Chapter 721: Hitching A Ride With Criminals
I woke up inside a small dark room with Freya sleeping next to me, Kira was playing cards with Jade nearby.
"Why do I keep losing?" (Jade)
"You only use Serpent-type monsters and poison cards, their strategies are very simple." (Kira)
"In a real battle, simplicity is better for a strategy." (Jade)
"These games were created to increase tactical thinking, so it should..." (Kira)
"Looks like you woke up master." (Kira)
"Good morning Master or should I say good night?" (Jade)
"Hello girls, how long have I slept?" (I)
"About 2 days, it's the night of the second day after Freya stopped the city's destruction." (Kira)
I remember taking Freya and the others to one of the more destroyed houses to hide, meanwhile, I passed orders to everyone before sitting down to rest for a while, then my eyelids felt heavy.
I look at the dark room, the floor is made of smooth stone, the walls are made of wood with various magic circle designs and the ceiling seems to be made of metal with a big magic circle the size of the room drawn on it, there seemed to be a skylight in the ceiling in one corner of the room along if a ladder.
"What is this place? Where are the others?" (I)
"Most have returned to the Dungeon." (Jade)
"Me and Elsaris along with our subordinates followed the original plan, but I asked Elsaris and her sister to join Athena's group to carry out her last orders." (Kira)
"I suppose it must have all been very easy." (I)
"Yes, with so much chaos all over the city, a lot of crimes started to happen, the death toll from murder caused by people taking advantage of the chaos is over 200." (Kira)
I knew that the worst part of this destruction would come later, there will always be opportunists trying to turn a major disaster into something profitable even at the expense of the suffering of others.
I look at Jade and Kira, they both look fine, then I turn to Freya sleeping beside me, her clothes are new and clean, it looks like someone changed her clothes, then I look at my clothes which to my horror was a pink dress very feminine and cute.
"Was it rica or Diana?" (I)
"The idea came from Lilith, but rica and Diana were delighted with the idea." (Kira)
"Wait a minute, did you say 15 people captured?" (I)
"I said he'd notice." (Jade)
"Damn, I owe Nolan 20 silvers now." (Kira)
"What are you talking about?" (I)
"Nolan and Kira made a bet about you not noticing the two extra people in the captured people numbers when Kira would report to you." (Jade)
"I thought sleepiness might help me." (Kira)
"After you pay Nolan, tell me about these two people first?" (I)
"I captured them on the way to taking care of the other 13." (Kira)
"Can you tell me about them in a little while, how's the rest of what I ordered?" (I)
"We recover all items from the auction that was canceled for obvious reasons, so as requested was only the items that belong to us." (Kira)
"We've also taken care of everything to get out of the mainland, we're going to take a boat belonging to traffickers of stolen goods." (Kira)
"Excellent, will this get us a few more things along with a ship when we leave?" (I)
"Tomorrow, as soon as the twin moons are in the sky and the Suns are gone." (Kira)
"During the night, I understand." (I)
It seems that everything has been resolved the way I asked, and our escape route is also ready.
"Did anyone see what we did that day?" (I)
"No, Athena and Vanessa hid you." (Kira)
"What about the Hero and his two companions?" (I)
"They left today, looks like they bought a ship and left, they were looking for you before they left." (Kira)
"I don't want to meet them anymore, Darcia looks a lot like Diana and for me, a Diana is enough, I don't even want to talk about that straight Hero." (I)
