ruff was trembling with fear as he spoke.    

    

As long as he thought of what happened just now, fear would once again arise within his heart.    

    

"A quiet place? There was no need for that. If there's anything you need, just report it here. "    

    

However, Adolf didn't see Ruff's appearance. Instead, he waved his hand and said loudly.    

    

In his opinion, there was nothing worth putting aside this opportunity to earn a large amount of Devil Crystal to carefully consider.    

    

"You have to know, just now, I lost several tens of millions of Devil Crystal. If I don't earn it back from the next auction, I won't be able to sleep at night!"    

    

Adolf even shouted that in his heart.    

    

It was evident that he had yet to emerge from the shadow of the armor that had been used to purchase his Heavenly Treasure for a tenth of the price.    

    

"As for the importance of this matter? Could there be something bigger than earning Devil Crystal? Could it be that the sky has fallen? "    

    

Adolf was still thinking this in his heart.    

    

Hearing Adolf's order, Ruff also fell into a period of silence.    

    

However, after a short while, he once again raised his head, and said to Adolf word by word: "Reporting to the City Lord, Prison Cell is unguarded, and at this moment, a large number of prisoners are escaping!"    

    

After saying that, Ruff collapsed onto the ground as if he was using all of his strength.    

    

Today, he, Ruff, was also on duty in Prison Cell.    

    

However, just like how most of the guards couldn't figure it out, even the leader of the squad couldn't figure it out. Who exactly was it that could attack the Prison Cell and release all of the prisoners within such a short period of time?    

    

"You have to understand that there is a Fog Formation over there. Ordinary cultivators, as long as they don't have a City Lord Token and are inside, will all be lost in the Fog Sea."    

    

Even to the point of Ruff wailing in his heart.    

    

But now, not to mention the cultivators who had lost themselves in the sea of mist, even the prisoners in the cage had already been released.    

    

It could be seen that he did not have the responsibility to trespass into the Auction, but being unable to keep his position in the cage was enough for City Lord Adolf to kill him several times.    

    

Thus, ever since he had stepped into the Tremir Auction, he had never planned to be able to live.    

    

"Oh, so the Prison Cell had been broken. I was wondering what it was!"    

    

Adolf waved his hand and said as if he didn't care.    

    

"As the lord of a city, you have to be magnanimous. You have to have the grandeur of a huge mountain collapsing right in front of your eyes but not the color of your face!"    

    

Adolf thought of this as he answered.    

    

This answer was something that he had prepared a long time ago.    

    

When Ruff said that he wanted to report to him, he had already made up his mind. No matter what he said, regardless of what he said, he would pretend to be indifferent in order to show the mayor's attitude.    

    

This way, he would be able to convince the person sitting there to submit to him.    

    

However, before he could finish his prepared lines, Adolf suddenly jumped up like a rooster whose tail has been stepped on.    

    

"What? What did you say?" Ruff, tell me again, what was breached? "    

    

As if he couldn't believe his own ears, Adolf also opened his eyes wide, looking at Ruff in disbelief, loudly asking Ruff.    

    

At this moment, there was no trace of his bearing left at all.    

    

His eyes were bloodshot, as if he was a gambler who had lost all his belongings in a casino. He gave off a completely exasperated and exasperated feeling.    

    

"City Lord, I say, the Prison Cell has been broken. A large number of prisoners have escaped!"    

    

Ruff had a bitter smile on his face. Then, he clenched his teeth and repeated what he said.    

    

"Impossible, this is impossible. Putting aside what kind of power would be required to break through Prison Cell, how would I not feel anything at all? Besides, didn't the prison also have a Fog Formation? Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to return once they entered that place. But now, you are telling me that your Prison Cell has been broken through. "Ruff, don't you think that I wouldn't dare to punish you just because you're a sub-captain under the City Lord?"    

    

Adolf frowned and put on a look of disbelief.    

    

He could not be blamed for not believing it. After all, since it was a prison, he had invested a lot of energy into the deployment of the defensive forces back then.    

    

Therefore, Adolf also knew that although the area of the Prison Cell wasn't large, it was extremely sturdy.    

    

The defensive power it possessed was comparable to the defensive strength of the City Governor's Estate.    

    

Adding on to the fact that there was a formation inside, it naturally made it even more difficult to take down the enemies.    

    

One must know that even Adolf himself, without any preparation, would need a very long time to walk out of this formation.    

