Chapter 258 - Fortress (2) (1/2)

Auron, with his hands tied, was guided into the fortress. The bandits were cautious. They assigned twenty bandits to oversee Auron. And also, they blindfold Auron's eyes.

Moreover, to confuse Auron, they deliberately circle the fortress several times. Left, right, upstairs, downstairs, upstairs again, turning back, and so forth. It took them almost thirty minutes to take Auron to the underground jail.

Auron had tried to memorize the path he took. However, it didn't work. Halfway remembering the way, Auron became confused.

One of the reasons was because the bandits kept on talking loudly besides Auron. They also hit Auron several times and tripped him on purpose. Auron had to fell and stand up again several times.

They even pushed Auron when they were at the stairs. Auron's body was hurt in pain. However, he didn't scream or curse. He was in silent mode and tried to memorize the path.

When he had already failed to memorize the path, he was so furious that finally, he fight back when the enemies pushed him. Of course, the enemies didn't let Auron did as he like. The twenty bandits immediately restrained Auron.

Meanwhile, another five bandits also arrived to help. After Auron was under their control, they continued their journey to the underground jail again.

When Auron arrived at the underground jail, he felt the differences. The air here was so humid. And, the stench was awful. Although Auron was using a blindfold, but he could sense the difference.

The first time he arrived at the underground jail, it was darker compared to the place before. The passageway was narrow. Auron could feel that the walls beside him were close.

Clang... The bandits opened up a cell. Then, one of the bandits opened up Auron's blindfold. Auron's sight was a little bit blurry. Moreover, it was dark here. There was only one source of light that was the torch that the bandit brought behind him.

When Auron regained his sight, he saw his shadow on the wall inside the cell. The cell was small. It only sized to 2 x 2 meters. With that size, it was only enough for one person. Moreover, there was nothing inside the cell.

No beds, no windows, no toilet, and, more importantly, no light. ”Quick! Go inside!” One of the bandits pushed Auron. With so many bandits around, Auron could not resist. Moreover, his hands were tied, and his feet were shackled to a steel ball.

After Auron went inside the jail, the bandits immediately close the cell's door and locked it. Their task was finished.

With the completion of their task, they had no reason to be here. The bandits went outside of the underground jail. They also brought the torch.

With the bandits gone, so did with the only source of light. The cell went pitch black. In darkness, Auron carefully sit down on the ground.

Auron's body was aching due to the falling and hit from the bandits. He tried to calm his mind to ease the pain. After several minutes inside the jail, Auron's eyes were used to the darkness.

Although it was still not clear, but he began could see in the dark. He could see the cell's bar in front of him. Auron looked around. With little difficulty, Auron could identify six cells, including his cell.

However, he didn't know if the cell was empty or there were other prisoners. Suddenly, Auron heard a rustling sound in front of him.
