Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1147 - 1086: Ancient Goblin Explorer

The situation stalled again. Almost all the methods they could think of had been used, but they still couldn’t break through this array barrier.

Huang Yi stood alone in this cage, vainly holding the Wrath of the Godslayer, a long-standing feeling of oppression rising from deep within his heart.

A few years ago, when he had just been imprisoned in the Rose Prison, he had experienced this oppressive feeling. It was a true darkness, a complete loss of freedom, where no effort could break through the cage again!

However, later, after obtaining the ring to enter The Second World, that oppressive feeling vanished without a trace because, in The Second World, he found freedom again.

But now, within this formation, he had used all his strength and still couldn’t break through it. The long-lost feeling of oppression suddenly returned.

Could it be that even the freedom of The Second World would be taken away?

Huang Yi shook his head to dispel that oppressive feeling, focused on the present, and started thinking about how to break the formation.

To break this formation, the only solution was to find someone who understands this type of formation, learn the secrets, and then break it accordingly.

Currently, in this world, there was no one who understood this kind of formation, not even the array instructors at the Oskan Royal Academy.

And those who knew about this formation had already been lost in the river of history.

History!

Huang Yi’s eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of his Heroes’ Prison! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Heroes’ Prison holds many historical figures; perhaps among them, there’s a criminal who knows about this formation!

With this in mind, far away on Hero’s Continent, Huang Yi’s incarnation immediately took out the Book of Heroes from his storage ring and began to look through it.

The Book of Heroes records the information of all criminals in cells numbered above 100. Huang Yi was looking for those famous array masters from history.

In the Book of Heroes, including the corpses in the morgue, there are records of tens of thousands of heroes, coming from various worlds of the universe and various historical periods. But currently, there are only over five thousand criminals still alive, which narrows things down considerably.

Huang Yi skimmed through quickly, his eyes scanning over one name after another. After more than ten minutes, his gaze suddenly stopped, locking onto a name—

Ancient Goblins Wanderer Boge (Level 252, Number 244)

From this person’s title prefix, nothing suggests a connection to formations, but it does include the words "Ancient Goblins"!

And something like a battle flag was exactly invented by the Ancient Goblin race.

The Ancient Goblin race is historically famous for their genius-level creativity, having made many great inventions and being a race that revered science and technology. Huang Yi had previously encountered this race’s tech heritage many times.

In the field of manufacturing, the Hero Guild’s Oceanic Airship was invented by the Ancient Goblin race.

In the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing, Miyamoto Musashi’s laboratory, also an Ancient Goblin creation, produced a plethora of S-grade potions.

In blacksmithing, Huang Yi’s Epic Equipment—the Thunder Guard Bracers—was refined by an Ancient Goblin blacksmithing master, using the two severed arms of the Thunder Empress.

In the field of formations, the Ancient Goblins invented the battle flag and created various new top-level formations.

...

The Ancient Goblins achieved great accomplishments in nearly every technical field. However, the race itself wasn’t very powerful in combat, relying on science and technology for a time, but eventually declined and went extinct, leaving only some of their inventions behind.

With a mindset to give it a try, Huang Yi turned to the page corresponding to this criminal and began looking at Boge’s specific information—

Boge, an explorer of the Ancient Goblin race, also a strong individual with Three-Step Ascension power, enjoyed wandering and exploring in worlds across the universe, knowledgeable and well-informed, was captured into the Heroes’ Prison for intruding into the garden behind the Death God’s Temple without permission...

Huang Yi decided to approach this criminal. Although the other party was merely a wanderer and adventurer, not a professional array master, adventurers often had insights across various fields, and perhaps he knew about battle flags.

Moreover, Boge was once a strong individual with Three-Step Ascension, having seen all kinds of scenes and rich experiences.

However, this criminal’s level is now only 252, indicating a decline in his strength from his previous Three-Step Ascension peak.

In the Heroes’ Prison, many criminals have experienced strength declines, no longer matching their peak times.

For example, Emperor Somerett was once a top-level demigod but has fallen to the level of an ordinary demigod now.

The first criminal Huang Yi killed, the Hydra Death Scales, was once the mount of the Magic God, but its level was only 250, also due to strength decline.

The Harbinger of Doomsday, Huang Yi killed, used to be a Deity, but later his divinity was shattered, reduced to a False God, and only remaining with Heavenly Realm strength.

Huang Yi’s incarnation immediately summoned the Heroes’ Prison to the stone chamber.

This criminal named Boge was of a lower level than Huang Yi, and his corresponding key had already fallen to the ground, needing no fetching.

Huang Yi lowered his head, patiently searching for the key numbered 244 among the dense cluster of keys on the ground.

After searching for about ten minutes, he finally found the key and reached the door of cell number 244.

This is a standard cell with a slit in the door to observe the criminal inside. Huang Yi looked through the slit.

In the large cell was a small figure. It was hunched and frail, less than a meter tall, yet it had a large head. Its skin was a deep green, its ears pointed, and its eyes mischievous and odd, a typical goblin appearance.

It was currently squatting and using its finger to write something on the ground, its expression displaying intense focus.

"Hello, Boge!" Huang Yi knocked on the cell door, greeting from afar.

Only then did Boge notice Huang Yi’s presence, raising his head, frowning, and said with a hint of displeasure, "Please call me Free Boge, thank you!"

His voice was sharp, combined with his small stature, resembling a naughty child.

"It’s a pity that Free Boge has lost his freedom, and can only be confined to this small cell!" Huang Yi said, glancing at the ground of the cell.

The floor was covered with dense writing and illustrations in some places, evidently devised by Boge.

The cells in the Heroes’ Prison are vast, much larger than a football field, and the entire floor of such a large cell being covered with words was like laying a strange carpet.

Boge frowned and said, "But Boge’s heart is free! Free Boge can write travelogues on the cell floor every day. Boge has traveled across worlds, encountered countless stories, experienced numerous cultures, and studied various peculiar technologies. Even the expansive cell floors of the Heroes’ Prison can’t accommodate all those experiences!"

"Well then, Free Boge, have you studied formations?" Huang Yi asked.

Boge raised his large head, puffed out his small chest, and said, "Of course, I have! When Boge explored dungeons and relics, he was often trapped by various strange formations, but Boge is inherently free, and no formation could trap Free Boge!"

Huang Yi smiled, waving the key in his hand, and said, "Now, you have a chance at freedom. If you agree to become a Guardian for my Hero Empire and help me research formations, I’ll release you from the Heroes’ Prison, allowing you to truly be Free Boge!"

Boge’s eyes lit up, and he immediately snapped his fingers, decisively saying two words: "Deal!"
