225 Old Friend (2/2)

*SWOOOOOOSH!* His attack was predictable and I was able to dodge in time with a sidestep. He's trying to launch another follow-up move but...

*CLAAAANG!* I stopped his attack by disarming his weapon by attacking his elbow.

”Ugh!” He tried to grab his elbow because of the pain and pulled back.

”As I said, we need you to find something. We're offering money here even higher than your bounty. So let's calm down and talk this through, okay?” I tried to calm him down but it seems like he's still irritated.

”If you really need my help and willing to pay. Give ush 100 gold right now.” Two Teeth said, seems fair.

”Fine...” I replied and asked Beat to give him what he wants.

”So are we good? Don't try running away though because these guys are trackers and we can just track you guys down.” I warned them.

”Okay. If you're willing to pay this much then I guessh you got my shervich.” Well, I don't know if we can really trust him right now but he's the only one we've got so far.

”Do I need to bring my friendsh or just me?” I guess his friends are smarter than him but we don't want too much attention.

”Just you is enough. For now, here... wear this to hide your identity. We don't want to get in trouble now that we have a wanted guy with us.” And I'm one to talk...

”Shure Shure...” He grabbed the cloak and wore it. I hope this works well.

He said his goodbyes to his friends and then we started moving back to the city. It's getting dark again... I hope this work smoothly.

”So what'sh thish thing you are trying to find? I can't help you if I don't know what it ish.” He started asking me.

”It's not what... it's who. I bet you've heard that Scy disappeared and didn't show when Dragoons fought with the Order of Lights. It's because they were trapped and now they are being held captive to increase the chances of the other guilds of winning.” I explained.

”Oh, I thought he jusht run away becaush he'sh a shcardy cat. Haha!” I don't think it's the time to joke about that...

”What did you just say?!” Beat has shown aggression.

”Now now... let's not start a fight here. We need to move fast and get them back before sunrise or it will be hard for us to move.” Beat calmed down for a bit and then we started moving faster.

-Order of Light South Gate-

We reached the city's South Gate and we tried to enter but we were stopped by guards once again. We used the North gate earlier and if we go there again, it might be hard to enter again.

After doing the same trick, they let us get past the gate without any problems. They didn't check us that much after seeing the badge we have.

Night time is the time where more people show up because it's the time when they sleep and can play till morning. I can tell that there are more guards patrolling and so far... we're not being followed yet. I can tell that we've got eyes on us, though.

”So... where's the Dungeon?” I whispered to Two Teeth.

”Jusht follow me. I know thish plache very well.” He replied and somehow... it's not the way to the city castle gates... I hope he's not trying to betray us.

We followed him straight to a place where there are like five guards. It's not even a building but it's like an underground path below the city castle, not that far from city caste gate. Usually, buildings have like two or three people guarding them but this is odd.

”That'sh the entrance to the Dungeon. There'sh no other eashy way unlessh you want to go inshide the main cashtle.” He explained.

”There are five guards, it will be hard to not attract attention. If we somehow show up and kill them, they might log out and alert their superiors. This will be hard.” It's one of the flaws of the game for sneaking.

”That's true but not if they are affected by a specific status effect. Here... take this.” Beat handed me some kind of potion. I heard he's a potion master.

”Miss Petula helped me create those too. She kind of like alchemy and made this for us. You can coat your weapon with that and with one slash, the target will fall asleep in no time. Using range weapon is better for better sneaky results.” Oh, sis likes alchemy. No wonder she can create things like this.

”I guess that should do the work,” And then we started making our move.

Beat prepared his short bow and the others readied their daggers. In just a split second, we were able to take them down using range attacks including my dagger throw.

”Wow, not sho bad.” I can tell that Two-Teeth is enjoying the view.

We entered inside using the key from the guards and it looks like normal inside.
