Chapter 15: Waves

By the time we stepped through this long-sealed gate, it was the middle of the night.

The family was asleep, and had no idea that a group of uninvited guests would open a metal door that had never been opened and never recorded, and break into their home.

So when they woke up from their sleep, they could only face the fact that they had become prisoners in horror. Mednach asked for enough information from them, then tied their limbs and gagged them and threw them into the storage room, ignoring them.

Having taken up the forward position, the oathbreakers temporarily halted their march. Mednaki needs to confirm his current location and then plan his next course of action.

"Then I'll go out first."

"Be careful, don't get in trouble."

I grabbed one of the owner's warm coats, put them on, and walked out of the house at the sound of Mednaqi's admonition.

……

The city is built in the mountains, which is scattered and layered, but the visibility will be much worse than that of the snow-filled plain area. That's fine, poor visibility is only for the patrolling guards, and my magic is good enough for the situation at hand.

Before the operation, I had browsed the map of Marcus City many times, and the locations of several important places were firmly in my mind, and the rest was to sneak all the way through. Alerted by the detection of spells, I cleverly avoided the patrol route of the guards, leaving the main entrance of the prison completely exposed to me.

Four guards stood outside the prison gate with torches in hand, yawning one after the other, and magic showed that there were more guards inside who were resting. In addition to that, I searched for the magic markers that had been placed on Flotra's body, and soon found out her approximate location.

After learning the specifics of the prison, I decided to go it alone and do it in advance. The Oathbreaker's riot in another place does attract most of my attention, but it also wakes up dormant guards. This will make the rescue more difficult.

It's impossible to break through, I have to find a shortcut for myself.

I moved slowly along the perimeter of the prison, scrutinizing the thickness of each stone wall and the space and people behind it, until I was in a position very close to Flotra.

One of the characteristics of change magic is that it can forcibly change the phase of matter. In the current case, the rock walls are made as soft and malleable as clay in a very short period of time, and they are peeled off before they can re-solidify. But the job at hand wasn't about making lenses out of small pieces of sapphire, I had to carve out a passage through a metre-thick rock wall.

It was a lot of work, but I had previously obtained a bottle of dwarven oil from Mednaqi.

Don't be mistaken by the name, it's not the oil extracted from the dwarves. In the course of more than 20 years of mining and excavation, the Oathbreakers have had a lot of contact with the dwarven ruins under the city of Marcas, so they have also obtained some "high-tech" objects left by the dwarves, and this bottle of high-energy-density oily liquid that can restore mana is one of them.

The bottle in my hand was large enough for me to peel back the nearly one-meter-thick stone wall in front of me layer by layer, and it didn't make any noticeable sound.

……

It's really a personal effort. In addition to casting spells with high loads, you also have to fight guerrilla warfare with patrols who approach from time to time outside. Fortunately, the city is three-dimensional, and there are countless ways to get stuck in each other's perspectives on the road, and after some entanglement, they finally achieved their goal.

After seeing the inside through the small hole, I softened the last remaining layer of the stone wall and drilled through the gap. Unlike the mine next door, the living conditions here are much better, with a single cell, a bed and a desk, and daily necessities such as pens and paper, books, and oil lamps on the table.

Florella was in one of the cells. The guard on duty lay down on the table very humiliatingly, and to be on the safe side, I applied to him from a distance the effect of weakening his hearing and deepening his sleep, and unless I shouted loudly without opening my eyes, he would continue to sleep in his sleep.

I crept to the door of Flora's cell, poured the last sip of dwarven oil, and used the same spell to tear open a gaping hole in the iron fence.

Florella was also asleep, so I walked over to the bed and picked her up.

"Ahh

Flotra was awakened by the movement and reflexively wanted to scream, so I quickly covered her mouth tightly. Finding a familiar face, Flotra calmed down, but the movement had already made the others aware of it.

"Hey! Good Samaritan, can you take me out with you? ”

In the cell opposite the door was a beggar who climbed from his bed to the edge of the iron fence and begged me in a low voice for me to let him go.

It's not a VIP room, why is there a beggar locked up here? Thinking that Flora had been his neighbor for a day, I asked her who he was and why he had come in.

"He is an old rascal* in the city of Marcas, who was caught red-handed for theft at the Temple of Dibella the other day." Flora whispered to me, "The Temple of Dibella needs an explanation, but he also has a connection to the Thieves' Guild, so the Silverblood Family has locked him up here for the time being. ”

I don't care about any of this, but I still won't take him out, there will be a riot in Marcus tonight, and it's safe for the idlers to stay here.

Seeing that I hadn't made a decision yet, the beggar looked impatient, "Hey, can you take me out with you?" It's boring to stay here! ”

"I'm sorry, I'd suggest you stay here for now, there's going to be an accident in the city tonight, it's the safest place."

"Safety? The Silverblood Family still needs me to help them take the lead with the guild, with them covered, who dares to touch me in this city? ”

"Marcas City will be attacked tonight, and I advise you to stay here for your own sake. It's good to be bored and endure it, anyway, if you're locked in, it's a formality, and it won't be long before you're released, isn't it? ”

"Attack? Do you think everyone has what it takes to break through the gates? You just won't take me out with you! The beggar looked dismissive of the reasons I gave. He still wanted to persuade me, but unfortunately I had already made up my mind.

"Hey, wait, wait......" The beggar put his hand out of the iron fence, but he couldn't reach the hem of my clothes. Seeing that I was about to leave, the beggar suddenly let go of his voice and yelled.

"Guards! Someone has escaped from prison! ”

Damn it! Without much thought, before the next cry could come out of his mouth, I quickly turned around and grabbed the beggar by the neck, so that he could shut his mouth forever.

However, the first cry was already overwhelmed, and the guard, who was sleeping on the table, noticed that something was wrong, stood up, rubbed his eyes, and looked in our direction.

"Someone robbed the prison!"

The guard was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled the rope at hand, and a dense bell rang out to all corners of the prison. I could already detect the sleeping guards in the room outside having risen from their beds, scrambling to wrap their clothes.

Gotta get out of here! I threw the metal bottle of dwarven oil in my hand at the guard's face, knocking him unconscious.

The sound of the prison's alarm bells shattered the silence of the city of Makas. As if in response to a signal here, the noise and fire came from the other side of the city.

Mednach and his abothbreakers are on the move.
