Chapter 542 Come and get me!
"Let's go out and explore the city itself."
As soon as I suggested this, all of them looked at me like I was crazy.
I wasn't surprised since I had been expecting this reaction from them the moment that I suggested this.
After all, it was a crazy idea.
There was still no knowing what was outside, it was still possible that there was someone lurking around in this city. Yet I wanted to walk around outside which would turn us into targets.
If it wasn't me, they might have really beaten me to death for suggesting such a crazy thing.
But since it was me, they couldn't do that.
In the end, it was Cecilia who came forward on behalf of everyone to say, "That's too dangerous, we can't take that risk."
I gave a nod to show that I understood her concerns, but then I said, "Even so, we have to do this. There's nothing else that we can gain from going house to house like this, especially with this preservation spell. Unless we take some risk, we won't be able to find anything."
Cecilia slightly knitted her brows when she heard this.
The others also recognized that what I said was correct, so they had conflicted looks as well.
It would be a lie to say that they weren't curious about what this place was.
And that curiosity was slowly eating them up from the inside.
So there was a part of them that was moved when I suggested that we go out and explore.
Still, they were knights in the first place, so their instincts kept them from following this suggestion.
Cecilia was the same as she shook her head and said, "This is still too dangerous. I can't allow this to happen."
She looked at me with a firm look, as if nothing that I could say could change what she was thinking.
I just gave a sigh and didn't bother arguing.
I knew that there was no use in arguing since it would be impossible to convince her when she was like this.
So instead of trying to convince her…
"Hey, can you come and take a look at something with me? I can't seem to see through it all on my own, so I need your help looking at it." I suddenly said.
Cecilia was surprised, but she gave a nod and followed me over to one of the tables.
When we came over, I didn't hesitate to suddenly trip her and make her fall over the table.
Cecilia was a powerful knight with strong reactions, but she couldn't react to something that she didn't expect at all. Not to mention, I was someone that she trusted, so she didn't think that she would have to be on guard when it came to anything with me.
I was probably the only person in the world that could do this to Cecilia.
The others were all shocked, so they weren't able to do a single thing to stop me.
As Cecilia fell over the table, I didn't hesitate to run outside.
Cecilia and none of the knights were able to stop me since they were completely caught off guard.
Cecilia was still trying to stand up from being tripped into the table while the knights were just staring on in shock as they couldn't believe that I would do something like this.
So I was able to run out without any of them stopping me.
When Cecilia stood up and saw that I had run out, her first reaction was to run out after me while shouting at the knights, "What are you all standing in a daze for! Follow our lord!"
The knights immediately realized what had happened after being yelled at by Cecilia and they all pulled out their weapons to run after me.
It seemed like they wanted to stop me from doing what I wanted to do, but it was already too late for that.
Before any of them could stop me, I cupped my hands in front of my mouth and shouted at the top of my voice, "Come and get me!"
Cecilia and the knights were all in shock when they heard this, but then they quickly formed a circle around me to protect me.
Cecilia looked at me with an angry and hurt look, but I didn't look at her as I kept shouting out, "Come and get me, I'm right here!"
I was shouting at the top of my voice, as if I wanted all the hidden creatures around us to come and attack us.
But there was only the echo of my voice and no other sound.
After a long silence, there was only more silence.
There was nothing that came out to attack us.
It didn't seem like there was anything here.
Seeing that nothing was coming to attack us, Cecilia grabbed me by the back of my collar and lifted me off the ground. Her hand came over my mouth to firmly cover it as she pulled me back into the house.
The knights all quickly followed behind, but they also made sure that nothing was following us.
When we were finally safe inside the house, Cecilia looked at me with an angry look and asked, "What was that? Not only did you put your own life in danger, you put all of our lives in danger! How could you do something like that?"
I just calmly looked at her and said, "You gave me no choice. You were too afraid to go out, so I just had to do what I had to do."
Cecilia responded in an angry voice, "And what you did almost killed us all!"
I shook my head as I said, "No it didn't since there's nothing out there. If you listened to me, you would have known that already. There's no danger out there, so we're going out there to explore. I am the lord and my decision is final."
Cecilia was taken aback when I suddenly stepped up like this.
Her knights looked at her as if they were asking her what they should do, which put her in a very awkward position.
But in the end, she backed down and said, "As you wish, my lord."
Though I could tell from the look in her eyes, this wasn't over yet.
