Chapter 267 - Alices help (4) (1/2)

”Wait up, let me try to remember it,” Auron said to Alice.

But, Alice stopped him, ”No! You don't need to. If you make a mistake, I am afraid that you will trigger a trap or something worse.”

Alice's word woke Auron. Fortunately, he was not in a rush, so Alice could stop him. He looked at Alice and asked, ”Then, what should we do? Should we come back? I believe you have verified what I had said.”

”Yes, but it is not enough. Halves of what you said had been verified. However, the other halves haven't”

”I believe that my student had been kidnapped by the bandit. However, I still didn't know about the bandit's headquarter. Is this place really the bandit's headquarter or not?”

”Moreover, if this is really the bandit's headquarter. At least, we need to find a way to go inside. Else, there would be no meaning for us to bring many soldiers here.”

”This woman! She was so strange. She still didn't believe this place was the bandit's headquarter, but she was afraid of the trap.” Auron cursed inside his mind.

However, he could not say it loudly. Instead, he asked, ”Then, what should we do? Just let me try it. If it triggers the trap, then you knew what I am saying before is correct.”

”No!” This was the third time Alice said no. ”If you trigger the trap, then the enemy would know that we are here. After all, they know that you had escaped. So, you must have to look for help!”

”Oh, man!” Auron forgot that he made up a story. He could bravely try to open the door even though it will trigger a trap because the enemy would never know who triggered the trap. The enemies would only think that there was some monster who mistakenly hit the cliff and trigger the trap. Or, they could consider one of their subordinate carelessly made a mistake and trigger the trap.

However, Auron had made up a story about how he escaped if he were positioned himself according to the story, then what Alice said was correct.

”But, still, my friend didn't have that much time. I am afraid they already tortured him or even wanted to execute him.” Auron acted according to the made-up story. He even spouted some nonsense like torture or execution.

”No way, this is night time. Moreover, this still the first day he was captured. They could be torturing him, but they would not execute him this soon.”

”What should we do?” Alice was pondering hard.

Auron was also thinking hard on how to urge Alice. When Alice and Auron were pondering on their own thought, Alice sensed something.

She quickly grabbed Auron and dragged him behind the trees. She also closed Auron's mouth with her hand. Auron was shocked, so he was struggling a little before he saw Alice's face.

When Auron saw Alice's serious face, he immediately know something was up. So he stopped struggling and calmed down.
