Operation Comnces Part 2
After the ninja girl left, I took a look behind the desk she originally ca from. There was a small stone trapdoor opened under the desk.
There was a strong looking lock rolling around next to the door, having failed its purpose.
Peeking inside the door I found a small storage area, that contained a box full of tal ring and docunts.
Apparently it was so kind of safe.
The heavy sack she was carrying might have been filled with the money. But judging from her deanor and appearance, she only did this to cover up her true intentions here as a robbery. Its not like I can condemn her anyway because I take money from bandits.
I didnt know what she was looking for, but it didnt seem like it would hinder our operation. Based on the parting words she left anyway. There seem to be two more elves trapped in the feudal lords castle. That would an that the elf hunting had been authorized by the feudal lord himself.
If its true, then Ill have to tell Ariane about it.
Once this rescue was done we might have have to infiltrate the lords castle.
While contemplating that, I pick up one of the parchnts from the safe. Removing the bindings from the docunts, the contacts turned out to be a sells reports.
The amount on the contract was insane, it exceeded well over 10,000 suk.
The 10,000 gold price tag was the cost of the elves being sold here.
There were six more contacts just like this one, seven in total.
The contracts included the nas of those that had already been auctioned off. They also had the nas of the buyers as well, so it might be possible to track down the elves that had been sold.
Still, elf slaves seem to be sold at outrageous prices according to this contract. I wonder why there was such a high demand for n though?
I shoved the seven contracts into my luggage sack before putting the ten tal rings in after them. I wrapped the rings in a cloth and put them in a leather pouch to prevent them from jangling about.
The owner already has cold feet so he wont mind.
Once the safe was cleaned out, I took a look around the flashy room that reeked of flamboyance, but most of the stuff was on the bulky side.
Since my business here was done, I decided to prepare for the other two to join
a little early. I grab the key hanging on the door and unlocked it. Once they were done checking the rooms on each side, they should be heading here.
After a while, Ariane and Danka entered the room quietly and quickly closed the door.
I only found a few small fry in the rooms, how about you?
There was nothing in particular in mine.
Both got result that they werent happy about.
After hearing Dankas answer, Arianes golden eyes were questioningly pointed in my direction.
I gained so information. The captured elves are probably being held in the underground dungeon. There is also this.
I pulled the parchnts I got from the safe out of my sack and handed them to Ariane. She looked at it them with suspicion for a mont before she opened one and glanced over the contracts. Wrinkles started to crop up on her forehead.
This!
Those are the elves sale contracts. Since the nas of the buyers are written down in several places, you should be able to use it as a clue. Theres more, apparently there are two more elves trapped in the feudal lords castle.
Whered this information co from
Ariane looked up and glanced around the room as she asked that. The bodies inside the room have already beco cold, and the boss was nothing more than a ornant for the desk now.
She judged that they were the source of the information. The source of the information is a trivial matter, whats important now is that we need to move quickly.
While I trusted the words of the ninja girl it was rely based on my own intuition. Perhaps, its better to let them develop their own conclusions here.
Once were finished here, well head over the feudal lords castle. Hiring you was the right decision, normally it wouldnt be easy to sneak into the castle.
She laughed while saying that and rolled the parchnt back up before returning it to .
To think that the feudal lord was involved! The elders have to be inford of this when we return.
Danka raised an eyebrow as he spit out that comnt.
Judging by the amount of money involved in the elven slave trade, wealthy nobles and rchant must be apart of it; has my workload been increased?
I suppose I could collect so extra inco from the feudal lords castle
If our brethren are in the underground dungeon we have to go there at once. After that, the feudal lords castle.
Danka nodded in agreent at Arianes words and left the room. I follow behind Ariane and Danka using Dinsional Step to prevent my armor from making noise.
We descended the stairway through the second floor to the first floors central hall.
The disarray of the tables and chairs gave the hall the atmosphere of a pub, in fact there were even a few bad n hanging around. Fortunately they havent noticed us yet.
Once Ariane gave the fall back gesture, we quietly returned to the second floor.
As expected, its impossible to reach the dungeon from here without being noticed. Ill take care of the ones on the first floor, while you two deal with the reinforcents from the second floor.
Both Danka and I nod at the suggestion, and Ariane pulls out her sword and focuses on the stairway to the first floor.
Then she leaps out in a flash.
From the the top of the stairwell, she leaped out with sword in hand; the gathered n were shocked at this occurrence.
Dance within this blade, fla
After she chanted in a low voice, flas started to run down the blade of her sword. The man she cut upon landing with the sword of fire, no only let out a spray of blood, but also had red flas wrap around his entire body and set his clothes ablaze.
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
As the mans death throes filled the the large hall, sounds of activity from other rooms on the first floor and on both sides of the second floor could be heard.
As his body was roasted by the flas, the man fluently rolled about between the table and chairs. A few of the near by n tried to put out the flaming man, but Ariane simply attacked them with her fla sword causing the fire to get even larger.
