Vol 1 Chapter 4 (2/2)
“Obviously to escape from this place!” The slave rolled his eyes He snapped, “You’re still sleeping? Well, I’ to wait for you Bye!”
The bard remained stunned for a enuinely awake
The slaves were all crowded at a corner, but the nu one by one… Only when there were about three or four people left did the bard realize that they had dug a hole and left through that!
He stayed stunned for several seconds It was only when almost everyone had already made their way out that the bard came to his senses He breathed a soft whisper, “Wait for h the hole after them
When he reached the other side, he took a deep breath of stench-free, fresh air and then proceeded to gaze at the star-filled sky The bard suddenly understood how precious freedo able to escape fros of bliss
He turned back to look at the hole Although it was not very large, its size was just enough for a grownlike what could be dug with one’s bare hands
“Hey Hey U this hole?”
The slave rolled his eyes and said, “Hey? I have a na a meal at the tiht on the spot We used that soup spoon to dig”
“Oh, Cale Nice to meet you My name is Silvester”
“Such a long and stuffy na, perhaps because the bard had also given his na separated froht
“I’iven to me by my teacher”
Silvester stifled a laugh and shook his head to express his denial However, he was not entirely sure either After all, Lorenzo Louis, as the imperial bard, was not only a noblehest ranks possible And since Silvester was Lorenzo’s only student and successor, even if he failed to inherit everything from Lorenzo, it was true that he would still be of some status
“Everyone, stop Let’s hide here for the ti!”
Silvester widened his eyes This place is only roughly two streets away fro an all-nighter to escape I was even scared that I’d be left behind by everyone since I’m so physically weak!
“Cale, are we not leaving the city?” The other slaves also appeared to be worried
Cale shook his head and said, “The city gates are not open at night, so on’t be able to leave the city tonight However, no need to fret, everyone The city lord would not dare to create too big a ruckus searching for us within the city After all, privately selling slaves is illegal”
Everyone walked into a house Cale immediately squatted down and felt the floor with his hand In the end, he pulled up a secret door “Go on There is a basement below”
The slaves jumped down one at a time The basement was not all that small, and there were even nu shelves Despite the fact that the jars were covered in dust, to these prisoners who had not had a propertime, they would even eat bread that had been stepped on off the floor, let alone so from a jar covered in dust
Cale threw over a jar to Silvester The latter was unable to react right away and scra to find his balance
“Eat Don’t worry I’ve eaten this before I adone a little bad, but you won’t die fro it”
Silvester frowned as he looked at the exceedingly dirty jar Nevertheless, he could only wipe the jar on his pants, and then he proceeded to eat the food inside with no complaints
Although Silvester loved gourmet foods and was considerably picky about what he ate, after following his teacher around the wilderness for many years, he had since eaten a hideously messy array of food Not to mention that at the tiood at cooking, being able to eat dried rations was the equivalent of fine dining And if they finished all the dried rations and still could not locate any tohatsoever, then he would have to s, be it half-cooked, burnt frog meat boiled in weeds or a banquet of slimes
While eating the pickled food that had gone slightly bad, Silvester began considering his situation
I can’t help but feel that this escape was too easy I feel like I’uards did not try to prevent our escape at all! He exclaiuards were away for some reason!”
“Lucky?” Cale laughed coldly and then said, “I observed theuards are incredibly lazy When they change shi+ft, the earlier shi+ft would leave early and the later shi+ft would come late The interval where no one is around is half an hour long at the very least”
Half an hour? The bard was aghast as he realized, There’s no uards are really slacking off to an unbelievable extent!
Cale gave orders to everyone like a general “You’re free to do whatever you want after you’ve finished eating, but make sure to keep the noise down Try not to talk at all if you can, lest you want the search party to notice us”
What? No one intends to go off by themselves? Silvester looked in astonishment at the people around him There were about twenty or so people around, and practically everyone wore an uneasy look Perhaps no one dared to leave alone and would all rather stay with the group At the very least, Cale see, and he had already succeeded in getting everyone out of jail
Silvester was also afraid to leave He had already clashed with the guards twice If he were to even set foot on the streets, he would definitely be caught right away
After eating, no one dared to speak a word Most simply lowered their heads and slept
Silvester originally intended to have a chat with Cale, but he was glared at instead and was even repri to do and was also not feeling particularly sleepy, but he still tried to sleep
Bit by bit, he drifted into slumber At first, he could not sleep at all, but when he was half-asleep, he suddenly felt someone push him Immediately, he jolted awake, and the color red flashed before his eyes…
“Red…” Cloak?
