Dis, the second level of the Hell of Baator, the iconic location here is the city of steel of the same name.

The vast 'Dis City' is located in the middle of a huge ring-shaped sawtooth valley, occupying most of the entire second floor. Its walls are huge, the interior space is almost infinite, and the hot streets are like labyrinths. Plane travelers who come here are likely to walk forever on the road, but they can't get anywhere.

The buildings that appear and disappear on both sides of the street are full of dangers and bad omens. Be very careful when trading here, because if you are not careful, your soul may no longer belong to you.

The layout of the city will also change frequently. A large number of low-level devils work hard in the city. They continue to demolish old buildings and then build new houses at an alarming rate, so the role of the map here is very small.

The entire plane and city is subject to the evil will of Dispat, the Lord of Dis, and the changes in the city are the reflection and manifestation of his mind. Known in the multiverse for his calculating dexterity, this ancient demon archduke has an extremely calm demeanor, never showing the slightest worry or unease.

However, the newly built streets in the city have become increasingly narrow and crowded, reflecting the increasingly delusional and paranoid heart of the devil archduke.

There is a prison called 'Mantili' in Dis City, which holds a large number and variety of prisoners. There are mortals captured in the Hell of Baator, paladins who have been imprisoned here since ancient times, invaders from the chaotic camp, and a large number of souls that have not been transformed and fallen.

In a very unremarkable cell in this prison, our barbarian adventurer slowly woke up from the coma on the second floor.

He sat up slowly, covering his head, and opened his eyes dazedly. What I saw was a row of metal fences covered with spikes, many of which were dirty black and red on the surface, and there were still some rotting flesh of unknown creatures hanging on them.

"Am I locked up?" Barrett muttered to himself in the cage.

"You're right." On the other side of the left wall, a slightly hoarse voice replied, "It seems that you are a rational guy, this is really great, maybe we can become friends, haha, friend! Cough cough..." The voice coughed up with laughter, and after a while, he gasped, "Can you hear me? We should really talk more when we're fine."

"Where is this place?" Barrett asked, rubbing his head.

"'Mantili', the prison in the city of Dis, a notorious place." The voice replied, "No matter where you came from before, what status you are, you are now a prisoner of the devil."

devil! It really is the devil's place! This evil term instantly made Barrett wake up, and he subconsciously touched his waist, but he didn't touch anything.

"Where's my sword?" Barrett shouted in surprise, and he touched his body again, "Where's my equipment?" Then he looked at his hands again, "Where's my space ring?"

At this point, only the dirty, dusty and sweat-stained set of ordinary clothes was left on his body, and the other precious weapons and rings were all gone!

"Hey, don't be silly, my friend." The voice said again, "Isn't this a normal thing? Have you ever seen a prisoner who was detained and kept his own weapons and equipment? Anyway, I haven't seen one. ."

"Damn, I have to get everything back." Barrett muttered to himself bitterly. That's all my savings, all! No one wants to take them away, no one can!

At this time, he remembered that his 'resonant battle axe' seemed to be forgotten in the earl's mansion in San Nino City, and he didn't know which guy would pick it up. He was very fond of this tomahawk that could be retrieved after being thrown out. I like it, it's a pity to lose it.

"Want to get something back? Hehe, then you have to figure out a way to get out of here first." The voice said, "I mean, get out alive, instead of lying down and being carried away."

Yes, get out! Barrett stood up and recalled it carefully in his mind.

His former fellow thief, François, had told him how to escape if he was accidentally caught by a noble during an investigation and locked in a dungeon. Moreover, Francois also gave Barbarians a thief's manual called "Seeing the Sun Again", which records a lot of tricks related to escape.

But Barrett had only glanced at it and put it away. Because the content on it is really boring, far less beautiful than some books, and the barbarian doesn't think he has the possibility of being caught, he is quite confident in his martial arts.

In the current environment, he misses that manual very much.

But Barrett still remembered what François said. If caught, you should first collect everything that might be used in the holding space, such as stones, hard twigs, cloth strips, spoons, or whatever.

Barrett turned and looked around. On the three gray-black rock walls, there are many incomprehensible paintings. The pictures and words are dark red, as if they were drawn with blood; except for a piece of grass that is so dirty that it cannot be seen. Outside the cushion, there was nothing; in the corner there was a humanoid skeleton half leaning against the wall, the skeleton tilted its head, its eye sockets rushed towards Barrett, but there was no untimely crawling up, obviously this skeleton did not become an undead.

What can be used for? bone? Dig out from here? Barrett walked over to the humanoid bone and touched the row of pointed ribs on its chest.

Ribs are not good, although the shape is OK, but the hardness is generally too high. What about teeth? It doesn't seem to be reliable either.

"What are you doing? Reply, my friend!" The hoarse voice sounded again, "Why don't you want to get out of here?"

Barrett didn't answer, but continued to frown in thought.

"I advise you to stop trying," the voice said. "This is 'Mantili', which has existed for millions of years or more, but only five people have managed to escape from this prison. out."

"I will be the sixth." He said lightly.

"I haven't finished my words yet." The voice continued, "Although these five people did escape from 'Mantiri', they failed to escape from the city of Dis, because of what happened in this city. Everything can't escape the eyes of Archduke Dispater, unless you are stronger than him. But this is obviously impossible, if you are stronger than Archduke Devil, you won't be imprisoned here."

Dispat? Barrett remembered the name~lightnovelpub.net~ Are you also a prisoner here? ' he asked to the voice on the other side of the wall.

"Yes, we're all prisoners, but that doesn't mean we're all criminals, does it," said the voice, laughing. "My name is 'Elvis,' and I'm glad I can still remember my own. Name. What's your name?"

"Barrett."

"Are you a human, or some other race?" the voice asked again, "I was still asleep when you came, so I didn't see how you got locked in."

"Humanity."

"Ordinary people?"

"Why ask that?" Barrett frowned.

"It depends on how long we can be friends." The voice replied, "It is very difficult for ordinary people without protective measures to survive in Baator hell, they are either slowly transformed by **** into semi-purgatory creatures, or directly degenerate their souls. , taken away by the devils."
