471 Escape (2/2)

They had to remove their shackles. The Fairies tied tree vines on their hands that prevented them from using Mana. Dragonborn felt that he was unable to activate his Mana Skills.

While Dragonborn was looking for something sharp to cut the vines, Tomato shrunk his hands and squirmed out of them. Was that the Contorting Skill?

Dragonborn looked in astonishment at Tomato's feat. Tomato was nonchalant. He put Dragonborn's hands on the table and nodded before saying, \”Are you ready?\”

Dragonborn didn't understand Tomato, but he nodded and replied, \”I'm ready!\”

Tomato raised his fist and pummeled Dragonborn's hands, and the crisp sound of bones fracturing could be heard. His hands became limp, and he was unable to control them.

Dragonborn felt that his hands were fractured, but he didn't feel any pain.

He understood what Tomato was doing. After his bones were fractured, his hands could get out of the vines easily. It was another Contorting Skill.

Tomato said to Dragonborn, \”Don't worry, I found a Healing Potion. The Fairy's Healing Potion is the best.\”

Tomato took out a Potion and poured it on Dragonborn's hands. His two fractured hands healed completely.

\”Let's go and retrieve our weapons and armor before leaving. Follow behind me. There are few guards today, as they went to Yggdrasill for a ritual that is held once every two days. Follow me,\” Tomato explained and brought Dragonborn out of the room.

Dragonborn watched as Tomato used the previous vines to pick the door's lock. The door was opened, and they walked out.

Tomato was familiar with the surroundings. It was as though he was walking in his home. When they arrived at each corner, he would place a shiny object on the tip of his foot, then extend it out to see around the corner.

It was like the scenes in movies. If it were real life, Tomato would definitely be a special agent.

However, Tomato was only a digit in the game world.

Dragonborn was full of respect for Tomato, who was like his mentor. He had only read about such feelings in newspapers. Some gamers developed feelings of like or dislike for game NPCs. He didn't expect himself to develop such feelings for an NPC.

Dragonborn thought he was foolish for treating an NPC like a real person.

Tomato didn't know what Dragonborn was thinking about. He led Dragonborn around the Fairies' territory and evaded their patrols. Finally, he got Dragonborn out of the Fairies' territory.

Dragonborn turned back to look at Yggdrasill. He knew that the tree was related to the Open Beta. He didn't know when he would return, but he was sure the next time he returned, it would be to take over Yggdrasill.

Dragonborn shook his head and tossed all thoughts of Yggdrasill out of his mind. He followed Tomato and vanished into the dense forest.

Behind them, a Fairy stood on a branch overlooking their departure. He turned his head and said to his companion, \”Those two Humans have left. Do we follow them?\”

The companion was wearing golden armor and looked nobler than the rest of the Fairies. The Fairy in golden armor nodded and said, \”Let them leave. The Human is able to build a close relationship with the Wyvern, so perhaps he can help us. Follow them. If they can interact with the primordial creatures, it will be useful in our mission to find the Princess.\”

The Fairy at the side nodded and followed behind Tomato and Dragonborn.

Dragonborn didn't know, but Tomato discovered that someone was trailing them. After leaving the Fairies' territory, he didn't let down his guard. He moved with Dragonborn and changed directions several times, using several techniques to determine their location.

After an hour of fleeing, Tomato and Dragonborn arrived at a wooden house.

The wooden house was built on top of the branches of a large tree and was hidden by the thick foliage. It was hard to discover unless one looked closely.

The house looked aged, and the walls were covered in green moss.

When Dragonborn entered the house, he found that the furniture was quite new in contrast to the aged appearance outside.

Tomato leaned next to the window and looked outside before saying to Dragonborn, \”I don't know whether the Fairies followed us here, so we can only rest here for an hour. Don't worry about your young Wyvern. It will catch up based on your scent. Of course, not now. Otherwise, the Fairies will follow the young Wyvern to locate you. I covered your scent with some fragrance. Once we are out of the woods, I'll remove the fragrance. Don't worry, the young Wyvern's sense of smell is acute.\”

Dragonborn believed Tomato. He didn't expect Tomato to be knowledgeable about Wyverns. He had a lot to learn from Tomato.

Tomato sat down and frowned. He said to Dragonborn, \”The Fairies are preparing for something. I don't know what they're planning, but I feel something ominous.\”

Dragonborn's eyes lit up.

It must be the sequel to his Strange Encounter Mission.
