Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Arnette Mission II: Escape plan
"Hahahhahahahaha, you really think I’m a fool, why will I until you?"
Arnette applied force to his hand and pulled both his hands, the rope tore of, he sat up and pointed his finger towards his legs that were tied, the ropes burnt off.
"You must really take me for a fool that I can’t do this much myself?"
"What the?... I will report you to the authorities!" She jumped off the bed and pointed the knife to Arnette.
"Don’t you want to leave? This might be the perfect chance to help you, I have come here to save my comrades, I can add one more..."
"..." the knife fell off her hand, "it’s not as easy as you think...it..."
"I don’t know why you are hesitant but I don’t have time on my hands, I have to start going"
"You can’t"
"Uhh? What do you mean, I can’t?"
"It’s the first hour of the breaking dawn, the soldiers will start their morning drill, if you are caught you will be facing over a thousand soldiers yourself."
"Well doesn’t that mean that the city will be free of soldiers?"
"Not that free, but compared to during the day... yea"
"That is all good for me... I have to get going, I’ll be waiting for you if you decide to change your mind, I’ll be waiting outside the gate"
Arnette walked out and again stealthily walked to the students hall, on getting there what he saw there was not what he had expected.
The door of the people he specifically handed over letter to was opened, all opened, but not alone, there were also two other doors opened but he didn’t have the time to reason as to why, the only choice he had now was to go outside the gate and hope they had explain, he slapped a face and went outside, he could see fire touches faraway in the forest and it looks like they were already coming back from their morning jog, Arnette quickly undo his stealth and ran very fast, he ran to the top of the walls where he climbed from and jumped down, on reaching a little closer to the ground he applied psi energy below his feet and slowly landed on landing he was approached by the wolves,
’Where have you heen?! We have been waiting’
"Damn... they are not here...?"
’What do you mean they are not here? They are!’
Immediately Cualli and the others came out from the lightly dark forest.
"Woh, Sir Arnette I never for once thought you were going to send wolves to rescue us!" Cualli said with joy as he ran approaching Arnette.
"What? Wolves?" Arnette turned his eyes to the direwolves who were sitting with pride with their heads up.
"Yes wolves" Cualli answered him.
’Seriously how?!’ Arnette asked in his mind to the direwolves.
The second lightening attribute direwolf stepped up and answered,’Well we told you already, we are linked, we can hear what you think, through Master’s link. So when your consciousness faded, we suspected something was wrong, so we took the matter in our own hands and we snuck in to rescue them’
"....what? Are these really wolves, where did Reinard find such wolves"
"I know right, they were like very cool, we just saw them using tear the lock open with just their fangs at first we were frightened but they bent we climbed and then they went whoosh, bah nah into the air and over the walls, they were so cool sir Arnette you should have seen them!" Cuallu danced around like a kid.
Estrid suddenly butt in slowly, "what do mean, Reinard find such wolves, does that mean our party leader owns them?"
"Yes, apparently it seems he does"
Cualli opened his mouth in surprise, "Wow, now I feel joining Redmoon is not a mistake"
"It never was and it never will be" Arnette answers him.
Arnette rubbed his chin and spoke, "but something bothers me..."
"What?" Cualli asked.
"Two other doors were opened"
The wolves suddenly shrank back.
Cualli replied, "we know nothing about that"
"Oh... you don’t" Arnette faced the direwolves, "do...you...?"
’....we might have messed up things a little bit, but there was no way we would have known, that guy said he was one of everyone, but as soon as we opened the gate he disappeared’
’Really...?’
’Yes’
Arnette sighed, "let’s focus on leaving here first"
Arnette suddenly placed his hand on his sword, "someone is approaching"
He immediately remembered and took his hand away, "I didn’t think you would come actually"
"I don’t want to get married to a kid looking tyrant I don’t even know, I’ll prefer to explore the world, help me get out of here, I mean the central Artic, and I’ll surely repay you." She spoke as she opened the hood of her black cloak.
Arnette smiled, "I never asked of your name?"
"Call me Luisa" she replied.
Arnette smiled again, "let’s go"
Cualli whispered with the others, "I find it extremely weird that sir Arnette is smiling that much..." however no one answered him since he’s yet to build that perfect bond with them and not many people are close to Arnette like he is, to the he was just another superstar like the party leader, Zolin, Sigrid and Jon.
They all ran into the forest and began their escape.
Meanwhile********
The other two that have found their way out was Tach the need that argued with Cualli and another named Etgar, both of them have managed to find their way to the leader’s quarters.
"So what is it? Why are you both seeking audience with me?" Ulfur asked them.
"Sir third, some students are escaping as we speak!" Tach quickly bowed and spoke.
"So what?"
Tach was stranded by the third leader’s response, even he had no idea how tyrannical and proud Ulfur can be.
"So instead of escaping with then, you thought it would better for you to report them to me and earn favor, maybe even get to make me your sponsor...how wise...but aren’t you all from the same academy...you would sell out your friends for power, that too is amazing, you both have traits to become villains, I’ll make you an offer"
Both of them began to sweat.
"...become my subordinate, I don’t care how weak you all are, I will train you till you get strong, but you will abandon your studentship and become my lackeys, who knows when it time for me to leave the seat for the higher ones, one of you might be able to claim it. Or you can escape right now and get caught by the soldiers and if you do get caught I will issue an immediate beheading because both of you are trash"
Both of them bowed and screamed, "we will stay!! We will serve you"
Ulfur burst into laughter, "what a choice to make!! It will be hard bit I’ll make sure to use both of you very well." Ulfur continued laughing and they stated there on their knees thinking of what they just got themselves into.
***************
When Dugnis first entered the forest he thought the elves that ambushed them was just a small group not until when they began to prepare for war, Dugnis sat on a tree and watched them March out, "where the hell did these amount of soldiers come from in this small forest?"
"Don’t ever underestimate an elf..." Jon climbed up to him as he spoke.
"Well you do seem to be having alot of fun with them."
"Yes I am, compared to you, a vampire whom they are wary of, I’m just a human they are comfortable around plus..." Jon raised his fingers and ice flakes appeared and began to rotate, "....I have have very beautiful ability, elves are lovers of mana, they love to be around a human that has mana authority"
"Pfft, showoff"
"Of course..."
Dugnis face lowered, "by the way...aren’t you curious or worried about the others?"
Jon looked up, "I am actually, my friends I know, Arnette will try to find me and he might get in trouble for it...not to say Rein would be very worried, and this is a dangerous path, this is nothing school-like or when we were facing the Fangdorrs, we are talking about demons and dudes who have been living for over a thousand years. We could really lose our lives this time around"
"I’m beginning to doubt if I made the right decision to go and save the first leader, because that got us into this huge mess, plus I kinda dragged you into what you didn’t want to be in..."
"Yes you did but saving him was one thing I am proud of, I mean I’m barely nineteen and I snatched a human from someone that is thousands years old, what more could I be proud of, I’ll make it out of this and I know I will be stronger when I do"
"That’s a spirit, your friends really are lucky to have someone like you!" Dugnis smiled at Jon as he spoke.
Jon replied with a solemn look, "nah, I am the lucky one"