    

Therefore, this was the reason why Adolf was so confident about deploying most of his guards to ensure the safety of the auction house.    

    

This was because in his opinion, in the Prison Cell, these guards were just decorations and did not need their care.    

    

"City Lord, this is real! This subordinate doesn't have the guts to deceive you on this matter. If you do not believe me, as long as you go to the south side of the city and take a look for yourself, you will be able to determine whether this matter is true or false! "    

    

Ruff bitterly said to Adolf.    

    

Actually, he also knew that this matter was something that no one would be able to accept.    

    

After all, since the creation of Bingcheng, the destruction of Prison Cell could be counted on one hand.    

    

And they, the guards of the prison, had known nothing at all.    

    

Thus, after discovering this matter …    

    

Knowing that this matter was extremely important, he didn't dare to stay for a single moment longer, and immediately rushed to the Primer Auction House.    

    

At this moment, Ruff no longer cared about his own life and death.    

    

What he cared about was that he hoped that the mayor would be able to catch those criminals as soon as possible.    

    

Because that was the only way, the security around Bingcheng could be settled as soon as possible.    

    

As the captain of the squadron, Ruff knew exactly what kind of people were imprisoned in the Prison Cell.    

    

"If I allow those people to do as they please, then I can see that the people around this ice city will be annihilated!"    

    

Even Ruff thought so painfully.    

    

Hearing Ruff's words, the expression on Adolf's face turned even more green.    

    

Previously, he had thought that Ruff's words were just an exaggeration.    

    

Therefore, he had asked them to announce it in the auction hall.    

    

But he didn't expect that in the end, he would spit out such a huge matter from the other party's mouth.    

    

"The Prison Cell has been broken, and this has not even happened a few times since the city was built. While I was on duty, something happened. Doesn't this mean that I'm useless? Furthermore, it was a declaration in front of so many people. Am I not slapping my own face? "    

    

At the same time that he was enraged, Adolf also felt some regret in his heart.    

    

He regretted that he did not agree to Ruff's suggestion just now.    

    

So much so that at this moment, they were able to see him make a joke out of nothing.    

    

With this thought in mind, Adolf also raised his head and looked towards the hall.    

    

Sure enough, after hearing Ruff's report, the cultivators in the hall all revealed expressions of shock.    

    

There were even some cultivators that whispered to each other.    

    

Adolf didn't need to listen carefully to know that these cultivators that were whispering to each other were definitely mocking him.    

    

"However, the destruction of the Prison Cell is a huge matter. Even if Ruff didn't pierce it right now, these cultivators will definitely find out through other channels. It's just that it will take a long time. "    

    

Adolf said softly. Very quickly, he thought it through.    

    

"But who on earth is this? How dare he touch my head? Jailbreak! Hmph, you better pray you don't get caught by me, otherwise, I will definitely tear you into a thousand pieces! "    

    

Adolf gritted his teeth and said viciously.    

    

"Ruff, you have worked hard under me for many years. I understand your character. So, I know that you won't lie to me about this. Since you said so, I believe you too! But you must tell me the details of this matter. Let's go backstage! "    

    

Adolf said to Ruff.    

    

Afterwards, he also learned from experience and didn't discuss this matter in front of the cultivators in the hall.    

    

"Everyone seated, I believe you all heard it just now. Because your Prison Cell has been broken, the Auction this time around is also forced to such a state, that's all you can do. As for the remaining items to be auctioned, wait for the next Auction, and then continue the auction! "    

    

Adolf also clasped his fists as he spoke to the cultivators in the hall. Then, he quickly pulled Ruff and walked towards the backstage, leaving behind a stunned and shocked expression on everyone's faces.    

    

"Tell me everything that has happened in the Prison Cell in detail, don't let it drop in the slightest!"    

    

When they arrived at the backstage and found a quiet place, Adolf immediately asked Ruff.    

    

Evidently, he also knew that this matter was extremely important. If he did not handle it well, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.    

    

Adolf didn't dare to delay for even a second because he knew the consequences of this.    

    

"Mayor!"    

    

However, when he heard Adolf's question, Ruff replied with a bitter face, "Actually, I don't know anything about what happened. If it were not for the fact that there was too much movement from the escape to the prison, we would still be in the dark! "    

    

"What?" How was this possible? You know clearly about the defensive strength of Prison Cell. How can it be possible that even a prison has been breached?    

    

Hearing Ruff's words, Adolf frowned and said in disbelief.
