Chapter 5: Light and Shadow Part 5 – translated by Azakura
The moment he spoke, Red Cloak covered his mouth and leaned close to his ear to whisper, “Don’t speak Just nod in reply Do you trust me?”
Silvester blinked a few times When he heard Red Cloak’s question, he iarlic But after nodding, he realized that he had absolutely no basis for trusting Red Cloak in the first place He did not know the other party’s real name and had also never even seen their face… Not to ender
“Follow me”
Red Cloak let go of Silvester, then turned around to climb out of the basement Silvester hurriedly followed but looked back to scan the rest of the group before he left Everyone was sleeping like the dead Even Cale, as supposed to be on night-watch, had fallen asleep as well Silvester could not tell if it was because he was actually exhausted or if it was Red Cloak’s doing
If Red Cloak really is the Warrior Queen, I’ll definitely beg her to couys Silvester vowed to himself
Loud booms sounded one after another Cale had immediately woken up at the first blast of sound, but his reaction was still not quick enough The basement door had been kicked directly to the floor by solimpse of the black uniform that the patrol team wore His heart sank as he understood that their escape this time was now a failure
Yet there were still parts he did not coe to find this place, and how on earth did they accomplish it in such a short period of time?
While the city isn’t exactly large, it is still of considerable size Besides, they can’t blatantly conduct the search in public, so how could they have discovered a secret door concealed a the floor boards with such ease and speed?
He hardly believed that the patrol teauarded for half an hour while changing shi+fts, could be experts at searching
“Get out here, all of you! Any bastard who lags behind will get whipped! daet reprimanded by the city lord!”
The color of the slaves’ faces was ashen So certain death They climbed out of the basement one by one, and as they had expected, received a round of beating
The patrol captain spoke with a foul- the day of the auction and the city lord ordering us not to rough you up, I would have beaten all of you to death!”
Despite the city lord’s order, the patrol team still raised their hands at the slaves fro as the slaves already had a fair a as they did not cripple the slaves, they could still satisfy their lord
“Silvester?”
Cale was shocked to see a face he knew uards had ed to find them so easily…
Silvester had betrayed them!
Cale roared, “I’ll kill you,” then immediately pounced in Silvester’s direction with an expression akin to a round by quite a few guards
Terrified, Silvester retreated a nu attitude and usually never provoked any deep animosities; hence, this was the first time he had ever seen a person direct such vicious hatred toward him
“Captain, we’re done restraining!” a guard reported in a loud voice
The patrol captain laughed maliciously as he reproached his subordinates “You’re done? Nonsense! Don’t you kno to get things done? See that gigolo still out here? Tie him up with the rest!”
The patrol teaolo their leader spoke of
Silvester stared at them in shock He frantically spoke, “Hold on! Didn’t you say that you’d let ?”
The patrol captain laughed coldly “When did I say that? You’d better not speak such rubbish around here!”
A patrol member twisted Silvester’s hands behind his back and tied a rope around them Silvester did not dare protest He simply cried out wistfully with unshed tears, “You clearly did say so! How could you go back on your word?”
Cale sneered, “So he went back on his word What can you do about it? You actually believed hiin with!”
Silvester withdrew his head While he felt deeply wronged, he did not dare refute a single line of it
“Lock this guy up in a separate jail cell to spare hi torn apart by the other inmates If even one of them dies, the city lord would definitely not let us off!” The patrol captain laughed maliciously, “But don’t lock hiolo to feel too lonely Let’s lock them up in adjacent cells so that they can chat”
Waaaa! Red Cloak, you’re really gonna get me killed at this rate!
Silvester shrank into the furthest corner of the adjacent cell He felt so wronged that he was ready to cry bitterly until he lost his voice
The curses and conde jail cell ca were his parents, grandparents, and so forth, whom he had never seen before No one cursed his teacher, so he had no need to refute them to defend his teacher’s reputation
Cale was the only one a He si with deep-seated hatred… If the bars separating the two jail cells were to suddenly vanish, while the rest of the slaves would probably charge over and beat me to a pulp, wouldn’t Cale most definitely kill me?
Whenever he noticed the hatred in Cale’s eyes, Silvester felt a number of cold shi+vers run down his back In the end, he could not even bear to look at hi to hypnotize hi asleep quickly
But with the cursing from twenty people in the adjacent cell no more than three ht be, it would be impossible to fall asleep!
However, the cursing suddenly stopped coe so he lifted his head to see The slaves who had originally crowded the side nearest to hih Cale walked out froht at Silvester