Danka ca out of one of the rooms on the second floor and started to kill n that were trying to reach the first floor, with a sword covered in light. From this side it looked like a dance where no one was fit to partner with Danka.
I recall that the elves were a group that specialized in magic, but seeing the swordsmanship these two, I may have to rethink that assumption.
Since the n coming out of the farther back rooms could see what was going on, they tried to take another path around Danka, but I fired off Rock Bulletat each of them. Rocks the size of fist not only tore new holes into the n but also into the wall behind them.
The guards listening to this outside could join the battle at any mont.
Using Dinsional Step, I transfer in front of the front door and lowered the large bolt on the door to prevent anyone from getting in or out. None of these people here would ever leave this place alive.
You bastardddd!!!
A man trying to raise the moral of the group ca charging at
from behind. When he got in range, I lightly throw my fist out in retaliation.
I felt the mans skull shatter before he was blow away, only after crashing through a table and chair did the impact with a wall stop him.
The physical abilities of a level 255 body were a bit overkill for opponents of this level.
Suddenly, a large wall of fire ca from the within the compound. I think one of the n Ariane set ablaze with her sword might have ran towards the kitchen. Apparently so of the cooking oil caught fire.
While the building was made of stone, it was filled with flammable objects. Columns of fla started to spring up all over the place.
Kyun
Ponta, who was a top my head till now, wrapped herself around my neck and turned her ears downward because she didnt like the fire.
It like Im wearing a fur scarf next to a blazing inferno.
Looking around I saw that the the clean up of the second floor was complete as Danka had already made his way to the first floor. Ariane had shock off the flas from her sword and was searching periter.
I could hear that soone was knocking of the large front door and faintly make out a yelling voice. The door seed to be thicker and heavier than I thought, and combined with the firmly placed bolt it ant that no one could get in easily.
There are the stairs to the basent!
As the fire spread through the first floor, I look in the direction that Danka called out to and saw a stone staircase leading to the basent, that was hidden behind the main stairwell.
Frowning at the rising temperature caused by the fire, Ariane took off the hood of her cloak and gave a silent follow
gesture before running down the gloomy stairs.
Danka quickly follows behind, and I bring up the rear.
What the hell!!? Gyuaa!!!!
The scream of a man and the sound of tal clashing alerted
that there was a fight going on below as I descended the stairs.
Fuck!! Why are you in this place!! What are those guys upstairs doing!!!
I heard the sound of sothing hitting the floor, and when I arrived it was already over.
The basent was unexpectedly spacious, and the walls were lined with cell doors. The sll of the three fallen ns blood was mixing with the earthen sll of the basent was a little disgusting though.
While covered in blood, Ariane reached down to one of the fallen n and rips off a tal key ring from his waist before running to one of the cells.
Im Ariane Glenys Maple! Im here to rescue you!!
When she delivered her introduction, sothing hit the cell door like a brick and caused a loud Clangsound to resonate.
Thats a lie!? Warriors from maple have co to help!?
Judging by appearance the girl against the cell door and shouted in surprise and joy was around 17 years old, and the girls that appeared after her looked even younger than that.
They all wore the sa tal collars the children in the forest had on.
Ariane quickly inserted key after key into the keyhole looking for the right one. Before long, I hear the sound of the lock clicking and the girl burst out of her cell, the other girls were soon freed as well.
While the girls gave their gratitude to Ariane, I noticed that the flas had reached the top of the stone stairs. The removal of the Magic eating collar will have to wait, we dont have the ti to take things slow.
Ariane-dono, the first floor has been consud by the flas. We should hurry.
When the girls noticed my voice, a number of screams were let out and they all hid behind Ariane.
Due to my body being covered by a black cloak and my face by my helt, the first impression with the girls wasnt very good.
Its all right, this man is a helper that I employed. Is this everyone that had been captured?
The girls smiled a little before simultaneously nodding their heads at her question
Arc, our business in done here.
All right. Ill transfer us outside of town in a mont!
I approached the group of four girls that were around Arine, and I evoked the magic when I was sure Danka was within range.
Transfer Gate!
The dimly lit basent was illuminated by the light of the magic formation that appeared beneath our feet.
The four elf girls had a variety of expression as they clanged to Ariane as the floating sensation of the magic phenonon occurred.
Despite the girls anxiety the floating sensation went by in an instant, their vision went dark, and the curtain of the moonlit sky proceeded the darkness.
The flow of the river could be heard and even the shadow of the six arch bridge could be seen. On the other side of the bridge, Dientos city wall could be seen.
The girls surrounding Ariane looked around in amazent as they couldnt understand what happened in that instant.
Along with the sounds of the river and the wind blowing through the grass, the high-pitched sound of a bell could be heard from the towns direction. It was the alarm bell to inform people of the fire.
I could see smoke rising and a faint red glow from the other side of the city wall.
It was a sight that everyone in town could see
