Chapter 90 - At Estel part 4 (1/2)
[Rean point of view]
As the three of us approaches Mr Erinmorlin, we can see that he is holding some sort of map. I wonder what kind of map will he show us
”There you are” [Erinmorlin]
He said that with a cautious voice. His voice makes my heart race even faster, after all, Mr Erinmorlin here is accustomed to traveling, and thus have a few shares of stories that involves him getting in a tight situation, so when I heard such cautious voice coming from him, it really does make one anxious, but not the other two. They're both calm, this just show how much stronger and experienced they're compared to little hatchling like me.
”We are told to meet you here. I suppose you have some good information?” [Jacks]
”I did. Well, I don't know what you will find but here, take a look” [Erinmorlin]
”This is...” [Qis]
”A map of dungeon? No. Just what is this?” [Rean]
”This is the map of the underground drainage system in Estel. That's too say, it's incomplete since us fellow engineer found something interesting” [Erinmorlin]
”And that is?” [Jacks]
”An underground pathway. One of us actually confirm an interesting finding, the noble, merchant and church people sneak in and out some nasty stuff there” [Erinmorlin]
”What stuff?” [Rean]
”Well...” [Erinmorlin]
He looks uncomfortable, why is that so? Could it be monster, or some drugs? I should just take a guess
”Could it be monsters and drugs?” [Rean]
”That, and also children slave?” [Jacks]
”!” [Rean]
”I take it this is related to the slaves that were transported at the Rock and Sea dungeon back then? I do heard some of it escapes, with a little girl being almost...” [Qis]
”Such a thing...” [Rean]
I'm sure everyone will have their blood boiled up. I myself feel the same, with my grip automatically tighten and make a hard clenched fist.
”Still, I thought Estel is abolishing slave system?” [Rean]
”On paper, yes. But...” [Qis]
”You will find a case or two here and there about a slave inside this country. So this could mean that we are actually having a vital information here” [Jacks]
”But how did they manage to snuck in the slaves?” [Rean]
”And that's why I'm here as well. That's not the only thing that's shown in this map. Take a look here” [Erinmorlin]
”It says, to the Rock and Sea...”! [Qis]
”Seriously!?” [Jacks]
”I thought it was a myth...” [Rean]
”Well, not anymore. This ancient tunnel here was also discovered by us, but that say, if they are cases of slaves being brought to Estel in illegal way, then that mean this is one of the pathways that are use by them” [Erinmorlin]
”And I suppose our job is to scout the area?” [Jacks]
”That seems to be the case. Also, I guess we should gather information of those using it, by catching them in action” [Qis]
”That's true. Well, Princess Diana did ask me to emphasize the scouting part to all of you as they're only three of you, but with Jacks and Qis here, I don't think that should be a problem” [Erinmorlin]
”Alright, shall we get started?” [Jacks]
”I'm ready!” [Rean]
”Same here” [Qis]
”Best of luck to the three of you. Rean, don't push yourself too hard, got it?” [Erinmorlin]
”Right!” [Rean]
As we went to the nearest door that lead to the underground drainage, Mr Jacks remind me not to waste so much of stamina and mana as we couldn't expect what we will find there. Sis Qis agree to his statement as well
